Chapter 207 Who saved Audrey?
The darkness dissipated, and the first light of dawn passed through the distant sky, dyeing the forest, along the window, through the curtains, and fell on the beautiful face of a girl on the bed.
The girl frowned slightly, perhaps because the dazzling sunlight disturbed her sweet dream. She pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, but she seemed to think that this was not very elegant, so she restrained the corners of her mouth and her eyelids trembled slightly.
After a while, she finally woke up. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to cover her eyes that were exposed to the sun with the back of her right hand.
"Audrey, my baby girl, you finally woke up!"
Earl Hall said happily, his voice was not as calm as usual, but slightly trembling.
Audrey smiled, looking at the nervous and excited Earl Hall, and said with a smile: "I just had a more interesting dream."
"I'm glad you're okay. If you really have any accidents, I don't know how to explain to your mother."
Seeing that Audrey had regained consciousness and looked and talked as usual, Earl Hall was really relieved.
Audrey chatted with Earl Hall for a few more words, and then she felt very hungry, and almost made an indecent gurgling sound.
She blinked gently and said, "Dear Earl Hall, I need to solve a very important problem."
"What problem?"
Earl Hall didn't understand the hidden meaning, and the personal maid came to Earl Hall and whispered a few words, and he smiled and left.
Then Earl Hall left the room, and the personal maid immediately sent someone to bring suitable food and nourishment.
In the lobby on the first floor of the manor, Earl Hall warmly shook the hand of Anthony Stevenson, the Archbishop of the Church of the Night, and said, "Thanks to the Archbishop for helping this time, otherwise my daughter Audrey would still be sleeping now."
"This is the blessing of the goddess."
Anthony Stevenson smiled and kept his words appropriate.
"Yes, everything is the blessing of the goddess."
Earl Hall suppressed his excitement and restrained his gratitude.
Yesterday, he sent two waves of people to seek help from the Goddess Church. He didn't expect that Archbishop Anthony Stevenson, who was in charge of the entire Backlund Diocese, would come in person.
And he cast a blessing for Audrey to get rid of the nightmare overnight. Sure enough, early this morning, his beloved daughter Audrey successfully woke up.
This deepened his faith in the goddess.
After a while, Audrey came down from upstairs, walking lightly and looking in a good mood.
"Where's Susie? Why haven't I seen her?"
Audrey originally wanted to ask Earl Hall about Mr. Hasta, but she heard from her personal maid that Earl Hall was very dissatisfied with Mr. Hasta for bringing him this unprovoked disaster.
She didn't mention Mr. Hasta, but indirectly asked about Mr. Hasta's situation through Susie's whereabouts.
"Susie was taken away by Baron Hasta Campbell, who said he was going to the forest to help you regain consciousness."
Earl Hall's tone clearly revealed dissatisfaction.
Before Audrey could ask any more questions, Earl Hall introduced Archbishop Anthony to her, saying that it was because of this powerful archbishop's action last night that she regained consciousness in the early morning of today.
Audrey remained skeptical about this. If her memory was correct, it was because of Mr. Hasta and Susie that she was able to escape from the misty dream last night.
But now, she couldn't say anything to doubt Archbishop Anthony, so she could only thank him sincerely.
After a few more pleasantries, Archbishop Anthony smiled and said, "All this is the blessing of the goddess."
"Yes."
Audrey nodded in agreement, but her mind flashed through the stars she saw when she climbed to the top of the tower in the misty dream.
Well, the moon symbolized by the goddess, and the stars revolving around the moon, should be equivalent to the blessing of the goddess, right?
She was just a little uncertain, but she didn't doubt her belief in the goddess.
She has always been very pious in believing in the goddess.
After a while, Hasta and Susie came late to the door.
Seeing Hasta, who was dressed neatly, Earl Hall's face darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded symbolically.
"Woof!"
Susie ran over as soon as she saw Audrey, and circled around Audrey many times, whimpering happily.
"Susie."
There were many guests here, and Audrey didn't squat, but just bent down slightly to touch Susie's head.
She was also very excited at the moment. In that misty dream, Susie led Mr. Hasta to rescue her and successfully guided her to the silver-white tower.
Whether it was her subconscious mind that guided her, or whether Susie and Hasta really helped her in her efforts last night, she needed to thank them for their help.
"Sit down, this is Archbishop Anthony, who is in charge of St. Samuel's Cathedral. It was he who brought the goddess' blessing and saved Audrey."
Earl Hall still gave Hasta a brief introduction.
This was when he saw that Hasta's clothes were not the same as yesterday, and his anger was slightly calmed down.
This proves that Hastur and Susie were indeed working hard to save Audrey last night. They were late today, so they must have gone back to the manor to wash up before rushing here.
"..."
Hasta's expression was a bit complicated, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you Archbishop Anthony for helping to solve Miss Audrey's problem. This is also to make up for my mistake of not taking care of Miss Audrey."
"Everything is blessed by the goddess. She always has mercy on every devout believer."
Archbishop Anthony did not take any credit at all. He just attributed all the credit to the blessing of the goddess.
Because when he came to treat Audrey last night, he only realized that Audrey's deep sleep should be related to the abnormality of the spiritual world. He just made a correct prayer and blessing.
As for Audrey's recovery today, it is indeed only the statement of the goddess' blessing that can explain it.
"You are Voltaire's son, it's really good. Now you do have some shadows of Voltaire when he was young. Of course, Voltaire is still a little behind you in terms of appearance."
After chatting for a few words, Archbishop Anthony also took the initiative to mention things about Voltaire.
This made Hasta and Earl Hall feel a little surprised that an archbishop who guarded the entire St. Samuel Church actually remembered Voltaire who had been dead for many years.
And from the tone, they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"This is the greatest wealth my parents left me." Hasta responded with a smile.
Archbishop Anthony nodded, said nothing more, and chatted with Earl Hall for a while, then he got up and left.
Earl Hall looked at Hasta and then at Audrey, and asked Audrey to take Susie upstairs first.
Other people were also dismissed, leaving only him and Hasta sitting face to face.
"Tell me about what you found with Susie last night."
"Last night, Susie and I went to the area where Miss Audrey encountered the fog before, and explored it. We did find something unusual."
"What's unusual?"
"It seems that there used to be a tall tower there."
Hasta only briefly introduced a few sentences, did not expand on this issue, and did not mention the issues related to the Mind Dragon.
"That's it?" Earl Hall said with displeasure.
"Well, I think this may be related to what happened to Miss Audrey."
"It's just a tall tower, and it doesn't exist now?"
"Yes, it should have weathered and decayed over the years."
Earl Hall was silent for a while, staring at Hasta and asked: "Do you think it was you who helped Audrey wake up or Archbishop Anthony?"
"This question should only be answered by Miss Audrey."
"It seems that you think you and Susie saved Audrey?"
"..."
Hasta really couldn't answer this question. He didn't dare to say that it was entirely his and Susie's credit, but at least he could take half of the credit, right?
At the last moment, he used the power of the Hall of Stars to help Audrey escape from that spiritual world.
Earl Hall's gloomy expression eased a lot, and he looked at Hasta with more satisfaction, "When will you return to the manor?"
"When the morning sun shines on the earth."
Earl Hall nodded, "No matter who saved Audrey, my only statement to the outside world is Archbishop Anthony."
Hasta just thought about it for a while and understood the meaning of Earl Hall's words.
First of all, many people must know that Earl Hall asked Archbishop Anthony to move. This credit must belong to Archbishop Anthony, and it belongs to the blessing of the goddess of night.
Secondly, it also means to protect his privacy.
Earl Hall must know that he is a little different from Archbishop Anthony through what happened last night, otherwise how dare he snatch the credit from Archbishop Anthony.
"I understand."
"You are still young, and there will be many opportunities for you to show your talents in the future."
Earl Hall is very satisfied with Hasta's attitude. People who know how to restrain their edge and not show off can go further.
Upstairs, Audrey finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Susie.
There were no outsiders present. Susie, who had been holding back a lot of words, couldn't help but say: "Audrey, I'm really worried about your safety!"
"I understand, Susie."
Audrey squatted down, hugged Susie's neck, stroked her head, and asked after a while: "Susie, did you and Mr. Hasta save me last night?"
