Chapter 3317 Showing off and tracking

Carina could understand the meaning of the question. The people at the table were all trustworthy people, and the one asking the question was her grandfather's great-granddaughter. Although the Duchess holding the peacock feather fan was a generation younger than her, she looked ten years older than her.

"Yes, my sleep quality has been very good recently, especially after the year-end holidays."

Carina answered in this way, and all the ladies at the table laughed.

"Besides, I've been reading some of Artek's novels recently."

Karina picked up a biscuit and dipped it in jam, continuing.

There are many well-known writers in the art city of Artek, and many of their books are particularly bold and avant-garde in describing erotic content or extramarital affairs. Therefore, she expressed in this way that she did not mind them asking about her privacy.

Queen Diana even said:

"It seems that Carina has begun to appreciate Master Midlo's artwork just like us."

The master sculptor is famous for his realistic and rich details in his depictions of nude bodies.

The ladies at the table then laughed and joked about the rumor that the master had recently been stabbed with a carving knife by his apprentice and lover, under the cover of the loud singing on the stage. Then someone, based on their experience, warned Carina to "be careful about problems with the family doctor," that is, things like unexpected pregnancies.

Then someone joked that "Although the knight is handsome, looking at his appearance, Carina should not worry about 'Villandel disease'", which means that Shade will not cheat and is very loyal to Carina. "Villandel disease" is actually a sexual disease, and it is a common saying to blame the disease on "foreign countries" to deflect moral stigma.

They were all excited to pass on their experiences and lessons of family life to Carina, who had finally become their "companion", so that everyone was equal and united in this private conversation.

They were careful to avoid sensitive topics when the performance was quiet, and used metaphors when the actors sang loudly. Finally, someone asked this question:

"Galina, although we haven't officially gotten married yet, a harmonious family life is a very important issue. How do you get along with that knight?"

It seems to be asking whether personalities and life details can be tolerated by each other, but in fact it is asking about more private matters.

The red-haired Duchess took the handkerchief from Tifa behind her, smiled and thought for a moment, then motioned for everyone to look at the stage. Sometimes real animals were used in opera performances, but in this VIP room, real horses were not allowed to appear for the sake of the indoor smell.

So in this story involving the "Groom's Daughter", the performers used a "mechanical horse" instead of a real horse. Although the color and material are a bit out of place, thanks to the extremely high level of mechanical and steam power technology of this era, this mechanical horse can not only make sounds and rotate its tail, head and limbs, but also move on its own according to a certain trajectory.

"Shad, I mean the knight and I get along very well. He is wilder than the strongest horse. I mean his character."

Many ladies at the table covered half of their faces with fans or handkerchiefs to hide their expressions. This sentence was indeed a bit explicit, but looking at the expression on Karina's face when she said this, those who were "experienced" could imagine the scene.

"I've heard from the servants that the champions of the previous 'Tobesk City Riding Competition' would receive many handkerchiefs after leaving the competition venue. Karina, it seems that the championship in 1854 is yours alone."

The wife of Uncle Carina's youngest son, the blonde marquise, said with a smile, and then someone even said:

"Hamilton of Rejade is the youngest winner of the Ring City Riding Competition in the past twenty years. The sword of such a young knight must be very sharp, right?"

"Cough cough."

Queen Diana coughed amidst the laughter and looked at the ladies at the table with a warning look:

"Today's tea seems a little too strong."

The queen's personal maid hurried to change the tea, which actually meant that the topic had crossed the line, but it did not destroy the atmosphere of the ladies' private conversation.

"Knight's sword."

Ms. Carina thought about what happened last night, and even she blushed slightly.

Because of Queen Diana's warning, the topic was now shifting to whether a gold bracelet would be better matched with a ruby ​​or a diamond. So even though the witch knew she shouldn't say such things, she still suddenly interrupted:

"I've also been thinking about changing my bracelet recently. After all, a knight's wrist is thicker than mine."

This sentence was completely illogical, but the ladies at the table blinked and cast their eyes on Carina's slender wrist. After a moment of silent assessment, the table suddenly became quiet. Even Queen Diana held up her teacup to cover the lower half of her face, and those eyes that could definitely be called "envious" were all cast towards Carina after this moment of silence.

The Duchess used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth to hide her expression, but she was actually very proud in her heart. Carina Cavendish had the best things since she was a child, and this was still the case even when she grew up - her lover was the youngest and most handsome.

The result of this afternoon tea party was that Carina Cavendish was no longer suspected by the church of being a witch of the [Witch Council].

Of course, it was another matter that Shad soon discovered that he always received inexplicable letters and even invitations when he attended parties in Tobesk.

At this time, Shad didn't know what his Duchess was talking about. When he got up and left the small VIP room, he found that the traces of the elements did not come from inside the door but outside the door.

The "Tobysk Grand Opera House" is the only one of the three largest opera houses in the city with a courtyard. The VIP room is located on the first floor, with a corridor outside the door and outside the corridor is the small garden of the opera house, where performances are also held in the summer.

At the doorway diagonally opposite, a strange blond girl leaning against a pillar was talking to a black-haired man. The former looked about twenty years old, while the latter looked close to thirty.

The two of them were talking very happily, and Shade just glanced at them and walked towards the bathroom:

"That ring."

The traces of the strange pink magic came from the ruby ​​ring on the man's finger, which was obviously engraved with rune rituals. Because Shade was very familiar with the Pink Book, even after just a glance, he roughly guessed that the function of the ring was to greatly increase the attraction to the opposite sex.

However, that should be an active effect rather than a passive effect. Shade guessed that the triggering method was probably "lifting the ring and shaking it in front of someone" or "rubbing the ring surface twice."

However, the black-haired man wearing the ring was obviously just an ordinary person. This incident seemed to be the same as what Shade had guessed, that an ordinary person who had obtained the alchemical item could not control his desire and tried to use extraordinary power to benefit himself.

This kind of thing is more common than relics getting out of control. Generally, when encountering this kind of thing, there is no need for an elite team like the one Iluna belongs to. Just send a low-level warlock to solve it yourself.

Since Xia De had come out, he naturally wanted to deal with the matter. He walked along the corridor and wanted to go to the bathroom first, and then talk to the two people when he came back. But he didn't expect that as soon as he turned the corner along the corridor surrounding the courtyard, he saw a person dressed as an actor hurriedly walking towards the two people.

After the stranger spoke a few words to the black-haired man, the black-haired man left with the stranger dressed as an actor.

"What is going on here?"

There was basically no one inside the opera house in the afternoon, and the few troupes or theater staff who borrowed the performance hall didn't care about a beautiful silver cat walking around - it looked like a pet left behind by the ladies who came to watch the performance.

So Xia De chased the two men from a distance until he saw them walk into the sundry warehouse in the corner of the first floor of the opera house, which stored replacement supplies used in the theater and various sundries for performances.

Shadcat waited outside for a while but didn't hear any sound. He looked around and changed back to human form. Of course, his appearance and height changed slightly during this process. After confirming that the illusion was fine, he knocked on the door.

dong dong dong~

After waiting for a few more seconds, there was still no sound, so he gently pushed the door with his right hand, and it opened by itself. Xia De entered the warehouse sideways, and saw that it was pitch black. He groped back, but couldn't find the door.

This place is not simply dark, but filled with rolling black fog. This black fog has no toxins or mental harm, it just purely blocks all aspects of detection capabilities.

Seeing that he couldn't find the door, Xia De stopped looking and stood still. A few seconds later, a metallic luster appeared from behind him, and then a small dagger stabbed at his back. But as the golden light expanded, the Hiton seal directly bounced the figure behind him away.

The attacker wanted to hide again after rolling into the black fog, but it was too late since he had already been discovered by Shade. The black chain slid along the ground, and as the man holding the dagger rolled silently and neatly, the chain took advantage of his rolling action to directly entangle him.

So the battle was over, with both body and spirit restrained by the [Chains of Sin], the fourth-ring warlock had no chance of breaking free from Shad's restraints.

The black fog summoned by magic in the warehouse gradually dissipated, and before the ringmaster saw the chains, a yellow moonlight ring flew out of Shad's hand and bound his hands and feet, and then the chains disappeared.

It was precisely because he had just confirmed that the level of this strange actor was only four rings that Xia De followed him so rashly.

The interruption of the magic caused the black fog to dissipate quickly, and the fourth-ring warlock was unable to break free. The black-haired man with the alchemical ring on his hand was now unconscious in the corner of the warehouse, covered by a pile of suits and costumes.

Shade then walked over and tried to take off the ring, but the ring wizard behind him who was controlled by the "Moonlight Ring" hurriedly stopped him;

"Don't touch that ring!"
