Chapter 77: Infiltration

Among the counts, there is also a division of the high.

In addition to his own title, Earl Levitt had two younger brothers, Emilius Levitt, and Auston Levitt.

One of them was the Admiral, the Kingdom's supreme naval commander in the Central Sunian Sea, and the other was the Governor of Olawe.

More crucially, Admiral Emilius is a true demigod, known as the "Weaver".

The Levitts are a family of demigods!

As long as the demigod Emilius is still around, and the Levitts don't make unforgivable mistakes, it will surely prosper.

In comparison, the Count of Wolf is far behind.

After the repeal of the Corn Law, food prices plummeted, and rents for fields and pastures fell off a cliff.

Due to the severe decline in land rent income, the Wolf family, as a conservative aristocracy, experienced financial difficulties and began to sell off their land in the remote countryside.

If it continues to be poorly managed, it is not impossible that the Wolf family will decline into the ranks of nobility over time.

That's a world of difference.

That's why Valilla had the audacity to go to Count Wolf's palace to steal.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, when the maid in the next small bedroom was asleep, Valilla quietly got up, changed into a trench coat and trousers, and was fully equipped to carry out the operation.

Of course, before leaving, she still used illusion to disguise herself, and placed a restrictive curse on her personal maid Leah.

Williams Street and West Villas Street are adjacent to each other, not far from Queens.

Valeera sped in the cool night breeze, and every time she landed and jumped, she was able to glide in the air for a distance of more than ten meters.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at Earl Wolf's Palace.

When she was covering up for Qili's theft at Earl Levitt's Court, she once disguised herself as a wealthy merchant and visited almost all of Queens, and then she knew the location of Earl Wolf's Court.

The rotten ship still had three pounds of nails, and Valeera wasn't overly supportive.

She sneaked into the courtyard stealthily, first wandered around the lawn and garden, probed with the virtual "invisible silk thread", and soon found the location of the outer vault.

After a few moments, Valera surveyed the structure of the outer vault and deduced the possible location of the entrance to the house.

Then, she reached out and wiped it in front of her eyes, opened the "gray vision" to reconnoitre, and left a "shadow" outside the house.

In the house, there was no one below the first floor;

It should be that the servants have withdrawn to the servants' room to rest.

There are three people on the second floor;

Judging from the position and movement, one person should be resting in the guest bedroom, and the other two people are gathered in the living room or chess room.

Most likely, these three men were extraordinary, responsible for guarding the Count's safety.

As for whether they were official extraordinaries or were privately cultivated by the earl, it is unknown.

The third floor has the largest number of people, about a dozen or so.

Judging from the position and movement, most of them are resting in various rooms, and only three of them have not yet fallen asleep.

Of the three, two were closer to each other, and the other was closer to the majority who were already resting.

Valera pondered and estimated that the two people closest to the third floor were the Earl and his valet, and the one alone was probably the maid on duty.

All in all, the three people on the second floor are the most dangerous.

This is good news for Valeera.

Because her two goals, the entrance to the inner library and the outer library, have nothing to do with the second floor.

She had roughly figured out the entrance to the outer library, and it was estimated that it was somewhere behind the left of the first floor of the house;

As for Neku, she plans to sneak into the house first, verify her reconnaissance results, and if possible, go to the master bedroom to investigate.

Because the two on the second floor were most likely extraordinary people with unknown sequences, Valilla gave up the idea of sneaking in through the window.

She walked around the house and soon found the servant's passage on the side of the house.

From here, there is free access to the house, but only in some areas below two floors.

This is because, at night, when the servants are cleared, the personal servants lock the key passages in and out of the main part of the house.

But that obviously didn't bother Valeera.

After mastering the ability of "invisible silk thread", she didn't even need a thin wire to pick up the lock, which can be said to be as easy as a finger.

Of course, that's for locks in general.

If it was a safe lock with a complex mechanical structure, she still couldn't do anything about it.

Valiera lowered the brim of her hat, rolled up her collar, and walked down the servant's passage, froze for a moment when she reached the key passage that connected the hall on the first floor.

There's a small fence hole in this door!

So the question is, did she pick the lock to open the door and sneak in? Or do you use "separation" to follow "casting" to sneak in?

After a few moments, Valeera decided to infiltrate through "split-shadow castling".

This is mainly due to the fact that "spectral castling" is more subtle, with almost no movement, and the risk of exposure is much less than that of picking a lock to open a door.

Through the fence doorway, Valeera summoned a "Split" at the edge of the hall, and then activated the "Translocation".

When the new "separation" in the house is formed, the "separation" outside the house disintegrates and dissolves at the same time.

Valera can only keep one split.

In order to achieve maximum concealment, Valeera switched to a squatting position after entering the house.

Because the main target of this operation, "Azk's Mask", is more likely to be placed in the inner library, she once again activated the "Split Castling" and went directly to the stairs leading to the third floor.

On the third floor, Valeera saw the Count and his valet in a huge study that looked like a small library with several large shelves of books, confirming her earlier suspicions.

She arranged the invisible silk thread, and after setting a simple wire net at the door of the study to remind her, she crept into the master bedroom, which almost looked like a complete house.

The huge and luxurious master bedroom is actually quite well partitioned, with a balcony, a bathroom, a cloakroom, a living room, a small bedroom for a personal servant, etc., and even a wine cooler and a bar.

In the room, almost all kinds of utensils are inlaid with gold and silver, or finely carved.

The elderly countess lay in a dark gray velvet futon, already asleep.

Valilla creates a "connection" between herself and the Countess and begins her signature version of mind reading.

It didn't take long for her to find out where the entrance to the inner library was and how to open it.

The entrance is behind the wine cabinet in the master bedroom, which looks like a wooden wine cabinet, but is actually an iron secret room door; As for the key to unlock the mechanism, it was actually the ring that the Countess wore on their hands, and there were only two of them.

Although the sound of the mechanism to open the secret room was not loud, it was enough to attract attention on such a quiet night.

Fortunately, Valeera was well prepared, which did not bother her.
