Chapter 89: The Time Has Come
Opening his eyes, Albert finished his meditation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He'd been in this damn cave for a whole week, and he couldn't even tell if it was day or night.
"You have to find an opportunity as soon as possible. Albert muttered, and got up to leave the cave that belonged to him. The Transfiguration Potion lasted only two weeks, and ten days had passed since he had drunk it.
He was going to go to the daily routine and attend the party of the Crouching Tiger King.
For a week, he had done almost nothing, and had been drinking with the Crouching Tiger King and the group of leaders every day.
Of course, it wasn't for nothing, at least he was now familiar with the Crouching Tiger King and the bosses. As a magician, and the most powerful person except for the Crouching Tiger King, he has earned the respect of all the bosses, and the three-star magician leader even wants to be his student.
The torches on the walls of the cave flickered and dimmed, as if they were breathing.
The narrow passage was lined with dozens of cells carved out, and faint sobs could be heard from time to time.
Albert had looked through the hole, but only once, and he feared that he would not be able to suppress his anger if he looked at it a few more times. Inside each cell are dozens of women or children, women and girls are tools for the robbers' amusement, and boys are future miners. There are no old men, because old robbers are useless, and there are no men, because men are mining gold, or joining the robbers.
"Damn robbers. He looked at the guards by the cell door, but he still smiled at the men against his will.
Every time he walked through this passage, Albert's heart was tormented, but in order to save everyone, he had to endure. He had seen robbers commit violence to women in their cells more than once, but he could only clench his fists and let his nails pierce the flesh to remind himself to stay awake.
As long as a century passed, he left the area where civilians were held.
The field of vision suddenly widened, and there were two more railroad tracks on the ground beneath his feet to carry ore.
On both sides of the tracks, you can see some small rubble, orange in color, emitting a faint glow against the firelight, which is the falling ore debris.
Through the wide tunnel, Albert came to a circular open area with a diameter of 300 meters.
King Crouching Tiger didn't lie to him, this is indeed a rich mine, if it is all mined, I am afraid that it can smelt tens of millions of gold coins. As far as the eye can see, the walls of the mountain are gray orange, and there are six tunnel entrances that lead to the other mines. Thousands of scrawny coolies were chained around their necks and wielded their hoes with great difficulty. Nearly a hundred overseers were armed with leather whips, scolding and whipping the weak and fallen to the ground.
"Hello, Dear Master Brian. ā
Everyone who met Albert greeted him politely, trying to win his favor.
Of course, it was doomed to be futile, and Albert had already pronounced the death sentence of these robbers in his heart, and in the most cruel way possible.
Walking through the mines, Albert finally arrived at the banquet hall of the Crouching Tiger King.
"Brian, you're late. ā
At the head of the long table, the Crouching Tiger King, whose face was flushed and his drunken eyes were hazy, stood up and grinned.
Ten robbers sat on either side of the long table, and in addition to that there was one man. On the left hand side of the Crouching Tiger King, a boy no more than twenty years old was tearing the clothes of the girl in his arms.
The boy had brown hair, dark green eyes, and a sinister smile on his handsome face, which looked very sinister and vicious.
Albert frowned, as if he had seen the teenager somewhere.
"Don't stand in a daze, I'm going to get you drunk today. The Crouching Tiger King beckoned and urged.
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard. Albert smiled diswillingly and sat down in the empty seat on the right hand side of the Crouching Tiger King, "My dear chief, is today a day worth celebrating?"
"That's right, today I'm going to introduce you to a friend. King Crouching Tiger burped, thinking only of the boy across from Albert, "This is our guest of honor." ā
"Hello, Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you. Albert looked at the teenager across from him and said politely.
"Damn bad old man, are you blind, can't you see that I'm busy right now?" the boy glared at Albert, "Don't bother me unless you want to die!" As he cursed, he tore off the blouse of the girl in his arms. Snow-white skin exposed to the air, exuding a fragrance that could not be smelled but could be felt by all, the boy grinned and ravaged the two towering and round peaks.
Looking at the girl's tear-stained cheeks, Albert gritted his teeth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, remembering the identity of the other party.
Padwin Sakura?The boy's name came out of Albert's mind, and although he hadn't deliberately remembered it, it was a disgusting name that was too memorable, the name of his enemy, the mastermind behind Joanna's kidnapping.
"Brian, the young master is not targeting you, he just doesn't like to be disturbed. Seeing Albert's silence, King Crouching Tiger patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm not a three-year-old. Albert shrugged, "What should I call this young master?"
"You have too many questions. The Crouching Tiger King restrained his smile and stared at Albert, "You just need to know that he is my honored guest." ā
Before the scouts returned from Rhine, the Crouching Tiger King could not fully trust Albert, to be exact, he did not trust anyone. He spurns false friendships, and only gold coins do not betray him.
"I'm sorry, my dear chief. Albert nodded respectfully, trying to endure the disgust in his heart.
Although the Crouching Tiger King did not say, he has already received the answer.
Judging from the slightly nervous expression of the Crouching Tiger King, the information he got before was correct, and the Sakura family was the backstage of the Crouching Tiger bandits.
Albert lowered his head, took a sip of beer, looked at Padwin, who was ravaging the girl below, and then looked at the drunken Crouching Tiger King, and a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Today is a good opportunity, and it is not difficult to deal with a drunk. Luckily, Padwin was also there, which saved him a lot of trouble, not only to complete the mission, but also to capture Padwin and force the Sakura family to collude with the Crouching Tiger bandits.
"Master Brian, come have a drink with me. ā
At that moment, Albert's leader raised his glass, trying to give Albert a step.
"Man, stop calling me master, that would embarrass me. Albert retracted his thoughts, smiled at the man in front of him, and took a sip of his glass.
"Here, you are a veritable master. The other robber, dressed in magic robes, said respectfully, "Master Brian, have you thought it through, and I can definitely be a good student." ā
"When I become a gold-level magician, I will take you as a student. Albert casually said perfunctorily.
"Brian, you look a little down. The Crouching Tiger King struggled to hold his eyes wide and stared at Albert, "Are you mad at me?" He didn't want to embarrass the old man in front of him too much, all magicians want to save face, and the Crouching Tiger King knew this very well.
"No, how is that possible. Albert shrugged, "I'm just a little uncomfortable." ā
"I can let you live and see them, which one do you like?" the Crouching Tiger King beckoned, and more than a dozen undressed girls were escorted to the banquet hall by the robbers, "Or let me recommend one for you." ā
"Don't do that, my dear chief, you're making fun of me again. Albert smiled bitterly, "Of course I'd like to do as much as you do, but do you think that thing will still work at my age?" he sighed, "I really want to be twenty years younger." ā
"Your life is really boring," the Crouching Tiger King laughed and picked up his glass and grabbed a young girl, "Come, see who of us will fall today." ā
The robber leaders also struck, took the girl into their arms, and raised their glasses.
Soon, the banquet hall was filled with the wanton laughter of the robbers and the choking of the girls, and the rotten pictures began to play out.
Albert lowered his head, looking at everything that was happening around him, trying to restrain the killing intent in his heart.
I don't know how long it took, but the feast was finally over and the people began to disperse.
Seeing the bandit leaders who were helped out one by one by his subordinates, Albert looked at the Crouching Tiger King who was sleeping on his seat, and his gaze became cold, "It's started." He muttered to himself, a fire burning inside him, burning the alcohol to the ground.
"Master Brian, aren't you going to leave?" asked the Crouching Tiger King's personal guard cautiously.
"Of course, it's you who should go. Albert smiled.
"No, I'm sorry, Master Brian, we can't leave. One of the guards said.
"You misunderstood me. Albert's smile was even worse, "When I say go, I don't mean leave." He glanced at the four, "It's death!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rose to his feet and rushed towards the guards like arrows from the string. He bent his hand into a claw, and the magic power was infused into the dragon's blood ring, and in an instant, the dark red dragon scales were dense, and razor-sharp claws grew out.
"Bang!"
The head of one of the guards was crushed, and blood and brains splattered everywhere.
The other three didn't resist, and Albert was so quick that until now, they were still a little dazed, not knowing what was really going on.
But Albert didn't want to give them time to react, and again, screwed off one of the guards' heads.
At this time, the only two remaining guards finally woke up from their shock.
But the two still didn't resist, but chose to turn around and run away, no one wanted to fight such a strange old man, they even suspected that this seemingly weak guy was a monster.
"Bang!"
"Poof!"
Albert didn't give the other a chance to escape, throwing the head of the guard, knocking one of them down. At the same time, he rushed to the other guard and stabbed him in the chest with a knife, gouging out a still beating heart.
The whole process was done in one go, not even a second.
Holding his heart, Albert approached the stunned guard, picked it up, and shoved it into the guard's mouth.
"Woo! Woo!" the guard spun around, whimpering and struggling to escape the clutches. But in the next second, he found that his head and body were separated.
