Ella sneered, and then, as if she didn't notice anything, asked the bar to send dinner and two glasses of cherry brandy to the room on the second floor.

"I'm going to wash my hands first."

Ella walked into the bathroom of the room and closed the door behind her.The half-length mirror in the bathroom became a little blurry, as if covered with moisture.

Words and sentences emerged in the vapor, as if someone had written something with his finger after exhaling hot air on a half-length mirror.

It's a silly trick many of us have played as kids, but it's a bit weird in this setting.

A line of sentences gradually takes shape, its order completely reversed from right to left.But I can barely make out the meaning of the sentence:

"I've already arrived."

Ella nodded as if responding to a non-existent person.

Then another sentence emerged on the half-length mirror:

"You can try to use it yourself, I don't really need that item now."

Following this line of words appeared the head of a small white bone snake, which spit out something it held in its mouth into Ella's palm.After completing this step, the little snake quickly retracted its skull, and the mirror returned to its original appearance.

It was a bronze-colored quaint ring.

The ring was originally meant to be worn on the index finger, but it was too thick for Ella and could barely fit on the thumb.

Before leaving the bathroom, she used a confusion spell to change its appearance to a small piece of blood-stained gauze.

"There is a gap on the sink, I accidentally scratched it, you have to pay attention to it later."

Saying that, Ella sat across from Melanie.

The bartender had brought the food into the room, a small dish of bad butter, two loaves of bread and seared duck breast.

Melanie didn't pay much attention to the gap in the sink. To a wizard, this small cut was nothing.

She pointed to the food, but had no intention of moving them.

Melanie lowered her voice:

"Did you notice that the atmosphere in the bar is a bit strange... The owner named Knox has escaped. Do you think these remaining clerks are going to drug us and sell us to Bell Weir Party?"

Ella picked up a glass of wine, looked at it for a while, and sniffed it.In the end, he simply took a sip under Melanie's astonished gaze.

"It's not a poison. Its effect is at most to make you sleep until dawn...I'm curious whether this is Knox's own intention or his subordinates' arbitrariness."

Melanie was stunned. It took her a while to come back to her senses and said anxiously:

"Then you still dare to drink? Do you have something that can remove the effect of the medicine, magic or something else, move faster!"

"Don't worry, this thing has no effect on me."

Ella's newborn body is immune to most toxins, and it is unlikely that ordinary poisons will even cause her to have a stomachache.

"I think you can eat some too, it will embolden those fellows, and maybe they will really send us to Belleville party territory."

Melanie was startled.

"Is this your plan...it sounds feasible, but I don't have the ability to be immune to toxins."

"I will keep you safe while you sleep. Isn't that my job?"

Melanie picked up the glass with some hesitation,

"There is another problem. After I fall asleep, what if they plan to start here directly? I don't want to be touched by those guys..."

"If things turn out that way, I'll give up on the plan and wake you up after killing everyone. But then we'll probably have a head-on confrontation with that gangster... so if the situation is not too extreme, I think you You should be patient."

Melanie hesitated for a long time, and drank the glass of cherry brandy in one gulp.

After confirming that Melanie was asleep, Ella deliberately made a little noise, then squinted her eyes and lay down on the table.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the wooden door of the guest room was kicked open!

Five or six men dressed as drinkers squeezed in, and behind them were a few strong guys in black formal suits.

The leader was the young man whose head was bandaged with gauze. His name was Brand, and he was the man who was knocked down by Ella with a wine bottle during the day.

"Bah! What bodyguard? If you want me to say that Knox is completely scared out of his wits, that guy has shrunk and is actually afraid of a woman. Didn't she be overwhelmed by me with a glass of wine?"

As he said that, he stretched out his big hand and touched it.

"Let me get back some interest first!"

But before that, a well-dressed man pushed Brand away.

"This is our product. If you use it, the price will drop by at least half."

"I didn't intend to follow through."

"I can't even touch it."

The other thugs were quite disapproving. According to the previous rules, it is not impossible for Brand to charge some interest.But the companion who made the sound was obviously not in a good mood today.

They pushed Brand and a few shop assistants away, and carried the two young women on their shoulders involuntarily.

The gauze on Ella's right thumb seemed to have been blown by the wind.

This afternoon, when Melanie went to the bathroom to summon the messenger, she took the opportunity to do the same.

She passed the location of the bar to No. 30 of the Champs Elysees through the messenger of the Belusse family.

Hyde, who got the news, had arrived at the bar before dinner and communicated with Ella through a magic unknown to her.

Ayla temporarily borrowed the "Ring of Pride" and used its power to insinuate a Belleville party thug, invisible mental fluctuations that affected most of the room to some extent.

Therefore, almost no one suspects the abnormality of the companion.

Hyde used the magic "Sigh of the Neglected" to hide his figure, and Ella has never been able to understand the principle of that spell.It doesn't seem to actually produce physical invisibility like Night's Embrace or Transparency, it's just that the person using the spell is unnaturally ignored as part of the environment.

This spell seemed to have completely lost its effect on Ella. She clearly saw Hyde walking out of the room with a group of thugs and hooligans.

But the others didn't notice at all that there was an extra guy here.

Chapter 52 Hyde's Power

Ella was roughly thrown into a carriage. She was not very good at spiritual magic, and the scope of making hints was limited to a small part of the emphasis.

She was thrown with tightness in her chest, and Melanie was thrown in afterward.There were also two thugs who entered the carriage together, and they quickly tied their hands and feet with ropes.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the carriage was slammed shut, blocking out the already not very bright lights.

The carriage was shaking and driving, and the ground was uneven, which made the interior of the carriage very bumpy.In fact, the streets of Batignolles are difficult for even a small carriage of this size.

Debris piled up randomly on the street, sheds or other illegal buildings that obviously occupy the road, the carriage passed through these complex obstacles, but almost bizarrely did not slow down.

At this time, one of the thugs in the carriage suddenly stood up and said to his companion:

"You're asleep, you can't see anything, you can't hear anything."

Amidst his erratic voice, the other thug lowered his head, snoring heavily in this bumpy environment.

"Okay, Williams, can you tell me your plan?"

It was undeniably Hyde, who had barely disguised himself, just being what he was.He smiled,

"Do you want me to untie you first?"

"No, it's more like this."

Ella propped her elbows against the floor of the car and braced herself.

"I plan to follow these people to the stronghold of the Belleville party. At that time, I need you to ask them some questions with hints."

"Just ask this person directly?"

Hyde pointed to the sleepy thug on cue.

"Yes, we can always ask these questions, but they are not high enough to have access to all incidents."

"Do you think there are hunters of foul blood behind this country gang?"

"Earlier it was just suspicion, but when I left the Martin Clinic, I noticed a detail that I had overlooked before."

She motioned Hyde to roll up the sleeping thug's sleeves.

Hyde complied with some doubts, and found a triangular scar on the man's arm.

"Those are the scars left by bloodletting treatment. A gang member I saw during the day also had the same marks. To be honest, I personally don't believe that this treatment method can cure any disease, but these two guys obviously All too healthy."

"These wounds look fresh, at most a day or two ago, if it wasn't for healing...why did they bleed?"

Hyde touched his bare chin and replied:

"Although I can't be sure, it does have the value of investigation. Indeed, if this operation against the hunters is completed by the alliance, then we can establish greater prestige, and maybe more neutral wizards are willing to fall. To the alliance."

When Hyde was thinking about the problem, he had begun to unconsciously stand in the position of Belusay's successor.

He pointed to Melanie who was in a coma due to drugs.

"This is the outside staff you mentioned, right? I can give her a slight hint to make her trust you more. Although she probably doesn't have access to core intelligence, she can arrange more in Kleist's party." Some of our people aren't bad either."

Ella froze,

"Hyde, you seem to have really changed a lot."

"Who knows..."

The youth avoided the subject.

"I think it's not far from the destination, you can continue to lie down."

Ella nodded, changed to a comfortable position and continued to pretend to be asleep.

After the carriage stopped, Hyde clapped his hands, and another thug in the carriage woke up immediately.As if not aware of any abnormalities, he carried the two young women onto the cart and followed the team into a building.

The buildings here are far larger and stronger than those temporary dwellings.The number of rebuilt shacks has decreased significantly, which makes the already tall buildings look like palaces in slums.

In fact, this place was originally several amalgamated slaughterhouses, with a large facade and several warehouses.

"They are goods from Warehouse No. [-], don't make a mistake."
