Chapter 2534: Charlotte Bell

Dang dang dang~

As soon as the witch's voice fell, a knock on the door sounded immediately. The young girl was clearly already waiting outside.

So Miss Wensilai Te said directly:

"Please come in."

"This seems to be my room."

The eighteen-year-old female warlock complained softly, and then the three saw the door pushed open, and a black-haired girl who looked to be about twenty years old walked in. Although her hair was short, she still tied it into something like a braid.

The black-haired girl wore a white shirt on her upper body and a black skirt on her lower body. The traditional black and white attire made her look very ordinary, but in fact, her face was quite pretty. Her head was slightly lowered, and her expression seemed a bit sad, but Miss Wensilai Te denied Xia De's view.

She put down her thinking about complex problems and walked to the young girl's side with a smile:

"Let me introduce her; this is my apprentice, and of course, also my most important assistant—Charlotte Bell. She always has this sad expression, but this is just like how Miss Jia Lin Na's maid is always expressionless; they are both her habitual actions."

Xia De and Miss Dannis Te nodded to Miss Bell with a smile, so the witch introduced to her apprentice:

"Charlotte, this is Professor Dannis Te from Saint Byron, a new friend I met locally, and we both live in the hotel. The male next to her who doesn't look like a man is the professor's student; I mean the student who is taught real skills: Xia De Hamilton.

Don't worry, you two; the witch apprentice will not leak the secrets obtained from the teacher; this is an important part of the apprentice contract."

She added at the end.

"Good evening, Professor, good evening, Mr. Hamilton."

The black-haired girl then said softly. Xia De saw that her face was a bit pale, as if she were in poor health, but his perception told Xia De that this Fifth-Ring witch apprentice was quite healthy.

In short, the appearance of Miss Charlotte Bell, with her pale face, matched Xia De's imagination of a "Great Witch of Death". The lively artist Miss Fu Luola Wensilai Te, on the other hand, did not look like "death" at all.

Because she had been traveling all over the Old Continent for years to collect material, the number of Miss Wensilai Te's followers was about the same as that of the youngest Great Witch, Miss Sylvia, both being the fewest among the Great Witches of this generation.

Only a few people like Miss Bell followed her year-round, while others helped her manage the "Fu Luola Gallery" and other business matters in the capacity of "Artist Fu Luola Wensilai Te's assistants", such as performance invitations, book manuscripts, or oil painting exhibitions.

The "Fu Luola Gallery" was located in Willondale, and this time, only ten followers came to Vista City with Miss Bell.

Although Xia De couldn't get a room here, Miss Wensilai Te could. They all stayed in guest rooms on the second floor; three girls shared one room, while Miss Bell, as an assistant and maid, would later live in the suite of Room 321 with Miss Wensilai Te.

In order to keep the secret of Xia De and Miss Dannis Te, after meeting Miss Bell, the witch only let two high-ring girls from the nine-person "assistant group" come to see them, and then arranged for Miss Bell to organize dinner together in Miss Dannis Te's room.

She seemed to want to show off to Miss Dannis Te that her apprentice was also excellent, so she told many stories about herself and Miss Bell during the four-person dinner.

Xia De also learned from this that Miss Charlotte Bell was a girl from an ordinary background who came into contact with "Wensilai Te Press" while attending a women's college, wanted to become a full-time reporter after graduation, and was then chosen by the witch who had not yet left the family to become an apprentice.

Like most witch apprentices Xia De knew, Miss Bell remained reticent in the presence of the witch. Only when Miss Wensilai Te asked about their affairs in Willondale would she put down her knife and fork and answer questions softly.

Her Karsenrik language had a distinct characteristic. Although it was not the standard Willondale accent, combined with her gentle and low voice, it made her voice very charming when she spoke.

"Charlotte brought the materials we needed. I know very powerful people in Willondale; she almost copied and brought a full set of 'Grey Glove' materials about the Creekwood Town era."

After dinner, the witch said quite proudly. Xia De knew as soon as he heard it that she had gone to ask Miss Sylvia for help.

"And Charlotte also brought me a handwritten letter from Princess Margaret Anjou, which can help us open up the situation among the nobles in Vista City. Although I also know quite a few local nobles, after all, the Princess's status is more useful."

Speaking of this, she remembered her tracking investigation in the afternoon;

"After coming back in the evening, I was confused by the questions you asked, and I haven't told you about the things I investigated yet.

It's like this, Xia De, tomorrow night, which is Tuesday night, I'm afraid you have to go out with me. Count Collins of the local area is holding a banquet to entertain local celebrities and musicians who came to participate in the Moon Dance Festival concert.

The old Bennett family and the Carmin Baron family have both received invitations, and I need you to go and confirm whether the old Bennett family and Baron Carmin's other family members have been cursed by time."

She sat on the sofa holding a teacup, and then met the red-haired girl's question:

"Why is it Xia De going with you, and not me?"

"Because to attend this banquet, you have to use my identity."

Miss Wensilai Te answered with a smile. Because she knew the relationship between Xia De and Miss Jia Lin Na, she did not remind Xia De of the precautions for attending the banquet:

"Dannis Te, just lend us that relic when the time comes. I really hope this complicated blood relationship only exists between Baron Carmin and young Carmin."

She explained the current investigation progress to her apprentice and the amazing facts discovered today, and then sat comfortably on the sofa and chatted with Xia De and Miss Dannis Te about Baron Carmin:

"No matter who gave birth to whom, we must first figure out the entire blood relationship of that family at tomorrow night's banquet before conducting a targeted investigation. Before that, I don't suggest taking too many actions against the Bennett family; after all, the 【Tree Hole Society】 is still watching in the dark."

"Tomorrow I want to go to the Bennett family's graves to take a look. For a time curse, even if the body dies and the soul leaves, the power of the curse should still remain in the bones."

Xia De suggested, but actually, he wanted to see which "Bennett" was the debtor that "Desire" said "wife died early, offered three children".

The mermaid definitely didn't want Xia De to find bones, so after confirming the identity, Xia De might have to go to the past time to find the person. As for how to complete the "debt collection", Xia De believed the mermaid had her own way.

"That's fine too. Fu Luola, you arrange for your followers to act in the city during the day tomorrow, and Xia De and I will investigate the cemetery."

The red-haired girl said:

"Staying in the room these days, it's my turn to go out, and you stay here to guard the broom closet."

The witch with grey-black hair knew that such an arrangement was very appropriate. Her followers had just arrived locally and indeed needed her to arrange the follow-up investigation work. Although she was a bit regretful that the opportunity to go out had to be given to others, thinking of tomorrow night's banquet, she did not object:

"That's fine, it just so happens I can take advantage of the day to tidy up my hair. With Charlotte not by my side, there is no one to even help me comb my hair."

After saying this, she remembered another thing, so she said to the black-haired girl standing by the sofa:

"Charlotte, is that 【Racial Legend·Elf】 card still in your hand?"

"Yes, Miss."

The witch pointed to Xia De:

"Give that card to Mr. Hamilton; this is the reward for the investigation I entrusted him to help with."

Xia De noticed that the young girl's fist clenched for a moment, but it quickly loosened:

"Yes, Miss."

Subsequently, the black-haired girl pursed her lips and lowered her head, taking out her deck from the card case hanging on the side of her skirt. It looked like there was no chance to play cards tonight, but she carried Rod cards with her, which showed she was a very professional Rod card player.

The witch apprentice skillfully spread out the deck to find that special card. Seeing her like this, Xia De hesitated for a moment in his heart, and then stopped her:

"Wait a moment."

He also took out his own deck from his pocket:

"Nothing to do tonight, since that 【Racial Legend·Elf】 is in your deck, why don't we play a game of Rod cards? If you win, that card will stay in your deck, and I will come to challenge again next month; if I win, you give me that card now."

Miss Wensilai Te and Miss Dannis Te looked over with great interest immediately, but the black-haired girl shook her head:

"That card does not belong to me; this is Miss's property, and it is the reward for you accepting the commission."

Saying this, she drew the card and handed it to Xia De.

【Racial Legend·Elf】, Flower 10. The card face shows a long-haired elf girl in a cloak pulling a longbow in a dense forest. The elf girl's appearance is not as good as the mysterious elf in the forest.

Special rules are written below the card face:

【If this card is drawn when the number of hand cards is already greater than or equal to 2, this card can be adjusted between 10 and 11.】

"Simple but quite useful rules. Early special rule Rod cards are not as complex and useless as they are now."

Xia De commented, but did not take the card, but looked up at the black-haired girl standing:

"Do you really not want to play a game with me? You know my name is Xia De Hamilton; I am that 1853 Great City Player Champion."

The black-haired girl was stunned, then widened her eyes and took a small step back subconsciously:

"Is it you? I just thought it was the same name... Mr. Hamilton, the Legendary Player·Lei Jiede!"

Xia De then smiled and asked again:

"Do you really not want to play a game with me? Have you read the recent 'Three Penny Newspaper'? 【Founding·Light】 has been appraised, and there are eight Founding series in my deck alone." ===== CHAPTER 2535 =====
