198. Coward
After Antonio and Surdak disappeared in place, they did not leave this corridor immediately, although they were invisible, but the sound of footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat when walking could not be eliminated, and they were afraid that when they walked, they would be discovered by those vigilant servants and maids, so they squatted quietly in a corner at the end of this corridor, waiting for the crowd in the passage to disperse.
In fact, these servants and maids do not want to be as easy as they imagined every day, they need to be busy from morning to evening, before they have the opportunity to stop and rest for a while, if the task of the day is not completed well, it is likely that they will not be able to eat, so they are not willing to make extraneous branches, this seemingly extremely supernatural thing is only reported to the chief steward of the tower, and the group of servants are busy with their own work.
Secondary Invisibility Potions can be used to gain invisibility in dimly lit areas or at night.
This was the second magic potion that Antonio took out, which made Surdak fully feel the magical power of magic, and after Surdak drank the light blue potion, he only felt that his vision became extremely blurred for a moment, and at the same time, everything in front of him lost its original color, completely turned black and white, and Surdak saw his body slowly disappear.
It was a wonderful feeling, knowing that his hands were in front of him, but there was nothing in front of him, Surdak reached out and touched the wall, the solid touch of the wall, transmitted from the tips of his fingers, there was nothing on the wall.
Surdak could clearly perceive Antonio, the magician standing beside him, the sound of a uniform heartbeat and even breathing was so clear, but he could not see the young magician.
Antonio had said that this secondary invisibility potion would manifest once exposed to bright light, so he deliberately turned his hand to the wall lamp in the corridor not far away, still unable to see anything, Surdak tried to walk a little, the faint sound of footsteps sounded in the empty hallway, and when he got close enough, his arm finally showed a void outline under the dim wall lamp.
At this moment, when Surdak looked at his arm, he had the feeling that he was looking at an X-ray.
"Isn't that amazing?"
Antonio's voice came, and I don't know if it was a hallucination, Surdak felt that his voice had become hoarse.
Then, Antonio's silhouette also appeared under the wall lamp, and he grabbed Surdak's arm and dragged him out of the corridor lightly, Surdak was worried that the conversation between the two would once again attract the busy servants in the tower, and when they walked, in order to avoid being bumped into by these servants and maids, they also walked more carefully, as long as someone came by, they would lean against the wall in advance to make way for these servants.
Halfway through, Surdak also saw Lady Miranda's personal maid, who had a plate of grapes and plums in her hand, and walked briskly downstairs, and in a moment entered a corridor, and by the time Surdak tried to peep into the corridor, the maid had pushed open a door and entered.
Surdak speculated that the room might have been Mrs. Miranda's bedroom, and the interior of the tower was lavishly decorated, with a hall on the ground floor leading directly to the top, surrounded by a hollow-shaped spiral corridor leading to the top.
This tower is Josie. The residence of Count Bussman, where Count Josie lived on the top floor of the tower.
Antonio and Surdak walked down the servants' passage to the very top, where there stood at least ten handmaidens with various trays in their hands, a butler and four knights also stood guard at the door, and from time to time a number of ladies came and went in and out of this room, which looked to be the living room of Count Josie.
It was brightly lit, and it was difficult for the two of them to blend in at this time, so they quietly retreated and hid in the storage and grocery room after a maid.
In addition to some miscellaneous goods such as silicon, rags, and basins, there are also stools, chairs, hangers, tablecloths, etc., and the narrow space is full of miscellaneous items, which also provides an excellent hiding place for the two of them.
The magical effect of the secondary invisibility potion took less than two quarters of an hour, and soon the two of them were manifesting their prototypes.
There were often footsteps outside the grocery room, and the two of them didn't dare to talk.
Not long after, there were more noisy footsteps, listening to those noisy sounds as if they were searching for something, and not long after, the storage and general rooms were pushed away, and a knightly castle guard walked in wearing a suit of armor, there was a faint musty smell in the general room, he covered his nose with one hand, just stayed in the general room for a few seconds, and then turned and walked out.
If he had casually lifted the tablecloth on the side, he might have seen Surdak and Antonio sitting in the pile of tables and chairs.
Unfortunately, he didn't inspect the room carefully because he thought the smell was too strong, and it was just such a small oversight that Surdak and Antonio were leaked.
The castle guard, who had been recruited by the butler, searched the Count Josie's tower, and left not long after.
Ever heard that the castle seems to be haunted? Perhaps a ghost......
It's horrible, it's never happened before.
The sound of the maid's conversation came from the door of the grocery room, and it was not long before it was silent.
……
Josey. Bussman lay on the bed in his bedroom, as if all his strength had been used up the moment the flames burst into the magic caravan. He rushed out of the magic caravan with a long sword, still looking heroic and fearless.
Returning to the castle of the Bussman family, it didn't take long for him to get out of bed. The potions master said that there was nothing wrong with his body, but that he was frightened by the last assassination.
He was a very timid man, and it was for this reason that Duke Ryan Bussman was so disappointed in him that he gave his grandson Quentin the first in line to the line, and did not even give him the title of Marquis. After all these years, he's just an earl.
This large bed is quite luxurious, the four legs are carved from white ivory, the whole bed is made of fine ironwood, and the bed board is covered with thick gold velvet thread woven cushions, which is particularly comfortable to lie on.
Count Josie looked sickly, looked out the window and was getting darker, and said, "Go and have dinner too, and leave me alone!" ”
After speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and there was no more movement, as if he was asleep. Thus he dismissed Lady Leanda and her maid-in-waiting who had been guarding her.
He can't stand up now, and he only feels upset when he looks at these women with tender skin and beautiful skin.
However, several ladies wanted to take advantage of his illness to show how gentle they were, so they rushed to his side to serve him, which made him a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
Count Josie just wanted to lie quietly for a while, maybe forget the fireball in his mind, or regain his courage to get better. He looked at the spotlessly clean glass window, but there seemed to be some hallucinations in his eyes, and even in the reflection of the glass window, there was the face of the sneak attack magician full of smirk, and there seemed to be a young knight next to that face.
Cold sweat broke out on Earl Josie's forehead at once, and the pull of the alarm bell was next to the bed, but he didn't have the strength at all.
His neck was a little stiff, and he tried to turn his head away, but he couldn't......
