917 Locking on
When the carriage stopped, the attendants in ck tuxedos, white gloves, and velvet hats standing outside the castle had already opened the door of the carriage politely.
Xia Pingan alighted from the car and reached out to hold Mrs. Caitlyn’s hand, allowing her to lift her skirt and get off the car. As soon as Mrs. Caitlyn got off the car, she naturally held onto Xia Pingan’s arm with one hand, and the two of them walked toward the castle Gate.
Noticing that many people were still gazing at the airship in the sky, Xia Pingan also turned around and took a look.
that’s thebery family’s airship, ” Mrs. Caitlin said softly to Xia Pingan as she nced at the sky. thebery family is the most powerful force on the Brad Penins. They control the Central ins and important coastal cities of the Brad Penins. They have the most troops. At the same time, I heard that thebery family also produces powerful Summoners. This is the family with the most hope of unifying the Brad Penins. They are not to be trifled with. This time, it should be an important figure from thebery family who hase to take a look.
“Oh, really?” Just as Xia Pingan was about to summon the Child of Fortune to check on the situation, the strange feeling of having a divine body disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xia Pingan didn’t know what was going on. He looked at the guests in formal attire who were walking toward the castle Gate and said, ” it seems that the Helena family is indeed very influential. Even the forces of the Brad Penins havee to congratte us!
of course. Helena’s father used to be a member of the redron cab, and he has a lot of influence in the capital. Helena’s brother is the current governor of the province of brandy. The movements of the province of brandy can also affect the situation on the Bode Penins, so it’s normal for theberet family to visit!
“I’m not interested in politics!” Xia Pingan smiled.
but none of us can get away from it, unless we live in istion or in the mountains. I remember a philosopher saying that from the moment people are born, they are marked with political marks.
“Maybe!” As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the castle. Xia Pingan took out two invitation cards and handed them over. Then, she stepped on the red carpet with Mrs. Caitlin and entered the castle.
At this moment, the sky had turned dark. The fireflies that had just been summoned by the summoner decorated the castle and danced in the air, making the entire Castle more brilliant. In the center of the square of the castle, the giant was holding an umbre like a sculpture. From time to time, illusionary petals fell from the sky. The band was ying melodious music. Those 30-cm tall flower spirits were flying here and there with sses in their hands. The entire castle was filled with a gorgeous and romantic atmosphere. The entire banquet extended from the main hall to the square outside the castle. It was too boisterous.
As they passed through the square outside and arrived at the entrance of the castle’s Hall, Xia Pingan saw a few familiar faces.
The police chief of nd city, Kevin, was with his wife, chatting with a few men in the crowd. Mrs. Lawrence showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest among thedies. Xia Tian could feel the shock that Mrs. Lawrence brought to the guests from the exmations around them.
After the treatment of the poison, Mrs. Lawrence looked young and beautiful, which surprised those who knew him. Director Kevin’s wife was also surrounded by a group of women. However,pared to Mrs. Lawrence, Kevin’s wife only had two or three women around her. It could be seen that the woman didn’t seem to be very popr.
Helena was one of the most eye-catching women in the hall. She was like the Queen of tonight’s cocktail party as she was surrounded by arge group of women. She was the center of attention in the circle of women. When all the women in various gorgeous dresses and splendid clothes gathered together, they gave off a feeling that they werepeting with each other for beauty.
From a distance, Xia Pingan could hear thedies ‘exmations.
my God, Helena! How did you guys be so much younger? what kind of magic spell is this? ”
yeah, when I saw Mrs. Lawrencest month, there were still some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But now, Mrs. Lawrence looks ten years younger.
“So is Mrs. Zooey. She’s suddenly full of youth.”
Needless to say, on this asion, those women who had experienced the detoxification ceremony immediately became the most eye-catching existences in the eyes of those women in the party. As for those women in the party, it was very stimting for them to see their acquaintances bing much younger and more beautiful after a few days. Of course, all the women would be jealous and curious about them.
Looking at Helena’s beautiful appearance in the crowd, Xia Pingan roughly understood the significance of this banquet to Helena. Helena wanted to use this banquet to capture all the richdies in the entire Brandi province. However, this was also a good thing for her. Looking at the women who were dressed in jewels and pearls, Xia Pingan felt as if he was looking at a walking world Pearl.
Just as Xia Pingan and Kathrin were looking around, ady in her 50s wearing a blue evening gown walked towards them. When she saw Kathrin, she was surprised.
“Caitlyn, I can’t believe it! How did you be so beautiful and young? is this magic? look at your face! Your skin is so white and smooth, and you look so much younger, just like Helena. Did I miss something?” The woman asked with an amazed look.
testie, it’s indeed a magic-like ritual. If you try it, you’ll also be younger! Caitlin nced at Xia Pingan and replied.
“Oh, there’s really a mysterious ceremony?”
that’s right. You can ask Helena about the details of the ritual! There must have been some sort of tacit understanding between Caitlin and Helena, which was why they didn’t directly introduce Xia Pingan to this woman named testie.
“Who is this handsome man?” It was only at this moment that testie turned her gaze to Xia Pingan. She looked at the two’s gowns with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
this is Xia Pingan, my malepanion tonight! Kathrin said generously.
“Hello, Madam!” Xia Pingan also greeted this potential customer of his.
if you don’t mind, Mr. Xia, I’d like to borrow Caitlin for a few minutes. Thedies over there have heard that Caitlin had been in danger and have been worried about her, ” said testie to Xia Pingan.
Testie led Caitlin to a small circle not far away. Xia Pingan took a ss of champagne from a waiter and walked to a corner of the hall by the window. He drank the champagne quietly and looked at the lively Hall calmly.
There were divine power fluctuations of Summonersing from all over the castle. In the hall, Xia Pingan saw many Summoners wearing mage robes who hade to attend the banquet. In just a short while, the Child of Fortune had already searched the inside and outside of the castle and the underground secret rooms-the castle’s Secret escape route, the Condra family’s Secret underground vault and Arsenal, and the pair of guards who were having an affair with the maidservant in the fodder warehouse behind the castle. Xia Pingan already knew everything.
Xia ping ‘an also saw Mr. Coin. Mr. Coin was wearing a ck suit and was chatting with a few middle-aged and elderly gentlemen in a small circle. At this moment, Mr. Coin’s face was exactly the same as when Xia ping’ an first met him.
Mr. Coin also saw Xia Pingan, but he only gave her a look from afar and pretended not to know her.
As soon as he finished the champagne in his hand, a fragrant scent wafted over. The flirtatious Helena had already arrived in front of Xia Pingan. She was still holding two sses of champagne in her hands. She handed Xia Pingan a new one and said, ” I’m sorry, thosedies and madams were too enthusiastic. After the reception, you might be very busy for a period of time!
Xia Pingan smiled, ” this is the first good news I’ve heard today!
“Other than the realm Pearl, do you really not care about anything else?” Helena nced at Xia Pingan and teased, ” all the socialites of the entire Brandi province have gathered here tonight. Is there no one you want to know? ”
to me, the cutest thing in the world is the realm Pearl. Unless they can give me a realm Pearl, I will not be interested in getting to know them!
I really don’t understand you men. I know that Caitlyn must have reserved your first dance, so I won’t fight with her. Remember that your second dance is mine!
Xia Pingan smiled. Just as he was about to say something, a figure suddenly walked over from the side and said to Helena, ” Hello, miss Helena. I didn’t expect to see you again, Yingluo.
The person walking over was a tall and handsome man with golden hair. He had a profound gaze and a mesmerizing smile on his face. The suit he was wearing was embellished with a belt of the Ceylon Empire’s noble suit. The way this man looked at Helena was fanatical and direct. He did not hide the desire to conquer her at all, as if he was treating Xia Pingan as invisible.
“Long time no see, Baron Maya!” Helena’s smile carried a sense of calmness and distance that only those who were familiar with her could sense. The man bowed slightly, as if he wanted to kiss her hand. However, Helena only raised her ss to him gently. Then, Helena looked directly at Xia Pingan, as if she did not see the anticipation on the man’s face. She introduced him to Xia Pingan, ” Baron Maya is the Deputy Consul of the Ceylon Empire’s conste in knthe. He is young and promising, and is also a powerful Summoner! Baron Maya, this is my personal consultant, Mr. Xia Pingan!”
Caitlin introduced the two of them to each other. At this moment, Baron Maya finally shifted his gaze to Xia Pingan. His eyes shifted as he asked condescendingly, ” Mr. Xia, are you a Summoner too? ”
“Yes, I am!” Xia Pingan smiled innocently and nodded. I just graduated from Fort Andreas!
oh, oh, oh. Baron Meyer looked at Xia Pingan again and gave a fake smile. There was already a trace of contempt in his eyes. How powerful could a rookie who had just graduated from the Andrea Castle be?
The man turned around and left after saying his goodbyes.
As Xia Pingan looked at this man, she already understood that the demon who had been hiding in the Ceylon Empire’s Cnd Embassy, the mastermind behind the horrifying waxwork museum, was this man.
Xia Pingan actually didn’t have any evidence. He didn’t know why this man wanted so many human organs, but his intuition had already told him and sent him a warning. It was this man, and there was no mistake.
The man’s back as he left coincided with the figure of the mage who had destroyed the small wooden house in Xia Pingan’s mind. Judging from his aura, this man was a level four Summoner. At his age, he had such an achievement, which was indeed something to be proud of. No wonder this man was so arrogant.
I didn’t expect the Vice-Consul of the Ceylon Empire’s Embassy in Cnd to be so young. Strange, I didn’t know about this before! Xia Pingan said to Helena with a smile.
it’s normal that you haven’t seen him. Baron Maya returned to the country a few days ago to report on his work, so he’s not in Knd. He just came back today, just in time for the reception! Helena exined.
No wonder!
Helena’s words once again confirmed Xia Pingan’s suspicion. The so-called report was actually just a way to return to his country to lie low. No wonder the summoner who had been monitoring the Ceylon Empire’s Grand Hall of influence in knthe had not noticed him. It turned out that the boy of fortune was not in knthe at all.
This was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in a long search, but finding it without any effort.
