Dennise’s crisp voice echoed through the embassy hall, as the knight within the giant painting had his hand frozen midair, and the air itself seemed to solidify at this moment. Heavy breathing rose as the knight’s body trembled repeatedly, and blood sprayed from his blurred face as if he were spewing blood. Then, in anger, he drew his long sword, about to stab Dennise from within the painting. “The person in the painting… is also me.” Gerard didn’t wait for Jason to ask and simply said it outright. “That was after a hunt when the artist captured my likeness.” “The protection on that hunt was not bad.” “I hunted down an Earth Dragon and a Flying Dragon… What is it, Jason?” While Gerard was speaking, he noticed his cousin swallowing repeatedly. “I didn’t eat much dinner, I’m a bit hungry.” “Are the Earth Dragon and Flying Dragon also in your collection room?” Jason asked, hopeful. “Their sizes are too large!” “Apart from the useful materials, only the bones were left, which I’ve collected and stored in the collection room!” Garnished with some green onion, coriander, and topped with a couple of poached eggs! Unconsciously, Jason’s thoughts drifted far away. Gerard, seeing his cousin preoccupied, felt a tightening in his heart. The influence caused by Taor was greater than he had imagined! The ruler of Hans Port blamed all these anomalies on the Federation government, and had already resolved to invite several ‘Mystical Side’ doctors to treat his cousin as soon as possible. Because he was very clear. The longer such matters were dragged out, the less advantageous it became. “Jason, do you need to rest for a while?” Gerard asked with concern, then gave Dennise a look. He signaled to Dennise to take Jason to the carriage to rest. Dennise saw it, but… didn’t understand. Jason briskly waved his hand. “I’m very curious about what’s happening here.” Of course, Jason couldn’t leave. Because the scent of food was becoming increasingly rich. The next moment, ‘Fort Swallow’s key figure Dres and a young man came out. They appeared to walk shoulder to shoulder, but in reality, Dres was a step behind the young man. The young man was dressed in a deep blue coat, a red vest, a white shirt, and trousers the same color as the coat. Two white socks secured his trouser legs up to his calves, and his black leather shoes were clean and shining. As they approached, a fragrance wafted over. It wasn’t just the smell of perfume. There was also the scent of face powder. Jason took a serious look, noting that the other party had also applied lipstick. Beneath the intense mix of scents, the aroma of the food seemed to be obscured. It faded with the wind’s breath. “But he was in contact with the food just now.” “Is it that Carol Klara?” But the Duke’s eldest son, having been apprised of what had just happened, cried out in alarm. “The painting actually hid a Painted Creature?!” The Duke’s eldest son pulled out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, his face showing horror, then he furrowed his brows and asked, “Lord Gerard, do you know how it appeared here?” Such words caused Jason to frown in secret. It seemed as if he was accusing Gerard. Although the embassy had seen such incidents and Gerard bore some negligence, the other party, having resided here for some time, clearly had more suspicion. However, ‘Fort Swallow,’ which was keen on the union, shouldn’t speak . While waiting just now, Dennise ran about erratically, and Jason had been listening to a more detailed introduction of ‘Fort Swallow’ from Gerard. As Jason was puzzled, a smell of blood suddenly filled the air. Everyone looked towards the direction from which the scent of blood was emanating— Blood was streaming continuously from the nose of the Duke’s son.
