Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 233 Confused
Earl Hall did not see the little thoughts of his daughter who had become a "mind reader", and he sighed in his heart.

Then he said to Audrey in a warning tone with a self-conscious face:
"I'm sorry, Audrey, my tone was a bit harsh just now."

"But I must know what you are going to do with those daily necessities, especially why you are buying food!"

Remembering the taboo word "Tingen City" that his daughter had mentioned casually in front of him before, Earl Hall's face changed, and he continued with some seriousness:
"Something has happened recently. The Royal Government and the House of Commons have been keeping a close eye on this kind of behavior..."

At this point, he laughed at himself, and suddenly he didn't understand why he had lost his mind before. He thought that his actions not only helped him get closer to the Church of Darkness, but also became a "political show" that could win the hearts of the people with just a little statement.

But as more and more information was revealed, he finally realized that it was not a question he could risk proposing.

Even His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister, under pressure from the three major churches, "had to" consider how to give up some of their interests and temporarily ease the conflicts in this regard by increasing the wages of factory workers, improving their working hours, and revising the Poor Law.

If the church had not acted in time, there is no telling how the incident would have turned out.

In short, the fact that the property restrictions for electoral district elections in Tingen were immediately relaxed shows that—

This is definitely a sensitive topic.

Count Hall knew that Tingen was only a medium-sized city—which was why the kingdom was so tolerant of requests for changes to constituency elections and responded so quickly—but the impact of this trend of thought could not be underestimated just because the area was small.

No matter what...

Don't let it spread!
For some reason, Earl Hall always felt that their "strike" was not as simple as it seemed. They were just trying to get "a day off" or something like that.

"Why, Dad?" Audrey was curious. This was not a war period, and she was not hoarding daily necessities "maliciously".

She just wanted to obtain the extraordinary materials she wanted from the trade between Mr. Wheel of Fortune and Silver City, and at the same time help the desperate Silver City survive better...

Moreover, this matter was witnessed by two great beings.

As for further thoughts, why is my father so serious?

Audrey looked confused and continued to ask:

"Also, Dad, are there any taboos in purchasing grain?"

In other words, why did the purchase of grains seem so serious to her father? Audrey used her "mind reader" ability to observe Earl Hall's expression.

She looked at Earl Hall with a puzzled look, and at the same time used this expression to show that she didn't know what her father was talking about, and that it had nothing to do with what he said...

Earl Hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief - it was good that his daughter was not involved in those things, and it would be best if she had nothing to do with certain people.

He looked at his daughter, not knowing how to explain it - could they not do anything that would lead to the downfall of the Hall Family?
Finally he took a breath and said slowly, "It's nothing, Audrey. I'm just a little too sensitive."

"Oh, yes, Dad."

Seeing that Count Hall didn't seem to want to explain anything about this matter, Audrey tactfully didn't ask any further questions - after all, she could probably ask other people later, right?

Could it be related to what happened before?

After thinking for a while, Earl Hall decided to change the topic to something lighter: "I heard that you like items related to mysticism?"

He planned to relax some restrictions on Audrey in this regard, or to collect some extraordinary items for her that she was interested in. It felt like he wanted to use "toys" to compensate and entertain the child.

When Audrey heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she shook her head - if we really want to talk about extraordinary materials in the field of mysticism, it seems that she is not lacking anything at the moment.

In addition to the next stage recipe, this should also be available for purchase through Mr. Wheel of Fortune's channel.

Moreover, even if the Tarot Club members were not willing to sell ropes to hang themselves in the trade of exchanging extraordinary materials for daily necessities with the City of Silver, they could basically accumulate the extraordinary materials they needed through more or less transactions.

Except for the magical items, which may be a little difficult to sustain, everything else is fine.

Everything else is okay...?

Thinking of the figure who used to communicate with her, she pursed her lips and said:
"No, no need."

"The little girl in your memory has grown up and is not so obsessed with occult matters anymore."

Because I know from Mr. Wheel of Fortune that this is very dangerous... Audrey puffed up her cheeks and added in her heart.

Just thinking of the previous conversation with Mr. Wheel of Fortune, she seemed to have an indescribable throbbing in her heart, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

This expression was fleeting, and no one in the room noticed it except a dog squatting in the shadows who noticed it with his "mind-reading" ability.

Earl Hall nodded, thinking that his daughter felt sorry for her father and didn't want to cause trouble for him.

In short, as long as it does not involve matters concerning the core interests of the Hall family, he will try his best to meet his daughter's requests.

In fact, Audrey took so many extraordinary materials from the treasure house, and he already knew everything about it.

Earl Hall looked at his daughter who had secretly become a Beyonder, and thought that all this was done with his tacit approval. Audrey was still in this early stage, so she shouldn't be in that much danger.

Just as the two were thinking about their own things, Audrey's eyes suddenly blurred and she saw endless gray fog and a pious man.

As layers of mist appeared before her eyes, Audrey seemed to hear an illusory voice entering her ears, overlapping with the subsequent words of her father, Earl Hall.

"Audrey, you have grown up."

Normally, Audrey would have pretended to be reserved after hearing such praise, acting modestly and coquettishly first, and then returning to her room feeling proud.

But now, she nodded obediently and said "yes", then watched her father walk out of the room after getting a satisfactory response.

After all, when Earl Hall saw his daughter being praised by her father, he couldn't suppress his joy.

What else does he have to worry about?

When Count Hall finally left the room, Audrey paced lightly and flexibly in the room aimlessly.

Until she walked briskly to her bed, lay down on it, and a comfortable smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
