The sky has gradually darkened, and the street lights in the city have been lit by night watchmen one after another.
There is still an endless stream of pedestrians on the main street, but some back streets and alleys are dark. Except for those local snakes who are familiar with this area, few people go into secluded alleys at this time.
The carriage Suldak rented passed through a lively long street, passed an arched stone bridge, and walked forward along the stone road for a long distance.
It wasn't until there were fewer and fewer shops around and all the surroundings were large houses that Surdak realized that the carriage had entered the wealthy area of Ivorson City.
This city is really big. The scenery outside the car window is constantly changing. The dim street lights pass backwards one after another from the car window. There are high-walled compounds everywhere in this area. The carriage goes until it is completely dark.
After coming down, he stopped next to a wall of roses. The coachman opened the door for Suldak diligently and said to Suldak with a charming smile: "Sir, knight, do you want to get off here?"
Surdak looked outside twice and saw with his own eyes young Beard walking into a villa without walls. There was a group of villas next to this wealthy area. These villa groups had no courtyards.
, next to the street, the villa is surrounded by lawns, and a row of banana trees is planted on both sides of the street, just like a courtyard wall.
He shook his head and said to the coachman: "No, please go a little further and stop at the street intersection in front."
"It turns out that you want to go to Sherwood Mansion, which is a good place to spend the night." The coachman immediately said to Suldak with understanding, and winked with a mean smile on his face.
The street in front is a very famous mansion, where various high-end dances are often held. However, Surdak is wearing a worn-out Warcraft leather armor, and he does not look like a guest attending the dance.
The Green Empire Mansion is actually a kind of private high-end club for noble lords. These mansions usually provide various services for nobles, including banquets, dances, press conferences, etc. Some mansions also provide hotel accommodation services for nobles.
, of course the cost is much higher than that of an ordinary hotel, the group of students from the Bena Swordsman Academy came out to practice.
At night, Sherwood Mansion was shrouded in bright lights. Almost every room in the mansion was brightly lit, and laughter and beautiful melodies came from the mansion hall. Fortunately, the coachman parked the carriage in a relatively secluded place. Surda
Ke got out of the car and paid the coachman a silver coin, and the coachman drove away with satisfaction.
Suldak passed by the entrance of the mansion, quickly got behind the banana tree on the street, and under the shadow of the banana tree, he felt next to the villa where Beard lived.
This is a two-story villa with an outdoor attic. The lights in the living room on the first floor of the villa are on, and soft light comes out through the window. Beard can be vaguely seen walking back and forth in the living room, and not long after, the room on the second floor of the villa
The lights are also on.
Suldak crouched and quietly approached the villa, and easily climbed along the side wall of the villa into the second-floor terrace. There were some clothes on the clothes drying rack on the terrace. He hid in the shadow of the terrace door and stretched out his hand.
Gently opening the bedroom door, there was a large bed in the center of the bedroom. The gauze hanging from the ceiling covered the entire large bed. The bed was covered with white silk sheets, clean and tidy.
There was no one in the bedroom, so Suldak picked up a copper candlestick from the table and walked quietly towards the door of the room.
After pushing open the bedroom, the sound of running water came from the corridor. The corridor seemed very quiet. There were two still life oil paintings hanging on the white walls on both sides.
Just when Suldak was about to follow the sound of water, the bathroom door on the second floor of the villa was pushed open.
"Lucy sweetheart, are you here?"
Beard wiped his wet hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom wearing only a bath towel, with a kind of impatient joy in his tone.
He walked downstairs along the corridor and saw that the living room downstairs was empty and no one answered. He was about to go back upstairs with some confusion.
Suddenly a candlestick appeared in front of him. In the moment of shock, it hit him hard on the forehead. Beard felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and a bright red liquid flowed into his eyes, making the entire field of vision filled with blood.
One second later, everything went dark and I couldn't feel anything anymore.
Suldak walked out from the corner of the stairs. The candlestick in his hand was stained with blood. The sticky blood flowed to his hand. He squatted down and wiped his hand with Beard's towel.
He carefully wiped the blood off the candlestick, placed the candlestick on the square table next to him, then turned around and walked back to Beard, squatted down and patted his fat face.
The young aristocratic officer lay down on the floor like a clean-shaven white pig, with a large puddle of blood dripping from his forehead on the floor.
Although he was unconscious, he still seemed to be breathing. Suldak calmly cleaned up the blood on his forehead, wiped the blood on the floor, and then pried open his mouth.
He stuffed the bloody towel completely into his mouth, tied up Beard's hands and feet with a tendon string, and then dragged him to the attic on the top floor of the villa and tied him to the villa.
On the pillar of the main beam.
After doing all this, Suldak breathed a sigh of relief, then walked slowly downstairs, turned out the lights in the living room, lay on the bed that originally belonged to Beard, and slept soundly until daybreak.
, then heard a banging sound coming from the attic.
Surdak woke up from his dream, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then climbed up the ladder at the end of the corridor to the attic.
The moment Surdak pushed open the dust cover of the attic, the noise in the attic stopped suddenly. Beard was tied to the main beam of the attic and looked at Surdak with a horrified look on his face, waiting for him to see Su.
After Erdake's face, he was even more frightened and trembling all over. He kept struggling to get out of the trap, but this kind of beef tendon binding rope became tighter the more he struggled.
Suldak walked up to Beard and sat down on the dusty floor in front of him.
At this time, Beard's white body was covered with dust, like a gray mouse that everyone yelled at. He stared at Suldak with fear on his face.
Surdak smiled faintly and said to him: "I know you are a smart man. Even if I pull the thing out of your mouth, you won't yell, right?"
Beard nodded desperately with a look of horror on his face. At this time, snot and tears flowed out of his nose. He was as embarrassed as he wanted.
Pulling out the bloody towel that was stuck in his mouth, Beard gasped for breath, as if he would suffocate to death if it was any longer.
Suldak reached out and patted Beard's chubby cheek and asked him: "You know who I am, right?"
Beard nodded repeatedly with a look of horror on his face. After a few seconds, he seemed to remember something and shook his head desperately.
"say……"
Suldak said impatiently.
He has never understood why Duke Newman let this group of young nobles with no experience form a war room in the first place.
"Lord Knight, seeing that I have never done anything harmful, I beg you to let me go, please!" Beard said tremblingly, with a trembling cry in his voice, and he seemed to be scared.
pole.
"Oh, I can ask my family to pay you a ransom. I think I still have some value. I just ask you not to kill me..."
