Chapter 473 Johnny
Master O'Donnell slowly stood up from the ground and patted his clothes.
His expression has returned to calmness and is no longer as ferocious as when he cast the spell just now.
"In the garden behind the mansion, there is a camouflaged rockery. If you move a turtle shell-shaped stone ornament on the rockery, you can open a passage to the underground. Our target is underneath."
Dessen and Andy looked at each other.
"I'll inform them!"
He hurriedly ran outside. After such a long time, the target must not be killed by the smoke.
O'Donnell told Andy who stayed behind: "Clean up this place, especially this magic circle. Don't leave any traces. As for this person..."
He glanced at Master Somoret, who was still lying on the ground.
"Throw him outside into the fire."
"Yes, Master."
Andy nodded in response.
…
Half an hour later, in the back garden of the Somoret family mansion, which had been burned to ashes, a blackened rockery stood alone.
After a few rumbles, a one-meter-square floor tile moved away, and the dark entrance appeared in front of everyone.
Under the command of Valdes, the people in black robes entered the tunnel.
There is good ventilation inside, so the smoke from the fire also poured in, making it very choking along the way.
Hope the target is okay - Valdez prayed.
This is not a maze, there is only a straight path, and it should be used simply for temporary escape.
Finally they came to the end, a stone room about twenty square meters in size.
There is nothing else in the room except candles for lighting, so you can see at a glance.
In the corner, the people in black robes found the target of this operation.
A man dressed as a servant lay on the ground, clutching his chest and motionless. It looked like he had been dead for a long time.
Next to the slave's corpse, a boy who was younger than Andy, the little mage who stayed outside, was looking at them with great vigilance.
He bent over and covered his mouth and nose with his left arm, while his right hand held a candlestick that was still dripping with blood. The sharp spikes of the candlestick shone with a cold light.
The young man's eyes were sharp, like a young leopard trying to hunt alone for the first time.
Valdes waved his hand to signal his partners not to act rashly.
"I'll do it!"
Carol, the only woman in the team, suggested.
Valdes nodded.
Carol crossed Valdes and slowly approached the boy.
"Who are you?"
The boy asked aloud, and the fear and nervousness in his heart could be heard from his tone.
Carol slowly took off her pocket, revealed her face, and said softly: "Child, don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
The woman's beautiful face and gentle words lowered the boy's wariness.
He stood up straight, though he still held the candlestick in his hand.
"The person who saved me? Heavenly Father! What happened? First, a group of people said they wanted to take me to live a rich life. When my parents didn't agree, they killed my parents and kidnapped me to this inexplicable place. place, and then you come out and say you are coming to save me, should I believe you? "
As he spoke, he actually started crying. During this period of time, the young man encountered drastic changes in his life and suffered too much mental pressure.
Carol took advantage of his unpreparedness, stepped forward, snatched the candlestick and threw it to the ground, and then hugged the young man in her arms without any explanation.
The young man struggled a few times, but in the end he was still too weak and stopped.
Carol said: "I know you are in great pain now. Please give us some time to prove ourselves. But first we must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. I assure you that your body is safe now and in the future - —The person who kidnapped you has been killed by us."
Valdes waved his hand, "It's getting late, let's leave here before dawn."
A group of people took the boy back to the ground and followed a safe passage through the flames to the woods outside the town, where six carriages were waiting for them quietly.
Carol and the boy rode in the same carriage.
After the carriage left Hesha Town, she asked: "What is your name?"
"Jonny, Jonny Landry."
"Kid, did you kill that man in the basement?"
"Uh...yes." The boy named Jonny lowered his head, his expression seemed to be both fear and fear that he had done something wrong.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"When the fire first started, he dragged me to the basement. Later, when he heard some movement above, he held a dagger and shouted desperately that everything was over, and said he was going to send me on my way. Fortunately, I was prepared. After entering the basement, I casually touched a candlestick and hid it in my clothes, and then when he wasn't prepared - he thought I wouldn't resist - I stabbed the tip of the candlestick into his chest, and then you guys showed up. "
Carol smiled and stroked his head, "You did a good job. You should be so merciless to the bad guys. Your relative will be proud of you."
Jonny raised his head in confusion: "Which of my relatives?"
"You will know when we arrive at our destination, and we will explain everything to you."
As the carriage bumped, young Jonny fell into a deep sleep amid doubts. He was too tired from the ups and downs of life.
Valdes, who was riding in the same carriage, said with emotion: "At such a young age, he is so ruthless in the face of danger... or decisive. Should we say that he is worthy of the blood of the Griffin family?"
"I hope he can be a helper to your highness instead of a threat."
A cold light flashed in Valdes' eyes.
...
The residents of Shahe Town worked all night, and at dawn, they finally put out the fire in the southwest corner of the town.
People walked into the disaster area and were all saddened by the tragic situation here.
All the buildings had been burned to ashes, and there were many corpses on the streets, either dying from severe burns or suffocating from the smoke and dust produced by the fire.
In fact, there were more people who had turned into ashes.
The residents of the town were basically related, and there were cries everywhere.
The largest building complex in this area was the mansion of the Somolet family. At this time, the once magnificent and luxurious mansion had also turned into a scorched earth.
What was even more terrifying was that in the courtyard in front of the mansion, people found the ashes of many people near the original fountain.
They might have wanted to escape the fire, but the flames eventually spread here.
"Master! Ah! Master!"
A man cried in grief, and someone noticed that it was the servant of the mayor's family.
He was crying loudly on a body that was not turned into ashes but was burned beyond recognition.
The servant recognized his master by the gold ornaments on the body.
There were several bodies lying scattered beside the mayor's body. These should be the people who rushed into the fire with the mayor at that time.
The whole Hesha Town was shrouded in great grief.
