Chapter 1012: Demon and Chosen One

Princess Lei Lei Qianya's banquet that night was held at the Canary Manor where she was staying. That manor belonged to the Cavendish royal family and was specifically used to entertain foreign guests. Its location was in the north of the South City of Tobesk, near the University District, about a twenty-minute drive from St. Deran Square.

Xia De didn't understand why the vice president of the Truth Society appeared at the Third National Mechanical Academy this morning. To prevent her from appearing again at the banquet at night, he took advantage of the time in the afternoon to find Yin Yi Yi Lu Na at the Black Stone Security Company and told her about Miss Miss Pawo's appearance.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na then told the Church about this, so there were some Ringed Ringed Shushi from the Church at the banquet held at the Canary Manor that night.

And when Xia De entered the Canary Manor at 6:30 PM, the heat of the badge on his chest reminded him that there was definitely more than one Ring Mage appearing here tonight.

Miss Jia Lin Na was actually also at the Canary Manor, but it was unlikely that she would appear in the banquet.

Although it was in the city, the Canary Manor covered a large area. Xia De had already come here to "learn a foreign language" several times, so he was quite familiar with the interior of the manor.

Tonight's banquet was held in the banquet hall on the first floor. Although only those who were in the lecture hall this morning were invited, there were quite a few people who attended the banquet for various reasons in the end. People seemed to regard this as a diplomatic banquet.

Although the bomb attack was still mentioned by people, people were more concerned about what kind of punishment the Lamia Principality would receive afterward. Such a vicious incident rarely occurred in peacetime, and even when Queen Diana was shot on the street in the summer, there was no such big reaction as this incident.

Princess Lei Lei Qianya appeared at the beginning of the banquet, and then didn't know where she went, leaving Viscount Herbos of the visiting delegation responsible for receiving the guests.

Xia De didn't see Miss Miss Pawo appear again at the banquet. He wanted to find time to go upstairs to see Miss Jia Lin Na and ask if the Council remembered the past of Miss Schultz Theresa, but he was holding a wine glass and had just walked two steps toward the stairs when he saw Princess Lei Lei Qianya's personal maid walk over.

"Mr. Hamilton, did you see the person who dropped the note?"

In the study on the second floor, just after meeting, Princess Lei Lei Qianya asked somewhat urgently. She really needed the surrender of that Gray Hawk, but since she met him in Midehillburg in the autumn, Gray Hawk had never contacted her again, and even didn't go to take the 1000 pounds of reward.

At this time, the mysterious ace agent appeared again, and Princess Lei Lei Qianya knew that this was another opportunity.

"Oh, Your Highness, why do people always like to ask me this question?"

Xia De shook his head:

"At noon at the Ridewich Field, I almost didn't even eat lunch. If it weren't for Miss Jia Lin Na sending someone to take me out, I probably wouldn't have been able to attend tonight's banquet. So, what is going on? I found that compared to the bomb, people are more concerned about that note."

"I'm really sorry, Detective, really sorry for involving you in this matter... I can't tell you the truth of the matter, I can't involve you in this kind of troublesome political whirlpool."

The Princess pressed her forehead with her palm in a very unladylike way:

"This matter is related to the Gray Gloves and the Military Intelligence Section 6, Mr. Hamilton. You should have heard of these two organizations. So, sorry, I can't say too much, I can only tell you that the person who dropped the note is an extraordinary figure."

Xia De nodded quite approvingly. He had always believed that Mr. Sparrow Hamilton was quite extraordinary, and there was no need to doubt this point.

"Sorry again for involving you, oh, I also want to thank you, thank you for discovering that note."

"It's nothing, I involved you in the demon matter, didn't you also not accept my apology?"

Xia De said, glancing at this study:

"That demon of the Third Era will not threaten us for too long. Please rest assured, this matter will be resolved soon. However, before that, I will still visit once every day."

"No problem, we are friends. From now on, you can call me by my name directly."

The Princess nodded and sent Xia De to the door of the study. After Xia De left, she patted her cheeks. She thought of Xia De who had just left, and sighed in her heart. She now understood why he could win the favor of that beautiful Duchess:

"Handsome, powerful, steady in doing things, no bad habits... If I didn't want to be a student of the teacher, I would probably also like this kind of person."

Xia De on the other side returned to the first floor from the second floor. At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. He took another wine glass, and then looked up among a group of guests, seeing Doctor Shi Nai De who absolutely shouldn't appear here.

"Hmm..."

This usually meant the occurrence of strange things.

The Doctor was also wearing formal wear to attend the banquet, holding a wine glass and standing by the window of the banquet hall, looking at the people in the banquet with a very melancholy look. The senses of a six-ring Ring Mage were very keen. When Xia De noticed him, the Doctor also quickly saw Xia De.

At that moment, the expression on the Doctor's face was probably about the same as Xia De's.

The two quickly met at the window, both holding a glass wine glass. Xia De tilted his head and asked the Doctor:

"Doctor, you don't want to say that the demon is at this banquet, right?"

The Doctor tightened his face to control his expression:

"Yes, aren't you here for this?"

He asked with some surprise in his tone, while Xia De was even more surprised:

"You found it, why did you come alone instead of notifying me?"

"I didn't find it, I just suspected it was here."

The Doctor lowered his voice a little, holding the wine glass and taking a small sip:

"Do you know why I haven't found it until now? It was injured more seriously than I thought and couldn't exist independently, so it hid in a human body to act. On Thursday, I found it once and made it seriously injured again, but it very cautiously changed into a shell immediately."

The demon of the Third Era had the ability to coexist with humans. This point, whether it was the demon in the demon scholar's story, or the "Arsonist" who possessed the Fire Demon, or the "Pus of Man," all showed it. This could be considered a kind of "racial talent."

"I definitely can't catch it tonight. It is very good at running away. I want to make a mark on it tonight, so that next time it will definitely not be able to run away."

The Doctor drank the champagne in one gulp:

"The only trouble now is, I don't know who it hid in, so I'm still looking."

When he was talking to Xia De, his eyes were always watching the banquet hall.

A demon in a possessed state, even Xia De could not easily find it. When he first met Ivan Darkness in Lengshuigang, before he took off his red gloves and revealed the "Demon's Mouth" in his palm, Xia De didn't notice his abnormality.

Although Xia De could also detect who was a demon by carrying his badge and walking around, this would also let the other party discover that he had been discovered, and Doctor Shi Nai De didn't have time to make a mark.

So looking for the demon could only be done by the Doctor, and Xia De could only wait for the Doctor's good news.

So for the rest of the banquet, Xia De had been with Doctor Shi Nai De. The Doctor received the invitation from his patient, and there were no acquaintances at the banquet, so he acted together with Xia De, listening to Xia De talking to people about Luo De cards, talking about the interesting things of the nobles, and talking about the follow-up of the incident this morning.

By about nine o'clock in the evening, Xia De had already been at the Luo De card table, and after winning three games in a row, the Doctor coughed lightly.

He knew that the Doctor had found the target, so he said goodbye to the Viscount who was playing cards with him and got up to head toward the washroom.

"Found it."

The Doctor was concise:

"Not a guest at the banquet, the other party possessed a male servant of the manor. Follow me, you restrict him for at least twenty seconds in a while, and I can make a mark on it that will not disappear for at least a year."

Originally, this matter was to be done by the Doctor himself, but now that Xia De was here, it was naturally better to have someone help. And if the mark was made, the Doctor was confident that he would end this matter before next Tuesday.

As the residence where Princess Lei Lei Qianya was staying, guests attending the banquet were theoretically not allowed to enter other areas of the manor at will. But for Xia De and the Doctor, ordinary guards couldn't stop them, they just needed to avoid the Ringed Ringed Shushi of the Church.

Xia De followed behind the Doctor, walked to the left along the corridor on the first floor, passed through the corridor and climbed out of the window to enter the area on the right side of the manor. After passing through the evergreen shrubs in winter, he entered the stone path and went around to the garden at the back of the manor.

Now it was winter, even if the royal family paid for maintenance, the scenery of the garden was far from comparable to midsummer. Beside the snow pile under the grape trellis, the male servant watched by the Doctor was actually talking to another person, and the gentleman opposite the male servant possessed by the demon was quite familiar to Xia De and the Doctor. It was actually Viscount Pu Lin Xia.

"Power? No, no, power is not so easy to obtain."

When Xia De and the Doctor lurked over carefully, the conversation between the two had already started for a while. Although there was a silence charm on the ground, the Doctor just poked with his finger, and the sound was transmitted. The silence charm was a basic charm, the effect was good, but Ringed Ringed Shushi naturally had ways to deal with it as long as they discovered the charm.

The one talking was Viscount Pu Lin Xia. The Doctor signaled Xia De to keep quiet, and he prepared to cast a spell. Xia De pricked up his ears to listen to the private conversation between the two under the grape trellis, illuminated by the moonlight.

"Pursuing power is certainly not wrong, but it depends on this."

The Viscount pointed to his head sternly:

"Instead of relying on this thing you don't know what it is."

The male servant looked about thirty years old, dressed very neatly, but the smile he deliberately put on his face was definitely not something a normal person could express:

"Do you know what kind of great power you have?"

It asked, and Xia De and the Doctor immediately frowned, because this was actually the Demon language. ===== CHAPTER 1013 =====
