This reason convinced Ella and she nodded.

"Then I'll take it to you."

As she spoke, Ella waved her hand to draw a cross in the space of the living room, and the cross gradually spread into an illusory door.

She took the opponent's hand, stepped into the light gate, and quickly shuttled through the colorful color blocks. After mastering the method of opening the door, Ella remained awake during the teleportation process and no longer felt dizzy.

In essence, teleportation seems to be a temporary escape from the material world and into the gap between consciousness space and material space.In the gap, the distance in the physical world becomes meaningless, thus achieving an effect similar to teleportation.

Ella also understood the reason why wizards like Kleist had difficulty entering the door. The space of consciousness itself would exert a gravitational pull on individuals with magic power. The stronger the magic power, the stronger this attraction would become.When this force is enough to destroy the balance and become irresistible, the individual caught in the gap will be attracted to the consciousness space and find it difficult to escape.

Ella can already feel the strong attraction now, if she continues to grow, she may become like Kleist, unable to use the door anymore.

Their figures appeared in a deserted area by the Seine River and landed steadily on the ground.

"The door cannot be opened any closer, otherwise the executioner may discover it."

Ella explained.

The two continued to walk forward for a short distance, and stopped on a white stone arch bridge. This was the Mary Bridge where Ella arrived more than a month ago.After returning here, her mood has become completely different from what it was then.

The effect of the confusion spell continued. In the eyes of passers-by, the two were just common couples on the bridge, a silver-haired young man in a Flagg coat and an oriental woman in a Greek-style Kashmiri shawl.

Ling said a little funny,

"Your confusion spell is too strange. It should be more appropriate to confuse me into a male, right? Your etiquette in front of Mr. Morell almost went wrong."

"This is more secure. The executor should not be interested in investigating the newly moved men on the Champs Elysées, right?"

"As it should be."

Unknowingly, the bridge has come to an end, and the signboard of the newspaper office has appeared prominently on the other side.

"Okay, let's go here."

Ling stopped moving forward.

Ella stopped immediately and said:

"Be careful. Even if the principal doesn't mean to start a war, don't be careless. There might be some fool who takes action without permission."

Ling didn't take up the topic, but smiled kindly.

"Ella, under the effect of the Confusion Curse, our fake appearance should be the newly married Mr. Bell and Miss Valentina, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ella asked with some confusion.

And her smile became brighter.

"Then, shouldn't these two gentlemen and ladies have a farewell kiss before they say goodbye?"

Ella was in a daze for a moment.

But Miss Valentina didn't give Mr. Bell a chance to react. She took the former in her arms somewhat roughly and got close to him amidst the whistles of passers-by.

Chapter 10 News

Ling left Mary Bridge in a happy mood.

On the bank of the Seine in the morning, newsboys were selling the earliest reports in recent days along the street. "Journal of the Seine" is a publication issued by this newspaper.

As a necessary cover for Kraft's local contact point and a part of the source of income, a business such as a newspaper or a tavern is most suitable.

She tipped the boy with two sous, and took a copy of the Journal de Seine.Today, what still occupies the largest page is the report on the project of the Seine District Chief Executive to renovate the city.

Although Baron Ottoman built a temporary centralized residence and compensated the residents within the reconstruction area, many people still expressed dissatisfaction with his demolition work.

This is unavoidable, after all, if some people gain benefits, it must mean that the interests of other people suffer.

His Excellency the Baron showed an unimaginable iron fist in the reconstruction work. He ignored the public opinions and attitudes of newspaper reporters and always carried out this huge project stably and efficiently.

So this has become a funny and strange norm in the past year. Almost every newspaper will habitually satirize and ridicule Baron Haussmann on the headlines. No matter what the theme of this issue of the newspaper is, the official content will be Following the sentence "Stupid George Eugene Osman".

After skipping the exaggerated reports that had no practical significance, Ling noticed that the content that occupied the remaining half of the area was a follow-up report on several serial murders.

In recent times, several corpses have appeared one after another in the streets of Paris. The victims' identities, ages and occupations have nothing in common. The murderer seems to have just killed people indiscriminately.

The murderer who caused these tragedies seems to have a very paranoid and fanatical belief in religion. He will leave strange messages such as "trial" at the crime scene, which makes the murder scene look more like some kind of strange ritual scene.

This incident shattered the already tenuous friendship between Protestants and Lutherans in Paris.

The author who compiled this news maliciously linked the incident with the reconstruction work in Paris. After long speculation and slander without evidence, he determined that the prisoner was a killer bought by a certain "you know who" ruler. The purpose is to exclude innocent civilians who oppose and hinder the reconstruction of Paris.

It's a very eye-catching gimmick, but that's about it.

Ling had paid a little attention to this incident. Judging from the traces at the scene, the prisoner should be just an ordinary human being. This was not within the jurisdiction of the enforcer, so her interest ended there.

Stopping in front of the newspaper office, Ling frowned slightly, the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.

In her spiritual vision, there were at least five powerful executors in the room separated by a wall, which was far more than what a city contact point needed.

Without much hesitation, Ling pushed open the glass door of the newspaper office.

She walked straight through the front desk and office area and headed towards the employee lounge behind the main hall.The people who worked in this store had some understanding of the nature of the newspaper office. The silver badge worn on Ling's chest was equivalent to the highest authority here, so no one tried to stop this strange girl.

Ling looked at the several figures who approached him intentionally or unintentionally, and silently confirmed their number.

"One, two, three, four...one more to go."

Thinking, she pushed open the slightly narrow wooden door, and in front of the altar that could serve as a "door", stood a young blonde girl.

There were almost no flaws on her delicate face, which was as perfect as a master's angel painting or a carved classical statue.The completely symmetrical and somewhat mechanical beauty will make people feel dizzy and irritable after looking at it for a long time.

"Miss Mephisto, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Ling glanced at the other people who appeared in the room and sneered disdainfully, seemingly completely unprepared.

"Are you the new president of the student union? I don't remember having anything to do with someone like you."

The other person's smile remained unchanged.

"I'm just curious, why did you stay in Paris for so long... Let me think, maybe it has something to do with the wanted Ella Williams?"

Ling interrupted her impatiently.

"Do you have evidence? Get out of the way, I need to use the 'door' of the contact point now, or can I consider this an act of provocation against the alliance?"

There was a brief silence in the room of the contact point. Ling then snorted disdainfully, knocked away the girl in front of him, and stepped into the altar.

In the hazy halo, her figure became transparent and disappeared.

"What an arrogant woman, Your Excellency Hebrew, should we just let her go?"

A middle-aged magician couldn't help but say that he was just an external executor and didn't know enough about Kraft's internal situation.

"That's enough. Her attitude can already explain a lot of problems. You should immediately arrange personnel to investigate her route of action and who she has been in contact with recently."

"...Ella Williams is probably in this city."

The girl called Hebrew said that if anyone noticed, they would find that there was almost no change in her expression, just like a frozen photo.

-

After saying goodbye to Ling, Ella did not rush through the "door" to return to the Champs Elysées, but walked leisurely along the bridge.

The Pont Marie connects the Ile Saint-Louis with the Avenue de Vere, so it’s not too far from your destination.She planned to take a walk around the city and go to the Paris Housekeeping Association to pick out a few servants.

Before Ling left, he left behind three hundred gold louis. The purchasing power of gold louis was equivalent to that of the British pound. Under normal circumstances, this was almost enough to spend more than a year for the middle class.The former said that this is a budget that can be reimbursed to the alliance, so she doesn't have to care about anything.

Ella exchanged some change at the pastry shop on the street. In addition to the six and four sous tips she spent on buying gray pie, she exchanged nineteen francs and ten sous in change.

Grape pie is a very common snack on the streets of Paris. A thick layer of jam is spread on the crispy pancake, and it is decorated with chopped almonds, cream and cheese, ordering the texture of the pancake.

Ella nibbled on a galette, and after wandering around for more than half an hour, she gave up the idea of ​​finding the Paris City Home Economics Association by herself, and instead hired a carriage and a local driver for forty sous.

She had an hour to let the native show her around, stopping by the Paris Home Economics Society.

"Sir, are you a foreigner?"

The coachman took a good liking to this generous gentleman.

After being well prepared, Ella can communicate with the locals normally in French. In fact, with the spiritual power of a wizard, it will not take long to thoroughly learn a popular language.

gentlemen?

Ella was stunned for a moment, then recalled that she was still maintaining the confusion spell. While recalling the identity of Mr. "Yosef Bell", she replied:

"Yes, I'm from Mulhouse and I'm planning to come to Paris with my wife to find some new opportunities."

"It's a good idea. Paris is much better than Mulhouse, sir."

The coachman replied affirmatively, but paused for a few seconds as if he was having trouble opening his mouth, and then added:

"It's just not the right time. It's not very peaceful here recently."

Chapter 11 Mr. Bell’s Commentary (Additional Updates)

"Isn't it peaceful?"

Ella was stunned. Maybe the situation in the mysterious world is a bit chaotic now, but it should still be within the controllable range and not affect ordinary people.

"It's a vampire!"

The coachman lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

According to him, there have been many killings in the Seine neighborhood in recent times, and all the victims, without exception, had their blood drained.The earliest similar case seems to date back five years ago, and now the criminal who has been silent for a long time is starting to move around again.

"Only vampires can kill people like that. It's also because the prisoner is not human at all that the police can't catch him. If you plan to live in Paris, sir, you'd better hire more devout and reliable believers as servants."

The coachman suggested so.

Ella couldn't agree with this statement.Kraft's books clearly mention that vampires are just human inventions and there are no such dangerous creatures in the world.

Most of the records about vampires in the world are just rumors, and a few are specious.

Such as some crazy wizard who studies the dark arts, ghouls, or several other dangerous creatures in human form.The most famous of them, and the one most similar to the legendary vampires, should be the dirty blood.

The foul blood species are essentially the same as Kraft's divine blood mages. They are also humans who inherit the bloodline of great beings.But unlike the latter, the source of the bloodline inherited by the dirty blood species is contaminated.
