Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Although Count Wolfe did not know Lin Nuo, judging from the way Lin Nuo spoke and dressed, he thought he was the illegitimate son of some nobleman or wealthy businessman. Now that Lin Nuo was bragging about his hunting skills in front of a group of old friends, how could he not be happy?

This year's hunting season is about to begin, and he was discussing this with a few friends just now, but how could his boasting be as impressive and convincing as the younger generations'?

"What are you talking about? You are so modest. If I were even a little bit like you, I would probably be drowned out by the screams of all the ladies."

Lin Nuo bowed gracefully to Count Wolfe and said.

Count Wolfe did not say anything, but his face flushed a little in front of his old friends. He patted Lin Nuo's shoulder heavily with an expression of approval.

After easily dealing with the host of the party, Lin Nuo turned around and greeted the hostess of the party.

"Hello, Countess Wolfe, you are so dazzling that just seeing you makes me feel so fortunate to be able to attend this party."

"Mr. Lin Nuo, you are equally dazzling."

Countess Wolff was a tall, graceful, middle-aged lady.

She was very pleased with Lin Nuo's praise at this time. She raised her right hand slightly. Then Lin Nuo stepped forward, held her hand, bent down and gave it a kiss.

There were many noble ladies around Countess Wolfe, and they all showed some interest in this strange, young and handsome young man.

These people are all smart people. They all saw Count Wolf patting Lin Nuo on the shoulder.

After Lin Nuo said goodbye and left, Ms. Liana, who was wearing a yellow long dress without a stand-up collar, revealing her fair neck and half of her shoulders, asked curiously:

"Who is this gentleman? Why have I never seen him before?"

"Linno Nord, Viscount Learson's youngest son is his friend. He graduated from Tingen University and is now a reporter for the Backlund Post. Viscount Grallint asked the butler for the invitation to the banquet."

Countess Wolfe explained with a chuckle.

"A graduate of Tingen University? He is a good young talent, but it's a pity that the identity of a reporter is a bit low."

Ms. Liana shook her head regretfully when she heard this.

I don't know what this kid is thinking? Why is he going to be a reporter with such good conditions? With his looks and the performance just now, he would have taken off long ago if he changed his track.

"Liana, you're wrong. I've also heard of this kid. He works as a reporter at a newspaper purely for fun. Sometimes he doesn't go to the newspaper office once a week. The red wine he sends to my husband every time alone is not something a small reporter can afford."

A lady came out and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

The Backlund Post was run by her family.

"is it?"

Liana nodded slightly and turned to look at the proud girl next to her. Although she was not a noble, her family background must be very good. Even if her family background was not good, it didn't matter. She just didn't know whether Hazel liked it or not.

When Liana looked over, she saw a girl in a sky blue dress looking in the direction where Dilino left.

Lady Liana was delighted to see that her proud daughter was interested in a man for the first time.

Maybe... I can try to arrange a blind date for my daughter?

But... we still need to get in touch with it again.

All their performances were seen by Miss Audrey, who had been silently following her mother.

The lady in the audience's audience curled up her lips slightly when she saw that Lin Nuo could cause a heated discussion just by showing up.

Mr. Lover's charm is really terrifying.

How could they know that Mr. Lover was actually a powerful Beyonder?

I'm the only one here who knows this.

Audrey was very observant, so she naturally noticed the look Hazel was looking at Lin Nuo.

However, the place where the other party was looking seemed a little strange. Her gaze only stayed on Mr. Lover's face for a moment, and then seemed to be looking at Mr. Lover's left hand?

That black glove?

While Audrey was thinking about this, she suddenly saw Hazel turn her head and smile at her.

Audrey's heart trembled, but she remained calm and responded with a polite smile.

Chapter 203 Golden Mask

Lin Nuo saw Cons in a corner of the banquet and walked up to him and greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Hey man, why do you look a little listless?"

Lin Nuo clinked Cons's glass, took a sip of red wine and said.

"Don't mention it. I've been working overtime and finally have time to take a break."

Conse sighed helplessly.

There have been too many messy and rubbish things happening recently, including the explosion in the abandoned warehouse at the dock last night, which has not yet been fully investigated.

He is from MI9!

Why bother investigating what happened in the Steam Church's jurisdiction when we can just exchange information?

Conse always feels that the wind direction of MI9 has changed recently. The idle people are bored to death, and ambitious members like him are tripped up by all kinds of trivial matters... He doesn't know when he can get out of this.

"It's a shitty job, just quit it."

Lin Nuo patted Kang Si's shoulder and encouraged him with a wicked smile.

"Get lost, I am not my eldest brother. Apart from a share of property, I have no title to inherit."

"I'm an adult now. If I want to gain a foothold in Backlund's upper class circles, I can only rely on my own efforts."

Kance cursed softly and began to complain.

Because Lin Nuo was an old schoolmate and wasn't doing as well as him, it was natural for him to start complaining.

"Cons, are you confused?"

"At such a young age, sitting on the bench in Backlund while gaining experience is considered struggle?"

"And even with this, you're still not willing to completely kneel down and lick my ass?"

Lin Nuo looked at his old classmate and wondered what was going on in the other's mind.

"What do you mean by licking your boots? What do you mean by flattery? Don't you know what a gentleman and reserved person are?"

Upon hearing this, Kangs put on a mask of pain and felt like his heart was about to be broken by Lin Nuo.

"You can either just lay low and enjoy a dull life. For example, I can just hang my name on the Backlund Post. I can go if I want to, and it doesn't matter if I don't want to. I don't have to look at people's faces, and there are no performance requirements."

"If you want to make a career on your own, then learn from the second son of Earl Hall. He holds a position in the army. While you are sitting on the bench here, he has accumulated countless merits."

"Since you won't follow my example of lying down and living off your wife, nor will you follow Alfred Hall's example of going out and working hard to gain achievements, then you deserve to be on the bench in MI9."

Lin Nuo patted Cons's shoulder and said, "You made the choice. What's there to complain about?"

It seems to make sense...How can I, at such a young age, waste my time in this corrupt Military Intelligence Department?

Kang Si couldn't help but continue thinking about what Lin Nuo said under his "charm" and "eloquence".

It was not until he raised his head and saw Lin Nuo's teasing eyes that he suddenly came back to his senses.

Could he be like Alfred Hall?

Can his father, Viscount Leerson, compare with Earl Hall?

Outside of Backlund's circle, who would still recognize his father's name?

"Do you think you don't need connections to be an officer in the colonies?"

"It doesn't matter. If you go there, you'll just be cannon fodder!"

"My family's connections are all in Backlund. What's wrong with me? I have to go to the Southern Continent and suffer."

Kang Si rolled his eyes at Lin Nuo and walked away cursing.

How come this bastard has become handsome again after not seeing him for a while?

Lin Nuo smiled and watched Kang Si go away without saying anything more.

Although Backlund is now like a huge powder keg.

But as long as you are lucky enough not to be killed in the explosion, there are still many vacancies for promotion, right?

The old is replaced by the new, and a new emperor appoints new ministers.

Lin Nuo is quite looking forward to the deification ceremony of George III.

Wouldn't it be helpful for you to have an idea of what kind of natural disasters and man-made calamities may occur during other people's deification ceremonies?

It is quite dangerous to complete the ritual first and then become a god.

It would be much safer to become a god first and then complete the ritual.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble during the deification ceremony will be replaced or dragged away by God... Who will dare to cause trouble now?

Just a little difficult...

Halfway through the banquet, Lin Nuo secretly used the supernatural to give psychological hints to several nobles, and they all acted as supporting actors and wanted to take a look at Count Wolfe's collection.

Count Wolfe was unable to refuse the kind invitation and was still being modest, but in fact he had already secretly signaled his servants to make preparations.

After all...collection...collection...what's the point of calling it a collection if you can't show it off?

It would be better to sell it and exchange it for heavy, golden pounds and deposit it in the bank.

Led by servants, the interested gentlemen and ladies entered Count Wolfe's collection room to view his collection.

According to etiquette, everyone could disperse and appreciate the works only after Count Wolfe had introduced several of his proud collections.

Lin Nuo quietly mixed in the visiting group. He naturally saw Audrey in the crowd, but she didn't seem to have any intention of coming up to greet him, so Lin Nuo didn't go up to her to reminisce and chat.

"Anyone interested can visit my other collections. If you need anything, just tell the servants around."

Count Wolfe generously opened a part of his collection to the public. Seeing this, Lin Nuo certainly would not be falsely polite to the generous count.

Lin Nuo reached into his pocket and grasped the finger-sized puppet head. Strange, illusory spiritual lines revealed all the protective forces hidden in the dark.

"An earl's family has quite a few Beyonders."

Lin Nuo chuckled to himself and looked calmly at a golden mask hanging on the wall.

"Why does it have to be gold? Otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome."

Lin Nuo snapped his fingers lightly.

A set of armor hanging on the display stand on the other side, the helmet in it trembled twice as if it had life, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Bang!

The sound was not loud, but it attracted almost everyone's attention in an instant. Lin Nuo's left hand, wearing a black glove, lightly snapped his fingers to create a misleading illusion.

The next moment, the golden mask behind the wall fell into his hands and was thrown into the spiritual space by him.

When he looked up, the fake was already hanging on the wall.

"Ha~"

After getting the things, Lin Nuo covered his mouth and yawned, then turned around and left here, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and blended into the crowd.

The only two people on the scene who noticed Lin Nuo's actions were Audrey and Hazel, whose attention had been focused on Lin Nuo from the beginning.

If Miss Justice was full of curiosity about Lin Nuo's tricks and the black gloves.

Hazel frowned deeply and thought that Lin Nuo's behavior of stealing was somewhat unjust and impolite.

Lin Nuo naturally noticed the two girls' gazes, but for Hazel, who was following too closely and therefore had been within the control range of Lin Nuo's spiritual thread, she was also very surprised.

Lin Nuo really didn't take Hazel too seriously... She was really too immature... If Lin Nuo wanted to, he could control her in an instant in public without attracting anyone's attention.

Lin Nuo also had a guess in his mind as to why Miss Hazel had set her sights on him.

Lin Nuo felt a little itchy when he saw the gauze gloves in the other person's hand wearing the 'Dream' in his hand.

Then I guess the other person must be feeling a little bit excited too, right?

"Let's see what surprises this lady can bring me."

"There are so few things that can be found on the thieves' path."

Lin Nuo was in a very good mood after successfully stealing the golden mask. He walked to a semi-remote corner and drank red wine alone.

"Lin Nuo, Audrey asked me to pass a message to you."

When Lin Nuo was drinking alone, Kang Si came over with an unhappy look on his face.
