Mystery: Paradox Path

Passing through the portal again, Audrey landed lightly on the soft lawn. It seemed that after several teleportation, she had already adapted to the feeling of being teleported. This time, she did not feel slightly dizzy.

Looking at the greenery in the valley that was slowly rejuvenating, Audrey felt very at ease, and even began to imagine the wonderful scenery of the valley full of flowers after spring.

"As expected of an extraordinary family, in order to maintain this level of turf, the family castle needs dozens of gardeners and thousands of gold pounds to care for it every year!"

Audrey looked at Susie who started rolling on the turf before she took two steps. She was amused and envious. Although extraordinary power is dangerous, if she has enough control methods, it can greatly improve the quality of life. .

For example, the old castle in his home that makes people feel that he is slowly decaying, has to spend tens of thousands of gold pounds to repair it every year, while the house of Mr. Devil’s family has not been repaired on a large scale, but it can always maintain a clean and tidy appearance.

"The most important thing is that the lighting is very good!"

Audrey was very envious of the lighting of this castle, or in other words, the solemn and gloomy atmosphere of the family castle made her abhor.

"Okay, Susie, you're so unladylike!"

After watching Susie making trouble for a while, Audrey opened her mouth to remind, Susie stood up and said innocently:

"Audrey, I'm just a dog."

"But the average dog doesn't intentionally get himself dirty just to have an excuse to borrow someone's bathroom."

Audrey easily exposed Susie's thoughts, which made Susie stick out her tongue.

One person and one dog came to the front door of the castle with a smile, and with the turning of the delicate black key, the solemn and luxurious front door was also opened with the sound of the machine expansion.

"Welcome back, ma'am." With a slightly old greeting, Sebastian's translucent illusory figure appeared behind the door, as if he had been waiting there. The maids wearing short-skirt maid outfits also appeared on both sides of the main entrance, as if they were waiting for Audrey's order.

"Good morning, Sebastian, is Mr. Snow back?" Audrey greeted gracefully, but she didn't expect to get a positive answer—

"The master is in the study now and needs me..."

"No need, Sebastian."

A voice suddenly interrupted Sebastian's words. Audrey followed the sound and saw Snow in casual attire walking down the stairs that stretched like arms around him. With that smile as always, Audrey immediately said in surprise:

"Mr. Demon, when did you come back?"

No wonder she was so surprised, according to the exchange of Tarot Club yesterday,

At this time, Mr. Devil should be in Bayam. Why did he cross thousands of rivers and mountains and return to East Chester in one night?

But thinking about the teleportation array he just used, Mr. Devil's ability to quickly travel back and forth between Bayam and East Chester seems to be something that is not incomprehensible.

"Just came back last night." With a relaxed smile on Snow's face, he turned around and told the maid to prepare some pastries and drinks. Audrey, who was well versed in social etiquette, immediately understood what Snow meant, and raised her foot to follow his She was about to go to a social place like the living room or the garden with Mr. Devil, but at this moment, Susie, who was covered in blades of grass, suddenly entered her field of vision, which made Audrey's expression froze slightly.

"Ma'am, I'll take Susie to clean up?" At Snow's signal, the head maid immediately stepped forward, but her name still made Audrey feel a little blush, but Audrey forced Audrey with her good aristocratic education. The state of the audience collapsed, and nodded gracefully:

"please."

...

Although I really wanted to complain about the ghost servants' reluctance to change their name no matter how correct they were, Audrey ignored this topic and started to apologize for "Be Careful of the Audience".

Snow just smiled and said:

"The book itself is an enlightenment reading similar to a fairy tale, and there is nothing to worry about. If you like, you can make a copy for you, but the esoteric knowledge in it is real after all, so try not to let ordinary people see it. for good."

"I see!" Audrey nodded happily, but she was sighing with emotion about the enlightenment education of the Panredacus family——

Did Mr. Devil grow up reading this kind of book when he was a child? But then, there should be many similar books?

Thinking of this, Audrey was slightly ashamed, and immediately said:

"That, Mr. Demon, I have to pay, um, I will pay at the price of mysticism books! This is not compensation, it is just a necessary respect for knowledge, and it is also a practice of the Tarot Club's rules of equivalent exchange."

"Just look at it." Snow was noncommittal about Audrey's insistence. He just took a sip of the black tea before changing the subject:

"Speaking of equivalent exchange, I happen to have one thing I want to ask you."

"This is really great... Ah, no, I mean, feel free to say anything, Mr. Devil, you have helped me so much, as long as I can do it, I will try my best!" Audrey said in a slightly flustered voice , even a little incoherent, because in her impression, Mr. Devil has always been a powerful Beyonder who appeared in an "omnipotent" attitude. He has sufficient assets, sufficient knowledge of mysticism, and strong strength. Such a strong man would actually ask for himself, which made Audrey's restless heart jump.

"Well, I need a psychological intervention, um, maybe multiple times." Snow forced himself to the cliff, and naturally there was no reason to hide it. Hearing his words, Audrey was slightly startled:

"But according to my observation, you shouldn't have any mental illness? And Mr. Devil, haven't you mastered the extraordinary ability of the audience pathway?"

"Emperor Roselle said, 'It is difficult for a doctor to cure his own disease', and to be precise, I did not suffer from some kind of mental illness, but because of the rituals required for my next promotion, and I There is a deviation in my concept. In order to ensure that I can continue to advance without losing control, I need a little external intervention. Oh, you may not understand that after Sequence Five, every time you take magical medicine, you must cooperate with a specific ceremony, and the more the sequence is, the more The higher it is, the more difficult the ceremony will be.”

Listening to Snowna's gentle statement, the more Audrey listened, the more strange her face became. What kind of sequence did she need for such a strange promotion ceremony?

However, considering that it was Mr. Devil who made the request, Audrey was silent for a moment, and then said somewhat unconfidently:

"That, Mr. Demon, I can give it a try..."
