Chapter 403 The first meeting with the ‘Sky Witness’ (Part )
  "Teacher, Lady Suzuran is here."

After three polite knocks on the door, Claude immediately lowered his hand and bowed solemnly to the elder inside the door.

"Thank you for your hard work, please come in, Lady Suzuran."

After a while, the ‘Sky Witness’ inside the door responded.

He is a male, his voice is deliberately lowered, and his age is difficult to determine. I can only confirm that he is at least forty years old.

In terms of language habits, although the common language of the mainland is used, the pronunciation of some words uses the accent used by the ancient nobles of the Water North District to express their status. But this doesn't mean anything. After all, there are still dozens, dozens, or twenty of such nobles in the Water North District, if not dozens.

Moreover, even if the scope can be delineated, there are still many branches under each orthodox noble. If the 'Sky Witness' is not a member of the family, then the scope of the investigation will be expanded.

Thinking of this, Alina couldn't help but restrain her thoughts with some disappointment. After a brief salute through the door and confirming that the 'difficult' cornerstone had left, she immediately stood up again and opened the door.

With the sound of the door handle being turned, Alina entered the reception room, took off her sunhat first, and saluted in a standard manner, "Good day, my dear Witness."

"Good day, Lady Suzuran, nice to meet you."

He also stood up and bowed solemnly. The supreme leader of the 'Sky Scholar' immediately made an invitation gesture to the sage assistant, indicating that he should take a seat opposite him.

"Nice to meet you too."

While speaking, Alina quickly withdrew her gaze that briefly rested on the leader and sat down opposite the elder.

"Coffee or tea?"

'Sky Witness' asked gently.

"Just a cup of Loren black tea."

Alina answered with a smile, and without hesitation chose the more conventional black tea during afternoon tea, and selected a black tea from the East District of the Wind from the types of black tea she knew.

"Okay," the 'Sky Witness' was not surprised at all by the sage's assistant's satisfactory choice. So after choosing the type of tea he liked, he immediately raised his hand and called someone who was quite a distance away from the two of them. Waiter: "Rosa, prepare some tea for Miss Suzuran."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, a young woman wearing a black uniform, with light blond hair and light blue eyes came from behind the witness. I saw that the sexy blond hair was neatly tied up. Although he was doing the work of refilling tea and pouring water, which is the responsibility of ordinary waiters, his movements gave people an elegant and dignified impression of a well-educated family and a noble family. There was no other ordinary servant who deliberately pretended. A sense of dissonance at the end.

Coupled with the magic level medal with the serial number '15' that the lady showed when she came over and put the teapot away, that lady's identity is not ordinary... Just when she was thinking this, the well-educated lady She had already stepped aside again, and was replaced by the 'Sky Witness' on the other side, as the host, who personally poured tea for her.

"Thank you."

After briefly recalling what she knew about the afternoon tea etiquette of the aristocrats of the Water North District, Alina finally did not show her surprise at that moment, and politely thanked the elders in front of her with a decent smile.

In the process, she also used her good visual advantage to see clearly the part of the 'Sky Witness' that was not covered by the half-face mask. The fair skin common in the Water North District, with some wrinkles but not visible. An old face, a long chin, and a pair of silver-gray eyes covered by a half-face mask, calm but not turbid...

This combination inexplicably gave her a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't put together a complete portrait in her mind, which made her very annoyed.

Of course, this emotion did not stay in her heart for too long. She restrained her thoughts, picked up the cup of black tea and took a sip while waiting for today's afternoon tea to officially begin.
  Sure enough, just when she had a similar thought, Miss Rosa, who had backed away before, stepped forward again and placed the three-layer tray containing different snacks on the coffee table where the two of them were sitting opposite each other.

"I have heard the details from Sallysette and Fisher. Thank you very much for your help in Celia."

Nodding slightly to the deacon beside him, the 'Sky Witness' looked to the opposite side again. After polite greetings for a while, he immediately got into the theme of this meeting.

"This is also what I want to express, respected Mr. Witness."

Alina was not surprised at all by this development. Therefore, after Miss Rosa walked away, she quickly adjusted her mood, responded with a reserved smile, and after answering, she took the initiative to reach out from the three-layer tray. I took a piece of sandwich from the bottom and took a bite.

The bread has a soft texture and plenty of ingredients, unlike ordinary pastry chefs from noble families.

Unfortunately, she knew very little about this aspect, so she could not narrow down her guess based on the taste of afternoon tea snacks.

It would be great if Ives was here. If he were here, he might be able to help me identify some candidates directly through the taste or shape of these desserts.

However, such thoughts did not stay in her mind for too long. While enjoying black tea and snacks, she continued to chat with the 'Sky Witness' opposite about what she saw and heard in the small town of Selia.

In this process, the 'Sky Witness' will also respond selectively. Even when she tentatively asks some questions, the 'Sky Witness' will proactively and tactfully answer them, without most of the answers. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the arrogance and strength of the leader of the secret organization.

Of course, she did not take this matter lightly. She was very careful in both questions and answers. She only discussed the matter itself and magic, and did not involve the organizational situation or personal privacy of both parties.

In this way, time gradually came to the end of afternoon tea with Alina in a state of doubt or alert. When they said goodbye to each other, Alina thought that the 'witness in the sky' would be there at the end of the meeting. A little mention of Samael or her 'card' talent, but until she finished her official salute and was about to leave, the 'sky witness' didn't mention that the two were related, as if their meeting was purely Just to understand each other's behavior and attitude.

Tsk, you are really patient!
  After making a secret comment, Alina immediately stopped staying, turned the door handle, and left the reception room where the two were enjoying afternoon tea.

However, this relaxed mood did not last long before she saw the cornerstone of 'difficulty' that seemed to have been waiting nearby...
