"Audrey Hall… Tsk, what a coincidence!"
Inside an anonymous hotel, Lin Ruo, who was flipping through some documents, raised his eyebrows involuntarily when he saw a familiar name.
Audrey Hall, Miss "Justice" of the Tarot Club, is about to become a "Spectator", and is only 17 years old this year. She is the daughter of Earl Hall, a high-ranking nobleman.
In the original work, this lady can be described as synonymous with "money power" in the early stage, and almost single-handedly revitalized the internal economy of the Tarot Club.
At the same time, because of her almost peak appearance throughout the text, and her blonde hair and blue eyes, she was once jokingly called the "Green-Eyed Beauty Group" by book fans along with Leonard.
Moreover, because of the strengthening of the Spectator pathway in close combat in the later stage, Audrey Hall also has the nickname of "Jewel of Backlund".
Of course, these are not the most talked about aspects of Miss Audrey Hall. What makes people want to complain about this lady the most is that she also has a dog of the same pathway, and even this dog became a Spectator before her.
"I wonder if the Dog Almighty has taken its first step…" Thinking of the various things in the original work, Lin Ruo's smile became subtle.
However, joking is joking. After joking, Lin Ruo still seriously considered the possibility that the Blade Follower's target was Audrey Hall.
Honestly, the possibility is not low. After all, Audrey Hall's father, Earl Hall, is a real high-ranking nobleman with a high influence in Loen.
Moreover, Audrey Hall's identity itself also destined her to easily come into contact with those in the same level, or even higher levels of power.
If the Blade Follower or the people behind them want to cause trouble in Loen, contacting or even controlling Audrey Hall is indeed a good choice.
Moreover, unlike Earl Hall, who is regularly checked by the Night Church to see if he is affected by Beyonder powers, Audrey Hall does not receive much attention from the Church, so controlling her will naturally not be so easily discovered.
In addition to this, Lin Ruo also thought of a possibility, a reason that has a small probability of existing but cannot be ignored—since he, as a transmigrator, knows the plot of "Lord of the Mysteries", do those believers from the mystical world also know it?
This is not impossible, and if the other party really knows and has designs on the Sefirah Castle, then using Audrey Hall as a breakthrough point is indeed a good choice at the moment.
After all, although Klein is weak now, he is already under the gaze of the Evernight Goddess. Moving him will inevitably encounter the Goddess's counterattack. As for The Hanged Man Alger, he is located at sea, his whereabouts are erratic, his sequence is the highest among the three, and he himself is an old fritter backed by the Church.
On the other hand, Audrey Hall, although she has advanced to Spectator, is obviously still quite young compared to later, and the difficulty of approaching her is indeed not high.
Of course, these are just Lin Ruo's guesses. Lin Ruo would not therefore arbitrarily establish Audrey Hall as the target of the Blade Follower.
"But she really has to be regarded as a key object of attention!" Muttering to himself, Lin Ruo then flipped through the remaining information.
As a teacher, Irimei Cati can naturally not come into contact with many people, and they are basically either students or colleagues, and there are very few special ones. As a dance teacher, Lil can come into contact with many big shots, but among these people, the one with the highest status besides Audrey Hall, the family background of the other noble ladies is basically a bit worse.
For these people, Lin Ruo naturally cannot focus on observing them one by one. He does not have that energy and mental strength.
Therefore, Lin Ruo can only pick out a few key objects of attention, including Audrey Hall, and decide to contact them in the next step.
"It's not a bad thing… It's time for me to contact the members of the Tarot Club. Maybe I can become an object recommended by Justice to join the Tarot in the future?"
Lin Ruo pinched his chin, thinking of "The Judgement" Xio, who saw the Fool's honorific name under the guidance of Audrey Hall in the original work, and then directly recited the Fool's honorific name because of his recklessness, and "The Magician" Fors, the strongest salted fish in the whole text, who was so lazy that Cuttlefish-sensei could not kill her off, and could not help but laugh.
After laughing, Lin Ruo fell into thought.
He was thinking about what way to approach Justice Audrey, and whether to get to know Judgement Xio and Magician Fors by the way.
But this matter must be considered in the long term, and cannot be rushed.
…
While Lin Ruo was planning how to "break into the Tarot Club" and contact the Tarot Club partners, inside a private chemical laboratory with complete instruments and items—
"Haha, I really have a talent for mysticism, I succeeded once! I was worried about failure before, so I prepared two copies of the materials!" A girl's self-talk, which was inexplicably mixed with a bit of second-grade sand sculpture meaning, rang out in this chemical laboratory.
I saw that the speaker was tall and slender, with soft blonde hair. It was Audrey Hall, the pinnacle of beauty in "Lord of the Mysteries", whose beautiful appearance once made Klein suffer from witch PTSD.
At this time, she was staring at the cup in her hand, and countless bubbles emerged, making the atmosphere become quiet.
In the end, the liquid in the cup precipitated into a viscous silvery white.
This is a newly prepared "Spectator" potion, Sequence 9 of the Visionary pathway.
As a "money power" person, Audrey Hall collected all the materials needed to prepare the Spectator potion in the shortest time after receiving the Spectator potion formula from The Hanged Man Alger on Monday—two copies!
It fully interprets what it means to be rich and capricious!
Taking a deep breath, just as Audrey Hall closed her eyes and prepared to drink the cup of "Spectator" potion in her hand, the sound of "woof woof woof" suddenly rang out outside the laboratory.
Audrey Hall frowned involuntarily. She put the Spectator potion in an inconspicuous dark corner, turned around and walked to the door, and subconsciously asked: "Susie, who's here?"
Then Audrey Hall saw her personal maid Annie appearing in the corridor.
Audrey Hall, who was slightly puzzled, then came out to talk to the maid. After successfully dealing with the other party, she watched the other party go away and returned to the laboratory again.
Suddenly, she found that Susie, the golden retriever dog who should have been staying outside, was gone, and the door of the laboratory was half-open.
A bad premonition suddenly enveloped Audrey Hall. Thinking of a certain golden retriever dog who could open the door by itself, she then heard a crisp sound coming from the laboratory.
Ignoring her elegance, Audrey Hall rushed into the laboratory, and saw that the cup she used to hold the Spectator potion had been shattered on the ground.
And the golden retriever dog Susie was licking the last drop of silvery white liquid in front of her.
Audrey Hall was stunned at the door, like a statue.
The golden retriever dog Susie sat upright and looked at her master with innocent eyes, wagging her tail.
At the same time, in the outer sea area of Pritz Harbor, on an island that is always shrouded in storms, on an ancient sailboat parked in the port.
"Sayns, you don't know because you don't know enough…" Looking at his departing partner, Alger whispered silently.
The wind and waves are getting bigger at this moment.
