Wizard of science

night.

The small town of Dognag.

The mansion of Count Dogger in the center of the city was brightly lit, and servants came in and out, but they didn't dare to take a breath. The air pressure in the entire mansion was frighteningly low.

In the study at the deepest part of the mansion, there was a person sitting on a large wooden chair made of black walnut.

An old man.

Earl Dogger.

From the looks of it, Earl Dogger is over fifty years old, with some gray hair. He is extremely thin, and the skin on his face is beginning to show signs of sagging. With his vicious face, he seems to be a skinny wolf that has wormed its way into a person's body. Similar.

Earl Dogger was sitting on his seat with his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed. His back was a little rickety and his body was swaying slightly.

He remained like this for an unknown amount of time before he suddenly opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of triangular eyes, staring at the door of the study - he had already heard the soft footsteps coming from outside the door.

Sure enough, the next moment, the study door was carefully opened, and a servant walked in.

"How is it?" Earl Dogger asked, his voice hoarse, sounding like there was a mouthful of phlegm in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, there is still no news." The servant replied cautiously.

After hearing this, Earl Dogger frowned instantly, and the whole flesh of his face was pulled at the same time: "No news? No news at all?"

"No……"

"No news from the waterway?"

"Nothing has been found so far."

"What about on land? No trace found?"

"No, no one has provided any clues."

"Where are the other old guys? There's no news?"

"There is no news from Allen, Bona and other adults."

"That's weird!" The flesh on Earl Dog's face was almost pulled together. "They are just a mother and daughter. At most, they have a few incompetent subordinates. There are only a few ways to escape back to Lensa. , how could it just disappear? You even made a move at the dock, and then why did you suddenly disappear? You can’t just turn into air, or evaporate out of thin air, right?!

Besides, the mother and daughter could not be found. Mengsi and the others couldn't find them, and there was no news about them? There are more than a hundred of them. No matter what happens, they can always send someone back to tell them, right? Even if they are all dead, they can still leave their bodies, right? How is it possible that a piece of it has disappeared? ! "

The more Earl Dog spoke, the more excited he became, spitting everywhere. The servant next to him did not dare to interrupt at all. He let Earl Dog vent his anger and lowered his head again and again, almost to the floor.

After a while, Earl Dog's anger finally calmed down. He looked at his men again and gave the order: "Search, continue to send me people to search, search all common and uncommon places. I don't believe it." , that mother and daughter, and more than a hundred people in Mons, can’t leave nothing behind, right?”

"Yes." The servant nodded quickly.

Earl Dogger thought for a moment and then said: "Not only will we continue to send people to search, but we will also send more people to search! Send all the remaining people out, even if we search the entire territory, we must find them. , life or death!"

"This..." At this time, there was hesitation on the servant's face.

"What, is there a problem?" Count Dogger frowned deeply and asked.

"My Lord Earl, it's okay to continue sending people to search, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to send more people."

"Why?"

"We don't have enough people."

"not enough people?"

"Sir, you see, we suffered more than ten casualties at the dock. Lord Mons disappeared with his team, and we temporarily lost more than a hundred people. In addition, it is tax season now, and those disobedient farmers will not be able to survive at all. If they don’t want to pay the taxes obediently, they must be taught a lesson, and this occupies a lot of people.”

"Then there should be some leftover."

"Sir, you have forgotten that the remaining people have been sent to the south of the territory. The lunatic disease in the south is getting more and more serious. We must keep an eye on the territory and prevent it from spreading in. Otherwise, we still don't know what's going on. as a result of."

"Mad man's disease? Well, I remembered it." Count Dogger nodded lightly, "But then again, is mad man's disease really as scary as the rumors say? Does it need so many people to guard against it?"

"My Lord Earl, I heard from several businessmen who came back from the south that madman's disease is more serious than we thought at first. Everyone who suffers from madman's disease will go insane and attack everyone around them like a wild beast, even if they are My loved ones will not be spared. In the end, my body will explode and die in a state of madness."

"Hey~ Is that so... By the way, I heard that most of the people suffering from this crazy disease are children? There are very few adults?"

"Yes, they are basically children. No one can explain the specific reason. Although there is no lunatic disease in the territory now, the citizens do not dare to let their children out to play."

"It's really weird... Speaking of which, that Marquis Owen is quite unlucky. It was obviously just a disease that would kill children, but he got it, and that's why he got all the things that happened later..."

"In this case..." Earl Dogger pondered for a long time, looked at the servant again, and ordered, "In this case, we will not send more manpower. We will continue to maintain the current manpower and search for me with wide eyes. In addition, search for those few The old guy sent a message asking them to send people to my territory to help. Each person should send at least 60... no, at least 80 people and be responsible for their own food."

"If those adults refuse..."

"They dare! Tell them that if they don't agree, I will withdraw from this operation! Let them make it clear that it is their son's fiefdom that depends on that unlucky Owen, not my son's territory. I only have one nephew who is close to that unlucky Owen. It’s just relatively close!”

"Yes, sir." The servant did not dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.

…

Same night.

the other side.

In the darkness, the endless darkness, the consciousness of the noble girl Fleur suddenly awakened.

Her body felt heavy and her head felt heavy, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. The process was uncomfortable and made her feel very tired.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty and looked around. Her vision was a little blurry, and everything she saw was in chaos.

After a while, she finally returned to normal and found that she seemed to be in a clearing in the forest.

Yes, in a forest clearing.

There are lush trees all around, with their roots standing tall and upward.

It was already very late, the night sky was pitch black, and the wind blowing around her had a bit of coolness, which made her tense up.

Fortunately, there was a bonfire burning nearby, bringing her some warmth.

Feeling the soreness in muscles all over her body, Fleur struggled to get up, and then saw several people lying on the ground not far from her.

It was her mother, Mrs. Issa, and Barton.

"Mom, Uncle Barton, Uncle Lom..." Fleur was startled, quickly approached, tried to shake the group of people, and kept calling their names.
