"This is a very good suggestion. Let's go to the suburbs this Saturday." Hastur proposed.
"No problem, my Hauge has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Haug is the name of the golden retriever dog raised by Gray Lint.
"What do you think about inviting Miss Audrey?"
"Of course. It's just time for my Hauge to compete with Susie to see who is smarter."
Gray Linte touched the head of the golden retriever Haug, looking very confident.
Hastur glanced at him with a look of imperceptible pity.
If I remember correctly, Susie should already be a Sequence 8 mind reader, right?
This golden retriever trained by Gray Lint would definitely not be Susie's opponent if compared to him.
Thinking of this, Hastur smiled and told Gray Lint to try his best to do some fancy things, such as walking upright with a plate in his mouth, walking on wheels, jumping through fire hoops, etc.
He was looking forward to how Susie would face it when the time came.
Before leaving Gray Lint's house, Hastur made an agreement with Gray Lint that he would be responsible for inviting Audrey.
This time Hastur plans to invite Earl Hall as well.
Since the last time he went to Earl Hall's house for a meeting, he had never contacted Earl Hall and Audrey again. This time was a good opportunity.
If he could take this opportunity to bribe Earl Hall, his briber's potion would be almost fully digested.
The Bribery sequence does not have many secrets for Hastur, and it is relatively easy and simple to play.
As for the promotion to Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron, we already have a clue. We just need to wait for Count Gill to die and then go and grab it from the Church of Steam.
Calculating the time, it’s almost time.
……
At night, Haas
The invitation to the Tower was delivered to Earl Hall's house.
The invitation was named for Audrey. Although Earl Hall knew about it, he did not stop it.
In the room, Audrey read the contents of the invitation, and then looked at Susie lying in the corner.
"Susie, Mr. Hastur invited us to visit the manor in the countryside, and you are also invited."
Susie said without raising her head: "I am not happy about this. On the contrary, I have always been a little afraid of Mr. Hastur."
"Why? Mr. Hastur is a very nice person."
"I didn't say there was anything bad about him, I just thought he was dangerous."
Audrey thought for a while and said, "Compared to Mr. Hastur or Gray Lint, who is more dangerous?"
"Graylint."
After Audrey's teaching, Susie has already remembered many people.
"Graylint was also invited to this trip to the suburban manor. He also said that he would cultivate a golden retriever that is smarter than you."
"Audrey, can I refuse?"
"No."
The corner of Audrey's mouth curved. The invitation mentioned that the golden retriever Haug trained by Gray Lint had many outstanding little skills, just like the performance of an acrobatic troupe.
It was a good opportunity to divert Susie's attention away from the book for a short period of time so as not to learn too much.
After chatting with Susie for a few words, Audrey got up and walked out of the room, heading to the room where Earl Hall was.
The invitation did indeed invite her to play in the suburban manor, but it also mentioned inviting Earl Hall.
In Audrey's opinion, this was the last time Mr. Hastur was frightened by the respected Earl Hall, so he chose to communicate with Earl Hall through her.
When Audrey explained her intention, Earl Hall was quite surprised and said, "He wants to invite me to hunt in the forest on the outskirts?"
"Yes, Baron Campbell also said that he recently trained a good hunting dog. Although it is still relatively young, it is already a good hunter."
"I may not have time this Saturday."
"Then I will help the busy Earl Hall refuse Baron Campbell's invitation."
"Forget it, I haven't gone out hunting for a long time. Some things can wait until next week to complete."
Audrey blinked and smiled: "Are you worried about your lovely daughter being alone in the suburbs?"
"I do have concerns about this, even though I have grown up."
"Then please, the respected Earl Hall has been busy and worried."
Finally, Audrey left with a smile.
On the way back to the room, she met Hibbert. After some questioning, when she learned that she was not invited on the invitation, Hibbert immediately said that he and Greco were going to visit the suburban manor this Saturday.
Such improvised reasons cannot be hidden from an audience at all.
But Audrey didn't expose it. When she returned to the room, she started writing a reply.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had written a serious reply to Mr. Hastur, and she needed to think about it carefully.
Chapter 200 Audrey’s reply
After thinking about it for about ten minutes, Audrey started to write.
"Mr. Hastur, thank you for your invitation. I have been wanting to go to the suburban manor to relax recently. Susie, she is also very happy about visiting the suburban manor."
As she wrote this, Audrey glanced at Susie who was resting on the ground with a guilty conscience. Seeing that it was not looking in her direction, she continued writing.
"Actually, Susie is not very interested in going to the suburban manor because Gray Lint is also there. She is wary and unhappy when facing an animal trainer. This is normal and not because of Susie. Hate you."
Although Susie doesn’t like you very much either…
She would not let Mr. Hastur know this, otherwise it would seem too disrespectful to Mr. Hastur.
No one but her knows that Susie is a mind-reading golden retriever who can also talk.
"Our family also has a large manor in the suburbs. Every autumn and winter, Earl Hall always likes to take us to live in the suburbs for a period of time, saying that he allows us to get close to nature, but Hibbert and I both know that he It’s because he likes to take hounds into the forest to hunt, which makes him feel like he’s back in his youth.”
"Whenever I live in a suburban manor, I always like to sit by the window and look at the ginkgo trees dyed yellow, watching the yellowed leaves break free from the constraints of the branches and fly in the air. It swirled and fell in pieces."
"It's very quiet. I think the forest is the quietest and most beautiful at this time. It's silent, but everything in front of you is shaking, as if to remind you that time is slipping away little by little."
“In addition to appreciating ginkgo leaves, strolling along the paths filled with fallen leaves is also a good experience. Whenever you see mushrooms of different colors hidden under the jungle on the roadside, it really makes you feel like you are walking into a fairy tale. The feeling of the world, if I could build a forest cabin made entirely of pea vines deep in the woods, then I would really like to live there and look up at the stars at night.”
"The starry sky in the forest is pure and vast, without too many thick clouds. This is completely different from Backlund. Only in the wild can you appreciate the true light of the stars."
Audrey stopped writing, and at the end she was a little stunned.
The purpose of my reply was just to thank Mr. Hastur for the invitation. It should be more formal, but why did I write so much content without knowing it?
And it looks a bit innocent and childish, with ginkgo leaves, small mushrooms, pea vines, looking up at the stars... just like a girl who hasn't grown up yet.
Audrey muttered slightly, but she was indeed not an adult yet.
I have to wait until December 12 this year, after going through the coming-of-age ceremony, to be considered an adult in a social sense.
Anyway, Mr. Hastur has already seen him acting coquettishly to his parents. It shouldn't matter if he occasionally tells the truth to Mr. Hastur, right?
Audrey held the middle section of the pen holder, with the top lightly touching her cheek. She tilted her head slightly and thought for a while, but in the end she did not modify this part of the content.
There must be someone who can tell the truth.
But living is too unfair.
As the content of the letter came to an end, Audrey mentioned that Earl Hall had accepted the invitation and that he would go to the suburban manor this weekend.
"Hibbert and Greco seem to be going to the countryside for some fun too."
After finishing writing, Audrey took another look at it. The handwriting was very beautiful. It was more steady and elegant than the handwriting written by Mr. Hasta, but a little less free and casual.
"Maybe it has something to do with personality."
Audrey murmured and looked at Susie who had woken up to read a book. She advised: "Susie, you've been a little nervous recently. It's better not to read too many books and go out for a walk more often, otherwise you will gain weight soon." ”
"Audrey, you have gained some weight recently."
"No way! Impossible!"
Audrey stood up and stretched out her hands to hold her waist. It was still so slender and had not gained weight at all!
There's no way she's getting fat either!
"A broad heart and a fat body. This is what I read in the book. Audrey, haven't you been in a good mood lately?"
"..."
Audrey was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Susie, you are wrong. I am not in a good mood at all because of your incident recently."
"Wang?"
……
In the nursing home, Klein and others, who had been observing hard for several days, finally waited for a notice from the church:
"It is not allowed to forcefully enter dreams to spy. If it will not cause any pollution, continue to choose to observe and try not to use violence to take any additional measures."
With the statement from the church's top leaders, Leonard also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the church insists on pursuing Chief Reed's dream, he will have to keep taking risks to pry into it.
Ever since he dreamed of the sea last time and smelled the fishy smell of the sea, he knew that this was not something they could solve.
The church asked them to come here to confirm the specific situation and whether there was a possibility of spread.
Choosing to stand on the sidelines is what the church truly stands for.
The three major churches have a tacit understanding on this matter, as if they want to observe something through the changes in Chief Reed.
"The last time the person who said he could see the future went crazy and died, just last night." After Klein arranged everything, the Beyonder from the Church of Steam and Mechanics suddenly mentioned.
"Dead?" Leonard came over curiously.
He had also heard that person's predictions about the future, especially when the person said that there would be five people to deal with the nursing home problem, his heart suddenly thumped.
If you include the old man inside him, there are indeed five people in their group.
