Using the power of money to open the way will indeed lead to disadvantages. Under the temptation of the Gran Pound, passers-by burst out with unlimited enthusiasm.
He even took the initiative to guide them a long way until they confirmed the location before reluctantly leaving.
"That person just now must have thought you were stupid and rich." Chris joked after the passerby left.
"Unfortunately, I am neither stupid nor rich." Wayne said casually and looked at the house at the end of the street.
It is said that this is the residence of the commoner who was granted the title of baron due to his great fortune. Of course, that's not who he is now.
This residential area is far away from the bustling streets and alleys, almost close to the edge of the city wall. Even in a civilian area, the land price is very cheap.
There are only a few very dilapidated buildings around, with cracks on the walls, and many messy wooden shelves placed casually aside.
In short, it is a place that ordinary nobles would never accept to have anything to do with themselves. I don’t know whether the former baron has always lived here, or whether he had to make do with the situation due to his poor circumstances.
The door was closed tightly, and only a few weak and dim light came from the cracks in the window to tell everyone that there were indeed people living here.
Wayne walked up and knocked on the door. Chrissy and Tasia also stood behind him, waiting together.
However, a long time passed and there was still no movement inside. Wayne, Chris and the others looked at each other and immediately activated their magic perception.
There were no signs of life fluctuations. He was startled for a moment and immediately broke through the door. The lights were still on, and the warm dinner was still on the table.
However, the person disappeared. Wayne's eyes stayed on the soup basin in the center of the dining table for a while.
It is said to be soup, but in fact the condiments seem to be only a few leaves of indistinguishable vegetables. A small bowl was just served, but it seemed that it hadn't had time to start.
Tasia followed in confusedly, feeling a little strange about Wayne's behavior.
"Did you find anything, Mr. Wayne?" But after seeing the dinner that was clearly set on the table but not started yet, she paused slightly.
"This is..." Wayne frowned and said, "I can't sense his presence. He probably encountered some very urgent problems, and he didn't leave for a long time."
"So... is this the reason why you broke into the house privately?" Chris looked away and looked at him with her head tilted.
"I'm doing this out of concern!" Wayne said confidently.
"It's obvious from the outside that someone is at home, but no one answers. What if something happens to me?" For example, someone kills me for revenge.
Sorry, I've read too many suspense stories. o(m) Tasia pondered: "Are we going to make another trip tomorrow?" This person was not on Tasia's investigation list.
According to what the passers-by just said, Baron Horace once received a knighthood for his military merits, and he was very glorious for a while.
He did not yet know that Horace had been deprived of his title. When he mentioned this baron, his tone was full of honorable pride.
"I think it's necessary," Wayne said.
"...If he were deprived of his noble title, he would most likely not be as secretive about his civilian origins as the previous ones." Even if it is used as a comparison group for reference, it is quite valuable.
Tasia nodded. However, when the three of them were about to leave Horace's home, there was a messy sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
A group of people in guard uniforms dismounted and surrounded them. The leader wore a hat with colorful feathers.
He looked at the three people in front of him and ordered: "Arrest these rebel spies!" The other five people echoed loudly and surrounded them without explanation.
Wayne only felt that a question mark was slowly popping up on his head. He protected Chris while warning: "Are you looking for death? We are relatives of Duke Wenche, not rebels!" But the man in the feather hat could not listen to any explanation at all, and said coldly and sarcastically: " Oh, a relative of Duke Wenche...I am still a relative of His Majesty the King!" Those guards did not hold back at all.
Wayne, who had been restraining his attacks, became angry.
"Tasia, knock them out first." The moment the words fell, the soil under his feet began to expand, soften, and flow.
The soil that is no longer hard seems to have turned into some kind of colloid. Once it is contaminated, it is extremely difficult to break away.
The movements of all the guards slowed down more than ten times, and from a distance it looked like they were performing a funny mime.
Everything is sinking as far as the eye can see. The horses were frightened and ran away neighing, but the more they scurried about in the mud, the faster they sank.
Seeing his horse disappear in a blink of an eye, the leader's eyes twitched.
"I didn't expect it to be a big fish." He stepped on the other guards and jumped to a high point where many wooden shelves were stacked up.
Then, he spread his hands and carved something in mid-air. A strange symbol as red as blood appeared, and the temperature in the air seemed to be slowly rising.
"If you don't submit the inspection certificate, it will be a killer move." Wayne said in a deep voice,
"Then, can I understand that you have ulterior motives?" The man turned a deaf ear.
"Collude with the rebels and you will deserve to die!" A huge pillar of fire burst out from the symbol in front of him, and dragons and snakes danced in the scorching flames.
"...Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it right away." Wayne turned around and briefly comforted Chris, then raised his hand to summon a cube-shaped earth element protective shield to protect her inside.
Do not know why. The moment the installation was completed and the flames hit, Wayne suddenly remembered...the practice of begging chickens.
The beggar chicken Chris was completely unaware of his rebellious thoughts. She opened her lips slightly and said two words to him.
However, because the earth element completely cut off the air inside and outside, Wayne could not hear what she said.
"It'll be fine soon." He smiled at her. But when he turned around and looked at the man wearing feathers, his expression was no longer so good.
"Is he worthy of death?" he asked.
"Now that you have such an awareness, you can't blame me for what will happen to you." Although as long as you become Ecos, you can have the magic power of cheating, and you can turn three dimensions into two dimensions and two dimensions into three dimensions. Not a problem.
But at the same time, Wayne did not relax his study of earth magic. What will happen if you re-analyze the original magic in yourself using the magic power of another dimension?
Then naturally... another level of magic will appear. The surrounding mudflow continued to climb while rolling, forming a closed dome in the blink of an eye, trapping everyone present inside.
"Come to me," Wayne called to Tasia. (Search on Baidu on mobile phone for [My Sister is the Villainous Daughter + New Book] Click to read on mobile phone to turn pages, eye protection. Power saving. Data saving function)
