Chapter 189 Dance Party

7days ago Fantasy Novels 14
A firm nose, sparse eyebrows, slightly drooping cheeks, light blue eyes... Zillingers looked at himself in the mirror and looked up and down several times, confirming that there was no difference with the unconscious man.

After gesturing the other party's habitual movements, he bent down and dragged the man on the ground aside and stuffed it into the wardrobe.

Then, he stretched out his right hand forward and pinched the other person's neck with a click.

Taking out the handkerchief and wiping the palm of his hand, Zillingus pulled over the door of the wardrobe.

He slowly returned to the dressing mirror, put on a black double-breasted dress, tied a bow tie, then picked up a bottle of amber perfume, dripped a few drops on his wrist, and then wiped it on different parts of his body.

Looking in the mirror and combing his hair, Zillingers walked out of the door, closed it casually, and said to the butler who was waiting outside:

Don't let anyone enter my room with important items.

Yes, Baron!The mottled butler pressed his hands on his chest and bowed to salute. Your carriage and accompanying servants were waiting for you downstairs, and the invitation from the Duke of Negan was there.

Zillingers maintained the baron's style, nodded slightly invisibly, and accompanied by the butler, he walked proudly towards the stairs.

Haha, a baron who was burdened with a lot of debts and even ordinary security personnel were reluctant to hire, actually maintained the configuration of a butler, a personal servant, two attendants, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, two laundry maids, a coachman, a horse feeder, a gardener, a chef, and a chef assistant. For these stupid nobles, decent is really better than anything else... This made me waste time learning their weird pronunciations of certain words and so-called aristocratic accents... Zillingers thought coldly and disdainfully in his heart.

…………

Beckland, Joewood District, in some narrow apartment.

Hudilcha sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Forthwall, who reads the novel with the help of the window:

It was so desperate that Zillingers had no clue left at all, and he could never find out what he wanted to do in Beckland.

According to the scheduled plan, they called the police and secretly sent a letter to the police station where they were accepted, describing in detail the strange situation at the scene of the murder and the suspected criminal Zillingers.

The police department's reaction was not beyond their expectations, and was cautious and directly handed over to the team of punishment agents.

After a day of brewing, the incident of Lieutenant General Zillingers sneaking into Beckland spread across various law enforcement teams, and Hugh and Forth also left their originally rented places and hid in order to conduct a hidden investigation.

They do not want to be retrieved from the police station to assist in the investigation. Whether it is the punishment person, the night watcher, or the members of the Mechanical Heart team, they are hostile to extraordinary people who are not official and regard them as potential criminals.

So Hugh and Forth are not only escaping Zillingers' possible pursuits, but also avoiding those law enforcement officers.

If we could find out his purpose so easily, Zillingus would have been buried in the cemetery, and the tombstones must have been covered with lush weeds.Fors replied calmly, what we need is patience. As long as this intensity of investigation continues, Zillingers will inevitably make mistakes. It has to be said that magical objects that can change into different appearances are really enviable.

Hug hugged his knees with both hands and looked at the windowsill and said:

I was just worried that Zillingers would act in a short time and then flee from Beckland before everyone could react.

In that case, I don't know when I will be promoted to Sequence 8, let alone Sequence 6, Sequence 5...

She paused for a few seconds and whispered in a daze:

I don’t know when I will get back what belongs to our family… I haven’t seen my younger brother for almost a year…

Forsy smiled and said:

When you fulfill your wish, please allow me to write your experience into a story. This will definitely be very exciting and interesting.

Well, actually I think with Miss Audrey's generosity, she will give us a generous bounty even if the matter ends like this. After all, we have been busy for so long, and after all, we let Zillingers show up on his own initiative.

Hope this is... Alas, why can't I have an adventure?Xiu grabbed his shoulder-length blonde hair randomly.

Fors frowned slightly and said:

In the extraordinary world, adventures are often accompanied by danger. I still don’t know what the whisper that appears at the full moon represents and whether it will cause any bad changes. Haha, adventures without danger also exist, but they are very, very rare. Your wishes are really difficult to realize unless we can get the favor of the orthodox god or the gaze of a friendly secret existence. However, it is difficult for us to tell whether this is the disguise of the evil god and the demon.

Don’t straighten your back and draw a crimson moon on your chest:

May the goddess protect me!

…………

The Duke of Negan is in the residence of Queens in Bakerland, and a grand ball is underway.

Here are two parts, one is the dancing hall. It is located on the ground floor, covered with ornate stone slabs carved with complex patterns, and there is an excellent band belonging to the duke in the corner. Going up the stairs of the hall, there is a corridor on the second floor, which is surrounded by a circle. The guests hold wine glasses and stand in front of the railings, looking down at the dance below, similar to watching fencing from the stands. From time to time, gentlemen walk to the lady or wife to invite them to dance together. If allowed, both parties will hold hands and walk down the stairs and enter the hall.

On the other side of the corridor that is not close to the hall, there are doors after door, and the back basically belongs to the guest lounge.

But behind the door that opened across the door was a corridor, with different plaster statues standing on both sides, all of which belonged to the ancestors of the Negan family.

As we come to the end, we can see another part of the dance. It is also a hall with long tables placed with various food and wine. Another band belonging to the Duke played melodious and relaxing music for the guests.

In this hall, guests gathered together in groups of three or five, sitting or standing to communicate with various things. Those who hoped to escape the hustle and bustle for a while will enter the balcony attached to the hall and look at the scenery in the garden and the red moon in the sky.

Audrey Hall, who skipped the opening dance, was originally standing on the second floor of the dance hall, staring blankly at the huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the roof, and looking at the candles on it, but found that many people were ready to move. After thinking about coming to invite the dance, she wisely left here and stepped onto the corridor leading to the restaurant.

It's really boring, but I can't ignore it... Alas, can't they let me observe there quietly?

I have to say that some people's expressions are really rich when dancing, which always reminds me of those courtship animals... Audrey looked down at her toes and walked in boredom.

At this moment, she saw a figure approaching from the corner of her eyes, quickly slowing down, straightening her back, and instantly turning back into the elegant and quiet Miss Hall.

Hello Baron Gramir.Audrey greeted with a perfect smile and manners.

Baron Gramir, who had sparse eyebrows and light blue eyes, smiled and said:

Hello Miss Hall, you are the brightest and most dazzling gem of this dance.

After a few greetings, Baron Gramir walked towards the dance hall, while Audrey continued to approach the restaurant location.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly frowned, her green eyes full of doubt:

Baron Gramir is not the same as usual. Ah...

In the past, when he saw a lady and wife with a higher status than him and more beautiful position, his eyes would shift to the side, and he would not dare to look directly, and then he kept sneaking around... But today he seemed very confident...

Also, the smell of his perfume is not right. When he attended various parties, he used to exude the tail notes of the perfume of "amber". The musk is pure and light, not showing off but noble. In other words, he would spray the perfume a few hours in advance so that the top and middle notes could evaporate before the banquet. But just now, the fragrance on his body was the middle notes of "amber", dense and elegant...

Audrey's pace is getting slower and slower. As an audience member who has completely digested the potion, her sensitivity to detail is beyond the reach of other extraordinary people.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her bright green eyes froze:

Could it be Zilingus pretending to be?

‘Crampant hunger’ has the ability to make people change into different appearances!

……

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. Her heart suddenly raised, nervous and panicked.

If it was really a 'Levers-General of Hurricane', what would he want to do?Unfortunately, I can't bring Susie to this dance, otherwise I could let him secretly observe Baron Gramir just now... No, I must remind my dad!With a lot of thoughts, Audrey speeded up and entered the restaurant, finding Earl Hall who was communicating with the chief secretary of the cabinet and others.

She outlined an impeccable smile and walked over, holding Count Hall's arm, saying to the others:

Dear sirs, can I borrow Earl Hall for a few minutes?

Beautiful lady, this is your right.Several gentlemen responded kindly.

Audrey pulled Count Hall to the nearest balcony, found a secluded corner, and said to her middle-aged fat father:

Dad, I have something to tell you.

Earl Hall originally had a doting smile, but seeing her daughter's expression was very serious, she also became serious:

What's the matter?

I just met Baron Gramir, but he was different in some details than before. For example, the perfume on him belonged to the middle notes of ‘amber’, which were the tail notes before, for example... Audrey said the difference he observed, which could be explained with keenness and care.

After describing what happened just now, she carefully added:

I heard Viscount Glylint mention that 'Levers General' Zillingers has the ability to change into the appearance of others. Hasn't he been in Beckland recently?

After listening quietly, Earl Hall's expression became extremely solemn.

But he quickly smiled and comforted his slightly panicked daughter and said:

I will deal with it. You go find your mom and stay with her, and she is in the lounge in this hall.

OKAudrey nodded obediently.

On the way to the lounge, she looked back at her father and saw that Earl Hall was whispering something with a nobleman, with a serious expression.

Audrey's heart couldn't help but hang up again, feeling that she had to do something to avoid hurting her father, mother and brother.

Looking around, she changed direction, left the dining room, entered a corridor, and familiarly found the small prayer room at the Duke of Negan’s house.

She pushed the door open and locked it with her backhand, looked at the symbol of the Lord of the Storm in front of her, and subconsciously found a secluded and dark corner.

Audrey sat down, leaned forward, holding her hands in a prayer position against her forehead.

Then she chanted in Hermis:

Ah, the fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray fog, and you are the king of yellow and black who controls good luck.
