Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Locke replied casually, without looking away from the book.

"What? It's not difficult? Do you know how difficult it is to sign a slave blood contract with a demon? This is no less than Her Royal Highness suddenly saying that she wants to marry you, Locke, I suspect you are just showing off."

Sigurd said.

"I don't want Her Highness the Princess to marry me. When I see her, I want to stay away."

Locke instinctively felt that Princess Frieda would be a trouble. For such an arrogant princess, it was best to hide as far away as possible. Fortunately, his decision last time was correct, otherwise he would have to be like the expensive lady with her skin and flesh bruised. Young Master.

"Locke, I'm so bored. I decided to go to the tavern for a drink. Do you want to join me?"

"I'm not going, will you come over tonight?"

"With Miss Rebecca here, I think it's unnecessary for me to be here. I'll come back during the day."

Sigurd smiled and shrugged.

Locke thought it would be good for him to leave so that he could find Irene for guidance on his homework.

After Sigurd left, Locke continued his studies under Irene's guidance.

The peaceful night passed like this.

In the next two days, Locke took leave from Old Rani in the kitchen. If he was not practicing at the shooting range, he would go to the old instructor's house to exercise, or wander around the streets of Kosolk, but he never met that person again. A special white carriage.

On day three, Andy Hagen's comeback dance begins at 8 p.m.

In order to please his daughter, Count Hagen customized the theme of the ball as a masquerade.

Everyone is required to wear a mask and fancy dress to attend.

Locke and Sigurd set out to attend the ball together, and Sigurd chose an Aries mask for Locke, while he wore a lion mask.

At the ball, Locke saw Count Hagen's mistress, Mrs. Suman.

Her red hair is particularly charming under the light, and her plump figure complements the gorgeous dress. She is holding Earl Hagen on her arm, just like the mistress of this Earl's mansion.

Locke is a little sensitive when he sees red hair now.

This hair color inexplicably reminded him of that mysterious woman, the beautiful woman with Krista.

Andy Hagen didn't like Mrs. Suman because standing in front of her, Andy Hagen seemed eclipsed.

Even though she has enviable beauty, there is a big difference between beauty and beauty.

Mrs. Suman's aura, even if she is wearing a mask, seems to be able to attract the attention of all the opposite sexes around her, which reminds Locke of Shelia inexplicably.

But he did not receive the system prompt, which proved that Mrs. Suman was not a witch.

Sigurd was immediately attracted to the red-haired Mrs. Suman. If Earl Hagen hadn't been there, he would have held Mrs. Suman's hand and praised her white skin and elegant figure.

"Sigur, white car."

Locke reminded in a low voice.

Sigurd understood his hint and sighed regretfully.

"I see, no wonder she is so charming. Under normal circumstances, I can stay sane for at least two or three hours when facing such a lady, but when facing her, I can only stay awake for five minutes."

"Restrain yourself, of course, I'm just doubtful."

Locke did not see Mrs. Suman take off her mask and was not sure that she was the red-haired woman, but he had a keen sense of smell.

Mrs. Suman put on too much perfume, which seemed to cover her original smell.

The sense of smell is gone.

It's a pity that Rhaenys was not invited to the ball today.

Locke thought about what if something unexpected happened at the dance.

He holds the summoning talisman given by Rhaenys in his hand, which can summon her shadow at critical moments.

In addition, the ball hall is surrounded by clear glass, and he can hide in it with the help of a mirror trick.

Sigurd was also there, as was Miss Irene, the black cat.

Moreover, there is a garden outside the hall. There are many butterflies and bees in the garden, and Angela should be nearby.

It's not a big problem, at least if the opponent's target is him, there's a high probability that they won't be able to take him away.

"Locke."

A familiar voice interrupted Locke's thoughts.

Locke looked over and saw a lady wearing a squirrel mask.

Judging from her figure, she is definitely Miss Lucy.

Locke remembered Lucy's measurements clearly.

"Miss Lucy."

"Oh, you actually recognized me."

Lucy was surprised and used her fan to cover half of her face, which was already covered by the mask.

"Didn't you recognize me too?"

Locke said with a smile.

"That's because you're wearing half a mask and your chin is very recognizable."

Lucy's cheeks turned slightly red, luckily the mask hid her expression.

"Miss Lucy, we meet again."

Sigurd stretched out his hand as a gentleman.

Lucy lifted the hem of her skirt and returned the favor.

"Mr. Siegel, you and Mr. Locke are really inseparable. This is the second time I met you at the dance."

"Yes, we have a great relationship, just the kind of relationship you want."

Sigurd took off his mask and winked at Lucy.

Then he put his mask back on.

Lucy let out a clear laugh, "Mr. Sigel, you are so funny. No wonder Malvina is so happy when she mentions you. Oh, Malvina is here too. She is wearing a fox mask. I hope you can Find her."

"Really? Mrs. Malvina is here too, so I'll excuse you first."

Sigurd had not lost his sense of freshness towards Mrs. Malvina, and when he heard that she was also at the ball, he took the initiative to abandon Locke to find his short-term happiness.

Locke picked up the red wine brought by the waiter and handed a glass to Lucy.

"Miss Lucy, do you know Mrs. Suman?"

"Mrs. Suman, of course, she is a very beautiful woman, and she is the only mistress recognized by Count Hagen."

As Lucy was speaking, Earl Hagen tapped the wine glass with a golden spoon.

Ding ding ding——

Although the ball was quite noisy, everyone still turned their attention neatly to Count Hagen and temporarily stopped their discussions.

Like an actor standing in the spotlight, Earl Hagen took off his big bad wolf mask, revealing an ordinary face, and said with a smile,

"Today is a ball to celebrate the return of my beautiful daughter. A total of 66 beautiful women are invited. They all wear masks. If there is a man who can find my daughter Andy Hagen among these 66 women, , I will give this [Girl’s Smile] to him.”

[Girl's Smile] is a famous painting by Anna Watson, a famous painter from the Tumen Kingdom. Since Anna Watson has been dead for many years, the price of this painting has been very high, but in fact only those who really like art can Only nobles can collect it.

For a person like Locke who has no artistic talent, this painting has no other value except that it can be replaced by Kim Mick.

"Come on, gentlemen, start your search! I believe you will be able to find my beautiful daughter, and the ball has officially begun."

Earl Hagen put on his mask again, and cheerful music started.

The young gentlemen entered the dance floor cheering, and when they came into contact with every woman, they would subconsciously check whether she was Andy Hagen.

"Miss Lucy, do I have the honor to invite you to the first dance today?"

Locke smiled and held out his hand.

Lucy put her little hand with white lace gloves on Locke's big hand,

"Mr. Locke, it's my pleasure."

The two also entered the dance floor. Kosolk's ballroom dance was very different from the ballroom dance Locke had danced in his previous life. It was as childish as dancing between a doll and a bear, requiring many turns.

In such a dance, the favorability of both men and women can easily increase, because the dizzy feeling is very much like love.

It is said that a well-educated lady can spin 10 times without losing her composure.

Women who are unable to keep spinning are considered to be poorer.

Because they don't need to learn the etiquette of turning in circles.

If Locke didn't have the ability to coordinate his body, he would probably faint after spinning around in circles for five or six times.

"Mr. Locke, you really don't look like someone who once lived in Old Tom's apartment."

Lucy sighed.

"Really? Miss Lucy, I'm actually a little dizzy."

"Then let's stop. I've always found this dance to be childish and ridiculous."

Lucy said with a smile.

"No, I can still hold on."

Locke noticed that Earl Hagen and his mistress were nearby, which meant that when they exchanged dance partners later, he could dance with Earl Hagen's mistress, Mrs. Suman.

He really wanted to take off Mrs. Suman's mask and see who she really was.

Of course, even if she didn't take off her mask, Locke would be able to recognize her through her voice.

A cheerful dance ended and turned into slow-paced light music. It was time to exchange dance partners.

Locke successfully held hands with Mrs. Suman, and the two danced without turning in circles.

"Beautiful lady, are you Miss Andy?"

Locke asked knowingly.

Mrs. Suman shook her head. She was wearing a fox mask with a smiling face.

"I presume you must be a young lady of Miss Andy's age."

Locke wanted to get Mrs. Suman to speak, but Mrs. Suman just shook her head or nodded. She seemed not to want to talk to the unfamiliar Locke and was just dealing with him politely.

"Have we met somewhere? I feel that the smell on you is very familiar."

Locke continued to say something similar to a conversation.

Lucy, who was not far away, looked back at Locke, suddenly feeling that he and Sigurd were of the same kind.

This made Lucy feel a little disappointed. She originally thought Locke was a unique gentleman.

Mrs. Suman still didn't speak, but expressed her emotions with body language.

She reached out and gently held Locke's neck. Although this was also part of the dance, her fingers were rubbing the back of Locke's neck, which was a bit too much.

Locke felt her teasing him.

"Are you her? Beautiful lady, you can tell me yes or no."

Locke continued to test, trying to get Mrs. Suman to speak.

It's a pity that Mrs. Suman didn't speak. She either contracted the cold and her voice became hoarse, or there was something wrong with her.

Locke felt itchy on his neck, and Mrs. Suman's left hand had moved to Locke's mask.

She wants to take off Locke's mask.

Locke grabbed her left hand.

"How about we unmask at the same time?"

Mrs. Suman nodded slightly.

So Locke and Mrs. Suman unmasked each other when the music stopped.

The beautiful red-haired woman Suman showed a charming smile to Locke,

"Am I an acquaintance of yours?"
