chapter.27 Mind Call(2/2)
...Indeed, this kind of cheating level thing is really useful in delivering messages.
It is rare for Alice to explain in such detail. Is it because in the spiritual world, she is considerate to the point of being a bit nagging...
Stop! I can’t think about it any more!
It's time to remind her to pay attention to the time. It's almost six o'clock. If she doesn't put on her dress and go out, she will be late!
"I'll be fine in no time...five minutes at most!"
There was no urgency in Alice's voice.
When a woman talks about five minutes, who knows how many five minutes are superimposed?
Ah, ideas always appear so fast that reason can't catch up... If he was like this in reality, he would probably be beaten to death long ago...
Stop it, stop it, I can’t think about it anymore! What is the syllable that closes this spiritual call, su...
sule?Sule?
"It's Sulje." Alice reminded him in a smiling voice, and then said, "It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable when using it for the first time. Once you get used to it, you won't think of unnecessary thoughts.
Conveyed to me."
Holding back his embarrassment, Klein tried to recite the closed syllables three times, and successfully ended the spiritual call. Most of the strange energy that kept his mind clear and calm was also dissipated, and the coolness that washed away the soul
The feeling has almost completely disappeared.
Fortunately, I didn't think of anything strange... Otherwise, I would have died. If the identity of the time traveler was exposed and the mysterious transfer ceremony was exposed, I don't know what serious consequences there would be.
Well, with this earring, it seems that it can indeed resist Alice's charming ability. At least after the earring is fully functional by the syllable of the spell, he can feel that his spirit is a bit close to the gray mist."
After "disinfection", the state is very clear and rational.
This thing is pretty good. If Alice is willing to give him one, he won't have to make those anti-charm talismans anymore.
No, forget it, she will definitely ask for equal exchange, and he obviously can't afford the price she wants... You can't pay the debt with your body, right? It's shameful.
In the following time, Klein picked up the black mask and pondered it again. However, due to the lack of test subjects, he only mastered the intonation and pronunciation of controlled syllables and stopped trying any more.
Later, the familiar male servant from before came over and informed him, asking him to go downstairs and take a carriage.
Klein was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
"It's really five minutes..."
…
On the way to the suburban manor, Alice briefly mentioned some issues that she had not had time to elaborate on before, such as the potions she had promised, and the activities that Klein could freely choose as the dinner process progressed:
When the two of them move together, since Klein's tuxedo really can't hide anything too obvious, Alice will be responsible for carrying the vials containing the medicine. When he said this, Alice glanced at him.
He didn't say anything in his pocket, but Klein knew that she was looking at the bottle of energy potion that he didn't want to part with and didn't dare to drink.
And when they act separately, and Alice goes to investigate the witch, Klein can hang out at the dinner party, taste food and wine from various countries, and dance with someone if he's interested, but it's best to decline those comparisons.
Ambiguous invitation...
simply put.
Klein's task during the dinner was to accompany Alice in disguise in the opening stage, paddling on the edge of the water, and then free activities to eat, drink, and have fun as he pleased, as long as he didn't get targeted by the real witch.
Is this what it feels like to be a humanoid pendant... It's pretty good, it's not difficult at all. Unfortunately, I don't know how to ballroom dance at all, so I might as well skip dancing.
After thinking about it, Klein asked another question:
"However, you said that the dinner party was hosted by the witch. Can the food there... be eaten and drank normally?"
Although the understanding of witches and the witch sect behind them is limited, judging from the Nighthawks information and the simple description revealed by Captain Dunn, basically any witch has experienced the stages of being an "assassin" and an "instigator", and
Members of extremist organizations often plot tragedies. The witch of Sequence 6 is even "Happy"...
No matter how you think about the nature of this dinner party, it is not just about eating, drinking and having fun.
"To be cautious, it's definitely better not to touch the food inside, but if you want to taste it, it's not impossible. I've prepared antidotes and purification potions here, so you won't die suddenly."
Alice said it so bluntly.
Well, it makes sense. Alice must have prepared a back-up plan, but he can't rely entirely on her... By the way, he can use divination to confirm whether the food is safe and whether it can be eaten normally!
Klein thought this, and gradually relaxed his mood. He no longer felt nervous when facing the dressed-up Alice, and his heart rate slowly returned to normal.
——The premise is that he does not look at the large expanse of snow-white skin exposed on her shoulders and chest, but only stares at the lace gauze and ribbon decoration of the light cyan high-waist dress, and concentrates on letting himself go.
There's nothing I can do, the pressure... is too great... I can't stand it.
Perhaps because he didn't get a good rest last night, and the shaking of the carriage in motion made him particularly tired, Klein unknowingly took a nap. It wasn't until the vibrations from the seat beneath him faded that he got rid of the nap time.
Hazy state, wake up.
He quickly checked his appearance to make sure that there was nothing rude about him and that he felt decent overall.
At this time, the coachman in charge of driving in the front had handed their invitations to the attendants at the entrance of the manor. The two attendants serving the owner of the manor separated themselves and looked into the interior of the carriage.
This is to confirm whether the guests sitting in the carriage are wearing appropriate clothes for the banquet, and whether there are any suspicious persons other than guests in the carriage.
Seeing this, Klein quickly reached for the black mask next to his seat, fastened it around his eyes and put it on. Then he raised his eyes and met the beautiful "witch" who was holding a folding fan to cover the lower half of her face and wearing a silver mask.
"The eyes met.
Only a pair of green eyes were visible on her face. A few strands of her light blond hair were elegantly braided down to her ears. Her slender snow-white neck was embellished with a delicate necklace of deep amber cat's eye gemstones, exuding nobility.
And the beautiful soft temperament.
But those gorgeous eyes seemed to be able to speak. Even if she just looked at him without saying a word, he seemed to be able to see the smile in her eyes, and he could see the curl of her lipsticked lips through the folding fan.
The curvature of her mouth can be recognized, and she seems to be saying...
"Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, please come in."
The attendants at the entrance of the manor chanted polite greetings like a roll call, interrupting his further imagination.
The carriage slowly walked forward for a short distance and reached the end of its journey.
Klein got out of the carriage first, then turned around to help the girl who was traveling with him in a complicated dress, asking her to hold his hand before slowly stepping out of the carriage.
After she adjusted the light cyan cocktail hat on her head that was the same color as the dress, Klein walked with her to the entrance of the dinner hall. During this period, he maintained good manners and behaved like a true upper-class gentleman.
"Edward." Alice put away the folding fan that she had used to cover her face, and whispered the pseudonym he used tonight, "When the dinner officially starts, we will go to dine first, and then we will make plans, such as casual shopping.
Shopping, what do you think?"
What, eat first? Do you still need to ask?
Klein behaved as usual, nodded reservedly, and walked into the splendid hall with the dressed-up girl beside him:
Chapter completed!
