Lilith blinked, "What's a bad guy?"
"This... To Lilith, anyone who wants to hurt you is a bad person and an enemy! Regardless of their position or identity, no matter who they are!"
"When dealing with enemies, let alone destroying their bodies, it is not too much to chop them into pieces. ~幻.想/姬+ ?勉_废`岳+黩` But you must also remember that if you encounter some enemies that are too strong to defeat for the time being, you must know how to give in. As the saying goes, a cat's revenge is never too late after a thousand years! As long as you are alive, you will have the opportunity for revenge, do you understand?"
She nodded thoughtfully, "Oh ~ I understand ~"
"How clever!"
Lilith raised her chin: "Of course, Miss Lilith is..."
"The smartest cat in the world, huh?"
The second half of the sentence was Audrey's voice, coming from the leather bag.
"Huh?"
Lilith put her head towards Edward's waist: "Audrey, you're here."
"Yeah, I heard Lilith bragging when I got here. Open the door."
Before Edward could do anything, Lilith took the leather bag off her mouth, jumped onto the bed, and used her feet to unfold the bag. As soon as Audrey climbed up, she found herself on Edward's bed, so she took off her shoes, stepped out of the bag, and sat on the bed.
She must have just got up. She was wearing a simple green dress and even slippers. Her crystal white toes were as pink as Lilith's pads.
Lilith jumped onto her lap and called out, "Morning, Audrey."
"Morning, Miss Lilith."
Edward asked curiously, "What's wrong? You came to see me so early in the morning."
"One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Audrey picked up Lilith and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Uh, bad news?"
She said, "Dad invites you to attend the dinner at the Hall family this weekend."
"ah."
Edward's heartbeat paused, but then he remained calm, "How is this bad news? What about the good news?"
Audrey still smiled and repeated: "Dad invites you to attend the dinner at the Hall family this weekend. +x\d·w¨xt^x,t¨.`c?om,"
"?"
Edward typed a question mark in confusion, but soon understood what she meant. He coughed and said, "Well, it's good news indeed."
Audrey moved her legs closer, "Do you know why I say it's bad news?"
Edward was stunned. Could it be... the old-fashioned novel about despising the poor and loving the rich?
Earl Hall was the first to attack, Mrs. Hall was sarcastic, the nobles were sarcastic, and then the conflict broke out, and finally the Dragon King returned...
Audrey had no idea that he had so much inner drama, so she explained:
"Because when the dinner comes, someone will definitely ask me to dance, and that 'someone' could be someone else or you."
"But, can you dance?"
This was indeed a question for Edward.
When he was promoted to a master of magic, his body's dexterity and flexibility were enhanced to a certain extent, so learning ballroom dancing was naturally much easier for him than for ordinary people, but the prerequisite was to learn it.
But so far, his dancing experience is still basically zero.
Thinking of this, Edward stretched out his hand to her:
"Then... starting from today, I'll have to trouble Teacher Audrey Hall to teach me how to dance every day."
"Well, there are still three days until the banquet. I will teach you the steps and techniques of ballroom dancing in the first two days, and on the third day, we will focus on practicing the music for the banquet. Good luck."
"So, let's start now?"
Audrey pursed her lips and said, "How can we dance so early in the morning? Besides, I have something else to do later."
"What's up?"
"This was an appointment we made before returning to Hogwarts. I'm going to Backlund's mental hospital at noon to visit the patients there."
Got it.
The condolences are fake, the acting is real.
"How much of your psychiatrist's potion do you need to digest?"
"The last little paragraph."
Audrey frowned and looked a little worried. "I found that the further I went, the slower my digestion progressed. What's wrong with that?"
In the original novel, Audrey digested the psychiatrist potion mostly by treating Klein. Although Klein was only around Sequence 5 at that time, he had the status bonus of the Source Castle after all, so she completed the digestion without realizing it.
And now, because of her advanced sequence progress, Klein is far from needing psychological treatment. If there were not a large number of students and prisoners of Azkaban returning to Hogwarts this time, Audrey might have to stay at Sequence 7 for quite a long time.
She then continued, "However, there is no need to be too anxious. The formula for Sequence 6 won't be available for a while anyway."
The formulas above the sequence in the audience channel are basically firmly in the hands of the Psychological Alchemy Society. Although the Psychological Alchemy Society has begun to approach Audrey, even if she can pass the review and join the Psychological Alchemy Society, it will be difficult for her to obtain the sequence 6 formula in a short period of time.
Edward thought for a moment and said, "In the next period of time, I will try to ask some big guys."
These big guys are naturally referring to strong people like Bernadette, the Sacred One of Steam and Machinery.
"If I still can't find the formula after you digest the Psychologist potion, I will try to find a mid-sequence Beyonder from the Psychological Alchemist Society, pry open his mouth, and get the formula."
Audrey hesitated: "Is this too risky?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely put my own safety first." Edward snorted, "Humph, the old man who attacked me during the last hunt for Butis was most likely the demigod of the Psychological Alchemy Society. I haven't taken revenge on him yet."
"Okay, then you must be careful. If you need gold pounds, feel free to contact me."
"no problem."
Audrey gave a few more instructions before going back, and Lilith followed her to play with Susie.
The room suddenly became quiet. Edward was a little uncomfortable for a moment. He thought about it and silently chanted the name of the messenger bird.
The next moment, a huge bird with increasingly fiery red feathers tore through the air and flew out from the spirit world. It was now larger in size, and if it continued to flap its wings and hover in the air as before, it would become like an electric fan.
So he landed on the desk, with his long tail feathers hanging in the air, and looked at Edward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I need you to take me to the spirit world."
"where?"
"Um, the place you took me to last time?"
"Okay~"
It was about to take off, and Edward asked again, "By the way, do you know about the spirit world shuttle?"
The messenger bird nodded: "I know."
There was a clear flash of disdain in its eyes. "That is a very unwelcome spiritual creature. They have no fixed place to live and often like to break into other creatures' territories to cause trouble. But because they are very fast and can flash over short distances, many people have no way to deal with them."
"Where are you now?"
"It's no match for me!"
Its first words were very confident, but it immediately added: "But if it escapes, I can't catch it."
"So do you think your brainless friend can catch the spirit traveler?"
"OK."
The messenger bird hesitated and said, "But they would never mess with someone like her."
Oh, they are just a bunch of street urchins who bully the weak and fear the strong, right?
"I see, thank you. Let's go."
It flew to Edward, and as it grabbed his clothes with its claws, everything around it suddenly became dark and colorful.
The next second, Edward came to a magical world, which was filled with illusory and transparent objects with indescribable shapes. All the colors became bright and distinct but overlapped, and the gray mist was so light that it permeated everything.
In the depths and in the sky, seven bright lights of different colors are slowly swimming. They seem to have life and contain endless knowledge.
These should be the seven lights of the spiritual world. Although the seven bright lights are always located high up and cover the "sky", they can often be seen under your feet, to the left, right, front and back. This illustrates the chaotic and disorderly nature of the spiritual world.
As he moved forward, Edward could sense various vague gazes from time to time. He decisively gave in and refused to look them in the eye. Klein had mentioned when he first entered the spirit world that once one made eye contact with certain spirit creatures, it could be considered a provocation, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
I don't know how long it took, but the surrounding scene began to change. The spiritual creatures that were scattered everywhere became increasingly scarce, until the outline of a huge city appeared in the distance, and the surroundings suddenly became dead silent.
City?
Edward was startled, and suddenly remembered that the last time he came to the spirit world, there seemed to be all kinds of broken walls around him, like the ruins of buildings. He didn't think much about it at the time.
Now that he thought about it, Edward could only think of one city in the spirit world.
Ciudad Calderon.
Chapter 273 The Dried-Up River of Eternal Darkness
That was the kingdom of the phoenix Greygari, who once ruled the god of death. It is said that when a living being enters Calderon, it will naturally transform into the dead and become undead directly.
But last time, I stayed in there for such a long time and didn't feel anything... Oh yes, I was planning to walk around, but the spirit immediately stopped me - it would be dangerous once I was too far away from the messenger.
It seems that this messenger is indeed extraordinary. Could he really be the descendant of the Phoenix Greygari... or even a reincarnation?
While he was thinking, the messenger bird had already taken him through the outskirts of the city and arrived above the city of Calderon. He saw at a glance that there seemed to be an almost dried-up river in the darkness, and countless dead souls were wandering on the dry riverbed.
On both sides of it, huge and pale stone pillars were vaguely visible, which were very similar to those in the city of Calderon, but more exaggerated.
Edward's face changed. Could this be the River of Eternal Darkness (tributary)?
But how could it dry up? ! !
"arrive."
At this time, Edward's feet were on solid ground again, and they came to the abandoned and collapsed wall they had been to last time.
Edward asked hurriedly, "Do you know the river in this city?"
"Know."
