Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 344 Witch
There was silence above the gray fog.

Everyone was choked by Lu Ke's bold idea.

It was Lu Ke who broke the silence first. He smiled and shook his head. "Well, I'm just giving a suggestion to solve the bloated government system. It's a hypothesis. You don't have to react so strongly."

Mr. Emperor, your assumption is really scary.

Audrey plucked the lace on her skirt, feeling extremely complicated.

It feels like... like she said someone had a very difficult disease to cure, and the doctor told her that she would be fine as long as she died once and came back to life again.

"Of course, we all know this is just an assumption..."

Alger coughed twice in the awkward atmosphere. "After all, this matter is too grand and too difficult. Even the gods may not be able to do it."

"Indeed, whether the seven great gods would object is another matter. In this world, there are still many hidden beings that are second only to the gods, or even at the same level as the gods. There are even greater crises above them."

Lu Ke lowered his head in deep thought, his tone serious: "Even if the whole world is liberated, there is no way to guarantee that the laws promulgated by the emperor are perfect enough. The advantage of concentrating power in one person is that the laws issued can be well enforced, but if the pace is wrong, everyone will follow suit and make mistakes. Moreover, too much centralization and unification will stifle the diversity of the people and create spiritual barriers. This is also a difficulty..."

"Haha, if you think about it carefully, there are indeed many problems and difficulties. Victory in the war is just the beginning, and the follow-up arrangements are the key..."

Lu Ke laughed a few times, raised his head and looked around, his tone became frivolous, and he added as if he didn't care much.

"Well, don't take my words seriously, it's really just an assumption."

The gray fog fell into silence again.

Just assuming that it is necessary to think so far ahead? You don't really want to start a war, do you?

Recalling that the other party had chosen the "Emperor" card at the beginning, Alger and Audrey suddenly felt as if they were covered with ants. The former felt that this was not something that a small fry like him who had just been promoted to Sequence 7 could think of, while the latter wondered if she had said something wrong and started a very important topic.

Klein at the top also heard the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He felt that the more he talked about it, the more real it became. He had the illusion that Mr. "Emperor" really intended to declare war on the whole world.

At this moment, he felt a throbbing pain in his head. The meeting had lasted for quite some time and his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, so he raised his fingers and tapped twice.

"This party ends here."

"Do your will."

Alger and Audrey stood up and saluted at the same time, and Luke also waved his hand casually.

Klein leaned back and severed the mental connection. This time, the three phantoms disappeared at the same time, and Mr. "Emperor" did not linger.

It seems that there are still many secrets above the gray fog...

He opened his eyes and returned to his office from the bathroom with a tired look. Just as he sat down and was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, he suddenly found that Mrs. Orianna next to him was looking at him strangely.

Klein glanced around himself in confusion, but didn't find anything unusual. After pondering for a moment, he asked.

"Mrs. Orianna, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, it's okay."

Aureliana smiled and nodded, "I just want to ask if any of our outstanding graduates from Hoy University have a crush on a girl, and if you have ever thought about finding a beautiful lady to start a family with, and having two cute, well-behaved little angels who will kiss your cheeks when you come home tired."

Little angels? They are all little devils!

Klein spread his hands with a regretful look on his face. "It's a pity that there is no marriageable lady around me who is as beautiful, gentle, and charming as you."

"If you don't mind, I can arrange that for you."

Mrs. Orianna smiled and said, "I know some very good girls who would be a good match for you."

"I hope to consider these things after I have a job, become a full member, and my family's financial conditions improve."

Klein almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face after hearing this. He barely found a reason to politely refuse, and silently complained in his heart.

Why do I have to face pressure to get married after traveling to another world... Is this a common thing in the entire universe?
"Okay, then I won't force you, but remember to take care of your health."

Mrs. Orianna did not insist, but reminded her with a smile and a meaningful smile, "Don't stay in the bathroom for too long in the future, and... don't come out looking tired."

Klein was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

I'm not! I didn't! You're talking nonsense!
He was doing serious work in the bathroom!
……

Backlund, Queens.

Audrey Hall wore a light white long dress with a stand-up collar, high waist and leg-of-mutton sleeves. Her upper body was tightly tied and her waist was extremely thin, showing off her beautiful figure. She had delicate features and a fair face with the beauty of a young girl.

At this moment, Backlund's most dazzling gem loosened the clothes that bound her body, threw herself on the big bed without caring about her ladylike image, and turned her body in annoyance.

She was reflecting on what she had just said at the Tarot Club.

Since she didn't have any extraordinary people around her, she could only discuss trivial matters she heard from her father. She couldn't really discuss with Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Emperor how to faint elegantly in social situations to avoid socializing!
"I hope Mr. Emperor is really just assuming."

Audrey couldn't help but sigh. The big golden retriever next to her heard the noise and jumped onto the bed lightly. It rubbed its young master's slender legs that were full of youthfulness and tried to comfort her.

"Good Susie, you are the only one who can comfort me at this time."

Audrey hugged Susie and stroked her soft fur. She gradually relaxed. She recalled the formula of the "Audience" potion and pursed her lips.

"Perhaps, 'audience' can answer my questions."

The recipes that The Hanged Man mentioned are not particularly rare, and should be found in the family's treasure house...

Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Count Hall's voice sounded outside.

"Backlund's most dazzling gem, the time for the banquet is almost here. Are you ready?"

Audrey hurriedly took Susie down from the bed. It was against the rules to let pets get on the bed. Then she tightened the restraints around her waist to make herself look more slender and graceful. She adjusted the dress that was too tight for her, put on a perfect smile, and opened the door.

She showed some distress, "Dad, don't call me that. It's embarrassing."

Count Hall, who still had a handsome face when he was young but had gained weight, smiled and stretched out his right arm.

"Well, my little princess, if you don't hurry up, you will miss Duke Negan's party." "This is the second time Duke Negan has held a party this year, and it's not even September yet."

Audrey asked casually while holding her father's arm.

Earl Hall said calmly, "He is the representative of the Conservative Party who advocates the revision of the Poor Law. Before revising the bill and implementing it, he needs to find more partners. Not just this time, but perhaps one or two more banquets this year."

Audrey recalled Duke Negan's proposals. She never paid much attention to these things, but she had some vague impressions. It seemed that the regulations he advocated for amendment were all bills to protect the rights of grassroots workers and reduce taxes.

"It sounds like a good thing. I didn't expect that Duke Negan is such a kind gentleman who would speak up for the lower classes."

As if amused by his daughter's words, Earl Hall smiled and shook his head, "The revision of the Poor Law can indeed improve the lives of the lower-class people, but this does not mean that Duke Negan is a good person. Profits are the guiding principle of all actions..."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed for a moment, then relaxed. "My little princess seems to be very concerned about political affairs today. Has Alfred said anything to you recently?"

Audrey has two older brothers. The eldest son, Herbert Hall, will inherit the title of Earl Hall and most of the property. The second son, Alfred Hall, can only get a small part of the property. He is dissatisfied with the aristocratic inheritance system and goes out to explore the world, hoping to return home one day and win his father's favor.

As for Audrey herself, as a daughter, no matter how much Lord and Countess Hall doted on her, they would not leave her much property. She would get much less than Alfred. Therefore, she had a good relationship with her two brothers. After all, there was no competition between them.

On the contrary, the two brothers were at odds with each other and disliked each other. Earl Hall asked this because he was worried that his daughter would be dragged into the whirlpool by the second son, Alfred.

"How could that be? I always remember that dear Earl Hall taught me that politics is a vulgar game for men, and girls should not be poisoned by such things."

Audrey pouted and acted like a spoiled child, "It's all because Daddy talks about these topics with the guests all day long, and I'm just a little curious."

"Okay, okay, it's all Dad's fault."

Count Hall laughed helplessly twice and walked forward with Audrey, not noticing the girl's well-hidden confusion.

……

In a dark basement.

Alger slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the rituals that were set up around him to try to block the Tarot Club's invitation, and quietly cleaned them up.

As a "Substitute Punisher" trained by the Orthodox Church since childhood, although he has done some shameful things and committed some acts of betrayal, he also has a fear of unknown secret existence.

So after being invited by The Fool, he tried to escape, but these ritual props didn’t work at all, and he was still dragged into the meeting above the gray fog.

“Perhaps, this is also an opportunity.”

Recalling the "Acting Method" and the "Law of Extraordinary Aggregation", Alger's eyes became deep, and he was no longer particularly averse to the Tarot Club's affairs. If there were no special circumstances, he would be nothing more than a Sequence 6 "Wind-loving One" until his death, or at most a Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer".

But now, he saw the hope of pressing the door to divinity and becoming a powerful half-human, half-god.

……

No. 2 Daffodil Street.

Luke stretched and got up from the bed quickly. After thinking for a moment, he called Parrott.

Parrott, wearing an apron and preparing dinner, stood stiffly in front of Luke. He worked very hard these days, which earned him protection, shelter and food. His life was much better than when he was a gangster, and it even reminded him of his school days.

Luke asked briefly, "Do you know Mrs. Sharon?"

"Of course, Madam Sharon is the most famous socialite in Tingen City, and some of her scandals have even been reported in newspapers!"

Upon hearing this question, Parrot became a little excited and his face turned red, showing the yearning of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy for the beautiful opposite sex.

He asked tentatively, "Sir, are you interested in Mrs. Sharon?"

He felt that the gentleman might be disappointed. Although Mrs. Sharon was a socialite, not everyone could touch her, and she would only sleep with powerful people.

"I'm not Emperor Roselle."

Luke sneered. Starting from Sequence 7 "Witch" on the witch path, the person who takes the potion will become a woman with extraordinary beauty. The higher the sequence, the greater the charm.

Because of some taboo, the witch sect has extremely strict control over potions and does not allow witches who were originally female to exist. They frantically hunt down purely female witches, resulting in all existing witches being men who changed their gender.

Although the higher the sequence, the weaker the humanity and the less they care about gender, and the extraordinary characteristics of witches are transformation from the inside out, which is no different from real women, big figures such as Emperor Roselle, Alistair Tudor, Medici, etc. have become warriors who face men head-on, but Luke is definitely not included.

There are already enough abstract Lukes. There is no need to fuck men. If he really wants to taste the taste of a witch, he will choose to keep a pure woman himself.

"Do you think Madam Sharon is famous enough?"

“Quite large!”

Parrott answered with certainty, "Her pictures printed in newspapers are the enlightenment teachers of many people!"

I hope you're not in there...

Luke raised an eyebrow. This was a good opportunity to test whether "attention" and "audience" could be equated. The former meant that he could digest the potion by killing some celebrities, while the latter meant that his "murder magic" required an audience at the crime scene.

……

At night on Orsna Street, gas street lamps illuminate the flat road and the crimson moon hangs high in the sky.

Lu Ke, wearing casual clothes, was walking on a sparsely populated street. When no one was paying attention to him, his whole body began to change rapidly. His height decreased by a head, his body shape was slightly adjusted, and his facial features completely became that of another stranger.

After a moment, he stopped in front of the locked gate in front of Mrs. Sharon's mansion, stretched out his right hand and gently touched the sturdy iron door.

Two seconds later, the door lock popped open automatically, and the door opened silently as if to welcome the owner, without even a creaking sound.

Lu Ke walked in openly, without any maid or servant blocking his way.

As a "witch of joy" who believes in the evil god "Original Witch" and will be hunted down once discovered, Mrs. Sharon naturally cannot easily keep anyone in her mansion.

Lu Ke walked across the courtyard and followed the same procedure, and the door opened silently.

At this moment, he stopped and narrowed his eyes.

Before my eyes, transparent, crystal-clear, invisible filaments were crisscrossing throughout the room.
