Count of Wizards

In order to keep these secret passages from being known to outsiders, Del Ferguson, the head of the Ferguson family at the time, decided at the suggestion of the family elders that these secret passages should not be used in common, but according to the status of the family. Use separately.

The elders of the family have the secret passages of the elders of the family, the core members of the family have the secret passages of the core members, and the head of the family and his heirs and relatives also have other secret passages. These secret passages are not connected. They are also different, so that the secrecy can be kept to the greatest extent, and it can also be guaranteed to the greatest extent that the family will not be taken over by others!

Hundreds of years have passed since the secret passage was built. Coupled with the stability of the empire’s rule and the establishment of a legal society, the secret passage in the Ferguson Manor is less and less effective than the initial expectations. But at this moment of crisis, the Secret Way is the greatest hope of Chief Steward Martine and even the entire Ferguson family!

As the chief steward of the family and the elder of the family, Martinez can only leave through the secret passage of the elder according to the rules, but he does not intend to do so. The reason is very simple. In his eyes, the organizer of the manor conspiracy, who implemented Both Bernardo and Domenech are the elders of the Ferguson family, and they know the location and route of the elder's secret passage, and then the man in black did not find himself in the manor, so they are very It is possible that under the instructions of the two of them, they will go to the secret passage of the elders to intercept themselves.

After leaving the grass, the butler Martinez was not in a hurry to find the secret passage. He quietly came to a small bungalow where the handyman lived in the manor, took off his clothes, put them in the stove and burned them, and put on a new one. Putting on the clothes of a handyman, and smearing a little pot ash on his face, trying to cover up his appearance as much as possible, making himself look like an old and stupid handyman, not a family elder, a big man with great power housekeeper.

Disguising his identity, Butler Martinez flicked his fingers on the black cane lightly. Following the movements of Butler Martinez, the only weapon in his hand now—the mechanism on the black cane seemed to be activated. Under the force of the butler Martinez, it turned into a short stick the length of a palm, and was hidden in the sleeve by the butler Martinez.

After doing these things, the butler Martinez left the bungalow where the handyman lived, and walked slowly towards the northeast corner of the manor. On the road that the butler Martinez walked, groups of men in black were rushing Running around, according to Domenech's order, they searched for Butler Martinez in every corner of the manor, but these people could never imagine that the target of their search was right beside them.

After walking for about ten minutes, the butler Martinez, who was disguised as an old handyman, came to a garbage dump. Because of the huge area of ​​Ferguson Manor, there are two garbage dumps in the manor. It is used to collect and transport the garbage generated in the manor. One is located in the southwest corner of the manor, and the other is the garbage dump in the northeast corner where the steward Martinez has arrived.

After arriving at the garbage dump, the butler Martinez did not act in a hurry, but looked around and saw that there were no men in black around him, so he started his action, and came to the worker's toilet at the garbage dump according to his memory. Looking at the stinking toilet, instead of showing any expression of disgust, the butler Martinez showed a hint of joy in his eyes...

Arriving at the door of the tightly locked tool room in the toilet, the butler Martinez, who is a great knight, knocked off the door lock very easily with a clean hand knife, walked in, and looked at the inside of the tool room. , such as mops, brooms and other toilet tools, Martinez searched for something in these tools while recalling his memory.

Soon the butler Martinez found what he was looking for, a rough but solid hammer. After getting this hammer, the butler Martinez didn't hesitate, and started to look for the hammer in the tool room. The wall on the right side was smashed, and I don't know what is so magical about this seemingly ordinary hammer. The side of the tool room is made of steel and cement. The very strong wall looks like it has been covered with tofu. Like slag, after being hit by the hammer a few times, a big gap was opened, and through this big gap, one could vaguely see that behind this wall was a large black wall. iron gate!

A few more hammers came down, butler Martinez directly removed the wall, exposing all the big iron gate behind the wall. This big iron gate is about two meters high and one meter wide, except for the iron gate In the center, there is a keyhole, and there is no mark on the iron door.

Seeing the appearance of the iron gate, the butler Martinez kept the hammer aside, and a complex look appeared in his old eyes. There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of books stored by the Ferguson family. But without exception, there is no record of this iron door in any classics. This iron door and its current location only exist in word of mouth passed down by the owners of the Ferguson family!

The whole body of this iron door is forged with fine steel. Once the door is locked, unless there is an exclusive way to open the door, it is difficult to blow the iron door open even with tons of black powder. Behind the iron gate is the Ferguson Manor, where the most secret secret path of the Patriarch is. According to the secret path of the Ferguson Family belonging to the patriarch and the first successor, only the Patriarch himself can know it, and then the first digital heir will be able to learn about it. At that time, he personally handed over to the first successor.

Although he is the family steward and a member of the family elders, according to the rules, Martinez did not know the location of this secret passage before, but more than a year ago, Connor's father was the Earl of Ferguson Alfredo Ferguson, when he was seriously ill, knew that his time was running out, and seeing that Connor had not returned to the family for a long time, he felt desperate, fearing that he would not see Connor return when he was alive.

Therefore, in order not to let the secret of the owner of the Ferguson Manor be lost, Alfredo Ferguson made a bold decision. He broke the secret of the owner of the Ferguson family, and the then owner informed the first heir According to the tradition, Martinez made an exception and told him the location of the Patriarch's secret channel to the most trusted butler, Martinez, who worked hard for the Ferguson family and worked hard all his life. He hoped that after his death, the butler Martinez would replace Ferguson. Tell Connor the secret of the Patriarch's secret passage in the manor.
