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

"How is it possible... Of course we will wait for her visit together. I just want to get in touch with that Elaine in advance."

Elaine is not a wizard in the normal sense. In Ella's past experience, only Sylph, the wind fairy from the Snow Country, has a similar nature to the other party.They are also creatures that rely on their own talents and abilities to act. The difference is that the latter have systematically studied magic in the material world and can exert their power more comprehensively.

Opponents like this are definitely worthy of vigilance, not to mention the two troublesome rules and restrictions imposed by Heide in the meeting just now, which disrupted Ella's original plan by a little bit.

"Let's go to Helena first... I didn't expect her to respond in such a violent way."

This really doesn't seem like a smart approach, at least it shouldn't be the way a Beru Sai should respond.

Jerome, who made the provocation, must have been delighted by the unexpected harvest.

"I want to know exactly what she's thinking."

Chapter 57 As far as the eye can see

In the direction of the garden outside the banquet hall, it is relatively deserted away from the crowd.The bright lights in the room passed through the doors and curtains, leaving some black shadows of different lengths on the ground.

The puppet leaned against the same cold stone pillar as her, and did not participate in the banquet just now, while Helena sat on the stone fence not far from her.

The shadow squinted his emerald green eyes, and looked towards a certain direction in the room through the gap between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the curtain.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you."

Miss Doll spoke first, but did not move her eyes.

"Why are you thanking me?"

With a cigarette holder in her mouth, Helena lay lazily at the intersection of the fence and the stone pillar.

"You're a smart man, I don't want to and don't need to speak so thoroughly... Tch."

She looked at Helena who was pretending to be stupid with an innocent expression and couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Although the succubus has a good bloodline, it's just an immature little girl. Jerome seems mysterious, but after all, his strength is limited. No matter what his backhand is, there is always a way to deal with it... . . . Of these so-called competitors, you alone are the most dangerous in my opinion."

"Whether it is talent or pedigree, you are no worse than him in perfect condition. And Hyde is actually a pretty weak guy. When dealing with opponents who have a certain relationship with him, he will definitely not be able to go all out."

"So I want to thank you for taking this opportunity to get out."

The words of the shadow made Helena look at her more, and the latter noticed that the doll's green eyes had not moved from the beginning to the end. Following her gaze, one could see the confident figure in the center of the banquet hall, after losing many auras. Still a brilliant young man.

Although they didn't participate in the banquet, the puppet observed someone's every move in the way it was used to.

"Would you like one?"

Helena offered a cigarette.

Shadow held it in his mouth curiously, then made one of his fingertips turn red and hot, lit the cigarette by touching it, and took a deep breath.

Mars flickered in the night and then a lot of white smoke.

Because there are silver organs similar to lungs in the structure of the puppet body, which can absorb and filter the magic power in the air, so she can also complete the breathing process similar to humans.

Most of the cigarettes were burned into white ash in this powerful breath, and then a large amount of smoke gushed out from the shadow's mouth, nose, and even the ear holes and behind the eyeballs.

Helena was taken aback by how she looked covered in smoke, and then laughed.

"It's not like this, haha...don't you feel choked?"

"The temperature of the smoke is less than [-] degrees. Even without the magical protection, my internal structure can at least withstand a high temperature of more than [-] degrees."

The shadow took a deep breath, recaptured the escaped smoke into the organs of the chest cavity, and then analyzed,

"It's just some oily aroma, substances similar to stimulants, and other high-temperature mixed gases. If used for a long time, it should cause a burden to human health...It's hard to understand why you humans like this strange thing .”

Listening to the puppet's serious analysis, Helena was stunned for a moment, and then snatched back the remaining half of the cigarette.

She took a deep breath, then sighed contentedly.

"What a waste, this is obviously the best thing about me."

She looked at the shadow still leaning on the stone pillar looking at the hall, and suddenly smiled.

"But I have slightly changed my opinion of you. I thought you were just a monster of unknown origin who approached my brother for some purpose."

The puppet raised its mouth, then waved its hands and jumped off the garden platform.

"Isn't it? I don't think there's anything wrong with your statement—it just so happens that they're here too, so I'll go back first. Those two guys seem to have something to ask you."

-

Ella saw a flashing shadow in the garden, and she seemed to have talked to Helena before herself.

"Miss Helena."

She said hello and walked over quickly holding champagne.

"How did you just..."

Ling also asked,

"yes,"

"In this way, only the insidious guy named Jerome will benefit, and his strongest enemy will be one less, just in case..."

What Ling didn't finish was that if Hyde fails when Helena abstains, the position of Belusay's heir will fall into the hands of the other two. This is the most unacceptable result.

But she had no way and no way to say such words.

Helena seemed to guess what she had left to say.

"If I don't abstain here, our side will most likely be saddled with more restrictions - which is okay for me, but it will make it difficult for Hyde to win."

"Even after he's eliminated, it doesn't make sense for me to kill the other two. I didn't want to be Straw's heir in the first place."

"So, instead of being tied up later, it's better to put all your chips on Hyde in advance."

As she said this, she took a drag on her cigarette.

"You should trust your companions a little more, right? Compared to my elder sister who hasn't met my younger brother for many years, you should know better than me what kind of person he is, right?"

"It's also..."

-

Hyde stood at a high place in the banquet hall, looking down at everything in the hall with the help of the terrain.

He could feel that countless eyes were gathering on him, some of them were kindness, malice, contempt, hostility, jealousy, hatred, or speculators who were suspicious of the news of his damaged bloodline, trying to cast chips at this time to get points. benefit after the fact.

Hyde knew these people all too well.

From a very young age, he could see the essence through those masks.Interests, those people are nothing more than chasing things that are beneficial to themselves, but vision and knowledge limit the size of the interests they can see.

He swung his glass, ignoring the gazes of these people.

The young man raised his glass slightly, but he didn't respond to those false compliments or malicious guys around him.From the middle of the banquet, he could feel the gaze from outside the hall, which did not contain warmth, but was not mixed with any hypocrisy.

Before the other party left, he raised his glass and drank the liquid in the glass.

Hyde could understand Helena's choice, she was a proud person, she would not be willing to deal with the remaining two after she lost as an insurance measure.Helena will only throw all her chips in an extreme way in advance.

"Isn't the pressure all on me?"

"But it doesn't matter... It's enough to admit defeat once."

Chapter 58 Wheels

Ella lives in a single-family house. The southeastern area of ​​this private estate covering more than [-] acres is a group of villas exclusively for guests.

Outside the white building is a spacious and flat gravel road, and black step grass on both sides.

This area is close to gardens and small artificial lakes, and it is far away from the main castle. It is quite quiet, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to take a carriage to and from the two places.

In the center of the garden is a small temple dedicated to the family's deities.

There are servants arranged by the mansion in each house, and they will stay quietly in the room after work according to the preferences of the guests, without disturbing them.

Ella is admiring the collections of the Belusse family in the 20-meter-long ceramic corridor on the first floor. Although they cannot be compared with those in the main castle, they are all expensive even from the perspective of Ella, a layman. And full of artistic flavor.

"Your Excellency Williams, Miss Elaine and her servants are outside the door. They said they had made an appointment with you to visit at this time."

A maid reminded in a low voice.

"Let them come in, it's in the living room on the first floor. You prepare some refreshments, and then stay in the room and don't come out...Well, I will call you when I need it."

-

Five minutes later, Ella and Ling saw Elaine Belusay, who was conservatively dressed in a black veil, and her maid Lydia in the living room on the first floor.

"Good evening, dear Miss Executive...and this Miss Mephistopheles."

The former greeted enthusiastically, but frowned slightly after realizing Ling's existence, and then blamed with some dissatisfaction:

"But I should have said that I want to meet with you alone to discuss some private topics."

Didn't you bring that maid yourself too... Thinking so, Ella returned a polite and indifferent smile.

"I don't think we're familiar enough to need to reveal each other's secrets, and there are no secrets between me and Ling."

But this did not anger the other party as much as she expected. Elaine's eyes lit up when she lifted the veil, and her cheeks turned red with excitement.

"I understand, that's why she and her family formed an alliance in the years when you disappeared, right? Whether it was out of emotion, interest or something, in those years they were able to face people like you and me. It was still too little, and time finally revealed the answer before everyone’s eyes. I have to admit that the Alliance does have an outstanding vision that transcends the times!”

"I remember that the source of Mephisto's bloodline is also related to demons, right? Maybe they are the beneficiaries of the torrent of history."

"So the rise of the alliance is inevitable, and your choice will inevitably allow you to replace the executors of the past and become a new giant supporting the future of the mysterious world."

A beneficiary of the torrent of history, an outstanding vision beyond the times?A newborn giant supporting the future of the mysterious world?What is this and what?

In other words, Elaine's appearance is completely different from the portraits that Ella has drawn for her based on the data. The silver-haired girl always thinks that Elaine will be a calmer and more thoughtful guy.

But the other party acted a little... off-key, or naive?

Ella was confused, and out of the corner of her eye, Ling had the exact same expression on her face.

On the other hand, Ella noticed that when she made these inexplicable exclamations, the red-haired girl in front of her eyes obviously became a little excited.

The color of her pupils gradually changed from sky blue to golden yellow, and the shape of her pupils was a regular rectangle that turned into black.This is a fairly common trait found on high demons.

Not only that, Elaine's wide-brimmed hat was pushed up by something that gradually grew larger, and her slender black tail protruded from under the specially designed hakama and swung left and right.
