Chapter 19: Race against Time

Strong fortresses are often breached from within. www.biquge.info With Louis as the "leading party", Andy and Catherine were much more convenient in Fort Collins.

So when the city guards searched around Andas City for Andy's tired dog, Andy had already finished bathing and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with Catherine, and from time to time commented on the skills of the chefs of the City Lord's Mansion.

Of course, Andy didn't indulge in enjoyment, he just relaxed his tense nerves a little. He knew that his crisis was not over, because the voodoo puppet could only control Louis for 48 hours. After that, whether he was killed, released, or imprisoned, it was inevitable that the people of the City Lord's Mansion would find out. After all, the steward of a castle is no longer a dispensable role. So Andy's safe time is only two days. He intends to improve his strength as soon as possible.

The first shortcut he wanted to take was to find out where the "Prague Answering Chair" was going, after all, it could increase his mental power level, once he had the spiritual power of a high-level wizard apprentice, he would be able to quickly learn 3 Level 1 witchcraft, and his combat power would increase greatly.

Unfortunately, the news he received from Steward Louis was not very good, according to Louis, the wealth looted from the Wizard's Tower, except for some ordinary warehouses that were stored in Fort Collins, most of the precious items and resources related to wizards were put into the vault of the City Lord's Mansion. Louis knew the location of the vault of the City Lord's Mansion, but the location of the vault was in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and it was not far from the residence of the Grand Knight Cromwell.

For a while, it seems that the idea of "Prague Answering Chair" will not be played, and Andy can only think long-term. After he and Catherine finished dinner, they asked Louis to watch the door in the outer living room, and then they both entered the meditation to study the model for building a level 1 witchcraft,

At this moment, they are racing against time.

..............................

Viscount Colin was angry, and the reason for his anger was certainly not because of some "little bugs" who couldn't make any waves, but because of Vaughn, the legendary marshal who was far away in the Silverwing Fortress.

He had just received news that Vaughn's elite Knights, the kamikaze, would arrive in Dallas in three days, claiming that they had come to escort strategic resources to Silverwing.

This reason is only believed, because Dallas is the logistics base of the Silver Wing Fortress, so the road from Dallas City to the Silver Wing Fortress is an important lifeline. This road has been swept over and over again, whether it is monsters or bandits, even if one of Viscount Colin's knights can lead the team to complete the task of escorting supplies to the Silver Wing Fortress, which is exactly what he has done before.

This time, the "kamikaze knights" were actually dispatched, and it was an army with two big knights and several knights, which could almost bulldoze Dallas City. Viscount Colin believed that the "kamikaze Knights" were not aimed at monsters, enemy spies, or bandits that might exist on the road, but against him, Viscount Colin.

Thinking of the letter from Marshal Vaughan he received a few days ago, Viscount Colin was on pins and needles, and he knew that if he couldn't make up the deficit and give an explanation to Marshal Vaughan of Silverwing Fortress this time, maybe Marshal Vaughn would give him an explanation.

Fortunately, he decisively raided the Wizard's Tower and harvested a lot of resources from it. It's a pity that although there are many resources, the magic stones in them are not enough to fill the shortfall. Because of the frequent use of magic mirrors, the strategic materials appropriated by Viscount Colin are mainly magic stones. This reminded Viscount Colin of the Night Circus, which was still in the city. As the largest dealer of sorcery resources on the Duolun Continent, the Darkmoon Circus must have enough magic stones to trade. Viscount Colin could trade the confiscated resources with the Night Circus for magic stones to fill the shortfall.

Unable to avoid long nights and dreams, Viscount Colin wanted to contact the Night Circus overnight to agree to complete the transaction tomorrow during the day. He asked the maid to find Louis, the butler, but the maid did not find him. Viscount Colin secretly cursed this guy who couldn't hold up the wall in the mud, and thought about where to hide and fool around with the maid, if it weren't for the fact that guy was his wife's cousin, he would have driven this guy out of the city lord's mansion.

Viscount Colin had no choice but to call the McCann Knight and tell him to contact the head of the Darkmoon Circus to make a deal for tomorrow.

Looking at the back of the McCann knight leaving, Viscount Colin was in a mood of ups and downs, but now was not the time to sigh, and he also had to ask someone to deal with the accounting. Before the "kamikaze" arrives, he must make everything look seamless.

At this moment, Viscount Colin raced against time.

..................

At this point, in a dark alleyway in the slums, John Knight, oh no, it's Mr. Kamen Rider Schmidt who once again connects with the lion training girls of the Night Circus.

This time, instead of carrying her lion, the maiden wore a cloak that covered her whole body, and after the two exchanged the passwords, the maiden told Schmidt an important news, that is, the "kamikaze Knights" were coming to Dallas City in three days to protect their strategic reserves, which was a major threat to their plans.

Schmidt gasped when he heard the news, it seemed that his plan was going to be stepped up, or they might not have a chance to wait for the kamikaze to enter the city.

Of course, he is not unprepared, he is still somewhat sure of completing the task, not to mention that he also added a new general yesterday.

Yesterday, he used his true face to entrap Bill, a high-level wizard apprentice, and what better way to set fire to supplies than a high-level wizard apprentice who is proficient in fireball.

It was he who quietly sent a message to Bill to leave Phillips Manor early, so that Bill was not affected by the raid of the City Lord's Mansion. Because of John's appearance, when he kidnapped Gera and Bill, he used Schmidt's face to claim that Stein's friend was in contact with Bill.

Unexpectedly, this kid not only fled by himself, but also brought a powerless oil bottle, a girl named Gela. Schmidt quickly thought of the girl's role, and in a few words he provoked the girl's hatred for the murderer, who was immersed in the sad atmosphere of losing her parents

。 The culprit of everything was Viscount Colin, who couldn't help but send people to level Phillips Manor and raid Stein's wizarding tower. So whether it's to avenge the girl or to vent his anger on his mentor, Bill has to find Viscount Colin's bad luck.

It is obviously unwise to deal with Viscount Colin and break into the heavily defended City Lord's Mansion. So Schmidt mentioned that Viscount Colin was responsible for guarding some important materials, and if the materials were missing or destroyed, he would definitely be condemned by his superiors, and to destroy those materials, he only needed to find the opportunity to set them on fire.

Hearing the fire, Bill's eyes lit up, saying that he was still good at it, and then he and Gera begged Schmidt to help them create an opportunity to set the fire in order to get revenge on Viscount Colin.

Seeing that they were so sincere, Schmidt reluctantly agreed......

In this way, Bill became a big help for him to complete his mission, and his other help was the "Brotherhood of Jillian".

He had already contacted the people of the "Brotherhood of Gillian". Because the Duchy of Seon has long been arranged in the city of the Elamite Kingdom, it has given a lot of support and funding to the "Jilian Brotherhood" in various places, just to make their activities cause some trouble to the Elamite Kingdom. That's why Schmidt came up with the idea of working with them. Of course, in order for them to be able to attract the attention of the city guards as they intended, they need to apply some small means themselves.

Schmidt recalled the preparations he had made, and the plan that was slowly being refined took shape in his mind. So he hurriedly said goodbye to the girl and left, and went to intensify the implementation of the plan overnight.

At this moment, he raced against time.

..................

At the same time, Stein quietly approached his Wizard's Tower, and he returned to Dallas City today, quietly finding out what was happening in the city. Then rush to the Wizard's Tower as soon as possible. In his eyes, the city guards' overt and covert surveillance of the Wizard's Tower was as ridiculous as a clown. Mortals could never have imagined the wizards' methods, so he walked straight past a group of soldiers, but they couldn't find the slightest clue.

Stein's pride could no longer be maintained after he arrived at the Wizard's Tower, and he began to become angry. TM: The entire Wizard Tower is now cleaner than a dog licking. Stein cursed under his breath, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood from his agitation.

He had prepared enough resources to carry out his big project, but in the end, he was only left with the last core material, "Spider Silk of the Human-faced Spider".

The human-faced spider is a tricky monster that even the bronze wizard is unwilling to face, and its most troublesome thing is its toxicity, and Stein also happened to find the traces of the human-faced spider and prepared for a long time, and finally configured an antidote to kill the human-faced spider dangerously, and collected enough spider silk.

Unexpectedly, the spider silk was collected, but the resources he had worked so hard to collect were copied. At this moment, Stan goes berserk with hatred, and coughs up blood again.

After calming down several times, Stein made his way to the top of the Wizard's Tower, where he chanted a long and intricate incantation while forging a motley mudra with his only remaining hand.

Soon after, an obscure glow flashed on a watchtower north of the Wizard's Tower. Then there are the watchtowers to the southwest of the Wizard's Tower, then to the northeast, to the northwest, to the southeast, and due south. The watchtowers that Stein had helped build in Dallas began to echo each other, forming a bizarre six-pointed star map from the sky, and a vague magic that the wizards in the Darkmoon Circus couldn't detect began to flow between the towers, and then all converged on the wizard's tower.

Stein let out a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his core arrangement had not been destroyed. He just lacked the mana supply to activate the arrangement.

"Looks like I'm going to have to use Plan 2," Stein sighed secretly, cursing Viscount Colin for stealing his resources, while carving a dense network of runes on the top of the wizard's tower, and carefully connecting them with "Human-faced Spider's Silk". He knew that there were three days left at most, and his injuries would not be able to suppress and take his life. Before that, he must launch this plan to change his life. As for the life and death of his seemingly wanted apprentice, he couldn't care about it.

At this moment, Stein is racing against time.
