Baron Gary had a good reason to hold this dance. His newly adopted daughter is on her twelfth birthday. So this dance is actually a birthday party.
Twelve is a very special number for people in the eastern continent, whether ordinary or extraordinary.
For example, in new Osman, at the age of 12, people can make some decisions and sign their names on some legal documents, which will be recognized by the law. Before that, even if they sign their names, people in the imperial Department of politics and law will only sentence the other party to the contract to commit fraud.
But in the mysterious world, it has a more special meaning. For ordinary people, that is, on the day of their birthday, some ordinary people will awaken their blood and completely change their destiny.
Of course, this is unknown to ordinary people, but as a major birthday node, 12-year-old people, no matter who or where they are, are inherited from the customs.
The reason why we say so much is that quince came across such an example today.
When Phoebe, Baron Gary's adopted daughter, came into the hall in her best clothes, the blood in her thin body seemed to gush out at any time, and could not escape quince's eyes. Quince knew that at twelve o'clock this evening, a warlock would be born.
Quince did not say anything, quietly watching the dance, a little girl about to step into the mysterious world, I do not know whether she is lucky or unfortunate.
The dance was held in a friendly atmosphere, and when a twelve layer cake was pushed up, the dance was pushed to the climax.
This kind of cake cutting ceremony is exactly the same as quince's previous life. Quince thought, touching his chin.
Just as Morris was cutting the cake, quince's face moved. He left the hall in different voices and came to the shadow of the corridor.
"Come out." Quince whispered.
"Baron Dodd, long time no see." Out of the shadow came a man whom quince had met in the border city of Stenberg, DORT hill.
"Why are you here?" Quince frowned, but after knowing that it was the intelligence agency's DORT hill, quince's inner vigilance came down.
"Intelligence has detected a blood awakening reaction here, so I'll come and have a look," he explained
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as looking at it."
"It's true that every warlock who has just awakened is an unstable factor in the new Osman, and we will guide them to slowly control the power of their awakened blood." "Don't worry, Miss Phoebe Garry, as Baron Garry's adopted daughter, will be well guided," he said
Quince's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could hear it. This means that if the awakened blood people were civilians, they would not be let go so easily. More likely, they would be taken back to the mysterious defense mechanism to train these blood people into their own people.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the Empire. If he were the leader of the Empire, he would make the same choice. Quince would not criticize anything. Besides, is it really good to let go? Quince is very clear about the difference between organized and unorganized. Those who have never joined the organization, how many of them can achieve something.
Quince nodded indifferently. He just asked out of the obligation of "friend". Since he is an official, he will not stop anything, and there is no reason to stop it.
"How many of these things have happened?" Quince was curious.
Tao Te shook his head: "now, there are fewer and more people like Miss Gary who show signs of awakening on her birthday. They use secret medicine to induce awakening, or they have significant external stimulation, which is also the inducement of awakening."
Quince nodded thoughtfully. It seems that the intelligence agency specially sent someone to check it. It's not unreasonable.
Still waiting to be asked, quince inspiration move, murmured: "unexpectedly someone came again, what's the matter today?"
In the vision, a thin shadow attached to the shadow in the corner of the hall was creeping slowly towards Phoebe Gary.
"Presumptuous." Quince snorted, and even moved under his nose. No matter how far away he was from the relationship, he could not be indifferent.
Grasp with your right hand, element Scepter already in hand, 3 ring magic water curtain cage!
This is a variation of the water element magic water curtain, which is used to imprison enemies. At quince's current height, witchcraft below the third ring is no longer limited to fixed witchcraft models, but can slightly modify the witchcraft template and change the role of witchcraft. That is to say, quince has such a deep and terrible knowledge. If a wizard comes here, he must reach at least level 6 or even level 7 to achieve quince's level.
A thin layer of water mist is covered with the shadow which is different from others, just like two layers of interference. Just as quince wanted to tighten the water curtain cage, suddenly there was a sharp scream behind him.
Whew!
It's just quince's heart.
Suddenly, a fishtail came out behind quince, just in front of the shrill road.Ding!
Then, the whole body of the mermaid slowly emerged from the void and stood behind quince. After that, a water curtain was shining, and quince was inside.
Quince turned slowly and looked at the expressionless DORT behind him: "you Who is it? "
Tao Te said with a smile: "when did you find the flaw? It's always on my guard. "
"Flaws?" Quince sneered: "it's a fatal flaw that you have only one person here."
"Oh? You've noticed. " Tao Te frowned: "I thought you just came to St. dreyface, you are not familiar with the intelligence agencies."
"Of course, I can't be completely sure. After all, everything will happen in this world, but I'm not used to exposing my back to other people, so whether you're real taote or not, I'll guard against you." Quince developed this habit when he was a shadow assassin.
"Now, can you tell me who you are? Who sent you to kill me? " Obviously, Tao Te's trip is not for Phoebe, Baron Gary's adopted daughter, but for quince himself. Even the person who is approaching Phoebe may be set up to attract quince.
"Hey, hey, I want to know. It's not too late to tell you when you die." Taote suddenly showed a strange smile, and then the whole person suddenly melted from head to foot, just like a candle, so did the shadow creeping forward on the other side.
Quince frowned and slowly stepped forward to see where tot was, leaving only a pool of wax oil.
"Wax figures!" There is surprise in quince.
In a word, wax figure is also a kind of puppet, but this kind of puppet is not included in the three mainstream puppets, biological puppet, element puppet and mechanical puppet. It is a very rare kind of alchemy puppet.
If it wasn't for quince's mastery of alchemy puppets, he might not have seen the origin of this thing.
Constance flew out of the psionic crystal, stood on quince's shoulder and said, "it looks like you've been targeted. If you don't hit it, you'll retreat. Either you're an assassin or you're a lone wolf in a mercenary."
"It's not an assassin. I don't smell the unique smell of an assassin." Quince shook his head and denied the assassin's conjecture.
"That's the mercenary. It seems that someone is offering you a reward." Constance guessed.
"Mother of snakes church." When it comes to what people quince has offended, his first thought is the Church of the mother of snakes.
"Probably. Ten thousand snakes are about to enter the sleeping month. It's impossible to kill you in person. Offering a reward is undoubtedly a good way Constance road.
