- Shirley was startled at first and almost screamed. Then she looked around in panic, then quickly moved forward and grabbed Vicente's hand.
Her unusual reaction left Vicente at a loss, and he didn¡¯t understand why she reacted this way.
Shirley tried her best to lower her voice and restrain her fear and panic: "Vicente, run away, the night watchman found the body in the basement of your home."
"What?" The bad news hit Vicente like a meteor. It happened so suddenly that he couldn't believe it at all, even if the news came from the mouth of Shirley, whom he loved and trusted the most, "Impossible, this is impossible. , how did the night watchman know that there was a body in the basement, and why did he come to check on me?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the night watchmen, if the operations of the night watchmen could be so rigorous as to investigate the condition of every house, there would be no magicians in this world, and there would be no night watchmen any more, because they are all exhausted to death.¡±
Seeing that Vicente was in a confused mood and unable to take effective action, Shirley had no choice but to tell the whole story. However, she tried to condense it into one sentence: "Andrew and the others felt that their dignity had been insulted, so they asked the night watchman to investigate you, and planned to kill you. Died in the interrogation room, my maid happened to overhear their plot."
"So that's it, that's it I'm not a magician, and I don't want to be a magician Why are they forcing me" Vicente was filled with anger and panic, and his emotions were close to collapse.
Shirley didn't want to delay Vicente's hiding time, so she kept the story short and said: "Don't worry, I will let dad come out to vouch for you. When the time comes, you just need to be examined, and the Lord will understand that you are not a magician. However, these days, you first Go to the swamp and find a hidden place to hide, so that dad can have time to communicate with other nobles and the church."
Her clear words and not very flustered behavior gradually stabilized Vicente's mood: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Shirley."
At this time, he can only place his hope on Baron Brenzel. It is not uncommon for nobles to vouch for suspected magicians in the past. Of course, it is necessary to undergo a final examination to confirm whether they are magicians.
"I don't have time to prepare clothes and food for you. You have to be more careful these days. If Dad's actions go well, I will ask the guards to carve marks on the trees at the edge of the swamp. The marks we agreed on." The two of them Their relationship had encountered strong opposition from Baron and Mrs. Brenzel, and for a period of time they could not even exchange letters, so they gradually agreed on some simple marks to tell each other their status. Now, these marks can be sent to Used.
Sudden. Vicente's expression became a little nervous: "I seem to see a few black shadows shaking outside your manor?"
He has a pair of cat-like pupils and his eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people. At this time, they are hiding in the garden, surrounded by many plants, and it is difficult for people outside to directly detect them.
"The night watchman is coming" Shirley whispered to herself. As Vicente's fianc¨¦e, she had no doubt that the night watchman would come to investigate. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
Vicente became very nervous. Although there were many plants in the garden, it was not difficult to easily see the two of him as soon as he walked in!
Hiding in other houses in the manor? But the night watchman will definitely search from room to room!
Go around in circles and escape quietly?
Just as he was panicking, Shirley suddenly raised her head: "Vicente, you hide here first, and I'll pretend to go to the west of the swamp to find you. Lure the night watchman away, and in five minutes, you can go to the east of the swamp through the side door of the manor." "
"This, but, you will be in danger" In the minds of ordinary people, the image of the night watchman is as terrifying as magicians, demons, and devils.
Shirley shook her head firmly: "It's okay, I'm a noble. At most, I'll be questioned for a few words. Vicente, hide quickly!"
¡¡¡¡
Outside the manor, the captain of the night watchman team "Mad Dog" ordered his team members: "You disperse. Guard different directions of the manor to prevent Vicente, the evil magician, from escaping. The 'tamer' and I went in to investigate and search." "
Under such circumstances, the night watchman code-named "Beast Tamer" is much more useful than others, and the "magical creatures" he has tamed can come in handy.
"Captain, all the intelligence points to the swamp. We are here just to investigate the swamp area where Vicente often moves. Don't we need to go to so much trouble?" One team member felt that this was too time-consuming. There was no need to search and seal off the manor for the time being, so he hurriedly The correct way is to interrogate clearly and then go to the swamp, lest someone secretly tip off Vicente to hide in the depths of the swamp. And based on the environment there, this means that unless all the Night Watch teams in the principality are dispatched, otherwise Vicente will be caught. Hope is extremely slim.
Although the nickname "Mad Dog" has "crazy" in it, he is extremely serious and cautious at this time: "No matter whatAt this time, you cannot give up the rules of the night watchman's roundup. You must first seal it off before entering the manor. Can you be sure that Vicente is the only magician? Are you sure that his fianc¨¦e has not been deceived and corrupted? Can you believe that Baron Brunzel didn't secretly support magicians? "
The series of questions made the team member so embarrassed that he could not hold his head up and could only keep apologizing. If the captain really went crazy, he would have to suffer.
No wonder the captain would lead the entire team out to hunt down a young magician. It turned out that he was worried that the nobles were involved in this matter.
"According to previous investigations, Vicente and Miss Brunzel have a good relationship. As long as we keep an eye on her, maybe we don't need to go deep into the swamp." "The Tamer" added.
At this time, "Mad Dog"'s nose twitched, and he suddenly issued an order: "Each of us takes cover!"
The team members obeyed his orders unconditionally and took refuge in fields, woods, creeks and other places outside the manor.
Half a minute later, a figure quietly walked out from the gate of the manor. She was wearing a maid's clothes and a black gauze hat on her head. The hazy black gauze hung down, covering her face.
She looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, she quickly but panicked walked towards the swamp.
"It's Shirley, she can't hide it from my nose." "Mad Dog" said to the "Animal Tamer" with a ferocious smile.
"The Tamer" smiled miserably and said: "She should go to the swamp to inform Vicente. She would not dare to leave this kind of matter to the maids and guards."
Ordinary people who have no connection will only choose to side with the Church of Truth!
"Hey, you're right. It seems that this mission can be completed easily." "Mad Dog"'s smile was extremely cruel. The award from the tribunal and the reward from Andrew were really a double harvest! If, if you can make things bigger. The more people involved, the greater the credit will be!
Seeing that Shirley¡¯s figure was about to disappear at the end of the road, he blew a whistle like a strange bird call to let the team members regroup.
"We will follow her, and the 'tamer' will stay to monitor the manor in case there is an emergency here with Baron Brenzel." "Mad Dog" ordered.
"Okay, Captain." "Animal Tamer" replied humbly. He has a lot of "babies". Although he cannot monitor the entire manor, there is no problem in focusing on the gate and Baron Brenzel.
In order to prevent Vicente from having helpers such as teachers, "Mad Dog" set off with the entire team except the "Trainer", quietly following Shirley, and followed her through the first green fields, sparse woods. Gradually resisted the swamp filled with black mist.
Suddenly, "Mad Dog"'s eyes widened because he saw Shirley turning back leisurely, not even reaching the edge of the swamp.
"What secret method did she use to contact Vicente?"
"No! I was cheated!"
The furious "Mad Dog" knew it was too late to rush back, so he jumped out of the hiding place with his team members and surrounded Shirley.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" Shirley shouted sharply, like an aristocratic lady who encountered a commoner at a banquet.
"Mad Dog" had a gloomy face. Touched his nose: "Miss Shirley, where is Vicente?"
"I don't know, how do I know? He disappeared after arriving in the swamp today." Shirley tried to calm herself down.
"Then what are you doing here?" "Mad Dog" felt that he was increasingly unable to control his anger.
Shirley said coldly: "I came to find him, but after seeing the swamp, I realized that this is not a place for a noble lady like me to play, so I decided to go back and let him die in it!"
"If you insist so much, I have no choice but to take you back to the tribunal." "Mad Dog"'s eyes were blood red.
"How dare you! I am a noble!" Shirley shouted.
"Mad Dog" sneered: "What about the nobles? As long as it has something to do with the magician. The nobles will be tied to the stake. Tied her to me, I want her to know that the torture of the inquisition is not so beautiful!"
"You crazy people, my father will protest to the church, you just wait to be punished!" Shirley screamed in disbelief.
"Let him protest!" "Mad Dog" refused to give in.
¡¡¡¡
"What? The night watchman arrested Shirley and took her to the tribunal?" Baron Brenzel asked in surprise, shock and annoyance.
After confirming the information, he became furious: "These madmen will not take the nobles seriously! They will not abide by the laws of the principality! I want to go to the church. I want to find the Viscount!"
He rushed angrily??Get out.
Half a day later, he came back with an expression of disbelief. Faced with his wife's repeated questions, he just said dejectedly: "How could this happen? The church does not pay attention to the opinions of our nobles at all, and even threatened me, saying If I have a problem, I will be arrested together."
"Are the people in the church crazy? Aren't you afraid that the nobles of the principality will resist?" Baroness Brenzel also couldn't believe it.
Baron Brenzel shook his head and said numbly: "Resist? Is resistance useful? Can you beat the church?"
¡¡¡¡
In the interrogation room of the court, women¡¯s screams kept echoing.
¡°You haven¡¯t confessed the whereabouts of Vicente yet?¡± ¡°Mad Dog¡± asked the interrogator.
The interrogator said with a gloomy face: "No, she is tougher than anyone I have ever seen. Her body is completely broken, but she still refuses to confess."
"Then just use divine magic to cooperate." "Mad Dog" said ferociously.
The interrogator looked at him in shock: "She will die, she is a noble."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a noble." Today's attitude of the church made "Mad Dog" even bolder and decided to concoct a great achievement. Anyway, their marriage with the magician was definitely not a good thing, and the Lord would approve of his doing so.
The interrogator was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "It's time for those nobles to recognize their identities. They are just dogs raised by us."
He strode into the interrogation room, and his screams slowly turned into nightmarish screams. In the end, even the screams disappeared.
"It's a pity that she died, such a beautiful lady." He walked out with excitement and enjoyment.
The interrogation room was silent, as if a girl named Shirley had never been sent in before. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
