"I'm Duke Negan, and I'm sure you're all familiar with it."

This opening sentence, many unknown guests listened to it, and couldn't help but be a little confused, thinking:

"I accepted your invitation, I'm attending your ball, I still don't know who you are!"

Mr. Duke's unusual behavior made many people a little puzzled and even uneasy, but no one spoke out to question, because Duke Negan's face was unusually gloomy, and his eagle-like eyes scanned the men and women in the audience who were looking at each other.

Suddenly, his expression suddenly became calm, and he spoke:

"Just now, I had a word with two very good young ladies."

"Since His Majesty the King, countless nobles and soldiers have exchanged their blood and lives for the stability and strength of the Kingdom of Rune today, and it is precisely because of this that we can enjoy such a grand and harmonious ball today."

Just when many of the guests thought that they were about to receive a patriotic education, Duke Negan changed his calm attitude and said sharply:

"However, there are always some ill-intentioned people who are bent on destroying the hard-won happy life now!"

When everyone heard this, they were silent, and the wine glass in their hands was slightly clenched, not knowing what would happen, so they had to look intently at the angry statement of Monsieur Duke:

"I have worked hard for this king for decades, and now that I am older, my personality has gradually converged and become mild, but some people see this mildness as weakness."

"The other day, it was the same ball, and I was assassinated."

Most of the guests in the audience knew about it, but of course a few people didn't know, so the voices became a little noisy.

Soon, however, Duke Negan's speech quickly silenced the murmur:

"The assassin was Zielingers, one of the 'Pirate Generals', and it is clear that he failed, and was finally killed by His Excellency the 'Singer of the Gods'."

"It's a pity that he died too quickly, and I couldn't figure out who was behind it."

"But," said Duke Negan in a sudden aggravated tone, turning around, "I know that the matter is not over yet, and that the real enemy hidden in the shadows is still waiting for an opportunity. ”

He looked around, and his sharp eyes fell on the faces of many of the guests, and also flashed over Louise and Audrey, and said:

"Recently, I have received accurate information that a second group of men has come to Beckland with the same purpose as Ziringes."

"So, I threw tonight's ball."

What does this mean, to lure the snake out of the hole? Wouldn't this ball be dangerous...... Everyone present was not stupid, and they thought of this quickly or slowly, and looked at the people around them at a loss, and finally their eyes were on Duke Negan on the high platform.

Monsieur Duke did not mean to explain, but on the contrary, his gaze was fixed on an inconspicuous male guest in the crowd, and he immediately shouted:

"Do it!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man who was staring at Duke Negan suddenly burst out, and the wine glass in his hand was crumpled into countless glass shards by him, and flew towards the other guests who were close by.

However, these shards of glass miraculously pierced the bodies of the people around them, causing no damage, as if they were just air.

…………

Just as the man was in a frenzy, Miss Audrey almost exclaimed, and was about to loudly warn the people around her to avoid it, but suddenly felt Louise grasp her hand with great force.

This was an obvious warning, and with the tacit understanding between the two, Miss "Justice" silently withdrew the words she was about to blurt out, and stood motionless as if she had not seen anything.

Louise was a bit taller after all, and just now, she was keenly aware that a hidden spiritual fluctuation quickly spread, enveloping the entire hall of the ball.

It should be the ability of the "seal", which can isolate the extraordinary battlefield from the world of ordinary people, but it does not contain the extraordinary...... Almost instantly, Louise judged the effect of the spiritual fluctuations, and she secretly prevented Miss "Justice" from being exposed.

Louise was actually a little glad at this time, when she listened to Duke Negan's confession, she almost thought that the latter had already recognized her identity, but fortunately, Mr. Duke's real target was someone else.

In this regard, Louise said that she was very happy to watch, she did not have the habit of being a bird, so she simply pretended to be an ordinary person affected by the ability of "seals", and quietly watched the battle taking place in the corner of the hall.

Inadvertently, she glanced at Dean Russell, whom she had just met, and the "old urchin" old gentleman was holding an exaggerated posture and not moving, but he suddenly winked mischievously at Louise.

He is extraordinary...... Louise was instantly sure of this, but she didn't give any response, pretending not to see anything, and her thoughts spread quickly.

According to Audrey, this Abbot Russell believes in the "God of Steam and Machines", and now that he has confessed his identity as an extraordinary person, is he a member of the "Steam Church"?

Before Duke Negan's attack, was his encounter with Dean Russell just a coincidence?

Thinking about it, Louise recalled a few details, as a veteran of Sequence 6, she had almost collided with Dean Russell just now...... She originally thought that the reason was that she was a little absent-minded at the time and didn't notice the footsteps behind her, but now it seems that the coincidence just now seemed to be intentional by the Dean Russell.

What does he want to do?

…………

While Louise's thoughts were racing, the battle in the ball hall was drawing to a close.

In fact, it was an unfair battle.

There is only one enemy, but there are "a group" of extraordinary people who try to capture him, because this is a trap carefully prepared by the Duke Negan, who has absolute power.

He even held a ball for this purpose, which was dedicated to providing the perfect time to help these enemies blend in with him.

At the same time, the strange male extraordinaire was naturally aware of the current danger.

After finding himself isolated from the world around him by an inexplicable force, the most effective opportunity to escape from the chaos has been lost, leaving him with only one option, to break out of here.

In the next second, the discovered strange extraordinary person exploded, and a brilliant flame spread out in all directions, and the figure in the center of the flame had long since disappeared.

"Stealth is forbidden here." A voice full of majesty sounded, and the surging spiritual fluctuations spread throughout the hall.

At the edge of the hall, in an open space near the gate, there was the fleeing figure of the male extraordinary man just now, and when he saw that he was discovered, he immediately raised his speed and ran wildly towards the exit.

"Violators should be punished." The majestic voice sounded unhurriedly again.
