The forged letter was quickly created, and Duke Ramonard waved off the middle-aged man who had come to deliver the letter. "He is a master of forgery, and he is highly skilled, and he was cast out by our dear Highness Lunicion for a little thing, and I took him in in the Tengger Desert, where birds do not lay eggs. Here's a map that's not very detailed, I hope it helps you. The duke's hand shook, and a suit of clothes fell out, "This kind of secret thing, we need to have a trusted object to carry out, the king has chosen you, I hope you don't let him down." ”

Silently picking up the clothes he had used to disguise, the baron smiled wryly, took the thin package, and turned to the back of the curtain.

The heavy chain mail was stripped off, replaced by a light but only protective of the vital leather armor and a short black robe. Putting on a hood to disguise his identity, the baron stepped out.

"No one will recognize you, Baron. The Duke took a dagger from under his belt, which was cleverly embedded in his belt, "This is a weapon that I asked the master craftsmen of the dwarves to craft many years ago, I have never chosen a name, and no one has ever seen it, so take it." ”

It was an expensive weapon, the baron knew a thing or two from its scabbard, which was made of different precious metals, and he wanted to excuse himself, but the duke shoved it directly into Lildra's hand: "This is a good dagger, and it should be built up with the young master, and not buried deep in the ground one day with my decaying old man." ”

At this point, the baron had no choice but to take the dagger. It's made from a lot of well-known and unknown materials, and it feels like a chill runs from the palm of your hand to the bottom of your heart. "Take this standard longsword, your knight's sword is easy to be traced. The Duke considered every aspect for the Baron, "You have a good rest here, study the map, and I will send my carriage to take you to the neighborhood, may the Father bless us." The Duke drew the shape of a maple leaf on his chest with his fingers.

"May God the Father forgive me. The baron thought silently in his heart.

When the Luna took over control of the sky and the earth, an unmarked carriage quietly drove out of the back door of the Duke's mansion. After quietly changing carriages, the baron finally fended off his destination.

Residence of the Duke of Lunición.

In contrast to the gloomy and monotonous nature of the castle, the life-loving Duke opted for Carinthian architecture, which meant that his residence was practically semi-open.

Bypassing a few drunken officers, the baron climbed a tree with agility on his hands and feet, and he tried to slow down his movements so as not to be seen by the soldiers patrolling nearby.

However, no one paid attention to him. There was a commotion in the courtyard in the distance, and there seemed to be some kind of banquet going on there. The baron looked around, the strength of the guards was not weak, but most of them were chatting with a relaxed expression, and even the patrol seemed to be going through the motions. Lildra saw several soldiers sitting on the lawn drinking alcohol, weapons thrown aside.

With the exception of the soldiers standing guard at the gate, who were considered to be well-disciplined, the Duke's guards, like most of the soldiers in the Holy City, were accustomed to ease and laziness.

"That's great news. The baron muttered. He lightly descended from the tree, found the spot he had just chosen, stretched out his arm, silently climbed up the wall, and gently climbed down.

The Duke's mansion was definitely in keeping with his status, and there were four or five small lakes and babbling streams that were obviously man-made, and the Dogan trees were a valuable source of timber, not to mention the forest paths paved with neat stone slabs.

The baron easily avoided the patrolling bands of soldiers, who were complaining loudly about the weather and their salaries, so that any ill-intentioned person could hear the movements of these "poor men who did their duty but did not get their due salary".

Everything went smoothly. Until the baron discovers a dark hill.

Had it not been for the impatient removal of the wriggling worms with his hands, the Baron would most likely have been exposed to his sight. Lildella crawled near the bushes, trying to find a new path to the duke's study.

Following the map in his mind, the Baron roughly planned a new route, passing through a building that was supposed to be a living area, and he could reach the Baron's study.

He carefully reviewed his plan, and after confirming that it was correct, he bypassed the dark post.

Today's banquet had caused most of the guards and attendants to be concentrated in the courtyard and kitchen, and they hurried to and fro, lest they snub the guests of the hospitable host. This also creates a great opportunity for our baron to dive in.

Gently pushing open the wooden door, the baron dodged into the living quarters. As the door slowly closed with him, Rildra's heart beat faster and faster. Leather boots sewn from fawn skin made an inaudible sound as he slowly and firmly became one with his surroundings, slowly but surely moving towards his goal.

The living quarters are carefully stocked with precious trinkets from all over the world, and this should only be the room of the high-class waiters. The designers have skillfully integrated the different styles of objects into the decoration of the house. After the baron had walked around a golden tree more than a man tall, the duke's study came into view.

As a vassal and elegant aristocrat, Luncion deliberately designed the study as a separate room, which was very inconspicuous compared to the magnificence of the whole complex.

But those who know the goods can see at a glance that this so-called inconspicuous study is all made of one of the most precious woods on the mainland, agarwood. The baron didn't know much about the tastes of these native aristocrats, but the faint scent he could smell from the window of the quarters spoke for itself.

The study was unguarded, and after taking a closer look around, the baron quickly ran to the door of the study and began to inspect the mechanism and other gadgets.

The Duke of Lunicion clearly lacked the necessary vigilance, but few normal nobles would design deadly traps at the door of their study.

As the baron pushed open the slightly heavy wooden door, Lunicion's study was like a girl in love, giving everything she had without reservation.

The study room is not small, but the collection of books from all over the world makes it a bit crowded. Judging by the quality of these books, his master must have not looked through them for a long time. "What a guy who doesn't learn anything but loves to show off. The baron shrugged his shoulders and shoved a few letters into a few less conspicuous places. "I'm sure this will be a surprise to our Lord Duke. Lildra muttered to herself.

A sharp sword suddenly rested lightly on his shoulder, the sharp blade clinging to the tender neck, and a mocking voice came from behind the baron, "Oh, what kind of surprise is it, uninvited guest?"
