Mystery: A Spark

However, it now seems that Miss Audrey provided the potion recipe and ingredients, but did not know what Arthur intended to use them for.

Arthas even had a bold guess in his mind: he felt that this Miss Audrey might not have even met Arthur.

Arthas only received the apprentice recipe and materials last month.

If Miss Audrey knew Arthur's identity, she would have realized it was him very quickly.

It won't be like before, where I thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who it was.

To be fair, Arthas thought Arthur's appearance was actually quite striking; at least it wasn't the kind of generic face you'd forget after seeing it once.

So it took a small step back and said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey, I have to return to my master and can't talk to you any longer. See you next time."

Arthas already had some guesses in his mind, so he wanted to go back to Arthur as soon as possible to verify them.

So it waved its little paws to say goodbye to Audrey and Susie, then turned and ran away quickly.

Audrey was unable to stop him and could only watch helplessly as Arthas left.

"Ugh... Is it really that urgent? At least satisfy my curiosity first," Audrey muttered under her breath.

But she didn't dwell on it for too long, because she was a viewer, and so was Susie.

Audrey believed that if this young gentleman from Alsace's master was indeed someone she knew.

So as long as the two viewers, Susie and I, deliberately search, we will eventually be able to find out who that person is.

"Susie, our main task from now on is to find out who Little Arthas's owner is." Audrey clenched her delicate little fist, setting a goal for herself and Susie.

“Okay, Audrey.” Susie was also curious about this, so she agreed without hesitation.

After recounting this, Audrey remembered why she had rushed here to find Susie.

She whispered the question that had been bothering her:

"Susie, how did you discover that the previous person was problematic?"

Susie vibrated the air as she answered in an equally soft voice:

"When he came in, I smelled something was off about his scent, so I paid closer attention."

"Later, we discovered that this person's behavior was slightly different from before, which confirmed that he had a problem."

Audrey patted Susie's head and said happily:

"Susie, you're amazing! You've been a huge help this time. I'll have to reward you properly when we get back."

"Audrey, what kind of reward is it?" Susie asked curiously.

"Hmm... I'll have Annie buy you lots of your favorite dog biscuits, how about that?"

"Ouch!"

Susie's tail wagged happily.

"By the way, Susie, did you remember the scent on little Arthas?" Audrey was reminded by how Susie found Qilingus and quickly thought of using Susie's sense of smell to help her find the owner of the little dog.

“Oh, Audrey, I just smelled a fragrance on it, and it smelled very reassuring,” Susie said, recalling the scent.

Scent? Could it be that Arthas's master is a woman? No, no, quite a few men also use perfume... Audrey quickly dismissed the idea in her mind, feeling that scent could not be used as a clue to confirm gender.

"Then Susie, you must remember this scent. When I get back, I'll take you to meet more people and see who that person really is."

Audrey thought for a moment and then said:

"Or next time you see that puppy, just ask it directly."

“Okay,” Susie said, wagging her tail.

......

In a house on Zotland Street in Tingen.

Arthur sat at his desk, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book at all.

Alas, it's a pity I won't be able to witness the famous scene of "God's Pigeon" being late tonight.

Otherwise, in that situation I would have insisted on painting one, and the title would be "The Dove of God in the Church"... He couldn't help but think as he looked out at the quiet night.

Although he sent Arthas there, it was still not as good as going there in person to see for himself, which made him feel extremely regretful.

Just as he was thinking this, Arthur suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

Then, a sinister, childish voice rang in his ear.

"Hurry up and tell me honestly, what exactly is your purpose in sending me to Backlund today? If you don't tell me, hmph..."

"What will you do if I don't tell you?" Arthur asked casually, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he turned a page of his book.

"If you don't tell me, you're in for a lot of trouble today," Arthas said, feigning ferocity.

It pressed its furry little paws against Arthur's neck as if they were some kind of sharp blade that could threaten a person's life.

Then he continued to threaten:

"Speak quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Arthur remained unmoved by its threat, and proceeded to instruct himself:

"You need to keep a closer eye on Blackthorn Security Company these next few days. If you find anything unusual, come back and tell me immediately."

Arthas's ability to travel between spirit realms allows him to go to many places without anyone noticing.

After Arthur taught it the breath-twisting technique he had learned from his instructor, the little guy became an excellent little scout.

"Oh." Arthas initially responded with a half-understanding, then quickly realized what he meant and said:

"No, you haven't answered my question yet."

Arthur reached out and grabbed the puppy from his shoulder, holding it in his hands and saying with a smile:

"If you want to know, get on good terms with them as soon as possible, and you'll find out naturally then."

Upon hearing this, Arthas immediately showed a look of disgust on his face.

"Eh~ You wouldn't be thinking of using me and Miss Susie as a link to more easily get close to Miss Audrey, in order to achieve some ulterior motive, would you?"

Although he said that, the puppy didn't really think Arthur would have such an intention.

Although Miss Audrey was very beautiful, it thought that its sister Bernadette, whom it had met before, was also very nice.

While aboard the Future, Arthas was often "borrowed" from Arthur by Bernadette.

She would teach Arthas all sorts of mystical knowledge and even make him call her "sister".

Of course, the puppies at that time hadn't been promoted yet, so naturally they couldn't speak.

Although it couldn't speak, it had already begun to remember things at that time.

Therefore, Arthas felt that since Arthur had been in contact with Bernadette first, even if he had feelings for her, they should have been for her.

Because Bernadette is not only beautiful but also powerful. In Arthur's words, once you've been to the ocean, you won't be attracted to any other water; once you've been to Wushan, you won't be attracted to any other cloud.

Although Arthas didn't know where Wushan and Canghai were, he understood the meaning.

It was precisely because it had been taught mystical knowledge by Bernadette that it began to slack off when Arthur tried to teach it these things later.

Because it can actually do all of these things.

Of course, in the process of catching fish while paddling, Alsace gradually felt a different kind of joy.

This is precisely the main reason why it gradually became lazy and even unwilling to get promoted.

Although Arthas didn't think Arthur would have such a purpose, to its surprise, Arthur actually nodded after thinking about it for a while.

"If we really want to calculate it, your statement isn't entirely wrong."

"Huh?" Arthas was taken aback upon hearing this.

Arthur smiled at the stunned puppy, but didn't explain further. Instead, he instructed:

"Don't forget what I just told you, it's very important."

"Oh, I know, you're so long-winded~" Arthas waved his little paw, indicating that he remembered.

After making sure the puppy remembered, Arthur stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

"You must be tired from playing today, Elbow. Let's go to sleep."

Alsace is not only fluffy, but also soft to hug.

Moreover, it has a night-blooming jasmine scent, which has a sleep-inducing and calming effect.

So after experiencing the benefits a few times, Arthur would always hold the puppy while sleeping and let it sleep with him.

Like a small cushion, Arthas's presence greatly improved Arthur's sleep.

You should know that in his previous life, he was a top-tier cultivator who would play games day and night.

Of course, the games referred to here are legitimate games.

So for a while after he first arrived, he really couldn't get any sleep unless he entered the trial illusion.

It wasn't until he met Arthas that Arthur was able to get a good night's sleep without entering the Trial Illusion.

……

Friday, Zotland Street, Blackthorn Security.

In the guardhouse in front of Chanis's house, Dunn, Leonard, and Luo Yao were playing cards together to pass the time.

Just then, the door to the guard room suddenly opened, and Klein walked in from outside.

"Captain, Leonard, I need to speak with you." He said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the three people playing cards in the room paused for a moment.

Dunn and Leonard glanced at Klein's expression and, knowing the gravity of the situation, both stood up.

Dunn turned to Luo Yao and said:

"Luo Yao, you keep watch over the Chanis Gate for a while, we'll be right back."

Although Luo Yao didn't know what had happened, he nodded and accepted Dunn's order.

The three left the guardhouse and went through the passageway at the crossroads to the Church of St. Serena.
