Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1233 1220. Breaking into

   "What's your name?" Xi Ya asked with blinking eyes.

   "Pedro." The boy replied without hesitation. Although his eyes were a little timid, he looked at the surroundings very strangely, especially the black sea surface that made him extremely afraid.

  Sia continued to ask: "It's a nice name, where do you live?"

  She flicked her long hair casually, deliberately revealing the scales on her neck and collarbone...

   "Yezipias Manor, my father is a swordsman and a squadron leader there." The boy's gaze was immediately attracted by the silver scales of Xiya.

  Sia asked him again: "Then can you play around in the manor?"

   "Yes, I have been to all places in this manor." The boy said very proudly.

   "Then let me ask you, is there any place where you live that your children are forbidden to go?" Xi Ya asked with some disbelief.

"There are many, such as... Earl Petunia's room, Captain Galt's office, and the basement of the manor. I heard that there were ghosts there a long time ago, and Earl Petunia ordered people to seal it up. "The child said afterwards.

   Speaking of ghosts, the boy looks a little scared.

   "Then recently... is your place still haunted?"

   "Occasionally, I can still hear the wailing of a ghost!" said the boy.

   At this time, he touched his arm suspiciously and felt the temperature. Just as he was about to ask, Xi Ya sang a lullaby again, the singing was soothing and melodious, and the boy closed his eyelids under the singing.

  Siya helped the boy to lie down on the bed, then lifted the illusion, and nodded to Suldak.

  Walking out of the boy's room and returning to the living room, the three of them sat back on the sofa and did not turn on the lights. The night had no effect on them at all.

   "It seems that we have to look for that basement, maybe we can find something!" Suldak said.

Aphrodite also said at this time: "I can feel the breath of black magic. It seems that there is something here that is constantly absorbing the power of the soul around me, but the breath is very weak and very vague. Easily overlooked!"

  Sia asked: "If the Black Magic Research Institute is really hidden in this manor, and they have not been discovered by the garrison and farmers, where do you think they will hide?"

  Suldak thought for a while and guessed: "Their residence is likely to be Earl Petunia's yard, or the basement under the manor, which is a huge underground building..."

   "Actually, when I walked into this manor, I found a unique place here. The more I think about it now, the more I think it's worth exploring." Xi Ya looked out the window and said firmly.

  …

   "There it is!"

  Sia stood in the shadow of the street, pointing to the fountain in the middle of the square.

It was a very ordinary-looking fountain. In the center of the intersection, there were some rockery piled up in the center of the fountain. There was even a humanoid sculpture on it. It was a girl holding a water bottle on her shoulder. A stream of clear water flowed from the water bottle. It spewed out, soaking half of the girl statue's body, and the clear water hit the rockery, and finally flowed into the pool.

   This kind of stone statue of a girl holding a water bottle can often be seen in small towns or manors in the Green Empire, so Suldak didn't even take a second look when he entered the manor.

Xi Ya said to Suldak and Aphrodite: "Have you seen that no matter how much water flows out of that fountain, it never overflows, and that water spout is clearly the magic circle of the water gathering technique?" , that is to say, this pool must have an overflow, and the water channel is either a well or an underground river."

   "Since this pool is connected to an underground river, then this underground river is likely to be connected to the basement. Of course, the premise is that the basement is large enough."

  She turned to Suldak and said, "Dak, I want to look for it in the underground river."

   "Then you have to be careful."

  Suldak patted Siya's round shoulders. He was a little confused now, why Siya was so eager to express herself...

  Sia nodded, and quickly ran out of the shadows while there was no one at the intersection.

  When she ran, her steps were very light, as if she was dancing.

   Then he jumped into the pool with a perfect fish leap, his body became lighter and gradually merged into the pool water, and he didn't even appear as a mermaid, nor could he see the slightest splash.

   Seeing Sia sneak into the manor's water system, Suldak and Aphrodite also decided to sneak into Earl Petunia's house to investigate.

Aphrodite had concluded that there was no life in this house before, and the two sneaked into the yard. Sure enough, the rooms inside were empty, and many rooms did not even have basic furniture. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time. It seems that the house has not been cleaned for a long time.

  After exiting Earl Petunia's house, Suldak and Aphrodite returned to the opposite side of the fountain in the square at the intersection of the street again.

  An alarm bell sounded from the manor, and Suldak and Aphrodite looked at each other. It seemed that the sleeping night warrior in the watchtower had been discovered.

  Lights gradually lit up in the entire garrison camp, and not long after, a group of cavalry came out of the barracks. These cavalry held turpentine torches in their hands and began to search around the manor.

Suldak and Aphrodite were sitting in the shadow of a roof opposite the fountain square. The cavalry passed by the street below the house, but no one noticed that there were two pairs of eyes on the roof watching the street below. .

After waiting for a long time, Sia emerged from the fountain, and while a troop of cavalry ran across the street, she quickly passed through the street and got into the shadows, leaving only a string of water-soaked spots on the stone floor. stained footprints.

  She quickly climbed up to the roof and hid in the shadow beside Suldak, panting lightly while twisting her wet hair.

   "Did you find any clues?" Suldak asked Siya.

"Um!"

   Blinked his big blue eyes and smiled. Then he said:

   "There is a secret room below..."

  Suldak asked: "How many people are there?"

  Sia shook her head and said, "There are many, but I don't know the exact number. I can't check all the places."

  Suldak asked again: "Then have you checked the exit of that basement?"

  Sia nodded quickly and said, "It's not in this manor, it's on the cliff behind, next to dense bushes and valleys, very hidden."

  Suldak said to Siya and Aphrodite: "You two are waiting for me at the exit, I will bring the heavy armored infantry regiment over..."

   "Are we going to fight Earl Petunia?" Sia asked curiously.

  Suldak shook his head, and led the two of them out of the manor, saying as he walked:

  "Since the garrison here doesn't know the existence of these black mages, then let's wake them up and let them know that there is a good neighbor hidden under their barracks..."

  …

  The three of them went around to the secret exit of the Black Magic Priory Research Institute.

There is a gurgling stream at the exit of the cave, and it seems to be surrounded by barbed wire. According to the sign outside the fence, this is the private hunting ground of Earl Petunia. There are usually some ferocious beasts in the hunting ground, which is considered to be around the manor. A forbidden zone.

Siya pointed to a rock at the exit. Even if Suldak had the 'Insight Technique', he had to look carefully for a long time before discovering that there was a magician lurking there. into one.

   "This stream is the upstream water source, and part of it comes from the fountain in the manor. I came here all the way down the river..."

  Siya hid behind Suldak and whispered to him.

  Suldak glanced at Aphrodite.

  Aphrodite nodded to him, and the meaning in her eyes was clear, 'Don't worry, I'll take care of her...'

  Suldak ran into the bushes with his waist down, and quickly ran towards the camp on the other side of the mountain.

  …

  Suldak returned to the camp, and the bearded Edgar was still sleeping soundly in the tent.

   On the contrary, the night warriors at the edge of the camp were very vigilant and keenly spotted Suldak who was trying to approach.

Edgar climbed out of the tent and immediately called all the infantry fighters to assemble. These fighters were almost all the elite troops left by the Ganbu plane rebels. They followed the bearded Edgar all the way out of the canyon town. Having passed the Battle of Bansko, defending the battle at Mukuso, and chasing the Hell Legion into the Sai Ruoman Plateau, it is the Iron Army after countless battles.

  Suldak led the heavy armored infantry regiment to bypass the blockade of the lord's private army on the opposite side, and broke into the private hunting ground set by Earl Petunia as a restricted area, the sky had already turned bright.

The heavy armored infantry regiment surrounded almost all the woodlands, valleys, and rivers under the mountains and rocks, and the lord's private army guarding beside the boundary markers discovered that this heavy armored infantry regiment broke into their house without making a sound. territory.

  The cavalry returned from the boundary marker first. When they heard that Suldak's heavy armored infantry had entered the restricted area of ​​the hunting ground, they chased them here.

   Just when this group of cavalry arrived at the edge of the hunting area, they were blocked from the hunting ground by a double-headed ogre covered in black heavy armor.

The dozen or so knights who rushed to the front almost fell off their horses. These knights lay on the ground and wailed. Their horses were hit by Gulitum's huge force, and almost all of their internal organs were smashed. Blood spurted from the mouth and nose and fell to the ground. The ogre was already squatting on the edge of the hunting ground to start a fire, and was about to set up a large iron pot to cook horse meat.

   In the face of disparity in strength, a group of cavalry did not dare to act rashly.

   On the other side, Suldak had led the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment into the monastery research institute hidden under the mountain wall.

  Because this place is extremely secretive, the garrison and farmers in the manor don't even know that there is such a hidden place under their feet, so there are actually not many black magicians and magic apprentices in this research institute.

  Under the charm of Aphrodite, the magician guarding the entrance became a string puppet before he even had time to issue an alarm.

  Suldak rushed into the cave with a team of warriors...
