v3 Chapter 104: Melissa's Misunderstanding

Backlund, Chorwood, 26 Kingster Street.

Benson, who had just returned from outside, took off his hat, took off his coat, handed them over to the hired maid Sarah, and then looked at his sister Melissa, who was concentrating on writing and drawing in the living room and said:

"Melissa, today is your birthday, you have to learn to rest properly."

Melissa didn't look up, she still calculated while reading:

"So I gave myself an entire encyclopedia of materials as a gift...I'm going to get it right tonight."

Since becoming a "generalist", Melissa's learning ability and memory ability have been significantly improved, and it is normal to read a book a night.

"Melissa, you are getting more and more humorous... It's good, but it's a joke, but you can't take it seriously... By the way, look at what I bought you?" Benson said with a smile.

He didn't think Melissa was stating the facts at all, he just thought it was the little girl who was throwing a tantrum because there was no birthday party.

However, Benson felt that Melissa like this was more normal, after all, she was always so sensible in the past.

Melissa easily guessed her brother's thoughts, and could not help but sighed secretly, and then stopped her study and work.

She also knew that her memory ability had already surpassed that of ordinary people, so she didn't want to scare her brother.

Moreover, Melissa did have some expectations for Benson's gift.

So she glanced at her brother casually and asked:

"Is the job of a government employee so easy? To come back so early?"

"No, it's just my dearest sister's birthday, so naturally she has to ask for leave... Besides, the first repayment of the financial loan applied by the film and television company has already arrived, and my work has been much more leisurely." Benson glanced across the living room Inside a mirror, he couldn't help raising his hand to straighten his hair, and said with an unhappy expression, "And because I was in charge of this extremely successful business, I was rewarded by a deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance... At least I can get through the **** internship, and then I'll have a weekly salary of 3 pounds!"

3 pounds... The price of the "Understander" potion is at least 300 pounds... In other words, if Klein's pension is not used, we will have to eat or drink for 100 weeks, and it will take nearly two years to pay off...

Melissa subconsciously calculated it in her mind, but she laughed immediately. After all, her brother is not the only one in the family who can make money. She is working as a "prop" for a film and television company, and her weekly salary is even higher than Benson.

Melissa retracted her stray thoughts and looked at the empty-handed Benson again. Although she didn't speak, her meaning was obvious: "Where's the gift?"

Benson smiled without saying a word, and said mysteriously, "You'll know right away."

Before he finished speaking, Sarah, the little maid in a black and white dress, ran over again to report: "Sir, there is a lady named Elizabeth visiting. She said she is a friend of Miss Melissa."

"Elizabeth?!" Melissa's eyes lit up and she jumped up.

Who doesn't want a friend's blessing on their birthday? But Melissa, who was in Backlund, hadn't made any good friends, and the only "teacher" Hazel who was close enough to teach her about the mysticism didn't ask about it deliberately, so she didn't know that her birthday was today.

It was the arrival of Elizabeth that made Melissa quite happy.

She turned her head to look at Benson, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm very happy, Benson... This is really a surprise."

After she finished speaking, she took the maid Sarah to the door to greet her friend, leaving Benson alone, his face full of confusion.

The goddess is above, the gift I prepared is not this... I ordered a novel ice cream cake in a dessert shop with a good reputation and good taste in the North District... They obviously haven't delivered it yet...

At the same time, in front of a window of the villa at 28 Kinster Street, Abner, who was quietly watching this scene, drew the curtains and quickly disappeared from the room.

"After Elizabeth's exploration in the town of 'Kabas', she really chose the 'option' of 'come to Melissa to tell'... This is also the only opportunity for her to embark on the extraordinary path in the tributary of the 'River of Destiny'."

...

Stone City, East Chestershire, Antiquities Collection and Conservation Foundation.

Because this newly formed organization is in the initial stage, there is too much work to deal with. Audrey deliberately delayed the review of several funds, so she stayed overnight on the grounds that it was too late and it was not safe to return to the castle at this time. In the "Foundation" manor.

——This was originally a manor under her name, and all the facilities were complete, so Earl Hall was assured of her staying there.

Of course, a team of professional bodyguards is essential.

In fact, Audrey handed over all the work to her "personal assistant" Islant, while she herself returned to the bedroom, waiting for a certain gentleman to arrive.

At eight o'clock, as a figure was quickly outlined, Audrey saw Mr. Tower with a changed face appear in front of her.

Seeing this, Audrey said briskly:

"Good evening, Mr. 'Professor'~"

In the real world, she was more careful not to call the other party's code name in the "Tarot Club", so as not to reveal her identity - although Abner didn't care much.

At the same time, Audrey's spiritual intuition has already sensed the surface condition of the other party's mind and body, that is, emotions in the popular sense, or moods.

Quite pleasant...Mr. "Tower" always seems to maintain a "healthy" state of mind, and only rarely does it show other emotions...Is it his natural optimism, or is it for some other reason?

Audrey, who has been playing "psychiatrist" recently, has habitually analyzed a wave.

But what she didn't know was that the other party was about to take her to "social death", and she was naturally "happy" in her heart...

"Good evening, miss... Tonight, the red moon is dreamy and beautiful, and it is suitable for going out to admire the moon..." Abner said the lines in a certain book with a smile, and then asked, "I wonder if you are ready?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Audrey and found that she was wearing a hunting outfit that was easy to move around, and she was also carrying a small bag to hold various spells and ritual materials.

Audrey nodded, picked up the "lie" that turned into a mask and put it on her face, then said with a smile, "I have already instructed Susie and Eastland to help cover up my departure... However, It's better to be back before dawn."

Although there is nothing wrong with it, it still feels a little strange to put Susie and Islant together next to each other... Abner muttered to himself, and then performed a standard dance etiquette.

Audrey immediately understood and put her palm on Mr. Tower's hand.

Immediately afterwards, the various colors in front of her became more intense, the red moon became brighter, the shadows became darker, and the various colors were distinct and layered on top of each other.

Countless almost invisible figures retreated toward the "back". With the help of Abner, Audrey quickly traveled through the spiritual world.

It turns out that "teleportation" is such a feeling... Audrey, who was swimming in the spirit world for the first time, just had a few thoughts when she saw her body plummet, the color around her receded, and everything returned to normal.

A small space... There is dirt all around... An ancient altar... This is an underground ceremony room... Audrey looked around and was about to ask, but was caught by the book on the altar that looked The rather old book and the three "cards of blasphemy" around it were attracted.

"Door", "Error", "Dark Emperor"...

She turned her eyes slightly and asked curiously:

"The exploration of the 'City of Miracles' Levihead is related to this book?"

"Yes, our goal is in this book." Abner replied with a smile.

"In the book?" Audrey was a little surprised, but not too strange.

After all, in her opinion, the "cave" in the subconscious sea they had explored before was no less mysterious than "a book".

"Yes, this is a magical book with an imaginary world 'inside', and Levishde is in the collective subconscious sea of ​​that world."

"Fantasy... So it is!" Audrey grasped this key word keenly, with a look of surprise on her face.

Early in the morning, she had heard Mr. Tower say that the Sequence 0 of the Audience pathway was called "Imaginer", and "City of Miracles" was the king of giant dragons, the **** of the ancient **** "Dragon of Imagination" Angelweed country.

It makes sense that it's tucked away in an imaginary world of books.

Seeing Audrey nod her head thoughtfully, Abner didn't say anything more, only explained that he was going to pick up the "Queen of Mysteries", and then disappeared.

Audrey was a little nervous. After all, she was about to meet a real big man in the Beyonder world.

Although she felt that Mr. "Ta" might not be weaker than the other party, it was inevitable that she was a little nervous.

Therefore, after taking a few deep breaths, Audrey prayed to Mr. Fool for "protection".

Klein, who was waiting to watch the "live broadcast" above the gray fog, was immediately refreshed and responded instantly. In addition to blessing "Paper Angel", he also temporarily strengthened his connection with Miss Justice~www.mtlnovel .com~ Make the picture clearer.

On the other side, after receiving the angel's blessing, Audrey recalled the "angel" she just saw and hugged herself, and couldn't help but mutter:

"It seems that the person who gave the blessing this time was a female angel... Although I didn't see the face, I knew from the feeling that it was a very beautiful angel... Mr. Fool is really considerate..."

And Klein, who just heard this, was a little embarrassed, because it was a last resort... After all, his "wrong card" and "Dark Emperor card" were borrowed, and he only had two cards "Witch" and "Moon" in his hand. The power above the gray fog can be leveraged.

Of course, in order to maintain the image of Mr. Fool, his angels are not suitable for being too "coquettish", so Klein finally chose the "Moon" card.
