Chapter 841

~9 min read 1,651 words

Miss Emma Sylvia looked at the three people in the room, and all three were stunned by the lady who walked in quickly and stopped their attacks on each other.

The Great Witch showed an expression of disgust, moved her eyes away from the bald man's face, and then saw Xia De, suddenly widening her eyes, showing an incredible expression:

"You..."

"I am one of that lady's people!"

Xia De immediately lifted the badge on his chest:

"That lady will explain everything to you. This is a Ringed Shushi from the Pantanal Voodoo Society, it was he who murdered Count Sacia!"

Xia De shouted loudly, so the young Great Witch looked at the bald man closest to her again. The latter was stunned, and then said viciously:

"No matter who you are, those who know the truth of this matter..."

Miss Sylvia raised her hand and waved it at the air—

Slap!

The man's face seemed to be hit by an invisible hand, his head turned 180 degrees on his neck, and the corpse fell straight down.

Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt both looked at the Great Witch who was wiping her hands with a handkerchief in horror. Xia De even knew that this was the use of spatial power; it looked like it was waved in the air, but in fact, the force directly attacked the person five meters away.

"I am one of that lady's people!"

Xia De had to emphasize again to ensure his safety.

This witch with short black hair did not care about the vampire who retreated in horror. She took a step and appeared directly in front of Xia De, took a close look at the pendant on his chest, and then, like all the witches Xia De had seen, her fair and warm hand grabbed his wrist:

"Are you really a man?"

Although her eyes were sharp and her actions decisive, her tone was unexpectedly not very aggressive. She let go of her hand, then looked at her own palm and asked the question Xia De did not know how many times he had heard.

"Of course!"

Xia De nodded immediately:

"God once guaranteed it."

He smelled the perfume of "witch's scent." In Miss Sylvia's perfume, there was the scent of jasmine.

"Was the spatial miracle just now used by you?"

The witch asked again, Xia De nodded again, and Miss Sylvia's brown eyes sized him up carefully:

"So, are you really a man?"

Saying this, she wanted to grab Xia De's wrist again, but at this time, the sound of the doorknob being turned appeared again. It was not the doorknob of the room, but the doorknob of the washroom.

Miss Martha, who had changed into another set of clothes, walked out of the washroom and was stunned. She was an ordinary person and could not feel the fluctuation of elements just now. Because of the silence charm, she could not hear the sound outside at all, so she could not imagine what had happened in the five minutes she was changing clothes that would make such a beautiful young lady appear in the room.

Afterward, she saw the bald corpse on the ground and wanted to speak, but the Great Witch Miss Sylvia just pointed her hand. As gray light jumped around her, Miss Martha froze in place as if petrified, and her eyes completely lost their spirit.

This is the basic spell-petrification spell. Xia De had read its improved and weakened version, "partial petrification spell," in "The Pink Book."

"Sir, we will talk about your question later."

The witch looked at Xia De:

"Now, first explain the identities of you two, and what exactly is going on with this murder case."

"Before that, you'd better deal with him first."

Xia De pointed to the "corpse" on the ground whose head was turned 180 degrees. The voice in his ear said very clearly that this guy was not dead.

Sure enough, as Xia De pointed his finger at the bald man, the latter jumped up from the ground and then turned into a group of worm-like vines and rushed toward the window.

"Imprison!"

The Great Witch pointed her finger, and the dense group of terrifying vines and the human skin wrapped in the middle were frozen in the air like a 3D photo. This time it was not a petrification spell, but a means similar to "spatial imprisonment." Great Witch Emma Sylvia corresponds to the "space" seat and is a genuine Tenth Ring Shushi who is good at spatial power.

"Now, can you introduce your identities?"

She asked softly again, Xia De nodded immediately:

"I am Xia De Hamilton."

Since he had already been seen by this Great Witch, and the other party was only puzzled about "man" rather than thinking that Xia De's appearance broke the rules of the witches, Xia De no longer hid it:

"My affairs, that lady will explain clearly to you. This is Viscount Armand Bernhardt, you should have heard of him from Grandma Cassandra."

Miss Sylvia frowned slightly:

"The vampire who tried to rob the auction house on the night of the Battle of Midhillburg but was caught by the apprentice?"

She glanced at Mr. Bernhardt, who was trying to make himself less conspicuous. The latter completely understood who the other party was. The psychological trauma brought by the near-death experience at Cassandra Auction House made this gentleman wish he could disappear from the room immediately.

"We are all good people, and meeting Her Highness today is purely a coincidence."

Xia De emphasized again, feeling much more at ease now. He signaled the witch to sit down and talk, and then recounted from beginning to end what happened in the White King Club this Thursday afternoon.

Miss Sylvia listened quietly, and only after Xia De finished speaking did she nod gently:

"The most important thing now is to let Margaret stay out of this matter and not delay the visit to Tobesk."

She pointed to Miss Martha, who was petrified:

"I will modify her memory, let her think that she was caught by you together after knocking out Colonel Wood. I will also modify this Colonel's memory, let him think he was knocked out. As for the cracks in the ring, this kind of simple alchemical item is easy to repair."

Afterward, she pointed to the terrifying group of vines imprisoned in the air, which was simply like a statue left by the craziest artist:

"I will hand him over to the Zhengshen Sect Society through the black market, leaving some clues so that the church knows that this matter is related to Ringed Shushi. As for the follow-up, let the Zhengshen Sect Society of this parish pursue it themselves. This has nothing to do with Margaret's visiting delegation."

After speaking, those extremely sharp and spirited eyes looked at Xia De again:

"The bounty on him, I will give you each a quarter."

"No need, no need, it all belongs to you!"

The middle-aged vampire said immediately, and Xia De also nodded:

"Yes, no need to give it to us, as long as this matter doesn't involve us."

Miss Sylvia did not refuse, her tone seemed to be a bit lighter, and there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth:

"The vampire over there is not my business, I will pretend I didn't see you today."

Mr. Bernhardt let out a long breath. Of course, he did not dare to reveal Miss Sylvia's identity. Before leaving the auction house, Grandma Cassandra had made him sign a soul contract.

"As for you, Mr. Xia De Hamilton."

She grabbed Xia De's wrist again, looking carefully at the handsome face in front of her:

"This name, I seem to have heard it somewhere... Yes, when Margaret talked about the gossip in Tobesk, she mentioned this name. So that's it. It turns out that the scandals and gossip about her that have spread from Tobesk in the past six months were not released by that lady on purpose to prevent being urged to marry. This is actually true. She actually found someone like you, this is really..."

Suddenly she smiled and let go of Xia De's hand:

"If you are her lover, of course I won't do anything to you. But I will see that lady tonight, she needs to explain this matter. Sir, clean up here now, don't let this matter delay the visiting delegation's itinerary."

"No problem, it's great that you can think this way!"

Xia De took a deep breath. As invisible airflow surged toward his nostrils from the surroundings, the damage to the walls and the floor corroded by acid recovered to its original state as if time had flowed backward.

Mr. Bernhardt kept his head down and did not dare to look up at all, so he did not see this scene, and the Great Witch naturally recognized what this was.

"Time? I didn't expect you to be proficient in time as well, but is it too wasteful to use this kind of miracle just to clean the room?"

Miss Sylvia looked at him with increasing curiosity:

"Jia... that lady, this time she really found a treasure... Do you know how to report what happened here to Margaret?"

"Yes, my lady!"

Mr. Bernhardt said with his head down, he was really afraid of these witches:

"This matter has nothing to do with Ringed Shushi, let the church investigate the true cause of the Count's death."

"Yes, now please wake up Colonel Wood, and you go to see Margaret together."

After speaking, she walked toward the door:

"I will go to explain to Margaret that you found the murderer... Mr. Hamilton."

She suddenly turned around and looked at Xia De, with a smile on her lips:

"I have read 'The Hamilton Detective Stories,' so it turns out you really are a famous detective."
