Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

908

Hvin Rambis went to the bathroom for a while. When he came out, he found that the people in the banquet hall were still having a heated discussion.

The content of the discussion was still the same social issue that I had deliberately led and expressed my radical views on. ——If you want to arouse more responses and discussions, you only need to make very extreme remarks. In this way, some people will approve of you, some people will oppose you, and some neutral people will not speak at all, but they will also speak out to dissuade you because of these fierce opinions.

This way, almost everyone can participate.

"I think there has to be a movement control order."

"I also feel that we cannot allow those people to walk around on the streets, which will threaten the personal safety of our citizens."

"Well, I don't think it's necessary to be so serious. In fact, most of them are very friendly. After all, they are farmers who only know how to farm. As long as they can have enough food and clothing in Loen, they will be satisfied. This is actually a propaganda for us. good chance."

"Having said that, the current call is to restrict travel, and I think the church should consider this matter."

…

He watched the heated conversation among those people from a distance. This topic had grown from just three or five people at the beginning to a debate involving more than ten or twenty people. Their voices became louder and louder, and almost everyone in the room was talking. Or pay less attention to this corner.

Of course, Hvin Rambis was not prepared to rejoin the conversation. After looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, he raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

When a relatively equal and free discussion develops into a debate with a clear position and purpose, people's focus is no longer on listening to different ideas and comparing their own ideas, but on racking their brains to output their own opinions and let others recognize their words. .

In this way, the contradictions and prejudices that already existed in everyone's hearts were deepening through constant communication, just as he hoped.

He was not surprised by this, for it was as effective as every hint and guidance he had given over the years.

People's concepts and ideas are inherently fragile and will change due to many external reasons. He just added a little force to it - of course, seeing these self-righteous smart people, such as earls and marquises, As a famous and influential nobleman, Hvin Rambis will still have a sense of accomplishment and pleasure because of his desired angry, radical and conservative reactions due to his few words.

He enjoys this feeling, the feeling of controlling other people's hearts and minds.

He was in a very good mood. He looked back at the small audience member from Feneport and found that the other person was no longer looking for anyone to chat with. Instead, he was holding a plate of food and dining at the table against the wall, under the service of the maid.

Smart move. Hwin laughed, turned around and walked towards the smoking room, ready to kill some time before the banquet ended.

…

"He just looked at us again." Susie concentrated on eating the beef on the plate, her lips moving slightly.

"He has left." Audrey replied, "We can talk in a lower voice, Susie, and you should eat less... No, forget it, you don't need to eat less. This can just shape your image. You just need to Just continue to maintain your manners."

"Oh." After hearing Audrey's words, Susie picked up the fork she had just put down.

After possessing human taste, Susie immediately fell in love with these foods that she could not eat originally, and was particularly enthusiastic about chocolates and candies that she could not eat originally.

She took a sip of juice, rolled up a spicy Fenebout with an extra noodle on her fork, cut another piece of beef ribs with black pepper sauce and put it elegantly into her mouth - as a lady, She ate very elegantly, and the two empty plates in front of her were also shocking - but Susie was eating happily, as if she didn't notice the whispers of the young nobles who were secretly observing her.

"Can you bring me some more cake?" she asked Audrey.

Audrey's expression was a little subtle:

"...Theoretically not possible, Susie, you have eaten a lot. Noble women must strictly control the sugar content of the food they consume every day. You should know that I can only have afternoon tea and lunch once a day. Dessert?"

"What about actually? Can I eat it?"

Susie looked at Audrey with wide eyes, trying her best to look more innocent, and Audrey couldn't help but think of the other person's true appearance:

"Audrey, the reason why others can't eat is because I want to control my body shape, but my current body is an extraordinary prop! And my purpose is not really to socialize with anyone, and it seems that no one is willing to make friends with me at the moment. , since my figure will not be out of shape and I am not worried about being embarrassed, then you can give me another piece. Just take one piece, this is also an important part of shaping my external image, okay?"

"...Okay." Audrey had no choice but to give in, and Susie happily stuffed another piece of pan-fried keel fish into her mouth.

Of course, outsiders could not see Miss Conard talking and coquettishly talking to her maid. They could only see that the lady who had already eaten two plates asked her maid to get the chocolate cake dessert from the table.

"He is indeed a countryman." The nobles whispered, looking at each other with scrutiny and laughter.

They used their own ideas and prejudices to ask for a dog, but Susie happily took the plate and ate it happily.

"By the way, Audrey, how was my performance just now?" Susie said while eating.

"Susie, you are not allowed to talk while eating. Unless it is a communication-oriented occasion like a family dinner, you still have to maintain your manners... Okay, I know what you are going to say, but your etiquette has always been very good. ." Audrey also felt a little helpless and pleased with Susie, who was becoming more and more eloquent. She glanced at the corridor where Hvin Rambis disappeared, and her expression became serious, "Your performance is very good, let me I had a very bad idea.”

"What's wrong?"

"Hvin Rambis is an experienced demigod. I didn't originally think that he was the driving force behind such obvious social contradictions."

"But from the way he treated you, he was definitely involved."

Susie is also a "hypnotist" in Sequence 6. This sequence is not enough in front of Hvin Rambis, but she is already a quasi-middle-high-level Beyonder within the Psychological Alchemy Society. Coupled with Susie's age, There is no doubt that he will be regarded as a valued person within the Psychological Alchemy Society.

This can also explain why Susie shows a relatively strong character. Even though she comes from abroad and has family prejudice, she still looks calm and composed.

Because she has extraordinary power, her strength and status in the mysterious world determine that she does not need to look down on a viscount, nor does she need to please the viscount. For people who become Sequence 6 at this age, unless something unexpected happens, their future is almost certain to be a demigod.

Susie nodded: "I heard you say that his identity is 'arrogant'."

"Do you feel you're being targeted?"

"No, I didn't feel targeted. He did it casually, but I think he really wanted to use this method to suppress me."

Susie thought for a while and asked using a more realistic metaphor:

"It's like he thinks I've intruded into his territory, so he wants to drive me away and intimidate me. Audrey, does he think I'm a threat to him? But I'm just a Sequence 6, even if I look like I'm half God’s potential, there’s no need to suppress me from now on, right?”

"This is what's strange to me, Susie, you make him anxious, but he shouldn't pay any attention to you."

It is not accurate to be hostile to you. It should be hostile to the demigod behind you. After all, you are such a young Sequence 6 and you look like a student or future successor of a certain demigod. In addition, your identity comes from Feneport. It just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Audrey was silent for a while, and finally expressed her biggest doubt:

"I always have a weird feeling."

"Hvin Rambis, does he really think that all the current conflicts are caused by him, the 'hand behind the scenes'?"

Did he really not realize that he might be used as a gun? To bring contradictory topics to a noble dinner party so easily, there are really nobles and important people here who have close personal relations with the church and even have considerable influence on society. The disgust of civilians may just be private fights and squabbles, or blatant discrimination, but the disgust of people with the right to speak is not that simple.

Does he feel that the time has come now? Does he really still feel that everything is under his control and strategizing?

... He shouldn't be "arrogant" to this extent, right?

"I think we should go."

Audrey felt inexplicably uneasy. Just in time, her goal had been achieved. Susie also showed up at the dinner and was full.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer? I think they might actually discuss some treaties and requirements."

Audrey only felt that the views publicly expressed by those people were harsh and unpleasant: "Maybe, but there is too much nonsense in their current communication, and it is impossible to extract effective information. If there are really any results, they can be obtained through the Viscount and the newspaper tomorrow. Know."

Since Audrey said so, Susie naturally had no objection. They went to see Viscount Conard to leave early, but found that the Viscount was expressing his opinions enthusiastically.

Audrey was stunned for a moment, and then had the urge to cover her forehead.

How stupid... to indulge like this in public when entertaining the daughter of a wealthy Feneport merchant at his own home.

Susie also made a somewhat embarrassing and forbearing expression at the right time, adding some content to the boring nobles' after-dinner conversation.

They really cannot participate in this exchange center. Women and some young people are not very interested in the political and social status quo in their mouths. They either gather in small groups and hold wine glasses to communicate quietly, or they have already taken their children. lounge.

As a last resort, Susie had to find the valet who came with Viscount Conrad and told him that she planned to leave early.

The footman reported back to the Viscount, who agreed without even looking at it. A few minutes later, Susie and Audrey walked out of the banquet quickly.

…

After about fifteen minutes, Hvin Rambis walked out of the smoking room and found that this topic still showed no sign of ending.

"Isn't it a little too intense?"

He glanced at the big clock on the wall and confirmed that it was already late, and it was only half an hour before the banquet was over. According to the usual situation, many guests should have left by this time, giving the host enough time to clean up the aftermath of the banquet. However, judging from the estimated number of people still staying at the banquet, less than one-tenth of them have left. , the remaining people are still immersed in this warm atmosphere.

Hwin found it a bit incredible, but he naturally attributed this situation to his excellent psychological suggestion and guidance abilities.

He looked around casually and found that the young spectator named Susie had disappeared. When I asked, I found out that he had already left the venue in a hurry.

Can’t stay in this atmosphere any longer? So young. Hvin Rambis couldn't help but laugh. Although he was not happy about using his eloquence to bully a small audience, the disappearance of the other party did make him feel good.

…

"Actually, your request is a bit difficult to handle."

While the carriage was in progress, Audrey suddenly heard a word as it passed by on a street that was no longer crowded with pedestrians.

"Even if you want to take action, you should wait until the New Year's dinner, right? People will gather more at that time, and you might be able to do better."

"There are only three days left. You don't have to be so anxious now. Why don't you use the last time to do something you want to do?"

Audrey reacted suddenly, and she subconsciously asked the driver to stop, but the sound that reached her throat was forced back into her throat. Her spiritual intuition conveyed a dangerous premonition - since she could Hearing the other party speak, it proves that the distance between the two parties is very close, even to the extent that they just passed each other on the road. Once you stop the carriage, the other party will realize that he heard it!

There were fewer people on the road at night, and the horses ran faster. In just this moment of struggle, the carriage had already traveled four to five meters.

Although her mood was ups and downs, as a demigod, she controlled her subtle expressions and body movements extremely well. Susie, who was sitting face to face, was not aware of Audrey's mental activities just now. After a while, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Audrey slowly loosened her fists and tried her best to keep her breathing steady. Her brain worked rapidly and she slowly calmed down.

“What does anyone want to do for New Year’s dinner?”

"Attack? Attack nobles, civilians, or the church?"

"If it's the church and the nobility, I might just pretend I didn't see it, not get involved, and think about how to make a profit afterwards."

"...But if it is a civilian, I will definitely stop this behavior. The people are all victims. Even if they are not aware of it, I should not watch them consume their lives in meaningless internal fighting."

Just when she was thinking about whether to investigate, the room suddenly became cold. Audrey and Susie looked at the window of the carriage at the same time, and saw a spiritual creature getting in through the window and carrying a letter. It was handed to Susie and then disappeared.

Susie glanced at the paint seal on the envelope:

"It's MI9."

"I previously sent a letter to a team leader of MI9 as a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, saying that I wanted to gain a foothold in Loen, so I was happy to help. Unexpectedly, they found out my identity."

Audrey was not surprised at all:

"Although MI9 has lost some of its law enforcement powers, it still has some background. It would be unbelievable that we can't find you. Yes, your behavior also shows that our intended identity is similar to our self-confidence and inexperience. Open the letter and read Let’s take a look at the content.”

Susie opened the envelope, briefly glanced at the lines of words, and then raised her eyebrows.

"Don't they suspect that I'm a spy?"

"They have notarization means. Although our goal is not to bring the emperor back, it is also to shake the social order, so helping them is not completely lying. They should have found out your false identity and verified your words."

"MI9 wants me to use my extraordinary abilities to provide them with some help."

Susie read the text message again, and then the small stove inserted into the carriage burned it to ashes:

"They are not so whimsical as to ask me to confront Hvin Rambis, but they said that there will be some actions at the end of the year, and they hope that I can help cover it up. If traces are found, or someone mentions it, they will cause the other party to lose their memory, and finally It’s best not to let anyone find out.”

Audrey frowned: "...What action?"

"The letter didn't say that."

I just contacted the other party, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get very detailed information.

Audrey fell into thinking.

TBC

——————

Was the person I was talking to on the street just now from MI9? It's not impossible, but it still feels a little strange.

What on earth were they planning to do before the New Year... Before Audrey could figure it out, she suddenly heard the coachman exclaim.

She noticed something and immediately opened the car door and looked into the distance.

I saw a violent fire burning in the direction of the Harvest Church. From the height, it seemed that the entire church was swallowed up.

At this moment, Audrey's mind went completely blank. She didn't even think about "why do you want to do this", but thought "why do you have to be in such a hurry"?
