Chapter 210: Failed Assassination
Hearing the blonde girl's words, the dark-haired girl with a somewhat sad face raised her head and looked at her sister with an anxious expression, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the affection between sisters.
"No, Anna, it's not a rumor."
"I have heard my father discussing with his courtiers that they will expel me in three days, from Bowran, from Taussente, and never let me return here."
"I obviously haven't done anything, I'm obviously a victim, why did you let me bear such a crime and let me leave my hometown."
Saying this, Xia's heart was full of sadness, unlike her sister Anna Henrietta, who had been pampered by everyone since she was a child.
She was born with the curse of the Black Sun, considered an ominous person by many in the court, and suffered from all kinds of strange eyes since she was a child.
Later, even his parents, who used to love him, were influenced by these rumors, and their attitudes gradually changed, and they also regarded her as a disaster.
But is it her fault? Will she be able to decide what day she will be born? Will she be able to decide if she is cursed?
Wayne sat not far from the two young girls, watching the two sisters hug each other and cry to each other, both of them were underage, even if they were of noble birth, they could not control their fate, and could only silently accept their parents' arrangements.
However, knowing that Xia would be expelled in three days was good information, such a beautiful and high-ranking aristocratic girl who had received a high education in the court since she was a child, since Towson didn't need her, then Wayne could reluctantly accept this tool man.
Judging from her future performance, she can grow from an expelled girl to many thieves as subordinates, cause chaos in a country, and turn a high-level vampire around, compared to ordinary people, she is still quite capable.
Maybe there is ambition and desire in her heart, but when she is a girl, when she faces the suppression of absolute power, she will definitely be able to train well.
Thinking so, Wayne rummaged through his spatial bracelet and found a low-level spell scroll.
This is a three-ring spell scroll from the world of Faeron, the role is to mark the target, and then find the other party through the marker, the time is a month, the distance is about a hundred kilometers, it is one of the gifts left in the space bracelet by the legendary mage Tesla, and now it can come in handy.
He hid in the cloak of invisibility, picked up the scroll, pointed it at Sianna, and marked her, intending to wait until three days later, when the duke's daughter had been sent out of the court, and then go to her.
In my memory, it seems that this girl will be subjected to a lot of abuse by several escort knights during the transportation, and when the time comes, she should be able to gain a lot of goodwill, and take the opportunity to control her by the way.
Thinking like this, Wayne turned his head and glanced at the two duke's daughters who were sisterly and hugged each other and told each other about their grievances, sighed in his heart, and left the back garden to go elsewhere to continue looking for the residence of the court mage Artorios.
However, Bowcrane's palace was too big, and after searching for a long time and still not finding it, he happened to see a servant who seemed to be drunk, sitting in a corner in a daze, and simply walked over, and cast the Yaksi seal on him through the cloak of invisibility.
Things were going well, and the drunken state, coupled with the hypnosis of the Axe Fain, soon got a lot of news from the servant, including the residence of the court mage Artorios, and the current residence of the sorceress Frin Gira Wigo, who had come to visit her uncle.
After using hypnosis to eliminate the trouble, he followed the route he had inquired about and walked towards Latonios' residence.
Here, I have to mention the ability of this illusion master, who also belongs to the Weige family.
As a male warlock, he is not very strong in combat power, and his best skills are research, magic knowledge, and making magic items.
He was the magician of the sorceress Fringilla, and is most famous for creating a fairytale world for the young duke's daughter, Anna Henrietta and Sianna.
Relying only on the capacity of a book, it is a miracle to create a magical world the size of a city, in which various magical creatures live, forming a complete ecology.
However, such a magical world requires a lot of materials and time to maintain, and at this time period, this fairy tale world magic book seems to have begun to change due to the lack of maintenance.
But it has to be said that from this point of view alone, the magic of the wizarding world still has its merits.
With the correct address, it didn't take much time for Wayne to find Artorios' residence.
However, he would not rush into the residence of a strange mage, and no one knew what traps these spellcasters who were proficient in spells would set in their residence in order to protect their secrets.
Even if he has the bloodline of the Ancient Blood and can cope with most difficulties, after triggering the trap, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Unfortunately, the legendary mage Tesla has a rich collection of space bracelets, but this mage specializes in offensive spells, and does not have spell scrolls like surveillance or reconnaissance.
There is no way, Wayne can only take the most primitive countermeasure, which is to wait for the rabbit.
According to Rayso's speculation, in addition to the time spent on investigating and reporting the target, the time for the cat school witcher to do it should be these few days.
And Wayne doesn't know whether the assassination of the court mage Artorios was successful in the original history, and there is no mention of such news in the original book.
In this way, Wayne waited outside Artorios's house for a night, scouting several suitable locations for stepping spots, but did not find anything unusual.
While waiting, he saw the court mage, an old man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, with brown hair and beard, and looked very energetic.
I believe that if he can escape this assassination, he should live for a long time.
After a sleepless night, Wayne returned to the Red Moon Hotel after dawn, still disguised as a tobacco merchant, went to some high-end salons and parties, played a few games of GWENT with some rich people, gained GWENT experience, and promoted his tobacco by the way.
During the day, Rayso and his companions did not return from completing their commissions, after all, the real world is different from the game, there is no fast travel, and the combat is not so enjoyable, and it requires a lot of preparation.
Often, such a commission requires multiple inquiries into intelligence, and it is not possible to complete it in a day.
And Wayne plans to go to the Valley of the Nine Kingdoms after dealing with the Cat School Assassin and the matter of Sianna two days later, and go there to find the underwater ruins that have been submerged, where there are clues and methods of the Demon Hunter's secondary mutation, waiting for him to obtain.
This matter is very helpful in improving the strength of all existing demon hunters, and it is a very important thing.
Although in the original game, the protagonist Geralt completed a successful second mutation, but after all, it was the protagonist, and it was twenty years later.
Without seeing the exact information and information, Wayne couldn't be sure if all Demon Hunters could meet the requirements of the secondary mutation.
Perhaps he must be as talented and strong enough as Geralt to complete the transplantation experiment of three mutation inducers in order to meet the conditions.
However, although Wayne had some doubts about this, he was not particularly worried, even if there were some obstacles to the second mutation, there were so many female warlocks who were close to him, as long as he wanted to, he could still find their help and break through those difficulties.
After a busy day, in the evening, Wayne went to the mage's residence again, trying to wait for the figure of the cat school witcher, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.
At this time, Wayne wished that he had drawn the True Eye Guard in the League of Legends world and used that prop to do this boring job for himself.
By the third night, the night before Sianna's expulsion, Wayne's wait finally came to fruition.
However, the result of waiting made him a little disappointed.
Dressed in an invisibility cloak, he hid in a hidden height, and watched as a thin figure in a black nightcoat climbed in from the outer walls of the palace with great dexterity and lightness, and after easily bypassing a group of guards, he ambushed the court mage Artorius on his daily homecoming.
Under the cover of shadows, the cat-like witcher hid his figure so well that he could barely see any flaws.
It's a pity that this fellow still underestimated an experienced warlock, and he didn't have the magic gold in his hand that could weaken the warlock.
Although he moved very quickly, the sword he swung almost stabbed Artorius in the body before he could react.
But in an instant, Atonios's form vanished, leaving only a red amulet filled with magical runes in its place.
For this almost double-like ability, Wayne has seen in the game, wearing a red ribbon, can dodge even the surprise attacks of high-level vampires, and it is clear that Artorios, who is the inventor, is also equipped with such magic items on his body.
The court mage who escaped immediately called out to the guards, and under the protection of the guards, brought various magic items and weapons to capture the assassin who wanted to assassinate him.
However, in less than two or three minutes, by the time the group of them came to the site of the assassination again, everything had already returned to calm.
The black-clad assassin had long since disappeared without a trace.
