Mystery: Order and Disorder

No matter what, Grelint temporarily believed the two pieces of information given by Carroll in the dream.

This is due to two considerations:

One is that he had a similar guess, and the other was that when he was in Backlund, after all, thanks to her help, he joined the "Hermit of Destiny" party smoothly, so the two of them were somewhat friendly. .

"If this dream is really her using her extraordinary ability to remind me intentionally... I should owe her another favor."

Thinking about it, Grelint couldn't help but have a headache. Although he was still grateful for the kindness of the other party, he didn't like the feeling of owing others something. The best way is to directly complete this kind of information in a transactional way. comminicate.

……

At noon, Joan, who was out for fun, and Shirley, who was investigating the rich man Sid Jeff, both returned.

She winked at Shirley calmly and motioned her to talk later. Grelint said hello to Joan:

"Good noon, Joan. How are you, are you having a good time?"

Qiong dodged her eyes for a moment and said perfunctorily:

"It's great, I saw a lot of interesting scenery."

Grelin nodded, not knowing what to talk about...According to common sense, he should follow her words and ask what interesting scenery is there?

Unfortunately, he really has no interest in it, and at the same time, he doesn't want to have such a meaningless chat with Joan.

"That... Grelint, I have something to discuss with you."

After a few seconds of silence, Joan first spoke in a low voice.

Grelint glanced at her silently, and said slowly without any emotion:

"Okay, let's go to the reception room."

"No, no, it's a small matter..."

Joan waved her hand eagerly, raised her head, and explained:

"That's it, I want to move out and live, so I won't bother you anymore."

She didn't explain any reason, because this was a test of his attitude, so after saying this, she stared straight into Grelint's eyes.

Grelint was a little stunned, but breathed out silently. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring it up... In fact, the two of them didn't think about it clearly at the time. They only had the idea of ​​holding a group to warm up when they first arrived in the Southern Continent. , without taking into account that there will be personal emotional involvement in the long run.

"it is good."

"This is just a trivial matter. In fact, you can inform the housekeeper directly."

He deliberately showed an attitude of indifference, and he did not hold back politely.

Some things, when they are interrupted, are bound to be chaotic.

The look in Joan's eyes was hard to hide.

Afterwards, she withdrew her gaze and nodded as if nothing had happened. Without lunch, she returned to her room alone.

…………

Shirley witnessed this scene all the way, and vaguely understood their implied meaning. She couldn't help but glance at Grelint in surprise... She always thought that Grelint and Joan were almost already an unofficial husband and wife relationship. Although they lived in the same house, she actually knew that the two had no substantial relationship for the time being.

She didn't ask anything presumptuously, but said to Grelint in an official manner:

"I checked it out."

"The information given by 'Pitviper' is completely fabricated and not at all true. Sid did have an affair with the widow, but it was completely of the woman's will. After her husband and son died in a plague, Unable to make a living..."

"What are these 'Gnatic Society' people doing!"

Grelint was agitated and didn't have any clues, so he didn't have the mood to think calmly:

"Then you just ignore his mission, then stand guard in West Germany, and when they send other people to assassinate him, you will try to kill the assassin to complete the role."

After he finished speaking in one breath, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he should not teach Shirley how to act for the time being.

Forget it, I can only hope she hadn't noticed this slightly different wording.

"Also, take the 'Witch's Makeup Mirror' over, remember not to be stubborn, be ready to run for your life at any time, and turn back to me for help."

"Well, remember to find time to learn from Aphra as to how to contact me."

He actually really hoped that Shirley could take this opportunity to join the "Gnatic Society", but there was no way. He didn't expect that the first mission goal they gave would completely go against his and Shirley's values.

Shirley agreed, and she was in a good mood. She had thought that Grelint signed her as a follower, and she might be asked to perform some deadly tasks at any time...

————————————————————————

At seven o'clock in the evening, in the downtown area, in Piero's mansion.

Grelint glanced at the decoration and display here, and was a little disappointed... This is not as good as his own small villa in the West End.

In fact, he didn't really want to come to this party at first, but thinking that this was proposed by Morgan, there might be some conspiracy, so he stopped the idea of ​​resting at home.

He didn't know yet, this dinner was originally arranged for him.

……

A dinner party is different from a dance party. The form of such a party should be a little more fixed, and its theme is a banquet and food. This form of gathering is common in Intis, and Loen is relatively rare, but in the colonies, banquets are more common than dances, except for the gatherings of a few pure Loen people.

Of course, the theme is eating, but the fundamental purpose of parties is to socialize.

After Pieru and other key figures finished their speeches, the servants quickly filed in and arranged a series of food.

Since most of the people in this gathering are businessmen, and the Intis and Loen people each account for about half, it is inconvenient for both sides to accommodate.

Therefore, Piero mainly prepares the food with the characteristics of the southern continent, including cheese bread made of tapioca flour, ice cream poured with purple raspberry juice, Hagarti iron braised meat, schnitzel, assorted seafood soup... Most of them Not high-end, but much more refined than the usual ones.

The only difference between a banquet and a dance is that ~www.wuxiahere.com~ In the banquet, the dancing area and the dining table are separated. That said, it's relatively easy for guests coming and going to tell if you're in the mood for a bite to eat or socialize at the moment.

Grelint is not very familiar with this kind of banquet process, and he is also relatively unfamiliar with Intis etiquette. In addition, he is not very happy to participate in such a party. Therefore, just after the speeches of the people in front of him had just ended, he immediately wanted to run to the dining area next to him to hide.

However, he saw that the other party members did not act similarly, and he restrained his thoughts.

……

Originally, what he thought was to invite Joan, whom he was familiar with, for the first dance, but he didn't expect that after looking around a few times, he realized that Joan had not come to the party.

"what?"

While looking around, he suddenly saw a beautiful face, the girl from yesterday afternoon.

"Isn't this the girl that Carroll pretended to be?"

"But last night in a dream, listening to her words inside and out, this girl seems to have something to do with her, but not herself?"

"Also, she said that this girl might be against me?"

Between his thoughts, Grelint contacted Morgan about the fact that Piero had held this banquet, and vaguely grasped Morgan's thoughts:

"You can't kill me with Hesel's 'knife', so you plan to use a beauty trick?"

"What the **** is he trying to do, why is he staring at me all the time..."

……

While Grelint was watching the girl inadvertently, the other party seemed to be sensing something and turned his head to look over. Then, I saw that the beautiful girl got rid of a entangler who invited her to dance, and walked straight to Grelint...
