Chapter 168 Playing a Bad Role Playing

When the chariots and horses were taking a nap in the shelter at noon, Kane also noticed a detail:

The four foreign wizards recommended by Charlotte Byron went to unoccupied places to solve their internal emergencies, and it took a long time. When they came back, their spirits and spirits were obviously restored, their eyes were faintly red, and there was a faint smell of sulfur on their bodies. .

He took the opportunity to tell Dumbledore and others about his discovery: "These people are likely to be demon slavers, beware of their mind-confusing spells."

Dumbledore sighed a little. He knew Charlotte's roots, so he naturally knew that most of the people she pulled into the team under the guise of guards were also members of the Secret Key Society.

What he lamented was Kane's insight and rich experience. He could accurately deduce important information based on just a few small details. He has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has rarely seen such a person.

The car was on the road again. The afternoon is the hottest time of the day, but when the wind blows, that's another story.

Due to the problem of horse selection and control, the four guards were in trouble in the afternoon, which later annoyed Fran.

Fran was already in a bad mood. Meeting such amateur guards, with Baron Wellingborough and his party beside him, was embarrassing to his grandma's house. He simply asked his coachman to help solve the problem.

It's a shame that he doesn't have as much horse riding experience as a coachman. This is not a knight, even a rider is not qualified.

The four of them were embarrassed, and Charlotte was also embarrassed. He had to apologize to Fran several times.

Frank still had a basic demeanor, and in turn comforted Charlotte: "It's not your fault, maybe your relatives exaggerated their words when chatting."

Privately, Fran felt that the four of them were unrealistic in what they were doing, trying to protect their face. I am afraid that their professional ability is not good enough, so he needs to be more vigilant.

Due to the delay of the guards, it was dark for a while before the convoy reached Spalding.

It is a small town, a natural posting station, with an inn, because of its proximity to the main road.

In fact, in this era, when nobles live outside the city, they always choose the local noble family. Even if the owner is not there, they can still stay overnight.

After all, there are only a few people in the noble circle, and socializing is the main daily work of the nobles, and almost everyone knows each other. One is that the hotel is not clean, and the other is that they are not popular in the circle, which is very embarrassing.

Fran, who is a technical nerd, is actually okay, but he hates that when he greets people, the other party always says, "Oh, so it's the Marquess of Scarborough."

That's right, it is the prototype location of "Scarborough Fair" sung by the well-known Sarah Brightman in the original world.

Ordinary people may not think that the main theme of this song was born in the former Scottish land, describing the trade between the savage Celts and the equally savage Vikings in people's impressions, the seaside market Scarborough.

But the truth in this world is that wizards are local lords who act as arbitrators of fair trade. Due to the loneliness and danger of ancient maritime navigation, they may never be seen again once they go there. sad melody.

Arriving in Scarborough was already tomorrow, and because Fran, the arrogant technical nerd factory owner, refused to bother the local nobles, the group could only spend the night in the hotel.

The country hotels of this era are not as good as those of later generations. They are inferior in all aspects, but their business philosophy is not backward and diversified. The first floor is a tavern.

Fran felt guilty for the poor hotel environment, and personally used a cleaning spell to clean the rooms one by one to express his apology.

This behavior won Laura's secret approval, thinking that Fran was a gentleman, unlike someone else.

Well, yes, so-and-so is not considerate, gentle, and polite enough, but so-and-so rarely can't even make good arrangements for lodging, and when things come to an end, they have to deworm on the spot.

Even after cleaning, there are still old stains on the sheets and quilts that cannot be completely removed.

Kane secretly cursed that the shop owner at this time was really honest,

You say you are not clean, so you just use plaid or striped cloth to cover up your ugliness, but you use a white sheet. Is this a disgusting person?

Fortunately, he even prepared a tent in his luggage, just in case the car broke down on the way, and he had a sleeping bag.

In fact, staying overnight in this kind of country hotel is really not much different from sleeping in a tent. After all, there is no heating in this era, and not every room has a fireplace. The room is cold and damp, and it also smells musty.

Laura is not as hypocritical as Kane, and she has stayed in even worse environments. What makes her a little embarrassed is that she has to share a room with Dumbledore. After all, they are sisters in name, and there are not enough vacant rooms here. Let a group of people live in a single room...

There is no doubt that no one will feel comfortable in this night, and it is completely a night of coping.

Of course, if it is more difficult, Lincoln and Kennedy are the most miserable. One patrols the stables and the other patrols the aisles of the guest room. They will not stop overnight, and puppets have no human rights.

But even so, something happened at night.

A drunken man staggered up the stairs, holding the house key in his hand. When he passed Kennedy, his feet were weak, his body staggered, and he reached out to support Kennedy.

Here is a detail, that is, in the face of this situation, Kennedy did not subconsciously entrust this person with a backhand like ordinary people.

The next moment, the tenant had a magic wand hanging from his sleeve, pointed at Kennedy, and whispered, "Avada Kedavra!"

This trick has obviously been used more than once, and it is very slippery. The hand that was holding the door key on Kennedy's body has been changed to hold his clothes, apparently to prevent him from falling suddenly after death and making a big noise. , even, he is left-handed and holds the key in his right hand, in order to let the target relax his vigilance.

It's a pity that this time, all of this is like dancing a pole dance for a blind man, showing off for nothing.

The man obviously didn't realize that Kennedy was a living dead man, with no soul at all. By the time he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late, and he saw a fist as big as a rice bowl hit his face, and then he fell unconscious.

Almost at the same moment, another person rushed up from the stairs. Seeing that his companion had been knocked unconscious, he immediately cast a death curse on Kennedy.

Undoubtedly, this was a wrong choice, and Kennedy raised his arm and shot a sleeve arrow as he rushed over.

The Hidden Arrow and the Killing Curse hit each other almost at the same time, and Kennedy continued to charge without any hindrance, his heavy footsteps hitting the wooden floor with a sound like a war drum.

The wizard who was hit by the arrow staggered, and then activated the apparition. He found that the sleeve arrow not only broke his iron armor curse, but also inhibited the casting of spells.

But it was too late to remove it at this time, and he successfully completed the apparition.

At that moment, his body turned into countless twisted lines, shrinking and disappearing towards a core point.

Under such circumstances, Kennedy inserted his big hand into nothingness, pulled the wizard out of the transition state, and slammed it heavily on the floor, knocking him unconscious.

When this series of events happened in the hallway, something happened in Fran's room. A wizard used apparition and appeared directly in the room.

But as soon as he appeared, he fell into the trap, like an insect falling into a spider web, and was firmly stuck by the invisible magic silk web, unable to move.

"Bones to pieces!" There was a wizard floating outside the window. Seeing his companion fall into a trap, he used the Shattering Curse on the glass window, trying to break in and rescue him.

However, there is a mirror spell cast on the window, which can reflect magic. The wizard himself was hit, although it wasn't fatal, it was extremely uncomfortable, and he spat blood on the spot. This man was of good quality, endured the pain, and escaped with Apparition.

Everyone was awakened by the movement made by Kennedy. Maria came out of Kane's room and saluted Franc with a gloomy face: "My lord said that these people will be tied up in the stables and suffer a little bit, and they will be tried again when they arrive at the manor. Rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

People thought it was feasible, and they all went back to their rooms to go to bed. When they entered the room, Fran glanced at the white marks of saliva hanging from the corner of one of the guards' lips, and didn't say much.

This is the so-called eve watch, the room is next to Fran's room, and it is said that there is an abnormality that can be heard, but the journey during the day is too hard, and I fell asleep sitting on a chair by the door...

Early the next morning, the local sheriff arrived, seemingly respectful, but actually somewhat tough, hoping to take over the three attackers.

At this time, Kane's title of Baron Wellingborough came in handy, especially accompanied by a fake lawyer Richard who was not particularly knowledgeable but had no difficulty in fooling people in small places of this era.

I don't know the value of power if I don't know anything. This incident made Fran feel that it was a wise choice to invite Wellingborough to go with him. At the same time, he is also a little more eager for the position of marquis that is about to be acquired.

The three wizards who sneaked in were frozen in the stable for half a night. It seemed that they were no longer able to do so, and they might die at any time.

Kane nodded slightly at Maria.

Maria quickly took out the medical equipment from the leather bag she was carrying, and went over to give the three people an injection, without disinfection or anything, and just finished the injection one by one.

Although the Italian Canettier proposed the principle of the syringe as early as the 15th century, it was not until 1853, that is, the first half of this year, that the Frenchman Pravas invented the plunger hypodermic syringe, which was made of silver and had a capacity of Only one milliliter.

This is what Maria is using now.

Kane explained to Fran and the others: "This is a plant essence extracted by Native American wizards. It can strengthen the divine body and increase the vitality of organs. It is a longevity medicine. But for wizards, it will extract supernatural elements and is used to deprive the body of magic. The potion of qualifications, I was unrestrained in my early years and ruined my body, this medicine was originally for my own use..."

Fran and Dumbledore were horrified and moved.

Is there any crueler punishment than completely depriving a wizard of his ability to cast spells? Anyway, Dumbledore would rather go to Azkaban and go to prison than accept this longevity method.

Franxin said: "What John said really makes sense. Although Auston is not a wizard, his methods of dealing with wizards are not weak at all."

The cobwebs and mirror reflections that were specially designed to pit apparition and other space spells in his room last night were the means of Yuna Percival, which also made Franco take a look.

Kane and his party were all reliable, and looking at the guards Charlotte had found, Fran said inwardly, "I'm really afraid of comparing everything..."

Fran brought subjective emotions, and the angle of seeing people changed.

In his eyes, the four guards did not pretend to be strong today, so they found a carriage from the small town of Spaulding.

However, during the specific operation, something happened again, which made him suspicious.

They actually exchanged four horses for two half-new two-horse horse-drawn carriages.

He thought to himself: Is this low IQ? Or is it too generous?

War horses are very expensive, not only must they have good pedigree and be carefully bred, but they must also have the qualities of not being surprised when encountering guns, and they must be trained strictly.

In addition, injuries, bone wear and other conditions have to be considered, and the usable time is often only a few years. And these four horses are in their prime.

It can be said that the salary of ordinary people in Britain in this era cannot even afford the daily expenses of such a war horse!

Looking at another set of data, this time he hired guards for a week including the front and back, and he provided meals and lodging at a salary of 20 pounds per person. (Approximately equivalent to the current RMB 46,000) This is already double the salary of ordinary guards on the market.

These four people seem to have no sense of money, and they are obviously picky about food and other things, and they don't understand anything. Fran feels that they are more like rich children than him, but they don't have the qualities of nobles, and their behavior is rough and polite... …

"Who is this?" Fran couldn't help asking.

Kane saw Fran's dissatisfaction and suspicion towards the guards and smiled secretly.

who? Modern people chant.

As long as they are not modern people living in slums or backward mountain villages, when they come to this era, they are basically all kinds of young masters and young ladies who are not used to it, don't know what to do, and can only watch with their hands.

Not only because the material life of this era is not rich enough, but also because we do not understand and adapt to the life style of this era, especially the details.

To put it bluntly, I didn't do the pre-work well, and I came here to play role-playing more than a hundred years ago, so it's not like it. Indigenous people are not the same as brain-dead.

Fran is in a sensitive period, and he has uncovered more memory details of this suspicion.

Charlotte Byron, who was implicated by pig teammates, was also suspected by Fran.

He looked through the old accounts, and suddenly found that Charlotte had a lot of doubts. Judging from her detailed performance, she did not have the characteristics of a lady.

"How did I get so close to her so quickly that we were talking about marriage?"

Charlotte naturally saw Fran's mood changes and distraction, and she asked with concern.

Fran was perfunctory at first, but when asked anxiously, he began to lie: "The assassination last night made me feel that there will inevitably be disturbances in the inheritance of inheritance. How can we suppress this malice and inherit rights quickly and fairly? Go talk to Ted."  …
