Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 22: Miss Justice's First Meeting with Her Lover
October 7th, Thursday.

In the afternoon, Viscount Greylint was in Backlund's luxurious villa.

Audrey, who was followed by a maid, followed etiquette, handed her hand to her master, and gave him a fake kiss.

"Your beauty graces my salon."

Grellint first praised her normally, then lowered his voice and said, "The lady has arrived. She is both an extraordinary person and a writer."

"Mr. Black?"

Audrey briefly inquired about the 'writer' mentioned by Greylint, and then quickly asked again.

"over there."

Grellint's tone paused, and he pointed to a corner of the living room helplessly.

Audrey entered the living room, looked around, and quickly locked onto her target.

Yu Jin, who was wearing a well-dressed suit, was sitting on the sofa and flipping through a book. Audrey's excellent eyesight and memory allowed her to determine the name of the book based on what she saw -

"Storm Heights".

"Audrey."

Viscount Glint had a strange expression on his face. Noticing Audrey's gaze, he immediately changed the subject and said, "This is Ms. Fors Wall, the author of Stormwind Heights."

Audrey slightly withdrew her gaze from observing the embers and looked up at the lady on the other side who was walking to the long table to get her dessert.

This Ms. Fors was about 23 or 24 years old, about 1.65 meters tall. She wore a beige dress with a ruffled stand-up collar, her brown hair was slightly curled, and her light blue eyes turned to her because of Greylint's introduction, with a somewhat playful smile.

Audrey also quickly analyzed the characteristics of Miss Fors.

A writer who likes to smoke, with a look of condescending psychology in his eyes.

It was obvious that she was the one who took the initiative to contact Greylint.

In other words, she might have other requests for Greylint.

Is it money or extraordinary materials?
"Ma'am, this is Miss Audrey I mentioned."

Grellint introduced her to Fors with a hint of reverence, "She is Backlund's most dazzling gem. Her father is Earl Hall, a senator who is highly trusted by the king and respected by the nobles."

"Good afternoon, Ms. Fors. Your Stormwind Manor is still at my bedside."

Audrey smiled elegantly and sweetly, and bowed in strict accordance with the rules of the nobility.

Ms. Fors also naturally exchanged a few words with them, and her casual tone revealed an obvious sense of superiority.

Soon, both sides parted ways.

After all, they are in public, and they will not talk about serious matters in such an occasion.

Ever since.

Audrey turned her gaze back to the embers.

"Audrey."

Grellint smiled bitterly. He wanted to change the subject, but Audrey persisted.

"Graylint."

Audrey suddenly asked, "What's your impression of this Mr. Black?"

"impression?"

Greylint hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Well, how should I put it? He should be a fallen noble who has just arrived in the kingdom not long ago. The purpose of attending the party is to expand his network, but he gives people the feeling that strangers are not allowed in."

"His clothes look respectable, but he wore the same outfit to the last party and the race."

"All ten fingers are covered with rings, but none of them can be called expensive. The styles are even a little old-fashioned and, well, weird."

"So? What's your opinion?"

Audrey then asked.

"A fake upstart."

Grellint gave a very insightful evaluation.

He clearly came here to expand his network, but he gave people a feeling that no strangers were allowed to enter, and it was obvious that he was playing hard to get.

But his performance seemed too poor - although the suit looked decent, it was obviously worn many times.

This shows that this is the only suit he can afford.

Coupled with the old and cheap ring, it outlines the other party's false image.

He was trying hard to disguise himself as a wealthy and tasteful nouveau riche in an attempt to expand his network of contacts.

But the seemingly dazzling but actually quite cheap rings and his only suit revealed everything.

This resulted in almost everyone present seeing through everything, so no one wanted to get close to each other.

"Is that so?"

A gleam of light flashed in Audrey's beautiful eyes.

Her thoughts were exactly the opposite of Graylint's.

The style of the other party's suit was exactly the same as last time, and as a spectator, she knew this better than Greylint.

But in her opinion, this is precisely a reflection of the other party's casualness.

As for the temperament of not allowing strangers to enter, it is not a disguise, it is just the other person's nature.

As for the 'cheap' rings on the other person's ten fingers, that is actually the most noteworthy thing.

Just as Greylint said, most of these rings were not gorgeous and even looked a bit old.

For example, due to long-term lack of good maintenance, some rings have cracks on their surfaces.

This also makes it look cheaper.

However, on the other person's left hand, Audrey saw three very familiar rings -

Two of them are shaped like winding snakes, with the snake's body forming the ring and the snake's head placed on the top as decoration.

The two rings are very similar, except that one is gold and the other is silver.

The third one looks like a leaping cat.

At first glance they look odd, but upon closer inspection these three beautifully carved rings give off a lifelike feeling.

It was as if the snakes and cats would come alive in the next second.

And the most important thing.

It was Mr. Lover whom Audrey had met at the Tarot Club, and he also wore these rings on his hands.

Rather than saying that these were cheap decorations, Audrey was more inclined to another guess -

These are magical items that have all sorts of magical effects.

"Hello, Mr. Black."

Audrey walked over from the side and greeted the man with a sweet smile.

But when Grellint saw this scene, he felt like crying but had no tears.

He has already very rudely pointed out that the other party is a fake upstart, so why do you still want to get close to him?

If anyone dies, Earl Hall will kill him!
"Ok?"

It seemed like Yu Jin was immersed in a book and couldn't extricate himself. It took a long time for him to respond to the girl's greeting, "Hello."

"A fake name?"

Audrey immediately made a judgment in her heart.

She knew everyone here except Ash Black and Fors.

So she knew full well that there was no one else here named Blake.

The only Ember named Black reacted very slowly, and it was obvious that this was not the other party's real name.

But according to Greylint's introduction, Ash Black is a fallen noble.

Black is also a noble surname.

Even the noble surname is fake. Does this mean that Ash Black's identity is far more mysterious than that of a noble?
Thinking of this, the girl's gem-like eyes became brighter.
