Morning.

In the dark cellar, a long gecko suddenly crawled out.

It lay silently on the cold floor, waited for a while, and then quickly found a small crack and left the cold cellar.

Even the powerful bloodline ranger will naturally be affected by the bloodline of cold-blooded animals, as the so-called advantages must be disadvantages, Elliot understands that since he can enjoy the gecko's tail to continue his life, he will naturally be subject to some restrictions and influences.

"In the form of a gecko, staying in a cold environment for a long time will have many sequelae, and even lead to brain trauma ......"

The thought crossed his mind, and his movements became more rapid.

It wasn't difficult to infiltrate the mansion of the fourth princess.

Although Evelyn is the lord of the Ice Wind Lord, she also has a lot of talent under her command, and the Lookout Fortress is even more heavily guarded.

But for the elite of the Ninth Manor, it only takes a little more effort to sneak in.

Elliot, a shapeshifter, had an even more dominant advantage in this regard - after completing the initial tests, he managed to infiltrate the core of the castle with only an oxcart carrying fruits and vegetables.

"It's full of detection magic ......"

Elliot carefully crawled through the blind spot between the two well-hidden gems of true knowledge, not revealing any anomalous aura.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has talents who are proficient in alchemy......"

He glanced back at the alchemy magic array that was reproduced behind the two True Knowledge Gems, as well as the more subtle supervision spells on both sides of the aisle, and felt a little tricky.

With this level of detection magic, it was indeed difficult for him to achieve his goals on his own.

Luckily, he still has helpers.

"I hope that woman is not bragging......"

Elliot is very confident in himself, he is a bloodline ranger and a conspirator's professional combination, his extraordinary bloodline gives him a strong perception of danger, any sign is not the first to detect him, and then take a second move; But for the ability of that peer, he is somewhat drumming.

Although he learned from the information of the Ninth Manor that the woman registered as Harpy had a good resume, and with Elliot's perception, he could not see through her details; But he still hates the feeling that the risk is out of control.

This feeling reminded him of the story last time - his carefully arranged conspiracy turned out to be reduced to a small pawn of the gods, this incident had a particularly huge impact on Eliot, and in the face of absolute power, his conspiracy obviously could not play the role of the main island, if it were not for those gods and devils who had their own ghosts, Eliot's proud plan might not be able to fight at all......

"Damn...... Today's attention seems to be a bit distracted. ”

"I should forget all these things, mediocrity doesn't help to disturb yourself."

Elliot took a deep breath, and he was vaguely worried—it might be that the gecko's body had been crawling among the cold castle rocks for so long that he was a little unfocused, and he was in a state of flux.

This was almost impossible in the past.

"I hate winter...... Or the North. ”

He didn't dare to use any blessing buff spells, he could only increase his action speed.

Fortunately, the distance was not far away, and he was already familiar with the map that Harpy gave him, and soon he arrived at the agreed place between the two parties.

Next, he didn't have to do anything, just wait for Harpy to send Evelyn here.

This was planned by both sides for a long time.

Harpy is in charge of getting Evelyn and sending Evelyn to Elliot without touching any vigilance, and the rest is left to Elliot, who is the mastermind of the plan.

"With the vigilance ability of this castle, if you want not to alarm the guards, I'm afraid you can only use deception."

"What excuse does this woman want to use to trick that princess into coming here in the middle of the night?"

Elliot was skeptical, but he didn't really have a good way to do it himself, and if he didn't try it without Harpy's method, the probability of success would be less than 30%.

This is also a big reason why Elliot is willing to involve the other side.

Of course, this does not mean that he can definitely trust the other party.

Even in the Ninth Manor, he didn't trust anyone, including the weirdo who had a room full of cats.

Therefore, he prepared a series of escape methods, and after the Wildfire City incident, he thought that he had completed a metamorphosis, and he realized that survival was more important than the hearty execution of the conspiracy.

He reflected that he was a little too protective of waves with the ability to cut off the tail of the gecko, and the real master should always be hidden behind the scenes, and in the Wildfire City incident, he still couldn't help jumping out and almost became the devil's food.

"It's really hard to escape this place, but where there are shadows, there must be curved surfaces that connect the shadow world......"

Before Harpy could bring Evelyn to him, Elliot quickly used the specific specialty given by Ninth Manor: surface communication.

This spell allows people who have left a mark in the Shadow Realm to quickly find the link surface between the Material Realm and the Shadow Realm, which has a miraculous effect when escaping.

"No problem." After determining the safety of the surface, Elliot breathed a sigh of relief.

He paused his movements, pressed against the wall, and suddenly lifted the transformation technique.

Syllable.

He opened the Cloak of Shadows, completely invisible, and stepped on the curved surface with one foot, if something unexpected happened, he would naturally go first.

Ready for all this, Elliot fell into a long wait.

He shielded his chaotic thoughts and entered a subtle standby state - one of the gifts of the Bloodline Ranger, which allows him to enter a hunting state like a beast, reducing the consumption of meaningless thoughts; Of course, there are some disadvantages, and when you encounter some problems that require a lot of calculations, it will be easy to go down.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Suddenly there was a sound of low footsteps in the aisle not far away, and Elliot's ears moved, it was two women, both wearing cotton slippers, so there was only a slight friction sound—well, there was a woman who deliberately dragged the ground, so the friction was louder.

"It's the woman...... As agreed, it indicates that the plan is business as usual. ”

Elliot silently leaned against the wall, waiting for the time to come.

Around the corner came the whispered conversation of two women:

"Why is this happening all of a sudden? Those three tarantula plants suddenly went berserk attacking other potions? Are you sure it's not a hallucination? ”

"Forget it, I'm still going to go over and see for myself, thank you for reminding me."

"Huh? You seem to be bleeding, you can go and bandage it first, no, no, no, I'll go and see for myself......"

The two seemed to prevaricate, but Evelyn could not survive her maid, and the two walked out of the hallway and into a relatively open courtyard.

This is the gateway to the Potions Garden, and it's the location Happi himself has chosen to get his hands on. Elliot checked, and her choice was precise and there were no problems.

By this time, Elliot did not relax, but became more vigilant.

Two women in pajamas had quickly appeared in Elliot's eyes, and because of the infrared vision, his first impression was two flames burning in the night, and it was not until he walked in that he could see the people under the magic light in Evelyn's hand.

"No problem......

"It's time to get started."

Elliot appeared like a ghost behind Evelyn, and was about to make a standard blow, but who knew that at this time, "Harpy" took the lead and struck Evelyn in the neck with a quick and ruthless hand.

Poof!

In Evelyn's surprised gaze, she didn't fall down, a layer of pale blue light erupted from the necklace on her chest, and the terrifying power of ice instantly erupted, condensing into a thick layer of magic frost on every inch of her body!

[Frost Witch's Guardian]!

Elliot recognized this constant spell and cursed in his heart: Idiot!

Harpy's attack was blocked, and Evelyn's reaction was quick, and she immediately ripped off the buttons near her sleeves, and for a while, the alarm sounded!

Her second move was to prepare to cast an instantaneous spell-

It's a pity that her movements can no longer be completed.

Because Elliot is faster than her!

At the moment when Harpy missed, a stone with a dark purple luster suddenly appeared in Eliot's hand, and he held the stone in his hand, his voice was low, and his voice was fast and clear:

It was a strange language, somewhat akin to the language of Purgatory, simple, but effective—all constant spells on Evelyn's body were invalidated, and even the spells she was ready to use were briefly sealed.

At this time, Harpy didn't say a word, but made up for the knife, and poor Evelyn instantly collapsed to the ground, and was picked up by Elliot and dropped on her shoulder.

"You left as planned."

"Leave it to me next, rest assured, I won't monopolize the information of this mission."

Elliot ran without saying a word.

There was a commotion in the city lord's mansion, and the voices of the guards came.

Harpy hesitated, gritted his teeth, and quickly disappeared.

She must have left through the curved surface of the Shadow Realm.

Elliot took a deep breath and quickly left the courtyard with Evelyn on his shoulders.

Despite a few minor incidents, his plan was a success. Harpy's actions are not unreasonable, after all, this woman seems to be very strong, and it is understandable to want to prove herself.

"It's a pity she doesn't seem to have much experience with mages."

In all fairness, Elliot was satisfied with the other party's performance today.

At least she managed to trick her target.

If she behaves well next, Elliot even thinks she can be one of his partners.

After all, he also needs some good helpers.

"Damn, my attention has been diverted again......"

He shook his head, forcing himself to concentrate.

Passing through an archway, he hid Evelyn in the grass, then half-knelt down, took out a quaint scroll, pressed it to the ground, and began a subdued chant.
