Chapter 140 Dancing in Chaos
The candles flickered on and off, the light and darkness kept changing, some people were screaming, some were hiding around, and the originally harmonious dance became chaotic and noisy.
Faced with this slightly chaotic situation, Hasta was calm and looked down at Audrey tonight.
The beige elegant long dress has a fluffy hem that sways gently. The jewelry on her delicate white neck and earlobes is mainly made of emeralds. Her blond hair is braided like flowers, hanging from her ears and draped over her shoulders.
Her figure is very slender, and her smooth forehead can touch her chin. Overall, she looks like a symbol of elegance and nobility.
This change of light and dark light adds a mysterious veil to her beauty.
There was no panic on her face at this moment, and her eyes showed curiosity.
For her, what happened tonight was also a rare experience.
Hearing Audrey's question, Hastur retracted his gaze, looked at the source of the wind blade, and said calmly: "Well, Qilingos took action, but it failed. Duke Negan was already on guard. They are all powerful extraordinary people, so he should want to escape."
Audrey also looked over, but she couldn't clearly see the extraordinary battle there. She could only see the chaotic crowd fleeing in all directions. She stared at it for a while and asked curiously: "What order of extraordinary is he?"
"It should be a Sequence 6 Beyonder, the Wind Blessed."
"Oh, then how dare he come to assassinate Duke Negan?"
"The glove on his hand should be a powerful extraordinary item."
Audrey's eyes flashed with shock. She had already learned this information from Mr. Hanged Man.
But what about Mr. Hastur?
He could roughly guess Qilingos' strength based on his own analysis alone.
If someone hadn't told him in advance, Mr. Hastur's occult knowledge would have been really terrifying.
Audrey thought for a moment and smiled: "Is this my first cooperation with Mr. Hastur?"
"Of course, Miss Audrey is the real focus of tonight's dance."
"What about Mr. Hastur?"
"I prefer to stand at a distance, not in the spotlight."
"Why?"
"Because I am not as flawless as Miss Audrey. Once I stand in the spotlight, I will easily show my shyness, and then have various shortcomings pointed out."
Audrey narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Hastur just said that he is not good at praising others."
"Because these words of praise are not against my heart."
If these words were said by other nobles, Audrey would feel very polite and hypocritical, but when said by Mr. Hastur, she felt very useful.
After all, it is easier for people to feel happy when a compliment comes from someone who is better than themselves.
"Unfortunately, tonight is still a bit of a fly in the ointment."
Hasta sighed slightly, causing Audrey to ask curiously: "Is there anything that's not perfect enough?"
"Tonight is the first dance I invited Miss Audrey to dance, but it was ruined by Qilingos before the dance was finished."
Audrey looked around, then looked at her hands still on Hasta's palms and shoulders, and chuckled: "Now, you can still dance."
Dancing in the dark chaos is an interesting experiment.
Hasta thought about where he left off just now, and Audrey had already guided him on how to dance next.
In terms of dancing, Hasta is a little better than the average person, and Audrey is much better than him.
On the other side, Qilingos looked at the extraordinary people gathering around him with a horrified face.
He had just started, and an ambush had been set up against him.
Obviously, his assassination operation has been exposed in advance!
He really couldn't imagine how he was discovered, but now, he had no time to think deeply.
Escape, escape from here, is what he should consider most at the moment.
The glove on his left hand squirmed slightly and was covered with a layer of dark golden fine scales, which stood up as his pupils became lighter.
An invisible ripple spread out in all directions with him as the center. Wherever it passed, a huge fear suddenly surged in the hearts of the gentlemen and ladies who could barely calm down.
They could no longer maintain their sanity and began to flee in all directions, screaming and yelling.
Many of them stumbled towards the encirclement where Qilingos was.
The Extraordinaries who surrounded Qilingos were worried about hurting these nobles, so they became hesitant to take action.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qilinges no longer hesitated. With hurricanes swirling around him, he ran towards the window, crashing through the bay window. With the help of the wind, he actually glided a long distance. Take this to leave the confines of Duke Negan's mansion.
As soon as his feet landed, Qilinges ran towards the woods not far away. As long as he entered the woods and blocked the pursuers a little, he could put some distance away.
Then you only need to change your appearance and blend into the crowd, and you can completely escape the pursuit!
After all, there are more than five million people living in Backlund. With the help of his crawling hunger, he is like a drop of water flowing into the sea, making it difficult to find him again.
This is also his biggest reliance to challenge this task!
After a while, a breeze blew through Duke Negan's mansion, and Ace Snake, the archbishop of the Backlund diocese of the Church of Storms, led several members of the Punishers to arrive.
Alger was also one of them. He was in a bad mood at the moment. From the broken window, it can be seen that Qilingos, who failed in the assassination, has already escaped!
"If it wasn't... a waste of time."
Alger glanced at the singer of God with his peripheral vision and clenched his fists slightly.
Obviously, as soon as he received the news of Miss Justice from Mr. Fool, he immediately told his boss.
But this efficiency was too low. It was not until the extraordinary fluctuations in Duke Negan's mansion that the singer of God was willing to believe his information and set off here.
But this delay allowed Qilingos to escape from here smoothly.
With Qilingos's character, he would probably guess that he was the one who told the secret, and the situation would be difficult to deal with at that time.
Qilingos must die in Backlund!
I don't know if Mr. Fool's followers will help.
Not far away, Hastur and Audrey also came from the edge to the vicinity.
The furious Duke Negan, the embarrassed Singer of God, the uncertain Alger...
Hasta saw the expressions of these people one by one, and then focused his eyes on Alger.
This Hanged Man, with his messy dark blue hair, deep and rough facial features, and bronze skin, you can tell at a glance that he is a person who has lived in the sea for many years.
But his face now is probably because he is upset because Qilingos escaped.
Hasta looked for a while, and then looked at the famous Pigeon of God.
He is indeed a very qualified Storm believer. After all, that existence is also nicknamed the Storm Pigeon.
He is obviously a Beyonder who controls the storm, but he is always a step behind in his work speed... In the end, he was transferred from the Backlund Diocese because of this. He is simply an old pigeon that has become a spirit.
Audrey came to Earl Hall and listened to Duke Negan's angry accusations. She felt a little proud.
She has only been a Beyonder for less than two months, and she can already influence the life and death of a duke in the Kingdom of Loen. Such progress is really too amazing.
I wonder if Mr. Hanged Man is satisfied with his ability to do things.
He should still be on the sea now, right?
Audrey looked around and finally landed on Alger.
After a careful look, her pupils slightly dilated, and then she deliberately stepped back a step to avoid being discovered by Alger, even though the distance was a bit far.
Then she continued to look at him with her peripheral vision, while constantly comparing the image of the man opposite with Mr. Hanged Man at the Tarot Club.
The more she looked, the more she felt that the man looked like Mr. Hanged Man!
They were both believers of the storm, had lived on the sea for a long time, and were also involved in the matter of Qilingos!
"Could it really be Mr. Hanged Man?"
Audrey became more and more suspicious, but she didn't dare to be sure.
Before she could observe for too long, the storm believer left with the others, probably to hunt down Qilingos.
Audrey didn't stay here for long. She glanced at Hasta, who was already standing far away, and thought to herself: "Mr. Hasta really doesn't like to stand in the spotlight."
She went up to the second floor and came to the room where her mother and other noble ladies were.
"My Audrey, where did you go just now? You are not injured in such a chaotic situation, right? Come, come here and let me see you."
"I am fine, and I am not affected by the chaotic situation just now."
After asking about her mother's well-being, Audrey put her mother at ease.
Originally, after she revealed the true face of Qilingos, she planned to come here to accompany her mother, but she met Mr. Hasta and accepted his invitation to dance.
So much so that her mother was worried. Now thinking about it seriously, her cheeks are a little hot.
After a while, Count Hall came to the door. Audrey found a reason to go out and came to the nearby balcony with Count Hall.
"Dad, is there anything?" Audrey's green eyes revealed the innocence of a girl.
Earl Hall smiled and said, "The matter has been resolved. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Well... did you tell others that Baron Gramiel was a fake?"
"Yes, besides me, the other person who knew about this was Baron Hasta Campbell." Audrey's eyes were bright. What she said was indeed true, and there was no lie at all.
