Chapter 2393: Dance Party and Interrogation

At the banquet that night, almost all the guests appeared exceptionally happy, even excited.

Miss Belindell summarized afterwards that most people in this city had already seen the signs of the upcoming big event, and before such an "imminent disaster" that could not be avoided and could not be hidden, everyone was looking for the last bit of fun.

The purpose of Margaret holding this banquet was to promote the royal disaster relief policy and further strengthen the influence of the royal family. From the purpose, she did it quite successfully. Not only did the public fundraising session before the dance party receive financial support far exceeding the original plan, but local nobles also privately expressed their willingness to bypass the Seven Great Families and talk about some things with the royal family separately.

"They are worried that after Moon Bay is destroyed, they will have nowhere to go, so they are building a good relationship with us in advance."

When dancing with Xia De, Margaret, who was in an exceptionally good mood, said to Xia De with a smile:

"Although it is a bit wrong to say so, the big event in Moon Bay has instead had a positive effect on the Anjou family."

"You have basically achieved the purpose of your visit this time, you did a great job, Margaret."

Xia De also praised, which made the Princess's mood even better:

"My eldest brother Samuel is dealing with the reorganization of the Kingdom Army, but I heard a few days ago that my second brother William also wants to come to Moon Bay, saying he wants to assist me."

A look of disgust and hatred appeared on her face:

"Everyone can see clearly what he wants to do. My people secretly reported to me, and my father privately reprimanded him and said some unpleasant things."

After speaking, she laughed again:

"Although after I leave Moon Bay and end my visit, MI6 and the Grey Gloves will definitely continue to fight openly and secretly here, at least my mission is completed."

She looked up at Xia De slightly:

"But after leaving this time, I don't know when we will meet again."

"At least you are not returning to Willondale tomorrow."

Xia De said, and Margaret nodded. When she was spinning with Xia De in her arms, she bit her lip:

"I finally know why the Princess of the North likes watching operas so much... If there is time after this matter is over, would you be willing to accompany me to watch an opera again?"

Xia De blinked:

"Of course."

Margaret suppressed the urge to kiss him:

"Then, I have to prepare a few more dresses in advance."

The banquet lasted until late at night before it ended. Xia De did not go home immediately, but returned to the ship and the manor first to visit Dorothy and Leisia one after another.

Just when he was talking to Dorothy and Luvia who were preparing to rest in their pajamas on the ship—they lived in the room next to the first-class cabin, the sudden violent shaking of the ship made Dorothy fall directly into Xia De's arms.

Luvia just grabbed Xia De's shoulder:

"What's wrong?"

But it was not an enemy attack. When he found Miss Eleise in the captain's cabin, the girl who was also wearing pajamas explained:

"Earthquake, a very strong earthquake. Don't worry, at least it hasn't caused a tsunami."

Xia De wanted to ask for further details, but his eyes unconsciously saw her chest, and then his face turned red and he turned around immediately:

"That's good, I'll go to the manor to see the situation."

After Xia De walked away, Luvia crossed her arms and asked the girl on the ship:

"Are you deliberately not wearing a bra?"

Dorothy also looked at Miss Eleise, and then immediately crossed her arms.

The blue-eyed girl said somewhat proudly:

"This is my home, and there are no men on the ship except Xia De, not even a male mouse. I came out of the room in a hurry just now, maybe I forgot to wear it."

Belindell Manor was also not too affected by the earthquake. Although this manor was ancient, after generations of reconstruction and the reinforcement of witches, theoretically, the nearby houses would collapse before it would be destroyed.

And when Xia De returned home on this Friday night, only Galina and a group of maids were left in the house.

Although it was late at night, the Duchess was still reading a book on the sofa waiting for Xia De to return.

When Xia De entered the door, she hugged him with a smile:

"Welcome back, you've worked hard."

She wouldn't say such things when Dorothy or Leisia were there:

"I'm leaving for Moon Bay tomorrow night, and my luggage has already been packed. Don't bother to pick me up, Bella and the others will be responsible for meeting me."

"The situation in Moon Bay is very bad now, forget it, don't talk about such things at night."

"Go take a bath, the perfume on you is really complicated."

The red-haired witch said with feigned disgust, and when Xia De came to the bedroom in his pajamas, the lady who was like a white jade sculpture artwork was already lying on the bed waiting for him.

Time came to Saturday. Because he had already agreed with the Doctor that the group meeting would be suspended this week, Xia De didn't have to think about coming back in the afternoon.

He ate breakfast and went for a walk with the cat as usual to prevent people from discovering that "Hamilton Detective hasn't left the house for several days since Galina Duke stayed over."

And after returning home, he unexpectedly found a package that had just been delivered on the steps in front of the door:

"Hmm? Who would send me something? Didn't Miss Gao De send a letter at the beginning of the month?"

Looking at the sender, it was actually Captain Raders.

"No, it's Major."

Xia De reminded himself.

At the end of the Gothe Lake negotiations, Captain Raders was promoted to Major because of some unspeakable merits and is currently serving in the Tobesk Navy. The package he sent was a local specialty for Xia De, which could be considered maintaining the relationship between the two.

Things sent from such a distant seaside would definitely not be seafood or fish, but local travel souvenirs, a large jar of honey that is easy to store, and a model of a sailing ship in a glass bottle.

Along with the package came a very long letter. Major Raders told about his new life in a strange environment and expressed his gratitude to Xia De again.

However, Xia De didn't have time to write a reply to him immediately. After all, today is the last day before the "God's Descent Suspect Day," and there are still many things he needs to do.

The meeting time agreed with Mr. Albert was 9:30 in the morning, but to prevent being late, Xia De took the toy-shaped cat and went directly to Spider Alley.

When he arrived at the morgue in Spider Alley, it was still early, but Mr. Bernhardt was also there. Xia De suspected that he hadn't left at all last night. And when Xia De saw them, the two were working together to tie a resurrected undead to the dissecting table.

There were no other coroners in the morgue besides Mr. Albert, so Xia De joked:

"Are you conducting undead experiments?"

"Stop joking, Mr. Watson, this thing resurrected for no reason, even though there was no invasion from the fog outside."

Mr. Bernhardt complained, and Xia De pressed the badge on his chest, praised the Angel of Death in his heart, and put his hand on the corpse whose cause of death could not be seen:

"Rest in peace."

The corpse that was shaking violently finally "died" again. Mr. Albert breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's not difficult to kill this undead, but I can't explain it to the deceased's family."

"How did he die?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the coroner shook his head:

"Ate wild mushrooms indiscriminately, poisoned and went crazy, and fell to his death."

They didn't take Xia De to see the two blood-sucking species caught last night, but directly told Xia De the conclusion obtained after interrogation:

"Carmen Eddington becoming a blood-sucking species was induced by Thomas Pidgeon. Carmen Eddington is a musician. Sometimes when he can't find inspiration, he will... do some illegal things to find stimulation for himself. He also met Thomas Pidgeon during that period."

Mr. Bernhardt added:

"The cooperation between the two was very happy. Although Carmen Eddington didn't have the talent of a Ringed Shushi, the racial talent of a blood-sucking species was enough to satisfy him. In return, he was responsible for helping Thomas Pidgeon smooth out the inspections of the port customs and port authority, allowing Pidgeon's business to expand at least five times."

"Are those blood-sucking dragon descendants also related to them?"

Xia De asked, and Mr. Albert nodded:

"Local blood-sucking species always have unsatisfactory lives. The two of them introduced these fellow clansmen who wanted to develop in the New World to contact the 【Dragon Feast Cult】, and then secretly arranged for them to go to the New World. This caused the outflow of our bloodline, and the rewards they got besides money were high-purity dragon blood regularly."

"For those fellow clansmen who cannot control their blood-sucking desires, this is second only to the blood of pure girls."

Mr. Bernhardt introduced, but didn't say it very deeply:

"In this way, organize these evidences. If we local blood-sucking species can perform well in the subsequent Battle of Moon Bay, we can find a way to throw the evidence to the Church after the decisive battle, and the local fellow clansmen will not continue to be hostile."

"I have friends in the Church, I can help you say something in advance, just say that local blood-sucking species will also help."

Xia De said, and Mr. Bernhardt breathed a sigh of relief:

"That would be great. Speaking of which, Marquis Mosen and Miss Rice also came last night. They helped with the interrogation, making the efficiency much faster. Oh, we encountered an attack by those evil cultists after you left last night, but it was not a big problem."

Seeing him say this, Xia De didn't ask much:

"Regarding the 【Dragon Feast Cult】, what else do those two know?"

"The altar will descend directly in the city, so the two of them ran so far outside the city."

Mr. Albert said in a deep voice:

"And judging from the situation they understand, the spatial special nature of that altar is extremely powerful. It can disappear out of thin air, and can also directly 'squeeze' into a certain area, but it does not cause damage to other scenes in that area."

The current guess is that the altar will either appear directly in the city center or appear in the form of floating in the air. ===== CHAPTER 2394 =====

The current speculation is that the sacrificial site will either appear directly in the city center or manifest in a form floating in the air."
