Chapter 56: Clues to the Psychological Alchemists

On the outskirts of Queens, in a racetrack that occupies a large area but has no spectators.

Audrey Hall led a maroon filly, and purposely moved to a corner, pretending to discuss matters with Viscount Glaint.

She is wearing white trousers and knee-length black boots, and her upper body is a simple lady's shirt with a waist-tight black jacket-style rider's suit, coupled with a protective helmet of the same color, the whole person looks very dashing, different from usual and the golden retriever dog Susie squatted obediently at her feet, as if carrying a small leather bag.

Xio, who was disguised as Viscount Greint's attendant, glanced enviously at Audrey's long and straight legs, and unconsciously tiptoed.

"Pure equestrianism has no meaning. Only when it is combined with hunting can it have vitality. Of course, I am referring to male equestrianism. No matter what a beautiful lady rides a horse, she is a sight to behold." Grelint looked at it Audrey glanced at it, and said half with emotion and half jokingly.

Audrey smiled back and said:

"The next hunt is still many months away."

Every year from June to the New Year, the nobles of the Loen Kingdom will come to Backlund according to the tradition to participate in various banquets, dances and salons. This is a very important event for them, and many things will happen during these months. It was finalized internally, and with the passage of year after year, this tradition gradually had a fixed name, called "Becklund Social Season".

After the new year, the land nobles will return to their fiefs one after another, returning to their mansions and castles, country manors, and large plantations to spend a leisurely and beautiful time. In such a time, the most popular game is hunting.

Aristocrats will invite guests of similar status to enjoy the fun of running on horseback and chasing prey together. As long as their financial situation allows, they are always willing to buy hunting dogs.

The most famous of the hounds is the Foxhound.

"I already miss that kind of life very much. Backlund is a place that makes people feel restrained, and its air is unspeakably bad. Of course, I still like its prosperity and extravagance." Dai, Viscount Grelint Putting on the gloves, she took a step back, making it easier for Audrey to talk to Xio and Fors.

"Dear Miss Audrey, what is the purpose of your visit to us this time?" Xio looked back and asked proactively.

Her most recent income comes from Audrey, who is honest, trustworthy, generous, and a rare good employer.

I seem to smell the scent of banknote ink again... I hope it's not too difficult a task...Miss Audrey is perfect in everything,

The only downside is that every mission is surprising and very dangerous... Xio was looking forward to it and thinking anxiously, and couldn't help but glance at Forsi sideways, and found that the companion disguised as a maid was just looking at her. Own.

And the expressions reflected in the eyes of both sides are so similar.

Holding the gloves, Audrey smiled reservedly and gracefully:

"This time it's a simple commission."

While speaking, she signaled Xio and Forsi to open the small leather bag on Susie's body with her eyes.

Xio, who has always been known for his strong mobility, immediately took two steps forward, bent down and reached for his hands.

During this short period of time, she originally wanted to stroke Susie's head to show her kindness, but as soon as she stretched out her right palm, Susie had already turned her head and half-turned her body, and delivered the small leather bag to her. in front of.

I am usually very popular with animals... For example, mosquitoes... Hugh kept his expression unchanged, pulled the zipper, and took out a stack of papers from the small leather bag.

She stood up straight, opened it and found that it depicted a young man with an ordinary face, but the neatly combed hair, round glasses, and brown eyes with a mocking smile made her feel very familiar.

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

"Used name, Lanwusi, a wanted fraudster."

I know where I've seen him! Hugh suddenly came to his senses and almost made an indecent gesture of patting his forehead.

Before she met Audrey, one of her main sources of income was reading newspapers, researching arrest warrants, and using her connections in many gangsters in the Eastern District to find those criminals who were worth a lot of money.

I once thought about finding this Lanrus, his bounty was 100 pounds, and he stole more than 10,000 pounds in cash! However, he was busy with Miss Audrey's commission afterwards, and forgot about this matter... After Hugh and Forsi exchanged glances, they said frankly:

"How much is the entrusted amount?"

The entrusted amount? Audrey was taken aback.

She completely forgot about the payment, because in her opinion, this is Mister Fool's examination.

How can you give money to the other party instead of checking?

"Uh... 100 pounds?" Audrey gave a number after deliberation.

"Deal!" Xio and Forsi responded at the same time.

If Lanevus can be caught, not only can he get Miss Audrey's reward of 100 pounds, but he can also receive a reward of the same amount... What a good mission! Xio asked casually with bright eyes:

"Why are you looking for this scammer? He cheated you of your money?"

I don't even know who he is... It really was a simple entrustment, and the transaction was completed for 100 pounds... There is no need to talk to Mister Fool about this matter... It's only 100 pounds... Audrey smiled politely , ignoring Hugh's question and mentioning instead:

"I received news that he is in Backlund."

"Ah yes, there are more than a dozen portraits here, different portraits, I thought that Lanerus would definitely make a disguise, so I gave him a portrait without glasses, with a beard, and with a changed hairstyle, um... Guess portrait."

I am equally good at sketching and oil painting! Audrey raised her chin slightly.

Hugh suddenly forgot the doubts just now, and said in surprise:

"This is really very good news!"

She seemed to have seen the 200 pound bounty beckoning to her.

——The mysterious person I met at Mr. A's party before has not established contact with her, so she can only continue her great career of saving money.

Audrey nodded invisibly, and pondered:

"Is there any clue about the psychological alchemy association?"

Fors straightened her long curly hair, glanced at Viscount Glaint who was listening and said:

"I recently joined a new Extraordinary party. It is said that the potion formulas of 'spectators' and 'mind readers' appeared in it. I suspect that there are people from the Psychological Alchemist Association among the members of that party."

"Wait until the next meeting, I will apply and take you with me."

"Okay." Audrey deliberately did not hide her joy.

Just now, from the color of Xio and Forsi's aura, body movements, and subtle expressions, she read their true state of mind, thus judging their enthusiasm for the task, and they did not lie about the Psychology Alchemist Association.

Viscount Glaint muttered:

"Audrey's business is about to succeed, where is my 'pharmacist' formula?"

"There is really no clue for the time being. The 'Apothecary' path is more in the south, in the Fenepot Kingdom." Fors made a gesture of deep regret.

"Well, I'm still young, I'm only in my early 20s, I still have time to wait." Grelint replied humorously.

"Okay, thank you for your help, see you next time." Audrey saluted gracefully, put on her gloves, got on her horse, and walked along the runway.

Susie followed happily, as if she had found a way to play.

…………

Because he stayed up late to do the "experiment", Klein woke up at 9:34 on Tuesday morning.

He took a piece of bread and butter in his mouth, put on his coat and hat, hurried out of the gate, and wrote in the guest-book hanging by the bell-pull:

"Master is out, come back after five o'clock in the afternoon."

In fact, he didn't have anything to do, it was purely to guard against that old gentleman Miller Carter's sudden visit.

If the other party finds that the detective hired with a full 50 pounds is not busy looking for information, organizing manpower, and confirming the building layout, but leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers at home, they will definitely cancel the commission and no longer pay the final payment of 40 pounds!

I really have nothing to do, just wait for Miss Justice's information... Klein stood at the entrance of the street, looking at the haze in the sky, and said to himself helplessly.

He had already figured out where to spend his time today:

In the morning, I went to the Kragg Club to practice guns, read the newspaper, and have a free lunch by the way. I took a nap in the afternoon and exercised through squash and other sports. Paz knows more Beyonder gatherings.

Klein didn't intend to find Maric. Although the other party must have more than one circle of Beyonders, he was afraid that Miss Bodyguard also belonged to those circles.

It was inconvenient for him to sell potion formulas, which would arouse high suspicion.

Since the "True Creator" has given you the ability of divination and a strong body, will he also give you a potion formula that you can't use yourself? It's impossible to think about it! Klein made up his mind and boarded the public carriage to Hillston District.

After more than half an hour, he entered the Cragg Club and saw an acquaintance.

That was Talim Dumont, the equestrian teacher who recommended him to join the club, and a good friend of Mary Gale.

Talim, who was wearing a black wool overcoat and had short brown curly hair, greeted him. He looked Klein up and down, and said with a strange smile:

"Good morning, Mary and Doragu are negotiating a divorce."

Is this suspicious of my purpose in joining the club? Relying on the ability of "Joker", Klein easily made a surprised expression:

"Really? This is really surprising!"

Talim gave him a suspicious look, then suddenly smiled and said:

"A friend of mine is worrying about something recently. I want to know how your marksmanship and fighting skills are."

a commission? He only asked about marksmanship and fighting, and didn't mention reasoning. This is a commission involving violence... Klein smiled and said:

"I just plan to go to the shooting range to practice guns. You can follow along and take a look, but fighting requires the opponent to see the level."

"I have learned to fight." Talim replied eagerly.
