In the soul space, Todd looked at the clear and detailed schematic map of the royal city on the computer screen, and asked in surprise, "How did you get this map in such a short period of time?"

"The alien race is bigger than you think, and the map of the Ulster Palace has been secretly mapped for a long time. Putting a scoop of ice cream into her mouth, Rachel closed her eyes with pleasure: "It's better to be here, I can enjoy everything to my heart's content, but I don't have to worry about getting out of shape." ”

Todd gave her a funny look, "But after you leave here, your belly is still empty." ”

"Isn't it enough that this wonderful taste has always been in my mind?" Rachel put down the spoon, the corners of her eyes curled with a smile, giving the woman a charm rarely seen on a daily basis.

Todd shrugged.

"You want to enter the palace and find Aisha?" After saying this, Rachel glanced at him, "Why didn't I see that she was so important?"

"As I said before, she is familiar with the routes and hydrology of the North, and is the liaison between the Kingdom of Twilight and the future barbarian outposts. ”

Putting the spoon in her mouth, Richer mumbled, "I still can't trust her." ”

"I have a way to keep her under control, at least to keep her moving. Todd took one last look at the map on the screen and reached out to turn off his computer.

——————————————

The October nights in the city of Arma are cold and wet, and few people choose to walk the streets at this time.

Todd, dressed in a black cloak, walked through the alleys and rooftops as fast as you thought you could see in front of you.

Arriving at the foot of the royal palace in the middle of the city, Todd looked at the tall walls that stood tall in the night, and began to take off and fold his clothes, and put them in a hidden corner at the base of the wall.

Then he took on the form of a monster, his iron claws embedded in the wall tiles, and climbed up the smooth wall.

The strength of the ability in the monster form is much greater than that in the human form.

For example, the magnification of Eagle Eye can be increased from six times to 100 times, the perspective ability can penetrate not only thin objects such as wooden planks, but also heavy stone walls and iron plates, and night vision can not only see objects at night, but can also automatically identify the type of creature based on the heat and magnetic field emitted by the creature, and even lock on to a specific target.

Relying on these three enhancements, Todd, who transformed into a monster, carefully dodged the sentry and guards, and successfully made it to the council hall in the depths of the palace.

The hall was brightly lit, and well-armed Ulster guards stood on both sides of the hall.

King Concierber sat on his throne and looked at his cronie Fergar who was kneeling at his feet.

Todd, who was lying on the wall outside the window, regained his human form and adjusted his posture to make sure he could hear their conversation.

"You want to take over the Red Circle?" Concierber said in a teasing voice.

"Your Majesty, the director of the Colosseum has just become vacant, and I consider myself the most suitable person for this position. Fugar knelt down on one knee, touched his chest with his right hand, and said respectfully: "Do you know, for more than a year, the 'Red Circle' has not only not made a profit, but also suffered a loss. ”

Concierge frowned, "How so?"

"The number of people watching the gladiatorial fight is not as good as before, and although the former director has used a variety of methods, even including reducing the price of tickets, the business situation of the "Red Circle" has not improved. Fugar raised his head and said seriously: "But I promise you that as long as I take office, I will be able to make up for the loss within three months." ”

Concierber was silent for a moment, lifted the belt on his belly, and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, this position is still the fattest errand in the kingdom. ”

Fugar smiled bitterly: "My Majesty, what do you want to do before you are willing to let me take over this position?"

Concierge stroked his beard, his voice a little out of shape because of the faint excitement: "Cú Chulainn will never come back......"

Cúchulainn?

Trainees of the Shadow Realm?

A familiar name suddenly popped up, which stunned Todd, who was eavesdropping outside the window.

Concierber shook his fat body, smiled and said, "And your daughter Emer's life's event can't be left unsettled, right?"

Fugar's body trembled, and he buried his face deep in his chest, and suddenly showed an indescribable anger.

After being silent for a while, the king's close minister finally calmed down and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I made a one-year covenant with Cú Chulainn, and if he returns from the country of shadows, I will promise to marry my daughter to him. Even if the chances of him returning are almost none, I can't break faith in advance. ”

Unable to see the king's expression, Fergal could only catch a glimpse of his feet, stomping heavily on the ground, an action that expressed Concierber's deep displeasure.

Lowering his head a bit, Fergar remained silent. He did not intend to let go of his words in this matter, and in his opinion, his daughter's happiness was far greater than anything else.

"In that case, let me think about the choice of the director of the gladiatorial arena again!" Concierber waved his hand, signaling Fergar to disappear from his eyes.

Watching the courtiers who rejected him slowly exit the door, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he slapped the armrest of the throne hard, and shouted, "Go back to the dormitory!"

Escorted by the guards, Concierber left the main hall and headed for the dormitory at the back of the palace.

Using the abilities of Eagle Eye and Night Vision, Todd kept his body short and followed the King's Guard along the inner wall.

Watching the fire in the palace go out, Todd waited for another hour under the castle of the royal palace. It was estimated that when Concierge was already asleep, he transformed into a monster again, moved and jumped along the edges and corners of the city wall, and climbed lightly onto the balcony of the dormitory.

As soon as he walked into the outer room of the dormitory, Todd used his abilities to see a lot of interesting things.

Flap traps, bell alarms, tripping ropes, crossbow traps......

In the huge king's bedroom, there were no less than fifteen traps and traps, large and small. This not only made Todd feel how many enemies Concierber had, but also how much he was afraid of assassins.

Using the dexterity of the monster form and avoiding all the traps one by one, Todd finally walked to the king's bed and saw the king of Ulster sleeping like a dead pig.

Slowly stabbing the tip of the Iron Claw into Concierber's temple, Todd began searching his mind for the message he wanted.

In addition to those disgusting, unbearable indiscriminate killings, tortures, ** and tortures, Todd finally found a desired memory in the depths of the other party's memory.

In the prison in the underground tunnels of the palace, Concierber was loudly reprimanding a woman known to Todd, Aisha: "You despicable thief!

Piercing whippings, blood splatters, angry roars.

Like a dead body, Aisha was tied to a wooden frame, covered in bruises.

She raised her head slightly, and spit a mouthful of bloody spit on the king's chest.

At the end of the memory, a huge fist slammed into Aisha's cheek.

Withdrawing from his memory, Todd's heart was filled with rage, and he raised his iron claws in the air, about to slash at Concierber's throat.

The iron claw stayed a few centimeters above the latter's neck, but it still didn't fall.

If Concheurber dies, the kingdom of Ulster, without a crown prince, will be plunged into endless wars and divisions, which will give the kingdom of Connaught in the east a best chance to rise.

Once Connaught annexed Ulster, the northern barbarians would form a unified empire, and the kingdom of Twilight, which would be bordered by sea and land, would first face the Iron Hoof from the north.

It's simple to kill someone, but if you trigger a chain reaction, how to deal with it is what you should really worry about.

An hour later, a farm on the outskirts of Amma.

A man in black carrying the wounded on his back knocked on the back door of the country inn, looked at the elderly peasant woman looking around, nodded and said, "Please tell Sister Richer that I have brought a friend from the sea who is in urgent need of healing and rescue!"
