Chapter 21: A Sword of Astonishment
Chapter 21: A Sword of Shock
It was late at night and the manor had become quiet. The weather today was not very good. Dark clouds covered the sky like a pot cover, covering the moon and starlight.
The night of the moon and the murderous people is really reasonable!
"Young Master, can this be done?" Belle, who was hiding at the gate of the yard, looked pale and her voice trembled without her control.
Belle had never killed anyone. Although she could send a message to Brigitte without hesitation and ask Brigitte to get rid of Dio, it was one thing to let others do it, and witnessing the bloody disaster with her own eyes was another thing.
There is a saying that scholars are useless, and the principles of the two are the same. Judging from the scholars' inspirational words and guidance on the country, it seems that the whole world can change with their wishes, but if they really want them to do it, it will be revealed. The so-called high-mindedness and low-masters refer to such empty talkers.
"It's okay." Dio, who was standing behind Belle, said lightly: "Go."
Belle had no choice but to grit her teeth in secret and walk slowly towards the yard. Her right hand was holding a black veil. People with good eyes could clearly see that the drooping tail of the black veil was shaking constantly with the trembling rhythm of Belle's fingertips.
"Wait a minute." Dio frowned. Belle's emotions were very unstable, which could easily arouse the other party's suspicion.
"What's wrong? Young Master?" Belle stopped.
"Your task is to say a few words in the past. What's there to be nervous?" Dio made his tone softer: "Then you can leave."
Belle lowered her eyes. She didn't want to be nervous, but she really couldn't control herself.
"Listen to me, start taking a deep breath now." Dio whispered: "Suck your breath and try hard... Yes, hold it in, yes, okay, now start to spit it out slowly, you must vomit it all, yes, that's it, continue!"
As Dio said, Belle kept taking deep breaths and did it more than ten times in a row. Sure enough, she felt that her heartbeat didn't seem that strong.
"Read what you want to say in your heart a hundred times." Dio looked up at the sky: "No hurry, we have time."
At this moment, Belle seemed very well-behaved, acting completely according to Dio's wishes, and kept silently reciting in her heart, repeating more than a hundred times. She raised her head and waited for Dio's next instructions.
"Do you feel much better?" Dio smiled and said, "Go."
Belle took a long breath again, turned around and tiptoed towards the yard.
Baron Jim has also been to this manor before. He knew that the manor was not very large, so in order not to cause trouble for Sophia, he only brought three guards. He thought about it quite thoughtfully. There were already hundreds of people in the manor, and Sophia brought hundreds more. If Baron Jim was also rushing over, Sophia really had no place to accommodate them.
Moreover, Baron Jim is a knowledgeable person. At the beginning, he could show his arrogance without any scruples, but after knowing that his guard was killed by Dio on the spot, he became silent. Not only did he not come to take revenge on Dio, but instead shrank into his yard.
Normally, who is more willing to live barefoot or shoes? Of course, it is the latter, the son of a daughter, who cannot sit in the hall. Baron Jim thinks he doesn't need to risk his troubles with Dio, and wait for Sophia to come back. He is a guest and is treated impolitely here. Sophia, as the master, has to give him an explanation.
From a philosophy of life, Baron Jim's reaction is reasonable. If the other party is a harmless reptile, he doesn't mind trampling to death. When he realizes that he may be stung, he becomes cautious.
After a moment, Belle had already walked to the back window, looked back at Dio who was following behind him, then held her breath and carefully hung the black gauze on the window.
Dio approached and gently pressed the small iron nail on the gauze with his fingertips. After more than ten years of tempering of source power, his **t had already become very powerful and had almost no strength. The small iron nail had been deeply trapped in the window frame, allowing the black gauze to be tightly attached to the glass.
Then Dio nodded to Belle, Belle stretched out his finger and gently tapped the glass twice: "Mr. Onner? Onner??"
"Who? Is it Miss Belle?" The questioning came from the room. Obviously, the warrior inside heard Belle's voice.
"It's me." Belle said softly: "I got a message, but the Baron is already asleep. I can't disturb him. You should go and tell him tomorrow."
During the day, Belle had already contacted Baron Jim and expressed her resentment. Jim was worried that she could not put a nail next to Sophia and would definitely not miss the opportunity. He expressed deep sympathy to Belle, as well as his anger and hatred for Dio, and made a vow on the spot that he would avenge Belle. Of course, Belle, as the person involved, could not sit by and watch, and she also had to do her own efforts, such as appropriate transmission of information, and Miss Sophia's movements, etc.
"What news?" The man in the room walked to the window and lowered his voice: "Miss Bella, come in and talk."
"No... it's not very convenient." Belle obviously hesitated: "Let's talk about it here."
The man in the room was stunned, and then suddenly realized that in the middle of the night, if Belle entered his room, would he come to convey the message or have an affair? It would be so bad! Moreover, Belle has always been clean and will definitely not risk his reputation being tainted.
"I understand." The man said politely: "Please tell me what news?"
"Miss Sophia..." Before she could finish her words, Belle had already shut her mouth because all her lines ended here. But at this moment, Dio suddenly stretched out his left hand, used his fingertips to open Belle's skirt, stretched his palm in, and pinched Belle's butt lightly and heavily. The sudden movement made Belle exclaim: "Ah..."
"Miss Belle?" Hearing Belle's exclamation, the man in the room hurriedly put it on the window and looked out.
A layer of black veil was hung outside the window. In the late night, the black veil was enough to cut off all the light. The men in the room could not see anything. The more they could not see, the bigger their eyes became, and the more focused they were. This reaction was uncontrollable and completely instinct.
The long sword in Dio's right hand floated quietly, and a faint sword light drew out in the air, stabbing the window.
Bang... The sound of the cracking of glass seemed particularly harsh in the darkness. The stunning sword light pierced the glass, and it pierced the left eye of the man in the room with great accuracy and penetrated his brain.
It’s not that the man’s power is too weak, but Dio’s design is too sinister. If it is an extremely powerful warrior, he must react after discovering the danger. The black veil cuts off all the light, and the glass cuts off the flow of air. The man can’t sense anything! Moreover, Dio’s sword was extremely fast, and the man’s eyes were almost pressed on the glass. From stabbing the glass to stabbing the man’s eyes, the distance of the long sword running was only a few millimeters, and the time it took only a dozen milliseconds, which was far beyond the reaction limit of the creature.
It was not until Dio's long sword had pierced his head that he reacted. A dazzling red light suddenly lit up and enveloped his body. The glass on the window was shattered by the expansion of the source force field, turning into countless sharp debris and flying outwards. Unfortunately, this was his last masterpiece.
Vasily, who was secretly observing Dio, felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. If it were him, would he survive? He didn't know! What would happen if Dio had the same source power as him?!
Dio's left hand was still on Belle's buttocks, and with force, he turned his body and hugged Belle in his arms. The broken glass that flew over fell on his back like raindrops.
Dio's pupils suddenly shrank, and then returned to normal. He could feel a stinging pain. Is this the real combat power of the Light Warrior?!
The source force field released by the man alarmed many people, and a loud shout came from the room on the other side: "Who?" Then Baron Jim's scream: "Come...Come..."
Dio carried Belle on his shoulder and rushed out of the courtyard with great strides. However, no one came out to chase after him. Baron Jim only brought three guards, two of whom died one after another. The remaining guard's primary responsibility was to protect Baron Jim, and it was impossible for him to stand out.
After rushing out of the yard, he ran for more than ten meters and saw a group of warriors rushing over, and the leader was Feders.
Vasily was right. Sometimes, Dio's performance was indeed too calm, even close to perverts. He actually smiled at Feders and then rushed onto a small path.
Feders was stunned. What was Dio doing? He forced the girl to steal?! The warriors were also at a loss.
"Sir, that...that seems to be Miss Belle!" A warrior screamed in surprise.
What? A cold sweat broke out on Feders' forehead. Although Belle was saved by you, Dio, it was too much to do so? Moreover, even if you really want Belle, you have to ask Miss Sophia for permission first. He actually took the robbery seriously. He didn't take the law of the Count's title seriously!
"We'll chase!" Feides shouted. He had to bring Belle back from the clutches, otherwise, how should he face the angry Sophia?
"Slowly, don't disturb the good things of the young people." Vasily, who had a strange smile, walked out of the shadow. Tonight, Dio will leave the manor, and he will leave with him, so he has no worries.
"Who are you?" Feders found that the other party looked familiar, stared at Vasily for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Vasily was the chef recently hired by Dio.
"Go away!" a warrior shouted bluntly.
"Have you ever told you that the person who teaches you to become a samurai? You need to be a person with cultivation, and being a successful samurai requires cultivation even more." Vasily stretched out his hand with a smile.
