Sword and Fire Ten
How do you mess up a party?
Minnie didn't really know what to do. However, a handful of nightshade seeds should have a similar effect.
Although the night eggplant is indeed very beautiful and does not have any toxins, it is also a good ornamental flower to put in a vase. But if you drink the seeds with wine, you can wait to pull your stomach overnight.
This is a good way to avoid being detected in advance, and it will take some time for the effects to kick in. And this time is completely enough for Minnie to get out.
Minnie Mouse tugged at the collar of the maid's dress and walked away from the kitchen door with small steps. Just now, she spilled the seeds into the soup pot while the chef was busy. I believe these chefs can't smell the faint smell hidden under the spices.
After all, these guys are so busy. As long as you are careful, it is easier for them to get mixed up if they don't see their faces.
The handler at the door shook his head in confusion and whimpered in a low voice. In the end, he obediently went back. He may be a little puzzled: the person in front of him has a familiar smell and physical characteristics, but why does it always feel that something is wrong?
The question was obviously too much for its one-pound brain, and it didn't dawn on Minnie until she disappeared into the hallway.
Oh, it turns out that there is a slight difference in the upper body.
He stood up violently, looking east and west. Then a fleshy bone fell in front of it. So, the little guy's attention shifted to something more meaningful.
And on the other side of the corridor. Minnie Mouse tugged at her collar again. There was an unhappy look on his face.
Although it was a very effective move to change the maid's clothes. But......
[Sure enough, this kind of washboard without capital is the most annoying!]
………………
Just as Minnie ducked her head from one maid after another of the maids and guards, hurried footsteps and disgruntled shouts could be heard in the corridors on the other side of the manor.
"Nancy, where have you been, come out quickly!"
Samanda, the head maid, felt very bad and dissatisfied. Because one of her maids didn't know to run away without a trace before the important dinner party!
If you don't run in the morning or don't run in the evening, you choose this time. Is it deliberate? It must be on purpose!
"Where is this guy hiding?" whispered the head maid in exasperation, looking left and right.
She was so angry that she didn't even notice that two little maids were whispering not far behind her.
"Wow, Aunt Samanda is so scary. It looks like you're going to eat people!" said the girl in the red hair ornament cautiously.
"Shhhhh The red one also nodded in fear, and only whispered until he let go of his hand: "Mmmm, it's terrible." ”
"It's so pitiful for Nancy, I heard that her sister disappeared a few days ago. The guard's nephew said she was eaten by a silver monster. ”
"Where! I was 'beeped' many times by a monster with tentacles, and then dragged into the lair. That's what the books say!"
"What kind of book are you reading?"
"It's like Mora's ......"
A shadow abruptly enveloped the two little maids. In front of them, the head maid, as terrifying as an ancient demon, took over the entire vision of the two maidens—they were so frightened that both feet began to fight.
"Girl, chief maid!" the blue one shuddered and took about sixteenth of a step forward, blocking the maid with the red hair ornament behind him...... Well, about a third of an inch away.
"You two," Samanda asked with a blank face, "have you seen where Nancy has gone?"
"She seems to be in the kitchen!" replied the blue-haired girl with great speed and fluency.
"Good. Samanda nodded and turned around. Wait until there is a sigh of relief from behind, and then turn back sharply to startle their hair to stand on end.
"In the future, don't read strange books again!"
This time, she didn't look back again to scare them. So it wasn't until Samanda's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor that the two little maids fell limply, and then both little heads hit a big bag.
"Woo~ it hurts!"
The head maid, who heard two soft shouts behind her, shook her head helplessly and continued to walk in the direction of the kitchen.
"What a bunch of people who can't be relieved. ”
A few minutes later, however, the kitchen helper gave her another disappointed answer.
"Miss Nancy, she's just come and go around and gone. The handyman in a short suit scratched his head and looked like he was trying to think. "She seems to be a little strange today, she keeps her head down and doesn't talk to anyone. ”
Samanda nodded, and replied, "Is that what it looks like?" I'm sorry for you. ”
"Where, where," said the handyman, grinning. He suddenly pointed to a hallway and said, "She seems to have come from that side." ”
"Well, over there, is it ......" Samanda suddenly let go of her hand, realizing that there were some things that were not very appropriate to say here.
If things had turned out the way she had imagined, it would probably not be something that could be said in a grand manner. After all, the status of the maid in the aristocratic manor is not too high. The aristocrats will also do unspeakable things to them when they are in the mood. Occasionally, some rude guests will do the same – which is not a big deal in the rich circles.
And the guests whom the host Amulon had entertained tonight did not seem very polite.
They're just a bunch of villains.
"Let's hope something irreversible doesn't happen. She walked briskly into the guest room area, opening the doors from one side of the hallway to the other.
"Don't do anything stupid...... Nancy. At most, it was just a dog bite. Samanda muttered anxiously.
Finally, there was a door in front of me that couldn't be opened. It seems to be blocked from something inside. I couldn't see anything from the keyhole. Looks like this is it.
The head maid took a deep breath. She tapped lightly on the door panel a few times, and asked in the softest voice possible, "This is the head maid Samanda, can I come in?"
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
……
Ten seconds later, nothing happened.
"I'm sorry. The maid said loudly, and she slammed the door open.
She saw Nancy.
"Oh ~ Nine Holy Spirits are above!"
The frightened lady immediately closed the door with her backhand, and this kind of thing in front of her could not be known to too many people. In that case, it will completely destroy Nancy!
After all, there was nothing left on her body except for the strips of cloth that bound her hands and feet and gagged her mouth. And there was a bruise on her throat, which was obviously forcibly choked and fainted.
"I didn't expect there to be such a bad guest...... We're going to have to wake her up quickly. ”
Samanda quickly untied the strip of cloth from the girl's body, then gently patted Nancy's face in an attempt to wake her up from her stupor.
………………
When the footsteps in the courtyard became dense, Minnie knew something was wrong.
The original plan was to lay an ambush outside the manor, and wait until the banquet was unpleasant to kill the villains without realizing it. This would have been a reasonable strategy, but it clearly doesn't work anymore.
[Has the maid been discovered...... You'll have to hide it first. 】
She jerked around, and the whole person was stuck to the wall in the corner of the hallway. And in the next second, two guards passed by where she was. Minnie could even hear the whispered conversations between the guards clearly.
“…… There are so many maids, and they can't make a fuss, how do I know which one is which?"
"Don't worry so much, catch ...... first when you see blonde hair"
The guards quickly moved away, and the girl's eyes froze slightly.
【Is it ...... blonde hair】
She pulled the glove off her right hand, and a metalized finger fell silently to the ground as it cut off the mana supply. When another wave of guards arrived, only the girl's back could be seen disappearing at the end of the corridor.
"Silver-gray hair. Not her. ”
[This method won't last long......]
Minnie was anxious, but she didn't show any abnormality on the surface. It was obvious that the guards could not know what all the maids looked like, as long as they avoided them. But......
Silver-gray hair is so rare, is there really another maid with the same hair color in this manor?
You can't gamble, once you are discovered, there is no other way than to directly expand the metal dominance ability and devour flesh and blood. But that's something that only Alice can do. Moreover, that way of being is quite fragile until it reaches a certain scale.
The exit has undoubtedly been sealed, then......
[I can only go inside.] 】
Once she has made up her mind, Minnie Mouse will jump into action. Without hesitation, she changed direction and walked in the direction of Amuron's bedroom.
It was probably the most heavily defended place before.
And as she expected, the most heavily guarded place was now only one or two uncertain guards going around.
[Because when the master is away, there are not many people near the bedroom, don't you always feel a little strange?] 】
Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not hesitate in the slightest in her movements. Before the two could react, the girl knocked the two fools unconscious and hid them in a hidden corner.
Surprisingly smooth lì. But that doesn't mean it's safe anymore.
The girl turned her head sharply, and she suddenly noticed that there was something incongruous about one of the candlesticks at the head of the bed in her bedroom.
It's like mixing gemstones into glass, even if you can't tell the difference from the outside, there is always an inexplicable sense of disobedience. It's as if it's been emphasized by a spell. It's hard not to get noticed.
【Secret Room?】
She just flicked it lightly, and the wall cracked silently, and a black hole appeared in front of the girl.
"It's strange though...... But......" Minnie turned her head to the side, as if she heard the guard's approaching footsteps.
"That's all I can do. ”
Without hesitation, she walked through the secret door.
Then, until she reached the bottom, no one approached Amuron's bedroom.
[It's getting weirder and weirder.] 】
There was a glimmer of light in front of me, perhaps a pre-designed light hole.
"It's ...... Arsenal?", what caught the eyes of the surprised girl was enough weapons and armor to arm a third of a hundred-person team!
The armor is engraved with strange coats of arms. And the brilliance that flows on the blade of steel is also quite unique.
Minnie Mouse picked up a long sword, and the ability to dominate metal immediately made her understand the structure of the sword.
"Seeping silver sword......? Why are there so many here?"
She shook her head, tossed her sword aside, and walked along the arsenal to the end. There, a fully enclosed box caught her eye.
"This is ......" she held out her finger and tapped it on the box's switch. Under the lid of the box, a large blue and red glow was suddenly reflected.
That's a row of alchemical potions!
Next to the potion, a parchment note scalded with fire paint lay quietly in the center of the box. If Minnie Mouse is proficient in heraldry, she will be able to tell which ancient clan's label is on the fire paint.
But it means nothing to her. It didn't matter to her, she just wanted to know what was on the sticky note.
[During an hourglass before the start of the operation, on the ground floor of the tower on the right side of the Temple of Ginareth, meet with the wizarding group of Lord Geld and deliver, with the password Staio]
Minnie's eyes shrank suddenly. She couldn't help but frown.
"Dark wizard Gerd!?...... Is it also in the snowman!?"
The girl clutched the note tightly, her expression uncertain.
[If that's the case...... So ......]
Minnie exhaled deeply, then poured a bottle of magic potion down her throat.
At this moment, somewhere in the manor. An ancient book that had shimmered with a faint green glow suddenly lost all its brilliance.
At the same moment, a large group of guards rushed into Amuron's bedroom!
"She's down here!!"
