Chapter 244 Lauder: This is a family heirloom left by my grandfather! (seeking subscription)

  William's actions were faster than everyone expected. Almost in the evening of the same day, Cody had already returned to the manor with the invitation letter.

  Since Lynn is still in the port of Iyeta on the surface, Lauder and Orlando are responsible for the management of the entire royal capital.

"Now that the Holy See has set up sentries at every entrance of the capital, it may not be convenient for Lord Aldolan to go there, so please come with me yourself, Mr. Lauder!" Cody gave a very reasonable reason. , so reasonable that it is impossible to refuse.

   "If that's the case, let's go!" Lauder snorted coldly, took his protective walking stick, touched the ring in his hand, and followed William's men into the carriage alone.

  Lauder's courage to go to the meeting alone made Cody secretly admire. If possible, he didn't want to confront that Lord Lynn.

  It's a pity that these wizards can't compete with the Holy See at all, and they will be destroyed sooner or later. Lord William is also determined to turn to the embrace of the Church.

  The carriage drove slowly on the uneven road, with the imprint of the William family on the body, passed the city gate very smoothly, and soon arrived at the gate of the mansion.

  From the outside, this is an ordinary manor, even compared to its owner's huge financial resources, it can only be described as low-key.

   But when he really entered it, Lauder realized that this is simply a small fortress, which is very tightly guarded. As William's hiding place, there may be underground palaces, tunnels, etc...

   Lauder thought to himself, they didn't just go to see William this time, it would be bad if the other party ran away.

  However, just before entering the gate of the fortress, a group of guards suddenly surrounded him. The leader was a man who looked like a mouse. He stopped in front of Lauder and said with a smile.

   "Please stop now, Mr. Lauder! Before meeting Lord William, there is one more process. We need to confirm that you are not carrying any dangerous weapons."

   "Are you going to search?" Lauder's face suddenly became very ugly.

   "Do you know who I am? But your lord, Viscount William, personally invited me!" Lauder yelled angrily, and then turned to look at Cody. "What on earth does this mean?"

  Cody's face became a little embarrassed, and he said to ease the atmosphere. "Multe, isn't that good?"

   "We are not malicious, we just want to ensure the safety of the conversation, that's all!" The smile on the face of the man named Muerte remained unchanged, but there was an unquestionable tone in his mouth. "This is also Lord William's order!"

   While speaking, the surrounding guards also surrounded him, blocking all his escape routes.

  Laud was so angry and angry that the crutch in his hand paused heavily on the ground a few times, and even threatened that he would leave now!

   "Of course it's okay, but it's a bit late now, and I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the capital without our carriage to see you off." Muerte said politely.

  Laud stared at the other party, always keeping his purpose in mind, and in the end he didn't dare to act rashly and said dissatisfied. "I can assure you that I am not carrying any dangerous weapons."

"Guarantees alone are not enough!" Muerte shook his head, motioned the guards to step forward, and quickly found a small crossbow bolt, two daggers, and a small bag of alchemy that could blind people from Lauder's body. powder.

   Is this what you mean by not carrying a dangerous weapon?

  Everyone present looked strange.

   "These are just some self-defense tools, not weapons for attack." Lauder explained with a very thick skin.

The two guards on the side took his walking stick and looked over and over again, but they couldn't find the usage of this thing for a while. In addition, Lauder kept emphasizing that his artificial leg was not very good, so the guards had to return it. .

   "Can I go in now?" Lauder snorted coldly as he took back his protective walking stick.

   "There is one thing left!" Muerte's eyes quickly focused on Lauder's right index finger. "The ring on your hand, if I'm not mistaken, it should be an alchemy item, right? The pattern on it should be more than just a simple decoration."

   "This is my family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. It is very precious, and I will never give it to anyone else!" Lauder said firmly, holding the ring in his hand tightly.

   "I assure you, when I leave the castle, it will be returned to you unscathed!" Muerte said confidently. "This is just to keep the conversation safe!"

   Safety shit!

  Laud cursed secretly in his heart. Compared with the anger he pretended just now, he is really a little panicked now. After all, this [Ring of the Mystic] is what he really relies on.

   But Muerte obviously didn’t just talk about it. The dozen or so guards around him were staring at him. His sturdy body and the long knife hanging around his waist were all threats.

While Lauder was arguing with Muerte, he hesitated whether to do it or not. He originally thought that coming alone would let the other party relax their vigilance and meet William smoothly, but he didn't want to make a life-or-death decision when he arrived at the door. when.

  Suddenly, Lynn's voice rang in his ears.

"give him!"

   I don't know if it was because there were other people beside him, but Lynn's words were so concise that he almost thought he had heard it wrong.

But... Lauder's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which was not in line with the original plan. He knew very well that although Lynn could help him in the form of magic incarnation, judging from the previous situation, he had a weakness, that is, he could not leave him. The ring is too far away.

   He doesn't know the specific range yet, but it should not exceed fifteen meters!

   Once you lose the [Ring of the Mystic], you will be in danger next time.

   But the situation on the field obviously did not allow him to think too much. After struggling for about three seconds, Lauder finally handed over the ring as Lynn ordered.

   "Keep it safe for me. If I find any problem with it when it comes out, you will die!" Lauder said viciously.

   "Of course, I will protect it with my life!" Muerte said jokingly, and then stepped aside. "Cody, take this Mr. Lauder in!"

   "Mr. Lauder, please! Lord William is already waiting for you inside." Cody said shyly.

  Laud paused heavily on his crutches, snorted dissatisfiedly, and followed Cody into the room nervously.
