Chapter 468: The Messenger and the Spy

The Palomian envoys lived in an attic in the Demon King's Castle, and the emissaries from Palomia and their retinue were placed in this attic. As the ambassador of the Kingdom of Palomea, Count Taklin had quite a few people in his entourage, in addition to two lieutenants, more than a dozen servants and escorts.

While Count Taklin and his lieutenant were on their way to the banquet in the Demon King's City, several of Count Taklin's servants were staying in the attic, cleaning the room and sorting out their luggage under the command of the butler.

And when the Palomian ambassador, Count Taklin, returned to his residence drunk after attending the dinner party in the Demon King's City.

Tonight's banquet went well. Many of the high-ranking members of the demon clan are former nobles of the Norsbod Kingdom, and they are related to the Palomian nobles. Although most of these relatives are distant, this is enough to serve as a "topic" for both parties to communicate.

Through the communication with the high-level of the demons, Count Taklin has a better understanding of the situation of the demons, and at the same time, he has more confidence in completing his mission.

"Your Excellency." The butler stood in the doorway, stepped forward, and removed the cloak from Count Taklin's shoulder.

"What is Walker doing now?" Count Taklin asked casually.

Butler: "Walker's words, it should be in the house." ”

Count Taklin: "Tell him to come to me." ”

"Yes."

Count Taklin came to the bedroom at the top of the attic. The spacious and luxurious bedroom, standing on the windowsill with a view of most of the Demon King City, is one of the few good rooms in the castle.

The Count of Taklin stood on the windowsill and looked out at the streets and night markets outside the castle. Although it was already night, the city was still brightly lit, and almost every house revealed a glimmer of light, the light of the magic guide lamp illuminated the streets, and on the side of the balcony, the towering castle of the demon king was full of solemn majesty.

Condescendingly taking in the scenery around him, Count Tuckering sat down at his desk, picked up his pen, and began to write on a piece of paper.

A short time later, a middle-aged man dressed in servant's costume and looking very ordinary walked into Count Tackerin's room.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" The man saluted.

Count Taklin raised his head from the desk and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "Walker, have you found anything?" ”

"The castle is so tightly guarded, there are rabbits and maids and gargoyle statues everywhere, and there are no dead spots at all. And in addition to Mona, demons, and gargoyles, I also found some magic guidance equipment that looked like supervision equipment, and some hidden vigilance enchantments. ”

Count Taklin smiled and pushed the paper on the table forward: "This is the map I drawn, you can see if there is anything to add." ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward and looked at the drawings on the paper on the table.

The drawings were very simple, and they were the result of a combination of information from Count Tackerin's memories and the information he had learned from chatting.

"That's not right here." The middle-aged man pointed to a location in the picture, "This is the research institute, not the kitchen." ”

"Institute?" Count Taklin looked at the drawings and frowned slightly, "Are you sure?" All the food for the banquet was delivered from here. ”

“…… I'm sure. I wanted to go over and have a look, but I was stopped by the demon maid guards over there. ”

"Well......" Count Taklin frowned slightly, "it doesn't matter. Here's the key. Count Taklin pointed to a room on the map, "This is the Demon King's study, right here, at the very top. The King of the Demon Race spends most of his time working here. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Count Taklin strangely: "My lord, are you going to do something?" ”

"I hope you can go to the Demon King's study and hide this little thing in the Demon King's study." Count Taklin took out a small button beetle and placed it on the table.

The middle-aged man looked at the little beetle that Count Taklin had placed on the table and thought, "I can try." But not very sure. ”

"Try it. If it doesn't work, it's withdrawn. If you were caught, I wouldn't admit that you were ours. ”

"I understand."

After discussing the battle plan, the middle-aged man picked up the small beetle on the table and left.

Count Taklin stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the castle outside, with a hint of nervousness and indifference on his face.

Ever since Green was assassinated, the city of the Demon King has been heavily guarded. The demon maids act as guards on the surface, and there are also many Mona hidden in the shadows who act as hidden guards, and some of the more hidden locations also have alarm enchantments, but for Walker, these can be avoided by means!

Walker is no ordinary man, but a professional agent trained by the Palomian royal family, skilled in disguise, disguise, and infiltration. Of course, as an incursor, the ability to walk in the shadows and see magical aura is also a must.

After leaving Count Taklin's room, Walker returned to his room, took off his coat, and changed into a black outfit. Walker then went to the second floor of the attic and hid in a room on the second floor of the attic.

The demons sent a group of maids to escort them. The maid guards in light armor looked heroic, and the beautiful maid outfit looked like a work of art, but the silver metal patterns and surging magic on it made Walker understand that those demons who looked like vases were not as weak as they seemed on the surface.

The maid guards were stationed outside the Earl of Taklin's residence, purporting to be for the protection of the Earl of Taklin, but in Walker's eyes, it was a form of surveillance.

There were twenty-four guards in total, scattered around the attic.

Walker waited quietly.

At this moment, Count Taklin suddenly appeared at the door of the attic, looking like he was about to go out.

The appearance of Count Taklin instantly attracted the attention of the guards.

"Your Excellency, may I ask where you are going at such a late hour?" A half-orc maid escort stopped in front of Count Taklin.

"Oh~ It's okay. I just can't sleep and want to walk outside. Count Taklin smiled.

Hearing Count Taklin's words, the captain of the maid guard led by him frowned slightly: "Then let's send some people to accompany you." ”

"Oh, I don't need to use this. I have my own guards. ”

Captain of the Guard: "The gargoyles in the city will automatically attack others. If you don't have us with you, you are likely to be in danger. ”

Count Taklin hesitated for a moment: "I'll just walk around the courtyard, it should be fine, right?" ”

"If you don't leave the yard, no problem." The captain of the guard nodded, "This attic is specially prepared for foreign envoys, and there are no dangerous things arranged near the attic. ”

"Oh, okay."

Just as Count Taklin was attracting the attention of the guards, no one noticed that a shadow on the second floor of the attic had slipped from the upper floor in the night, and then the shadow slowly moved through the courtyard at a slow pace, in the direction of the Demon King's Castle.
