Chapter Fifty-Four: The Night Banquet Strikes
Chu Yun gave an explanation, asked Xiaoyu to protect the safety of the two girls, and then accelerated his pace towards the Viscount's Mansion.
The closer he got to the Viscount's Mansion, the stronger the smell of blood became, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If Avril had caused it, he would have been guilty. But this is not scientific, Chu Yun has observed Avril's condition, even if he doesn't eat monster blood for three days, he should be able to restrain it. What's more, she has been basking in the sun in the small garden since she recovered during the day.
Chu Yun soon came to the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, only to see that a large group of guests and guards had collapsed to the ground, and several guards were crawling out of it with difficulty.
"What's going on here?" Chu Yun hurriedly grabbed a guard and asked.
This guard had seen Chu Yun at the door before, but he knew him.
The guard said with a bitter face: "Lord Chu Yun, the big thing is not good! The people of the night party attacked the place, and Miss Avril and several other nobles were taken away. ”
Chu Yun let go of the guards and was about to go in to have a look, but several of the guards persuaded him: "Wait, it seems that the nightingale's people have poisoned it inside, and everyone who went in fainted." ”
Chu Yun ignored the guards' words, and still rushed into the poisonous mist, and at this time, the blood on the ground instantly turned into blood mist, neutralized the poisonous gas and floated out of the window to disperse.
There were a lot of dead people in the hall, but most of them were guards rushing in from outside, and most of the nobles fainted on the ground, and only some of them resisted and were killed.
Chu Yun looked around and soon found Viscount Raymond who had fainted.
Viscount Raymond's strength is not bad, and the poison resistance is strong, and at this time, the poisonous mist has been dispersed, and there are already signs of awakening, Chu Yun took out a bottle of general-purpose antidote and poured it directly into his mouth.
Viscount Raymond woke up in an instant, and smashed his fist in front of him with angry eyes.
Chu Yun caught the opponent's attack with one hand, and Lei Meng realized that it was Chu Yun.
While marveling at Chu Yun's strength, Raymond quickly remembered what had just happened.
"Damn the feast! I'm going to tear you to pieces! Viscount Raymond was so angry that he slammed his fist into the ground, and the solid floor was directly smashed through by him.
"What the hell is going on, and this letter." Chu Yun Lei Meng picked up a letter beside him.
The fire paint on the letter is composed of three animals, a combination of a wolf, a bobcat, and a nightingale, which appears to have been left over from the feast.
Chu Yun opened the envelope, and Viscount Raymond hurriedly stood up and watched together.
The contents of the letter were very simple, and the general meaning was that they should release the wolves in one day, otherwise tomorrow and now would be the end of the hostages.
"Dream of your dog, I'll slaughter him!" Raymond was so angry that he wanted to rush to the cell of the city guard and kill him.
"Viscount Raymond, don't worry, tell me what's going on here."
Raymond also knew that now was not the time to be rash, and when he heard Chu Yun's question, he told the matter.
"Hey, my eldest son, Rex, you know, he's in the City Guard......"
Today, Rena, with Chu Yun's assistance, caught the wild wolf and took him to Rex for torture.
Rex is not a good man.
When the torture was fruitless, he was directly beaten to a serious injury and hung at the gate of the city guards, as if he wanted to provoke the night banquet to attract them over and kill them all.
Rex's actions did anger the other two members of the night's party, but instead of attacking Rex, they took advantage of Viscount Raymond's banquet to attack the place.
"These guys are so cunning that they can disguise their faces!" Raymond said through gritted teeth.
Nightingale, who is skilled in disguise, attacks the maids of Viscount Raymond's mansion and then disguises herself as a reckless mantra in the banquet hall.
She poisoned all kinds of food and wine, and this poison was very peculiar and had no effect when consumed alone. But when the guests gathered together, Miss Avril appeared on the stage, and she released another poison gas bomb, and the poisonous mist in everyone's bodies began to change suddenly, and they fell down one by one.
The second type of gas bomb is not very effective and has a strong taste, and it can only be effective for ordinary people when used alone, and normally with Raymond's strength, he will not faint. However, he had drunk too much alcohol before, and when the two poisons were superimposed, he still couldn't bear it and fainted to the ground.
Those who did not drink the first poison and were strong enough to resist the second poison were even more unlucky, and the smell of blood wafted from these people.
"The other party's purpose is to exchange for hostages, Avril and they should not be in danger for the time being, let's treat these people first." Chu Yun reminded.
Raymond looked at the wounded all over the ground and wanted to cry, if only he didn't hold a banquet on his own.
In that case, Hill might not have run, and with Chu Yun, a master who is proficient in medicine, he might be able to detect the abnormality earlier.
"By the way, they don't just want to capture Miss Avril, do they?" Chu Yun asked with some confusion.
"Hey, in addition to my daughter, they also captured the daughter of the city lord......"
The purpose of the Night Banquet Thieves is very strong, which is to pressure the city lord and Rex to release them.
What happened tonight, tomorrow morning, I am afraid the whole city will know.
At that time, if the people are released, not only will the city lord and Viscount Raymond be embarrassed, but it will also be against the law of the kingdom to let go of the felons who steal taxes, and it will be difficult for the city lord to do it at that time.
Even if he releases someone, he may not be able to save his daughter.
If they don't let it go, Viscount Raymond and the city lord will lose their beloved daughter, which is something they can't accept. And they are thieves, acting unscrupulously, and who knows what kind of torture the two of them will suffer before they die.
After death, he may continue to be desecrated......
Viscount Raymond didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he didn't care about the lives of the guests, and rushed directly to the city guard to take the wolf away and exchange hostages.
It's inconvenient for the city lord to do this, but he has no scruples, and other messy things will wait until his daughter is rescued.
Looking at Viscount Raymond, who was anxious to leave, Chu Yun also chased out, but found an abnormality when he was at the door.
"Huh? It's ......"
"Avril's taste?"
The smell was too mixed before, and the door was a vent, so Chu Yun didn't notice anything abnormal.
At this time, a large amount of poisonous gas and blood was dispersed by Chu Yun, and Chu Yun found the smell of Avril at the door.
"It's pretty smart." Chu Yun observed the source of the scent, and some blood stains remained on the ground.
Chu Yun continued to move forward along the direction and smell of the bloodstains, and sure enough, there were bloodstains again after a while, this was the mark left by Avril, as long as she followed the bloodstains, she could find her location!
Chu Yun didn't care about Viscount Raymond at this time, so he sped up and continued to track the bloodstains, as long as he found those guys at the night banquet in advance, everything else was just a trivial matter.
