Lord of Secrets

Chapter 23 23. Dance

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing carving the charm, Ubermo planned to go shopping on the Tulip Street in Nebel District, and then encountered a wild witch.

Ubermore in disguise came to Tulip Street, surrounded by townhouses, each room crowded with dozens of people.

There were washing ladies washing clothes, old men making matches, and thin children helping...

Ubermo, who was wearing a deerstalker hat, gently lowered his deerstalker hat, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Not knowing where Miss "Continuation"'s home was, Ubermo walked aimlessly from the street to the end of the street.

Nearing the end of the street, a house stood out from the rest.

The wooden door is a bit old and the white walls have fallen off a lot, making the house look a little dilapidated.

It's just that compared to other houses where the doors are open and the women are working, the wooden door of this house is closed.

At this time, the wooden door creaked and slowly opened.

Sijiada, who was wearing a simple light white dress, was coming out with a bag of things in her hands.

Ubermo looked at Sijiada's slightly messy black hair, deep wine-red eyes, and somewhat lazy expression, and felt that his heart was beating much faster, but he calmed down immediately.

In fact, if he didn't know Sigarda's true nature, Ubermo would have gone as far as he could against the witch. It would have been too dangerous. After all, he was a strong person with the 6th position.

Very good, very powerful...Ubermo had to admire that mysterious sealed object. Although Ubermo had plans to meet the other party, he couldn't bear every "encounter" like this.

Just as Sijiada was about to go out to throw away the garbage, she suddenly met the man dressed as a detective whom she saw yesterday. Her blood flow suddenly accelerated and she felt her face was a little red, but she still looked at the man.

Short black hair, and those golden eyes... She recalled seeing His Majesty Ubemo in the newspaper when he attended the funeral of Emperor Somervish, who was serious and majestic.

Soon, the appearance of His Majesty Ubermo in the memory overlapped with the figure of the man in front of him.

She quickly lowered her head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Umbermo!"

Just like the ugly duckling meeting the swan, the other person is the emperor, and he is just a humble commoner.

That’s why I said this is a fake witch... Umbermo sighed, and then asked:

"May I have your name?"

"Sgarda, Your Majesty, Sgarda Allenworth." Sikada said quickly, a little cautiously.

"Sijada, don't be so nervous. I'm just a person. You can call me Ubermo." Ubermo tried to keep his tone calm and calm.

Perhaps because of Ubermo's current clothing and his somewhat magnetic voice, Scarlett felt a little more relaxed.

"Umbermo... Your Majesty!" Although Ubermo said this, Scarlett still couldn't say it.

"You are too nervous, Scarda. I will come and see you next time. Then I will invite you to play in Fuwei Garden. I think you and my knight must have a lot in common!" Ubermore said casually. He said something, then waved to Sijiada and left immediately.

Hmm... Ubermo, Ubermo left... What a disappointment, Scarlett! You are a witch... But Ubermo has a really gentle personality and soft eyes. He is not as rich and aggressive as what he saw in the newspaper before... and he often wears these clothes to come out to see the common people. What is their reaction... And he also invited me to Fuwei Garden... That should be his home... He is a good man, Scarlett, you shouldn't steal from him... Scarlett threw away the bag Garbage, walking back to the hut in a daze.

She is really an innocent little witch. Could it be that she was promoted directly by taking the witch's extraordinary properties? It seems that I need to train a few more times, otherwise I will really be unqualified...Pfft! Suddenly I felt like a bad person... Ubermo found a rickshaw on the roadside, told him a location near the Vina Palace, threw a pound to him, and then refused his change.

Back in Fuwei Garden, Ubermo reviewed and signed some of the remaining documents, so that there would be far fewer documents in the future. Unless those aristocratic members have nothing to do and are full of food all day long. In order to improve their merits, they constantly submit bill documents.

It's not impossible... Ubermore muttered, signed the final documents, put them on the desk, and waited for Secretary General Zhenlund to come over to sort them out and distribute them to the corresponding agencies.

The next day at eight o'clock in the morning, Ubermo still went to Bernard's Holy Land, and then returned to Fuwei Garden at 12 noon.

Wait for lunch and then return to the Bernard Shrine Vault.

As for eight o'clock in the evening, the masquerade ball hosted by Duke Isa will begin.

At seven o'clock, Ubermo disguised himself, put on an evening dress, then put on a black goat mask that Rebeltina had bought, put it in his arms, and then took a carriage and set off.

The ball was held at another of Duke Isa's estates, the Rose Manor in the Elsa District to the east.

At this time, no one had arrived outside Rose Manor. The nobles usually arrive at about the time the ball is about to begin. This is a kind of etiquette that allows the host of the banquet to have time to arrange and plan.

Therefore, the carriage Ubermo rode in was extremely conspicuous and ordinary. There were still some small bumps on the black frame. This was because the frame was repainted after it became rusty.

Ubermore generously gave the other party a reward of 1 pound, and took out the invitation letter from Duke Isa under the somewhat suspicious eyes of the janitor.

The invitation letter looked gorgeous, with beautiful lines, embroidered patterns, and gold threads on the edges.

Although Ubemo asked Farran not to make the invitation letter too special, he still gave the highest level invitation letter.

The gatekeeper checked it and nodded to the guard next to him.

It was only about 7:30 when Ubemo entered the manor and was led by Isa to an inconspicuous room in the corner of the second floor.

There were bookshelves with many books, a sofa, and a smooth small round table.

This is located on the second floor of the banquet ballroom. From the gate to the depths, there is a wide staircase, and then it is divided into two spiral staircases on the platform.

From the corridor on the second floor, you can clearly see the every move of people in the ballroom.

Ubemo put on the black goat mask, and then casually looked at the books on the bookshelf. The ability of "historian" made him not find any mysterious books in it.

Bored Ubemo could only pick up one of the hardcover books at random.

"The Reality of the World"

The title page reads "by Elski".

As time slowly passed, the huge clock on the spiral staircase platform made eight "ding" sounds, and the time was already 8 o'clock.

Ubermo walked out of the room, came to the corridor on the second floor, and looked downstairs quietly.

There were also some noble young men or noble ladies wearing various strange masks standing on the second floor, some gathered together, talking happily, or alone, looking at the people in the ballroom.

At this time, Duke Isa was wearing a black tuxedo, a white tie, and his shiny leather boots walked slowly on the tiles.

He was not wearing a mask.

He came to the high platform of the stairs, then coughed, and then said: "Tonight is your carnival time, everyone can speak freely and have a wonderful party."

After that, he walked down the high platform and went to the reception room on the inside.

The lights in the ballroom dimmed, and the light and shadows intertwined, reflecting the shadows of everyone.

There were many round tables around the ballroom, with all kinds of food on them, strawberry cakes, pies, baked lobsters, Emil wine... Each table was enough for ordinary people to live for several years.

The nobles began to enter the venue, inviting the women they had talked to before to be their dance partners tonight.

As the classical and brisk music sounded, the fragrance of lilac, lily, and sleeping flowers mixed together, and the people who drank began to get excited and danced.

Smelling these flowers, Ubemo instantly understood Duke Isa's thoughts. First, provoke their emotions, and then someone secretly guides them, it is easy to make them speak freely.

As an extraordinary person, Ubemo can clearly hear what people say in the ballroom, but now they are just talking about love.

At this time, on the second floor, a woman who had rejected everyone's approaching walked slowly towards him.

She wore a bark-like mask, revealing only a pair of black pupils, wearing a gorgeous long skirt, short sleeves, and a hint of white at the neck.

She walked to Ubermo, then she held her hands on the smooth wooden railing and whispered: "Sleeping flowers, plus lilac and lily... this has a hypnotic and stimulating effect."

After a pause, she turned her head, looked at Ubermo with her calm black eyes, and asked:

"What do you think Duke Isa wants to do?"

Ubermo's golden pupils looked up at her, and then said:

"This will help the climax of the ball!"

The woman then turned her head to look at the people below whose bodies were close to each other from time to time. Even with the mask on, , but it is still not difficult to see the excitement in their eyes, and then said: "Although Duke Isa will hold a ball, he has never done so before, and he also invited an "audience" from the Psychological Rescue Association."

"What do you think he wants to invite the "audience" for? I am very curious, so I came here today to see what he is going to do."

Auntie, you are idle... Too curious will easily kill you quickly... You will not survive more than two episodes in the drama, I said...Ubermo complained in his heart, do others have to report to you about what they do?

Before Ubermo spoke, the woman said meaningfully: "I have observed everyone present, and you give me a familiar feeling, like a person, and suddenly I figured it out."

"Am I not a human?" Ubermo said with narrowed eyes.

The woman smiled and said:

"This is not funny, Ubermo Yurna!"
