Su Xian originally thought about whether to form a friendly alliance with the Frederick family to deal with the "clown" - not against the "masquerade", but against the "clown".

But now it seems that the Frederick family has their own plans, and the death of one caretaker will not change the overall course of development.

What they see in their eyes is the bigger picture, not the hatred of a single person.

Dealing with such interest groups always has the taste of seeking the skin of a tiger.

Friendship is not good, trading is king.

……

The "Margaret's Crown" is made up of a large number of pearls, and in the center is an octagonal jewel set in the center, which is a vivid red color.

As Broly said, there is indeed supernatural power in this crown.

Su Xian heard the description of it the moment he touched it, but still touched it from the inside out.

It's cold to the hand, but it feels okay.

"Death is far from the end, and when I reopen my eyes, everything will continue. I am Margaret, a witch born from the ashes, the time that flows from the cracks, an immortal soul, the only agent of the god of ashes on earth......"

Listening to the voice in his ear, fantasizing about the past and the future, his hand rested on the bright red gem, and suddenly felt a trace of warmth, it was the fire of the soul, the immortal soul.

Su Xian was suddenly alert, and subconsciously put down the crown.

Even in an era when gods have fallen, there are still human souls stranded in the world?

"Mark, what did you find?"

Broly asked suddenly.

Su Xian didn't answer immediately, but touched his hand to the jewel of the crown again.

The voice continued.

"Endless slumber will not erase the thoughts from my heart, O Mahal, when I wake up again, that is, when you return to me again."

……

"Mark."

Lily also walked over with concern.

The four of them gathered around the table, all staring at Margaret's crown.

The slight glow of the fire in the ruby made three generations of Frederick's family hold their breath.

But the light didn't last long, and then it suddenly went out.

Their gaze turned to Su Xian.

Su Xian pondered for a moment, and finally opened his mouth: "This is Margaret's crown." ”

Isn't this nonsense?

But no one interrupted at this point.

Another half minute of thinking.

Su Xian continued, "Her husband's item is needed to activate. ”

Anything more precise, an item that retains the scent of Mahal.

Like the heart of the Muppet!

His fingers were able to make the gem react because he had used "Margaret's Puppet" before, which had tainted Mahal's heart.

……

"Ancestral items?" Lily asked, "Do those clothes work?" ”

Su Xian shook his head slightly: "The breath of mortal things can't be retained for too long, it's best to be extraordinary, or ......"

Broly asked, "Or what?" ”

Su Xian said: "Or the remains." ”

It seemed a bit difficult to ask, and Broly and Braun looked at each other and seemed difficult to decide.

Lily pondered for a moment, and then proposed, "Will it be useful for us to bring this crown to the graves of our ancestors?" ”

At this time, Braun sighed and said, "Let's try it then." If only the items of Mahar's ancestors can be activated, there will always be a way. ”

Broly also turned his head to Su Xian and said, "Thank you very much, I will write you the time and address of the next masquerade in a while." ”

It seems that he has already investigated the information.

This is basically equivalent to buying and selling without capital.

But that's fine.

To each according to his needs.

But since it is a legitimate transaction, it is natural to ensure that the value is equal.

So Su Xian didn't say the specific information about Margaret that he heard.

I just don't know what kind of impact this "Margaret's Crown" will have on the Frederick family?

Looking forward to it.

……

Time passed quickly, and both Broly and Braun seemed to be eager to try and activate "Margaret's Crown", so after writing down the time and address of the next masquerade ball, they hurried out of the reception room with the crown.

But what will they use to activate it?

……

Only Su Xian and Lily were left in the reception room.

Lily looked apologetic: "Mark, if you need anything else......"

Su Xian took the paper with the information written on it and raised three fingers: "Three times, I need at least three more times for the time and address of the next masquerade ball." ”

Lily thought for a moment and nodded sharply: "No problem, I'll deliver it to your store." ”

Su Xian folded it up and put it away: "Okay, I think you'd better go to your father and grandfather now, extraordinary items are not something that anyone can control." ”

"This ...... That's right. Lily hurriedly said, "Well, goodbye." I'll ask the butler to take you back. ”

With that, she called Sage in, and hurried away.

Su Xian looked at her back, only shook his head slightly, and left here with Segis.

Go out, get in the carriage, and go back to the store.

After seeing Segis leave, Su Xian entered the secret room, opened the note, and copied the information in it.

It was the evening of July 28th, a crazy Sunday.

The address is the port of the southern district, and there will be a cruise ship docked at one of the ports, and you can board the ship as long as you hand in the invitation letter.

As for how to get an invitation letter, there are naturally ways to do it.

Nothing else.

"Without the cooperation of the Frederick family, I needed a helper."

It is too dangerous to go into a meeting that is completely unknown, and that there is bound to be a transcendent being.

After thinking about it carefully, Su Xian decided to seek Professor Barker's help.

Professor Barker, while not entirely trustworthy, was his only option.

"It's Tuesday, and he's in the academy, but the academy isn't really a good place to talk, wait for the evening."

After muttering a sentence, Su Xian began to write down some dangerous situations that he might encounter on scratch paper, and thought about how to deal with them in advance.

This masquerade is a banquet at sea, and without knowing where the cruise ship will go, it is tentatively expected to stay above the sea.

When the time comes, in the event of an accident, it is quite possible that it will be necessary to dive into the sea.

If it's a battle at sea......

"It just so happens that my main battlefield is a little ugly."

As for the question of cross-dressing, you can merge it with the question of the invitation, and there will naturally be enthusiastic friends to provide props at that time.

Also, there is still some time before the masquerade, and if possible, it's best to find a way to improve your strength during this time.

Be prepared.
