Appearance:

The Valingan family's manor house and Elaine's rented inn were only two streets apart, not too far away, so after only five minutes the carriage stopped in front of a distinctly Gothic building.

"The Valingham family was very fond of this style, which was named 'Gothic' by Russell the Great.

"It is said that the first truly 'Gothic' garment was designed by the young Russell to curry favor with the Countess of Valingham at the time......

"Of course, this is just a rumor, after all, according to the records of our Sauron family, this style actually existed in the Tertiary Age...... Russell the Great just improved it and modernized it. ”

Elaine took Abner's arm and whispered as she handed the invitation to the waiter.

It seems to have been described in the original book that the Giant's Court is a Gothic building......

However, this style should be more compatible with vampires, but Lilith doesn't seem to like it very much...... However, the church of the goddess in Wintershire is a Gothic building.

Abner diverged his mind and walked into the ballroom with Elaine.

Because it was a masquerade ball, everyone theoretically hid their identities from each other, so there was no host to greet them.

Abner and the others entered the main hall only under the guidance of the waiter, and began to move freely.

This is actually a common situation in private balls such as Intis, and as Russell described in his diary, it is more of a place to "socialize", and the host generally does not care about how the guests communicate with each other.

Abner looked around and found that, unlike Rune's custom, the ladies and ladies of Intis were much more open in their dress, and almost every dress showed off most of their shoulders and the whiteness of their chests, showing off their beauty to the fullest.

In particular, one of the ladies with fiery red hair, who was not only proud of her figure, but also attracted the attention of half of the men present by the "opening" on the chest of her dress.

In comparison, Elaine's long dress looks conservative.

Of course, Abner didn't observe her in any way, but sensed something "familiar" in her.

Seeing Abner's gaze drifting farther and farther away, Elaine's eyebrows furrowed under her mask, and she tugged at his sleeve and said, "That woman is the adopted daughter of a rich man, Trier's famous courtesan. ”

"Which rich man?" Abner asked subconsciously.

"What are you asking about this?" Elaine glanced at Abner suspiciously, In her cognition, the "hero detective" is not a womanous person, even a very gentleman, otherwise on the way to Intis, no one else said, that Miss Fanny would have "succeeded" a long time ago.

Abner glanced at the nearby gentlemen who wanted to invite Elaine to dance, but after approaching, they all inexplicably "forgot" their purpose, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Elaine and said:

"Miss, do I have this privilege to invite you to dance?"

Elaine was silent for a few seconds, as if she had guessed that Abner might want to talk about something while she danced, so she put the champagne she had just picked up back on the tray in the waiter's hand, and politely replied:

"It's also my pleasure."

As soon as he stepped onto the dance floor and the music played, Abner took the opportunity to lean into Elaine's ear and said, "That's probably a witch." ”

Abner, who has seen many witches, even if he doesn't open the "pure white eye", can vaguely detect the unique "charming" aura of witches through "breath extraction".

And this one, it's likely to be a high-sequence witch!

"Witch ......" Elaine didn't know what to think, and the dance steps under her feet were a little messy.

Fortunately, Abner adjusted his pace and made up for her mistake in time.

At this time, Elaine came back to her senses, and she looked into Abner's eyes under the mask, and said reminiscingly:

Speaking of which, the lady Margaret claimed that she was originally a country girl, and that she had been adopted as an adopted daughter by the patriarch of the Ithaca family.

"The reason why I have an impression of her is that her hair color was mistaken for the illegitimate daughter of the Sauron family...... It wasn't until the elders of the family verified it themselves and concluded that she had nothing to do with the Sauron family that they refuted the rumors.

"In addition, this lady has been married twice, and the man is a gentleman with good conditions and character...... But neither of her husbands lived long...... So no one wanted to marry her anymore. ”

Ithaca...... I have an impression of this surname, and in one of Russell's journals, it is recorded that the brave Captain Ithaca went to explore the voyage of the "Godforsaken Lands" and never returned...... And just over two months later, the captain's daughter, Miss Ithaca, helped Russell "reminisce" about her youth.

Speaking of which, this diary was transcribed by Elaine before it was handed over to Klein...... It's really fateful!

In the passionate melody, Abner thought and cooperated with Elaine to make all kinds of difficult movements, which made the other guests around him look sideways.

One of the two is tall, the other is slender and tall, although they can't see their faces, their skills and temperament are very compatible, and they look very beautiful.

But their limelight didn't last long, and they were soon stolen attention by the red-haired courtesan Margaret and her dance partner with more exaggerated movements.

Abner didn't care about this, only glanced at the red-haired courtesan again, and thought to himself:

>Iron, Iron

Margaret...... This name has a sense of "Lady of the Camellias"...... Her self-reported origin is even more similar!

The Ithaca family had a close relationship with Russell and was supposed to be liquidated when the Gustav dynasty fell...... But now the family is still rich...... This shows that they either chose to betray or have someone to support them.

In addition, Margaret is likely to be a high-order witch.

In Intis, the organizations that may have mastered the high-order formula of the "Witch" are the "Witch Sect" and the other is Russell's "Men in Black".

So, is this Lady Margaret the "Holy Maiden" of the Witch Sect, or the Sage of the "Man in Black"?

Or, both?

Why would such a character come to the Valingan family's ball?

Oh, if my "party disaster" constitution is fulfilled again, will the "accident" come from her later?

Although Abner had a lot of speculation in his mind, he was not ready to take the initiative to "report", but changed the subject in a light turn:

"Do you want to know how Tracy is doing?"

Of course, in stirring up the topic, he used the "secret shield of Evans" so as not to be heard by others.

Hearing this, Elaine's footsteps were chaotic again, and the whole person crashed into Abner's arms, and it took two seconds to readjust, and asked in disgust:

"Why did you mention her?"

Her feelings for the "Lieutenant General of Disease" are really complicated...... But that's right, after all, in addition to forcibly detaining her, Tracy actually treated her well......

In a twist of thought, Abner responded:

"She is in a very bad state now, not to mention being betrayed by her subordinates, and she has been poisoned by a very troublesome person, and she may get out of control at any time......"

Then, he relayed the message that Mr. "World" had just "sent" to Elaine in detail.

"How could this happen......"

There was some concern in Elaine's bright eyes under the mask, and she was about to continue asking, but the music stopped at this moment.

The first dance is over.

At the same time, Margaret, who was red-haired and red-dressed, and her dance partner entered a lounge under the envious gaze of many men around her.

But as soon as the door was closed, Margaret pushed the other party away, frowned, and said:
