Count of Wizards

"This damn weather is really getting colder..."

At 1:30 in the morning in Frosinone, at the sentry post of a warehouse in the Benatia community, Martinez, the night watchman of the Malate security company, touched his somewhat Mediterranean head, and cheered to his companion. Liardini said with emotion:

Hearing Martinez's emotion, Gagliardini was a little lame on his right leg. He looked around the guard post vigilantly, and then replied: "If you feel cold, after the company pays your salary this month, you Go buy a new pair of cotton trousers, you have been wearing these cotton trousers since I met you, if you keep at it, your rheumatism is about to break out!"

Regarding Gagliardini's suggestion, Martinez, who is short and fat like a short winter melon, shook his head and said, "I want a pair of new cotton pants, but it's a pity that our boss Sodir is stingy." I’ll give me two shillings and ten pence a month, which is only enough for five people in our family to eat, how can I have spare money to buy new cotton trousers?”

After Martinez finished speaking, he sighed, then picked up the wine jug beside him, and just raised his head and took a big sip to keep warm.

Feeling the slightly pungent smell in the jug, Gagliardini knew that his partner must contain "Heg" again.

"Hege" means green spring in Kaman language, and it is also a special product of Frosinone. It is very popular in Frosinone because it is cheap and can warm up the body with a sip. Low-class workers and peasants are welcome, but although the name of Hegg is very nice, it is also very popular, and it sells very well in Frosinone.

But in essence, this is actually a kind of industrial alcohol mixed with water, mixed with some cheap spices. Every year in Frosinone, there are dozens of alcoholics who lost their lives because of drinking Heg , but this is still irresistible, the workers and farmers with meager income love it.

So when Martinez was drinking Heg, Gagliardini subconsciously wanted to remind Martinez that drinking like this was very harmful to his body, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. With Martinez's economic conditions, he couldn't afford to drink any alcohol except for Heg, and if he didn't have Heg to warm his body, his clothes would no longer be warm. Martinez in cotton coat and trousers, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in this drafty sentry...

After taking a sip of Heg, and feeling that his almost frozen body had warmed up again, Martinez regained his energy. He seemed to have remembered something, the sound of pressing the ground, and he turned towards Gagliardi mysteriously. Ni asked: "Do you know what we are pretending here?"

Hearing Martinez's inquiry, Gagliardini didn't think much, just shook his head and said; "I don't know, I didn't say it above, but it should be some kind of wood, whatever it is? The two of us are just here to watch the night and prevent thieves from coming. Whether the things in the warehouse are gold or mud, it has nothing to do with us!"

Regarding Gagliardini's words, Martinez curled his lips, and then continued, saying in a subdued voice: "I heard that a few days ago, the warehouse in the Andri community was patronized by thieves. It is said that there are 500 sets. The ceramic utensils are all lost, how much do you think they are worth?"

It seems that from Martinez's words, he noticed something wrong, Gagliardini glanced at Martinez, and then warned him: "I can tell you, don't worry about it. Bad intentions, the three people who were hanged were just tried by the court last month, and the bodies have just been put away!"

"Gagliardini, you bastard, what are you talking about, am I Martinez like that?" Gagliardini's words seemed to hit Martinez's sore spot, Martinez Immediately, he said angrily;

After finishing speaking, Martinez changed his voice, thought for a while and continued: "Although I will not collude with those gangsters, but if those gangsters really come, Solti, an old miser, don't expect me to do it for him Two shillings and ten pence for him, and I have a wife and children, and they expect me to work to support the family..."

"Crack!"

As soon as Martinez finished speaking, there was a sudden crisp sound outside the sentry post, which immediately attracted the attention of Martinez and Gagliardini in the sentry post.

Facing the sudden sound, Martinez, who just said that he would not work for two shillings and ten pence, had a look of fear on his fat face, and then he was very decisive, and hid under the sentry table roundly. Get up, here comes an out of sight.

Although Martinez is so shabby, but his companion Gagliardini, although his feet are a little lame and it is not very convenient to move, but he is very courageous. He looked back and saw Martin who was shivering on the table. Nath, knowing that he could not count on him, immediately mentioned the kerosene lamp in the sentry post, and walked out of the sentry post cautiously, preparing to go outside to see what happened.

Just before taking two steps out of the sentry post, Martinez felt a black shadow flash past, and before he could react, a sharp knife was stuck on his waist and eyes. Gagliardini hesitated, but still He didn't choose to resist, and very cleverly raised his hands to surrender.

"Go back!"

A deep voice sounded in Gagliardini's ear, the bandit who held him hostage ordered him:

At the same time, this order allowed Gagliardini to vaguely see the situation of the person who hijacked him. This person is tall, 1.85 meters tall, and has a strong figure. , I can't see the face clearly, but I can imagine that this person must be a ruthless person.

Just when Gagliardini was trying to observe other information about the gangster, the gangster who held him hostage saw that his order had not been carried out by Gagliardini, so he was not polite to him. Gagliardini punched hard on the back. Gagliardini didn't even yell out, but was beaten so hard that he passed out.

After knocking out Gagliardini, the masked gangster threw the fainted Gagliardini into the sentry post, and saw Gagliardini who was thrown in and fainted , Martinez, who was hiding under the table, was so frightened that he lost his soul. He wailed and said: Don't kill me...
