Chapter 125 "You want me to exchange my wife's soul for my eldest son's wife?"
Bell wanted to watch the fun, but he felt a little regretful when he thought he had to wait until the next day to see it.
"We should look forward to the next day." In the reading room, Tuttle rubbed his head with a headache, "Are we going tonight?"
He glanced at Hedda and Amy who were munching on snacks, and Mullin who said indifferently that she was fine with anything. The only reliable one, Bell, was grabbing Lynch's ear and whispering something in his ear.
Are he and Edith the only ones in the room who care about their plans for the evening?
"Everyone is so relaxed because we're leaving soon." Bell looked up at Tuttle. "A month in advance, we have time to make plans for our escape. A week in advance, we can only make simple plans for exploration. Two hours in advance, we can only leave it to fate."
It’s better to relax now, maybe you can perform better later.
"Let's go tonight." Edith lowered her head and kept recording in the notebook, "Joe is injured. The Rodney family's attention is all on the heir and they have no time to pay attention to us. The same goes for Duke Eddie. He just happens to be stupid recently. I don't know if he will be cured in two weeks."
There is a third reason - the Rodney family is now in a state of anxiety and has no time to care about the severed hand. Once Qiao's new limb grows back and they have no worries, they may get to the bottom of this matter.
Hedda: “Just do it!”
Amy: “Support!”
Lynch: "I need to go back to the dormitory to get my sword."
Tuttle: "..."
It seems that he is the only one who likes to make plans.
Mu Lin crossed her hands under the table, looking a little uneasy. "I'm a little scared," she said frankly, "but I have to go. Someone chased my parents to the pub before, and I want to find out what happened."
"So do I." Tuttle knocked on the table, imitating Edith's example. "I'm curious about what happened that made my parents carefully bind a medical record to this day."
"Then disband now."
Edith glanced at the time, looked up and looked around: "Tonight at 1 a.m., after the dormitory manager completes his night patrol, everyone will gather at the back of the college."
......
a little.
The dormitory manager went to bed very early tonight.
Maybe because things have been safe recently, the dormitory manager was in a much more relaxed state of mind. He finished the last round of inspections just before twelve o'clock and returned to his dormitory comfortably.
Edith created a few phantoms in the dormitory, and when looking through the curtains they looked like people, which was enough to last for a while.
"Hopefully I'll be back before seven," Hedda muttered, "I have a full schedule tomorrow."
Edith successfully climbed out of the window, and Bell jumped directly down, and the two of them caught Hedda and Mulin below.
"You are so skilled." Heda stood below, looking up at the height of the dormitory windows with lingering fear.
"After all, it's been turned over a lot."
The four of them walked in the schoolyard with their backs bent, and had to be on guard against the patrolling teachers who would pop out from time to time. A flash of light came, and Edith quickly fell to the ground, rolling sideways into the bushes, while the remaining three quickly retreated and hid behind the pillars of the teaching area, barely dodging.
“Who’s there!”
A scolding voice suddenly came, and Edith subconsciously dodged down. Suddenly she realized that the voice did not come from her side, but from farther behind, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The patrol teacher who was very close to them also pointed the light of his wand in the direction where the sound came from.
Edith raised her head slightly, her eyes lingering. Hedda's cufflinks just happened to brush against the light flashed by the inspector, reflecting a bright white light.
No! There is reflection!
Bell quickly reached out to cover it, but the teacher still noticed something was wrong and was obviously startled, letting out a shrill scream: "Who's there!"
"run!"
Edith shouted at the bottom of her voice, deliberately making a loud noise to make the panicked teacher even more panicked: "There are people here too?!"
Heda and the others quickly escaped from behind the pillars where they had been hiding, and ran towards the hill behind the academy. Edith circled the flowerbed twice, eventually leaving her teacher behind and catching up with her friend who was running with her back bent.
"How long until one o'clock?" Hedda asked in a whisper.
"Seven minutes. At my current speed, it will take about five minutes." Bell looked down at the time. "I have to hurry up. I don't want to be laughed at for being late."
“What’s that sound!”
The dense and complicated footsteps surrounded from all directions, and the footsteps were hurried. From time to time, you could hear the howling of several people bumping into each other. Edith looked around, accelerated slightly, rushed to a place parallel to Bell, raised her hand, put it on the other's head and pressed down.
A ray of white light just passed over Bell's head.
"Damn it." Bell, hiding in the shadows with his neck shrunk, cursed, "People are not allowed to grow taller!"
"Let's go to the material warehouse in the back hill." Edith made a prompt decision. "There's a flower bed there that hasn't been repaired much."
At this time, on the other side.
Lin Qi's long sword really hindered their movements. After being discovered by the patrolling teacher, several people fled quickly, but they could not get rid of the people behind them.
"Why do I feel like there are more and more people chasing me!" Tattle deliberately didn't wear a robe, but it was still difficult to walk around them. He turned his head, listened to the footsteps gradually approaching, and reached back to pull up Lynch who was about to fall.
"Not only at the back, I feel like there are people in the front too." Amy licked her lips excitedly, "I remember there was a house storing materials in front of the back mountain!" There seemed to be some dense bushes behind the building.
"Just go there," Tuttle confirmed.
Several people climbed over the wall and climbed the tree, and finally arrived in front of the house Amy mentioned before one o'clock. There was indeed a weedy flower bed there, and a slanting dense tree extended its branches outward from the middle, and the hanging vines and bushes were entangled together, like a natural cage.
"Jump!"
The three of them avoided the last ray of light and jumped into the bushes. Sharp branches scratched their bodies and many crisp leaves fell, making a rustling sound under their bodies.
"Jump!"
At Edith's command, the four people who had climbed up the tree along the vines jumped down together with their eyes closed. Their clothes were torn by the overlapping branches and were eventually buried by the fallen leaves.
Heda felt the branch poking at his eyelids, and dared not open his eyes. He just cried and moved to the side.
She felt something cold.
"Damn it!"
“I’m going to die!”
She and Lynch shouted at the same time, turned their heads to the middle and looked at each other.
Heda silently withdrew his hand from Lynch's sword.
Amy raised her eyebrows and looked at Edith and the others squatting in the dirt, also covered in dust: "Hi."
Edith: “…”
What a coincidence.
Above their heads, the two groups of patrolling teachers finally met. Two beams of white light merged together, illuminating the shadows on the opposite side.
It was too dark, and the wand light was too dim, so they could only see that there was a person on the other side. The two teams chasing each other didn't even know the identity, and they all shouted and took out their wands.
“Got it!”
All of a sudden, countless red, white, and yellow lights flashed across the sky; the sounds of explosions and screams of various colors mixed together, perfectly covering up all other sounds.
Edith and others took advantage of this time to sneak away.
"They are completely immersed in the joy of fighting." Before climbing over the last wall, Amy looked back at the illuminated half of the sky and said with emotion.
"You should now hope that no one asks for a dormitory inspection." Edith didn't even raise her head, she pushed herself up with her hands and jumped down.
Tuttle shook his head: "I definitely don't dare to check. We have just checked it twice not long ago. If we check it again, the security of Boyunis College will really be in doubt." That would be a very serious matter.
The six people stood in the shadow of the corner, Amy stepped on Lynch's shoulders, and tried to repair the protective magic circle they had just destroyed.
"Okay, let's go." He put away his wand in a cool manner. Edith also activated the teleportation array she had drawn in advance and stood in the center of the light.
"Where does this lead to?" Tuttle didn't expect Edith to have prepared this thing.
"The one I drew during the promotion tournament."
......
When they opened their eyes again, they were already standing inside the cave, the enclosed space where Joe had trapped them.
"I felt quite desperate the last time I came here, but this time I actually feel a little nostalgic." Tuttle touched the stone wall and suddenly frowned, "...Wait, why is it hot?"
Heda also touched it: "No."
"That's definitely not right." Edith touched it cautiously. "Although it's not hot, it's about the same as the surface of the body. The stone walls underground should be bone-chillingly cold."
"Someone had a fire built along the stone wall outside."
......
"Sir, why are you awake?"
Duke Eddie got up from the bed, holding his head. The butler beside him came forward and stuffed a pillow behind his waist, "Do you need some water?"
Duke Eddie: “…”
He held his breath and stretched out his hand, adjusting the position of the pillow behind him: "Water."
The butler went to prepare in a hurry.
If the number of people that could be brought here wasn't limited...he wouldn't have allowed someone who was so extremely unprofessional in both words and actions to serve him.
The butler came back with the water and handed it directly to his mouth. As soon as Duke Eddie's brows relaxed, he was scalded by the heat: "Get out, take it away!"
The housekeeper was so frightened that he poured the whole glass of water onto the quilt.
Duke Eddie no longer had the energy to accuse. He didn't want to waste this rare moment of clarity, so he tiredly moved to the side and closed his eyes: "How is Mapel?"
"Madam slept most of the time. She woke up for six minutes an hour ago and cried out in pain twice. She spent the rest of the time cursing Edith." The housekeeper looked at the record book and said, "But Madam still can't move at all."
"It's normal that she can't move. After all, her body is already in a dying state." Duke Eddie glanced at the butler and motioned him to press his head. "Next time she wakes up, tell her to save her energy. I will find a new and suitable body."
"The one at Celeste's won't suit her."
The butler agreed immediately and tilted his head with some curiosity: "Who do you plan to choose, Your Excellency?"
“Not sure yet.”
"Nowadays, the status of mages is getting higher and higher, and it's hard to find nobles who are talented but not valued. I originally had my eyes on the eldest daughter of the Turner family, but I didn't expect that she would be stuffed into the academy by that old man. It's not appropriate to marry her now."
Duke Eddie leaned on the pillow, nodding his head, almost falling asleep: "...The scope of civilian screening is too large and more difficult to contact. I am still selecting, so tell her not to worry."
Edith is a bit too conspicuous... Moulin was good, but she wasted a good opportunity before and it's difficult to start again now.
"Then...what about Lin?" the butler asked tentatively.
Duke Eddie opened his eyes, his eyes full of anger at this absurd proposal.
"You want me to exchange my wife's soul for my eldest son's wife?"
