In the face of siren's question, Harvey sincerely and with a narrow answer: "passing caster."
"Passing caster?" Grace didn't feel how funny the joke was, or how much it relaxed her mood. At least she could be sure that the human beings in front of her didn't mean her any harm. The moment of lax consciousness came naturally. She instinctively regarded Harvey as the superior, and the sense of oppression on her disappeared.
Grace's body slowly returned to its original state. The remaining strength was not enough to support her to stand up. She only looked at Harvey with strange eyes.
From siren's instinct, even if Harvey ordered her to commit suicide, she would not hesitate to carry out the order.
"Can you stand up?"
Grace replied humbly, "yes, if you need to."
Harvey's words seemed to have a strange power. Grace's weakness disappeared in a moment. She stood up and humbly bowed to Harvey: "my Lord, I'm grace Nolan from Nolan family, siren's princess. Are you
"Siren? I don't have much in common with you, but I've dealt with sirens. "
Grice bit her thin lip and hesitated, "is that the sea monster? But... No, I feel the breath of the ancient siren high priest in you. It's not something the sea demon can have. "
"That's what you're talking about?" Harvey took out the reformed bracelet, which was one of the gifts given to him by the desolate abyss at the beginning. It has the magical power of calming the mind, which is of great benefit to meditation.
Seeing the bracelet inlaid with sapphire on Harvey's hand, grace finally understood the source of the pressure, looked at the sapphire that seemed to suck her soul in, and exclaimed, "heart of the sea!"
The heart of the sea, the jewelry worn by the high priest of the sea demon civilization, as proof of serving the God of the deep sea, why do such things appear in human beings? The most incredible thing is that the heart of the sea has even played its role and recognized Harvey as its master. In fact, the so-called ocean heart is just a strange gem "blessing" through the desolate abyss. Compared with the abyss egg that the desolate abyss once sent to Harvey, it's really a small thing.
"Is it worth the fuss?" Harvey was amused to see her face changing at the same speed as Peking Opera.
"Of course, it's worth it, but there's also the heart of the ocean. Why does it fall into your hands? You... Are you really human? " Grace was so excited that she wanted to bully herself forward and remain humble because of the existence of the sea heart.
"What's the difference between sirens and sirens?" Harvey asked curiously, rubbing his chin.
"Yes, although we and the siren are the continuation of the ancient siren, if we need a metaphor, then one is monkey, the other is human." When it comes to sirens, grace has a look of disdain in her eyes
"I got it from the God of the sea demon."
"You mean the God of the deep sea?"
Harvey shrugged: "it calls itself the abyss of desolation."
Grace was excited and perplexed. She lowered her head and murmured to herself, "how is it possible... How is it possible that we have not successfully called the God of the deep sea for so many generations. Why does the God of the deep sea establish a connection with a human being?"
Facts speak louder than words, and the fact that the heart of the sea is still working proves the truth of what Harvey said.
Grace suddenly looked up at Harvey and asked, "Sir, can I take a moment of your time?"
"No, I have to go in." Harvey pointed to the house on the side.
Grace bent down and begged: "this is very important to our sirens. It's about the future of our siren race. As long as you are willing to help, we sirens are willing to pay any price. As long as it's your order, we will do it regardless of the price."
"You can't disobey my orders." Haviyan raised the bracelet of the heart of the sea in his hand. Before his eyes, grace was almost ready to cry, and her shoulders stirred from time to time.
"Forget it, you come in with me."
Grace looks up in surprise and smiles.
"Say, your shoes and underwear
Harvey glanced at Grace with strange eyes. His shoes and underwear were torn when he fished just now. It was impossible for him to enter the inner hall.
"Please don't worry." Grissou reached into the void, took out a new suit and put it on in front of Harvey.
······
Harvey and grace go into the inner hall hand in hand and step into the door, which immediately attracts the attention of all the guests. Wearing an evening dress, grace looks more noble and elegant, and the indifference on her face melts a lot. On the contrary, Harvey, who is held by her arm, is much more low-key, with a feeling of flowers with green leaves.
Grace just caught the eyes of the guests at that moment. When the guests followed grace and looked at Harvey, their faces changed. More than half of the noble businessmen who recognized Harvey's identity rushed to say hello to Harvey.
"Mr. Adrian, I didn't expect you to be at the dinner."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Adrian, and I salute you on behalf of the Avalon chamber of Commerce."
"Mr. Adrian, may I have the pleasure of inviting you to have a little chat?"
······
Grice, who was holding Harvey's arm for a while, still thought that these people were coming towards her at the beginning. Until they said Harvey's name, her small mouth opened slightly to show an incredible look. Of course, she soon restrained her look and acted as a vase.
Harvey greets William one by one with a modest and polite smile.
William looked at Grace strangely. "Harvey, who is she?"
"Passers-by, just bring them in."
"Oh, by the way, it's nothing to do with me anyway. If Diana knows it... William looked up and down at Harvey's body:" do you want me to customize a soft armor for you, which can probably block Diana's sword strike. Diana has practiced her sword skill, and even the caster can't avoid it if she suddenly makes a move. "
Harvey said with a wry smile, "she's really just a passer-by, but I'm ready for that."
William handed a glass of champagne to Harvey and said with a smile: "it's just a joke. Diana is not so unkind. It's not a big deal if you have one or two lovers, but it's better not to bring them in front of Diana, otherwise she will be really angry and won't carry the sword, but it's estimated that she will neglect you for a long time."
"I know. I don't want her to be sad. Is there anyone else coming besides you?" Harvey looked back and forth in the inner room of the party, looking for familiar faces.
William was also looking at the guests in the inner hall, shaking his head and saying, "no, only count Henrietta and I, after all, are dinner for businessmen. The goal of this dinner is to set up a temporary business association with the Cromwell chamber of Commerce as the center, and promote phantom technology or something. In short, it's not something you are interested in. But if you can attend, the purpose of this dinner is basically achieved, Count Henrietta knows you're not interested and invites you, probably for that reason
"I didn't intend to attend. I just wanted to discuss the publicity of bocala's redemption. I thought that you and the count should be here at this time. I didn't have to make an appointment to come here."
"Let's wait until the meeting is over, about ten o'clock. Do you want to stay and socialize with me for a while? By the way, there must be a considerable number of people willing to serve you in your phantom propaganda. "
Harvey took a sip of the betel and shook his head: "but I will also get involved with them. I try not to. Once the social balance tilts, the trouble will be endless."
William pulled out a smile: "who let you have that special identity? Thanks to you, Cromwell chamber of Commerce has been treated as Royal Chamber of commerce all this time. I am very happy."
Harvey returned the champagne to William and took Grace's arm upstairs. "I'll go up and have a rest. Call me at the end of the meeting."
William kindly reminded: "Harvey, you'd better think of a reason to explain your girlfriend. Although Diana doesn't like to socialize, it doesn't mean she knows nothing about society. If you bring a strange woman to the party, you don't bring her. The newspapers don't dare to report about you at will, but they can't help but become the sidelights of the society. "
Harvey waved and went up to the single room on the second floor with grace.
Entering the single room, grace couldn't help asking, "Sir, do you know Mr. Cromwell?"
What happened that night was a lot of surprises. Let alone Harvey, who may have solved the siren's problems from ancient times to the present, if Harvey and Cromwell chamber of Commerce get together, Nolan island's current predicament can be solved.
"Ha?"
Sitting on the sofa, Harvey looks funny. Why does she know William but not herself.
No wonder grace, the Nolan family naturally set up the chamber of Commerce as the starting point, but the Nolan family is not a giant. Most of the investigations on the chamber of Commerce in other countries focus on the popularity of the chamber of Commerce and its responsible persons. As for the history of the chamber of Commerce and its influence, there is no way to investigate.
"I thought my name was well known." Harvey didn't answer. He looked at Grace and said, "go on. What do you want to tell me?"
"Yes."
Grace didn't dare to dally. She sat aside and explained the siren's situation.
Nolan island is the settlement of sirens, which is not a secret to the casters. On the other hand, the residents of Nolan island are quite exclusive, and they do not want to have anything to do with human beings except trade.
The ancient siren civilization was a social system based on belief, but it was the high priests who led part of the sirens to break away from the belief system. The sirens who broke away from the belief civilization were greatly damaged and deprived of the racial characteristics in exchange for knowledge. Some of the sirens who broke away from belief chose to go ashore and evolved into other races, including the origin of elves and human beings. It is said that sirens are the ancestors of human beings.
So far, only Nolan island has retained the name of siren. Nolan family claims to have the blood of high priest, but because it is too old, the correctness of this statement can not be verified.
The sirens did not want to return to the belief society, but they yearned for the glorious period of the ancient sirens. Recently, Nolan island has been declining, which directly led to the panic of the fish in Nolan island. The social system that has lasted for thousands of years is facing the threat of collapse again.
The last time we faced the same crisis was a thousand years ago. The sirens living in no fixed place depended on migration. Some of the sirens who did not want to live in no fixed place left the group on their own, causing a series of chain social collapse. The Nolan family stabilized the siren society by settling down in Nolan island. This time, they planned to trade with the human chamber of Commerce in exchange for a short period of material stability. After meeting Harvey, Grace's idea changed a lot.
If Harvey is willing to help her, it will fundamentally solve the collapse crisis of siren civilization.
"In general, I understand." After listening to Grace's explanation, Harvey rubbed his forehead to show that he was listening.
"Will you help us?" Grace was surprised.
"Can you sirens sing?"
"Of course, it's one of our proudest talents, and our singing is enough to move the hearts of any creature across races." Grace raised her chin with pride.
"Good."
Harvey seriously patted her on the shoulder: "so, in order to save the declining siren civilization, become an idol!"
"Idol?"
······
At the end of the dinner meeting, Harvey, William and count Henrietta discuss the publicity of "the redemption of bocala" and take grace back with them. They have made an agreement with William to continue to discuss the siren tomorrow.
Late at night, a carriage stopped in front of the manor. Harvey came down first and politely helped grace out of the carriage. The skirt of the dress was quite inconvenient.
As soon as they entered the gate, a petite figure came out. Joan of arc, who looked less than ten years old, stood in front of Harvey, blocking the way. She slowly raised her hands and yelled, "the light will punish you!"
A beam of light converged and slowly fell into Harvey's body. It was very comfortable and warm. Besides, there was no special effect.
As soon as Harvey's mouth turns, it must be Lily and nanizi who are playing "the dark legend" with Joan of arc. Harvey comes to Joan of arc with no expression on her face. As soon as she reaches out her hand, she makes a defensive boxing gesture, hitting Harvey in the stomach with a powder punch.
It's weak, it's not painful.
Harvey picked up her collar and lifted her petite body into the air.
"Put me down! Harvey, put me down
"If you don't put me down, I'll burn you! I mean it
Harvey took her collar and grace into the mansion. In front of the entrance, he fixed Joan's shoes on both legs and pulled her out of the shoes. Joan looked pitifully at Grace, expecting a stranger to rescue her.
Grace was looked at by poor eyes, looked at Harvey's back, did not dare to do anything, apologized with a smile.
Poor Joan of arc was hung by Harvey on the coat hanger on the back of the door.
In the hall, Diana was sitting on the sofa. She was reading a hardcover novel in her conservative white pajamas. When she saw Harvey bringing a beautiful woman back, she stood up and asked softly, "Harvey, is this lady?"
Diana and Harvey have been married for more than a year. The edges and corners of their bodies have long been smoothed down. The former arrogance has been transformed into the present nobility and elegance. They have beautiful golden hair and shawls. They can also feel an unyielding pride in their eyes. It's not domineering, it's a kind of self-confidence in their ability.
Now Diana often helps Harvey to share the task of the Queen's assistant officer. In name or in reality, she is the palace teacher of Queen Victoria.
"At count Henrietta's party, it was Lily's family." Harvey explained casually and asked, "did Lily go to bed early?"
Kindred? Grace remembered the song she heard in the hotel. Did the ancient siren live here?
Diana pulled up the wisps of her cheek and said, "well, I slept with Shirley."
"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow." Harvey turned to grace and asked, "do you want to sleep in the guest room or in the water? There's a pool in the backyard. It's made for the sea demon. It should be suitable for you, too. "
Grace moved her face and nodded, "don't bother, sir. Just arrange for me to have a rest in the guest room."
