Chapter 247 Charity Dinner
Throughout the day on Thursday, Shade and Miss Beas and Anna Miss Te, all staying at No. 6 St. Teresa Square, constantly repeating and analyzing their plans, and using the large space in the basement to practice Mystic Art in cooperation with each other.

Shade learned a lot from this process, because it was equivalent to him being taught how to fight by two girls.

It was only then that he realized that in the nearly one month since he came to this world, he never seemed to have the opportunity to fight one-on-one with any unfamiliar ring warlock. In the few battles that happened, either there were reliable friends around, or they used the characteristics of relics to make targeted contacts.

In the process of breaking into the ruins tonight, in addition to the dangers of the silver-eyed people and the ruins themselves, they will definitely come into contact with the ring warlock of [Blood of Mercury]. To experience the true sense of the First Stage ring warlock battle.

During the day, no one visited St. Teresa Square, but Miss Bayas had to go back to Blackstone Security, where she was on duty for the two hours at noon. When I came back, I brought back bad news:

"Our Squad has also been arranged to act against the cultists of [The Lord of the Blood Feast] by the Orthodox Church at night."

"What?"

Both Shade and Miss Anat stood up from their chairs. The protagonist of the night's action was Miss Bayas. If she wasn't there, the action would be meaningless.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, our squad is not scheduled to enter the banquet."

Miss Beas said, sitting on the sofa closest to the "snow" area:
"We were asked to guard the perimeter to make sure that no one would break in when the church purges the cultists at the banquet. I have already asked for leave, Captain said that this matter is inherently dangerous, and it is more in line with his idea that I do not participate. ."

Miss Anante checked her notebook immediately:
"It's no problem, it doesn't matter if we don't have it, but you can't be without you."

Shade relaxed, continue to frowned to think about the context of the whole plan.

Xiaomi squatted on the sofa beside her, scratching the holy emblem that could use the disposable "Sunshine Gun" with her small claws. No one paid attention to it, the orange cat gently fiddled with the holy emblem and twitched its nose gently, as if sniffing something.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two ladies left St. Teresa Square first, and agreed to meet Shade at the hotel near the printing house above the entrance of the ruins at seven o'clock.

Half an hour later, it was still bright and the carriage stopped downstairs at Shade's house. Having prepared enough cat food for Mia, Shade met the maid, Miss Tifa Serveit, in the carriage.

"Everything is going according to plan, you don't have to do anything superfluous at the banquet, go according to plan, and leave."

She handed the invitation to Shade, and the banquet was in the city in the mansion of the count of Maupassant. Count Maupassant is very old and cultivated in a family manor in the south, while his son became a cultist who believed in the [Lord of the Blood Feast] a few years ago. Tonight's banquet, he is one of the organizers.

The banquet, which invited many famous people in the city, was ostensibly a "charity dinner" held by Little Maupassant to raise money for the renovation of the Tobesque University district. In fact, all invited guests are sacrifices to Evil God. And Shade's invitation letter was obtained by Miss Galina through a special way.

Since the cultists and the Church of the Righteous God have a lot of people at the banquet, in order to prevent exposure of identity, Shade temporarily handed all the relics to the maid Tifa for temporary safekeeping, just like when he went to the Yodell Palace. The same, while Miss Tifa Serveit gave Shade a wad of banknotes to go to a charity auction later.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Shade asks as he flips through the invitation, while the carriage starts slowly. The rain last night has not stopped until now, but the rain is already very small and does not affect people's normal travel.

"Don't go out of the plan, especially don't go to the third floor, which is basically full of cultists, including Mr. Lawrence who is the flesh of Evil God is also on the third floor. Anyone who goes in or out of the third floor , will attract the attention of cults and cultists."

The maid said, Shade denounced the church, and looked at the invitation card with a serious expression.

"There are no other things that need attention, just follow the plan. The lady's carriage is parked in the alley outside the Maupassant manor, and she will come to rescue us if necessary. Remember, after the matter is over, I will You will be sent out of the manor. During the banquet, you must not wander around."

"No problem."

Shade nodded, but couldn't help but ask again:
"Will the Supreme Sun Cult's thirteen-ring warlock 'Sunshine Sword' Mr. Hogg Rundle also appear at the banquet?"

"Yes, he uses a special method After changing his appearance, he attended charity dinners as a representative of the church. But you won't meet him, don't worry about that."

Shade nodded again, and the maid said softly:

"Don't be too nervous. I've been following Miss since I was fifteen years old. We have all experienced more dangerous situations. This kind of scene is actually not very dangerous."

"There is nothing better than participating in preparations. A dinner party dedicated to Evil God, something more dangerous?"

Shade couldn't help asking.

"Two unknowable (level 0) relics went out of control together. That time, the council dispatched six Great Demon women to forcibly suppress the accident. Even after that incident"

She lowered her voice:

"A Great Demon woman died because of this."

"If you have time, tell me this story next time."

p>

"Okay."

The maid said softly, while Shade took a deep breath and turned his head to look towards the rain outside the window:
"Tonight, it finally begins."

This donation-themed dinner is actually a cult sacrifice ceremony. And the topic of "donation" has nothing to do with poor people like Shade no matter how you look at it. But the nobles and wealthy people of Tobesque seem to like this kind of banquet very much.

By the time the carriage stopped in front of the Maupassant Count's mansion, many people had arrived from other parts of the city. At the gate of the mansion, there were also people waiting for Shade in advance.

Shade got off the carriage with the maid Miss Tifa, and five women immediately greeted him, three of them dressed as middle-aged noble ladies, and the other two were young maids.

The five people saluted the maid next to Shade very respectfully. Among the ranks of the Demoness Council, Miss Tifa Serveit probably belongs to the very top.

These are the members of the Demoness Council under Miss Galina's jurisdiction. The five people are naturally all ring warlocks, and even without using the voice in Shade's heart to judge, the lady maid told Shade about them:

"One with six rings, one with five rings, one with four rings, and one with two rings. A three-ring. Sorry, detective, the Orthodox Church is very strict tonight, so I can't call more people to protect you."

In fact, it was beyond Shade's expectations to get so many people. . After all, he until now thought that Miss Galina was the only helper by her side, Miss Tifa Servette, because whatever the duchess wanted to do, either the maid or Shade would do it.

"I won't accompany you into the manor, and those who protect you won't get too close to you. Try to be natural. Your excuse for coming today is to help the lady in the charity auction. Buy a pen."

That pen was the one used by the late and well-known author Vicente Roberts of the Delarion kingdom, who died in 1850 and was in Delarion The status of the literary world has been unshakable for nearly three decades.

"Try not to use the ability of the ring warlock, the plan is very thorough, and there will be no problems." Enter the courtyard of the mansion.

Count Maupassant's mansion is incomparable with the Lake View Manor and the royal family's manor outside the city, but the number of guests invited is no less than those two times.

During the banquet, the courtyard of the mansion and the first and second floors of the entire house are fully open. The courtyard and the first floor are lively banquets, and there will be some elegant banquet games, while the various rooms on the second floor are used for small auctions, and the proceeds of the auction raise money for the university district.

Every guest who comes to the banquet can get an auction order list.

It was only at this time that Shade learned that to attend the banquet, he had to pay an "entry fee" of 10 pounds to the host of the banquet. These fees will also be donated to the university district of Tobesque in name, but in fact, once the cultists succeed, all the proceeds tonight will be divided between them and [Blood of Quicksilver].

The auction items were contributed by Maupassant counts and friends, and there were even two Rhodes cards with special rules. But the two cards were very late in the auction order, and Shade must have been out of here by then.

"It's my first time to attend a charity banquet."

Outsiders are curious about this place.

The servants in the courtyard were already setting dishes at the long table, and the guests gradually arrived. When entering the building, the men in formal suits and the women in dresses were unaware of the turmoil hidden under the banquet. But Shade, who has a very sensitive soul, just wandered around the lobby on the first floor a few times, and found at least 6 strange ring warlocks.

Shade took the glass from the tray held by the servant beside him. The glass contained a translucent yellow drink, which looked has several points of pear juice.

Before the time came, he stood on the first floor for a while with a glass in his hand. After calculating the time, holding a wine glass, he passed through the crowd and walked to the second floor.

In this kind of entertainment dinner, you can see the guests gathered to talk about things everywhere, and there are even many people standing on the stairs to talk about things. They only go to the second floor to participate in the auction when they are interested in a certain auction item, and Shade's current performance is that he wants to participate in the auction.

The corridor on the second floor is covered with a red carpet, and the large oil painting hanging on the stairway is Count Maupassant himself.

It's almost full of people, and the warm atmosphere is more evident than downstairs and in the courtyard.

Men in smart suits chatted with each other about interesting bids and compared their goals. Shade is tense, but relaxed. As he passed the stairs with the glass of wine, he heard the fat man use an outdated lewd joke to describe the pattern on the pair of metal vases that had just been auctioned off.

The atmosphere of the banquet was extremely lively, the gas lamps were extremely bright, and people's emotions were extremely high. Those who know the truth are waiting for time, and those who do not know the truth are still enjoying this quiet night.
