Russell looked at the silver dart in front of him very vigilantly, if he hadn't been paying attention to the movement beside him just now, I'm afraid his forehead would have been pierced by this dart.

Now that the dart is stuck in the wall not far from him, Russell can even see the pattern on the surface of the dart, which is so complex that the user of the dart should always take care of it.

"Well, did I hear it wrong? There was clearly a movement of stepping on the floor here just now, why is there no one here?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded from a distance, and after a while, an emaciated masked man walked around the corner.

"Is it a rat passing by and crushing to the floor? These squires in charge of repairing the building are such a piece of rubbish, I must punish them severely!"

The masked man, who seemed angry, strode over to Russell and with just one hand removed the dart that had gone deep into the wall from it.

At this time, the masked man was less than a meter away from Russell, and even his wrist was almost touching Russell's face when he took the dart.

Russell held his breath and stared at the man's arm, now that the two were so close, even the sound of his own breathing could attract the attention of the enemy!

However, Russell was able to observe the masked man's costume, which was dressed in black, with only a movable leather armor on his upper body, and identical darts all stuck around his waist.

The man's face was covered by a black cloth, but Russell could still observe a conspicuous birthmark on the man's forehead.

And Russell saw the pattern of clothes that emerged from the gap in the man's shoulder, which was still familiar with the golden lines, and it seemed that this man was also a member of the Guard.

When Russell came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a little afraid.

If you just stepped on the floor a little louder, maybe these extremely sharp darts will hit you.

"Well, the Marquis liked the carvings on the walls of this corridor the most, but I broke them.

If I had known, I wouldn't have asked the Marquis to guard the room.

I just want to rest a little longer, but I'm going to be scolded by the Marquis!

The masked man muttered a complaint as he walked into the distance, and it seemed that he thought that the movement just now was just made by a mouse, and he had let down his vigilance.

Russell saw the man move away from here, lifted the invisibility cloak on his body, and continued to walk forward.

Luckily, there was only one plank sticking out of the ground, so Russell sneaked more cautiously, and after a few minutes, Russell finally arrived at the location of the mission!

The Marquis de Red's office, like the one depicted on the map, occupies a very large area.

And there was only one room in the hallway, and now the door to the office was in front of Russell.

Sure enough, this place is the same as I expected, and the defense is very lax!

Russell watched for a moment, and there were no extra guards left in the vicinity, except for a constant patrol of guards.

According to Russell's observations, the guards patrol every few minutes at intervals, but that's enough time to infiltrate the room!

Seeing that the guards had left the corridor, Russell immediately walked to the door and stabbed the lock into the lock with the imitation key provided by Bishop Vane, easily opening the heavy door.

Russell glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no ambush nearby, Russell gently pulled the door open a small crack, and then quickly slipped into the office.

Russell then closed the door gently and began to observe the room.

No wonder Marquis Red's office occupies such a huge area, and a small library was originally built in the northeast corner of the room!

Countless books are neatly arranged here, and even the smell of book ink fills the air.

Russell was taken aback for a moment when he saw this, and it seemed that the Marquis of Red was also a nobleman who loved to read.

Russell walked slowly ahead as he recalled the description of the intellect, which stated that Marquis Red always liked to keep confidential documents in the cabinet next to his desk.

The library occupies almost half of the office, and Russell immediately begins to search the rest of the room, and soon after, Russell finds Marquis Red's desk, next to which is a wooden cabinet for classified documents.

The cabinet was not as tall as it could have been, in fact, it was only as tall as Russell's waist.

As Russell had imagined, the cabinet had been locked, but Russell did not have the key to open it.

Bishop Vane had already told Russell about the situation, and although the Marquis of Red was not a suspicious nobleman, he would not give the key to the secret cabinet to anyone else, so the church could not copy the key to the cabinet.

In that case, the only way to break this lock is to forcibly break it!

Russell pulled out the dagger he had brought with him, this dagger was small, but it was as sharp as clay, and even if the lock was very strong, he must not be able to resist the dagger slashing with all his might.

Russell raised the dagger and prepared to cut off the lock cylinder in one go, but at this moment, some slight dust was slowly falling on top of Russell's head.

What is this?

Russell reached out and touched the dust that had fallen on his hair, and when he thought of something, he immediately looked up and saw that the dust was still falling from the ceiling.

Someone up there must be approaching here!

Russell immediately became alert, gave up his intention to forcibly open the lock with a dagger, turned around and hid in the back bookshelf, this is the top of the building, how could it suddenly fall dust?

Just a few seconds after Russell left the filing cabinet, the ceiling above Russell's head suddenly shook.

Then, only a 'click' sound was heard, and suddenly a wooden plank on the ceiling was pulled apart, and a grinding sound came from the gap in the ceiling.

Immediately, a figure suddenly jumped from the ceiling, and his movements were so light that even Russell, who was peeping closely, could only hear a slight sound.

The uninvited guest was facing away from Russell, who had no idea who he was, his attitude towards himself, and his intentions for visiting.

Russell judged that this man should be a man, and he was relatively tall, which the average woman could not grow.

It's just that Russell will not naively expose his existence, even if this man has no ill will towards him, he must do something that cannot be discovered by others when he comes here.

So Russell decided to wait a while to see what he wanted to do.

If he's just looking for something else in this room, let him get it.

Each person does not interfere with the other's mission, so that they do not reveal their own identities.

The man lingered in the room for a moment, as if he had seen something, and suddenly walked over to the filing cabinet in front of Russell.

When Russell saw this, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that the man's purpose is the same as his own, and he is here for the mysterious documents in the cabinet of Marquis Red!
