Chapter 18: Voodoo Puppets

It was already night in Dallas, and in the study of Viscount Colin in the city lord's mansion, the magic crystal lamp glowed softly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Viscount Colin, dressed in civilian clothes, was quietly flipping through the ledger. This ledger records the statistics of all the gains from the raid of the Wizard's Tower, and the casual smile on Viscount Colin's lips reveals that he is still satisfied with this harvest.

Although both Edward and Knight John advised him to wait until Stein's henchman was eliminated to regain the wealth of the Wizard's Tower, and they also made a plan for John and the City Lord's Mansion to attack the Wizard Tower when Stein Wizard returned, Viscount Colin still insisted on raiding the Wizard's Tower first to obtain the wealth inside.

Viscount Colin insisted because he was so sure of the information provided by his Magic Mirror, and he knew that Stein was no longer worried.

Thinking of the Magic Mirror, the corners of Viscount Colin's mouth twitched slightly, he really loved and hated this Magic Mirror, he had paid for the Magic Mirror to introduce himself, and the Magic Mirror claimed to be the Historical Magic Mirror "Hestery". The "Hesterry" Magic Mirror records the history of Dallas City from three days ago to 30,000 years ago, as long as it happened during this period, you can find it on the Magic Mirror, of course, each piece of information must provide the corresponding magic stone.

It is because of the frequent use of the magic mirror that the magic stone in Viscount Colin will never be enough, and he has quietly used his authority to use the strategic reserves on the front line half a year ago. Legendary Marshal Vaughn may have been aware of this when he took charge of Silverwing Fortress, and once wrote a stern warning to him. Now he urgently needs to fill this hole, which is why he can't wait to raid the Wizard's Tower.

Fortunately, everything is in his plan now, except for a little wave.

"Who!" suddenly came a loud shout from outside the study, followed by a rapid sound of breaking the air.

Viscount Colin paused, and he could hear that it was the voice of his father-in-law, Grand Knight Cromwell. The strongest hole card that can alarm Collinburg, I don't know what's going on outside.

The Grand Knight Cromwell was seriously injured that year, and it was Viscount Collin, who was the second son of the baron at the time, who happened to save him. Even more coincidentally, Cromwell's daughter fell in love with Viscount Colin. After that, it was logical that the Grand Knight Cromwell supported Viscount Colin to seize the baron's inheritance, honor his military exploits, and make him a viscount. Of course, there are not so many coincidences in this world, everything is the result of Viscount Colin's careful calculation after obtaining information through the magic mirror.

The voices outside quieted down, and then footsteps came from the door, and Cromwell knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.

Viscount Colin hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Father-in-law, what's going on outside?"

"Nothing, a false alarm. I heard movement near your study, but I didn't expect it to be a cat, maybe it was a maid. Cromwell was nearly sixty years old, but he didn't look old at all, and his voice was still sonorous.

"Hmph, these are getting more and more unruly, and when we're done with big things, we'll clean them up properly, and it's time to clean up a batch of fresh blood. Viscount Colin said angrily. In fact, two of these maids were very pleasing to him, but unfortunately he knew that the more he protected them in Fort Collins, perhaps they would die more miserably. Because Viscount Colin relies on the support of his father-in-law to take the throne, his wife is also very strong in ordinary times, fortunately, Viscount Colin's skills in coaxing women have long been perfected, and there is a magic mirror to monitor the dynamics of his wife, so they can get along well all these years.

Sometimes Viscount Colin felt that even if he had the Magic Mirror, he would not be able to fully control his own destiny. He really envied his father-in-law, and the Stein Wizards, these people who wielded great power, even though their titles were much lower than his. It's a pity that his talent is not good, not only does he not have wizard talent, but he has not even broken through at the knight level. Fortunately, he also has a good son, Edward Colin, who has an excellent talent for witchcraft. He decided to wait until Edward broke through to the official wizard, and then passed on his hole card, the magic mirror, to Edward, so that he could go further on the path of wizarding, after all, he was the hope of bringing glory to the Colin family.

Viscount Colin was talking to his father-in-law, Grand Knight Cromwell, in the shadow of a rockery two or three courtyards from the study in Fort Collins. Catherine and Andy quietly rendezvous.

The reason why they are here is because now the City Guard is searching for Andy everywhere in the city of Dallas. Andy, who thinks he is familiar with the Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies, certainly knows that "the most dangerous place is the safest place". So he decided to go to the enemy's base camp to take refuge from the limelight.

Relying on expert-level concealment, Andy's initial plan to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion went smoothly. But soon, it and Catherine were dumbfounded. The City Lord's Mansion is really big, and they don't know the road at all, and they don't dare to recklessly break in, if they happen to break in front of any knight, he won't be throwing himself into the net. So, while Viscount Colin was enjoying a sumptuous dinner, under this rockery, Andy and Catherine were tired and hungry and relatively speechless.

As a relative brain among the two people, Andy came up with another idea, that is, "cute cat pathfinding tactics". Catherine finally agreed, although her intention was to go to the kitchen first and steal some food.

The encounter with the Grand Knight Cromwell had scared Catherine half to death, so as soon as she saw Andy, she rushed up and pounced on him and grabbed and bitten. Andy whispered comfort for a while before she calmed down, and gently wrote with her paws in the palm of Andy's hand, telling Andy everything she had experienced.

It's their new way of communicating, one that doesn't have to be magical, and it's silent.

The prestige of the Grand Knight Cromwell, there is nothing in Dallas City that is not unaware. Andy confirmed his location and silently marked the courtyard he was in, he wouldn't approach it if it wasn't necessary.

Andy didn't think about what to do next, when he suddenly noticed someone walking towards the back of the rockery. Andy was shocked, and hurriedly hid in the shadows with Catherine in his arms, and uneasily made up a concealment technique for himself.

Louis has been proud lately, because he is a relative of Viscountess Colin's mother's family, and he finally succeeded him as the steward of the city lord's mansion after the previous steward of Colinburg retired. Don't look at him as just a housekeeper, but the nobles of Dallas City have to be polite when they see him, after all, the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, not to mention that the great knight Cromwell is still his uncle.

A few days ago, he fell in love with a little maid, but no matter how much he hinted at that chick, he was grinding and chirping, he simply stopped playing with emotion, and played with strength. After some coercion and temptation, he finally succeeded, and after some training and hard soaking, he finally agreed to come out with him to play some excitement.

The place he chose today was a bit weird and cold, but it couldn't stop his fiery enthusiasm. After ten minutes were over, the little maid ran away in shame, and Louis remained where he was, shaking his head and humming a little tune.

"Bang!" Andy interrupted Louis's aftertaste with an elbow blow. Louis rolled his eyes and fainted without even snorting.

"Whoa" Andy spat viciously at Louis, having already condemned him with three deadly sins in his heart. The first sin is to arch the cabbage, the second is to abuse a single dog, and the third is to hum a song to whip the corpse after abusing the dog, so his sin is unforgivable. Andy kicked the guy twice more hard under Catherine's strange gaze, and when he showed signs of waking up, he gave another elbow.

Catherine didn't see what was going on when they came over just now, it was Andy who kept covering her eyes tightly even if she was bitten. She just heard some strange noises, and now she was puzzled by Andy's knocking out the pot-bellied middle-aged man. Didn't you say that you should not alarm anyone's infiltration?

Andy's stunned Louis was of course not all because of envy, jealousy and hatred, and when he heard the conversation between this guy and the little maid, he mentioned that this guy was the butler of the City Lord's Mansion, so Andy temporarily remembered a good idea.

Andy slowly pulls out a puppet from his pocket, the "voodoo puppet" he got from killing Compson

Under Catherine's astonished gaze, Andy recited an obscure incantation, and at the end of the spell, a faint light shot from the voodoo golem into Louis's brain, and the voodoo golem turned into a cloud of flying ashes.

The operation was complete, and Louis was still lying on the ground motionless. Under Catherine's suspicious gaze, Andy smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, I knocked it too hard just now, and I'm still dizzy. I'm going to wake him up......"

Massaging the chest and lungs again, and pinching the middle of the person, finally woke Louis awake. Louis was dazed for a moment, then his eyes finally focused, he looked at Andy fixedly, and then exclaimed, "Master!"

"Very well, now you can give a brief introduction to the specific situation of Fort Collins. Andy said unhurriedly.
