Chapter 6: A Snowy Night
By the time Sean returned home with Luke, two hours had passed in the morning.
Because in his field of vision, the sky still shows: [Daytime, heavy snow, 8:20:47], not even two hours.
During this time in this world, Sean also discovered some anomalies in this world, such as the day is not according to his habit of 24 hours, but about 20 hours, which is just divided into 10 hours of day and night.
Sean thought that maybe the world he was in was also on a planet, and because the orbit was different, the rotation time and so on, including the year, were estimated.
Of course, these are beyond the scope of the universe, and it is not something that Sean has to think about now...... At the moment, the most important thing is the super capable archaeological team members.
"My lord, should we send someone to keep an eye on their movements?" said Luke, who was beside him.
He also sent someone to keep an eye on ......
I'm afraid it's a squat, just with our soldiers with more than 1,000 blood, can we still compare with others' 6,000 blood?
Even if Paidan is not easy to use in the past, the ability of the people is far more than the strongest knight on his side.
Now think about Danti to be able to drop only 200 points of blood in front of so many 'masters', which is actually considered lucky, otherwise it is estimated that he will be half dead in a real fight.
Sure enough, it is still necessary to take a look in person, otherwise you don't know how strong your opponent is!
"Who are you sending, those mercenaries are very capable, our people will soon be discovered in the past. Sean said.
"But it doesn't matter if you find out...... They didn't dare to do anything anyway. Luke replied as a matter of course, as if nothing had happened.
Sean also stopped at this time.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"The nobles of the empire receive state protection and dare not do anything to us unless they are willing to bear the desire of the entire empire. He looked at Luke with a confident look.
In fact, Sean still knows about the protection of the empire, but are they really so obedient and law-abiding?
After seeing the captain named Kerry, Sean believed that they were a real archaeological team, and as for the other people being temporarily combined, it was normal, as if they were forming a team, and there were very few people willing to go to a remote place like Telemian in the winter, so it was normal to find someone temporarily.
As for the girl hiding, it's easy to understand, after all, she is away from home......
There are also fights and so on.
Although everything can be seen as a coincidence, Sean is still not at ease.
I can't say why.
Probably because of the real world, although everything you see with your eyes is like a game interface, but this is really a real world, and it is not like a game that can wait for it.
With so many strongmen in their own territory, and they don't know anything about their actions, when the time comes, they pat their butts and leave, leaving a mess and not having to clean up themselves.
Walking along the courtyard of the baron's house to the room, many servants greeted him.
"Luke, you said those townsfolk ......"
"Your Excellency is so wise that you actually thought of using the methods of the townspeople. Before Sean could finish speaking, the other party grabbed the words.
Yes?
Did I say anything?
Sean wanted to say if the townsfolk would know about the tomb or something, but Luke understood it himself.
"I'll arrange this for you. Seeing each other laughing, Sean was embarrassed to ask you what you were going to arrange, so he could only nod silently.
........................
Telemian was originally a remote mountain village, and in this kind of place, there is usually nothing to do, and even if there is, it will slowly become a small thing.
Everyone is lazy and doesn't like to move, and the biggest wish every day is just to think about what to eat.
So at the end of the day, it almost didn't feel like anyone was fine...... As long as Dandy and Luke weren't there, no one would bother them almost the entire day, and it was like this until the evening.
......
Winter nights are still very cold.
has been living in this world for half a month, but Sean is still not used to it, and every night he will wait for the fire in the room to go out slowly before he can fall asleep.
Otherwise, there is always a smell of coal in the room, and it smells unpleasant.
Looking at the remaining time of burning [3:38] in the line of sight, it means that the charcoal fire under the fireplace can still burn for more than three hours, which is too long.
Sean walked over to the window and opened a slight gap, the air was better, but it was also getting colder.
Heavy snow has not been heard since evening, and in the evening it is even more cold and howling...... The direction of the town was pitch black, and it was impossible to see more than five meters away.
Only the faint sounds of horses and dogs could be heard in the whole yard.
I can't hear it very clearly.
Anyway, there are a lot of animals in his own house, all kinds of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and if you want to say that the richest person in the entire Télemian region is of course himself.
Not only can you collect all taxes, but you can also get subsidies from the empire on time, can you not be rich!
Sean couldn't even find a reason to be poor......
I really don't know how the down-and-out aristocrats I heard from childhood came about, so that they can all be poor? I feel that in addition to being overthrown or changing the dynasty, only gambling can make people poor.
Lying in bed, Sean was still thinking about today.
What kind of tomb are they looking for here? Sean couldn't help but think in his heart, like a shadow that lingered in his head.
Because he believed in his eyes, although this strange vision seemed strange compared to other abilities.
There is no powerful magic, and there is no great martial arts...... But you can see some other things, such as the truth of the facts, and the human heart.
Power can bring people to their knees, but they rarely make people surrender.
Murder is just a scene in a novel, and the real loser will use all kinds of methods to survive, endure, and disguise.
Then, at the moment when you betray your relatives, you will stab you in the back with the deadliest stab.
I turned over a little, just in time to face the side of the window...... And at this moment, Sean suddenly noticed movement outside the window.
Something, to be exact, or a dark shadow!
I was shocked that someone had climbed the window and had climbed into the baron's house.
The whole person lay on the bed and did not get up, looking carefully through the gauzy gorgeous mosquito net.
This is part of what I learned from books in the previous life, and if a thief jumps out of the window, it's best not to alarm him, either pretend to sleep or create the illusion that he wants to wake up, which will make the otherwise fearful other party choose to flee because of nervousness.
If you jump directly to let the other party discover your existence or see you, it is easy to force the other party to make an irrational choice in an instant.
So Sean chose to lean quietly on the edge of the bed and watch......
The shadow slowly approached the window, as if it were not a human, but an animal.
The small eyes are two small red dots, and the moonlight is faint, but you can see the appearance of a bird through the snow.
It's a bird.
~ Isn't it that I was too careful today, and I was actually nervous by a bird.
Just as he was about to sit up, Sean suddenly noticed that there were numbers and states on the bird's body, because his vision was not showing the whole world at all times.
If you look at it for about a few seconds, the data will slowly show up.
[200/200] HP is not much different from that of ordinary birds, but a few dozen more HP points indicate that this bird is large.
But there is only one strange state that I encountered for the first time, [Psychic Vision] What does this mean?
Soul...... Visual field......
Could it be that someone is spying on themselves with this bird?
Thinking of this, Sean immediately maintained the posture of continuing to lie down.
The little red dotted eyes were still looking at his side, and then he looked into the room again, and then there was a scene that made Sean feel even more peculiar.
That kind of bird actually pushed open the window with its beak very spiritually......
Gently, but carefully.
It is estimated that there is snow near the window entrance, and there will be a sound when it pushes it up, but Sean did not turn over, and in the eyes of the other party, he was not awakened.
The bird flew in.
Then there was a faint glow from the fireplace, and it was clear that it was a crow.
Is it the first to be viewed with a crow?
At this time, Sean has to think about what to do! Being able to control the crow's vision means that it is a magic category, and there is no one who can use magic in his Telemian area, and the other party is either hidden or an outsider.
However, if it was the hidden person, then he should have come over earlier, and it is impossible to ...... by now. At this time, the faces of the five outsiders he met today appeared in Sean's head, especially the woman with mana and almost cast a spell on herself.
Do you want to run now?
If you run now, you don't need to put on your shoes, and go directly to the room where the guards live on the first floor to wake them up, and maybe you can resist it.
Even if you can't stop it, you can buy some time and run on your own.
However, just a few seconds after Sean's hesitant decision, a figure had already jumped in from the window, his body was so light that he didn't even make a sound when he landed.
In the gloom, you can only see that the other party seems to be wearing a cloak and a certain high hat on his head, which is a bit like the tall and rounded edge of the wizard's hat in the story.
I saw it slowly coming over.
Sean hurriedly closed his eyes, because if he walked in, he would see his eyes open.
A faint fragrance wafts into the nose......
It's a girl, is it really her?
Because I didn't open my eyes, I could only squint at each other.
I couldn't see anything at all through the cracks, but I could already hear the sound of the other man drawing his weapon.
Is this going to be extinguished?
You people are unreasonable!
No, time is out of Sean's thinking, and a judgment must be made...... Either run or fight.
The arm is deep into the dagger behind the pillow, and the other party is a person who knows how to spell and uses a dagger I don't know if it can do it!
Jumped up directly by grabbing the quilt and wrapped the other party through the mosquito net.
Not~
Only a soft groan of surprise was heard.
The entire mosquito net collapsed.
