917 Locking on
When the carriage stopped, the attendants in black tuxedos, white gloves, and velvet hats standing outside the castle had already opened the door of the carriage politely.
Xia Pingan alighted from the car and reached out to hold Mrs. Caitlyn’s hand, allowing her to lift her skirt and get off the car. As soon as Mrs. Caitlyn got off the car, she naturally held onto Xia Pingan’s arm with one hand, and the two of them walked toward the castle Gate.
Noticing that many people were still gazing at the airship in the sky, Xia Pingan also turned around and took a look.
that’s the labery family’s airship, ” Mrs. Caitlin said softly to Xia Pingan as she glanced at the sky. the labery family is the most powerful force on the Brad Peninsula. They control the Central Plains and important coastal cities of the Brad Peninsula. They have the most troops. At the same time, I heard that the labery family also produces powerful Summoners. This is the family with the most hope of unifying the Brad Peninsula. They are not to be trifled with. This time, it should be an important figure from the labery family who has come to take a look.
“Oh, really?” Just as Xia Pingan was about to summon the Child of Fortune to check on the situation, the strange feeling of having a divine body disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xia Pingan didn’t know what was going on. He looked at the guests in formal attire who were walking toward the castle Gate and said, ” it seems that the Helena family is indeed very influential. Even the forces of the Brad Peninsula have come to congratulate us!
of course. Helena’s father used to be a member of the redron cabinet, and he has a lot of influence in the capital. Helena’s brother is the current governor of the province of brandy. The movements of the province of brandy can also affect the situation on the Boulade Peninsula, so it’s normal for the laberet family to visit!
“I’m not interested in politics!” Xia Pingan smiled.
but none of us can get away from it, unless we live in isolation or in the mountains. I remember a philosopher saying that from the moment people are born, they are marked with political marks.
“Maybe!” As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the castle. Xia Pingan took out two invitation cards and handed them over. Then, she stepped on the red carpet with Mrs. Caitlin and entered the castle.
At this moment, the sky had turned dark. The fireflies that had just been summoned by the summoner decorated the castle and danced in the air, making the entire Castle more brilliant. In the center of the square of the castle, the giant was holding an umbrella like a sculpture. From time to time, illusionary petals fell from the sky. The band was playing melodious music. Those 30-cm tall flower spirits were flying here and there with glasses in their hands. The entire castle was filled with a gorgeous and romantic atmosphere. The entire banquet extended from the main hall to the square outside the castle. It was too boisterous.
As they passed through the square outside and arrived at the entrance of the castle’s Hall, Xia Pingan saw a few familiar faces.
The police chief of kland city, Kevin, was with his wife, chatting with a few men in the crowd. Mrs. Lawrence showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest among the ladies. Xia Tian could feel the shock that Mrs. Lawrence brought to the guests from the exclamations around them.
After the treatment of the poison, Mrs. Lawrence looked young and beautiful, which surprised those who knew him. Director Kevin’s wife was also surrounded by a group of women. However, compared to Mrs. Lawrence, Kevin’s wife only had two or three women around her. It could be seen that the woman didn’t seem to be very popular.
Helena was one of the most eye-catching women in the hall. She was like the Queen of tonight’s cocktail party as she was surrounded by a large group of women. She was the center of attention in the circle of women. When all the women in various gorgeous dresses and splendid clothes gathered together, they gave off a feeling that they were competing with each other for beauty.
From a distance, Xia Pingan could hear the ladies ‘exclamations.
my God, Helena! How did you guys become so much younger? what kind of magic spell is this? ”
yeah, when I saw Mrs. Lawrence last month, there were still some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But now, Mrs. Lawrence looks ten years younger.
to me, the cutest thing in the world is the realm Pearl. Unless they can give me a realm Pearl, I will not be interested in getting to know them!
I really don’t understand you men. I know that Caitlyn must have reserved your first dance, so I won’t fight with her. Remember that your second dance is mine!
Xia Pingan smiled. Just as he was about to say something, a figure suddenly walked over from the side and said to Helena, ” Hello, miss Helena. I didn’t expect to see you again, Yingluo.
The person walking over was a tall and handsome man with golden hair. He had a profound gaze and a mesmerizing smile on his face. The suit he was wearing was embellished with a belt of the Ceylon Empire’s noble suit. The way this man looked at Helena was fanatical and direct. He did not hide the desire to conquer her at all, as if he was treating Xia Pingan as invisible.
“Long time no see, Baron Maya!” Helena’s smile carried a sense of calmness and distance that only those who were familiar with her could sense. The man bowed slightly, as if he wanted to kiss her hand. However, Helena only raised her glass to him gently. Then, Helena looked directly at Xia Pingan, as if she did not see the anticipation on the man’s face. She introduced him to Xia Pingan, ” Baron Maya is the Deputy Consul of the Ceylon Empire’s consulate in kolanthe. He is young and promising, and is also a powerful Summoner! Baron Maya, this is my personal consultant, Mr. Xia Pingan!”
Caitlin introduced the two of them to each other. At this moment, Baron Maya finally shifted his gaze to Xia Pingan. His eyes shifted as he asked condescendingly, ” Mr. Xia, are you a Summoner too? ”
“Yes, I am!” Xia Pingan smiled innocently and nodded. I just graduated from Fort Andreas!
oh, oh, oh. Baron Meyer looked at Xia Pingan again and gave a fake smile. There was already a trace of contempt in his eyes. How powerful could a rookie who had just graduated from the Andrea Castle be?
The man turned around and left after saying his goodbyes.
As Xia Pingan looked at this man, she already understood that the demon who had been hiding in the Ceylon Empire’s Coland Embassy, the mastermind behind the horrifying waxwork museum, was this man.
Xia Pingan actually didn’t have any evidence. He didn’t know why this man wanted so many human organs, but his intuition had already told him and sent him a warning. It was this man, and there was no mistake.
The man’s back as he left coincided with the figure of the mage who had destroyed the small wooden house in Xia Pingan’s mind. Judging from his aura, this man was a level four Summoner. At his age, he had such an achievement, which was indeed something to be proud of. No wonder this man was so arrogant.
I didn’t expect the Vice-Consul of the Ceylon Empire’s Embassy in Coland to be so young. Strange, I didn’t know about this before! Xia Pingan said to Helena with a smile.
it’s normal that you haven’t seen him. Baron Maya returned to the country a few days ago to report on his work, so he’s not in Koland. He just came back today, just in time for the reception! Helena explained.
No wonder!
Helena’s words once again confirmed Xia Pingan’s suspicion. The so-called report was actually just a way to return to his country to lie low. No wonder the summoner who had been monitoring the Ceylon Empire’s Grand Hall of influence in kolanthe had not noticed him. It turned out that the boy of fortune was not in kolanthe at all.
This was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in a long search, but finding it without any effort.
