Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 486: Give up the country

Zarathustra the Younger probably wouldn't retaliate against the Jacob family for usurping his place.

Flora Jacob relayed the message back, and the Jacob family naturally returned some items, including the borrowed license plate. This process might take a few days, as she still needed to advance her sequence.

Oh ~

Hazel responded with an "oh," put her arm around Chael's shoulder, and casually glanced around.

She still carried the slight pride of a superhuman as she watched Countess Hall and his wife, along with their eldest son, Lord Hilbert Hall, talking with her parents. She didn't have much of a reaction and didn't even understand why her mother, Lady Liana, was emphasizing so much etiquette.

In her eyes, Earl Hall and his family were still ordinary people.

Hmm... Shael also felt a little bit that things had changed. After all, when he first came to this era, he had developed desires for Lady Catherine. She was almost 50 years old, which, although still very young, was a reflection of the emptiness in his heart.

At that time, there was still some humanity left.

Considering Miss Justice, they didn't actually do anything. If they had the mindset they had later, perhaps... because of Miss Justice's existence, they might have been more inclined to do something, leaving the girl with a small nightmare.

Not long after, many guests arrived.

The ball began, and the evening's star, Miss Audrey Hall, walked out of the second-floor room, arm in arm with the Earl and Countess.

She had just turned eighteen this year, not yet the 18-year-old girl she would be in ten years later. Her emerald-like eyes, her indescribably beautiful face, and her long, lustrous golden hair seemed to glow, making her gorgeous dress and various accessories seem somewhat superfluous. Instead, her natural beauty was more appealing.

Hazel was momentarily stunned. After all, in terms of the setting, Audrey possessed a beauty that was no less than that of a high-ranking witch. With the support of the environment and the dress, her first impression was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

I feel a tiny bit inferior...

She unconsciously tightened her grip on Xia Er's arm.

"Tonight is Miss Hall's stage. Such a high-profile occasion really tests one's composure."

As the music began, Chael and Hazel danced. By this time, Hazel had already recovered.

"Of course I know."

Hazel rolled her eyes. Although Audrey acted very magnanimously, she still felt that it was better for her to be this way. The higher her status, the more things she had to deal with, and the more complicated the etiquette she had to memorize. She even felt a little sorry for Audrey.

"Can I ask her to dance later?"

After all, since she was already here, Xia Er had always felt that the blonde, blue-eyed Miss Justice, even if she took the warrior path, could have a bright future and perhaps even possess a unique kind of beauty.

"Hmph~"

Hazel snorted in response.

After the song, having settled Hazel in, he invited Audrey to dance.

After receiving permission, I also wished her a happy birthday.

That's the fun of the ball. A huge crystal chandelier hangs overhead, and the light from the whale oil candles casts a dreamlike glow. The light is beautiful, the indoor environment is warm, and the overall atmosphere is orderly. Different perfumes waft through the air. Any jewel worn by the girl in front of him could cost half of Gehrman Sparrow's life.

"What are you looking at?"

As a spectator, Audrey could notice that although Chael was looking at her, it was as if she was looking at something else through her.

"I'm looking at a ball of fire."

"It exudes a sense of comfort."

Shael answered casually, thinking of the improved weather in Backlund, the less severe industrial pollution in the air, and the fact that the city of Backlund no longer seemed like it was about to burst, and that things had improved somewhat.

Ok?

Audrey smiled politely; she probably didn't understand technical terms like biomagnetic field.

I can feel your joy.

This joy is because of your birthday, not because of anyone here.

Even if Xia Er tries his best not to read, he might accidentally read through a viewer who subconsciously likes to observe.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

Upon hearing this, Audrey blinked her emerald-like eyes, her feelings quite complex.

"Of course, because we are all very free."

He gently supported Audrey as she twirled around, her skirt fluttering like a butterfly.

"The Age of Exploration was an opportunity."

"The Industrial Revolutions, too, symbolize opportunity, wealth, and the alternation of the old and the new."

"Because Emperor Roselle ushered in this era, the Maynard and Hall families were able to rise in status and acquire more wealth."

Otherwise... a game that's just about landed nobles would lack originality.

That's what Xia Er thought.

"I'm just enjoying the halo that comes with family."

Audrey also thought of Earl Hall's rise to power, which sounded incredibly exciting. Earl Hall had mortgaged most of his land in various sectors, including steel and finance, and these successful investments have now turned into glittering gems and gold coins.

Unfortunately, Audrey had also dreamed of inheriting the family fortune and becoming a successful investor like Earl Hall. However, Earl Hall was cautious about his children wanting to go it alone and had a dedicated accountant to manage the young woman's assets.

"Earl Hall doesn't want his daughter to take any risks," he said, "the era of incremental growth is over, and the benefits have long been distributed."

It's really a shame. Audrey felt that with her future advancement, she could easily dominate the investment field, even though she simply wanted to enjoy that feeling of success.

"There's no room for improvement in your family."

Chael smiled, completely understanding Audrey's predicament.

"I think there's room for further development, as both of my older brothers are very talented."

Audrey's words were full of trust in her two brothers.

The divine kingdom of Mother Earth.

Xia Er wasn't just attending a party; he was also here for a tea party.

What do you think?

He looked at the Earth Mother Goddess in front of him and asked her a question.

hmm~

The Earth Mother Goddess took a sip of tea. What was the relationship between the two of them? What was there to talk about with such a trivial matter?

Of course, no problem...

And so...

The archangel of the Castile family appeared in the Kingdom of God and respectfully bowed to the two of them.

This is the hidden guardian of the Kingdom of Fenneport, the Judgement Path Sequence 1 Hand of Order.

"Is there something wrong with the Castile family?"

Chael was still very polite.

"The Castile family will handle any potential troubles."

Castile's expression remained unchanged; it was just a matter of relinquishing the country.
