Saturday night, 8 o'clock.

Klein rode in his high-end carriage and arrived at Congressman Macht's house at 39 Berlund Street.

Glancing at the fountain pool where the water was roaring and reflecting the lights, he buttoned the buttons of his tuxedo as he stepped out of the carriage and walked slowly to the main entrance of the house.

Richardson followed his employer with a beautifully packaged bottle of South Wales.

Entering the gate, Klein saw Councillor Maury Macht and his wife, Ms. Liana, greet him.

The former wears an olive-green army officer's uniform with an orange-red ribbon and several medals on his chest - in the Kingdom of Rune, active or retired officers like to wear their military uniform at the ball.

The latter wears a long yellow dress with a non-stand-up collar, mostly with ruffles and delicate lace, which is different from unmarried ladies, but also shows a fair neck and half of the shoulders.

Klein took the bottle of Southwell wine from the valet Richardson, handed it to Councillor Macht, and saluted:

"Sorry for being a few minutes late. ”

This is actually a common situation in Rune banquets, where guests would rather be late for a certain amount of time than early, because the host may still be busy making the final preparations for the banquet, which is not suitable for entertaining guests, and of course, being late should be controlled within ten minutes.

If it weren't for Vahanna's specific teaching of common sense in this area, Klein would have politely arrived a while early.

"It's okay, the prom hasn't officially started yet. Mahert glanced at the South Wil wine in his hand, and nodded with a smile as he handed it to his personal valet.

In the high society of Rune, the first time you attend a banquet held by the other party, you must give the host a small gift, among which alcohol is the most popular, but you must remember that the first time you have to choose a domestic one.

After greeting the man, Klein looked at Mrs. Liana again, and saw that she raised her right hand slightly, so he stepped forward, took her palm, bent down and kissed it:

"Your light illuminates the whole ball. ”

Before the feast begins, compliments to the host are one of the few places in Rune's social occasions that do not need to be subtle, and unlike Intis, Rune's kiss must be made by the woman before the man can proceed, otherwise it is a serious faux pas.

"The same is true of your coming. Lady Liana replied with a smile.

The couple then led Dawn Dantès through the porch and into the hall, where the melodious melody was already echoing.

A few steps forward, Maury Mahert pointed to a young girl in a long sky blue dress and said:

"My daughter, Hazel. ”

Klein then looked at the girl, his eyes suddenly shrinking!

He knew the girl!

To be precise, he has seen the image of the other party!

When he asks Arrodus where he can get a magical item that can steal someone else's extraordinary abilities, the "Magic Mirror" shows a scene of a haughty girl wandering down the sewers, and this is none other than Hazel Macht, a young lady with long, dark green wavy hair and bright dark brown eyes!

She has a magical item corresponding to the "Fire Thief"? With her family conditions, how could she wander in the sewers? That was her own adventure? What was she looking for or waiting for in the sewers? She had become extraordinary? How did she become extraordinary? Could she also have an old grandfather in her body? Could that old man also be like the "blasphemer" Amon, who could sense the breath of gray mist? Crane, who was dressed in the "skin" of Daun Dantès, instantly thought of a lot of questions, but on the surface he quietly pressed his chest and saluted:

"Good evening, Miss Hazel. ”

In the process, he quietly glanced at Hazel Macht's face, and found that the girl had a flat expression and a haughty look in her eyes, and only replied with a polite smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Dantès. ”

She didn't react normally, which means that at least she couldn't detect the gray mist...... As for whether she has an old grandfather parasitism, it is not certain for the time being, so we have to continue to observe...... Klein propped up, took a glass of pale gold champagne from the tray held by the waiter next to him, and turned to talk to Congressman Maury Macht:

"I didn't expect you to be a major, Councillor. ”

This is evident from the epaulettes of Congressman Makht.

If the other party was a colonel, Klein would have suspected that this gentleman was also extraordinary, but it was difficult for the major to say.

"Haha, it's nothing, there are too many opportunities to build merit in East Bailang. "Of course, the climate is also very uncomfortable, and I have been suggesting to the upper echelons of the army that special uniforms be designed for East and West Byrang, with the traditional dark colors removed, otherwise the officers will feel like beef on the grill." ”

As for the soldiers, most of them are red and white.

"Yes, the climate there is completely different from the rest of the country, even the Coast of Didsey, it is not so hot. Klein's vague statement that he had been to the Southern Continent, to one of the East and West Byran, corroborated with the hunting experience he had mentioned a few days earlier.

After a few minutes of greetings, Councillor Mahert apologized, and led his wife Liana to the staircase, went up to the second floor, and held up a glass of red wine at the fence facing the gate:

"Thank you for attending this ball, and first of all, let us praise the gods, who are the source of all goodness. ”

He and Lady Liana immediately tapped four times on their chests and whispered praises to the goddess, and the guests each praised the gods they believed in in their own ways.

Congressman Makht still held his glass, did not put it down, and continued with a smile:

Second, praise the Kingdom, which is the cornerstone of stability. ”

"Praise the Kingdom. Crane raised his glass of champagne and followed the guests around him.

Then, Councillor Macht looked around and asked humorously:

"Finally, what shall we praise?"

Klein's thought moved, and he laughed loudly:

"Praise Beckland for the better air. ”

Councillor Makht was stunned for a moment, and replied with an uncontrollable smile:

"Very good, this offer is good.

"Let's praise the better air in Beckland, it's a symbol of our better life, cheers!"

Controlling air pollution has always been his political philosophy as a member of the House of Commons, and he has always promoted the formulation of corresponding bills on various occasions and played a significant role in improving the environment, so praising Beckland's improved air quality is tantamount to praising him, and it is more subtle and above board.

The guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic beverages in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Councillor Makht took Mrs. Liana's hand and went down to the hall on the first floor, where she danced the opening dance to a soft melody.

The men in the room began to look for their first dance partner, and Crane took another glass of champagne and leisurely surveyed the guests.

Hey, Lady Mary is here too...... He glanced at it and found an acquaintance: Lady Mary, the majority shareholder of Coim's company, worth tens of thousands of pounds, who had entrusted Sherlock Moriarty with the treacherous apprehension.

She is a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, and it is normal for the pro-Commons to be close to her...... Klein didn't try to invite them to dance because he was now Dawn Dantès and didn't know any ladies out of the block.

He withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere, where he saw Hazel Macht standing on the edge with a glass of white wine, smiling slightly detached, as the men locked on to each other, ready to dance.

This young lady is actually very good-looking, atmospheric and feminine, she should be the star of the ball, and everyone is vying for the object of invitation to dance, but her arrogant attitude with a condescending meaning makes the men who set their eyes on her shift their targets.

I have seen this kind of look in some extraordinary people, who think that they are no longer ordinary, and when facing ordinary people, they have a strong sense of superiority...... Hehe, this shows that Miss Hazel is most likely extraordinary...... That's right, if she wasn't extraordinary, how dare she wander in the sewers...... She is a "thief"? But how can such a haughty appearance play the role of a "thief" and a "fraudster"? It is unimaginable...... Seeing that the opening dance of the congressman and his wife was coming to an end, Klein began to seriously consider which lady to invite.

Daun Dantès was in his early forties, and it was not appropriate to invite a girl for his first dance, unless it was a definite junior, and the first dance of the ladies would be for their husbands...... Well, you should invite someone familiar or the host of the ball...... Crane's eyes swept around the dance floor, and he found only one lady that Dawn Dantès was familiar with: the etiquette teacher Vahana.

Invite her? No, she should have known that inviting her to dance for the first time at this time would easily make her misunderstood, which might affect the relationship between her husband and wife, and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for the identity of Dawn Dantès...... I'm not an emperor, I like wives, no, he likes everything, in short, you have to avoid suspicion...... As Klein's gaze wandered, he heard the music change, from soft to light.

It is a popular music in the central countryside of Rune and is loved by the aristocracy and is often used to accompany the first dance.

As the melody changed, the men approached the chosen young lady or lady, and Klein noticed that no one approached Herzel Macht.

She is one of the masters of the ball...... And you can take a closer look...... Hehe, if she is really an extraordinary person in the "Thief" path, then it means that the gray fog also has a certain "cohesion" for the similar path of the "Fortune Teller...... With a gentle smile, Crane walked unhappily towards the haughty girl.

"Miss Hazel, may I ask you to do a dance?" said Daun Dantès, who had gray sideburns, in a standard salute.

Hazel glanced at him, was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"It's my pleasure. ”

She then stretched out her palm.

Crane politely grabbed her and stepped onto the dance floor, dancing a light and lively dance to the melody.

Glancing at the other party's soft but expressionless face, Klein smiled tentatively:

"I have just noticed that many young gentlemen want to ask you to dance, but they fail to muster up the courage. ”

Hazel raised her head slightly, her eyes swept and said:

"Mr. Dantès, this is not a polite subject. ”

...... Klein choked and didn't know how to continue.
