Chapter 136: Change of Strategy
Katrina wore a red dress that hugged her undulating curves.
Thin, see-through fabric, with a fishtail skirt that spreads out, Katrina sways downstairs, reminiscent of the legendary seductive Kraken who lives in the sea.
The corners of her eyes use shiny gold dust to depict the reincarnation of the tail of her eyes, and her smile is charming.
The red dress outlines Caterina's beautiful figure, Eve Gaskin has proud twin peaks, and Lady Catrina has slender legs and extremely attractive hip curves.
"You're not inviting me to do a dance?"
She walked straight up to the Lord and Eve, her eyes half-open and half-closed, like the legendary banshee of the Holy See. The city lord unconsciously let go of the hand holding Eve Gaskin.
"Yes, I cordially invite you, my beauty."
With a wave of her hand, the movement of the harp mutated, and she pulled the lord of the city to slide on the dance floor.
A dance made the city lord's breathing heavier, Katrina smiled like a flower, and her fans were breathing faster than the city lord because of the reversal of the plot.
Eve Gaskin stood alone, a teenage girl, humiliated by a change of events, and almost burst into tears on the spot.
The lord of the castle and Madame Catrina chose the opening dance, and the ball was completely ignited.
No one comforted Miss Eve, and the Viscountess took her by the hand and refused to admit defeat in front of others.
No one paid attention to Liu Ci's master and servant in the corner.
By the time Katrina appeared, she had already slipped out of the flower hall with Nana.
Mrs. Catherina's garden is full of hydrangeas, which are in bloom and are gradually blooming. Nana brought a full plate of food, and sat on the flower shadow swing with Liu Ci and chatted happily while eating. Anyway, the noble ladies at the ball don't know how to eat...... The best grilled lamb chops, it's too wasteful not to eat them.
The swing swayed slowly, and Liu Ci finished eating the steak very elegantly, but looked up and saw an acquaintance.
Gray mage robes swept over the flower branches, a tall, thin and handsome young mage.
Izzy Casey, what is he here for?
Due to the angle, Liu Ci and Nana's swing was hidden among the hydrangea trees, and she could see Casey very well, but Casey didn't pay much attention to her surroundings.
is to find that Liu Ci and Nana are just two ordinary people in his eyes, without the slightest threat.
Casey stopped a maid and gave a few words, and the maid ran to the ball.
After a while, Lady Catherina, who was supposed to be in love with the lord of the city, came out alone and saw Casey, and she did not hide the surprise in her eyes.
The joy was more real than when she found out that the city lord had come to the ball.
"You're here."
The charming Mrs. Catrina spoke with the charm of a young daughter, almost scaring Nana's eyes.
Liu Ci noticed that Teacher Casey of the Academy of Magic and Mrs. Catrina both had a pair of ocean-blue eyes. If you look closely, the faces of the two are also three-pointed, especially the eyes.
"Katrina, do you really understand that the marriage relationship sworn under the witness of the God of Light is sacrosanct?! The lord of the castle is a round older than you, his eldest son is the same age as you, and most importantly, his wife is still lying in the hospital bed......"
Casey was pale, as if struggling to suppress his anger.
When Katrina heard his words, her face instantly became more bloodless than that of Casey, who was a mage.
The joy of seeing Casey faded, and Catrina was furious:
"You don't have to worry about my business!"
Kathy's eyes ached, "Katrina, aren't we living well now?" My salary in the Academy of Magic is enough for the two of us, and even if you want to get married for the third time, you shouldn't find the city lord. ”
Casey spoke earnestly, but Katrina turned her head to the side and ignored him. Casey said a long list of words, and the two couldn't communicate, so Casey had to leave in a hurry.
Katrina stood in place with her skirt lifted, looking at Casey's back, biting her red lip.
It wasn't until the maid came running and said that Eve Gaskin was making trouble in the venue again, that Mrs. Katrina took the maid's hand and turned to go in.
Liu Ci threw a cherry into her mouth, but she didn't expect her and Nana to hide in the depths of the flower shadow and listen to the big secret.
Why didn't she expect that someone from the Academy of Magic would be involved?
"Let's go."
Putting the plate down, Liu Ci got up and wanted to leave.
Nana's eyes widened, "Miss, aren't you waiting for Mrs. Catrina to finish the prom?" ”
It took so much effort, isn't it just to make the most important lover of the city lord? Nana couldn't understand why Liu Ci chose to leave at the last moment.
Liu Ci's face was also not very pleasant.
It's a failure, it's a failure...... Mrs. Betty's news is not so accurate, at least she did not mention the relationship between Izzy Casey and Mrs. Catrina, a courtesan, otherwise Liu Ci would not have made a crooked plan. didn't expect that the matter had something to do with the Academy of Magic, she was too self-righteous.
scolded Dean XX in his heart, Liu Ci took Nana and left Katrina's small castle decisively.
When the carriage passed through the gate of the Academy of Magic, Liu Ci's eyes were extraordinarily gloomy.
The ball ended, the guests dispersed one after another, but the lord of the castle stayed in Katrina's mansion, which is self-evident.
Holding the lord of the castle by the arm, Madame Catrina smiled like a flower as she sent off the guests, and also remembered the mysterious girl who gave her her dress. As soon as the dance began, she had never seen the black-haired girl again, and the other party was probably just one of her fans, right?
The man beside her, the lord of Amster, fought against the Holy See in a parish of impure faith.
If Casey is willing to help her, it will be very easy for her to become the next lady of the city lord with the power of the Academy of Magic...... Thinking of Casey's reproach to her tonight, Katrina left Liu Ci's appearance behind.
So, where is Liu Ci now?
……
sent Nana back to the hotel, and Liu Ci touched the city lord's mansion alone.
The lord's mansion was not in the suburbs, and the lord's wife was sick all year round, and in order to facilitate the treatment of the priests, the lord's family also lived in the city of Amster.
The defense of the City Lord's Mansion was very tight, and among the hidden piles found by Liu Ci, there were actually four mages.
If it weren't for the magic element that was triggered when the talisman was activated, she would have really capsized in the gutter today.
Through the layers of guards, Liu Ci came to the base of the wall behind the castle. Staring at the stone wall with an expressionless face, Liu Ci was looking forward to the "wall piercing charm". It is an earth-based talisman belonging to the five elements, which can only be drawn in the middle of the foundation building, and it is at the same level as the "Wind Talisman".
When Liu Ci can pass through the wall, she will also fly!
Burning another earth-based spirit rune, Liu Ci's palm was tightly attached to the stone wall of the castle. The slender girl with the giant sword on her back, like a gecko, turned her palm into a suction cup and quickly climbed the wall. When he climbed near the window, Liu Ci drew the giant sword, and under the infusion of spiritual power, the railing irrigated with molten iron was cut like tofu.
She grabbed the falling glass window in a thrilling way, bent over her waist, and bent down into the window.
The corridors of the castle were covered with red carpets, and Liu Ci didn't have to worry about making a sound when he walked.
The adult son does not like to live with his parents, and there is a second lady in the city lord's family, who also goes to Katrina's ball tonight...... Liu Ci secretly thought that if she gave birth to a daughter in the future and ran to her father's lover's ball when her mother was seriously ill, she would rather strangle her when she was born, so as not to grow up and be troubled.
I don't know which room the city lord's wife is in?
Liu Ci searched for a long time and sneaked into the place where the maids were resting at night.
These maids were talking about the poor lady of the city lord, and the priest of light who had probably been invited to conclude that she did not have long to live, and even her own daughter ran to please her future stepmother, a huge castle, and there was only one master tonight.
"Is it time for the medicine left by the priest?"
One of the maids exclaimed and stood up.
The medicine in the glass exuded a fragrance, Liu Ci hid in the dark, smelled the faint fragrance, and felt a little familiar.
What the priest of light left behind was an expensive magic potion, and no matter how pitiful the city lord's wife was, she was also their master, and the maid did not dare to slack off, so she left with the potion.
Liu Ci followed her to a room on the top floor.
The moonlight was bright, the candles were bright, and on a large bed lay a withered woman. As long as she glanced at it, Liu Ci could see that she was indeed very sick.
She was so weak that she had to be supported by a maid to get up even if she was taking medicine.
The maid served her and drank the cold potion and bowed respectfully. The large room was completely silent again, and when the footsteps of the maid gradually faded away, the sick and dying lady of the city lord barely stood up, took out a handkerchief from under the pillow, and vomited all the medicine she had just drunk.
There was blood in the potion, which she had brought out of her cough.
"Huh." Liu Ci, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but make a sound, and she found that everyone was quite smart.
"Who is it and who's there?"
The city lord's wife was very inward-looking, and there was another cough when she spoke.
Liu Ci Shi Ran walked out of hiding and closed the door with his hand.
"Ma'am, it's useless for you to spit out the potion, the Misty Grass has destroyed your body. IMHO, you don't have much time left. ”
When the city lord's wife spit the potion on the silk handkerchief, Liu Ci also remembered what the familiar smell was.
Growing deep in the Moloch Mountains, the rare Misty Grass can be mixed with some potions to produce characteristic poisons. This grass is useless to ordinary people, it is configured for magicians, it can slowly melt away the magic power in the mage's body, and the poisoned person will eventually run out of qi and blood, and weaken to death.
Unexpectedly, the city lord's wife turned out to be a magician?
Who was harming her with the weed? It seems that the city lord's wife is not stupid, but it was too late to find out.
Liu Ci looked at the surrounding environment, alone in the large room on the top floor of the castle, saying that it was a retreat, more like a captivity.
Will the city master drag his wife to death?
"Who are you...... Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, he can't even wait for this little time, it's ridiculous. ”
The Lord's Wife laughed sarcastically.
"Tsk, madam, you should have faith in God...... Can't I have come to save you? ”
Liu Ci has no antidote to the misty grass, but she has a "rejuvenation charm" in her hand, and if the city lord's wife has value worthy of her rescue, she doesn't mind reaching out to help the other party.
Anyway, she wanted to change her strategy.
