Section 41 Injuries

“What method?”

"Use gunpowder." Xingke replied. "We try to buy a batch of gunpowder secretly and pile it up in that basement to detonate. If this is the case, the place will be completely ruined, and others will not be able to enter, nor will they notice the gathering of black magic energy."

"That's called "I want to cover up the truth." A voice sounded. The two sisters turned their heads together and saw that Ash Rufate came in from outside. At this time, the servants had already gone to rest, so there were only three people here, and they could speak louder.

"In fact, even if this place is auctioned, they may not be interested in the small mountain house. But if they are dealt with like this, it may attract unnecessary attention. It is still easy for anyone to organize a manpower and it will be digging up the collapsed house."

两姐妹都不说话了.艾修鲁法特说的没错,眼下就是那种左右为难的情况了.其实最好的方法就是确保山间小别墅在她们手里.只要这片土地落到其他人手里,那么那个汇聚黑魔法能量的魔法阵被发现的可能性就很大.

Of course, there is also a high possibility that others will not discover this secret at all. However, it is best not to participate in this kind of gambling.

"But... there is no better way." Xingjian replied in a low voice.

"I knew I'd killed that guy Eo last time!" Xing Ke said hatefully.

"Kill him?" Ashu Rufat repeated Xingke's words. "His he and you... have had a conflict?"

"He wanted to make a mistake with us two." The one who spoke was Xingjian. "So he was taught a lesson by his sister. I think maybe he held a grudge."

"No matter what motive he was from, we have no choice now. He stayed in the royal city safely and could make us so embarrassed by just writing a letter." Xingke inserted it. "I really can't think of a good way to get ten thousand gold coins."

"I have an idea," said Ashu Rufate. "But I really don't know... it's OK."

...

Several houses were built on the hill ahead.

In the suburbs, this is a relatively rare phenomenon. Because generally speaking, the houses of the gentry and nobles are far apart from each other. This is because they usually own a large area of ​​land. However, this is obviously an exception. If you want to blame, you must blame the location of the hill, which is convenient for transportation and a wide view. Not to mention, there is a spring on the hill that has been constantly flowing for years, which is a very good source of water. In addition, some evergreen trees are planted on the hills, which are green all the time and have unique scenery.

The window curtains of the carriage were opened a little, and Ashu Rufat immediately rode his horse to the carriage.

"Then, it's Sir Dicks' home." Xingke in the carriage said.

Ashu Rufate looked in the direction of her finger and saw a house that looked very delicate and unique. This was not a particularly large house, but it was cleverly located and built with ingenious construction. Compared with the neighbors, it looked like a slim beauty and a fat mother, and it looked outstanding in appearance alone.

“Very good house.”

"This is left to him by his father. It is said that he found a group of dwarves to help him build it." Xing Ke said. To be honest, her tone was a little sour when she spoke. "Bather and son both like to show off."

Today they came to visit Sir Dix specifically. In addition to the kind of close and true good friends, that is to say, under normal circumstances, there are certain steps for visiting between squire and noble, and they do not come to the door if they want to. Before visiting, a servant should be sent to notify him one day in advance. The guest can only come to the door after the servant brings the master at home and is waiting for the guest’s reply.

On the surface, this is just a step for Ashu Rufate to join the local social circle. As Aunt Mary said before, Ashu Rufate performed outstandingly at the last dance party at Baron Raoul's house and had introduced himself to the public in advance. But on the other hand, he did not have enough knowledge of the local people. This requires him to visit others more often, participate in social activities more often, and show up in public to make up for it.

In fact, Ashu Rufat had the opportunity to meet Dix. Because of the previous dance party, Dix also attended. However, because of the "suicide incident" of this dance party, many corresponding social activities - although the dance party is mainly dancing, there are also many projects that are not related to dancing - all of them were not carried out. However, it doesn't matter. The two sisters have lived here for more than ten years and have already integrated into the social circle here, so they can take him to visit.

Because the gatekeeper had already notified in advance, the doorkeeper quickly opened the door. After Ashrufate handed the reins to a servant, he saw another carriage next to it - this is not a private carriage, but a carriage that specializes in picking up and dropping off guests. The previous difference between the two can be easily seen. Because this kind of taxi always paints itself green and does not add any other decorations outside the carriage.

Of course, another feature is that the coachman does not wear any uniforms, only wears casual clothes.

"I'll ask, this is..." Ashu Rufate pointed at the carriage and asked the servant who took the reins.

"Sir, that is the marist my master invited from another province." said the servant.

“马医?”

"Here, that's that one."

Ashu Rufate looked in the direction pointed by the servant and saw two horses standing in the middle of the courtyard farther away. Although the distance was far away, Ashu Rufate had a keen vision. He could tell at a glance that one of the two people should be the owner of the place, Sir Dix. They had met at a dance party. Perhaps the two sides did not introduce each other that time, so they did not know each other's identity, but no matter what, they always looked familiar after meeting each other.

Dix was wearing a slightly out of date--it was late winter and early spring, and the weather was a little cold. The normal clothes were fur coats, but Dix was obviously the type who didn't want to be warm for the sake of his demeanor--he was wearing a tuxedo.

The one with him was a very old man. Ashu Rufate thought that he should be what the servant said. At this time, the two were talking around the horse. Perhaps because they were talking in a good mood, they had not yet discovered the arrival of Ashu Rufate and the two sisters.

If Ashu Rufat is right, the horse should be the legendary horse with the blood of the elf war horse. Dix's actions are easy to understand - the horse racing has not been far away, so he is making his last attempt to invite a famous doctor from another place to see if his BMW has a chance to heal.

因为被两个人的身体遮住,所以此时艾修鲁法特对那匹马看不真切.不过至少他能看到那匹马全身上下都是雪白色的,看不到一根杂毛.恍惚之间,他有一种奇怪的感觉.他好像曾经在什么地方看到过很多此类的马,多到不可胜数.不过这种感觉马上就被理智赶走了.要知道这是一匹继承了精灵战马血统的骏马,在人类世界中是一等一的好马.除非艾修鲁法特去过精灵国度——否则他绝不可能见过很多此类的马.

Of course, as mercenaries, if they are hired by a wealthy merchant and accompany him to cross the sea to the elves' kingdom to increase their knowledge, this is also a matter of explanation. Because mercenaries are not necessarily hired by kings or nobles to fight on the battlefield. When there was no war, they often worked as bodyguards and guards, especially small teams, which were even more popular among merchants.

Ashu Rufate walked towards the location where the two of them were in the middle of the courtyard. Xingke wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't say anything, but followed him instead. Xingjian also followed his sister.

Ashu Rufate soon became clear about the conversation between the two sides.

“Is there no hope at all?”

"Mr. Dix, my opinion was exactly the same as last time. It takes time."

"But you have also said that you may not be able to recover if you have time. And horse racing..."

"Please give up this idea. In any case, this little beauty will not be able to participate in this year's Jockey Club. Now there is only about a month left."

"Damn it! You mean, can I give up this year? It doesn't look like it's lame anymore."

"I didn't mean to give up on participating in the competition. You can choose another horse. I once again emphasize that Mr. Dix, this little beauty can no longer stand the tossing. If you try to ride it again, even if it's easy to exercise like a broken step trot... I can only say that she has no hope anymore."

"You mean...I have to wait for about three years before it has half the chance of fully recovering."

"Yes, and you need careful care in these three years, Mr. Dix. On the one hand, you should make it exercise more and eat more oats. On the other hand, you should make sure that it cannot hurt its leg again."

"On the one hand, we have to make it run often, and on the other hand, we have to make sure it does not lose its hoof and get hurt? This kind of ghost thing will last for three years?"

"This is the only professional advice I can offer. Mr. Dix. You know, such a serious leg injury, if I change to a doctor, I bet it has no chance of recovery at all."

"I knew, damn it!" Dix lamented.

At this time, Ashu Rufate had approached them. The two had seen him and two sisters. Dix immediately recognized them - whether he remembered Ashu Rufate at the dance, at least he knew the two sisters. With the logic that a normal person had, he immediately inferred the identity of this man.

"Ri'an." Dix said hello. "I should be here to receive you in the living room. I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do."
