Susie was squatting by the door, waiting for Audrey to return.
As soon as she approached, the golden retriever immediately went to greet her, barking twice and wagging its tail with considerable flair.
She didn't ask immediately, but stayed with Audrey until they returned to the bedroom before asking with concern:
Is it over?
Audrey hummed in agreement, indicating that everything was fine.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Susie asked.
"Not for now," Audrey said, shaking her head slightly.
Because of Susie's concern, she instinctively tried to recall what had just happened, but found that she could not remember the image and name of the president of the Psychology Alchemists at all. She even had to concentrate to remember some of the information she had learned from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow.
Frankly speaking, she, as a " Manipulator," could do something similar in front of Beyonder below the level of Demigod, but to influence a Saint in the realm of the mind without him noticing was almost impossible, unless the other party had been Hypnosis, put into a coma, or enslaved.
That gentleman might be on a higher level than I had imagined... Audrey controlled her emotions and calmly made a certain judgment.
She winked at Susie, signaling the golden retriever to stand guard outside the door, while she mentally sketched out the Persona Mask representing " Pride."
Just as she was thinking this, she felt a slight ripple in the Sea of Collective Subconscious around her.
In a flash of thought, Audrey reached out her left hand, grabbed at the side, and pulled out an unusually cold, extremely ethereal gray-white mask.
If I just think about it seriously, will this mask of " Pride " come to my side? Or does it already exist in my subconscious, always following me? Audrey carefully examined her own mental island while giving the thought to make the mask of " Pride " disappear.
The cold, ethereal gray mask quickly became transparent, melting into the surrounding Sea of Collective Subconscious.
Audrey still couldn't figure out where the " Pride " mask had gone or why it had appeared so quickly.
This made her even more wary, and she decided to pray to Mr. The Fool whenever she had the chance, Wishes to seal this Persona Mask away.
Just as she was about to conduct more experiments and glean more knowledge from the mask of " Pride," she saw the Sea of Collective Subconscious gently swaying without needing to use the extraordinary abilities of the " Manipulator."
A glimmer of light "swam" from afar, growing larger and more distinct until it finally transformed into an illusory letter.
The letter stopped before Audrey's island of the heart, seemingly searching for a way to complete its "delivery."
Audrey, of course, wouldn't allow anything from outside her to enter her consciousness, so she quickly reached out her left hand and touched the illusory letter.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the surface of the letter, Audrey suddenly stopped.
Her experience and intelligence both told her:
Do not rashly engage with anything in the occult world, especially anything in the spiritual realm, otherwise you can easily be corrupted and develop mental problems!
With that in mind, Audrey conjured up a virtual personality to take the lead and put on the " Hand of Horror," a long, black, sheer glove.
Having made the necessary preparations, she reached out and took the illusory letter, watching as its outer cover peeled away in her palm, unfolding page by page.
This is all the information related to the Mind Dragon in East Chester County.
Using the Sea of Collective Subconscious to transmit information... The higher-level abilities of the " Spectator " pathway are truly amazing... As a " Manipulator," Audrey has always strived to maintain her the Original yearning for the occult world, that simple pursuit of "dream" and "wonder."
This is one of the ways she avoids getting lost in the experience of " Manipulation " and being gradually assimilated by the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
After going through all the materials, Audrey let the illusory letter dissolve into the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
She didn't rush to pray to Mr. The Fool, and instead went out to attend to other things as planned.
As Twilight and before the family dinner began, she found a moment to quickly pray in her bedroom and make a Wishes.
The next second, Audrey saw the gray-white " Pride " mask emerge from the Sea of Collective Subconscious in front of her, the illusion gradually disappearing, revealing a slight metallic luster.
For some reason, this Persona Mask has taken on a certain tangible quality, existing somewhere between illusion and reality.
This means that it is physically separated from Audrey's island of the soul.
Of course, it also lost the ability to directly return to the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
Holding the " Pride " mask, Audrey tried to remove the " Lies " that had turned into an emerald necklace and overlapped the two together.
Just as she had predicted, the mask of " Pride," half real and half illusory, was embedded in the " Lies," turning into a pattern that at first glance resembled a human face.
From now on, I will carry this with me in this way, so that the Persona Mask will not have any contact with my mind or body until I need to use it... Audrey's thoughts turned, and she sincerely thanked Mr. " The Fool ".
She then went out and headed to the banquet hall in her home.
On her journey, she encountered her father Earl Hall.
"Good news," Earl Hall said with a smile.
Audrey did not hide her surprise:
"Is Alfred coming back?"
This is her other brother.
"You actually guessed that?" Earl Hall said with slight surprise. "He will return to Backlund as a general in the second half of the year."
In the second half of the year... Susie will be a " Dreamwalker "... Audrey thought for a moment and then asked:
"Dad, when are we going back to East Chester County?"
Because the war had just ended and there was so much to do throughout the kingdom, the nobles did not return to their fiefdoms for the New Year and remained in Backlund. It was already the end of February.
Earl Hall nodded and said:
It will probably be around April.
Above the Gray Fog, inside the ancient palace.
"Mind Mail... Be careful of viruses, don't click on anything... "Klein sighed as he threw the " Curtain " representing the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Attendant of Mysteries " back into the pile of junk, letting it cover all the items there.
He just fulfilled Miss Justice's Wishes using his self-named " Grafting " ability, connecting the illusory concept of Persona Mask with the metallic texture of an ordinary iron mask. He also gave the " Worm of Spirit " guarding " Sefirah Castle " the order to replenish their strength on time so that " Grafting " could be maintained.
"Judging from the description of that ' Gluttony ' from the Psychology Alchemists, Zaratul seems to have tracked him down to City of Constant. I must be even more careful..." Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, causing one " Worm of Spirit " after another to emerge from his body.
His figure then disappeared inside the " Sefirah Castle ".
Inside Serenity Cathedral in Winter County, the Amanda Mountain Range.
Leonard obtained a document from the Pope.
This will be the first thing he will be responsible for after becoming a senior deacon.
Back in his room, Leonard leisurely leaned back in his chair, put his feet up on the desk, and then began to read the documents one by one.
" Merlin Hermes, a wandering Magician who finds pleasure in granting others' Wishes... The City of Constant rebuilt overnight... The ' Fully Automatic Wishing Machine '... The Sequence 4 of the ' Seer ' pathway is called ' Bizarro Sorcerer,' Sequence 3 is called ' Scholar of Yore,' Sequence 2 is called ' Miracle Invoker '..."
Leonard watched for a while, then suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds, he asked in a low voice:
" Old Man, how many Angel of the ' Seer ' path are still active on Earth?"
Pallez Zoroast clicked his tongue.
"This is just Acting; there should only be one ' Miracle Invoker ' left to Acting at the moment."
You should know who I'm talking about.
Leonard glanced at the documents in his hand again and muttered something.
"You had a lot of fun..."
He has decided that the main purpose of this mission is to Acting of a " Nightwatcher," digest the Potion in his body, and Travel around on the side. As for dealing with the incident, the focus is on finding a reasonable explanation.
After idly flipping through the thick stack of documents, Leonard pulled his feet back and stood up.
He was going to collect his Level 1 Sealed Artifact, which belonged to him as a high-ranking deacon.
For other Saint of the Church of Evernight, this is quite a headache, because the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact are not easy to bear, especially when they need to be carried for a long time. However, if they choose a holy relic that is more compatible with themselves, then there will be the problem of overlapping abilities.
Leonard doesn't need to worry about this problem. As long as the Sealed Artifact he wants has the characteristic of being alive, he can ask the Old Man to help him " Parasitism " a " Worm of Time " inside, which will significantly reduce the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact and make it as obedient as " Words of the Sea ".
So, the key is to choose based on ability... Leonard whistled and walked out of the room.
Monday afternoon at three o'clock, inside the ancient palace above the Gray Fog.
Crimson rays of light rose up and solidified into different human figures.
" The Sun " Derrick had long since learned to tell the Tarot Gathering time simply by glancing at the clock and calculating Backlund time, without needing to silently count his heartbeats. At this moment, he rose with " Justice " and, along with the other members of the Tarot Club, bowed towards the head of the bronze table:
Good afternoon, Mr. The Fool.
After everyone took their seats and exchanged greetings, " The Moon " Emlyn glanced around and said:
"I'd like to know if the ' Planter ' and ' The Moon ' pathways are any special compared to other pathways?"
After asking the question, he didn't try to hide anything and added quite frankly:
"I recently learned that the internal structure of the Church of Earth differs from the norm, being divided into two parts: those with God's Grace and those God's Blessed..."
After Emlyn the Moon finished his brief description, Alger the Hanged Man, the Hermit the Cattleya, Leonard the Star, and the others exchanged glances, none of them able to offer a reasonable explanation.
Of course, every member present, including " The Sun " Derrick, could hear the abnormality in the internal system of the Church of Earth.
Just then, they heard a soft sigh.
The sigh seemed to come from an era older than the ancient, originating from the " The Fool " at the head of the weathered long table.
