Chapter 57: Night Visit

Two men and a woman were walking through the silent streets under the light of the double moon, and the occasional patrolling guard was cleverly avoided by them. At 0:20 they reached the city walls www.biquge.info of the Duke's castle. The first thing they had to deal with was the fifteen-meter-long moat, and it was obviously not easy to get past it without alerting the guards on the walls. Logically speaking, there is no such thing as a moat in the city, but Sintra was designed differently as a gateway to the north, and its role as a fortress took precedence over that of a city. At the beginning of the construction of the ducal castle, the castle had a wall as high as 20 meters, and then the battle over the years unearthed a moat 15 meters wide. As the years went on, many settlements were formed on the periphery of the ducal castle, and when the number reached a certain size, the kingdom decided to build a new fortified city on the northern border, so the outer city appeared. Sintra was later called the city, and it was previously known as Berlichingen Castle.

Yu Chen and his party had been waiting quietly under the city wall for an hour, the height of the city wall had never been a problem for Yu Chen, he just needed to seize the best opportunity.

"It's now. "The tall and lanky mercenaries are showing their worth, and now it's time for the two shifts of guards to change shifts, and they only have ten minutes.

Somewhere in the city wall, this is the result of the careful calculation of the tall and thin mercenaries, and here it will become a dead end when the two shifts of guards change, and it is only necessary to successfully climb over this wall in ten minutes to break through this first obstacle.

Without the slightest drag, Yu Chen picked up Daisy and flew directly onto the city wall, and then he flew down again, and Yu Chen lifted the tall and thin mercenary with one hand. Now the three of them have entered the castle, and the process of all this will definitely not take more than two minutes.

Walking through the castle, the tall and thin mercenary still had palpitations, and he couldn't imagine that the thin boy was so strong, which is why the thin boy would prevent him from carrying the rope. Although his force is weak, it does not mean that he is stupid. He understood that it was the ability of the Awakened, and that it was a very 'powerful' Awakener. I don't know how Yu Chen would feel if he knew, he has been hovering on the edge of life and death, but now there are people who are in awe of his power.

The tall and lanky mercenary was nervous, because he found that things didn't seem to be quite the same as he thought, and the guards in the castle were more than twice as many as usual, and if it weren't for Yu Chen's quick reaction, they would have almost been discovered by the guards several times. Thanks to Yu Chen's ability to fly short distances, otherwise, with today's density of guards, they would have been discovered if they stayed on the city wall for more than three minutes.

"My lord, this..."The tall and thin mercenary didn't know how to explain it at all, the tightness of the guards in the castle had completely exceeded his expectations, and he was afraid that he would anger these two 'adults' and end up with his own death.

"Is this the place?" Daisy pointed to a towering tower, amazed at the layout of the castle, everything here was made to be stronger, it was a machine made for war.

Seeing that Daisy and Yu Chen didn't blame him in the slightest, the tall and thin mercenary was relieved. After several careful and cautious sneaks, they finally reached the center of the castle.

"It should be the Duke's study. "The tall and thin mercenaries did not hesitate to use honorifics when addressing the lord of the city, as the northerners of the kingdom, the Duke is like their patron saint and has a high reputation among the people, even the unruly people like the tall and thin mercenaries admire the Duke from the bottom of their hearts.

"Hmm. Yu Chen and Daisy's eyes met, and he nodded at Daisy and went straight up the tower.

"Did you see anything?" said one of the castle guards, looking at the night sky suspiciously, as if he had seen a dark shadow just now.

"What do you see? Do you see ghosts? I don't see anything. The other guard shrugged.

"Maybe maybe I'm too nervous. "At the behest of the old duke, all the garrison troops have entered a state of first-level readiness, so the guard may think that he has worked too hard.

Yu Chen had successfully infiltrated the old duke's study, and he pressed a letter under the old duke's half-opened book. The letter happens to be completely covered by the book, so that there is no fear that servants such as maids will accidentally see it, and I believe that no subordinate will dare to turn over half of the book that the master has read. Under Daisy's ears, Yu Chen also understood the life temperament of the nobles to some extent, so he was quite satisfied with his approach. But just as Yu Chen was about to leave, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor.

The door of the study was opened, and Yu Chen jumped down the window the moment the door opened. The Duke lit the oil lamp in his study, and his hand had already touched the half-opened book on the desk, and if he moved it a little more, the letter would surely be seen by himself.

"Someone sneaked in! someone sneaked in!" said a shrill voice from below, and the whole castle became brightly lit, and the old duke had no time to pay attention to his love book, and he looked out the window to see that the torches of the guards had formed a long fiery serpent.

The whole castle was as if it had woken up, and Yu Chen didn't expect that a small accident would cause such a turmoil. Just as Yu Chen jumped out of the window, another black shadow appeared to wake up the guards who thought they were delusional, and this time they saw not only him, but also his companions. So the entire castle has been awakened, and they vow to find out who has infiltrated the castle.

The old duke had stripped off his dressing gown, and in the middle of the night he was dressed in military uniform, and in the hall of the fortress he had an urgent battle meeting.

"Is it someone from the south?" the old duke stared at the simulated sand table.

Daisy and the tall and thin mercenary had already chosen to leave when the alarm went off, Daisy absolutely believed Yu Chen, she was just worried about whether she would become a burden to Yu Chen. There was a panic in the castle, and Daisy and the lanky mercenaries escaped countless scrutiny by the guards as they returned to the wall they had entered.

"Let's go!" Yu Chen had already arrived at the city wall, and there was no time to explain, Yu Chen jumped with a flying body in one hand.

"They're there! Quick, hurry up and release the arrows!" The guards on the city wall had already discovered the traces of Yu Chen and his party.

Cold arrows were released one after another in the dark, and Yu Chen dodged many dark arrows on the way to the flight, but just as he landed, a cold arrow passed through his shoulder!
