The winter on the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea was relatively wet and cold, with a lot of rain and snow, and there were no closed and warm means of transportation such as cars in this era, so every night, the bustling streets of Constantinople were empty for a long time, and the occasional tapping sound from a distance was the city guard in charge of patrolling.

The weather was cold, and the soldiers who were not very thickly dressed had to stamped their feet to resist the cold and also drive away drowsiness. However, this also provided a warning for Lao Luo's nocturnal journey, because there were not so many noisy noises in this era, and the population was sparse, even a large city with a population of one million like Constantinople was like a wilderness at night, and the surrounding buildings created a continuous echo of the sound, so even if it was far away, a little noise at night would clearly come to the ears.

The night is full, the thick clouds before the winter snow firmly cover the sky, because there is no street lamp, so the whole city in addition to the sentry, there are also the lights on the towers on the periphery of the Great Palace, it is dark all around, Lao Luo wears soft-soled leather boots in the alleyway, like a night owl as a strange figure, but there is only an occasional sound, even if someone finds out, it will only be regarded as a stray cat and dog, the darkness covers everything.

Tonight's goal is a small academy classified by military technology, because of the war, in order to prevent destruction, this academy is placed near the Grand Palace, but due to the size of the city, it is also surrounded by dense buildings and narrow streets, which provides a good environment for Lao Luo's stealth.

In view of the thefts that had occurred for several days in a row, Somme, who was in charge of the city's policing administration, was under tremendous pressure, and he had placed double the sentry and added an extra round of patrols, but he did not know what kind of opponent he would face.

For Lao Luo, it is just a manpower monitoring and security measure, which has no effect at all, and the infrared and thermal detection of later generations is the best warning measure. Although you can't underestimate people's sensitivity, the level of this kind of guard is really not a level in the face of Lao Luo.

Turning left and right, bypassing the detection of the police post, and playing a patrol team with a time difference, it was easy for Lao Luo to sneak into the academy. In fact, there are not many people in this academy, except for some scholars who are engaged in research, that is, craftsmen and low-level apprentices, and a small number of talented or noble disciples who follow the scholars to study new techniques of production.

Therefore, compared with other colleges, there are more experimental departments here, and there are special places for scholars to study experiments. Lao Luo went around in this kind of place, except for some smelting equipment that is very primitive in Lao Luo's eyes, that is, all kinds of primitive power processing equipment, Lao Luo only took a brief look and understood the principle and key. Leaving here, there's really nothing else to look out for.

Going around to the library, Lao Luo found that the number of guards here is exceptionally strict, in addition to the guards on the surface, there are also some people lurking in the shadows, it seems that this place is indeed not ordinary, and the recent events have attracted everyone's attention, that Sommeel's life must be not good, and the signs here seem to be a fishing.

It is estimated that this is an empty city plan, Lao Luo didn't care much about the things inside, so he didn't bother to ask for trouble now, he turned around and went directly to the place where the scholars stayed for a long time, probably an office building in later generations.

Because the accidents in recent days have been caused by libraries, there is no one paying attention here. On a dark night, the inside and outside of these buildings were pitch black, and Lao Luo's eyesight could barely see the nearby scenery clearly.

People of this era especially like to lay thick carpets on the ground, especially in such places where the government pays attention and there is no shortage of money, which provides great convenience for Lao Luo - soft-soled boots are not silent when stepped on. It couldn't be better, the most troublesome thing is the classical wooden building, the aging wooden floor will creak when stepped on, and even if it is not loud, there will be hollow footsteps under the weight of the human body.

The Western scholars of this era were very happy, with huge palace-style buildings, elaborate and huge winter heating fireplaces, and huge long log tables in the interior...... There are many such places.

Lao Luo listened to the nearby noise, and directly probed into the innermost palace room, and only the best scholars will have the most superior conditions and treatment, it is unrealistic to search for one side like in the Great Library of the Kingdom, and it is obviously unwise to hesitate and delay time at this time.

The innermost chamber is the most central and largest of the dome. However, when Lao Luo approached quietly, he found that there was something wrong - there were people inside, and they would not be the masters of the palace, so there were only two possibilities, one was the vigilante who was waiting for the rabbit, and the other answer was self-evident, a competitor with the same purpose - Lao Luo's opponent.

In the dark-painted space corridor, Lao Luoya, who was standing against the wall, smiled, and if there was someone opposite him at this time, he would definitely be scared and fainted.

The space in the palace room is very large, but it does not seem empty, because through the door, Lao Luo can clearly see that the walls around the palace room are surrounded by very tall bookcases, a bit similar to the display of European classical study rooms hundreds of years later, and there are two huge ladders standing on the outside of the high wall-to-wall bookcases. In the center of the chamber is a large wooden workbench with a messy pile of unorganized experimental items, and next to them are chairs or other miscellaneous items.

The source of the sound was behind the workbench, and Lao Luo was quietly sticking to the wall next to the door, observing silently. The source of the sound can be heard, and at the same time, Lao Luo can also conclude that the owner of the sound is a delicate person, because the faint sound is actually not big, and the person's movements are very slight, but they are continuous, indicating that he is very bold.

After a while, a figure finally appeared in Lao Luo's sight, very thin, and not tall, about one meter seven or more, the owner of the figure was covered in dark tight-fitting clothes, covering his head and face with a hood - obvious nocturnal equipment. This equipment is much more professional than Lao Luo, Lao Luo didn't even cover his face, he just used an Arabic scarf to cover his hair, and he was wearing the same tight-fitting clothes, but he knew at a glance that it was a temporary incident.

The figure stood up, moved the ladder lightly, and reached a position, and the figure gently stepped on it and climbed up. One of the biggest problems here is that he said that he turned his back on Lao Luo.

Lao Luo immediately rushed in smartly, the carpet in the palace room is really a good thing, avoiding the clutter in the space, and there is no sound. When they got to the bottom of the ladder, the figure suddenly turned around, "Who?" As soon as the words came out, Lao Luo stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

The tall old Luo grabbed the back of the opponent's neck with one hand, covered the other's mouth with the other, lifted him off the ladder, and then pressed him heavily on the carpet. Let go of your hand again, and gently knock on the back of the other party's neck, the other party suddenly fainted, a little strange, the other party's neck is too thin?

At this time, I couldn't think so much, Lao Luo still remembered his original intention, he turned around and searched around, the unfinished model on the table was a trebuchet, the production was very exquisite, and there were also matching city walls and building models, it seems that the owner of the production has put a lot of effort into it.

Lao Luo likes this kind of delicate institution very much, and also appreciates the people who make these things, but this time is not the time to think too much, I'm sorry, I simply put it away together, and then look at the surrounding bookcase, there is not so much time to check carefully, although there is no big noise in the few movements just now, but sometimes it is inevitable that accidents will happen, Lao Luo is very interested in the things in the bookshelf, and it is too late to distinguish at this time, so he simply put it all away.

When everything was cleaned up, only the empty tall bookshelves and the equally empty workbench and a few work chairs in the center were left in this palace room, along with the surrounding miscellaneous furnishings, Lao Luo did not let go.

Looking at the figure lying on the carpet, Lao Luo didn't want to throw him here as a scapegoat, not to mention that he saw Lao Luo's face, maybe it wasn't clear, but it was always a trouble. Killed? It doesn't make sense, Lao Luo still admires the other party's courage. Forget it, this person can't take in the space, and it's not heavy, Lao Luo reached out and grabbed the other party's back placket and lifted it up, then supported the other party's waist and put it on his shoulder.

Ay? The other party's body is very soft, and his chest is bulging, and he is actually a woman. Lao Luo Xin said that it was strange, but he didn't have time to think about it, it was important to go out.

I have to say that the Western architecture of this era is really good, tall and airtight, very good sound insulation, when Lao Luo walked out of the scholar's work office, there was no sign of alarm outside, Lao Luo tossed and turned and easily left the scope of the academy, but unfortunately the careful arrangement called Sommel, it is estimated that after tonight, he will be scolded by his boss.

Moving away from the main street, Lao Luo returned to a small secluded independent courtyard, which was a temporary rented residence for Lao Luo to be used as a backup place for a safe house. Usually he doesn't live here, but is in the public eye such as hotels, which is the best cover.

Throwing the woman on her shoulder on the big bed, the woman rolled over, went to the other side of the bed, curled up, and touched her calf with one hand, but unfortunately there was nothing there, and the original dagger had long been put away by Lao Luo. Helplessly, the woman raised her head and stared at Lao Luo who was standing by the bed without saying a word, and Lao Luo noticed that the other party had a pair of black eyes.
