Chapter 52: Infiltration
As the sun set and night fell, a slender figure shrouded in cloak flew over the moat and landed under the outer walls of the castle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Smack!
With an inaudible slight sound, she flicked her fingers, and a line of blood condensation shot upwards, sticking only to somewhere in the air of the city wall, failing to reach the very top. However, this did not bother her, only to see, between the condensation line contraction and pulling, this slender figure easily rose into the air, and then with a flick of the fingers, it firmly stuck to the top of the city wall, and pulled hard.
With a bang, she came to the top of the outer wall of the castle, and her movements were swift and unmarked, just like a guy with the word spider in her name, without alerting any of the castle guards.
She bent down, pressed against the wall, looked left and right, and took advantage of the blind spot in the sight of the two guards not far away, and dodged over some distance of the wall, and managed to reach the other side of it. Then, she looked down a few times to make sure that there were no secret sentinels or patrol guards noticing this side, and then she turned over, and the blood condensation line in her hand stuck to a certain part of the city wall outside the castle, and with a slight leap, she flew down from the top of the city wall and landed on the ground, and finally, she pulled her right hand and withdrew the blood condensation line.
After dodging into a dimly lit corner, she closed her eyes and felt the connection of the contract imprint, determined the direction of a certain magical girl, and then began to determine the details of that direction, hiding her figure, and sneaking over.
She walked a short distance when suddenly, somewhere in front of her, there was a small sound of conversation---
"Chief Richard, you... You can't ...... like that" This is the voice of a certain woman.
"Oh, beautiful Miss Lilman, don't you understand my heart, I love you so much......" was the voice of a man.
"But... But my father wouldn't agree!, he ......, "This is the voice of a woman named Miss Lilman."
"Miss Lilman, for your sake, I will find an opportunity to explain all this to your father! Although he is a respectable lord, he cannot prevent two people who love each other from being together!I swear......" It was the voice of a man named Richard Captain of the Guard.
“......”
This is some speechless guy.
She hid her figure, and when she heard what the two guys in front of her were saying, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull, and she felt a chill in her heart, and shivered all over, and then, she didn't bother to care about the two mandarin ducks who secretly met at night, and when the two guys were intoxicated with the wonderful feeling of touching each other's limbs, she was like a ghost in the dark, going around half a circle, and disappearing somewhere.
Soon, she managed to come to a certain place in the inner city of the castle, looked up at the tall rectangular window above her head, and with a movement of her fingers, a blood condensation line stuck to the edge of the top of the window, and with a slight pull, the whole person rose up silently, looked inside a few times, and finally landed on the edge of the window, standing firmly.
She turned her head and glanced around, and found that no one had noticed what was going on, so she stretched out her right hand and stuck it to the crack in the opening and closing of the window, and soon, a tiny line of blood condensation slipped through the middle of the crack, extended upward, and landed on something that looked like a handle in the window, and pulled gently.
There was a slight 'click' that echoed through the hallway behind the window, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
She carefully pushed open what seemed to be a glass-made transparent window, pushed it to an angle suitable for her passage, stopped what she was doing, and slipped in silently.
With her skills and the Mist Cloak on her body that disrupts vision and reduces the attention of others, she has managed to infiltrate the castle of Lord Rex without anyone noticing.
She walked cautiously through one of the corridors of the castle's inner city, clinging as closely as she could to the edges of the walls and dimly lit corners, moving cautiously, constantly adjusting her direction to the vague connection of the contract imprint. Soon, as she continued to search, the contract mark in her soul finally broke the silent dead silence, and a subtle fluctuation was heard.
Sure enough, the little girl Alexie is in this castle!
Moreover, judging from the fluctuations in the contract imprint, the location where she is located is quite close...... But there shouldn't be any traps waiting for you, right?
After a while, she came to the door of a room, and she stopped, speculating in her heart, and then, leaning her head and putting her ear to the door, to listen to the movement in the room, to guard against some possible existence.
However, at this moment, the door to the room opened.
“?!”
Someone was very vigilant, and hurriedly took a step back, just as she was thinking about how to find a place where she could hide in this unobstructed corridor, her heart moved, and a blood condensation line clung to the top of the corridor, and the whole person rose up like a spider spinning silk, hanging motionless on it.
As the door opened, a figure appeared behind the door, but a cute girl dressed as a maid walked out, her expression seemed to be a little puzzled, and the girl glanced at the left and right directions of the corridor a few times.
However, when someone saw the maid's face clearly, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and her heart was inexplicably surprised.
Because, who would this maid-like girl be if she wasn't a little girl like Alexie?
Before she could react to this, the cute girl who didn't notice anyone in the corridor just held her chin with her right hand, and then the girl actually raised her head and looked in her direction.
"Hmph, it's really you, stupid Xia!"
Suddenly, at the other end of her psychic connection, the voice of the cute girl in front of her came, but she was discovered by a magical girl.
"Hurry up and come in!"
After rolling her eyes in her direction, Alexie turned around and walked into the room.
"Uh......"
Someone sighed lightly in his heart, touched his face a little inexplicably, and then moved his mind, the blood condensation line in his hand was already elongated, and the whole person returned to the ground without making a sound.
She looked to the left and right of the hallway, and quickly entered the room, closing the door.
"Alexie, how did you become... What does this look like?"
She stared at a girl sitting in the room, pointed to the maid's outfit on the other, and asked silently.
However, Alexie just rolled her eyes, snorted a few times, and did not answer her doubts, but asked, "Hmph, just now the contract mark suddenly had a fluctuation reaction, I knew that it was you who sneaked in, stupid Natsu! However, didn't you go to the Mundra Valley? Why did you end up here?"
"Tsk...... I'm supposed to ask you this kind of question, right?"
Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, her tone became a little strange, and she said to a certain magical girl: "It stands to reason that you came to this Killwater City to investigate that Earl of Rex, right?
She bit down heavily on the pronunciation of a false identity and watched Alex smack her lips.
"Hmph, of course I'm investigating, stupid Natsu!"
Alexie naturally heard the meaning of this guy's words, and couldn't help glaring at her, explaining: "You think it will be an easy thing to investigate Count Rex? In order to get close to him, I waited a long time before seizing the opportunity of a castle steward to go out, mentally dominating him, and sneaking into the castle! If any person can know Count Rex's secret, do I need to do this? Stupid! idiot!"
"Oh, I see!"
Hearing Alexie's explanation, she nodded, and then she understood what had happened to a certain magical girl.
However, as long as she knows that this little girl was not caught by the leader of a thief group and imprisoned, she can rest assured that she has no worries about her life.
Looking at this guy who was suddenly relieved, Alexie seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but give her another roll of her eyes, and asked with a snort: "Hey, stupid Natsu, did you suddenly appear here because you found something?"
“......”
Looking at this scheming demon, she couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart, nodded, and told what happened to her in Mundra Valley, of course, something similar to personal privacy, she still hid it, so that she wouldn't tell this little girl everything.
"Hmm... You're saying that the leader of the Daybreak Thieves is in this castle and wears the 'Dream Crown'?"
After listening to her narration, Alexie couldn't help frowning, under the candlelight, those blue eyes shimmered, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing this, she didn't bother to make a noise, but began to raise her eyes to look at the room where the maid obviously lived, and seemed to be quite interested......
