Chapter 208 The Last Female Witch (13)
The wizard's mysterious actions left Shisui speechless.
Seeing that the water of unknown composition was about to splash on her face, Shisui neither avoided nor hid. Instead, she blinked her eyes, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at the wizard's bowl.
Then a magical scene happened.
Under Shisui's command, all the spilled water returned to the wizard's bowl without a drop left!
"This, this... what's going on?!" The male wizard, holding the bowl with a look of horror on his face, staggered back two steps.
Shisui smiled and said, "No way! You're a wizard who's treated as a guest of honor by the lord, but you can't even do this basic operation. You're just a scoundrel, right?"
"I, I, I'm good at mind reading! It's on a different level from your little tricks!" The male wizard blushed and tried to save his face.
"Let me see what kind of water I need to perform mind reading..."
Shisui raised her chin slightly, and the golden bowl in the wizard's hand floated over slowly and fell into her hand.
This telekinesis trick made the male wizard and the butler who witnessed the whole process stare with wide eyes.
Shi Sui looked carefully and found that the water in the golden bowl was colorless and transparent. When she put it under her nose, she could smell a strange fragrance.
It's the juice of the Datura flower...
Datura flowers themselves have anesthetic effects, and large amounts of contact can make people drowsy.
Judging from the taste and concentration of the water, in addition to a large amount of datura flowers, this bowl of water also contains plant juices such as oleander and rosemary, which can cause damage to human nerves.
If you pour such a big bowl of "magic potion" on your mouth and nose and inhale it, you will fall into a coma and answer whatever people ask you.
This, is what the wizard claims is mind reading...
However, the wizard probably didn't mean to deceive.
In their time, people knew very little about various natural phenomena and plants and animals. This gypsy man may have inherited the secret recipe left by his ancestors and thought he really had "superpowers".
But whether it was true or not, Shisui entered the manor with the intention of manipulating Viscount Santa Cruz. Any wizards had to step aside and make way for her.
Tokiho noticed that the chief steward was standing against the wall in the side hall, but he just watched coldly. Even when he saw the male wizard being suppressed by Tokiho, he remained indifferent.
She knew that the chief steward was a cunning fox who just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers to see who was more powerful.
The Grand Steward's status is one level higher than Water's, above all the butlers, and is almost equivalent to the eyes and hands of Viscount Santa Cruz.
To deal with him is to deal with the lord.
"Mind reading, it's not difficult, I can do it too."
Shi Sui suddenly swung her hand, and just like the wizard had just thrown the "magic potion" at her, she threw the golden bowl directly back at the wizard's face.
The wizard was unable to dodge and was doused by the mandrake juice like a drowned dog.
Shisui took the opportunity to grab his stick and knocked him to the ground with one blow.
He wanted to struggle, but Shihui stepped on his feet and pressed his chest with a stick, making him unable to move.
Under the influence of the drug, the wizard's eyes became increasingly blurred and his limbs began to twitch slightly.
"Where are you from and what is your purpose in coming to the manor?" Shi Sui asked him softly.
The wizard's mind was no longer clear.
He muttered, "I came from the capital. I heard...I heard that Viscount Santa Cruz was very generous, so I came to work for him. I want to make some money..."
"Oh, I see." Shisui smiled and continued, "What good things have you done for the Viscount?"
"That's too much! Predicting the weather, using mind reading to make prisoners who refuse to tell the truth confess, and even casting curses on others... Last month I even cursed the Bishop on behalf of the Viscount, hahahahahaha..."
Yo~ He even cursed the bishop.
How deep is the hatred and resentment between Viscount Santa Cruz and the Bishop...
The wizard was confused and did not realize how terrible the words he said were.
According to doctrine, cursing the bishop was an unforgivable sin and both he and the Viscount of Santa Cruz were to be executed immediately.
The Grand Steward's face turned pale when he heard this, fearing that the wizard would reveal more explosive information.
He could no longer sit idly by.
The High Steward pulled a pair of white gloves from his coat pocket, put them on, picked up a gilded candlestick, walked over to the wizard, and knocked him unconscious with a powerful blow.
After finishing, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out the door to call for help.
"Someone, come! Put this wizard in solitary confinement, gag him, and keep him under close watch!!"
After a tidy up, the male wizard was dragged away, leaving only Shi Sui and the chief steward in the side hall.
Shisui bowed slightly. "Really? Someone with only mediocre skills can call themselves a wizard. Your Excellency, you should be careful when looking for someone next time. Well, I'll be going back now."
She turned and walked towards the door of the side hall.
Shisui was just being arrogant on purpose.
How could the chief steward let her go so easily...
“Wait!”
As expected, the chief steward stopped Shisui, walked steadily up to her, and looked her up and down with the arrogance inherited from the Santa Cruz family.
"Actually, you are the witch from Wall Village who can't die even if burned, right?"
