Chapter 73 The Demoness Council
The other party didn't even give Shade a chance to refuse, and took that revolver Stuffed it to him:

"Sir, if you're not satisfied with the compensation, I'll leave you an address where Radees is temporarily renting. You can go to his apartment tomorrow and trade this gun for a replacement. more compensation."

Shade couldn't refuse and had to accept the gun. He lowered his head and looked towards the gun in his hand. His fingers actually touched a raised, imperceptible pattern on the surface of the gun body, which was interpreted as text, meaning "the gun of kindness".

It took a long time to nodded, and I don't understand what happened to my luck tonight.

Then got the address of Captain Radees, and sighed with a group of people about the topic of courage and loyalty, and then continued to find Miss Luysha. Of course, a formal suit can't be worn, but wearing a white shirt is not particularly disrespectful:
"But what is the purpose of this gun? Must it miss?"

He turned the revolver The gun was wrapped in a coat with one sleeve missing, thinking about it as he walked. But it's all for nothing, Shade likes items that don't cost money, and plans to ask the St. Byrons Library next Saturday.

While Shade was playing Rhodes under the grape trellis in the garden just now, the owner of this summer open-air banquet, the youngest son of Crowne Count, had already appeared in the courtyard.

It was dark now, but the atmosphere of the banquet was still good. People gather in groups of three or four, and young men and women go out to the garden in groups, mocked by their peers. Even if you don't like the atmosphere here, you can enjoy the night with a wine glass by yourself.

The Lakeview Manor is so huge that Shade didn't see Miss Luysha after turning around. But when he was looking at the manor house at the table, worried about Dr. Schneider and Augustus priority, he suddenly glanced and saw a girl with golden hair flashing by near the stables on the side of the courtyard.

The manor's stables are in the corner of the courtyard, which is not a banquet venue, so there are no candles and no gas lights. The neighborhood was dark, and ordinary guests wouldn't go there if they didn't want to do something private without being disturbed.

The girl with golden hair was not the only one Miss Luyesha, but Shade thought that the back she saw just now was very similar to the writer, so she avoided the sight of the nearby eyes and followed.

The manor itself is connected to the count's horse farm, and most of the stables inside the manor are prepared for the passenger carriage of the manor itself. After leaving the banquet area lit by the rays of light of candles and gas lamps, darkness fell on Shade's side, giving him an inexplicable feeling of having one's hair stand on end.

But that soon faded, as he was choked on by the choking smell of the stables:
"It turned out that the stables were built against the wall and deliberately away from the courtyard for that reason."

He felt like his eyes were about to burst into tears. The young stranger had never touched the stables, so naturally he didn't expect this to happen. Listening to the laughter of the woman in his head, he supported the innermost wall of the courtyard, with blurred tears, wondering if he should get closer. The unlit courtyard was already dim, and with the unstoppable tears, even if someone stood ten steps away from him, Shade would probably not be able to see:
"It's too bad, this body seems to have night blindness."

He couldn't help but think that looking at the open-air banquet venue in the distance, he could only see a blur of yellow rays of light. Looking at the stables not far away, although I didn't believe that a lady like Miss Luyisa would approach such a place, she cautiously took a few steps forward.

Although this body has night blindness, her hearing is quite good. He stood by the outer wall of the stable holding his breath, and then he really heard a voice inside, it was a man and a woman talking, but obviously there was no Miss Luyesha.

Now that they're here, Shade wants to hear what they're saying. Of course, it wasn't that he was eavesdropping on the sounds of men and women dating. After all, even if it was a date, it wouldn't come to such a place. This is not a country with nowhere to go. The cruise ship beside Hehu Lake is a better open-air bed for couples.

"Jenny, are you sure there's actually someone in the 'Council' in Tobesque?"

It was a man's voice, sounding about the same age as Dr. Schneider. His voice was muffled, like a wounded throat, and his accent was not Tobesque's native accent.

“Parliament? Political conspiracy?”

Shade thought.

Whether it is the kingdom of Delarion in the north or the United Kingdom of Carsonrick in the south, driven by the steam industrial revolution, it has completely stepped out of the feudal and even slave system. The political system here is the same as that of the Western Shade world Similar to the state, although the royal family still holds absolute power, the nobles have also formed a parliament.

"Yes, there is definitely a Great Demon woman from the 'Demoness Council' in Tobesque City, not even the Orthodox Church is aware of it. This is information I almost traded my life for, absolutely "

Shade didn't continue to listen, but carefully left, covering his mouth.

The word "Demoness" used by the lady Jenny just now has a special usage in the Delarion language. This word refers only to the female sorcerer of the fifth century.

The fifth era is the era of the Demoness, only women can become sorcerers, and the emperors of the Demoness are separate. With the end of the Fifth Age in an inexplicable way, the most powerful thirteen Emperors of Demonness all died, and the Sixth Age was officially opened.

Shade hadn't heard Dr. Schneider and the others mentioned the organization "Demoness Council", but after thinking about it, he realized that the organization that dared to name itself in this way, or it didn't understand anything, Either it really has something to do with those sorcerers of the fifth century.

So, Shade will slip away immediately. He wouldn't take part in such a thing that he knew there was a big trouble as soon as he heard it. The young detective yearned for a peaceful life. Besides, there is an orange cat, Mia, who needs his care temporarily, so he can't just die casually.

"However, this kind of large-scale open-air banquet is indeed dangerous, and any kind of people may appear."

Shade, who returned to the long table at Lake View Manor again, thought to himself. , but he didn't go to get the food, but carefully sniffed the cuff of his shirt, always feeling that the clothes were also stained with the smell of horse dung.

I walked around the manor again, but I still didn't find any trace of Miss Luisa, but I met with the entire group of Viscount Lavender, but Shade didn't join them about the game under the grape trellis discussion.

Because of Augustus' first order, Shade didn't dare to enter the lake view manor easily, so he thought about going back to the garden again to try one's luck.

It was getting a little late, but only a few guests left. The garden area behind the manor house, which is much larger than Saint DeLand Square, seems more secluded than when Shade left.

His footsteps also slowed down a bit. After entering the garden, he didn't dare to pick up the flowers or grass, for fear of disturbing others.

Unconsciously, he returned to the grape trellis again, but the stone table where everyone was playing cards just now was occupied by a young poet holding a wine glass and weeping. Shade had seen him at the long table in the courtyard before the sun had completely gone down, when the poet was trying to strike up a conversation with a young girl who was alone.
