The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 269

On the outskirts of Empress Borough, on a wide, empty horse track.

Audrey Hall deliberately brought a chestnut mare into a corner and pretended to discuss something with Viscount Glaint.

He wore white pants and knee-high black boots, decorated with a simple blouse and a black jacket that reached his waist. He was wearing a helmet of the same color. She looked extremely gallant and beautiful, and Susie, her golden retriever dog, obediently sat by her feet. What looked like a small leather bag hung on his back.

Disguised as Viscount Glaint's servant, Xio glanced enviously at Audrey's long and straight legs, and subconsciously tiptoed.

"Riding a horse is boring. Only when combined with hunting did it become full of life. Of course, I mean riding skills for men. No matter what the beautiful woman did, it would still be a beautiful sight to behold, '" Glaint judged Audrey and said half-jokingly.

Audrey replied with a slight smile, "The next hunt is still a few months away."

Every year, from June to New Year, the nobles of Loen Kingdom would come to Backlund to attend various banquets, dances, and salons, as per tradition. This is a very important event for them, and many things will be decided in a few months.

After the new year, the nobles will return to their dominions—castles, rural lands, and large estates—and spend their leisure time there. At such times, the most popular sport is hunting.

The nobles will invite guests of the same status to enjoy the pleasure of riding horses and chasing prey. As long as their financial situation allows, they are not stingy about buying dogs.

The most famous of the dogs is the foxhound.

"i've missed that life. Backlund is a place where people feel constrained, and the air is terrible. Of course, I still enjoy the luxury." Viscount Glaint put on his gloves and stepped back to make it easier for Audrey to talk to Xio and Fors.

"Dear Miss Audrey, why did you call us here this time?" Xio started the question as he retracted his gaze.

Audrey took most of her income recently. He is honest and generous, a good employer is rarely found.

I seem to smell the ink of money again. Hopefully the mission is not too difficult. Miss Audrey is perfect in every way, except one thing. Every mission is unexpected and extremely dangerous, Xio thought, feeling both anticipation and fear. He could not help but glance at Fors. He noticed that his friend, disguised as a waiter, was staring at him.

The expressions reflected in their eyes looked very similar.

Audrey held onto her glove, smiling calmly and elegantly before saying, "This time it's a simple request."

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes for Xio and Fors to open the leather bag on Susie.

Xio, who had always been known to be proactive, immediately took two steps forward and bowed to grab it with his hands.

During this short period of time, she originally wanted to pat Susie on the head to show that she did not mean to be evil. But as she stretched out her right palm, Susie had already turned her head, turning her body in half, putting a small leather bag in front of her.

I'm usually popular with animals. For example, mosquitoes. Xio keeps his expression unchanged as he unzips the bag and pulls out a stack of papers from Susie's leather pouch.

He stood up and looked at the pile of papers. He saw that it depicted a young man with an ordinary appearance, but his neatly combed hair, round glasses, and mocking brown eyes all seemed very familiar to him.

I must have seen it somewhere! Xio looked down and saw the corresponding description.

"The name that used to be used: Lanevus, the fugitive of the impostor."

I know where I've seen it before! Xio was suddenly enlightened and almost made an impolite slapping motion on his forehead.

Before he met Audrey, one of his main sources of income was flipping through newspapers, researching wanted posters, and using his connections in many gangs in the East Borough to find criminals worthy of big prizes.

I've been thinking of finding this Lanevus, who has a bounty of 100 pounds. In addition, he raked in over 10,000 pounds in cash! However, I was recently too busy with Miss Audrey's request and had forgotten about this matter ... Xio and Fors looked at each other and then asked honestly, "How much is this request worth?"

What's the demand value? Audrey was surprised for a moment.

He had completely forgotten the matter of payment, because from his point of view, it was a test from the Foolish Master.

When were the examinees ever given money?

"Eh ... 100 pounds?" Audrey deliberated and gave a number.

"Agreed!" Xio and Fors answered in unison.

If we can catch her, not only will we receive a hundred pounds from Miss Audrey, but we can also get the same amount from her reward! Xio asked casually, his eyes shining,

"Why are you looking for this con man? Did he cheat your money?"

I don't even know who he is. It's really a simple request. One hundred pounds is enough to complete the deal.There is no need to tell Mr. Fool about this. Just a hundred pounds. Audrey, with a polite smile, ignored Xio's question and instead mentioned, “I received word that she was in Backlund.

"Ah yes, there are about a dozen portraits here, different portraits.I take into account that Lanevus must be in disguise, so I give you a photo of him without glasses, with a beard, with a change of hairstyle. Uh ... drawings by presumption."

Xio immediately forgot his previous question and said with a pleasant surprise, "This is really good news!"

He felt as if he could already see the two hundred pound reward calling out to him.

The mysterious person he met at Mr. A's meeting has not been in contact with him. Therefore, all he could do was continue his business of making money.

Audrey nodded indistinctly. He muttered, "Do you have any clues about the problem of Psychological Alchemists?"

Fors adjusted his long curly hair, looked at Viscount Glaint who was listening on the side, and said, "i recently joined the meeting of the new Beyonder. Rumor has it that the formula of the Audience and Telepathy potion had previously appeared there.I suspect it was one of the members of the encounter was from the Alchemist Psychology.

"I'm going to propose to take you with me at the next meeting."

"Good." Audrey deliberately did not hide her excitement.

He had read their true state of mind from the colors, body language, and subtle expressions of Xio and Fors, to assess their enthusiasm towards the mission. Nor do they lie about Alchemist Psychology.

Viscount Glaint muttered, "Audrey's matter seems to be on the verge of success. Where's my formula, Audrey?"

"There really isn't a clue. The Pharmacist Path was mostly in the south, where the Feynapotter Kingdom was located." Fors gestured with deep regret.

"All right, I'm young. I was only in my early twenties. I still have time to wait," Glaint replied with a humorous tone.

"All right, thanks for your help. See you next time." Audrey bowed gracefully, wearing gloves, and mounted her horse as she descended the track.

Susie followed happily, as if she had found new entertainment.

…

As he spent the night "experimenting", it was already 9:34 Tuesday morning when Klein woke up.

Nibbling on a piece of butter-dyed bread, he put on his coat and hat, rushed out the door, and wrote in a message book hanging on the doorbell's string:

"His owner is out and will be back after five in the afternoon."

Actually, he doesn't have much work. It was purely in case of a surprise visit from Millet Carter.

If the other party finds out that the detective he hired for the full fifty pounds is not out and about, look for information or arrange people to confirm the layout of the structure, and instead at the tea house and reading the novel casually, he would definitely withdraw the commission and not pay the last forty pounds!

I really had nothing to do but wait for Miss Justice .. Klein's information to stand at the end of the road and look at the fog in the sky, while helplessly muttering to herself.

He had already decided last night where he would spend the day.

In the morning, I would practice shooting at the Quelaag Club, read the newspaper, enjoy a free lunch, take a nap in the afternoon, exercise through sports like squash. Once the Bravehearts Bar opens, I'll take the train there and see if I can learn more about the Beyonder meetings of the Kaspars.

Klein had no intention of looking for Maric. Although she was certain that she had more than one circle of Beyonders, she was afraid that Miss Guards would also be a part of that circle.

It would not be convenient for him to sell the formula of the potion, as it would raise a high level of suspicion.

Since the True Creator has given you the ability to divine and a powerful body, will he still give you a formula of potions that you do not need? It's impossible to just think about it! Klein fills the details with his imagination as he boards a public train bound for Hillston Borough.

Half an hour later, he entered the Quelaag Club and saw an acquaintance.

It was Talim Dumont, the equestrian teacher who recommended him to the club. She was a friend of Mary Gale.

Wearing a black wool coat, the brunettes Talim walked over. He assessed Klein and said with a strange smile, "Good morning. Mary and Doragu are getting a divorce."

Do you suspect the reason why I joined the club? Relying on the Clown ability, Klein easily made a surprised expression.

"really? That was really surprising!"

Talim gave her a suspicious look and suddenly laughed.

"I have a friend who's been having trouble with something recently. I wonder how good your shooting and fighting skills are."

A commission? He only asked about my shooting and fighting skills, not excuses. This was a request involving violence. Klein smiled and said, "I plan to head to the shooting range. You can see it, but fighting requires the opponent to see my standards."

"I've learned how to fight before" Talim replied excitedly.
