Chapter 892

Holding the cat with one hand, in order to prevent others from seeing his expression at this time, Xia De lowered his head to tidy up the folds of his clothes while walking. When he looked up again, his peripheral vision swept across the position where the banquet hall connected to the corridor, but he suddenly froze:

"Hmm? Did I see it wrong?"

【Didn't see it wrong, it's him.】

"Oh, my Mia."

Xia De groaned softly in his heart and walked quickly toward the corridor on the first floor.

"Doctor Shi Nai De!"

Dozens of seconds later, he crossed the crowd and came to the corridor. He shouted softly, and the middle-aged man at the other end of the empty corridor, who was preparing to turn the corner, stopped. Turning to look at Xia De, it was indeed Doctor Bill Shi Nai De.

The middle-aged psychologist with blue eyes was also dressed decently to attend this banquet. The silk hat and formal suit looked quite impressive.

"Oh, good evening, Xia De."

He stopped and greeted Xia De, not surprised at all that Xia De also attended the banquet:

"I just heard about your affairs, the dart game and the horse race, really not bad. It seems that your social life is truly colorful."

"Don't talk about this first, Doctor, why are you here?"

Xia De asked in surprise, walking quickly to join him and then asking in a low voice. He still remembered that night in midsummer when he also accidentally saw Doctor Shi Nai De in Lake View Manor before experiencing the beginning of all stories.

The corridor on the first floor of the banquet was almost empty. There were only some art exhibitions here. The sound coming from the courtyard outside was louder than the sound inside, so there was no need to worry about the conversation being heard.

"This..."

Doctor Shi Nai De hesitated before saying:

"I'll tell you, but you can't tell others."

"Don't worry, I can even swear with my cat."

"There's no need for that, it's not that serious."

The doctor shook his head, standing under the gas lamp at the corner. After the accident on a midsummer night, all the gas lamps in Lake View Manor were replaced. The church was worried that the unsuccessful divine descent in the manor had left hidden dangers, so the gas lamps uniformly had the sun pattern of the Sun Holy Emblem.

"I came accompanied by Mr. Alan Madison."

After speaking, he added:

"You still remember this gentleman, right? A correspondence ring sorcerer of the Schluch Lake Higher Medical College, who is a team leader like me. Last time you saw him with me at St. Deran Square, that was when you went to peddle..." (Chapter 371)

"Oh, Doctor, you don't need to remind me."

Xia De immediately stopped him from continuing. Doctor Shi Nai De's "Great Memory Recovery Technique" method was very effective:

"It's that spice merchant wearing a headscarf."

He nodded to show that he remembered.

The doctor continued to speak, looking around:

"Two correspondence ring sorcerers of the Schluch Lake Higher Medical College came from other places, not from the local area. According to the college's arrangement, those two correspondence students from other places were to connect with Alan and use their team's identity to carry out activities during their stay in Tobesk. Both sides agreed to confirm their identities at the banquet tonight, but you also know that Alan is not a nobleman and has never attended similar gatherings. Because he was worried about making a fool of himself if he came alone, he invited me to come with him."

"So that's how it is."

Xia De nodded lightly. Priest Ao Gu Si did not contact the local team when he went to Midshillburg because the old priest's identity was special, and there was also a special mission from the church at that time. And the Princess was obviously diligent and eager to learn, unlike Priest Ao Gu Si.

"However, I can't tell you who those two correspondence ring sorcerers from other places are..."

After the doctor finished speaking, he added with a smile as if he couldn't help it:

"Their identities are very special. I was very surprised when I heard about it at the time."

He looked like he wanted to share the secret with Xia De but couldn't say it.

Xia De nodded again and said indifferently:

"It's Princess Margaret Anjou and the poet Sir Leikins Puli Xia."

"Hmm?"

Doctor Shi Nai De was surprised:

"How did you..."

"I also have my own information channels."

Xia De pointed upward, letting the doctor guess for himself.

The doctor didn't ask about the source of the information, but instead issued an invitation:

"Since you already know, why don't you go with me. I think that Princess wouldn't mind knowing other ring sorcerers in the local area. And you are also a nobleman, maybe you will have common topics with the Princess and the Sir."

"No, no, Doctor, I won't go together."

Xia De shook his head. He didn't want to expose his identity as a ring sorcerer in front of those two for the time being:

"I have urgent matters to attend to, I'm going to look at a handwritten book."

"Is it an ancient book? The banquet is indeed a good place for trading. Go do your business. However, our team has a good relationship with Alan's team. If you still want to know those two gentlemen and ladies from other places, you can let Alan introduce you in the future."

Doctor Shi Nai De said, wanting to say goodbye, but suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, is something going to happen to this manor again? Just now I saw several ring sorcerers from the Orthodox Church, but I'm not sure if they are just here to attend the banquet or for something else."

"Probably to protect the Princess."

Xia De said, wanting to explain what happened in Huntington, but then thought of the news that the witches said a "big guy" was going to appear in Schluch Lake, so he warned:

"Doctor, don't go near Schluch Lake tonight."

"What would I go there for?"

Doctor Shi Nai De asked suspiciously, but immediately understood, and a little panic appeared on his face:

"Oh, you mean... it won't be that kind of thing from midsummer again, right?"

"No, no, it's not that serious, just an uncontained relic. High-ring sorcerers will handle this matter, let's not go near it."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief:

"This manor has left a deep impression on me. I don't want to be forced to use the Language of Sublimation again. Then, I'll go over first, Alan is still waiting for me. Remember to contact me at any time if you have anything... I just feel that some incredible things will happen tonight."

The doctor muttered, turning to walk toward the corridor on the other side.

Xia De stood there watching the doctor's back. Past experience told him that whenever Doctor Shi Nai De appeared at a night banquet for strange reasons, and he happened to run into him, something big would happen every time:

"What exactly will happen?"

Thinking about this wedding banquet tonight, Xia De went from the first floor to the third floor. Just like before, the guards guarding the corridor where the lounge was located had no intention of stopping Xia De at all.

But before Xia De knocked on the door of Lei Qianya's lounge, the door opposite was opened. Little Princess Angelina and several other noble girls who also looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old walked out talking and laughing.

They were painting oil paintings in the room just now. Xia De saw those easels standing by the window, and the canvases were some abstract dark blue starry skies.

"Detective Hamilton."

Angelina was still chatting and laughing with her companions, but when she looked up and saw Xia De, she greeted him with a smile, and even greeted Little Mia:

"Do you want to go for a stroll in the garden with us? There seems to be a goose-herding game in the hedge maze, that would be very interesting."

"Goose-herding game" refers to using wooden sticks or other means to drive geese enclosed in a fence into a target position within a certain time limit. This sounds like a game for country folk, but it is also very popular at wedding banquets.

Angelina was talking when she suddenly froze because she realized which door Xia De was standing in front of:

"Detective, you..."

A look of panic appeared on her face, and she asked at a loss:

"What are you doing?"

"Your Highness Lei Qianya said she has a handwritten copy of 'Summer Night Collection' and invited me to take a look together."

Xia De said naturally. Angelina nodded first, and then as if thinking of something:

"Don't go, she is lying to..."

Creak~

"Oh, Angelina, I thought you were still painting oil paintings. What are you talking about?"

The door was opened, and Lei Qianya, who was keeping the action of pushing the door, asked curiously.

"Sister, I..."

The sixteen-year-old princess subconsciously took a step back, stuttering and not knowing what to say. Lei Qianya looked at her strangely, then reached out and grabbed Xia De's wrist, pulling him into the room, complaining with some dissatisfaction in her mouth:

"Really, why did you dawdle for so long? I told you to come quickly just now. Oh, Knight, I'm not this patient every time. You'd better respect a lady's invitation. Do you need me to have someone tie you in?"

After speaking, she closed the door with a bang~, leaving only Angelina standing there pinching the corner of her skirt.

The youngest daughter of the Ai Si Bo Ge family who had already walked far away turned to call her, but Angelina shook her head and let them leave first.

When she was the only one left in the corridor, the little princess walked carefully to the door of Lei Qianya's room, and then bit her lip and pressed her ear against it.

She heard the laughter of women, messy footsteps, the sound of wine glasses colliding, the sound of curtains being pulled, the sound of cats and wardrobe doors, and then all sounds stopped abruptly because the silence spell was thrown onto the carpet.

Although nothing could be heard at this moment, as long as she thought about what might be happening inside now, a feeling of being scratched by cat claws surged into her heart. Angelina Cavendish stood motionless with her ear pressed against the door. Even though she was standing in the brightly lit corridor at this moment, and the indoor temperature was suitable, the loss and anxiety still made her feel like she was standing on a snowy street. Imagining what was happening in that hot room at this moment, accompanied by the appearance of a grievance, there was even an inexplicable emotion surging out...

"Oh~"

She sighed softly, and then realized that her emotions were very abnormal. Angelina left the door immediately, touched her hot face, and then ran to chase her friends while holding her skirt.

Turning her head to look at the door again, Angelina Catherine Cavendish said softly in her heart:

"Knight Hamilton, I will definitely save you."
