The Whispering Verses Chapter 2580: Charlotte Bell
Chapter 2579 Charlotte Bell
Dangdangdang~
After the witch finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The young girl was obviously waiting outside.
So 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 is wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. Her traditional black and white outfit makes her look very ordinary, but in fact her face is quite handsome. 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 you, this is my apprentice, and of course my most important assistant-Charlotte Bell. She always has this sad expression, but this is not the same as Carina's maid. Expressionless is their usual behavior."
Miss Shade and Miss Danister smiled and nodded to Miss Bell respectively, so the witch introduced to her apprentice:
"Charlotte, this is Professor Denister from St. Byrons. She is my new local friend. We are all staying in the hotel. The man next to me who does not look like a man is the professor. By student, I mean the student who teaches true skills: 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 apprentice contract. ”
She added finally.
"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 perception 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 information, the number of followers of Miss Winslet is similar to that of the youngest witch, Miss Sylvia, and both are the smallest among the witches of this generation.
Only a few people such as Miss Bell are with her all year round. The others serve as assistants to "artist Flora Winslet" to help her manage "Flora Gallery" and other businesses. things, such as invitations to performances, publication of book manuscripts 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 can't get a room here, Miss Winslet can. 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 Daniste, after meeting Miss Bell, the Witch just asked two high-ring girls from the nine-person "assistant group" to meet them, and then arranged for Miss Bell Zhang Luo had dinner 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 why Shade knew that Miss Charlotte Bell was a girl of ordinary background. She came into contact with the "Winslet Newspaper" while attending a women's college and wanted to become a full-time reporter after graduation. However, she was not allowed to leave at that time. The witch of the family was chosen 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 Kassenric speaking is very distinctive. Although it is not a standard Willendale accent, it matches her gentle and low voice, which makes her voice very charming when she speaks.
"Charlotte brought the information we need. I know very powerful people in Willendale. She made a copy of almost all the Gray Gloves' complete set of information on the Ximu Town era. ”
After dinner, the witch said quite proudly, and Shade knew as soon as she heard that she went 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, But after all, 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, and 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.
Both the old Bennet family and Baron Cumming's family have 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 teacup, and then received a question from the red-haired girl:
"Why did Shade go with you and not me?"
"Because I have to use my identity to participate in this banquet."
Miss Winslet replied 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 Miss 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 do not recommend launching an investigation into the Bennet family. Too many actions, after all, there is still the [Tree Hole Association] watching in the dark.”
"Tomorrow I want to visit the Bennets' graves. As for the curse of time, even if the body dies and the soul leaves, the power of the curse should still remain in the bones."
Xia De suggested that he actually wanted to see which "Bennet" was the debt collector whose "wife died early and gave away three children" as Desire said.
What the mermaid wanted Shade to find was definitely not bones, so after confirming the identity, Shade had no choice but 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, and Shade and I will go investigate the cemetery."
The red-haired girl said:
"I have been staying in the room these days. It is my turn to go out. You are here to guard the broom closet."
The gray-black-haired witch knew that this arrangement was appropriate, and that her followers had just arrived in the local area 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 good, I can just comb my hair during the day. Charlotte is not around, and no one even helps me 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, ma'am."
The witch pointed at Shade:
"Give that card to Mr. Hamilton. This is the reward for entrusting him to help with the investigation."
Xia De noticed that the young girl clenched her fists for a moment, but soon released them:
"Yes, ma'am."
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 carried Rhodes cards with her. At first glance, this 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:
"Wait a moment."
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 with you. In the deck, I will challenge again next month; if I win, you can give me that card now.”
Miss Winslet and Miss Danister 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."
As he said that, 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. 】
"Unpretentious but quite useful rules, the early special rules of Rhodes cards were not as complicated and useless as they are now."
Xia De commented, but did not take the card, but 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 am 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 of the legendary player of the same name, Rejed!"
Xia De smiled and asked again:
"You really don't want to play a game with me? Have you read the latest "Three Penny News"? [Original Light] has been identified, and there are eight cards in the Founder series in my deck."
