Chapter 146: The Shadow of Approaching Death
Blue Moon Mansion.
In the early morning of two days ago, there was inexplicably billowing smoke on the second floor of the mansion, and in the next two days, there was no abnormality in the mansion, and everything was slowly returning to calm.
Count Derek nested in the mansion, and after two days of honesty, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mr. Green, you say, could the monster assassin's target not me at all, but Miss Linde?" He asked suddenly.
Wizard Green frowned: "Lord Earl, it's only been quiet for two days. It was a lot of time for you and me, but for a patient Assassin, two days was just a blink of an eye. ”
Count Derek felt very depressed in his heart, he only felt that a fire was about to rush out of his stomach, and he had to suppress this evil fire: "Green, can I only hide in the mansion for the rest of my life?" What's the difference between this jail sentence? What else is the point of such a day?! ”
Magician Green glanced at him and sneered, "Lord Earl, Miss Linde is missing. I think the most important thing you should do now is to give the academy a reasonable explanation and compensation as soon as possible! ”
"Explain?! No explanation! No compensation! I'm so upset right now! ”
Count Derek finally broke out, he gasped, paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back, paced for a while, then he went to the chair and sat down, and after a few seconds of sitting, he got up hurriedly, walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and looked out at the garden.
Today is a rare day with clear skies and sunny days.
"Ah~ I'm a prisoner! Such good weather, but you can only stay in a dark cage! And you, Lord Magician, are the warden of this cage! ”
At this moment, the high Count is like a raging bull, and no one knows what he will do in the next moment.
Magician Green sighed in his heart and took a step back: "Lord Earl, you are not allowed to go out, but in the Blue Moon Mansion, you are still free, you can do whatever you want." ”
As soon as the words fell, Derek exploded like a barrel of dynamite with a fuse: "Freedom? Fart! I want to go horseback riding? Can you ride a horse in this big place? ”
Unexpectedly, the magician Green nodded slightly: "The four-legged one can't do it, the two-legged one can." ”
What do you mean by that...... Hehehehe~ You reminded me, hahaha~"
Count Derek suddenly turned his anger to joy, and after a few laughs, he went to the corner of the room, pulled a rope hard, and in a few seconds there was a knock on the door.
The butler's voice sounded outside the door: "Master, what do you command?" ”
Count Derek laughed, and he whistled loudly at Wizard Green: "Your Excellency Magician, how about I ask you to ride a horse?" ”
"It doesn't have to be."
"Hahaha~ What a boring guy."
Count Derek shouted to the door, "Old fellow, go and buy some chicks from those refugee piles in the south of the city, remember, they must be pretty." Before sending it over, you must wash the floor cleanly, and there can be no diseases on your body, and there can be no fleas, understand? ”
"Yes, Lord Count." The butler answered.
Count Derek finally had a place to vent his bad mood, and his mood was much better, and he sat down in the chair in front of his desk, his legs resting on the precious ebony table, and ignoring his boots crumpling the expensive parchment on the table.
"Your Excellency, I tell you, those refugees are inconspicuous sparrows. However, in the sparrow pile, one or two beautiful little phoenixes will occasionally fly out. However, those sparrows don't know the goods, and I only need to spend 1 gold dragon coin to buy a small phoenix. Then the little phoenix was at my mercy, crying and resisting, but not trying to escape from the palm of my hand. ”
Wizard Green listened silently.
Count Derek said cheerfully: "Magician, I tell you, this is a world of the jungle. Your heart must condemn my atrocities, but I have to defend myself. You see, a golden dragon coin, in the eyes of you and me, is not worth mentioning. But for those sparrows, it was a life-saving money, and the price they paid was only to sacrifice a beautiful daughter. You see, in a family, there are usually six or seven people, and if one is sacrificed, the others can all survive. You say, am I a murderer, or a sage who saves people? ”
Green still didn't speak.
Count Derek became more and more emotional, and he waved his hand violently: "Oh, let morality die, this is just a tool for the strong to fool the weak." The gods have given me endless riches, that is, to do whatever I want, to control the fate of the untouchables! ”
As soon as the words fell, a terrible scream sounded in the mansion.
"Ah~~~~~h
The sound was so fierce that it swept through the mansion like a storm, interrupting Count Derrick's wonderful speech.
Count Derek shuddered fiercely: "What's the matter? ”
Magician Green whispered, "Lord Earl, listen to the voice, it should be your butler." ”
"Bang Bang Bang~"
There was a quick knock on the door, and Drew, the captain of the guard, shouted outside the door: "Lord Count, Lois is dead, killed by a monster, and his neck has been torn by sharp claws." ”
"How so?" Count Derrick's face turned pale.
Magician Green turned to the door and said, "Captain Drew, carry the body away immediately." The blood stains in the room were cleaned up! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Magician."
"Knock knock~"
The footsteps outside the door quickly disappeared, and immediately after, there was a chaotic sound on the first floor of the mansion, and it seemed that there were many people busy.
But even this movement still couldn't dispel the shadow of death that suddenly gathered in the mansion.
Behind the desk, Count Derek sat blankly in his chair and muttered, "What the hell is this monster trying to do?" What the hell is he trying to do?! ”
"Perhaps, he is really conveying the will of the gods." Wizard Green's face was very gloomy.
"What will?"
"He may be trying to tell you that you have not been blessed by the gods." Green's voice was faint.
Count Derrick's face suddenly turned bloodless: "No, no, it is not like that!" Magician, I beg you to save me, I beg you to go to the academy for help! As long as you can kill this monster, I am willing to give 100,000 ...... No, 200,000 gold dragon coins to the academy! If 200,000 yuan is not enough, I am willing to dedicate all my family property to the college! ”
Wizard Green let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Why? Is it because of Miss Linde? ”
"Nope. I'm afraid that monster won't give us a chance to send a message for help. ”
Count Derrick's body shook violently, and his face turned miserable: "Then what should I do?" What to do? ”
Green suddenly straightened up, his gaze awe-inspiring, and he seemed to have made a difficult decision: "Lord Earl, our enemy is an invisible monster. If it doesn't show up, we can only passively wait for him to make a move. If this continues, we will all die. Now the only way is to lure him out! ”
"How?"
Green rolled his eyes and looked at Count Derek: "His target is you, of course, you are the guide!" ”
