Chapter 597: Asdelik Manor
The town of Demer is a relatively prosperous town in the southern part of the Flying Eagle Empire, because not far to the southwest of the town is the notorious Viking Port of the Flying Eagle Empire, the largest pirate port on the coast of the Stormy Sea.
Due to its proximity to Pirate Harbor, the town of Demer is home to a group of shady merchants who specialize in selling stolen goods, and there are several estates and farms outside the town that do not have a way out.
Cheese, beef and sheep, fruit......
These were the pirates' favorites, and the fact that the lord of the manor could buy the cheapest slaves in the pirate harbor also contributed to the deformed prosperity of the small town.
Not long ago, there were several serious pirate raids in the town of Demer, after which a large number of merchants left the town, and the lord of the manor spent a lot of gold to train private soldiers to defend against the pirates in Viking Harbor.
Viking Harbor also ushered in a period of downturn, until Ken appeared, established a branch of the Pirate Alliance in Viking Harbor, restrained pirates, and signed treaties with the surrounding towns, which made Viking Harbor more and more prosperous, and the surrounding towns also ushered in a long and deformed prosperity.
Outside the small town of Demer, Asdelik Fruit Estate.
The lord of the manor is a strange man, he has never been seen in the small town of Demer, but according to the servants he hired, the lord of the manor is like a madman and a puppet who has been manipulated.
His voice was hoarse and terrifying, and his behavior was deliberate, like a puppet.
However, his slaves were afraid of him, and it is said that those who dared to be lazy or complain had disappeared silently, and no one dared to rebel against him, and Asderic's Manor was not full of sunshine and greed for gold like other estates.
It seemed to hide darkness that sent chills through the hearts of people when they approached it.
If it weren't for the fact that the fruits of the estate were cheaper, many merchants would not want to come here.
So, when Andy and Charles were asking which manor was special, they all gave the same answer, Asderick Manor!
As with the name Peter gave him, it seems that the guy did not lie to him.
Andy smiled with satisfaction and walked with Charles towards Asderick Manor.
Asdelik Manor, under the castle, in a gloomy basement.
The weather-mottled walls were inscribed with special runes, and several strange paintings hung on the walls, one of which was the one used by the captain of the Bluenose for sacrifice, a demon with horns, and a maiden burned by fire.
The flame of the candle flickered, reflecting an eerie shadow on the wall.
"Why! Why did it fail again!?"
Augustine's angry voice echoed through the castle's basement, and several rats, frightened, chirped in their cages.
On the table in the laboratory, the liquid in several crystal bottles was bubbling, and in a fish tank, a rotting sea beast had tumbled and floated on the water, looking dead.
The sea beast was a little strange, it had eight soft legs similar to an octopus, each of which was a sea snake, and the head of this sea beast was a shark head full of sharp teeth.
It was stitched together by Augustine from the corpses of several sea beasts, some of which he had bought from other alchemists or pirates for a large amount of gold, and some of which he had killed.
Augustine had spent countless gold coins for this experiment over the course of several years, yet so far he had not made it once.
"No, I don't believe it! Something must have gone wrong! I can definitely create a powerful invincible sea beast!"
Augustine looked at the things on the table, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes, I don't know why, he always had a very bad feeling tonight, not because of the failure of the experiment, but because of some other kind of induction.
"Could it really be that something happened to Peter?"
Augustine sensed that a sea beast he had created had been killed yesterday, but at that time, his new experiment was at a critical time, so he didn't think much about it, just thinking that Peter might have encountered a more powerful sea beast or a storm.
After all, in the Stormy Sea, the enemy of the pirates is not only the navy, but also the storms that occur from time to time.
In the event of a storm, it is a good idea to use sea beasts to help stabilize the sailboat, but in the case of violent storms, the waves and waves can easily crush the sea beasts made by witchcraft.
After all, they are not real sea beasts, and while they have attack power far beyond ordinary sea beasts, their defense power is also much weaker than ordinary sea beasts.
However, Augustine's faint sense of unease today made him suspicious, if it was not the storm, but Peter had encountered a truly powerful enemy?
You know, Augustine is not only Andy's enemy, he is known as the most powerful wizard in the Flying Eagle Empire, some people fear him, and naturally some people are jealous of him and covet his dark sea beasts to make witchcraft.
Therefore, the suspicious Augustine naturally suspected that perhaps someone was trying to calculate him.
Augustine raised his head, looked at the murals on the wall, and showed a sinister smile, over the years, there have been many people who want to trouble him, but the fate of those people is miserable!
Augustine walked to the corner of the basement, where the rats in the cage squeaked, and through their filthy and messy hair, the half-rotted bodies under the hair could be faintly seen.
The eyes of those rats were glowing red, and black gas flashed in their bodies from time to time, exuding a terrifying aura, if Andy saw these rats, he would definitely be able to see that they were carrying the curse of the Black Death!
Andy's Black Fantasy was stolen from Augustine.
And the Book of Plague and Death is in the Black Fantasy!
Augustine was able to combine the plague with his sea beasts, which has proven that his research and harvest of plague and death witchcraft is no worse than Andy's!
"Come on, I'm going to see which one of the deadly creatures wants to try my curse, ......."
In the basement, the light of the candle flickered rapidly, stretching Augustine's shadow longer and longer.
......
"This is it, and I can smell the bad smell of that guy from a long distance. ”
Andy's eyes flashed with excitement to chase his prey, he lowered his voice, pointed to the castle not far ahead, and said to Charles.
Sure enough, as those people said, there was a dark smell in the castle, which was the effect of Augustine's experiments in the basement of the castle for many years.
"Chief, there are quite a few people in the manor. ”
