375. Gifts
This world never lacks evil monsters, it just lacks the eyes to see people as monsters.
Jimmy felt like he was the monster's gravedigger at this moment.
Putting aside his personal grudges and his own cowardice, he only cares about one thing now, and that is whether Ha La is a monster.
No, it doesn't matter whether she is a monster or not.
He is more concerned about whether Hola is a "shapeshifter".
No matter how well a monster hides itself and how superb its disguise skills are, the monster hiding among the crowd is essentially
Like a lion hiding among rabbits.
Even if a lion can wear rabbit skin and make the same sound as a rabbit, there are some things it can never disguise. For example, a lion is much larger than a rabbit.
No matter how the monster pretends to be a human being, it cannot completely fit its body and limbs into the human skin.
Even if Hal pretends to be the best, there will still be flaws. For example, some shapeshifters don't need to convert food into excrement, some monsters don't need so much oxygen, some shapeshifters don't need to eat, and some shapeshifters' skin feels different.
Humans are different.
Moreover, shapeshifters are often reluctant to talk about the past, especially those who appear to be young, because they do not have that many past events to mention, and secondly, they do not have any relatives.
According to the situation confirmed by Marlene, if Hevin and Holla are adoptive parents, then it can be determined that Holla is most likely a shape-shifter.
Of course, another point of view of Marlene is that Hala's father may also be a shape-shifter, and this shape-shifter specially adopted a daughter in order to integrate into human society. After all, if a person has become a father, so what?
Maybe it's a monster?
There are many ways recorded in the notes that Marlene gave him.
But to Jimmy, none of these methods matter.
He just needs to make up a reason.
Because he saw things with his own eyes that Marlene could not recognize.
Both Viper and Silverhand fell into the monster's trap.
The fact that Bane never appeared again hints at the unspeakable and terrifying truth.
Jimmy also made a special trip to Bain's house to ask his mother if she had seen him.
But the lady gave a negative answer, and eagerly asked Jimmy if there was any news about Bain.
Jimmy made a decision.
There is no doubt that Bane has been killed.
If he too fell into the monster's clutches, Jimmy didn't know if he would be the next victim.
What if Hal knew that he and Bain were plotting the plan together? How much time would he have to deal with this monster?
Jimmy didn't know the answer, but he knew what to do.
He must nip the fatal danger in the cradle, otherwise he may even involve his own family, whether it is Nelly or his mother, he does not want to see them hurt.
Especially if you get hurt by yourself.
Jimmy did not keep an eye on Hala at all times as Marlene had asked. After all, he might have entered Hala's sight now. If he went out of his way to observe her behavior now, it would only arouse her alertness.
But that doesn't mean Jimmy can't do anything.
Hala's best friend should have been Antotica some time ago, but now it should be Peloris.
And he can start with Peloris.
Soon, Enid Pendragon, the daughter of the Chancellor, will hold a birthday party, and many people will be there, including George Pendragon, the leader of the Knights of the White Horse.
Many people care about George's status in the Knights, so they tend to ignore his other political status - a prince without real power.
Ciro, who is in Halla's class, will definitely attend, and those with titles below earl may receive invitations, but their children will most likely not attend.
Originally, Bain and he would attend Miss Enid's banquet together. Of course, they were just minor supporting roles in this banquet, insignificant people. The heirs of the Duke and some powerful members would take advantage of this opportunity.
Make friends with Enid.
Originally, Jimmy, as the heir to Marquis Taylor, might not be unable to come forward and have a chat with Enid, but he had just changed his identity from a country boy, and no one had any intention of letting him communicate with Enid.
Otherwise, if he is discourteous in front of Miss Enid, it will have an extremely bad and unnecessary political impact on the Taylor family.
But by the same token, in such a serious and important situation, it must be difficult for even an evil shapeshifter to act recklessly, right?
As far as he knew, Peloris also had an extremely wealthy background. In very ancient times, her family, the "Gu Rui", had already existed in Inlans, and they had always stood tall.
Although there is no overly prominent reputation or great achievements, the three ancient families, including their family, all play a decisive role in the entire England. Although they do not often appear in front of people, their status has not been affected by this.
Over questioning.
This year, Peloris often represents her family at various events, and like herself, she is definitely qualified to bring others to the banquet.
Peloris had never attended such a formal occasion with anyone else before, but he had heard that this time, Peloris invited Hala to go with him.
This matter is not a secret among classmates. When talking about this matter, many people expressed their envy for Ha La's "lucky".
Jimmy is from the country, so he doesn't have as many twists and turns as Bain.
He just wanted to leave two notes.
One of them is prepared for the main character of the party.
Enid will receive many gifts at her birthday party.
But not all gifts will be signed.
Because there were so many gifts, Enid would not be there to open them all and thank them one by one.
However, if someone wants their gift to be opened on the spot, they can also make a special note.
Under normal circumstances, this serves more political purposes, such as showing the public how harmonious the relationship between the two families is.
Moreover, it is impossible for anyone to give away worthless gifts in person. Children of nobles will not be unaware of the seriousness of this matter due to their education since birth, and their parents or people around them will also warn them many times.
them.
Of course, even if Enid did open a gift and found that it was just a stone, it would not affect everyone's mood, it would only make everyone feel contempt for the person who gave the gift.
And Jimmy will hide his own gifts among these precious gifts.
His gift was a message to Holla.
