The Magic Thief Chapter 11:
Although this is the south, it is much warmer than other places in France, but the autumn wind has begun to bring chills to the people here.
When Ruibo gets up for a run every morning as usual, there are always many insects stiff and falling to the ground along the way.
Autumn means the end of their lives.
It has been a whole week since Mr. Hyde told Ribo about the huge plan they had planned.
Ribo himself didn't know why he agreed to help Mr. Hyde. This was originally something that had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, it is undeniable that this plan is extremely dangerous.
Pretending to be an heir to an earl is a felony treason no matter where it is found. Once discovered, there is absolutely no way to survive.
What's more, the earl is still a lord.
For Searthburg, even Ribo knew that both His Majesty the King and the ministers were all staring at this piece of fat that was full of temptation in their eyes.
The lord, the old Earl Medin's family, have had several tragedies one after another during the recent period, which is undoubtedly premeditated.
It seems that some people really hope that all members of this family will be extinct.
The role he is about to play is the last legal heir of this unfortunate family that has been viciously cursed by some people.
As long as oneself dies, then the Medin family will naturally become a family that disappears naturally in the Kingdom of France.
Therefore, Ribo knew quite well that he promised to play the role of the heir, undoubtedly using himself as a target, a target pointed at by countless daggers and crossbow arrows hidden in the deep shadow.
Although, knowing all this, Ribo still agreed.
The reason for this is inexplicable even Ruibo himself.
Perhaps, he was really moved by what Mr. Hyde said.
Perhaps, as a Nangang native, he really doesn’t want the beautiful homeland built by the people in his hometown for generations to come back to the original desolate and desolate appearance because of the greed of some people. .
Perhaps, he also hopes that Aunt Betty, Uncle Kaul, Mr. Shopkeeper, young boss and old boss who have taken care of and loved themselves can live a happy life.
All of this may be a justifiable reason.
However, only Ribo himself knows, and there is another reason for him, which is also very important.
Since Mr. Hyde told himself that the one in his youth completely changed him and affected the thrilling journey of his life.
Ribo is full of longing and yearning for adventure.
He longs that one day he can become an adventurer like Mr. Hyde.
Ribo originally envied the seafarers who wandered on the ocean, but compared to Mr. Hyde, those seafarers were nothing at all.
Mr. Hyde's experience is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ruibo.
Now, an adventure that will surely make him unforgettable is right in front of him. It is brave to board. I don’t know where to go, and I don’t know what dangers and bumpy adventures will be encountered along the way. Sailing, still give up this opportunity.
For such a choice, Ruibo can get the answer without much consideration.
Besides this reason, there is another thing that affects him more or less.
The portrait hanging in his bedroom is exactly those portraits of the Earl's daughter herself, that is, the real Ribo, the mother of Byndit.
Ribo has never seen his mother. Since he is sensible, Aunt Betty has been taking care of him.
When he was a little baby, his mother had already passed away.
So Ruibo can only see his mother in his imagination.
In his imagination, the mother's appearance is the gentle and beautiful portrait in the portrait, and at the same time it is full of the appearance of a dignified and elegant lady.
Ribo did regard that Lisa and Miss Medin as his mother.
The only difficulty was that he couldn't accept that Viscount Beldit was his father anyway.
Ribo and his father have always depended on each other. Although his father has been busy at sea for many years, he has very little time to stay with Ruibo.
However, Ruibo's relationship with his father has always been very close.
In Ruibo's impression, his father is a brave, firm, and gentle person.
The feeling of father's rough and powerful but always full of gentle hands, gently touching the top of his head, still makes Ruibo feel extremely warm.
Therefore, it is difficult for Ribo to accept the handsome and graceful face, but always wears the aristocratic arrogant smile, Viscount Byndit.
He can never compare with his father.
Ribo can't really care about this "father" at all.
Although, it cannot be said that this is not an omission, but Mr. Hyde and Eckert believe that this small omission will not cause too much problem for this plan.
In fact, in those noble families, the relationship between father and son was quite cold, which was originally quite normal.
Even, there are many people who have turned against each other.
Besides, Ruibo's performance was quite gratifying for both of them.
In order to familiarize Ruibo with the new identity, they have prepared a lot of information.
This time is different from the trial. Ribo definitely needs adequate preparation, because the slightest flaw may make the whole plan a waste.
In this month, Ruibo must keep in mind the real Ruibo, everything about Bairdite.
And this is far from enough. He also has to know every nobleman in Surthburg who might come into contact with him.
Ribo must remember clearly the relationship between them and the Medin family, their temperament, personal preferences, and even the important things they have done, because in the future, his first opponents will be these people.
All the information was sent by Fez.
Ribo is curious about Fess.
Face is a hereditary nobleman, why does he obey Mr. Hyde's orders?
Furthermore, it is completely obvious that Feth's position here is still below Eckert and Kyle.
His job is to gather information everywhere, and talk about Mr. Hyde's relationship with him everywhere.
Because of this, Fez has a wide social relationship, and there are almost no nobles he does not know in Francis...
However, Fez’s identity is undoubtedly extremely confidential.
Mr. Hyde has taken care of himself, no matter what the situation, Fez can only come to him, and he will never be able to approach Fez proactively.
This ban is obviously not against Ruibo alone.
After running around the manor twice, Ribo didn't feel tired. Now he can easily run thirty or forty miles, which is nothing to him.
All this is due to the blue ointment given to him by Master Masek.
The ointment has already been used up.
As Mr. Mask said, after absorbing this ointment, his skin can quickly gather wind elements.
The faster you run, the more wind elements will gather, and the denser it will be.
The weight of the body naturally has to be shared by the gathered wind elements.
So Ruibo felt that the more he rushed, the lighter his body would become.
Furthermore, after running fast, the oncoming wind is no longer the same resistance as before.
He seems to be gliding in the wind, and that feeling is really good.
Of course, the better feeling is when he rides on a horse. The speed at which the horse gallops is definitely not comparable to his legs.
When riding a horse and galloping, Ribo often worried whether he would float in the air.
Because he doesn't feel any weight in his body at all, he seems to have become a fluffy cotton ball, gently piled on the horse's back.
This feeling is really peculiar.
The cause of this miracle was the jar of ointment given to him by Master Masek.
Now, the world of magic is full of incomparable attraction for Ruibo.
As soon as he returned to Mr. Hyde's manor, Ribo immediately ran to his room on the second floor.
Last night, it took eight hours for the magic powder he carefully refined to be successfully refined.
Calculating the current time, eight hours is almost almost here.
As Ruibo walked up to the second floor, suddenly Eckert stuck out half of his body from the study room and said, "Ribo, come here, there are some things that need to be discussed with you."
"Ah, Mr. Eckert, I’m sorry, my room is refining pharmaceutical agents. Can you allow me to take a look at it. I’m refining this kind of thing for the first time, so I don’t know the time of refining. Will anything dangerous happen if it's too long?" Ruibo quickly explained.
"All right, but not too long." Eke nodded and said.
"Oh, I understand." Ribo promised to run quickly into his room.
The room has been re-arranged. There is a long table next to the west window. It is made of thick teak, salty and painted dark red. There are also carved patterns on the feet of the table. Compared with Mr. Masik The four oak tables in the laboratory are much more elaborate.
On such a large table are placed a crucible, a stove, a stone mortar, a stack of white paper, and a few tools scattered around, making it extremely empty.
Ribo originally just wanted to drag the desk here, but Mr. Hyde insisted that Eckert buy this test table, because he said that every magician should have a decent test table. And when he was working with Mr. Marschke, he had seen how crowded the test table of Marschke was. Such a table might not be enough.
Ribo took out the parchment that Mr. Masek had left for him from the drawer of the original desk.
Clear writing is automatically displayed on the parchment paper.
Ribo keeps all the matters needing attention in mind.
He turned around and walked to the big table, picked up the long-nose pliers and opened the lid of the crucible.
As a burst of purple smoke dissipated, Ruibo clearly saw a layer of crystal clear purple-red crystals condensing on the bottom of the crucible.
Ribo opened all the windows and expelled all the purple smoke in the room, gently lifted the crucible from the stove and put it aside, and extinguished the fire, all of this , He is very organized.
Ribo pulled out a sheet from the stack of white paper, then took a long silver spatula, and carefully shoveled the purple-red crystals that had condensed in the crucible, and placed it on a white cushion. Paper on the table.
Ribo didn't know the usefulness of these crystals, because there was still a line of text on the parchment that did not show up, but he knew that his experiment had been successful.
Ribo takes out the parchment paper.
This time, a line of text that was not originally printed on the parchment.
"The purple-red crystal is called psychedelic powder. It is a medium and raw material needed to perform a lot of spiritual magic. The crystal is ground into finely divided powder and then dissolved in castor oil. The resulting solution can make Animal skin quickly absorbs. Once the psychedelic powder is absorbed into the body, it will cause the receptors to hallucinate, and the brain will not work normally, which will cause the limbs to become limp. In severe cases, it may even cause the heart and lungs to fail to work properly. It is a dangerous drug that causes death. A small amount of psychedelic powder into the human body can make the brain enter a very pleasant psychedelic state. However, the psychedelic powder will gradually addictive to the receptor, so that it is difficult to get rid of the control of the psychedelic powder Therefore, unless it is for the purpose of learning prophecy, it is best not to try this dangerous medicine without authorization."
Seeing the writing on the parchment, Ribo thought to himself that the things the magician made were really dangerous things.
The first simple experimental course that Ms. Mask used to enlighten himself was to create such a terrible potion.
It seems that this medicine must be kept well, or it will cause a catastrophe.
Thinking of this, Ribo wrapped the fuchsia crystal tightly with the white paper, and locked it in the drawer of the desk together with the parchment paper.
After doing all this, Ribo felt relieved.
Now, I should go to the study, I don't know what Eckert has to tell myself.
Ribo walked out of his room to the door of the study.
Opening the door, Ruibo was surprised that almost everyone was sitting in the study. On the rocking chair by the window was Mr. Hyde, and on the next row of sofas were sitting Curt, Firth and that Mr. Paim, Kyle will always be the same. Riber has never seen him sitting. Kyle is standing in the darkest corner of the study.
Seeing Ruibo walking into the study, Mr. Hyde asked: "How is your magic experiment done?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's considered a success." Ribo said.
"What good stuff do you come up with? Can you tell me something, so that we can learn more?"
Face is obviously interested in everything weird.
Ribo thought for a long time, and finally felt that it might not matter to say it. He said: "I just made some psychedelic powder, which is the magic potion used by the prophet when he intends to see the future."
Face didn’t know much about what Ribo said, but Mr. Hyde frowned. Obviously he has a deep understanding of this medicine. Sure enough, only Mr. Hyde said: "Ribo, Your teacher taught you to make psychedelic fans, but didn’t tell you, are there other uses for psychedelic fans?"
"Other uses?" Ribo was extremely surprised. Had Mr. Hyde ever heard of this medicine?
Think about it, he used to work with his teacher for a while, maybe, for psychedelic fans, Mr. Hyde knows its purpose better than himself.
"The notes the teacher left me only tell me how to make this kind of thing, and the nature of this kind of thing, there is not much to describe its purpose, I only know that psychedelic powder is to display the spirit The medium of magic can also be used for prophecy." Ruibo said, although this is not entirely a lie, it is also not true.
Mr. Hyde thought for a while, nodded and said: "Ribo, did you know that psychedelic powder is an extremely dangerous potion?"
"I know, the teacher mentioned that this kind of thing can make the brain hallucinate, too much absorption can be fatal, and the psychedelic powder can be absorbed by the skin, which is hard to prevent, but the psychedelic powder needs castor oil Come to dissolve it, and this thing has a unique smell. With the skill Kelller taught me, this poison will not have any effect on me."
Ribbo said.
"No, the danger I am talking about does not mean its toxicity. As you said, psychedelic powder is not a very good poison, but psychedelic powder has a special ability. It can paralyze people instantly, which is also effective for any beast." Mr. Hyde explained.
"You mean, psychedelic powder is a weapon for self-defense, isn't it? Then I will go back and do more. There are enough raw materials in the teacher's laboratory." Ruibo said cheerfully.
Mr. Hyde looked at Ruibo's excitement, nodded again and said: "It seems that you did not deceive us. Massek really did not tell you about the terrible aspects of psychedelic fans, psychedelic fans. It was indeed able to subdue most beasts. At that time, Massek prepared a small bag of psychedelic powder for each of us as a precaution, but the real scary part of this potion is that it can bring incomparable joy to people. Just one milligram can make people feel as if they are in heaven. It is a kind of feeling that you absolutely can't imagine..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Hyde seemed to be remembering something, and he didn't think he stopped talking.
"Have you tasted this before?" Fez asked cautiously.
Hearing Feith’s question, Mr. Hyde came back to his senses. He nodded again and said, “Yes, I did do such an extremely stupid thing. For unintentional behavior."
"Is the result terrible?" Fez asked.
"It can be said to be terrible, or it can be said that the opposite is true." Mr. Hyde explained: "Psychedelic powder can be addictive. After addiction, it is like a **** can no longer be separated from a woman, no gambler Inseparable from the gaming table, you will be deeply infatuated with this kind of potion, but when you run out of psychedelic powder in your hand, then you are living in hell. This kind of taste is also unforgettable for a lifetime. , I am a little scared when I think of that hellish day, and you should be quite clear that there are not many things in this world that can make me feel scared."
"You made it through?" Ribo asked.
"Yes, I'm very lucky. I got through it, but the others were not so lucky. The others are all dead." Mr. Hyde's tone was extremely heavy.
"Including my father?" Eckert asked, his voice extremely cold.
"Yes, including your father." Mr. Hyde responded.
Ribo never thought that such a peculiar relationship still exists between Eckert and Mr. Hyde.
"Oh, this psychedelic powder does seem to be an extremely dangerous thing, Ruibo, you'd better put it away, or you will get into trouble." Fez said.
"Yes, I will immediately destroy these terrible things when I look back." Ribo agreed.
"No, don't." Mr. Hyde stopped: "Mashk teaches you to make this kind of potion. It should have a different meaning. Although psychedelic powder is extremely dangerous, it is indeed a very useful tool. , In this plan, it is possible that this kind of thing will be used. You can never imagine how easy it is to control a person with psychedelic fans. There may not be one in a hundred people who can escape the control. What's more, A little bit of psychedelic powder can bring you any information you need, psychedelic powder is the best tool to pry open the closed mouth. And, in case of injury, psychedelic powder solvent is the best The painkillers of China are almost immediate, and it is definitely beneficial to prepare a little."
"Didn't you say that this thing is extremely dangerous and easily addictive?" Ribo was a little confused.
"Yes, so you have to make it extremely thin. You can find a goat to try. The right dosage can make the goat extremely excited and run wild, but once it is overdone, the goat will Collapsed to the ground," said Mr. Hyde.
"Is that no more addictive?" Ribo asked.
"No, it is also addictive, but the addiction is not deep. It takes about once or twice a month. Once you feel the addiction, just take a bath in cold water and you will be able to cope with it, and it will not be fatal." Hyde said: "Well, you slowly experiment with these things by yourself, Ruibo, sit down and discuss important things with you."
Ribo did not dare to neglect when he heard the business talk, he sat down in the empty seat.
"Eckert, tell Ribo everything you know," Mr. Hyde said.
"Okay." Eckert promised: "Ribo, you should remember the butler."
"I remember, what happened?"
"The butler almost died. The soft armor he wore forever saved his life. However, he was quite scared. He told us that he would never come forward to correct it publicly. Ribo is the real heir to the lord. , Now this guy is protected by us in a safe place, but don’t expect any help from this guy. Almost everyone except the housekeeper is dead, the mercenary guarding the villa and the captain, even including The servants and cooks in the villa were all killed and clean. At the scene, they also threw down a corpse, the corpse of a child in aristocratic costumes. Do you know what this means? ?" Eckert asked.
"It's a vicious method, then what about our plan?" Ribo asked: "The other party has obviously severed all our connections with Surthburg. The child's body will definitely be considered Ribo. The body of Byndit."
"Their plan is obviously like this. Fortunately, we have taken precautions." Mr. Hyde said: "I asked the butler to tell the headmaster of Searthburg two months ago that the real Ribo was secretly by me. Take care of this. No one else knows about this except for us. However, in order to calm people's hearts and prevent the situation from getting worse, Ruibo, now is the time for you to play. You have no more preparations. Time is up."
"You mean, we have to leave this time around, right?" Ribo asked.
"Not recently, but now. Mr. Hyde and I have already discussed that tomorrow will be our departure day." Eckert said from the side: "Although, the time is a bit hasty, but I know. You are almost ready. You already know everything about Surthberg and Ribo. Byndit."
"By the way, if you go to Sorthburg tomorrow, you will definitely pass by Piton. You can say hello to the Baron Ronnie. If they plan to go to Sorthburg, I welcome them to travel together." Mr. Hyde said slowly.
"It's not necessary," Ribo said.
In fact, he didn't want to be involved with the baron daughter again.
The beautiful and charming Miss Fanny apparently took a fancy to herself, the grandson of the insignificant lord, but she deceived her and her two amiable parents from beginning to end.
This kind of deception made Ribo feel extremely heavy in his heart.
Since the most recent period, as long as he thinks about this, he feels a deep moral condemnation.
Perhaps, he is still not suitable to be a liar.
Because even conscientious thieves and liars like Mr. Hyde and Eckert will never care about these unnecessary emotions and morals, but he can't do it, he can't do it at all.
Of course Eckert knew Ribo’s reaction clearly. He said: "Ribo, do you think that the original trial was just to find a random target to test how much you have mastered?
No, not only that, you are deliberately arranged to know those people. In front of those shabby nobles, you have proven how good you are. In this way, no one will think that you are a bad fake. Goods, Ruibo, you have not forgotten, who are the people who were invited at that banquet, more than half of them have a deep connection with Earl Meding, you will need their support, and now, you have to It's undoubtedly much easier to be accepted by the nobles of Surthburg, isn't it? "
A smile hung from the corner of Eckert's mouth.
"Yes, your trial was absolutely successful. Mr. Hyde originally asked me to promote it for you in Surthburg, but this is not necessary at all. There are many people who are willing to complete this for me. This work, especially the deep impression you left on those ladies, now, I’m sure, the whole of the girls in Surthburg are looking forward to your early appearance, you know, their circle is not me If you have the ability to mix in, your results are really amazing." Fez said with a smile also.
Ribo was not happy or proud to hear what they said half-truths and half-truths, because he was still unable to accept this kind of use of all available people and things.
Mr. Hyde clearly understands Ribo’s feelings. He said: “Rebo, if you feel that someone has been hurt in this matter, you can make up for her as much as possible, but avoiding it is the solution. There is no problem. You will always have to face this difficult problem. The only thing you need to consider is how you plan to solve this matter. This is the root, rather than thinking about how to solve the matter. If the goal is not To be clear, the process will be extremely long and full of dangers of failure."
"Well, I won't let these unnecessary things affect my work." Ribo said.
"No, I don’t mean that feelings are unnecessary things. Hey, you will understand this one day, but it’s a bit early for you, as you said. , You go to work."
Heard Mr. Hyde's order, Ribo got up from his seat and walked to the door.
When he walked to the door, Mr. Hyde seemed to remember something and said: "Ribo, you tell the butler, hurry up and buy a few goats. If you want to live, you will need these for your experiment. Goat’s, as you said, it’s useful to make more psychedelic powder, but you have to hide in a safe place, and you have to learn when to use these dangerous potions. , Ruibo, remember that those potions are much more dangerous than the crossbow in your hand."
"I'll be careful." Rebo replied.
Out of the study, Ribo gently closed the door. He wondered whether to make some psychedelic powder, anyway, the material is still too much, eight hours, then when he eats at noon, he should be able to refine it successfully.
But before that, as Mr. Hyde said, we must first figure out the characteristics of these psychedelic fans. It seems that some experimental products are really needed.
Thinking about it, Ribo walked to the butler's room downstairs.
In the study, Mr. Hyde was sitting there, looking at the door of the study, he sighed for a long time, and said to himself: "It seems that my words did not work."
"Why do you think so?" Face said, he didn't see anything abnormal.
"At the time, Massek repeatedly told us like this. Our reaction at that time was not much different from Ruibo, but the tragedy still happened. The most terrifying part of this medicine was at the beginning. It does not show great harm. On the contrary, its benefits are countless. However, after excessive use, people will lose their vigilance against that terrible harm. The danger is often in this situation. Happened., Mr. Hyde explained.
"It's a very human medicine," Eckert said mockingly.
Although I don't know if this matter is still as bad for Eckert after so long, everyone understands that this is not a good topic.
"Eckert, how are your arrangements?" Mr. Hyde asked.
"All right, Ruibo is the best student I have ever seen. Because of this, he only took a week to remember most of what he needed to know. In addition, in the previous trial, the deep connections that have already been laid, it is not difficult to make the nobles of Surthburg accept his identity. The only problem is the aunt."
"Yes, I also have a headache. There is no way to find the old lady." Fez said with a frown.
"However, she is the most important person. She must firmly win this Miss Ruo. Without her help, Ribo would never have been able to stand up in Searthburg." Mr. Hyde said: " However, this incident is not necessarily a good thing for us. Those mercenaries were originally the most unreliable link in the whole plan. I am worried about how to deal with these people after Ruibo is recognized in the future. It’s fine now. Someone helped me solve this problem, which actually eliminated the trouble for us."
"What's more, I was worried about whether Ruibo would be willing to work for us wholeheartedly. With Masque backing up, there is absolutely no way I can force him to do these things, but now, the matter is completely resolved. Ruibo has always dreamed of taking risks, and he has a so-called sense of justice in his heart. Those **** methods have helped us a lot. Eckert, you look back for a stand-in, a stand-in who is similar to the housekeeper, and throw it into the sea. Go inside and let others think that the guy is dead, so that no one will be concerned about him, but you have to watch that guy closely. He ran out and was found out, and he was completely abandoned."
Eckert heard the head's command and nodded in agreement: "Yes, but, just to be on the safe side, do you think you can just let him disappear completely?"
"No, it might still be useful to keep him. No one knows the Byndites better than him. You just have to watch him and don't let people find out." Mr. Hyde said.
"This is easy. The butler is a pretty scary guy. Now, he stays in the house all day and doesn't even dare to go near the window." Eckert said.
"That's good, Feith, you go back to Searthburg immediately, and you can find out who is most concerned about this tragedy. It seems that someone is impatient to take action." Hyde ordered again. road.
"Follow orders, head."
"Kierle, you should know the most about the assassination. You have already been to the scene to see it. Have you found anything?" Mr. Hyde asked.
"Amateur level, it seems that the murderer is just a mob, otherwise, the butler would not be able to escape successfully. However, those people’s sword skills are much better than those of thugs. They all seem to have been specially trained. Judging from the wounds on the corpse, those people's actions were extremely clean and tidy." Kyle replied.
"Then what is your opinion?" Eckert asked, although he already had some concepts in his mind, he still wanted to hear what Kelller had to say.
"A soldier, more specifically a knight, at least five knights, one of whom is left-handed," Kelller said.
"Left-handed knight? I can check it out." Fiss nodded and said.
"Fez, you can check it out soon, but you don’t need to put too much effort into it. I guess such an important thing must be planned by an important person. If this is the case, for insurance , They may not be able to use the people from Thurthburg, Pem, I’ll teach you this thing, you send your spies around to inquire, I will say hello to Maier, but you also have to warn in advance Those of you, take care of their fingers." Mr. Hyde said.
"Understood, head, I will tell my subordinates to stop doing business and try my best to investigate this matter." Pam replied.
"By the way, Pam, how many people do you have right now?" Eckert asked.
"There are fifty-three in the city of Laier, and Brother Faying is their head. The total number of spies that can be summoned temporarily is a hundred people, but these spies are all working in Lai and making a living. It is impossible to send them Going to other places, there are a dozen people in the two surrounding towns, plus twenty Tanyus. There are 21 golden fingers in Piton, but there are a lot of spies, there are always more than two hundred numbers. People, Piton is very poor, so they can only use the ideas of the merchants in the past. Bart is really uncomfortable with the alloy fingers to make a living, but there are also more than ten spies there. There are thirty-seven golden fingers in Searthburg. The spies have About sixty or so. As for Nangang, the head keeps telling me not to intervene in that place." Pam replied.
"For a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, Pym should now be the time for your men to play a role. Let the spies keep an eye on every stranger who enters and exits their hunting grounds. No one is more familiar with their city than them. As for the cheats, let them be ready at any time. I may have something for them to do. In recent days, the cheats can converge a little bit. I don’t want people to be locked in jail when I ask for help. Inside."
Mr. Hyde said.
"Got it"
"Kyle, you can gather the people. Since someone wants to play a dangerous game with us, then we'll accompany us. As long as there is news from Pem or Fiss, it may be our turn. You do it." Hyde gave a cold smile. At this time, this old man really looked like a thief leader.
"I will let Brother Leben come back from Xibai. They are very good helpers and absolutely reliable. Sisfeier and the others can be summoned back if necessary. I know they are already on Kassy Island. I’m tired of the above. If you can rescue the madman Pete from the big jail in Surthburg, he will be a good accomplice, and his ears are the most spiritual in our business.” Kelller said .
"Call them all, Faith, that lunatic, can you think of anything?" Mr. Hyde said.
"Oh, I’ve heard of that madman. He was caught because he was naked to a certain lady. The people in the prison were like throwing him out. I want to save him. It's not difficult, but is it safe to let such a madman participate in our operations?" Fez asked.
"Pete is indeed a madman, but he is a useful madman. I can take care of him. He will stay by my side like a normal person, and when I act personally, the madman is the only one who can cooperate with me. , The guy who helped me."
Keller said.
"I see. I'll get that guy out. It's not too difficult." Face agreed.
"Well, it seems that the problem has been solved. We are going to do our own work separately. Time is running out." Mr. Hyde said.
Eckert, Firth, and Pym stood up quickly after hearing the head's order to end. Indeed, they had too many things to arrange.
The whole day of mining was extremely busy for everyone in the manor.
Ribo blends the castor oil in his room, and it is not a simple matter to let the purple-red crystals dissolve into the castor oil.
A new potion is being refined in that crucible.
Mr. Butler has already sent someone to the city to buy goats, but at least the goats can be delivered to the manor in the afternoon.
As for Mr. Hyde, he is packing his luggage.
This time the matter is very important, he must go out in person, let Eckert do this alone, he is a little uneasy.
What's more, the master of the diocese knows himself well.
Now, the only person in Surthburg who knows that the dead is not the real Ribo, Byendit is the respected patriarch.
Because the housekeeper of Byndit’s mansion once told the patriarch, Ribo, that Byndit had been quietly fostered in his Keveele. Egret. Inside Lord Hyde's manor.
And all this was arranged by his own hands, because he had always worried that something like this would happen.
In the long course of his life, he has seen too many conspiracies and plots, and he has long learned how to prevent them.
In Surthburg, this sir is the best person to be told this secret.
Because the patriarch has nothing to do with any nobles or interest groups, in the eyes of others, the patriarch is the only person who can maintain impartiality and neutrality.
What's more, the patriarch has a noble character and is deeply respected by everyone in Surthburg.
Moreover, his influence is huge.
Although the patriarch has no power, several powerful nobles in Surthborough are his godsons, and at the same time, he is also a close friend of most of the wealthy nobles there.
No one would ignore what he said.
Similarly, no one would think he was lying.
Ribo’s appearance is more appropriate than having the housekeeper accompany him on stage.
Furthermore, there were more than a dozen dead bodies lying behind this patriarch's words.
This appalling tragedy undoubtedly increased the strength of the patriarch's words.
Anyone will take all this for granted.
The death of those mercenaries is not a bad thing for him.
The reason for this is only because he had prepared well in advance.
Mr. Hyde is quite satisfied with his original arrangement.
The opponent hiding behind the scenes obviously did not expect that he would have won the first round. And winning is extremely easy and enjoyable.
But the most important thing now is how to turn the victory of the first round into the final victory.
Every next step, there must be no mistake at all.
Although he is already a wealthy and peculiar rich man, his early life left a very deep mark on Mr. Hyde.
For decades, he has not changed some habits.
One of them is the luggage for travel, which he always prepared himself.
Because for a traveler, things will not be messed up with the luggage that he organizes himself.
A person who has walked the rivers and lakes for decades, each item in his luggage has its own specific location, and outsiders will never know this.
The same person who has traveled for many years, he will definitely not have a lot of luggage, that is undoubtedly causing trouble for himself. Luggage cannot be extremely simple. Only those who have suffered can know the true meaning of adequate preparation. Sometimes, it may represent life.
Mr. Hyde uncovered two large boxes from under the bed in the bedroom.
Although he is one of the top rich men in the south of France, the two suitcases and his identity are obviously not the same.
It was a couple of extremely old suitcases, which seemed to be a few years old.
Mr. Hyde has been using these two suitcases when he travels. Although they don’t look very good, these suitcases are quite sturdy and extremely usable. What’s more, they are waterproof. Once, thanks to With these two suitcases, he was able to recover a life from a flood.
Mr. Hyde wiped the suitcase clean. It was useless for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust on the suitcase.
Clothing and travel equipment are already neatly placed on the bed.
Mr. Hyde put them one by one in a specific location inside the suitcase.
As for Eckert, he doesn't have any luggage to pack, he still has a lot of work, and he is busy with work.
Eckert is different from Mr. Hyde. He is not a traveler and he rarely travels.
If he needs to go out, he doesn't know what needs to be prepared. Anyway, he must go to a big city.
And as long as there is money in big cities, you can buy everything.
Therefore, there is no need to prepare luggage, just bring enough money.
This whole day, he must do all the preparations. Tomorrow will be the beginning of everything, but it is also likely to be the end of everything.
Either Mr. Hyde or he has bet everything on the gaming table.
In fact, ordinary scams, those who plan them, don't need to show their faces and come to the stage.
However, this time is completely different. This time the plan is too large, and the small characters will not work at all. If you want to succeed, they must come forward.
This is a big bet.
Once they lose, everything they have in France is over. At that time, he could only go into exile to Yi Lei.
As for the head, he must choose Xibai or Yingge. For him, Yi Lei has too many things he doesn't want to remember.
Among Mr. Hyde’s manor, if you say the most leisurely person, you have to be Kyle.
Back to his dark and gloomy room, Kierle released a few homing pigeons from the window, even if everything was done.
In a few months, the helpers will come to him by themselves.
What's more, calling a helper is the head.
For Kyle, he doesn't need a helper except for lunatics. Those people will only do bad things for him.
Not what the head means, he also understands that the head must have a lot of work for them to do.
For a killer like Kellle, traveling doesn’t require any luggage. For a wise killer like him, his daily survival needs have already been reduced to the point where ordinary people can’t imagine. Luggage tells them. , Are all meaningless furnishings.
All the things the killer needs are carried on the body within reach.
Time passed bit by bit, Eckert was still setting up everything, and it seemed that he didn't need to sleep tonight.
As for Ruibo, he is immersed in the joy of magic experiments, although these so-called magic experiments are just tossing about the few cold goats.
Mr. Butler is indeed very dedicated. He bought seven or eight goats, both male and female.
Ribo is of course extremely happy to have so many experimental crystals.
All afternoon, he was soaking in those goat piles.
Those poor goats have brought rich results to Ruibo. In fact, he is an expert in the use of psychedelic fans.
Presumably, even his teacher, Masek Magician, cannot know so much about the use of this kind of potion.
For example, the speed at which different concentrations of psychedelic powder solutions are absorbed is completely different, which is very similar to the knowledge Kelller once taught him about poisons.
Think about it, too, what magicians study is how to create something unprecedented. As for how to use it, those magicians may not be interested in it.
The killer is a completely different kind of person. He must be extremely familiar with any tool in his opponent, even to the point of absolute proficiency.
Although Ribo is an apprentice of magic, he has never studied for a day with Ms. Marsch. On the contrary, Kyle and Eckert have had an extremely significant influence on him.
Therefore, Ribo's way of thinking about problems is inevitably more consistent with those two.
An afternoon of research has brought him a lot of results.
The two kettles he carried with him contained psychedelic powder solvents blended into different concentrations.
One of them can quickly make a hapless goat fall to the ground with quadriplegia with just a small amount of rubbing.
The potency of this medicine is so obvious that it far surpasses the poisons that Kelller has told him.
Those poisons will take some time to attack, but the psychedelic powder solvent is almost immediate, causing the goat to fall to the ground all at once.
With this thing, self-defense should definitely not be a problem.
The action time of the other solvent is a little longer. I don’t know why. Whether it is adjusted to be thicker or lighter, as long as the ratio is slightly deviated, the effect of the psychedelic powder solvent is difficult to achieve like the first bottle. Quick and effective, which makes Ruibo regret.
However, there is no way for this. The other one is much thinner. It is used to relieve pain. Mr. Hyde once mentioned that this medicine is very effective in this regard.
In order to test, Ruibo even slightly scratched a scar on his arm. The medicine was indeed quite effective, and he didn't feel pain at all.
Furthermore, that feeling, like Mr. Hyde said, is really comfortable.
Although Ruibo is absolutely certain that he did not have hallucinations, he is indeed comfortable all over, and the feeling of happiness is absolutely indescribable.
In the past, Ruibo once thought that—a delicious meal is already a superb enjoyment that the world can get.
However, he only now knows that as long as a drop of psychedelic powder solvent, as long as a small drop, you will forget the temptation of any food on you, because that can't be the same.
The happy time is always short. When Ruibo gradually wakes up, his first thought is to open the bottle cap and drop another drop of solvent on his arm.
Fortunately, Mr. Hyde's warning jumped out of his mind at this time.
Ribbo restrained his impulse and suppressed the strong Yu Wang. He tightly plugged the lid of the bottle with a trembling hand.
Now, Ruibo finally understands why Mr. Hyde once said that psychedelic powder solvent is an extremely dangerous potion. Indeed, this kind of thing can easily destroy a person.
The illusory sense of happiness is undoubtedly full of irresistible temptation for the biological narrative of human beings.
Fortunately, I just had to experiment a little bit earlier, and fortunately, I diluted the concentration of the solvent to a very low concentration.
Otherwise...
