Chapter 2143: Dancing

Bella Berindell, who was aggressive once she identified her target, had a... initiative different from other witches Xia De had contacted. He didn't know why it was just dancing, but now it became this intimate appearance.

The cinnabar-red birthmark on the witch's brow, combined with that amethyst forehead ornament, gave her a different style from the past with every smile. She didn't even need to perform divination or read Xia De's mind; just looking at his slightly red ears at this moment, she knew what he was thinking.

"Rest assured, I won't underestimate them."

The witch continued to say softly, seeing from the corner of her eye that the church people also came here, but the church's ring sorcerer made eye contact with her and just nodded before turning his head away. Looking at it this way, the church would never suspect that she was a witch of the Witch Council again in a short time.

"Although it was confirmed that in this era, I am the only ring sorcerer in the seven major families, I will not underestimate the strength of other families because of this. Just like I believe I won't lose because of my identity, others will make the same judgment because of their own hole cards. I believe in fate, so I don't think I can win just by relying on strength."

She was definitely deliberately exhaling lightly, making Xia De's ears turn redder.

"I hope such limited cooperation can bring new clues."

"Definitely will."

She laughed in Xia De's ear, and this laughter was completely different from the "she" who usually laughed in Xia De's ear.

"You don't have to look at how they were all shirking just now, but in fact, no one knows if this is also a performance. Everyone has their own thoughts, but Moon Bay now is us, Eddington, and Hawthorn fighting, Wright, Silver, Black, and Wood have finally declined. I bet that someone will contact me privately after this banquet, but I don't know which family it is."

After all, Berindell is the most active in facing the prophecy challenge on the surface.

Xia De nodded, knowing that this countess was definitely not an innocent girl who didn't understand anything. With a sister and a brother who was already an adult alive, she could inherit the title, and Xia De had never heard anyone question the rationality of this, which was enough to explain her means.

"It's really a busy time..."

Xia De sighed softly, hugged the countess's waist and turned around in place, the latter said with a smile:

"I have already had results for the divination of the 【Order of Light Seekers】, but it still needs some time to confirm, I haven't forgotten the revenge."

Her left hand reached down and caught Xia De's hand, pressing it on her right shoulder:

"But there is news about the blood-sucking monster. However, you also know that divination is not omniscient. I have sent the girls under my command to investigate according to the news I received. The result now is that the thing likes the blood of drunk virgins under 25."

Xia De nodded lightly:

"I have things to do on Friday and Saturday nights, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, so let's do it on Sunday night... Speaking of which, it happens to be a week since the incident at the docks."

Her hair brushed Xia De's cheek, and her voice was even lower:

"Then, when will you tell me who you are? Mr. John Watson."

Side face against side face, the rosy lips were about half a centimeter away from Xia De's face. It seemed like ear-to-ear rubbing, but in fact, there was no contact at all.

"Wait until the two ladies from the capital come to Moon Bay."

He said, since Miss Galina might not come this time, and Miss Aurora and Sister Daelin didn't know when they would return from the New World, there were only Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia left.

"Or if you are really curious, you can ask the questions you want to know now."

Hearing this, she seemed to laugh, pulled the face that was almost stuck to Xia De away, and returned to the normal dancing action. Golden eyes looked at him, and also reflected him:

"I only want you to answer one question, although I have asked this question before: Are you really a man?"

"Of course, this is beyond doubt."

"Then I am relieved."

The witch whispered, letting Xia De hug her waist and slowly sway with the dance music:

"When you see Vanessa and Sylvia, you tell me who you are... I bet their relationship with you is also not normal."

Because it was not a question, Xia De didn't have to answer:

"I am actually a... very dissolute person."

He used the words that the girls often used to tease him in bed, and there was no need to hide it until now:

"There is more than one girl who is familiar with me, probably like this."

But the witch dancing with him had a different opinion:

"But how do I feel that you are like an ascetic? I have never seen anyone like you, you know, I am naturally beautiful, so I am the first beauty in Moon Bay, so I am very sensitive to people's eyes. But every time you go to me, let alone secretly looking at my maid, you haven't even looked at me actively a few times."

Beautiful golden eyes were still looking at Xia De:

"So I asked for the last time just now, whether you are a man or not."

This sentence had a resentful meaning again, so Xia De changed his words:

"I am not dissolute, I am greedy."

"I agree with this point, how can a person who is not greedy covet multiple witches?"

She "hummed" again, but was not afraid of being pointed out by Miss Bernice. She considered herself younger and more powerful than that female opera singer who was famous in the Old Continent ten years earlier. Although the level was one level lower than that female opera singer, she... is young. By the time she met Vanessa Bernice after a while, she also believed that she could not fall behind with exquisite rhetoric and decent attitude.

Witches all know that if you fancy something, you must take the initiative to get it, otherwise you won't even be able to eat a single snack at the afternoon tea party:

"If only I met you first."

She said again, Xia De had heard this sentence more than once, and it came from the mouths of different witches. He then thought of Luweiya's face and was very worried about the scene after Luweiya and Miss Berindell met. Of course, it was mainly worried about the latter.

Although since becoming a witch apprentice until now sitting firmly in the seat of "Fate," Bella Berindell had never danced with a man, her dancing skills were really good, at least better than Xia De, who "learned art" from Lei Qianya and Dorothy and only occasionally attended banquets.

She didn't feel tired, accompanied by the dance music, while being hugged by Xia De, while talking about the interesting things she learned to dance with her family tutor when she was a child. Even in the gap when the dance music stopped, when she was pulled by Xia De to rest for a while, she still held Xia De's hand, making the nobles of Moon Bay suspect whether Berindell would hold a wedding this year:

"But where did that Northern man come from?"

As long as it doesn't involve the supernatural, the church won't care about the private affairs of the nobles. This is also the bottom line for the balance between the two worlds, so Xia De doesn't worry about this "cousin" of his being investigated. And sitting on the sofa to rest, when Miss Matilda brought wine glasses for them, the witch who looked very excited tonight even asked in Xia De's ear:

"Guess what color the stockings under my skirt are tonight?"

After asking, she turned her head away because of shyness, and her slightly red cheeks were even more attractive than usual.

【Black.】

"She" smiled and gave the answer, but Xia De couldn't give this answer.

The most important nobles in Moon Bay City came to attend this banquet, so the church also sent people here to prevent accidents for the sake of safety. But tonight, whether it was the 【Order of Light Seekers】 or the 【Dragon Feast Cult】, it seemed that they didn't intend to appear and do something, at least Xia De thought so at 8:30 in the evening.

Attending a banquet means facing social engagements, which is unavoidable. But the local nobles were all acquaintances, people came close to chat with the countess for a few words, and then very sensibly wouldn't disturb the date between Countess Berindell and that "cousin." But the guests from Willendale, even the countess had to take some time to receive them.

It was a middle-aged man who walked over with Earl Hawthorn, holding a wine glass, and looked about forty years old. His appearance was ordinary, and his right eye seemed to have been injured, so his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white cocoon. And when Earl Hawthorn introduced the other party's identity, Xia De beside the countess couldn't help but look over:

"Earl Berindell, this is Mr. Richard from the capital, who took over from Mr. June who returned to the capital to report on his duties, and is temporarily managing the local Gray Glove system."

Although Gray Glove is a secret agent organization, they have bright office institutions in every important city in Karsenrik. Of course, you definitely can't find those real secret agents in them, but the heads of these institutions are equally important.

"Good evening, Earl, you are indeed as beautiful as the rumors."

Mr. Richard must have heard of the reputation of Countess Berindell, so he didn't reach out to shake hands, just smiled and nodded.

The countess also said politely:

"Welcome to Moon Bay, Mr. Richard. Are the Gray Gloves organizing any big actions? The last time the person in charge of Moon Bay was changed was five years ago. If needed, the Berindell family will definitely not be stingy with help."

Earl Hawthorn also said with a smile on the side:

"Earl Berindell is really straightforward. Just now I was holding back my curiosity and didn't ask. But since you said so, then our Hawthorn family can also provide help for the Gray Gloves' activities in the local area. Speaking of which, since my great-grandfather, we have donated money to various institutions in the kingdom every year."

Even Xia De could hear that they were joining forces to test the words, and this kind of rhetoric was not very clever. But the not-so-clever rhetoric itself was to let Mr. Richard, who was holding a wine glass, hear it, which could also clearly indicate that the nobles of Moon Bay were really quite unfriendly to the guests from Willendale. ===== CHAPTER 2144 =====
