Chapter 35: The most important thing for a family is to work together...
The guard had hurried in to deliver the news, never realizing the eldest daughter of the Samantha family was already inside the palace. He didn't even notice the collar of his shirt was being tugged at, twisting it into shape. He trembled as he replied to Miss Fanny, "I'm sorry, but your brother, Master Gallop Samantha, has disappeared from the family garden this morning."
Fanny's face drained of color. Her brother was only five years old, innocent and adorable, completely defenseless. Where were his guards? Those damned bastards usually get paid so much, but are they just there to eat for nothing?
Now that everyone was in the hands of the black witch, there was no chance her lovely brother would ever return. Fanny closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were filled with ferocity. From now on, she would definitely eliminate all the black witches in the world.
"It's all the fault of those useless guys before. If they hadn't caught all those black witches in one fell swoop, this wouldn't have happened." Fanny said gritting her teeth.
"Enough! Shut up." The queen's face looked extremely ugly. She had not expected that the situation would develop into such a serious situation.
Gallup was the only male in Samantha's family. If anything happened to him, the future of Samantha's family would be in the hands of this self-righteous and foolish niece. The Queen's eyes went dark. Even more hateful, this incident was caused by her, yet she showed no guilt at all, and was still obsessed with catching the black witch.
Fanny rarely saw her aunt get angry with her. The proud daughter of the Rose Empire, who had always looked down on others, didn't dare to breathe a word at this moment, but she didn't know what she had said wrong.
At this moment, another guard hurried in, knelt at the queen's feet and whispered, "Your Majesty, please come over."
Upon hearing this, the queen immediately stood up and began to walk. To rescue Gallop, she had no choice but to seek the help of the Grand Magisters. Those self-righteous old men wouldn't give her face. Even if the king didn't come to her, she would still go and ask for his help.
Seeing the queen leave, Fanny couldn't help but get excited. "Your Majesty, how dare those black witches act so arrogantly! This is definitely a provocation to the Rose Empire! You can't be soft-hearted towards them, or Gallup's sacrifice will be in vain."
Gallup isn't dead yet! The queen suppressed the urge to curse, not wanting to waste any more time talking to this niece whose cerebral cortex was so smooth it had no wrinkles.
The queen did not stop, nor did she pay attention to Fanny's noise. She looked at the beautiful vase with disgust and didn't even want to look at it again. She directly ordered the servants around her to take the person away.
"Send Fanny Samantha home. During this period, she is not allowed to leave the house without my order."

Shen Jiang came to another world again, and this time the person who came to pick her up was Beatrice.
Of course, Beatrice didn't recognize her at all.
Shen Jiang specially went back and bought a wig that was so lifelike that her hair looked fake. Her shiny black hair was now transformed into bold platinum-blond wavy curls. With the help of gray-blue contact lenses and makeup, she looked completely different from her original gentle and cute appearance.
Now she had a cold temperament and a more aggressive beauty. No one would associate her with a dark witch. If she weren't wearing the clothes Catherine lent her, she would look more like a daughter of an aristocratic family.
Shen Jiang reached out and patted Beatrice's shoulder, and saw the orc girl looking at her warily.
"Relax, baby, it's me."
Shen Jiang stretched out his claws and rubbed Beatrice's head hard.
It's been a long time since I've felt this way.
Beatrice was stunned, but she was absolutely certain that the person in front of her was indeed the witch, who was the only one who liked to rub her head in this way every time they met.
Start by stroking back and forth, then do a few circles clockwise.
"Mister Witch? How did you become..."
"Shh," Shen Jiang put his finger to his lips, "Didn't you agree to call me Shen Jiang?"
"Oh, yes, Miss Shen Jiang." Beatrice looked annoyed.
The two first returned to their remote home. The cabin was extremely crowded last time, but now it was empty. Except for the two of them, no one else was there. Only Beatrice was reporting the latest situation to Shen Jiang with a serious face.
The city is in chaos right now. The turmoil caused by the witch incident is growing more and more serious. Many children have been abducted and brutally murdered by the black witches, and then thrown into the center of the most conspicuous square in the city. Now, children are almost invisible on the streets. Even adults have begun to fear accidents and have greatly reduced their unnecessary outings.
The city was now divided into two factions. One faction advocated an immediate halt to the witch hunt to prevent more innocent children from being implicated. The other insisted on intensifying the campaign to allow the souls of the deceased children to rest in peace. The two factions engaged in a daily internal struggle, but neither side reached a definitive conclusion, and the campaign continued.
Among them, the nobles headed by the Samantha family were the ones who insisted on clearing out the evil.
"I heard that the next generation of Samantha's family is the first group of children to be killed by the black witches." Beatrice's eyes were filled with pity. "His biological sister must be the magician who escaped from you. It is said that she did all this to obtain the black dragon. All this is because of her, and now people all over the country are complaining about her."
"I didn't expect things to develop to this point," Shen Jiang's face was heavy. This was a bloody case caused by her, and so far, countless black witches and innocent children have been implicated.
"Fortunately, our progress is going extremely smoothly. After you left last time, Mom and Catherine pretended to be mother and daughter and went to the city to recruit workers. I asked a robin to guide them, and now they have successfully entered the manor to work as helpers."
This was all thanks to the sudden increase in a large number of magical creatures and guards in the manor. The original servants in the manor were simply overwhelmed. Not only were meals repeatedly postponed, but feces were often not cleaned up in time. Even the robins said that the smell there made it difficult for the birds to breathe. Beatrice fed them a lot of insects as a comfort, and then the robins' complaints turned into a pleasant delivery of messages.
As for his brother Ellis, he only said that he had successfully met up with their mother and the others through his own methods and had ensured that they were safe at the manor. The rest was secretly told to Beatrice by the robin, and only then did she know what his method was.
"In any case, now is the best opportunity to take action." Beatrice said in a firm tone, pretending to be mature and imitating her brother's speech.
Shen Jiang was attracted by her cute and adorable appearance and couldn't help but touch her head again. Beatrice's hair was very soft and the amazing amount of fluffy hair made Shen Jiang unable to stop.
"Indeed, the focus now is no longer on catching me, but on the confrontation between the imperial forces and the dark witches. Where is Ellis now? I'd better be able to sneak in with him without anyone noticing."
Beatrice had always believed that the witch was omnipotent. She could concoct magical potions to save lives and even perform fire magic. So she had always believed that the witch would enter the manor openly, rather than sneaking in like her brother.
She stammered, "You are of noble status, how can you be like Ellis?"
Unable to withstand Shen Jiang's repeated questioning, she finally told the truth: "Actually... my brother is now a dung collector in that manor."
Shen Jiang hadn't expected Ellis to be able to do this, to be so calm and humble. This made her look at him with a new respect. With such perseverance, he would succeed in everything he did. However, she didn't know if the big boy who loved to laugh could still laugh now.
This is a good way to sneak in. The guards probably would never have thought that someone would dare to appear under their noses so blatantly.
He could not only approach the big-eared deer openly, but also create a psychological blind spot for the guards, causing them to subconsciously lower their guard against him.
Shen Jiang didn't mind following Ellis's method at all, but unfortunately she had a rather conspicuous blonde and blue-eyed look today. For a young woman with a pretty appearance to be a dung collector was no different from trying to cover up one's own faults.
"Then we'll proceed as planned. We'll first find Ellis and have him find a way to get the potion in."
Shen Jiang was not idle during the time they were acting. This time when she came to the other world, she brought a lot of potions that she made herself.
The two dragon scales were her confidence. Besides that, she also wanted to see if these so-called ordinary herbs without magical energy could have any effect on the magicians from another world.
The piece of black dragon scale that had begun to become translucent was no different from 1% battery power. It must not be taken out unless it was absolutely necessary. It could only be used when a hit was certain. Otherwise, the little remaining dragon flame would not only completely expose her identity and bring disaster to her, but would not be able to save her life at all.
The silver dragon scale could ensure that she still had a way to retreat, but Shen Jiang was not sure whether the silver dragon scale could escape with so many people including Ellis, and he did not dare to experiment with the precious dragon scale easily, so Shen Jiang strictly forbade Catherine and Ellis and others to take action privately in advance.
She must be the one to face off.
Anyway, if she can't win, she can still run away.
Now that Catherine and the others have successfully become cooks in the manor, things are much simpler.
After hiring a carriage in town for half a sack of white flour, Shen Jiang and the orc girl, wearing a loose robe and a hat covering her head, boarded a carriage headed north of the city. The carriage resembled a Victorian-era open-air carriage, its massive wheels, taller than a person, particularly striking. The driver sat in the front, and in the back were symmetrical seats large enough for four people.
Even though this carriage was much plainer than the others in the dealership, Beatrice was still extremely excited, her eyes darting around curiously as she took in everything on board.
Originally, Shen Jiang hadn't planned to bring Beatrice with her, but the orc girl, with her adorable and innocent face, promised to listen to her.
Thinking of Beatrice's ability to communicate with animals, Shen Jiang decided to bring her along. She might need her to call Ellis out of the manor later. And with Beatrice around, Shen Jiang also avoided the possibility of revealing himself when chatting with the locals.
"We have to hurry up and get there before lunch." Shen Jiang looked at the sun outside, which was slowly rising.
"We should be able to arrive just in time for lunch," Beatrice thought for a moment and blew a whistle toward the sky. Soon, a cuckoo flew over to her and stopped, chirping.
Beatrice chirped back at the bird, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries. After a moment, the cuckoo tied a piece of burlap to its feet and flew away again.
Seeing the witch's inquiring eyes, Beatrice whispered in Shen Jiang's ear, "This is a signal from my brother and me. When he sees the cuckoo with the mark on its foot, he will go wait for us outside the manor."
The carriage was driving along the country road, and dust was flying behind Shen Jiang and the others. Fortunately, there was no carriage in front of them, otherwise, they would be the ones eating the dust.
At this moment, suddenly a group of people on horseback came up from behind.
Shen Jiang glanced casually at the group of people and saw a familiar presence.
It was the fire magician who almost took her life!
The current situation in the Rose Empire where everyone is in danger was caused by this young lady.
Shen Jiang resisted the urge to lower his head, looked around as if nothing had happened, and then turned his head back pretending to enjoy the scenery.
“Stop!”
Unexpectedly, the woman opposite was very perceptive and stopped Shen Jiang's carriage immediately.
Shen Jiang couldn't help but tighten the things in his pocket and turned his head with a stiff neck to look at her.
The driver recognized the rose emblem on these people, an insignia worn only by the imperial nobility. He quickly got out of the carriage, saluted, and asked respectfully, "My dear lady, what may I do for you?"
Unexpectedly, Fanny on the horse didn't even look at the groom who was half-kneeling on the ground. She looked at Shen Jiang with a haughty look on her face: "Who gave you the courage to look me straight in the eyes?"
Beatrice quickly tugged at Shen Jiang's clothes from behind and whispered, "Anyone wearing a rose emblem is either a noble or a member of a high-ranking knight order."
It's too late, Shen Jiang sighed inwardly. She had just made a fool of herself. If she had hurriedly lowered her head, she could have explained it as fear of offending the other party, but unfortunately she ignored the local customs and looked at the majestic and handsome horses and the young knights who exuded vigor with special appreciation.
Shen Jiang didn't dare answer directly, fearing the other party would recognize her voice. She simply pretended to be mute and made a few begging gestures, her face full of fear and anxiety.
Beatrice quickly responded, "I'm sorry, my mistress didn't mean to offend you. She...she was ill as a child, so she's a little different from ordinary people."
"You, take off your hat." Fanny spoke arrogantly again, and her target was Beatrice beside Shen Jiang.
In her eyes, the two people in front of her gave her an indescribable strange feeling.
Beatrice's whole body was stiff, and her trembling hands were unable to take off the hat brim.
"I'm sorry, dear lady. I'm extremely ugly and might scare you."
Fanny lost her patience and the subtle smile on her face disappeared. She gave a look to the person next to her, and that person quickly understood what she meant.
A gust of wind blew over Beatrice's head, blowing her veil off. Beatrice's face flushed with shame, and she wanted to bury her head in the ground, appearing in front of everyone.
After seeing her appearance clearly, the knights all looked at this new little gadget.
"I was wondering why you had to hide it, it turns out to be such an ugly thing. Put on your hat quickly." Fanny looked away with great disgust.
At this moment, Fanny looked at the blonde woman again and finally realized that she was indeed different from ordinary people. She was clearly a fool. But why did the basket at her feet look so familiar? She felt as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Lady Fanny, the Queen is still waiting for you." The man at the front of the knights reminded her in a low voice.
"Let's go." Fanny loosened the reins and rode away.
The other knights had already become impatient. They were used to the arrogant and domineering behavior of Miss Fanny from Samantha's family. Seeing that she was finally willing to move, they immediately clamped their horses' bellies and galloped towards the city without looking back.
In their view, these were just two ordinary civilians, one of whom was a half-orc with animal ears. What was there to worry about?
Fanny muttered to herself, "There are more and more orcs out there now. Perhaps I should suggest to His Majesty the King that we forbid intermarriage between humans and orcs."
Shen Jiang didn't care about following Fanny's horse team and asked Beatrice to urge the coachman to hurry up. They had to reach their relatives' house before lunch time.
Even though their carriages were pulling at full speed, an old horse from an ordinary horse farm could not compare with the purebred BMWs of the nobles, and Fanny's team soon disappeared from their sight.
*
Ellis had been waiting outside the manor long ago, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Mistress Witch.
He had been working as a dung collector at this estate for almost three weeks. As soon as the deer raised their butts, he knew they were about to defecate, and he could even infer their meals from the excrement. He really couldn't wait to finish this horrible job immediately. Thank God, the witch finally came.
Ellis hid in a hidden bush, which was the only intersection from his home to the manor. He kept his eyes fixed on all the passers-by on the road, for fear of missing the figure of the witch.
It was almost time for dinner. Before he came out, he greeted Catherine and asked them to delay the dinner until he came back.
This was something they had planned long ago.
Catherine or Cecilia will infiltrate the enemy first, and when the time is right, Shen Jiang will deliver the potion to them. When everyone in the manor is infected one by one, it will be Shen Jiang's best opportunity to take action.
Ellis couldn't wait to see the witch go on a killing spree. The termites in the manor had been bullying him these days because they relied on the witch's power. There was no entertainment in the manor, and those extremely bored guards made fun of him every day. If he hadn't smelled so bad, his identity as a half-orc would have been exposed long ago.
Here we come!
Ellis's spirits lifted.
The two young women in the carriage were so conspicuous that Ellis noticed them at first sight. Although one of the ladies looked different from the witch, he recognized the clothes she was wearing that belonged to Catherine.
So, the thin figure wearing a wide veiled hat sitting next to the witch is Beatrice?
Why did she come here instead of staying at home? He saw that she was getting bolder and bolder these days, and was almost about to cause trouble.
Ellis quickly jumped out of the bushes: "Miss... Miss Shen Jiang!"
Ellis stumbled over his words and almost shouted "Mister Witch" on the street.
"Stop, my brother is here to pick us up." Beatrice stopped the coachman and got off the car early.
*
Ellis returned to the manor through the small gate, practically hopping as he walked. The thought of seeing those hateful guards with their stomachs ripped apart made Ellis feel that the air was suddenly fresher.
"Stop! You damned dung picker! Who allowed you to come near the kitchen? Don't you know how much you stink?"
A few giggling voices stopped Ellis from continuing to walk forward. Ellis didn't look up, his eyes fixed on the roses blooming in the flowerbed. He thought to himself, Catherine was right, these flowers are indeed beautiful.
The beautiful roses that could be seen from outside the kitchen were the only compliment Catherine could give to the manor.
*
Dinner time was almost here, and Catherine waited and waited but her lover didn't come. Just when she was extremely anxious, she saw a group of guards gathered outside the window. In the center of those people was the gray-faced Ellis in disguise.
Without thinking, Catherine picked up the spatula and rushed out.
"What are you doing?!"
"Look, the new little cook is so charming when she gets angry. She is really a spicy little pepper." I don't know who started it first, but several guards looked at Catherine's plump breasts with ill intentions and laughed at each other.
Catherine didn't fall for their tricks and didn't blush at all. She walked over and righteously stood in front of the fallen Ellis, holding up the spatula in her hand and asked, "Who kicked him?"
There was a very obvious footprint on Ellis's gray back.
"This filthy rat almost broke into the kitchen to steal food, beautiful lady, instead of thanking us, you are speaking up for him? Are you attracted to him?"
As he spoke, one of the guards suddenly kicked Ellis again. His boot was so heavy that Ellis groaned in pain and almost buried his face in the ground.
Ellis's hand slowly reached into his pocket, where lay the weapons that the witch had just given him. He had never wanted to test their power more than now, so he might as well try them out on these guys first.
"I asked him to come!" Catherine pushed the guard hard. "You cowardly idiots! If you hadn't refused to deliver the food, I wouldn't have asked him to go to the basement."
After Catherine's reminder, the guards realized that there was something locked in the basement. It was an alien that Her Majesty the Queen had specially hidden in this manor.
"How could it be possible for him?" The leading guard sneered.
"Then you guys come with us and take a look!" Catherine glared at the group of rough guys angrily. She brought a bucket of solidified chicken blood from the kitchen door and said to Ellis, who was lying on the ground, "Hurry up and deliver the food. If you're late, that thing in the basement will go crazy again."
Ellis struggled to get up and took the bucket from Catherine's hand, but their eyes did not meet.
The moment their figures crossed, Ellis put the medicine bag into the open pocket of Catherine's apron.
When the guards saw Ellis limping away with the bucket, they immediately lost interest in bullying him, but they still pestered Catherine, from taking advantage of her verbally to trying to take advantage of her.
Catherine threatened them with a half-smile: "Believe it or not, if anyone of you dares to touch a finger of mine, I will chop off your finger and feed it to that thing in the basement as a snack."
After pushing away the disgusting guys, Catherine walked into the kitchen, thinking about how to drug each dish in the busy kitchen.
Cecilia walked past her and reminded her, "Catherine, are you thirsty?"
Catherine's eyes lit up, and she said, "After talking so much with those annoying guys, I'm really thirsty."
With Cecilia's figure as a shield, Catherine easily sprinkled the powder into the drinking water source in the manor kitchen.
Two pairs of eyes of different colors smiled at each other, and they both saw the relaxation in each other's eyes.
Thanks to the witch, they came up with the idea of putting the drug in the food. From now on, no one in this manor can escape the witch's potion, whether drinking water or eating.
Cecilia and Catherine had no attachment to this place; their sole purpose was to help the witch obtain the mule deer. Honestly, for them, an orphan and a widow, working here, especially for Catherine, who was so stunningly beautiful, they endured a lot of hardship at first. The elderly people in the kitchen would bully them in various ways, assigning them the dirtiest and most tiring work. The guards also teased and harassed Catherine. At that time, she really hoped the witch would suddenly appear with poison and vent her anger.
Catherine stared at the clear water in the tank in a daze. She felt a little sorry that the witch was unwilling to kill people, but she also seemed a little reluctant to poison all these people to death.
"How long have you two lazy bastards been hiding here? People like you won't regret it until the housekeeper docks your wages. Why don't you hurry up and fetch some buckets of water to help with the work?"
Catherine immediately suppressed her reluctance and viciously poured all the remaining powder in the medicine bag into the bucket.
*
Ellis carried a bucket of chicken blood to the basement door with ease. When the guard at the door saw him coming, he covered his nose and hid away from him.
"Idiot, we have to go to lunch first. You stay here from now on, okay?!"
Ellis didn't say anything. He waited until they left before opening the basement door.
It was a dark and damp space without a trace of sunlight. Any human being who stayed in such an environment for a long time would collapse due to losing their perception of time, but the person inside did not.
His wrists and ankles were bound by special iron rings, and the chains connecting the rings were as thick as Ellis's arms. Just by looking at this scene, one could tell that the person imprisoned here was extremely powerful.
To curb the strength of the man before him, the manor only feeds him once every five days, aiming to weaken him but not kill him. Yet, the guards, arrogant and smug, refuse to deliver food. Even the two guards at the door always ask Ellis to bring it in.
Ellis was unusually relaxed. Now he just had to wait for the witch's potion to take effect. Just as the darkness before dawn is particularly reassuring, Ellis's heartbeat quickened a little.
"I was wondering how you could end up in such a miserable state, locked up here like a living hell."
The weak Priest barely raised his eyelids and saw the foul-smelling guy in front of him mocking him.
"You don't think you're in a better situation than me, since you're delivering food to me," Priest curled his lips. "A lowly fellow like you dares to laugh at me. I think you're tired of living."
As he spoke, two sharp teeth appeared at the corners of his lips.
Ellis was not at all intimidated by him. He placed the solidified chicken blood in front of the prisoner and took off his hat for the first time in this manor.
"Are you a half-orc?" Priest was a little surprised. The owner of this manor would never agree to let a half-orc come in to work.
Ellis laughed heartily without any scruples: "Yeah, it seems you're not starving yet. You can see so clearly in such dim light."
"Have you forgotten that I'm a vampire?" Priest reminded him coldly, "For you, a completely dark environment is perfectly natural to me."
Ellis patted his head. He really didn't know this. He looked at Priest with a hint of madness in his eyes: "Do you want to go out? This... vampire friend?"
Priest stared coldly at the brazen orc, unable to figure out what he was up to.
"If you let me go, I can promise you countless wealth."
Ellis used a long-handled wooden spoon to scoop a large bowl of chicken blood from the bucket and put it to the pale Priest's lips. "No, listen to me. If you are willing to work for my master from now on, perhaps I can consider rescuing you."
Priest actually hated the taste of chicken blood since he was a child, but he had been hungry for too long and was extremely weak, so he had no right to be picky. When someone brought the chicken blood to him, he subconsciously leaned over and started to gobble it up.
"Who is your master?" Priest muttered incoherently.
"She is the greatest and most powerful witch in the world." When Ellis said this, there was a strange and bright light in his eyes.
Priest was stunned. Witch? Great? Did he hear correctly?
He had only been locked up for a year, and now even a black witch out there was starting to have followers?
Who is he? He is the son of the blood clan. Don’t even think about asking him to work for a lowly and evil black witch!
Priest couldn't help but chuckle, "If you had seen my father or any other prince of the blood clan, you wouldn't be fooled by an ordinary black witch. Go see more of the world, young man."
"What do you mean?" Ellis's expression froze instantly. It wasn't because this guy was mocking him, but because his words were filled with contempt for the witch.
He put down the wooden spoon, clearly no longer wanting to feed the smug vampire.
"Hey, I'm not full yet! Come on, keep going!"
Hearing a commotion outside, Ellis smiled slightly, ignoring the pale vampire who was furious, and walked out of the basement with a swagger. At this moment, the air outside was fresh and sunny, and the roaring sound from the basement gradually became smaller.
Now, he should go and open the door for the Witch Master and formally welcome her arrival.
*
Shen Jiang was very glad that there was no such thing as a camera in the other world of this era.
This time, she brought not only a large dose of croton but also several tranquilizer guns. The guns were homemade and the anesthetic, propofol, was also purchased from the black market, allowing people to fall asleep safely and painlessly. Of course, in addition to the anesthetic, she also brought some other drugs, such as a high-concentration narcotic. Anyone hit by this thing would probably die without even having time to be rescued.
Unless it was a special situation, Shen Jiang only wanted to instigate the innocent people in the manor. After that life-threatening experience in the Misty Forest, even though the other party had attacked first, her belated reaction was still somewhat horrified.
At that time, in order to save her own life, she directly killed the man with Dragon Flame. Looking back, if there was a more conservative option, she actually didn't have to kill anyone.
Seeing Ellis trotting over to greet her, Shen Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "You're pretty quick."
Ellis smiled and explained that he had just finished a part of the work. "My Lady Witch, I have a brilliant excuse to escape. There's a vampire imprisoned in the basement of this manor. Let him out when we leave. Then there will be a fantastic spectacle. No one will care that a few servants are missing."
Shen Jiang was a little surprised: "Vampire?"
Was it the vampire she knew? Why was such a being imprisoned in this manor?
"Yes, he seems to be filled with hatred for the owner of this manor and wants to tear him into pieces."
Shen Jiang couldn't help but look at the dirty big boy in front of her again, his bright eyes full of worry for her.
Ellis didn't smell good today, completely different from the clean and fresh look when she first saw him. The boy's work clothes were covered with unknown yellow stains.
He seemed to be very aware that he smelled bad, and he walked behind her on purpose to avoid smelling her.
Shen Jiang couldn't help but said solemnly: "Thank you, Ellis, I will remember everything you have done for me."
Ellis was caught off guard by the witch's thanks, and a blush spread to his ears. He was a little overwhelmed: "Actually, I didn't do anything for you."
Beatrice saw someone coming this way from a distance, and her whole body tensed up. "Someone's coming this way."
"Who are you? This is a private manor, cleaners, kick them out!" The person who came over was an older butler, and the wrinkles on his face were full of arrogance and dissatisfaction.
Just now, he saw the main gate of the manor open from afar, and thought that some important person had arrived, so he came over to greet him. Unexpectedly, he saw the cleaner of the manor and two strange women.
Ellis, of course, didn't listen to him and walked towards him instead.
Without saying a word, Shen Jiang raised the tranquilizer gun in his hand and shot him.
Crisp, neat, and hits the nail on the head.
The old butler looked at his arm which was in severe pain, and before he could react, his body fell limply to the ground. He then closed his eyes in disbelief but peacefully.
Shen Jiang was very satisfied with the effectiveness of the anesthetic. It took effect quickly and lasted long enough for them to act.
Beatrice thought that the old housekeeper was dead, and thought to herself that it was not a torturous death. Her witch was indeed very kind.
Her brother Ellis apparently shared her thoughts.
Only a kind-hearted witch could think of such a way of dying.
Shen Jiang checked with the orc brother and sister again: "I just taught you how to use this gun, do you remember?"
Ellis said excitedly, "Remember, use it within two meters, and it's best to strike the opponent when they're off guard."
He couldn't wait to shoot each of the guards who had just teased Catherine and send them on their way. He felt his blood boiling.
Beatrice pulled out a syringe from her pocket and added in a baby voice, "If all else fails, just stab them with this."
"Very good, let's go." Shen Jiang waved his hand and followed Ellis directly to the stable.
This time, to be on the safe side, Shen Jiang did not let Ellis take the main road, but instead tried to choose a tree-lined avenue with more shelter.
I just didn't expect that there would be someone on the originally quiet tree-lined path.
Several heads floated near the low green plants, with a distance between each person.
"Oh my god, I never thought that one day I would openly talk nonsense in the manor... If the old housekeeper knew about it, I would definitely be fired."
"Fire? I'm afraid he's taking a defecation somewhere right now. It's okay, we can just ask the cleaner to come and clean it up later."
Along with all kinds of unbearable excretion sounds, the elegant atmosphere of the carefully manicured path disappeared, and the air was filled with unbearable smells.
Ellis frowned. What had these people eaten? It tasted far more disgusting than a mule deer. He felt like throwing up. The latrines must be overcrowded, and these unrefined people had the audacity to use them.
Ellis quickly stopped his sister and the witch, preparing to lead them in another direction.
"Cleaner, I see you! Come over here quickly! Who is that beautiful woman next to you? Ask her to come and help me. My legs are almost numb."
"I think you still want her to help you put on your pants." The person who agreed to the agreement obviously hasn't realized the problem yet, and is still in the leisurely mood to laugh.
Ellis turned around and looked at the person who was speaking with a dark face. He recognized that this was one of the guards who had just surrounded and bullied him outside the kitchen.
"Ms. Shen Jiang, please take Beatrice over there and wait for me for a moment."
Trash like this isn't worth the witch's attention.
Ellis held his breath and walked over. Looking down at the man, he kicked the first man who came towards him.
The guard, whose legs were numb from squatting, was now at his weakest. He had not expected that the usually timid lowly cleaner would dare to attack him. Before he could stand up and fight back in anger, his stomach rumbled violently. The man couldn't help but show pain on his face and couldn't muster any strength.
Ellis acted extremely quickly, pulling out the guard's sword that was placed aside in one go, and quickly and neatly finished off the first guard. At this moment, the remaining two guards were not much better off, and were easily killed by the dark-faced Ellis.
These bastards weren't even worthy of the witch's potion. Ellis admired the other man's terrified expression with great interest for a moment; it was truly fascinating.
When they teased and mocked him in the stable, and when they trampled on his dignity outside the kitchen, Ellis would imagine this scene happening in his mind. At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable both physically and mentally.
Shen Jiang frowned as he thought of something else. "Ellis, come back quickly. We have to fight this battle quickly."
If someone discovered something wrong and spread the news, they would be in a passive position.
It must be said that it was too late when Shen Jiang realized the loophole. A maid who was cleaning the study was tremblingly searching for the magic scroll, trying to report it.
Just now, she saw the old housekeeper being shot to death easily by a woman.
