Chapter 64: Buried in the Fire
As soon as the sky was white, a rapid sound of horses' hooves echoed in this smoky forest, and a man in black with a skull mask on his face rode a black horse towards the depths of the forest, and at the moment when he was about to leave the forest, a silver-white arrow flew out of nowhere.
The man in black couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he saw this, obviously he didn't expect that there was an ambush here before he had time to dodge, the sharp arrow brought out a kind of powerful power that pierced his head in an instant, and the man in black let out a scream completely different from that of a human and then disappeared like smoke without a trace,
The horse was also suddenly frightened, let out a neigh, raised its front hooves high, and then galloped forward like crazy, and the next moment it was tripped over a stumbling rope set at some unknown time, and with a neigh, it fell into the trap that had been dug in front of it, and immediately stirred up a cloud of dust, and then returned to its former calm, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, in the Entias mansion, Sean was sitting on the sofa in the hall feeding the cat, at this time, he saw Rodrigo walking in from outside and put down the cat and looked at the other party when he was about to ask, the other party took the first step and said: "The young master guessed right, sure enough, someone is ambushed in that forest." ”
Sean was still very cold behind him, and he didn't show any other expression, he just sent someone to explore the way today, and the forest was the mansion that the wizard Harland used to imprison the students who disappeared a month ago,
The other party must have guessed early in the morning that they would go to the mansion to save people today, so they sent someone to ambush there in advance, but he was not completely sure, how could he easily risk his life for a group of people who had nothing to do with him, sacrificing himself for others was an extremely stupid move in the eyes of a selfish person like him.
The corners of Sean's lips quietly curved up into a cold smile, and then he slowly got up from the sofa, looked at Rodrigo calmly and said, "Let's go, we always have to complete the task." ”,
Then he walked out of the mansion first, still blowing the cold wind that was still blowing his knee-high black trench coat.
A smile quietly appeared on Rodrigo's face, and he responded, "Understood." Then he walked out.
A moon-white carriage drove on the wide, sparsely populated streets, so I don't know when it will rain suddenly, there is generally nothing normal people will not go out easily, so the carriage is also much faster than usual, almost all the way unimpeded to the distance galloping,
Sean listened to the wind in his ears and fell into his own thoughts, looking at the sapphire on the thumb of his left hand, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and the carriage soon drove into a deserted path, which was getting more and more remote,
Although the more calm it seems on the surface at this moment, in fact, the more turbulent the dark tide is in secret, and at this time, the sky is suddenly covered with dark clouds, making the sky suddenly become gloomy, and large white snowflakes are falling from the sky, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier until finally it is already goose feather snow, at this time, dozens of black shadows slowly emerge in the thick snow fog, and the speed of the several black shadows is extremely fast, as if it is a ghost in the snow fog.
Sean's gaze moved away from the sapphire ring on his left hand, a chill crossed his blue eyes as dazzling as sapphires, and a sneer that bordered on his originally handsome but extremely indifferent face showed a sneer that bordered on mockery.
This wizard was completely different from the puppeteer he had seen in the puppet show before, but Harland was obviously much more cautious, and the dozens of black shadows had completely emerged from the snow and mist, and soon they had caught up with their carriage.
At this time, the head of a man in black wearing a mask had just appeared outside the window of the carriage, and his eyes were dazzled by a white light, and before the man in black could react, his head had been cut off by the long sword in Sean's hand, and the mask suddenly fell off his face and flew out, revealing a face crawling with silver-white insects.
The whole face is already crawling with insects except for a pair of wide open eyes, and the insects are still writhing, looking extremely disgusting, these bugs that I don't know what their names are used by Baynton wizards to control these black-clothed people "control the line",
Let these people who originally belonged to humans become puppets they use to hunt down and kill their enemies,
If these men in black do not succeed in completing the task assigned by their master, they will be eaten alive by these insects and die, although the methods of these wizards are cruel, but they are very useful, these men in black can only choose to obey their masters in order to live, the fifteen men in black wearing black robes and white ghost masks in silver, these fifteen men in black who hunt them down are the puppets next to the wizard Harond.
However, at this time, there was a sudden burst of terrible screams from behind, and then everything around them instantly calmed down, and the dozen or so black-clothed people who were originally chasing them turned into ashes in just a few minutes, Sean couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but wonder who helped them get rid of the black-clothed people who were chasing them?
At this time, a burst of feathers was blown into the carriage by a gust of cold wind, and it happened to fall on his hand, looking at the black feathers that slightly emitted black gas in his hands, he only felt very familiar, this was obviously the black feathers on Irene's wings. Could it be that Erin showed up to help them get rid of the man in black who was chasing them? It's just that Sean is strange how the other party would know that someone is chasing them? Could it be that Erin just happened to pass by and helped them, although he thought so in his heart, but he felt that the other party would definitely not just stop by to save them.
When Sean was thinking about this, a familiar voice sounded in his ears and said, "Sean, where are you going?" He came back to his senses suddenly, turned his head sharply and saw that Erin had been sitting beside him for some time, looking at the sweet smile on the other party's beautiful face, he was almost dumbfounded for a while, and was stunned for a few seconds before hesitating to ask, "When did you appear here?" ”
Erin looked at him and replied, "It's been here just now, and you haven't noticed it." The expression looked extremely natural, obviously a very normal thing, and I didn't understand why the other party's reaction was so big.
By this time, the carriage had entered the foggy forest, and the deeper it went, the fog became thicker, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead, but the carriage was still moving forward at an unhurried pace.
In fact, driving a carriage through this dense foggy forest is very difficult for ordinary people who are not familiar with this passage to get out of this forest safely, but Rodrigo and Erin have no effect.
Erin looked at the misty forest and suddenly understood, looked at Sean and asked, "Are you going to the mansion that the wizard Harand used to imprison those students?" After seeing the other party nodding, he didn't continue to ask, but thought in his heart: Even if he goes now, it seems that it is too late, as far as Harander is concerned, if he does not succeed in getting rid of Sean, he will naturally not let him complete the task smoothly.
Drove out of this forest very smoothly, four hundred meters ahead is a long staircase, the carriage has no way to go up so the three of them can only walk up, the snow has stopped at this time, the cold wind is still raging endlessly, this day is obviously colder than usual, the steps are covered with a thick layer of snow,
Sean looked at the steps in front of him, there were more than 20 steps, just raised his right hand and stepped on the first step, and suddenly felt that Rodrigo was hanging in the air and hugged him high without saying a word, he was not prepared for a while, and his arm subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and before he reacted, he heard the other party look at him and said with a smile: "Young master, it's too slow." ”
Erin couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw this, she was originally going to take Sean up but was preempted by the other party, only to blame her for not being his personal guard, and then thought that it shouldn't be a big deal to have an extra personal guard by the other party's side, right? Rodrigo didn't put Sean down until he reached the final third step.
It's just that the three of them were all stunned after they just came to the mansion, Sean couldn't help but be stunned even more thoroughly, his breathing almost stagnated for a while, and he looked at the mansion in front of him that imprisoned more than a dozen students had been burned to ruins by a fire at some point.
Harander didn't know what his purpose was, and he burned the missing students to ashes along with the mansion, perhaps because he was afraid that the students would be rescued and say things that were unfavorable to him, or because he simply didn't want him to succeed in rescuing the students.
Sean turned his head to look at Rodrigo, who was also shocked, and said, "Sure enough, as I thought, Harland didn't succeed in getting rid of me, and he must have guessed that we would come here to rescue those students, so he preemptively burned those students alive." There was no slightest ripple in his tone, and his blue eyes were extremely indifferent.
Hearing this, Rodrigo looked at him dumbfounded for a while and didn't know what to say, but the other party had already looked away and continued to look at the ruined mansion that had been burned by a fire, and Sean's eyes narrowed slightly.
In fact, if it weren't for the completion of the mission, Sean wouldn't have had to care about the lives of these people, no, to be more precise, if it wasn't for the needs of the mission, he wouldn't have cared if the missing students were going to be burned to death or whatever.
After all, he Sean Antias is a ruthless selfish ghost, a person who can mercilessly get rid of those who stand in his way in order to survive, and kill those people one by one with his own hands in front of his eyes, he is such a despicable, selfish person, isn't most of the human beings in this world like this?
The cold wind blew the black trench coat on his body, and Sean looked at the ruins in front of him, but the expression on his face was extremely calm and even tingling with a kind of indifference like solid ice, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Let's go." ”
