Backlund, Empress Borough, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey sat on a soft stool, considering how to complete Mr. Fool's commission. Soon, she thought of two ways: one was to ask Xio and Fors, and commission Mr. A, whom she had met before.
Although Mr. A's gaze was annoying, he should be a very powerful Beyonder.
The other way was to entrust it to Hobert. Of course, with Hobert's strength, it seemed that he could not complete the assassination commission, but he was the eldest son of General Christian, and he had extensive connections in Backlund's Beyonder world. He should have certain channels to re-delegate the task, and at worst, pay some intermediary fees.
After a little hesitation, Audrey prepared to take the path of Xio and Fors first. Just as she was about to write letters to the two ladies, she realized a very crucial problem: she knew very little about Intis Ambassador Becquerel. In this case, it was easy to misjudge the difficulty of the task, and then entrust it to an inappropriate person.
After pondering for a moment, Audrey turned to the maid Annie and said, "I accept Countess Caliari's invitation and will attend the ball she is holding tonight on time."
Caliari is the Countess of Wolfe. Her upcoming ball will invite ambassadors from various countries stationed in Loen, including Intis Ambassador Becquerel.
Originally, Audrey had refused the invitation, but out of politeness, she would inform the ball organizer a few hours before the ball that she could not come because she had something to do.
According to convention, the servants have not yet informed the Countess of Wolfe of this news.
Audrey decided to observe Ambassador Bakerland first, collect enough information, and then meet with Xio and Fors.

15 Minsk Street. Klein, who had returned to the real world from the 'Sefirah Castle', opened the curtains and sat at his desk, thinking about his current situation.
First of all, from the information provided by 'Emperor' last week, and from this week's diary, it was determined that the Secret Order had close cooperation with the Intis Republic, and it was also understood that the iron-black nematode that sneaked into his room last night to check the information he left on the desk was the work of a 'Seer' pathway Beyonder.
The task of assassinating the ambassador has also been commissioned. I just don't know if it will be successful. In short, he has done everything possible to deal with it. Whether he can survive this crisis can only depend on fate.
Klein looked at the fog outside the window that had finally dissipated, and decided to go to the 'Bravehearts Bar' again tonight to see if he could meet other Beyonders and lay the foundation for choosing a bodyguard.
After confirming his thoughts, Klein read the newspaper and waited for the sky to darken.
...
Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver
Derrick returned to his dim room and stared blankly at the lightning in the sky outside for a while.
He tried to imagine what the sea looked like, and tried to imagine the feeling of swimming in the sea.
Thinking about it, a burst of sadness appeared in his heart again.
If he didn't know the outside world, he wouldn't be so sad, but the problem is, he knows it, but he can't touch it.
"Lord! Please send down your light to guide your devout believers!"
Derrick's 'praise' immediately filled the room with light, and he seemed to gain courage from the light: With Mr. Fool's guidance, and with the help of Mr. Emperor and the others, I am closer to hope than other people in City of Silver.
So he tidied up his clothes and prepared to go to the training ground to train first, and strive to pass the instructor's assessment. As long as he passed the assessment, he could be assigned to the patrol team.
As long as he starts serving City of Silver, he can earn merits and exchange merits for extraordinary materials to repay the Emperor's debts.
After training, he also planned to go to the library to find more descriptions about Sequence 3 Saints.
Derrick tried to put on a smile: Hahaha, life is full of hope again.
...
Backlund, 192 Blanca Street.
Hobert returned to his room. The weather was not very good today. It seemed like it was going to rain.
Hobert put on another piece of clothing for himself and prepared to return to the law firm to work until he got off work.
Over the past few days, the work of their team has gradually become regular, and there are no more backlogged letters.
After continuous publicity in the newspapers, people come to entrust them every day, but most of the people who come here to entrust them are workers or farmers, and some consumers want to get justice.
Hobert's place seems to be more lively than the labor union and the consumer association.
Arnold did not allow the reporter who was invited to listen in to smear Hobert and Bob, because more and more nobles were tired of his actions, which made him afraid to express any opinion on this matter.
So the media's praise for Hobert's victory was all praise, which made Hobert truly become a "well-known lawyer".
This week, Hobert's team will have eight cases open in succession. Jessica and the others have just taken over this type of case, and may not be very proficient yet. At the beginning, Hobert needs to go to court with them to help them design defense plans.
Walking on the foggy streets, Hobert sighed, another busy week!
As soon as he arrived at the law firm, Jessica told Hobert that there were two private letters for him.
Hobert asked Jessica to sit opposite him, first discussed the details of the court hearing tomorrow with her, and finally he reminded her meaningfully: "Your eloquence is already very good, there is no need to use other abilities, you must know that many judges are true 'Judges'."
Jessica was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
After Jessica left, Hobert went to read the two letters from Tingen City. It turned out to be a reply from Elizabeth, and a letter from Selena.
Hobert first opened Elizabeth's letter. The little girl first thanked Hobert for his concern, then congratulated Hobert on his success, and then mentioned the death of Melissa's relatives, which was a blow to Melissa.
Finally, Elizabeth said she was very sorry for revealing Hobert's address to Selena, because Selena had asked her many times, and almost followed her behind.
Opening Selena's letter, the words were full of admiration for Hobert, and envy for Hobert's extensive knowledge. She actually wrote three pages of letter paper.
Hobert sighed: Why only three pages?
Then he sighed: Compared to Elliott, Selena has more potential to be a fanatical believer!
At the end of this letter, Selena expressed her hope to invite Hobert to be her mentor in mysticism.
Hobert thought that he would play the role of "Mentor of Disorder" in the future, and now he can accept a apprentice to prepare for future performances.
Opening the fountain pen, Hobert first replied to Elizabeth, first greeted her parents, then said that he would reply to Selena, and finally Hobert invited Elizabeth to bring Melissa to Backlund to relax.
Then he replied to Selena, but did not immediately agree to be her mentor, only said that he could answer some of her doubts in mysticism, and warned her not to contact any friends of her previous mentor again.
He gave the reply to Jessica and asked her to help send it out.
After get off work, Hobert thought that Fors was going to attend an author's salon tonight and was not at home, and Xio was busy tracking Rafter and was not eating at home either, so he happily decided to go to a restaurant for a good meal.
Just after sitting down in the restaurant, Hobert saw the middle-aged man dining at the table not far away, who turned out to be Mr. Azik, who had a bronze complexion and soft features.
