Chapter 54 Out of Control



In the darkness, Dolai looked at Lily with some surprise. She had this trick? If he could really do it, he could make a plan.

When wizards are apprentices, except for senior wizard apprentices, they basically have no means to fight against the enemy. They can only rely on wisdom and various potions. Even alchemy can only be made after becoming a senior apprentice. Dolai couldn't think of anything that Lily had that could affect livestock. She probably used some potions or something like that.

Whether it is ordinary livestock, horses pulling carriages, or other camel-like animals with high endurance and physical strength, their structures and physiology are different from humans, and their sense of smell, taste, and hearing are easily affected. Lily will probably start from these aspects.

As a wizard, thinking comes first, so Dolai made a lot of guesses.

"If this can be used as a means, we can plan something. Whether it causes large-scale chaos or small-scale violence, we can carry out close-range assassinations. I will try to get a crossbow and some poison. This may work."

Dole quickly formed the concept of assassination in his mind?

Lily was a little surprised to hear this, "Can you get a crossbow?"

Dolai nodded and said, "Okay, but the crossbow is inconvenient to carry, so we can only act at night."

Lily sighed and said, "If I had known you could get a crossbow, I would have killed him a few days ago, that human scum. So, since we have a crossbow, we can do this, this..."

As a noble, Bondi's travel plans are generally not fixed, but nobles have many activities and opportunities. Intermediate apprentices do not have any means of long-range attack, which is the key reason why Lily's mission has been delayed. Ordinary killers are unwilling to take such a big risk to assassinate a noble, and more advanced killers are unwilling to take risks and look down on the money.

Only the two mid-level wizard apprentices who were short of money were willing to do this.

The crossbow is a mandatory controlled item and is usually strictly controlled. Even nobles are not allowed to own it. Only the military is qualified to own it, not the police. Dolai was able to get a crossbow because he is a blacksmith and has repaired countless crossbows. He can even assemble one by himself using discarded parts, so it is not difficult to get a crossbow. What he cares most about is intelligence.

Lily had no long-range means, and the two of them worked together and decided that as long as they had a crossbow, this task would not be difficult to accomplish. After all, Bundy had many opportunities to travel, and there were even more opportunities to kill him.

Time passed slowly. After a few days, Dole got the crossbow and quietly took it away from the blacksmith. At night, he found a few empty places and practiced a few times. After confirming the accuracy, he notified Lily to prepare for action. As a mid-level warrior apprentice, Dole's strength was enough to control the crossbow.

Bundy is a relatively fat middle-aged man with narrowed eyes and a sinister look when he smiles.

He was a lord recognized by the empire. Although he was only the lowest-ranking baron, he was also a nobleman with a fixed monthly salary and the right to recruit five private soldiers.

Even the lowest-ranking baron has a small territory, which is a small town on the road to Chris County. He can collect more than 50% tax from the town every month. Of this more than 50% tax, 40% needs to be paid to the city lord, and the remaining 10% is for himself. Therefore, Bondi increased the tax rate to 70%.

However, he seldom went to the small town. He just received a fixed amount of money every month. As for whether the territory was good or bad, it had nothing to do with him.

Eating and drinking every month, getting along with other nobles, and playing with women, this is the life of an ordinary petty noble.

July 20th was the birthday of a viscount of the Lake family, and he was invited. Although his reputation was notorious, he liked to play with servants, and even offended many people, he was a noble after all, so he would still receive the invitations he deserved.

The Lake family is the third largest family in Dormont City, ranking below the city lord Link's family and the deputy city lord Orn's family. It has abundant financial resources and great power, and controls a lot of resources, occupying a large share of the mines, furs, medicinal materials and other businesses.

Therefore, he still had to go if the Lake family invited him. If he could get close to this powerful family, his life would change a lot.

In addition to the Lake family's huge influence, there is another important factor, that is, one can see many beautiful ladies at the banquet, and it would be great if one could hook up with a few of them.

This is the key point that Bundy wants to go. No matter who he is with or whose daughter he is with, if he can stay with her for a few nights, it will be the most wonderful thing in life.

The banquet started at 6pm and ended at 10pm. After a few hours, Bondi did not get what he wanted, but he was favored by several ladies and was slightly satisfied. After the banquet, everyone left slowly.

Bondi didn't leave late, there were even other carriages behind him. He had a strange smile on his face and it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun. After greeting the other nobles, Bondi got on the carriage and quickly entered the avenue.

Lying comfortably in the carriage, he took out his hand, placed it next to his nose, and took a deep breath.

That is the smell of Bauhinia, belonging to a viscount lady, so fragrant...

The coachman knew Bundy's temper. The carriage was not fast, but slow. Another word for slow is steady.

The carriage slowly entered the avenue and drove slowly to the main avenue. It soon arrived at the northwest district, passed several avenues, and drove into the small road.

The driver was familiar with the route, and the horse did not need any instructions, but automatically walked into the alley in front of his house.

The carriage slowly entered the alley.

At this moment, the leading horse was suddenly startled, stood up, and then ran forward madly like a wild horse. On the other two sides of the carriage, the other three horses were affected by the first horse and ran forward madly as well.

The driver pulled the harness hard, but it was of no use. The four horses rushed madly along the road.

Bundy was awakened from his deep sleep by the sudden vibration. He was a little drunk and had a little sweat on his head. At this time, the carriage accelerated wildly and he fell backwards suddenly, hitting his head on the wood behind him.

"Damn it, driving like this, stop now, stop now."

Bundy immediately yelled.

The coachman was also panicking at this time, "Sir, no, the horse is frightened and can't be controlled, you should jump down quickly."

When Bundy heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

The horse was frightened, and who knows where a frightened horse will run to. He was also a mid-level warrior. Although he didn't exercise often, his skills were still there. He tried hard to control his body and got his head out of the carriage.

He saw that the four horses that he usually fed well were now like crazy and out of control. He cursed inwardly, tried hard to control his body, walked to the side of the shaft, spotted a flat ground, and immediately jumped.

After rolling on the ground a few times, Bundy regained control of his body.

At this time, the horse pulled the coachman into the darkness amid screams.

"Damn it, this is what happened." Bundy cursed a few times. He was knocked unconscious from the fall and hadn't yet woken up.

At this moment, the surrounding patrol teams also noticed the situation here and ran towards the carriage. An out-of-control carriage was swaying on the street and an accident could happen at any time.

One of them came up to Bundy and said cautiously, "Master Bundy, are you okay?"

Bundy ignored himself and immediately shouted, "I'm fine, hurry up and chase the carriage."

That carriage cost a lot of money. If it breaks down, I can only ride in another old carriage, which I cannot tolerate.
