Lost time, seven o'clock in the morning. This time was set from the time of the Tower of the Great Sage, after observing the astronomical phenomena and the movement of the sun, and since then it has been changed without considering the time zone, so there will be an error of about two hours in the Holy City.

Generally speaking, 10 o'clock is noon in the Holy City, and 22 o'clock is midnight. And now it's seven o'clock, which is almost the busiest time in the morning. And there are still six hours left before the thirteenth hour of my math class. There are still thirteen hours before the second wave of the cats' rescue team departs.

Not far in front of you is a castle built next to a cliff. It doesn't occupy a large area, but the buildings in it are very high, whether it is the city wall or the tower in the castle. The she-cat's last trail was to the castle, about two days ago.

In fact, it doesn't take so much time to get from the Abyss Gate to this castle. I just followed the trail of the previous cat, made a lot of detours, and spent a lot of time. Again, this saves some certain turnovers along the way, otherwise it would have taken more time to find here.

It's just that when the gray cat Hardy sees the castle, even if he can't quite distinguish the cat's expression, someone can see that his mood is a little broken.

Along the way, there is no other specific taste, and I am on the same road as Mao Ni. So it's basically certain that the cat walked in on its own, and wasn't being held hostage by a demon. And the castle she went to is also quite famous among the cats. It was the other side of the Abyss Gate, the territory of the Demon Lord Shabin.

Sabin is not only the most powerful demon near the Abyssal Gate. The Moth King and the cats on the other side of the door also have a long history of loving and killing each other. The most recent big battle took place when Hardy was a child, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. And now, what happened to Mao Ni taking the initiative to come over?

Thinking of the she-cat's personality, there was a terrifying possibility lingering in Hardy's mind.

At this moment, Lin reached out from behind and rubbed the gray cat's head. This time, Hardy didn't dodge. On the contrary, after being caught, he realized that he had fallen into the clutches of humans, and meowed dissatisfiedly. Reach out your front paws and try to pull someone's hand away.

"Don't think too much, anyway, find someone first...... Find the cat first. Although Lin didn't know the personality of the female cat, he didn't see the female cat having companions or being caught along the way. So he guessed that it was the cat who threw himself into the castle in front of him. As for the detailed reason, of course, he did not know.

However, there is only one road at the main entrance of the castle in front of you. If you want to sneak in with a cat, you have to find another way. And then there's who's in it? How many people?

If it was an ordinary nobleman's castle, maybe Lin would have used the flash technique to break in. After all, the nobles have also broken through several castles, and they are familiar with it. In this era of relative peace, the nobility will be guarded by their side, and loyalty is more important than the diversity of abilities. Therefore, the garrison in the noble castle is basically not difficult for someone.

But this is a demonic castle in front of you. Although there are several categories of demons, which is already a well-known common knowledge among the fans, there is no conclusive conclusion on what kind of special abilities each demon has. If you are not careful, it is not impossible for the boat to capsize in the gutter.

So, do you follow your own routine? But soon, his own ideas were overturned by himself. Bringing an Arcane Eye from home is not a big deal. The problem is that it is not urgent.

The passive scanning mode of the Arcane Eye, the target is like the castle in front of you, and it will take more than a day to say the least, and the most lacking thing right now is time. If you use the active scanning mode, it can be done in an instant, but then say to the enemy, "I'm coming!" "What's the difference? I've never seen a submarine that plays active sonar and can still be undetected.

Therefore, you can only rely on your own detection ability, take one step, count as one step.

The idea of entering through the main entrance was, of course, rejected at the first time. The figure on the tower of the castle shows that the castle is defensive, and anyone who enters the open space and prepares to walk towards the castle must have an unobstructed view of them.

However, since the castle was built close to the cliff, there should be a breakthrough there. Ordinary people don't invest too much garrison force in this kind of natural barrier, just need to be careful of some traps.

Thinking of his idea, Lin reminded Hardy of the grey cat and told him to follow him on a long detour, out of the forest from an unreachable spot from the castle, to the edge of the cliff. "I'm going to use the magic of walking on the ground to invade the castle from the cliff." Will you be able to do that magic? Or do you want my help? ”

"It's like walking on the ground." The gray cat looked tangled, thought for a while, and said, "If you want to invade from the outside, the cliff is indeed a good direction. Please attach that magic to me. ”

After agreeing with someone's tactics, Lin neatly applied magic to one person and one cat. He himself was the first to step out and walked onto the plane of the cliff. After confirming the effectiveness of the magic, Hardy carefully stretched out his forelimbs and walked up to the cliff level.

After making sure that the magic was working, he tried some more movements, and found that whether it was running, jumping, or even rolling in the air, it would stay on the plane of the cliff. This made Hardy nod to the human mage, and prepared to head towards the castle. This can't help but be careless, there is a hot lava river at the bottom of the cliff, and the cat will definitely not be saved if it falls.

Everything was ready, and one man and one cat ran towards the castle. Anxious to rescue the missing cat, Hardy runs ahead of the human magician. I followed him before, but I couldn't quickly confirm the direction. Now that the destination is in sight, there is no need to continue to follow, as long as the people and cats are not left behind.

It's just that the gray cat running in front of it, turned in the direction of the cliff below the castle, and was about to run up the castle wall, when suddenly the trap magic was activated, and the gray cat running on the top of the magic array was cleaned up with a support magic. The direction of gravity suddenly returned to normal, and Hardy was caught off guard and fell towards the magma river.

Fortunately, Lin was one step slower, and his magic was not lifted, and he could still stand firmly on the cliff plane. grabbed the fallen gray cat and used himself as a temporary platform for Hardy to have a temporary place to stay.

"What just happened?" Hardy asked, apprehensive.

Walking on the cliff plane below the castle, Lin carefully observed the trap magic array and said, "This should be a disarming magic array for the flotation technique, such as walking on the ground, etc. Walking on top, some perks will be canceled. But that's only for magic. ”

Hardy asked again: "Is there a gap that can be passed?" ”

"I don't think so." Lin looked at a windowsill on the castle and asked the gray cat standing on his belly, "Do you have a way to jump from this side to that window?" ”

I looked in the direction indicated by the human magician, and sure enough, I saw a windowsill. Hardy shook his head helplessly and said, "It's too far away." If there was a foothold in the middle, let me borrow it one more time, and I should be able to jump to that window. But there doesn't seem to be such a place here. ”

"You can do it on the second jump." Lin visually measured the height, and the windowsill was at least five stories high. The magic cat can jump to half the height just by relying on its own physical ability, which is really not to be underestimated. After a moment of thought, he said, "Then you stand on my arm, and when I throw it up, you jump as hard as you can." Jump as high as you can. I've got a way for you to have a second point of leverage. ”

Although he didn't quite understand the intentions of this human magician, the other party's judgment along the way was not very wrong. So Hardy decided to take a gamble, regardless of whether he wanted to gamble badly or not, and if he stumbled, he was afraid that he would have to swim in the magma river. He nodded and said, "I'll believe you again." ”

Lin raised his arm flat at his side, and added the auxiliary magic of the Great Force Technique to himself. Hardy was ready, and jumped into the human mage's arm. Just as he flung his arm forward, the gray cat jumped up with all his might, and instantly jumped up to the height of a three-story building.

Although the jumping power is amazing, it still can't hook the window sill of the destination. Just as Hardy's ascent was exhausted, and he was about to fall, his hind limbs touched something again.

"Charge up, do it again!" Lin said on the side.

The gray cat Hardy didn't have time to think about it, his limbs touched his arms, and he jumped again! This time, it was an easy time to jump on the windowsill. When I tried to go back to confirm the location of the human magician, I found that he had appeared at the edge of the window, climbing with one hand, and touching his index finger to his lips with the other hand, signaling silence. Fu pointed inside.

Hardy looked back, only to see a humanoid demon walking by on the inside of the closed window. At this time, he does not move, does not make any superfluous movements, and attracts the attention of the demon.

Once the hallway inside the window was empty, Hardy began to figure out how to open the window from the outside. Suddenly, he realized that the human magician had run to the inside of the castle and opened the window to let him in.

Lin still maintained the movement of holding his index finger to his lips with one hand, and pointed in the direction where the demon had left before. Hardy, who had walked in, turned his head to see that the demon had just walked around the corner, away from the man and the cat. Lin then put down his hand and said, "Follow me, speak as quietly as possible." Wait for Hardy to be fully inside, then close the window.

"You can just come in, why don't you just take me?" The gray cat, who lowered his voice, said with some annoyance.

"There's no way I'm going to flash with anything other than me, unless you have to put up with the feeling of being dizzy and your head swelling and moving on with the rest of your action. Either I'm overdrawn and can't continue to act. ”

The gray cat glared at the human magician, but didn't ask why. He jumped off the ledge and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Glancing left and right, Lin rubbed his chin full of stubble and said, "Look at the shape of the castle, it is a building structure similar to that of a human. According to custom, the nobler the person, the higher the residence. Then the roof of the tower was used to keep the nobles in place, and the prisoners were kept in the dungeon on the ground floor. How did the she-cat you said you were looking for compare in size and strength to you? ”

The opening narrative and the questioning at the end are beyond the reach of the eight poles. But Hardy replied, "Mauni is a little smaller than me." In terms of strength, I have more combat experience than him. But the power of magic is greater than mine. ”

"Understood, wait." The forest disappeared in situ. After three breaths, someone reappeared and said, "There are no creatures in the tower that match the characteristics you said."
