I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Apart from the lights, there were no guards on either side of the bedroom door.

I suppose Count Wilhelm didn't want anyone eavesdropping outside.

Wang Zixuan positioned the rats at the corners on both sides of the passage to serve as a warning and prevent patrolling soldiers from coming over.

Anno leaned against the door, listening to the sounds coming from the bedroom, and slowly opened the door.

The bedroom door opened silently a crack.

Then Anno peeked through the crack in the door and saw a large bed in the bedroom.

A man with a mustache, dressed in pajamas, stood by the window, constantly waving a short leather whip in his hand.

A naked woman was kneeling on the bed, her smooth, fair back marked with bloody welts, and she cried out in pain.

"Hahaha... You lowly commoner, why don't you thank the Earl for his favor! Was my whipping not forceful enough?"

Each time Count Wei lashed out, the fat on his belly would roll around.

"You demon in human skin, one day someone will punish you. You... deserve to die!"

The woman being whipped gritted her teeth, turned around, and cursed Count Wei.

"Smack!"

Count Wei slapped her across the face, instantly knocking the woman off the bed.

Bang bang bang!

Count Wei's fists kept striking the woman's face.

The latter's delicate face was soon beaten black and blue, with blood flowing freely.

"Hoo-hoo~, that feels good! You damned wretch, no one can punish the great Wes Dick. Instead, after I've had my fun with you, I'll feed you to the dogs!"

"Woof!"

A large dog, about a meter tall, standing not far from the foot of the bed, suddenly stood up, bared its teeth, and barked at the bedroom door.

But then it seemed to see something, and the fierce expression on its face vanished instantly. It licked its tongue and lay down on the ground.

Count Wei, thinking his pet had overheard him, turned around and said, "Little darling, don't be in such a hurry. After I'm done with this little slut, I'll give her to you!"

With that, he dropped the whip, walked to the bedside table, picked up a red medicine bottle, and drank the contents in one gulp.

Half a minute later, Count Wei felt himself getting into the swing of things. He took off his pajamas and the necklace and rings that were in the way, and pounced on the bed.

Anno peeked through the crack in the door and saw the thumb ring on Count Weir's right hand. His eyes narrowed.

All the jewelry was removed, except for this one.

There is clearly a problem.

"Meng Xin, sneak in later. When Count Wei is in a daze, cut off his thumb, steal the ring, and then subdue him!"

Anno lowered his voice and had just finished explaining the battle plan when he noticed the bedroom door open and a gentle breeze brush past his ear.

"Meng Xin!!!"

Anuo was surprised that Meng Xin actually rushed in.

Although Meng Xin activated [Shadow], the noise of the bedroom door opening still startled Count Wei.

When he turned around and saw the door open, he frowned.

Count Wei did not immediately suspect that someone had come to assassinate him.

But the next moment, the ring on his hand suddenly flashed with light, and then his body was enveloped by a blue barrier.

Outside the barrier, a sharp dagger appeared out of nowhere in front of Count Wei.

At this point, Count Werner understood what was happening to him.

His eyes widened, and his pig-like body retreated hastily, shouting, "Assassin! Help! Assassin!"

Ding Ding Ding!

Upon discovering that her attack had been blocked, Meng Xin gritted her teeth and launched several more attacks.

But without exception, they were all blocked by the blue barrier!

"Quickly, quickly, protect the Earl!"

Anno, who was still outside the door, heard footsteps and the guards' voices coming from the corridor, and frowned.

He originally planned to have Meng Xin make her move when Count Wei was least on guard.

However, Meng Xin, for some unknown reason, launched an attack without authorization.

However, Count Werther's ring seems to have an automatic protection function.

In this way, the result will be the same no matter when Meng Xin attacks.

"Now that we've been discovered, let's go for it!"

Anno immediately summoned twenty level 17 magical beasts to guard the corridors on both sides, and engaged in battle with the endless stream of guards rushing up in the narrow corridor.

The passage was narrow, and the guards were blocked by the monsters, unable to rush forward at all.

"Why are there monsters here?"

"Tier 3! They're all Tier 3 magical beasts! And the Earl is still inside!"

"Ah! My leg!"

"Quickly, go and fetch Lord Augustine!"

After Anuo summoned the magical beast, he and Wang Zixuan rushed into the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, bound hand and foot, beaten beyond recognition, Phoebe looked at Anno rushing in and suddenly forgot the pain she was in.

I can't be wrong about this face!

This is the person!

This is the person who pinned the blame for killing soldiers and kidnapping Yale students on himself.

Then she was chased by a large number of soldiers and had nowhere to hide.

After being captured, he suffered all kinds of torture, and tonight he was sent to Count Wei's bedroom again.

It can be used in the darkest and most helpless moments of life.

Why was it he who came to save me?

Why?

Phoebe's tears streamed down her face.

Anno already knew that the woman in bed was Phoebe, but he didn't give her a second glance.

After rushing into the bedroom, he immediately attacked Count Weasley, who was protected by the barrier.

But to Anno's surprise, after the other party got close to the wall, a section of the wall flipped over, and Count Wei went inside.

"A secret passage!"

Anno cursed under his breath, told Wang Zixuan and Meng Xin to get out of the way, and then used his skill to bombard the wall.

I don't know what material this wall is made of, but it's incredibly hard.

Anno bombarded the target with his second-tier skill more than a dozen times, but it only produced a few cracks.

In the end, Anno reluctantly sacrificed fifty blue-level souls and learned the third-tier warrior skill [Lion's Slash] on the spot before he could finally break down the wall—some of the zombie soldiers back then knew this skill.

After the wall collapsed, a downward staircase appeared.

On the walls on both sides of the staircase, there is a valuable luminous pearl every two meters.

But at this moment, Anno was concerned about Count Weir's whereabouts.

"Chase!"

Anno had night vision and rushed straight in.

There are twenty magical beasts guarding the outside, and the guards can't rush up for the time being.

However, after chasing for several dozen meters, Anno discovered through his summoned creatures that a level 20 knight had suddenly rushed up and started attacking the monster.

In a short time, two monsters were pierced through the body by spears.

Before dying, the summoned creature activated [King's Power].

The explosion occurred in the corridor, instantly sending the surrounding soldiers flying.

However, the level 20 knight activated his defensive skill and was unharmed, continuing to attack the monster.

In the corridor, the numerical advantage of the monsters was not apparent.

The few remaining creatures were no match for this knight.

Left with no other choice, Anno ordered them all to rush forward and self-destruct in an attempt to kill the level 20 knight.

However, the side effects are also obvious.

The violent explosion sent the knight Augustine flying and shattered the surrounding rooms.

The enormous roar nearly woke up people within a kilometer radius.

Soldiers and mercenaries from the vicinity were running towards the Earl's castle to provide support.
