Chapter 190: Curiosity Kills Cats
190
Listening to Miss Fan, Fan Tiantong is a master of alchemy, and his research focuses on offensive alchemy items, such as daggers that can break demons.
Fan Tongxin, who was led into the alchemy line by her grandfather since she was a child, has a very different hobby, she prefers to study some alchemy products with defensive effects.
For example, at this moment, the things on Shasha's body that she called the battle suit were all made of a lot of expensive materials!
Fan Tongxin is very satisfied with his results, although this bird looks a little dissatisfied, but Liu Fuyun will definitely appreciate it!
"Beautiful." Ignoring Shasha's complaining gaze, Liu Fuyun nodded in affirmation.
The results achieved through hard work are worthy of encouragement, and Miss Fan has been tossing for so long, how touching it is.
"Visionary." Fan Tongxin gave Sha Sha a look, and when he turned his head, he saw the newly added badge on Liu Fuyun's body, and was shocked. "You've made the cut? So fast! ”
She didn't test her talent until yesterday, and this morning she saw her grandfather instructing her magic, but she didn't expect to officially step into the ranks of magicians so soon.
"Congratulations! Let's go, let's not let the kitchen cook today, let's go out to eat and drink spicy to celebrate! Fan Tongxin ran over excitedly and grabbed Liu Fuyun's arm, and directly dragged her who had just entered the door and walked out.
The forgotten Sha Sha looked at the two figures in the carriage, looked down at his outfit that the bird could not accept, and flapped his wings a little frantically.
...
At night, Liu Fuyun, who was sitting by the window and cultivating the Eight Desolation Techniques, opened his eyes under the prompt sound of the system, and a pair of eyes with a little dark green in the depths returned to pure black in the blink of an eye, which was extremely bright under the moonlight.
"It's kind of exciting." The system opened the task panel and called up the side quest that had just been received.
Task Name: [Curiosity Kills Cat]
Objective: Save the cat's life
Details: Bring out the cat that is trying to explore the Castle Lord's Mansion at night without alarming anyone.
Rushing to the 60 points of seniority rewarded by the task, Liu Fuyun put on a relatively close-fitting combat uniform without saying a word, opened the window and jumped down.
Sha Sha, who woke up from his sleep, hurriedly chased after him and landed on top of Liu Fuyun's head, and one person and one bird quickly skimmed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
You don't have to think about it to know who the cat is who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and wants to climb over people's walls.
It was the time when the whole city was asleep, and even the noisy insect chirping during the day was much lower. The guards around the City Lord's Mansion were still standing straight, fulfilling their duties.
The already faint light suddenly dimmed, and the moon in the sky was obscured by a passing cloud.
One of the guards couldn't help but bow his head and secretly yawned.
As the clouds drifted and the moonlight reiled the ground, the guard looked dutifully ahead, as if nothing had happened.
On a tree with lush foliage around the corner, the warrior who took off his heavy sword and went into battle lightly took advantage of the cover of the leaves, and looked at the two guards guarding the gate with sharp eyes and without blinking.
Xue Zemu had already figured out before, and there were a lot of trap alarms set up in those flower beds and lawns around the City Lord's Mansion, which were safer than the paths that were specially designed for people to walk.
Rather than stepping on those invisible traps, it's much safer to sneak in through the main entrance.
Dressed in black, with a black cloth covering the lower half of his face, Xue Zemu stared patiently at the guard with a pair of exposed eyes, like a black panther hunting and staring at its prey.
After another unknown amount of time, the guard who had secretly yawned could not resist coming again. Yawning is contagious, and soon the guard standing on the other end becomes sleepy.
Standing guard on the night shift is really tiring and sleepy.
This kind of time is usually the time when people's vigilance is the worst, Xue Zemu narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and threw the stone that he had prepared early towards the wall in the distance.
Smack
The crisp sound was heard very clearly in the silence of the night, and the two guards, who had already had a slight tendency, instantly sobered up and looked at the source of the sound.
The two exchanged glances, and one of them drew his sword from his waist and walked towards the place where the voice had come from.
Naturally, nothing was found.
So the two guards straightened up again, sobered up a little, and their heads became drowsy as time passed.
Xue Zemu threw another stone out.
"What people!" The guards were shocked again.
This was repeated three times, so that anyone could notice that something was wrong. The two guards glanced at each other, both of them grasping the swords in their hands and not daring to be the slightest negligent.
But there was still a familiar night scene in front of me, and the leaves next to it rustled in the breeze, casting a shadow in the moonlight.
Yes! What a quiet and peaceful night! The two guards waited for a few more moments, and the strange sound did not appear again, as if it were all their delusion.
So they were confused.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed from the corner of the street not far ahead, so fast that only a trace of afterimage was left!
The two guards were horrified, and almost at the same time rushed towards the street corner, reacting quickly!
"You go back!" One of the guards reacted quickly to stop his companion, and when he saw that he also reacted quickly, he returned to his post before continuing to rush towards the street corner.
"Meow~~" A black cat squatted in the middle of the street, and saw a person suddenly rush out and look back, a pair of green cat eyes glowing with fluorescent green light.
After a long, treacherous meow, the black cat flicked its tail and jumped up the wall beside it, and soon disappeared from the guard's eyes.
There is no black shadow, it is clear that the elongated shadow of the black cat is reflected on the wall between the beatings.
Remembering the rumors of the Dark Sanctuary having appeared nearby recently, the guard took a deep breath to dispel any uneasiness in his heart, and quickly returned to his post.
At this time, Xue Zemu, who had already entered the City Lord's Mansion and hid in the backlight of the corner, took a brief rest, and followed the route he remembered when he came during the day towards the lobby.
There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if he felt that this was already a very cautious action that was too smooth, but thinking of his sister, he still forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart and continued to go deeper.
In order to investigate the matter of the Dark Temple, many of the powerhouses in Cangyuan City who were dispatched by the City Lord's Mansion entered the wasteland, and the guards here at this moment were not as strict as usual. What's more, even if he is discovered, it won't be a problem to escape with his skills, there's nothing to worry about.
He didn't believe what Xiao Yang said during the day, not to mention that there was a lady of the Fan family who clearly disdained Xiao Yang's words.
The Fan family must know something.
