"Please stop!" Xia Lei suddenly said, holding his stomach, looking very nervous and embarrassed.
The assistant teacher frowned and said, "Mr. Marley, what can you do?"
"My stomach hurts!" Xia Lei said anxiously: "Stop the car quickly, stop the car quickly!"
"Professor Feng Kalen's house has a bathroom, I can drive faster." The assistant professor kicked the accelerator.
"I can't help it anymore! Stop!" Xia Lei shouted.
"What's wrong with you? You're rude." The assistant coach still didn't stop, but his speed was getting faster and faster.
Linda also looked at Xia Lei with a strange look. Although she didn't say anything, she was obviously slightly unhappy with Xia Lei's behavior just now.
Little did she know that Xia Lei instead of restraining himself, actually went too far. He said, "Okay then, I'll pull you into the car!"
This sentence still worked, and the assistant coach stopped the car with one kick.
As soon as the car stopped, Xia Lei hurriedly opened the door and ran into the woods on the roadside.
"Miss Linda, your friend is really vulgar, without any courtesy or grace." The teaching assistant looked very unhappy.
Although Linda thought so in her heart, she said: "Please don't talk about my friend behind his back. You don't know him at all."
A sneer appeared on the corner of the teaching assistant's mouth, and he stopped talking to Linda. He glanced at the woods on the roadside and happened to see Xia Lei take off his pants and squat down. He looked away in disgust.
Just when he looked away, Xia Lei, who was squatting at the foot of the tree, took out his satellite phone. As soon as the call was connected, he said: "Where are you?"
"We are five kilometers away from you." Elena's voice.
"Act immediately." Xia Lei said: "I suspect that I have found the real headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers. You should immediately locate my position and move closer to me."
"Received, we will arrive at your current location in thirty minutes." Elena's voice.
"Remember, don't launch an attack rashly. After you arrive at my current location, wait for my next instructions."
"Received." Yelena ended the call.
The Knights Hospitaller were both allies and enemies to him. If he lets the Zodiac Team attack here, the Hospital Knights will immediately become enemies. And this is the real headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers. Once they break up and exchange fire, it will be a terrible thing.
Arthur once said that the Holy Palace on the island of Malta is guarded by a hundred elite knights, not to mention ordinary armed knights like Giovanna. In this land, the Knights Hospitaller is like an invisible kingdom, and the few people he brings are simply not enough to see. Therefore, he has only one option, which is to outwit but not defeat him. He actually asked the members of the Zodiac Team to come over for one purpose, which was to respond to him and prepare for the next move, not to fight.
Xia Lei returned to the car a few minutes later. He looked much more relaxed, "Haha, it's finally done. I'm much more comfortable now. Let's go."
"Do you think we want to hear you talk about this? It's boring." The assistant teacher gave Xia Lei a contemptuous look, then started the car and drove towards the castle.
The gate of the castle is a mixture of wood and iron. It is treated with traditional craftsmanship and can withstand the impact of the battering ram. It is very strong. But just like this, a door that weighed at least one ton was pushed open by an old man dressed like a gardener with both hands.
"Thank you, Father William Arthur." The assistant coach put his head over and greeted the old man who opened the door.
The old man named William Arthur just nodded slightly.
Xia Lei glanced at him and suddenly felt that he and Arthur had some concerns. His heart moved, "Is this old man related to Arthur by blood?"
The old man's gaze also moved to Xia Lei, his eyes sharp.
Xia Lei avoided his gaze.
After getting out of the car, the assistant teacher took Xia Lei and Linda into the hall of the castle.
There was an old man with white hair standing in the hall of the castle. He was tall and looked very strong. He looks like a European version of Shi Boren. Not only is his body somewhat similar, but his aura is also somewhat similar.
"Hello, Professor Feng Kalen." Linda greeted with respect and walked towards Feng Kalen.
"Hello, Miss Linda." Feng Karen hugged Linda and then kissed her cheek. "I already know about Professor Aman's misfortune. I am very sad. I know you are also very sad, but Please don’t be sad. Professor Aman is a good man and he has returned to the arms of Heavenly Father. We will be able to see him in heaven in the future.”
"Well, thank you, Professor Feng Karen." Linda turned sideways, "This is my friend, his name is Ma Lei, from China. He helped me. Without him, I might have encountered something unexpected."
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Marley." Feng Kalun walked up to Xia Lei and took the initiative to extend a hand to shake Xia Lei's hand.
"Hello, Professor Feng Karen." Xia Lei shook hands with him in a very polite manner.
"Mr. Marley, we will talk later. I want to talk to Linda alone." Von Kallen said.
"Okay, can I look around here? I have never seen such an ancient castle." Xia Lei said.
"Of course, do you need me to ask someone to be your guide?"
"That's no trouble, I'll just walk around." Xia Lei said.
"Well, please do as you please." Feng Kalen turned and left, saying: "Linda, please come with me, let's go to my study to talk."
"Okay." Linda glanced at Xia Lei, then followed Feng Kalen and left.
Xia Lei walked towards the door of the hall.
"Mr. Marley, I have to remind you that this is a private place and not accessible from anywhere. Also, please pay attention to protecting the environment here and don't spit anywhere," the assistant teacher said. He looked at Xia Lei with eyes full of disgust and disdain.
Racism, that seems to be it.
From the look in his eyes and what he said, Xia Lei couldn't help but give him a kick if he was outside. But he still endured it and smiled, "No problem, I will pay attention."
After walking out of the hall, Xia Leisi took a look and then walked towards a clock tower. It is the tallest building in this castle, and there is a bronze bell hanging on it, which looks very ancient. He walked towards the bell tower.
The assistant coach followed Xia Lei from a distance, his face gloomy.
When he reached the entrance of the bell tower, Xia Lei stopped and looked back at the assistant teacher, "I don't need a guide, why are you following me?"
The teaching assistant said indifferently: "I'm worried that you will pollute the environment here. If you behave inappropriately, I will stop you."
"Flies." Xia Lei cursed in Chinese.
"What did you say?" The assistant's face became even more gloomy.
Xia Lei's left eye twitched slightly and he stripped off the assistant's clothes in an instant. He saw the octagonal cross emblem tattooed on his chest. This guy was indeed a member of the Knights Hospitaller. He didn't have a gun on him, but he had an Italian standard saber.
"It's nothing. If you want to follow, just follow." Xia Lei entered the bell tower.
The assistant coach did not follow Xia Lei up to the bell tower. He stood below and waited.
Xia Lei climbed up the bell tower and had a panoramic view of the entire castle. After observing the overall view of the castle, he moved his gaze to the direction he came from. As far as the eye could see, the valley was silent. Dense vegetation blocked his view, and he could not see where his men were. But according to the time that Yelena said, the people from the Zodiac Team must already be near the castle. He couldn't see them, but they could pinpoint his location based on satellite positioning.
Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Xia Lei shifted his gaze to the main body of the castle. His left eye twitched slightly, awakening his clairvoyance ability and conducting internal reconnaissance of the castle.
He avoided the thick stone walls and only saw through the roof, doors and windows.
What he could see most clearly was naturally the interior of the top floor of the castle, because his sight only needed to penetrate the roof to get a glimpse of the situation below.
Two minutes later he found Fon Kallen's study and saw Fon Kallen and Linda talking inside.
But just when he was about to use lip reading to decipher the conversation between the two, a woman entered the study from the door. Seeing her face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
The woman who just entered his sight was none other than Stella, one of his four female knights with zero loyalty.
Stella was wearing medieval maid-style clothing and holding a silver tray with two cups of coffee in her hand.
Xia Lei's heart moved, and he secretly asked: "Were the four of them treated as maids when they came back? Such a punishment is really cruel for proud women like them."
Stella put down her coffee, turned and left. She walks with a slight limp.
Xia Lei's left eye locked on Stella, increasing the intensity of perspective, and in an instant the classical clothes she was wearing disappeared from sight. This perspective startled him. Her body was covered with marks of whipping. The wounds looked fresh and oozing blood. There was a wound on her left knee that had not healed. The wound could not be adhered and showed signs of inflammation. It was apparently the reason she walked with a limp.
Xia Lei felt some sympathy in his heart, but mostly he was happy, "Fight well, so that you will understand who treats you well. In Siberia, I spent three million US dollars to save you. In exchange for the Knights Hospitallers , I’m afraid the ransom of thirty thousand US dollars will not be paid for you, right?”
Stella walked out of the study, she closed the door carefully, and then limped towards the end of the corridor.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the end of the corridor, and he saw a staircase going down.
A woman is kneeling on a wooden staircase scrubbing the stairs.
This woman turned out to be Giovanna.
Giovanna was also wearing a medieval-style maid outfit, raising her buttocks and wiping with a rag dipped in water. There were obvious bruises on her face, and one eye socket was black and blue.
Xia Lei also looked through her body. The condition of her body was the same as Stella's, full of whipping scars, the wounds were covered with cloth, and there were signs of inflammation and bleeding.
He couldn't help but frown, "It's really cruel. He was beaten so hard without treatment. If such an injury is not treated, inflammation and suppuration may occur at any time, which may lead to death. However, Fight well, and the more the Hospitallers torture you, the more you will understand the goodness of your new masters.”
Stella and Giovanna passed by each other with only eye contact and no words. The two proud female knights seemed to have been tortured to the point of losing their original vigor.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze, returned to the study and continued to focus on Professor Feng Karen and Linda, and then used lip reading technology to interpret the conversation between the two.
