A firm nose, sparse eyebrows, slightly droopy cheeks, and pale blue eyes...... Ziringers looked at himself in the mirror and looked up and down several times, confirming that there was no difference between him and the unconscious man.

After gesturing a few of the other party's habitual movements, he bent down and dragged the man on the ground aside and stuffed it into the closet.

Then, he reached forward with his right hand and snapped the other's neck.

Pulling out his handkerchief and wiping his palm, Zilingers pulled the door to the closet.

He slowly returned to the mirror, put on a black double-breasted gown, tied his bow tie, and then picked up a bottle of amber perfume, dropped a few drops on his wrist, and wiped it on different parts of his body.

Looking in the mirror and combing his hair, Zilingers walked out of the door, closed his hands casually, and said to the butler who was waiting outside:

"Don't let anyone into my room, there are important items in it. ”

"Yes, Baron Grammier!" said the mottled butler, with his hands on his chest, bowed, "Your carriage and accompanying servants are waiting for you downstairs, and Duke Negan's invitation is there." ”

Keeping his baronial demeanor, Ziringos bowed his head slightly, and walked arrogantly to the staircase, accompanied by the butler.

Oh, a baron, who was burdened with a lot of debts and was reluctant to hire even ordinary security personnel, actually maintained a butler, a personal valet, two squires, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, two washermaids, a coachman, a horse feeder, a gardener, a cook, a cook's assistant, decency really trumped everything for these stupid nobles...... This made me have to waste time learning their outlandish pronunciation of certain words and the so-called aristocratic accent...... Ziringos thought coldly and disdainfully in his heart.

............

Beckland, Jowood District, in a cramped apartment.

Hugh Dilcha sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Furth Waldau, who was reading by the light of the window:

"It's so desperate that Ziringus has no clue left and never finds out what he wants to do in Beckland. ”

As planned, they called the police and secretly sent a letter to the police station where they received it, detailing the strange conditions at the murder scene and the suspected Ziringers criminals.

The response of the police department did not surprise them, and they were cautious and passed it directly over to the "penalty substitutes" team.

After a day of gestation, the news of "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zillingers infiltrating Beckland spread throughout the "law enforcement squad", and Hugh and Furth also left their original rented place and went into hiding to conduct a covert investigation.

They don't want to be brought back to the police station to assist in the investigation, and the members of the "Substitute Punishment", the "Night Watchman", and the members of the "Mechanical Heart" team are hostile to the Extraordinary who are not official, and see them as potential criminals.

Therefore, Hugh and Foirth are not only evading the possible recourse of Ziringers, but also the "enforcers".

"If it had been so easy for us to find out his purpose, Ziringus would have been buried in the cemetery long ago, and the tombstone must have been overgrown with weeds. "What we need is patience, as long as this intensity of investigation continues, Ziringus will inevitably make mistakes, and I have to say that magical items that can transform people into different appearances are really enviable." ”

Hugh clasped his hands on his knees, looked at the windowsill and said:

"I'm just worried that Ziringers will move in a short time and then run away from Beckland before everyone can react. ”

"In that case, I don't know when I'll be promoted to Sequence 8, let alone Sequence 6, Sequence 5......"

She paused for a few seconds, then whispered in a daze:

"I don't know when we'll get back what belongs to our family...... I haven't seen my brother in almost a year......"

Furth smiled with relief:

"When you've fulfilled your wish, allow me to write a story about your experience, which will be very exciting and interesting. ”

"Well, actually, I think that with Miss Audrey's generosity, even if the matter ends like this, she will give us a big bounty, after all, we have been busy for so long, after all, we let Ziringus show up. ”

"I hope so...... Hey, why can't I have adventures?" Hugh scratched at his shoulder-length blonde hair.

Furth frowned slightly and said:

"In the transcendent world, adventures are often accompanied by dangers, and I still don't know what the whispers that will appear during the full moon represent, whether they will cause any bad changes, hehe, there are adventures without danger, but they are very, very rare, and your wishes are really difficult to fulfill, unless, unless we can get the favor of an orthodox god, or the gaze of a friendly hidden being, however, it is difficult for us to tell if this is a disguise of evil gods and demons. ”

Hugh straightened his back and drew a crimson moon on his chest:

"May the Goddess bless me!"

............

Inside Duke Negan's mansion in Queens Beckland, a grand ball is underway.

It is divided into two parts, one is the dancing hall, which is located on the ground floor, paved with ornate stone slabs carved with intricate patterns, and in the corner there is an excellent band belonging to the duke, and along the stairs of the hall is the cloister on the second floor, which surrounds the circle, and the guests stand in front of the balustrade with their wine glasses, looking down at the dance below, similar to the fencing activity from the stands, and from time to time a gentleman walks up to the lady or lady and invites them to dance, and if they are allowed to go down the stairs and into the hall.

On the other side of the cloister, not close to the hall, there are doors one after another, and the back is basically the guest lounge.

But behind the opposite door is a corridor flanked by different plaster statues, all of which belonged to the ancestors of the Negan family.

At the end of the way, you will find another part of the ball, which is also a hall with long tables with a variety of food and wine, and another band belonging to the Duke playing melodious and relaxing music for the guests.

In this hall, guests gather in groups of three or five, sitting or standing to exchange various things, and those who want to escape the hustle and bustle for a short time enter the balconies attached to the hall to look out at the scenery in the garden and the red moon in the sky.

Audrey Hall, who skipped the opening dance, was standing on the second floor of the ball hall, staring at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof in a daze, looking at the candles on it, but after finding that many people were ready to move and wanted to come and invite the dance, she wittily left the place and stepped into the corridor leading to the "restaurant".

It's really boring, but I can't help but participate...... Well, can't they just let me sit there quietly and observe? I have to say, some people dance with so many expressions that always remind me of those courting animals...... Audrey looked down at her toes and walked boredly.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching, hurriedly slowed down, straightened her back, and instantly changed back to the elegant and quiet Miss Hall.

"Hello, Baron Gramiel. Audrey greeted with a flawless smile and etiquette.

Baron Gramiel, who had sparse eyebrows and pale blue eyes, smiled and saluted:

"Hello, Miss Hall, you are the brightest and brightest jewel of this ball. ”

After a few pleasantries, Baron Gramiel walked to the ball hall, while Audrey continued closer to the "dining room" position.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly frowned, and her green eyes were full of doubts:

"Baron Gramire is not the same as usual......"

In the past, when he saw a young lady and a lady with a higher status and more beautiful status than himself, he would move his eyes to the side, not daring to look directly, and then constantly peeking...... But today, he seems to be very confident......"

"Also, the smell of his perfume is not right, when he used to attend various parties, he exuded the base note of the perfume of 'amber', which was pure and light, not ostentatious but noble, that is to say, he would spray perfume a few hours in advance, so that the top notes and middle notes could evaporate before the banquet, but just now, the fragrance on his body was the heart of 'amber', dense and elegant......"

Audrey's pace is getting slower and slower, and as a "spectator" who has completely digested the potion, her sensitivity to detail is by no means matched by other extraordinary people.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her green and bright eyes froze:

"It can't be Ziringers pretending, right?"

"'Wriggling Hunger' has the ability to transform people into different appearances!"

......

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that there was such a possibility, and her heart was raised, nervous and flustered.

"If it's really 'Lieutenant General of the Hurricane', what does he want to do? Unfortunately, he can't bring Susie to this ball, or he can let him spy on Baron Gramere...... No, I have to warn Dad!" Audrey quickened her pace and entered the dining room, where she found Earl Hall, who was communicating with the chief secretary of the cabinet and the others.

With an impeccable smile, she walked over, took Earl Hall's arm, and said to the others:

"Ladies and gentlemen, can I borrow Count Hall for a few minutes?"

"Beautiful young lady, it's your right. Several gentlemen responded kindly.

Audrey took Earl Hall to the nearest balcony, found a secluded corner, and said to her middle-aged father:

"Dad, I have something for you. ”

Earl Hall originally had a doting smile, but seeing that his daughter's expression was very serious, he also became serious:

"What's the matter?"

"I met Baron Gramire just now, but he was different in some details, for example, the perfume on his body belonged to the heart of 'amber', and it used to be the bottom note, like ......," said Audrey, who observed the difference, which can be explained with sensitivity and care.

After describing what had just happened, she added thoughtfully:

"I've heard Viscount Glerint mention that 'Lieutenant General of the Hurricane' Ziringers has the ability to change into someone else's appearance, isn't he in Beckland lately?"

Earl Hall listened quietly, and his expression became unusually solemn.

But he soon smiled, comforted his slightly flustered daughter, and said:

"I'll take care of it, you go find your mom and stay with her, she's in the break room in this hall. ”

"Okay. Audrey nodded obediently.

On the way to the common room, she glanced back at her father, and saw that Count Hall was whispering something to a nobleman, his expression quite serious.

Audrey's heart hung in the air again, and she felt that she had to do something to save her father, mother, and brother from being hurt.

Looking around, she changed direction, exited the dining room, entered a hallway, and familiarly found the small prayer room at Duke Negan's house.

She pushed the door in, locked it with her backhand, looked at the symbol of the Lord of the Storm in front of her, and subconsciously found a secluded and dark corner.

Audrey sat down, leaned forward, and clasped her hands together in a prayer position against her forehead.

Then she whispered in Hermes:

"O fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, and you are the king of yellow and black who wields good fortune. ”
