"An existence that embraces everything..."

Before the prayer was over, Klein had already focused his attention on the gray mist, hoping to hear voices coming from the depths.

For this reason, he spread out a large number of monster secret puppets that he secretly controlled and walked in the darkness around him, and placed one at a certain distance, so as not to let go of any suspicious traces.

But until the ceremony was completed, he didn't notice anything abnormal.

After waiting for a while, Klein turned his attention to Nim, the high priest of Moon City, and said flatly, "One more time."

����

Backlund, Queens, in Hall's study.

After getting permission, Audrey pushed open the door and walked in. Her father, Earl Hall, and elder brother Hibbert were discussing something.

"Oh, baby, you don't seem to be looking well?" Earl Hall turned his gaze to the door.

Audrey was useless to act, she smiled sincerely and said: "There is a big shortage of food for the poor fund, I want to raise some more, I visited many nobles today, but they all told me that there is no more food left Yes, even if you buy it with gold pounds."

When saying these words, those nobles were either in the small living room, or in a place dedicated to afternoon tea, with high-quality black tea and a variety of exquisite desserts in front of them. From time to time, they asked Audrey to comment on the words of the pastry chef at home. cooking.

Their servants had ruddy faces and walked very lightly, barely making a sound so as not to disturb the distinguished guests.

"The current situation..." Earl Hall sighed upon hearing this.

Audrey thought for a while and said seriously: "Dad, I remember that there should be a lot of food at home, can I buy some of it with money?"

"Audrey, you've already done too much, you don't need to do this anymore." Hibbert Hall frowned slightly, and said, but Audrey just looked at her father and didn't respond to her brother's words. respond.

Earl Hall's relaxed expression after his daughter's arrival gradually turned serious: "Audrey, the premise of charity is not to affect the lives of yourself and your family. This is a principle I hope you will keep in mind."

Audrey, who was wearing a gold-and-white long dress, frowned and stretched her brows slightly, and said sincerely: "Father, the grain hoarded at home is enough for everyone in this house to feed for a whole year, or even more, and, There is still a lot of food in East Chester County."

Because Cold Winter County has not yet completely fallen, the Feysac army that invaded through Jianhai County did not attack East Chester County, and the Feysac, Intis, and Fenepot fleets at sea were captured by several Ruen forces. Suppressed by an armored fleet, they can only barely move around to protect the supply line at sea.

Earl Hall looked into his daughter's emerald green eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed and said with a smile: "Audrey, you have really grown up, you have your own ideas and you have persisted.

"However, none of us know how long this war will last, or what the final outcome will be. We must reserve a lot of food to deal with all this.

"I can live with two less delicious dishes per meal to help those who are in need, but I don't want my table to be like the middle class that the newspapers say, which will completely lose us as aristocrats decency, which is what we have been clinging to every generation.

"Do you understand what I mean? I just made a metaphor. The essence of the matter is that I pay more attention to the survival and future of the family, and to our identity and status. I only show my love and kindness.

"Audrey, what I said may be cruel, but you have grown up, it's time to listen. Everyone is selfish, but to different degrees. In my heart, the importance of the entire Hall family is More than me and your mother, more than you, more than Hibbert and Alfred, beyond these, there are firstly beliefs and good friends, followed by acquaintances, and finally people who need relief all over Backlund.

"I don't mind helping them if it doesn't affect the previous ones, but unfortunately, I have to think about more things now."

Having said that, Earl Hall shook his head mockingly: "I'm sorry to let you know that your father is such a selfish person."

In the process of listening to her father's words intently, Audrey's expression changed slightly at first, and then disappeared. Until the end, there was no additional emotion displayed.

At this time, she was silent for a while, and asked again: "...But we have already obtained too much, much more than we need, so we can't even get a part of it?"

Hibbert Hall interjected a little angrily: "Why should we distribute what we have worked so hard to get to others?

"This is produced in our fields, pastures, and woodlands. We bought it with gold pounds, and the money and assets are passed down from the family. It was earned by my father with precise vision and strong courage. It is a generation Accumulated from generation to generation.

"We do charity to help others to show extra love, not what we have to do, understand?" JrNovels.com
