Chapter 1769 "The Immortal Miss" and the Eve of the Banquet
Before lunch, in the southeast corner of the living room of Room [-] on the second floor of Xia De's house, there was such a glass cover filled with metal butterflies. Xia De was very satisfied with this consumption.

As for purchasing the picture frame from Old John, it was for the "Mermaid" oil painting. "Desire" asks Xia De to hang it at home, and claims that the oil painting itself no longer has extraordinary power, but Xia De will not be relieved by this.

He was worried that Old John would be affected, so he didn't leave the work of mounting to him, but did it himself.Although foreigners themselves are not proficient in the work of mounting, but fortunately this work is not very difficult.For safety, during the mounting process, he even carefully painted the holy emblem of the old god - "God of Love" on the white pad between the oil painting and the wooden backboard.

Then, to be on the safe side, the holy emblems of the five righteous gods were added, and then the oil painting was fixed on the pad with canvas tape, and the edge of the oil painting was attached to the inside of the frame.

After doing this, the colorful oil painting was quietly sealed in the glass plate.The "mermaid" with orange-red hair looked out of the picture with a half-smile in the painting. Xia De held the oil painting and stared blankly for a second before looking away.Even if it really has no elemental response now, the mermaid in this painting is still beautiful.

The only thing left to consider was where to hang the painting.Xia De would definitely not hang this oil painting in his bedroom, he couldn't stand waking up in the middle of the night or seeing "desire" staring at him when he was waking up in the middle of the night or hugging a girl - it was very bad for his health.

But it’s not good to hang it in a room that you don’t often visit at home. Xia De hopes that he can see this painting once a day to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the painting.

"How about hanging it in the living room?"

There are actually quite a few decorations on the walls of the living room. Shade’s Knight’s Sword, the champion certificate of the players in the big city, the shield of the champion prize of the Ring Riding Competition, and his honorary doctorate certificate are all there. Haila Oxenfurt The portrait in the snow for Shad is in the dining room.

"But in this way, everyone who comes to visit will see it. Isn't this very dangerous?"

At least for now, Xia De can't feel any abnormality from the oil painting in his hand, but this does not rule out the possibility that this painting will suddenly go crazy one day.

After debating for a while, he decided to hang the oil painting on the wall between the two windows in the living room, outside of this wall is the Saint Teresa Square.Moreover, he found a piece of black cloth as a curtain, and when he was not at home, he covered the painting with the cloth to prevent Mia from being affected when she was alone at home.

"It looks pretty good."

He didn't want to damage the walls of his home, so he used a special alchemical glue to glue the frames to the walls.After busy work, I looked up at this oil painting with a high level of art and aesthetics, and felt a great sense of satisfaction in my heart.He felt that his house was completely worthy of such a beautiful oil painting.

"Meow~"

"Understood, it's time for lunch. Do cats have no art appreciation level at all? Mia, don't you understand what beauty is?"

At least in this cat's eyes, the painting is nothing like a good lunch that pleases the cat.

Although he had to attend an important banquet tonight, Xia De still chose to go out after lunch.The destination this time was Lengshui Port. In order not to delay things at night, he quickly came to the old lighthouse on the sea cliff and met Mr. Edmond.

I came here also for the three strange items I encountered in the "Black Mist Camp".Granny Natalie and Old John of the Guiding Light Priory each knew one of them, and Mr. Edmond, an old folklorist living in the offshore area, naturally knew the remaining gray fossil conch.

"This is really rare."

The old man commented on the conch in this way, and gave specific information about the relic:

"The clerical-level relic [Immortal Missing], the number of this kind of conch is unknown, but it only appears on the beach. People who miss the dead walk on the beach. When their grief and longing reach the extreme, then their From the corner of the eye, you may catch a glimpse of the corner of the legendary 'River of Styx', at this time there must be one such conch washed ashore by the waves, this is [Undying Longing]. "

"That story sounds good."

Sitting on the sofa at the bottom of the lighthouse, Xia De said that Mia was taking a nap and didn't follow, and he was talking to Mr. Edmond alone:

"Then what are the properties of a conch?"

"Wet the conch with sea water, and then stick the conch to the ear, and you can hear the voice of the dead person who misses you. Similarly, after soaking the conch in sea water, call the name of the dead, then you can temporarily attract the dead, but In this way, the relic will be consumed. As for the negative characteristics, it may not be the undead that is missed, but other weird things."

The old man shook his head:

"In my opinion, don't stay if you have to go. It's best not to try similar relics, and don't try any moves that span life and death. This is not good for everyone."

Now Shade understood that the old lady Miles' attempt at the Black Mist Camp was ineffective because the conch they got was not washed up from the sea, so it wasn't wet by the sea.In this way, he only needs to bring sea water next time to solve this trouble.Although there are still some problems in the camp, the old lady's wish should be resolved.

"Can all undead be summoned?"

Just to be on the safe side, Shad asked again, and Mr. Edmond really shook his head:

"It must be an undead whose soul is free after death. If the soul has turned into a powerful wraith, captured, solidified, imprisoned or even destroyed, naturally it will not work."

Xia De nodded cautiously, and then asked about the old god [Gold Master] again.

Time flies by, the sun in the sky is gradually slanting westward, at five o'clock in the afternoon, on the northern shore of Lake Green in the middle of the old continent, in the master bedroom of the witch cruise ship on the Duin River, a beautiful witch is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, humming a song, and expressing her mood Nice to have her maids check the hairstyle and tiara for her one last time.

Outside the window is the light rain in spring, which makes the Green Lake City under the sunset seem to have entered the night ahead of schedule.But this didn't affect Megan's good mood. She looked at herself in the mirror, and then smiled confidently:
"Mirror, mirror, who is the wisest and most beautiful lady in the world?"

Of course the mirror would not answer.

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening, and then Xia De, who was wearing a black formal attire, entered the room.The arrival of the handsome detective made all the witches and maids in the room smile. The charm that is completely different from the witch is very attractive to the girls.

"It's pretty good."

Megan said to Shad reflected in the mirror.

From Xia De's point of view, Megan has made her shawl hair longer today to facilitate hairstyles.She was wearing a dark blue gown with a three-tiered lace skirt that almost dragged the floor.The position of the waist is extraordinarily slender, and the girdle inside the clothes particularly highlights her waist line, adding a more elegant and refined feeling to the overall shape of the witch's body.

"How about it?"

Seeing Xia De looking at her, Megan signaled the maids to step back, then turned around and asked Xia De with a smile while holding the hem of the skirt, so the skirt bloomed like a blooming flower.

"Pretty good, can you dance with me later?"

Xia De, who was already familiar with this kind of noble banquet process, asked, and Megan transformed into Audrey:

"of course can."

Her heels tapped the floor, and she approached Shad and gave him a hug:
"You look pretty good too. I thought I needed to ask the maid to take care of it for you. In my opinion, you are not the kind of man who is willing to spend time cleaning himself up."

It's true that Xia De didn't clean it up by himself. Rezia came here with her maid to prepare clothes for Xia De.Although she still regretted that she could not go to Green Lake to participate in this important negotiation, she would not have anything to do with it because of this.

"What identity do we use to participate? What is written in the invitation?"

Xia De asked curiously, sniffing the nice perfume. It was getting late, and it was almost time to set off.

The maid handed the gold-plated invitation to Audrey's hand wearing lace white gloves, and she said with a smile:

"In the name of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals. You should remember that Ms. Sarah Kaufman, the daughter of the Earl of Chichester and wife of Mr. Roland Kaufman, the mayor, invited me a few weeks ago. This This banquet is very important, I will introduce you to my businessman friends and local nobles, oh, there is also a very important friend of mine."

Xia De tried his best not to show any expression changes at this moment, but Miss Galina's smiling face still couldn't help but pop up in his head:

"Yes, you have said it many times. When you introduce your friend to me, I will also tell you who I belong to. Well, I hope you will not be too surprised. I allow you to give me a punch."

"I also hope you won't be too surprised, but what do I punch you for?"

The witch is in a pretty good mood, she thinks she has made all the preparations.After beckoning to Xia De, Xia De leaned forward again, thinking that she had something important to say, but the brown-haired girl just kissed his side face:
"Let's go, I hope everyone can have a good time tonight."

Xia De felt uneasy, he only knew that at least Miss Galina would definitely have a good time.

It has been a long time since Green Lake City has visited a real big man like Grand Duke Galina Cavendish, so although tonight's banquet will only be held at the Rose Manor, and only local nobles and celebrities will be invited, the entire city center The streets are purposely cleaned and refurbished.

Shad and Audrey set off from the pier by the river in a carriage. When the bright gas lamps were moving away from the car window, Audrey also showed Shad the small gift she had prepared according to the etiquette—a The bottle is from the 1823 red wine produced by Roman Winery in the Huntington area.
