"Oh, dear Hukoradi, you are such a useless piece of waste. ”
This is the second-floor private room of Madame Fuchron's Bar, and unlike the old hugs, Claude Edmont seems to have lost his interest in the flirtatiousness, just drinking a glass of wine over a table of sumptuous dishes, babbling on and on: "You said there was a 'more effective' way to deal with that wizard, and you almost got rid of my sister! Also, why are there vampires there?! Damn, don't tell me that's what you do." ”
His words were full of complaints, and a pair of reddish drunken eyes kept looking at the Schulcoradis, who was standing still at the table, and there was no impatience on the face of the handsome young man—even if he had been listening to these complaints for a day.
Although he was tired of hearing it, he still had to explain that the vampire had nothing to do with him, trying to get Claude to accept that what happened in the theater was just an accidental coincidence.
Sicoradi knew that if he said it a few more times, this mediocre boy would agree with the fact that he had never been a shrewd fellow.
And Vika didn't die because of this disaster after all, although she was uneasy, but Claude didn't have the idea to get to the bottom of it.
As far as Schukoladi is concerned, all this young master can do now is scratch it.
It wouldn't be long before he would relapse into his old ways, and Shokoradi knew that well.
"Alright, bastard Siucoradi, you say it's a coincidence, hell it's a coincidence, if Vika is finished, I'll be out of luck. Claude frowned, letting go of the vampire's doubts, and had more other thoughts: "What about the family business?"
"Oh, Ogan is working it all out. Hucoradi bowed his head humbly, but a line flashed in his eyes: "But young master, with all due respect, you are the eldest son of Edmont, and now that Miss is unconscious, you should ......"
"What should I do?" Claude shrugged, lifted the bottle and poured a glass of wine, "You're trying to get me, a guy who doesn't know anything, to ruin the family business, oh, that's a great idea." ”
Shokoradi frowned, it was obvious that this kind of fool with a little bit of understanding in his heart was much more difficult to deal with than a pure idiot with a mess in his head, but in order for him and his contractor to get Edmund's authority more easily, he had to endure the surname and entangle with this guy: "But it is said that Oggen and the wizard are very close, and the word is spread outside......"
"Huh?" Claude raised his brow as he drank a glass of wine, annoyance rising from his brow to his forehead.
Siucoladi didn't say anything more, he knew that it was enough to provoke Claude's suspicions in his heart, and if he talked too much, it would arouse the vigilance of this guy, and it would undoubtedly be worth the loss.
"Hell yes. Claude rang for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and an irritability made him curse again, and after pouring out a burst of foul language, he waved his hand at Sicoladi: "Go! Get a clean one." ”
Hukoradi bowed respectfully, turned and opened the door and walked out.
Madame Purple is a tavern famous on the coast of the dragon, and it is also the most famous peach-colored place in Ximen, which provides a lot of fresh materials through the light and dark population flow of the coast, as long as you have money, you can find any type of female humanoid creature in this place, no matter what kind of taste, you can find it in this place.
Young Master Claude's taste is only average among the rich boys in Ximen City, and his appearance can be seen to be so-so, and the important thing is that he must be clean - very good, he is a guy with a virgin plot, although it is not easy to find such goods in the middle of Faerun, but in Lady Zihong, there are still a lot.
The one that appeared in front of him now was not bad.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has delicate skin with a little black, and there are good waves in the front and back, although his appearance is ordinary, but if the lights are blown out, it doesn't matter.
He gouged out his ears with his little finger, picked up the little girl with one hand, and pulled it with the other hand, and half of the white robe fell off, and he just wanted to blow out the light, but suddenly he was stunned, because when the afterglow of his eyes swept over the girl's waist, he saw something that should not exist...... Before he could react, the 'girl' knocked on his neck with one hand, and he snorted, rolled his eyes, and fainted to the ground.
"She" put on a set of clothes, opened the window, and looked out the window alertly, in the alleyway, several people sneakily nested there, and saw 'her' poke her head out, and made a gesture, this person carried Claude's body, and threw it down from the second floor, and the people below who had been prepared together caught the unconscious boy, took a sack, loaded it and carried it on their backs, and soon several people disappeared into the shadows of the alleyway.
And the 'girl' on the second floor has long since disappeared.
...... Crash...... As if permeated by a cold all over his body, Claude opened his wet eyebrows with a trembling spirit, and immediately fell into a huge panic.
He lay naked in a stinking hut, surrounded by five shirtless strong men, their bodies as fierce as giant bears, and some scars on their bodies—this undoubtedly deterred the fragile mind of the childe, and he rolled and crawled into the corner of the wall, and looked at the guys who were sitting in a circle around him: "You guys...... Who are you, and what are you doing with me?"
His eyes rolled quickly, knowing that he was likely to encounter the legendary kidnapping, maybe because of luck, or because of some other reason, he had not encountered such an incident a few times since he was a child, and it had been quite a long time since he was last kidnapped and blackmailed.
What's more, the alcohol he drank not long ago has not been digested, and his spirit is even more difficult to calm down, looking at the smiling expressions on the faces of these big men, his eyelids jumped, and he trembled and roared loudly: "I warn you, I am the son of Edmont, one of the seven largest nobles in Ximen City, you better let me go back, otherwise I will die!"
The roar was full of hysteria and bravado, as if this sudden incident had caused Childe to have a nervous breakdown, and he shrank in the corner shivering, but his body did not get the slightest warmth - just behind him, a gust of wind was coming into the house through the cracks in the poorly sealed wooden wall.
"Edmond?" the brawny men looked at each other and let out a laugh.
"Guys, this boy is scaring us with the name Edmont of the Black Sea Gang. One man seemed to think this was a funny thing, and laughed so hard that he almost cramped, and the other guys listened to this sentence and looked at Claude's eyes full of jokes: "Boy, this is not your house." ”
"You...... You guys. Seeing that the name could not scare these guys, Claude was even more panicked, and trembled even more, and a big man grabbed him by the neck and grabbed him like a chicken, Claude screamed in horror, and danced in mid-air, but his thin hands and feet obviously couldn't even touch the big man's face, let alone break free.
The poor creature struggled for a moment, and suddenly rolled his eyes, and a stench came from below, and several big men were stunned for a moment, and then laughed even more boldly.
"What a wreck, how could Lady Vika have such a brother. The young man emerged from the shadows, frowned, poured the cup in his hand, and spilled the liquid onto the floor.
"Morey, the boss and which master shouldn't be here for a while......" The big man who grabbed Claude glanced at the poor worm who had collapsed, stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth: "Can you let the brothers play with this wretch." ”
"Hmm, didn't the money sent to you go to the woman?" Morey frowned.
"This ...... You misunderstood......" Dahan's expression was a little embarrassed: "It's just that the brothers' muscles and bones haven't been stretched for a long time, and now their hands are a little itchy." ”
"This boy is the brother of Lady Vica, although he may have made a serious mistake......" Morey hesitated, "but if we play him badly like this, the adults may be unhappy." ”
"Don't worry, Morey......" A lewd smile appeared on the faces of several strong men: "We will pay attention to proportion." ”
"This ......" Morey pondered for a moment, then put his eyes on Childe's face, smelled the disgusting smell of feces and urine in his nose, squeezed a pimple tightly from his eyebrows, and finally nodded slightly, looking away.
A strong man smirked and poured a bucket of cold water on Claude, and soon, even more shrill screams drifted from the inside of the house to the hall outside.
"Oh, that's a lot of noise. The two men guarding the door were still yawning boredly, but when they heard this string of tones, they suddenly perked up.
"It's not as pleasant as the girl's voice the day before yesterday. The other narrowed his eyes.
Another series of screams floated out of the room.
When Penny saw Claude, the boy's eyes were white, and his whole body was an abnormal red color, which seemed to have no external injuries on the surface, but it gave Penny a feeling that something was wrong.
He looked at the big men in the room with a sinister face, and realized that they must have done something to this young master.
But he wasn't angry about it—he didn't have any affection for this Claude, and for whatever reason, the dumb boy had tried to murder him, and even more so Vika had almost died, and he deserved to die for that alone. What's even worse is that even if this person did such a thing, the wizard who took into account Vika's feelings couldn't kill him all at once.
Such goods should be beaten a few times.
But he was still a little dissatisfied, for it was clear that he did not know what kind of methods the fellows had used to torture the poor child, and Claude had hollow eyes, drooling at the corners of his mouth, and looked like he had a nervous breakdown, which made Penny's plan run through the cracks.
If he wants to know the details of this matter, then he must take out some information from the mouth of this boy, and he can easily do this with some mind control spells, but this kind of spell will more or less cause a certain image to the mind of the recipient, if Claude's mind is clear, he is sure that the possible negative impact will be reduced to a very low level, but if such a person is on the verge of mental collapse and his mind is a little confused, the consequences can be quite unpredictable...... This can't help but bother Penny.
"Yes...... It's you!" As soon as the wizard walked into the room, the warriors of the Black Tiger Gang stopped blackmailing Claude, which made the boy take a breath and regain some of his senses—although he was still surrounded by fear and confusion, he regained the ability to think, and his frightened eyes saw the wizard's appearance clearly, and immediately howled like madness: "How dare you do this to me? You wait, Vika won't let you go." ”
"If she knew what you did, I'm sure she'll understand what I'm doing. The wizard's face darkened: "If she hadn't been alive, you would have been a dead man now, and you would have to be glad for that." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Claude's heart beat rapidly at the wizard's words, and his eyes flickered in denial: "She was injured because of your involvement, what does it have to do with me?!!
"Boy, that's not a good tone. A strong man smiled and patted Claude on the shoulder, and Brother Gongzi immediately shrank into the corner like an electric shock, and roared in a broken voice: "It's all because of you, because of you, it has nothing to do with me at all!"
"Don't be hard-mouthed. The wizard stretched out his hand slightly, "If you didn't know what happened in advance, then how could you know that the assassin was assassinated by me and not Vika?"
Claude was stunned for a moment, then howled even more and danced as he howled, "What does this have to do with me? I don't know, I don't know at all! How could Vika be assassinated? You must have been involved in her." ”
He roared wildly, firmly denying the wizard's doubts, and although he was tortured, he didn't want Vika to know about it.
"Tell the origin of your accomplices and vampires. The wizard continued to ask, "You'll be fine." ”
"Hell, I don't know. A fiery impulse caused Claude to get up from the ground with a roar and pounce on the wizard, who was soon pinned to the ground by several thick arms.
"It's a pity. Penny sighed and looked at the men with a pleading gaze: "You guys...... Is there a way to get what I want to know out of his mouth?"
"Absolutely. The strong men blurted out in unison, and the smiles on their faces became even more wicked and obscene.
The wizard nodded, turned to leave the room, and stopped as he walked to the door, looking back and frowning at Claude, who was pressed firmly, "By the way, don't leave an incurable wound, that's not bad just now." ”
"Yes, sir, you wait. A strong man laughed, stepped on the boy who was screaming and struggling, and discussed with a few men: "Come back with some new tricks, go and bring the paste bucket with sticky boards." ”
He stopped at the door and saw a big man carrying a bucket of paste into the room, and the two men held Claude down, and the strong man used a brush to apply the paste to the sparse calf of the boy's brother, and the other big man immediately glued strips of coarse cloth to Claude's legs...... The wizard shuddered, quickened his pace away from the room, and soon the sound of a strip of cloth cracking reached his ears far away, and was soon drowned out by even more shrill screams.
Under this kind of torture, even the martyrs of the harpist probably could not keep their mouths shut, let alone a delicate boy who was not a martyr in every way, so soon the wizard knew the answer he wanted.
"Shokoradi?" the slender fingers tapped on the solid wood tabletop, even this desk, there was a portrait of an Anel-style beauty on it, but after knowing this guy for quite some time, Penny was already surprised: "Edmont's butler...... Grandson?"
"Yes, heh, a good-looking man. Arnell sat on the other side of the desk, "Oh, by the way, he was in that theater before you had the accident the night before, and he left before the incident, but a little later than the waste left." ”
"So he's a vampire he's recruited......" Panny cupped his chin and combed through the information he already had, "So, Claude really doesn't know anything about it?"
"To hell with it, kid, it started because he was going to kill you. Arnell shrugged: "No matter how you say it, you can't let him go easily." ”
The wizard groaned hesitantly for a while, and shook his head: "Let's lock him up here for now, and when Vika wakes up, it's better to let her deal with it herself." ”
Although he wanted to use some sorcery to manipulate Claude's head, he finally gave up on this tempting idea, at least he couldn't face Vika casually after doing such a thing.
"That's a bit cheap, sir. Needless to say, Arnell, even Nephis, who was sorting out the papers at the table, began to express her displeasure: "My lord, we can kill him secretly and make sure that Miss Vika can't catch any tricks." ”
"Put away such thoughts. The wizard rubbed her little head and crumpled the soft hair into a mess, and Nephies pursed her lips and rearranged the blindfolded hair, turning her eyes twice, sensing the irrefutable nature of the wizard's words, and finally gave up on persuasion.
"My lord, it's okay not to kill him, but it's still too cheap for him to let him go like this. At this time, the big gang leader of Dibinow, who was standing on the side, expressed his opinion: "It's better to let my brothers train this kid, and ensure that he will never dare to have the idea of going against you in the future." ”
This proposal undoubtedly coincided with some of the thoughts in the wizard's mind, and although he couldn't kill this guy, he couldn't let him keep making trouble in the future: "There won't be any problems left." ”
"Don't worry, sir. The leader of the Dibino gang replied respectfully: "My brother is very good at this kind of thing. ”
"That's good. The wizard nodded.
"Uh...... Kid, tell me how to deal with this guy named Shokoradi. When one thing came to an end, Arnell opened up another topic: "This guy ...... It looks like the water is deep. ”
The wizard's eyes flashed with thoughts, and he was thinking of a plan to arrest this guy, when the gang who was guarding the temple of Tyre and watching the wind for the wizard interrupted the wizard's thoughts with a message.
After more than a day in a coma, Edmont's hostess finally woke up from her slumber.
