The warden who guards the witches

The carriage was swaying up the slope, and the driver drove the horses slowly to make the carriage go more steadily. The slope was not steep and the road was flat, but the horses still had a hard time.

The driver felt that the client who booked this large carriage today should be a young and promising entrepreneur. He not only brought a female companion and bodyguards with him, but also a group of maids. His destination was this luxurious winery on the outskirts of the city, as if he was going to a banquet.

However, this entrepreneur was really a bit weird. His female companion did not wear a beautiful dress, but a set of canvas clothes and pants that were easy to move. She seemed to be... carrying weapons, like a pioneer.

The maids were also very strange. They were wearing shackles without chains on their hands, and one of them had a mask on her face like the bodyguard. If he met him in a pioneering area or a war-torn area, the driver would probably think that this young man was a human trafficker.

However, the coachman was somewhat experienced and knew that some rich people liked to have fun. God knows what kind of strange party was going to be held in the manor, but what did it have to do with him?

Aiden sat in the rented carriage with his arms folded. Precia and Daly sat on the right, and Veronica, Arsenal and Sera sat opposite. The amalgam golem huddled on the floor of the carriage with its legs folded.

"This golem is the best work of Vera and Abigail after all. How do you treat it like this?" Precia said.

"Don't find fault. It doesn't have the concept of sitting at all." Aiden replied calmly, "And this golem is heavier than all of us combined. If it sits on the seat, we all have to squeeze on the other side. How can it sit?"

"If it can't sit, I can sit on your lap, the warden!" Daly said with a smile.

"Humph, you're excited when you're teasing others, but I'm afraid you'll shrink faster than anyone else when you're serious." Aiden didn't even look at her.

"Be quiet, Daly. The prison guard girl on the opposite side is going to pounce on you and bite you." Precia frowned.

"You are so relaxed, you must be very confident about the battle later. I will let you take the lead later." Veronica stared at them and said coldly.

"We are not confident, we just have confidence in the warden." Daly smiled easily.

"To be honest, do you really plan to pin all your hopes on the eloquence of this princess?" Arsenal said coldly, "Are we here to be her thugs this time?"

"As long as the leader is dealt with, the others will be easy. It would be best if we can end this matter without fighting." Aiden replied calmly, "Besides, we may not be able to fight even if we want to."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the manor. Unlike the strict guard state when they came to investigate before, the gate of the manor was open today. The "servants" in formal clothes were lined up on both sides of the gate. The master stood at the gate of the mansion with his hands behind his back, and a thin "butler" was beside him.

Aiden led everyone down the carriage, turned around to pay the fare, and signaled the driver to leave as soon as possible.

"Welcome, Mr. Garold." The "owner" of the manor, Heinz Hoffman, stood at the door with a serious face, and had no intention of coming out to greet them.

Aiden did not tell him the time of his visit, but with the advantage of the manor's vision, they could see a strange carriage approaching from a distance.

"This is the first time to greet you formally, Count Hoffman." Aiden had no intention of entering the gate. He took off his hat and saluted Heinz across the yard. "I am really overwhelmed to receive your invitation. I didn't treat you well last time at my house."

"We will find a way to compensate you for the trouble you have caused, and we will definitely satisfy you." Heinz said, "You came here specially, I can understand that you are ready to agree to the deal, right?"

"Of course, in fact, I don't like to conflict with others casually." Aiden smiled and spread his hands, "The most important thing in managing a prison is to teach prisoners to abide by the rules. Fighting like a prisoner is not my style. Unnecessary blood should be avoided."

"It's great that you think so. It's a pity that we didn't reach a consensus earlier." Heinz nodded, "I am willing to invite all guests to come in and sit down. We have prepared a lot of good wine, but you seem to have brought a stranger."

"I brought six people. I wonder which one you are talking about?" Aiden asked.

"The lady in the mask." Heinz replied.

"It sounds like you know other people." Aiden said.

"I know the last one is your subordinate. To be honest, you bring your subordinates to discuss this kind of thing. I doubt whether you really want to do business with me." Heinz said.

Heinz's condition is that Aiden must commit dereliction of duty and murder. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be leaked casually. The prisoners supervised and used by Aiden are fine. Ordinary subordinate prison guards should not know this kind of handle.

"It seems that you don't know that she is my confidant." Aiden replied, "How much do you know about the others?"

"Well, according to the intelligence I collected, you have cultivated three prisoners in the prison as your confidants, and the remaining three ladies are on our list of attention. In addition, there is a human-shaped magic prop. The tightly wrapped 'Mr.' should be it." Heinz said.

"Your intelligence work is more meticulous than the gangsters. You are worthy of being a spy. It seems that I have to find a way to make the prisoners in the prison more tight-lipped." Aiden replied.

"So who is the masked lady?" Heinz asked.

"It's a surprise prepared for you." Aiden smiled.

"You just said to avoid unnecessary bloodshed." Heinz narrowed his eyes.

Aiden quickly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, the surprise I said is just a literal one, this is a surprise in the true sense."

"What do you mean?" Heinz was confused.

"I think it's too cumbersome to trade like a businessman. You have to bargain and sign contracts. You have to pay attention to pomp and circumstance when entertaining, and then you have to go through procedures for payment and handover... Everyone's time is precious, so I propose that we Let's make the deal happen." Aiden spread his hands.

"How to say?"

"Let's talk alone and settle the deal directly." Aiden smiled.

"Forgive me for refusing. First of all, I really can't be sure whether you are Mr. Garrod. Secondly, I have always brought the reward you asked for, but you did not bring what we asked for. We are still very unfamiliar with you and cannot do credit. Business." Heinz refused coldly.

The deal Heinz and Aiden made was to exchange the words of the Hoffmann family for the mysterious death of Serra Lexia in prison. Only Heinz and Aiden knew the contents of this transaction, and Heinz did not inform his subordinates. The so-called "alone" talk is nothing more than asking him to teach the divine words first. Of course, he cannot agree to this condition.
