Late at night, in front of a villa in the St. George district of Beckland.

Talim, who had been nearby for a long time, looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already the appointed time, so he mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell of the house without a trace of light.

Speaking of which, why did Ms. Rina live in such a gloomy place? We had to meet in the middle of the night...... Could it be that she is a witch or banshee that often appears in those horror stories?

I should have hired Sherlock......

No, no, if something really scary came along, hiring Sherlock would have hurt him......

Talim, who was blown cold by the night wind, became frightened and couldn't stop thinking about it in his head.

At this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a young man dressed in neutral clothes walked out with a lamp, and after carefully identifying Talim's appearance, he said politely: "Mr. Dumont, please come with me, Ms. Lina is waiting for you in the living room." ”

Talim's full name is Talim Dumont, who was originally a noble son with the title of viscount on his ancestors, but unfortunately, his family property was squandered by his grandfather.

Talim looked at the other party for a long time, but couldn't tell whether it was a gentleman or a lady in front of him, so he had to say vaguely: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"You're welcome." The young man replied softly, and led the prince's friend into the villa.

To Talim's surprise, the villa, which looked pitch black outside, was brightly lit, so that his eyes didn't have time to get used to it, and he couldn't help but put his hand on his eyebrows.

After following the young man all the way to the living room, Talim saw at a glance the old friend of His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Lina.

I have to say that Miss Lina's temperament is actually somewhat similar to the young lady that His Royal Highness the Prince is currently obsessed with, they are all so quiet, elegant, and equally beautiful......

Unfortunately, none of them could have become the prince's wife!

After a secret sigh, Talim took the initiative to say hello to Lina.

After Lina got up and returned the salute, she didn't say any more greetings, and went straight to the point:

"Edsak, has something for you to bring to me, right?

"Hehe, I guess it's not going to be good news...... Is he going to break up with me? ”

This...... Miss, since you are so intelligent, and you don't seem to be blinded by love, why do you bother with it? Talim was puzzled, but on the surface he gritted his teeth, and did not mention the prince's heartless words, but tactfully admonished:

"Ms. Lina...... I think you should be aware that the spouse of His Royal Highness the Prince can only be a noble lady...... For example, the daughter of Earl Hall......"

Before he could finish his words, Lina directly interrupted, "I didn't mean to be his wife...... My goal was to keep the 'witch' from approaching Edsak. ”

Witch? How could that thoughtful, kind, genteel, and beautiful girl be a witch? Speaking of which, you'd be more like a witch when you meet me in the middle of the night—if this were a gloomy castle rather than a bright villa.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Talim shook his head and said, "But that young lady has accepted my suggestion and is willing to leave His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Leave? She did want to...... It's a pity that she can't help herself! Lina sighed helplessly and said, "Do you know why I'm talking to you at this time? ”

Talim, who was misty by these words, subconsciously said, "Why? ”

"Because it is only in the middle of the night that I can temporarily escape the 'fate' of being manipulated with the help of an object...... But it doesn't always work......" Lina explained meaningfully.

"Manipulating" fate? What kind of mess is this? Talim felt that something might be wrong with Ms. Lina's spirit, and he couldn't help but worry.

"You won't understand this when I tell you...... In short, you just have to do your best to help the thoughtful, kind, urbane, and beautiful girl you call when you go back...... Maybe she has the ability to break this 'fate'. After Lina finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and motioned to the young man on the side to see off the guests.

The young man was a little confused at first, then a spirit, answered yes, and then took Talim, who was still confused, out.

After no one was in the living room, Lina waited for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.

……

Above the gray fog, with the help of the young man "Shawko's" vision, Klein, who watched the whole conversation, frowned deeply.

"What the hell does this Lina mean? If she has the means to block '0-08', why did she call Talim and tell him out of her way? Is it effective to test that method?

"That's not right...... There's a risk of leaks! After all, if the prince is the center of the scheme, Talim should be the one to focus on in Ince...... Even if there is a shield when he is in the villa, once he leaves there, there is a high probability that he will be known by '0-08'.

"Unless, she's deliberately revealing information to '0-08'! This...... Perhaps this is a 'strategic fraud'?

"She should indeed have the means to resist the '0-08' arrangement, but it probably doesn't have to be in the villa, not in the middle of the night, and not in the middle of the night, and there is no probability of resisting...... It's just fake news that she deliberately revealed!

"But since I'm going to doubt it, wouldn't Ince have an idea?

"Hmm...... There is an important issue that I may have overlooked before...... That is, although Ince Zangwill is in charge of '0-08', the seal must have terrible side effects, it does not necessarily show all the information to the 'master', especially when the 'master' is not around!

“…… Perhaps, Lina chose to be late at night because she had been tempted before and discovered some pattern, so she would carry out 'fraud' at this point in time, hoping that the seal could cooperate with her?

"She knows 0-08 better than I do...... If it's really '0-08' behind the scenes......

"Who told her? The old man who gave her the 'Fallen Morning Star'? Who is he? ”

Crane, who had been thinking for a long time and had no clue, reluctantly paused his thinking and said to himself:

"Maybe the 'Iron Man' who also has a grudge against Ince knows something......

"Well, although Mr. 'Tower' is a very principled person, he is reluctant to reveal the identity of 'Iron Man'...... But can I ask him to do it for me......

"I'll talk to him alone the next time I meet with Tarot...... As for the pay, I have exactly the 'judge' trait that Miss Judge needs! I think with the intimacy of those two, Mr. 'Tower' will certainly not mind exchanging for Miss 'Judgment'. ”

……

Byam.

Busy days always fly by, and it seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and the time is on Sunday.

On this morning, Abner had just turned the "werewolf" trait commissioned by Jane into an extraordinary object, and a glittering fire lit up above the teleportation altar in the basement, and immediately after, the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina appeared in front of his eyes.

"The Golden Dream has arrived in the waters near the city of Gullayin in East Bailang."
