Invincible Chapter 167

On November 25, Kane destroyed the wizarding safe house in the old building.

On November 26, Kane went to bed early but refused to make out with Lydia and slept for 10 hours.

Lydia has been a bit demanding in the past two days, and Kane knows her thoughts, she wants a child. But it's doomed to be nothing. Even if he ignored the influence, after the body exploded its potential, it also lost the ability to reproduce.

He is now an ordinary person for a quarter of a day. From the time he crossed to the present, his hair has turned gray a lot. Now it is more white and less black. Although he is more handsome, it also marks that he is about to dry out.

On November 27, after breakfast, Kane was listening to Hanni and Lydia gossip about some aristocratic anecdotes, when the butler Fitch came in to report that Sir John Flint had visited.

This is naturally Carol. He usually meets privately. This kind of visit that does not shy away from anyone means that he comes to the door on business, and he does not send a letter asking to see him in advance, which means it is urgent.

Kane understood that the event he wanted was triggered.

Sure enough, Fran received the sad news of his brother Ryan's sudden death this morning. There was no hostility between Fran and Ryan that was common in noble families due to inheritance of power and money or other reasons. The relationship between the two was very close. Yes, it's only in recent years that they've become a little distant.

Many British people in this era have almost come to the point where science is regarded as a belief, and they firmly believe that the power of industry can bring a better life when it is small, and change the world when it is large.

Although Fran Carret was a wizard, his spellcasting talent was not outstanding. And in the field of machinery and industrial production of ordinary people, I found my own value.

He made achievements and became obsessed. It can be said that he is already a secular wizard.

Ryan is more traditional, and his focus has always been on the extraordinary realm. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, he is just a noble man who gnaws his old roots, an old-fashioned landlord who has no future and is unwilling to accept new things.

In addition, in order to avoid suspicion (Rui En is not yet married and has no inherited children), they drifted away and lived their own lives.

Hearing the bad news suddenly, Fran was at a loss, and the first thing he thought of was to find his cousin and assistant to discuss.

John Flint's role in everyday life is that of a man of action who speaks little, but speaks with insight.

Carroll said: "In just a few years, the old Marquis and the Marquis died one after another. Ryan's suspense is full. This time I go back to pay the funeral and inherit the family business. I'm afraid something will happen. I should be more cautious. One is the guard. , the other is a witness. I think Baron Wellingborough is very suitable for the latter. He is an upstart, has a good relationship with the Mayor of London, and has influence on the royal family. The succession of the title of Marquis involves secular matters. It is very suitable to be witnessed by him, and it is also convenient to handle some related affairs.”

Fran felt that what Carol said made sense, but he was a little worried: "Ted is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid he might be involved in wizard affairs..."

Carol smiled slightly: "Can an ordinary person stage the return of the king with a lot of wealth after wandering for 16 years? Do you think the adventure story about Indiana Jones that he talked about in the chat was really just heard in bars? of?"

"what do you mean?"

"Fran, the extraordinary world in the New World has not been fully sorted out. Ordinary people often see and even need to deal with some strange things. Protestantism has developed particularly well there, and it has a lot to do with it. How can a person who has opened up his own hidden kingdom over there lack the means?"

Fran was persuaded, and sent his cousin to find out.

This is a method often used in this era. Rejecting people or being rejected in person is very embarrassing, and it is not conducive to normal interaction in the future, so I sent my cronies to confirm my intention. If the request is successful, the party concerned will formally come to request.

"Charlotte Byron was at the door before I came," said Carroll.

Kane laughed: "That person really doesn't know what a lady's reserve is,

That's why Fran, who was fascinated by her, didn't pay attention to such details. What did she say? Planning to take the opportunity to show your face in front of Fran's relatives? "

"More than that, she also recommended several guards to Fran."

"It turns out that I also focused on this opportunity to install combat personnel, but this is too blunt. She is an ordinary person, how does she know this kind of character? The other party must at least be an extraordinary creature?"

"It is said that it is a relative with a wide range of contacts."

"Huh? This kind of far-fetched reason is fine? If I knew this was the case, I should let Ms. Parcival hold a bottle of love potion to deal with Fran."

Carol grinned. Of course he knew that Kane was joking. When he thought of Dumbledore's affectionate performance of deep love, he felt that the picture was so embarrassing that it made people want to laugh.

Of course, although he noticed that Dumbledore was perfectly dressed as a woman, he was not aware of Dumbledore's sexual orientation and the fact that he was a victim.

Just like what the Ji girl said to Kane: People who like to be beaten in games are often power holders or bullies in reality...

Later, Dumbledore and the others were notified.

Obviously, there are many smart people, and the simple and easy way is always easy to think of.

Without Kane's layout, Dumbledore's decisive battle plan, before entering the battlefield, would lose to the "women, no brothers" competition trick.

"We finally decided to participate in this operation." Richard and Laura said at the same time.

Kane nodded and said to Richard, "Then you are a lawyer hired by Baron Wellingborough."

He also handed Laura a small pendant and a box of potions: "You and the principal are playing witches and sisters. The pendant is used to pretend to be a magic power, and the potion is used to strengthen the body's comprehensive index, speed up metabolism and healing ability."

Only then did Laura know that the appearance of her body had been adjusted to have a higher degree of similarity with Yuna Parcival, and it was Kane who had thought of the possibility of this moment early on.

Dumbledore had nothing to say, Kane had already made a wand for him. The wand body of elderberry and the tail feathers of thestral, but with the ring of elements on the handle, in Dumbledore's words, it is stronger and more irritable than the old wand.

On the 28th, when it was still dark, people washed up, had breakfast, packed their bags and prepared to go on the road.

Kane hugged and bid farewell to Hanni and Lydia. Before going out, Kane patted Fitch on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old dog, take care of yourself and Hanni."

Fitch bowed slightly to Kane, and used his usual address: "Master, take care."

Lincoln and Kennedy were already waiting at the door with blank faces, holding a horse lantern in their hands, poking there like a lamppost. The sturdy figure, which is close to two meters and weighs more than 350 kilograms, is daunting.

This time, I took a carriage specially used for long distances. There were guard rails on the roof to tie luggage, and there were felt curtains and a small portable stove on the driver's seat to keep warm.

Of the two cars, Kane took the smaller and more comfortable one, with a maximum of two people, while Dumbledore and the others took the relatively common iron-clad carriage, which was very spacious, and the ride felt ordinary.

Hanging the horse lantern on the front hook on the side of the pull door, Lincoln shook the reins, and the snorting horse pulled the cart into the mist of night and mist, followed by another one driven by Kennedy car.

The vehicle arrived at the appointed point first, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Fran and his party arrived amidst the sound of horseshoes.

A car, and four other people, riding tall horses.

The horse is very energetic, with smooth fur, knotted muscles, calm and high-spirited, it is a war horse.

He was also cool and handsome, wearing a leather hunting coat with a fur cape, a three-cornered hat, a saber, and a rifle in a leather satchel behind the saddle.

Kane curled his lips and said in his heart, "This role-playing is really amateur."

Cavalry is very demanding and very hard. When the four of them looked at the details of their clothes and their riding postures, they knew that they were not even amateur riders, otherwise they would not have known that war horses were not suitable for such a long journey this time.

Moreover, these four people underestimated the bone-chilling coldness of this era and season too much. The British Isle was originally at a high latitude, but now it is mainly going north.

Seeing how cool and handsome this outfit is, he would freeze into an idiot if he walked halfway, not to mention fighting, it would be nice to be able to recover from his horse when he rested at night.

After meeting with Fran, we briefly exchanged a few words, and then got into the car. The convoy set off when it was just dawn.

The destination is in North Yorkshire, bordering the North Sea in the east and Cleveland in the north. It is a bit inappropriate to say that it is remote, but it is not a big place, and it is true that it is ancient.

The road conditions in this era are generally nothing to look forward to, and a smooth gravel road is very good.

Due to several snowfalls, it thawed, thawed and thawed, and thawed and then thawed again. The road is a hard frozen stone road, slippery and painful, but even so, it is better than the wilderness on both sides of the road. It is covered with white snow. The soles of shoes in this era are not as puncture-resistant and scratch-resistant as the soles of military boots in later generations.

The weather was not bad today, the sun came out early, and although there was no heat, at least the winter fog was dispelled, the visibility was improved, and the wind was not too strong.

But even so, the four knights couldn't hold on before noon.

After finally surviving until the noon nap time, he rolled off the horse in embarrassment, one screamed in pain when he turned over and got off the horse, and the other foot hit the ground, then staggered and knelt down.

Seeing this scene from the carriage, Fran couldn't help frowning.

What made him uncomfortable was that these people were overconfident. If they were not good at riding, they would say that they were not good at riding. It was not uncommon for wizards who had no feeling for horses. Who would have a more convenient magic broom. I insisted on riding a horse, and said that it was protected around the frame, but I didn't see magic on myself and the horse along the way.

"Is it because the wizards who graduated from Hogwarts are too good? Or have you met a clumsy and weird European wizard?"

He even deliberately got out of the car and said a few words of concern. The four people couldn't stand up straight because of the side pain in their thighs, and they tried their best to show that they were fine.

Fran took the opportunity to say hello to the people on Kane's side.

It has to be said that Baron Wellingborough's manpower is much more reliable.

Just two coachmen are enough to deal with a group of ordinary enemies, even mobs and wolves would dare to approach them at all.

He knew Yuna Parcival. He didn't expect the baron to invite this well-known witch to accompany her. Her cousin, with bright eyes, full of magic power, and faint majesty like a leopard, should also be a good player... …

A campfire was built in a sheltered place, and lunch was simply dipped in bread and soup. Fran briefly introduced the situation at home to Kane.

Basically, it matches what Kane originally knew.

Squib's sister and her Colonel's brother-in-law have always had ambitions to acquire magical wizard potions.

Fred, the eldest son of the lazy concubine, when the old marquis was still alive, often lingered at the house, asking for money, and had no interest in starting a business or doing research.

Members of Ryan's wife's family, uncle and brother-in-law.

Fran was very disgusted with these two people, and felt that they were the ones who were most likely to cause trouble.

There are also aunts and uncles. Kane found that Fran's expression was a bit unnatural when he mentioned his aunt, and guessed that there might be something wrong here.

"Ryan has never married after losing his wife?"

"Ok."

"Who will take care of the young daughter?"

"Pamela, Head Maid."

"Who is the butler?"

"Pamela."

In addition to Pamela, the housekeeper, Fran also mentioned one person, Veronica.

Sensitive to the name, Kane asked Fran, "Nordic?"

"Maybe, she discovered my seriously injured father. If it weren't for her strange power, my father would have died before returning to England."

"What kind of power is it?"

"It washes away the decaying and necrotic flesh and blood like clear water, allowing the healthy flesh and blood to grow again. Unfortunately, it is a curse from the soul that constantly causes physical lesions."

There is no need to ask any more questions, Kane felt that the old Marquis might have suffered a curse from his soul.

The so-called soul curse can also be understood as a special energy infection.

When God falls, all kinds of negative emotions of God will burst out concentratedly. This kind of negative spiritual energy produced by the soul may exist in any state of solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Humans cannot bear the erosion of this energy. Who is unlucky to meet.
