Chapter 2579 Charlotte Bell

Dangdangdang~

As soon as the witch finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The young girl was obviously waiting outside.

Then Miss Winslet said directly:

"Please come in."

"This seems to be my room."

The eighteen-year-old sorceress complained softly, and then the three of them saw the door being pushed open, and a black-haired girl who looked about twenty years old walked in. Although her hair was short, she still tied it into a braid-like look.

The black-haired girl wore a white shirt and a black skirt. Her traditional black and white outfit made her look ordinary, but she actually had a pretty face. The head was slightly lowered, and the expression seemed a little sad, but Miss Winslet denied Shade's view.

She put down her thoughts on complicated issues and walked to the young girl's side with a smile:

"Let me introduce, this is my apprentice, and of course my most important assistant - Charlotte Bell. She always has this sad expression, but it is the same as Carina's maid who always has an expressionless face. , are their usual actions.”

Miss Shade and Miss Daniste smiled and nodded to Miss Bell respectively, and then the witch introduced to her apprentice:

"Charlotte, this is Professor Denister from St. Byrons. She is my new local friend. We all live in the hotel. The man next to me who does not look like a man is the professor's student. I mean the student who taught you the real thing: Shad Hamilton.

Don't worry, you two, the witch apprentice will not reveal the secrets obtained from the teacher. This is an important part of the apprenticeship contract. "

she added at last.

"Good evening, Professor, good evening, Mr. Hamilton."

The black-haired girl then spoke softly. Shade saw that her face was a little pale, as if she was in poor health, but his senses told Shade that this five-ring witch apprentice was quite healthy.

In short, the appearance of the pale Miss Charlotte Bell is in line with Shade's imagination of the "great witch of death". Miss Flora Winslet, an artist with a lively personality, does not look "dead" at all.

Because she travels around the Old World all year round to collect materials, Miss Winslet has about the same number of followers as the youngest witch, Miss Sylvia, and both are the smallest among the witches of this generation.

Only a few people, including Miss Bell, are with her all year round. Others serve as assistants to "artist Flora Winslet" to help her manage "Flora Gallery" and other business matters. For example, invitations to perform, book manuscript publishing, or oil painting exhibitions.

"Flora Gallery" is located in Willendale City, and there are only ten followers who followed Miss Bell to Vista City this time.

Although Shade couldn't get a room here, Miss Winslet could. They all lived in the guest room on the second floor, with the three girls sharing a room. Miss Bell served as an assistant and maid, and would later live in the suite in room 321 with Miss Winslet.

In order to keep the secrets of Shade and Miss Danister, after meeting Miss Bell, the Witch just asked two high-ring girls from the nine-person "assistant group" to come and meet them, and then arranged for Miss Bell to take care of them. We had supper together in Miss Denister's room.

She seemed to want to show off to Miss Danister that her apprentice was also very good, so the four of them told many stories about herself and Miss Bell during dinner.

This is how Shade knew that Miss Charlotte Bell was a girl of ordinary origin. She came into contact with the "Winslet Newspaper" while she was studying at a women's college. She wanted to become a full-time reporter after graduation, but was then killed by the witch who had not left the family at that time. Selected to become an apprentice.

Miss Bell, like most of the witch apprentices Shade knew, remained silent in the presence of witches. Only when Miss Winslet asked about their affairs at Willendale did she put down her knife and fork and answer the question softly.

Her Carsenlic dialect is very distinctive. Although it is not a standard Willendale accent, it matches her gentle and deep voice, which makes her voice very charming when she speaks.

"Charlotte brought the information we need. I know a very powerful person in Willendale. She made a copy of almost all the Gray Gloves' complete set of information on the Ximu Town era."

The witch said quite proudly after dinner, and Shade knew as soon as she heard this that she had gone to Miss Sylvia for help.

"And Charlotte also brought me an autographed letter from Princess Margaret of Anjou, which can help us open up a situation among the nobles in Vista City. Although I also know many local nobles, after all, I still Being a princess is more useful."

At this point, she remembered her follow-up investigation in the afternoon;

"When I came back in the evening, I was confused by the questions you asked. I haven't said anything about what I found out during the investigation.

It's like this, Shade, tomorrow night, Tuesday night, I'm afraid you have to go out with me. The local Earl Collins will hold a banquet for local celebrities and musicians who come to participate in the Moondance Festival concert.

The old Bennet family and Baron Cumming's family have all received invitations. I need you to confirm whether the old Bennet family and other members of Baron Cumming's family have been cursed by time. "

She sat on the sofa holding a tea cup, and then received a question from the red-haired girl:

"Why did Shade go with you and not with me?"

"Because to participate in this banquet, I have to use my identity."

Miss Winslet answered with a smile. Because she knew the relationship between Shad and Carina, she did not remind Shad of the precautions for attending the banquet:

"Danister, just lend us that relic when the time comes. I very much hope that this complicated blood relationship only exists between Baron Cumming and little Cumming."

She briefly explained the current investigation progress and the shocking facts discovered today to her apprentice, and then sat comfortably on the sofa and chatted with Miss Shade and Danister about Baron Cumming:

"No matter who gave birth to whom, we must first find out all the blood relationships of that family at tomorrow night's banquet, and then conduct a targeted investigation. Before that, I don't recommend taking too many actions against the Bennet family. , after all, there is still the [Tree Hole Association] watching in the dark.”

"Tomorrow I want to visit the Bennets' graves. Regarding the time curse, even if the body dies and the soul leaves, the power of the curse should still remain in the bones."

Shade suggested, actually wanting to see which "Bennet" is the debt collector whose "wife died early and gave up her three children" as Desire said.

The mermaid was definitely not looking for bones for Shade, so after confirming the identity, Shade had to go back in time to find the person. As for how to complete the "debt collection", Shade believes that the mermaid has her own way.

"That's fine. Flora, you can arrange for your followers to move around the city during the day tomorrow. Shade and I will go investigate the cemetery."

The red-haired girl said:

"I've been staying in the room these days. It's my turn to go out. You're here to guard the broom closet."

The gray-black-haired witch knew that this arrangement was appropriate. Her followers had just arrived and really needed her to arrange the subsequent investigation work. Although she regretted giving up the opportunity to go out to others, thinking about the banquet tomorrow night, she had no objection:

"That's fine, I can take advantage of the day to comb my hair. Charlotte is not around, and there is no one to even comb my hair."

After I finished speaking, I remembered another thing, so I said to the black-haired girl standing next to the sofa:

"Charlotte, do you still have that [Racial Legend·Elf] in your hand?"

"Yes, miss."

The witch pointed at Shade:

"Give that card to Mr. Hamilton. This is the reward I entrusted him with to help with the investigation."

Shade noticed that the young girl clenched her fists for a moment, but soon relaxed:

"Yes, miss."

Then the black-haired girl pursed her lips and lowered her head, and took out her deck of cards from the card box hanging on the side of her skirt. It seemed that there was no chance to play cards tonight, but she took the Rhodes cards with her. He is a very professional Rhodes player.

The witch apprentice skillfully spread out the deck to look for that special card. Seeing her like this, Shade hesitated for a moment, and then stopped her:

"Hold on."

He also took out his deck of cards from his pocket:

"I have nothing to do tonight. Since that [Racial Legend·Elf] is in your deck, how about we play a game of Rhodes? If you win, that card will stay in your deck. Here, I will challenge again next month; if I win, you can give me that card now."

Miss Winslet and Miss Daniste immediately looked over with interest, but the black-haired girl shook her head:

"That card does not belong to me. It is the property of the lady, and it is your reward for accepting the commission."

With that said, he took out the cards and handed them to Shade.

[Racial Legend·Elf], 10 flowers. The card showed a dense forest, with a long-haired elf girl wearing a cloak drawing a long bow. The appearance of the elf girl was no match for the mysterious elf in the forest.

Special rules are written below the card:

[If the number of cards in your hand is greater than or equal to 2 when this card is drawn, this card can be adjusted between 10 and 11. 】

"Simple but quite useful rules. The early special rules of Rhodes cards were not as complicated and useless as they are now."

Shade commented, but did not take the card. Instead, he raised his head and said to the standing black-haired girl:

"You really don't want to play a game with me? You know my name is Shad Hamilton, and I'm the 1853 Big City Players champion."

The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she subconsciously took a small step back:

"Is it you? I just thought it was Mr. Hamilton, the legendary player of the same name, Ray Jade!"

Shade smiled and asked again:

"You really don't want to play a game with me? Have you read the recent "Three Penny News"? [Foundation·Light] has been identified, and there are eight cards in the Founding series in my deck."
