If you want to do things quietly, it's best to choose at night.

During the day, Lawson made some emergency arrangements outside Silvermoon Castle, and then waited patiently outside the city until nine o'clock in the evening.

Waiting for dark, and waiting for the Count to wake up.

If the Count had woken up, there would have been no need to risk it at all.

After nine o'clock.

At the bottom of a large oak tree outside Silvermoon Castle.

Lawson, dressed in an ordinary cotton coat, stood with his back against the trunk of a tree, and after one last look at his pocket watch, he said to Shabolai, who was pacing back and forth in front of him: "It's almost time. ”

"Let's get started."

Lawson raised the Mana Torrent Staff and lightly tapped it on the two of them.

Extraordinary Mirroring: Nightfall.

The bodies of the two of them became pitch black, completely blending into the night.

Lawson then grabbed Chapole's arm.

"Ready, it's time to take off."

"Okay."

Lawson unleashed his flying spell and soared into the sky.

Inevitably discovered by the ground defenders, he flew very high, more than 500 meters, and his body was shrouded in the mirror image of the night, so he was completely invisible in the sky.

It is inevitable that the wind will make a noise, and the speed is not too fast, only about the same as an ordinary galloping horse.

As soon as you enter Silvermoon Castle, follow the plan and rush to your first destination: Mochizuki Garden.

After a while, the two of them were over Mochizuki Garden.

Looking down from the air, you can see that the Mochizuki Garden is brightly lit, and the number of patrol guards has increased several times.

You can also see a faint glimmer of light emanating from all corners, which is the light of detecting spells.

At this level of vigilance, I'm afraid even rats won't be able to sneak in.

Apparently, Vappos was well prepared.

Rosen asked, "Uncle, do you have a way to sneak into the Mochizuki Garden?"

This step is not necessary, just to understand the Count's physical condition.

Chabolai insisted on doing so, and Rosen, a little worried, agreed to the somewhat wayward request.

But if you really can't get in, skip this step and go straight to the next step.

Shabolai thought carefully for a moment and said, "There is a working method, and only I know it. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the northwest corner of the garden.

"Look over there, it used to be adjacent to the Huangshui River, and the bank of the river was a high cliff dozens of meters high, and there was a small raised platform on the cliff."

Rosen squinted, but didn't find the platform.

"The platform is very secretive, you have to lower some height to see it from a certain angle."

Rosen complied, and soon discovered what Shapole had said.

It's a tiny bulge, less than half a square meter.

Shabolai whispered.

"That place I found when I was a child, there was a small hole on the side of the platform, the hole was not deep, about four or five meters, and the inner wall of the hole was only more than five meters from the ground of the small garden in the backyard."

Hearing this, Rosen already understood: "It's okay to dig a hole in the ground and enter the garden, but I'm afraid that I will be surrounded when I come out of the hole." ”

Shabolai immediately shook his head and pointed to the position again.

"Look over there, the most corner of the small garden, because of the fence and flower stands, is a dead spot for the guards to patrol, and only some probe hounds are free-range."

"I used to be recuperating in the garden and I fed them a lot. The hounds are affectionate to me, let's go out of there, and they promise not to say a word. ”

Lawson was relieved and praised: "Uncle, you dog is well fed." ”

Xia Bolai smiled: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, I was bored, so I fed it, I didn't expect it to come in handy now." ”

He pointed to another location: "Look at the innermost part of the yard, where a large patch of ivy grows." ”

"The vine looked fluffy because there was a supporting trellis underneath. The bottom of the trellis is empty, so you can crawl on the ground. ”

"Let's set up the exit of the passage there. You estimate that you will have to dig a passage more than ten meters long, no problem, right? ”

Lawson swept the shape of the Mochizuki Garden into the spell virtual machine, simulated the calculation, and then said, "It's not far, it's no problem."

It only needs to dig 17 meters, and it is only a small passage for people to crawl, and it basically does not consume any mana.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the high cliff platform, and sure enough, they saw a very narrow stone crack, about 2 meters high, half a meter wide, and it was pitch black, and they had to turn sideways to get in.

With a thought, Lawson picked up the Mana Torrent Staff and kept a constant spell of extreme dexterity on himself and Shabolai's body, and the Thorn Shield.

When casting the spell, he clearly felt the power of the mana torrent staff, not only handy, but the final spell strength also broke through to the extreme of the master's level 1.

If you add the assistance of calming your mind, you can easily reach the level 2 of the master, and with the Flower Staff, you can only barely break through.

After the release is completed, the mana recovery rate is also ridiculously fast, and the mana consumed is increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"The pinnacle of the master's work is really extraordinary!"

Soon, the two reached the depths of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, but the inside of the cave is quite spacious.

Lawson first kept a Therlandis dark canopy at the mouth of the cave to prevent the light from leaking out, and then released a light spell to illuminate the inside of the cave.

You can see that there are many childish graffiti of children on the inner walls of the cave, and the notes are very blurry and covered with moss.

Shabol glanced at it, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgia.

"When I was a child, every time my eldest brother bullied me, I would quietly hide here to relax. I waited until my aunt sent someone to find me, and then I ran out, hehe. ”

"So, this is my secret world."

Rosen felt that Xia Bolai's background seemed to be beautiful, but it should have been quite bitter when he was a child.

Because the walls are covered with graffiti, it means that he came here often, that is to say, he was often bullied by Vobos.

Of course, all this is in the past.

After calculating the direction of digging the hole in the magic virtual machine, Lawson said, "Uncle, you stand back, I'll start digging." ”

"Okay."

Rosen's mind flickered, and his staff pointed at a spot at the top of the cave, unleashing a gravitational disintegration technique with extremely low dexterity.

I saw that the stone wall with a radius of one meter above was affected by an invisible force, and quickly disintegrated into fine sand, and the sand flowed to the bottom of the cave under the action of gravity.

Lawson kept the spell going, and the sand and dust flowed down, and the passage became deeper and deeper.

After about ten minutes, Lawson felt his staff slightly empty, and he felt like he had lost his focus, knowing that he had dug through the ground.

The whole process took about less than 10% of mana.

"Uncle, it's through."

"I'll climb in first, and when I've pacified the hounds, you'll come along."

After speaking, he climbed up the passage in a vertical leap, using his hands and feet together, like a tiger swimming on the wall, and rose rapidly.

After about half a minute, Shabolai's muffled voice came from the passage.

"It's safe, come on."

Rosen used a levitation technique on himself to quickly follow.

After coming out of the hole, he found that there was a circle of tall and mighty Dharma hounds around him, there were five of them, all of them licking his face with their tongues, eager to pounce on him and be coquettish.

It can be seen that Xia Bolai must feed them delicious food every day, and the cultivation of feelings is very deep.

Shabolai also greeted the hounds softly: "Terry, Lanlan, Pvanni, it's good to see you~"

He stroked the dog's head and patted the dog on the back, quickly calming the excited hound.

"Alright, let's go."

The two of them followed the narrow passage at the bottom of the ivy trellis, crawling all the way.

After some tossing, we came to the bottom of a stone building, four floors up, with a raised balcony, and the windows behind the balcony shone with a pale yellow magic light.

It was the room of Markiri, the housekeeper of Mochizuki Garden, and it was half past nine in the evening.

He hadn't slept yet, and that was to be expected, as Marchiri slept after 11 o'clock all year round.

Malkiri is the eye of the Count, and the most well-informed person in the Mochizuki Garden must know the Earl's situation, so naturally it is the goal of the two of them to enter the garden at night.

"Rosen, you wait here for me, I'll climb up and knock on the window, and when everything is safe, I'll send you a signal."

Rosen nodded, and at the same time the staff touched Shabolai's body a little, unleashing a mirror image that was the same as the pattern on the wall.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he easily grabbed the gap in the stone wall, used his hands and feet together, and climbed up briskly, and after more than ten seconds, he was outside the balcony.

He shrunk back, put his ear to the balcony door and listened for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he knocked lightly on the door and shouted in his mouth.

"Malkiri~Malkiri~"

After shouting a few times, Malkiri responded from behind the small door: "General, why are you here?" ”

Shabolai quickly explained.

Malkiri opened the small door, walked to the balcony and leaned over to look at Lawson on the ground, then looked left and right, and after making sure that no one had noticed, he immediately waved at Lawson.

Rosen then used a flying technique and entered Marchiri's room with Shabolai.

Malkiri looked around again, made sure it was safe, and then gently closed the door.

The housekeeper's room wasn't big, but it wasn't small, and the walls around it were lined with bookshelves on which countless documents were placed.

After the two of them stood still, Malkiri said directly: "General, mayor, I knew that you would definitely come." ”

Shabolai was stunned: "Huh? ”

Malkiri turned and walked over to the bookshelf and pulled out a very delicate scroll of blue and gold paper from a hidden corner.

"Last night, with the help of the High Priest of Fao, the Count was briefly awake for a moment."

"She wrote the scroll right away, and told me that if you come, give it to you. And if you don't come within two days, the scroll will be destroyed to prevent the heights from falling into turmoil. ”

Malkiri handed the scroll to Shabolai.

Shabolai opened it and saw that it was written.

"In the name of the god of gold, in the name of the glory of the House of Omixia, I, Sophia. Morality. Count Omixia VIII officially passed the throne to Chapole. Omixia, Count of Omixia IX. ”

Below is Sophia's autograph and unique spell stamp.

After reading it, Xia Bolai burst out of his eyes with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Aunt~"

Then he hurriedly asked, "How is my aunt's health?"

There was a hint of annoyance on Malkyrie's face.

"The archbishop of Fao said that if he was taken care of, he would wake up in about five or six days, but Fu Bo was busy seizing power, and he couldn't wait for his wife, in short, this man was too cold-blooded."

As soon as he heard this, Chapole clenched his fists and his teeth rattled.

"Big brother is too much!"

Malkiri took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and looked straight: "General, Madame still has a few words for you."

"Speak, please." Shapole had a lot of respect for Marchieri.

Marchiri began to paraphrase earnestly.

"Madame said that she will pass on the throne to you, but please also pay attention to a few points of the general."

"First, she was very seriously injured this time, and it was normal for her to be in a coma for ten days and half a month. Aside from this Throne Scroll, it won't be of any real help to you. And Vobos will never recognize this succession order, so it is up to you to make your own efforts. ”

"Second, no matter what, Vopos is your eldest brother and a member of the House of Omixia. No matter how much you fight, you have to spare his life. ”

"I will." Shabolai assured with a hateful face.

"Third, don't mess up Silvermoon Castle too much, and minimize the damage. If you can't, go to Gen Lawson for help. ”

Speaking of this, Malkiri glanced at Rosen and smiled, "Master Rosen, since you are here together, you should have a follow-up plan of action, right?" ”

Rosen nodded, "Yes, and things are going a lot smoother than I expected." ”

He had not expected this Earl's Succession, and its existence would make things an order of magnitude less difficult.

Malkiri was delighted, but then sighed in frustration.

"After Madame's accident, Vaupos imprisoned me in this room, so I can't help you more in terms of intelligence."

Rosen smiled: "No, the help of this succession is enough."

After speaking, he and Shabolai glanced at each other: "Let's act!" ”
