Chapter Eighty-Three: Infiltrating the Lord's Mansion (Part II)
Ron and Will were clinging to Ginny's body, and they couldn't care about the embarrassment at this time.
If you want to hide three people from a distance of three meters, it is indeed a bit narrow.
Planck walked alone in front, and the stealth effect of the invisibility scroll was absolutely valid, but he could still detect the presence of the three comrades from the subtle footsteps that were not in line with his own pace.
The location of the sewers is not very far from the back door, and the guards here no longer know which bar or brothel they are squandering their excess energy.
Planck used the key on his body to unlock the back door and slowly walked into the lord's mansion.
If anyone saw Planck's movements at this time, they would definitely feel awkward, and after Planck opened the door, he stayed in front of the door for a short while, and twisted his body to close the door of the room again.
"Come with me. β
Planck felt the sweat in his palms oozing out little by little, it was the same thing when he was planning and preparing before, but when he really started to act, even Planck's big heart felt that his breathing became short.
Taking a deep breath, Planck's brain kept telling himself that as the only person on the "bright side" now, he must behave normally.
While following Planck, Ron observed the structure of this lord's mansion, the place where Lord Loa lived and worked, was much more luxurious than the previous lord's mansion in Yoder Town, in addition to the overall masonry structure, the interior decoration of the house, it can be seen that it was paved with wood, the corridor was slightly narrow, the torches and candlesticks on both sides of the wall brought light to the darkness, this is the lighting tool in this world, the doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, at the end of the corridor, Ron could see an upward staircase, two heavily armed guards, standing on both sides of the staircaseγ
"Captain Planck!"
Planck gave a military salute to the two soldiers, "I have something to go to your lordship." β
"Okay, please hand in your weapon, and we'll keep it for you. β
Planck didn't hesitate, took off the saber at his waist along with the scabbard, and handed it to the soldier: "I'll come down and get it later." β
Seeing Planck so simply, the two soldiers did not stop and directly moved out of the way to the stairs.
In fact, for these most basic soldiers, they are actually unwilling to do such a job as a doorman, Lord Roya's order, all officers who come in to meet are not allowed to wear weapons, but this kind of order similar to disarming may also cause dissatisfaction among officers, whether it is Lord Roa or these superior officers, they are not the object of their anger.
It wasn't until Planck's figure disappeared into the staircase on the second floor that the two guards began to whisper.
"Master Planck, it's the best officer I've ever met. One soldier dug his nostrils with his fingers and said with a dissatisfied expression: "You don't know that Battalion Commander Bran last time, he almost didn't quarrel with us." β
"Camp Commander Bran, that's okay, you keep quiet, don't let the experts upstairs hear. The nose of the other soldier suddenly twitched slightly: "How do I feel that there were footsteps just now?"
"I think you're too tired, I'm not going to see anyone except Master Planck just now......?"
......
Ron wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand, due to the small space of the stairs, the moment he walked up the steps, he stepped on the air and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he adjusted quickly, but even so, he still made some unnecessary sounds.
Fortunately, the two soldiers did not think about superfluous aspects, and they reached the second floor without danger.
The structure of the second floor is the same as that of the first floor, with the same narrow corridor and closed door, the only difference is that there is a faint incense in the air, Ron inhaled it twice, and the whole person's spirit is a lot more uplifted.
"It's a refreshing spice. Ginny's voice was faint, "It's okay to inhale some." β
"The Earl will enjoy it. β
Ron couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, the working conditions here were completely different from the backcountry of Bol City, and he and Merial didn't even have a decent room.
In the middle of the staircase on the second floor, the corridor suddenly expanded to form a large hall, and several soldiers were resting near the fireplace on the wall, and Ron noticed that the uniforms of these men were made of coats of arms similar to those of the previous ones, and the officers only glanced faintly at him as Planck passed by.
The staircase on the third floor!
Ron's gaze followed the steps, the camera of the steps had no branches of the corridor, only a constricted door!
Lord Loa is inside.
There is no bloody massacre in Hamp City, nor there is no tragic blood and tears on the battlefield of Yod Town, but the battle they will face next is enough to affect the fate of the entire Roa Territory and the entire Principality of Noah!
The guards here on the second floor even conducted a body search on Planck to prevent him from entering with hidden weapons, but Planck, who was already prepared, naturally couldn't find any dangerous items, and the two guards nodded to Planck and signaled Planck to pass.
Planck coughed as he consciously accentuated the sound of his boots falling on the plank staircase.
"Who's out there?"
There was some disgruntled voices in the room.
"My lord, it's me, Planck. Planck's voice trembled a little, but through a layer of wooden doors, Count Sean inside didn't seem to notice Planck's subtle change.
"Something came in and said the door was not locked. β
Planck subconsciously glanced back, but at this time, he saw the empty staircase behind him, and the guards guarding the staircase, took a deep breath, Planck reached out and grabbed the handle of the door.
The doorknob was so cold that Planck didn't even pay attention, and his palms were already covered with cold sweat.
Squeak β
The door opened, and a fragrance stronger than the outside came to his face, and Planck's eyes instantly fell on Count Sean, who was standing in front of the blinds.
"Why don't you close the door?"
Earl Sean didn't turn his head, and because the window was open, a convective night breeze blew from the wide open door.
"I'm sorry, sir. Planck felt a slight step on his boot and confirmed that Ginny had all three of them in the room, and Planck turned and closed the door.
Count Sean turned slowly, staring at Planck with a falcon-like gaze.
"Aren't you a sentry in the backyard tonight?
