It was getting dark, and the street lamps in the city were already being lit by the night watchmen.

The main street is still full of pedestrians, but some of the back streets and alleys are pitch black, and few people go into the secluded alleys at this time, except for those who are familiar with the area.

Surdak's rented carriage crossed a lively long street, crossed an arched stone bridge, and walked a long way along the stone path.

It wasn't until there were fewer and fewer shops around, and there were large mansions all around, that Surdak realized that the carriage had driven into the wealthy part of Evorson City.

The city was really big, the scenery outside the car window was constantly changing, the dim street lamps passed backwards one after another from the outside of the car window, the area was full of high-walled compounds, and the carriage did not stop until it was completely dark, and then stopped beside a wall of roses, and the coachman opened the door for Surdak with a smile on his face, and said to Surdak with a flattering smile: "Lord Knight, you want to get off here?" ”

Surdak looked out twice, and saw with his own eyes that young Beard had walked into a villa without walls, and next to this wealthy area there was a group of villas, which had no courtyard, and were next to the street, and the villas were surrounded by lawns, and there were rows of banana trees planted on both sides of the street, like courtyard walls.

He shook his head and said to the coachman, "No, please go a little further and stop at the street in front of you." ”

"So you want to go to Sherwood Mansion, but it's a great place to spend the night." The coachman immediately said to Surdak in understanding, and squeezed his eyes with a smirk.

At the street in front of us is a well-known mansion, where all kinds of high-end balls are often held, but Surdak is wearing shabby monster leather armor, and he doesn't look like a guest at the ball.

In the Green Imperial Mansion, it is actually a kind of private high-end club for the noble lords, these mansions are usually dedicated to providing various services for the nobles, including banquets, balls, press conferences, etc., and some mansions are for the nobles to provide hotel accommodation services, of course, the cost is also a lot higher than that of ordinary hotels, the group of students from the Bednar Swordsman Academy who came out to practice.

At night, the Sherwood Mansion was shrouded in bright lights all around, almost every room of the mansion was brightly lit, laughter and beautiful melodies came from the hall of the mansion, but fortunately the coachman parked the carriage in a more secluded place, Surdak got out of the car and paid the coachman a silver coin, and the coachman drove away contentedly.

Surdak passed by the door of the mansion, quickly burrowed behind the banana tree on the side of the street, and in the shadow of the banana tree, he touched the side of the villa where Beard lived.

This is a two-story villa with an attic, the living room light on the first floor of the villa is on, and the soft light comes out of the window, and Beard's figure can be vaguely seen walking back and forth in the living room, and then the lights in the room on the second floor of the villa are also lit up not long after.

Surdak approached the villa silently, and easily climbed into the terrace on the second floor along the side wall of the villa, there were some clothes on the drying rack on the terrace, hiding in the shadow of the terrace door, stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the bedroom door, there was a large bed in the center of the bedroom, and the gauze tent hanging from the ceiling covered the entire large bed, and the bed was covered with white silk sheets, clean and tidy.

There was no one in the bedroom, so Surdak picked up a copper candlestick from the table and walked quietly towards the door of the room.

Pushing open the bedroom, the sound of rushing water came from the hallway, and the corridor seemed quiet, with two still life paintings hanging on the snow-white walls on both sides.

Just as Surdak was about to follow the sound of the water, the bathroom door on the second floor of the villa was pushed open.

"Lucy sweetheart, are you here?"

Beard wiped his wet hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom with only a bath towel, his tone revealing a kind of impatient joy.

He walked down the hallway to the downstairs, saw that the living room downstairs was empty, and no one answered, and was about to return upstairs with some confusion.

A candlestick suddenly appeared in front of him, and at the moment of his consternation, it slammed into his forehead, and Beard only felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and a bright red liquid flowed into his eyes, making the field of vision all blood-red, and after a second, he couldn't feel anything when it was dark in front of him.

Surdak walked out of the corner of the stairs, there was a trace of blood on the candlestick in his hand, and the sticky blood flowed to his hand, he squatted down, wiped the blood on his hand with Beard's towel, and carefully wiped the blood on the candlestick, and placed the candlestick on the square table next to him, then turned around and walked to Beard again, squatted down and patted his fat face.

The young aristocratic officer lay on the floor like a white pig with a shaved hair, and the blood from his forehead flowed out of the floor.

Although he was unconscious, but he seemed to be breathing, Surdak unhurriedly cleaned the blood from his forehead, wiped the blood on the floor, and then pried his mouth open, stuffed the bloody towel completely into his mouth, and tied Beard's hands and feet firmly with a cow tendon bowstring, and then dragged him to the attic on the top floor of the villa, and tied it to the pillar of the main beam of the villa.

Surdak breathed a sigh of relief after all this, and then walked slowly downstairs to extinguish the lights in the living room, and lay down on the bed that belonged to Beard and slept contently, until it was almost dawn when he heard a thud in the attic.

Surdak woke up from his dream, went unhurriedly to the washroom and washed his face before climbing the stairs at the end of the corridor to the attic.

When Surdak pushed open the dust cover of the attic, the sound in the attic stopped abruptly, and Beard was tied to the main beam of the attic, looking at Surdak with a frightened face, and when he saw Surdak's face clearly, he was even more frightened and trembling, and kept struggling to get out of trouble, but this kind of cow tendon rope, the more he struggled, the tighter he strangled.

Surdak walked over to Beard and sat down on the dusty floor in front of him.

At this time, Beard's white body was covered with dust, like a gray mouse that everyone shouted and beaten, and he stared at Surdak with a fearful expression.

Surdak smiled faintly and said to him, "I know you're a smart man, and you won't yell even if I pull something out of your mouth, right?" ”

Beard nodded desperately with a frightened face, and at this time snot and tears flowed out together, as embarrassed as he wanted.

Pulling out the bloody towel from his mouth, Beard gasped as if he would suffocate a little later.

Surdak reached out and patted Beard's chubby cheek and asked him, "You know who I am, do you?" ”

Beard nodded his head in horror, and after a few seconds he shook his head desperately as if he remembered something.

"Talking ......"

Surdak said impatiently.

He had never understood why Duke Newman had let this group of young nobles with no experience form a war room in the first place.

"Lord Knight, for the sake of me not doing anything harmful, I beg you to let me go, please!" Beard said with a shudder, a trembling cry in his voice, and he looked terrified to the extreme.

"Oh, I can make my family pay you a ransom, I think I still have some value, just please don't kill me......"
