Section 9 Human skin powder
"Slave traders, involved in more than a dozen cases of disappearances of female apprentices, lustful as life, murderous, and famous as a gentleman in Ferendor...... Such a person really doesn't have any psychological burden to kill. Lance silently recalled the information in his mind. This guy named Buckett is the eldest son of the patriarch of a wizard family in Ferendor, and this family runs the second largest chamber of commerce in Ferendor, the Gold Nugget Chamber of Commerce, and his power is extremely amazing, so it is not easy for a potion master like Regis to bring down Bakett.
Regis prepared very good information, but even with such sufficient and complete information, Lance insisted on investigating himself for two days and confirming that Bakett's situation was indeed consistent with the information given by Regis before he was ready to take action.
At this moment, he was lurking outside a brightly lit manor. This is the inner ring of Ferendor, some distance from the Wizard's Emporium.
The fact that such a large complex can be occupied in the inner ring of Ferendor not only shows the wealth of the owner of the manor, but also proves its great power. After all, the inner ring area is not a wizard mall after all, there is no manpower from the three major wizard organizations to maintain order, this is a semi-orderly area, even if there is a battle, as long as you don't make too much noise, there will rarely be anyone else to intervene.
In other words, since it can gain a foothold in this area, this manor must be very well guarded.
In fact, it is. Lance hid in the distant woods, glanced at the heavily guarded gate, and couldn't help frowning.
According to Regis's intelligence, Barkett lives on this estate on weekdays. The estate is so large that it should be easy to sneak into. But after some inquiry. Lance found that every nook and cranny of the manor was filled with spell traps and arcane traps. Once someone breaks in. There is only one dead end.
The only thing that could safely enter the manor was the heavily guarded gate.
"No wonder two years ago. The killers that Reggist had quietly brought in from the Blue Mountains had failed. Lance thought quietly. Bakett's manor is full of spell factor detection traps, and once a spell is used, an alarm sounds. Although the guards in the manor are not spellcasters, they are all forbidden warriors who have been specially trained to fight spellcasters. Their bodies have a terrifying resistance to magic, and they have a natural advantage against low-level spellcasters, and they only accept the control and orders of Buckett alone. Under such conditions, it is really difficult to kill Bakett.
However, there is always a way.
Lance took a half-step back. He changed his clothes in a hidden place, and then walked quickly out of the bushes.
......
"Stop!" the guard, who was nearly two meters tall, shouted, "Show me your identity!"
"Two gentlemen, I am a correspondent of the Rambo union, and I have an urgent letter to send to Mr. Bakett. Under the brim of the green hat, a frightened face was revealed, and he looked very young.
The two guards looked at each other and let their guard down slightly.
One of them said in a deep voice, "Aren't the letters of the Rambo union usually sent by ravens?
The young man hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Mr. Bakett is a registered senior member of our union, his letters. It is usually sent in an albatross. ”
The guard snorted, and the confusion in his eyes dissipated a lot. He said, "In that case, what is going on today?"
The young man smiled a little distressedly: "Recently, our union has changed two new albatross breeders, and those two guys are parallel goods at all. Under their care, all the albatross had diarrhea and couldn't even fly a few feet. Not to mention the delivery of letters. I have delivered this urgent letter to Mr. Bakett myself, and I have to deliver it to other guests. ”
The guard Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "You Rambo Guild is really funny. But lately your union has been in the limelight. The last time the puppet city was live-streamed, it made your union famous in Ferendor. ”
The young man smiled shyly: "Where...... famous. I guess it's the hooded man. ”
The guard nodded: "Yes, that guy is famous." Since it's an urgent letter, let's get in quickly. But still check that it's routine. ”
"I understand. The young man nodded nervously. He greeted another guard and placed the letter on a nearby wooden platform.
Several guards didn't care about this action.
Under the command of the guards, the young man stood in front of a magic detector, a faint red light sweeping through his body, and there was no response.
"There are no weapons, and there is no space storage equipment. Safe. The guard looked at the device's reaction and said quickly.
"Let's get in. ”
The young man nodded gratefully, picked up the letter and walked inside.
......
"It's always easy to ignore the most conspicuous things. ”
In the darkness of the night, the young man smiled softly, and he walked briskly forward, tearing open the envelope in his hand as he went. A fuchsia ring suddenly fell out.
Lance grabbed the Arcane Ring, looked at its contents, and sped away from the depths of the manor.
There are many buildings on the estate, but the most conspicuous is the main house, which, according to Regis, is where Barkett frequents most often.
Each gate of the main house has guard handles, and it is not easy to enter.
There were a lot of carriages parked in the manor tonight, and Lance could see many coachmen chatting with each other as he walked along.
"It's a party......" Lance glanced at the figure in the transparent glass of the main room, and rushed forward, turning into the shadows.
His destination was the kitchen.
There is no doubt that Bakett himself must have been at the party. And the people who are invited should also be some high-level apprentices or second-level wizards. After all, although Bhakt himself has great power, his mana is average, and he has never been able to improve after relying on resources and drugs to pile up a high-level apprentice. And if you want to blend in with the party, it's either the guests. If you have an invitation, you can only be a staff member.
Lance's movements were silent. He observed for a while, and soon found the places where the waiters frequented.
He walked in the shadows. Quietly leaning against the wall, he walked to the kitchen.
Just as he passed by a small warehouse, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
"Huh?" Lance held his breath and pressed his ear to the wall of the warehouse.
However, he heard a low wheezing sound.
"Hurry up, you dead ghost, let the master find out that we can't eat and go around!"
"Shut up!
"Good...... Shut up...... Please, hurry, ah......"
The woman's moans rang out.
Lance had a strange look on his face, and he quickly took a sideways step and found the entrance to the small warehouse. He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside.
......
Three minutes later. In the small warehouse, a man and a woman lay unconscious.
"The waiter and the maid cheating? No, this woman, I have seen it on Regis's information, seems to be Bakett's concubine......" Lance looked at the posture of the two with some amusement, he glanced at the dining car on the side, this waiter was also in a hurry, and he refused to let go of this time.
But all this happened to be cheaper than Lance.
After he knocked the two unconscious. Then he stripped the waiter of his clothes and quickly put them on himself. Then he solemnly took out a small paper bag from the Arcane Ring.
He opened the paper bag and sprinkled the yellowish powder evenly on the waiter's face.
After thirty seconds, the powder air-dries into a thin film. Lance carefully peeled off the film and pressed it against his face.
His appearance immediately became exactly the same as that of the waiter.
"The master of potions is the master of medicine, and this kind of human skin powder is simply a disguise artifact. Next time I should ask for a few more packs. Lance touched his face to make sure the transfiguration had fully worked. Only then did he push the dining cart on the side and walked out of the small warehouse quickly.
The moment he pushed open the warehouse door, he tossed the Arcane Ring into a cloudy cocktail.
Successfully passed the guards' inspection. Lance pushes the food cart and finally blends into the party.
Who knew that the moment Lu Dao entered, the scene in front of him made Lance stunned for a full three seconds!
The whole hall was full of disheveled men and women!
Women make up the majority, most of the men, all of whom are high-level apprentices, and there are also a few second-level wizards. The women, on the other hand, were weaker and were mostly primary apprentices.
They are dressed in extremely seductive and revealing clothes, surrounding the men in twos and threes, or coquettish or coquettish, and some are even in public......
Looking at this extremely stimulating scene, Lance's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
"Well, it's an open party...... Although I am not quite what I imagined. Lance pushed the food cart and walked through the crowd without changing his face.
Every now and then, a naked man grabs a glass of wine or a piece of food from his food truck. Some red-faced women pounced on him and grabbed him at the vital point.
Fortunately, Lance was very skilled, and it took him a long time to dodge. He pushed the cart aside and took a closer look at the situation around him.
"What about Bakett, as the owner of the manor, you have to show up at this kind of party, right?" Lance looked around quietly.
At this time, a drunken man suddenly walked over, unceremoniously pushed Lance away, snatched the cocktail containing the Arcane Ring, and raised his head to drink it.
Lance's heart jumped, and he hurriedly grabbed the man and whispered, "Sir, wait!"
"What?!" the man glared at Lance, "You won't let me drink this wine?"
"No, no!" Lance looked horrified, "sir, this wine is so strong that you don't seem fit to drink it now...... Maybe it's good to change the cup with a low intensity. ”
"Get out of here!" the man roared, "If you bother me again, I'll kill you!"
With that, he punched Lance in the chest, and Lance gritted his teeth and didn't dare to dodge. The punch hit the chest, but fortunately, the drunkard's strength was not large, and it only made Lance take a few steps back.
The people around immediately looked at him a little strangely.
The man said triumphantly, "A waiter dares to stop me from drinking." you!"
With that, he raised his glass and took a sip, a full third of it.
Lance's eyes were fixed on the glass, his mind racing. (To be continued......)
