This also made Klein understand that maybe war is really coming soon. The Feysac Empire's temptations have appeared many times in Backlund, and the Loen military has repeatedly announced the arrest of spies from the Feysac Empire.

While faith in the God of Death is flourishing in the southern continent, the number of believers in the native Church of Evernight is declining. Consequently, the Church of the God of War is becoming increasingly restless.

As time progressed, summer gradually arrived in the Loen Empire, and the climate gradually became warmer. Soon, June arrived.

Dwayne Dantès looked at the gold-stamped invitation the servant had brought him, smiled slightly, and said elegantly to the servant in front of him:

"Please tell Earl Hall: I am deeply honored to be invited to Miss Hall's coming-of-age party."

I've been out for a day today and just finished typing...I'm very sorry for the late update.

Will probably update tomorrow or evening

Chapter 356 Miss Audrey’s Coming of Age Ceremony

After spending a month in Backlund, Dwayne Dantès's behavior had clearly become more like that of a traditional Loen gentleman.

Dwayne Dantès was wearing an exquisite suit. He had asked his butler Walter to find a tailor who specialized in making suits to make this suit when he received the invitation from Earl Hall a week ago.

During this week, many nobles and businessmen like Dwayne Dantes, in order to show their respect for Miss Hall's coming-of-age ceremony, used various methods to prepare to attend Miss Hall's birthday party in early June, in order to express their respect for the earl and their intention to cooperate.

Under the guidance of the royal family, those who sacrificed for their country were given a more prominent position than before. Coincidentally, Alfred Hall, the second son of the Hall family who opposed the war, was seriously injured during the campaign against the Intis Empire alongside the emperor, and has only now recovered to a normal mental and physical state.

This also makes Alfred himself appear more worthy of respect, and makes it very likely that the Hall family will have a more prominent status than before and be more valued by the emperor.

……

Hazel was wearing an exquisite evening dress. She gently held her mother's arm and followed her smiling father and mother into the gorgeous banquet hall.

She felt a little bored until she saw Dwayne Dantes and discovered that this mysterious demigod had also come to congratulate Miss Audrey on her birthday. Then she felt a little surprised.

This is a mysterious strong man like her teacher. Why would such a strong man come to attend the adult banquet of an ordinary noble lady?

Could it be that this young lady is actually a powerful extraordinary person?

Hazel felt a little interested, but she heard a voice not far away, which seemed to announce the arrival of a certain big shot.

"Welcome Grand Duke Abraham!"

Grand Duke Abraham...the rumored "emperor" who is invisible to the royal family, the executor who executes decrees on behalf of George III...one of the archbishops of the Church of Storms that the teacher said...

Seeing such a big shot with such a rich name and an extraordinary person with powerful strength appearing in front of her, Hazel couldn't help but feel a little excited, but at the same time a little worried.

I heard that every archbishop on duty in a church in such a big city has the terrifying strength of sequence four or even sequence three. So will the archbishop discover that he has extraordinary abilities?

Hazel pursed her lips and saw a young man wearing a black suit and a gold-rimmed monocle following the archbishop.

The young man waved gently to Hazel, his lips moved, as if he was saying something to Hazel. Hazel fell silent for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curved downwards in a subtle arc.

Why is the teacher here too...

On the other side of the banquet, Earl Hall had already met the young man wearing a monocle and Archbishop Gorvi Abraham of the Storm Church.

With a smile on his face, he extended his hand to the archbishop and shook his hand.

"Mr. Abraham, I feel extremely honored that you are willing to come to Audrey's birthday party."

Earl Hall walked up to Gao Wei Looker and said hello to him. Although Earl Hall is considered a representative of the new nobility, he also has the strength associated with the Church of the Night.

But facing this duke who holds the identity of both the Royal Duke and the Archbishop of the Church of Storms, the strength of the Hall family itself is nothing.

After all, among the rumors in Shijing, there is even such a rumor that is not very reliable. That is, His Majesty the Emperor has not appeared in front of the people very much recently, and now many government orders are issued by this Grand Duke.

Of course, this is not reliable, and no one dared to bring up this rumor at a formal banquet.

"...Who is this?"

After some pleasantries, Earl Hall looked at the young man wearing a monocle next to Gao Wei with some confusion. The high-dimensional overlooker just smiled softly:

"He is my deputy, a young man with great potential."

This of course refers to Director Amon, the deputy of the high school president. To the Outer Gods, Amon's existence was too short. To say that he was a young man, even gods whose ages were calculated in billions, felt that this was an exaggeration for Amon's age.

"Hello, Earl Hall."

Amon responded with elegant courtesy. He habitually tried to split out a "worm of time" and implant it into Earl Hall's body, but found that the "worm of time" in his body was completely imprisoned by something.

As expected, they won't give me a chance... Is this the Sequence One that possesses the Essence? It gives me the same sense of oppression that Sasriel gave me back then...

Amon thought in his heart and silently followed Gao Wei Looker towards the banquet.

After a moment, He poked the high-dimensional overlooker with his elbow:

"It's different from what I imagined. There are quite a few extraordinary people in this banquet. But speaking of it, how do you have the leisure and elegance to come to such a banquet?"

The high-dimensional overlooker chuckled:

"The protagonist of this banquet has been specially cared for by your father. She is a child with great potential, and she is burdened with quite a lot of destiny."

"Being idle is also idle. For me, there is no essential difference between staying in the university and attending a banquet outside."

Amon thought about the time he played hide-and-seek with those idle college students who wanted to study the occult, and smiled.

"really."

"But the quantity and quality of the Extraordinaries here are somewhat excessive. Did you really not do anything in them?"

"Am I doing anything?" Gao Wei looked down and asked:

"Why do you think I need to do anything? Having two Sequence Twos here can already create a very strong aggregation of extraordinary characteristics. I just blocked your power and your perception of the outside world - but I didn't block you. person."

Amon speculated for a moment and curled his lips:

"Too."

"But what are you going to do now? Can you find any fun here?"

Amon was a little curious for a moment, looking too full of humanity.

"Am I just like you, looking for fun every day? I'm just giving you a gift." The high-dimensional observer glanced at Amon with a look of deep sorrow and anguish: "A small gift for Audrey Hall..."

He dragged out the end of this sentence and continued to speak to Amon.

“Maybe I’ll see something that surprises me later.”

"I understand." Amon pushed up his monocle: "You hope to find greater fun in the future. If you plan for your own happiness as if you are seeking uniqueness, you are indeed much higher than me. "

"..." Although it is true that I am looking for fun... Gao Wei looked down and sighed:

"as long as you are happy."

After saying this to Amon, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he continued to say to him with a strange look:

"Of course, the gift isn't just for Audrey."

"What is that?" Amon raised his eyebrows, but got no answer.

In the palm of the high-dimensional overlooker, an invitation that had been dismantled into countless parts shone with a faint red light in the void that no one could see.

……

Audrey stood on the dance floor and had social conversations with other nobles. She knew that today she would not have any time for herself before the dance ended.

It’s really troublesome to socialize... The Loen Empire is in such a bad state now, why do the nobles of Backlund pay so much attention to their own dignity?

The current Loen Empire can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles. Outside, there is the Fusac Empire, which is watching covetously, and inside, there is its own emperor, George III, who doesn't know what conspiracy he is planning now.

Even now, the nobles of Backlund are still having fun every night, unwilling to lose even a little bit of their so-called dignity. And as a noble, Audrey understood that it was not that they were unaware of the horrific war that was about to happen, but that when they knew that a war might occur, they had already prepared the materials needed for the shelter, and even dug for shelter in private. Place.

In order to reduce their own losses, they even manipulated the prices of materials throughout Backlund. After purchasing large quantities of goods and stockpiling a large amount of materials, they even acquired more assets.

Among them was her father, Earl Hall. Audrey didn't understand why her father chose to do this under such circumstances.

Is family dignity really so important? Is it even more important than the lives of ordinary people?

——Don’t God’s teachings teach them to be good? Didn’t his father once tell him to be kind, gentle, and treat others well?

It was not that Audrey had never been close to the civilians in Backlund's second or even third-floor factory area as an ordinary person, but she did not feel any deep-rooted malice or stupidity from these civilians.

Audrey even felt that some of the commoners, after receiving a certain level of education—not even a very advanced education—would be able to surpass a considerable number of corrupt and foolish nobles in terms of cultivation and ability.

After understanding the history of this empire, Audrey understood why the nobles became like this.

They just plundered most of the country's wealth in the early days of the country's establishment and held all the resources in their own hands, so they were nobles.

They are nobles not because they are smart, but because they happen to be born into noble families.

A figure walked in front of him. Seeing the nobles around him automatically make way for him, Audrey Hall looked at the person walking towards him with some confusion.

Soon, she discovered that the visitor was the High-Dimensional Overlooker, that is, High-Dimensional Abraham, the Duke who had helped her many times.

"Hello, Duke Abraham." Audrey nodded slightly and greeted the high-dimensional person in front of her with impeccable social etiquette.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Hall. This is my birthday present for you."

While saying hello to Audrey, Gao Dimensional Overlooker took out a gift box from his arms. This box was made of pure gold and looked quite heavy.

Audrey Hall took the gift box, but found that this small box was unusually heavy - it seemed that it was not only made of pure gold, but there seemed to be something unusually heavy inside the gift box.

Even with the physical ability of "Bishop Rose", the flesh and blood under Audrey's skin squirmed, supporting her arms to hold the gift box steadily, so that she would not be rude due to the sudden weight. posture.

"Open it and take a look." Gao Dimensional Overlooker said gently to Audrey. Although the etiquette of the Loen Empire is not to open the gifts given at the banquet in front of others, Gao Dimensional Overlooker itself has the presence of With the highest title among all people, naturally no one would bother to trouble this duke.

Audrey held the gift box with one hand, her whole body muscles tensed, and she picked up the ring on the gift box with the other hand. She almost used her maximum strength to lift the lid of the gift box without deforming her movements. .

She took a look and found that the outer shell of the gift box was made of pure gold and was covered with a transparent film that seemed to have a metallic luster.

In the box, a transparent pendant that looks like jade or glass lies quietly in it, with a drop of black liquid quietly sealed there.

The surface of this drop of liquid reflects colorful luster, and sinks toward the bottom.

"what is this?"

Audrey asked, she had never seen such a black liquid.

The high-dimensional overlooker pressed his fingers on the pendant, which seemed to be made of glass. Layers of light blue light lit up on it, blocking Audrey's route from seeing the black liquid.

"This is called... oil."

The look on the face of the higher-dimensional being looking down at her was strange and complicated. Audrey could only vaguely discern a mixture of various strange expressions.

"This is one of my collections." Gao Wei Overlooker emphasized, "——It's just a collection."

"But if one day you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, just crush it."
