Chapter 52: Sneaking In

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's the magistrate's carriage, let the car in. Nonsense, obeying orders also has to be divided, Your Excellency the chief officer is over eighty years old, do you want people to walk in by themselves? Hurry up and ajarize the barricade and let the old chief in, and you will accompany you, stop near the gate, and don't go quickly. ”

With a roar, the old carriage creaked into the fence around the castle, and the old groom smiled kindly at the soldiers who accompanied him, whispering about the busy state of the castle. The two chatted so engrossively that no one noticed that when the carriage passed a corner, there was a soft sound, and a dark figure rolled out from under the carriage and rolled directly into the flowers on the side of the road.

The carriage soon went farther and farther, and Babu poked his head out of the flowers, and his hand subconsciously reached to his waist. But soon found that he felt empty, and there was only an ordinary leather belt around his waist, and there was nothing he instinctively wanted to use.

"Tsk, I don't know if the blacksmith has rushed out what I want, I hope I can take it out when I leave, it will be much more convenient to do this kind of thing next time." So, they were right, what did I do before, and why did I use such weird things? ”

Patting the empty belt self-deprecatingly, Babu took a deep breath, and when he spit it out, he had already put away the banter on his face, and looked around with a sharp gaze, every brick and stone, every grass and tree, every person and every thing around him, could not escape his sharp gaze, and it was clearly observed.

In the moment of his gaze, all the areas he had observed seemed to have constructed an invisible map in his mind, and every living creature he observed around him was marked on this spiritual map, and even moved instantly.

One of the patrol guards turned around and turned back the way he came, and as soon as he turned his head, a dark shadow flashed behind him, and a gust of wind was raised.

The guard touched the cold back of his neck, quickly looked behind him, and although he glanced around and saw that what he saw was no different from before, he went back and looked around, until he confirmed that everything was normal, he muttered a few times in confusion, and continued along the previous route. But within seconds of him turning back to make his rounds, Babu had emerged from a shadow that had avoided his sight, and was one step ahead of his patrol, and before he could turn back to make his rounds, he was left behind completely.

"Well, nothing happened."

"What can be any accidents, Your Majesty has just slept peacefully, who would be stupid to make trouble now."

"Not necessarily, maybe there are people with bad intentions who want to wreak havoc. And don't forget, the three have always been at odds, and now His Highness has gone to the farewell room first, and when the other two arrive, something may happen. So you all cheer me up and stand up for the post, no one is allowed to be lazy, and after these few days, the time to decide is over, and you have time to be lazy. ”

Several guards gathered in a pile, and the small leader of the patrol reprimanded loudly, and the other two guards did not dare to raise their heads when they were scolded, so they didn't see that under the white wall behind the small leader, a babu in a white robe slipped over against the wall, and there was no sound during the whole process.

Sneaking into the courtyard and bypassing the vestibule along the outer wall of the castle, there were many guards on the road, coming and going from time to time, the route was complicated and chaotic, and there seemed to be no loopholes, but Babu walked all the way as if he was in a no-man's land, he didn't even need to pause too much, it was like a normal walk under the wall, but none of the guards along the way could touch his shadow, so he swaggered through the heavily guarded courtyard.

"Hiss~"

The circle of guards had been left behind, and through the small empty space in front of them, he could open the unguarded side door and enter the castle, but the next step was just about to step out, and the premonition of the back made Babu gasp, and he stopped in an instant, leaving in the cover of the bush shadow.

There shouldn't be a fear area, especially the side door leading to the interior, at least someone should be sent to stand guard, and it's too obvious that there is not a single guard. Babu glanced around, and he instinctively found the best spots for the outposts to hide.

Left, right, up, tsk, found you.

Within a few seconds, Babu had spotted at least two secret sentinels, and if he had just stepped out rashly, he would have been the first to be alarmed, but now......

Babu slowly pulled back, following the blind spot of the two dark sentinels, bypassing the suspicious entrance.

Since one of the side gates had a dark sentry, it is likely that all gates were arranged with secret sentry to ensure that only officials who were qualified to enter the castle entered. In this case, there was no need to waste any more time trying to go to the other side doors, and once he made up his mind, even though the entrance was already close at hand, Babu still bypassed the target without looking back, and quietly infiltrated the exterior wall renovation site that was no longer working.

In the previous place, where the prisoner fell to death, there were still dried blood stains in the stone cracks, but now that such a big thing has happened, there is no intention of construction from top to bottom, so the construction site, which was originally occupied from morning to night, has become an empty blank area.

Suddenly a white cloud drifted through the sky, casting a shadow in the bright sun, and Babu, who had repeatedly confirmed that there was no dark whistle around, rushed through the unsheltered open area in a moment of light and shadow, and got into the shadow of the scaffolding as quickly as possible.

It's backlit, and with the scaffolding covering it layer by layer, it's still dark even though it's the sunshine of the afternoon. Entering the shadow shroud, wandering on the edge of the bright world, Babu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, like a wanderer who had been away from his homeland for many years finally returned home, closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, took a deep breath of the cool air in the shadows, and when he opened his eyes again, his body had already floated up like a cloud of fog, and landed gently and skillfully on the first layer of scaffolding.

"It's good that I didn't take Anna with me, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy. I hope that the little guy won't cry even if he wakes up halfway, it doesn't matter if other children cry, this child is going to die if he cries, I hope Monica can coax it. ”

Sighing and laughing sympathetically, Babu looked up at the scaffolding dozens of meters above his head, seemingly casually glanced, but within his field of vision, every foothold, every hidden place, was accurately marked in his brain.

Babu's palm lightly touched the scaffolding, and the strength increased exponentially under the increase of source energy, and his body rolled upside down and rose straight into the sky, seeing that the castration was about to end, and the toe tapped the crossbar, and the dexterous turn of the body drilled through several planks, and disappeared between the scaffolding in a blink of an eye, and landed firmly on the plank facing a row of windows on the fourth floor.

With a click, the window actually opened, and a person poked his head out of the window.

The moment he heard the window, Babu rolled over, picked at the gap in the plank, and leaned straight against the back of the board.

"Hey, why is the wooden plank outside shaking, blown by the wind?" The person in the window first looked up and found nothing, then looked down and muttered suspiciously, "There's no wind and no one, why did you just shake up by yourself." I didn't hear that those prisoners would have to go to work today. ”

The plank below was not wide, just over a meter, and it was twenty or thirty meters high below, but Babu remained motionless against the plank, and even the sound of breathing remained steady.

"It's weird." All the people inside could see was the horizontal planks of layers of scaffolding, and there was a figure to be seen.

"Don't look, there's no one outside, isn't it just the wind blowing, it just happened that the wind stopped, hurry up and work, hang the black cloth out."

The person inside was urging again, interrupting the person looking out, the man reluctantly took a large piece of black cloth stuffed inside and nailed it to the window frame, and then threw the cloth out of the window, and muttered reluctantly throughout the whole process: "What's the hurry, take your time, this place is blocked by a shelf, and you can't see it outside, it doesn't matter if you hang it or not, do you think there is still someone in charge now, Your Majesty has ...... it."

"Shut up, Your Majesty is asleep, but several highnesses are here, if something goes wrong with such an important matter as hanging a black cloth, no matter who succeeds to the throne, it is impossible to let us two go. Hurry up and get to work, I don't want to die with you if you want to die. ”

In pairs, the long black cloth hung down from the window, and if you looked closely, the same black cloth had been hung out of each window below, and when the breeze blew, the black curtains fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of solemnity to the castle.

When they had finished their work, the two of them skillfully closed the window and left the room, and not long after they closed the door and left, the latch of the window began to move very discreetly, and soon fell out of the lock, and the window was easily opened from the outside, and the Báb entered silently.

"The first step is infiltration, success." With a sigh of relief, the Barb cautiously closed the window, leaning on the door and listening. Just now, the two of them dared to secretly say such taboo words, it was very likely that there was no guard at the door, otherwise they would not dare to talk nonsense. But despite the high probability, Babu listened carefully to make sure that there was no one outside, so he opened the door and slipped into the circular corridor on the fourth floor outside.

Under the high vault, the corridor was empty, and in the silence, there were noisy voices in the distance. Babu squinted, recalling the terrain and room layout of the castle that Abby and Aurora had just given him a brief introduction to before they set off.

"Bang", a door not far away was violently slammed open, and two male servants sorted out their clothes and rushed out. And at this moment, Babu had already borrowed strength from both sides of the wall and rushed to the roof.

"You said that you can waste so much time changing clothes, it can't be deliberately lazy, this time it's going to be the last one. Cufflinks cufflinks, buttoned up, work badges, hurry up, don't rub it in. ”

The two of them hurried past the Báb and ran down the corridor, neither bothering to look up, so that no one noticed that the Báb was clinging to the vault like a spider, his fingers clasping the protruding ornaments to steady his body, and he looked condescendingly at what was happening below. When the two of them left, Babu let go of his hand and landed lightly on the thick carpet, without making a sound.

As soon as he landed, Babu hurried a few steps, pushed open the door where the two men came out, and hid inside.

Inside was a simplely furnished bedroom, presumably a servant's room, and Babu thought for a second, quickly rummaging through the room.

Three minutes later, Babu pushed open the door and walked out, dressed in a servant's uniform, not very fitting, but evident from time to time.

After straightening his black bow tie, Babu took a deep breath and rubbed his face, and when he lowered his hand, his face was still the same face, but his expression and demeanor were no longer distinguishable from those of the squires.

He looked tired, but his steps were still hurried, and he trotted all the way, turning around the corridor on the fourth floor for half a circle before finding the staircase down.

"A few of you, hurry up to the hall on the first floor and send the drinks down, don't prepare spirits today, just prepare some sweet wine and drinks. Hurry up, those are high-ranking officials, dare to make them wait, I don't think you want your life. ”

The servants in black vests outside were standing in the center of the hall on the third floor giving orders, and there were people running around from time to time, without stopping for a moment, some carrying trays, some carrying stools, and some holding shawls and blankets, and they were dazzlingly busy.

"Hey, you, don't run, I see you." The black vest was shouting and sweating, and suddenly another servant passed behind him. It was obviously facing away, but the black vest was very vigilant and grabbed the servant who almost ran over with his head down.

The servant who was grabbed by the collar turned around, it was a young and childish face, and he was looking at the black vest blankly: "Foreman, is there something wrong?" ”

The foreman grabbed his collar and roared, "Where's your badge?" I've told you countless times, bring a work card and a work card, otherwise there are hundreds of you, who can tell your identity. ”

"I brought it, it's not ...... Hey? As soon as the young man lowered his head, he found that the badge on his chest was gone, so he could only bow his head to meet the foreman's reprimand, and at the same time as the reprimand, several attendants with badges walked down to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the second floor, several of his servants scattered to their destinations, and Babu walked towards the second floor, where the body of the city lord Wesley was, according to Abby, was on the second floor. When the other servants saw the direction of the Báb, they were a little puzzled, but no one asked more, and ran down the floor to go about their own business, and not long after they left, someone came up from the first floor alone and unabashedly.

Because he is His Royal Highness.

said that he couldn't wait, so he went to the farewell room alone to see him off, but in fact, after entering the castle, he had been talking to the group of important ministers on the first floor, and only then did he go up to the second floor alone, and went to the farewell room to see him off for the last time according to Wesley's request, and saw his movements quite hesitantly, stopped at the door of the target room and stood for a long time, then twisted the doorknob and opened the closed door of the farewell room.

The door opened, His Royal Highness was just about to enter, there was a sudden click on the wall behind him, he subconsciously let go of the doorknob, turned back to find what was ringing, and ignored a black shadow The moment he turned around, he squeezed lightly past him, and entered the farewell room silently.

His Royal Highness searched for it, but found nothing unusual, and he didn't think much about it, turned around and walked into the farewell room.

Click, the door to the farewell room, slowly closed behind him.
