Chapter 344 Sneak In
After giving out the address of the study, the butler left. Heath followed the address given by the butler and went to the study.
The study was a room on the third floor of the castle. At this time, the door was closed. Through the crack of the door, one could vaguely see a flame inside. It should be the Count that the butler mentioned earlier who was talking about things inside.
There were many ways to enter. Heath thought for a moment and decided to choose the simplest one —
Knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock! A dull sound suddenly came from the wooden door.
In the room, Count Barris, who was sitting on the sofa, placed the oak cup in his hand heavily on the table. “Are these servants crazy? I remember I told them not to let anyone disturb me before I leave the room!”
Knight Colette, who was sitting opposite him, said, “Perhaps they have something important to report, or else no one in the castle would dare to do so.”
Count Barris nodded. “It’s best if that’s the case.”
As he spoke, he stood up and opened the door. However, when the scenery outside the door appeared in front of him, Count Barris’ expression changed.
Standing at the door was a strange young man. Although there were many people in the castle, Count Barris was sure that he had never seen this young man before.
What did it mean for a stranger to enter his castle in the middle of the night and even appear directly at the door of his study?
Count Barris and Knight Colette’s expressions changed at the same time.
Clang! The sound of metal interweaving rang out.
Knight Colette reacted very quickly and pulled out the cross-shaped sword he carried with him and rushed forward. Count Barris, who was in front of him, quickly stepped back and opened his mouth to shout, “Com…”
However, the moment he said that, the Count’s voice suddenly stopped.
At the same time, Knight Colette, who was rus.h.i.+ng over, also froze on the spot.
At this moment, an invisible force suddenly swept over and firmly grabbed Count Barris and Knight Colette. The two of them felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed them. It made them unable to move.
Count Barris was shocked and his face instantly turned into a state of panic. He stared at the young man in front of him in disbelief. A rank that only appeared in legends instantly entered his mind —
Wizard!
At the same time, Heath opened his mouth. He explained briefly, “I don’t mean any harm. Please don’t be nervous. I just have something to ask the Count. If the Count is willing to cooperate, blink twice. I will restore your freedom.”
Count Barris blinked twice immediately.
Heath immediately released the Wizard’s Hand that was used on them. The two who were bound were also able to regain their freedom.
Count Barris had just regained his freedom. Before he could speak, Knight Colette beside him continued to slash at Heath with his sword. “You d*mn…”
Count Barris quickly shouted, “Stop, Colette!”
As he spoke, he took a step forward and stopped Colette’s attack.
Knight Colette asked in confusion, “Sir Count?”
Count Barris said, “Colette, don’t you understand? This is a n.o.ble Wizard in front of us.”
As he spoke, he deliberately came closer and reminded in a low voice, “D*mn it, put away your sword. You will kill us!”
As a n.o.ble, Count Barris knew more about Wizards than ordinary people. He had even seen Wizards cast spells with his own eyes. Therefore, Count Barris knew very well… In the face of such an extraordinary supernatural force, their strength as Knights was nothing at all. Fighting against them would only lead to death.
“What?”
Hearing Count Barris’ words, Knight Colette was also shocked. The cross blade in his hand trembled and almost fell to the ground.
He looked at Heath as if he had seen a ghost and stuttered, “Wizard… Wizard…”
There was no one in this world who did not know the name of the Wizards. It was a legendary existence that could summon wind and rain and ignite flames out of thin air. In front of mortals, Wizards were no different from G.o.ds.
Da da da da! At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor, accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.
Not long after, a group of soldiers wearing nail-studded leather armor appeared at the door. The crossguard swords in their hands shone with cold light under the torches on both sides.
“Sir Count, what happened?”
“Protect Sir Count!”
The soldiers swarmed into the study room. One after another, they charged at Heath in an aggressive manner, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
Facing this large group of armored soldiers, Heath’s expression was calm, as if he did not care about the people in front of him at all.
He raised his hand and patted lightly.
Clap! Clap! There were two clear claps.
With these two soft claps, the soldiers who rushed in seemed to have suddenly been possessed.Cras.h.!.+ A large number of them fell to the ground. In a moment, they were all lying on the floor in the corridor.
Darkness-type AOE spiritual attack spell (Collective Slumber).
Seeing so many soldiers being wiped out in the blink of an eye, the faces of Count Barris and Knight Colette in the room were as white as paper. There was not a trace of blood on their faces, as if they were extremely terrified.
Heath glanced at them and then said casually, “I just put them to sleep. When they wake up, nothing will be wrong with them.”
Hearing Heath’s words, Count Barris and Knight Colette finally let out a sigh of relief, and their faces regained some color.
Count Barris bowed deeply again and said with a bow, “Thank you very much for your kindness, Sir Wizard. On behalf of these idiots who offended you, I apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness.”
Heath waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.”
After a pause, he sat on the sofa, picked up a bottle of red wine from the table next to him, and poured himself a gla.s.s. He was a little thirsty after walking for so long.
The two n.o.blemen in Golden Harbor Town did not even dare to take a breath at this time. They did not care about Heath’s rudeness at all. Instead, they stood on both sides of the table very respectfully, looking like servants.
After Heath finished the wine in his cup… Count Barris then dared to come forward and say, “Sir Wizard, this is the wine sent by Esque Winery in the south. I heard from Old Drunkard York that it is made from wild grapes from the Black Forest. If you like it, I will get someone to prepare some for you to send over later.”
Heath said casually, “No need.”
Just now, he was just thirsty. This level of alcohol was on a completely different level compared to his usual drinks.
Pausing for a moment, he cut to the chase and said, “I asked you to come here today because I have something to consult you two. I heard that you discovered a sunken s.h.i.+p earlier…”
