Magician 42 "Magic Cup"
Slowly, the sound in the hall fell silent, and the small street lamp in the center suddenly went out at this time, and when the electric lights and candles in the banquet hall were rekindled, Brian had changed back to his original casual clothes, and the small street lamp and the three doves also disappeared in place with the resumption of light.
"The official performance is over, but today in addition to the official performance, I have a small show to dedicate to everyone!"
Brian said, casually walking to a table under the gaze of everyone, picking up a glass from which no one had used, and then wrapping the glass with a white napkin on the table.
After doing this, he looked at the nearest middle-aged man beside him and asked with a polite smile, "This gentleman, can you tell me what your name is?"
The middle-aged man was wearing a decent gray evening dress, and in the face of the sudden inquiry, he seemed slightly surprised, but he didn't mind, on the contrary, after watching the wonderful and magical performance just now, he was very interested in the magician in front of him.
"Of course, my name is Kyle Wells."
Brian smiled and nodded, picked up a clean cup with his other free hand, and continued to ask, "So Mr. Wells, what kind of drinks do you like to drink in your life?" Sweet iced tea, milk, wine, or a cup of fragrant coffee? ”
Kyle Wells shook his head slightly, and came up with a slightly surprising answer: "I prefer the wheat wine at the Harvest Bar to that, which has a sweet aftertaste and is my favorite drink lately." ”
"'Harvest Bar', I've heard the name too, and a lot of people have a lot of it in high esteem, but I haven't been there once." Brian showed a look of regret and regret, and after a few seconds, he suddenly laughed again, and said in a pinched tone:
"Today at Mr. Towells' blessing, we will try the classic wheat wine from the 'Harvest Bar'."
As the words fell, Brian lifted the cup wrapped in a napkin and made a pouring motion on the cup in his other hand, and as the arc increased, drops of bubbling orange liquid were poured into the clear glass.
The spectators, who had been observing the magician's every move, all showed surprised looks. Such a reaction, in a short period of time, they have been repeated many times. But they still didn't understand why wheat wine could be poured out of the previously empty glass.
In a burst of cries of surprise, the glass was filled and brought by Brian to the distracted Wells.
"Mr. Wells, would you like to taste this glass of wheat wine?"
"Good...... Okay......" Reflecting what had just happened, Kyle Wells, who had always been straight in front of others, took the glass in a daze, and took a shallow sip of the liquid in the glass.
"It's incredible, this aroma, this feeling, is really the same as the taste of the wheat wine in the 'Harvest Bar'."
Brian smiled and nodded, pouring the same wheat wine over several empty glasses on the table in front of him.
He looked at the few people who had unknowingly gathered around because of curiosity, and with great interest, he pushed the glass that had just been poured wine in front of the people opposite.
"Let's try it too."
None of them spoke, either took it and drank it, or hesitated a few times before they tried to take a sip. But in the end, there were no exceptions, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"It's really the taste of wheat wine."
“……”
"It's true, I thought ......," the man stopped halfway through his words.
He originally wanted to say, "I thought it was a trust", but it was not safe to say such a thing, and it was a little reckless and rude, so he took it back.
Not paying much attention to the mood changes of the crowd, Brian continued to walk out of the crowd with a glass wrapped in a napkin and came to a lady in a black one-piece dress.
For some reason, he had a faint sense of familiarity with the lady in front of him.
"Hello this beautiful lady, what do you like to drink in general? Cow or coffee? ”
Natalie Theodore, who was asked, was stunned, because her magic performance was too exciting, she couldn't help but feel driven by curiosity and moved forward a lot, but she didn't arrive but was suddenly "caught" by this magician who has a close relationship with the inspector.
At this scene, Natalie can't refuse anymore, so she can only smile and deal with it.
But then it occurred to her that she was doing a serious business, and no one had done anything illegal, so why should she be afraid of a magician related to supervision? Even if the real inspector stood in front of her, she was not afraid.
Figuring out the key points, Natalie is no longer afraid. She straightened her back, raised the glass with wine in her hand and drank it down, before she said lightly: "I prefer wine to wheat wine, it is fresh enough and does not have such a strong burning sensation."
"It's really a lady-friendly drink." Brian narrowed his eyes and nodded, seemingly agreeing with the statement.
Then he flipped it with his bare hands, and a new and clean glass appeared in his hand, and the other hand was poured, and a delicate fuchsia waterfall poured into the cup.
"Beautiful lady, may I give you a taste of this wine?"
Doubt, doubt, doubt!
Surprised, surprised, or surprised!
Not only Ms. Natalie, who observed every detail, but also other viewers who never left their sight.
How is it possible to pour two different drinks in a row without replacing a cup?
In the audience, some people have already seen what the magician's mouth means by the little show. A well-dressed young man, about 25 years old, stepped out of the crowd and asked Brian:
"Can you give me a hot cup of coffee?"
"Of course." Brian agreed, first handing the wine in his hand to Natalie, and then flipped it empty-handed and poured out a steaming cup of coffee.
The man who asked him before stepped forward to take a look, and carefully looked at the two cups in Ryan's hand left and right, but he couldn't see any flaws, and finally nodded in surprise.
"It's really coffee ......"
After filling the coffee, Brian looked annoyed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Sir, do you need milk and sugar for your coffee?"
The young man was stunned again, tilted his head and asked, "Is it okay?"
Brian nodded affirmatively, "Of course."
"Add both, don't ...... too much"
"Okay, add milk and sugar, don't ...... too much" Brian looked at the coffee in his hand, whispering and shaking it gently.
Soon, white pulp gushes out of the center of the coffee, forming a complex pattern.
"It's really ...... that you can still 'latte art' It's amazing!" Taking the coffee in shock, the young man opened his eyes wide, looked more closely, and after seeing nothing, tasted it again, but still found nothing wrong, like a real cup of hot coffee.
But is this really possible?
……
Later, Brian satisfied the curiosity of several people, and went straight to the table where Miles and the others gathered. He said apologetically to the crowd, "Sorry, I'm late."
After witnessing Brian's ability, Miles didn't dare to hold it up, and quickly got up and said "nothing". He believed that as long as there was enough time, when what happened at today's banquet gradually fermented, the magician in front of him would definitely be known and become a real magician!
"What would Mr. Miles want to drink?" Brian asked with a smile.
"Wine Bar"
……
Miles poured a glass of wine, and Brian poured the drink he wanted clockwise for everyone at the table. Finally, he stopped behind Maledez Huntington.
"Before I came, I had heard about Mr. Huntington, and I had prepared a drink for it."
With that, Brian poured out the turquoise liquid into the glass and gave it directly to Miles' mother, Blanche Felix, to feed the drink to Malediz.
Blanche took the cup, wondering in her heart, and her face was even more worried, not knowing what the liquid in the cup was and whether it would affect her husband, who had collapsed.
When Malediz nodded at her, Blanche fed Maldez the stuff.
The liquid passed through his throat and into his abdomen, and Maldez felt a heat in his body, and his skin began to turn red and hot, as if his whole body was being slowly boiled in warm water.
Ms. Blanche on the side panicked all of a sudden, hugging her husband and saying "what's wrong" and "what's wrong".
Miles' heart also sank, and he left his position at once, quickly came to his father's side, and checked the other party's physical condition.
Then he looked back at Brian and asked with anger, anxiety, and uneasiness, "What did you drink for my father?"
Brian took a look at the scene and replied with a pretense of composure, "Mr. Myers, do you believe in miracles?"
Before coming to the banquet, Brian asked the Inspectorate about the Huntington family in order to make sure that the performance could be better and that there were no surprises.
After learning about the specific situation, Brian also learned that the Huntington family often provided financial support to places such as the "Church of the Goddess of Nature" and the "Orphanage in Puze City". He asked the elf Lulu Senior for a bottle of potion to cure Maldez's illness.
But he didn't know exactly how effective the potion was, so he could only wait for the results. However, he believes that the result must be good, and the reason is very simple, just because Lulu is a natural elf and a "professional".
Fortunately, the scorching situation did not last long, and Malediz coughed several times in a row, clearly feeling that his physical condition was gradually improving, and his body temperature was slowly dropping.
He spoke, no longer as weak as before, but full of anger: "I'm fine!!"
Hearing his father say this, Miles lowered his head and did not continue to press Brian.
Gradually, Maldez's body improved significantly, and he actually stood up directly from his wheelchair. He looked at himself in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so good.
Others have all kinds of emotions such as surprise, doubt, and incomprehension.
This kind of mentality, they have appeared too many times today, and everyone feels a little numb.
Someone couldn't help it, so he whispered in the crowd, "When will the magician be able to heal?"
……
Outside Huntington's villa, a servant who was in charge of opening the door saw a figure appear on the side of the street. The man walked straight to the door of the villa and asked, "Hello." I'm looking for Mr. Arnold, and I'm in a hurry with Mr. Brian, and they're inside, can you let me in, or help me call them out? ”
The servant looked at the person in front of him, and saw that the other party was well-dressed and eager, not like a "mouse" on the street, and indeed looked like he was in a hurry, so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll go in and help you find someone, don't walk around."
After about ten minutes, the maid led Arnold and Brian out.
Under normal circumstances, it doesn't take so long to find someone, and the reason why it took so long is because of the Huntington's strong gratitude, which has been dragged until now.
The servant pointed to the man at the door of the villa and signaled that the man who was looking for you was there.
Arnold and Brian looked up and saw that they both knew each other, so they both looked forward in confusion and asked about each other's origins.
"It was Chief Catherine who asked me to call you, saying that there was a problem with Viscount Jonas Addison, and that you should come over after you were done with business."
Brian Arnold looked at each other, unable to understand what they had discovered.
After the eight sketches were sent to the inspectorate, most of them quickly found the address and trace, and only one middle-aged man did not have any information.
In order to find the mastermind of the "lost luck case" as soon as possible, Ms. Catherine and Arnold checked the situation of the six people that afternoon, and found no problems.
The remaining two, one without a trace, and the other a viscount, did not investigate that day because of the latter's special status, but prepared some work, and waited for Lady Catherine and Mr. Cole to go again the next day.
But I didn't expect this stop to wait for something to go wrong.
However, the main thing in Ms. Catherine's mouth is naturally the show, and now that the show is over, there will be no problem leaving early.
"I'll call the three of Blake, and I'll bring the box with me by the way." Brian left a word and immediately returned to the ballroom.
Arnold, on the other hand, summoned two carriages in the streets, ready for Brian and his party to leave as soon as they came out.
