Chapter 141 Witch
Two soldiers, holding loaded muskets, walked carefully to Barnett's body, and one of them kicked the body.
After seeing no response, they squatted down, carefully checked the wizard's body, and made a safe gesture to the back.
Paul and others were completely relieved.
"Hurry up and treat the wounded!" Paul ordered loudly, and sent people on horseback to rush to Port Fulan, and asked the town to send carriages and doctors to rush over instantly.
The soldiers scattered to check the injuries of their companions who fell to the ground.
After confirmation, 15 soldiers in the first team had died, and the rest were seriously injured and temporarily lost their ability to move.
The captain of the guard, Victor, was very lucky. He fainted after being kicked by the wizard, but he was still breathing, and several ribs might have been broken.
Ladi came to Barnett's body and said in a barely audible voice: "Same kind? Compatriot? That's just your own wishful thinking."
The blood had dyed the ground under the body red, and the intestines were also spilled out in a large pool, the scene was extremely disgusting.
She squatted down, carefully observed Barnett's wound, and touched his skin with her hand.
"This feeling...well, it is indeed [Stone Skin Technique]. It is really not easy to bring the effect of [Stone Skin Technique] to such an extreme."
She was secretly shocked by the huge power of the musket. Such a perverted defense was easily broken by the bullet. This wizard did not dodge or evade and directly resisted Victor's full-strength sword. She saw it clearly.
From the several large holes on Barnett's back, several bullets directly penetrated his body. The Earl really made an incredible weapon.
She felt someone approaching from behind, stood up and looked back. It was Earl Graman.
Paul looked solemn and said slowly: "First of all, I thank you for saving my life and my men's lives. Without the 'hood' you made to buy time, I'm afraid we would have been killed by the 'wizard'."
Lady's heart was slightly lifted, and the other party's words contained a clear sense of distance.
Sure enough, Paul changed the subject, "But, shouldn't you explain something to me? Miss Scholar!"
"My Lord Earl, I..." The female consultant hesitated.
Paul waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is not the place to talk. I will talk to you in detail after arriving at Port Fulan."
The female consultant lowered her head, "Yes, my Lord Earl."
More than an hour later, the convoy galloping from Port Fulan arrived. After loading the bodies of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers onto the carriage, everyone continued to set off for Port Fulan.
There were also some wounded with injured ribs, such as Victor, who could only be carried slowly to Port Fulan on stretchers.
Paul issued a gag order to all the soldiers present, and not to tell anyone what happened today, because it involved wizards and magic, and he was afraid that the church would intervene.
The soldiers who were selected to enter the internal security system were absolutely loyal to the Graman family, so Paul trusted them very much. Even if many people had guessed the true identity of the consultant, they would keep silent.
…
After arriving at Fulan Port, Paul exchanged a few polite words with the mayor and others who came out to greet him, and then went straight to the Navy Headquarters.
After arriving at the heavily guarded naval base, he really relaxed, and then summoned the Navy Commander Austin alone.
After confirming that there were only two of them in the room, Paul spoke.
"Austin, do you know what happened to me on the road? It's incredible! It's terrible!"
Austin had learned that Paul came with a large number of wounded this time, and he had guessed what happened on the road.
"Lord Graman, are you okay? Have all the assassins been caught? Or are they dead or have they escaped?"
"We shot him to death with a musket, and I took his body to Port Fulan."
"Dead? What a pity, we can't interrogate if there are any accomplices lurking in secret. Wait, him? Alone?"
The internal security forces are not vegetarians, how could one person cause so many casualties?
Paul said solemnly: "Austin, you are not allowed to tell anyone what I am going to say next!"
"Yes, Lord Graman!"
"Swear!"
"I swear on my personality that I will obey your orders!"
Austin swore on his personality with a serious expression. After being together for such a long time, he knew that Paul was not interested in gods and the like.
Paul whispered: "The person who attacked us was a 'wizard'. He walked up to us so brazenly and killed and injured so many people."
Then he described the whole incident in detail.
"This... this is really shocking!"
Although he was a little dumbfounded, the Navy Commander had not yet reached the point where his worldview collapsed like Paul had before.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
For the legendary group of wizards, Austin has always been more willing to believe it than not, and now it has been confirmed by the Earl himself.
He said: "Lord Graman, there is no need to panic too much. According to your description, they can still be killed by muskets."
"Yes, yes! You are right, we must equip all soldiers with muskets. After returning to Lake Heart Town, I will start to expand the scale of the arsenal."
"Next time I meet this kind of lunatic, I will beat him into a sieve."
Paul was still in shock. If he hadn't had the musket, he would have definitely died on the way.
"So, how do you plan to deal with Miss Ladi?"
From Paul's description of her, this beautiful and intellectual female consultant must be a wizard. Will the count send her to the church for disposal? That would be a pity.
Paul said, "Please call the consultant here for me. I have something to ask her."
Austin stood up, "Yes, sir. But please allow me to be presumptuous. Miss Ladi saved your life and the lives of many brothers after all. You must think twice before you act."
Paul nodded and said, "Don't worry, Austin. I, Paul Graman, am definitely not an ungrateful person."
Austin went out for a while and soon came back with the female consultant.
He said, "Well, I'll take my leave first."
"Okay - no, Austin, you stay and listen. Miss Ladi, please sit down too."
After both of them sat down, Paul calmed down and turned to the female consultant, trying to ask in a calm tone: "Miss Ladi, do you have anything to say to me?"
The female consultant met his gaze and answered, "Lord Graman, as you have confirmed in your heart, I am indeed a wizard. Of course, people like us prefer to call ourselves wizards."
Her face was slightly red, and there was a little guilt in her tone: "I'm sorry that I hid this identity from you. But please rest assured that I didn't lie before, and I am indeed a scholar."
"So, what do you decide to do with me now?"
