Chapter 10: The Ghost in the Viscount's Palace
This avenged cat!
Maier hurriedly followed, and did not even take the centipede that had been wrapped in oilcloth, although this centipede was also a good material, but compared to the skunk fruit, it was nothing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ocelot is fast, and it borrows branches to jump from tree to tree, and the ocelot's body is so small that Mel has a hard time catching the ocelot.
However, Maier will not give up, and he believes that he will definitely be the winner of this chase.
This is not because of Mel's blind confidence, but because Mel has already marked the ocelot, and with this mark, Mel will not lose it, unless the distance between the two is too far.
However, Maier suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
The ocelot seemed to be heading in something wrong, not towards the deeper swamps, nor towards the dense forests that were more advantageous to it, but towards the small town.
Mel was a little surprised.
A normal ocelot will only think that the forest is its home turf, and returning to the town only shows one thing, this ocelot is no stranger to the town, even familiar.
Under what circumstances would an ocelot be familiar with a small town?
Unless the ocelot is in captivity, and it is not an ordinary person who keeps it in captivity, it should be the same magician as himself, because skunk fruit is not on the ocelot's recipe at all.
Meier's brow furrowed slightly.
There will be communication between mages and mages, but it will be in a mutually agreed place, and they will not show their true faces, and the time of communication is extremely short, and they are not even friends with each other.
And what I don't like the most is the rash arrival of other mages.
In the principality shrouded by the temple, the most important thing for a magician to survive is not strength, but to hide, and only by hiding his identity firmly can he not be persecuted by the temple.
If other magicians come to the door, it means that their identities have been exposed, which is equivalent to a handle appearing in the hands of the other party, and it is likely that a battle will break out.
But it would be unrealistic for Maier to give up the three skunk fruits.
There are almost no such materials on the market, and you can only get them by looking for them in the field or trading them at parties, and if you miss it this time, you don't know how long you will have to wait.
And his breakthrough is imminent, and he can't afford to waste time.
Eventually, Mel decided to continue following the ocelot.
If the owner of the other party is a good talker, he will apologize first, then make some amends, and then make a contract never to leak the other party's information.
But if the owner of the other party is a bad talker, then only a battle can decide the ownership of the skunk fruit.
The ocelot entered the town and headed quickly in one direction, seemingly familiar with the town's roads, which strengthened Mayer's previous suspicions.
After a while, the ocelot stopped at a wall, looked around, saw no Meier following him, and jumped up the wall and entered the wall.
Mel's eyes narrowed slightly, if he was not mistaken, and if he was not mistaken, this was the Viscount's Mansion that was said to have the "ghost of Lord Viscount".
Could it be that a magician killed everyone in the Viscount's Mansion to create a ghost incident and drive the new Viscount crazy?
It's very possible, but this magician is also a little too bold, if he makes such a big incident, isn't he afraid that the priest of the temple will catch him and send him to the stake?
However, being able to survive a month's search by the temple and the royal knights is also a powerful guy, maybe even more powerful than the nightingale.
Do you want to go in?
Maier is now very sure that if the other party is a magician, his strength must be stronger than his own, and if a battle breaks out, he will definitely not be able to please him, and maybe he will give his life there.
It's a bit unwise to take such a big risk for the sake of a few skunk fruits.
Mel hesitated, but chose to give up.
After returning to the hotel, Maier made up for his sleep until ten o'clock in the morning, and had not rested well last night, and was not in a good mood, and the whole person looked a little haggard, and walked leisurely on the street.
If there is no accident, I won't be able to get the Skunk Fruit this time, then the time for my promotion to a high-level magician apprentice will be greatly delayed.
This is not good news.
Mel shook his head, drove the bad mood out of his heart, and planned to wander around Maple Town in earnest, and return to Xilin Town tonight to start writing a story.
But at this time, the door of the Viscount's Mansion suddenly opened.
Listening to the comments of the residents next to him, Mel understood what was going on.
A group of foreign mercenaries heard the story of the ghost of the Viscount's Palace, but they were dismissive of the ghost's authenticity, and made a bet with the town's militia captain for this.
The content of the gamble is, of course, to explore the Viscount's Mansion and stay at least one night at the Viscount's Palace.
And the stakes are also very large, a full three hundred gold coins, and I don't know how much the militia captain is greedy for ink on weekdays to be able to come up with such gold coins as a bet.
Perhaps, it is also possible that the militia captain thought that he could not lose.
At this point, Maier did not want to leave for a while.
This group of mercenaries can help themselves to verify whether there is a magician hidden in the Viscount's Mansion, as long as they are sure that there is no very likely magician inside, then they still have hope of obtaining the skunk fruit.
Quietly walking to the side of the fence, Mel rolled over and entered.
"Olivier is such a fool, as a militia captain, he would even believe in such a thing as a ghost, and even if there really was a ghost, it would have been wiped out by the people of the temple long ago. ”
"Brother Caucasus, you are so wise, this time we can easily win a full three hundred gold coins, which is the income that we can only have as mercenaries for many months. ”
"What do you know, it's just three hundred gold coins, I haven't paid attention to it yet, the most important thing this time is that we can legally enter this Viscount Mansion, this is a Viscount Mansion. ”
"Even if it has been searched by the people of the temple and the royal family, there must be some secret rooms or something, and if we can find one of them, let alone three hundred gold coins?"
At this time, a weak voice suddenly sounded.
"Big ...... Big brother, are we really going to stay here for one night?"
A slap on his head was slapped.
"What's not promising, what are you afraid of with me? ”
The mercenaries scattered.
Mel hid in a corner, observing the group of mercenaries and looking for signs of the ocelot.
Towards evening, suddenly, a mercenary fainted inexplicably.
