Chapter 111: Stealth Elixir
On the street not far from the City Lord's Mansion in Boulder City, several figures stood in the mouth of an alley, and because this angle was obscured by the shadows of the houses on both sides, no one would notice their presence.
"My lord, I have found out clearly, Macbeth has not left the mansion today, he has been in the lord's mansion, but his son Bolton has left a few times, the last time was in the evening, and he has not come back yet!"
"Well, you've done a good job! After today's operation, you're free, and if you want to stay in my territory, the house and lodging will be arranged for you, and the garrison and the lord's mansion will be short of manpower, and you're welcome to join at any time. If you don't want to stay, you can leave here, and I'll give you a sum of money, which is enough for you to live for the rest of your life!"
When Ade heard this, his heart was happy, and then he hesitated. However, after glancing at the few people in front of me, I finally made a decision in my heart.
"My lord, I plan to stay in Dalaran, but what I am best at is being a spy, I hope you still need me to spy on you!"
"Okay! I am short of intelligence officers like you, if you join, I will appoint you as the captain, responsible for training some people in the territory, if you do a good job, the position of the intelligence director of Dalaran will be yours in the future!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After this topic was finished, Donald began to inquire about the situation inside the City Lord's Mansion.
"My lord, the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are at least three layers of guards patrolling around the circle, if you don't break in, it is estimated that you will need a silver-level assassin or thief to sneak in......!
Donald listened and said, "Don't bother! I ask you, Macbeth doesn't have a mage above the silver rank, right?"
Ade nodded his head and signaled no.
"That's easy, this is an invisible potion, drink it, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack and don't make a sound, you won't be discovered!" Donald just explained to Ade alone, Uther and the two are heroes, most of their knowledge comes from Donald's memory, and they naturally know the effects of the potion produced by Warcraft.
The hidden potion embodied in the Book of Truth can block all the light and shadow effects around the user, as long as it is not close to the strong above the black iron, it will not be discovered, and generally it takes at least a bronze level mage to use a detection spell above level three to find this level of invisibility, but the bronze mage will not keep wasting magic to release detection spells. Therefore, unless it is a silver mage whose spiritual power can spread all over a radius of a hundred steps in an instant, and form a network to feel all the subtle changes around him, or a silver warrior who is extremely sensitive to changes in the environment, no one in this city lord's mansion should be able to detect their existence.
Of course, if the movement is too big, or if you come into contact with other people too closely, then it will naturally be noticed.
This potion is simply the best equipment for the two professions of assassin and thief, and the effect of the potion combined with its own stealth and concealment skills is estimated to be at least able to achieve the stealth effect of the silver assassin, and it is possible to achieve cross-level assassination.
When the potion arrived, under Donald's order, the four of them drank it together, and then saw that the figures of the four of them disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go, lead the way!"
The four of them swaggered to the bottom of the wall of the City Lord's Mansion and climbed over lightly.
In the Lord's Mansion of Boulder City, there was Ade, a spy who was familiar with the terrain, leading the way, and the four people who had hidden their bodies walked past a group of patrolling guards until they came to a closed mansion in the inner mansion.
"Stop!"
They had already come here, but Donald suddenly gave an order, and the other three couldn't help but stop.
"My lord, why don't you go? This is where Macbeth's secret study is located, and it is here that important and secret affairs are usually discussed, except for a few core subordinates and his eldest son Bolton, even the most favored Viscount Miss is not allowed to approach, Macbeth has not spent the night in his bedroom for three days in a row, and now he must be staying in this courtyard. This is already the safest place in the City Lord's Mansion, so there are no guards arranged, which is just convenient for us to enter!"
Donald looked thoughtfully at the walls of this beautiful courtyard, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Although there are no guards patrolling and guarding here, the entire courtyard is shrouded in a spell barrier, and there is an eighty percent chance that it will be a warning barrier, and the slightest touch will sound an alarm. Once people sneak here, they all have the same idea as you, and before they can climb over the courtyard wall, they will be surrounded by a large number of masters, and it will be basically difficult to fly!"
"What?"
Ade was taken aback, thinking of what would happen if he acted rashly, he was in a cold sweat at that time.
Then he said in surprise: "But I know that the Macbeth family has cultivated a lot of assassins and swordsmen, but the mage is only a beginner and two apprentices, so it shouldn't be possible to deploy this method, right?"
"Of course not, but don't underestimate any noble family, after all, the Macbeth family is also a nobleman who has existed for almost three hundred years, and it is not surprising that there are a few pieces of magic equipment as hole cards. ”
Ade is not a core subordinate of the Macbeth family, and he is generally responsible for listening to the news outside under the command, so he has never entered the inner house, so it is not surprising that he can't detect such a situation.
Hearing that Donald didn't blame him, Ade breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said:
"My lord, how are we going to get in?"
"Be patient, the opportunity will come soon. ”
And when he had finished speaking, he said no more. And Uther and Kael'thas are two stuffy gourds except for Donald, who don't like to communicate with other people.
Therefore, among the four people, only Ade felt that the waiting process was more difficult, and time seemed to pass very slowly. Fortunately, he was also trained as an assassin and could endure such a situation. It's just that thinking about the future of the young lord of Dalaran after completely defecting to the young lord today, it has been difficult to calm down in my heart.
Half an hour passed quickly after Ade's tormented hours of waiting, when Donald suddenly whispered:
"It's coming!
Ard was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that he would affect the new master's affairs.
As soon as Donald finished speaking, after a while, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper and two maids walking from the brightly lit inner house, still holding a lunch box in their hands. It seems that it should have brought refreshments to the host.
At this time, Donald took the time to whisper: "Follow him and we can go in, act carefully later, don't be discovered by him!"
It was only then that Ade was very impressed by the wisdom of the new master, such a method was so simple, but he had not thought of it before.
The three people on the opposite side arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the middle-aged housekeeper spoke:
"Alright, give me something, you guys go down!"
The two maids were not surprised at all, they should have been accustomed to this situation, and carefully handed over the two wooden lunch boxes to the butler, and bowed to leave.
The butler took out a badge-like item and pressed it against the door, and then the courtyard door opened by itself, and then Donald's low voice came from Ade's ear.
"Action!"
Among the four people, Uther and Donald were the most skilled, after all, the two of them were warrior-type hero professions, and they didn't even bring the news to the wind, so they passed the middle-aged butler and entered the courtyard first.
As for Ade and Kael'thas, one is a trained Black Iron Thief, and the other is a high elf with agility despite being a legal profession, so they both infiltrated it smoothly.
The middle-aged butler is just an ordinary person, so naturally he doesn't have the slightest feeling, if he changes someone, his strength doesn't need to be too high, just a warrior at the peak of black iron, it is easy to feel that something is wrong.
After the middle-aged butler entered the courtyard, he went straight to one of the studies in the main compartment, not knowing that he was approaching his master with four tails.
"Rest, master! Dinner is ready. ”
At this time, Viscount Macbeth was sitting behind the bookcase and looking through the materials, and he had been living in this secret study for three days in the past few days. It's about whether his family can grow stronger, and he can't help but be as careful as possible, so these things must be done in secret, and no rumors can be revealed.
"Put it down, I'll use it later!"
As soon as Macbeth finished speaking, he heard a third voice in the study.
"I think you'd better enjoy this last meal, because you'll never have a chance again!"
"Who?"
Even though he was a little tired, Macbeth remained alert, his face shocked as he reached for a badge on the bookcase.
But at this time, a dark streamer hit his body in time, and Macbeth's hand was as stiff as a statue before half of it was stretched out.
At the same time, before the butler could understand what was going on, he was knocked unconscious by Uther's sudden attack.
As the two of them cast spells and attacks, they withdrew from the effect of invisibility and revealed themselves in the study.
Although Macbeth, who was already stiff, could not move even a single eyelid, his five senses such as vision still existed, and it did not affect his brain's thinking.
Seeing that the person who came was a thorn in the flesh of Donald, he knew that he would inevitably be difficult to be good today.
This is a third-level spell that Donald has prepared since he entered the house, and it is one that he has learned from the spells of other schools collected by his teacher Messer.
Although it takes some time to prepare, the effect is significant. It can instantly immobilize a humanoid creature, and the duration depends on the caster's own cast level and soul strength, of course, the target can also be used to try to break free from the spell, but without the help of special items or powers, the strength must be at least equal to that of the caster to be able to break free in a short period of time.
Looking at Macbeth, who was imprisoned as a humanoid statue, Donald was not like the villain in those film and television works in his previous life, he was rampant as soon as he won a little victory, leaving the protagonist with a chance to turn the tables, and finally ended miserably.
"The lion fights the rabbit, and also with all his strength, I never believe in any protagonist mode, or be cautious and honest to be a **oss, treat the enemy must be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves!"
The enemy was right in front of him, and a rare sentence from Donald's previous life came out, and of course, except for Uther, the two heroes who inherited some of his memory knowledge, no one present knew the deep meaning.
However, the basic meaning of this sentence Macbeth can still understand, so he can't help but feel half cold in his heart, knowing that he can't hide this time.
