The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 188

A pointed nose, thin eyebrows, slightly moody cheeks, faint blue eyes. He was sure that he looked no different from the unconscious man.

After she trained some of the man's movements, she leaned over to drag the man off the ground and pushed him into the closet.

Then, he extended his right hand. With an audible sound, he broke the man's neck.

Qilangos took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands before closing the closet door.

He slowly walked back to the mirror, dressed in a black double-breasted suit, tied a bow tie, and raised a bottle of yellow cologne. He dripped a few drops on his wrist, then rubbed them onto himself.

Qilangos tidied his hair in front of the mirror, then walked out of the room. He clasped his hand and told his butler who was waiting outside, "Don't let anyone into my room; I keep something very important there."

"Yes, Baron!" The bald butler pressed his hand against his chest and bowed. "Your private train and waiter are waiting downstairs. Duke Negan's invitation card was there too."

Maintaining the baron's behavior, Qilangos nodded indiscriminately. He walked towards the stairs in an arrogant manner below accompanied by his butler head.

Heh, a debt-ridden baron, to the point of not wanting to hire an ordinary security guard, had actually maintained hiring a butler, a private male servant, two maids, two first-rate servants, two first-rate servants, four second-class servants, two laundry ladies workers, one carriage driver, one stablemaster, one gardener, one chef, and one sous chef. To these ignorant nobles, dignity is everything.. I even had to waste my time learning strange pronunciations and the so-called “noble slang language”.

…

Backlund, Cherwood Borough. In a certain narrow apartment.

Xio Derecha sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Fors Wall who was reading the novel with the light from the window.

"It's very disappointing. Qilangos left no clues. We still haven't found what he's trying to do in Backlund."

They have acted according to their original plan and filed a police report. Later, they secretly sent letters to the local police station and described the strange situation at the scene in detail. They also mentioned that the suspect could be Qilangos.

The police station responded as they had predicted. The police were very careful, and they handed the case directly to the Mandated Punishers.

After a day's time, the news that Rear Admiral Storm had slipped into Backlund was widespread among all "law enforcement teams." Xio and Fors also left the place they originally rented and hid to be investigated in secret.

They did not want to be taken back to the police station to assist in the official investigation. The Mandated Punishers, Nighthawks, and Machinery Hivemind are all hostile to the non-official Beyonders. The church views them as potential criminals.

Therefore, Xio and Fors not only avoided the possibility of pursuing Qilangos, but they also hid from the "law enforcement" authority".

"If we could find his destination easily, Qilangos would have been buried in the grave a long time ago, and his tombstone would have been covered in weeds," Fors replied casually. "We must wait patiently. As long as the authorities continued to hold this much interest in him, Qilangos would definitely make a mistake. I must say, I'm quite envious of a mystical object that can make a person change his appearance."

Xio hugged his knees and looked out the window.

"i'm just worried Qilangos will take immediate action and then escape the Backlund before anyone can respond.

“If that happens, I don't know when I can advance to Sequence 8, let alone Sequence 6 or Sequence 5..”

He paused and muttered as his mind daydreamed, "I don't know when I can take back the belongings of our family.It has been almost a year since I last saw my little brother…"

Fors gave him a calming smile.

"When you fulfill your wish, allow me to write your experience into a story. It's gonna be an interesting and exciting story."

"Hmm, I think Miss Audrey is very generous. Even if Qilangos escapes, I think he will still give us an expensive gift. After all, we've been busy ourselves for too long, and we even caused the Qilangos to appear."

"I hope so... Huh, why can't I meet by chance?" Xio grabbed his shoulder-length blonde hair.

Fors frowned and said, "In the world of Beyonder, coincidental encounters are usually accompanied by danger.I don't yet know what the rantings I heard during the full moon mean, or will it result in negative changes. Heh heh, a chance encounter without danger might exist, but it was very, very rare. It is difficult to fulfill your wishes, unless we receive help from an orthodox deity or attention from a friendly hidden existence. However, it would be difficult for us to know if it was really an evil god or an undercover demon."

Xio sat up straight and drew a red moon on his chest.

"May the Goddess take care of me!"

…

Duke Negan is at his home in Backlund, Empress Borough, where he hosts a large party.

There are two parts of the mansion. One is the dance hall located on the ground floor, which is covered with glamorous stone slabs carved with intricate patterns. There is a great ensemble of the duke playing music in the corner. Climbing the stairs, there was a winding corridor surrounding the hall located on the second floor. The guests held their glasses, leaning against the fence, facing the people dancing on the ground floor as if they were enjoying a fencing match from the stands. Sometimes, a man walks in front of a woman or his wife to invite them to dance. If the invitation was accepted, the two would walk down the stairs hand in hand and enter the hall.

At the end of the corridor, there was door by door. They are rooms that have been allocated to guests as their resting place.

But behind the French doors there is a corridor, and on both sides of the corridor there are various gypsum statues. They were all ancestors of the Negan family.

At the end of the corridor was another hall that could see the ball. The long table is covered with a variety of delicious food and quality wine, and the duke's other ensemble plays a relaxing melody for the guests.

After participating in the opening dance, Audrey Hall stood on the second floor above the dance hall and gazed at the candles on the large crystal lamp hanging on the roof in a daze. However, she noticed that many young men had appeared to pump themselves up to come and invite her to dance. So, he wisely left the place and went to the corridor connected to the dining room.

It's boring, but my presence is necessary.. Sigh, can't they let me observe in silence? I have to say, some people have rich facial expressions when they dance. They reminded me of the animal looking for a mate. Audrey lowered her head, looked at the tip of her foot, and walked straight out of boredom.

Just then, the corner of his eyes caught the approaching figure. She slowed down, stood up straight, and instantly became the graceful yet calm Miss Hall.

"Good day, Baron Gramir," greeted Audrey with a perfect smile and etiquette.

Baron Gramir has thin eyebrows and pale blue eyes. He smiled and bowed.

"It's good to see you again, Miss Hall. You are the brightest and most dazzling gemstone in this party."

After exchanging a few words, Baron Gramir headed for the dance hall while Audrey continued to approach the dining room.

After a few steps, he suddenly frowned. There was confusion in his green eyes.

Baron Gramir is not the same as before…

In the past, when he saw a beautiful woman or mistress who was of a higher rank than him, and who was relatively more beautiful, he would look to the side without seeing them directly. Then, he would steal glances constantly .. But today, he seemed very confident …

Also, the cologne smells. At many parties in the past, his body would emit the final tone of the scent of the Amber cologne, musky yet faint, not luxurious yet elegant. In other words, he would spray the cologne a few hours early to let the front and center tones spread before the meeting. But just now, his cologne was Amber in middle note, rich and smooth…

Audrey slowed her pace. As a Spectator who had fully digested the potion, his sensitivity to detail was not something that other Beyonders could compare with.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. His green crystal-clear eyes froze.

There's no way Qilangos is in disguise, right?

The Creeping Hunger has the power to change a person's appearance!

…

The more Audrey thought about it, the greater the possibility. He felt tense as he became nervous and panicked.

If he really was Hurricane Rear Admiral, what was he trying to do? Too bad I can't take Susie to the party. Otherwise, I can ask him to observe Baron Gramir.No way, I have to warn Father! Amidst her panicked thoughts, Audrey quickened her pace and entered the dining room. He found Count Hall talking to the Chief Cabinet Secretary and the others.

He smiled flawlessly and walked over. He held the Count Hall in his arms and told the others, "Gentlemen, do you mind if I borrow the Count Hall for a few minutes?"

"Beautiful girl, that's your right," the men said kindly.

Audrey held the Count Hall with her arms and moved to a nearby balcony. They found a quiet and uninhabited corner, and he said to his increasingly fat middle-aged father, "Dad, there's something I want to tell you."

Count Hall smiled fondly at his daughter, but he became serious when he saw her serious facial expression, "What's the matter?"

"I met Baron Gramir before, but there are things about him that are different from the past. For example, the cologne is in the Amber fragrance middle note. It used to be an end note. And.." Audrey went on with things she found different. It can be described as sensitive and meticulous.

After he explained what he noticed, he weighed his words and added, "i heard from Viscount Glaint that Rear Admiral Storm Qilangos has the ability to take on the appearance of others. Hasn't he been in Backlund recently?"

The Count Hall listened to him closely, and his face became extremely grim.

But she immediately smiled and comforted her anxious daughter.

"I'll take care of this. Go find your mother and stay with her. He's in the waiting room in this hall."

"okay." Audrey nodded obediently.

On his way back to the waiting room, he turned around and looked at his father. He saw that the Count Hall was talking to the other nobles softly, and he looked rather serious.

I don't want Audrey to feel anxious. He felt the need to do something to make sure that his father, mother, and brother were not hurt.

He scanned the area and changed the direction he was heading. He left the dining room and found Duke Negan's small prayer room.

He pushed the door shut and locked it behind him. He looked at the symbol of the Lord of Storms in front of him and subconsciously found a distant and dark corner.

Audrey sat with her body leaning forward. He clenched his hands together into a praying position and propped up his forehead.

Then, he recited softly in Hermes, "A Fool who does not belong to this era, you are a mysterious ruler above the gray fog; you are the King of Yellow and Black who has good luck."
