Chapter 286: A Border Town

Kenan checked his surroundings, then decisively turned on his stealth, and then climbed over the steep mountain next to him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis kind of steep peak can stop the group of people, but it is not an obstacle for those above the silver level, and you can easily cross it with just one attention.

Due to the state of emergency, the Shengkeri guard tower has now closed the passage and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Kennan didn't want to disturb the local garrison, because what he had to do was too inconvenient for others to know, so he made this decision.

After climbing the steep mountain, Kenan spared a section of the mountain road, then re-embarked on the main road, and continued to walk for more than ten minutes before he saw a boundary monument, and after crossing this limit, he officially entered Bracada.

Kenan stood near the boundary pillar and watched for a while, making sure that he had not found the other party's reconnaissance post, and then continued to walk forward with confidence.

After about half a day's walk, Kennan arrived in the city closest to the border in Bracada. It was not yet dark, but the gates were closed early, and there were soldiers patrolling the city. Kennan carefully checked the surrounding environment and the deployment of the city walls, and decisively chose to stealthily enter the city gate.

The layout of Bracada's city is similar to that of Erathia, perhaps the two are really in the same vein, except that the buildings on both sides of the street are mostly towers, and the city is full of pointed roofs, Kenan really thinks that he is in a city of Erathia.

Although Bracada is known as the kingdom of mages and is known as the hometown of mages, this only means that there is the best mage academy in the whole continent and has the highest percentage of mages, and not all of them are mages. According to the proportion of the population, ordinary people are the people with the highest proportion in this kingdom, the rest are gods and monsters and various elemental lifeforms, and the last is the mage group.

Therefore, Kennan's presence here as a human is not too abrupt, as long as he changes his attire.

Judging from the order of the streets, it is obvious that there is no atmosphere of war here, perhaps because the news has not reached the grassroots, so although it is close to evening in the whole city, there are still many pedestrians on the streets. Under the crowds, the whole town seems to be very lively, which makes Kennan feel like visiting a night market.

Kenan quietly performed the magic trick of detecting magic fluctuations, except for the detection of a dozen people with obvious magic fluctuations near the City Lord's Mansion, in other locations in the city, Kenan did not find similar magic fluctuations. As a result, Kenan could conclude that the city did not have a large number of mages in its interior, otherwise it would not have been possible to escape the detection spells he had developed.

This is the technical advantage of asymmetry.

Deliberately targeting vulnerabilities in a particular system of spells with another technique is usually not discovered, at least not in a short period of time. Most mages, in particular, don't even know they've been detected. That's where Kennan excels.

After routine detection, Kenan habitually went to a tavern to pass the time. Kenan didn't show up on his own initiative, because the taverns in this small city usually receive regular customers or walking merchants, and with the current situation of Bracada and Erathia, the caravan has been cut off, and the caravan inside Bracada Kenan doesn't know much about it, so he can only explore it stealthily.

Kennan crept into the tavern in the heart of the city.

The whole tavern was illuminated by the candlesticks on the tables, and the wooden tables were wiped clean. A blazing fire was lit in the fireplace, and a dozen dried hams hung on the wall near the fireplace. Barrels of oat wine were piled up on the wall behind the counter, and the bartender was bored leaning against the pile of wooden barrels and quietly drinking a glass of oatwine. More than a dozen drinkers sat sparsely on the seats around them, most of them drinking wine and talking in low voices, in the style of a typical southern tavern.

Since Kenan entered invisibly, no one noticed that there was one more person in the tavern, so everyone continued to go about their business. Kennan was happy to do the same, and rejoiced in his foresight. If it weren't for stealth entry, I'm afraid that my fresh face would arouse the suspicion of the other party, even if the other party wouldn't have much trouble finding the sheriff, but some "confidential" things would definitely not be discussed, which would greatly affect Kennan's efficiency in gathering intelligence.

Kenan sat at a table where no one was sitting, quietly listening to the whispers of the people in the tavern, although these people kept their voices down and tried not to disturb others, but this level of secrecy was no different from a long conversation in person for Kenan, so Kenan fortunately put on a comfortable posture and listened slowly to the chatter of everyone in the tavern.

After about an hour, Kennan walked out of the tavern with a smile on his face, and then walked down the street to the square area in the center of town. This was supposed to be the most prosperous and lively place in the whole city, but because it was temporarily impossible to contact the gods, all the temples were temporarily closed and waited for the day when the gods returned. As a result, the entire square area fell silent, and except for the city lord's mansion, which was still brightly lit, the rest of the area was dim.

Kennan looked at the tall and majestic buildings on both sides of the street, and at this time became silent and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then went straight to the city lord's mansion.

Since the city lord is only a gold-level mage, and most of the remaining guards or students are silver-level or even bronze-level existences, plus, this place is in a period of peace, although the relationship between the two countries is already very tense, but on the whole it is still in a state of peace, and the defense of the entire city lord's mansion is not very strict. Therefore, the entire city lord's mansion is basically an undefended existence for Kennan.

Kenan entered the hall of the City Lord's Mansion as if he had entered his own backyard, and then quietly went to the dining room next to him to take a look, and found that sure enough, all the mages were eating a sumptuous dinner in the dining room at this time.

Kennan looked around, it was a standard scholar's study, with a large amount of materials and documents piled up, and various books piled up on the shelves on all sides. There were some discarded parchments scattered on the ground, with some announcements and conjectures written on them, and from these scattered papers, Kennan could roughly tell that the owner of this house seemed to be studying a way to improve the teleportation array, and as for what the specific improvement was, it was necessary to see the specific materials. But Kennan wasn't in the mood to study the other party's subject, he was looking for something.

Soon, an envelope that had been randomly discarded in the corner of the table caught Lakenan's attention, and the seal on it had been opened, and the main pattern inside the seal was a burning seven-pointed star, as far as Kenan knew, this seal was a special seal of the Presbyterian Church of Bracada, but the letter was thrown here at random and did not attract attention.

Kennan didn't take the letter with his hands, but used his mental power to quietly copy the contents of the letter, and then deciphered the contents of the letter in the void.

After reading the contents of the letter, Kennan smiled with relief, and then the whole person disappeared into a wisp of mist.
