Powell leaned on the soft and comfortable cloth cushion sofa, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and allowed the crimson wine to rotate on the wall of the glass, overflowing with fruity sweetness.
Take a deep breath, the smell of wine is already intoxicating.
This relaxed feeling is too rare for spies who often run around dangerous borders. But it is precisely because it is rare that Powell likes it very much.
He not only likes the wine produced in Green Valley Town, the beautiful cushions from Cormyr in the south, but also the quietness in the illusion hut.
Powell was deeply fascinated by the silence in this storm. In particular, this storm was stirred by him, and it made him feel that he had a certain secret method to make the world move according to his own will.
Illusionist Johnson is sitting on the other side of the cabin, feeding gems to the pet owl.
The damn flat-haired beast was extremely picky, picking up on the food his owner gave him, and groaning constantly, judging the current situation with a noisy voice.
"Don't you worry that Victor Hugo will come back? The wizards and nobles in the city may not be as powerful as they thought, maybe they are vulnerable?"
Powell ignored the bird and poured the wine from the glass into his mouth. It feels really good to be slightly drunk and relax the spirit moderately.
Although Johnson was quite annoying, the kidnapping did not succeed. But this guy's ability to pick things is really good, and one move will mess up the situation in the city.
The inspectorate has pulled the brigade out of the city, which is bound to trigger a strong backlash from the nobles in the city. The two sides are already full of contradictions, and it is impossible not to fight at this time.
Powell has already thought about it. If there is not enough trouble in the city, he will sneak out and assassinate several times.
There is no need to choose any important person, even if it is to randomly kill a few noble servants or civilians and poor ghosts, it is enough to add fuel to the fire and make one party lose his mind.
I have to say, such a good idea, why didn't I think of it before
Happy in heart makes life comfortable. It doesn't matter even if you are trapped in the cabin.
The owl refused to let Powell go, and continued to croak: "Poor ghost, drink less, that wine is very expensive. Wouldn't you come here to drink specifically?"
Powell got angry and asked Johnson: "Your pet lacks discipline."
"It's called Dudu, that's the temper. Even I mocks." The illusionist didn't care about the bird teasing himself, "Come on, say something that makes me unhappy."
The owl lifted his paw and pushed his master's finger away, and grumbled: "Idiot, don't be too happy. You two don't look like big business people. Maybe the spoiler helped Hugo instead."
"Have you seen it, my demon pet has so much personality." Johnson laughed cheerfully, "but the nobles in the city are not some good-tempered forces.
There will certainly be dissatisfaction when the patrol team has closed the city. Maybe there is already a certain powerful person who felt suffocated and killed the soldiers of the inspection office.
Hugo encounters this situation, will he turn his face on the lives of a few untouchables? It's not good to turn it, and it's not good not to turn it, I'm embarrassed for him. "
Hahaha's laughter echoed in the illusion hut.
Powell grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass, and laughed. He imagined the predicament facing the enemy, and he was very happy.
The laughter reached its highest point, and suddenly a louder voice was suppressed in the air. The sound was magnificent, like the night breaking open, and the gods descended.
"The residents of Coldwind City,"
Puff...
Powell was almost paralyzed by fright, his chest squeezed, and a sip of wine was spouted under the impact of the air pressure in his lungs. The droplets flew out from the sky, and fell again for a moment, showering his head and face all over.
This lively and self-sufficient.
Johnson was also stunned, his hands and feet still, expressionless. He was carefully distinguishing the source of the sound, hoping that he had auditory hallucinations.
The two difficult brothers looked at each other, not auditory hallucinations.
The magnificent voice continued, "I am Victor Hugo, speaking to you in the Wizard Tower."
Damn it!
The two of them seemed to have fallen into a pan, and suddenly jumped up from their seats. They looked up at the ceiling at the same time, as if a terrible enemy was just above their heads.
"I have an ominous premonition." The owl flapped its wings and flew out of the hut for a circle. After returning, he said calmly: "I have bad news for you. The sound comes from the Wizard Tower.
Victor Hugo controlled the prophecy level at the top of the tower and was speaking to the whole city. I knew that the trash of the Wizarding Group was of little use, and it would be better to count on a group of pigs to count on them. "
"Impossible." Powell exclaimed. He hugged his head, grabbed his hair, and was so shocked that he was unacceptable. "How long is this? Hugo controlled the Wizard Tower? The Wizard Group is worse than pigs."
Johnson was also crazy. He also ran outside the illusion hut and climbed onto the roof disguised as a civilian residence to look out at the darkness of the city center.
There are lights on the top of the wizard's tower, and the outline of the top of the tower can be seen in the usual dimness. After Old Bank left, the top of the tower became bare.
But now the top of the tower has become a hemispherical shape, that is, the prophecy observatory has been raised.
"How could this be?" Johnson's heartbeat was pounding, and the development of the event was unexpected. "How can the chiefs of the wizarding group allow Hugo to control the top of the tower? They..., they..."
Is it dead or surrendered
Powell also ran out, and followed in a daze in the dark.
The owl flew up to the sky, indicating that it could go and inquire about the situation. After more than ten minutes, it came back slowly, and said in a long tone: "The facts are completely in line with my estimation."
Johnson and Powell wished to strangle the bird at the same time, and they shouted in rage, "Hurry up."
The owl grumbled: "I met several people who had fled the wizard's tower. They said that there was turmoil in the tower. The five chiefs joined forces to put pressure on Hugo, but they suffered a tragic counterattack.
The Wizards of Coldwind City were over. They were not dead or surrendered, but they were defeated. The currently fleeing wizards are gathering in the direction of the city lord mansion, probably to unite with Arad and other families in the city to continue to resist.
I continue to make a bold prediction now, where are the nobles in the city better than the wizarding group? Don't overestimate their strength, they might be collapsed. "
The damn owl's tone seemed to be stating the press release, as calm as it was none of its own.
Powell got goose bumps and sweated profusely. Johnson didn't feel well, he was completely stupid. The two of them counted a thousand things, but not at the end of the game at the beginning.
Wait, this is not the end.
Powell turned his head and returned to the illusion hut to pack up, "I have to leave this broken city right away. It's too dangerous to stay here. Especially with you fools and birds, I must be pitted to death."
Johnson grabbed Powell and said, "Where can you go now? The Wizarding Tower monitors the city. Do you think you can't be discovered
Don't forget that those "bad dogs" under Hugo must be looking for us everywhere. Do you have a chance of winning when you meet them? "
Powell is lonely, and of course he has no chance of winning. He was even more angry: "Do I continue to hide in your broken house, waiting to be found by Hugo?"
Johnson shook his head, "Hugo must be staring at the wizards and nobles gathered in the City Lord's Mansion. When they fight, there won't be too much time to watch. Wait, we will consider it after dawn."
This is not unreasonable, Powell calmly thought about it, raised his hand and pointed the owl to beep, "Let your stupid bird stare at the city lord mansion.
As long as there is a fight over there, we will run away immediately. This Cold Wind City really couldn't stay any longer. "
