Chapter 15(1/4)
The autumn wind swept across the water and caused layers of ripples, and the waves shone, and it seemed that there were bits of gold scattered on the lake.
The climate in the south is warmer and humid, so the grass by the lake is still green like a green velvet carpet that can't be seen.
This is a happy and peaceful life like heaven.
Standing on the dock, Ruibo gently spread the bread crumbs in his hand on the lake. The fish were fighting happily, spitting out skewers of water, causing waves. Not far behind him, the beloved thoroughbred horse was running around the grass freely, and Ruibo never restrained it.
It has been four days since I arrived here, and everything seems so peaceful.
Except for taking a walk to the county magistrate's house yesterday, Ruibo never left the villa.
The old lady Mei Ding seemed to have forgotten him, and she has never seen her again since that meeting.
Except for Miss Lanty who would chat with him for a while while having morning tea, he was always alone at other times.
Bored, he went to the lake to feed fish or rode on horseback on the grass and became his only entertainment.
Of course, a peaceful and peaceful life is also very suitable for magic practice.
Although meditation on the meadow by the lake is far less obvious than when it is deep in the forest.
However, since two days ago, he rode alone to the edge of the forest to practice. When he came back, he was scolded by Miss Lanti, Rebe never dared to run around again. The other side of the lake became the farthest place he could reach.
Apart from that time, Ribo had never seen Miss Lanty get angry.
In his impression, Miss Lanty was like a kind and amiable elder sister, the warmest and most amiable person besides Aunt Betty.
In fact, if Miss Lanty hadn't been there, Ribo would have felt that this place would never be able to live in again.
Most of the places in this villa are forbidden to enter.
His bedroom on the ground floor and the garden living room behind the villa are the only places he can get involved.
His bedroom is the innermost room where the maids live on the ground floor.
Living with the maids did not make him feel dissatisfied. After all, it was already a very unattainable dream to be a decent male servant in a noble family with his original ideal.
Compared with the nobles, Ribo felt that he was the same type of person as these maids. Although he now plays the heir of the lord, he never changed this feeling.
He will never forget his years in Nangang.
But what made Ribo regret was that the maids never ignored him, as if he was infected with a plague, and he could not understand it.
As the days of peace took longer, Ribo gradually felt a little bored. Now what he cares most about is when Mr. Hyde will bring his magical experimental materials and equipment.
Mr. Hyde promised him that this matter would be done.
Although the parchment was hidden beside Ruibo, he could not do anything without material. The only thing he could do was study the pronunciation of those divine texts. Although he knew the description and expression of wind in the divine texts from the elves of the wind, this world was not composed of wind alone. Ruibo was far less profound than the wind's perception and understanding of other elemental elves.
In addition to waiting anxiously for the arrival of the magic test materials, Rebbo was extremely curious about Mr. Hyde telling himself that he would have a new teacher.
Although, Ribo could guess that the teacher must be a person who was shameful and shameful like scammers and killers like Eckert and Keller.
But Ribo is not disgusted with all this.
In his opinion, Eckert and Keller are undoubtedly both brilliant figures, and Mr. Hyde is even more powerful and omnipotent.
Their talents are far more brilliant than other famous figures they have ever met.
Learning from such people is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Of course, learning from them does not mean being the same person as them. Ribo neither wants to be a liar nor wants to kill.
I wonder what the new teacher can teach him? What kind of person will the new teacher be?
Is it a thief like Paim?
Or a spy like Fez?
Ruibo guessed.
Just as he was standing on the dock and thinking about it, a carriage drove from afar. The carriage door was inlaid with an angel relief. Needless to ask, it must be the carriage of the church, probably sent by Mr. Hyde to pick him up.
The carriage slowly drove to Ribo, and the coachman was dressed in black and white-collar trainee pastor's costume. He asked, "Are you Mr. Ribo Byrndit?"
"Yes.''" Elder Mondie sent me to pick you up to the cathedral," said the trainee pastor.
"Okay, but please wait a little, I'll say something to my aunt first."
As he said that, he threw all the bread crumbs into the lake and turned around and walked towards the villa.
Walking into the villa, Rebow raised his head and shouted upwards, "Miss Landy, Mr. Hyde sent someone to pick me up. Can I go?"
"Come upstairs." The voice of Miss Mei Ding came from the second floor.
Rebe walked up the second floor and saw Miss Medin and Miss Lanti standing at the window looking at the carriage in the distance.
"Grandma, what are your instructions?" Ruibo asked cautiously.
"Do you recognize that coachman?" asked the old lady.
"I haven't seen it before," Rebbo replied.
The old lady Meiding obviously knew what Ruibo was thinking. She said coldly: "So many people died in the family, they will always become smarter and more cautious."
Ruibo pondered for a while and said, "I will be fully prepared. Although I am not sure what will happen, I think I should be able to deal with the danger, and there is also a bodyguard who will protect me secretly at any time."
"You like adventure and that stimulating feeling, right?" said the old lady coldly: "If you must take this risk, then you can go and prepare quickly."
Hearing this order, Ruibo immediately said goodbye and went downstairs, running back to his room.
In the room was a special dress. The cuffs and collar of the snow-white shirt were rolled with long silk lace, but the other places were not that good-looking. From the elbows to the waist, they were made of cloth woven with steel wire mixed with thick linen.
The outside of the vest is covered with bright yellow beautiful silk embroidered with dark patterns, and inside is actually two thin steel plates in front and back. It is absolutely uncomfortable to wear on the body, but it looks quite flat and shaved.
The dress was carefully cut from the best wool fabric, which was both beautiful and elegant, and the clips of the dress were made of tough magic wolf skin.
To protect the head, the top hat was made of rhinoceros leather and surrounded by a scarf woven with thick wool and steel wire.
It can be said that even on the battlefield, it is not quite difficult to get away with this outfit.
Compared with real armor, although this dress is lighter, it is a pain to wear when worn on it.
Only on occasions like today can this dress come in handy.
As for the crossbow and wand, Ribo will always carry it with him and will never leave him for a moment.
After packing up, Ruibo walked out of the door and headed towards the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Rebow carefully searched around. The knowledge that Kelle once taught himself how to prevent assassination traps is now really useful.
Ruibo even used the ring given to him by Teacher Maske, and did not find any suspicious points. It seemed that there should be no problem with the carriage.
After entering the city, Ruibo was closely watching the movements on both sides.
The coachman was indeed a little suspicious. Although the direction was not wrong, he was indeed heading towards the cathedral.
However, there was clearly a straight and spacious avenue, but he didn't walk, but rushed to a crowded path next to it.
The knowledge of assassination that Kyle once taught him emerged little by little in Ribo's mind.
At first glance, many small places that did not attract people's attention have become hidden murderous inspiration in Ruibo's eyes.
Ruibo silently calculated the moment when the killers took action.
Every time he crossed an intersection, his vigilance increased a little, because he knew that the best place to do it was undoubtedly the location of the neighboring cathedral.
When you are about to reach your destination, it is the time when you are the weakest of your vigilance.
The cathedral's circular zenith gradually appeared in front of me, and there were still two streets before reaching the square in front of the church.
As Ruibo expected, he had been following his two carriages behind him, from left to right, slowly approaching here.
The coachman gradually slowed down the speed of the carriage.
When the two carriages clamped themselves in the middle, it should be the moment they took action, and Ruibo knew this very well.
Pulling out the wand from the pocket, Ruibo whispered a mysterious spell. After the magic was ready, Ruibo took the wand and pointed it casually, and a drop of liquid beads fell silently on the face of the coachman in the carriage on the right.
The effectiveness of psychedelic powder is indeed immediate. The driver fell down from the car after he fell.
Ruibo, who had already prepared for this opportunity, was waiting for this opportunity. He gently opened the car door and jumped to the ground. For Ruibo, who had received high-difficulty escape training in Kelle, this was nothing at all.
Standing steadily on the ground, Ruibo walked towards the carriage behind him. Since the driver in the carriage was lying on the ground, the people in the carriage could not escape, let alone even if they escaped, there was the driver who fainted. He probably couldn't even climb up.
As Ribo expected, the drivers in the other two carriages saw that the action failed and immediately drove the carriage desperately, and then disappeared at the other end of the street after a turn.
Ruibo was not interested in those two carriages at all. If he ran away, he would run away. Anyway, there was one more car.
Ruibo walked towards the carriage, and there were already a circle of people around the carriage, and two people looked into the carriage.
Ruibo walked closer and saw him shocked.
What a bloody and terrifying scene in front of you!
A little in front of the carriage wheel was a corpse lying across. The fatal wound did not come from the scar on his forehead when he fell from the carriage seat. What really took his life was the crossbow arrow that was deeply inserted into the back of his head.
It is completely different from the hand crossbow that I am good at using. It is a crossbow arrow with a thumb thickness and a foot long, and is fired with a bulky military crossbow bow.
In front of this terrifying weapon, the steel armor worn by the knight was as fragile as thin cardboard.
The crossbow arrow was nailed into the back of the corpse, and the arrow penetrated between the eyes and the bridge of the nose. In order to increase lethality, the arrow was covered with sharp barbs, and the muscles on the face were completely torn apart. The blood-red wound was rolled up and exposed white bones. The huge penetration force even pulled out the eyeballs, and was pulled out by a blood-stringed tendon and hung outside the eye sockets.
From that terrible wound, there were also milky white brains, which was really a terrifying scene.
