Two carriages slowly stopped at the door of 67 Williams Street.
The two maids, Liya and Anne, got off the carriage and waited not far from the previous carriage, chatting and laughing quietly; the two coachmen stood further away, closer to the latter carriage.
In the carriage, the conversation between Valeela and Audrey came to an end.
"I think what I like most is the 'audience'. I like the feeling of being an 'audience'."
After Audrey listened to Valila's information about the path, she quickly chose the "audience" path.
In order to prevent bias, Valeela deliberately omitted the "apprentice" path because she remembered Audrey once said that if she had been exposed to the "apprentice" earlier, she might not have chosen the "audience".
"Gee, you and I are really alike. I also like the 'audience' a lot."
Valila looked surprised and held Audrey's hand, "I also thought about becoming an 'audience'."
"I remember this recipe very clearly, but it's a pity that it took me a long time to find the ingredients."
"I'll recite it directly to you. You have to remember it clearly."
"'Audience', Sequence 9 potion, 80 ml pure water, add 5 drops of colchicum essence, add 13 grams of oxenia peony powder, add 7 elf flowers, add a pair of adult Manhar fish eyes, add 35 ml Snakehead blood.”
…
After spending some time, Audrey wrote down the recipe and repeated it correctly.
At this time, she remembered something and asked quickly:
"Valila, you told me the formula directly, what should I give you in exchange?"
Valeera smiled and said, "This is not urgent. Extraordinary materials are hard to find."
"We need at least 100 ml of 'Ghost Shark's Blood'. Please help us look for it. If we really can't find it, then we can trade it in gold pounds instead."
At this point, she squeezed Audrey's soft palm and made a little joke.
"You are Backlund's most dazzling gem. You will never owe money and not pay it back, right?"
Audrey has heard this compliment so many times that she has long been able to treat it with a normal heart and respond with a polite and sweet smile.
But beside Valeera, Audrey felt particularly relaxed. Before the smile on her face fully bloomed, she withdrew her palm, deliberately showing a somewhat distressed look, and said:
"Don't call me that."
"Okay, okay," Valeela covered her mouth and smiled, "Audrey is Audrey."
"It's time for me to get off the car and go home. After a while, can I invite you to my house as a guest? My first dance."
"You know, I just came to Backlund not long ago."
"Of course." Audrey agreed directly, her voice was clear and sweet.
"So, goodbye."
Valeela opened the front door of the carriage and helped her maid Liya out of the carriage.
When Valeela entered the courtyard gate, Audrey's carriage was already under the control of the driver and began to turn back.
…
Earl Hall, Queens.
The first thing Audrey did after returning home was to find pen and paper and write down the formula for the "audience" potion in her mind.
After thinking about it, she began to write the names of various chemicals around the potion formula, disguising the page as complicated and confusing scientific knowledge.
Well, as long as they don't consciously look carefully, casual readers will definitely not be able to find the details I hide... Awesome! Audrey praised herself and turned her thoughts to obtaining the materials:
"First search in several treasure houses of the family, and try to exchange the missing parts from other people..."
"Woof, woof!"
The sudden sound of a dog barking brought Audrey back from her thoughts.
She closed the note and turned around to see Susie, the big golden retriever dog, had entered the room at some point and was sitting at her feet, wagging its tail.
…
Six o'clock in the evening, Tingen.
In the corner of the Old Weir Restaurant on Zotland Street, members of the Blackthorn Security Company sat around a table, ten people in total.
Except for Old Neil, who was sent to Chanis Gate in the afternoon, and Fletcher, who was on duty at Chanis Gate, all of them were present, a total of five night watchers and five civilian staff.
This is Klein's welcome party for joining the team.
But because of Old Neil, everyone laughed a little reluctantly.
Dunn picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and said:
"Let us welcome our new official member, Crane Moretti, cheers!"
The cold and reserved black-haired lady Loya Ladin, the short and capable "Sleepless Man" Cornley White, the slovenly swinger Leonard Mitchell, and the white-haired black boy "Midnight Poet" Siga Teang, all raised their glasses and looked at their new teammates.
"Thanks."
Klein stood up, clinked glasses with each Nighthawk one by one, and drank all the champagne in the glasses.
The food on the table is rich, but no one is very willing to eat.
After sitting down, Klein put down his wine glass and asked Dunn:
"Captain, how is Old Neil's condition?"
"It's not the worst," Dunn smiled. "You discovered it in time and saved Old Neil."
"But to be on the safe side, he can only change his job to become an internal caretaker. He will have to stay behind Chanis' door for a long time in the future."
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Old Neil has many shortcomings. For example, he is stingy and stingy, wants to reimburse for everything, and often steals Dunn's Fillmore coffee beans... However, he is rarely really angry and has many advantages.
Everyone has a good impression of him.
Hearing that he didn't really lose control, everyone was happy for him, and the atmosphere of the celebration gradually became warmer.
…
Eight o'clock in the evening, Backlund.
Valeera was educating Habib in the study, when suddenly she felt inspired and sensed that someone was trying to contact her.
】
This is the first time Valeela has been actively contacted by someone since she gave away the communication ointment.
As a result, she discovered another shortcoming of "mirror call"——
There is no way to tell who the contact person is.
Fortunately, this has little impact on Valeela, because she has only sent out two communications ointments so far, one to Maric and Sharon, and the other to Xio and Forsi.
Valeera immediately stopped educating Habib, put down the general education textbook in her hand, and entered the large bathroom connected to the master bedroom.
She first cast a simple illusion on her body to ensure that the image of herself reflected in the mirror changed to her male self, and then cast a spell to connect the two mirrors.
The dim light rippled a few times, and a lady's figure appeared in the mirror.
Valeera's prediction was correct, it was indeed Forsi.
"Varina, something happened to Hugh."
As soon as the contact was established, Forsi spoke with some urgency, "She is imprisoned in the North District Prison."
"Can you still make that 'open door' charm? I have to save her."
Valila felt relieved, as expected, this is what happened...
"Don't worry, let's explain things clearly first," she said with relief, "Maybe we can come up with a better way."
