Chapter 173: The Black Saintess
This gentleman, who has a classical sculptural beauty from any angle, is Audrey's eldest brother, the earl's eldest son, Hibbert Hall.
"Welcome, Viscount Berdan." The main purpose of this ball was for Abner, so Hibbert naturally seemed extremely enthusiastic.
"Hopefully not late." Abner replied with a smile, then handed him a bottle of red wine.
In the high-class social arena of Rune, the first time you attend the banquet and dance party held by the other party, you must give the host a small gift, among which the alcohol drink is the most popular, but you must remember that the first time you have to choose the domestic one.
The bottle sent by Abner is actually a peripheral product of the film and television company, which was brewed after the company acquired a small workshop, focusing on the same style of the movie, as well as cool packaging, and the taste is not important.
Hibbert glanced at the red wine in his hand, as a young man, he liked this fashionable look very much, if it wasn't for the ball scene, he wanted to have a good time.
In fact, Abner has patented the shape and is selling it in a limited edition, with each bottle numbered, and although the bottle does not cost much, it will definitely cost a lot to auction.
"Compared to my previous life, those bottles of mineral water that dared to sell more than a thousand bottles were good-looking, and I was nothing." After muttering a sentence in his heart, Abner introduced Hibbert to his two female companions.
As for Hugh and Forthth, the friends of their two sisters, Audrey, Hibbert was no stranger, and after pretending to have met for the first time, he also called a lady with long hair, fair skin, wearing a black veil and a black off-the-shoulder gown, who was his female companion at the ball, Ms. Nancy.
Abner greeted Ms. Nancy quietly on the surface, and stepped forward, bent down and kissed the back of her hand, but there was a huge wave in his heart, because this so-called Ms. Nancy looked exactly like the "Black Saint" in Owen's memory!
- During the period when Owen controlled the "White Saintess" Katarina, he once asked the other party to draw the portraits of the two angels on the surface of the "Witch Sect".
When you go out, you meet the "Witch of Disaster...... Is this called "bad luck"? Abner was tempted to quit immediately, but that would have aroused suspicion.
Although it is said that this is Beckland, and the "Transformation Belt" can also instantly allow him to recover the power of the "Death Archon", which makes Abner not very afraid of the other party's face, but once he makes a move, the power of the angel level will clash, and the people present, including Hugh and Furth, are afraid that no one will survive...... That's what he doesn't want to see.
Of course, as my sequence improves, the world behind the "Pure White Eye" is more and more closely related to reality, and even if it is not opened, it will be difficult to completely conceal the "calamity seal" hidden in it, after all, this is based on the aggregation of "fate", and I am afraid that in the future, I will be more and more frequently linked to the fate of high-ranking witches and hunters.
But no matter how much it is, it won't reach the point where you can meet it everywhere you go...... I've encountered Sequence 2 of "Witch", "Hunter" and "Warrior" in a row for the past two days, and it's still because I'm "unlucky"!
At this time, when other guests arrived, Hibbert confessed, and went to meet him with his attendant and Miss Nancy...... As for things like the acquisition of bicycle shares and the opening of "academy awards", there is no rush to talk about it for a while, and there will be time to talk about it after the ball officially begins.
And the lady Nancy took a special look at Abner before leaving, which contained an inexplicable meaning.
Abner ignored this look completely, and led Furth and Hugh straight into the villa, and then saw the ornate crystal chandeliers, the hall where many people could dance, and the plates of food.
Foie gras, pan-fried keelfish, baked lobster...... Ormere wines, misty champagne...... If these delicacies were in the past, they would definitely make Firth have an appetite, but after following Abner to "play" in various places and eating the delicacies of several countries, she now feels that these things are just like that, just the ingredients are better.
If you really want to talk about deliciousness, you have to be the "family" of Mr. "Fool", who specializes in food.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she saw a young girl in a beige court dress walking slowly.
The girl was blonde and blue-eyed, with unusual beauty, wearing a pair of white silk gloves and a pair of small and beautiful emerald earrings, with a pure and elegant temperament.
This is exactly Audrey, who has just rushed back to Beckland.
Abner saw Miss Justice appear, thought for a moment, and then whispered a few words in Hugh's ear.
Hugh was a little surprised, but nodded solemnly.
Abner then separated from Hugh and Furth, allowing the latter to meet with Audrey, and after greeting each other, they entered the lounge.
Abner himself entered the bathroom and reported the matter of the "Black Maiden" to Mr. "The Fool".
……
In the lounge, Audrey first asked Susie, the golden retriever, to guard at the door, and then looked at Hugh, who was ten centimeters higher and wearing high heels, with a smile, and asked:
"Hugh, long time no see...... You just gave me a look, is there something wrong? ”
Hugh nodded, then sealed the room with spirituality, and then said vaguely, "I have asked that gentleman...... There are some things to talk about there. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the ceiling.
"It turned out to be really you...... I initially thought it was Princess Vera, but then I realized it wasn't right. Audrey had such an expression on her face, and immediately understood what Hugh meant, but she still subconsciously looked at Firth.
As far as she knew, Furth probably didn't know that Hugh was "the trial."
Hugh spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's all at this time, it's not appropriate to hide it from her......
"And she's not really stupid, wait a while for us to have something wrong, can she still guess?"
At this time, Furth looked left and right, and said with a blank face: "What are you talking about?" ”
Hugh didn't bother to explain, but found a comfortable seat on the couch before replying, "You'll know right away." ”
Furth became more and more confused, and asked, "What ......do you know?"
But before she could finish her words, she saw a crimson light suddenly appear and swallow her at once.
By the time her vision regained again, she had already appeared in the ancient hall where she had just visited a few hours ago, and was sitting in her seat as a "magician".
And beside her, the two young ladies of "justice" and "trial" are also sitting impressively.
Although Firth was sometimes too lazy to use her brain, as Hugh said, she was not really stupid, so in an instant she had already figured out the meaning of Hugh's words just now.
"Hugh...... Are you 'judged'?! She asked incredulously, her eyes full of accusations that you were hiding from me.
"Didn't you tell me about the 'magician' before?" Hugh asked rhetorically.
"That's because of me...... Because I...... Well, in short, it's you hiding from me and watching my jokes! You've learned a bad thing from Abner! Furth looked distressed.
Hugh glanced at her and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm having fun...... And I'm not the only one who has fun. ”
"Who else?" Firth asked with a frown.
"What do you think?" Hugh's eyebrows unconsciously curled.
"Could it be ...... Mr. 'Tower'...... It's Abner?! ”
