Seeing that Miss Bayas was getting more and more understanding, Shade spoke quickly and tried to take the water bottle from his pants pocket with his right hand, but Miss Bayas immediately grabbed his wrist.
This seemed to be the second time tonight that he had been grabbed by the wrist.
The girl with long brown hair looked at Shade with her lifeless eyes:
"Detective, you won't lie to me, right?"
"......certainly."
"Okay, I'll explain it later, what exactly is going on."
She nodded and let go of Shade's wrist, signaling that it was ready for treatment.
The damage to Miss Bayas's eyes was similar to that of Miss Louisa a week and a half ago. Miss Anat's eyes were not injured at all. Shade believed that this was not because she closed her eyes in time, but that it was probably related to the eyes themselves.
related.
"Could it be the magic eye? But it doesn't have the whispering element."
The treatment method was the same as Miss Louisa's. Last time, Miss Louisa teased Shade for "wanting to do bad things." But this time, after Shade asked Miss Bayas to look up, the seventeen-year-old girl blushed.
Nothing was said.
After the treatment was over, the three of them did not stay here for long, but were led by Sha De to the second floor.
The rooms outside the banquet hall on the first floor are staff areas, while the rooms outside the banquet hall on the second floor allow guests to have private space to talk.
They found an empty room. After Shade locked the door, he saw Miss Anat sitting on the sofa and Miss Bayas with her hands folded on her chest and looking at the two of them. Tonight, the two girls were all dressed up for the banquet.
Put on a dress and high heels. Miss Anat's dress is purple, which matches the color of her eyes, while Miss Bayas's dress is pale gold.
There is no bustle, but the hem of the skirt hangs down naturally. The long skirt matches the well-proportioned figure, coupled with the light makeup on the face and the carefully taken care of the hair, the two ladies in front of them are indeed rare and beautiful girls.
Just when he was going up the stairs, Shade discovered that Miss Bayas was actually not used to this kind of shoes. She probably rarely attended such banquets.
Of course, no matter how much Shade praised the girls for their beauty in his heart, it could not change the awkwardness of the current atmosphere. When no one spoke, he took the initiative and said:
"You guys look so beautiful tonight."
According to Shade's logic, no matter what the situation, it is definitely right to praise ladies for their beauty.
"You look nice too, but please answer directly what I want to know."
Miss Anat smiled at Shade, while Miss Bayas said rudely. The serious expression on her face showed that she was not in a good mood now.
So Shade said again:
"I just saw you being dragged away on the second floor. I thought you were some bad guy... As long as you're not a bad guy, I was already ready for a fight."
She had just been complimented on her beauty, and now she understood that Shade had just knocked on the door to help her, and the serious expression on Miss Bayas's face relaxed a little.
She was still standing next to the sofa with her arms folded:
"Miss Anat and I just had an argument, but it's okay. It's okay. I didn't agree with her taking risks, but she insisted on doing that, so she took me to the first floor. You broke in just now, and we thought
Someone has discovered our plan. Oh, detective, don't change the subject. Please explain what I want to know."
"You sit down first."
Shade said, so the three of them sat down together, but there was silence for a few seconds. The female diviner with purple eyes and Shade looked at each other, and finally Shade spoke:
"Okay, Miss Bayas, I admit that I have known Miss Anat for a long time. We are the same group of ring magicians. You probably also know something about the chosen one. We are approaching you for this purpose. If you
If you want to know, you can say all these..."
"Wait a minute, that's not what I want to know now."
Miss Bayas shook her head and interrupted Shade's words, narrowing her eyes slightly:
"You and Miss Anat are both good people, I know this very well. What I want to know most now is, detective, are you the masked man under the silver moon?"
"What?"
Shade was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to bring up this topic. But then he immediately thought that Miss Bayas was also a witness to the Lakeview Manor incident. She had seen the unique silver moonlight and even his body shape.
After the "Lighting Technique" just now, she connected two lights together, and then connected two people together. Although this is not easy, it is not completely impossible.
"Detective, are you actually a thirteen-ring warlock?"
She asked again, her face flushed, which was a sign of anger. She was probably thinking of that peaceful snowy afternoon at No. 6 St. Teresa Square and the trust she had given her.
"No, no, no, even though I am that masked person, I really only have one ring."
As he spoke, he summoned the life ring behind him. The ordinary one-ring warlock's life ring, except for the bright aura of the three spiritual runes, there was nothing noteworthy about it:
"The church thinks I am a thirteen-ring warlock. I didn't say anything myself."
Speaking of which, he added:
"That day, I directly prevented the evil god from coming. Miss Bayas, I didn't do anything wrong. In some ways, we even saved the city."
"It turns out it was you that day..."
Looking at the life ring and hearing Shade's words, Miss Bayas's expression gradually returned to normal. She raised her eyebrows and even looked at Shade with some admiration:
"A first-level warlock faces the evil god? No, you probably didn't see it, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting in front of me, unless I'd also gone crazy. Then you..."
She still wanted to ask.
"Would you like to hear my story?"
Shade asked:
"If you want to know, we can tell you everything, the truth about Lakeview Manor, the Chosen One and "". Everything, if you want to know, we can tell you."
He looked at Miss Anat. The fortune teller finally spoke. She leaned on the back of the sofa, patted the soft cushion next to her with a very relaxed expression, and motioned for Miss Bayas to sit closer:
"Iluna, before the detective unexpectedly broke in, wasn't this what we were trying to talk about? But he interrupted us. If you want to continue listening, we can tell you everything you want to know.
And if you need an apology from us, you can ask for it after the story is over."
Miss Bayas didn't seem to be interested in Miss Anat, but looked at Shade suspiciously again:
"Are you really a first-level warlock? You didn't lie to me."
"Of course, that's absolutely true."
Seeing Shade's sincere expression, she nodded and was ready to listen to the story.
In the next half hour, Shade recounted the details of the Lakeview Manor incident. As long as it was trustworthy, there was nothing wrong with those things. He just slightly concealed the source of the power of the last kick and pushed it away.
Speaking of [The Puppet Operator's Script].
Miss Bayas had no doubts, but was confused about Shade's Silver Moon:
"Have you ever been blessed by any of the old gods related to Silver Moon? This power doesn't look right."
Then Miss Anat told the story about "" and the chosen one again, and explained clearly the reason why she got acquainted with Miss Bayas:
"That's right, Iluna, I just got close to you with ulterior motives, just to help you in the future, until the very end, to witness you pushing open that door."
Miss Anat's attitude of "that's what it is, so if you want to blame me, just listen here" really gave Miss Bayas a headache. Although the initial concealment was definitely wrong, the other party did not do anything.
It's bad, but it helps yourself everywhere.
Then he reached out and pointed to Shade:
"What about him? What role did the detective play in this?"
Miss Anat also told the truth:
"Iluna, if you say that I have ulterior motives for meeting you, I think it is you who are driving the progress of the relationship between you and Shade."
Shade nodded quickly in agreement. Miss Anat smiled and gradually took the initiative in the conversation:
"I told Shade a long time ago that he should not come into contact with you to prevent him from getting involved in the trouble you encountered and die because of his weak strength. But you see, he deliberately avoids you, but you always
Meeting him is not anyone's arrangement."
"Of course I know this. He passed my four-question test completely and is absolutely trustworthy."
Miss Bayas raised her head and said, indicating that Shade had gained complete trust again:
"That afternoon when it snowed, I already fully believed in him."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was no longer so resistant and that he knew everything, Shade nodded and stretched out his hand to Miss Bayas:
"In short, for different reasons, we all want to witness the last door mentioned in "". And now, if you are willing to accept our help and go together to witness and experience the epic of the Sixth Age, it is necessary to re-understand something.
Come down and express your trust. Shad Hamilton, who may be 21 years old at the moment, is a detective and part-time MI6 agent, has the title of knight, and is a first-level warlock."
Miss Bayas looked at him, then reached out and held his hand. Her hand was very strong:
"So far, I am willing to maintain such trust, but detective, you know, I hate deception... Iluna Bayas, 17 years old, a ring warlock of the Orthodox Church and a part-time employee of Blackstone Security Company,
Second-level warlock."
The two held their hands together, shook them gently and then let go.
Miss Bayas looked at Miss Anat again:
"Miss Anat, I trust the detective because he is trustworthy, so how do you regain my trust?"
"The chosen ones are destined to be promoted to the Thirteenth Ring, but this does not mean that they will not die in the process. The life of the chosen ones must be a magnificent adventure, and there will definitely be no shortage of troubles, big and small. Iluna, you need
Help, then, do you think you need my help?"
She also extended her hand to Miss Bayas, who hesitated before taking it:
"You brought the location information of the Silver Eyed One. I think you are trustworthy."
Miss Anat winked at Shade, presumably not to reveal the source of the information:
"Do you need me to introduce myself? Luvia Anat, a diviner from the Prophet Association and a three-ring sorcerer. The slight deception in the past was for the sake of mutual trust in this matter. I promise that similar situations will not happen in the future."
Shade noticed that Miss Anat did not mention her age, but he wisely did not ask about it at this time.
The lights in the room were very bright, and the three people under the gas lights all had their own thoughts.
Shade looked at them, wondering what the unknown and dangerous road ahead would be like.
He just hoped that when this road came to the end, the two girls beside him tonight would be able to see the door open with him intact.
