Chapter 210 Failed Assassination
After hearing the words of the blonde girl, the dark-haired girl with a somewhat sad face raised her head and looked at her anxious sister. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the affection between the sisters.
"No, Anna, this is not a rumor."
"I have heard that my father is discussing with his courtiers. They will expel me in three days, expelled from Beauclair, expelled from Toussaint, and never let me return. Come here."
"I obviously haven't done anything, I'm obviously the victim, why should I be saddled with such a crime and let me leave my hometown." Saying these words,
Xianna's heart was full of It is sadness, unlike her sister Anna Henrietta, who was loved by everyone since she was a child.
She has been burdened with the Curse of the Black Sun since she was born, and is considered an unlucky person by many people in the palace. She has been subjected to all kinds of strange looks since she was a child.
Later, even his parents who once loved him were affected by these rumors, their attitude gradually changed, and they also regarded her as a disaster.
But is this her fault? Can she decide what day she will be born? Can she decide if she is cursed?
Wayne sat not far from the two girls and watched the two sisters hugging each other and crying to each other. They were both underage. Even if they were born noble, they could not control their own destiny and could only silently accept the arrangements of their parents. .
However, knowing that Xianna will be expelled in three days is good information. For such a beautiful aristocratic girl who has received higher education in the palace since she was a child, since Toussaint does not need her, Wayne can reluctantly do so. Take this tool man.
Judging from her future performance, she can grow from an expelled girl to recruit many thieves as subordinates, cause chaos in a country, and can also play tricks on a high-level vampire. Compared with ordinary people, she is still quite capable. able.
Maybe there is ambition and desire in her heart, but when a girl like her is faced with absolute power and suppression, she can definitely be trained well.
Thinking this way, Wayne rummaged through his space bracelet and found a low-level spell scroll.
This is a three-ring spell scroll from the world of Faerun. Its function is to mark the target and then find the target through the mark. The time is one month and the distance is about a hundred kilometers. It is one of the gifts left in the space bracelet by the legendary mage Tesla. , now it comes in handy.
He hid in the invisibility cloak, picked up the scroll, faced Xianna, and put a mark on her, preparing to wait until three days later, after the duke's daughter was sent out of the palace, to find her again.
In my memory, it seems that this girl will suffer a lot of abuse from several escorting knights during the transportation. If I happen to save her at that time, I should be able to gain a lot of favor and take the opportunity to control her.
Thinking of this, Wayne turned his head and glanced at the two dukes' daughters who were holding each other and telling each other their grievances. He sighed in his heart and left the back garden to continue looking for the court mage Artorio elsewhere. Si's residence.
However, Beauclair's palace was too big. After searching for a long time but still not finding it, he happened to see a servant who seemed drunk, sitting in a corner in a daze. He simply walked over and looked at him through the invisibility cloak. Casting the Seal of Yaksi.
Things went smoothly. In his drunken state, coupled with the hypnosis of Axis' seal, Wayne quickly got a lot of information from this servant, including the residence of the court mage Artorios and the person who came to visit his uncle. The place where the sorceress Fringilla Wei Ge currently lives.
After using hypnosis to eliminate the trouble, he walked towards Latonios' residence along the route he had found.
Here, I have to mention the abilities of this illusion master who also belongs to the Wei Ge family.
As a male warlock, his combat ability is not very strong. He is best at research, magic knowledge and making magic props.
He is the magic enlightenment teacher of the sorceress Fringilla. One of the most famous things in the original work is that he once created a fairy tale world for the young Duke's daughters, Anna Henrietta and Sienna.
Just relying on the capacity of one book, a magical world the size of a city is created, in which various magical creatures live, forming a complete ecology, which is simply a miracle.
However, such a magical world requires a lot of materials and time to maintain. At this time, this fairy tale world magic book seems to have begun to mutate due to lack of maintenance.
But I have to say that from this point of view alone, the magic of the wizarding world still has its merits.
After getting the correct address, Wayne didn't spend much time finding Artorios' residence.
However, he would not rush into the residence of a strange mage. No one knew what traps these spellcasters who were proficient in spells would set in their residences in order to protect their secrets.
Even though he has the blood of the ancient blood and can cope with most difficulties, triggering the trap will definitely alert the snake and cause unnecessary trouble.
It is a pity that the legendary mage Tesla has a rich collection of space bracelets, but this mage majors in offensive spells and does not have any spell scrolls such as surveillance or reconnaissance.
With no other option, Wayne could only take the most primitive countermeasure, which was to wait and wait. According to Lei Suo's speculation, excluding the time spent on gathering information and reporting on the target, the time for the demon hunter of the Cat School to take action should be within these few days.
Moreover, Wayne did not know that in the original history, whether the assassination of the court mage Artorios was successful or not was not recorded in the original book, and no such news was mentioned in any aspect.
In this way, Wayne waited outside Artorios's house all night and scouted several suitable locations, but he didn't find anything strange.
While waiting, he saw the court mage, an old man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. His hair and beard were still brown, and he looked very energetic.
I believe that if he can escape this assassination, he should live for a long time.
After staying up all night, Wayne returned to the Red Moon Hotel after dawn. Still disguised as a tobacco merchant, he went to some high-end salons and parties, played several games of Gwent with some wealthy people, and gained experience in Gwent. , by the way, I promoted my tobacco.
During the day, Leisuo and his companions did not return from completing the commission. After all, the real world is different from the game. There is no fast travel, and the battle is not that smooth, and requires a lot of preparation.
Often such a commission requires multiple inquiries and cannot be completed in one day.
Moreover, Wayne plans to go to the Valley of Nine to look for the submerged underwater ruins there, after dealing with the Cat School assassins and Sienna's matter two days later. The clues and methods for the demon's second mutation are waiting for him to obtain.
This matter is very helpful in improving the strength of all existing demon hunters, and is a very important matter.
Although in the original game, the protagonist Geralt completed a successful second mutation, that was the protagonist after all, and it was still twenty years later.
Before seeing the actual information and information, Wayne could not be sure whether all demon hunters could meet the requirements of the second mutation.
Perhaps you have to be like Geralt, with high enough talent and strong enough strength to complete three transplantation experiments of mutation inducers to meet the conditions.
However, although Wayne has some doubts about this, he is not particularly worried. Even if there are some obstacles to the second mutation, there are so many sorceresses close to him. If he wants, he can still find their help and break through those sorceresses. difficult.
After a busy day during the day, Wayne came to the mage's residence again at night, hoping to wait for the figure of the cat school demon hunter, but unfortunately, still found nothing.
At this time, Wayne wished he had drawn the real eye guard in the League of Legends world and used that prop to do such boring work for him.
On the third night, the night before Sienna was evicted, Wayne's wait finally came to an end.
However, the result of waiting made him a little disappointed.
He was wearing an invisibility cloak and hiding in a hidden high place. He watched helplessly as a thin figure wearing black night clothes climbed in from the wall outside the palace with a very dexterous and light posture and walked around easily. After passing a group of guards, they ambush the court mage Artorios on his way home every day.
With the help of the cover of shadow, this cat-sect demon hunter hides his figure very well, with almost no flaws visible.
It is a pity that this colleague still underestimated an experienced warlock, and he did not have the magic-blocking gold in his hand that could weaken the warlock.
Although he moved very fast, the sharp sword he swung almost stabbed Artorios in the body before he could react.
But in an instant, Attonios' figure disappeared, leaving only a red amulet filled with magic runes in place.
For this ability that is almost like a stand-in doll, Wayne has seen it in the game. Sianna wearing a red ribbon can even dodge the attacks of higher vampires. Obviously Artorios is the inventor. , he is also equipped with such magic props.
The court mage who escaped the disaster immediately called for the guards. Under the protection of the guards, he brought various magic props and weapons to capture the assassin who wanted to kill him.
However, in less than two or three minutes, when a group of them came to the place where the assassination occurred again, everything had already returned to calm.
The assassin, dressed all in black, had long since disappeared without a trace.
