Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 555: Morning in Trier
833
A blue-white light flashed, and Fors felt as if bright blocks of color similar to those in the spirit world flashed quickly before his eyes.

It was like passing through a tunnel at a very fast speed. Countless symbols were pulled into long illusory lines and passed by. Fors felt dizzy for a while, and then he found himself holding the ticket in his hand and appearing on the lawn of a mansion.

This...why didn't Teacher Dorian tell me in the letter the correct way to use this ticket?

Fors pressed her temples, her feet felt a little weak, and at the same time she felt a tightness in her chest. She wanted to vomit but was just nauseous. She moved to the cobblestone path beside the lawn for a long time before she recovered. Fortunately, she had experienced many spiritual journeys before, and she only felt a slight discomfort as if she had turned around dozens of times in a row. It was much better than the young man who had fallen down and convulsed on the other side of the lawn.

The young man fell on his back, holding the same ticket as hers in one hand. His clothes looked casual, not formal attire for going out, but home clothes. He might be a victim like her. He looked like he was suffering from severe motion sickness—he was traveling through the spirit world. Judging from his appearance and the spiritual aura on his body, he should be a Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 Beyonder.

Since he also had to come here through a "ticket" and his sequence was not very high, he should be a "student" of Abraham like himself. I just don't know who his teacher is, but he should be an acquaintance of Teacher Dorian.

Fors lowered her head and took another look at the "ticket" that brought her here.

She was not a traveler yet, so she couldn't quite understand it, but she could vaguely guess that this should be a teleportation device containing coordinates. Since it could bring her here and it was not broken, it should be able to send her back.

Very handy props…the Abraham family is truly amazing.

Of course, Fors didn't plan to greet this completely unfamiliar peer. She pressed her chest to calm down, secretly thanking herself for being out all night last night, and after returning, she went straight to her desk, wearing her clothes, shoes and hats neatly. Otherwise, if she followed her usual real life habits, she would have been woken up by the spirit world creatures, rubbed her eyes and started reading the letter, and finally thrown directly onto the lawn of the mansion in her nightgown and quilt without washing her face or combing her hair... In that case, Fors could only say to herself that life is short and it will pass in a blink of an eye.

Did you save my image and reputation? Thank you, Mr. Fool!
After praising The Fool in her heart, Fors turned her attention to her own mansion.

This was her first time being invited to the residence of the Abraham family, and besides being excited, she was also deeply curious. And this mansion was probably the location of the family - otherwise it would not be convenient to welcome that "big shot".

With the eyes of a novelist, Fors began to analyze the mansion with the aim of learning from it.

After a quick look at the surroundings, Fors' first thought was that this place was very large and should have belonged to a nobleman who was at least a viscount, no, an earl. The lawns and flower beds were neatly groomed, and the lawns remained bright green even in winter, with some colorful flowers dotted in them, probably due to the blessing of ritual magic. Fors was in a spacious garden in front of the main gate and a road large enough for two carriages to travel side by side. Behind him was a three or four meter high iron gate that looked imposing and solemn.

Fors looked at the door carefully and unexpectedly saw some traces of ritual magic symbols on the carvings on the door, and even a simple "door" symbol composed of irregular lines.

Then, she discovered similar patterns in the surroundings and even in the carvings on the theme of the mansion in the distance, as well as the "apprentice" logo. The traces of wind and sun could not deceive anyone. According to the teacher, the Abraham family had just settled down in Intis not long ago. Even if their heritage was ancient, they should not have renovated the doors and houses and made them look old...

Fors had learned history quite well and had chatted with Dorian. She immediately remembered that the Abraham family had once won the title of nobility in Intis during the Roselle era. Perhaps this was the residence of the former "Earl Abraham".

...Being able to live directly in the former Earl's mansion, does that mean that the current Abraham family has regained its original social status in Intis?

That big shot might really be an angel...

This made Fors involuntarily a little nervous, and she subconsciously straightened her back.

The light flashed, and several more students came. Fors was the only one standing. This made her feel a sense of pressure and a subtle sense of pride... No one from the Abraham family had come to take them in yet, so they must want to see how these students perform.

Thinking of this, Fors straightened her clothes, adjusted her expression, and walked towards the mansion along the straight and spacious continent.

……

"Ancestors."

Several low-sequence leaders of the Abraham Family stood respectfully in the study, not daring to look directly at the young man in front of them with a distant aura.

"Ah."

Bethel said little, but slowly played with an antique feather pen inlaid with tiny diamonds in his hand.

Abraham and his companions were secretly looking at Him, and He was looking at the scenery outside the window.

The morning sun passed through the curtains beside the French windows, leaving a blurry shadow on His body. As a genuine god, He did not go to the astral world, nor did He establish a church. Instead, He walked on the earth and even returned to the place where His descendants lived.

Bethel knew that all his actions and words would cause great psychological pressure on these descendants, and he also knew that he needed to give these downtrodden descendants some attention and psychological support. From the perspective of status, even if he said nothing, just letting them stand by his side was already a great honor, a way to show grace and respect, and no one would complain.

There was a floor-to-ceiling window as big as a wall in front of them, through which they could clearly see the entire garden in front of the door.

They looked at each other, and one of them said respectfully:

"Young people and students from all over the country are already on their way here."

After saying that, they all stole a glance at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window. This was a special glass that had been treated with mysticism. People from the inside could see outside, but the inside was anti-divination and anti-spying. People from the outside would only think it was a normal wall.

The purpose of inviting students and children from other places to come back is not only to participate in the welcome ceremony, but also to let the ancestors "take a good look" at the ideas of the new generation of the Abraham family. It would be even better if someone could gain the favor of the ancestors. Bethel himself also acquiesced. The entrance and appearance of each student were under their watch. When Dorian saw Fors appear, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Fors was a very special student to him. She knew nothing about the secrets of the Abraham family, but unexpectedly obtained Anlisa's extraordinary characteristics, which was enough to prove that there was a certain "fate" between her and the Abraham family.

Dorian was also pleasantly surprised by Fors's performance afterwards. First, she understood the "acting method", and then she digested the potion very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she went from a new Sequence 9 to a seasoned Beyonder who could hold the "Traveler" promotion ceremony. Most importantly, Fors was still a kind child. She took the initiative to find someone to kill the traitor Louis Wayne and help Dorian get revenge.

All these signs, combined with Dorian's divination at the time, made him more and more convinced that Fors could bring some good changes to Abraham.

As if the prophecy had come true, what surprised Dorian the most was that when Fors appeared, he just happened to catch a glimpse of a slight change in the expression on the profile of his ancestor Bethel Abraham.

He waited anxiously for the ancestor's questions in an indescribable joy, but the ancestor was much more patient than him. After just a moment of surprise, Bethel restrained the expression on his face, not giving others the opportunity to guess his thoughts.

"The aura of Sefirah Castle..."

There are so many people related to Sefirah Castle now... “He” looked at the little “recorder” of Sequence 6, a glimmer of starlight flashed in his eyes, and he used the obscure astrological signs to predict the other party’s fate. Bethel knew the other party’s name in an instant, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Fors Wall has no blood relationship with the Abraham family...but she matches the prophecy of 'Yellow Light' Venitan that the Abraham family obtained during their spiritual journey more than 200 years ago, that 'the way to salvation is hidden in an apprentice'...She has the aura of Sefirah Castle, but there is no related symbol in her destiny...It seems that she is Klein's favored one, or a divine messenger?"

The original copy of "Spiritual World Observations" was spread out on His knees, and the yellowed pages were "recorded" with the chaotic impressions of the spiritual world. He had a premonition that he might meet someone or something related to this item today, and sure enough, he did.

"This child's fate will still be linked to Sefirah Castle in the future, and the aura of Sefirah Castle on her body shows no signs of disappearing."

A mysterious three-path extraordinary person related to Sefirah Castle, or a divine messenger or favored one of the current master of Sefirah Castle. Bethel didn't even need divination to know that Fors Wall's future must not be underestimated. He was bound to become a demigod, and an angel was not far away.

Bethel's eyes swept over the others again. There were some good seedlings with demigod qualities among these students and the younger generations of the side branches, and they would be high-level combat forces in the future. However, compared with Fors, who was blessed by Sefirah Castle, they were really not as good as he could be.

If this was a member of the Abraham family, Bethel might pay attention to her and bring her up to educate her personally. If she was a collateral branch or a non-staff member of the Abraham family, Bethel would also spare no effort to provide help... As for now, the specific situation depends on the specific analysis. Fors is indeed worth training, and Klein's relationship with himself is not too bad.

Bethel thought for a while, and when Fors approached the gate of the mansion, he spoke in a calm tone.

"This child," Bethel looked at Fors and said, "is very good." Dorian once again confirmed that the ancestor was talking about Fors, and a flattered smile appeared on his face. As the first student to be praised by the ancestor, the other Abrahams all showed envy towards Dorian.

They didn't know what it meant to be praised by the ancestors, but they knew one thing, that is, the female apprentice and Dorian would both receive the favor of the ancestors in the future.

"Recordant?"

There was no need for Dorian to claim his student. Bethel looked at him and said in an unquestionable tone:

"She already has the qualifications to be a 'traveler'."

834
"This is Trier?"

Audrey said goodbye to Treanor who was in a hurry to go back to report, and after expressing her gratitude to him and his cat, Audrey chose not to rush to contact the "Psychological Alchemy Society", but planned to walk around Trier alone and take a closer look at this foreign city.

Anyway, in reality and in name, she has already "married".

As a noblewoman who would never go anywhere except the capital and her fiefdom, since she had married abroad, she would probably have no chance to return home for the rest of her life, unless her husband was a diplomat from Trier and could take her back to Loen for a diplomatic mission.

But in fact, Audrey felt relaxed all over.

As she strolled through the streets of Trier, her first thought was: the water here is very clear and there are many rivers.

Along the way, she had crossed several flat bridges and arch bridges. Perhaps because there were too many and too complicated water systems, many rivers had not yet been built with guardrails. There were many people setting up stalls along the river beside the bridge, and many people sitting by the river fishing. The most incredible thing was that Audrey saw with her own eyes a Low-Sequence Beyonder fishing out a deep-sea fish from the river that she had only seen in picture books!
"Could it be that Trier's river channel is directly connected to the sea?" She couldn't help but look again and again.

Audrey walked and looked, finding everything new and interesting.

The sky in Trier is bluer than that in Backlund. The sun rises early, and its light covers every corner of the city.

She gradually entered the city center and the surrounding area became bustling.

As time passed, shops began to open one after another, and more and more people appeared on the streets and in the surrounding office buildings, with noisy sounds. Although the flow of people was not as good as Backlund, Audrey still felt the unique bustle and city style.

Audrey was a tourist. Many people hurried past her at this moment, seemingly rushing to their jobs. Some drove horse-drawn carts carrying food, meat and cloth to different places. Some children held notebooks and pens and ran to the nearby church...

This is Trier...

The ground is flat and clean, and every brick seems to be the same size. There are special trees planted on the street, which also brings a touch of greenery in winter.

As she walked, the sunlight on her body became warmer and warmer. Audrey heard the hawking in the Trier dialect and saw boats appearing in the wide river, transporting food and vegetables through Trier's developed water system. In this season, vegetables are extremely precious and can only be grown in greenhouses. Only the nobility can enjoy them. The large baskets of green vegetables that appeared directly on the boats attracted Audrey's attention.

The boats were moving along the river, selling vegetables and fruits. The business was extremely hot. People gathered around and the goods were quickly sold out.

"I should ask how much those vegetables cost..."

Audrey stood on tiptoe and watched the boat go away, feeling a little regretful.

She couldn't even squeeze in to ask the price.

Then, Audrey saw a team of people with a "sun" badge on their chests, patrolling and recording the surrounding businesses and commercial streets. Judging from people's reactions, it should be something that happens every day. The ground shook slightly, and Audrey raised her head quickly, and saw a several-meter-tall metal giant suddenly standing on the other side of the house. Before she could exclaim, she saw the metal giant put hundreds of bricks into the gap in front of his chest at once, and then grabbed a few logs, and walked slowly and rumblingly into the distance.

Audrey took great pains to avoid showing surprise on her face.

She looked at the people around her and found that although the residents were also watching the actions of the metal giant, they did not feel fear.

"What was that just now? Was it a creation of the 'craftsman' path? The Church of Steam and Mechanics once had a church in Backlund. Why have I never seen such a big metal giant..."

The Craftsman Path actually has such power? Oh my God... Audrey couldn't believe it. After all, she used to be amazed at the ironclad ship. If the Steam Church had such power, would George III have called all the nobles to watch the ironclad ship being launched?
Less than an hour after arriving in Trier, Audrey was shocked one after another, and it felt like her worldview had been somewhat impacted.

"Perhaps this is the true technology of the Church of Steam, but, um, it has never been shown..."

As she thought about it, she gradually approached the city center and the Cathedral of Light appeared at the end of the main road.

The Psychological Alchemists were also waiting for her at the Cathedral of Light, so this was also Audrey's destination, but Audrey was thinking about going somewhere else. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a conversation between several people attracted her attention.

"Really? As long as I believe in God and study hard, the school will provide me with three meals and a place to sleep? And also give me money?"

Audrey looked up and saw that the person who was speaking was a teenager with black hair and blue eyes. He looked good and had a good temperament. He seemed to be from a wealthy family. His appearance and temperament were in sharp contrast to the words he spoke and the simple linen clothes with patches on them he was wearing.

Family downfall? Audrey stopped and observed the people on the street.

Opposite the young man, a middle-aged man in a simple wizard robe pushed his glasses and looked back at the Cathedral of Light. After confirming that no one came out to chase him away, he lowered his voice with some embarrassment: "Kid, you can read. The scholarship provided by the school is for the top three students in the class, but as long as you can enter the school and promise not to be the last, the school can guarantee your daily food and accommodation."

After saying that, the middle-aged man who looked like both a wizard and a teacher glanced at the old man beside the young man and said, "But our school is a boarding school. If you pass the assessment and enter the school, you will be separated from your grandfather."

When the blue-eyed boy heard this, he immediately grabbed his grandfather's arm, with a look of hesitation on his face.

On the contrary, the old man was more decisive and directly grabbed his grandson's hand: "Don't worry about grandpa, go, go to school, the relief money given by the church is enough for grandpa to see a doctor, you can go to school and study with peace of mind..."

As he spoke, the old man gnashed his teeth and said, "Study hard and study well! Good boy, no one will sell your textbooks for money in the future, and no one will tear up your books and homework when they are drunk in the middle of the night. Child, you must study hard and strive to become a Beyonder again. As long as you can grow up well, I, a half-dead man, will have nothing to worry about."

Speaking of becoming a Beyonder, the blue-eyed boy, who was originally still hesitant, suddenly straightened his expression and said in a serious and excited tone:

"I want to be an Extraordinary, especially a 'Craftsman'!"

The middle-aged man looked back and then interrupted at the right time: "If you have talent and are willing to work hard, the Mystery Church is happy to train smart children like you. By the way, child, why do you want to become a 'craftsman'?"

The blue-eyed boy thought about it seriously and said:
"Because grandpa said that it's easy to make money by learning a skill, and if you can make money, you won't starve to death."

"Also, craftsmen can make big robots. That, that... is really cool!!"
