In response to the siren's question, Harvey replied sincerely and with urgency: "Passing spellcaster." ”

"A passing spellcaster?" Grace didn't feel that the joke was funny at all, and it made her feel a little more relaxed, at least she could be sure that the human in front of her had no ill will towards her, and the moment of lax consciousness came naturally, instinctively seeing Harvey as the superior, and at the same time the oppression exerted on her disappeared without a trace.

Grace's body slowly returned to its original state, and the remaining strength was not enough to support her to stand up, so she could only look at Harvey with strange eyes.

Born of the siren's instinct, even if Harvey ordered her to kill herself now, she would definitely not hesitate to carry out this order.

"Can you stand up?"

Grace replied respectfully, "Yes, if you need it." ”

Harvey's words seemed to have a strange power, and the powerlessness in Grace's body disappeared in an instant, and she stood up and bowed humbly to Harvey: "My lord, I am Grace Nolan from the Nolan family on Nolan Island, the princess of the Sirens, may I ask your lordship, who are you?" ”

"Sirens? I don't have much to do with you, but I've dealt with the Kraken. ”

Grace bit her thin lip and hesitated, "Kraken, is it?" But... No, I feel the breath of an ancient siren high priest in you, and this is not something that a kraken can have. ”

"That's what you're talking about?" Harvey took out the altered bracelet, one of the gifts given to him by the Bleak Abyss, which had the magical power to calm the mind and was great for meditation.

Seeing the bracelet inlaid with azure gemstones in Harvey's hand, Grace finally understood the source of the oppressive force, and looked at the azure sapphire that seemed to be able to suck her soul into it, and exclaimed, "Heart of the Ocean!?" ”

Heart of the Ocean, the jewelry worn by the High Priestess of the Siren civilization, as proof of service to the god of the deep sea, why does such a thing appear on the body of humans? The most incredible thing is that Heart of the Ocean actually plays its role, identifying with Harvey as his master. The so-called Heart of the Ocean is actually nothing more than a strange gem that has been "blessed" by the Bleak Abyss, which is really nothing compared to the Abyss Egg that the Bleak Abyss once gave to Harvey.

"Is it worth all the fuss?" Harvey couldn't help but laugh at her Peking Opera-like face change.

"Of course it's worth it, but this is the heart of the ocean that is still blessed, why did it fall into your hands? You... Are you really human? Grace was thrilled, wanting to be humble because of the presence of Heart of the Ocean.

"You say you say sirens, what's the difference between them and the Kraken?" Harvey rubbed his chin and asked, a little curious.

"Yes, although we are the continuation of the ancient sirens with the Kraken, if we need a metaphor, one is a monkey and the other is a human." Speaking of the Siren, Grace's eyes flashed with disdain

"I got this thing from a god that the Kraken worshipped."

"Do you mean the god of the deep?"

Harvey shrugged: "It calls itself the Bleak Abyss. ”

Grace was first excited and confused, lowered her head and muttered, "How is it possible... How is it possible, why would the god of the deep establish a connection with a human being, when it is clear that we have not succeeded in calling the god of the deep sea for so many generations? ”

Facts speak louder than words, and the fact that Heart of the Ocean is still at work proves that what Harvey said is true or false.

Grace suddenly looked up at Harvey and pleaded, "My lord, can I take up a little of your time?" ”

"No, I'm going to go in." Harvey gestured to the side of the mansion.

Grace bent down and pleaded: "This is very important to our sirens, about the future of our siren race, as long as you are willing to help, our sirens are willing to pay any price, as long as it is your command, we will do whatever it takes." ”

"You can't disobey my orders in the first place." Harvey raised the Heart of the Ocean bracelet in his hand, and Grace was almost about to cry in front of him, and her shoulders shook from time to time.

"Forget it, you come in with me."

Grace looked up in surprise and burst into tears.

"Speaking of which, your shoes and underwear..."

Harvey glanced at Grace with strange eyes, his shoes and underwear were torn when he was fished just now, and it was impossible to enter the inner hall.

"Please don't worry." Grace reached into the void and took out a new set of clothes and put them on generously in front of Harvey.

······

Harvey and Grace both walked into the inner hall with their hands in hand, and immediately attracted the attention of all the guests when they stepped into the door, Grace, who was wearing an evening dress, looked more noble and elegant, and the indifference on her face melted a lot, on the other hand, Harvey, who was holding her arm, was much more low-key, quite a feeling of flowers with green leaves.

Grace only caught the attention of the guests at that moment, and when the guests' eyes followed Grace to Harvey, their faces changed in unison, and more than half of the aristocratic businessmen who recognized Harvey's identity rushed over to greet Harvey.

"Mr. Adrian, I didn't expect you to be present at this dinner."

"Mr. Adrian, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I salute you on behalf of the Avalon Chamber of Commerce."

"Mr. Adrian, may I have the pleasure of inviting you for a moment?"

······

Grace, who was holding Harvey's arm, couldn't help but exert herself, at first she thought that these people were coming towards her, until they said Harvey's name, her small mouth opened slightly to reveal an incredible look, of course, she quickly restrained her expression and obediently played the role of a vase.

Harvey greeted each other with a humble and polite smile and came to William's side.

William looked at Grace with strange eyes, "Harvey, who is she?" ”

"Passers-by, just bring them in."

"Oh, yes, it has nothing to do with me anyway, if Diana knows..." William looked Harvey's body up and down: "Do you want me to customize a soft armor for you, it can probably block Diana's sword attack, Diana has practiced sword skills, and it is difficult for even a spellcaster to dodge if she suddenly strikes." ”

Harvey smiled bitterly: "She's really just a passerby, but I'm prepared for that." ”

William handed Harvey a glass of champagne and said with a smile: "Just kidding, Diana is not such an unkind type, your words, having one or two lovers is not a big deal, but it is better not to bring it to Diana, otherwise she will really be angry, not to lift the sword, but it is estimated that there will be a long time to snub you." ”

"I know, I don't want her to be sad, but is there anyone else besides you?" Harvey looked back and forth into the inner hall of the banquet, looking for familiar faces.

William was also looking at the guests in the inner hall, shook his head and said: "No, only Count Henrietta and I, after all, it is a dinner for businessmen, the goal of this dinner is to set up a temporary business association centered on the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, to promote phantom technology or something, in short, it is not something that interests you, but you can attend, the purpose of this banquet has basically been achieved, and Count Henrietta knows that you are not interested and invites you is probably the same reason." ”

"I didn't plan to attend, but I just thought of discussing the promotion of "The Redemption of Pokhara", thinking that you and the Earl should be here at this time, and you don't need to come over after an appointment."

"Then wait until the meeting is over, about ten o'clock, do you want to stay and socialize with me for a while? By the way, your Phantom Promotion, there must be quite a few people in it who are happy to serve you. ”

Harvey took a sip of champagne and shook his head: "But I will also have something to do with them, I try not to do this, once the social balance is tilted, the trouble is endless." ”

The corners of William's mouth pulled a chuckle: "Who gave you that special identity, thanks to you, the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce has been treated by the Royal Chamber of Commerce during this time, and I am personally quite happy." ”

Harvey returned the champagne to William and took Grace's arm and went upstairs, "I'll go up and rest, call me when the meeting is over." ”

William kindly reminded: "Harvey, you'd better think of a reason to explain your female companion, although Diana doesn't like to socialize, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything about the social world." You bring a strange woman to a banquet and don't bring her, and the newspapers don't dare to report about you at will, but it inevitably becomes the lace news of the social world. ”

Harvey waved his hand and went up to the private room on the second floor with Grace.

Entering the private room, Grace, who had not spoken, couldn't help but ask, "My lord, do you know Mr. Cromwell?" ”

What happened this night was a pleasant surprise, not to mention the encounter with Harvey, a human who might solve the problems of the Sirens from ancient times to the present, if Harvey and the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce hooked up, the current predicament of Nolan Island could be easily solved.

"Huh?"

Harvey, who was sitting on the sofa, looked ridiculous, why did she know William but really didn't know herself.

It's no wonder that Grace, the Nolan family established the Chamber of Commerce with the Chamber of Commerce as the starting point, but the Nolan family is not a behemoth, and the investigation of the Chamber of Commerce of other countries stays at most in the popularity of the Chamber of Commerce and its person in charge, as for the history of the Chamber of Commerce and what forces are involved, it will definitely not be investigated.

"I thought my name was pretty well-known." Harvey didn't answer, looked at Grace and said, "Continuing with the topic just now, what do you have to say to me?" ”

"Yes."

Grace didn't dare to rub in, and sat on the side to explain the siren's situation.

Nolan Island is a siren settlement, which is no secret among spellcasters, and on the other hand, the island's inhabitants are quite xenophobic and unwilling to have anything to do with humans other than trading.

The ancient siren civilization was a social system centered on faith, but it was the high priest at that time who led some of the sirens out of the belief system. Some of the sirens who broke away from the faith chose to go ashore and evolved into other races, including the elves and the origin of humans, and there is a claim that the sirens are the ancestors of mankind.

To this day, the only one that retains the name of the sirens is Nolan Island, and the Nolan family claims to have the blood of the high priest, but because it is too old, the correctness of this statement cannot be verified.

The Sirens do not want to return to the society of faith, but they are extremely eager for the glory days of the ancient Sirens, and the recent decline of Nolan Island has directly led to the panic of Nolan Island, and the social system that has lasted for thousands of years is once again facing the threat of collapse.

The last time they faced the same crisis was a thousand years ago, when the sirens who did not want to live in a permanent place left the group on their own, triggering a series of social collapses. The Nolan family stabilized the Siren society by settling on Nolan Island, and this time they planned to trade with the Human Chamber of Commerce in exchange for a short period of material stability, and after meeting Harvey, Grace's mind changed a lot.

If Harvey is willing to help her, it will fundamentally solve the crisis of the collapse of Siren civilization.

"I know everything in general." After listening to Grace's explanation, Harvey rubbed his forehead to indicate that he had listened.

"Would you like to help us?" Grace was pleasantly surprised.

"Do you sirens sing?"

"Of course, it's one of our proud talents, and our singing is enough to cross races to touch the heart of any creature." Grace lifted her chin proudly.

"Good."

Harvey patted her on the shoulder solemnly: "That's it, in order to save the declining siren civilization, become an idol!" ”

"Idols?"

······

At the end of the dinner, Harvey went back with William and Count Henrietta to discuss the promotion of "The Redemption of Pokhara", and agreed with William to continue the discussion about the sirens tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, a carriage stopped in front of the manor, and Harvey got down first, politely helping Grace out of the carriage, the skirt of the dress was quite inconvenient to move.

As soon as the two entered the gate, a petite figure burst out, and Joan of Arc, who looked less than ten years old, stood in front of Harvey angrily, blocking the way, she slowly raised her hands and shouted, "The Holy Light will sanction you!" ”

A beam of light converged, slowly sinking into Harvey's body, warm and very comfortable, and there was no special effect in addition.

The corners of Harvey's mouth twitched, it must be Lilian Naniko who took Joan of Arc to play "Dark Legends" together, Harvey was expressionless, came to Joan of Arc, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she made a vigilant boxing posture, and hit Harvey in the stomach with a pink punch.

Weak, painless, not itchy.

Harvey lifted her collar and lifted her entire petite body into the air.

"Put me down! Harvey, let me down! ”

"If you don't let me down, I'm going to burn you! I'm serious! ”

Harvey ignored her, took her by the collar and led Grace into the mansion, and before the entrance, her legs fixed Jeanne d'Arc's shoes, pulling her whole person out of the pair of shoes, Joan of Arc looked at Grace pitifully, expecting a stranger to rescue her.

Grace was looked at by pitiful eyes, looked at Harvey's back, didn't dare to do anything, and smiled apologetically.

Poor Joan of Arc was hung on a hanger at the back of the door by Harvey to reflect.

In the hall, Diana was sitting on the sofa, she was wearing a conservative white pajamas and was flipping through a hardcover, and when she saw Harvey bringing back a beautiful and moving woman, her heroic sword eyebrows moved slightly, and she stood up and asked softly, "Harvey, who is this young lady?" ”

Diana and Harvey have been married for more than a year, and the edges and corners of their bodies have long been smoothed, the previous arrogance has been transformed into the current noble elegance, blonde hair shawl, and you can still feel an unyielding arrogance from those eyes, not domineering, but a kind of confidence in your own ability.

Now Diana often helps Harvey with the tasks of the Queen's Counsellor, either nominally or in fact Victoria's court classroom.

"I met Count Henrietta at the banquet of Lily's kind." Harvey casually explained and asked, "Did Lily go to bed early?" ”

Kin? Grace remembered the song she had listened to at the hotel, could it be that the ancient siren lived here?

Diana pulled the strands of hair from her cheeks: "Well, I slept with Shirley." ”

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow." Harvey turned to Grace and asked, "Do you want to sleep in the guest room or in the water?" There's a pool in the backyard that's made for the Kraken and should suit you too. ”

Grace's face moved, and she bowed: "My lord, don't bother, just arrange for me to go to the guest room to rest." ”
