Putting down the telegram, her joy subsided, and real-life worries began to surface.
"I still owe Mr. Fool information on the
Lifting the fountain pen and dipping it in ink, Audrey suddenly paused her hand, unable to write.
She had just thought of a very critical issue: she knew very little about the Intis Ambassador Beklang himself. In this situation, it was easy to misjudge the difficulty. She might not find anyone willing to accept the commission, or she might entrust it to an unsuitable person, causing the mission to face failure from the very start.
As for the increased payment involved, that wasn't her main concern. She believed Mr. Fool's reward would be even better and more helpful to her.
After thinking for a moment, Audrey turned to her maid,
"Tell Countess Galiya that I accept the invitation and will attend her ball tomorrow evening on time."
Galiya was the wife of Count Wolff. Her upcoming ball had invited the ambassadors of all countries stationed in Loen, including Beklang Jean Martin.
Audrey had originally planned to decline on the pretext of illness, but now she was very interested in the ball.
I'll observe Ambassador Beklang first, gather enough intelligence, and then meet with Xio and Fors! Audrey suddenly felt the excitement of participating in a major event and starting her long-dreamed-of adventurous life!

Returning to the real world,
He stopped in front of a house that had no garden or lawn, took out a common white hard-shell mask, and put it on his face.
Following this, he reached out and knocked on the door: three hard knocks, two soft ones, with intervals of two long and two short.
After waiting for over ten seconds, the door creaked open. A man wrapped in a pirate bandana stuck his head out, quickly looking left and right.
"Come in." The man stepped aside and said in a deep voice.
Alger didn't speak, quietly stepping into the house.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.

15 Minsk Street. Klein opened the curtains and sat down at his desk.
The information on the Secret Order given by The Hanged Man made him realize that the target was likely still connected to the Intis Republic. At the same time, he recalled The Hanged Man's earlier description of the
The Beyonder who used iron-black wireworms to sneak into my room last night, peek at the information, and leave a warning was indeed acting a bit eerie... The sequence chain the Antigonus family masters is exactly the same as the Secret Order's "Seer" pathway, and the two can be equated... In other words, I can make this guess: Was that Beyonder last night a member of the Secret Order acting as a spy for the Intis Republic on the side? Or did they not belong to the Secret Order but obtained the corresponding recipe and potion through the connection between the Intis Republic and the Secret Order? Klein began to boldly hypothesize and carefully verify:
"This explains why my 'Clown' intuition didn't work when the eerie wireworms invaded. It was caused by the suppression of a higher sequence being from the same pathway on me... Of course, it could also be because the iron-black wireworms didn't pose any real threat to me..."
"Similarly, it explains why, just after I finished writing down the information on
After repeatedly deliberating, Klein felt that his guess was most likely close to the truth.
"If it really is a higher sequence of the 'Seer' pathway, what sequence would he be, and what is the name of his potion? Since he can control iron-black wireworms, could he be another big shot from the '
Maybe my subsequent potion recipe will come from him... Is this the true meaning of the revelation my divination gave me?
He had already entrusted the mission to assassinate Intis Ambassador Beklang and completely eradicate the hidden danger. He had to keep his distance and, besides, he lacked the ability.
After leaking Ian Wright's whereabouts to both sides, he believed Ambassador Beklang wouldn't have time to retaliate against him in the short term or cause any additional trouble.
Finding the very important item he mentioned was obviously what he cared about and focused on the most.
"In other words, until that item is found, I am safe. There's no need to rush to hire a powerful Beyonder bodyguard... Hmm, even if he retaliates later, the Ambassador can't hire high-sequence Beyonders to deal with me. It's neither economical nor necessary, after all, Backlund isn't his home turf..."
