Volume 5 Days in the Sun 239. Encirclement and suppression
On the street not far from the Finance Office, there are three large mansions lined up, all of which are middle-class aristocrats, and the heads of the families are basically high-ranking officials in government agencies, and now the male owners of these three families have returned to work in the government office, and the older children have also gone to school, leaving only the hostess at home to direct the servants to clean or purchase materials for dinner. Everything was so peaceful, just like usual.
Minna peered in a nearby alley and saw a servant in the target's house walking to the front yard to water the flowers, and then went back to the house, not seeing anything unusual. But she knew that according to Alborne's father's handwriting and the news from the Van A's mission, Mallory had analyzed more than 30 families that might be involved in demons overnight, and the Intelligence Bureau had traced the addresses of these families' mansions and the number of masters and servants in the households, as well as the recent entry and exit of personnel. Not far away, the private residence of the Deputy Director of the Treasury is on the list, and its male owner is also one of the Queen's diehards. In other words, his family is suspicious.
Minna turned back and reported what she had found to a few of her temporary "companions," and added: "The house on the left is separated by a grove of trees, and the wall is very high, so it should not matter, while the servant of the house on the right is preparing the carriage, and it is likely that the master is going out." ”
An old knight said, "Then let's wait for the family to leave before we take action." He and the other members of the team were all members of the Metropolitan Knights, perhaps thinking: None: Wrong: M. Minna's father had also been with the Metropolitan Knights for a few years, so he was kinder to Minna than others.
However, another member of the royal knights disagreed: "What if the enemy escapes?" Before leaving, the Security Department explained that the enemy this time is likely not human, and the sooner we catch people, we can also feel at ease as soon as possible. ”
Minna glanced at him, "What if you accidentally hurt an innocent person?" If it's really a demon, they'll never be soft on humans! ”
The other party immediately glared back: "If you delay the good time because of too many concerns, there will be more human victims!" "Young girls just need to stay at home obediently, and they are so full to come and participate in such a dangerous thing!
Minna seemed to feel the meaning in the other party's gaze, and was a little angry, and she also stared at him with a straight face.
Seeing this, the old knight who spoke just now reluctantly glanced at the team members and softly persuaded them: "Don't make any noise. Let's see what Your Excellency Monk has to say. ”
Minna and the royal knight listened to this, and they all turned their heads to look at the monk who had been silent with his eyes closed since just now, and the latter slowly opened his eyes and said, "I felt it just now, and there is an evil aura directly behind the house, but I don't know the exact location. However, this breath is probably not a demon, probably just a human being affected by the demon. ”
"So what are you waiting for? Let's do it right away! The knight of the royal family was about to rush out with his sword, but was vigorously pulled by Minna: "What's the hurry?!" Look at me! ”
She took out two eavesdropping balls, and with a wave of her wand, one of them rose slightly, flew across the street, towards the house opposite, through the open window, and into the interior of the house.
Minna quietly turned the ball left in her hand, and as the other ball traveled through the room, the conversation between the people in the room was faintly heard:
"Arena, go and change the sheets in the young master's room......"
“…… If you didn't do well for breakfast today, tell the cook not to make custard again. ”
"Yes, ma'am......"
“…… Wickhams, your friends have been living in our house for a few months, aren't they planning to move out? ”
"Grandmother, they are very quiet people and won't disturb you."
"But they are always gloomy and gloomy, and people feel chills in their hearts when they see them......"
The monk suddenly spoke, "What is that place?" Minna flipped through the floor plan of the house provided by the Intelligence Bureau and said, "It should be the guest room behind the restaurant." Entering through the doorway, there will be a corridor next to the living room, and at the end of the staircase is the garden, and the guest room should be on the right. "Speaking of which, it's pretty much exactly behind the house.
The monk nodded at the older knight of the capital, "You are in charge, I heard that you have handled similar cases. ”
The knight hesitated, but agreed. He didn't know the strength of the little girl Minna, but among the people present, when it came to this kind of encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that he was the most experienced, and he was also the oldest, and he believed that the arrogant royal knights should not refuse to obey his orders.
The neighbor's carriage on the right quickly left. Minna probed again with the trick to determine the distribution of people in several houses, and then the old knight gave an order, and rushed to the gate with five knights, and the monk also rolled up his sleeves, grasped the light magic weapon with both hands, and followed them in.
As soon as the soldiers in ambush received the signal, they rushed over and surrounded the house under the leadership of an officer, so that no one could escape.
The people in the house were startled when they saw a stranger rushing in with a weapon. Then the royal knight shouted, "Surrender!" Otherwise, you won't be killed! The women who had been sitting in the living room were so frightened that they screamed and cried, and he angrily shouted "quiet" to them, but they cried even harder.
The other knights were staring dryly, but fortunately, the commander quickly regained his consciousness and shouted to everyone: "Don't be in a daze! Hurry up! Then the people woke up and ran to the back of the house.
Minna secretly rolled her eyes, ignored them, and quickly jumped out of the window according to the impression in her memory, ran along the corner of the wall to the backyard, and outflanked her, just blocking the three men who wanted to escape after hearing the movement.
The knights also arrived at this time, and the royal knight who ran at the front pointed his sword at the three men, shouting for them to surrender. The three men exchanged glances with each other, and their faces were full of fear, trembling to their knees. Seeing that things were going well, the royal knight relaxed a little.
Suddenly, the three men jumped up in three directions, kicked down the knight who was in front of them, and was about to flee. Most of the knights were caught off guard, some of them were in a hurry, and by the time they could react, the three had already run out of the encirclement.
One of them was fleeing to the back door, and when he saw the door getting closer and closer, he was overjoyed, and before he could open his mouth, a red shadow flashed in front of him, and a white light pierced him. He hurriedly dodged, only to find that the person in front of him was a young girl of eighteen or nineteen.
This girl is none other than Minna, she held a sharp and cold ice sword, pointing directly at the left chest of the person in front of her: "Be honest with me!" ”
The man sneered, his body shook to the right, avoiding the direction of the sword's edge, and pushed forward with both hands, his five fingers spread widely, and in an instant, Sensen's sharp claws protruded, and he grabbed Minna's face. Minna bent backwards, narrowly dodging, and sent out four or five ice blades from her subordinates, three of which hit the man, with blood on his face and hands. The man seemed to be unaware of these wounds, and still attacked Minna's face and chest with his two claws open, and when she saw the glowing blue light on her nails, Minna was secretly frightened, thinking that it was poisonous?!
Whether it's poisonous or not, he can't get caught!
Minna's eyes rolled, and she continued to fight with the ice sword with her right hand, but her left hand reached behind her, took out a bottle of potion from the storage ring, and shook it a few times, and the potion quickly evaporated into the air. Minna uses water balloons, creating several large balls of water that "contain potions", moving them over the enemy's heads and throwing them, then quickly backing away from the splashes.
Enraged, the man spread his claws wide to lunge at Minna. Unexpectedly, Minna only recited a mantra lightly, and he was frozen from head to toe, and at first he could struggle a few times, but then he felt in a trance, and only a pair of eyes were left open from time to time, barely keeping him awake, so as not to lose consciousness completely.
Minna held a sword in one hand and a wand in the other, and flicked several reinforcing spells before relieving herself a little. Then the old knight and the monk arrived, and the latter was overjoyed and gave Minna an approving look before reciting a spell to the ice "statue".
I saw that the half-man and half-demon in the ice cube gradually began to change, and the claws quickly turned back into human hands, and then, even the color of the skin changed from white to blue to yellow. By the time the monk unsealed the ice, the man had completely collapsed to the ground, his whole body stiffened, and only one breath remained.
The round-up did not give the dying man a handout, only the monk symbolically recited a few prayers. The old knight said to Minna: "I didn't expect you to solve one so quickly, and the three of us were able to restrain the other." After a pause, he added: "I heard that you are from the Security Agency?" It's a ......."
A piercing scream came from the direction of the living room, and the old knight heard the voice of one of the people in the same group, frowned, and beckoned to Minna: "Go away, I'm afraid I'm in trouble!" Then he turned and ran, and suddenly felt a red shadow flash in front of him, and Minna was gone.
Minna arrived in the living room faster than him, and just happened to see a small man who had thought he had escaped, holding his long pointed nails against the neck of a young man wearing the uniform of a noble college, confronting the royal knight and the others, and he threatened them to let him go, or else he would stab the boy to death.
The knight of the royal family had a gloomy face, judging from the crying of the woman next to him, the young man was the eldest son of the family, and these three enemies all lived in this house in the name of his friends, maybe it was a conspiracy, so he wanted to ignore the life or death of the young man, and catch the person first.
Before he could move, he felt a strong wind blowing, blowing so that his eyes could not be opened. He only heard a porphyr, and hurriedly looked up, the enemy who was still fierce had fallen to the ground lifelessly, and the boy was trembling and was held in the arms of his mother, and standing beside the boy was the girl Minna, who he had not paid attention to, and the ice sword in her hand still had a trace of blood, indicating what had just happened.
The knight blinked, a little unresponsive.
The old knight whispered a few words to the family members, then stepped forward with a smile and said, "Great, the three prisoners are solved, let's go to the next one." ”
Minna glanced lightly at a few knights who were in a daze, nodded in response, and when she walked out of the gate, she couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace.
It's going well on her side, but I don't know how Melory and Alben, who stayed in the palace, are going well? Is Alex going to the pilgrimage today? What is he going to do?
With the sun shining down from the clouds and the breeze blowing gently, it looks like it's going to be a good day today.
Minna heard someone whispering, and when she looked around, she saw that it was the servants in the nearby house who were probing their brains to look at their uninvited guests, and they were talking in private. She touched her head and beckoned to the soldiers guarding the wall, asking them to bring in a few good horses so that her group could get to the next destination as soon as possible.
Although the enemies in this mansion were quickly cleared, there are still many places that have not been visited, not to mention, according to intelligence, there should be another demon on the run.
At this time, everyone's spirits were somewhat relaxed. Two soldiers were walking out the door, holding a knight with a mortal leg wound; The monk, at the cry of her mistress, prepared to recite a mantra to her frightened eldest son; The old knight endured the old lady's accusations and insults, and impatiently glanced at his companions, motioning for them to urge the monk to leave as soon as possible.
Everything is normal.
However, just as the monk began to chant a spell on the young man who had just been captured by the enemy as a hostage, a black gas suddenly appeared on the face of the young man who had been in a daze, and then he stretched out his arms and claws, and grabbed the monk closest to him.
(I'm sleepy today.,I can't hold on.,It's only so much.,I'm sorry...... I've been really wasted lately~~~ T_T )
