Lord Highlander

   Chapter 194 193. Castle Night 3

A young magician jumped off the lintel beam at the gate of the tower, threw away the copper candlestick in his hand, and kicked Josua's face vigorously with his feet. He was a little surprised to see his eyes kept turning upwards. He squatted down and put his fingers under Joshua's nostrils to feel whether he was still breathing.

   "Should I not kill him directly?"

  The young magician stared at Joshua and said with some doubts.

  He has a pair of very bright eyes. He is a little thin but quick in thinking. He looks like a young boy.

  He squatted beside Joshua, untied the tie around his collar, tried to keep his breathing unobstructed, and checked the swelling on his forehead. The feeling of being hit by a copper candlestick was not good.

  Suldak touched his wound and said, "Don't worry, Antonio, his head is very hard. He just passed out temporarily, and he will fully recover after a while."

  The young magician Antonio glanced at Suldak, and said suspiciously: "I think he should at least be bandaged."

Suldak closed the wooden door of the tower to prevent the guards patrolling outside from discovering the situation here. When he closed the door, he did not forget to look to both sides of the alley. There were no guards from the Busman family passing by. This is just a castle. There is a watchtower on the outside, but due to the layout of the castle, it is independent of the city wall, so there are basically no guards stationed here, and there are no patrolling guards.

  The tower is very tall, but it is only divided into upper and lower floors. Except for the bottom floor, the top floor is connected by a spiral ladder. From a distance, the tower looks more like an eagle's nest.

  He turned and pointed to Mrs. Miranda and her personal maid standing in the corner, and asked the young magician, "Whatever you want, but what will they do?"

There is a row of lockers against the wall on the first floor. Some military supplies will be placed here during the war, but Busman Castle has never experienced war in the past few hundred years, so the entire locker is completely empty, and there are huge boxes on both sides of the corner. It is also empty.

Mrs. Miranda was wearing a simple nightgown. She stood by the wall and looked at Suldac and Antonio vigilantly. When someone mentioned her name, he raised his head and stared at the young magician coldly.

  The young magician Antonio thought for a while and said:

"I don't think they should spread the word about this matter, otherwise their secret date with Joshua (cannon) will be made public. If this kind of thing is said, Mrs. Miranda will probably be kicked out by Duke Ryan. Out of Busman Castle, of course no one wants this to happen."

Standing in front of Mrs. Miranda, the young countess was only in her early twenties, and the old face of Josie Busman appeared in Suldak's mind. He did not expect to marry such a young wife. It's no wonder that Mrs. Miranda would secretly meet those young faces in the castle behind Josie Busman's back.

   "How can we let us go, I have done everything you ordered me..." the maid standing beside Mrs. Miranda asked softly.

"I think at least until tomorrow morning. Please go to the top of the tower to rest for a while. There should be blankets on it to keep out the cold. Although they are a bit worn out, I think you should use them." After the magician finished speaking, he pointed his finger upwards. Towers overhead.

For these two men who have no desire for their bodies, Mrs. Miranda has nothing to do. She can only follow the young magician Antonio's instructions, carrying a light nightgown along the narrow spiral staircase, holding the mottled white gray wall, one step at a time. Slowly climbing up one step at a time, the personal maid obediently followed behind her.

At this time, Mrs. Miranda suddenly thought that maybe she could send out some distress messages when she reached the top of the tower. After all, this is the castle of the Busman family. Maybe there is a heroic knight loyal to the Busman family lying in the next room of the tower. , as long as the knights of the Busman family can be brought over, they should be able to get out of trouble.

  But the young magician Antonio was under the tower, looking up at Mrs. Miranda who was climbing to the top of the tower, and said to her:

"Oh, by the way, please don't try to ask for help. I think you probably don't want anyone to come here. The first thing you see is a young officer lying on the ground. Date a lover. Never imagine that someone can Excuse you, we will take him away before dawn, and then you will be free..."

Mrs. Miranda rolled her eyes at the young magician, wishing she could grab the white ash on the wall and throw it in the young magician's face. Unfortunately, the tower was rather dark, and Antonio standing under the tower couldn't see it at all. To Mrs. Miranda's little trick...

  …

   Speaking of the process of Suldak's acquaintance with the magician, it dates back to this morning.

Just before dawn, Suldak tied Beard in the attic of the villa, and confirmed that the white pig would not be able to break free from the tendon rope, and would not die from lack of breath or hunger and thirst. Then he hurriedly sorted out the battle marks, When it was daylight, he walked out of the villa.

   Originally, Suldak wanted to find a tavern and inquire about the castle of the Busman family. Generally, the taverns in the city will not open until at least noon. At this time, it is too early to find a tavern, so it is better to have some breakfast.

  But he didn't want to stay in Beard's villa all the time, he wanted to leave the villa before it was dark.

   I just didn't expect that just after he closed the gate of the villa and was about to turn around to leave, a young magician in a magic robe stood under the banana tree, staring at him curiously with big clear eyes.

The familiar face and clear eyes reminded him that this magician attacked Earl Josie Busman the day before yesterday, and sneaked into the city while lying in the van of the magic leather merchant Kitt yesterday. inside. Suldak did not expect that the third time he saw the magician would be at the gate of Beard's villa. I didn't expect this young magician to be following behind me all the time. If he didn't take the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, I'm afraid I wouldn't know until now that someone was following behind me without anyone noticing.

  He looked at the young magician in astonishment, thinking that his revenge plan had been exposed, thinking about whether to pounce on him, and use the most severe means to silence him.

  However... the young magician didn't have any hostility in his eyes, instead he opened his hand to Suldak and said:

"Don't be nervous, I didn't come to sabotage your plan. I was worried that you would report me, so I kept following you secretly, but it seems...you also have a story, and I think you will use me. "

   "Of course, my help is not free, we may be able to reach a certain level of cooperation, so we need to sit down and have a good talk..."
