Chapter 53: The Hand in the Lightning
Mars ran wildly along the line of gears, and soon ignited a trumpet-shaped copper bowl inside, and then there was a loud "bang", and the hall that was originally dim due to the outside weather suddenly seemed to explode a small sun, and the whole body of the Ani girl by the window shook involuntarily, and the scorching waves of air erupted from the front of the copper cup in the enamel box, carrying orange and cyan flames, and the small iron beads that rushed out, they were like a swarm of vicious wasps, with the bursting power of Khitan snow, flying out of the copper cup, Fan-shaped heads and faces were shot at the butler and his face and neck, and those who did not shoot on it also rubbed their ears and heads, striking strings of fire and smoke on the window lattices, frescoes, and columns.

In the heart-rending screams, the smoke-emitting enamel box fell to the stone slab scorched, and the butler was blown beyond recognition, the bridge of his nose was shattered, his head was still burning, an eye flowed out of his cheeks, his face was covered with blood, half of his shoulders trembled like a sieve, and he knelt on the ground, facing Master Plani, who was sitting upright in his seat, and Agnes, who was laughing arrogantly.
"Grandpa told you to remember that nobles are not just waiting to be killed when they are angry, and the minions of tigers and lions are never ornaments!" The Grey Maiden said.
The three Ani girls were paralyzed on the ground, with different postures, and they had not yet eased up, and the four archers and arrows were also frightened and took a few steps back just now, and the nephew of the official family, Little Pukrips, was also injured on half of his face because he was relatively close, and the embroidered cloak tied on his shoulders to represent the identity of the guard was jumped out of a few holes, and he also fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
"Master, master......" The seriously injured butler hissed and stretched out his hand.
"Pukrips, I remember you said you would cherish this box as you would cherish your eyes, and now that it's ruined, your eyes are finished, and the contract is canceled, how about it?" At this moment, the old Roman nobleman with a silver head said coldly and calmly, and then Magrundius said to the stunned bow and arrow forbidden soldiers, "Report to His Majesty the Emperor and purify the Khitan snow a little more, which can achieve the destructive effect of mine." β
Now everyone understands that Maglendius has already memorized his granddaughter's recipe, and then in the season of house arrest in Plani Manor, he easily created the powerful Khitan Xuelai, which is simply easy for Plani Grandpa has repeatedly used the toilet during this time, which is the reason.
When he was operating on the wounded soldiers, Maglendius mixed the Khitan snow in the medicine jar while applying medicine to the treatment object, secretly mixed it well, hid it in the enamel box, and placed many iron beads on the copper cup, which exploded and ruined Pukrips's face.
At this time, several gangs who heard a loud noise outside the hall ran in, and when they saw this tragic scene, they were frightened.
At this moment, Grandpa patted the armrests on both sides of the seat, and his momentum was majestic, "You all come in and help this filthy bedbug, the mechanism in my seat can shoot flames and crossbow arrows, and kill you all!" β
So the group immediately fled.
"O Pukripps, a man of insight like you is always bad and stupid. You have dismissed my and my granddaughter's faithful servants and my male and female servants, and you have secretly embezzled Prani's property, and you have colluded with the palace to seize my estate, and you think that a lonely, old lion will not eat people if he hides his teeth and claws? It's naΓ―ve, this is the life experience that I have to teach you as an elderI have been a senator in Constantinople, an official in the Samosata, I have been an imperial tutor magister, the highest of the fourteen noble classes in Byzantium, the former emperor personally dressed me in a tunic with gold thread, I have also invested in the monastery of Lavra on Mount Athos, I have studied in various colleges in the imperial capital, which big city in and outside the whole empire I have not been to? What role have I not worked in? I didn't fall in any wind or wave. Pukripps, it's ridiculous that you've been like this, in front of my manor's family, and you've been nesting on this island for half your life, like a frog at the bottom of a well. Do you know Pseros, the former president of the Imperial Capital School of Philosophy, pse11us, a famous scholar and important minister at the end of the Macedonian dynasty, who served many emperors? I and he poetry reciprocal reciprocal in the Imperial Capital School of Law, Siphirinus, do you know xiphi1inus, a classmate of Poseros, a historian, a jurist, and a monk? I talked and laughed with him. Pukripps, when you don't have the knowledge and skill of the nobility, don't covet the seat and status of the nobility. In front of the butler, who continued to scream, Magrundius reprimanded him, and then the old man put on his shawl and cloak, stepped out of his seat, and came to the side of Pukrips, and kicked down the little Pukelips, who was struggling to get up, and said contemptuously, "This looks like a palace guard, and the empire has been ruined by you bastards." β
The four archers reacted, and they nervously drew their sabers, and walked down around Magrundius, the little sunfish, and opened their arms to protect their grandfather.
Although Agnes's heart was beating hard, she suddenly felt that the blood and heart between herself and her grandfather suddenly fit together, which was about the power of family affection!
At this moment, the pizza boat flying the Red Cross flag came into her eyes, and the tall mast seemed to be on the window, "Pukrips, you just said that you will swear to protect my family property, and now it seems that there is a bad guest coming, and it is time for you to behave." Grandpa chuckled, glancing over the bows and arrows who had turned back, to the ship approaching the island trestle.
At this moment, the wharves, tidal flats, and market towns of Mytilene were crowded in surprise in the raindrops, and they looked at the mysterious ship that was constantly approaching, and it went straight all the way, very calmly, "Could it be that our island was also sold by the emperor to the Pisan people as a colony?" When the people saw the deck of the ship clearly, there was a coffin on it, surrounded by samurai in chain mail, most of them without helmets, with yellow or linen heads hanging down to their ears or foreheads, and the back of their heads shaved clean, looking very terrifying, "Like, it seems to be a Norman!" Is it a pirate? β
While Atalia's detachment had gone in pursuit of the loose ship with the "red head" and was heading in the direction of Crete, the other three ships, under the cover of the storm and dark clouds, also rowed rapidly, mingling with the other routes of Pisa and the Reladuck people, and reached the island of Repos.
With a few loud bangs, dark red pillars of lightning twisted and hit the turbulent sea. The corner of the coffin, which was covered with the holy flag, suddenly stretched out a hand, and after making a fist gesture at many Norman knights, in the lightning and thunder, grabbed the coffin cover, and squeaked with a terrible sound, trying to push it away. To be continued.
