Chapter 07: Infiltrating the Castle

In the battle in front of the tavern, no one except Arthur and his soldiers would have thought that this would end.

Only twenty soldiers defeated more than 200 guards of Count Milne, and captured his sixth-level guard captain Luzak alive.

Now all the residents of Nuel Town recognized the power of their new lords, and the passionate young men couldn't help but bow to Arthur's feet and swear to follow their lords to death.

The soldiers captured fifty or sixty guards of Count Milne, tied up a large area in front of the tavern, and more than a dozen injured and undead people were still lying on the ground and wailing.

"Captain, what should we do next? Will we wait?" Jose asked Arthur for instructions.

"It's useless to keep Onitans and the captain of the guards. Let the others leave them all, let them carry all the dead and injured back. In addition, let them bring a message to Milne. The compensation for 2,063 gold coins that I had previously confiscated from my territory and 1,000 gold coins in this incident will be given to me within half a day. You can take his son and captain of the guards away, otherwise let him bring people to collect their bodies!" Arthur said extremely tough.

Jose took the order directly and went to do it.

The worries on Mayor Lajin's face became even heavier, and he kept muttering, "I'm having trouble now, I'm in trouble now..."

Arthur smiled and said to Larkin: "If someone intends to bully you, you can't hide it. The more you retreat, the more you bully you, the more you will be! In this case, you must beat him back so that he knows that you are not something he can afford. Even if he can't beat the other party, he will smash his teeth and let the other party know that even if he can swallow you, he will have to pay a huge price, so that he will consider whether to continue bullying you!"

Arthur's reasoning made Larkin stunned. He had never thought about the problem from this perspective before.

Larkin knew that Arthur's set of rules of conduct was completely a mercenary, and was not the common way of laughter among nobles, intrigue, and playing tricks behind their backs.

Arthur continued to persuade Larkin, "Don't worry, this matter will not involve you and the residents of the town. If this Earl Milne really has a genitals, he will bring people to fight again. If he can't beat his territory, I won't give it to him directly. If he doesn't have a genitals, he will obediently bring compensation and never dare to mess with Nuel Town again."

Things were as Arthur expected. When it was getting darker, the town came again with a tricycle wildebeest, and a slightly fat old housekeeper brought only two guards.

The old butler smiled and apologized after entering the tavern. He said that he had a misunderstanding before and did not mention the fact that several parties were beaten and killed. Of course, Arthur asked for more than one gold coins.

The old housekeeper's style is the real aristocratic style. If you lose, you must recognize it, and you must also lose with grace.

Naturally, Arthur would not be embarrassed by him. After receiving the gold coins, he released him directly. He just said, "Will the third young master come to the town to play again?" Onetans was so angry that he vomited blood again.

The anger was made, the money was made, the Earl Milne was also afraid, and the clouds of the day were dispersed, and the matter was over happily!

Only fools think so?

Earl Milne may have been really scared by Arthur's fierce means this time and chose to give in for the time being, but this matter will never be let go! As a nobleman, after suffering such great humiliation, he will try his best to retaliate. If it is not easy, it will be dark and sinister. Arthur knows too much about the dirty means of these nobles.

If Arthur was in the territory for a long time, he might still be able to fight him, but Arthur could not stay here for a long time. He would return to Xueyao Academy before the end of the year and would never leave a hidden danger for himself before going back.

After the old butler of the Milne family left, Arthur returned to the town office surrounded by everyone, and went back to the room to rest on the pretext of working hard for a day.

Arthur entered the room, then came out of the window, and quickly left the town under the cover of the night.

After distinguishing the direction, Arthur chased all the way east. He had already planted dark magic marks on the old housekeeper in secret. As long as the direction was right, he could successfully chase to Milne's Earl's Mansion with "Dark Perception".

The city of Colorland, where the Earl's Mansion of Milne is located, is an inland town with less than 10,000 people. It is even less than twenty miles away from the town of Nuel.

Arthur walked all the way and rushed outside Colorland at night.

These inland towns were quiet for a long time. Although the city was closed at night, the city defense was useless. Arthur easily climbed up the city wall. From the wall, you could see the huge castle in the city with lights still on.

In the eyes of real great nobles, Earl Milne was only a small noble in the countryside, but in terms of means of making money and the luxury of life, it was no less than that of the great nobles in the royal city, and the scale of the castle was even less than that of the marquis.

The Earl Milne's Mansion is an ancient Gothic castle building. There are also city walls outside the castle. The guards on the city walls are much more tighter than those in Colorland.

Even so, the vigilance of these guards was more than a little worse than the wartime army. Arthur unfolded the "Shadow Sneak" and successfully climbed into the castle, avoiding the main entrance of the castle, and crawled in through an open window on the three floors.

There are countless rooms in this old-fashioned castle. If outsiders come in, they will get lost, let alone find a target.

The dark marks Arthur planted on the old housekeeper before played a role at this time. According to the habits of the nobles, the close-fitting housekeeper's bedroom must not be too far from the master's bedroom.

Following the dark marks, passing through the intricate corridors, and climbing up two stairs, Arthur came to a room at the end of the corridor.

The thick golden nanmu wooden door in the room was closed tightly, and a faint light came from the keyhole. It seemed that the people in the room were not asleep yet.

The sound insulation of the room is very good. I can't hear the sound of talking in the room, but I can't hear clearly what is being said.

When Arthur was about to use "dark corrosion" to make a hole in the door, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.

Arthur turned his body and hid behind the huge vase next to the door.

As footsteps approached, a young maid walked to the door with a silver tray, which contained crystal wine pots and several golden plates of food.

The maid knocked on the door gently, was allowed to enter the room, put down the wine and food, and then retreated respectfully.

The maid turned around and left, but did not notice that the door that was supposed to be brought with her again was not completely closed because there was a silver coin stuck in the middle.

The light and the sound of speaking came out from the crack of the door.
