Chapter 246

During the whole day of Thursday, Xia De, Miss Miss Beiyasi, and Miss Annette all stayed at No. 6 St. Deran Square, repeatedly analyzing their plans, and using the large space in the basement to practice Extraordinary Ability in coordination with each other.

Xia De gained a lot in this process, because this was equivalent to him being taught how to fight by two girls.

He also realized this, in the nearly one month since he came to this world, he seemed to have never had the opportunity to fight one-on-one with any strange Ringed Ringed Shushi. The few battles that occurred were either with reliable friends by his side, or using the characteristics of relics for targeted contact.

And in the process of breaking into the ruins tonight, in addition to the Silver-Eyed One and the danger of the ruins themselves, they will definitely come into contact with the Ringed Ringed Shushi of 【Mercury Blood】. By then, it is very likely that Xia De will experience the first battle in the true sense of a Ringed Ringed Shushi.

During the day, no one visited St. Deran Square, but Miss Miss Beiyasi had to return to the Black Stone Security Company and be on duty for two hours at noon. When she came back, she brought a bad news:

"Our team was also arranged for action tonight for the Orthodox Church's siege of the evil cultists of 【Blood Feast Lord】."

"What?"

Xia De and Miss Annette both stood up from their chairs. The protagonist of the action tonight is Miss Miss Beiyasi. If she is not present, the significance of this action will be gone.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, our team was not arranged to enter the banquet."

Miss Miss Beiyasi said, sitting on the sofa closest to the "snowing" area:

"We were arranged to be on the periphery to alert, confirming that when the church clears the evil cultists in the banquet, no one will break in. I have asked for leave, the captain said that this matter is very dangerous in the first place, and it is more in line with his idea not to participate."

Miss Annette immediately checked her notebook:

"That's no problem, it doesn't matter if we are missing, but you absolutely cannot be missing."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and continued to frown and ponder the context of the entire plan.

Little Mia squatted on the sofa on the side, using its little claws to pull the holy emblem that could use the "Sun Gun" once. No one paid attention to it. The orange cat gently fiddled with the holy emblem and sniffed its nose gently, as if it was smelling something.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two ladies left St. Deran Square first, and agreed to meet Xia De at the hotel near the printing house above the ruins entrance at seven o'clock.

Half an hour later, the sky was still very bright, and the carriage happened to stop downstairs at Xia De's house at this time. After preparing enough cat food for little Mia, Xia De met Miss Miss Difa Servet in the carriage.

"Everything goes according to plan, you don't have to do anything extra at the banquet, follow the plan, and then leave."

She handed the invitation to Xia De. The banquet was held at the mansion of Count Mo Posang in the city. Count Mo Posang was old and was recuperating in the family manor in the south, while his son became an evil cultist who believed in 【Blood Feast Lord】 a few years ago. Tonight's banquet, he was one of the hosts.

The banquet invited many famous people in the city, ostensibly a "charity banquet" held by little Mo Posang to raise funds for the renovation of Tobesk University District. But in fact, all the invited guests were sacrifices to the evil god. And Xia De's invitation was obtained by Miss Miss Jia Lin Na through special channels.

Because both evil cultists and Orthodox Churches had many people in the banquet, in order to prevent identity exposure, Xia De temporarily handed over all relics to the maid Miss Difa for safekeeping, just like when he went to the Yodel Palace, and Miss Miss Difa Servet gave Xia De a stack of banknotes to participate in the charity auction in a while.

"Is there anything that needs attention?"

Xia De asked while flipping through the invitation, and the carriage started slowly at this time. The rain last night hadn't stopped yet, but the rain had become very small, not affecting people's normal travel.

"Don't go to places outside the plan, especially don't go to the third floor. The third floor is basically evil cultists, including Mr. Lawrence, who is the flesh of the evil god, on the third floor. Anyone who enters or leaves the third floor will be watched by the church and evil cultists."

The maid said, and Xia De nodded, flipping through the invitation with a serious expression.

"There is nothing else that needs attention. Just follow the plan. Miss's carriage is parked in the alley outside the Mo Posang Manor. If necessary, she will come to save us. Remember, after the matter is over, I will send you out of the manor. During the banquet, you absolutely must not walk around."

"No problem."

Xia De nodded, but couldn't help but ask again:

"Will that thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi of the Church of the Sun, 'Sun Great Sword' Mr. Hog Lunde, also appear at the banquet?"

"Yes, he used a special method to change his appearance and attended the charity banquet as a representative of the church. But you won't meet him, please rest assured about this."

Xia De nodded again, and the maid said softly:

"Don't be too nervous either. I have followed the Miss since I was fifteen, and we have experienced more dangerous occasions. This kind of scene is actually not very dangerous."

"What could be more dangerous than attending a banquet preparing to sacrifice to an evil god?"

Xia De couldn't help but ask.

"Two unknowable-level (Level 0) relics lost control together. That time, the Parliament dispatched six great witches to forcibly suppress the accident. Even after that incident..."

She lowered her voice:

"A great witch died because of this."

"If there is time, tell me this story next time."

"Okay."

The maid said softly, and Xia De took a deep breath, turning to look at the rain outside the window:

"Tonight, it finally started."

This banquet with the theme of donation was actually a sacrificial ritual for evil cultists. And the theme of "donation" didn't seem to have anything to do with poor people like Xia De. But the nobles and rich people in Tobesk seemed to like this kind of banquet very much.

By the time the carriage stopped at the door of Count Mo Posang's mansion, many people who had rushed from other parts of the city had already arrived. And at the door of the mansion, someone was waiting for Xia De in advance.

Xia De got off the carriage with the maid Miss Miss Difa, and five women immediately greeted them, three of whom were dressed as middle-aged noble ladies, and the other two were young maids.

The five people respectfully saluted the maid beside Xia De. In the rank of the Witch Parliament, Miss Miss Difa Servet probably also belonged to the very upper level.

These were all members of the Witch Parliament who belonged to Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's jurisdiction. The five people were naturally all Ringed Ringed Shushi, and even without the voice in Xia De's heart to judge, the maid told Xia De about their information:

"One six-ring, one five-ring, one four-ring, two three-rings. Sorry, Detective, the Orthodox Church is watching very closely tonight, so I can't bring more people to protect you."

Actually, getting so many people is beyond Xia De's expectation. After all, he had always thought that the only helper beside Miss Miss Jia Lin Na was Miss Miss Difa Servet, because anything that the Duchess wanted to do was either done by the maid or by Xia De.

"I won't accompany you into the manor. These people protecting you won't get too close to you either. Try to behave naturally. The excuse for your visit today is to help the Miss buy a fountain pen at the charity auction."

That fountain pen was a fountain pen once used by the late well-known writer Mr. Vincent Roberts of the Kingdom of Delarion, and this Mr. Roberts, who died in 1850, had a status in the literary world of Delarion for the past thirty years that no one could shake.

"Try not to use the ability of the Ringed Ringed Shushi. The plan is very thorough, and there will be no problems."

The maid urged again. Xia De nodded, then merged into the crowd and walked into the courtyard of the manor.

Count Mo Posang's mansion couldn't be compared with the Lake View Manor and the one in the city outside the royal family, but the number of guests invited was no less than the previous two times.

During the banquet, the courtyard, the first floor and the second floor of the whole building were fully open. The courtyard and the first floor were a lively banquet, and there would be some elegant banquet games, while the rooms on the second floor were used for small auctions, and the proceeds were used for the renovation of Tobesk University District.

Every guest who came to attend the banquet could get a sequence table for the auction.

Xia De also knew at this time that attending this banquet required paying a "entry fee" of 10 pounds to the host of the banquet. These fees were nominally donated to the University District of Tobesk, but in fact, once the evil cultists succeeded, all the proceeds tonight would be divided by them and 【Mercury Blood】.

The auction items were contributed by Count Mo Posang and his friends, and there were even two Luo De cards with special rules among them. But the auction order of these two cards was very late, and Xia De would definitely have left here by then.

"This is my first time attending a charity banquet."

The outsider was very curious about this place.

The servants in the courtyard had already placed dishes on the long table, and the guests had gradually arrived. And entering the interior of the building, the men in formal suits and the women in ceremonial dresses didn't realize at all that there was a storm hidden under this banquet. But Xia De, whose "soul is very sensitive," only wandered around the lobby on the first floor a few times, and discovered at least 6 strange Ringed Ringed Shushi.

Xia De took a glass from the tray in the servant's hand beside him. The glass contained translucent yellow liquid, which looked a bit like pear juice.

The time hadn't come yet. He held the glass and stood on the first floor for a while, pretending to be. Calculating the time, he walked through the crowd with the wine glass and walked towards the second floor.

This kind of social banquet can be seen everywhere with guests gathered together to talk about things, and even many people standing on the stairs to talk about things. They will only go to the second floor to participate in the auction when they are interested in a certain auction item, and Xia De's performance now is to go to the auction.

The corridor on the second floor is paved with red carpet, and the large oil painting hanging opposite the stairs is Count Mo Posang himself.

There are people almost everywhere here, and the enthusiastic atmosphere is even more obvious than downstairs and in the courtyard.

Men in decent formal suits talked to each other about the auction items they were interested in, comparing their respective goals. Xia De was tense, but his expression was relaxed. When passing by the stairs with the wine glass, he even heard a fat man using an outdated obscene joke to compare the patterns on a pair of metal vases that had just been auctioned off.

The banquet atmosphere was incomparably lively, the gas lights were incomparably bright, and people's emotions were incomparably high. People who knew the truth were waiting for the time, and people who didn't know the truth were still enjoying, enjoying this quiet night.
