Chapter 199 198. Coward
After Antonio and Suldak disappeared in place, they did not leave the corridor immediately. Although they were invisible, the sound of footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat could not be eliminated. They were worried that they would be caught by those vigilant The heavy servants and maids found out, so they squatted quietly in a corner at the end of this corridor, waiting for the crowd in the passage to disperse.
In fact, the daily work of these servants and maids is not easy. They need to be busy from morning to evening before they have a chance to stop and rest for a while. If the tasks of the day are not completed well, they may not be able to eat, so Willing to make extra troubles, this seemingly supernatural thing was just reported to the big housekeeper of the tower, and the group of servants went about their own business.
'Less Invisibility Potion' can gain invisibility in dimly lit places or at night.
This is the second magic potion that Antonio took out, which made Suldak fully feel the magical power of magic. After Suldak drank the bottle of light blue potion, he felt that his vision became extremely blurry for a moment. At the same time, everything in front of him lost its original color and completely turned into black and white, and then saw his body slowly disappear.
It was a very wonderful feeling. He knew that his hands were right in front of his eyes, but there was nothing in front of his eyes. Suldak reached out and touched the wall. The solid touch of the wall was transmitted from his fingertips. What was on the wall? Nothing.
Suldak could clearly perceive Antonio, and the magician was standing beside him. The sound of uniform heartbeat and even breathing was so clear, but he couldn't see the young magician.
Antonio said that this 'secondary invisibility potion' would become visible once exposed to strong light, so he deliberately turned his hand towards the wall lamp in the corridor not far away, but he still couldn't see anything, Suldak tried Walking in a little bit, there were faint footsteps in the empty corridor, and when he got close enough, his arm finally showed the outline of nothingness under the dim wall lamp.
At this moment, when Suldak looked at his arm, he felt like he was looking at an X-ray.
"Do you think it's amazing?"
Antonio's voice came over, maybe it was a hallucination, and Suldak felt that his voice had become hoarse.
Afterwards, the silhouette of Antonio also appeared under the wall lamp. He grabbed Suldac's arm and dragged him out of the corridor lightly. Servants, when they walk, in order to avoid being hit by these servants and maids, they walk with extra care. As long as someone walks over, they will lean against the wall in advance to make way for these servants.
Suldak also saw Mrs. Miranda's personal maid on the way. She walked up from downstairs quickly with a plate of grapes and plums in her hand, and walked into a corridor in a blink of an eye. When Ke tried to peek into the corridor, the maid had already pushed open a door and walked in.
Suldak guessed that the room might be Mrs. Miranda's bedroom. The interior decoration of this high tower is very luxurious. The hall on the first floor is directly connected to the top. The hall is surrounded by a zigzag spiral corridor, leading to the top of the tower.
This tower is the residence of Earl Josie Busman, and Earl Josie lives on the top floor of the tower.
Antonio and Suldak walked along the passage of servants to the top floor. In the corridor here stood at least ten maids with various trays in their hands. A steward and four knights were also guarding the door. From time to time there were some Ladies came and went from this room, which seemed to be Count Josie's living room.
The light over there was bright, and it was difficult for the two of them to sneak in at this time, so they retreated quietly, followed a maid and hid in the storage room.
In addition to some sundries such as handles, rags and water basins, there are also stools, chairs, hangers, tablecloths, etc. in this grocery room. The narrow space is full of sundries, which also provides an excellent space for two people. hiding place.
The magical effect of the 'Level Invisibility Potion' took less than a quarter of an hour, and soon the two of them showed their prototypes.
Not long after, there were more noisy footsteps, and those noisy voices seemed to be searching for something. Not long after, the people in the storage and grocery room were pushed away, and a knightly castle guard walked in wearing a suit of armor. There was a faint musty smell in the grocery room. He covered his nose with one hand, only stayed in the grocery room for a few seconds, then turned and walked out.
If he had casually lifted the tablecloth just now, he might have seen Suldak and Antonio sitting among the piles of tables and chairs.
It's a pity that he thought the smell in the room was too strong, so he didn't check the room carefully. It was just such a small negligence that he missed Suldak and Antonio.
The castle guards brought by the steward searched the tower of Earl Josie, and left soon after.
‘Have you heard that the castle seems to be haunted? Perhaps ghosts...'
‘It’s horrible, it’s never happened before. '
The voice of the maid's conversation came from the door of the grocery room, and it didn't take long for it to become silent.
…
Josie Busman was lying on the bed in the bedroom, as if all his strength had been exhausted the moment the 'burst flame' descended on the magic caravan. At that time, he rushed out of the magic caravan with a long sword, still looking brave and fearless.
Returned to the castle of the Busman family, and it didn't take long to get out of bed. The potionist said that there was nothing wrong with him except that the last assassination had frightened him.
He is a very timid person, and it is precisely because of this that Duke Ryan Busman was so disappointed in him that he gave the family's first heir to his grandson Quentin. For him, even a Marquis None of the titles were conferred on him. After so many years, he is still just an earl.
This big bed is quite luxurious. The four legs of the bed are carved from pure white ivory, and the whole bed is made of high-quality iron wood. It's very comfortable on top.
Count Josie looked sickly, and seeing the darkness outside the window, he said, "Go and enjoy dinner too, and leave me alone!"
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated, without any further movements, as if he had fallen asleep. In this way, Mrs. Reanda and her maid were sent away.
He can't stand up now, looking at these tender and beautiful women will only feel upset.
However, several wives wanted to show how gentle they were when he was sick, so they scrambled to come to his side to serve him, which made him a little angry, but he couldn't say anything.
Count Josie just wants to lie down quietly for a while, maybe forget the ball of fire in his mind, or regain his courage to get better. He looked at the spotless glass window, but there seemed to be some hallucinations in his eyes again. Even in the reflection of the glass window, there was the face of the sneak attack magician full of smirks, and there seemed to be a young man next to that face. knight.
Cold sweat broke out on Earl Josie's forehead. The handle of the alarm bell was next to the bed, but he had no strength at all.
His neck was a little stiff, and he wanted to turn his head away, but he couldn't...
