Doomsday Code

Chapter 122 Found the Bait

Xiao Dun saw Coulson opening the door and bowed slightly:

"Please do not act rashly, Viscount. My brothers and I are here on the orders of the Earl to capture the soul mage hiding in the city."

At first, Coulson was still wondering what excuse Huidun would come up with, but after hearing what Xiao Dun said, he had to say that this reason was very good.

Previously, Huidun City suffered from the alchemist crisis. Although the undead army outside did not break through the city walls, many civilians died in the city because of the headless knight.

This is nothing for a cultivator, but for those who practice soul magic, Huidun City is an excellent natural place for practice.

Not only does one not have to hide in graves deep in the mountains and forests for fear of being discovered by gravekeepers, but one can also enjoy life in the city while practicing with the souls of dead civilians.

However, although Coulson was suspicious, he did not confront Shorten directly.

Because in the moment when he walked towards the gate of the mansion, he had recalled his past, and he did not show any disrespect towards Huidun.

Although he is a viscount, this title was inherited from his father. The wealth of his Colson family is not as great as that of Baron William's Mansion across the street.

Moreover, it is well known to everyone that Kekeber and Bruce have been close to Huidun in recent months, so Huidun has no financial worries at all now.

So it is impossible that he is causing trouble for me because of money or other reasons.

As for taking away his power, that is even more impossible.

Because in terms of etiquette, law and morality, he is Huidun's subordinate, and they share the same fate.

It can be said that he does not pose any obstacle to Huidun's power. On the contrary, he will be a helper to Huidun.

It was because he had figured this out that Coulson did not confront Shoten right away.

After Xiao Dun explained his purpose, he also bowed to Coulson and said:

"That's offending."

After all, Xiao Dun still has the title of earl. Although his earldom has no control over Coulson, there is no need for him to be so polite to Coulson.

The reason why he did this was because he knew how to judge the situation very well, knowing that he, like Coulson in front of him, was loyal to Prince Huidun.

Yes, in Xiao Dun’s allegiance, Huidun is not a small earl on the border of the kingdom, but a prince who is one of the future heirs of the kingdom.

Xiao Dun waved his hand and led his men into the Viscount's Mansion.

Coulson, who was standing aside, watched them enter his house with an expressionless face.

He also wanted to see if Xiao Dun was really here to capture some soul magician as he said.

At this moment, the butler beside him leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Master, President Moni of the Adventurer's Guild is standing outside now."

The old butler also wanted to remind his master that even if Xiao Dun and the others really wanted to take action against his master later, it would be good for President Moni to be able to help.

After hearing what the old butler said, Coulson turned around and looked outside, and then saw Moni standing outside with a thoughtful look on his face.

When Moni saw Coulson looking at him, he also smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. Earl Xiaoton and his men are really here to capture an evil magician who practices soul magic."

After hearing what Moni said, although Coulson still had some doubts, he trusted him a little more than before.

After all, President Moni had never had any contact with Earl Huidun, so it was impossible for him to explain anything for Huidun for no reason.

Coulson felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this.

Because if there really was a soul magician hiding in his house, then wouldn't he, his wife, and his daughter be in great danger?

But he knew that these magicians who practiced soul power were not in normal minds, and often did things to deceive people and make them commit suicide and donate their souls for their practice.

Thinking of this, Coulson couldn't stay any longer. He bowed to Moni and went into the mansion.

At this time, Moni followed behind him and said:

"Don't worry, Lord Viscount. I will go with you to take a look."

"Thank you very much, President."

With the presence of the master Moni, Coulson felt much more at ease. He then led Moni and the two of them strode towards the backyard.

Viscount Coulson is a viscount, and the area of his mansion is more than twice that of Baron William's.

The two of them walked through the corridor and were about to step into the backyard when they saw that Xiao Dun's men had already surrounded the backyard.

And from here you can hear the fighting in the backyard.

When Coulson heard this voice, his heart immediately tightened. He was really afraid that this battle would affect his wife and daughter.

Coulson grabbed the sword from a knight in a few leaps and rushed in directly.

The knight wanted to step forward to snatch back the sword, but was stopped by Moni who came later. After explaining a few words to him, Moni also leaped into the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard martial arts arena, Xiao Dun and Gro were fighting to a standstill.

Originally, with Xiao Dun's strength, he could easily crush Gro, but the way of warrior that Gro practiced was different from that of ordinary warriors.

What he practiced was the art of shadow escape. As long as there was a shadow, he could do it and no one could hurt him.

And it was because of this that Xiao Dun's men suffered a loss when they discovered that he had captured him.

However, these Royal Guards are Royal Guards. After suffering a loss, they understood Gro's methods and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

That is to fight him alone and lead him to a sunny place.

After being brainwashed, Gro had no thoughts of his own and only followed the orders given to him by Mekas, so he quickly fell into the trap set by Xiao Dun and others.

He was led directly to the open training ground by Xiao Dun and his men, and then the other knights blocked the training ground to prevent him from escaping, waiting for Xiao Dun to capture him.

The reason they wanted to capture him was not because Xiao Dun and the others were merciful, but because they did not see him use any soul-related power when they fought with him.

However, under the detection technique, there was indeed a strong evil soul power fluctuation in his body, so Xiao Dun needed to capture him and ask about the current hiding place of the soul mage.

When Coulson came in, he saw this scene.

He didn't expect that there was such a dangerous guy lurking in his house.

Coulson saw that Xiao Dun was able to handle the situation with ease, and his men did not go up to help him. Coulson knew that he was not needed here, and he immediately went to find his wife and daughter.

And Moni, who came in after Coulson, also glanced at the two people on the training ground.
