Chapter Thirty-Four: Exploring the King's City at Night
The wind is five and four quarters.
The four doors are closed, and most of the farmers and merchants are now returning home from their busy schedules, and even the naughtiest children are obediently sitting at the table, waiting for the most important, sumptuous and comfortable dinner of the day.
This is not the most peaceful moment in the royal capital, but this kind of busyness and a little noise with excitement and anti-expectation is also another excellent time to explore the path.
At least that's what Austra thinks.
After releasing Puduo, he immediately returned to the hotel, and he didn't linger all the way and was not targeted again. He believed that Pu Duo would definitely report his statement, but he was not too sure whether the people above him would really choose the river water over the well water, and if the result was not as good as he wanted, he would still be found by these people sooner or later—people could hide, but it was not easy to hide, and it would take a lot of effort to waste.
Therefore, he decided to do it as soon as possible, and leave the place after consulting the list of demigods before the trouble of the mouthless came to his door.
On the rooftop, he was free to perform light feats without fear of being discovered, so he soon reached the foot of the third wall.
The height and thickness of the four walls of Sasarama were not uniform, with the first being the tallest and thickest, the third being the second, the second being the second, and the fourth being the shortest and thinnest. The reason for this difference design is that there is also a lot of knowledge in it.
The first city wall is the outermost barrier of the royal capital, and if the enemy is outside the wall, the loss is limited no matter how big it is, and once the enemy breaks the wall and enters the lower city, the loss is limited no matter how small. So it must be the tallest, thickest, and the strongest defense.
The third city wall seems to be separating the upper city of the royal city, but in fact it separates the ministers and nobles from the commoners, so the third city wall is mainly designed to defend the upper and lower cities from the people of the upper and lower cities to attack the city, so the solidity is second only to the first city wall. This is also the result of two inhabitant rebellions that invaded the royal city and wreaked havoc, and even killed the king.
The second city wall is a little less strong than the third city wall, but it is also limited, after all, whether it is against external or internal enemies, this is also a barrier, a little stronger, at least it can buy a little more time for the later evacuation preparations.
As for the fourth wall, it was not designed from the beginning to deal with the attack of thousands of troops - it was all outside the palace, and what use could it be if it was strong? Its main purpose was to look good, to be majestic, and by the way, it was enough to deal with the thieves and assassins.
The third city wall is fifteen feet high, and the military road at the top of the wall is three kilometers wide, although it is dinner time at this moment, there are still two or three city guards standing on the military road every hundred paces.
A gust of wind blew, the wind was not strong but it carried sand and dust, blowing a few guards subconsciously rubbing their eyes, they didn't know it at all, but with this gesture, a person had already crossed the city wall and landed in the royal city.
According to the old fish, the royal family's list of demigods was stored in a courtyard in the Fuyanmu district, which looked ordinary from the outside, but it was the residence of one of the king's favorite theological advisers. Perhaps there was a manuscript in the palace for the king's use, but it was too close to the king for no one but a madman to make a decision. As for the list of demigods in the Ministry of Legal Affairs, this thing is not as expensive as the royal family in the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and the business nature of the Ministry of Legal Affairs is quite special, so they have several handwritten and simplified copies, and the deputy minister has them, and the head of the Foreign Affairs Office and the Supervision and Legal Affairs Department also have them. However, although there are many of them, most of them are properly kept, for example, in the headquarters of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and it must be much more difficult to think of them than the one in the hands of the Minister of Theological Advisors.
At the same time, not too far from where the arrogant Wang Cheng was located, he was in the Mouthless King's City.
After listening to the attendant's report, Big-Eyed Torino pondered for a moment before asking, "Bring in that foot that was in direct contact."
His tone is not very good, and he generally does not need to hide his emotions in front of his subordinates.
Of course, his mood is not very good, usually it is rare to see a low-level foot directly once a month, but now he actually sees two in two days in a row. At his level, he needs to meet directly with Little Foot, which shows that intelligence is quite sensitive and important. Of course, it is not a bad thing to get important information, but if this information comes from the royal capital under his nose, it will be a big trouble.
Hearing the summons of the big eyes, Pu Duo subconsciously glanced at the director of the second Shangcheng Institute who was waiting next to him, and he clearly saw a trace of envy or jealousy flashing in the eyes of the director. However, at this moment, he didn't care whether it was a blessing or a curse, and trotted to keep up with the pace of the attendant.
As soon as Pu Duo entered the door, before he had time to look at the scene in the room, he hurriedly leaned forward, folded his hands flat on his lower abdomen, and saluted: "Big-eyed chief, the little foot of the second place in the upper city, Gaika Puduo, is waiting for your orders. ”
"Your report says that this person may be able to use mind spells and tell the details of the theory. In the face of this grassroots subordinate, Torino didn't bother to practice those etiquettes, and directly raised his own questions.
"It took a very short time for this man to cross an alley and knock me out, and perhaps two other feet further apart. And when he untied me, he didn't use a knife to cut through the sack and the rope at the same time, which can only be done with a spell. I was awake at the time, but I didn't hear any sound of chanting mantras, and although small spells can be exempted from chanting, no one should practice such a small spell as a small bag rope." Although Pu Duo is only a small foot, he is often mixed in the royal capital, and he knows more about spells than most people, and he can say one, two, three when he opens his mouth.
"What about the other two?" asked Torinå.
Pudo was wondering if he was asking me, how could I possibly know what was going on with the other two, but he heard a voice in the darkness in the corner of the room reply, "They were all knocked unconscious, and they didn't notice it, the difference is that they were still in the same place when they woke up, and they didn't touch the mage." ”
Seeing Torinå wave his hand to go out, Pudo saluted again and stepped back, but when he left, his pace was even more unsteady than when he came in—he was frightened, he had always thought he was deaf and clear-eyed, and he was completely unaware that there were other people in the room, although he knew that he didn't need such a means to deal with a small character like himself, but it was inevitable to be a little afraid.
"A foreign law mage who is proficient in small spells and may even be able to do tricks is not a scholar yet," Torin Ao muttered.
"Do you want to continue the search and surveillance?" Shadow asked.
"No, if he is really a mage from other legal management departments, even if he comes to the king because of personal affairs, the most common choice is to borrow from the legal management department, after all, it is the rule of the legal management department to entertain each other, unless his purpose is not willing to be known by the people of the legal management department here. Torinå muttered.
"Then first strengthen the surveillance on the periphery of the Legal Management Department to confirm whether he has any contact with the Legal Management Department?"
"Well, let's do this for the time being, and send my feet to the hotels in the city to take a look, he is easy to hide alone, and the head is not easy to hide. ”
"If we make an unannounced visit to the hotel, we may be a little understaffed," Shadow hesitated before responding.
"You mean the temporary transfer of manpower from Big Mouth, what is he doing this time? How long will it take?"
"The goal is not clear, but the number of people who have been selected is the largest in recent years, and it is said that it will be transferred for 10 days. ”
"Hey, I hope the fish he brought back this time is worth the net money. Then you prioritize ensuring the surveillance of the outside of the Ministry of Justice, an impersonator of unknown origin and unknown intentions is too dangerous. ”
Cheyenne District, 1 Bekoto Street, Judicial Affairs Guidance Arbitration and Management Committee in the Kingdom of Lorenmagaga.
The old man generously provided the address of the residence of the Minister of Justice and the Theological Advisor, but it was impossible for the old man to know, and the person who asked for the address did not know the way. And the royal city is not as good as the upper city, there are more cars on the road, there are many guards, but the idle passers-by are scarce, and finally a lone patrol is caught, so that he can be regarded as asking a more clear direction.
On the opposite side of Bekoto Street is Guilinv Street, where the residences of the four ministers and ministers are located, and when the two are combined, you can imagine how well guarded this place is, and the average number of guards per land here is one of the best in the royal city. There are fixed guards at the entrance of the street, there are guards on the street, there are mansion guards at the public relations entrance, and even the roof of the house is also arranged with archer guards.
No matter how arrogant and unparalleled he is, he will not be invisible after all, so at this moment he can only hide in the garden of the Legal Management Department and observe quietly.
Compared with the guards on the opposite street, the side of the legal management department looks much thinner, except for the four legal guards at the gate, that is, there are occasionally two people patrolling the courtyard, and the guards you can see are only ten. But it would be a big mistake to think that the Ministry of Justice is weakly guarded.
Lao Yu repeatedly warned that the real defense force of the legal management department is not those legal guards, although a legal guard can withstand several guards, but compared to the magic circle inside and outside the palace building, it is not worth mentioning. These magic circles can not only warn but also trap the enemy, even mages cannot easily break them. Some people may think that those legal guards can open the magic circle, but the legal guards are only the lowest level in the legal management committee system, how many secrets can they master?
As mentioned earlier, the palace and the royal city were built around the White Tree Mountain, and the residence of the theological counselor was closer to the palace than the Ministry of Justice, and the terrain was naturally higher, and standing on the roof on the side of the house, you could even see the lights of the upper and lower cities.
Lao Yu was really right, the defense force of the mansion of this theological adviser is too much different from that of the legal management department, if the legal management department is heavily locked and locked, then this side is similar to a small wooden fence courtyard without a door.
There were two guards at the gate and six more in the courtyard, and this guard was even worse than the houses next to it. However, the main building in the courtyard is not lit, indicating that the owner is probably not there, which is why the guards are so weak.
There is a mezzanine wall on the west side wall of the second floor of the main building, where the Minister of Theological Counsel has placed the list, and he has confirmed the existence of the mezzanine wall, so the question arises - should we do it now?
Ao Zongheng really didn't plan to do it tonight before he came, he just planned to survey the environment, but the current situation is too ideal, as long as he flips into the room, the list of demigods is at his fingertips, and the mouthless covet it, he has no days to wait for.
Thinking of this, Ao Zongheng made up his mind, and the whole person seemed to be flying, and he entered the second floor without even touching the ground, but at the moment when his feet landed on the floor of the second floor, there was a crisp sound, and the change was steep.
