It was one o'clock in the morning.

Peter, Harry, and Frey sat in the snow around the coals that had been rekindled and rekindled.

"Have you contacted your Earl now?"

Peter took a sip of his tea and asked Frey.

The old man's gray but meticulously combed silver hair was stained with snow, and he shook his head gloomily.

"The Count should now rest in the town of Mage, but she has a habit of rising early, and will leave tomorrow morning at seven o'clock at the latest."

The town of Mager is the closest town to the city of Acneids, located between Acnez and Phi. On his hike from the Giant's Forest, Peter also passed through the town of Mager, where he spent the night resting in the farmer's town, which was populated by thousands.

The coachman had been sent out by Frey to send a telegram warning him to the telegraph office in the town of Mager, but Frey was not hopeful, the telegraph office usually did not go to work until nine o'clock, and by the time the telegram was received, the Count had already gone away.

Although there are telephones powered by magic energy in this world, there are very few lines of communication across cities, and such lines are usually used for military purposes, and the fastest way to communicate across cities is the telegraph.

Peter was extremely suspicious that these things were also inventions of the villagers, because they were obviously magical, but the name had "electricity" in them.

By the way, I'll help my friend ask.

With the telephone and telegraph, when was the electric grail invented?

Of course, in addition to these technological methods, there are also magical methods.

However, spells that communicate with each other over long distances often require both players to have the same item and are expensive to cast.

Naturally, the Earl also had this kind of communication magic item, but he didn't prepare it for Frey.

After all, he just went back to his hometown to build a house, who would have thought that there would be risks?

"So you can't contact him right now?"

“...... There is little hope. Frey sighed.

"Harry, do you know any high-level sound magic? For example, the world channel small horn and the like, roar cpdd earl run. ”

Harry asked proudly, "Are you doubting my loyalty to defensive magic?" ”

"When I didn't ask."

Peter lifted his forehead, "In other words, now we can only save it?" ”

"If Albert is determined to kill the Earl, the means of communication and government officials in the city will not be reliable...... Maybe the mayor can, but he just reported in the royal capital, damn it, Albert is all right! ”

Frey's expression became more and more solemn.

Ron's nobles had fiefdoms, but no de facto dominion. The mayor appointed by the king is the head of each city. Twenty years after the Earl left, the only person in the city who could help him and restrain the Marquis of Wyndham was the Mayor. However, the mayors of all cities have to report to the king at the end of the year, and in the absence of the mayor, the Marquis of Wyndham, as the lord of the inner city, can cover the sky with one hand.

"Mr. Harry, Mr. Peter, if the worst happens...... I can only ask you."

Frey stood up, bowed deeply to the two, and pleaded:

"You two can mention any conditions, as long as you can save the Count back to the city...... I can speak for her, and promise you. ”

Truth be told, Frey didn't want to pin his hopes of saving people on two people he had just met.

But he believed Harry.

He believed in the students taught by the school that had changed the world with magic.

Harry and Peter looked at each other.

"We want to know, why did the Marquis do it to the Count?"

When Frey heard this, there was confusion in his eyes.

The Wyndham and Cavendish families have never feuded for hundreds of years, and even had several marriages upwards, and the current Marquis of Wyndham and the Earl of Cavendish can be related to distant relatives, and Frey doesn't know what kind of madness he has.

"This ...... Maybe we'll have to wait for a later investigation. ”

Frey said, "Don't worry, as long as Lord Earl returns home, no matter what Albert wants to do, it will not succeed." Wait until His Majesty knows about it, Albert...... He couldn't escape death. ”

"Really?"

Peter wondered if your earl could be bigger than the marquis?

"The status of Lord Earl in His Majesty's heart is far more important than this marquis who eats, drinks and waits for death." Frey smiled confidently, "Whatever you want, just mention it." As long as the earl can be saved, money, power, or estate? It is okay to give you a villa in Houhai Hill. ”

"Since you say so." Peter raised an eyebrow, he knew that Frey would be upset if he didn't say anything, "I hope to get the introduction and help of your earl in the Philippine royal family." ”

Frey was stunned, he didn't expect Harry to mention this.

"Of course you can ....., but I don't know which one of the Philippe royals you want to know?"

"It's not. I was looking for something in the Philippian capital and might need the help of the royal family. ”

Frey immediately nodded, this is simple!

"Don't worry, my earl still has this little face, and you will be treated as a foreign guest in the Philippian king, I assure you."

Harry thought for a moment, "Then I'm going to be in the Earl's collection... Choose any 10. Of course, I'll only take materials related to magic. ”

"This...."Frey hesitated for less than a second, "no problem. ”

"Well, without further ado," Peter said as he drained his tea, "it's time to discuss the plan of action." ”

He asked Frey:

"Do you have bodyguards with your earl?"

"Absolutely. There are five guards whose strength is equivalent to that of a platinum-level adventurer, and there is also a master sent by the Eastern Imperial Family, whose strength I don't know very well...... But it is estimated that it will not be weaker than the guard. ”

"What about the others?"

"Twelve maids, nannies, and handymen together."

"Good, it's noble." Peter exclaimed.

In other words, at least six platinum-level guards......

Harry pondered for a moment.

"If you want to solve this lineup, you need at least two...... No, he didn't dare to keep his mouth alive, at least three high-ranking powerhouses, and he had to cooperate with magic. ”

"They have wizards." Peter calculated, "It's okay, we've got Galen." ”

"So that means the two of us are two or three?"

Harry didn't feel safe.

"Strictly speaking, we just need to fight two or three until Galen gets the wizard done."

"But in that case," Harry shook his head, "we can't stop one person from holding you back, and the other two going to kill the Count." ”

"Galen is?" Frey, who was listening from the sidelines, asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's the evil spirit who stole your wine, and he was rebelled by us."

Harry had already told Frey about Galen, and when he mentioned it, he understood, and immediately stood up: "Is the knight resting in the painting?" I'm going to cut out the eyes of the painting. ”

He said he would do it, and immediately ran towards the manor.

"OK, just to be on the safe side, we'll have to find at least one more person... Find one that can fight. ”

After Peter finished speaking, he looked at Harry, "Do you know a good brother?" ”

"Where am I looking for help in Aknez... Wait a minute. ”

Harry's eyes lit up, remembering three days ago.

"You say, saving the Earl, is it a righteous act?"

"Uh...... Should it be counted? ”

So Harry stood up, pulled out his wand, and pointed it to the sky—

A large shadow in the shape of a bat, set off by the glow of magic, was imprinted on the clouds.
