The spacious hall is full of fragrant clothes, gentlemen, and longing figures.

The style of clothing and the surrounding furnishings, as soon as he stepped in, he saw a woman not far away stroking her handkerchief and smiling, wearing a Basil-style dress, whispering in twos and threes, which made Tang Baifa feel a strange sense of absurdity in his heart.

It's like a costume party in Europe full of retro style.

The bustle-style skirt replaced the crenolin skirt in the 1870s and became the new favorite dress for women. This kind of skirt has a prominent bustle on the lower waist - the bustle-style skirt.

It got its name. The train of this style of skirt is narrowed and part of the hem is tied up. The fabric can be embellished with various complicated flower patterns according to your preference.

Wearing this kind of long skirt can highlight the figure of women, making their figure look more enchanting. Viewed from different angles, the Basil-style long skirt will also give people different feelings. For example, when viewed from the front,

Slender and delicate.

On the side, the woman's peaked breasts and plump buttocks are highlighted, giving the woman's body a graceful S-shape with forward and backward curves. Most of the collars are high collars, and the necklines are wide open, revealing the beauty underneath.

petticoat. The sleeves on both sides are thinner, and the cuffs are decorated with complicated and delicate lace and ruffles to make the woman's arms look more soft, slender, delicate and attractive.

Tang Bai and Pearl wandered around aimlessly for a while. They were surrounded by strangers, and Tang Bai and Pearl had no intention of striking up conversations or getting to know others.

Although time passed by second by second, there was no trace of anxiety on Tang Bai's face.

The other party couldn't just invite him here and then ignore him. He would always show up, sooner or later. So Tang Bai didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Sure enough, Tang Bai soon became keenly aware of a few special eyes falling on him. Sensitively, he looked in the direction of his intuition. At a railing on the second floor, two men in tuxedos were standing upright.

.

Tang Bai's eyes met one of the men with a charming smile on his lips. When their eyes met, the man smiled and raised the wine glass containing the red liquid in his hand to Tang Bai.

Nicklaus Michaelson!

There may be some differences between the face and Tang Bai's impression, but the unruly and cold temperament, as well as the smile representing the surname on the corner of the lips, instantly overlapped with the Klaus that Tang Bai only remembered, making that

The impression that was originally a bit vague suddenly became vivid and lifelike.

Standing next to Klaus is a man with a body as tall as a pine tree and a serious and rigorous face. Unlike Klaus's unruly and wild appearance, the man's meticulous clothing and neatly combed hair

, there is a sense of calmness and elegance all over his body.

"Blood, I smell the smell of fresh blood." Pearl's nose wrinkled sensitively. She looked at the wine glasses held by the two men on the floor. The hot desire in her eyes passed by and was quickly suppressed.

.She already has a strong sense of self-control, and with Tang Bai's potion, she can calm down her restless emotions and desires almost instantly.

Looking at the two men standing on the floor, an idea flashed in Pearl's mind. She glanced at Tang Bai with some horror: "Are they?"

"Yes, if I guess correctly, they are the two ancestors of your vampires, Klaus and Elijah." Tang Bai picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and nodded to reveal their identities.

The smile on Klaus's face on the balcony suddenly became brighter. Elijah, who was accompanying him, tilted his head curiously. The movements were very small. If Tang Bai hadn't been paying attention to the two of them,

It's hard to say that you won't notice it at all.

"They can hear what we say, follow me closely." Tang Bai glanced at the two of them one last time, and strode towards the direction of the stairs. Since Klaus and the others showed up on their own initiative, Tang Bai naturally stopped showing up.

The crowd was idle.

During the approach, Tang Bai's eyes never left Klaus and Elijah for a moment. When Klaus and Elijah saw Tang Bai's behavior, they could naturally guess his thoughts.

.The two of them stood still, quietly waiting for Tang Bai and the others to arrive.

There were also people gathering in twos and threes on the second floor, whispering. But there was no one around Klaus and Elijah, who were supposed to be the focus of the banquet. Even though the two of them were in the same place.

This should not be the case in remote corners that easily block the view.

This situation can only be caused by Klaus and Elijah's deliberate arrangements.

"Oh, look, a beautiful vampire companion! This is really good." Klaus glanced at Tang Bai, who was approaching, and Pearl, who was still holding his arm.

"Thank you for the compliment." Tang Bai smiled slightly.

"This is not a compliment. You don't give me a very good impression." Klaus turned his wrist slightly, and the thick red blood in the cup rippled, dyeing the crystal body of the cup with a layer of crimson.

"To each other. I have nothing to say to a person who took the owner's house to hold a banquet without the owner's permission, and generously invited the owner to attend." Tang Bai spread his hands.

"You know, right? Vampires cannot enter a house without the owner's permission. If this house were yours, we shouldn't still be here now." Klaus smiled strangely.

"That's because I haven't signed the contract for this house yet. After receiving the invitation, I deliberately kept the contract." Tang Bai lowered his head and twirled his fingers.

"You can talk about the gossip later. Before you build a relationship, let's talk about the business first." Elijah on the side stretched out his hand to interrupt Tang Bai and Klaus.

"I'm happy to talk to you about some serious matters." Tang Bai turned his eyes to Elijah and nodded slightly.

"Let me introduce myself first. Although you and this lady just mentioned our names in the conversation," Elijah said, pointing at the pearl, and continued: "But I insist that,

It’s best to introduce yourself in person. I’m Elijah Mikaelson, and this is my brother Nicklaus. Of course, he prefers to call himself Klaus.”

"Tang Bai, no matter it's Tang, Bai, or full name, you can call me whatever you want. This is my female companion, um, Miss Pearl." After Tang Bai introduced himself, he pointed to Pearl beside him.

Said again.

"Why do you want to inquire about our news?" Elijah took a step forward and looked at Tang Bai's eyes closely. The pressure of his eyes, coupled with the words that seemed to come from deep in his heart, gave people a different feeling.

A strange charm. Under the influence of this charm, people can't help but want to completely open their hearts and confide their deepest secrets to the owner of that voice.

Tang Bai's face suddenly became cold and heartless, and his whole person gave people a sense of alienation and discomfort that was thousands of miles away.

Occlumency!

Tang Bai worked extremely hard and almost trained this spell into an instinct.

As proficient as this spell is the Forgetting Curse!

Because every time he asked Gargson or Bellatrix to help him practice Occlumency, Tang Bai needed to use the Forgetting Curse to erase their memories, lest they pry out the secrets from their minds.

leaked out.

Even though they were bound by complicated and powerful magical contracts, as long as Tang Bai did not allow them to leak and let them keep secrets for themselves, it would be impossible for Gargson or Bellatrix to reveal the slightest bit of Tang Bai's reluctance.

Secrets known to others.

But the deepest secret in Tang Bai's heart is too important, so no matter what, Tang Bai is willing to suppress the possibility of exposure to a minimum. For this reason, Tang Bai not only practiced Occlumency, but also used Veritaserum

, Tang Bai had obtained a potion system resistance training plan for internal use only from the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic of each country through his connections.

Although in this world, except for the ancestors, most of the hypnosis of vampires can only be effective on humans, and witches are automatically immune to any hypnosis-like abilities. But Tang Bai knew very well that he was different from the witches here. No matter it was

There seems to be no big difference in bloodline, physique or strength system, but the difference is still not small.

Specious!

This is what Tang Bai is worried about.

The rules that are effective for witches are very likely to be invalid for him. Therefore, under the preparation of accident, even if he suddenly encounters abilities such as hypnosis and mind reading, Tang Bai will not feel helpless.

There is no solution.

Because abilities such as hypnosis, mind reading, and legilimens are all closely related to the brain that stores memories. According to reasoning, as long as the brain is protected well enough, these abilities can be invalidated.

In other words, Occlumency is a tough firewall.

It is not clear who is better or worse between this kind of acquired witchcraft and the natural hypnosis immunity of witches. But there is no doubt that Occlumency is a witchcraft that can be continuously grown and strengthened through tempering. And it has a wide range of applications.

, can isolate any power that peeps into the brain.

Although witches do not need to practice, it also determines the limitations of their innate abilities.

Of course, the sequelae of Occlumency is that when it is used, it is blocked along with one's own feelings, making people feel cold and cold and uncomfortable. The more powerful the Occlumency is, the more this feeling it brings to people.

strong.

"Hypnosis is not effective on me." Tang Bai said in a cold tone.

"Oh, I think my brother may have forgotten that you are a wizard, and he is a little impatient." Klaus put a hand on Elijah's broad shoulder, pulled his body back, and replied to Tang Bai in a relaxed tone.

One sentence. (To be continued.)
