Chapter 168: Role-playing

While the horses were resting in a sheltered area at noon, Kane also noticed a detail:

The four exotic wizards recommended by Charlotte Byron went to no one to solve their internal emergencies for a long time, and when they returned, their spirits were visibly restored, their eyes were faintly red, and there was a faint smell of sulfur coming from their bodies.

He took the opportunity to tell Dumbledore and the others about his discovery: "These people are likely demon servants, beware of their mind seductive spells." ”

Dumbledore sighed slightly, he knew Charlotte's roots, and naturally knew that most of the people she had brought into the team under the guise of a guard were also members of the Key Society.

He sighed at Kane's insight and experience, and he could accurately deduce important information with just a little detail, and he had lived for more than a hundred years, and he had never seen a few such people.

The car was on the road again, and the afternoon was the hottest time of the day, but the wind was blowing was another story.

Due to the problem of choosing and driving the horses, the four guards were in trouble in the afternoon, and later annoyed Fran.

Fran was already in a bad mood, and when he met such an amateur guard, and Baron Wellingborough and his party were beside him, he lost his face to his grandmother's house, and he simply asked his coachman to help solve the problem.

The experience of riding a horse is less than that of a coachman, which is really a shame. Where is this knight, even a rider is not qualified.

The four of them were embarrassed, and Charlotte was also embarrassed, and it took several times to apologize to Fran.

Fran still has a basic demeanor, and in turn reassures Charlotte: "It's not your fault, maybe your relatives exaggerated their words when chatting." ”

In private, Fran felt that these four people were not doing things realistically, and they were afraid that their professional ability would not be good, so they had to be more vigilant.

Due to the delay of the guards, it was a while after dark, and the convoy arrived in Spaulding.

It is a small town, which is a natural post station due to its proximity to the main road, and has inns.

In fact, in this era, the nobles stayed outside the city, and they chose the local aristocratic family, even if the owner was not there, they could still stay overnight.

After all, there are only so many people in the aristocratic circle, and socializing is the main daily work of the aristocracy, almost all of them know each other, one of them is not clean when they live in the hotel, and the other is that they seem to be unpopular in the circle, which is very embarrassing.

The techno-nerd type Fran is actually okay, but he hates to say hello to people, "Oh, it's the Marquis of Scarborough." ”

That's right, it's the site of the original world's well-known Sarah Brightman's Scarborough Bazaar.

Unexpectedly, the main theme of the song was born in the land of what was once Scotland, describing the trade between the savage Celts and the equally savage Vikings, and the seaside market Scarborough.

And the truth in this world is that the sorcerer is the lord of the land, the arbiter of fair trade, because of the loneliness and danger of the ancient sea voyage, once gone, it may never be seen again, so there is this beautiful and slightly sad melody.

Arriving at Scarborough was already tomorrow, and because Fran, the tsundere techno-housekeeper, refused to bother the local nobles, the group could only spend the night at the hotel.

The country inn of this era is not as good as the later generations, it is worse in all aspects, and the business philosophy is not backward, diversified, and the first floor is a tavern.

Feeling guilty about the poor conditions of the hotel, Fran personally used a cleaning charm to clean the room one by one to apologize.

This behavior received Laura's implicit approval, and she felt that Fran was a gentleman, not like someone.

Well, that's right, someone is not considerate, gentle, and polite enough, but someone rarely can't even arrange a lodging problem, and they have to deworm on the spot when it comes to the end.

Even after cleaning, there are still old stains on the bed sheets and quilts.

Kane secretly scolded the store at this time is really solid enough, you say that you are not clean, just make a plaid cloth, striped cloth or something to cover up the ugliness, and use a white sheet, is this a special trip to disgusting people?

Fortunately, he even had a tent in his bag, but he was afraid that the car would break down halfway, and he had a sleeping bag.

In fact, staying overnight in this kind of country inn is really not much different from sleeping in a tent. After all, there was no heating in this era, and the fireplace was not available in every room, and the room was cold, damp, and smelled musty.

Laura is not as hypocritical as Kane, and she has been in a worse environment, so what makes her a little embarrassed is that she has to share a room with Dumbledore, after all, they are sisters in name, and the empty rooms here are not enough for the group to stay in a single room......

There is no doubt that no one will feel comfortable on this night, and it is completely a matter of coping with the night.

Of course, if it is more bitter, Lincoln and Kennedy are the most bitter, a stable patrol, a guest room aisle patrol, will not stop all night, puppets have no human rights.

But even so, something happened at night.

A drunken man staggered upstairs, still carrying the key to the house, and when he passed by Kennedy, the man's feet went limp, his body staggered, and he reached out and propped himself up on Kennedy.

Here's a detail, that is, in the face of this situation, Kennedy did not subconsciously backhand this person like ordinary people.

The next moment, the tenant dropped his wand from his sleeve, pointed at Kennedy, and whispered, "Avada suo!"

This trick had obviously been used more than once, and it was very slippery, and the hand that had been holding the key to Kennedy's body had been changed to holding his clothes, apparently to prevent him from falling down violently after his death, and even being a left-hander, holding the key in his right hand, in order to let the target let his guard down.

It's a pity that this time, all this is like pole dancing for a blind man, showing off in vain.

The man apparently failed to anticipate that Kennedy was a living dead man with no soul at all. When he realized that the situation was not right, it was too late, and he saw a fist the size of a rice bowl smashing into his face, and then he fell unconscious.

Almost at the same moment, another man rushed up from the top of the staircase, and when he saw his companion being knocked unconscious, he immediately cast a life-reeling spell on Kennedy.

Undoubtedly, it was the wrong choice, and Kennedy ran towards it as he raised his arm and fired a Hidden Arrow.

The Hidden Arrow and the Requisition Curse hit each other almost simultaneously, and Kennedy continued to charge, his heavy footsteps slamming against the wooden floor with the sound of war drums.

The sorcerer who was hit by the arrow stumbled, and then activated the illusion, discovering that the Hidden Arrow not only broke his iron armor spell, but also inhibited the casting of spells.

But at this time, it was too late to remove it, and he still successfully completed the apparition transformation.

At that moment, his body turned into countless twisted threads, shrinking and disappearing towards a central point.

In this situation, Kennedy's large hand plunged into nothingness, snatching the wizard out of the leap state, slamming it on the floor, knocking him unconscious.

When this series of events took place in the hallway, something happened in Fran's room, and a wizard used apparition to appear directly in the room.

But as soon as he appeared, he fell into the trap, like an insect that had fallen into a spider's web, firmly stuck to the invisible magic web, unable to move.

"Broken bones!" a wizard was also suspended outside the window, seeing his companion fall into a trap, he used a smashing charm on the glass window to try to break in and rescue him.

However, the window has a mirror spell that reflects magic. The wizard himself was hit, although it was not fatal, but it was also extremely uncomfortable, and he spurted blood on the spot.

The crowd was woken up by Kennedy's commotion, and Maria came out of Kane's room and said to Fransch, who had a gloomy face: "My lord said that these people should first be chained to the stables and suffer some hardships, and then they will be tried again at the manor, and they will rest first, and they will have to hurry tomorrow." ”

The people thought it was feasible and went back to their rooms, and as they entered the house, Fran glanced at the white marks on the lips of one of the guards, and said nothing.

This is known as the night of the watch, the room is next to Fran's room, said that there is an abnormality can be heard, but it turns out that the day is too hard to travel, sitting on a chair against the door and falling asleep......

Early the next morning, the local sheriff arrived, seemingly respectful, but in fact somewhat forceful in his desire to take over the three attackers.

That's when Kane's title of Baron of Wellingborough came in handy, especially with Richard, a not particularly erudite impostor lawyer who had no difficulty in bluffing people in small places of the era.

I don't know the value of authority. This incident made Fran feel that it was a wise choice to invite Willingborough to accompany him. At the same time, he also has a little more enthusiasm for the upcoming position of marquis.

The three sorcerers who had sneaked up on the attack had been frozen in the stables for half a night, and it seemed that it was no longer possible, and they could die at any time.

Kane nodded slightly at Maria.

Maria neatly took out the medical equipment from the leather bag she was carrying, and gave each of the three people a needle in the past, without sterilization or anything, just completed the injection one by one.

Although as early as the 15th century, the Italian Canettir proposed the principle of syringes, it was not until 1853, that is, in the first half of this year, that the Frenchman Pravaz invented the piston hypodermic syringe, which was made of silver and had a capacity of only one milliliter.

That's what Maria uses now.

Kane explained to Fran: "This is a plant essence extracted by Native American wizards, which can strengthen the divine body, increase the vitality of organs, and is a longevity medicine. But for wizards, it extracts supernatural elements, and it is a potion used to disqualify the casting of spells, and I was profligate in my early years, and my body was broken, and this medicine was supposed to be for my own use......"

Fran and Dumbledore were shocked to hear this.

What could be a crueler punishment than completely depriving a wizard of his ability to cast spells? Dumbledore would rather go to prison in Azkaban than endure such a long life.

Franxin said: "What John said is indeed reasonable, although Auston is not a wizard, but his means of dealing with wizards are not weak at all. ”

The cobwebs and mirror reversal spells that had been set up in his room last night were the methods of Yuna Percival, which also gave Franco a look.

Kane and his party are all reliable, and looking at the guards Charlotte found, Fran Xin said: "I'm really afraid of everything......"

Fran brings subjective emotions, and the perspective of looking at people changes.

In his eyes, the four guards didn't pretend to be strong today, so they found a carriage from the small town of Spaulding to ride.

However, in the specific operation process, there was another situation, which made him suspicious.

They actually exchanged four war horses for two half-used two-horse carriages.

He wondered: Is this a low IQ? Or is it too generous?

War horses are very expensive, not only have a good bloodline, carefully raised, but also have the quality of not being alarmed in the face of guns, and strictly trained.

In addition, you have to consider injuries, bone wear and tear, etc., and the time available is often only a few years. And these four horses are the year of fighting.

Suffice it to say, the salary of the average British person in this era could not even afford the daily expenses of a war horse like this!

Looking at another set of data, this time he hired the guards for one week, and he provided meals and lodging, and paid 20 pounds per person. (about equivalent to 46,000 yuan now) This is already double the salary of ordinary guards on the market.

These four people don't seem to have any concept of money, and they are obviously picky about food and drink, and they don't understand anything, Fran feels that they are more like rich children than him, but they don't have the quality of nobility, and their behavior is rude and rude......

"Who are these people?" Fran asked in his heart.

Fran's dissatisfaction and suspicion of the guards, Kane saw it in his eyes and laughed secretly.

What kind of people?

As long as you are not a modern person living in a slum or a backward mountain village, you are basically all kinds of young masters and young ladies who are not used to it and don't know what to do, so you can only watch with your hands.

Not only because the material life of this era is not rich enough, but also because I do not understand and adapt to the life mode of this era, especially the details.

To put it bluntly, the pre-work was not done well, and he came to play role-playing more than a hundred years ago with a head, which is naturally not like it. Indigenous people are not brain-dead.

Fran is in a sensitive period, and this is a suspicion, and more memory details are turned out by him.

Charlotte Byron, who was implicated by his Pigs teammates, was also suspected by Fran.

He rummaged through the old accounts and found that Charlotte also had a lot of suspicions, and judging from her detailed performance, she did not have the characteristics of a lady and a celebrity.

"How did I get so close to her so quickly that I talked about marriage?"

Fran's mood changed, and Charlotte naturally saw it, and she asked with concern.

Fran was perfunctory at first, and was anxious to be asked, and began to lie: "Last night's assassination made me think that the inheritance would inevitably cause a storm." How can we suppress this malice and inherit the rights quickly and fairly, I think I have to talk to Ted about it. ”......
