Chapter 8 Next(2/2)

Although the innate perception ability of the elves is indeed superior to that of humans, if they want to reach Diana's level, they need to undergo long-term and rigorous training. Moreover, the requirements and content of this training are not suitable for most people.

It's not too difficult for the elven clans, and there are many people in the Merylgil clan who know this training method, so just in case, we chose to wait as far as possible out of the perception range.

After a period of detailed preparation and weapon adjustments I took a look at the time.

"At 1:00 in the morning, let's start taking action."

"Um."

I quietly opened the window. The hotel courtyard was now dark. Everyone, including the staff, was probably asleep, but the faint moonlight in the sky could still barely illuminate the situation inside the hotel for me.

After jumping down from the window quietly, we quietly came to the hotel wall. After easily climbing over the wall that was one person high, we came to the street. The street was not too dark at this time, and the outer city where civilians lived was not dark.

There are luxury things like street lights, but occasionally there are a few larger shops with torches or braziers burning in front of them. Since Wilsk City is a poor border town, there is no curfew.

There are also a small number of janitors or handymen on night duty, and even some taverns keep their lights on all night, and drunk fools can be seen lying on the ground near some street corners.

By the way, although there are many night patrol soldiers in the outer city, there is no fixed patrol route. Most of them gather near some pubs to drink and chat, and occasionally they only go out for a symbolic walk. To be honest, if not

If we hadn't used camouflage magic now, we would have really wanted to walk in the middle of the line in a swaggering way.

The above situations were accidents that were not detected during the day, but fortunately these accidents did not affect the general direction of the operation. To be safe, Diana simply re-applied the camouflage magic, but this time the temporary camouflage did not use the previous one.

Phantom face.

Just when we were about to approach the noble district, we suddenly noticed some commotion on the street leading to the city gate. For some reason, many torches suddenly lit up there. After listening carefully to the sounds there, we actually heard a lot of horse hooves.

The noise seemed to indicate that a large number of people were about to enter the city, which aroused the vigilance of the city guards, and the soldiers on the surrounding streets were also rushing there in a hurry.

I feel a little nervous about another sudden accident. Although this time may have been caused by external factors, the accident is still an accident after all. It still involves the success rate of the action. After all, I have considered it before.

Miss Michael's incident made me wonder whether the people at the city gate were sent by her. If they were really sent by her, would they interfere with the success or failure of this operation?

But looking back and thinking about it, even worrying now is of no use. We will continue to act no matter what. So we took advantage of the slight confusion of the guards on the street to arrive near the noble area and followed the previously planned route through the houses.

The dark side came under a wall somewhere in the aristocratic district.

The walls in the noble area are not too high, they are thick wooden piles about two meters high. It is said that for the sake of appearance, the tops of the wooden piles are not sharpened but some small animal statues are carved at regular intervals. We

I walked in the dark to a wooden pile with some kind of small dog statue carved on the top. In fact, during the day, I thought the puppy looked familiar, but I couldn't remember its name for a while. Diana was very familiar with it.

I don’t know many dogs, so I can’t name them. But now, with the dim moonlight, I look at the image of the puppy, with its slender body and upright big ears. Isn’t this appearance a fawn?

I once met a certain liaison lady in the company who raised this kind of small dog, and she had some understanding of it. I couldn't help but sigh about how many species from the earth there are in this world.

Unfortunately, this wood-carved puppy didn’t fascinate me for too long. In just ten seconds, we easily climbed over the wall of the noble district, and tiptoed along the wall to the back of an uninhabited house to avoid the impending attack.

The night guard was passing by, but at this moment Diana behind me quietly tugged on my arm.

"What just happened..."

"Don't be distracted and focus on the current task."

We really didn’t have any extra time to think about other things. I could only divert Diana’s attention from her worries. In fact, I was also thinking in my heart about how I should protect the princess if it was really the princess who intervened.

Diana has safely evacuated the city of Wilsk. If necessary, the princess can be held hostage, but I don't want the situation to get so bad.

After waiting on the spot for about a minute, the guards smelling of alcohol finally walked by with their arms around each other. I was not surprised at all by their behavior. Thinking about the scenes I saw in the civilian area before, compared to

For the safer aristocratic area, the guard's night patrol is more like a midnight walk.

We took advantage of the moment when the group of guards passed by the corner and rushed to a dark alley on the opposite side. As long as we walked through this alley, we could reach the vicinity of the Baron's residence. However, there was no light at all in this place. For this, I could only use Diana.

The elf vision helps you quietly avoid various obstacles on the trail and move forward slowly.

This section of the road took longer than expected. I looked at my watch and it actually took me 3 minutes to get to the exit. Next is the second street that surrounds the noble area, which is also where the nobles of Lorde and the private lands of the barons are divided.

Although there are no night guards here, the road is wide and illuminated by street lights, and not far away is the gate of the Baron's residence. There are many guards standing guard nearby. Although they are also gathering together casually and making jokes, if they are not careful,

It would be very easy for them to see us crossing the street.

This is a place that relies more on luck. I observed the behavior of the guards in the dark through the 4x red dot sight. I waited patiently for the moment when their vision turned elsewhere, and let Diana drag me quickly across the road.

The street went into the bushes on the side of the road. Although I successfully reached the other side, I really didn't want to experience this feeling a second time. Intuitively speaking, it was as uncomfortable as being thrown out by a fast-moving vehicle.

We walked through the dense bushes, slowing down in order not to make too much noise, and quietly explored the side of the baron's residence. This is a highland with a drop of about 3 meters. The edge of the highland has obviously been artificially restored and used.

The cliff made of stone bricks is almost in a 90° structure. Fortunately, the quality of the stone bricks is very poor and the edges are uneven. You can easily use a machete to poke into the cracks of the bricks to climb. As for Diana, I will not worry at all, because she

When I reached nearly half the height, I jumped up and stepped on my shoulders to perform a double jump and successfully reached the high ground.

After ascending to the high ground, there was a low shrub wall, but it was not an obstacle at all. We could easily cross it and entered the backyard of the baron's residence. We were not in a hurry to go to the planned flower garden, so we took advantage of the opportunity.

When Diana asked her for my spare pistol and magazine, I asked her some uneasy questions.

"Do you think it's okay to stick to the original plan now?"

"What's wrong?"

"The commotion at the city gate may be because the princess's people arrived early."

"That's such a coincidence."

"Countless things in the world are made up of countless coincidences."

“Whose famous quote?”

"Uh... my former mercenary boss said... I mean if I am right, we may not be able to wait until 3 o'clock."

"So if we do it now, will we be successful?"

"Absolutely. I chose point 3 before mainly because I wanted to avoid those brainwashed maids as much as possible. After all, even if they are controlled by brainwashing, they still need to sleep, right?"

"...Then...Okay. Let's go there now and let me sense the target's location first."
