Chapter 36: Surprise Attack
"That's how the royal family entertains guests, and if this kind of accident happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here with peace of mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Wright also added firewood in time to make this messy situation worse, but after all, this is still the palace, although His Majesty is no longer there, but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and besides, the people present are all nobles, so as not to mess around, and slowly calm down after no one continues to faint."
The few people who fell were left at the scene to avoid interfering with the clues, and the royal family's special investigators took over to identify the means and causes, as well as the safety of the food, and the rest of the people were transferred to the adjacent small hall, where there would be special medical personnel to check the body and see if there were any poisoned people, and under the persuasion of the captain of the guard, the banquet personnel accepted this arrangement.
Wright was still at the end of the line, and disappeared into the shadows when he walked around a corner, without anyone noticing, under the effect of the magic scroll given by the dean, Wright was completely invisible, whether it was appearance, breath or even magic fluctuations, worthy of being a genuine archmage.
Wright returned to the corridor in front of the door of the banquet hall and took out another spar, the crystal powder that had been crushed on the ground by Fiona before, it was impossible to see at all but it lit up slightly at this time, and the soldiers in the corridor did not notice this change, there were some sparse footprints leading to the small hall where the guests were housed, but there were two footprints that were the clearest, and the direction was also completely different, the footprints of the king and the clerk, because these two people were the first to step on it after Fiona crushed the spar.
Follow the footprints all the way, when the crystal powder is about to disappear, the footprints end in the core area of the palace, in front of the location of the king's bedroom and study, specially set up to shield impurities and interference of the magic circle, in order to facilitate the guards, the entire area is only this one exit, the gate is closed and there are many guards, there are as many as eight guards at the door alone, not to mention the corridor guards.
It was also expected that the king would go back to the study, Wright just reconfirmed that there was no accident, so as to facilitate the development of their follow-up plan, Wright set up a simple induction array on the ground, after all, Wright could not go to the king's soul fluctuation a few times under this condition, it was very cumbersome and required a lot of items to assist, this small formation can only let Wright know when someone walks out, and now I can only hope that the guards in the corridor will not run around.
Wright didn't dare to stay here, although the guards at the gate were not top masters, but they were by no means miscellaneous fish, and it was likely that he found out that there were people here with Wu Xiu's intuition, Wright turned around and walked in the other direction, according to the map he had written down, looking for his way through the palace.
Although this is a bit of a struggle for Wright who is a road idiot, it is not too difficult, compared to the complicated and profound spells, a map is not difficult, as Wright advances, there are fewer and fewer guards around, and finally Wright walks to a small deserted courtyard, it is hard to imagine that there is such a place in the golden palace.
The vegetation in the yard is prickly and long, and it is a little wilted, it seems that the care of the gardener is very limited, just barely surviving, the masonry on the ground has accumulated a lot of dust and fallen leaves, showing that there are not too many people here, there is a well on the side of the small courtyard, simple and simple, there is a bucket on the edge of the well, this kind of thing that should have been eliminated a long time ago is incompatible with here, and now even the nobles use the elemental crystal to store water, let alone in the palace.
Wright moved slightly off the ground, approaching the dry well without rubbing the dust, and then carefully not touching the bucket, Wright sensed some kind of magic fluctuation on it, although he didn't have time to parse him, Wright guessed that it was probably some kind of induction spell, and then jumped down.
Wright didn't fall to the bottom in one breath, but then the wind fell gently like a feather, and finally stuck to the bottom of the well wall, this is a dry well, the bucket is just pretending, and there is a secret passage below, Wright leaned out of the spiritual sense and found that there were two people guarding the place where the bottom of the well went out, after all, this is the palace built by the royal family themselves, where there is a secret passage knows better than anyone else, but because it is a secret passage, it is impossible to send many people to guard, otherwise it will be too conspicuous.
Wright pulled out a small pale pink bottle, which was Annie's proud work, the hypnotic and paralyzing effect was very outstanding, and after the enemy fell asleep, it would also make people fall into a beautiful dream, refusing to wake up, Wright poured out the liquid, which was swept by the wind into an invisible gas and spread downward.
After a while, Wright heard two plops, and then Wright fell down to see, the two guards were indeed lying down, with some smiles on their faces, and muttering inaudible dream words in their mouths, Wright walked over and tied them up and threw them aside, and then the wind energy swirled in Wright's hand, condensed into a cyan bird, and flew out along the secret passage.
Wright waited for a while, and suddenly the induction array under the cloth reacted, and someone came out of the study, but Wright didn't make any movement, still waiting there, and after a while, footsteps came from the direction of the exit, and Yoricna, who had not been seen for a long time, walked out, no longer wearing ordinary clothes, but changing into battle armor.
"It's earlier than expected, if you act in advance, you won't be afraid of my side failing, then you will be blocked here immediately. Wright teased, "I believe in your abilities, and this little thing can't be difficult for you." She was visibly nervous and didn't intend to make small talk with Wright.
Wright briefly reported his situation, someone came out of the study, the path has been marked, and the simple sensing measures have been temporarily interfered with by Wright, and the complex circle will not be activated for a while, Yoricna listened and nodded, "Well, hard work, your mission ends here, we have a good cooperation." ”
"What a pleasure, it's a one-sided use at all, that crystal Mithril is not enough to pay the bill. Wright still smiled and said, "When the incident is over, I won't owe you anything." Yoricna solemnly patted Wright on the shoulder, "Then you have to come out later, go quickly, good luck." ”
