Chapter 2579 Charlotte Bell
Dangdang~
As soon as the witch finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The young girl was obviously waiting outside.
Then Miss Winslet said directly:
"Please come in."
"This seems to be my room."
The eighteen-year-old sorceress complained softly, and then the three of them saw the door being pushed open, and a black-haired girl who looked to be around twenty walked in. Although her hair was short, she still tied it into a pigtail-like shape.
The black-haired girl was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. The traditional black and white outfit made her look very ordinary, but in fact, her face was quite pretty. Her head was slightly lowered, and her expression seemed a little sad, but Miss Winslet denied Shade's opinion.
She put aside her thoughts on the complicated issues and walked over to the young girl with a smile:
"Let me introduce you. This is my apprentice and, of course, my most important assistant - Charlotte Bell. She always has this sad expression, but this is just like Carina's maid always having a blank expression. This is their usual behavior."
Miss Shade and Miss Danister smiled and nodded to Miss Bell, and then the witch introduced her apprentice:
"Charlotte, this is Professor Danister from St. Byron's, a new friend of mine. We are all staying in the hotel. The man next to you who doesn't look like a man is the professor's student. I mean a student who teaches real skills: Shad Hamilton.
Don't worry, the witch apprentice will not reveal the secrets learned from the teacher. This is an important part of the apprenticeship contract."
She added at last.
"Good evening, Professor. Good evening, Mr. Hamilton."
The black-haired girl then spoke softly, and Xia De saw that her face was a little pale, as if she was not feeling well, but his perception told Xia De that this five-ring witch apprentice was quite healthy.
In short, the pale-faced Miss Charlotte Bell fits Shade's imagination of the "Great Witch of Death". The lively artist Miss Flora Winslet does not look "dead" at all.
Because she travels around the Old World all year round to collect materials, the number of followers of Miss Winslet is almost the same as that of the youngest great witch, Miss Sylvia, both of which are the smallest among this generation of great witches.
Only a few people, such as Miss Bell, stayed with her all year round. The others served as assistants to "Artist Flora Winslet" and helped her manage the "Flora Gallery" and other business matters, such as inviting performances, publishing books or oil painting exhibitions.
"Flora Gallery" is located in the city of Willendel, and this time there are only ten followers who followed Miss Bell to the city of Vista.
Although Shade could not get a room here, Miss Winslet could. They all stayed in the guest rooms on the second floor, three girls in one room, and Miss Bell as an assistant and maid, and later she would live in the suite of room 321 with Miss Winslet.
In order to keep the secret of Miss Shad and Miss Danister, after meeting Miss Bell, the witch only asked two tall girls from the nine-member "assistant group" to meet them, and then arranged for Miss Bell to prepare dinner for them in Miss Danister's room.
She seemed to want to show off to Miss Danister that her apprentice was also very good, so during the dinner the four of them told many stories about herself and Miss Bell.
That's how Shad knew that Miss Charlotte Bell was a girl of ordinary family. She came into contact with "Winslet Newspapers" while attending girls' college. She wanted to become a full-time reporter after graduation, and then she was chosen by the witch who had not left the family yet to become an apprentice.
Miss Bell, like most of the witch apprentices that Shade knew, was silent in the presence of witches. She only put down her knife and fork and answered quietly when Miss Winslet asked about their life in Willendel.
She speaks Carsenric in a very distinctive way. Although it is not the standard Willendel accent, her gentle and low voice makes her voice very charming when she speaks.
"Charlotte brought the information we need. I know a very powerful person in Willendel. She copied almost all of Gray Glove's information about the Riverwood era."
After dinner, the witch spoke quite proudly, and Shade knew as soon as he heard it that she had gone to Miss Sylvia for help.
"Charlotte also brought me a handwritten letter from Princess Margaret of Anjou, which can help us gain a foothold among the nobles in Vista City. Although I also know many local nobles, my identity as a princess is more useful after all."
At this point, she remembered the follow-up investigation she had done in the afternoon;
"I was confused by the questions you asked me when I came back in the evening, and I haven't told you what I found out yet.
Well, Shad, I'm afraid you'll have to go out with me tomorrow night, Tuesday night. The local Earl Collins is giving a banquet for local celebrities and musicians who are coming to participate in the Moondance Festival concert.
The old Bennet family and Baron Cumming's family have both received invitations. I need you to confirm whether the old Bennet family and other members of Baron Cumming's family are cursed by time. "
She sat on the sofa with a cup of tea, and then the red-haired girl asked:
"Why did Xia De go with you and not with me?"
"Because you need to use my identity to attend this banquet."
Miss Winslet replied with a smile. Knowing the relationship between Shade and Carina, she did not remind Shade of the precautions for attending the banquet:
"Dannister, you can just lend us the relic when the time comes. I really hope that this complicated blood relationship only exists between Baron Cumming and Little Cumming."
She briefly explained the current progress of the investigation and the shocking facts discovered today to her apprentice, and then sat comfortably on the sofa and chatted with Shade and Miss Danister about Baron Cumming:
"No matter who gave birth to whom, we must first find out the blood relationship of that family at the banquet tomorrow night, and then conduct targeted investigations. Before that, I don't recommend taking too many actions against the Bennet family. After all, the [Tree Hole Association] is watching in the dark."
"I want to go to the Bennetts' graves tomorrow. As for the time curse, even if the body dies and the soul leaves, the power of the curse should still remain in the bones."
Shad suggested that he actually wanted to see which "Bennett" was the debtor mentioned by Desire as "his wife died early and gave up his three children".
The mermaid definitely wanted Shade to find something other than bones, so after confirming the identity, Shade might have to go back to the past to find the person. As for how to complete the "debt collection", Shade believed that the mermaid had her own way.
"That's fine. Flora, you arrange for your followers to move around the city during the day tomorrow, and Shade and I will go investigate the cemetery."
The red-haired girl said:
"You've been staying in your room all these days. It's my turn to go out. You stay here and look after the broom closet."
The witch with gray-black hair knew that this arrangement was appropriate. Her followers had just arrived and they really needed her to arrange the next investigation. Although she felt a little sorry that she had to give up the opportunity to go out to others, she did not object when she thought of the banquet tomorrow night:
"That's good. I can fix my hair during the day. Charlotte is not around, and there is no one to help me comb my hair."
After saying this, he remembered something else, so he said to the black-haired girl standing next to the sofa:
"Charlotte, do you still have that [Racial Legend·Elf]?"
"Yes, ma'am."
The witch pointed at Shade:
"Give that card to Mr. Hamilton. It's the reward for my investigation."
Shade noticed that the young girl clenched her fists for a moment, but soon released them:
"Yes, ma'am."
Then the black-haired girl pursed her lips and lowered her head, and took out her deck of cards from the card box hanging on the side of her skirt. It seemed that there was no opportunity to play cards tonight, but she carried Rhodes cards with her. It was obvious that she was a professional Rhodes player.
The witch apprentice skillfully spread out the deck to look for the special card. Seeing her like this, Shade hesitated for a moment, then stopped her:
"Hold on."
He also took out his deck from his pocket:
"I have nothing to do tonight. Since the [Legend of Races: Elf] is in your deck, how about we play a game of Rhodes? If you win, the card stays in your deck and I'll challenge you again next month. If I win, you give me the card now."
Miss Winslet and Miss Danister immediately looked over with great interest, but the black-haired girl shook her head:
"That card does not belong to me. It is your property, and it is your reward for the commission."
As he said that, he took out a card and handed it to Xia De.
[Racial Legend·Elf], 10 flowers. The card shows a dense forest, with a long-haired elf girl wearing a cloak and drawing a longbow. The elf girl's appearance cannot compare to the mysterious elf in the forest.
Special rules are written below the cards:
[If the number of cards in hand is greater than or equal to 2 when this card is drawn, this card can be adjusted between 10 and 11. ]
"Simple but quite useful rules. The early special rules of Rhodes cards were not as complicated and useless as they are now."
Shade commented, but did not take the card. Instead, he looked up and said to the black-haired girl standing there:
"You really don't want to play a round with me? You know my name is Shad Hamilton, and I'm the champion of the Big City Players in 1853."
The black-haired girl was stunned, then her eyes widened and she subconsciously took a small step back:
"Is it you? I thought it was the legendary player of the same name, Lord Hamilton, Lei Jiede!"
Xia De smiled and asked again:
"You really don't want to play a round with me? Have you read the latest Threepenny News? [Founding Light] has been identified. I have eight cards from the founding series in my deck."

Has anyone noticed that the author is adding avatars to the characters on the book details page? Currently, most characters (especially females) have character pictures, but they are scattered throughout the chapters of the book, so let's add the avatars first.
Then consider the portrait of the god, is it better to put an illustration or a holy emblem.
