Chapter 94 Scarlet Game
Night, moonless, overcast.
In a vineyard on the outskirts of Adrian.
In the manor at this time, several mysterious men wearing robes and hats raised high were directing a group of slaves to arrange something in the manor.
"Are you sure you have everything needed for the ceremony?"
After working for a while, a leading mysterious man in a red robe and a high hat came to the open space of the manor and asked the people next to him.
"Well, sir, everything needed for the ceremony has been prepared in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents."
In response to this answer, the mysterious man said calmly: "This ceremony is very important, very important, so no matter how confident you are, you have to check it again."
"If we wait until the distinguished guests arrive in the evening, there will be something wrong with the ceremony."
"Don't say it's you then, even I can't afford the consequences, do you understand?"
Hear the extremely serious tone of the other party and the warning contained in this tone.
The bald slave owner immediately bent down and promised: "Don't worry, sir, there will definitely be no accidents. I guarantee it with my life."
"Guarantee with your life?"
The mysterious man smiled, and then held the other person's head with one hand.
Although it was just a simple action, it made the bald slave owner immediately feel strong uneasiness.
It was as if the person holding his head at this moment was not a human at all, but a ferocious beast that could choose to devour him at any time.
"Your life is neither valuable nor guaranteed, but..."
The mysterious man released his hand on the bald slave owner's head and said calmly: "...but compared to those toys used to please distinguished guests, the life of a tool like yours is actually somewhat valuable."
"So, next time if you let me know that you bring someone you don't know to the manor, then he will be your fate."
After that, other men in robes next to him carried a body that had changed beyond recognition.
And threw it in front of the slave owner.
Look at the corpse's hollowed-out eyeballs, nose and ears that have been cut off.
Even the cruel slave owner was frightened by this tragic scene.
He collapsed on the ground in horror, and then began to retreat continuously on his hands and feet.
Stay as far away from the body as possible.
After seeing this scene, the mysterious man in red robe said nothing more and turned towards the manor.
At the same time, some other slaves who were making arrangements also noticed the situation here and saw the corpses on the ground with their own eyes.
This makes them work harder at the work at hand, fearing that they will become the next cold corpse.
Inside the vineyard.
After walking through a dark passage, the mysterious man in red robe came to a gorgeous box alone.
"Young Master, everything is almost done. The spy sent by the Second Young Master was also captured by my people, and I guarantee that he will be completely unable to speak."
After reporting his work, the mysterious man in red robe took off his mask.
And what was exposed under the mask was the leader of the Rust Mercenary Group, Du Enkel.
"Really? It seems that my dear brother must have found out some information, otherwise it would be impossible to send people here."
With that said, Remy pushed away the girl with blurred eyes in his arms.
The naked upper body came to Duon Cole.
"Duncol, how many years have you been with me?"
Faced with this question, Dunkel said without hesitation: "Ten years, Master Remy."
"Ten years?"
Remy looked up and thought for a moment, as if he was calculating whether the number Dunkel said was wrong.
However, this problem is undoubtedly too difficult for him with his noble status.
After all, he rarely pays attention to Dunkel on weekdays.
Fortunately, Remy is not completely ignorant of the art of superiority.
He looked at Du Enkel who was half-kneeling in front of him, and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast, Du Enkel, who would have thought that that little man who could only serve tea and water in the mercenary group, Now he is the leader of a mercenary group of hundreds of people.”
Hearing this, Du Enkel immediately said respectfully: "All this is thanks to the cultivation of the eldest young master, otherwise the villain would not be where he is today."
Faced with Dunkel's flattery, Remy smiled nonchalantly and then picked up the red wine placed next to him.
He didn't pay attention to any aristocratic etiquette. He opened the cork of the red wine bottle with his hands and took a sip from the bottle.
The bright red wine sank into his throat, and the remaining wine slid down his neck.
It dripped onto the extremely precious carpet at his feet.
After taking a sip, Remy wiped the red wine from his mouth.
"Duon Cole, do your best. I won't stay in this winery forever, and this winery will definitely need to change its owner. I'm optimistic about you."
Upon hearing this, Dunkel's expression suddenly became excited.
Because he heard the meaning of Remy's words.
"Yes!"
Remy smiled and patted Dunkel on the shoulder, got up and walked to the door.
Seeing his arrival, two pretty maids immediately put a tiger skin robe on Remy.
At the same time, one of the maids brought a mask that had been prepared in front of Remy.
And that mask was a white tiger mask.
Remy put on the mask, got up and left his room.
"Rhine, are you really sure there is no problem? You must know that this time is different from the last time. What we have to face this time is probably the top group of people in the entire Adrian. ”
"And once these people know that we are causing trouble, let alone me, a young viscount."
"Even if my father comes in person, he may not be able to escape unscathed."
"After all, to these people, a viscount without a territory is nothing."
On the carriage, Enrico looked at Rhine, who was sitting opposite him, with a worried look on his face, and his fat body began to squirm uncontrollably.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had already passed the adult ceremony and was already nineteen years old.
It was indeed not as stable as the thirteen-year-old Rhine in front of him.
Even though he is short in stature, he looks about the same height as Rhine, about 1.67 meters.
But the age gap between the two is real.
Facing the nervous Enrico, Rhine smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Enrico, you will be fine."
I don’t know if Rhine’s comfort had an effect, or if Enrico adjusted well on his own.
As the carriage drove out of Adrian, Enrico's nervous expression gradually calmed down.
He squeezed the wild boar mask he had prepared in advance, as if he had made a decision.
"Rhein, by doing this, we are saving a large number of innocent people, right?"
"Yeah."
"That's good, that's good..."
Seeing that Enrico had calmed down, Rhine immediately turned to look at the moonless cloudy sky outside the carriage.
I saw a crow in the sky following Rhine's carriage and circling continuously.
And just on the other side of the crow, a complete team of church paladins was looking up at the crow.
"Captain, when do we take action? I can't help but want to purify those evil heretics." Hearing the words of the team member, the eyes of the paladin captain under the helmet showed a glimmer of light.
He retracted his gaze from the Shadow Crow and said calmly: "Don't worry, the banquet hasn't started yet, and those heretics will definitely not sit down at the table so early."
"So we need to be more patient and wait patiently for those beasts to appear."
"At that time, our Lord's holy fire will illuminate all the gloom and purify the extremely dirty bodies and souls of those guys."
After hearing the captain's words, the Paladins who were a little restless around them quickly calmed down.
Because they have experienced many heresy trials, they know the importance of patience.
After all, rats in the gutter are good at hiding.
If they weren't more patient, they might accidentally let these guys go.
And if they miss this time, they are not sure they will have such a good opportunity to prove their piety to the Lord.
Except for the complete team of Paladins on the top of the mountain.
The church has now specially arranged another group of people.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After all, although Extraordinaries are powerful, their numbers are still few.
Especially in the Principality of Morton where the church's power is weak.
Therefore, if they want to quickly control everyone in a chaotic scene.
That's except for the powerful team of extraordinary knights.
They also need a certain number of ordinary soldiers.
But it is not an easy task to quietly dispatch a group of mortal soldiers in Adrian without alerting anyone.
Fortunately, the relationship between the church and the second young master Ian is good.
As a result, they finally received help from Ian.
On the sea behind the hill where the Paladin team is.
A warship that deliberately took off its serial number and covered up its flag.
At this time, it was driving towards them quietly.
And this warship is also the church's other important trump card tonight, besides the Paladin team.
"Master Ian, are you sure that our actions tonight do not need to be informed to Lord Randy?"
On the warship, Adrian Harbor Guard, Captain Fanz of the Third Fleet looked at Ian standing on the bow and couldn't help but ask.
Although Ian's reason for mobilizing them was to destroy a pirate stronghold that had been hidden in Adrian.
But the smart Fanz knew very well that their action this time was definitely not as simple as Ian said.
Because although the pirates were cunning, they were not bold enough to place their stronghold directly in a suburb so close to Adrian.
The places where pirates prefer to set up strongholds should be the uninhabited islands around the waterways.
But Fanzi didn't dare to disobey Ian's order.
After all, although he is the captain of a fleet of the Harbor Guard, he is not as powerful as Ian.
His captain is nothing at all...
Looking at Ian who was always standing on the bow of the boat, Fanz felt inexplicably uneasy.
'After tonight, Adrian may become lively, but I just hope that the noise will not affect me...'
"You two, please show me your invitation."
At the foot of the vineyard, a manor attendant wearing a 'big yellow dog' mask asked the two guests in front of him in a friendly manner.
Rhine, who was wearing a 'crow mask', and Enrico, who was wearing a 'boar mask', presented their invitations respectively.
After the attendant confirmed that the invitation was correct, he immediately bent down with great respect and said: "Thank you both for coming to the Red Vineyard. I sincerely hope that you two can spend a happy and fulfilling night here."
After that, two scantily clad maids wearing half-rabbit masks came forward, ready to receive Rhine and Enrico.
In response, Rhine said calmly: "I don't need it, just prepare it for the young master."
Hearing this, even though Rao was wearing a mask, Enrico's eyes were still visibly shining.
He looked at the two hot-bodied manor maids dressed as bunny girls, and regardless of whether he could bear it, he immediately put his arm around one of them and said with a laugh: "Hahaha, you still understand me, crow, if you want to know me The only bad thing about this guy is that he is lecherous.”
After that, Enrico ignored the looks of other people around him, hugged the two bunny girls and got into the carriage specially prepared by the manor.
Before getting in the car, Rhine quietly glanced at the woods in the distance.
I saw an owl statue placed at regular intervals in the woods.
If one looks from the air, one will find that these owl statues are not only scattered throughout the hill where the Red Vineyard is located.
It even showed the trend of encirclement, completely surrounding the entire red vineyard.
‘Extraordinary props specially used to detect extraordinary fluctuations? It's exactly what I thought. ’
On the carriage, Rhine thought about those owl statues and fell into thinking.
And his silence was noticed by Enrico, who was immersed in beauty.
He pretended to be casual and said: "What's wrong, Crow, do you regret giving one of the maids to me?"
Hearing this, Rhine came back to his senses and replied: "No, it's just what I saw and heard along the way that shocked me."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Enrico smiled and didn't say much.
He knew that it was difficult for Rhine to talk to him because there were outsiders present.
But considering the relationship between Rhine and Lilissa.
As well as the guarantee made by Miss Hailey and him some time ago.
Enrico finally suppressed his uneasiness.
After all, as an actor, he only needs to focus on his performance.
As for possible surprises in the future, it depends on the performance of director Rhine.
After the two men's carriage drove continuously for about half an hour, it finally stopped.
"Good evening, two distinguished guests."
As soon as Rhine and Enrico got off the carriage, another attendant wearing a 'big yellow dog mask' came towards them.
The two of them were currently in front of a luxurious manor.
And at this location, many of the carriages they had just ridden were parked.
Those who stepped off the carriage were wearing various animal masks.
But from their gorgeous clothes and superior behavior, it is not difficult to judge that their status is definitely either rich or noble.
And looking at the two Lain people who stopped in front of the mansion and did not go in immediately.
Several distinguished guests passing by immediately cast teasing looks.
He was obviously mocking the two of them for their stupidity and poor appearance that they had never seen the world.
"Two distinguished guests, please don't stop here. Please come with me."
"I will explain to you two about the various interesting projects in the Red Vineyard along the way, as well as the specific start time of the Scarlet Game and the auction."
Hearing the attendant's words, Rhine and Enrico nodded, and immediately followed each other into this magnificent manor...
PS: Now that the foreshadowing is almost complete, the subsequent plots will be easier to write.
It should be possible to resume daily updates again.
