- It's going to be on the shelves in the early morning, are you ready?

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

Lucien looked out the car window at the darkening streets, listening to Victor, Rhine, and Lott casually exchanging views of the manor for the season.

"Lucian, why don't you speak? Don't you dare to take an interest in Phyllis's own 'Bern' wine?" asked Rhine, noticing Lucien who was quietly sitting by the carriage window.

Phyllis's "Bern" estate contains a very good vineyard, most of which is harvested for winemaking. After many years of cellaring and selection, the wines of the "Berne" estate have become very famous in Aalto, and they are considered to be second-class wines, which can only be tasted by invitations to balls and banquets at the Phyllis family.

Lucien found an excuse to cover up: "Mr. Rhine, in fact, I'm worried about the ball later, I don't know anything about dancing, it's embarrassing." ”

"Do you need me to teach you, even though you're not a beautiful lady. Rhine teasingly said to Lucien, "Or you can think of me as a beautiful lady." ”

Seeing Lucian's embarrassed appearance with nothing to say, Victor smiled and told him: "Your situation, all of us know it, no one will deliberately ask you to dance, of course, if Lucien wants to learn, I think the beautiful ladies will be happy to teach." ”

In this relaxed and casual atmosphere, Lucian's mood gradually calmed down, all the preparations have been made, and then it is time to implement the specific things, and no matter how worried or nervous he is now, it will not help.

The carriage went out of the city gates, crossed the Belém River, and headed for the manor house between the northern edge of the Melze Black Forest and the river.

Because of the patterned rock quarry, the Phyllis family's manor was very wealthy, and the main house was built with pale golden patterned rock, which was luxurious.

Phyllis waited at the door of the main house with two rows of servants in a fiery evening gown, two rows of six bronze lampholders burning with bright yellow flames, driving away the night of seven o'clock.

"Hello Mr. Victor, Mr. Rhein, Lucien, Lot. Seeing the carriage stop, Phyllis greeted her with her butler, whose father, Uerban, and mother, had remained in Aalto, as it was her ball.

Every aristocratic lady must exercise the ability to independently preside over balls and banquets.

"You're so beautiful tonight, Phyllis. Victor hugged Phyllis and praised with an elder's smile.

The flaming evening dress with her long red hair, ruby eyes, and fair skin did make Phyllis much more beautiful than usual.

Phyllis thanked the other guests as she invited not only her classmates, but also her noble friends.

After greeting Phyllis with a kiss, Lucien, dressed in a black suit, walked into the main hall of the house.

The ground is gorgeous and heavy with teal patterned rocks, and the hall has five living rooms and dining rooms of Lucien Garden Villa, which can accommodate hundreds of people for a party.

A long table was set up in a corner of the hall, and in addition to many glasses of blood-red wine, there were refreshing salads, fruit pies, jellies and other hors d'oeuvres, roast meats, diced meats, sausages, noodles, fat goose, steers, grapes, white bread and other staples, fruits, and other things that the odd Lucien did not recognize.

The invited band played beautiful music in the other corner, making the whole dance look soothing and elegant.

When Lucien came in, he went to the table and took a plate with roast meat, fat goose, sausages, white bread, and salad, and ate quietly in the corner, while waiting for Phyllis to announce the start of the ball.

The candlelight dimmed, the music changed, and one by one the gentlemen invited the ladies into the center of the hall to perform the "circle dance" that had been handed down from the Trian court, which was rebuked by the old-fashioned old aristocrats as an erotic dance of close bodies and entwined limbs, but the more the old fellows commented, the more enthusiastic the young people, and indeed most of the ladies, became.

"Are you here for a banquet and not a ball, Lucien?" After Phyllis and her teacher Victor danced the opening dance, they searched for Lucien and finally found him in the corner, and by this time, Lucian's full plate of food was almost finished, which made Phyllis cry and laugh.

After activating the blood veins, Lucien's appetite increased, and there were still difficult things waiting for him at night.

Putting down the plate, Lucien spread his hands, "I don't dance in circles, Phyllis." ”

"Do you want me to teach you, or Mr. Rhein, or Yvette?" Phyllis apparently knew from Victor what Rhein had teased Lucian, and Yvette was dancing happily with a noble man, perhaps sensing Phyllis's gaze, she turned her head to look, and then smiled and winked at Lucian.

Phyllis turned around and said sincerely: "Lucien, if you want to integrate into high society and deal with the nobility, music, dancing and hunting are indispensable, okay, I'll teach you." ”

"Actually, I prefer to work quietly. Lucien was reluctant to behave in a pinch, so he had to follow the example of the other men and make an inviting gesture to Phyllis.

Phyllis held out her hand in satisfaction: "Didn't you do a good job? Don't worry about the ridicule of others, it's always like this the first time." ”

With one hand around Phyllis's waist and the other on her shoulder, Lucien listened to her instructions and began to practice the dance.

After a few minutes, Phyllis looked at Lucien in surprise: "Lucian, have you ever learned to dance in circles before? ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess taught me a little. "The reason why Lucien learns so quickly is because of his super coordination and agility, and there is no way to tell Phyllis about this kind of thing, so he can only use Natasha, who knows the Tao, as a shield.

Phyllis suddenly said: "So that's the case, Her Royal Highness the princess is a great knight, and if she teaches you, the effect will definitely be very good." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed: "Her Royal Highness is half a head taller than you, and she is a fifth-level powerhouse, when she dances with you, who is the lady, Lucien?"

She had obviously heard a little rumor, after all, Natasha herself made no secret of it.

"......" Lucien didn't know what to say, and then his heart moved, pretending to slip his foot, and cried out in pain in a low voice.

Phyllis asked with concern, "Lucien, do you have a twisted foot, do you need to find a doctor?"

"It's nothing, just take a break, can you find someone to take me to my room?" Lucien shook his head to indicate that it was not serious.

Phyllis was relieved and summoned a waiter to help Lucien to the guest room on the third floor of the main house.

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

The rooms were clean and tidy, and the velvet quilts were soft and warm.

Lucien sat on the edge of the bed and watched the waiter close the door, then took out the letter paper and wrote on it with a quill pen:

"Haven't the 'Vision Orbs' been delivered yet?"

It was nearly eight o'clock and it was completely dark.

It took a full ten minutes for a black line to appear on the envelope: "Open the window." ”

Lucien quickly opened the window, and with the light music in the hall as the background, a small black ball flew in and landed directly on Lucian's hand

Instead of crushing it, Lucien saw a vague vision through the billowing black smoke inside the "Ball of Vision".

It's still the cabin.

This made Lucien quietly relieved, the other party has not yet transferred, but he has to hurry, and the successive requests for the "Sight Ball" are likely to arouse the other party's vigilance.

Putting away the "Vision Ball", Lucien whispered into the letterhead, "I'll be in charge of pacifying John when I go back tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Evans. "The letter was cold and black.

Lucien folded the letterhead, stuffed it into an envelope, and put it inside a black coat, then took off his coat and hung it on a coat rack.

Because of the knowledge that Lucien twisted his foot, Victor and others came to visit him one after another, even including the aristocratic young people that Lucian knew and did not know, among which Yvette seemed to be a little disappointed, probably she had planned to come to Lucian in the middle of the night to "discuss life", but the other party had become a "wounded".

It wasn't until half-past nine that Lucien was completely quiet here, and then he locked the door, blew out the candles, and lay down on the bed, and the whole room was dark.

In the darkness, Lucien suddenly stood up, walked to the table, poured a cup of hot water, and at the same time let a "drop of Camille's blood" hidden in his palm fall into the hot water.

The water waves beat slightly, and Camille's voice sounded directly in Lucian's ears: "Is there a clue, Lucian?"

Whether it was a letter paper or a cult sacrifice, there was no reaction to this.

Lucien muttered a few meaningless words to himself in the agreed secret language, and then pretended to miss and dropped the cup to the ground, shattering it.

And the secret word means: "Near the forest southeast of the Black Forest of Melzer, near the remnants of the peak of 'Lupeko'." ”

It encompasses a wide range of things, but it is more reflective of the truth of Lucian's clues.

This location, which is not a short distance from the chalet and the Masol River, are two completely different places, and Camille will not be able to search for a long time if he searches carefully.

Cursing in a low voice and cleaning up the broken glass, Lucien lay back on the bed, and at the same time took out the two "Camille blood droplets" from his pants pocket and placed them in the bed.

The dance continued, setting off the silence of the rest of the estate, with the occasional dog barking.

As the silver moon rose, the light shone into the room, shedding a silver glow, and in the silver glow, the afterimage of the velvet quilt writhed invisibly a few times, and then evaded the surveillance of the envelope, and ran out of the unclosed window.

If there is no Silver Moon tonight and it is very dark, Lucien will look for other ways to evade surveillance.

Out of the window, Lucien did not go down, but climbed to the top of the building in the moonlight, hiding in the darkness.

Perhaps because of the reassurance of the stationery monitoring Lucian, the cult priest was hiding far behind a large tree outside the manor, and did not pay attention to this side at all, in his mind, Lucien did not have any supernatural powers.

From the other side of the main house, Lucien climbed over the wall of the manor, entered the woods, took off his shoes and clothes and hid them, changed into a hooded black robe that was close to his body, and ran towards the "Larnaca Gorge" in the southeast direction.
