"This means not hiding my relationship with them. I don't want to say that I knew she was a witch yesterday. It would appear that I am not sincere."
Shade answered silently in his heart, and "she" just smiled.
"I'm Flora Winslet."
The lady standing in front of the window introduced herself in standard Kassenric and looked at Shade with interest:
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton. Or should I say, Knight Hamilton of Rejed?"
"you know me?"
Shade frowned slightly, then looked at Miss Daniste standing aside, who shook her head:
"I didn't say who you were, she guessed who you were just by hearing your name."
"Although you disguised your face, your handsome appearance and unique temperament, coupled with the name 'Shad' and the Delarian language you used to communicate, combined with these characteristics, it is easy for me to
came to a conclusion."
She raised her head slightly. Although Miss Sylvia and Margaret had the same accent as her, this witch spoke with a sense of beauty like the gurgling of a clear spring:
"And for professional reasons, I am still very concerned about your literary and artistic circles in the North. Unfortunately, Mr. Detective, I am familiar with the Delarian version of "Hamilton Detective Stories" and have also seen your photo in the newspaper.
Silhouette.”
"Well, good morning, Miss Winslet, may I take your words above as 'thank you for saving me'?"
Shade asked. Miss Daniste on the side almost laughed out loud, while the witch frowned slightly:
"It seems that you really don't know me. Didn't Carina say anything?"
Seeing Xia De raise her eyebrows, she pointed at herself:
"The eighth seat of the Witch Council, the great witch of death Flora Winslet, the eleventh ring warlock (note)."
As she spoke, she walked towards Shade and stretched out her hand. This action was quite strange because Shade was sitting now. Miss Daniste didn't understand, but Shade knew what she was planning.
But Shade didn't know what Miss Winslet wanted to say for a moment, so he stood up and shook her hand:
"Shad Hamilton, Eighth Ring, correspondence student at St. Byrons."
The two people held their hands together, and Shade clearly saw the surprised expression on the face of the witch in front of him at that moment, and then quickly changed back to the smile just now. As expected, after the handshake ended, she
Suddenly, he grabbed Shade's wrist again, and let go before Miss Denister could protest.
She looked down at the palm of her right hand:
"It seems it's not an illusion. This kind of thing really does happen. And why are your hands so hot?"
"Flora, what are you talking about?"
Miss Danist asked, but the witch kept the secret of the parliament and did not reveal it. Instead, she raised her head again and looked at Shade carefully. Each witch has her own unique perfume "Witch's Smell", and the scent of her perfume
It’s a light plum fragrance:
"I saw the news, you and Carina Cavendish"
Shade glanced at Miss Denister:
"Miss Daniste, can I speak to this lady alone?"
Although Miss Daniste could probably guess that at least one of the ladies in the Cavendish family was a witch, Shade didn't want to talk about this topic in front of her.
The eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress then pointed to the floor:
"This is my room, you don't want me to go out, do you?"
So Shade and Miss Winslet temporarily went to her room No. 321. This room was larger than Miss Daniste's room, and when you entered the door, you could see the piano placed in front of the window.
You can directly see the "Golden Music Hall" from the window. When night falls, the lights of the Golden Music Hall are turned on, and it is probably a very elegant thing to play the piano alone in the room.
But after the door was closed, the first words spoken by the owner of the room leaning against the door were not elegant at all:
"Shad Hamilton, you don't want other witches to know about you and Carina, right?"
She said it with a smile.
"Sorry, what do you mean?"
Shade, who was looking at the piano just now, turned around and asked. The witch at the door picked up the glasses case from the cabinet and put on the gold-rimmed glasses, which added to the bookish look on her body.
Those glasses are a relic:
"We are all smart people. Now that I know your identity, I don't believe that you and Carina are innocent. Carina should have known about the specialness of your 'man' last summer, right?"
She re-read the word "man" with an easy smile on her face. Her leather shoes stepped on the carpet. She walked towards Shade and held his wrist. Shade wanted to break away, but she held Shade's hand.
Be tough and don't let go.
It wasn't that Shade couldn't get away, it was just that her hands felt small.
"Although I have always known that Carina is very bold, I didn't expect that she would even dare to do such a thing. Or, maybe you can try to convince me that you and her are just ordinary friends, and she volunteered to help you keep the secret
.”
The two of them were very close, and Shade looked at the delicate face in front of him:
"I will not refuse to admit my feelings for Carina just to protect myself. Yes, I am Carina's lover."
[This is also a lie. You have reversed the relationship between the characters. 】
She then let go of Sha De's wrist and took a few steps back. The right hand that had just grabbed Sha De's wrist was put behind her back, and then she nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right. The person Carina can like should have such a sense of responsibility. Now that I know who you are, it shouldn't be a problem for me to see what you look like? Mr. Hamilton, take off your disguise.
.”
The gray-black-haired witch guessed his relationship with Carina, but she didn't seem to guess his relationship with other witches. Shade still didn't know what she was thinking, so he wiped his face again
, and the witch took a deep breath and subconsciously took a step back:
"Move one step to the left."
"What?"
"One step to the left."
Shade walked to the left, and Flora Winslet sighed again:
"Perfect composition, that Carina guy"
"So, ma'am, what exactly are you trying to say?"
The witch looked away from his face:
"Oh, let's get back to business. Obviously, you haven't told your teacher, Miss Danist, about you and the witch; obviously, Carina has also concealed the fact that you, a man who is extremely special to the witch,
news.
So, you don’t want to reveal Carina’s identity, nor do you want your own identity to be leaked to the parliament, right?”
she asked with a smile.
"Are you threatening the person who saved you?"
Shade asked back, and the artist lady immediately shook her head:
"I am a decent person. You saved me and I will not threaten you. Although the outside world has various misunderstandings about us [Witch Council], everyone is actually a good girl."
Holding her waist with her right hand, she extended an invitation to Shade:
"I want you to help. Of course, regardless of whether you agree to help me or not, I will help you keep the secret and pretend not to know about your underground relationship with Carina."
Everyone in the city has known about this underground love affair for a long time.
Shade really thought she wanted to threaten him just now, but when he saw her saying this now, he felt that he had underestimated the girl in front of him:
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"I hope you can help me find a way to lift the [Time Curse]. Don't rush to speak. I know you would do this, but I'm worried that the method you find is only enough for one person. When the time comes, you guess you will help
Am I still the teacher who helps you?”
Everyone knows the answer so there is no need to say it.
"In addition, I came to Ximu Town alone for my own reasons. I was originally worried that it would not be enough for me alone. Now that I have you and the 'Red Moon Witch', I think my affairs should be able to be handled smoothly."
It’s over. I want to invite you to help. Of course, I won’t let you do it in vain, I will pay you.”
"I'm sure, if I don't agree, you will tell the council about me, right?"
Shade asked, and the gray-black-haired Miss Winslet blinked, still feeling the warmth remaining on her right hand. What she just held Shade's wrist to feel was not just his gender:
"Absolutely not. I said, I'm not that kind of person.
And I don’t want to be chased and beaten by Carina, who is already at the twelfth level, in Kasenrik, let alone Miss Denist, I see she really likes you as a student.”
Shade pretended not to understand the teasing in her words:
"Besides the time curse, what else is there?"
"I'm looking for my uncle. He also disappeared here more than ten years ago. I just found out the news some time ago. His last appearance was in Ximu Town.
I won't hide it from you. Now my grandfather is seriously ill and the Winslet family is about to choose a new family heir. I don't want to fight for this, but I don't want my father to inherit my grandfather's business. Yes, I have some conflicts with him.
Find my uncle, he will support my aunt to inherit the family. I promise that you will also gain the friendship of the Winslet family. I know that as Carina's lover, you may not care about this, so what I give is
Do you know about the other rewards, Rhodes?"
Shade looked at her, and the gray-haired witch said to herself:
"You are the champion of Ayutthaya Players 1853 and a legendary Rhodes card player who is now hot. How come you don't know about Rhodes cards?"
"You want to ask me for help with playing cards? [Origin·Time]?"
The witch who had been smiling finally stopped laughing:
"If I can play cards like this, I can get people who even my grandfather would not dare to offend to support my aunt as long as I deal with the nobles in Willendale.
It is not a founding series, but it is also an early series, [Legend of Race·Elves]. This series of cards has never been reprinted. There are a total of thirteen special cards, including thirteen well-known characters such as humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons.
Race. How about it, are you interested?"
PS: I deliberately didn’t say ‘eleventh level witch’ in front of Miss Danister.
