After that, the smell of blood soon alarmed the patrolling hounds. But the chief's Jiwei suppressed the villains who tamed the hounds. By the time they broke down the door, all they could see were large pools of blood that had begun to congade, and Brinnion's dead body.

The next show is naturally characterized by infighting and power struggles in gangs of villains. Others said they wanted to avenge the former chieftain or something. Of course, the actual action is naturally left to the minions below. And with the skills of those guys, the possibility of finding Minnie Mouse is undoubtedly zero.

She was now on the other side of the snowman, the settlement where the ancient clan courtyard of the snowman was located. And Minnie's target is naturally one of them. The Redguard named Amur.

A clan formed by the Redguards was able to take its place in the city of the Nords. Then this person must have something extraordinary. Either the combat power is amazing, or the proficient strategy, or there is a strong force behind it. Minnie Mouse leaned more towards the third point - the Redguards patrolling the courtyard were difficult to deal with.

[The load on the body is already approaching the limit, and if you want to continue to maintain your mobility, you can't fight too fiercely, and the dragon roar can only be used once at most.] If you use it twice in a row, this body will definitely break down completely. 】

Minnie blinked. After repeatedly confirming the Redguards' patrol route from the safety of the tower, they finally abandoned the strategy of killing a group of people and then infiltrating and killing Brinnion's men. With her current physical condition, she probably won't have the strength to do anything else after destroying the patrol net.

"Well, maybe I can wait for that guy to come out and get rid of him outside. The girl nodded, then shook it vigorously and rejected the idea.

"No, no, no, the leader of the scoundrels is clearly in cahoots with this guy called Amuron. They're clearly planning some big plan, and if the Redguards get involved, I can't do anything about them right now. ”

It's a real dilemma. Even Minnie Mouse immediately after leaving the villains' lair began to end up under Brinnion's men. But two legs were always no faster than four, and it was only when she finally brought the villain on horseback into her range that she realized that she had entered the snowy wind zone.

If there is a big disturbance here, it will be directly beaten into scum by the nervous guards!

[So, what should I do?]

The girl's head tilted slightly to the right by five degrees. Then she bent down and slid down the tower's slope with a puff of smoke. She vanished without a trace before nearby guards and passers-by could report it.

If you wait, you won't be able to change anything. And the natural development of things will always lead to the worst situation.

So, let's go a little closer first.

Minnie Mouse held her breath, slowed her steps, and shielded herself with shadows and rocks before quickly reaching a location closer to Amuron's house. Because she deliberately avoided the sword wound when she killed Brinnon before, Minnie Mouse didn't have the breath of blood on her body. This means that the patrolling hounds will not start yelling before they have even approached her.

[This is at least a good start.] 】

[So, what should we do next?, at least the two guards near the gate must be lured away.] 】

The clan house of the Amuron is a typical Nord style of architecture. The exterior is rugged and simple, with little shelter in the outer courtyard except for flower beds and a few large trees. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for low-level nightkin - they simply can't get into this place silently.

But that doesn't mean a complete disadvantage. After all, it's not completely dark, plus there is a good view from here. Well, this means that the guards will not be very vigilant. Minnie Mouse only tilted her head slightly to hear the whispered conversation between the two guards.

………………

Agra's eyes widened and he swept his gaze from left to right, and then from right to left.

It's good, nothing. It's all quiet, and there's nothing of note in the vicinity other than this damn starry night and cold weather.

Rather boring days, boring, tasteless, especially when the other companions in the mansion are being treated very differently.

He shrugged his nose and whispered as if immersed in some kind of aroma in the air, "Do you smell it?" The taste of authentic honey bread must be a snack at a dinner party. There are also roasted lamb shanks and sautéed silver crucian carp...... Oh! and my favorite tomato soup! I can almost see the white cream on the noodle soup!"

The guard next to him shook his head and replied helplessly, saying, "Agra, you better stand guard properly." No matter what you think, today's banquet is not our share. If Lord Amuron wants to entertain those gentlemen, he will not let too many people into the hall. ”

"Phew. Agra pouted, "It's just a few gangsters from the south of the city." ”

"Even if they're thugs, they're guests now. Kasindan said earnestly, "We have to do our part." ”

"Understood, understood. Agra raised his hand as if in surrender, "I really don't understand, it's like that outside." Lord Amuron is holding a banquet here, even if you want to boost morale, at least you have to invite some warriors to come, right, a group of **? What is this? ”

"Agra. ”

"You know, that's not something we should be thinking about. The Redguard turned his head and looked out from the position of the gate. "I wish something could happen, it's ...... like that."

'Phew!' a stone fell to the ground.

"Huh?"

Almost instantly, the Redguard named Agra pressed his hand to the curved sword at his waist and looked warily in the direction from which the voice had come from. And Kasindan on the side also made corresponding precautions.

"I'll take a look. Agra whispered, slowly pulling the curved sword out of its scabbard, carefully taking a few steps in the direction from which the sound came from. Subsequently......

The Red Guards shouted violently, and with a reflexive jump, they pounced in the other direction with their swords!

The Redguard shouted excitedly, and the clenched arc-shaped sword trembled slightly. It's such a simple trick of deception, but it's completely impossible to hide it from him.

"Fool, I hear your footsteps...... Huh!?"

The Redguard's movements suddenly stiffened. It's like a small animal in winter, and its every move is soft.

"What's wrong?" Kasindan asked warily.

Agra raised his hand with a smile, and a small black mass writhed under his fingers. "I think maybe we're a little too nervous. ”

It was clearly an injured black cat.

He threw the cat to the ground, and the little thing meowed twice, and then limped away with small steps.

Agra shook his head and said with some distress, "Uh, am I that terrible?"

Before his companions could comment on what he had said, several mice squeaked and rushed out of the corner, and then flew after the black cat in the direction from which it had fled.

"Wow, so Xueman's rats eat cats?" Agra said with a twitch in the corner of his eye.

Not only him, but also Casindan, who was also startled, stared in the direction where the cat and mouse had disappeared for five seconds before retracting his gaze.

"I thought, maybe this is something special?" he replied in an uncertain tone, spreading his hands.

……………………

Minnie leaned against the wall behind her, gasping for air.

Of course, cats can't be afraid of mice, and mice can't catch cats. But it wasn't hard to get them to run in the same direction, as both animals were afraid of humans, especially the ones who had been poking them with needles just a few seconds ago.

Use bricks to keep the guards' eyes off of them, then use a mouse to make them focus on the cat for a while. This way, Minnie Mouse will be able to get a chance to move, and with a little care, it will be easy to sneak in.

[Then, the second step is to go to the room.] 】

In addition to the guards patrolling the courtyard, there are also observation sentries on the rooftops. It seems that this place really hides some secrets, and if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be so heavily guarded. But that meant you had to climb the windows.

She pressed her ear to the wall and shifted three times in a row before finding a room that was completely motionless. The girl then stretched out her dagger and slashed the pin before quickly rushing in.

The room in front of me was just a very ordinary room, and there was nothing worth noting. Minnie only glanced at it and then strode closer to the door and peeked out through the hole in the key.

It's nice that there's no one outside.

The thin door of the camphor wood opened silently, and then slowly closed under the domination of inertia, and Minnie Mouse also took the opportunity to move in another direction, and then the next, and then the next.

Behind the vase, above the beams, inside the corners, she moved swiftly between these places. Occasionally, someone heard the slightest noise, which was quickly drowned out by other sounds.

[We have to create a little chaos before the two of them leave, and at least drag these Redguards down.] 】

Even if she wasn't close to the hall, Minnie could sense that there were quite a few people walking around. In addition to the guests, there are probably many guards and maids.

【Hmm......】

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps coming from a nearby hallway.

It sounds floating, it should be a maid, and the interval between each step is slightly smaller, maybe she is holding something in her hand.

It's a real send-off. So when the maid, who knew nothing, turned the corner, Minnie Mouse pinched her face with one hand, and held the plate the maid with the other, and dragged the struggling maid to the nearby empty room.

"I'm going to ask you some questions now, and you can shout if you want to die. Minnie whispered softly in her ear, and the girl in front of her nodded her head and stopped struggling.

Then, Minnie decisively stunned her.

It's not a good idea to take a risk at such a time, especially if it's not clear if the girl is a diehard of the Amuron family. Minnie couldn't be sure if the guy would rather die than shout a warning.

And her goal is just to get out after creating chaos, and to get out of the secrets or something.

All that is left to do now is to kill the maid in front of you, and then put it in a conspicuous place and wait for the guards to find out. But......

[I don't want to kill her.] 】

Perhaps because she also had blonde-red hair, Minnie didn't want to kill the girl in front of her. Of course, such a reason is ridiculous when you think about it, but it is an indisputable fact that it cannot arouse killing intent.

[Hmm...... This feeling. It's as if killing her is like killing a part of yourself, and she's not Alice!]

[Moreover, if you give up on her, you can only take a more dangerous way.] Not...... It's a bit safer that way, though. 】

She shook her head and decided to go with her feelings.

After all, this girl with the same blond red hair is about the same size as her, if you lower your face a little, and then cover it with the wine jug she is holding. Should be able to mix it up...... bar.
