Chapter 380: Very Stranger
Not long after the funeral of the White Rock Tower, Richard left the White Stone Tower in a low mood.
I had to be in a low mood, earlier today first the Golden Mask died - a high probability of death, and then Macbeth died - 100% dead, one after another dead people, I really don't know who will die next, how can I be in a good mood?
With this in mind, Richard hailed a carriage and went to the residence of the scholar Surates.
When I arrived at the place, it was already dark, and the rain was much lighter, but it continued to fall, and it was a little chilly on people.
Richard straightened his clothes, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the door of the mansion of the scholar Surates, ready to knock on the door to explain his intentions. I thought to myself, I don't know if I will be rejected if I visit so late.
I just thought about it, but as soon as my hand landed on the door, there was a "squeak" and the door opened.
Richard looked into the courtyard gate, and saw a quiet dead silence, like a haunted house, and a faint strange smell wafted in the air, sniffing vigorously, as if it was blood.
Richard's eyebrows furrowed, the muscles on his body tensed instantly, and he sensed danger.
"Whew-"
Richard took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the darkness, and the thoughts raced through his head: what happened here? The university scholar provoked someone to get revenge, or ......
Thinking about all the possibilities, Richard quickly cast the "Cloak of Shadows" to hide his breath and silently walked towards the depths of the courtyard.
In several corners of the courtyard, Richard found several corpses, all servants of the mansion of the scholar Surates whom he had seen before, and the cause of death was shattered internal organs.
If I was not mistaken, the servants fell to the ground and died at the moment of the attack, but did not show any signs of injury, as if they were asleep. After a long time, it became apparent that something was wrong, and blood with fragments of internal organs flowed out of the seven orifices, emitting a bloody aura. This method is simply the work of the most powerful stealth assassin master, and of course, in Richard's opinion, it is more like being done by magic.
Wizards?!
Richard thought to himself, his vigilance increased, and he moved forward more carefully. After that, I walked through the garden and into the house, and arrived at the door of the scholar's study.
"If the university scholars are still alive, the greatest possibility is here. If it dies, the greatest possibility is also here. Richard thought to himself, and tentatively pushed the door open.
The moment the door was pushed open, Richard quickly saw everything in the study, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
I saw that in the study, the granddaughter of the university scholar, the cat slave girl Heidi, was knocked unconscious and lay on the ground softly, while the university scholar sat on the chair with a pale face. A scruffy man dressed in a blue aristocratic outfit with bloodshot eyes stood behind the scholar, holding a dagger on the scholar's neck.
"Squeak" the door opened, Richard appeared, the man in blue was obviously slightly surprised, the university scholar's eyes lit up, and a light called hope erupted from the depths of his eyes, and shouted with all his might: "Richard, take Heidi away......
The next moment, before the voice of the scholar Surrates was finished, it stopped abruptly, because the man in blue held a dagger, quickly slashed through the neck of the scholar Sauradies, and with a strong lift, the head of the scholar Surrates was separated from the body, and the fracture was extremely smooth, under the influence of some strange force, all the blood vessels were closed, and no blood flowed out, which looked extremely weird.
The man in blue put Surates' head on the table like a demonstrative, looked at Richard, glanced at Heidi who had fainted on the ground, and said softly, "You can't take him away." ”
"Uh......," Richard asked, "and what about me leaving myself?"
"I'm afraid. The man in blue said, "I don't know how you sneaked in, but I'm sorry that you showed up and were going to stay here." ”
"Is it the same way to die as the people who died outside?"
"If you have special requests, I can accommodate you. ”
"Hmm......"
Richard responded, looking at the man in blue, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he realized something in his heart: the man in blue is probably not a simple person, maybe he is a member of the mysterious organization behind Somen and Mu Keni, looking at the other party's style, maybe he is stronger than Somen and Mu Keni. In this case, it is not easy to deal with it.
Then, how did the scholar Surrates provoke the other party?
Could it be that as he guessed, the identity of the university scholar Surrates is really unusual, so he was targeted by the other party?
Or is it ......
Richard's eyes twinkled......
......
Push back a little bit in time.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
The rain was still falling, and the scholar Surrates was studying something in his study, and a large number of books were opened, placed on the desk, and constantly consulted. At this time, there was a faint knock on the door outside, continuously.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a while, the knocking on the door did not stop, and the scholar Surrates was a little distraught, and shouted outside the door of the study: "Felik, go and see, what is going on?"
Tharates spoke, but no one answered.
"Huh?" said Suradies, frowning, beckoning to the other servants, "Mukula, Kazakh, Rus......"
After shouting for a long time, Surrates did not hear any response, and in the end only his granddaughter Heidi, with a meowing cat in her arms, ran into the study and asked, "Grandpa, is there something wrong?" I heard you keep calling the rest of the people, and they ......."
"Well, nothing. Suradis waved his hand and said to Heidi, "Just go and take care of your cats, don't let them go hungry, and don't worry about the rest." ”
"Oh. Heidi nodded, and walked out quickly.
When Heidi left the study, Suraday's face instantly became gloomy, his brow furrowed, and his appearance was very ugly, and he could clearly hear the knock on the door outside, continuously.
"Whew-"
Surrates took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out of the study, where he caught a glimpse of his granddaughter, Heidi, in another room, running after the mischievous cat.
"Heidi, you take the cat to the kitchen and close the door. Surates said, "There will be more peace there......"
"What's the matter, grandpa, why did you go to the kitchen?"
"Well, go to the kitchen and help me boil some water and make tea, there may be a guest coming." Suradis quickly changed his tune.
"Oh, that's it. ”
"Go ahead, take your cat with you, shut the door shut, and save the cat to run around. Sulady said.
"Oh, yes. Heidi answered, obediently grabbed the mischievous cat, picked up a few cats from the room, and carried them to the kitchen.
Surrates withdrew his gaze, steadied himself, and slowly walked out of the house and towards the courtyard gate.
Walking to the courtyard gate, Suradians asked the people who knocked on the door outside, "Who is it?"
"A strange visitor. ”
"Is there something wrong?"
"Something. ”
"Can't you come tomorrow?"
"I don't have much time, so I'd like to speak with you tonight, the esteemed Master of the Council, Mr. Thoradys. ”
When Souladis heard this, his eyes shrank and fell silent, and the next moment he reached out and opened the door, revealing the figure of the person outside the door.
I saw that it was a man in a wrinkled blue aristocratic robe, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little sloppy and ...... Some are dangerous.
