Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 112 Lucky Star

Audrey didn't expect to accidentally get Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s personal information. Although it has not been confirmed yet, Audrey feels that the probability is very high.

The Hanged Man takes Zillingas very seriously.

It is no coincidence that at the scene of Qilingos's death, a Storm Church Beyonder with the same hair color as the "Hanged Man" appeared.

"Although Galadria has a bad personality, the amount of information she has access to as the Red Gloves Captain is truly enviable! Trading intelligence with Galadria always yields unexpected surprises, and so far it seems to be quite profitable!"

"It's just...it would be better if this woman could be more honest with me."

"Perhaps, we can try to get this woman into the Tarot Club?"

"Then I'll ask Mr. Fool for advice at the party next week..."

Audrey concealed her thoughts, her mood improving considerably. She said to Claire, "Ms. Galadilla, I have to attend a private party later. You can use the rest of the day as you please."

Claire had nothing else important to do right now. She preferred to stay by Audrey's side so that she could reveal the news of "Claire's body" at the right time.

Claire held the teacup, looking as if she had seen through Audrey's thoughts. She smiled faintly and said, "Are you going to meet those wild Beyonders you hired? I think I need to stay by your side to protect you. Miss Hall, you don't fully understand the dangers of wild Beyonders."

Audrey instinctively wanted to refute Claire's words, but after listening to them, she felt that they made a lot of sense.

Just like the organizer of the extraordinary gathering she recently attended, Mr. A, gave her a disgusting and dangerous feeling.

It wasn't just Mr. A; the actions of wild Beyonders generally revealed madness and viciousness. This was due to the environment in which they grew up.

Even the kind-hearted Hugh Dilcha and Fors Wall gave Audrey the impression that they were more like mercenaries working for a fee. Therefore, when Audrey approached them on a commission, she maintained sufficient caution and an appropriate distance.

In contrast, Galadilla, who has a bad temper but a background in the Goddess Church, gives Audrey a sense of security and trust.

"Taking Galadilla to various Beyonder gatherings is indeed safer than for me to go out alone and meet those wild Beyonders." Thinking of this, Audrey looked at Claire hesitantly and said:
“But you’re an official…”

"I won't arrest anyone randomly." Claire paused at Audrey's distrustful look, then promised, "As long as no crime occurs, I won't arrest any wild Beyonders you've come into contact with."

Audrey was still a little suspicious: "Why are you so tolerant of me?"

"I'm short of money. It's hard to find a big customer like you." Claire casually gave the reason without further explanation, because as long as Audrey was rational enough, she would not refuse her protection.

……

Viscount Glint, at the Queen's house.

The equally young Viscount Gralint looked at Claire with curiosity and enthusiasm. "Ms. Galadilla, Audrey said you are a powerful Beyonder. You are very welcome to join this gathering."

Viscount Greylint inherited the title of nobility when he turned twenty because his father died young. He was a slightly frail young man who shared the same interests as Audrey. He was full of longing for the world of Beyonders and was more proactive than Audrey in reaching out to Backlund's small circle of wild Beyonders.

Fors Wall was introduced to Audrey by Viscount Greylint.

In stark contrast to Viscount Greylint, Fors and Xio remained silent. Although they didn't know Claire's exact identity, they knew she was powerful and a Beyonder affiliated with the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

The two of them exchanged glances secretly, wanting to escape together from the party organized by Viscount Greylint.

But the reactions and thoughts of both of them did not escape the observation of "mind reader" Audrey.

Audrey preparedly pushed a bulging envelope in front of the two of them, "Xiu, Fors, this is the reward you deserve."

The envelope was not sealed, and from the crack it was revealed that it contained only 10-pound notes, which roughly estimated to be more than 500 pounds.

Although Fors is a novelist, unfortunately, all her royalties added up are not as thick as this envelope.

Xio, who worked hard to make money as a bounty hunter, could not refuse this huge sum of money. She had obtained the potion formula for her path, Sequence 8 "Sheriff", at a gathering of Beyonders a long time ago, but she did not have enough money to buy it.

"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Audrey."

The two looked at each other and decided to stay.

Xio carefully checked the banknotes in the envelope and found that there were 800 pounds in total.

Xio glanced at Claire furtively, consoling himself, "At least this Nighthawk shows no signs of wanting to capture us. Miss Audrey must have opened up some connections... I can't let Miss Audrey get away with something just because of a little danger."

After observing this process, Claire admired Audrey's meticulous consideration. She smiled friendly at Xio and Fors and said, "I'm Galadilla, a guard hired by Miss Hall. Please take care of me from now on."

Fors, unconcerned with the crisis, revealed a bit of her casual nature as she responded, "I'm Fors Wall, a doctor with dreams of becoming a writer."

Xio, who was only 1.5 meters tall, hesitated for a moment before responding to Claire's greeting, "I'm Xio Dilcha."

After this initial acquaintance, and with Viscount Glint's deliberate efforts to liven up the atmosphere, everyone present became more familiar with each other.

At the party, Viscount Glint once again expressed his desire for the "Pharmacist" potion formula, "There's a party with Mr. A tomorrow. Do you want to join us this time? I really hope to get the 'Pharmacist' this time..."

Mr. A?

Although the Aurora members in Backlund had disappeared before the large-scale search, from the clues left behind, it was Mr. A, one of the Aurora Society's twenty-two divine messengers, who had previously managed the Aurora members in Backlund.

"This is definitely not just a simple repetition of names..."

"It's true that every snake has its own way and every rat has its own way. Mr. A of the Aurora Society, who the three major churches have failed to find, is still organizing secret gatherings of wild Beyonders in Backlund, so much so that even wealthy ordinary people like Viscount Grallint can come into contact with them..."

"From this perspective, Mr. A is also quite short of money? Hmm... maybe the official investigation into the Aurora Society has caused him to lose his way of making money, so he's in dire straits."

Claire was looking forward to following the four people present to attend Mr. A's circle gathering. If they were truly the remnants of the Aurora Society, then reporting the situation to Creste Cesimma would be a significant achievement!

"Ms. Justice is such a lucky star." Claire couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
