Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 112 Miss Justice: Mr. Wheel of Fortune is right
Birningham Road, Hillston Borough, Backlund.

After taking a short break after lunch, Star looked through the manuscript he had just started.

Since arriving in Backlund on Thursday, he had spent the weekend preparing for the leases and furnishings of several houses, and finally finished all these things before Monday.

Therefore, even though it was related to his progress as a "player" and he was tasked with completing the side quest "Miss Messenger's Manuscript Request", Sta didn't have much time to complete it.

So far, I have only completed the outline preparation before writing and a small part of the beginning.

Sta originally thought that living on Minsk Street in the Cherwood district was not bad. Maybe he could become a neighbor of Xiao Ke in the future. After all, there are not many people who share a common language and similar values.

But seeing that Mrs. Summer was showing off in front of people who had a balance of nearly 7000 pounds in her account after spending a lot of money, Star, who didn't want to expose anything, decided to move to Birningham Road in Hillsdon.

In fact, he could also move to the house in Queens that costs more than 200 pounds a year.

However, if he met Mrs. Summer when she was attending a party in Queens, it would be embarrassing and embarrassing for Mrs. Summer to see that he, the man who rented her house, also rented a high-end villa in Queens.

Star didn't comment much, mainly because he didn't really want to meet Mr. Z in his daily life, unless he put on another disguise...

Moreover, the facilities here in the Hillston district are also good, at least much better than those at 15 Minsk Street and the house where Bista used to live in Tingen City for a long time.

There are two floors in total. The first floor has a large living room, three guest rooms, a study, two bathrooms, a dining room with good lighting and a kitchen with a variety of tableware styles next to it. The second floor has four bedrooms, a living room, a sun room, a study, two bathrooms, and a large balcony.

It is fully equipped with fireplace, gas pipes, easy chairs, removable carpets, tea sets, card tables, etc.

Although there are more bathrooms, probably to cope with the shortage when the host hosts a party, and of course there are more guest rooms and bedrooms as well.

But Star said that's not the point.

The point is that the kitchen is very good, which helps Star to try to restore some of the flower growers' recipes, although this is still a bit difficult given the dexterity of the "player".

It was no problem for Star to cook some common food from the Kingdom of Loen at home, but if he really wanted to use the ingredients here to recreate the recipes from the Flower Growers, there were still difficulties to overcome...

When you walk out the door, you will find many "acquaintances" near this address.

Allen Kress, a well-known surgeon in Backlund, was recently in charge of a patient, a very pitiful child who was less than ten years old. He needed to have his left leg amputated due to some problems.

Oh, by the way, this child is called Will Auceptin, and in the future he will be the "young angel" under "Mr. Fool", "Mercury Snake", Sequence 1 of the "Destiny" pathway.

Now, perhaps because it is at a disadvantage in the battle with the "Mercury Snake" under the seat of another "True Creator", it is now preparing to restart.

There is also a lazy writer, Fors Wall, and the future Miss Magician of the Tarot Club.

With the help of Mr. Fool and the Abraham family, which was once a big family in the Fourth Epoch, and with his unyielding spirit, he avoided most of the "dangers of death" and finally became one of the few angels in the Tarot Club.

Star was her neighbor and knew that she had recently been visiting Miss Audrey regarding the imprisonment of her good friend Hugh Dilcher.

She wanted to ask Miss Audrey to rescue Miss Hugh, who was awaiting final judgment because she stepped in to help someone solve a loan shark problem.

Star just exchanged a few pleasantries with her as a neighbor, hoping that she could really get Miss Xiu acquitted of the charges.

In addition, there is a great detective named Isengard Stanton in this area. He seems to be a Beyonder of the "Reader" path in secret. He has a relationship with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He organized a gathering of Beyonders and called himself the "Eye of Wisdom".

I wonder how Star would react if he went to his house and opened a box...

There is a forest not far from the Hillston area. Star remembered that a certain unlucky guy met Azik, the "sick angel" of "Mr. Fool" there.

In addition, there is the Backlund Stock Exchange, the Bill Exchange, the Futures Center, the headquarters of the seven major banks, various trust funds, various railway companies, and various bulk commodity trading companies.

There must be many extraordinary people who take advantage of the flow of people and the security environment here to hide themselves. Throwing a brick down might hit a few of them.

It can only be said that the Hillston District is worthy of being called the economic, commercial, and financial center of the Kingdom of Loen.

Backlund is worthy of being the "City of All Cities" that has Amon's Tomb, Jacob's Legacy, and Tudor's Underground Palace, where even angels have to be cautious.

There are so many talented people, so many talented people...

Of course, since the surface was calm, the mid- and low-sequence Beyonders here were actually dancing the most happily...

Just as he was thinking about it, a deep red color enveloped and submerged Star.

……

Backlund, Queens.

Audrey lifted her skirt and walked lightly towards the bedroom.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, turned her head, looked into the shadow of the balcony, and as expected, saw the golden retriever Susie squatting quietly and watching.

"Susie, I've told you so many times that what you're doing is wrong. You're peeping. The 'audience' should watch openly from their own seats."

Audrey held her forehead helplessly.

Susie wagged her tail, shaking the air around her, and spoke in a rough and unsmooth voice:
"Audrey, I'm just a dog..."

Hearing this, Audrey was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Tarot Club and ask Mr. Wheel of Fortune how they should train Susie.

……

A few Saturdays ago, she was sitting in a hanging chair in a shady corner thinking about what Forth Wall had requested.

For some reason, the best-selling novelist followed Lord Glint's advice and offered to hire a barrister to help with the matter.

But this is just fine. I can also tell Viscount Grayling at the ball and do as the barrister advises.

After the kind-hearted popularization of the Wheel of Fortune Mr. at the Tarot Club, Audrey felt that she was no longer a naive girl.

Whether it was the end of the world he talked about or the dangers of the extraordinary world, it made this lady of justice pay more attention to hiding her identity.

It is better not to have any overt relationship with Fors Wall and Hugh Dilcha, so as to avoid being traced.

Thinking about this, Audrey thought of the Psychological Alchemy mentioned by Mr. Wheel of Fortune.

"What if the 'psychologist' of the Psychological Alchemist Society is also hiding himself? I am just a 'spectator'..."

But when she thought that Mr. Wheel of Fortune might have further clues, Audrey felt that she didn't need to worry about her thinking being wrong, and she could still ask him when the time came. After sorting out her thoughts, Audrey smiled slightly, her eyes shining like bright gems, and then she had another question.

She regained her composure and looked at the colorful flowers outside, hiding in the darkness and peeking into the light. She suddenly thought of one thing:
That is, Mr. Wheel of Fortune said that pets that drank the "audience" potion might be able to speak, but Susie doesn't seem to have any signs of this so far?

But she also felt that her thoughts were a bit strange.

Why do we have to worry about whether Susie can speak?

Could it be because of the strange idea of ​​letting Susie enter that mysterious space to participate in the Tarot Club?
No, even if Susie could speak to express her opinions and exchange ideas, there was no guarantee that a dog would suddenly bark at any time.

For example, woof woof woof? Awoo woo?

"Bah, why should I learn to bark like a dog in my heart..."

“Such a scene feels very strange just imagining it… A dog barking suddenly appeared in the mysterious and solemn gathering… Mr. Fool will definitely kick us out of the Tarot Club…”

Just then, she saw the big golden retriever Susie sneaking behind some flowers, to a place where only the gardener would go.

"Susie...what is it going to do?" Audrey was hiding in the shadows, staring in amazement.

The big golden retriever seemed to have its sense of smell confused by the fragrance of the flowers and did not notice its owner behind it. It opened its mouth and made loud "ahhh" and "ahhhh" sounds in a hoarse voice.

Then, it made the air around it vibrate, and rang out the words that were not smooth enough:

"Hello."

"How are you?"

……

With Star's preparation, Audrey just opened her mouth slightly, quickly came to her senses, and spoke out in an interested voice:
"Susie, can you speak now?"

"Great! He didn't lie to me."

As if she realized that she had exposed something, Audrey quickly changed her words:

"I didn't say anything just now!"

So embarrassing, so embarrassing... At the same time, Audrey, who looked elegant and dignified, covered her face in her heart and added again:

"Susie, you didn't hear anything, did you?"

The big golden retriever, Susie, who didn't understand why her owner was so flustered, simply turned around to face her owner and quickly wagged her tail.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a moment, because she didn't understand the twists and turns in human thoughts.

The big golden retriever thought about it carefully, then opened and closed its mouth several times, shaking the surrounding air and said:
"Audrey, I'm just a dog..."

Audrey could only rub her forehead, feeling annoyed that she was worrying about a dog, and it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.
Even if the maids or someone else heard her mention "him", she could just explain that "he" here refers to her brother or father... They would probably think so too...

As for Susie...

It seems difficult to explain to it why father and brother mentioned that "pets that drank the potion might be able to speak", but Susie probably wouldn't speak in front of others.

You can’t gossip with other dogs… Bah, what are you thinking, Audrey!

Considering this, Audrey looked at Susie with doubt, which made Susie feel at a loss.

But Audrey quickly adjusted:

No, no, no, I should think like this. Susie also knows that I took the potion according to the formula he gave and became a "spectator", so I just need to push this matter to the Extraordinary Gathering... Well, this is not lying to people, no, it is, lying to dogs... That's what I decided.

Feeling that she had found the right idea, Audrey smiled brightly, then patted Susie's head to comfort the big golden retriever.

After thinking for a while, Audrey didn't explain anything after all. She just thought:

However, Mr. Wheel of Fortune did not make a wrong judgment this time. So he said those words only when he was sure? He seemed to be very sure about this matter...

I thought he was trying to change the subject... He already said he wanted to raise a "witch cat"... So he was serious about those ideas?
Hmm, no, no, Mr. Wheel of Fortune must have his considerations... or he must be joking... It's not allowed between humans and animals...

For a moment, Audrey's thoughts fell into a tangled vortex. She simply stopped discussing the matter in her mind and instead thought of one thing in her mind.

Mr. Fortune Wheel really didn't lie to me... Well, if he did, I would report him to Mr. Fool~! However, it would be interesting if Mr. Fortune Wheel made a mistake. I would just ask him at the Tarot Club and not bother Mr. Fool... Well, I was just kidding. I don't want to report Mr. Fortune Wheel either... Audrey thought about it and suddenly felt a mischievous pleasure. She managed to control the slight upward curl of her lips.

The golden retriever next to him was enjoying his owner's caress. He was not familiar with human psychology and was just wondering about Audrey's girlish nature:
Audrey is a little weird. Never mind. I'm just a dog...

……

Back to this Monday, Audrey settled Susie down.

After mumbling a few words, Audrey did not dare to delay and went back to the bedroom.

She locked the door and pretended to be busy so that Susie wouldn't notice that she would stay alone in her room every Monday afternoon from 3 to 3:30.

Walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, Audrey took out a page of Russell's diary written on old brown paper from under the pillow and thought:

What question did she want Mr. Fool to answer with this page of the diary? Was she going to ask about how to train Susie?
"No, no, no, this is a Tarot Club, not a pet raising experience sharing meeting, or a training exchange meeting for 'magic pets' that have drunk 'magic potions'..."

"But Mr. Wheel of Fortune seems to be quite interested. He was the one who reminded me last time that Susie might speak. Otherwise, I might have been scared..."

"Well, should we ask him..."

……

3pm, above the gray fog.

Several crimson figures rose up at the same time on both sides of the long bronze table, and then solidified into a blurry state.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool," Audrey said briskly as she stood up and saluted.

Then she turned to Star and greeted him in a sweet voice:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Wheel of Fortune~"
