In any case, Gray Linte still temporarily believed the two pieces of information given by Carol in the dream.
This is due to two considerations:
First, he had similar speculations, and second, when he was in Backlund, he had received her help and successfully joined the "Hermit of Destiny" party, so the two of them had some kind of friendship.
.
"If this dream is really her using extraordinary abilities to remind me intentionally... I should owe her another favor."
Thinking about it, Gray Linte couldn't help but have a headache. Although he was still very grateful for the other party's kindness, he didn't like the feeling of owing others something. The best way was to complete this kind of information directly through transactions.
comminicate.
…
At noon, Joan, who was out for fun, and Shirley, who was investigating the wealthy Sid Jeff, both came back.
After quietly giving Shirley a wink and indicating that she would talk later, Gray Lint said hello to Joan:
"Good afternoon, Joan. How are you? Did you enjoy your trip?"
Qiong dodged her eyes and said perfunctorily:
“It was great, I saw a lot of interesting scenery.”
Grayling nodded, not knowing what to talk about for a moment... According to common sense, he should follow her words and ask what interesting scenery there are?
It's a pity that he really has no interest in this, and at the same time, he doesn't want to have such meaningless chat with Joan.
"Um...Graylint, I have something to discuss with you."
After a few seconds of silence, Qiong spoke first and whispered.
Gray Linte glanced at her silently, and said slowly and without any emotion:
"Okay, let's go to the reception room."
"No, no need, it's just a small matter..."
Qiong waved her hands eagerly, raised her head, and explained:
"That's right, I want to move out and won't bother you anymore."
She didn't explain any reason, because this was a test of his attitude, so after saying this, she stared directly into Gray Lint's eyes.
Gray Linte was a little stunned, but breathed out silently. He didn't expect that she would bring it up on her own initiative... In fact, the two of them had not thought about this matter clearly at all at the time. They just arrived in the Southern Continent and instinctively thought of hugging each other for warmth.
, without considering that in the long run there will be personal emotional involvement.
"good."
"This is just a small matter. In fact, you can inform the housekeeper directly."
He deliberately showed a nonchalant attitude and made no polite attempts to persuade me to stay.
Some things must be disrupted if they are discontinued.
The look in Qiong's eyes could not be concealed.
Then, she withdrew her gaze, nodded as if nothing had happened, and returned to her room alone without lunch.
…………
Shirley witnessed the whole scene and vaguely understood their hidden meanings. She couldn't help but look at Graylingt in surprise... She had always thought that Graylingt and Joan were almost already a predetermined husband and wife.
Although they live in the same house, she actually knows that there is no substantial relationship between the two for the time being.
She did not ask anything presumptuously, but said to Gray Lint in a business-like manner:
"Checked it out."
"The information given by 'Viper' was completely fabricated and not even remotely true. West Germany did have a relationship with the widow, but in fact it was completely voluntary. After her husband and son died in a plague,
Unable to make ends meet…”
"What are these people from the Gnostic Society doing?"
Gray Lint was in a restless mood and had no clues, so he was not in the mood to think calmly:
"Then you just ignore his mission, and then stay in West Germany. When they send other people to assassinate him, you try to kill the assassin again to complete the role."
After saying it in one breath, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he shouldn't have taught Shirley how to act just yet.
Forget it, I can only hope that she didn't notice this slightly different wording.
"Also, take the 'Witch's Makeup Mirror' over there, and remember not to show off. Be prepared to run away at any time and come back to me for help."
"Well, remember to take the time to learn from Aphra how to contact me."
He actually hoped that Shirley could take this opportunity to join the "Gnosis Society", but he had no choice but to expect that the first mission goal they gave was completely contrary to his and Shirley's values.
Shirley agreed and was in a very good mood. She had thought that Gray Lint had signed her as a follower and might ask her to carry out some fatal missions at any time...
————————————————————————
At seven o'clock in the evening, in the downtown area, in Pierre's mansion.
Gray Lint glanced at the decoration and display here, and was slightly disappointed... This is not as good as his own small villa in the West End.
In fact, he didn't really want to come to this party, but thinking that it was proposed by Morgan and there might be some conspiracy, he suppressed the idea of staying at home and resting.
He didn't know yet that this dinner was originally arranged for him.
…
A dinner party is different from a dance. The form of this kind of party is a little more fixed. The theme is banquet and eating. This kind of party is common in Intis and relatively rare in Loen. However, in the colonies, except for a few pure Loen
For gatherings of people, banquets are more common than dances.
Of course, the theme is eating, but the fundamental purpose of a party is to socialize.
As Pierre and other key figures finished their speeches, the servants quickly filed in and laid out a series of food.
Since most of the people at this gathering were businessmen, and Intis and Loen people accounted for about half each, it was inconvenient for both sides to accommodate.
So Pierlu simply prepared mainly foods with southern continental characteristics, including cheese bread made with cassava flour, ice cream topped with purple raspberry juice, Haggati grilled meat, schnitzel, assorted seafood soup... Most of them
It's not high-end, but it's much more refined than the usual ones.
The only difference between a banquet and a dance is that in a banquet, the dancing area and the dining table are separated. In other words, guests coming and going can relatively easily judge whether you want to eat or socialize at the moment.
Gray Lint was not very familiar with the process of this kind of banquet, and he was also unfamiliar with Intis etiquette. In addition, he was not willing to participate in such a party. Therefore, when the speeches of the previous people had just finished, he immediately
I wanted to run to the dining area next to me to hide.
However, he looked at the other party members and saw that none of the other party members had similar actions, and restrained his thoughts.
…
Originally, he thought of inviting Joan, whom he was familiar with, to the first dance, but unexpectedly, after looking around for a few times, he discovered that Joan had not come to the party.
"Huh?"
While looking around, he suddenly saw a beautiful face, the girl from yesterday afternoon.
"Isn't this the girl that Carol pretends to be?"
"But in my dream last night, I heard the implicit meaning of her words. It seems that this girl has some relationship with her, but she is not herself?"
"Also, she said that this girl might be harmful to me?"
In a flash of thought, Gray Lint contacted Morgan to ask Pierre to hold this banquet, vaguely grasping Morgan's thoughts:
"You can't kill me with the 'sword' of Hessel, so you plan to use a honey trap?"
"What on earth does he want to do? Why is he always staring at me..."
…
While Gray Linte was looking at the girl inadvertently, the other girl also seemed to sense something and turned her head to look over. Then, the beautiful girl got rid of a pester who invited her to dance and walked straight away.
