Audrey looked at her father and felt that he was very strange.

She took a deep breath:

"Then why have you taught me this since I was a kid?"

"Then why do you want to teach me to be like this again?"

"Do you think I can live in an ivory tower my whole life and not come into contact with these things?"

The golden light in Audrey's eyes gradually extinguished. Although she got the answer she wanted and knew that her father had no connection with the conspiracy mastermind behind the serial murderers, she couldn't be happy at all.

She gritted her teeth:

"I'm leaving."

"Come back!" Earl Hall shouted at Audrey. Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, he needed to protect his own dignity and that of the Hall family.

"Where do you want to go? You are from the Hall family!"

He reached out to grab his daughter's shoulders. He felt very strange about himself just now, and suddenly felt that if he didn't do this, he would probably lose his daughter.

However, what he felt was not the sensation of pressing his shoulder, but a sticky touch.

He saw Audrey look at him with the same extremely unfamiliar expression, and sighed longly:

"I'm sorry... Dad."

Then she left him without looking back.

……

Earl Hall stretched out his hand, but finally put it down feebly.

He sat here for a long time and didn't see Audrey come back until night.

Facing his wife's question at the dinner table, he gritted his teeth. said:

"Audrey goes to church."

He smiled bitterly while listening to his wife's complaints and worries - he wished his daughter was actually in the church now.

Why would I say that? Earl Hall was puzzled.

-

Klein frowned and looked at a spiritual messenger who suddenly appeared next to him. This messenger had a strong aura of the Church of the Night.

"...Miss Justice ran away from home?"

After reading the letter, Klein muttered to himself in disbelief.

Note 1: Adapted from real party concepts and lines from a certain movie

Chapter 359: Gods will last forever, justice will last forever

"How could this happen? What happened in the middle? Why did the conflict in the Hall family suddenly intensify to such an extent that Miss Audrey fell out with Earl Hall and even ran away from home? "

After Klein received the news delivered to him by the messenger, he who had just wanted to fall asleep suddenly became more awake. He murmured a few words to himself, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. .

Running away from home... In the current view of Klein, such a thing does not seem to have much to do with Miss Audrey. Moreover, she had just been arranged to go to the Church of the Night to be a temporary bishop, which was also approved by Earl Hall. Thing...

Could it be that some additional changes occurred?

After a brief moment of thought, Klein gently wiped his face, transforming himself into Gehrman Sparrow. To prevent anyone from seeing him and spreading rumors throughout Backlund that Dwayne Dantès had seduced the daughter of the Hall family, he decided to use "Wander" to rush to Audrey.

No matter what, it’s better to find Miss Justice now and ask her what happened. Otherwise, who knows what will happen after this?

There are now an unexpected number of "devils" and "witches" in Backlund! And there are too many doubts about the falling out between Audrey and her father!

Maybe, someone wants to "kill someone with a borrowed knife"...

Klein waved his hand, and with the help of the contract he signed before, he activated the "roaming" ability of the golden giant hand lent to him before, and quickly disappeared under the shroud of starlight.

……

Half an hour before Klein received the message from the messenger, a figure slowly walked towards the monastery under the setting sun, with a heavy expression.

After a long time, Audrey stopped, her eyes immersed in thinking.

After leaving her home and away from her father who was like an angry lion, Audrey slowly calmed down and used her experience as an "audience" to slowly sort out her emotions.

I seemed a little too impulsive just now. Besides, the ability of a "psychologist" shouldn't have taken effect so quickly. No, it wasn't me who was "guiding" my father just now...

Audrey instinctively wanted to think, but suddenly remembered what Mr. Fool had said to her and the Tarot Club members before about a certain "Angel King". She quickly began to recite Mr. Fool's honorific name:

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray mist..."

Audrey wanted to pray for the protection of the angels under the seat of "The Fool". The "Fool" had told them in the Tarot meeting before that they should never think about things related to "Adam" in the outside world!

As soon as he read out two sentences of the honorable name Audrey, the monocle hanging on his body lit up, but his whole body seemed to be stuck, and he was in a trance, unable to say the last sentence for a long time.

A young man with a broad forehead and a thin face, wearing a monocle, walked out from the woods in the distance with a tiny smile on his face.

On his shoulders and at his feet rested many small creatures like rabbits and squirrels. They all had one thing in common: a circle of black or white hair next to their eyes, as if to tell others that they were all incarnations of Amon.

His lips moved slightly, and then he connected with Audrey's last words:

"...the yellow and black king who controls good luck."

He twisted his wrist slightly, as if he was eager to try. But the next moment, his side turned into colors like oil paintings, and a pale arm like a plaster sculpture stuck out from the air, stained with some bright oil paints.

"You will be brought to justice immediately!"

The arm protruding from the paint grabbed Amon's shoulder, and the other hand, with the help of the previous partner, covered Amon's mouth, preventing him from saying the second half of the sentence. Amon only had time He waved his arm and was dragged into a field of oil paint.

He waved his hands weakly in the air twice, looking extremely miserable.

"——Still unwilling to give up. Also, if the 'Son of the Creator' simply gave up on his idea of ​​becoming the Lord of Mysteries, then he would no longer be Amon."

The high-dimensional Overlooker clenched his fist and let a piece of oil paint flow from his palm. He grinned, revealing the blood vessels shining with white light.

There seems to be no normal flesh and blood structure inside his body, replaced by the same white substance as the crystalline blood vessels around his body.

"The time is coming, there is not much time left." There was some ecstasy in the tone of the Gao Wei Overlooker. He restrained himself and said again as if he was speaking in a drama:

"It's not just the stage in Trier. Backlund will soon be one of the centerpieces of the stage as well. Alistair Tudor, I'm looking forward to whether you can break through your own destiny."

——The fate anchored by the "ring of fate".

——The fate anchored by the "script".

Audrey Hall, who was still unaware of what had just happened, stood outside the monastery of the Church of Night, feeling the gradually setting sun and letting the night swallow her.

Audrey was slightly disappointed that she failed to get a response from Mr. Fool, but she could only temporarily stop thinking about things related to her father and do the next step first.

After a long period of hesitation and wandering, she finally came to the Church of the Night - she couldn't think of any other good place for her to go.

She didn't want to go home because she felt that there was a terrible disconnect between her parents' ideals and her own imagination - her mother loved her, but Audrey felt that her mother would have the same ideas as her father; she didn't now I know where I can go, but I don’t know where I should go.

In other words, Audrey is at a loss now and has no idea what she should do.

"It seems like everything has happened in a very sharp way. It's possible that someone is really behind this, not necessarily the 'audience'..."

Audrey said to herself, she thought about it. I feel that if I had discussed this issue with my father later, I would probably have a completely different situation and solution now.

Since her father had approved of her joining the Church of Evernight, he had naturally made the necessary preparations. Although his words had been sincere, Audrey felt that mindsets could be changed.

A certain divine envoy from the Church of the Creator—at least a certain divine envoy from before—had privately contacted Audrey many times, trying to persuade Audrey to convert to the True Creator.

Although Audrey politely declined the invitation from this fanatical believer, she still carefully read the various core books of the Creator's Church, including the Creator's Church's scriptures and some books for believers to read.

The author of the book sings of a kind of society in which "everyone is equal" under the leadership of God. In that kind of society, there are no more princes and nobility, only the difference between work and work. Everyone believes in the gods devoutly, and there will not be too much fighting between the gods.

For Audrey, who understands the nature of the relationship between man and God, she clearly knows:

In the final analysis, such a society is the trend of thought where gods anchor the society, and humans provide anchors to the gods. If it is not a particularly close person or a powerful extraordinary person, then the effect of the anchor provided by each believer to the abstract symbols of the gods is It's not big. Under such circumstances, there is no need to support the nobles to rule the common people.

But this requires that each country only has one god who controls the entire society and maintains all political orders. As long as the gods do not die, the ideologies of all citizens will not be contaminated by the invasion of enemy countries; as long as the gods last forever, the priests responsible for judging must follow the will of the gods and uphold justice.

Life after life, thousands of generations.

——As long as the gods last forever.

What surprised Audrey was not only that the Church of the Creator was proposing this kind of fantasy, but also that this kind of reform had occurred in the internal ceremonies of the Church of Night. So she secretly collected some of the promotional brochures of various churches that were circulating outside, and found that only "knowledge" The "Church", "Church of Dark Night" and "Church of the Creator" put forward this idea.

Audrey guessed that this might be some kind of covenant between gods, but she didn't understand why the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", who was on a neighboring path to the true Creator, would also sign the same covenant with the Creator and the Goddess.

——Could it be said that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the True Creator are not in a completely hostile relationship?

Audrey was puzzled and shook her head silently.

In any case, Audrey did not think it was right to exploit ordinary people with the wealth she possessed. Perhaps in the eyes of the nobles, such things were indeed very common, but she felt that this should never happen.

I don’t know what everyone at the Tarot Club thinks... Audrey shook her head. She could only think about whether her father would also let go of his noble status if all the nobles lost their noble status. Decent. Ushering in changes to the empire?

I really wish I could live in such an era... Audrey clasped her hands together and placed them lightly on her chest.

After a while, she quietly walked into her own office in the church's monastery, took off her clothes one by one, and changed into a church nun's uniform.

Such clothes help her hide herself in the dark, and can cover up her appearance very well, preventing little nobles who may appear late at night from discovering her true appearance.

She has no intention of doing anything like "giving up her property" to preserve herself and satisfy her reputation. Only with sufficient strength can she promote the protection of civilian rights.

Audrey felt a little ashamed when she thought of this. She had been so busy with the extraordinary events in Backlund in the past few days that she had not put her own ideals into practice.

"Perhaps, I can seek help from some friends... Now it is unlikely that I will get the support of my father... It is very likely that my father will need to take a stand, and the person who caused the conflict between me and my father may continue to Guide my father..."

Audrey muttered to herself as she carefully tied up her hair, hiding the golden-shining hair in her dark uniform, and then quietly left the room.

After a brief period of confusion, she was still going to go to the church's Nighthawks base to ask them about the investigation and serial murders.

She planned to start her investigation from here, hoping to find out what happened to her father. If the other party wanted to stir up internal strife within the Hall family, then it meant that they had some interests in this matter. Even if it was small, it would bring them one step closer to the truth.

"My father taught me to be kind to others... Whew." Audrey sighed.

"In his eyes, although he is willing to have some sympathy for ordinary people who other nobles think are not in the same class as himself, family members are greater than ordinary people, and the honor of the Hall family is greater than all of us. Man is even greater than himself..."

"So where did those traces of depravity I saw in my father come from? And what were the standards?" Audrey muttered to herself.

"After losing the bonus of potions on learning psychological knowledge, my grasp of this aspect is much worse. I still can't rely too much on potions, otherwise it will be like this..."

Audrey walked forward while examining herself according to her previous habit.

There is a long distance between the gathering place of the Nighthawks and the monastery that Audrey currently manages. Audrey originally wanted to subconsciously get on the carriage, but then realized that she was pretending to be a nun.
