Chapter 133 Audrey's Support
It would be strange if he gave it to you. The Church of the Earth Mother was able to legally establish a missionary church in the Kingdom of Rune only through compromises and under significant restrictions. Furthermore, the consensus within the Church of the True Gods is that potion recipes cannot be taught to ordinary people; how could he possibly break this tradition for you?
Of course, Evan introduced him to the Harvest Church not so much to get the potion recipe from there, but to see if he could establish contact with Father Utravsky, since his public identity was more sensitive and troublesome than Klein's.
"Did he say why he couldn't give you the potion recipe? Did he say anything about you worshipping the Earth Mother Goddess or joining the Harvest Church?"
"No, after he refused to sell me the potion formula, I tentatively asked him if I could join the Church of Harvest. He said that he could only spread the faith among ordinary people, which was one of the conditions for him to preach in Backlund."
Viscount Grelint was clearly being turned away for the first time because of his 'noble' status, so he said this with a frustrated look on his face.
It seems I'll have to find another opportunity to re-establish contact with Father Utravsky. I wonder if he's currently experiencing a mental breakdown.
Evan sighed inwardly. The Storm Church had indeed set very strict rules for allowing the Earth Mother Church to establish a church in Backlund. It would be difficult for him, who had an official status, to contact them in the short term.
Seeing the sullen Viscount Grelint, Evan smiled and said:
"It's okay if you didn't get the potion recipe. I have another way that might allow you to become a 'pharmacist'."
"What channel? Why didn't you tell me last time?"
Although Viscount Grelint was keen to continue seeking information about the 'Pharmacist' potion recipe from Evan, he didn't have high hopes. Unexpectedly, a new path opened up, which made him marvel at Evan's extensive network of connections.
Just as Evan was about to speak, a servant came to Viscount Grynt and informed him that an important guest had arrived.
Viscount Grelint, the host of the salon, couldn't stay with Evan for too long, and he also sensed that Evan wasn't very interested in the salon. So he instructed his servant to take Evan to a guest room in the villa and said to him:
"Actually, it was Earl Hall's youngest daughter, Miss Audrey, and I who jointly invited you here today. We'd like to ask you for a favor!"
"What kind of help?"
Evan knew that Fors would have a historic meeting with Miss Justice Audrey today, and he somewhat understood why they wanted his help, but he still asked.
"I've met an extraordinary person and hope to learn about the extraordinary world and access relevant channels through her, but I also have some concerns. So I'd like to ask you, a professional from MI9, to take a look."
"No problem, see you in a bit."
Evan had no objection, and at the same time, he guessed that Audrey hadn't invited him for that purpose. After all, she was just an "audience member," best at observing others, and didn't need him to help her watch people.
Miss Justice Audrey probably did this because she wanted to establish a formal connection with herself, a member of the Tarot Club, in real life, and strengthen communication and cooperation between them, especially since they both already knew each other's identities.
Evan took a plate and selected some steaks and pan-fried bream from the table, then followed the servant into the small reception room on the second floor of Viscount Grynt's house.
After Evan finished eating the food he had chosen, he was drinking black tea to cleanse his palate when the door to the small reception room opened, and Viscount Grelint appeared there with Miss Audrey, who had blonde hair and blue eyes.
Although Evan had already seen Audrey at the dinner party, he was still stunned by her angelic beauty.
However, Evan, having undergone witch training, was more immune to the effects of beauty than others. He quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, took Audrey's white-gloved hand, gave it a light kiss, and said:
"Your beauty is like the most beautiful diamond, shining and dazzling."
Audrey curtsied slightly, then smiled and said:
"Thank you for your compliment."
Viscount Grelint gestured for Evan and Audrey to sit on the sofa, then instructed a servant to fetch the guests they were to meet, while simultaneously introducing the situation:
"That woman was both an extraordinary person and a writer."
"writer?"
Audrey uses her "audience" insight to observe Grelint and Evan's reactions.
"You must have read her book, the one that has received widespread acclaim in the last two months, 'The Stormy Mansion.' Her temperament is just like the protagonist of the book, Detective Sissi, languid yet wise."
As Viscount Greenchett introduced Fors, Evan listened quietly with a smile, offering no opinion of his own.
This made Audrey, who had been secretly observing him, somewhat discouraged. She wondered if Evan's sequence had the ability to control the 'audience', as she couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.
Just then, the servant opened the door to the reception room and led Fors, who had a languid air, brown hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a beige high-necked long dress, into the room.
Fors was initially casual and nonchalant, feeling a sense of psychological superiority even when facing nobles. However, as soon as she entered the small reception room, she immediately abandoned her previous demeanor.
She discovered that, in addition to the two nobles she was supposed to meet, there was another person in the reception room, and that person was her superior.
Although she was instructed by Viscount Grelint to come to him, seeing Evan suddenly made her feel like she was being supervised by her boss at work, and she became very uncomfortable.
After Fors entered the meeting room, Audrey used her "audience" ability to quickly analyze a lot of information about Fors, including that she had deliberately revealed her Extraordinary status in front of Gryllant, and that she had something to ask of herself and Gryllant.
At the same time, Audrey also noticed Fors's unease after seeing Evan.
She wasn't flustered by seeing another person at this meeting; rather, she seemed flustered by recognizing Mr. "Power."
I heard that Mr. "Power" works in intelligence within MI9, not in fieldwork. How does this writer know Evan?
You can't tell anything from Mr. "Power's" face. What path did he take to become an Extraordinary? He seems to be really controlling of the audience.
Viscount Grelint remained oblivious to either Fors's or Audrey's inner thoughts, enthusiastically introducing them to each other.
After both parties were seated, Audrey dismissed her personal maid Anne to the door. Fors then demonstrated her ability to "open the door" as if she were being inspected by her superiors, drawing praise from Gretel and Audrey.
Then Fors made a deal with Viscount Greenchett and Audrey, as previously prepared, in exchange for helping them enter the world of the extraordinary in exchange for rescuing "Hugh".
After clarifying the relevant situation, Viscount Grelint and Audrey both looked at Evan, who hadn't said a word. Evan, being from MI9, must know all about this kind of thing.
"Police stations and prisons are a mixed bag. If I get involved, I'm bound to leak information, which would actually be detrimental to Miss Fors' bounty hunter friend. So it's best to get him out through normal channels."
Upon hearing this, Fors immediately nodded in agreement, while Audrey and Gretel exchanged a glance and decided to help Fors with this favor.
Fors was then escorted out of the meeting room by Grylls.
"Mr. Evan, did you know Miss Fors before? She seemed quite awkward around you."
Watching Fors flee as if running away, Audrey covered her mouth and laughed, while looking at Evan with her green crystal eyes.
"Both she and that Miss Hugh are intelligence agents I recruited, and they're registered with MI9. I was the one who suggested she seek help from Viscount Grelint this time, for the reason I mentioned before: if people find out that Miss Hugh has deep ties with MI9, it will be difficult for her to carry out her work in the future."
Audrey was surprised to receive such an answer. She thought Fors was afraid of Evan because mice are afraid of cats.
"Then you could just ask me and Viscount Grelint for help directly, why go through all this trouble?" Audrey said, giving Evan a strange look.
"There's another reason for that, of course. I hope you can find an opportunity to get Miss Fors Wall and Miss Hugh Deercha to join the Tarot Club."
"Why do I have to guide them? Can't you do it too?"
Audrey was very supportive of the Tarot Club's expansion, but she didn't understand why Evan, who was also a member of the Tarot Club, didn't do it, and instead asked her to do it.
"Because I don't want them to know that I am the 'power' of the Tarot Club, and it's most reasonable for them to discover the secrets of the Tarot Club unintentionally, guided by the 'audience.'"
"Why bring these two into the Tarot Club? Is there anything special about them?"
Audrey learned from some friends who had also joined MI9 that Evan had recently made a name for himself within MI9, and she believed that his selection of these two extraordinary individuals to join the Tarot Club had a deeper purpose.
Evan sighed and recounted how Fors had been cursed by the full moon, expressing his hope that Mr. Fool could protect her.
As for Hugh Deercha, Evan mysteriously mentioned that there might be a major case involving her that would attract Mr. Fool's attention.
Audrey hadn't expected that the seemingly carefree and nonchalant Fors had such a painful past, or that Hugh would be involved in a major case that would attract Mr. Fool's attention. She agreed to propose expanding the Tarot meeting at the next gathering, and inwardly sighed:
"Beneath Mr. Evan's nonchalant and carefree exterior lies a big and soft heart."
Evan pushed Fors to join the Tarot Club because he was afraid something unexpected would happen. He was afraid that Fors wouldn't be able to join the Tarot Club because of his intrusion, and that she wouldn't be able to make it through a certain full moon night.
As for pushing Hugh Deercha, it was because Evan wanted to accelerate her advancement. According to the information Evan had deciphered in his mind, Hugh Deercha's delayed entry into the Tarot Club was severely slowing down her advancement, which was not conducive to Evan's future plans.
