Andreg gave a slight snort, lowering her head somewhat arrogantly and asked, "Did you hear that?" Borne was enchanted by her spell and didn’t dare to resist, quickly nodding stiffly. Witnessing this, Brand couldn’t help feeling a bit curious, "Will he not be seen through looking so dull?" In fact, enchantments that confuse the mind are black witchcraft in the Amber Sword, and even the ’knowledgeable’ young Lord was observing such a spell’s effect carefully for the first time.

"Hmph, he only looks so dull because of his awe for his master; in front of others, his demeanor is naturally normal." Andreg had a demeanor of ’you’re just a country bumpkin.’

Brand was always full of curiosity about the unknown in the Amber Sword, just like the typical mindset of players like him, so he didn’t mind Andreg’s attitude, thinking for a moment and saying, "Isn’t that terrifying, can’t it be discerned?"

"It’s not that simple, these tricks have no effect in front of a wizard, even a low-level apprentice can see through them. But the apprentice must cast a spell to discern truth from falsity, while a slightly higher-level wizard can see through it at a glance, and those familiar with the person can also notice some inconsistencies, after all, being controlled by a spell inevitably makes actions somewhat unnatural," the Vampire Girl answered carefully, "Moreover, this is just a small trick, a minor detail in black witchcraft, I only delve into it out of interest—"

"A small trick?"

"Because it’s too weak, people with power above Upper Silver can resist the effect of spells with sheer will, and confusing the mind has minimal effect on them."

Only then did Brand realize, and at this time, the guard had already turned and walked towards the manor. Actually, the manor isn’t far from the stables, just about a hundred steps away, at this distance, beings with power above Golden Upper can easily sense the breeze and movements around with their five senses; Brand could even hear the sound of the guard stopping to knock on the door, which should be the backdoor of the manor’s kitchen. The guard knocked for a while before the door opened with a creak.

In fact, Borne knocked three times before the door opened a crack, revealing a pair of impatient eyes looking at him: "What?"

Borne recognized this Sir Knight, one of the numerous attendants of the noble Lord, but his knowledge was limited to just that. He had only seen the man from afar behind the noble Lord during the day. As soon as he saw the man, he instinctively lowered his head and replied, "Andeke said that the Lord’s... Binod-bred warhorse seems to have a problem, and they should hurry over to take a look!"

It has to be said, Borne’s imitation of Brand’s tone was extremely accurate, at least capturing it eight or nine out of ten, mimicking Brand’s mannerisms and tone vividly. However, upon hearing this, Brand nearly spat out his drink in surprise, turning back to look at Andreg, who also couldn’t help but cover her face. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"This idiot!" Andreg almost squeezed the words through clenched teeth, a blush creeping into her snow-white skin. In fact, the Vampire Girl felt she had lost all face because of this foolish retainer. She hurriedly beckoned in that direction, uttering an odd word: "Tuioz!"

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing, just making it more believable when people hear lies," Andreg snorted slightly through her nose, "This is also black witchcraft according to you, but its effect is minimal, I’m just doing my best."

Brand turned back, and alongside him, Medphis, Hu Que, and Furlo subconsciously placed their hands on their weapons, while Char silently held onto his spellbook. Everyone was tensely watching that side, but the knight behind the door seemed to hesitate, completely unaware of anything wrong, instead cursing, "What? What nonsense is Andeke up to? Did that guy mess up with the Earl’s horse, and now he’s panicking and talking nonsense?"

Despite saying so, everyone in the manor knew that that Binod Horse was the Earl’s treasure, and the knight had to show a cautious demeanor, opening the door to look around, then harshly said to Borne, "Don’t tell anyone else for now, wait for me to come back."

Borne quickly nodded obediently.
