Chapter 70: The Longest Day, II
It didn't take much effort for Lulunaka to infiltrate this palace. Floating from the direction of the lake, which is very easy to spot, should be a very exposed action in itself, but the act of monitoring the lake itself is easy to make people lax - so there are not many guards who will keep an eye on this side of the lake. Coupled with the fact that there seemed to be some commotion in the place, the guards were not paying attention to the lake that they were already tired of seeing, so it was easier for Lulunaka to come in.
Of course, Lulunaka uses some special "tricks", which is a big reason why she can sneak in so easily. A potion that can make a person's figure disappear without a trace is not something that can be seen everywhere. When she was in the imperial city of Busa, she relied on this to enter the depths of the imperial city and meet the old emperor. This potion is a good thing, but Lulunaka has no intention of commercializing it - not because it works well and will be used for evil, but because it is a little flawed in terms of safety. For example, when this fluid penetrates into the skin, it will visibly damage the muscles and bones, and it is immediate, and it will corrode and destroy the human body very quickly. To make a person disappear, this is a very high-tech, very risky work, to deceive other people's eyes, ignore people or things, is not an easy and simple thing, this is one of the costs.
Lulunaka thinks she's not the kind of good-natured businessman who cares about the lives of her customers, and if she wants her to do so, she'll be content if she can sell her things - but that's the only thing that doesn't make it right to sell it. Because of this invisible elixir, as long as ordinary people get it, the body will be destroyed immediately, basically, and completely.
Something that doesn't do anyone any good, and then can easily destroy a person, Lulunaka doesn't think it can be sold as a commodity—if it is sold as a weapon, it is a bit too limited, and it is not very cost-effective. Lulunaka still wants to make the most of what she makes.
That's why she left these potions behind, neither sold nor destroyed. Although she has such and such problems, she can use this one well. For her, there are no physical problems.
Relying on the problematic invisibility potion, Lulunaka easily bypassed the guards and entered the old palace. If you go inside, you will be much less likely to be discovered. Humans are creatures that tend to be overly wary of the outside, ignoring the changes and anomalies inside, and Lulunaka is now part of the "anomalies" in this old palace. Before the invisibility wears off, find the servant's room, steal and change into clothes that fit properly, push the door open, and walk out to meet the hurried guards, who bow their heads and get out of the way - the guards don't even look at Lulunaka, and walk over.
This is Lulunaka's perfect disguise. It may have been too difficult for the guards to discern what was wrong with a little girl.
In this way, Lulunaka walked in the corridor of the old palace, holding a container of water in her hand, completely like a servant, no one would doubt her, at most she would think that she was a little raw, and then thought that there was a new person in the old palace. Lulunaka's low posture and pitiful smile made it hard to suspect that she was someone who had just infiltrated from the outside.
As she walked down the hallway, Lulunaka met the guards and some servants who were doing the same job as herself. It's just a few words, but she's got some interesting information from them.
"That lord has left the old palace again?" "I hope he can think carefully about the feelings of the guards and the governor......" "If His Highness is such a person, there will be no today's matter." "In the end, aren'......t we the ones who are punished for their negligence?"
From these fragmentary words, Lulunaka could easily draw a conclusion. This big man in the old palace left here for some reason, and he left very willfully without telling anyone. That's why there was a sudden commotion in the Old Palace. But the guards and servants, though a little nervous and hurried, didn't really panic completely, making everything worse—as if they were used to it. It seems that the owner of this old palace is still a very willful person, and his wayward behavior has made those who serve him accustomed to it.
This is a good thing for Lulunaka. She didn't come here to see any big people, but to see old friends.
Lulunaka relied on her humble gesture and cute smile to pass by those who couldn't see her disguise. Finally, she came to the front of a door. Relying on the words of others, as well as the information from others who pretended to be new and pretended to be pitiful, let her know that the place in front of her was a study in the old palace, and it was a place used by the owner of the old palace.
Now there was no one around Lulunaka, and she gently pushed open the door and walked inside. After crossing the threshold, she closed the door softly. Now, she was cut off from everything outside.
Turning around, she set the container aside in her hand. On the side of the entrance, there were shelves where containers could be placed, and it was not suspicious for she, as a subordinate, to bring water over here - provided that she did not close the door, and after placing the containers, she continued to walk on her own and into the depths of the study. But if you don't, it's not Lulunaka.
Lulunaka looked around, feeling as if she had seen the same view somewhere. She thought for a moment, remembering what was going on. This place, like the old emperor's study, feels similar, stuffed with books, arranged with large maps, and all kinds of strange things......
Lulunaka, who walked inside step by step, muttered to herself in a low voice: "I see, the taste is the same, but there are traces of deliberate imitation......"
Eventually, Lulunaka arrives at a table. There was nothing on the table, except for a map that covered the table, with chess pieces, small flags, and delicate knives. The map is made of thick parchment paper, and it is very finely drawn, with notes that can be called complicated.
"Hmm...... This one is a little different. Lulunaka looked down at the map. Suddenly, a glittering, cold blade grazed her neck and made intimate contact with her throat.
"Before I noticed, there was a thief. Behind Lulunaka, the Dark Elf held a sword to her neck.
