As for what happened next, Xia De didn't need to be involved. His mission is to get Steve Event, who is carrying the [Metamorphic Ring], out of here, out of the normal monitoring post, out of the densely populated mansion.
The leaving maid will guide him to where he should go, and the maid, Miss Tifa Servitt, will be there waiting for him.
Of course, Ivant couldn't be killed right now to avoid disturbing the cultists. The maid naturally has a way to replace the real ring with a fake one, and make Ivante temporarily forget what he has experienced. As for the specific method used, that is something Miss Galina needs to worry about, and it has nothing to do with Xia De.
The plan was implemented very smoothly. Xia De only needs to wait for the signal, and then meet the maid in the courtyard of the mansion, and then he can leave openly.
While he was relieved, he began to worry about another big adventure for a while.
He walked to the innermost part of the restaurant non-stop, spent a large sum of gold pounds from the maid, and got the two items he bought. It will take some time for the maid to deal with Steve Evant, and during this period, Shad had better find a safe place to wait patiently.
The lesson of Lake View Manor made Xia De understand that wandering around will greatly increase the probability of encountering bad luck. Especially tonight is another **** calling ceremony, he needs to be more careful.
The auction venue in the restaurant couldn't stay any longer. When Yvant came back, he might think of something because he saw Shad again.
"You definitely can't go to the third floor, and there seem to be many big people on the second floor. You can't go to the courtyard either. It reminds me of the Lake View Manor, so I still have to go to the first floor."
Thinking in his heart, he took the two priceless auction items he bought to the first floor. The banquet still followed the buffet-style service, and Xia De didn't serve any food here, so as not to accidentally eat strange things in his stomach.
But he still stood by the table full of food for a while, pretending to be curious about the fruit salad on the table:
"Is there something wrong with these foods?"
Curiously asked the female voice in my heart.
[This distance, I don't feel a problem. 】
So pretending to be inadvertent, he wiped the trace of dark liquid on the tablecloth with his finger.
"What now?"
[There is a very slight strange feeling, but I can't tell what kind of manipulation has been done to the food. 】
"it is as expected."
Standing alone in a corner makes yourself look weird. So took a look on the ground floor and ended up joining a group of people watching others play Rhodes.
This time, by accident, he didn't meet that kind of acquaintance who could strike up a conversation at will, and Xia De just stood in the crowd and didn't speak. As for the special cards that both sides of the game have, he doesn't care at all, he just wants to leave here as soon as possible.
There were not many Rhodes card lovers in this banquet, and most of them came for the two extremely expensive special cards that were auctioned off at the end. Xia De didn't look out of place standing here, and those who came to watch and then left didn't look out of place.
Therefore, when a strange middle-aged man came to Xia De's side and watched the ongoing game with Xia De, Xia De didn't pay much attention.
But the voice in his ear really surprised him:
【Don't move your eyes, just look in front of you. 】
"What?"
[Don't change your expression too much. 】
Xia De squinted his eyes and looked at the game, a little surprised in his heart:
[It's not that serious, you have a high-ring warlock by your side. 】
"Oh, it's just a ring warlock."
With a sigh of relief, he could see the middle-aged man beside him out of the corner of his eye. He was wearing the same black formal suit as Shad, but he was slightly taller than Shad, with a medium build, neither fat nor thin.
Because he couldn't observe directly, Shad couldn't see more details. It was only after being reminded by the voice in my heart that I suddenly realized that this stranger had a very unique temperament.
The so-called temperament is actually difficult to define, but when Xia De noticed him, that strange feeling came to his heart, as if a huge mountain stood beside him, but generally speaking, he just felt that the other party was very powerful, but not Feeling a strange breath.
Which leads him to the conclusion:
"Thirteen-ring warlock?"
【should be. 】
There are not many thirteen-ring warlocks in the entire material world, and this one beside him should be Mr. Hogg Rendell, the "Sun Great Sword" of the Church of the Sun.
Xia De has never met this gentleman, but the other party may know him. When Shade was shot at noon last Wednesday, the gentleman was standing a few hundred paces behind him, most likely after seeing the photo on the news.
"You can feel that the other party is a high-level ring warlock, so can the other party's other me feel that I am a high-level ring warlock?"
Judging from Shade's basic lessons, this should be impossible, but he still asked.
[Don't worry, as long as you don't use spells or thaumaturgy around him, he will definitely not be able to sense us. 】
He didn't know whether the other party's appearance by his side was a coincidence or deliberate, but thinking that he hadn't done anything bad, Xia De didn't feel too nervous.
So neither of them spoke, but stared at the ongoing game seriously. During this period, Xia De thought idly that the thaumaturgy copied from the [Witch's Carbon Paper] that he swallowed was the opponent's famous thaumaturgy.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the other party again. The sharp and warm temperament of the middle-aged man made Xia De thoughtful. He probably understood what kind of thaumaturgy he would obtain.
It wasn't until one of the players in the game turned over Moon 7 in frustration, and lost 22 points to 18 points, temporarily ending the game, that Xia De sighed, then turned and left here, while Mr. Rendell continued to watch the cards Bureau.
"It seems that he didn't come to stare at me deliberately."
Xia De didn't want to get involved with anyone here. After successfully leaving the thirteen-ring warlock, he thought about finding a cooler place to stay.
Although the auction is only held on the second floor, the rooms on the first floor are also open to guests~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Earl's youngest son took out some of the family's collections, rented some from his friends, and arranged them for an exhibition look. The claim to the outside world is to show the family's financial strength, and by the way, the high ticket price has some value.
Xia De's idea was to find a room with few people to calm down, but when he was walking in the corridor and looking around at the portraits of people hanging on the wall, a decent middle-aged gentleman with a wine glass came out from the front room, Both of them were taken aback:
"Doctor Schneider?"
"Shad?"
It was the blue-eyed middle-aged psychologist who came out of the room on the side of the corridor. He looked at Xia De in surprise, and Xia De was even more surprised.
"follow me!"
After reacting, Xia De took the doctor's hand involuntarily and walked to the window at the end of the corridor. Outside the window was the courtyard of the mansion in the night.
After confirming that there is no one outside the window, and no one is paying attention in the corridor behind him, Xia De lowered his voice and hurriedly asked:
"Doctor, why are you here?"
