Lord Highlander

   Chapter 196 195. Villains

In the secluded stone house, Suldak put the sleepy Joshua Collins into a large wooden box. After closing the lid, he added a brass lock to the outside of the big wooden box to ensure that he would not Will escape after waking up, and then stop, sitting on the wooden box and watching the magician Antonio take out large and small bottles and cans from his arms, a blanket is spread on the stone floor, these bottles and cans It is already full, but Antonio is still taking out.

  Suldak stared straight at Antonio, not understanding how there was such a large space on his body for these medicine bottles.

   "You haven't even seen a magic storage belt, have you?" Antonio looked up at Suldak and asked casually.

   "Ahem...you mean...the belt on your waist engraved with magic patterns is a magic storage belt?"

Suldak looked at the belt very seriously, but he couldn't see it clearly at night, but he was full of curiosity about this kind of storage belt. If he could have one and wanted to carry some items with him when he went out, then But it's much more convenient.

Just as he was thinking of asking Antonio how much gold coins would be the cheapest price for a storage belt, before Suldak could say anything, he saw Antonio rummaging through the bottles and jars and found a small purple bottle with the mouth of the bottle In addition to the cork closure, there is also a wax seal.

  Antonio said with some reluctance:

   "This is a bottle of nightmare potion, which can make people fall into a horrible dream, especially in the state of deep sleep at night, the effect is the best."

Suldak took the small purple medicine bottle and felt it was heavy in his hand. Through the walls of the glass bottle, he could faintly feel the wailing voices of countless souls, which startled him and hurriedly Throw the vial to Antonio.

   "You can also feel those evil spirits?" Antonio was a little surprised and asked Suldak.

  Suldak nodded, and glanced at the bottle with lingering fear.

  Antonio held it firmly in his hand, and introduced it to Surdak:

"When I was studying at the Pallastin Advanced Magic Academy, I accidentally let the mana in the magic pool in my body dry up because I didn't calculate the mana value when I cast the spell. Even the concentration potion can't cure my insomnia. Just during that period, a group of friends of us went out to practice and met a nightmare vine by chance. All our companions fell into a horrible dream due to the influence of the nightmare vine pollen, but I just suffered from insomnia, so I decisively cut down the nightmare vine, and later we brought this nightmare vine back to the academy, and the magic potion instructor of the academy rewarded me with this bottle of nightmare potion in recognition of my heroic behavior."

   When he spoke, his eyes were focused, full of memories.

  Afterwards, Antonio shook his head vigorously, as if shaking those thoughts out of his mind, then smiled secretly, and said:

   "I can put those young officers into a deep sleep, and then we will secretly transport them out of Castle Busman. And I'm curious, how do you deal with these noble officers."

While the two were talking, they carefully left the tower. Antonio also set up a magic circle at the entrance of the tower to prevent entry and exit. He was worried that Mrs. Miranda and her personal maid who were staying on the roof would sneak away. , if they really let them slip away, then this matter will probably be exposed.

   locked the gate outside the tower, and Suldak said to Anthony:

   "Actually, I didn't think about it. I originally planned to use the criminal law in the Green Empire Code to punish these bastards, but I found that those punishments seemed useless, so I planned to teach them some profound lessons that they will never forget."

When the two of them travel at night, Antonio is obviously much more careful than during the day. He only dares to move forward slowly under the shadows. As long as there is any abnormal noise, he will stop immediately and wait for the change. Suldak follows Antonio's Behind him, he asked:

   "What about your Count Josie?"

  Antonio smiled slightly and said in a low voice:

   "It doesn't matter, you can always find opportunities in the future."

  Suldak felt that Magician Antonio was really warm-hearted. After hesitating for a while, he said to the young magician:

   "Actually, I can help, I mean my skill is not bad..."

  Antonio stopped quickly, pulled Sulda to the corner, and said to him seriously:

"I don't want his death to become a big event that caused a sensation in the city of Everson. It will only exacerbate the conflict between the traditional nobles of the empire and the magician nobles. Maybe there is some poison that can make him slowly and unnoticed. Die, he has done all the bad things in his life, I don't want someone to be buried with him when he dies."

  Suldak didn't quite understand what it was like to die slowly.

  Earl Josie Busman is so old, even if he doesn't take chronic poison, he probably won't live for a few years.

  Suldak said to Antonio: "You mean... time can kill him? He seems to be very old."

   "...I didn't say that." Antonio's face darkened, and he retorted in a somewhat blunt tone.

   "Maybe I can do this...I mean let him die, just like dying of old age." Suldak said after chasing after Antonio.

  Antonio seemed a little surprised, and asked Suldak: "Do you have an aging potion?"

   "What is the potion of aging?" Suldak was confused.

  Antonio was not in the mood to explain, but said with some excitement: "Well, I didn't say anything, since you have your way, then we'll kill that old guy as soon as we finish here."

It was not easy to walk from the tower to the VIP building. Suldak and Antonio escaped several teams of patrolling guards, and they had to always pay attention to the watchtowers and sentries on the city wall above their heads. It is more energetic, and the streets and alleys of the castle are quiet in the middle of the night. Any abnormal movement will be very eye-catching under the street lights.

The two entered the VIP building of the Busman family. Antonio released some nightmare potions in the lobby on the first floor of the VIP building. Surdak hid in the grass outside the house until the guards and the receptionist in the lobby on the first floor fell asleep. 'In the past, the two of them bypassed the lobby on the first floor of the VIP building, slowly climbed up the stairs, and came to the third floor of the east area of ​​the VIP building.

   Then Antonio covered his mouth and nose, took a disgustingly foul-smelling pill in his mouth, and gave another one to Suldak beside him.

  The moment Suldak put the pill in his mouth, he almost vomited.

  The taste is simply indescribable, like stuffing the stinky socks on the feet of soldiers who marched for seven days in the general camp into their mouths.

  Before Suldak protested, Antonio decisively unscrewed the lid of the nightmare potion bottle.

A lavender smoke gushed out of the bottle, and those lavender smoke spread its teeth and claws in the air, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, and suddenly exploded in the air, wisps of purple smoke filled the corridor, and looked like living things It also got into each room in the corridor, and the purple smoke didn't want to get close to Antonio and Suldak, and when it passed by them, it actually circled around their sides.

  Suldak wanted to touch the purple smoke, but unfortunately, the smoke seemed to have life force, no matter where Suldak went, the smoke would automatically retreat.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Antonio and Suldak pried open the wooden door of the room closest to the stairs, and found a young nobleman sleeping like a dead pig on a comfortable big bed. Antonio and Suldak looked at each other...

Not long after, Antonio was standing by the low bush wall in the backyard of the VIP building. A young noble officer who was sleeping like a dead pig and whose body was constantly shaking was slowly hanging down from the window of the third floor with a rope. Antonio skillfully He caught them with his hands, untied the rope and dragged them into the grass in the backyard, and gestured to Suldak at the third floor window that everything was normal.

  Suldak continued to hang these young noble officers from the window to the VIP building, and then transported them to the tower like dead bodies.

  If Antonio hadn’t found a garbage truck on the way, the two of them would have been unable to transport the eighteen young nobles to the tower until dawn.

At dawn, the night watchmen in Busman Castle extinguished the lights of the public facilities in the castle one after another, and then they would push the garbage truck to load all the garbage that had accumulated in the castle all day and night into the garbage truck and transport it to the garbage truck. Go out of town.

In this group of night watchmen, there are two young night watchmen who are fully armed, even wearing hoods that cover their faces. The two of them are dragging a cart that is several times heavier than others, following the convoy Walking out of the gate of Busman Castle, the two young night watchmen smiled slightly at the castle behind them, and waited until they were completely out of the surveillance range of the castle, then quietly left the convoy with the garbage truck, and slowly walked towards the central square of the city. go.

   "Hey, where are you two going? You're going the wrong way..." the night watchman at the back called out kindly.

  Suldak turned his head, pointed to the southern area of ​​the city, and did not speak, but waved to the night watchman.

   You can always see some night watchmen dragging garbage trucks on the streets of Everson.

The daily work of these night watchmen starts with lighting the street lamps at night, and then patrols the streets, and gathers the garbage in the city at night. After the street lights are turned off at dawn, the night watchmen transport the domestic garbage in the city. After arriving outside the city, the day's work is considered to be over.

   During this period of time, Suldak and Antonio were wearing night watchman clothes and dragging a heavy trailer, even if they were wandering around the city, no one would pay attention.

  There were only six young officers on Antonio's garbage truck, while Suldak's garbage truck had twelve young officers on board. Even so, the young magician still followed behind Suldak and complained:

   "Hey, you actually let a magician nobleman pull a cart like a horse, you are serious contempt for the **** of magic..."

  Suldak really wanted to say something to Antonio: I despise your uncle...but I thought that if I said this, the magician might turn his face, so he held back.

   Having said that, the young magician Antonio is quite reliable. Although some things seem mysterious, he is actually easy to get along with.

   "Hey, hey, stop for a while, the sky will dawn soon, I said where do you want to transport them?" Antonio asked behind.

  Surdak stopped on the street, turned his head and smiled at Antonio, pointed in the direction of the central square of the city, and said to Antonio:

   "I'm going to send them to the bronze statues of Grand Duke Busman in the central square of the city..."

  Antonio looked at Suldak as if he was looking at a fool, then stopped talking, and began to drive to the central square of the city.

  At this moment, the stars in the night sky recede, and a line of fish belly faintly lights up in the sky.

  …

At daybreak, in a remote stable in the southwestern area of ​​Busman Castle, a groom came to the stable with a basket of forage mixed with beans and grass, and he poured the forage into the manger , It's just that the usually docile horse in the stable kept kicking its hooves and flicking its tail, looking restless.

  The groom felt that the situation was different, so he picked up a pitchfork from the haystack next to him, and walked into the stable with fear.

Right in the middle of the horse herd, the groom suddenly found two night watchmen with their clothes stripped off. They were sleeping soundly in the dirt full of horse urine and dung. The groom stepped forward and kicked them hard. The two lazy night watchmen did not wake up.

  The groom cursed and dragged the two night watchmen out of the stable, right next to the sink in the stable, lifted them up, and dipped their heads into the sink...

   Bubbles were bubbling in the sink, and the two night watchmen hadn't woken up yet. Only then did the coachman realize that something seemed wrong.

  The groom took the two night watchmen out of the sink, and they were already dying.

  …

  Mrs. Miranda was woken up by the cold wind in the morning. She curled up with the maid, wrapped in a blanket.

  The maid gave most of the blanket to Mrs. Miranda, her face turned pale from the cold, and one leg seemed to be a little out of control.

At this time, they did not dare to show their heads on the tower, and bravely walked down the spiral staircase of the tower, and found that the first floor of the tower was already empty, and the outermost door was completely open. Mrs. Miranda's face was ashen, carrying The thin nightdress walked out of the tower quickly, followed by the personal maid.

  A master and a servant were silent, and soon disappeared into the alley in front of the tower. They needed to rush back to the inner house as soon as possible.

Originally, she ran out to have an affair, and was somehow involved in some kind of vendetta, but she did something shameful, so she couldn't publicize it everywhere, let alone rescue the Joshua knight who was in deep water and fire from the villains, Miranda Madame's mood was as bad as it could be.

  However, what made her feel even worse was that these two villains didn't pay attention to her...and let herself blow the cold wind on the roof all night.

  These two **** villains! Mrs. Miranda cursed inwardly.
