Audrey Hall is the daughter of Earl that Sevillea once said, asking me to find a way to be friends with her?
I didn't expect such a beautiful Miss. I thought it was Mid Sequence, or even Demoness Pathway Beyonder of High Sequence...
Until he came into close contact with her, Angel did not completely deny this possibility. After all, "Demoness" Pathway would be difficult to distinguish from ordinary people except for appearance if he did not use Beyonder Ability.
"Miss Hall, I am Irene Watson, the niece of Mrs. Sevillea Landon. Nice to meet you."
She gave her false name and identity.
"Just call me Audrey, that's what my friends call me," Audrey smiled slightly, folded his hands on his knees, and laid his legs together on his side. His posture was in perfect compliance with social etiquette. "It's too noisy here, and it can easily attract attention. Please be sure to attend another salon hosted by me and Viscount Glaint later. Someone will guide you through the side door."
"I don't think you can refuse this invitation, right?"
After that, she stood up with her skirt in hand and walked gracefully to the center of the venue, her high-heeled dancing shoes making a subtle sound as she stepped on the carpet.
Only then did Angel realize that many guests in the salon were already looking at this small corner. He realized that Audrey, as the focus of the party, was probably worried that he would attract too many unnecessary attention, so he left after a quick conversation.
Sevillea also looked over, with a smile and confusion in his eyes. He was probably guessing why he could talk to Audrey so easily.
It's a pity, I don't know why...
Angel thought that it might be Xio Derecha who introduced him to Audrey, making her interested in him before the salon was held.
Another possibility is that Xio's commission to find Lanevus was issued by Audrey, or by some nobles behind her, so the person who provided clues to Lanevus's location also came into their sights.
But there is currently no evidence, just speculation.
After a few minutes, Angel noticed that Audrey and Viscount Glaint left the salon one after another. Although this made the hall less focused, the other guests relaxed more and communicated more enthusiastically. Accompanied by the elegant piano music, the atmosphere gradually heated up.
She knew it was time for her to leave.
Walking to the side door, she slipped out of the hall and found a maid waiting outside the door.
The other party took her to a heavy wooden door in the side hall. After knocking on the door several times, she heard a slight ringing of a bell for a moment. She opened the door and invited Angel in.
The sound insulation effect of the door is very good. It seems that this is the location of "Occult Salon" mentioned by Audrey?
Entering the door and bypassing a partition, Angel found that it was a small study room. The dressed-up Audrey that he saw just now had changed out of his formal dress and put on a light dress and was sitting behind the desk.
The owner here, Viscount Glaint, sat on the armchair next to him like a guest. He also took off his tuxedo and tie, wearing only a white shirt and a brown vest.
A Golden Retriever was lying next to the desk, its round eyes staring at Angel who had just entered the room. The latter discovered that it was the one lying next to Xio in the last salon. It turned out that its owner was Miss Audrey.
"Irene Watson Miss, hello, welcome to our 'small group'," the Viscount did not stand up, but just nodded as a greeting, which was consistent with his status. "I heard that you are quite knowledgeable about mysticism. Maybe here, we can share some unique knowledge and news."
"There are not many members here. At present, including you, there are only five," Audrey took over and continued to introduce, "Glaint and I, Xio Derecha Miss, presumably you I met her last week, and there is also Ms. Fors Wall. Both of them are Beyonder, well, the real kind of Beyonder. It's a pity that they can't come to the salon these days. You will get to know them in the future."
I can't attend these days...
Is it because Hugh Miss reported Lanevus and kept a low profile that he won't appear here in the near future? Then she, "Bounty Hunter", is most likely acting as the "white glove" of these two nobles.
Angel guessed, but seeing the two people looking at him, he could only answer quickly without thinking about it carefully:
"I'm very happy to join your party. I also yearn for the kind of Beyonder that has the real Beyonder Ability, even..."
When introducing himself, Angel wanted to pretend to be an occult enthusiast pursuing Potion's power, but suddenly he thought of his meeting with Xio. The latter already knew his identity as Beyonder. According to their relationship, if Xio knew, it meant that Audrey and the Viscount also knew.
Moreover, if you are not Beyonder, these two nobles do not have to invite you to join "Occult Salon" so solemnly.
"... Even, I am a Beyonder, well, the lowest Sequence."
She changed her words and admitted.
As expected, Glaint had an expression of "Sure enough," while Audrey had a look of curiosity and even a hint of disbelief.
"With all due respect, what kind of Pathway are you Beyonder?"
She seemed to be afraid that this question would cause Angel to misunderstand, so she asked in an extremely calm tone.
"Seer, Seer of Sequence 9."
Without hesitation, Angel reported that he knew another way to the potion formula, Sequence 9, not the "Assassin" way.
"Divination? Is it the kind of Tarot Cards, crystal ball divination?"
Viscount Glaint was obviously more impatient than Audrey. After hearing Angel's lie, Potion Pathway immediately asked.
"I'm better at Magic Mirror Divination. I can also do pendulum and tarot."
Realizing that it would be difficult to eliminate the doubts of the two nobles without showing his hands, Angel approached the desk, sat opposite Audrey, took the paper and pen, and asked the latter with his eyes what divination he needed to perform.
"Well, I want to try divination..." Audrey's jewel-like green eyes showed a hint of playfulness, "My brother will send some gifts back from overseas recently. I want to know whether they can reach Backlund smoothly."
She wrote the divination word "Miss Audrey's gift will arrive at Backlund smoothly" on the paper. She raised the citrine pendant, closed her eyes and recited it silently seven times.
Since the subject who needs divination is right in front of him, the requirements for the information required for divination are not that high, and Angel can get the result directly through the pendulum.
Viscount Glaint stood up from the chair and came over curiously. Audrey also stared at the pendant expectantly.
Angel opened her eyes and found that the crystal was rotating clockwise, and at a faster speed, even pulling her left hand holding the silver chain.
"The gifts should arrive smoothly," she interpreted the divination results, "And based on the divination results, I think they have already arrived?"
The rotation speed of the crystal was different from the usual "sure". She discovered this keenly and made some over-interpretations.
"That's absolutely correct. They arrived at Backlund yesterday. Miss Irene, you are indeed a master of divination."
Audrey looked surprised and replied in a lively tone.
"It's really amazing. I always wanted to be 'Apothecary', but after seeing Miss Irene's performance, I was even a little shaken."
Glaint sat back on the chair next to him, rubbing his chin in distress.
"You may never get the Potion you want like this, but I am different. My goal has always been to become a 'Spectator'."
"Spectator? Is this also the name of a kind of Potion?" Angel took over the topic at the right time, pretending to be a newbie in the occult who didn't understand other Pathway's Potion.
"Yes, it allows people to gain keen observation and can see the other person's true thoughts from their expressions and actions. This is perfect for me."
The noble Miss's eyes were bright and he answered with longing.
"It's a pity that we have been searching for a long time and have not found any clues about these two Potion formulas," Glaint interjected. "This is also the reason why we invited Ms. Fors, Hugh Miss, and Miss Irene to join you. Do you know the formulas of these Potion, or do you have any clues about them?"
The viscount looked at Angel with expectation.
