Mage Joan

After the caravan departed, Mount Vernon, except for the Castis sisters and the butler, Heimdall, had only a few elderly servants who were inflexible and could not withstand the toil and rushing on the way to escape. They voluntarily left behind the housekeeper, the huge manor. Become deserted and desolate.

When the sun was about to set, the Castis sisters were sitting in front of the crystal ball, and Rebecca used "sniffing" to detect the movement around the manor. Within half an hour, they saw the brigade riding horses in the crystal ball. Feizhen's "dragon cavalry" dressed in red military uniforms are galloping towards Mount Vernon, all with rifles and sabers on their backs, looking murderous, and there are no more than a thousand people!

The sisters looked at each other, and their expressions became tense.

When Rebecca saw the battle, she knew that Fei Zhenren was obviously rushing to Martha, trying to kidnap the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and threatening Vaasa to lead his troops to surrender.

At this point, she didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately greeted Heimdall and the close maid to come over, cast the spell and brought everyone directly to a hundred miles away, caught up with the servants who had left first, and escorted the convoy to Delin Town.

An hour after the Castis sisters left, Bannister Winthrop led the cavalry captain and drove straight into Mount Vernon.

Seeing the quietness of the manor without even a ghost shadow, Little Winthrop knew it in his heart.

In fact, before this trip, he guessed that Mrs. Martha might have taken refuge from home with the help of magic, and the chance of successfully arresting the wife of the Continental Army Commander-in-Chief was very slim, so he made second-hand preparations in advance.

In this raid on Mount Vernon, there are also two war correspondents.

Bannister Winthrop got off his horse, made a gesture, and motioned to his men to enclose the gate of the manor. He walked to the gate and stood on the stone stairs with a saber in his right hand and a whip in his left hand. Powerful and chic style.

At the same time, a reporter half-kneeled not far from the opposite side of Little Winthrop, held the "photograph" in both hands, clicked violently, and filmed the Lord Lord conquering the home of the commander-in-chief of the rebels from all angles. Heroic.

The two military reporters will post these pictures together with the front-line battle report of Leiden Port to the news agency overnight. Tomorrow morning, this report will be on the front page of the Avalon Morning Post, and one of the pictures will be selected as news. illustration.

"This thing invented by Far Eastern guys is really easy to use!"

After the photo process was over, Little Winthrop relaxed and came over with his horse whip to chat with reporter friends.

"That’s right, Lord Lord, we used to be troublesome with pictures for news. The frontline reporter team had to bring a painter. For example, in the situation just now, you have to stand at the entrance of the manor for at least a quarter of an hour. A fixed posture, so that the artist can draw a sketch, then engrave and print it, and publish it in the newspaper in the form of a print."

"Really troublesome!" Bannister said with emotion.

"Not only is it troublesome, but the lines of prints are too vague. They are far inferior to the vivid and delicate pictures taken by the ‘picture mirror’, and they cannot perfectly show the Lord your heroic posture in conquering Mount Vernon!"

Little Winthrop laughed loudly and in a good mood.

At this moment, the guards suddenly yelled from behind, followed by pushing and pushing.

Little Winthrop put away his smile, frowned and looked back. Two guards were walking over with a gray-haired black man.

"General, this **** is the servant who stayed behind to keep the housekeeper!"

While reporting, the guard violently pounded the old black slave with the butt, and pushed him to the boss.

Little Winthrop looked at the angry old black slave coldly, did not hide the contempt in his eyes, and suddenly drew his pistol, pressing the muzzle against the old black slave's forehead.

"Despite nigger! Tell me honestly, where did your mistress go, or she will kill you with a single shot!"

"Then you kill me! Sir, kill me!"

The old black man was trembling, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of fear or anger.

"Anyway, Madam and Miss have gone far, you robbers...Never try to catch them!"

"Nigger! Keep your mouth clean, who do you think is a robber?"

The guard rushed up, kicking the old black man to the ground, bumping his forehead against the stone steps, and blood flowed across his mouth.

"Bah! Stupid scumbag!"

Little Winthrop spit on the old black man, put his pistol away in a daze, turned his head and said to the other guard: "Burn the manor, and if there are living people inside, come out and kill one by one."

"Yes, Lord General!" The guard saluteed, turned and hurried away, conveying the command of his superior.

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred in the silent manor, and the heavy fog appeared out of thin air, as if flowing out of the dusk sky. In a blink of an eye, the main building complex of Mount Vernon was completely submerged, and it quickly spread to the surroundings. For a long time, it spread to the intruder who was about to set fire to kill.

Seeing this weird scene, Feizhen officers and soldiers, as well as the two self-proclaimed and well-informed reporters, were all frightened and quickly retreated in the direction away from the fog.

Bannister Winthrop couldn't help but change his face, realizing that there was probably a powerful spellcaster secretly sheltering the manor.

"Your Excellency, something is wrong, for the sake of safety, let's withdraw it first!"

Little Winthrop's lieutenant, Colonel Patrick Ferguson, gripped the mythical rifle, and warned his boss.

Little Winthrop hesitated for a while, nodded reluctantly, ordered not to touch the vegetation of Mount Vernon, and did not try to chase down Mrs. Vassar's convoy, so he led the team away in such a desperate manner.

Bannister Winthrop, the "Bloody Prince" known for his cruel methods, did not commit any crimes in the autumn of Mount Vernon, which is completely inconsistent with his usual style.

The servants who stayed behind in the manor looked at the Feizhen cavalry regiment, and felt baffled.

At this moment, the fog covering the manor quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

After personally experiencing this strange incident, the slaves who survived, led by the old black man whose forehead had fallen, knelt on the ground and prayed in unison, thanking Goddess Timothy for blessing.

They have reason to believe that the sudden life-saving fog was a miracle that the goddess personally lowered, and they had their own divine intent to protect the owner's property.

…

At the same time, thousands of miles away from the city of Leiden, a young mage was looking at Mount Vernon through a mirror at the Institute of Agricultural College of the "Hometown of Green Fields" in the Far East. His deep gaze revealed complex emotions in his heart.

In fact, Qiao An originally wanted to kill Bannister Winthrop remotely, but in the end he changed to cast a "mythical cloud technique" to scare away the "Bloody Prince" and his party. The reason why he temporarily changed his mind was because he was in Xiao Wen. In Slope's cavalry, many dark-skinned figures were seen.
