Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"Your knowledge is truly admirable. I hope I can go to Tobairo in person when I have the chance."

Lin Nuo nodded.

After a few minutes of greetings, Congressman Macht apologized, walked to the stairs with his wife Liana, went up to the second floor, and raised his glass to announce the start of the dance.

“First, let us praise the Divine Spirit, the source of all good.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo prayed silently to the Elf King in the same posture as he was praying to the Mother Goddess of Earth.

“Second, praise the Kingdom, which is the cornerstone of stability.”

Congressman Macht still held up his glass and continued to laugh.

Praise the stability of the kingdom, which has prevented the gold pounds in our hands from becoming worthless paper.

Lin Nuo heard Klein shout "Praise the Kingdom".

Then, Senator Macht looked around and asked humorously:

“Finally, what should we praise?”

Praise that a war that will sweep the world will not begin for five months, and 80% of the people present will not starve to death due to unemployment and other reasons.

Lin Nuo's eyes silently swept over the upper-class people who were invited to attend the banquet.

At this moment, Klein had an idea and laughed loudly:

"Praise Backlund for the improvement of the air."

Congressman Macht was stunned for a moment, then responded with an uncontrollable smile.

“Well, that’s a good suggestion.

"Let us praise the improvement of Backlund's air. 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. Of course, Member of Parliament Macht was happy to hear such implicit praise.

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

Then, Congressman Macht took Madam Liana's hand and went down to the lobby on the first floor, where they performed the opening dance to a soft melody.

The gentlemen present began to look for the first dance partner they wanted to invite. Lin Nuo's eyes passed over the familiar Mrs. Mary, who was the landlady's close friend. Although her appearance was a little different from the landlady's, a net worth of tens of thousands of pounds was also a reflection of a woman's charm, right?

"You'll also be bored at this party, right?"

"Won't you ask me to dance?"

Hazel Macht's cold voice reached Lin Nuo's ears as she held a glass of white wine.

"It's only banquets that are boring. You can always find something interesting wherever people gather."

"Miss Hazel, can I ask you to dance?"

Lin Nuo didn't say that he was learning Miss Justice's "Observing Humans" and saluted in a standard manner.

"It's my pleasure."

"Did you find anything interesting?"

Hazel responded politely while extending her hand and asked very naturally.

"It's interesting to see how people of different status make different choices when it comes to choosing a dance partner."

Lin Nuo pulled her onto the dance floor and they danced briskly and lively to the music.

"What's the point of this?"

Hazel said as if it was a matter of course, apparently it was already commonplace.

"I've just noticed that many young gentlemen want to ask you to dance, but can't muster the courage."

"And your eyes reveal two kinds of arrogance towards these people at the same time. One is the arrogance of a noble girl towards those men, and the other is the arrogance of an extraordinary person towards ordinary people."

"Do you find this observation interesting?"

Lin Nuo's lips curled up slightly. He found this arrogant look of someone who thought he was above ordinary people very interesting.

If he was not a Beyonder, Hazel might be willing to dance with him, but she would never be so proactive.

This is a manifestation of Extraordinary People who usually cannot come into contact with other people and can only hide this sense of superiority in their hearts.

Miss Justice, a noble lady who has joined both the Tarot Club and the Psychological Alchemy Society, is much better in this regard.

Chapter 363 Open Your Window

"Mr. Lin Nuo, this is not a polite topic."

"I think you should understand my behavior. We are different from ordinary people."

Hazel raised her head slightly and glanced around, feeling a little dissatisfied because she was not recognized but questioned instead.

"Of course I understand, Miss Hazel. I just want to say that you have come into contact with too few Beyonders. If you were an Beyonder trained by an orthodox church, you would find that Beyonders are no different from ordinary people."

Lin Nuo smiled at Hazel's stubborn look. He artistically processed the story between Dunn, Klein and the offspring of the evil god in the original time and space and told it to Hazel.

"We are the guardians, but we are also a group of poor people who are facing madness and danger all the time."

“That’s the great thing about this world.”

"Ms. Hazel, since you haven't received any formal Beyonder education, you may still have some misunderstandings about the world of Beyonders. In fact, even a Sequence 5 pirate general still needs to make money to feed himself and his crew. From this perspective, Beyonders are actually no different from ordinary people."

Lin Nuo looked at Hazel, who had a dazed look and was clearly still immersed in the story, and smiled helplessly.

He hoped that when he told Tianzun this story in the future, Tianzun would behave as innocently as the girl in front of him.

"The Night Watchmen of the Church of Night are all respectable heroes."

After a moment, Hazel's eyes finally cleared up and she spoke with some admiration and respect.

She was originally a devout believer of the Church of Night. Strictly speaking, she was another Miss Justice. She was truly naive and truly just.

Now that she knows that the Night Watchmen in the Church of Evernight whom she admires will not arrogantly look down on ordinary people as extraordinary people, the proud and self-respecting girl will naturally correct her previous wrong views.

"Their dangerous work is worth their weekly paycheck."

Lin Nuo remembered that before Klein changed his career, his weekly salary had been raised to 10 pounds, and there was still room for further increase. If those secret organizations did not come out to cause trouble, Nighthawk would really be a pretty good job.

When Hazel heard Lin Nuo mention the salary again, she looked at him strangely.

Shouldn't they have some noble conversation about courage and sacrifice, about mystery and magic?

"Ms. Hazel, please don't look at me like that. I just want to tell you that when you can do without gold pounds... or more precisely, when you can get rid of your dependence on food, water, air, and sleep, I will welcome you to look at me with that proud look. If you can go one step further and no longer need the various emotional values provided by human society, then you..."

Lin Nuo was suddenly stuck this time, because he didn't know what words to use to describe it. Even Sequence 0 couldn't truly "transcend the mundane world". Whether the Old Ones above the Sequence could do that... Lin Nuo didn't know.

It seems that the Old Ones also have emotions... Otherwise, God would not rather delay his resurrection plan significantly than to press the lid of Tianzun's coffin to death... This doesn't look like some kind of rule at all, it's obvious that he is very angry, right?

"If I really do what you said, would I still be a human being?"

"I'm afraid that only the Seven Gods can exist forever in this world?"

Hazel looked at Lin Nuo who couldn't even continue speaking in the middle of his words and rolled her eyes in anger, amusement and helplessness.

The arrogance in her heart as an extraordinary person has been almost worn away by Lin Nuo's few words.

She didn't know how this guy could think of such an outrageous thing. Wasn't it good for them to be proud of their status as extraordinary people? He had to hit himself and compare himself with the Seven Gods. Wasn't this asking for trouble?

"I'm so sorry to have broken your fantasy about the mysterious world."

Lin Nuo said insincerely.

At the same time, out of the corner of his eye he saw Mr. Dwayne Dantes struggling to choose a dance partner.

The "middle-aged gentleman" who was secretly complaining that I was not an emperor and was fond of married women, carefully avoided those mature ladies and cast his eyes on the young girls in the field.

I'm so sorry for taking away the dance partner that should have been yours...Lin Nuo held back his laughter and thought of Lady Mary who seemed to particularly like Dawn.

Shall we go up and invite Lady Mary?

But she is already divorced, and you took me with you to hide in the closet to take secret photos of her husband cheating on you.

Lin Nuoxu held Hazel's waist and danced to the music that changed from soft to slow, while openly observing human actions.

"Mr. Lin Nuo, please pay attention to your partner while dancing. This is the most basic etiquette that a gentleman should follow."

Hazel noticed that there was some dissatisfaction in Lin Nuo's casual words.

It was not like this the last time they met, but this time she could clearly feel that he treated her as a noble lady with nothing special about her.

"Sorry, it's just that if I pay more attention to you I will appreciate your beauty more."

"Please understand this."

"I'm no different in this respect than any other man who's ever asked you to dance."

After Lin Nuo discovered his distraction, he blinked apologetically at the girl and found a very suitable excuse for himself.

As for those words that might be a bit rude, he swallowed them down.

The Wanderer's overly powerful spirituality and inspiration fed back to the spiritual level amplified Lin Nuo's observation ability.

If he concentrates, he will appreciate the exquisite white porcelain and jade in front of him as if he is using a magnifying glass to observe whether there are any tiny, barely perceptible flaws on the surface.

This is a kind of feedback brought by the Star Worm that constantly observes and records the external environment after reaching Sequence Four, completing the dual sublimation of the physical body and the spiritual body, and becoming a demigod.

"Sir, you should be more subtle in complimenting your partner."

"But I can forgive you for all the mistakes you've made."

Hazel smiled reservedly after hearing the disguised compliment from the person in front of her.

She felt that the sense of superiority she had just lost had returned again, in another area of her pride.

"am I wrong?"

Lin Nuo thought of the close-up of Miss Hazel that Star Bug had recorded and couldn't help but ask back.

"Are you begging me to forgive you once more?"

Hazel thought he was really asking her, so she changed her tone and challenged him.

“Can mistakes be forgiven?”

Lin Nuo's eyes lit up slightly, and he got the correct idea of misleading Tianzun.

He wanted to train Tianzun from being shameless to being shameless, and from not feeling shame to not feeling shame.

This might be a very interesting thing.

First try to give integrity to the Tianzun who has no integrity, and then lead Tianzun to abandon that integrity.

Ah, he was thinking of something strange.

For a moment, Lin Nuo was a little confused as to whether he would corrupt Tianzun or strengthen Tianzun if he really did this.

Could it be that he was corrupted by the Heavenly Master for having such thoughts?

Lin Nuo found that his mental state seemed to have undergone some subtle changes from before.

The dividing line of this change seems to come from whether he is closer to the River of Everlasting Darkness or closer to Sefirah Castle.

"It depends on my mood. Now, are you willing to tell me some stories about what happened during the time you were away from Backlund?"

Hazel threw away some of the etiquette that a noble lady should follow and asked in a somewhat rude manner.

"Of course, I've been to many places, such as Bansi Island, Rorsted Archipelago, Oravi Island, and the Sea of White Whales. You haven't been to any of these, right?"

"Various beautiful scenery on the sea, various stories about treasures, island kings and generals..."

Lin Nuo told some sea legends in a teasing and boastful tone.

He paused deliberately at certain key points to make Hazel angry from time to time, and even used dancing as a disguise to actually hold the palms that were originally held together and began to "wrestle" in a friendly manner.

Lin Nuo would never have done such a boring and meaningless thing in the past.

At least not intentionally.

But when he noticed some subtle changes in himself, instead of resisting, he began to cater to these changes.

Lin Nuo discovered...the digestion speed of the Wanderer Potion was accelerated...the digestion speed was accelerated based on the continuous feedback obtained from the clone's exploration of the starry sky...even though he was just attending a dinner party and did not actually go to roam the starry sky.

"If I reject this potential change, I will probably feel nausea, disgust, disgust, and panic, which will make me feel self-contradictory, self-doubt, and self-conflict."

Lin Nuo had already roughly guessed in his mind some of the effects that rejection would have.

His laughter became brighter and his voice became more sincere, like a traveler who began to enthusiastically share with his friends the moving scenery he saw during his journey.
