Chapter 814: Gathering at the Witt Mansion
"Asaph! Master Augustine! Over hereβ"
At the same time that Maca had just infiltrated the Werther family's mansion and was asking about the entrance to the secret room, Miriam's side seemed to have found a way to enter the underground black market.
At this moment, she led the way into a dilapidated Muggle shopping street. I saw her slender legs alternating rapidly, and Marliu behind her had felt that she couldn't keep up several times.
However, in this situation of concentrating on the road, Miriam was still able to speak calmly.
"Just now I saw a wizard coming out at the door of the antique shop in front of me, and there were several people in a row...... So I went over and asked. I heard them say that it was a passage made by the family itself in the past, and although the family completely collapsed later, the passage was preserved......"
"Do many people know about that passage?" Asaph on the side effortlessly followed Miriam and asked casually.
"No, there are only a few ......," Miriam explained, shaking her head, "the other end of that passage is in a warehouse on the black market, and has always been for private use. β
When Ma Luo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.
"Since it's private...... How did they tell you? β
But his question made Miriam can't help but want to sigh - this eldest young master has too many faults in the common sense of some ordinary people.
But after thinking about it carefully, she still held back that breath. After all, this Young Master Augustine is of great use to them!
"Of course it's Kim Gallon!" She said helplessly, "If you want to get something from others, you have to pay the corresponding price." And Jin Galleon is the best reward...... It's hard to find someone in this world who doesn't like Jin Gallon! β
As the two hurriedly talked, they suddenly saw Miriam stop and wave her hand.
"Right here, directly below the old lamp, the incantation is 'Bab Anson's Bowler Hat'."
It was already dark by this time, and the moonlight was not sufficient. In the shadow of the old low-rise buildings on both sides of the street, the night is particularly dark.
Correspondingly, the street lamps, which emit only dim light and sometimes flicker, show their high sense of presence.
Even if this kind of street lamp had been placed on the street where there were more people, it would have been replaced and banned long ago.
Miriam led Asaph and Augustine into the light, and the old shade of the old street lamp made the light on the ground appear in a small circle, so that the three of them happened to be standing in the middle of it.
Maybe it's because it's still raining lightly! The light of the street lamps was like a cover under the influence of rain and fog, covering them inside.
From a distance, it looks like a vulgar stage play.
"It should be okay, chant the mantra!"
As soon as the words fell, Miriam silently recited the incantation in her heart. And immediately after, Marius saw her figure suddenly fall downward, and the whole person fell into the ground and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Miriam was followed by Asaph, and the time difference between the two disappearing was less than a second. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was the only one left here.
"Uh, what's the spell...... Bab Ansen's ...... Topper? β
As soon as he finished reading, he suddenly felt empty under his feet, and the strong feeling of falling made him want to reach out and grab something. But before he could make a specific movement, the soles of his feet suddenly felt the touch of the ground.
Then his legs went limp, and he sat down on the hard ground.
"Well, it's really ...... in the underground black market."
Neither Miriam nor Asaph cared about Marius's embarrassment, especially the latter. As soon as Asaph appeared, he immediately looked left and right, and soon found a door behind a pile of debris.
"Since this passage is correct, we can even have some room for freedom to advance and retreat." He closed the door again and whispered, "That...... I'll first find out about the current situation in the black market, and by the way, make some preparations for the next mission. β
"You're not going to the Werther family?"
Miriam asked, but Asaph shook her head decisively.
"The boss said that the Werther family should take the initiative to find me, so that I can show my value." As he spoke, he quickly tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Okay! In fact, it is the value of 'trading goods'...... I'm not worth a lot of money. β
"Okay, then you can go and walk around first!" Miriam bowed slightly, "Our words...... Well, if you don't go, let's go first! β
"'We'?" Male, who had just gotten up from the ground, was immediately surprised, "Didn't you just say that I don't have to go to the Werther family today?" And...... Is it appropriate to go now? β
When Miriam heard this, she immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Isn't that a change in the situation?" She said heartily, "Remember what I told you after we made the Secrecy Charm - we can help you master the family as soon as possible, and then you can change it to your liking." β
Yes, if I have to say, Marius doesn't hate his last name. What he is tired of is actually just the decadence and depression in the Augustinian family today.
The so-called "freedom" he hoped for included "changing the pattern of the Augustinian family."
Merely......
"However, all we can do is 'help', and if you want to be free, of course, you need to pursue it yourself. Coming forward to negotiate with the Werther family is the first step in securing freedom from your elders. β
After Miriam had said these words with a sincere face, she also leaned over to the door and glanced out a few times.
And at the moment when he turned his back to Marius, the "heartiness" and "sincerity" just now also faded. Through the faint light outside the crack in the door, she could see that there was more on her face, but a slightly cold sigh.
It was a little late, and to be honest, Mario had already wondered more than once if he should have gone home.
If he had returned too late without prior notice, and without mentioning what his father would say, at least his uncle, Butler Herbert, would have been sarcastic.
But after thinking about it, Marius was even more reluctant to go back.
Just as he pondered the and felt a wave of depression in his heart, Miriam closed the door of the warehouse again.
"Master Augustine, we can go...... We don't have much to do tonight, except to try to finalize your engagement with Miss Charlotte Witt, and all that's left is small talk. Remember, in the name of your 'Marius Augustine', get on good terms with the Werther family. β
As far as Miriam said, it is obviously not difficult to understand for Marius, who has been educated as an heir since childhood. But it was the first time that he had really come to talk to a great ancient wizard family by himself.
While I vaguely felt "freedom", the pressure obviously began to rise.
"Well, I understand."
Nodding his head in a hurry, Miriam tugged at his sleeve and walked straight out.
And it was only at this time that Marius, who had been immersed in the struggle of complex ideas, realized that the companion named Asaph had long since left.
Marius was dragged away by Miriam, and she struggled to recall, barely finding a sentence from the messy memory.
ββ¦β¦ It's not safe there, be careful yourself. β
Before he walked out of the warehouse, Asaph seemed to say so.
"How long do you want me to pull you? Walk on your ownβ"
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
β¦β¦
While Asaph roamed the streets of the black market, and when Mario and Miriam both headed to the Werther family's house, Maca had already found the old master's location.
Except for the witch at the beginning, he hadn't alarmed anyone in the mansion.
As he expected, although the witch was also a member of the Werther family, the peripheral members were a little reluctant. Of course, even the Werther people who live here may not know where the secret room is.
So he simply sent the witch who was supposed to go with Charlotte to the Augustine family, and told her to find a place to hide first.
And Maca herself simply set the first goal on the old family owner.
If the old master of Werther had separated from Helmpo by this time, then he would have had one more chance to rebel out of thin air - although he didn't think that Helbo would leave him such a good opportunity.
But who knows......
"Is Helbo such a careless person?"
With her back against the wall of the hallway, Maca sensed a familiar wave of magic in one room.
That's the old master of Werther, there's no doubt about it.
"Since no matter how you think about it, it's like a trap, so why don't you just wait and see what happens...... That guy Helbo is now nowhere to be seen, and it's not easy to find him. But if you think about it the other way around...... The conditions for the use of the Demon Summoning Technique are certainly not low. He wanted to get it out and let the Werther family do the preparations, which was indispensable. β
Thinking about it like this, Maca in the stealth state couldn't help frowning.
"Well, I don't know what the so-called 'demon' is?"
The unknown is always the most terrifying, not to mention that the "Demon Summoning Technique" is unknown in ancient texts. Although Maca is not afraid at the moment, he also feels a lot of threat from it.
And while he was hiding and waiting for a certain turnaround, Miriam and Marius, who had a clear purpose, had already arrived in front of this huge mansion.
"Go ahead! You go and identify yourself, and I'll be just your retinue from now on. β
"Huh? How can this-"
"What can't you do? Isn't it possible for me to go? β
"No, I mean...... 'retinue'?"
Miriam listened a little impatiently, and directly reached out to push Marius, and waved his hand again and again to signal him to stop the ink.
"Oh...... All right! Marius took a breath and pulled out his wand.
