Chapter 250 The Sword and the Doctor

As for the future, Shade is not needed. His task was to get Steve Everett carrying the [Metamorphosis Ring] out of here, out of his normal surveillance post, and out of the crowded mansion.

The departing maid will guide him where he is supposed to go, and the maid Miss Tifa Serveit will be there waiting for him.

Of course, I can't kill Yvant yet, to prevent disturbing the cultists. The maid naturally has a way to replace the real ring with a fake ring, and make Yvant temporarily forget what he experienced. As for the specific method to use, that is something that Miss Galina needs to worry about, and has nothing to do with Shade.

The plan went smoothly. Shade just waited for the signal, and then went to the courtyard of the mansion to meet the maid, and then he could leave just and honorable.

While relaxing in my heart, I began to worry about another big adventure for a while.

He kept walking to the innermost part of the restaurant, spent a large sum of gold pounds from the maid, and took the two items he bought. It will take some time for the maid to deal with Steve Everett, and Shade had better find a safe place to be patient in the meantime.

Lake View Manor's lessons taught Shade that wandering around greatly increases the chance of bad luck. Especially tonight is another god calling ceremony, he has to be more careful.

The auction venue in the restaurant can't stay. After a while, Yvont may think of something because he saw Shade again.

"The third floor is definitely not allowed, and the second floor also seems to have a lot of great characters. The courtyard is also not allowed to go, which reminds me of the Lakeview Manor, so I still have to go to the first floor."

Thinking in my heart, I took the two priceless auction items I bought to the first floor. The banquet still followed the buffet-style service, and Shade did not go to serve any food here, to prevent accidentally eating strange things into the stomach.

But he still stood at the table full of food for a while, pretending to be curious about the fruit salad on the table:
"Are there any problems with these foods?"

Curiously asked the female voice in her heart.

[This distance, I don't feel any problem. ]

So pretending to be inadvertent, I wiped the dark liquid traces left on the tablecloth with my fingers.

"What about now?"

[Slightly strange feeling, but can't tell what was done to the food. ]

"Sure enough."

Standing alone in a corner can make you look weird. So I took a look on the first floor and ended up with a group of people watching others play Rhodes.

This time, I didn't encounter the kind of acquaintances who could talk to each other at will, and Shade just stood in the crowd and didn't speak. As for the special cards on both sides of the game, he didn't care at all, just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

There weren't many Rhodes hobby players at this banquet, and most of them came for the two extremely expensive special cards that were auctioned off at the end. Shade doesn't stand out here, nor does it look out of place for those who come to watch and then leave.

So Shade didn't care too much when a strange middle-aged man walked up to Shade and watched the game with him.

But the voice in his ear really made him startled:
[Don't move your eyes, look in front of you. ]

"What?"

[Don't change your expression too much. [ Not so serious, you have a high ring warlock by your side. 】

"Oh, it's just a ring warlock."

sighed in relief, out of the corner of the eye can see the middle-aged man beside him. He wears the same black suit as Shade, but he is slightly taller than Shade, with a medium build, neither fat nor thin.

Shade can't see more details because it can't be viewed from the front. It was only after being reminded by the voice in my heart that I suddenly realized that this stranger had a very unique temperament.

The so-called temperament is actually difficult to define, but when Shade noticed him, that strange feeling came to his mind, as if a huge mountain range was standing beside him, but in general, it was just a feeling The other party is very strong, and does not feel any strange breath.

This led him to the conclusion:

"The thirteen-ring warlock?"

[It should be. ]

There are not many thirteen-ring warlocks in the entire material world. The one beside him should be Mr. Hogg Rendell, the "Sun Sword" of the Supreme Sun Cult Society.

Shade has not met the gentleman, but it is possible that the other person knows him. Shade was shot at noon last Wednesday, and the gentleman was standing a few hundred paces behind him, most likely after seeing the photo on the news.

"You can feel that the other party is a high ring warlock, so can the other party's me feel that I am a ring warlock?"

Judging from Shade's basic class, this should be It was impossible, but he asked anyway.

[Don't worry, as long as you don't use spells or Mystic Art beside him, he will never sense us. ]

I don't know if the other party was there by coincidence or intentional, but thinking that he didn't do anything bad, Shade didn't feel too nervous.

So neither of them spoke, but stared at the ongoing poker game seriously. During this period, Shade thought boredly that the Mystic Art copied by the [Demoness's carbon paper] that he swallowed was the other party's famous Mystic Art.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the other party again, the fierce and warm temperament of the middle-aged man made Shade looked thoughtful. He probably understood what kind of Mystic Art he would get.

It wasn't until one side of the game turned over the moon 7 with some annoyance, lost to 18 with 22 points, and temporarily ended the game, Shade sighed, then turned and left here, while Lendl The gentleman continued to watch the game.

"It doesn't seem to be staring at me on purpose."

Shade didn't want to get involved with anyone here, and after successfully leaving the thirteen-ring warlock, he Thinking of finding a cooler place to stay.

Although the auction is only held on the second floor, the rooms on the first floor are also open to guests. Count's youngest son took out some of the family's collections, and rented some from his friends, and arranged them to look like an exhibition. Claiming to the outside world is to show the financial strength of the family, and incidentally makes the high ticket price worthwhile.

Shade's idea was to find a room with less people to calm down, but as he was walking down the hallway, looking around at the portraits of people hanging on the walls, a man in the front room walked out with a glass of wine. A decent middle-aged gentleman, both of them were stunned:
"Doctor Schneider?"

"Shade?"

Walking out of the room on the side of the corridor, It was the blue-eyed middle-aged psychiatrist. He looked at Shade in surprise, and Shade was even more surprised.

"Follow me!"

After reacting, Shade involuntarily took the doctor's hand and walked to the window at the end of the corridor, which was the courtyard of the mansion in the dark.

Confirming that no one was outside the window, and that no one was paying attention in the corridor behind him, Shade lowered his voice and asked hastily:

"Doctor, why are you here?"
