Chapter 2559 "Threat" and Temperature
【Didn’t you say you wouldn’t lie this time? 】
"This means not hiding my relationship with them. I don't want to say that I knew she was a witch yesterday. It would seem insincere."
Xia De answered silently in his heart, and "she" just smiled.
"I am Flora Winslet."
The lady standing in front of the window introduced herself in standard Kasenrick and looked at Shade with interest:
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton. Or rather, Knight Hamilton of Rheged?"
"you know me?"
Shade frowned slightly, then looked at Miss Danister who was standing beside him. The latter shook her head:
"I didn't tell her who you were. She guessed who you were just by hearing your name."
"Although you disguised your face, your handsome appearance and unique temperament, coupled with the name 'Shad' and the Draerion language you used when communicating, these features combined make it easy for me to draw conclusions."
She raised her head slightly. Although Miss Sylvia and Margaret had the same accent as her, this witch spoke in a way that was as beautiful as the sound of a spring:
"Because of my profession, I am still very concerned about the literary and artistic circles in your northern country. Unfortunately, Mr. Detective, I am familiar with the Delarion version of Hamilton's Detective Stories and have seen the silhouette of your photo in the newspaper."
"Well, good morning, Miss Winslet, may I take those words of yours above as 'thank you for saving me'?"
Shade asked, Miss Danister beside him almost laughed out loud, and the witch frowned slightly:
"It seems that you really don't know me. Didn't Carina say anything?"
Seeing Xia De raised his eyebrows, she pointed at herself:
"The eighth seat of the Witch Council, the Great Witch of Death, Flora Winslet, the Eleventh Ring Warlock (note)."
Then she walked towards Shad and held out her hand, which was quite strange because Shad was sitting now. Miss Danister didn't understand, but Shad knew what she was going to do.
But Shade didn't know what Miss Winslet wanted to say for a moment, so he stood up and shook her hand:
"Shad Hamilton, Eighth Ring, correspondence student at St. Byrons."
The two held hands together, and Shade clearly saw the surprised expression on the witch's face at that moment, and then she quickly returned to her previous smile. As expected, after the handshake, she suddenly grabbed Shade's wrist again, and let go before Miss Danister could protest.
She looked down at the palm of her right hand:
"It seems that this is not an illusion. It really happened. And why are your hands so hot?"
"Flora, what are you talking about?"
Miss Danister asked, but the witch kept the secret of the council and did not say anything. She looked up again and looked at Shade carefully. Every witch has her own unique perfume, "the smell of witches". The perfume on her body is a light plum scent:
"I saw the news, you and Carina Cavendish"
Shade glanced at Miss Danister:
"Miss Danister, can I talk to this lady alone?"
Although Miss Danister could probably guess that at least one of the ladies of the Cavendish family was a witch, Shad did not want to discuss the subject in front of her.
The eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress then pointed to the floor:
"This is my room, you don't want me to leave, do you?"
So Shad and Miss Winslet went to her room 321 temporarily. This room was larger than Miss Danister's room, and as soon as you entered the door, you could see the piano placed in front of the window.
From the window, you can directly see the "Golden Music Hall". When night falls and the lights in the Golden Music Hall are turned on, playing the piano alone in the room must be a very elegant thing.
But after the door was closed, the first words spoken by the room owner who was leaning against the door were not elegant at all:
"Shad Hamilton, you don't want the other witches to know about you and Carina, right?"
She said it with a smile.
"I'm sorry, what do you mean?"
Xia De, who was looking at the piano just now, turned around and asked. The witch at the door picked up the glasses case from the cabinet and put on her gold-rimmed glasses, which added to her bookish air.
Those glasses are a relic:
"We are all smart people. Now that I know your identity, I don't believe that you and Karina are innocent. Karina should have known the specialness of you as a 'man' last summer, right?"
She emphasized the word "man" with a relaxed smile on her face. Her leather shoes stepped on the carpet, and she walked towards Xia De and held his wrist again. Xia De wanted to break free, but she held Xia De's hand firmly and did not let go.
It wasn't that Xia De couldn't break free, but her hands just felt very small.
"Although I've always known that Karina is very bold, I didn't expect that she would dare to do such a thing. Or, maybe you can try to convince me that you and she are just ordinary friends, and she volunteered to help you keep the secret."
The two of them were very close, and Xia De looked at the delicate face in front of him:
"I will not deny my feelings for Karina just to protect myself. Yes, I am Karina's lover."
[This is also a lie. You got the relationship between the characters wrong.]
She then let go of Xia De's wrist and took a few steps back. She put her right hand, which had just grabbed Xia De's wrist, behind her back and nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right. Someone that Carina likes should be able to take on this responsibility. Now that I know who you are, it shouldn't be a problem for me to see what you really look like, right? Mr. Hamilton, take off your disguise."
The witch with gray-black hair guessed his relationship with Jialina, but she didn't seem to guess his relationship with other witches. Shade still didn't know what she was thinking, so he wiped his face again, and the witch took a deep breath and subconsciously took a step back:
"Move one step to the left."
"what?"
"One step to the left."
Shade walked to the left, and Flora Winslet sighed again:
"Perfect composition, that Galina guy."
"So, ma'am, what exactly do you want to say?"
The witch turned her eyes away from his face:
"Well, let's get back to business. Obviously, you haven't told your teacher, Miss Danister, about you and the witch; and obviously, Carina has also concealed the news about you, a man who is extremely special to the witch.
So, you don't want to reveal Carina's identity, nor do you want your identity to be revealed to the Council, right?"
she asked with a smile.
"Are you threatening the person who saved you?"
Xia De asked back, and the artist immediately shook her head:
"I'm a decent person. You saved me, so I won't threaten you. Although the outside world has all kinds of misunderstandings about us [Witch Council], everyone is actually a good girl."
With her right hand on her waist, she extended an invitation to Xia De:
"I want you to help me. Of course, whether you agree to help me or not, I will help you keep it a secret and pretend that I don't know about your secret relationship with Karina."
This secret love affair has long been known to everyone in the city.
Xia De really thought she wanted to threaten him just now, but now that he heard her say this, he felt that he had underestimated the girl in front of him:
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"I hope you can help me find a way to remove the [Time Curse]. Don't be so hasty. I know you would do this, but I'm worried that the method you found is only enough for one person. Do you think you will help me or your teacher?"
Everyone knows the answer so there is no need to say it.
"Besides that, I have my reasons for coming to Riverwood Town alone. I was originally worried that it wouldn't be enough for me alone, but now that I have you and the Red Moon Witch, I think my work should be done smoothly. I would like to invite you to help, but of course, I won't let you work for nothing, I will pay you."
"Let me make sure. If I don't agree, you will tell the parliament about my affairs, right?"
Shade asked. Miss Winslet, who had gray-black hair, blinked. She still felt the warmth on her right hand. She had just held Shade's wrist to feel more than just his gender.
"Absolutely not. I said, I'm not that kind of person.
And I don't want to be chased to Carsenrick and beaten by Carina, who is already at the twelfth level, and I don't want to be chased and beaten by Miss Danister, who I see likes you as a student very much."
Xia De pretended not to understand the sarcasm in her words:
"Besides the time curse, what else is there?"
"I'm here to look for my uncle, who also disappeared here more than ten years ago. I just found out a while ago that his last sighting was in Riverwood Town.
I won't hide it from you. My grandfather is seriously ill now, and the Winslet family is about to choose a new heir. I don't want to fight for this, but I don't want my father to inherit my grandfather's business. Yes, he and I have some conflicts.
Find my uncle, he will support my aunt to inherit the family. I promise that you will also gain the friendship of the Winslet family. I know that as Carina's lover, you may not care about this, so I will give you another reward. Do you know the Rhodes card? "
Shade looked at her, and the gray-haired witch answered herself:
"You are the champion of the Big City Players 1853 and a legendary Rhodes player who is very popular nowadays. How come you don't know about Rhodes?"
"You want to ask me for help with playing cards? [Genesis Time]?"
The witch who had been smiling all the time finally stopped smiling:
"If I can come up with this kind of cards, I can get people who even my grandfather dare not offend to support my aunt by just dealing with them among the nobles of Willendel.
It's not the founding series, but it's also an early series, [Racial Legends: Elves]. This series of cards has never been reprinted. There are thirteen special cards in total, including thirteen well-known races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons. How about it, are you interested?"
PS: I deliberately didn’t say “Eleventh-level witch” in front of Miss Danister.
