Chapter 2514: Succubus

【Didn't you say you wouldn't lie this time?】

"This refers to not hiding the relationship with them. I don't want to say that I knew she was a witch yesterday, which would make me seem insincere."

Xia De answered silently in his heart, and "she" just smiled.

"I am, Flora Winster."

The lady standing by the window introduced herself in very standard Karsenrik, looking at Xia De with great interest:

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton. Or should I say, Knight Hamilton of Lei Jiede?"

"Do you know me?"

Xia De frowned slightly, then looked at Miss Danister on the side, who shook her head:

"I didn't say who you are, she guessed who you are after hearing your name."

"Although you disguised your face, such a handsome appearance and unique temperament, plus the name 'Xia De' and the Derarion language you used when communicating, these characteristics combined together make it easy for me to reach a conclusion."

She raised her head slightly. Although the accents of Miss Sylvia and Margaret were the same as hers, this witch spoke with a kind of beauty like a gurgling spring:

"And because of my profession, I pay great attention to your northern literary circles. Very coincidentally, Detective, I am well-versed in the Derarion version of 'Hamilton Detective Story Collection', and I have also seen your photo silhouette in the newspaper."

"That's fine, good morning, Miss Winster. May I ask if I can regard your words above as 'thank you for saving me'?"

Xia De asked, Miss Danister almost laughed out loud, and the witch frowned slightly:

"It seems you really don't know me. Didn't Galina say anything?"

Seeing Xia De raise his eyebrows, she pointed to herself:

"Witch Council Eighth Seat, Great Witch of Death Flora Winster, eleventh-rank warlock (Note)."

As she spoke, she walked toward Xia De and reached out her hand. This action was quite strange, because Xia De was sitting now. Miss Danister didn't understand, but Xia De knew what her plan was.

It was just that Xia De didn't know what this Miss Winster wanted to say for a while, so he stood up and shook hands with her:

"Xia De Hamilton, eighth-rank, correspondence student of Saint Byron's."

The two hands held together. Xia De clearly saw the surprised expression on the witch's face in front of him at that moment, and then it quickly returned to the smile just now. Completely as expected, after the handshake ended, she suddenly grabbed Xia De's wrist again, and let go before Miss Danister could protest.

She looked down at the palm of her right hand:

"It seems it's not an illusion, there really is such a thing... and, why is your hand so hot..."

"Flora, what are you talking about?"

Miss Danister asked, but the witch kept the council's secret and didn't make it public, but raised her head again to carefully look at Xia De. Every witch had her own unique "witch's scent" perfume. The perfume she wore was a faint plum scent:

"I've seen the news, you and Galina Cavendish..."

Xia De glanced at Miss Danister:

"Miss Danister, can I talk to this lady alone?"

Although Miss Danister could probably guess that at least one of the ladies in the Cavendish family was a witch, Xia De didn't want to talk about this topic in front of her.

The eighteen-year-old red-haired witch pointed to the floor:

"This is my room, you wouldn't want me to go out, would you?"

So Xia De and Miss Winster went to her Room 321 temporarily. This room was larger than Miss Danister's room, and you could see the piano placed in front of the window as soon as you entered the door.

From the position of the window, you could directly see the "Golden Music Hall". When night fell and the Golden Music Hall lit up, playing the piano alone in the room was probably a very elegant thing.

But after the door closed, the first sentence spoken by the owner of the room was not elegant at all:

"Xia De Hamilton, you wouldn't want other witches to know about you and Galina, would you?"

She said it with a smile.

"Sorry, what do you mean?"

Xia De, who was looking at the piano, turned around and asked. The witch at the door picked up the glasses case from the cupboard and put on the gold-rimmed glasses, which added to the bookishness on her body.

The glasses were a relic:

"Everyone is a smart person. Since I know your identity, I don't believe that you and Galina are innocent. Galina should have known about your special nature as a 'man' last summer, right?"

She reread the word "man". Her face carried a relaxed smile. Her leather boots stepped on the carpet, and she walked toward Xia De and grabbed his wrist again. Xia De wanted to break free, but she held Xia De's hand firmly and wouldn't let go.

Xia De wasn't really unable to break free, but felt that her hand was small.

"Although I have always known that Galina is bold, I didn't expect that she would dare to do such a thing. Or, maybe you can try to convince me to believe that you and her are just ordinary friends, and she is willing to help you keep the secret."

The two were close, Xia De looked at the delicate face in front of him:

"I won't refuse to admit my relationship with Galina just to protect myself. Yes, I am Galina's lover."

【This is also a lie, you reversed the relationship.】

She let go of Xia De's wrist and took a few steps back. The right hand that had just grabbed Xia De's wrist was behind her back. Only then did she nod with satisfaction:

"That's right. The person Galina can take a fancy to should have such responsibility. Since I know who you are now, let me see what you look like. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Mr. Hamilton, remove your disguise."

This gray-black haired witch guessed his relationship with Galina, but didn't seem to guess his relationship with other witches. Xia De still didn't know what kind of idea she had, so he wiped his face again, and the witch took a deep breath and subconsciously took a step back:

"Move one step to the left."

"What?"

"One step to the left."

Xia De walked to the left, Flora Winster sighed again:

"Perfect composition, that guy Galina..."

"So, lady, what exactly do you want to say?"

The witch moved her gaze away from his face:

"Oh, let's talk about business. Obviously, you haven't told your teacher Miss Danister about you and the witches; obviously, Galina has also hidden the news of you, a man who is extremely special to witches.

So, you neither want to leak Galina's identity nor want your identity to be leaked to the council, right?"

She asked with a smile.

"Are you threatening the person who saved you?"

Xia De asked back, and the artist lady shook her head immediately:

"I am a decent person. You saved me, I won't threaten you. Although the outside world has various misunderstandings about our 【Witch Council】, everyone is actually a good girl."

With her right hand on her waist, she issued an invitation to Xia De:

"I want you to help. Of course, whether you agree to help me or not, I will keep the secret for you and pretend I don't know about your underground affair with Galina."

This underground affair was already known to everyone in the city.

Xia De really thought she wanted to threaten himself just now. Seeing her say this, he felt that he had underestimated the girl in front of him:

"What do you want me to help you do?"

"I hope you can help me find a way to lift the 【Time Curse】. Don't rush to speak, I know you would do this anyway, but I'm worried that the method you find is only enough for one person to use. When the time comes, do you guess you will help me or your teacher?"

Everyone knew the answer, so there was no need to say it.

"Besides that, I came to Brookwood Town alone for my own reasons. I was worried that I was the only one, but now with you and that 'Red Moon Witch', I think my things should go smoothly. I want to invite you to help, of course, I won't let you work for nothing, I will give you a reward. Do you know Luo De cards?"

Xia De looked at her, and the witch with gray hair then answered herself:

"You are the champion of the big city player 1853, a legendary Luo De card player who is now very popular, how could you not know Luo De cards?"

"Are you going to ask me to help with paper cards? 【Founder·Time】?"

The witch who had been smiling finally stopped smiling:

"If I could take out this kind of paper card, as long as I maneuver among the nobles of Willondale, I could exchange for the support of people that even my grandfather would not dare to offend to help my aunt.

Not the founder series, but it is also an early series, 【Race Legend·Elf】. This series of cards has never been reprinted. It contains thirteen special cards, including thirteen well-known races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons. How about it, are you interested?" ===== CHAPTER 2515 =====

"I came looking for my uncle, who also went missing here more than ten years ago. I only found the information a while ago; the last place he was seen was Creekwood Town.

I will not hide it from you: my grandfather is now seriously ill, and the Winslet family is about to choose a new family heir. I do not want to compete for this, but I also do not want to let my father inherit my grandfather's business. Yes, I have some conflicts with him.

Finding my uncle—he will support my aunt in inheriting the family. I promise that you will also gain the friendship of the Winslet family because of this. I know that as Galina's lover, you might not care about this, so I am giving a different reward... Do you know about Tarot cards?"

Xia De looked at her, and the gray-haired witch spoke and answered for herself:

"You are the champion of the Great City Player 1853, a legendary Tarot card player who is currently the talk of the town; how could you not know about Tarot cards?"

"You want to use playing cards to ask for my help? 【Founding · Time】?"

The witch, who had been smiling the whole time, finally stopped smiling:

"If I could produce that kind of playing card, I could just maneuver among the nobles of Willendale and somehow trade it for the support of someone even my grandfather would not dare to offend to help my aunt.

It is not the Founding series, but it is also an early series: 【Racial Legends · Elves】. This series of cards has never been reprinted; it consists of thirteen special cards, including thirteen well-known races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons. How about it? Are you interested?"
