Chapter 69: The Footsteps of War

Beckland, furniture businessman Hampres's home.

Audrey once again met Hewen Lambis, a member of the Psychological Alchemist Review Team.

The old man was still gentle and elegant, with his white and dense hair neatly combed, and his blue and deep eyes seemed to contain countless knowledge.

As soon as he saw him, Audrey's eyes were first confused, then suddenly realized that she seemed to finally wake up from the long dream and regain her lost memory.

But she was not surprised or surprised by this, and accepted this fact without any resistance, as if it was a very normal thing.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lambis." Audrey greeted with etiquette that was so standard that she could not find any wrong.

He Wen nodded gently and responded with a smile:

"Good afternoon, our girl."

During the several meetings over the past month, he gradually guided Audrey's self-positioning to "the pride of the Psychological Alchemy" and "the most important girl".

Audrey looked down at the diamond collar needle in front of her, and found a seat with a smile, waiting for Hewin Lambis to speak.

She was prepared for the so-called hints and guidance every time, she was not affected by any reason. At this time, when she heard the name of Hewen Lambis, she wanted to ignore her image, not be polite, and roll her eyes without fear of being exposed, but in the end she held back without showing any trace.

Herwin Lambis looked at Audrey for a few seconds and said with a smile:

"You have done a good job during this period. As a reward, we decided to give you the 'Dream Walker' potion recipe."

While speaking, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his top pocket, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it to the noble girl diagonally opposite him.

Audrey held the skirt with her hand, got up slightly, took the piece of paper, and spread it in front of Herwin Lambis.

Her eyes first fell on the main material, and then quickly slid to the ceremony part:

"Main material: a heart of a dream catcher, a crystallization of a heart phantom, or a complete brain of an adult soul dragon."

...

"Rite: Find the Spiritual World's Human-Headed Bird Demon, sign a contract with it, and then take one of its tail feathers and take the potion in the intense emotions of joy or anger."

As if he noticed Audrey's doubts, Hewen Lambis explained with a smile:

"The human-headed bird monster has the ability to wake people up from dreams, so the essence of the whole ritual is to pull you out through an external force when you are addicted to dreams and don't want to wake up. Otherwise, you may fall asleep forever or you may lose control as a monster on the spot."

Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

"Take potions in intense emotions to make yourself sleep uneasy and not fall into deep sleep?"

"Yes, you have grasped the key." Hewen Lambis smiled and said, "If you don't know much about the spiritual world and can't find the human-headed bird demon, we can provide some help."

If the essence of the ceremony is to wake me up from my dream, it may not be necessary for human-headed bird demons. The blessing of the "Follower" angel can keep me awake in my dreams, and wake up whenever I want... Audrey's blue eyes turned slightly, revealing some expectation and said:

"I can try it myself first."

"Okay." Hewen didn't care much about the girl's mentality of wanting to take a risk.

He paused and said:

"There is something left for you to do this time. If you do it well, we will provide all the materials for the 'Dream Walker' potion."

"What's the matter?" Audrey asked without any resistance as usual.

Herwin Lambis' expression was slightly serious and said:

"Find out the attitudes of your father, Earl Hall, current Duke of Negan, General Amyrius, and other nobles toward a greater war."

"War..." Audrey repeated this word that was often heard but slightly unfamiliar, and she felt a vague feeling of ripples spreading under the calm lake.

…………

"War..." Above the gray fog, Klein listened to Miss "Justice"'s prayer and fell into thinking.

He is currently unable to determine whether the Psychological Alchemy, or Hermith, and even Adam, who hid behind them, would welcome or oppose the war.

As for King Ruen, the Prime Minister and some nobles, whether the MPs want to fight, the answer is relatively clear.

Last year, the "Hangered Man" asked Miss Justice similar questions. Her answer was that the king and the prime minister tended to war, but chose to make internal changes first and straighten out the relationships in all aspects.

Now, almost a year has passed, and the various policies introduced at that time have basically been on the right track.

In other words, it is time to start a war and regain the part of the interests that Ruen lost in Dongbailang!

Now is an era of change. There are fierce domestic conflicts. Once the war begins, the degree is mostly uncontrollable... Moreover, the angel kings such as Adam and Amon have returned one after another, and have obtained key items or are seeking breakthroughs. The mysterious world is also coming, and the crisis is hidden... Klein sighed and returned to the real world.

The next day, according to the scheduled itinerary, he first went to St. Samuel's Church to pray, donated dozens of pounds of cash, and then came to No. 22, Pesfire Street, intending to participate in some affairs of the "Ruen Charity Scholarship Fund".

As soon as he entered the game, Klein saw Miss Audrey Hall and several foundation staff go downstairs and walk towards the door.

This noble girl was dressed very simply today, with her hair rolled up and no jewelry. Her dress was light green in color, with only a circle of ruffles on her cuffs, and no lace or tassels were seen.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey." Klein took off his hat familiarly, saluted, nodded to the staff, and said good morning.

When Audrey responded, Klein asked casually:

"Where are you going?"

He knew that Miss Justice’s main job at the foundation was to raise funds from all the gentlemen and ladies in the upper class.

Audrey responded with a smile:

"Go to visit various universities and care about the students I helped before."

Speaking of this, she blinked her eyes and smiled a little more obvious:

"Mr. Dontez, are you going together? Let's see the children who have the opportunity to change their destiny because of your thoughts and kindness. Well, some are already young people."

Although Klein had never thought about the reward from the "Ruen Charity Scholarship Fund", he sincerely hoped that this would help the target group. Therefore, he was still quite concerned about the current actual progress and the real situation. He smiled and nodded with a slight hesitation:

“This is an invitation that cannot be refused.”

Their team went out and at the suggestion of Miss Audrey, they chose a trackless public carriage.

"You seem to be used to it?" As he got on the carriage, Kline asked Miss Audrey gentlemanly, then sat opposite him, and asked with a smile.

Audrey looked at the nearby foundation staff and said with a smile:

"It's not the first time. It's impossible for me to take my own carriage every time I go out. They use public transportation.

Speaking of this, she paused a little embarrassedly:

"When I first took a public carriage like this, I took out a pound denomination note, and the lady who collected the money asked me to go down and buy a few newspapers before coming.

"Well, it's cleaner than I thought, and the smell in the air is not too unbearable."

Klein nodded slightly and said:

"Because people who are really poor rarely take such public transportation, they would rather walk, and under normal circumstances they don't have to go, and they can't go too far."

"Mr. Dontez, you seem to be familiar with these?" Although Audrey guessed the reason, she still asked this in front of others.

Klein smiled and said:

"Although I haven't experienced it directly, I've seen too many."

Audrey did not continue this topic, but instead talked about the recipients who wanted to confirm their study and life situation this time.

During the chat, they arrived at the first stop of this visit, Beckland Technical University.

Based on Audrey's identity and social relations between Dawn Dontes, they met directly with the president of the newly formed university, a resident of 100 Berklund Street, Mr. Portland Mormont.

The old man was tall, rosy and loud. He talked about the things that happened since the establishment of the school and complained to the Higher Education Committee from time to time.

Audrey and Klein listened with a decent smile, occasionally echoing.

Finally, they found an opportunity and offered to start work.

Portland was about to call the secretary in when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his office.

"Please come in." The principal responded loudly.

The door opened without any movement, and a girl with black hair and brown eyes came in. She didn't dress up, had a thin face and a pretty straight facial features, and she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Klein's eyes suddenly became deeper and he immediately took it back.

The girl didn't expect there were guests in the principal's office. She was a little nervous for a moment and hurriedly lowered her head:

"Excuse me."

"It's okay, they're going to leave." Portland said indifferently, "The items you asked you to make last week have been prepared?"

"It's done." The girl stood aside through the door.

Portland Mormont then smiled at Dawn Dontes and Audrey:

"Her name is Melissa Moretti, and she is very talented in mechanical aspects. I accidentally discovered it and asked her to go to my lab for help after class. Of course, she can only do some miscellaneous work at the moment."

"No," Klein praised with a clear smile.

Audrey glanced at him and said with a smile:

"There are always some arrogant guys who say women don't have the talent in the field of mechanical things, and this lady proves their mistake."

Portland smiled and shook his head:

"There is no need to care about those remarks. Okay, I'll let the secretary take you to understand the situation of those who are being given."

Audrey and Crane left the office without staying.

After leaving the door, Audrey glanced at Dawn Dontes again, but said nothing.
