193. Night of the Castle 3
A young magician jumped down from the lintel beam at the gate of the tower, threw away the bronze candlestick in his hand, and kicked Joshua in the face with his foot, and crouched down in surprise as his eyes kept rolling upward, and stretched out his fingers under Joshua's nostrils to see if he was still breathing.
"I'm not going to kill him, am I?"
The young magician stared at Joshua and said with some confusion.
He had very bright eyes, and his stature was a little thin, but his mind was quick, and he looked like a young boy.
He crouched down beside Joshua and untied the bow tie from his neckline, trying to keep his breath open, checking the swollen lump on his forehead, which didn't taste good from being smashed by a brass candlestick.
Surdak stretched out his hand and touched his wound, and said, "Don't worry, Antonio, his head is very hard, he has only fainted temporarily, and he will fully recover in a while." ”
The young magician Antonio glanced at Surdak and said suspiciously, "I think I should at least bandage him." ”
Surdak closed the wooden door of the tower to prevent the guards patrolling outside from discovering the situation, and when he closed the door, he did not forget to look at the sides of the alley, there were no guards from the Bussman family passing by, it was only a lookout tower on the perimeter of the castle, but due to the layout of the castle, it was independent of the city walls, so there were basically no guards stationed here, and there were no patrolling guards.
The tower is very tall, but it is divided into two floors, except for the ground floor, which is connected to the top floor by a spiral staircase, which looks more like an eagle's nest from a distance.
He turned and pointed to Lady Miranda and her maid standing in the corner, and asked the young magician, "Whatever you want, but what are they going to do?" ”
On the first floor, there is a row of storage cabinets against the wall, where some military supplies will be placed during the war, but Bussman Castle has not experienced war in recent centuries, so the entire cabinet is completely empty, and the huge chests on both sides of the wall are empty.
Lady Miranda, dressed in a simple nightdress, stood by the wall and looked at Surdak and Antonio with wary eyes, she pursed her lips slightly, her pale blue eyes had an indescribable stubbornness, and when she heard the two mention her name, she raised her head and looked coldly at the young magician.
The young magician Antonio thought for a moment and said:
"I don't think they should talk about it everywhere, otherwise their secret date with Joshua (cannon) will be made public, and if this kind of thing is said, Lady Miranda will probably be kicked out of Bussman Castle by Duke Ryan, of course, no one wants this kind of thing to happen."
Standing in front of Madame Miranda, the young countess who was probably in her early twenties, Surdak had Josie in mind. Bussman has an old face, and he didn't expect to marry such a young wife, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Miranda secretly carried Josie behind her back. Bussman, secretly meeting the young faces in the castle.
"What is it necessary to release us, I have done everything you have told me......" asked the maid standing beside Lady Miranda in a soft voice.
"I think at least tomorrow morning, when you can take a break on the top of the tower, which should have a blanket for the cold, a little worn, but I think you should be able to use it." The magician pointed his finger upwards and pointed to the tower above his head.
For these two men, who did not have any coveting of their bodies, Madame Miranda could only follow the young magician Antonio's words, carrying a light nightgown along the narrow spiral staircase, leaning against the mottled white-gray walls, slowly climbing up step by step, and the personal maid obediently followed her.
Mrs. Miranda suddenly thought at this time, maybe when she reached the top of the tower, she could release some distress messages to the outside, after all, this is the castle of the Bussman family, maybe there is a brave knight loyal to the Bussman family lying in the next room of the tower, as long as the knight of the Bussman family can be lured over, he should be able to get out of trouble.
But the young magician Antonio was at the bottom of the tower, looking up at Lady Miranda, who was climbing to the top of the tower, and said to her:
"Oh, by the way, please don't try to call for help, I don't think you want anyone to come here, the first thing you see is a young officer lying on the ground, dating a lover or something, never think that this person can help you get away with it, we'll take him away before dawn, and then you'll be free......"
Lady Miranda rolled her eyes at the young magician, eager to grab the white ash from the wall and throw it in the young magician's face, but unfortunately it was dark in the tower, and Antonio, who was standing under the tower, could not see Lady Miranda's small movements......
……
Speaking of the process of Surdak's acquaintance with the magician, it goes back to this morning.
Just before dawn, Surdak tied Beard to the attic of the villa, and made sure that the white pig could not break free from the tendon rope and would not die from being unable to breathe or thirst, so he hurriedly sorted out the traces of the battle and walked out of the villa when it was dark.
Originally, Surdak wanted to find a tavern and inquire about the castle of the Bussman family. Pubs in the city don't open until at least mid-afternoon, so it's too early to find a tavern and have some breakfast.
But he didn't want to stay in Beard's villa forever, he wanted to leave the villa before it was dark.
But he didn't expect that just after he closed the door of the villa, just as he was about to turn away, a young magician in a magic robe stood under the banana tree, staring at him curiously with big clear eyes.
That familiar face and clear eyes made him suddenly think that this magician had attacked Josie the day before yesterday. Count Bussman, who had slipped into the city yesterday in Kit, a magical leather merchant, had snuck into the city. Surdak didn't expect that the third time he would see this magician would be at the door of Beard's villa. I didn't expect that this young magician would have been following behind him, if he hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, I'm afraid he wouldn't know until now, someone was following him unconsciously.
He looked at the young magician with some astonishment, thinking that his revenge plan had been revealed, and wondered whether to pounce on him and kill him with the most drastic means.
But...... The young magician did not have any hostility in his eyes, but took the initiative to spread his hand to Surdak and said:
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to sabotage your plans, I was worried that you would report me, so I have been secretly following you, but it seems ...... You're also a storyteller, and I think you're going to use me. ”
"Of course, my help is not gratuitous, and we may be able to work together to some extent, so we need to sit down and talk about ......"
