Chapter 101: Saving Private Sean
……
Two hours ago, in front of the door where Sean Sterling was being held.
A cloaked black figure stood silently in the pre-dawn darkness, looking at the richly decorated mansion with a luxurious courtyard in front of him, and a smile appeared on the face hidden under the cloak.
"The guards are too lax." The man in black said silently.
In fact, as he said, not only was the gatehouse unguarded at this time, but even the guards who had been standing in front of the gate all the time were gone, and the mansion that King Charles used to put Sean Sterling under house arrest was completely undefended at this time.
Obviously, with the arrival of the final decisive battle, the defense of this luxurious prison has been relaxed to the extreme, and the soldiers who dare to fight, or have the heart to die, have been emptied, and the militia who lack the above two points will naturally not stay here in the middle of the night.
Undoubtedly, this facilitated the rescue of Sean Sterling by the Men in Black.
"Father Sean, I'll be here to save you right away!"
The man in black said, ran to the gate of the mansion quickly, tiptoe a little, his body flew up, and landed on the iron gate, the original pattern made for the beauty of the gate is very easy to climb, the man in black stepped on the pattern to climb to the top of the gate, he carefully climbed over the top of the gate with a row of spear tips, came to the mansion, and then jumped to the lawn as lightly as possible.
In good conscience, this man in black's light kung fu is not very clever, and there is no comparison with those snitches who are good at light skills in the Eastern Continent, but the defense of this courtyard is too lax at this moment, even if this man in black makes a little noise, it can't alarm anyone.
Replacing the regular army to guard the prison were several militiamen, who had been ordinary people for most of their lives, and the guys who had been temporary cameos in jailers were ridiculously low, and they had already picked a room in the mansion and fell asleep.
The black clothes touched the door of the mansion in the middle of the courtyard, pushed the door hard, and found that the main door had been locked, obviously, the militia still had some common sense.
But this can't stop the man in black, he stepped back a few meters, suddenly raised his speed and ran a few steps, and once again toe to the ground, jumping into the air!
There was a soft "bang", and this time he grabbed the edge of the balcony on the second floor!
The man in black didn't dare to use his fighting spirit to increase his strength, his sixth-level silver fighting spirit was too obvious in the dark night, and it was easy to be discovered by people from afar, so he had to grit his teeth and climb up with his arms, fortunately, he had been in the army in his early years, and his strength was not bad, so he climbed onto the balcony on the second floor.
It was already very valuable for the militia to lock the main entrance, and they didn't care about the door to the balcony on the second floor, so the man in black successfully sneaked into the mansion through the balcony on the second floor.
Through the past few days of inquiry, he has learned that Sean Sterling is being held in a secret room in this mansion.
This secret room is hidden in the study of the original owner on the third floor of the mansion, and the original owner does not need to ask, he must be a nobleman, and ordinary people, even if they are wealthy merchants, it is impossible to live in such a magnificent house.
In this era, how much wealth a person can have is closely related to his social status, and if a person has more wealth than his status, then he will soon become a fat sheep coveted by the superiors.
The so-called puff is not guilty, and this is the truth.
And because this nobleman was on the wrong side in last year's incident, his family has been completely cleansed, and this mansion has been confiscated as official property, which is why King Charles can use this mansion to imprison Sean Sterling.
However, speaking of which, using such a gorgeous and comfortable mansion to imprison Sterling, instead of using an ordinary prison, shows that King Charles is still not thin on Sean Sterling, but whether Sterling will be grateful to him for this is a matter of opinion......
The man in black followed the stairs to the top of the third floor, and after a few moments, he found the original owner's study.
The light was on in the study, and a militiaman dressed in a coarse cloth and with a long sword pinned to his waist was napping on a large desk.
The man in black glanced left and right, and came to the militia lightly.
He didn't plan to find the location of the secret room himself, because that would be neither efficient nor easy to discover, so it would be better to do the opposite, grab his tongue, and control it completely!
"Wake up!"
The man in black grabbed the militiaman by the throat with one hand and slapped him on the back of the head with the other!
"You're sick...... Yes?! ”
The militiaman opened his eyes in a daze, and just wanted to scold the bastard who disturbed his dreams, but found a figure standing in front of him who was hidden in a black cloak and couldn't see his face clearly, and he was almost terrified!
"You...... Who are you?! The militiaman asked, frightened.
"If you want to die, be obedient!" The man in black said coldly.
"Okay, okay, as long as you spare my life, I will listen to you whatever you say!" The militia hurriedly spoke.
The man in black smiled, very satisfied with the militia's understanding of current affairs.
"Where's the secret room?"
"Secret ...... Chamber? The militiaman's expression was inexplicable, "What secret room?" ”
The green tendons on the door of the man in black jumped, and he shouted, "Don't play stupid! It's the secret room where Sean Sterling is being held! ”
"Oh." Seeing that he couldn't get through, the militiaman honestly stretched out his finger and pointed in a direction, there were books on the bookshelf over there, and the door opened with a pull.
"Over there?" The man in black gave him a quick look, then turned back to look at the militiaman, and he felt that this kid was not as honest as he looked.
"Go and open the door for me!" He commanded.
"This ......" The militiaman's face was suddenly full of bitterness, and he would definitely be ridiculed by his friends if he left the prisoner on the first day he came to work.
It's just that he has to have a life first.
"If you don't open the door, I'll break your neck now!" The man in black threatened.
The militia had no choice but to compromise and agreed to open the door for the men in black.
"Don't play tricks! To tell you the truth, master, I have a sixth-level fighting spirit level, and pinching you to death is like pinching a bedbug to death! The man in black said viciously.
"Understood, understood." The militia stood up, went to the door of the bookshelf, groped for a while, grabbed a large tome of a red book, and pulled it out.
Suddenly, a sound of a mechanism sounded, the bookshelf was removed, and a heavy iron door appeared in front of the man in black.
The man in black looked at the iron gate and asked the militiaman, "Where is the key?" ”
"In ...... Over here. The militiaman shuddered and took out the key from his body and threw it to the man in black.
The black clothes took the key and looked at it, smiled with satisfaction, and rushed to the militiaman's side with an arrow, and slammed his palm on the back of the militiaman's neck, knocking him unconscious.
However, his movement was a bit loud this time, and there was an immediate reaction in the iron gate.
"Who?!" The sound is like a bell, calm and resolute, it is the voice of Sean Sterling.
The man in black was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Father Sean, it's me!" ”
Sterling, who had just gotten up from bed, suddenly had a few black lines hanging down his head, and it was estimated that there was only one person in the world who would call him "Father Sean", and that was the ......
At this moment, there was a sound of the lock and key, and the heavy iron door was pushed open, and a man in black walked in.
"Jim, why are you here to save me?" Sterling asked, looking like water.
The man in black put down his hood when he heard this, his head bowed slightly, and his big face covered with flesh, who is Jim, not the tavern owner?
"Father, I heard that you have been placed under house arrest by the traitor Charlie, and I have been planning to save you all this time, and now I can be regarded as saving you!"
"How many times have I said it, don't call me a priest!"
Sterling said angrily, since he woke up in the tavern, this guy named Jim has been calling him a priest, he explained to him I don't know how many times, the Sean Sterling who dealt with him a while ago was pretending to be an assassin, he didn't listen, he didn't say that he was joking with him, I heard him say that he was going to go to the apostate King Charlie, and this thing came with a dead face, saying that he wanted to help him.
Sterling is a sore egg, and he is not a stabber, he really wants to find a place to live, but he can't do anything about this guy named Jim.
Just kidding, he can't just kill this thing because it's annoying, right? He's not the killer type.
It's just that they separated after entering the city a while ago, but I didn't expect this thing to come to save him again at this time......
"Father, I know that you were arrested after failing to assassinate Charlie, so I will rescue you, let's plan again, how to kill Charlie, a traitor!" Boss Jim's eyes lit up as he proposed.
"Stab you, big-headed ghost, sting!" Sterling was so angry that he burst into foul mouths.
"I understand, I understand!"
Boss Jim immediately made a clear expression, if you want to hide from the enemy, you have to hide it from your own people first, Father Sean's mind is so meticulous that he is so happy, so that the assassination of King Charles will be more certain, right?
Sterling had an urge to vomit blood, but he really had no interest in staying in this prison any longer, although he was quite comfortable here, except that he had no freedom, he ate better than King Charles, and lived more comfortably than King Charles, but it was always very depressing to not be free!
"Let me ask you, has anything happened lately?" It's been too much of a closed time, and Sterling doesn't know anything about the arrival of the Blood Army.
"Yes!" Jim nodded hurriedly, "The Blood Clan launched the Blood Migration a year in advance, and has already defeated the coalition army, killed outside the city, and has been attacking the city for the past few days!" ”
"What?!" Stirling stood up suddenly, he didn't know what would happen if the Blood Clan launched the Blood Migration a year in advance, and now I don't know how many civilians outside have already made the blood food in their mouths!
Seeing that Sterling reacted so much, Jim smiled and waved his hand, and said, "What is this, there is something more amazing!" ”
"What's more amazing than the Blood Clan going south a year earlier?" Sterling asked, incredulous.
"yes!" Boss Jim nodded, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his face: "Charlie, that idiot, I don't know if it's in the water, and he wants to take the whole city out of the city to fight to the death with the blood clan, saying that he wants to protect the people who have not been killed by the blood clan, and avenge the people who have died in the mouth of the blood clan or something, if you want me to say it, he is just talking big, when can we humans fight field battles with the blood clan in the past thousands of years?" Charlie, this traitor, will definitely retreat, hey! Father Sean, Father Sean, where are you going?! ”
Before Boss Jim finished speaking, Sean Sterling had already rushed out of the secret room like the wind!
