Now no one dared to laugh anymore. Visian stepped on the tomahawk stuck upside down on the ground and said loudly: "Do you understand what I just said? Get out of here!"
The enemies who originally surrounded them wisely chose to retreat after witnessing their companions lose one after another within one minute.Especially the two people who were given "special care" by Wei Xi'an. They ran the fastest and ran away without even having time to retract their weapons.
"What you did was too public. They will definitely report it to their superiors."
"Then let them report it. Besides, we are already very conspicuous."
Faced with Caschia's accusation, Vician raised a finger and pointed at the sky. The meaning of this action was very clear. Needless to say, he was pointing at Pergade flying into the sky.
"Don't tell me you did it on purpose. There are many other ways to lure the snake out of its hole."
Caschia rubbed his brows and said weakly.He felt that the pirate ship he was on, called the "Visian", would probably never dock.
"Well...it's too late to regret it now anyway, let's see if they will take the initiative to 'tell'"
Where is their boss? "
Wei Xi'an lowered his head apologetically. He also felt that he had gone a little too far, but it was still good. Everything was still under his control.
"Forget it, this is indeed faster. Just do as you say first, but if anything happens, you have to listen to me. I am your military advisor, do you remember?"
Caschia walked minding his own business, passing Vician and leaving him behind.Vician shrugged, quickly followed Caschia, and then walked to the other party's side.
"Everything is at your discretion, distinguished military advisor."
In the same tone as usual, after hearing this, Caschia pushed Vician's body closer and sighed helplessly.

Chapter 57 Vician & Caschia——County
Vician and Caschia were walking aimlessly between the fields. No, it couldn't be said to be aimless, right?
They encountered a big trouble. Unlike the interior of Ander, the Earldom did not have conspicuous wooden road signs to indicate the roads.Those dirt roads are intricately intertwined, just like a large maze.
Don't get me wrong, the previous roads in the earldom were not like this. Even if Visian walked those original roads while sleepwalking, he would never go wrong.
But just like that, Vician and Caschia still circled back to the starting point, where they walked out of the magic beam, and the two-handed battle ax was even inserted into the ground intact!
"Very wrong."
"I also know something is wrong. We should not be going the wrong way."
As Caschia spoke, he recalled the path he and Vician had taken just now, and he found that their new direction was no different from usual.Moreover, the two of them are not road crazy, so there is no chance of them remembering the wrong way.
Then there is something wrong with this entire earldom.
Then, with the idea of "Since you can walk with your eyes closed, let's give it a try." Caschia asked Vician to close his eyes and walk the same old path again, while he himself followed all the way, concentrating on the way. Check if there is anything unusual around you.
There is nothing wrong or unnatural in the first half of the road; in the second half of the road, even an ordinary person will notice the weirdness of this place.
"Stop, don't go forward."
"Huh? What's wrong? What... situation is this?!"
Vician stood in the middle of a crossroads that should not have existed. On his left and right sides were two identical houses. It was impossible for them to mistake that house: the one in which Lourenço killed a couple and the count. The housekeeper meets the house. The fact that there are two identical murder scenes is really disturbing.Vician and Caschia tried walking the same path several more times, and finally managed to figure out the "change" that had occurred within the earldom:
The earldom currently doesn’t know what happened, but the road leading to the earl’s mansion was copied.If Caschia calls the original correct road A, then copies of A will appear every other section of the road, let's call it B for now.Judging from the fact that they could see the same scenery no matter how far they walked, except for A, which they arrived at at the beginning, the others they walked through were all replicas of B.And sometimes, B will appear in the form of a mirror image.
No matter which route you follow, you will eventually return to the starting point, so it is quite difficult to find the correct road to the Earl's mansion in these completely repeated areas.
"Do you really not want us to go to the Earl's mansion?"
"We either have to find a way to get back to where we started, or we have to find a way to get out of here."
After speaking, Caschia took a step forward, but Vician held him back.Vician looked like "Are you stupid?" He said to Caschia: "Why don't we just teleport directly to the Earl's mansion?"
Yes, Jersey could have teleported them directly to the hostages, but chose not to because of "potential danger factors."
By the way, it was Caschia who stopped Jersey from doing this.
Caschia was speechless for a long time. He thought of himself when he refuted Vician's proposal at the battle table, and suddenly felt his face hurt. He really shouldn't have said: "That is the safest choice."
"Ahem, uh. I don't know, don't you know."
"Your ears are so red."
"It's your illusion, go and prepare for teleportation."
Visian smiled and ran to Caschia to take out the scroll. As the scroll unfolded, the familiar strong wind began to sweep across them again, and they returned to Pergade.
When Vician and Caschia returned to Pergade, Alice and her party had not returned yet, so they only saw the wizard Jersey.
After hearing Vician's story, Jersey was also happy to airdrop them directly into the Earl's Palace.
"I'm not sure where you'll land though, is that okay?"
"Are there any drawbacks to space magic? It doesn't matter, just come on."
Vician waved his hand, indicating that Jersey could come wherever he wanted. Anyway, even if the landing point was in front of the enemy leader, he was confident that he could escape with Caschia intact.
"What about Mr. Caschia? You have no objection, right?"
"Ah...? I, oh, I have no objection..."
Caschia responded to Jersey's question a little awkwardly, his eyes drifting around, but he just didn't want to look directly into the eyes of the blond wizard.
After Jersey heard the two people's replies, he stood his staff on the ground and chanted a long incantation before the teleportation magic was activated.
In the blink of an eye, Vician and Caschia arrived at the Earl's Palace.Their luck seemed good this time. The landing point of the teleportation was in an empty room. There was nothing else in the room except ordinary furniture and furnishings.
"We should have done this a long time ago!"
"Shut up, please."
It was rare for Caschia to show an embarrassed expression. Visian wanted to tease him a few more words, but for the sake of his own personal safety, it was better not to commit suicide.
"Is this...the third floor...ah! They have already rushed over!"
"Let me see, well, it is indeed rushing over."
Vician and Caschia stood sideways on both sides of the window. Looking down from one side of the window, they could see the enemies gathering towards the building where they were in the courtyard below.
Some of the enemies were wearing uniforms belonging to the earl, while other enemies were dressed in a messy manner. Even their walking postures looked untrained. It was obvious that these people came from different forces.
"Those are supposed to be people who are earls, and these are people who are thieves."
"It should be, good job, we have to deal with two groups of people."
Vician withdrew from the window, and Caschia stayed at the window for a while before leaving.Their current situation is slightly better than before, but only a little bit.
Although they successfully entered the Earl's Mansion, the teleported movement also reminded the enemy of their location.The sound of loud footsteps has reached all the way from the courtyard to the third floor.
Before long, this floor will be completely surrounded by enemies.When the time comes, Vician and Caschia will become fish in a fish basket, unable to escape anywhere.
"Wait a minute, the study is also on the third floor, right? Can't we go directly to the bottom floor through the secret door in the study!?"
"Let me see, the study is indeed on this floor. Do we have that time to find the study?"
"If we move quickly, the enemy should have just walked up the stairs to the second floor."
Weisian lay down on the spot and put his ear to the floor. In this way, he could vaguely hear the "squeaking" sound made by people stepping on the wooden stairs.
After confirming that the enemy was still some distance away from them, Vician and Caschia kicked open the door and ran outside, crashing directly into the study.
Vician forced the bookcase down to block the door. Caschia found the secret door in the room and successfully opened it.The secret door slowly opened, and Vician and Caschia quickly got in. As soon as they got into the secret door, they heard the enemy's voice not far away.
"Ignore them, what will we do after we get down?"
"Go to the northwest side of the ground floor, where the count keeps our members of Pergaard."
Vician descended the steps behind the secret door, and in front of him was Caschia.Caschia held up his magical lantern to light the way ahead.In just a few minutes, they reached the end of the dark passage.
On the other side of that door is the kitchen of the Earl's house.
——TBC——
Chapter 58 Vician & Caschia - Mirror Image
Through a door, outside is the kitchen of the Earl's mansion.Visian quietly opened the door, and the flickering candlelight filtered through the crack in the door, drawing a strip of light on their faces.
There was no one in the kitchen, so Vician and Caschia closed the secret door and flipped the secret lock to completely lock the secret door to prevent the pursuers from behind from pursuing them along the secret passage.
"The kitchen is here. When we go out, we will bypass the stairs and go through the reception room and then..."
"Wait, do you think...it's too quiet here?"
Visian raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He calmed down and listened to what was going on upstairs. Caschia was right. There was indeed no sound coming from upstairs. It was very quiet.
"Maybe we can't hear you from one floor away? Forget it, I just need to pay more attention to my surroundings."
"You better do it."
Caschia also felt a little uneasy at this time, and he gave Vician a few more instructions, which seemed very verbose.Wei Xi'an agreed wholeheartedly, but how much he could really listen to it was a question.
Now that they have confirmed their destination, all they need to do next is get there smoothly.Wei Xi'an opened the kitchen door, and a mural facing the door caught his attention.Vician still remembered that the count was very harsh on his maids, and sometimes he would even punish the maids just because there was a little dust on the furnishings.
Now look at that painting. There is a lot of dust on the surface of the painting. The dust makes the beautiful watercolor painting a lot darker.Wei Xi'an lowered his head and looked at the floor of the corridor. There were also stains on the white carpet, and there was also a layer of dust on the floors that were not covered by carpets.
"No one has cleaned this place in a long time."
Vician was very confused. He turned around and looked inside the kitchen. He had not had time to observe the kitchen because he was busy avoiding the pursuers and specifying strategies with Caschia.
The interior of the kitchen is also very messy. Uncut ingredients are piled scatteredly on the stove, and there are only some residues of the long-extinguished firewood.The long-used kitchen knife was inserted crookedly on the sticky board, and next to it was a large piece of meat that had not had time to be processed and had deteriorated and turned green.
"It's better if we act together."
"Visian? What did you find?"
"It's just something that's not quite right. You see, the count has always been very strict with his servants, right? But there's dust here, and the painting and these furnishings..."
As Vician explained this, he and Caschia walked out of the kitchen. The sound of their conversation echoed in the corridor, as if they were the only two in the entire mansion.
As they spoke, they stopped. They had walked through the corridor to the northwest side of the Earl's mansion. They did not encounter a single mouse along the way, and even the sound of the pendulum completely disappeared.
Wei Xi'an felt that he might have encountered something supernatural again, or that this was all set up by a certain mage. After all, he had almost fallen into the trap of mage his whole life.
"Do you want to go back?"
"No, we've already come this far. If we don't go to the front to take a look, we'll look cowardly."
"...Visian, there is a word called 'strategic retreat'."
"I know there's a word for that!"
