There are two entrances to the Hanlu Manor. According to Mordefense's investigation, a small group of city guards is stationed. However, the long border and iron railings of the manor can only deter ordinary people. Although there are several patrols, They are all made up of city guards, and they don't have any defensive capabilities at all against opponents in the element realm.
On Brando’s side, after the battle on the Evergreen Walkway, Mordefense and Andríguet have progressed by leaps and bounds, and have reached the mid-level of the element. The Charles, Metis and Hippamilla who were summoned earlier Going further, faintly has the strength to aspire to the side of truth.
Brando of this kind of strength does not even have to attack these'ordinary people', and walks directly through the garden in the center of the courtyard. For these soldiers, it is just a flower in front of them. Look back and see where there is still a trace, just as it is. I have hallucinations.
The main road in the middle of the courtyard leads to the main entrance. A fountain is built on the square. There are two patrol teams here. It seems that the strength is a bit higher than that of the city guards. It is the Janitor of Rušta.
But in the gardens on both sides of the fountain, there is a maze of shrubs, except for a few secret whistles, there is no eyeliner at all. And these secret guards simply monitor the incomplete man-made mazes, and these people turn a blind eye to such obvious loopholes in the line of defense.
Seeing this scene, Brando couldn't help believing the words of the witch of unknown origin. The Silver Queen was obviously in a posture of inviting the king to enter the urn, for fear that he would not be able to enter the central area of the manor.
However, the other party would underestimate him. Even if the defense is doubled, these people may not be able to stop him. Her Majesty is really petty.
This trap seems to be quite obvious, but Brando has no intention to retreat. Originally, he was directed at this trap this time. With luck, he might be able to take away the prey in the trap and give the Silver Queen a surprise. .
Of course, although you have to go deep into the wolf's den, you can't be unprepared. The way out is still to be arranged. Brando took out a fist-sized gray crystal from the dimension hole according to the plan, and then gave it to Shire, who immediately cast a spell to wrap up the explosive crystal, then toss one of it, and toss it into the bushes at will .
Next, the group continued to advance under the cover of the bushes, and several detonation points were arranged along the way. It was not until the last section of the journey that there was no cover, and Shire displayed an invisibility enchantment to include everyone in it.
Her Majesty’s deliberate slack defense saved them a lot of things. Originally, Brando thought that they would waste at least a dozen spells here. For this reason, he prepared several kinds of magic potions for the Shire to prevent them from appearing in the game. The embarrassing thing of "not enough blue".
Unexpectedly, the Shire had only cast a few spells so far-this also included the almost effortless guidance marks that were previously placed on the gray crystals. As a result, the previous preparations did not come in handy.
But this is a good thing for the subsequent battles—
Coming to the gate of the villa, Brando was once again surprised by the defensive power here—there was no wizard in the forbidden army left behind. Although there was a small enchantment of Dharma-consciousness on the door, this kind of thing is very important for civilization. For Shire, who has taken the elements, it's almost like a toy.
In Warnd, the enlightened wizard is called the Archmage. This is an extremely glorious title. The enlightened element of the wizard is much harder than the warrior. Except for the perverted Buga, even the tower wizard does not Several real archmages.
If Charles returns to Karasu in this capacity, he can easily enter the upper level of the tower wizard and compete for the position of the'seven heads'.
The power of the archmage and the ordinary wizard are almost the same. It takes a lot of effort for the ordinary wizard to solve this enchantment of breaking the spell. For the archmage, it is just a matter of raising their hands.
The Silver Queen wouldn't think that he didn't even have a civilized archmage beside him, right? In Brando's impression, the Silver Queen is by no means such a mediocre generation. It is obvious that the other party is afraid that she will "retire", and has left enough loopholes in defense, so that in his opinion, it is a bit too much.
But Brando also knew that the slight suspicion at the moment was because he had been prepared in advance after being reminded by the witch of unknown origin.
If he didn't know it, maybe he was now grateful for the simple defenses of this manor.
However, since Her Majesty was so kind, Brando also gave up the idea of transmitting directly into the villa through the law ability.
The door of the villa was not closed all the time. Sometimes people dressed as maids and butlers came in and out, as if the manor was really guarded not by the scepter of fire, but by the Countess of Varach; these miscellaneous people waited for Brando. Chances are, when the maids called to open the door, a few people directly followed. Charles didn't even cast any spells, and the so-called Fa-Knowledge barrier seemed to be blind, and there was no response at all.
In fact, this is the elemental effect of Charles. Dismantling the spell is the upper level performance of breaking the law. As long as he can recognize the spell, he can dismantle the line of the law that supports the spell. This is an extremely scary one. The ability of Shire directly turned Shire into a real mage killer.
Knowing that the rule wizard originally had the title of wizard’s enemy, coupled with the ability to dismantle spells, Shire basically stood firm in an undefeated position in battles of the same tier or even higher tiers.
As soon as I entered the villa, the defensive density suddenly dropped by a bit. This is logical. After all, according to the'set', the villa is the place where Akane lives. How could there be such a situation of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry? , Is this to guard against foreign enemies or to monitor the countess
But although the defensive density has dropped, the level of defense strength has risen a lot. Brando has found secret whistles above the element level several times in the dark. Listening to their unique breathing rhythm, Brando can distinguish the opponent. identity of.
But he couldn't tell the difference, because the opponent was really his old acquaintance, or even his colleague, the Templar.
Brando himself has the advancement of Templar knights. Naturally, he knows the unique breathing rhythm that these people have cultivated because of the blood of the sun. It has to be said that Her Majesty’s selection of these people as an internal defense force is a magical stroke. . It would be too abrupt if she used the Flame Knight as the weapon here. After all, the Flame Knight was the secret power of the temple, and would seldom get involved in ordinary affairs.
But if he continues to use the Forbidden Army, Brando can't help but doubt the IQ of the Queen.
Avoiding the sight of these templar knights, Brando secretly grabbed a tongue. The other party was a maid or a mountain man. This detail made Brando secretly admiring that Her Majesty the Queen was still very good at arranging scams-even though it was outside. The precaution is too much to cover up.
The maid was obviously not someone who knew the inside story. She was scared to death by the sudden appearance of Brando and others. Andrique put a bright scimitar on her white neck and almost fainted her.
After a cautious question and answer, Brando learned from the opponent that the villa is divided into two areas, inside and outside. The maids can only move around outside, while the Countess of Valache lives in the central area of the villa. In this room, you almost never see outsiders, and a few fixed people-including Her Majesty, can see her.
As for the others, they had never seen the countess.
This statement confirmed Brando’s guess. There is no doubt that Akane is not living in the villa. He is almost certain that the scepter of fire is placed in a room in the central area. As for what the maid said The few'butlers' should be the knight commanders in disguise, but I don't know whether they are the knight commanders of the Templars or the knights of the Flame Warlords. The difference between them is big.
Using sleep technique to make the maid fall into a dreamless sleep, Charles turned around and asked, "What should I do next?"
"Naturally act according to the original plan," Brando used the elemental magic water pattern to project a crude map based on the information provided by the maid. This map lacks the environment of the central area, but the periphery is still relatively clear.
He pointed to some of the corridors and said to Shire and the others: "We acted separately and entered the central area through these corridors. The goal has been determined. After we are done, we will break through and join the manor."
Charles immediately nodded, expressing his understanding.
Although the main purpose of this battle was to attract the Queen's attention, they did not intend to act stupidly according to the other party's arrangements. After all, this is the home court arranged by the Silver Queen, and it is obviously not wise to develop with the empire here.
Brando had already decided that this time she must let the Silver Queen steal the chicken without loosing the rice.
The scepter of flame reacted to the soul of Odyspheus, but Shire and Mordfes did not have the flame orb on them. His plan was to induce several knight commanders by himself, and then let Charles and the others steal the fire. The scepter is then exchanged in the manor, so that when Her Majesty responds, she can't help her decide the battlefield.
Of course, there may be real masters stationed near the room where the Scepter of Fire is located, but in the case of three-on-one, even if the Shire is in the extreme realm, they have the power to fight, but don’t forget the Shire and Mordfey. In addition to their duties, Si and Andrique are also traveling mages, so Brando is extremely relieved of them.
After arranging the task, the three immediately led their orders.
After a few people left, Brando realized that he was alone again. The state of the lone ranger was in line with his usual state in the game in the past, but he hadn't acted alone for a long time after crossing into this world.
In his memory, he seemed to have two subordinates around him more or less, either the card creatures of the Journeyman, or the senior sisters Nimes and Roman.
"Alright, or else I almost forgot the risky instinct." Brando shook his head and laughed at himself.
There seemed to be something sprouting in his heart. This long-lost feeling made him feel a little blood boiled. This is the factor of adventure. Although it has been asleep for a long time, it will never disappear. It can even be inherited from generation to generation. Once there is a chance, it will Wake up again.
For a while, Brando even had an illusion that he had once again returned to his heyday, and everything around him seemed to be back in the dungeons and copies of the game era.
Everything is under control.
He walked deep into the deep aisle. Although the maids in the villa could not see Akane's face, they had to deal with several'housekeepers' in the villa more or less.
In the mouth of the maid, a housekeeper named Chernan lives in the outermost room. On weekdays, he mainly comes to give them daily instructions. Although occasionally it is another housekeeper, most of the time it is this person. Responsible for coordinating the daily life of the manor.
In addition, she also knows that butlers like to meet in a small meeting room on the first floor. According to other servants, it is the butler’s lounge and a restricted area for the servants.
Through these words, Brando can already infer that the butler, or knight, named Chernan, is responsible for the outside world among several knight commanders, and may also be the person in charge of perimeter defense. And that so-called lounge, I'm afraid it is the temporary command and alarm center of the knights.
His goal is precisely the former.
Brando didn’t guess wrong. The butler, Chernan, whose real name is Pridien, is a great knight of the Flame Warlord. His strength is on the side of truth. Because he is mainly responsible for logistics in the Knights, he is in this mission. Zhong is responsible for coordinating the daily operations of the manor, and at the same time, he is also the person in charge of the entire manor's outer defense.
On this day, Pridion was notified early that the long-awaited enemy might appear tonight, so he did not go to bed as early as usual that night-as a penance knight, Pridian’s work and rest are extremely regular. Every night the queen of the snake goes to sleep before the star rises, and gets up before the moon sets the next day.
He put his sword at the table, lit a candle, and sat quietly on a chair, waiting for the enemy to appear.
As for the outer line of defense, he has never cared about it. Due to the request of Her Majesty the Queen, the outer guard is full of loopholes in his opinion. It is better not to, so as not to look upset.
Therefore, when the Templar knight below came to report to him on the daily patrol, he simply opened his eyes and closed his eyes, but didn't hear it.
It's the same whether you listen or not anyway.
But at this time, he suddenly felt something wrong.
Twelve seconds have passed since the breathing of the two Templar knights outside the door after the thirteenth time. Although people’s breathing is longer than ordinary people after their physical fitness is improved, no one will do so for no reason. Hold your breath.
Besides, it is still two people together.
Plydian subconsciously stretched out his hand to his sword, but before that, a dazzling black brilliance had already pierced out of the void.
It is the blade of the sword of the earth—
