As the sky darkened, Alphonse's body melted into the shadows as if out of thin air, and began to follow the shadows towards the Wizard Research Institute.

His subordinates also began to enter the shadows, but they were not as perfect as him, and there was no trace at all after blending, and there would be some feeling of bulge in the shadows.

For this plan, Tristan is also well prepared, this group of secret guards are all selected from the army, not to be very powerful, but the profession must be assassins, thieves and the like, because this type of warrior can master the skills of stealing in the shadows.

According to the information received, most of the Wizard Research Institute is underground, guarded by a soldier belonging to the Guards, but most importantly, the mages in the Wizard Research Institute are too difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the intelligence shows that the mages who have been conducting another research on what production line has been conducting in the recent period of time, and have traveled to another city far away from San Quentin, including the legendary mage Fernando, who is most worried.

This was a great opportunity, and it was because of this information that Tristan resolutely agreed to the orc's request to help them enter Santa Quentin as well, and the Srek priestesses would attract some attention and make it easier for Alphonse and them.

The shadows seemed to creep slightly, and Alphonse led the army to sneak into the Wizarding Research Institute along the shadows of the building.

Although it can be seen that the patrols of the Kingdom Guard are faithfully carrying out their duties, no one can detect the anomaly in the shadows.

Alphonse appeared in the shadow of the door, giving the order to begin. The time to come. It is already impossible to hide completely. It can only advance at maximum speed, hoping to succeed and retreat.

The black-clad guards nodded, blending into the shadows once more and beginning to dive in all directions.

The most difficult thing here is just beginning, and it is even more difficult to deal with inside than the outside, not only with mid-to-high-level mages, but also with magic vigilance and various magic traps. That's why Tristan had to muster one of these troops, as the thieves also had the ability to disarm devices.

Alphonse had also chosen a path that would not provide all the maps of the underground area, and the only route that was most likely of value was the one he had chosen now, which was said to lead to the place where the Institute of Magic had stored its research materials.

He followed the shadows like a cat, and suddenly the alarm bell above his head went off, it wasn't aimed at him, he was sure that there were at least three magic traps and two magic guards along the way, but he had dismantled them. And the guard let him pass as if he didn't know him.

However, the alarm bell just now means that it has been exposed, at least someone has been discovered. There may have been a conflict.

Alphonse stood up from the shadows, and the most important thing at this time was no longer to hide, but to accelerate.

He adjusted his breathing and began to move quickly, a middle-aged man wearing a mage robe appeared in front of him, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then he remembered the alarm bell just now, and was about to react, but he was holding a huge tray in his hand at this time, which was full of items that he was about to take to the real yàn room, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little longer, whether to throw it away immediately.

And so he lost his life.

Alphonse blew past him like the wind, and when he finally decided to put down the tray, two short blades slipped out of his sleeve and slit his throat, and he didn't even have a chance to cast a defensive spell.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself, and to be hesitant to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself, these are the words of Alphons's mentor when he advanced to the high-ranking Assassins.

Alphonse continued to move forward, and all the people who appeared in the road in front of him were killed by him, including two mid-level mages who were similar to the people who died just now, and two companions, and there were people like secret guards hidden in this underground area, which made Alphonse feel a pang in his heart.

Next, he found a real yàn room, which was where a high-level mage with two middle-level mages was doing what was really yàn, and there seemed to be two low-level mages next to him who were also looking at them with an intoxicated face, probably assistants. But they didn't even come out to help or investigate, but looked fanatical, and it wasn't until Alphonse suddenly struck hard at the head of the high-ranking mage that they seemed to be interrupted from an unknown world, cursing and preparing to kill him.

Originally, the high-level mage was not so vulnerable to heavy damage, but Alphonse was a trick assassin, and the trick assassin had the ability to remove a non-legendary magic effect from a target after touching it.

This ability gives Alphonse a big advantage when fighting against mages, because it can directly reduce the effect of defensive magic on the opponent's body, and it is easy to succeed, as long as the opponent's mental power is not more than twice his own.

After inflicting heavy damage on the High Mage, it was much easier to deal with the rest of the people, and when the bodies of the five mages lay on the ground and the room was in disarray, Alphonse licked the cold dagger, and blood dripped from his elbow and landed on the floor.

He was also wounded.

However, he didn't have time to deal with it for himself at all, so he just used his mind and fighting spirit to stop the blood, tense his muscles, and began to search this real yàn room, and got something that looked like a real yàn diary.

After putting it away, he quickly walked out of this real room, which was not his ultimate goal, and he continued to walk deeper.

The darkness ahead suddenly stopped him, and the alertness of his mind alerted him to danger, and he instinctively melted into the shadows again.

There is no enemy to see in the dark, it is very vague, but in the deepest part, he can vaguely see a closed door, which may hide what he wants, and the previous real record may be stored in it, as long as they can get it and bring it back, the mages of Titanya can avoid many detours and quickly catch up with the footsteps of the forerunners.

But the sense of danger ahead has not diminished at all, and in normal times, Alphonse would most likely choose to wait forever. Look at the person in the dark and who can't help it first.

The person who gave him a sense of danger must have been a peer. Alphonse felt that way.

But he couldn't wait. Time has passed, and the entire Academy of Magic has been alarmed, and there is less and less time that can be given to him, and the people he brought may be buying him time with blood.

Even if the mages of the other research institutes will continue to indulge in research and not search for him after clearing the enemy, like the mage group just now, the Asturians who guard this place, whether it is a patrol force outside. The secret guards who are still similar to themselves will not let go, and it will only be more dangerous if they wait.

Alphonse gritted his teeth, handed a short blade to his other hand, and the five fingers of his free hand opened and pressed in the direction of the door, and the other ability of the tricky assassin was activated, and it was dismantled remotely.

There was an immediate movement in the depths, as if someone was standing in front of the door and opening the door.

The wind rose, and someone swooped out of the darkness and struck at the door.

Alphonse cried out with joy in his heart, he had been tricked, in this dark environment. In addition to having night vision like the Dark Elves, even a high-ranking assassin like him could only see blurry scenes with low-light vision. Believing in the opponent too, does not fully confirm the enemy.

He immediately sprang out like a cat, stabbing his blades straight into the enemy he could already sense.

The other party snorted, and the two high-level professionals fought in the dark.

After a few clashes of weapons, Alphonse deftly landed under the wall, not making a sound.

In the fight just now, he had the upper hand, and the other party was really a peer, and it was quite powerful, but unfortunately he was led by him to expose his whereabouts first, not only was he stabbed first, but then completely suppressed.

But it still failed to take his life, the enemy was really strong, and if it was a fair fight, Alphonse felt that he was more likely to lose, at least if he fell into this disadvantage, he might have died. And the other party was able to pull back bit by bit, and got rid of his pursuit at the cost of being injured.

Fortunately, the initiative was already in Alphonse's hands, and the enemy could no longer hide his body, because he was wounded, and the smell of blood would reveal his location.

"Get out of the way, I'll let you go. Alphonse said.

"In that case, I can't explain it to anyone, and the task he gave me was to take care of the research institute. The other man spoke.

"Then you should die. Alphonse moved again like an arrow from a bow.

But this time he was greeted by a pair of crossed blades, crossed like a diagonal cross, and behind the two blades were a pair of sneering eyes.

Alphonse's twin blades slashed right at the diagonal cross, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and his strength seemed to have entered a deep sea, and the next moment he counterattacked with a much more furious counterattack.

Oops, I got tricked.

Alphonse could almost immediately conclude that he had been countercalculated by the other party this time, and that man had used some special sword skill to wait for him to attack, and he wanted to turn defeat into victory.

The power on the blade of the sword recoiled back, Alphonse noticed that this power not only returned his previous strength, but also the power of the other party to join, in other words, he couldn't take it at all, the assassin is good at assassination, even if it is also at a high level, their use of fighting spirit often produces more terrifying blade skills and lethality, rather than for body protection, once the strength can't suppress this counterattack, Alphonse is very likely to be dissected and torn apart.

At the most dangerous moment, Alphons's body suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and a small puff of smoke rose from its original position, and an alchemical substitute like rotten wood turned into powder in an instant, and he suffered this terrible counterattack instead.

However, the crisis was not completely resolved, and the opponent sighed again, obviously surprised that he could escape this careful calculation, but the initiative had changed hands, and the opponent of course also took advantage of the situation to fight back.

Alphonse's body appeared under the wall less than five meters away, and his head made a fierce close contact with the wall, as if he had hit his head against the wall.

This is the result of the substitution technique just now, and this is also the life-saving trick of the trickery assassin, activate an alchemy substitute with the effect of substitution in advance, and within a certain period of time, once it is assassinated by an indefensible assassination, it can be transferred with mental power in an instant to bear it instead of himself, and he will move randomly within ten meters without obstacles.

But it was a tunnel in the dark, so as soon as he hit the wall, he immediately stopped.

It was the pain that woke him up instantly. The enemy in the darkness has taken the opportunity to hurt him.

Whether it's to complete the mission given by Prince Tristan. It's just about saving your life. Alphonse had no choice but to continue the fight with the enemy in front of him.

Until the winner is decided, life and death-

There was a lot of noise and roars, and the sounds of battle.

The mages of the Wizard Research Institute have already discovered the intruders, not all of Alphons' men have the same abilities as him, and the assassins and thieves have great stealth abilities, but they either go directly to the shadow level or stay in the shadows all the time, otherwise the mages will also have the means to detect them.

Assassins and thieves about the ability to harness shadows. There are three levels, the most powerful legendary assassins can enter the real shadow plane, with the help of the plane piercing Jun to make shadow jumps, and some high-level assassins can enter the shadow plane, which is the plane mezzanine that can be produced by any plane, just like the immature half-plane, mages will use the mature half-plane as their warehouse, and the assassins can use these plane mezzanine to temporarily hide, which is an alternative invisibility technique, but only if it is not attacked or locked by mental power. Otherwise they will still be attacked, and they are still in this plane. Unlike the Legendary Assassin's Shadow Jump, which actually reaches the Shadow Plane and then jumps back, the average High-Level Assassin or Mid-Tier Assassin has only mastered the ability to hide and move in the natural shadows.

The mages also have a long history of fighting with assassins and thieves, and in addition to relying on their own preset defensive spells, they also have some means, which is to place magic guards and traps nearby.

So it quickly became a battle between mages and invaders, and it was obvious that the people brought by Alphonse were not enough to see at all, you must know that there were a large number of middle and high-level mages gathered in the Magic Research Institute.

Lukan moved cautiously and quickly, he did not go to the battle.

When he saw the portal in front of him, Lu Kan breathed a sigh of relief, there seemed to be no one, he tentatively pushed it gently, but there was no response, sure enough, there was no one, the dwarf elder Borok should have been alarmed, and went out to kill the invaders.

He pushed open the door and stepped in, scanning the important room.

He was the second chess piece of His Highness Tristan, and the wise Highness did not like to put all his eggs in the same basket.

Even the first chess piece Alphonse was just a victim, and it was of course best if he could get an important research record, and if he couldn't, then he could also attract the toughest people to play against and give Lukan a chance.

In addition to the records in the reference room, there are two other places that are actually more important, because these two real yàn rooms may have the latest results, that is, the Ulysses real yàn room and the Cecilia real yàn room, which were formed separately due to differences, but both of them are very crowded and extremely difficult to start.

But Lukan also found a third place of opportunity, that is, the dwarven real yàn room that had just been established, the dwarves were not convinced, thinking that the source force gun had a third direction, so that Solomon had to allocate a real yàn room for them to use, and because they had been cooperating with Ulysses and Cecilia in the early stage, although they had less information in their hands, they could also help Titania avoid detours.

Lukan began to search, as long as he found Borock's research materials, this short and ugly old thing had a good relationship with Cecilia, and maybe she could get her help in the preliminary research, and the woman was just a sign of Ulysses.

As long as he finds useful information and gives it to His Highness Tristan, he will return to Titania and live a good life.

Although he also signed a magic contract with punishment when he entered the Magic Research Institute, but fortunately it was not a high-level contract, and the high-level contract was evidenced by the gods, which was quite troublesome, and he was only a mid-level mage, so he only signed a contract with a magic backlash punishment.

This kind of contract, Prince Tristan promised to help him find a way to dissolve or suppress it. Lu Kan is also mentally prepared, if he can't be lifted smoothly, even if it is death, he will not regret it.

This qiē is all for Titania, he is a patriot.

Punishment and death can only stop the cowardly, but not the truly brave.

The door suddenly opened silently, "Are you looking for something?"

Lukan was startled in the nervousness, he quickly turned around, and saw a girl who was usually quite fond of her, he remembered, her name was Agatha, and she seemed to be Cecilia's female disciple, usually innocent and cute.

"There was an intruder today, and the teacher asked me to come here to have a look, and she said that Borok was an old fool. ”

Then she asked a second time, "Are you looking for something?"

"Well, I'm just going to look around. Your teacher is right, there are intruders, you have to be careful, and I'm also worried that something will go wrong here. Lukan shrugged his shoulders as far as he could, trying to make a relaxed and approachable gesture.

At the same time, she thought to herself, did she doubt herself, did she want to make the first move? But if she attacked her, she would not be the opponent of many mages and guards outside here, and I heard that there were secret guards hidden here to secretly guard. 、

Or take advantage of her unpreparedness, restrain her, and then take her hostage?

But what exactly does she doubt she does?

Restrain her and keep looking for what she wants?

All kinds of thoughts were churning in Lukan's heart, but on the surface they were as usual.

"Actually, I have something I want to show you. Agatha said suddenly.

"Something?" Lu was stunned.

"Of course, haven't you been looking for it?" Agatha innocently pulled out a gun from under her robe.

The muzzle of the gun glowed.

"The Source Gun with high-level spell effects and successful miniaturization, this is what you're looking for, right?" (To be continued......)
