Chapter 27 The First Dance

Saturday night, 8:00. ☆☆WWW.!!.om New~Thinking~Road~Chinese~Text~Net~☆☆

Klein took his high-end carriage and arrived at the house of Councilor Macht at No. 39 Boklund Street in two and a half minutes.

Glancing at the fountain pool with the splashing water reflecting the lights, he buttoned up his dovetail suit, got out of the carriage, and walked slowly to the main entrance of the house.

Richardson followed closely behind his employer with a beautifully packaged bottle of South Wales red wine.

After entering the gate, Klein saw Congressman Murray Macht and his wife, Ms. Liana, greet him at a glance.

The former was wearing an olive green army uniform, an orange ribbon, and several medals hanging on his chest—in the Kingdom of Loen, active or retired officers like to wear military uniforms at balls.

The latter is wearing a yellow long dress with a non-stand-up collar, which is mostly ruffles and rarely has delicate lace, which is different from the unmarried lady, but it also reveals her fair neck and half of her shoulders.

Klein took the bottle of Southwell red wine from his valet Richardson, handed it to Councilor Macht, and then saluted:

"Sorry, I'm a few minutes late."

This is actually a common situation at Loen banquets. Guests would rather be late for a certain time than arrive early, because the host may still be busy making final preparations for the banquet. This kind of time is not suitable for entertaining guests. Of course, lateness should be controlled as much as possible. in ten minutes.

If it wasn't for Vahana's special knowledge in this area, Klein would have politely arrived a while earlier.

"It's okay, the dance hasn't officially started yet." Macht glanced at the South Wales red wine in his hand, handed it to his personal servant, and nodded with a smile.

In the upper-class social circles of Loen, if you join a banquet held by the other party for the first time, you must give the host a small gift. Among them, alcoholic drinks are the most popular, but you must remember that you have to choose domestic ones for the first time.

After greeting the male host, Klein looked at Madam Liana again, and saw that she slightly raised her right hand, so he took a step forward, took her palm, bent down and kissed her:

"Your light illuminates the whole ball."

Before the banquet started, complimenting the host was one of the rare places in Loen's social occasions where one didn't need to be reserved. Unlike Intis, Loen's hand kiss had to be expressed by the lady before the man could proceed. , otherwise it is a gross faux pas.

"The same is true for your arrival." Madam Liana responded with a smile.

Then, the couple led Dawn Dantès through the porch and into the hall, where the melodious melody had already echoed.

A few steps forward, Maury Macht pointed to a girl in a sky blue dress and said:

"My daughter, Hazel."

Klein then looked at the girl, his eyes suddenly shrank!

He knew this girl!

To be precise, he has seen the image of the other party!

When he asked Arrods where he could get magical items that could steal other people's extraordinary abilities, the scene shown in the "Magic Mirror" showed a proud girl wandering in the sewer, and this was Hazel Macht, A lady with long dark green wavy hair and dark brown bright eyes!

Does she have a magical item corresponding to "Fire Thief"? With her family conditions, how could she wander in the sewer? Was that an adventure that belonged to her? What is she looking for or waiting for in the sewers? She has become a Extraordinary? How did you become an Extraordinary? Could it be that there is also an old grandfather parasitic in her body? Could that old man be able to detect the aura of the gray mist like "blasphemer" Amon? Klein, who was wearing the "skin" of Dwayne Dantès, thought of many questions in an instant, but on the surface he pressed his chest calmly and saluted:

"Good evening, Miss Hazel."

During this process, he quietly glanced at Hazel Macht's face, and found that the girl had a flat expression and proud eyes, so he only responded with a polite smile:

"Good evening, Monsieur Dantès."

She didn't have any abnormal reactions, which means that at least she can't detect the aura of gray mist... As for whether she has grandpa parasitism,

Not sure yet, so we have to continue to observe... Klein stood up, took a glass of light golden champagne from the tray held by the waiter, and turned to talk to Councilor Maury Macht:

"I didn't expect you, Congressman, to be a major."

This can be seen from the epaulettes of Congressman Macht.

If the other party was the colonel, Klein would suspect that this gentleman was also a Extraordinary, but it was hard for the major to say.

"Haha, it's not a big deal. There are too many opportunities to make great achievements in East Balam." Maury Macht responded modestly, "Of course, the climate there is also very uncomfortable. I have been suggesting to the upper echelons of the army , design special military uniforms for East and West Balam, and get rid of the traditional dark colors, otherwise the officers will feel like beef on the grill."

As for the soldiers, most of them are red at the top and white at the bottom.

"Yes, the climate there is completely different from that in China. Even Disi Bay is not so hot." Klein vaguely stated that he had been to the Southern Continent, and one of the East and West Balams. And the hunting experience confirmed each other.

After exchanging greetings for a few minutes, Councilor Macht apologized, took his wife Liana to the stairs, went up to the second floor, raised a glass of red wine at the fence facing the gate and said:

"Thank you for participating in this ball. First of all, let us praise the gods, which are the source of all good things."

Immediately, he and Mrs. Liana nodded four times on their chests, and praised the goddess in a low voice, and the guests also praised the gods they believed in in corresponding ways.

Councilor Macht still held the cup, did not put it down, and continued with a smile:

"Secondly, praise the kingdom, which is the bedrock of stability."

"Praise the kingdom." Klein raised the glass of champagne and said to the surrounding guests.

Then, Congressman Macht looked around and asked humorously:

"Finally, what should we praise?"

With a thought, Klein laughed loudly and said:

"Praise Backlund for improving the air."

Councilor Macht froze for a moment, and responded with a smile that could not be suppressed:

"Very well, that's a good proposal.

"Let us praise the improved air in Backlund, this is a symbol of our better life, cheers!"

Controlling air pollution has always been his political philosophy as a member of the House of Commons. He has always promoted the formulation of corresponding bills on various occasions, and has played a significant role in improving the environment. Therefore, praising Backlund for improving the air is tantamount to Praise him, and be more subtle and aboveboard.

All the guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic drinks in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Councilor Macht took Mrs. Liana's hand, went down to the hall on the first floor, and danced the opening dance to the soft melody.

The men present began to look for the dance partner they wanted to invite first, while Klein took another glass of champagne and looked at the guests leisurely.

Hey, Mrs. Mary is here too... He took a quick look and found an acquaintance: Mrs. Mary, the majority shareholder of Coym Company, with a net worth of tens of thousands of pounds, who once entrusted Sherlock Moriarty to catch the adulterer.

She is a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, and it is normal for her to get close to the member of parliament who supports this matter... Klein did not try to invite the other party to dance, because he is now Dwayne Dantès, and he does not know the neighbors at all. outside lady.

He withdrew his gaze, looked elsewhere, and saw Hazel Macht holding a glass of white wine, standing on the edge, with a slightly alienated smile, watching the men lock their targets and prepare to invite them to dance.

This lady is actually very good-looking, majestic and soft, she should be the star at the ball, and everyone is vying to invite her to dance, but her condescending and arrogant attitude makes every man who looks at her They shifted their targets one after another.

I've seen this kind of look in some Extraordinary people. They think they are no longer ordinary people. When facing ordinary people, they will have a strong sense of superiority... Hehe, this shows that there is a high probability that Miss Hazel is an Extraordinary person... …That’s right, if she wasn’t an Extraordinary, how dare she wander in the sewers… She is from the “thief” path? However, how does such a haughty appearance act as a "thief" and a "trickster"? It's hard to imagine... Klein saw that the opening dance of the congressmen and his wife was coming to an end, and he began to seriously consider which lady to invite.

Dwayne Dantès is in his early forties. It is not appropriate to invite girls to the first dance, unless they are confirmed juniors, and the first dance of wives should be given to their husbands... Well, they should invite familiar girls. The person or the host of the ball... Klein scanned the dance floor, only to find a lady familiar to Dwayne Dantès, that is the etiquette teacher Vahana.

invite her? No, she should have known about the secret help before. Inviting her to the first dance at this time would easily misunderstand her. It might affect the relationship between her husband and wife and give Dwayne Dantès this identity It caused a lot of unnecessary trouble... I am not the emperor, I like married women, no, he likes everything. In short, if you should avoid suspicion, you must avoid suspicion... As Klein moved his eyes, he heard a change in the music, from soft to soft. brisk.

This is a kind of music popular in the countryside in central Loen, loved by nobles, and often used to accompany the first dance.

As the melody changed, the men walked towards the selected lady or lady, but Klein noticed that no one approached Hazel Macht.

She is one of the hosts of the ball... and you can observe it closely... Hehe, if she is really a Beyonder of the "Thief" path, it means that the gray mist also has a certain "cohesive power" for the "Seer" path Ah... With a gentle smile on his face, Klein walked towards the proud girl in a leisurely manner.

"Miss Hazel, can I ask you to dance?" Dawn Dantès, with white temples, saluted with standard movements.

Hazel glanced at him, was silent for a few seconds and said:

"It's my pleasure."

She then held out her hand.

Klein grabbed her politely, entered the dance floor, and danced lightly and lively to the melody.

Looking at the other party's soft but expressionless face, Klein smiled with a tentative attitude:

"I noticed just now that many young gentlemen wanted to ask you to dance, but failed to muster up the courage."

Hazel raised her head slightly, swept her eyes and said:

"Monsieur Dantès, this is not a polite subject."

... Klein choked, not knowing how to continue.
