Chapter 63: Shock and Anger
While Calvin and Count Elroy were discussing their countermeasures, a shiny black cat gracefully jumped onto the windowsill of the bedroom in the same building, and the cat's eyes looked at the maid cleaning in the bedroom, and it seemed hesitant to put it down with a letter in its mouth.
"Little cutie, there's nothing to eat here." The maid who was cleaning said with joy when she saw the black cat on the windowsill.
The black cat was not very smart, but knew that as long as the letter was placed in a fixed place, it would have a good dinner when it returned, and in the end it could not resist the temptation of the small dried fish and jumped slowly into the office, jumped to the table top of the bedroom to put down the envelope under the surprised gaze of the maid, and then returned the way it came.
The maid took the envelope curiously, and was stunned when she saw that it was written to Count Elroy, this was his bedroom, and she didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly took the envelope to the office in the same building.
Knocking on the door and entering, the maid hesitated and reported: "Lord Earl, you may not believe it, a black cat has broken into your bedroom and left this letter. โ
"Letter?" Count Elroy didn't know why, and then thought of the conversation he had with Calvin just now, the only one who can make animals send messages is the spellcaster, maybe the so-called black cat is actually the caster's messenger. Calvin almost jumped to his feet, walked quickly to the maid and raised his voice and asked, "Are you sure it's a letter from a black cat?" โ
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and it was this letter." The maid was so frightened by Calvin that she took a few steps back, and hurriedly held the envelope with both hands to him.
Calvin also saw that the envelope was written for Count Elroy and handed it to him.
Count Elroy asked, "Did the caster send it?" โ
"It's very likely that there are not so many coincidences in this world, and it is impossible for ordinary people to drive the black cat to deliver letters, and he may have known that I was observing him in the dark." Calvin's face was extremely grim, and he could feel a chill in his hands and feet, the spellcaster knew about his existence, and it was probably a matter of a thought to kill him.
Count Elroy looked at the envelope on the table and hesitated, "Is this letter safe?" โ
The caster has a lot of tricks, and God knows if opening the letter will trigger a curse directly.
"Oh, Count, you need to know that there are thousands of ways for a superior spellcaster to want your life, and any of them is much easier than sending a message."
Count Elroy was not ashamed of his prudence, nodded and picked up the envelope and opened it, looking at the contents of the envelope, his face gradually turned from flat at the beginning to iron, and finally slapped the table with surprise and anger and roared: "Damn! What did my stupid son do? โ
"What's wrong?"
Count Elroy handed the envelope to Calvin, and said in a muffled voice: "Look, now I finally know why the superior spellcaster you said killed someone, it was not an evil spell casting ritual at all, but the fault of my stupid son, how could he have the audacity to send someone to attack the relatives of a superior spellcaster!" โ
Calvin took the envelope in surprise, looked it up and down several times, but breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped on the chair next to him: "Fortunately in misfortune, at least I can confirm that this high-ranking spellcaster is not a very vicious person, and the letter mentions the Magic Association, since it is an official spellcaster affiliated with the Magic Association, you can't rashly act against ordinary people." โ
After a pause, he added with a stiff face: "Unless someone is the first to offend the official spellcaster." โ
Calvin looked at the name mentioned in the envelope and fell into deep thought: "Adrian family ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
He had heard of this surname, originally a nobleman in Norton, the capital of the kingdom, and was founded by a high-ranking mage, but he had been missing for a long time and was considered dead by everyone. Thinking of the rumors about the superior mage, he felt the need to notify the Norton Wizarding Association branch to confirm the situation.
"Tarina!"
The maid was frightened by Count Elroy's roar and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Lord Count! โ
Count Elroy took a breath, propped his hands on the table, and tried his best to suppress the anger that burst out of his chest, and shouted, "Call Cathy back!" No matter where he is now, what he's doing! Get it back for me now! โ
The maid left in a hurry.
Count Elroy was silent for a long time, took off his coat and threw it aside, and asked slowly, "Mr. Calvin, how true is this letter?" โ
"Lord Earl, you should also know that the Adrian family, the high-ranking spellcaster who once served the royal family, has been missing for decades now, but there is no confirmed death."
"Are you sure it's him?"
"This is not yet confirmed, but judging from some traces at the scene, the enemy of the superior spellcaster is not an ordinary person, and a strange weapon broken in half was left at the scene."
"What kind of weapon?"
"Similar to a long whip, there are a lot of sharp blades on the whip."
Count Elroy was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Is the handshake part of that weapon like a walking stick?" โ
"You know that?"
Count Elroy's tired gaze deepened, and he replied in an affirmative tone: "Ah, the owner of that strange weapon should be Kirton Lester, a true knight. โ
"You mean the one who awakened the ancient bloodline?"
"Not only that, but Corton Lester is one of the best in his ability, and with that weapon alone he can even wipe out a regular army of twenty men, Mr. Calvin, you've probably heard of the August Massacre."
"That incident three years ago."
"Yes, it was because of the conflict between Cotton Lester and another underground force, he used that strange weapon to kill more than 30 militants, the scene was full of stumps and broken arms, and the sticky blood on that street could even stick to the boots, and everyone who saw that scene was pale and fell into hell. I didn't expect him to be killed so easily, so it's okay, Elroy City has one less scourge. How the hell did Cathy get involved with that dangerous guy..." Earl Elroy's gaze was complicated, and there was a deep chill in it, and no one knew better than him what that Kirton Lester was up to, and what he was doing in secret.
The real story of the August Massacre was when a powerful man tried to kill Lester after reaching a cooperation with Lester, and at that time he gathered more than thirty adult men, each of whom was well-equipped, and some even received muskets that only the regular army of the Kingdom would equip.
Since that incident, the city of Elroy, both the nobility and the unseen forces have remembered the name of Corton Lester, the strange weapons and strange abilities.
