Chapter 221: Capture of the Witch
Chapter 216 – Operation Capture Witch
“The target this time is Countess Ferrier, once the second leader of the Northlands Witch Alliance, nicknamed the Curse Slayer, as the name suggests, a terrifying witch who is extremely good at curses.” Owen said to Samuey and Shinobu.
“Master is preparing to send out a witch hunt?” Samuy was no stranger to Ferrier, in fact, the famous nobles and forces along the border of the Northland Plus Empire were her targets for probing, and had already seen results, what she wanted to confirm was Owen’s idea.
If just assassination, actually do not need to send out the witch hunt, although the ninja front combat strength and means is not as good as the witch hunt, but more suitable for killing, so the use of the witch hunt to restrain the legal profession has a deeper meaning.
“Right, because I want to catch them alive.” Owen was not swept off his feet even though he chose to retaliate.
If it was any other protagonist, being pitched a handful of times, he was afraid that he would have to kill the other party’s entire family or even massacre the city before he could relieve his anger, but Owen placed himself in the position of a lord, so he could kill people, but it had to be meaningful, and it was even more important to kill an important person to have enough benefits to be able to do so.
Simple assassination of Ferrier is meaningless to Owen, in addition to a mouthful of unnecessary gas, there will not be any additional benefits, and will even lead to some unnecessary trouble, after all, this is the border with the empire and many powerful and noble to maintain quite ambiguous relationship, even the imperial capital have contacts.
Even if it was just a play, it would bring some unnecessary trouble for Owen, and the last thing the Hydra family needed right now was trouble.
However, if the other party is captured and subdued, the benefits are obvious, not only in the border of the empire to obtain an important territory, but also through the other party’s connections as a springboard to enter the empire that Owen’s heart longed for.
Only how to subdue each other is a problem, even Owen does not have a few points of certainty.
With those desperate as in the hell of the downtrodden witch is different, the same is a witch, Ferrier is a countess, not only beautiful as a flower, in the Northland border also has a rich town, and monopolized the Northland fur trade, even if you remove that part of the annual income, but also not a small number, such a want to rely on some small means to subdue each other is not realistic.
“The master may be able to go to Mrs. Amelia and ask.” For such a target person, Samui didn’t have any good methods, so she put forward a suggestion, while Owen heard it and pondered.
Turning around, he went to the magic school, and Owen found Emilee who was sunbathing in the garden.
Because the entire school only Domi assistant teacher a male, so not only to be alone a person living outside the school, but also only when the class can enter the school, after the class immediately leave, so Aimile simply come to a full body sunbathing, to be honest, the white a little bit shaking eyes,, flashing his eyes squinted.
“It’s for Feryl, isn’t it.” Lying down on the special recliner reinforced with steel tubes, Emile lifted her head, swept Owen a glance from the peak, calmly changed her position, trying to let the sunlight evenly pour on her body, and then continued.
“I knew you’d come after I felt the familiar aura of the curse from Mara Town.” Amelia was a pretty good judge of character, knowing that Owen was frugal and wouldn’t easily waste any of the witches he could use.
“Trying to take her in is a troublesome task, after all, every living witch is a huge threat, especially the ones who specialize in curses.” Amelia raised her hand and scratched her head, the shaking made the reflected sunlight keep shining, Owen couldn’t open his eyes even more, his head was full of that.
“I’ll be there this time, or you’ll just have to kill her.” Emile sighed helplessly, after all, together formed the Northland Witch Alliance, even if the relationship is not good, in the case of being able to reach out and help, she is not good to sit back and do nothing.
That night, Amelia and the root of the action personnel to her original farm, here all the personnel were replaced by the system population, and there is an underground secret passage, disguise the whereabouts of not be discovered is not difficult.
Utilizing the Root Department’s intelligence network in the northern border, the group of people quietly and quietly mixed into the town of Ferrier, because now is not the season for trading fur, it seems a lot of lukewarm, even the soldiers on patrol are perfunctory. Maps and other things are ready-made, only need to check the patrol time route there is no change on it.
Waiting for the night, a group of people toward the lord’s mansion to sneak over, capture the witch action began.
Ferrier’s lord’s mansion was located at the back of the town, near the direction of the Empire’s border, as she often entertained guests coming from that direction.
Because she often held banquets, the style of Lord Ferrier’s mansion was more on the side of the imperial capital’s aristocracy, and was mainly luxurious and beautiful, with gardens and statues everywhere, which made it very tasteful at first glance.
This is very popular with the guests, but it is not conducive to defense, and even in order not to expose their identity as witches, this place does not cast sorcery and curses, and even no traps, the defense relies on dozens of soldiers.
“These are all disguises, I’m sure the ones living here are just stand-ins, although Ferrier is obsessed with playing the role of a countess, her own level hasn’t declined, so she must have a hidden place where she studies witchcraft and curses.” Emilee decided it was a decoy after just a few glances.
Shinobu, who was in charge of directing the operation, didn’t raise any objections because her intuition was also telling her that there was something wrong here, so she followed Emile’s instructions and dispatched her men’s witch hunters, and as for the team of ninjas that she brought with her, they were put in charge of the periphery because their specialties were not the right ones.
The witch hunters had the template of demon hunters, but they also received the training of ninjas, even if their skills weren’t refined enough, they still infiltrated the lord’s mansion without any problems with their high perception and superhuman physical fitness.
Even more than ninjas, witch hunters have an unimaginable ability to perceive sorcery and curses, even if the odor is very subtle, it still didn’t escape their search, and accurately found the entrance to the tunnels hidden in the remote corners of the lord’s mansion.
“Trigger sorcery, hidden curses, and special magic potions that seep through, surely there’s a reason why it hasn’t been discovered for so many years.” Emilee could see the entrance just by scanning it, but she didn’t make a move next because the witch hunter didn’t intend to go in through the entrance at all.
Shinobu released a few small snakes, and a moment later moved forward a bit, nailing a handful of bitters on the ground before nodding to Witch Hunter.
Witch Hunter took out a bottle of magic potion and poured it on the position of the bitterness, where the dirt met the magic potion immediately melted like a snowflake, after a bottle of magic potion was poured, the stone wall of the tunnel could already be seen.
From the tight stone wall gaps, the construction is with the heart, but it is useless.
The territory has Amelia the magic potion master, plus Hogwarts thousands of years of accumulation of all kinds of magic potion formulas, the territory’s magic potion variety is very diverse, so there is a magic potion that melts the soil, then the magic potion that melts the rock is naturally also rare.
Here on the use of human inertia thinking, light to build the gate impregnable, but forgot to reinforce the walls, so witch hunters easily sneak into the tunnels, and all the way to crack a variety of sorcery and traps, and smoothly come to Ferrier spent a lot of effort to create the voodoo land.
