Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 591 Informal Visit

Like ice cream? I also like that this is not a problem, and pregnant women always have various hobbies that are different from usual... Angel didn't care about this. The chef she hired made a very ordinary Intis dish, but Luen's popular various Desserts are also available, including ice cream.

At this time, the two of them had returned to the door of the small living room. Riback quickly introduced the situation of Baron Best, who was not on the guest list, and then left quickly to prepare ice cream and apology gifts.

After the maid Elsa opened the door, Angel calmed himself down, walked slowly into the living room, and came to the reception area near the balcony with an excellent view, where he met the three visitors.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Alan Kress was a tall, thin young man with gold-rimmed glasses and a slightly indifferent expression. Hearing that he was a famous surgeon, Angel thought he was already a middle-aged man. , at this time, the other party's youth made her feel a little surprised.

But this face felt familiar to Angel, and she quickly recalled the couple who accidentally entered the battlefield when they were fighting Ms. D, the goddess of the Aurora Society, in Backlund last time. She followed Angel's escape route, but there were two ordinary people in front of Angel. She had to block the blow and fired the special effect of the "Good Luck" revolver with her backhand, severely injuring the "shepherd".

If I hadn't been lucky and triggered a 16-fold increase in damage, I might have died there. Of course, there was also the surgeon in front of me... Angel thought and looked at the only black-haired lady sitting there. .

The latter looks gentle and elegant, about 25 years old. She is the kind of woman who has completely lost her youthfulness, but the years have not yet left traces on her face. Her belly is high under the loose skirt, and she is estimated to be in her prime. It's been over 7 months.

A little further away from the two people, standing alone on the balcony was a middle-aged man with short brown hair. His chin was a bit wide and his face was rectangular. This made his facial features somewhat flat and highlighted the bags under his eyes that were much more obvious than those of his peers. .

"Sir Best, Mr. Allen, Ms. Velma, good afternoon."

Angel took the initiative to say hello.

When the three of them heard Angel's footsteps, they stopped looking out the window, looked over, and had completely different reactions.

Ms. Wilma's face, which looked a little fatter due to pregnancy, was full of envy. Allen was surprised and appreciative, but more restrained. Baron Best barely maintained a polite smile, but kept staring at Angel until The other party opened his mouth to say hello, then coughed slightly to hide his gaze.

"Miss Christine Theresa, good afternoon. I'm sorry, your arrival has eclipsed the scenery outside the window. I couldn't find the words to praise you and was in a daze for a moment."

“Rather, I hope the guests will praise the gardeners’ work.”

Angel also gently exposed the other party's rudeness. She had long expected that this kind of embarrassment would occur sooner or later when she appeared as a high-sequence witch, so she was mentally prepared.

"Haha, the garden layout style here reminds me of Intis. They always like the serious layout of central axis symmetry, which is completely different from the open social atmosphere and radical dressing style."

Dr. Allen said with a smile.

"Ruen can always incorporate the characteristics of each country, whether they are good or bad."

His wife, Velma, interjected.

After a few words of greeting, Best regained his composure, and several people took their seats. The servants brought black tea and coffee according to everyone's preferences.

Like most Backlund nobles, Best drank black tea. The Marquis black tea purchased by Angel's housekeeper made the baronet nod repeatedly, quickly getting rid of the embarrassment just now, and said:

"I heard from Chris, you just returned to Loen from Intis? Are you still used to the life in Backlund?"

"The biggest change here is probably that the air is much better than it was a few years ago. Everything else is the same as before, fast-paced but relatively conservative, as if every day is the same day."

Angel thought for a moment and gave an honest evaluation.

"The changes in the environment are due to the new decree issued by His Majesty the King, and also to the initiative of industry leaders including Sir Best to make changes."

Allen's words made Angel curious: "What is the profession of jazz?"

"I invested in several lead white factories and heating coal companies. At the beginning of this year, in response to His Majesty's new policy, I shut down some factories, upgraded equipment, and reduced pollution emissions. Haha, although this will cost me a lot, but look The sky in Backlund is getting bluer and bluer, it’s all worth it.”

Best took a sip of black tea, the smile on his face seemed to be distorted by the bitterness of the tea leaves.

If I hadn't listened to Riback's introduction before entering the door, I might have really believed what you said... Angel chuckled secretly, flashing through his mind the information his butler had compiled temporarily.

The family of this baron received the title of viscount in the "Battle of Oaths" more than 600 years ago. Family members have served in the military for generations. Although they have not been able to go further, they have at least maintained the hereditary title to this day. Unfortunately, in the 10th century Many years ago, due to some unknown reasons, he was demoted to a baron, also known as a lord, and most of his fiefdom was lost. He could only look for connections, invest in emerging industries, and maintain a decent life.

However, after the great smog, the highly polluting factories and industries he mainly invested in were "taken care of" by the Air Pollution Investigation Committee and were forced to shut down most of them. The idea of ​​upgrading equipment is probably just an excuse.

I just don’t know if Dr. Allen is really praising him, or if he is feeling weird after knowing the truth...

Angel calmly took over the topic, praised the other person a few words, and then cleverly led the topic to Allen's wife, Velma Gladys.

From the conversation, we learned that this woman was a middle school teacher who took a long leave soon after becoming pregnant last year to concentrate on recuperating at home.

"When is Madam's due date?" Angel asked, his eyes resting on the other person's abdomen, and he showed a heartfelt smile for the impending arrival of new life.

The same smile also hung on Allen's face. He subconsciously glanced at Madam's belly and said:
"Early July, two months to go."

Therefore, she was pregnant around October last year... Angel subconsciously calculated the date, and suddenly remembered why he was so familiar with these two people.

It was not simply because he protected the opponent in that battle, but also because as Klein once mentioned, what was in Velma's belly was a "monster" Sequence 1 who "restarted" her life, "Snake of Destiny" Will Ang. Setin!

She is the mother of an angel!

Thinking of this, Angel was on pins and needles, and suddenly felt that the Fenebote coffee she bought at a high price no longer tasted good. She couldn't help but want to turn on her spiritual vision to see the lady's abdomen, but she knew that looking directly at an angel would probably make her She was in danger, and hesitation covered her beautiful face.

At this moment, the belated three-color jam ice cream with blueberry, strawberry, and white frosting was brought into the living room. No one else noticed anything strange about her, especially Velma, the mother of the Snake of Destiny. , the latter was taking the porcelain bowl handed by the servant and enjoying the jam ice cream elegantly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

This kind of informal visit usually consists of tea and coffee, and snacks are rarely served to avoid staining the clothes. However, the happiness of the pregnant woman comes first, and the other people did not disturb the excited Velma. He quietly changed the subject and asked about Angel's life before returning to Backlund.

Angel wanted to spread his prepared identity through various chats, so he told Allen and Best the story in detail.

Her "setting" of herself is that of a poor girl who had to leave her hometown and go to Intis when her parents left when she was just an adult and was bullied by other relatives. After operating in Trier for several years, "Christine" had a lot of savings, but it was difficult to adapt to the overly open atmosphere there, so she sold all her property and returned to Loen, hoping to come to Backlund to develop again.

As for his experiences in the past few years, Angel spent a few days in Trier, went to Maxi, and returned to Loen to gain some knowledge. It was natural for him to fool a few Loen locals who had never been abroad. very simple.

Especially when she mentioned that the rich people in Trier were keen to show their wealth and leisure by walking turtles, and that young people were popular in holding weddings in the catacombs, which had even caused many horrific incidents, several Loen people showed surprise. and an expression of mixed disdain.

"I originally thought that the atmosphere in Backlund in recent years was a bit too avant-garde. From His Majesty to the workers, everyone was a bit radical, so that the old traditions were gradually abandoned. But compared with Trier in Intis, this place is still Too conservative.”

Best sighed with emotion, wondering if he was thinking of his factories that were forced to close due to "radical policies."

As a representative of the emerging class, Dr. Allen had different opinions. Professionals like him were the beneficiaries of the kingdom's changes and naturally supported more changes. However, out of politeness, he only retorted with a few words.

Angel was worried that the atmosphere would become tense, so he brought the topic to Dr. Allen's recent surgery. He learned that the doctor had gained the appreciation of the newly minted nobleman Baron Sindras through a successful surgery. The acquaintance with Best was precisely because of the Baron's Matchmaking.

That's it. Otherwise, if two people with different positions and different classes don't quarrel, how could they come to visit me at the same time... Angel cursed and couldn't help but want to make some sharp comments, but Ms. Wilma opposite her suddenly He put down the ice cream and held his stomach, with a trace of pain on his face.

It couldn't be food poisoning, then my reputation on this street would be over!

Angel's heart tightened, and he looked at her, only to find that Dr. Allen just whispered a few words to his wife with an indifferent expression, then turned around and said apologetically:
"Sorry, my wife is feeling a little uncomfortable, and the fetus has been a little active these days."

"Need any help?"

Angel, who almost wanted to use his "disease" ability to reversely affect the other party, asked quickly.

"No, she can just go back and rest for a while."

After declining Angel's help, Allen helped his wife stand up and prepared to leave. Best seemed to be in high spirits, but when he saw his companion was about to leave, he had to stand up together and said to Angel:

"Miss Teresa, I had a great time getting along with you. Maybe we can meet again soon... There will be a dance held at my mansion next week, and I sincerely hope you can come to attend."

According to "Aristocratic Etiquette", after the first informal meeting, shouldn't you first be invited for a return visit, and then the formal dance and banquet... Angel recalled the modest etiquette knowledge in his mind, and suddenly discovered From the sparkling eyes of the baron, Best immediately understood the reason for the other party's "speed up".

If I were a real "witch", I should be happy to agree at this time... She muttered without giving a definite answer. Anyway, you can decide whether to participate in this kind of dance when the invitation is sent.

When she sent the three guests to the door, Riback was already waiting at the door. He gave carefully selected gifts to the guests, winning another compliment from Baron Best.

He pays attention to ostentation, tends to be conservative, and is kind to people on the surface. In fact, he may have different ideas than what he looks like... Angel put a few labels on the other party, watched them leave along the central axis of the garden, and returned to the living room on the third floor. .

As soon as she asked the maid to close the door and leave, she felt a spiritual touch and turned on her spiritual vision. Sure enough, she discovered that Renette Tinichole had entered the room from the spirit world.

The lady left because the baby was too active and had abdominal pain. Could it be because the "Snake of Destiny" had a premonition that the powerful messenger lady would come here... Angel expressed his awe to "Destiny" and then took the Letter, ready to take out a gold coin to pay.

"He has..." "In advance..." "Has paid..." "The fee."

Paid in advance?

Angel raised his eyebrows, opened the envelope, and found that it was written by Klein.
