"I won't bring the remaining two stones to the table. They are not clean after all. Of the two stones, one is also part of the seal, and the other is left by the Ring Warlock back then to describe the whole thing A stele of experience. But unfortunately, only a part of the stele is left, and there is even less information that can be interpreted.”

Xia De said regretfully. "What's written on it?"

Miss Lathers asked curiously.

"A warning, the demon I'm going to deal with is like a mirror itself, at least in the eyes of humans. Therefore, apart from its weird contract ability, manipulative conspiracy and its own fighting power, it is very good at hiding itself, Transform yourself into any living or non-living thing you see."

Shad said:

"That's why the stele warns people in the future that if they want to catch the demon again after breaking free, they must pay attention to its hidden ability."

"Is there a way to decipher this ability? For example, some special relics?" Miss Benaniss asked, Shad shook his head:

"These are the only remnants of the stele that I can find. I have searched in the mud for a long time but have not found other parts. Moreover, it is too late to find the relic now. Fortunately, my friend in Tobesk, here gave me a special bottle of eye drops, which will help me and enhance my tracking ability."

"Then have you ever thought about it, since you met that maid yesterday evening, everything is a trap set by the devil for you?"

Miss Galina asked again, Xia De shook his head, cut off a small piece of sausage and gave it to Mia:

"I thought about it, so after I went back last night, I visited a 'demon expert'." He analyzed it with me and thought that what the maid said was probably true. "

Saying that, he put down the ring, and asked Iluna, "This is for you, do you want it?"

The table became quiet all of a sudden, and all the ladies looked at Xia De in surprise. Iluna was also very surprised, looked around with some anxiety, and then asked softly:

"Give me...the ring?"

"I already have one, and it's useless to hold a second one. The fate of the chosen one means that you will encounter demons one day, so isn't it suitable for you?"

"Is that so...""

So chatting and laughing resumed at the table, and Xia De looked at the witches in surprise, not quite understanding why they paid so much attention to this matter just now.

"Then leave it here with me first."

Iluna nodded, stretched out her hand, pretending to be casual and said, "Help me put it on..."

"Cough cough."

Miss Galina coughed, so the seventeen-year-old girl reluctantly took the ring from Shad's hand, and then caught a glimpse of Miss Rita Swift giggling, and Hayley Aurora The young lady stared at the bacon in front of her, as if studying the artistry of breakfast.

"Speaking of which, is there anyone else going to Margaret's banquet tonight besides me?" Xia De asked curiously again.

"Me, Sirius, and Sylvia are all going." Miss Benanis said:

"I'm a baron, and I have some reputation in the local area." She was too humble.

"Although Sylvia is traveling in a private name, she is also the princess's tutor and personal doctor, so she was also invited."

"I also received the invitation, but I declined." Miss Aurora said:

"Tonight, Galina and I will go to the Temple of the Dark Soul you mentioned. Since it cannot be ruled out that it is the place where the Chosen Ceremony will be held, we will go to observe the terrain in advance. After we come back, we will talk to you again. Sister Devlin met, and then entered the parliament to report the situation to the speaker."

"I came here secretly, and the banquet has nothing to do with me."

The Duchess of the North Country said, and Miss Hayley Aurora, Tifa and Miss Rita Swift also have their own missions, so I won't go. Hayley is going to sign a deal with the local chamber of commerce instead of Miss Aurora, and Tifa goes to the Temple of the Night with the big witch

, Miss Swift is waiting to contact Granny Cassandra, and she has to go to the black market to collect the news that the witches spent a lot of money to inquire about a while ago.

As for Iruna--

"I can go or not. Her Royal Highness has sent several anonymous invitation letters to the local churches, but you also know that everyone has been very busy recently. Therefore, except for a few ordinary priests, out of maintenance and The reason for the relationship with the royal family will come out, and other invitations are useless... Oh, the Church of Peace sent two teams into that manor to prevent the cultists from making any more troubles."

Iruna squinted at Shad, "So, do you need me?"

"You should rest well, even if you go, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet." Iluna nodded regretfully:

"That's right, then I'll stay in the church. I wish you a good time tonight, Shad. But don't stay late at the banquet, and you have to deal with the devil tomorrow night."

The evening banquet arrived as scheduled, and the venue was still at the manor where Margaret stayed.

Because there was nothing to do today, Xia De came to the manor early at six o'clock in the evening on this Thursday. He did not bring a female companion. After all, Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanis should not have any contact with his identity.

This is not a banquet that is purely for fun like a wedding banquet. Because of the riots in Mason Street a few days ago and the attacks Margaret and Prince William received in the Mason Association, most of the local nobles knew the purpose of this banquet. Therefore, when the guests who came to the banquet entered the arena, most of them had serious faces and whispered to their companions or acquaintances, which made the banquet a bit serious from the very beginning.

The brightly lit banquet hall was quickly filled with well-dressed men and women. Although most people knew the purpose of the banquet, the tense atmosphere quickly relaxed as the band's violin music flooded the lights like a wave. The glasses and silverware on the table reflected the light of the gas lamp, and the gold and silver jewelry of the ladies shone brightly in the banquet hall.

Margaret and Prince William did not show up in the banquet hall immediately, but the butler of the manor, as well as the royal attendants who accompanied the prince and princess on a visit, received the guests at the door.

Shard knew that Margaret and her brother were presumably in the final stages of negotiations with representatives of the Stonemasons Guild for a joint speech to be delivered later at the banquet. Therefore, he did not go to Margaret, nor did he go to Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia, but just looked at the two great witches from a distance, talking and joking with the local noble ladies on the sofa. , and Miss Lathers was nowhere to be seen.

He came again alone, in front of the window where he talked with Mr. Enriquez last time, squinting his eyes with a glass of wine, looking at the people behind him from the reflection on the glass window:

"Really, quiet night."

The red wine glass was shaken slightly by Shad, and the liquid surface formed a subtle vortex. Seeing his posture, the people nearby knew that he didn't want to talk to strangers now, so no one took the initiative to talk to Xia De.

Xia De originally looked at the reflection on the window, but unexpectedly saw Stone Oxenfurt's figure flash past in the shadow of the garden outside the window.

He asked Margaret, and her original intention was that this banquet mainly invited local nobles, and Oxenfurt, who was only a businessman, was not invited. However, Prince William, who has a very good relationship with Oxenfurt, gave him an invitation letter, so it is normal to see Oxenfurt:

"What is he going to do again?"

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and there was still about an hour and a half before the scheduled public speech. So, Xia De planned to go outside to take a look. Anyway, he didn't believe that Stone Oxenfurt dared to fight him here.

So holding a glass of wine, he passed the reporter who was choosing a suitable location for taking photos in the banquet hall, and passed the crowd playing Rhodes cards at the table on the right side of the door. Xia De walked out from the door of the banquet hall, and then walked through the corridor to the outdoor.

The night in the Randall Valley in March, although the night wind is still cold, is much softer than the real cold winter. For some reason, there are only a few gas lamps in the manor garden today

is lit.

So Xia De walked through the night, and soon came to the place where he saw Oxenfurt just now. He even glanced at the window where he was standing a few minutes ago, and was very happy to see that no one occupied his position for the time being.

"But what about people?"

Xia De didn't have the unique ability to observe the footprints on the ground and find people based on the traces, but fortunately, no matter how large the manor was~www.readwn.com~ the area of ​​the garden was still limited after all. In addition, most of the guests were waiting indoors for the result of the mediation between the heirs of the Anjou family and the Stonemasons Association, so there was no one outside.

Xia De relaxed and closed his eyes, listened carefully, then shook the red wine glass he was holding, and walked towards the stables in the southeast corner of the manor.

There were quite a few guests today, but no one came on horseback at all, so there were only the manor's own horses in the stables. The horseman was not here, and the gas lamps were not lit at all near the stables.

When Shard came along the path among the evergreen bushes, he saw only the faint light of a kerosene lamp coming from the gap in the stable gate.

He glanced into it through the crack of the door, and then saw Stone Oxenfurt standing in the middle of the stable with a pitchfork in his hand. On the ground was a man with one hand on the ground to support his body, and the other hand in front of him to protect himself. Obese middle-aged man. The latter kept crawling on the ground towards the door.

Both of them wore decent banquet dresses, except that the fat man wore a modern black formal dress, while Oxenfurt wore a robe with some local characteristics of Randall Valley. Sniffing carefully, you can even smell the overturned red wine in the smell of feed and horse manure in the air.
