Chapter 8 Next(1/2)

"Let's talk about the next action. I think tonight is a good opportunity."

"Why? I think we can wait until the envoys arrive. At that time, the baron must go out to greet the envoys. You can shoot him from a long distance during the day."

"Usually this is true, but don't forget the sudden accident before. Because we were discovered, this method will not work. And the spy is from the command of the Grand Princess. As a noble, even if she and

The Baron is conflicted, but she will allow outsiders to assassinate the Baron, and even if she really wants to do this, she will capture us after our assassination is completed to show that her justice is in the interest of the noble. After all, we are in the same situation as her.

In different camps, she can only represent the nobility, and we can only be thieves to her."

"Hmm... It does make sense. But I didn't expect you to know a lot about the nobles."

"No, I don't understand the affairs between noble gentlemen at all. I just have a one-sided understanding of human nature. And what I said may not be accurate. It's just a guess... But, in my opinion, as long as it is...

People will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and trivial matters in the world have always revolved around interests. As I just said, after learning about this matter, the eldest daughter will definitely weigh the two consequences for her.

Interests, as for how she makes a choice...it depends on what she needs."

"Interests...then what are your interests? Money? Power?"

"You can have money, but forget about power. And the benefit I want most now is you."

"I?"

"Keeping you by my side is the greatest benefit to me."

Although I said this outspokenly and unintentionally, it was impossible to take it back. I glanced at Diana with some nervousness. She acted very calmly. She just lowered her head and seemed to be thinking at all.

I didn't hear the same thing, which made me a little disappointed.

"...Then what are you going to do tonight?"

"Night...I'm not very good at fighting at night, because I can't make a correct judgment on the enemy's position in the dark. Even if I rely on your perception, I can't be sure to kill it with one blow. But if you go indoors, you can use the help inside

I can deal with the Baron alone under weak light. Therefore, it is best to sneak into the mansion before 3 o'clock in the morning. Even the moonlight will be dimming during that time. There is no need to worry about being discovered by the guards during the infiltration. You can enter the backyard of the mansion through you

Use the elf perception to get close to the specific location of the reconnaissance baron, and leave the subsequent indoor battle to me."

"What would you do if those brainwashed girls stood in front of the Baron?"

"It's not a big problem for ordinary people. After all, I also know some fighting skills. But when that elf girl appears, it's a little troublesome... By the way, can you use electric magic?"

"Electricity? Thunder and lightning?"

"It doesn't need to be so high-energy, it's just... electricity, the kind that's so powerful it won't kill you."

"I know a few, and I can adjust the magic output if I don't die. Why do you ask?"

"Electric shock. In later generations, police and security guards used electric shock weapons to subdue criminals and capture them alive. When we meet the elf girl, you can find a way to lure her away, and use electric shock magic to subdue her after she leaves the baron's range.

"

"How did you do it?"

"This...I'm not a scientist and I don't understand the principle...roughly, it uses low-voltage electricity to stimulate people's muscles and nerves to cause paralysis and shock...or something like that?"

"Low volts? How low?"

"...I don't know, maybe... around 30,000-50,000 volts? Why don't you try it on me?"

"What?"

"Now, you should master the electric shock magic first, starting from the lowest output. It doesn't matter. Although I have not received relevant training, I have suffered several electric shocks, and the feeling is still fresh in my memory."

"No, wait..."

"Come on, I need time to recover from a low-battery electric shock. If I delay it any longer, I won't have much time."

"Then...well, you should lie down on the bed first."

I walked to the table and put all the firearms and ammunition on it, especially the small backpack and watch. After checking that there were no electronic items on me, I took off my cloak and lay down on the bed. Diana took a stool and did it.

She raised her right hand from the bedside, and saw a burst of strong electric sparks suddenly coming from the tip of her index finger. I was so frightened that I quickly turned over and rolled to the other side of the bed.

"You want to kill me? This amount of electricity can fry me."

"I...just try it first."

"Start from the lowest power you can control. Is it possible that your magic can't control the output power?"

"It doesn't seem possible, let me try another one..."

After Diana thought for a while, tiny electric sparks burst out from her fingertips again. This time, it seemed to be adjusted to the lowest output. I silently stared at the wooden ceiling to signal her to start, and then there was an electric spark from my palm.

I felt a slight pain like a needle prick. I always felt that this feeling was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it, I finally remembered the touch when I had played with the small part of a disposable lighter. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

"how?"

"Ah, we are increasing our efforts."

"so……?"

"Well...continue..."

"..."

"..."

In the evening, on the outskirts of Wilsk City, Chris's team was taking a temporary rest nearby.

"My little princess, how do you enter the city without disturbing the baron?"

"Originally, I wanted to sneak into the city quietly."

"Oh? This idea is indeed not feasible, what about now?"

"I haven't thought of a suitable method at all. The most feasible method at present is to put away the flag, abandon the carriage, and pretend to be a missionary escort. This will minimize the possibility of exposing the identity."

"Really? I thought you would choose to send knights directly into the city to seize control."

"Teacher, you expressed your approval of my growth before, but now it seems that you still regard me as the willful person I was two years ago."

"No, actually I think this method is a good choice if you don't want the baron to be assassinated."

"I don't care about that waste's life or death. I care about those two assassins more than anyone else. As you said, no matter whether the other party is the Chosen One or not, at least I have to try to get in touch with him because of his identity as that elf."

"I see, have you considered what will happen next? It's time for the Principality of Michael to reconcile with Merylgil, and that elf lady may be a good breakthrough. Even if she is not from Merylgil, she will still be with them.

Some connections are good."

"Anyway, let's prepare to enter the city first."

At Chris's command, the knights dismounted and walked towards the city gate on foot.

I don’t know how long it took, but I opened my eyes drowsily. My mind went blank, just like after a hangover, and I felt a little nauseous.

"Hey, you're finally awake, that's great."

When Diana saw me waking up, she hurriedly came over to help me. Her ecstatic expression surprised me.

"what happened?"

"You were stunned. Sorry..."

"Oh, that's it. I lost consciousness halfway through. By the way, do you remember the intensity?"

"Asshole, why don't you think about yourself first? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"I feel discomfort all over my body, but I just need to take it easy for a while. It shouldn't affect my next actions. What time is it now?"

"...It's 12 o'clock in the evening. Let's drink some water first." Diana picked up my watch and looked at the time and said.

"Thanks."

I took the cup and took a sip. To be honest, I really wanted to drink a few more sips, but the overwhelming feeling in my stomach prevented me from doing so.

"Just in case, you should consider the physical difference between humans and elves and increase the intensity appropriately."

"I know. The dinner is already cold. Do you want to make do with it first?"

"I……"

I sat up and was about to sit at the dining table, but the moment I stood up, I suddenly felt an abnormal feeling in my stomach. I rushed to the toilet and vomited into the toilet. Diana also hurriedly followed me and helped me.

After about two minutes, I felt a little better. I took the hand towel she handed me and wiped my mouth. Although I didn't want to dirty her hand towel, I took a closer look.

What she handed over was actually a hotel napkin, so she didn't think much about it, wiped the dirt around her mouth and threw it aside.

"Do you feel better?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go lie down for a while and eat."

"No, I think sitting is more appropriate than lying down."

We sat at the dining table and chatted for a while. When I felt like it was about the same, I finally ate the cold meat porridge and the still soft sweet bread. During this period, we reconfirmed our preparations for the operation and directly removed part of the disguise, including the operation.

Wearing the inconvenient cloak and the newly bought luggage, we sneaked directly to a place outside the noble area, fully armed, and entered the noble residential area by climbing the wall there. Based on the terrain detected during the day and the patrol routes collected by the guards, we entered

After the noble area, you must arrive near the baron's residence in the shortest possible time before the night guard changes. After that, you have to climb the cliff on the high ground and enter the backyard, where you will wait in the shadow near the flower garden until 3 o'clock in the morning to start the operation.

In fact, I feel that it would be more suitable to wait in a warehouse near another building or under a remote window on the side, but Diana and I are not sure whether the elf girl can also sense elf. Because she mentioned the so-called "elf"

"Perception" is actually not an innate racial characteristic but closer to a skill acquired through special training.
To be continued...
