That evening, Princess Margaret's banquet was held at the Canary Manor where she stayed. The manor belonged to the Cavendish royal family and was specially used to entertain foreign dignitaries. It is located in the north of the South District of Torbesk
, close to the university district and about a twenty-minute drive from Saint Teresa Square.
Shade didn't understand the reason why the vice-president of the Truth Society appeared at the Third National Mechanical College in the morning. In order to prevent her from appearing again at the evening banquet, he took advantage of the time in the afternoon and went to the Blackstone Security Company to find her.
Yin Luna informed her about Miss Pavo's appearance.
Yin Luna then informed the church about this matter, so at the banquet held at Canary Manor that night, there were more ring warlocks from the church.
And when Shade entered Canary Manor at 6:30 in the evening, the heat of the badge on his chest reminded him that there was definitely not only one witch appearing here tonight.
Miss Carina is actually also at Canary Manor, but she probably won't show up at the banquet.
Although it is in the urban area, Canary Manor covers a large area. Shade has come here to "learn foreign languages" several times, so he is quite familiar with the internal conditions of the manor.
Tonight's banquet was held in the banquet hall on the first floor. Although only the people who were in the lecture hall this morning were invited, in the end there were quite a few people attending the banquet for various reasons. People seemed to regard this as a diplomatic banquet.
Although the bomb attack is still mentioned by people, people are more concerned about how the Latin American Principality will be punished in the future. Things of such a bad nature rarely happen in peacetime, even if Queen Diana was shot in the street in the summer,
There has never been such a big response as this incident.
Princess Margaret made an appearance at the beginning of the banquet, but then disappeared to unknown places. Count Herpos, who was in charge of the visiting delegation, was in charge of receiving the guests.
Shade did not see Miss Pavo appear again during the banquet. He wanted to find time to go upstairs to meet Miss Carina and ask the council if they remembered the past of Miss Schultz Theresa, but he just held the wine glass and just
After taking two steps towards the stairs, I saw Princess Margaret's maid walking over.
"Mr. Hamilton, did you see the man who threw the note?"
As soon as they met in the study room on the second floor, Princess Margaret asked a little eagerly. She really needed the surrender of the grey-headed eagle, but since they met at Fort Midhill in the autumn, the grey-headed eagle never returned.
I didn't contact her, and I didn't even collect the 1,000 pounds.
At this time, the mysterious ace agent appeared again, and Margaret Anjou knew that this was another opportunity.
"Oh, Your Highness, why do people always like to ask me this question?"
Shade shook his head:
"I almost didn't even eat lunch at Ridwich Field at noon. If Miss Carina hadn't sent someone to take me out, I probably wouldn't have been able to attend the banquet tonight. So, what is going on?
I found that people paid more attention to the note than the bomb."
"I'm really sorry, detective. I'm really sorry for involving you in this matter. I can't tell you the truth of the matter, and I can't involve you in such a troublesome political whirlpool."
The princess pressed her forehead with her palm rather unladylikely:
"This matter is related to Gray Gloves and MI6. Mr. Hamilton, you should have heard of these two organizations. So, I'm sorry, I can't say too much. I can only tell you that the person who dropped the note was
A remarkable man.”
Shade nodded in agreement. He had always thought that Mr. Sparrow Hamilton was quite amazing. There was no need to doubt this.
"Again, I'm sorry for bringing you into this, and oh, I also want to thank you for finding that note."
"It's nothing. I involved you in the devil's matter, didn't you accept my apology?"
Shade said, taking a look at the study:
"The evil spirits of the Third Age will not threaten us for much longer. Don't worry, this matter will be resolved soon. But before that, I will still come to visit you once a day."
"No problem, we are friends. From now on, you can call me by my name directly."
The princess nodded and sent Shade to the door of the study. After Shade left, she patted her cheek. She thought of Shade who just left and sighed in her heart. She now understood why he could win over that beautiful woman.
The Duke's Favor:
"Handsome, powerful, steady in doing things, and has no bad habits. If I didn't want to be the teacher's apprentice, I would probably like this kind of person."
On the other side, Shade returned to the first floor from the second floor. At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. He took another wine glass, then looked up among a group of guests and saw Dr. Schneider, who should never be here.
"Um"
This often means weird things happen.
The doctor also wore a formal dress and attended the banquet. He stood at the window of the banquet hall with a wine glass in hand, looking at the people at the banquet with a very melancholy look. The senses of the six-ring warlock are very keen. When Shade noticed him, the doctor also
Soon I saw Shade.
The expression on the doctor's face at that moment was probably similar to Shade's.
The two people soon met at the window, both holding a glass of wine. Shade tilted his head and asked the doctor:
"Doctor, you don't want to say that the devil is at this party, do you?"
The doctor controlled his expression with a sullen face:
"Yes, isn't that why you came here?"
He asked with some surprise in his tone, and Xia De was even more surprised:
"You found it, why did a man come here instead of informing me?"
"I didn't find it, I just suspected it was here."
The doctor lowered his voice and took a sip from the wine glass:
"Do you know why I haven't found it yet? It was injured more seriously than I thought and could not exist independently, so it was hiding in a human body. I found it once on Thursday.
It was seriously injured again, but it was very cautious and immediately changed into a new body."
The evil spirits and demons of the Third Age have the ability to coexist with humans. This has been demonstrated whether it is the demon in the demonologist's story, the "arsonist" possessing the Balrog, or the "human pus".
This can be regarded as a "racial talent".
"I will definitely not be able to catch it tonight. It is very good at escaping. I want to put a mark on it tonight so that it will never be able to escape next time."
The doctor drank the champagne in one gulp:
"The only trouble now is that I don't know whose body it is hidden on, so I'm still looking for it."
When he was talking to Shade, his eyes were always fixed on the banquet hall.
Even Shade cannot easily detect a possessed demon. When he first met Yinfan Darkness in Coldwater Port, Shade didn't notice it until he took off his red gloves and revealed the "Devil's Mouth" on his palm.
Notice how strange he is.
Although Shade was wandering around with his badge and could rely on abnormal reactions to detect who the devil was, this would also make the other party realize that he had been discovered, and Doctor Schneider had no time to put a mark on it.
So looking for the devil can only be done by doctors, and Shade can only wait for the doctor's good news.
So for the rest of the banquet, Shade stayed with Dr. Schneider. The doctor got the invitation from his patient and had no acquaintance at the banquet, so he and Shade acted together, listening to Shade and people talking about Luo
Depai, talk about interesting things about the nobles, and talk about the follow-up to this morning's incident.
By about nine o'clock in the evening, Shade had already gone to the Rhodes table and won three games in a row before the doctor coughed slightly.
He knew that the doctor had discovered his target, so he said goodbye to the baron who was playing cards with him, got up and walked towards the bathroom.
"found it."
The doctor said succinctly:
"He is not a guest at the banquet. He has possessed the manor's servant. Come with me. You will restrain him for at least twenty seconds, and I will mark it with a mark that will not disappear for at least a year."
Originally the doctor had to do this by himself, but now that Shade is here, it would be better to have someone help. And if the mark is put, the doctor is confident that the matter will be ended before next Tuesday.
Canary Manor is the residence of Princess Margaret. In theory, guests attending the banquet cannot enter other areas of the manor at will. But for Shade and the doctor, ordinary guards cannot stop them.
They just need to avoid the church's cyclomancers.
Shade followed the doctor and walked to the left along the corridor on the first floor. After passing through the corridor, he climbed out of the window and entered the area on the right side of the mansion. He then passed through the evergreen bushes in winter and entered the stone path, all the way around.
Arriving at the garden behind the manor.
Now in winter, even if the royal family pays for maintenance, the scenery of the garden is far less than that of midsummer. Next to the snowdrift under the grape trellis, the manservant who was stared at by the doctor was actually talking to another person, and the man who was possessed by the devil was actually talking to another person.
The gentleman opposite the footman, Shade, was very familiar with the doctor. He was actually Sir Kingsley Priscilla.
"Power? No, no, power is not so easy to obtain."
When Shade and the doctor lurked over cautiously, the conversation between the two had already begun for a while. Although there was a silencing charm on the ground, the doctor just poked it lightly with his finger and the sound came through. The silencing charm is a basic charm.
Although the effect is good, as long as the magicians discover the spell, they will naturally have ways to deal with it.
The one who was talking was Sir Prisha. The doctor signaled Shade to be silent and he was about to cast a spell. Shade listened with his ears upright to the private conversation between the two people under the grape trellis, illuminated by the moonlight.
"Of course it's right to pursue power, but it depends on this."
Jazz pointed to his head in a stern tone:
"Instead of relying on something like you who doesn't know what it is."
The valet looked about thirty years old and was dressed very smartly, but the deliberate smile on his face was definitely not what a normal person could show:
"Do you know what great power you have?"
It asked, and Shade and the doctor immediately frowned, because this was actually a devil's language.
