It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Hyde noticed that when the other party said this, his eyes were cast on himself from a high place.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Hyde frowned slightly, because of the height difference, the downward gaze made him uncomfortable.

"Mr. Hyde, after all, you have been sitting in this position for so long. Whether it is alchemy props or powerful magic potions, there will be no shortage of items under your name, so our starting point is different from the beginning of this competition. I believe everyone here Everyone here agrees with that, right?"

Her point of view immediately won a lot of voices of approval,

"So I think you can only use alchemy items under your own name in the competition and not included in the list of the Belusai family. Otherwise, we don't have to compete."

Hyde sneered,

"Barely considered a reasonable request, I can accept it, and only use things that are not on the inclusion list. Besides, you shouldn't have these things to say, right?"

"There are also advanced alchemy props recorded in Kraft's alchemy room."

A voice came from the crowd below, it was a man with sunken eye sockets and a haggard face.

"We all know the friendship between you and the executor lady. If she borrows a sacred object of the executor for you, then this competition can also end early."

"Jerome."

Straw spoke and pointed to an empty seat in the core area with his finger.

"Why don't you tell me when you're here, your place should be right here."

Jerome?Jerome Belusay?

Ella looked at the man with a haggard face. He turned out to be the guy she valued most on the list?

This man looks too ordinary, whether it is his appearance or temperament, or his magical power that cannot be directly observed with the naked eye, it seems to be quite mediocre.As an old-fashioned wizard who was a generation older than Hyde and the others, the magic power he displayed was not the best even among the seats of those branch families.

Such a person can put an end to the harm caused by mysterious events near his own territory, most of which depends on the forces under his command, or his excellent command ability.

But these seem to be of little use in a one-on-one successor competition. Could it be that I am worrying too much?

Ella squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the haggard man. This time, the girl used her spiritual vision. With her current strength, it was almost impossible for him to hide from her eyes.

Between the two nearly overlapping worlds, she saw a bit of ink-like black, which was slowly eroding the surrounding space at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Sure enough, there is something wrong, but...

Every wizard has his own secrets. Although the other party has shown some abnormalities, this is within the scope of normal wizard abilities.

No, there is still something wrong.

Ella still couldn't get rid of the vague sense of disobedience, and the actions of the characters began to retreat. She saw herself walking slowly into the banquet hall and the people who bowed their heads because of the pressure.

right here.

Following Ella's will, the picture stops flowing.She noticed that there was only one person in the crowd who was maintaining his original posture, staring at her with a chilling gaze.

Ella felt a real sense of malice and aggression in that gaze.

Do you know this person yourself? There should be no intersection between them until today, so what is the source of this malice...

"Mr. Jerome Belusay. Do you mean that I will take sides in the ceremony and am not qualified to sit here as a notary?"

Out of this malice, she asked tentatively.

"I dare not say this... but you know it well, Miss Executive Officer. I have a question from just now. Straw said that each branch family is only allowed to have one member join as a competitor."

As he spoke, he pointed to the core area near the bottom of the mural.

"Then why did I see Miss Helena Belusay sitting here at the same time as the former Mr. Heir? Don't they belong to the same family branch?"

"I have not heard you as notaries question this."

Helena who was pointed at stood up,

"I am not representing Straw's family branch, but I am joining the ceremony in an independent capacity. Everyone of you knows that I have left White Rose Manor many years ago."

Jerome sneered and spread his hands.

"This is sophistry, miss, if you can be regarded as qualified, then we can all declare here to separate from our own branch lineages and participate in the ceremony as independent identities. This will expand the number of participants to unimaginable numbers .”

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with the question he raised, and it completely complies with the rules of the game.But in the eyes of everyone, this is not in line with the overall significance of the Belusay family.

The choice of Patriarch is of course the most talented and powerful person, and Helena's significance as a genius has far exceeded her identity.It is not in the actual interests of the family for people like her and Hyde to choose to give up. Although this is within the scope of the rules, it is actually a vicious provocation to constantly touch the rules.

Everyone is waiting for Helena's response, whether it's an ugly tear of face on the spot, or a compromise plan.

"That's good, I won't participate in this matter."

A woman lights a cigarette majestically in such a place,

"What else can you say now?"

Chapter 56 Fierce Responses

Her words created an uproar at the scene.No one thought that Helena Belusay, who was a popular candidate, would abstain so easily.

Even Jerome, who was the first to question, was speechless for a moment. He probably never expected to get such a result.In the initial expectation, this man was just planning to use this to get the other party to make more concessions.

On this occasion, she took a deep puff of the pipe in her hand, and the thick smoke made Elaine, who was not far away, frowned and covered her nose.

"I didn't intend to take anything away from my brother. I came to White Rose Manor just to visit the patient and see how he would deal with shameless trash like you."

She said this without aristocratic self-cultivation, nor did she have any scruples about the feelings of other people present.

"That's how you believe in a crippled man with damaged bloodline?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the boy who was obviously shorter than the others on the seat.The latter raised his chin and replied:

"If you dare to say this before, then I, a useless person, can cut off your head in less than a minute."

"This senseless—"

"It's not a bluff."

"What I mean is, I can just as well cut off your head if I spend a few more minutes, just in this ceremony."

Hyde, with a wide smile on his face, looked just like an amiable young teenager.But there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, only annoying pride and an imperceptible killing intent.

"I have no other opinion. You will regret your choice."

Jerome didn't pay attention to the other party's provocation, he just interrupted the topic with a stiff tone and sat back down.

Straw planned that the first tryout would start on time in the morning a week later, and the meeting would be declared over there.The specific content of the selection will be kept secret, and will be discussed by Straw himself during this period, as well as several other figures who were not present at the banquet, but who are equally respected.

The meeting was followed by a buffet-style dinner, and Ella was accosted by people she hadn't met before.

These wizards were trying to get some information from the executive about the selection a week later, or they just wanted to get acquainted in front of this big man.But almost without exception, they were all stopped by Ling before they approached.

They have already had a lot of experience in this kind of thing. On the day Ella took over as the executive officer, invitations from various family forces and letters applying for visits were piled up on her desk.If every letter has to be accepted one by one, her schedule may be queued until late next year.

Dmitry Dalton's opinion on this is to throw them all into the screening and crushing machine designed by Roger.Only a small number of letters that had cooperated with the alliance or mentioned specific matters were kept, and those such as other greetings or simple requests to meet were all shredded into fuel.

This has nothing to do with being polite, but that when she is in a different position, with her limited energy, she has to make a trade-off between really important things and irrelevant communication activities.

Holding a bottle of champagne, Ella was about to find Helena when they were suddenly stopped by a voice.

"Executive Sir Williams."

Following the voice, it was a young woman in her 20s.

She was wearing a black and white maid dress, but it was made of exquisite and well-cut materials. In terms of magic resistance and quality, it had at least reached the standard of an executor's regular suit.

With a cold and professional smile on her face, she handed over a black wooden box with both hands.

Ling stopped in front of her impatiently, but seemed to have noticed something suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly.

She leaned into Ira's ear and whispered:

"Look at the pattern on her neckline."

Ella noticed that it was a light blue ouroboros pattern with a dorsal fin, the same as the coat of arms on Elaine's carriage.

The attitude of the other party is respectful, and it is difficult for even the pickiest person to find out what is wrong.

"you are?"

Ella didn't reach for the wooden box.

"You can call me Lydia, I'm just an insignificant maid. This is a little respect from my master when we meet for the first time."

"Don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say."

It was Ling who answered instead of her.

This unfriendly attitude seemed to be expected by Lydia, she didn't pay much attention to it, and still maintained the same respect and elegance.

"My master Elaine Belusay hopes to pay you an official visit tonight."

Ella raised her head and noticed the strange sight projected from a certain seat. The girl named Elaine was toasting from a distance.

"Why don't you just come to me?"

"Master Elaine means that there are too many idle people on this occasion that are not suitable for a quiet conversation. She has some... private topics and wants to chat with you."

The second half of Lydia's sentence is slightly rude, which doesn't match her previous style.

For the first time, this professional maid showed a slightly embarrassed and awkward expression,

"This is my lord's original words. She doesn't allow me to make changes here. Please forgive me."

Ella thought for a while, but still did not accept the wooden box, but said that the other party could go to her guest room after the banquet.

Ling looked at Ella, her expression became quite strange.

After the maid left, she said in a somewhat unnatural tone:

"You actually agreed like that?"

"There's no harm in learning more about each other's information. Although Elaine Belusay and us are enemies from a standpoint, it's not to the point where we have to fight to the death..."

Ella replied.

"You are not charmed by her, are you?"

Ling pressed her shoulder and asked.

The silver-haired girl finally noticed the strangeness of the other party, and waved her hands to explain.
