Chapter 289: Unexpected Discovery
"Truly powerful..." After participating in the Tarot Club, Audrey Hall felt a sense of admiration for the strength of the Witch who had easily escaped the encirclement of the Church and the Aurora Order.
Such power could probably protect Father and Mother well...
However, she soon had no time to think about these things; she needed to attend a noble banquet held by the Augustus Family at a manor in the suburbs of Backlund that evening, and she needed to start preparing from the afternoon.
"Come and change me into my evening gown." Audrey Hall dressed up in her finery to attend the Royal Family banquet.
Audrey Hall did not like such banquets, especially after several princes had privately expressed their intentions to pursue her, but as a noble, she also needed to consider the face of the Hall Family.
"Miss Audrey, you are truly the most dazzling gem in Backlund." Audrey had already grown tired of such praise, but she had to maintain the most perfect social smile to respond.
After some interaction with several princes, Audrey finally broke away from the center of the banquet, entered the "Spectator" state in a corner, and observed the people at the banquet, digging for useful information.
"I always feel that the competition among the princes is becoming increasingly intense..."
"The outfits of these noble young ladies all have a subtle sense of temptation, and the gazes of the princes are not very gentlemanly either..."
"And this young lady, why haven't I seen her before? The person beside her is... Mr. Herwin Rambis, a consultant for the Augustus Family..."
Audrey soon discovered something interesting, "This young lady is more seductive than the other noble young ladies; even I feel that she is very cute, full of feminine charm..."
Audrey's thoughts suddenly stalled, and then this most standard lady's small mouth opened slightly, even forgetting to hide her loss of composure.
But it was only a matter of two seconds before this "Spectator" young lady reacted, controlled her expression, and turned her head away without leaving a trace.
Then she relaxed her pace and left the venue easily.
"That girl..." The girl whom Audrey had been observing for a while turned her head, looked at Audrey's back, and frowned slightly.
"That is a candidate being evaluated by our Psychology Alchemists; she may become one of us in the future," Herwin Rambis said easily.
He had brought Trissy to this Royal Family banquet mainly to show his own power and to reach a certain agreement with the Royal Family, eliminating the Royal Family's hostility toward Trissy.
The Royal Family was the party with the weakest ill will toward Trissy, and helping her resolve the Royal Family's malice toward her was the sincerity of the Psychology Alchemists.
"Mm." Trissy nodded lightly, looking around with an elegant posture.
By this time, Audrey had already returned to the lounge, and only after confirming that no one was watching her did she reveal her true worry.
"That is Trissy? A very powerful evil cult Beyonder?!" Audrey recalled the words of Mr. World and was extremely wary of this Witch.
"Why is she here?!" Audrey panicked, but she quickly adjusted, and then she began to pray to the Fool.
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era..."
"I have discovered Trissy's tracks... I request that you convey this news to Mr. World, and I hope Mr. World can give me some advice..."
Klein, who was in his office, heard the sound of prayer in a trance, "A female voice? Miss Justice or Miss Magician?"
Klein walked to the washroom, then performed the Reverse Four Steps to arrive Above the Gray Fog, reaching out toward the ball of light representing Miss Justice.
Amidst the permeating Gray Fog, a young lady dressed in finery was praying devoutly, but the young lady's words left even Mr. Fool greatly shocked.
"Trissy is at the Royal Family banquet?!" Klein gasped.
"Isn't the Royal Family's MI9 also tracking Trissy? Why did she deliver herself to them?" Klein frowned, intuitively feeling that there was very important information within.
"I have always thought that MI9, like the Church, was trying to prevent Trissy from causing a greater Disaster to Backlund, but what if that's not the case?!"
Klein's spirituality provided a corresponding revelation, but such a guess was too shocking.
That might mean the biggest protective umbrella for the evil cults in Backlund was actually the Augustus Family!
"But why? And why would Trissy dare to appear before the Royal Family?"
Various questions occupied Klein's mind, and then he decided to pour in more spirituality, expanding his range of observation around Miss Justice.
And then he saw Trissy very easily!
She was also dressed in finery, the luxurious blue dress making her appear even more noble, and the Sapphire Ring in her hand made the match even more extravagant.
Her face had a beauty that combined charm and purity, and many guests were looking at this lady in a not-very-polite manner.
"Someone like her would definitely be seen by the Royal Family's guards, but no one is arresting her; perhaps she has already reached an agreement with the Loen Royal Family." Klein believed his judgment even more.
"That person..." Klein also saw Herwin Rambis, and his spirituality naturally judged that this was a Beyonder.
"He might even be a Demigod!"
What could be done about this? Of course, report it!
Klein manifested Mr. World, letting him pray to state his advice.
"... I suggest you report it to the Evernight Church, specifically mentioning the powerful Sealed Artifact and the Demigod companion. Of course, when reporting, be careful to hide your identity."
Klein threw the scene of Mr. World's prayer to Miss Justice.
"Yes!" Audrey received Mr. World's advice and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool and Mr. World.
"From the perspective of hiding my identity, I shouldn't take the initiative to report it; I need to go through an intermediary, then I can go find Mother!"
Audrey made a decision and found the Countess who was also attending this banquet.
"Mother! I have something I need to discuss with you!" Audrey quickly explained the situation, the reason being that she had once seen a wanted poster for Trissy at a mysterious gathering.
"Mother, we had better notify the Church; Trissy is also a key wanted person for the Church."
"Good!" The Countess agreed directly; don't forget that Duke Negan had been assassinated by a believer of an evil cult at a banquet she had held!
The Countess found the guards hidden in the shadows without leaving a trace and had the guards send an emergency telegram to the Evernight Church.
On the other side, Klein notified the Aurora Order at the fastest speed, letting Mr. A and Beierte prepare; this might be a good opportunity to hunt Trissy!
It was just that, at this very same time, the underground altar in the suburbs of Backlund had already been set up.
