Chapter 19: The Assassin and the Knight: Sending the Message
Alice gave Tang Tu three hints: the ball was held at the Palace of Versailles, and the dance must be attended in a formal dress, and there must be an invitation to enter the ball. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Palace of Versailles is easy to find, and this is Paris where you can find it by asking around.
As for the dresses... Tang Tu looked at the assassin basic suit on his body, and remembered that Oliver's butler called him one by one, obviously he wouldn't have any dresses, so there was only... I'm borrowing someone else's for a while.
To participate in the balls at the Palace of Versailles, only the master's dress was decent enough, and in this house there was only one male hostess, Monsieur de la Serre.
Tang Tu walked around the house, but did not find Mr. Drasseur's bedroom, but was caught by Oliver.
"Arnold, the horse ring needs to be cleaned, now, now, immediately, immediately, get out of the horse ring."
"It's okay to ask me to clean the stable, but you have to give me the invitation to the evening dance first."
"Invitations... Hmph, if you can clean the horse ring in an hour, I can consider giving you an invitation, if it is more than an hour, don't think about the ball, just spend the night in the horse ring tonight. ”
Oliver is the housekeeper, and he has the final say here, Tang Tu has no choice but to obediently go to the horse circle to clean.
After a busy job, Tang Tu finally cleaned the horse pen, and was so tired that he sweated profusely to find Oliver, but Oliver didn't know where to go, and he didn't see anyone.
Tang Tu complained, "This old man must have done it on purpose, he didn't want to give me an invitation, he didn't let me attend the ball, so why did I offend him, afraid that I would rob him of his housekeeper position?" ”
Tang Tu grumbled and walked inside, and was suddenly grabbed from behind.
The man puffed with a letter in his hand and said, "I want to see Mr. Drassell, and I have a very important letter to give him." ”
"Draxle is out." Tang Tu said while holding the other party.
"What to do? The letter must be handed to him right away, where did he go? "The other party hasn't caught his breath yet, and it's obvious that he's in a hurry.
"He's going to town hall for a meeting, where are you going to find him?" Tang Tu asked.
The "Ding Dong" system prompt sounds: the side quest is activated, please hand over the letter to Draxel on behalf of the messenger, the time limit is fifteen minutes, the task rewards the assassin's basic skills plus one, and there is no penalty for failure.
Tang Tu patted the other party on the shoulder and took the letter from his hand, "It's too late for you to look like this, don't worry, I will personally hand over the letter to Mr. Drassell." ”
Leaving the other party, Tang Tu spread his legs and ran.
Where is the town hall? On one wall of Mr. Drasel's study, Tang Tu had the pleasure of taking a few looks, and several important landmarks were remembered in his mind.
Fifteen minutes of walking through the streets and alleys is definitely too late, and the straight line between two points is the shortest, so you must first find this straight line.
Tang Tu ran all the way and looked around, the spire of a tower in front of him attracted him, it was there, climbing and jumping in climbing, thanks to the architectural style of this century, the brick structure of the house is much easier to climb than the cement hard wall.
Standing on the spire, with a bird's-eye view of half of Paris, from the Dressell Mansion to the Town Hall, Tang Tu drew a straight line, time was pressing, Tang Tu jumped down and landed in the haystack, quickly got up and sprinted.
The quality of the houses in Paris is very good, and Tang Tu runs on the roof with all his heart, and there will never be a sudden collapse of the roof.
From one roof to the other, Tang Tu finally reached the town hall, but he looked around and saw the carriage of the Drasel family.
There were still two minutes left in the time limit, Tang Tu hurriedly rushed into the city hall to inquire, it turned out that the meeting had ended, Mr. Drassell had just left, and as for where he went, they did not know.
Tang Tu was deflated and ran away in vain. Two minutes passed quickly, and the side quest failed.
Tang Tu sat on the steps of the city hall, looking up at the sky that had begun to darken, when suddenly someone shouted his name not far away.
"Arnold, he's there, catch him...", it's Victor and Hugo, this team of players who want to grab Tang Tu's things actually chased here, it seems that they have been watching near Draxle's house.
Tang Tu immediately jumped up and ran, this is the city hall, once caught, he will be sent directly to the sheriff.
Paris in this era was turbulent, and as long as they were caught by the magistrate, they would be thrown into the Bastille regardless of whether they were guilty or not. Although he was a little curious about the Bastille, Tang Tu didn't want to travel there yet.
Running all the way, almost the same way back, Tang Tu returned to the Drasel Mansion, the sky was already dark, the night light was on, and it was a good time for the dance to begin.
Oliver was still nowhere to be seen, and neither was the person who delivered the letter, so Tang Tu had no choice but to stuff the letter under the door of the study, hoping that Mr. Drassell would see it when he returned.
It's time to go to the ball, Tang Tu thought excitedly.
Not finding Oliver means that there is no invitation and you are likely to be turned away, but it is still worth a try. Dresses are necessary, and you can't wear an assassin's suit to the ball, it's too disrespectful and too cheap.
Tang Tu came to the laundry room, and the maid was sorting out the clothes.
"So coincidentally, this is Mr. Drassell's dress? I'll send it to you for you. ”
couldn't help but say, Tang Tu picked up the dress and left.
The dress is a pure appearance costume, which does not conflict with the basic Assassin suit, first choose the hidden equipment and then put on the dress, so that Tang Tu looks like he is wearing a dress.
The Palace of Versailles is not far from the Drassell Mansion, and because he was wearing a dress, Tang Tu strode all the way to the Palace of Versailles, and was stopped at the door without accident.
The dance party inside had already begun, Tang Tu came to the clock tower at the corner, climbed up to the roof with the rope of the bell tower, bent down and slipped over the roof, and then fell to the balcony.
As the residence of the former French emperor, the Palace of Versailles was too low in defense, and it was not at the same level as the ancient imperial palaces of China.
As soon as his feet landed, Tang Tu received a bombardment of the system prompt sound, "Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong...", it was a message sent to him by Alice, "Have you arrived", "Have you arrived"...
Tang Tu hurriedly replied to the message: I arrived, upstairs.
Alice: Wait, I'll come to you, don't wander around, something will happen.
Tang Tu waited obediently, but after a while, the beautiful Alice ran over, she pulled Tang Tu into a study, and locked the door.
Tang Tu chuckled, there are not many opportunities to be alone with a beautiful woman, but before he could say a few words, Alice pulled him up.
"Novice, as teammates, first of all, we have to trust each other, I didn't have time to talk about it in detail just now, now let's sort out the task first, I will first say, my mission goal is to 'live to the end of the mission', that is, I will face the situation of death in the process of the mission, what about you, what is your mission goal?"
“... I am an Assassin who has found my faith and read it aloud to the Assassin Order. ”
Alice's eyes widened suddenly, "You're an assassin?!" But I'm a Templar..."
