Iron Powder and Spellcasters

   Chapter 49 Madman

   The sheriff who hurried to the Serbian House of Ti found that he had run away in vain.

   It turned out to be just a misunderstanding. The young man from the Servetia family smuggled a woman home tonight, but was caught by the rest of the family and mistakenly identified as a thief.

   Although she was tossed a bit, the heavy gold coins of the Major General's wife still dispelled all the grievances of the sheriff. The worried face of the major general's wife also earnestly asked the sheriff not to spread the small disturbance tonight.

The sheriff understands Mrs. Serbia's concerns. She hangs out with unruly women outside before she gets married, and even brings women outside her home. The decent people in the city will not want to marry their daughters to such young people. of.

   "What an ignorant brat." The sheriff thought to himself, "To make such a beautiful lady look sad."

  The sheriff who was inspired to protect him patted his chest and swore by the tombs of his father and grandfather that he would go back to sleep and forget all about tonight's events, and there would never be any wind.

  When Kesha was helping Antonio lie outside the door, Winters "invited" the woman in black back to the guest room on the second floor again - of course, by carrying it.

  Winters put the woman in black on the bed, afraid that she would be uncomfortable and found her a pillow.

   The woman in black didn't make a sound or struggle the whole time, but just stared at Winters with chills in her eyes.

   "I'm so sorry just now." Winters discussed with the woman in black: "I'll take the things out of your mouth, but please don't make a sound."

   The woman in black did not respond.

   "No objection to me when you agree."

   Just now, Winters didn't show mercy at all. When the woman in black shouted "I'm going to kill you", Winters picked up the pillow towel and stuffed her mouth without a word.

When the    was stuffed, Winters used brute force, and stuffed it in together with the black cloth that the woman in black used to cover her face.

   So when I took out the stuff in my mouth, the black cloth that the woman in black used to cover her face was also taken off. This was the first time Winters had the opportunity to take a serious look at the face in front of him.

   He originally thought that this female thief should be between 30 and 40 years old, because she was too decisive and fierce, and obviously had rich experience and practical experience.

  But when the black cloth was removed, Winters realized that she was much younger than she thought, and it seemed that she was only in her early twenties, not much older than herself.

   With delicate features and thin lips, Winters had a hard time imagining that just now such a petite lady was holding a loaded reed gun pointed at him.

   The woman in black with her mouth freed did not shout, but just slowly moved her already stiff chin.

   "In fact, you have been misunderstood all the time, and you and I are not enemies." Winters' attitude was very sincere.

   "Hmph, you are tying me like this now, such words are not convincing." The woman in black replied coldly.

   "If I untie you, won't you and I die immediately?" Winters dragged a chair and sat beside the bed. "We should be able to talk first, Miss Lavoisier."

The name    obviously touched a sensitive nerve in the woman in black. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she said with red eyes and gritted teeth, "I'm not Lavoisier, so don't call me that!"

   Waiting for the woman in black to calm down a bit, Winters asked, "Then what do you want me to call you?"

   She stopped talking all of a sudden.

   "Then what impression do you have of the name Salomelan?"

   The woman in black widened her eyes, but her pupils shrank suddenly. Obviously Winters' words surprised her. She sneered and said, "You don't have to test me in this way, it's not Salomelan, it's Salomeya."

   Anyone with a little knowledge of Army history knows that Lavoisier is the surname of General Antoine Laurent, but only a very few people know that Salomea is the middle name of the general's wife.

   And Winters knows this because, as an admirer of Antoine Laurent, he once had the idea of ​​writing a biography of Antoine Laurent.

  Antoine Laurent's death was so wrong and his contribution was so great that anyone who knows this history would want to blame him.

That was the case with    Winters, who wanted to write a biography of the general and testify for the general.

  So in the few years of military school he read all the public and confidential files about Antoine Laurent that he could get in the archives.

   The performance of the woman in front of her basically confirmed Winters' speculation. Even if she is not a descendant of Antoine Laurent, it is at least inextricably linked with Antoine Laurent.

   In this way, there is an explanation for the unforgettable hatred she shows for the Union Army.

  Because Antoine Laurent was sentenced to death by the Union Army Tribunal—to be precise, the Interprovincial Republic Army Military Tribunal.

   The so-called death of Antoine Laurent is a euphemism for being pushed to the guillotine.

   Sixteen years ago, ten years after the end of the Sovereign War. The Radicals of the Inter-Provincial Republic came to power, and they took control of the military and political power in the Inter-Provincial Republic.

   The radicals shouted "Impossible loyalty is absolute disloyalty", and a brutal purge was launched inside the Piedmont.

  Antoine Laurent, accused of treason, was guillotined after a secret trial for involving Army secrets, and his research manuscripts were lost.

   Field Marshal Ned Smith said sadly and indignantly: "A head like Antoine Laurent can't grow in a hundred years, and it was cut off like this."

   However, Marshal Ned at that time was also unable to protect himself, and was almost sent to the guillotine.

   "You said this notebook is your family's property, how do you prove it?" Winters took out the half-burned notebook, gave the woman in black a look, and put it on the bed.

   "Why should I prove it to you?"

   "Because this is a priceless notebook, I hope you can prove that you are not a thief."

   Winters, if I remember correctly, the woman in black especially hated the word thief.

Sure enough, the black-clothed woman was instantly furious: "Who are you calling a thief? You soldiers are the thieves who stole my father from my mother! And stole his research from my father! In the end, he even killed him. It was stolen too!"

   "Don't get excited, since you used the words 'father' and 'mother', are you the missing daughter of General Antoine Laurent?"

   The woman in black snorted disdainfully.

   "I am not your enemy. If you can prove your identity, I am willing to hand over this note to you." Winters said seriously: "And this dagger."

   said, Winters took out the dagger of the woman in black and put it on the bed.

  It took a great deal of effort for him to take the dagger back from Elizabeth's hand.

   "Then should I also thank you for your generosity? Generously burn my father's notes before returning them to me?" The woman in black said with a sneer.

   Winters said embarrassedly: "Actually, there is still a small half of the book left."

   "Then come closer, I will prove my identity to you." The woman in black said suddenly and calmly.

   Winters got up and approached the bed, but noticed the slightly excited eyes of the black-clothed woman, was surprised, and hurried back.

   But it was too late, the woman in black jumped up from the bed and rushed towards him.

   After all, Winters is still an educated gentleman, and it is impossible to repeatedly check the sensitive parts of women. There are several small silver coins with edged edges hidden on the woman in black, which he did not find.

   The black-clothed woman appeared to talk to Winters just now, but she actually took out a sharp tool in secret and cut open the sheets that bound her hands behind her back, waiting for Winters to relax her vigilance.

   The woman in black grabbed the dagger beside her and stabbed it towards Winters' left flank. She seemed to calm down, but in fact she didn't get out of the hysterical mood at all, she just pretended.

   If she wanted to get away, she could just continue to wait until a moment of solitude, but now she was only thinking about revenge.

   But Winters is no longer the Winters he was on patrol that night. A first-time combatant will be stiff from nervousness and fear, but a veteran will be able to deal with it calmly and calmly. The woman in black failed to kill Winters that night, and certainly not this time.

   The pillow towel that was used to block the mouth of the black-clothed woman was still in Winters' hands, and Winters directly used the pillow towel with his left hand to grab the opponent's hand. Just wanted to punch the opponent's face with his right hand, but it stopped, turning into a two-handed weapon.

   Grabbing the opponent's blade and blade during a fight is a very dangerous act, and it is a way to get out in a hurry. Even if you just want to grab the opponent's wrist, there is a good chance that you will grab the blade.

  The dagger had no iron, and Winters did not grab the wrist, but the palm. Fortunately, there was a pillow towel, otherwise the place where it came into contact with the dagger blade would see blood immediately.

   The woman in black refused to let go, and turned her wrist to cut Winters' arm. Winters was also a little angry, and used his wrestling skills to directly knock the opponent down.

The essence of one-on-one combat is ultimately a battle between two people. The woman in black may be a very powerful assassin, but no matter how ruthless she is, she is only a woman whose strength and weight are far less than that of Winters, and even close combat. Her technique is not as good as Winters, and she was instantly suppressed to the ground by Winters.

   "Calm down!" Winters pressed the black-clothed woman's arm with one hand and the black-clothed woman's shoulder with the other.

   "All of you Union soldiers deserve to die." The woman in black struggled desperately.

   "What does your father's injustice have to do with me?"

   "Splash."

   "The rest of the content is also valuable!"

   The woman in black sneered and said, "Do you think I am doing it for what I wrote in the note? What magic, spellcaster, is worthless to me."

  Winters was completely speechless. He found that there was no way to reason with the lady: "Then why did you grab this notebook?"

   "In order to get my family's property back."

   "Then shall I return this notebook to you?"

   "You've burned it!"

   "Don't you care what's inside?"

   "Then you can't burn it either!"

   "Then how can you be satisfied?"

   "I want it back to the way it was."

   "But the original has been burnt."

"I kill you!"

   "Are you crazy?" No matter whether the woman in black is crazy or not, Winters is already going crazy: "You! Give! Me! Calm! Quiet! One! Point!"

   Winters stopped talking nonsense and tied her up again a few times, this time tighter and tighter than the last time, with a dead knot.

   He pushed the door out and found Elizabeth lying on the door eavesdropping.

I wrote two kinds of directions... a woman in black is not so crazy, a woman in black is more crazy, and finally I chose this kind of crazy chapter. I still like to write about war, so I also wrote these chapters. It was very uncomfortable to write, so I quickly finished and sent Yue Dong to the war.
