Chapter 173 Fors: It’s not me, it’s really not me
Fors looked a little strange.
Audrey, who was already a Sequence 8 mind reader, could see the slight change in Fors's expression at a glance. Based on her understanding of Fors, there was only one reason for this.
Fors knew more about the Star Believers than Hugh, who was talking freely. It was possible that she had come into contact with relevant information about the Star Believers, or perhaps she even knew the Star Believers.
In her little head, Audrey kept making associations, and the thought that Fors was a Star Believers flashed through her mind.
In the end, she thought that it was more likely that Fors knew some of the secrets of the Star Believers.
As if noticing Audrey's scrutiny, Fors immediately sat up straight and collected his mind, not letting Audrey see through his true thoughts.
Audrey felt a little pity, and she wanted to observe Fors more.
When she withdrew her gaze from Fors, she caught a glimpse of Mr. Hastur observing her with the same eyes he used to observe Fors.
"..."
Audrey also subconsciously collected her mind and did not let her emotions show.
But after doing all this, she was stunned again. Isn't this the same as the problematic Fors?
A feeling of guilt.
Audrey glanced at Hastur again with her peripheral vision, and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was amused by his reaction just now.
Who is the audience after all!
Audrey snorted in her heart, turned her head slightly, and avoided Hastur's sight.
"Star Believer, I have been hearing about him recently. Just one Star Believer has caused martial law in Backlund. This person is really not simple." Grallint said with emotion.
"Yes, the Star Believer is indeed not simple. Fortunately, he has not been caught yet, otherwise his fate would be miserable. Being burned at the stake is already a blessing."
Xio's pointed words made Fors even more nervous, and her cheeks were a little hot.
Listening to their words of flattering the Star Believer, she felt embarrassed.
She is just an apprentice of Sequence 9!
I really don't have the ability to stir up the changes in Backlund, and now the so-called star believer is a fake!
But she couldn't say these things openly, so she could only silently bear the blame.
It's really not her!
So wronged...
"I'm also curious about the identity of the star believer."
Audrey also joined the topic, and her eyes deliberately swept across Fors's face.
Fors's face was tense, pretending not to notice Audrey's gaze, which made Audrey feel a little disappointed.
"Stars, aren't there stars above our heads?"
Hastur's words aroused everyone's reverie, and they subconsciously looked up at the starry sky, and even Fors followed suit.
Audrey, who had heard similar words, first glanced at everyone before looking up at the sky.
After looking for a while, Greylint shuddered and said, "Everyone, let's not talk about this topic. There is always a feeling of being spied on."
It's not that you will be spied on. At this moment, all your actions are seen by the stars.
Hasta murmured in his heart and echoed: "Indeed, the stars overlook the world and are everywhere. We should not discuss such a terrifying existence. It would be bad if we attract the attention of the stars."
Fors also expressed his opinion: "We should be careful. The stars are too far away from us."
Audrey and Xio also tacitly revealed this matter.
After a moment of silence, Xio asked as usual who knew the formula of the sheriff's potion. He thought this was another fruitless gathering.
"I have the formula of the sheriff's potion."
Hasta spoke. His formula of the sheriff's potion was provided by Sharon and Maric.
Xio's eyes lit up and he said very simply: "How many gold pounds do you need?"
Having just received a huge sum of 500 gold pounds, her self-confidence was a little inflated.
"450 gold pounds." Hasta gave a relatively suitable price.
"Okay."
Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had just received 500 gold pounds from Miss Audrey, otherwise she would have to borrow money from Fors temporarily.
"Do you have a magic potion formula for the magician?"
Fors also wanted to try to see if there was anything to gain, but unfortunately, no one responded to her task.
Audrey originally wanted to ask if there was a magic potion formula for the psychologist, but Xiu and Fors obviously had no access to such useful information of Sequence 7. Grallint, who had been staying at home, could not count on it. Only Mr. Hasta might know.
After thinking about it, she decided to entrust Mr. Hasta to help find it privately.
After chatting freely for a while, Audrey stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she gave Hasta a hidden look.
After the party, Hasta did not take the carriage, but walked a distance in the direction Audrey left. Soon, he found a carriage parked on the side of the road, and Audrey's personal maid was waiting outside the carriage.
The personal maid looked alert, staring at Hasta, and then watched Hasta enter the carriage.
"Mr. Hasta, I'm sorry to meet you privately in this way."
"This is also a different experience for me."
Audrey smiled and said, "This Sunday, my father, Earl Hall, wants to invite you to his home. I wonder if Mr. Hasta has the time?"
"Is it because of the promotion of the title?"
"I don't know, he didn't tell me, he just asked me to invite you."
Hasta felt a little strange, but still agreed to go to the appointment.
He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to bribe Earl Hall, and now Earl Hall took the initiative to invite him, which was a great opportunity.
It was a pity that the hound entrusted to Greylint to train was too young and could not be used for the time being.
Audrey said a little embarrassedly: "In addition to this matter, there is another thing I want to ask Mr. Hastur for help."
"What is it?"
"I have successfully promoted to a Sequence 8 mind reader, but I don't have the potion formula of a Sequence 7 psychiatrist. Can Mr. Hastur help me keep an eye out for it?"
Hasta thought for a while and said: "The potion formula of a psychiatrist is generally only possessed by the Psychological Alchemy Society. This is a relatively young new organization. With your identity, as long as you show your interest in this area, they should take the initiative to send someone to invite you to join."
Audrey's eyes widened a little, "My identity, am I so valuable?"
"There is only one most dazzling pearl in Backlund."
Hasta joked, and Audrey pouted lightly, but soon flattened the corners of her mouth and asked curiously: "Does Mr. Hastur know much about the Psychological Alchemy Society?"
"I just heard about it."
Seeing that Audrey was curiously waiting for his next words, Hastur organized his words and spoke: "The original Psychological Alchemy Society was just a seminar for enthusiasts. They all believe that the mind has infinite power and infinite magic."
"Later, this seminar obtained a treasure map and found the relics left by Hermes, which laid the research foundation and direction of the Psychological Alchemy Society."
"The original members originally wanted to maintain the previous purely academic discussion status, but they always needed help when encountering problems. Therefore, the Psychological Alchemy Society gradually developed rules and regulations, and then transformed into a real secret organization."
Audrey listened carefully, and after Hasta finished speaking, she asked in confusion: "Just now, Mr. Hasta kept mentioning the initial psychological alchemy meeting. Is the current psychological alchemy meeting different from the beginning? "
Hasta said with a faint smile on his lips: "Any organization or country, no matter how good their original intentions are at the beginning, will always change slowly as time goes by and new members join. Psychological Alchemy Society Same thing."
"Is the current psychological alchemy bad?"
"They no longer have the purity they had at the beginning. The organization originally established for purely academic discussions has now been mixed with too many selfish desires."
Audrey was silent for a while, feeling that this was a pity.
For her, the original intention of establishing Psychological Alchemy was really attractive to her.
She likes this kind of pure academic exchange organization without too much selfishness.
Unfortunately, it has changed.
After feeling emotional, she quickly reacted.
Since the current Psychological Alchemy Society is no longer as pure as it was before and is full of selfishness, then she has no psychological burden to be an undercover agent for the Tarot Club in the Psychological Alchemy Society.
"Does Mr. Hasta think I should join the Psychological Alchemy Society?"
"This may be a very good start for your extraordinary career."
"Thank you Mr. Hasta for your advice."
Audrey expressed her gratitude to Hasta very sincerely.
After asking the business, the carriage fell into silence for a short time.
The more no one speaks, the more awkward the atmosphere is, and the more awkward it is, the less people want to speak.
Audrey glanced at Hasta, who was sitting opposite her, and when she was about to speak to break the awkward atmosphere, Hasta also opened his mouth to say something.
The two looked at each other, each of them was slightly stunned, then looked away, and a smile climbed onto their cheeks.
"Mr. Hasta doesn't seem to be used to communicating with people?"
"Miss Audrey is sometimes not as sociable as the rumors say."
"What kind of image do I have in the rumors?"
Audrey blinked, full of interest in this question.
Of course she knew how the outside world evaluated her, but she just wanted to hear what Mr. Hasta said, whether there would be any difference.
"Cough cough cough!"
Outside the carriage, there were a few undisguised coughs, which was her personal maid reminding them that they should end the chat.
Audrey felt a little pity, and could only watch Hasta lift the curtain and go away alone.
