Chapter 740: Emerald Castle
Legend has it that every visitor to the city of Gran for the first time makes the same initial move, stepping on the central avenue into the city, looking ahead, the first thing you see is the row of houses and high-rise buildings, your eyes may stay for a few seconds, and the next moment you will involuntarily focus on the mountain ridge that stands directly north of the central avenue, to be precise, the castle in the middle of the mountain that exudes colorful light.
The reason why Gran is called the Emerald City is not only because there are three large emerald mines around the city, but also because of the royal family of the Duchy of Rhône, who decorated the royal palace castle with jadeite, no one knows how much emerald was used by the royal family when the castle was built, only that every sunny day, the emerald castle emits enough light to enchant anyone who loves gemstones.
With so much jadeite, it can be said that occupying this royal castle is equivalent to owning a huge emerald mountain, which is simply a treasure in front of you!
When Bashas was amazed by the Emerald Castle, Kailot's gaze had already moved up, the top of the holy mountain, that was where he had to go, he already had two pieces of the bloodline chalice, and the great chalice within the Rimai Sect was composed of many bloodline chalice fragments Kailott didn't know, but Qingshu has created a powerful Inhuman army through the ability to give bloodline through the bloodline chalice fragments, if he can find another fragment here, he may be able to spell out about one-third of the holy grail, maybe he can develop other abilities of the bloodline grail。
In a taxi, Kelot asked the driver to take them to the nearest Midtown to the Royal Castle, which was at the foot of the Holy Mountain and where only the most prominent figures in the entire city of Gran were eligible to live.
"Bashas, grab the communicator, find a hotel and send me a message. ”
Throw a special communicator to Bashas, everyone knows that the top of the holy mountain is a forbidden place for the royal family of the Duchy of Rhône, no matter what capacity he goes to meet the king, it is impossible to get a pass to the top of the holy mountain, just as all thieves have to scout their targets before stealing, and on this holy mountain, Kailot is also not prepared to use the normal way, so he has to "step on the point".
It is not so easy to get close to the holy mountain, there is a jade castle on the mountain, if it is opened at will, maybe someone will want to sneak two buckles, and the identity of the royal family is there, and the status is always to be highlighted, so there is a circular arc-shaped city wall at the foot of the holy mountain.
Kellot wanted to see the situation inside the city walls, and it was not easy to walk up casually, let alone spread his dragon wings and fly into the sky to investigate, and after thinking twice, his eyes quickly fixed on the roof of a department store in the central city.
There is also a spar camera in the space ring that can be focused, as long as you stand on a high place, the distance between the department store and the outer wall of the holy mountain is only a few hundred meters.
"Tsk, isn't this dress a bit eye-catching......"
As soon as he stepped into the mall, passing by the floor-to-ceiling mirror at the door, Kailott looked in the mirror as if he was about to make a private evil deal, asked the customer next to him, and went straight to the ready-to-wear store on the second floor.
The department store has a total of five floors, and Kellot, who has changed his suit, generously takes the elevator up to the fifth floor, and after rejecting a few clerks who have gathered around, he arrives at the entrance to the top of the building.
No entry!
The crossed seals were affixed to the ends of the door, and the royal insignia of the Duchy of Rhône could be seen underneath the seals, and it was clear that the way that Kailot could think of to peek inside the city walls was also thought of by someone inside the Holy Mountain.
"Hey, there's an alarm button under this seal, what this security job does...... In the end, it is the Royal Guard. ”
Kylot wanted to tear the seal directly, but because of his height, he unexpectedly saw the red button behind the intersection of the two seals.
Now that he knows the small mechanism inside, Kylot naturally has a way to enter without opening the door, close his eyes and sense the things behind the door, the shadow under his feet seems to be suddenly given life, flowing in along the crack of the door, and then the figure of Kylott outside the door disappeared in an instant.
Burst~
The boots hit the ground, a layer of ash rose on the edge, the corridor behind the door accumulated a lot of dust because no one had cleaned it for a long time, and went up the stairs, pressing down the dust flying around, more than a dozen steps, to the rooftop door, the handle on it was still locked with a large iron chain as the last line of defense.
Crossing it in the same way, shapeshifting is simply not too simple to deal with such ordinary obstacles.
When he arrived on the rooftop, Kailot did not go directly to the edge to start shooting, but first watched the situation on the rooftop at the entrance of the rooftop building, the edge area was built with a fence, but it was only more than one meter high, and Kailot's height could not be hidden even if he squatted, so it was not good to go up and shoot in person.
He was confident that he would leave safely if the police at the garrison spotted him, but that situation had undoubtedly revealed his intentions.
Water Elemental Summoning
A small ball of water elemental turned into a slingshot in the shape of a spar camera, with its size, hiding behind the wall and no one could see it, and Kailot could share his field of vision with it, taking pictures of various parts of the wall one after another, the whole process lasted five minutes and then ended, and the number of photos was already dozens......
**
That night, Kailott changed back into his clothes, came to the foot of the holy mountain, studied the photos in the afternoon, the entire wall enclosed only the entrance to the front of the royal castle and the nearby area, the volume of the entire holy mountain is too large, it is impossible to completely surround it, but Kailott is not ready to choose other areas to break through, those places seem to be unguarded, it is very likely that there are a lot of early warning arrays, the front is so tight, it makes no sense that other areas should be left alone.
Rather than groping for a seemingly safe minefield without any reference, it is better to find a way to break through the encirclement from the front.
The photographs show that there are a large number of guards inside the city walls, not only are they guarded in various locations, but there are also a large number of patrols coming and going, and even a change of shape can be detected.
Standing in the shadows next to the road outside the wall, Kylott waited to count the time, waiting for the arrival of the shift changer, he was lucky to take the photo in the morning, he happened to photograph the personnel carrier when the guards changed the guard, the time was nine o'clock in the morning, according to the normal change of shifts, there should be a personnel carrier driving into the wall at nine o'clock in the evening.
The white searchlight was lit at the end of the street, and Kelot threw pebbles up and down in his hand, and threw them out the moment the car passed, and the ordinary pebbles easily penetrated the tires of the car with the blessing of power, which was the result of Kailot's control, and if he shot it out with all his might, it was estimated that the whole car would be knocked down.
The driver got out of the car as soon as possible to check the situation, found that there was a problem with the tire, and scolded and walked to the back of the car, where there was a spare tire, and Kailot took the opportunity to dodge under the car.
It didn't take too long to change the tires, and the troop carrier was soon back on the road, and when it arrived at the gate of the fence, because of the repair of the car on the road, it was almost time to take over.
Kellot, who was hiding under the car, looked at the group of guards walking next to the vehicle, waiting for the vehicle to stop, the photo taken in the morning shows the place where the troop carrier finally parked, and the door of a hut within the wall, which should be the place where the soldiers on duty were preparing, and when the car slowed down and the holy mountain appeared in his sight, he let go of his hand and turned to touch the ground.
Elementalize!
The water elemental flowed down the ground to the sacred mountain, and in a short time it clinged to the rock wall, and in this state it continued to flow upward, through the crevices between the mountain walls, until it was close to the royal castle.
The royal castle built against the holy mountain cannot really be built along the mountain when it is built, the huge castle wants to exist for a long time, and the flat and solid foundation is absolutely indispensable, and it is not difficult to find that the entire castle is embedded in the holy mountain in the current location of Kailot, and the exterior looks unified, in fact, all parts of the castle are separated, but the perspective of the entrance to the city of Gran seems to be completely overlapped.
To put it simply, if two blocks overlap to prevent the rear block from overlapping, and the block behind it is higher, then the person standing in front of it can see the state of the block in front and the part of the block behind that is high.
Observe the entire Royal Castle building...... No, it should be said that it is a complex, and Kailot quickly confirmed the route to the top of the mountain, and now all he has to do is to find a way to enter the top of the mountain without concealing the guards.
"Huh~ The duration of elementalization is still too short, just ten minutes is a little unbearable, and I have to find another way to mix it up. ”
Recovering the entity, elementalization requires a lot of physical strength, and Kylot's full strength can last for about an hour, but then it is very likely to fall into a situation of detachment, even if he goes to the top of the holy mountain, in case he meets the guards, or the bamboo basket is empty, he must save his physical strength to face possible dangers, and ten minutes of elementalization is already the limit.
And this top of the holy mountain is a forbidden place for the royal family, there must be a defensive enchantment, Kailot doesn't know how strong it is, but there is no doubt that it is definitely not a wise choice to break through, he needs to have someone who is familiar with the top of the holy mountain to reveal some information to him.
The royal family forbids the ground, how can the members of the royal family know some secrets, King Kailot does not dare to touch them, and the rest of the royal family is not so evasive.
The current location of Kailot should be the lowest part of the Emerald Castle, it is obviously impossible to live in the royal family, and the king and his queen must live in the highest building, according to the order of seats, the two sides of the upper castle should be where the princes and princesses live.
The status is too high, the guards are too strong to infiltrate, and if the status is low, you will become a fringe person of the royal family, and you may not be able to access the secrets of the royal family, and Kailot's target is one of the princes and princesses.
Jumping off the stone wall, hiding in the bushes next to the stone path between the Emerald Castle complexes, there are street lights on the road, but the light is not enough to fully reflect the side of Kailot.
It was about half past nine in the evening, and when I looked up a little, I could see the lights in the various rooms on the upper floor of the Emerald Castle, and the master did not rest, and the servants who came and went to serve were not qualified to rest, and every few minutes someone would pass in front of the bushes where Kailot was hiding, but unfortunately most of them were in groups of three or five, and it was not easy to start.
Patience is not lacking, the night has just begun, and what is unique to Kylo is time.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the number of servants going to the castle began to decrease significantly, and Kailot's opportunity finally came, two waiters with pastry plates in their hands were walking up from the middle floor, and Kailott felt that no one was passing nearby for the time being, so he walked out directly.
"You two come here, don't send anything yet, come with me. ”
Swaggered to the middle of the road, waiting for the two waiters to come.
"Are you...... Captain Guard, I don't know what you command?"
The waiter saw the documents that Kailot had taken out, which had been prepared for a long time, the photos taken this morning, and in the afternoon he went to check some information related to the royal family, including pictures of documents and the like, and the magic card that Konstantin gave him came in handy at this time.
"I have something to ask of you, come with me. ”
Took the two waiters to the dark place next to him, and when he came out again, only Kailote was left alone, wearing the waiter's costume, and his body shape was also reduced by his control of his own muscles and the help of a small range of elements, adjusted to a similar degree to the previous waiter, not to mention the face, with the iron mask, it only took a minute to change the face.
Following the other attendants, seeing that they were also holding various pastries and fruits in their hands, they followed the path into the upper level of the Emerald Castle.
Kailot deliberately avoided the line that walked in the middle, but chose to go to the side, stepping on the bright red carpet, walking up the staircase with gold trim, the dark gold filigree and various colors of jade interlaced on the wall hung a large number of oil paintings, mostly portraits, wearing ancient aristocratic clothes, the expression on the face was uniform and arrogant, as the royal family of the country, the family above all the people in the Duchy of Rhône, they were indeed qualified to put on such an expression.
On the second floor, the portraits on the walls began to decrease, and more landscapes and portraits of women appeared, mostly of young girls.
The team came to a stop in the middle of the second floor, and there were six servants, including Kylot, who was at the end.
Watching the waiters or maids in front of them go in with plates one by one and leave cleanly, the strength of the two guards outside the door is the heart refining level, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
When it was Kylot's turn, he pushed open the door and entered, observing the number of people in the room for the first time, one by the bed, one at the desk, and one next to the table.
Looking at the outfit, there are maids next to the bed and the table, so the one wearing delicate pajamas next to the desk should be the princess.
He casually put down the pastry in the empty space on the table, turned and left the room, standing in front of the two guards.
"It's a good thing for you!"
With both hands in their hands, he slashed the guards in the necks, knocking them unconscious, and several water elements seeped into their clothes, forcing their knees and shoulders to make them look like they were still standing straight.
