late at night.
The streets of Glory seemed quite quiet during this time. Another sect was labeled as a cult because of its evil intentions and was wanted throughout the country. The people in the city were also a little scared. As soon as it fell at night, few people would go out.
Therefore, in the quiet streets north of the palace, two figures flashed past, and no one noticed them.
They were two short men, a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be relatively young. They were dressed in pitch-black clothes and covered their faces with black cloth, looking exactly like assassins before they infiltrated.
"Sister...should we really enter the palace?"
The two stopped at a corner, and the girl stuck her head out from the corner and looked carefully outside the intersection. The young man leaned his back against the high wall, took a deep breath, and spoke with some fear.
"Of course!" the girl turned back and said decisively, "You also saw the result after praying to the goddess yesterday, right? Today is the day of being selected. The palace's guards will become extremely weak. We only need to sneak into that Everything can be corrected within ten meters of the Waste King."
"But... the high priest failed. They must be on guard now. Should we wait a little longer?"
When the girl heard this, she suddenly let out a soft snort: "What? Are you scared?"
"How is that possible? I..."
"If you are afraid, then go back now." The girl interrupted him, turned her head and turned her back to the boy and said, "Take the boat back to the island and live your safe life. I can complete the goddess's mission by myself. "
The young man took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and finally shook his head.
"...Okay! I'll go in with you."
"That's more like it." When the girl heard this, she turned around and smiled, and then said fiercely, "If you really want to escape back, I will break your legs. I will never let you return to the island to embarrass our family. !”
“…”
"Okay, don't be in a daze, the patrolling guards are gone. We have to get closer to the kingdom as soon as possible."
The girl tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes, and the two of them walked out from the corner quietly, one after the other. The street in front of them was empty, and the palace was only two streets away from them.
It took them about five minutes to reach the wall behind the palace. From here on, there are guards everywhere. Even in the middle of the night, energetic soldiers stood in the corners of each level, their eyes wandering among the suspicious shadows.
When the young man saw those sharp eyes, he shrank back subconsciously.
"Can we...can go there?"
"Of course we can't do it based on our strength alone." The girl said, taking out a small bottle from her waist, "However, I have a treasure left for us by the priest."
The young man couldn't help but look surprised when he looked at the small bottle.
"This is..."
"That's right, it took the elders decades to refine the elixir." The girl looked solemnly and slowly uncorked the bottle. "As long as we drink it, we will temporarily have the ability to compete with the priest." Comparable strength.”
When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but show some excitement. However, after he glanced towards the palace, the excitement on his face disappeared again for some reason, and he couldn't help but shrink back a few steps into the shadows.
"But... I still think it's a bit too reckless to do this." He said slowly, "Think about it, since the priests died inside, that mage must be very powerful. Even if the two of us drank the elixir, , how can you beat him?"
The girl frowned: "Are you scared again?"
"No, I just think something is wrong..."
"Enough! You are questioning the mission given to us by the goddess!" The girl shook her head, showing a disappointed look, "Maybe that mage is extremely powerful, but so what? Don't forget, the goddess guides our progress. "
"But... what if we die inside?"
"That was also a glorious mission. The heroic spirits of our parents under the deep sea will be proud of us."
When the young man heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and finally took the small bottle from the girl's hand and drank half of the potion. As for the other half, the girl drank it all in one gulp.
Then, the girl threw the empty bottle away, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Let's get started."
The young man nodded vigorously. Two pairs of young eyes shimmered under the dark night sky.
Some people appeared on the guard front, and the sound of the girl smashing the bottle just now was obviously heard by them. Therefore, after a moment of discussion, four or five guards broke away from the team and walked towards the corner of the street.
"Who is there? Come out! I see you!"
The soldier walking at the front casually used words to deceive. Unexpectedly, he actually made two figures appear.
"Do it, he saw us!"
Accompanied by a whisper, the guards were startled and were about to scream. However, a strong sense of oppression came from their hearts and suddenly overwhelmed their thoughts.
How...how...
At that moment, they felt as if something was stirring in their heads, which was extremely painful, but they gradually felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if they had walked into a place shrouded in smoke, and peace and tranquility gradually filled their hearts.
What happened next, they couldn't remember clearly.
"Sister, we... we seem to have succeeded!"
Looking at the guards whose eyes were unfocused and confused, the young man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed an excited expression. This was probably the first time he had achieved this effect. He looked a little too excited. If he wasn't afraid of being heard by people in the distance, he might even shout out directly.
"Yes... this is the power given to us by the goddess." The girl looked at the guards in a daze.
After a moment, she shook her head and came back to her senses.
"We have to act quickly, this situation won't last long."
As she said this, she and the boy directed the guards to come over. Under their instructions, the two smallest guards began to take off their armor. They also took the armor and quickly started to put it on themselves.
"Is it really okay to dress up as a guard and sneak in? This... feels a bit stupid." While changing clothes, the boy couldn't help but whisper.
"Shut up, just change it!" the girl shouted in a low voice.
About half a minute later, the two of them put on the guards' armor. In the dark night, it was hard to tell the difference between them and other guards. So, he used a knife to kill the two guards who had taken off their armor, and the two of them walked towards the palace with several other guards who were under the spell.
"What happened? It seems a little noisy over there?"
Outside the palace, the leader of the guards looked at the people approaching and asked.
"It's okay, a stinky drunkard fell down on the path and broke the bottle." Under the guidance of the two men's mental power, a guard spoke and cursed naturally, "That guy almost took the The bottle is coming towards us!”
"Hey...it's really a life-threatening situation if you get drunk and go crazy near the palace."
The leader shook his head and seemed too lazy to ask how they dealt with the drunkard. He turned his head and went to patrol another place. Seeing this, the two siblings also breathed a sigh of relief.
Slowly walking into the ranks of guards, they exchanged glances with each other.
Then, spiritual power spread silently among the guards like dense tentacles.
