Hastur and Graylint naturally did not stop them and listened silently.
Fortunately, Earl Hall was very measured and took the initiative to skip some topics every time, which not only aroused the interest of Hastur and Gray Linte, but also did not arouse Audrey's resentment.
After resting for about an hour, Earl Hall stood up, blew a whistle, and led the three hounds toward the dense forest.
Seeing this, Greylint hurriedly followed. He had to
Seize the opportunity to hunt in the second half of the time and never come back empty-handed.
Audrey glanced at Susie, who had no fighting spirit or interest, and had no intention of continuing the hunt. She planned to stay here and take a walk around the area.
Hastur and the beagle headed towards Count Hall. Since he planned to give away the beagle, he naturally wanted to let Count Hall see its potential.
"Susie, let's take a walk."
"Wang."
Seeing that Audrey was no longer angry, Susie hurriedly followed Audrey's footsteps.
"Susie, do you think you will meet a witch living on a high tower in a forest like this?"
"Wang?"
"Susie, what do you think we go exploring where there are no people?"
"Wang."
"It's rare that you are also interested in this. Let's go."
Audrey chose a direction where the trees were taller, and Susie followed behind her, wagging her tail.
After walking forward for about twenty minutes, a faint mist seemed to rise around us.
Audrey didn't pay too much attention to it at first, but when she discovered that the attendants and maids behind her had disappeared without knowing it, and only Susie was by her side, she felt a sense of crisis.
Inside the forest, heavy fog will occasionally rise. As long as you don't move around randomly and stay where you are for a while, the fog will dissipate.
Once you wander around, it's easy to stray deeper into the forest.
"Susie, we seem to be in trouble."
Audrey frowned slightly as she looked at the thickening fog.
"Susie, what if we get trapped here and can't get back?"
"Will some mysterious creature suddenly appear and attack us?"
"Is it possible that we might encounter elves living deep in the forest?"
Audrey talked a lot, looking very worried about the situation at hand, but also looking forward to what would happen.
Susie came to Audrey's feet and was silent for a while before whispering: "Audrey, I still remember the way here."
"..."
Audrey's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
"You shouldn't put too much fantasy into a situation that is so obvious."
"..."
"It's impossible for elves to appear here."
"..."
Seeing that Susie was about to continue talking, Audrey interrupted what she was going to say next, "Susie, you are just a dog, you can't talk casually."
"Wang."
Susie gave a very knowledgeable bark, and the expression on Audrey's face became more complicated.
After almost five minutes, the attendants and maids came over from behind, and the surrounding fog gradually dispersed.
The so-called foggy environment ushered in reality at this moment.
Audrey looked at the increasingly clear scenery and sighed in disappointment.
She still hadn't waited for the adventure she'd dreamed of, let alone met the legendary elf.
……
At night, Hastur and others met at the entrance of the forest.
The one with the most hunting results was Earl Hall, Hastur was still in second place, and Gray Linte tied for third place with Audrey with a silly roe deer.
"You sure are a good beagle."
Earl Hall gave the beagle a very good evaluation, and Hastur also took this opportunity to give the beagle to Earl Hall to complete this bribery.
Chapter 204 Audrey’s Dream Adventure
It was getting late, and Audrey and Earl Hall just had dinner at Aster Manor and had no intention of staying here.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Audrey and Earl Hall took a carriage back to their suburban manor.
It's about half an hour's drive from Aster Manor.
Hastur sent Audrey and Earl Hall away, and when he came back, he saw Gray Lint squatting on the ground, stroking Haug's dog's head and whispering to it.
Hastur also saw the performance of Hauge and Graylint today. This really can't be blamed on Hauge for not being good at it. It is really because Graylint's marksmanship is too poor. He took aim for a long time several times and just shot. Missed.
In the end, Hauge captured the silly roe deer alone.
"Hasta, should I practice my marksmanship?"
"If you are interested, I have a club here that I can recommend to you."
Hasta told Graylint about the club where Grayk was introduced to him last time.
"Okay, I'll go take a look after a while."
After hearing these words, Hastur understood that Gray Lint would not go.
"Hasta, do you think Haug is smarter or Susie is more powerful?"
"Susie." Hastur gave his answer without hesitation.
"I feel the same way. I really don't know how Audrey trained Susie. I am obviously the animal trainer. Haug, who was trained by me myself, logically should not lose to Susie." Grayling Te sighed in confusion.
Hastur thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you should look for some more reasons in yourself."
What he actually meant by this was that Gray Linte did not have as much financial resources as Audrey, so it would be difficult for him to support an extraordinary creature.
It is estimated that being able to advance to Sequence 8 has already reached the top, and now Susie is already a mind reader of Sequence 8, the difference is not a tiny bit.
Another thing is that Hauge doesn't seem to be as smart as Susie.
"It's true that I didn't do well enough. I will definitely work harder when I go back."
Gray Lint regained his fighting spirit and confidence, and Hastur could only wish him good luck.
……
Late at night, in a suburban manor, there is a room where you can admire a large ginkgo tree by opening the window.
Audrey was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and Susie's nest was on the right side at the end of the bed, and it was also resting on the ground at the moment.
Mist, invisible fog spreads in the dream world.
Audrey felt like she was in a misty forest, where she was alone, and Susie, who had been with her, was nowhere to be seen.
The surrounding trees are different from those seen on ordinary days. They are not covered by leaves, only bare trunks are left.
The surroundings suddenly became lifeless, and all that was left was a scene of dying people.
Audrey was a little flustered, but besides that, she was also looking forward to it and eager to try.
She has been longing for such an adventure even before she stepped into the extraordinary world.
But except for the magic mirror incident, which made her meet Mr. Fool and join the Tarot Club, her world still hasn't changed much.
Daily life is still so ordinary, nothing new.
Now a mysterious and unknown journey is unfolding before her eyes. She is a little moved, but facing the unknown, she still
It is inevitable to feel fear.
She did not stay where she was, but kept walking forward.
As we go deeper, the fog becomes thicker, and the surrounding trees, with only their branches remaining bare, seem to gradually come to life.
The branches are arms, and they are waving in disorder, not knowing whether they are cheering for Audrey's arrival, or jumping for joy in order to have a feast later.
Audrey was a little scared at first. She stayed there and observed for a long time. Seeing that they had no intention of harming her, she slowly let go of her worries and moved on.
The main tree trunk, which was originally motionless, began to twist like a human body as the fog deepened.
They are like tall and twisted giants, fogging happily at this moment.
Whenever Audrey comes within a certain range, they will return to an immobile posture.
Audrey's eyes widened slightly. She really liked this scene. It was also in line with her fantasy of the extraordinary world.
Weird and mysterious.
The mysterious existence that lives in the depths of this misty forest could be a vicious cursed witch or a magical elf from myths and legends.
Audrey continued walking deeper with a hint of expectation, and she was also worried about whether she would encounter danger.
But now, her consciousness is awake, but she has been unable to wake up. Her consciousness seems to be pulled into a dream by some force and cannot escape.
"If I'm really in danger, I can seek help from Mr. Fool."
With this idea in mind, Audrey was cautious and vaguely expected to go deeper into the woods ahead.
Apart from trees or trees, I didn't see a single moving creature along the way.
She also didn't see scary witches and magical elves, all she saw was a weird forest shrouded in mist.
This foggy world seems to have no end and no boundaries. No matter which direction Audrey chooses to go, she will never encounter any special events.
This turned her initial expectation into disappointment.
The only good thing is that this misty world does not harm her ability, because this is her dream, and such changes only occur due to the influence of some extraordinary power.
"I can only wait until I wake up automatically tomorrow morning."
