He said that he would learn more about the relevant knowledge after returning.
With the chat between Miss Justice and Little Sun, the scene became lively again, changing the previous uneasy and dull atmosphere.
Forsi, who rarely speaks, also shared some daily news about his good friend Xio.
There was no way she could do it. She had been staying at home to avoid the turmoil among Backlund's Star Believers. She basically didn't go out on weekdays, so naturally she wouldn't encounter anything new.
Only when Xio comes back will he tell her the latest situation about Backlund.
Derrick also shared some of his experiences in Silver City during this period.
After the three people shared their experiences during this period, the scene seemed to cool down again.
Audrey wanted to change this situation, but she didn't know what to say.
Forsi didn't care about this atmosphere. Now, she was just thinking about whether Mr. Hanged Man, who was suspected of being a pirate, had done too many bad things and was arrested.
Derrick looked at Mr. Fool and then at Miss Justice.
He was also very uncomfortable without the familiar and warm-hearted Mr. Hanged Man.
"That's it for this party."
Klein has no intention of actively bringing up the topic. He is the mysterious and great Mr. Fool. Although he is very interested in many things that happened in Backlund, his identity restricts him from mentioning these trivial matters. .
It would be great if I had my own trumpet in Tarot meetings.
In this way, when encountering something in the future, such as the less successful Tarot Club like today, he can come forward to liven up the atmosphere.
……
After this unsuccessful tarot session ended, Audrey lay on the bed, feeling a little depressed.
She seemed to lack abilities in many aspects. For example, Mr. Hanged Man was not here today, and she originally wanted to assist Mr. Fool in hosting this week's Tarot Club.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of mysticism is limited, and I don't have many stories or information to tell, so it can easily make the atmosphere awkward.
This is not good. She must start to learn to stand alone, so that even if Mr. Hanged Man is not around, she can still be someone that everyone is willing to believe.
After resting for a while, Audrey got up and opened the door. Susie, who was waiting at the door, couldn't wait to run in.
After Audrey closed the door again, Susie lowered her voice and said, "Audrey, Mr. Hastur was here just now."
"Mr. Hastur, why is he here?" Audrey was a little nervous.
"Don't worry, I blocked him out just now and didn't come in to disturb you." Susie was taking credit.
"Susie, you're awesome!"
Seeing Audrey so happy, Susie also took the opportunity to make her request.
"What, you want the book "The Complete Sayings of Emperor Russell"!"
"Yes, I think you should reward me with something."
"..."
Audrey silently touched Susie's dog head and said, "Susie, you have changed, you are really different."
"Audrey, is this a good thing?"
Audrey didn't answer the question, which should be a good thing for Susie, but for her, it didn't seem so good.
Especially now, Susie knows how to ask for credit first, and then
Then make your own request.
It's really going to become a sperm!
When dinner was approaching, Hastur walked out of the guest room. He slept for about three hours and felt full of energy.
When I came to the restaurant on the first floor, I met Susie lying on the ground resting, and I greeted her enthusiastically.
Susie raised her tail, left in a panic, and quickly ran to Audrey's side.
"So afraid of me? Did I do something to Susie?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Hastur could almost guess what Susie was thinking.
It was probably because he was afraid that when he was alone with him, he would see that he was not an ordinary golden retriever, but an extraordinary dog that was a Sequence 8 mind reader.
After enjoying dinner, Hasta finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Audrey.
He had not heard Audrey tell her in detail about the adventures she had experienced, and he was very interested in it.
At the garden stone table, Hastur sat opposite Audrey, and Susie lay on her side at Audrey's feet. Not far behind, there were two maids guarding Audrey.
After the last accident, Earl Hall was particularly concerned about Audrey's safety. If Audrey hadn't actively refused, she would have eight personal maids now.
She didn't want to be followed by a lot of people wherever she went. In this case, she would feel very awkward and unfree.
"Mr. Hastur, doesn't he know what happened to me?"
When Hastur asked about her adventure story, Audrey chose to ask a rhetorical question.
"I just have a little speculation that this should be related to your spiritual world."
"anything else?"
"That white tower should be related to the spiritual dragon."
"Psychic dragon?" Audrey pretended not to understand, blinking her eyes that were confused and hungry for new knowledge.
Hastur just briefly introduced this topic.
If you just wanted to win Audrey's trust, it would be too simple. You only need to tell her about dancing alone on the top of a tower.
"Ok."
Seeing that Hastur kept avoiding how he helped her, Audrey could only pick up the topic and start telling stories about her adventures.
When he heard Audrey say she saw him and Susie, Hastur understood the key.
The fog in the forest contains a little bit of the power of the spiritual dragon. With Susie as the anchor, Audrey, who is in the spiritual world, can see her and Susie's actions.
That's why Audrey could follow herself and Susie to find the silver-white tower, and then climb to the top of the tower to leave the spiritual world.
So the question is, why couldn't Audrey find the silver-white tower when she was alone?
Such eye-catching buildings should be even more dazzling in the misty forest described by Audrey.
There seems to be only one answer, Audrey is lost.
She was like a headless fly wandering around until she and Susie appeared to point her in the right direction.
Hey, why did I suddenly feel a little pity in Mr. Hastur's eyes?
Audrey glanced at Hastur in confusion. Before she could ask, Hastur's words attracted her attention.
"Have you ever seen the islands sticking out of the sea?"
Chapter 210 The breath of war from the Southern Continent
This question came a bit out of nowhere, and Audrey didn't dwell on the meaning of that pity look just now.
"I've only traveled offshore. I've seen some pictures of islands deep in the sea." Audrey answered honestly.
"If the human inner world is compared to the sea, what do you think the islands above the water symbolize?"
Hasta deliberately explained some relevant knowledge to Audrey. After listening to Audrey's story this time, he realized how dangerous her adventure story was.
Fortunately, this is a spiritual world that is harmless, if it is a spiritual world filled with all kinds of dark emotions and thoughts.
Every twisted tree will become a deadly weapon!
There is also a serious problem of choosing to walk in any direction without being able to confirm your position, resulting in getting lost.
In the mysterious world, every negligence may be accompanied by the danger of death. Audrey's yearning for adventure stories is a very dangerous signal.
This is another side of her innocence and kindness that has not seen the horror of the world.
Hasta didn't want to say too much originally, but for the sake of Audrey's safety, she had to let Audrey know the horror of the spiritual world. The extraordinary world was not as simple as she thought, let alone a fairy tale. story.
"Islands symbolize the anchor points that stabilize the spiritual world?" Audrey has done some research in this area and gave a pretty good opinion.
"If the sea never belongs to one person, and everyone's consciousness is just a drop of water in the sea, what does the island symbolize in this case?"
Audrey was a little unsure and said: "A temporary safe haven?"
"The raging waves and the reefs hidden deep in the sea, what do they each symbolize?"
"Violent mood swings and subconsciousness." Audrey was relatively confident about this issue.
"A spiritual world is just an island in the vast sea. So what do you think it would be like for you to wander around in an unknown spiritual world?"
"..."
Only then did Audrey understand the purpose of Mr. Hastur's roundabout words.
He was trying to remind himself that his previous adventures were reckless and dangerous.
If you leave the safe island, or the island itself is about to be submerged by the sea, then your behavior will make no difference to seeking death.
Audrey blushed slightly, feeling hot, ashamed, and scared.
"The extraordinary world is scary and dangerous, and the spiritual world is even more complicated, treacherous and changeable. In short, try to be careful."
Hasta only said this, and then talked to Audrey about how he took Susie on the adventure.
After the chat, Hastur said goodbye to Audrey and Earl Hall, and took a carriage to Greco's manor.
……
Backlund, West End.
Klein, who had already established a foothold in the Nighthawks team, began to search for traces of Lanerwus.
During this period of time, he had been busy dealing with other things, which prevented him from being free to deal with Lanerwus' matter.
Compared to Ince Zangwill, Lanevus is a
A relatively easy enemy to deal with.
Klein had been to the Brave Bar last time, and with Leonard's incident, he had a deeper understanding of this bar.
He met Kaspers as he wished and told him that he was introduced by the old man.
