Chapter 995: Assassination Charm
"Damn—"
Speaking of which, it's still nonsense. This can't be considered a success story at all, because there is only one sword god.
Owens' attitude was not so much an explanation as it was a blow to confidence. And what's even more infuriating is that what he said is true.
Damn it!
"So......" Everyone was only immersed in frustration, but Tang En pondered other meanings, and frowned again, "Even if we succeed in infiltrating the temple, as long as we appear on the island and walk around, we will be immediately noticed by the other party?"
That's pretty much what it means. Owens nodded helplessly, "The temple will always be very well defended, in addition to the guards on the enlightened place, the magicians on the island will also release detection magic from time to time, covering the entire island. In this case, even if you can disguise your appearance vividly, you will not be able to hide the difference in the strength attributes in your body...... Of course, if this kind of magic probe is not frequent in normal times, there may be loopholes to exploit. But for now......"
Glancing at Donn, Owens shook his head and sighed, "The intelligence agency that the temple has spent thousands of years building is not to be underestimated. Don, although you are extremely low-key, the temple knows everything about your strength assessment and what kind of combat style you have. They'd definitely guess you'd come to rescue Shavien, so the intensity of the recent exploration of the island must be at the highest level. ”
Since it is the highest level, it is equivalent to being synonymous with no flaws for the roaring behemoth temple association...... Owens didn't say this, for fear of hitting the confidence of Don and the others again, but everyone naturally knew it.
"It's tricky!" Jack sighed. "There's no room for ...... at all."
"Nope. There is still space. Don squinted at the sketchy map on the table. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly poked out and pointed to two places, "Owens, you just said that there are no magic traps under the waters near the banks of the river on both sides?"
"Uh, yes. Owens didn't know why, but he explained it well, "Magic traps can't be seen with the naked eye, and once they are unintentionally triggered. Ordinary people are definitely spared. Therefore, in order to prevent accidental injury, in the small area around the shore of the island and on the shore of the lake opposite, the temple did not place magic traps, in case the unwitting people on the shore and the low-level disciples on the island inadvertently triggered the ......"
After a pause, Owens looked at the map of the island and raised his eyebrows, "You want to start here...... Does it make sense? We can't get close to the islands right now. ”
"Makes sense. Don nodded affirmatively and smiled, "Earlier we were discussing how to sneak into the temple association, now we just need to think about how to cross the middle lake. Come to the safety of the island. That sounds like this...... It's a lot less difficult, isn't it?"
Owens was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. I was just about to open my mouth to say something. Suddenly, a loud laugh came from outside the door, "Haha, that's right! It's worthy of the professional that my grandfather often talked about, it seems that you don't need me to interfere at all, you can do it yourself, Donn." ”
"Philip?"
"Ha, you're finally here. ”
"Didn't you say you only came at night?"
That's right, as he strode closer to the door, he laughed and spoke, not who was Philip? With a sly smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "Oh, don't mention it." I was planning to come at night, so I wouldn't be able to find out. But...... Haha! Who am I, Philip? A few stalkers want to stare me to death, how easy is it!"
"Huh, yes, what do you mean by being dressed as a coachman?"
"Ahem, don't care about these details......"
......
With the complex shape of the capital today, Philip, who has a close relationship with the new aristocratic group, that is, the forces on the side of the second prince, is naturally not much better.
To be practical, that is, he Philip, now that the sword god Wu Ding is not dead, and the family behind him has a prominent position in the empire, it is not easy for the eldest prince to move him no matter how strong he is, otherwise this kid would have been in the capital prison for a long time, how could he still run around in a little disguise like now......
Of course, now the royal capital is still in charge of the prince after all, so even if the background is as good as Philip, it is inevitable that he will be monitored around the clock. That's when Tang En and the others had been in the capital for a day, and he finally had to get out of the air and rush to meet him.
After a little laughter and pleasantries, Owens, who was not familiar with Philip, took the lead and continued to ask: "Even if you know that there are no magic traps placed under the water around the island, there is indeed room for manipulation. But...... How do we get close?"
"Why should we get closer? Wouldn't it be better to let the other person take us straight over?" Philip smiled, his face full of confidence.
"What do you mean, or do you want to use those temples to send people to ships?" Owens frowned and shook his head, "You weren't there just now, I don't know that we have already vetoed this proposal, and it is not feasible...... The temple must be very inspected, and we will not be allowed to disguise ourselves as clergy and get on the ship. ”
"Who said we should disguise the clergy?" Philip first asked rhetorically, then looked at Owens with a slightly stunned expression and chuckled, "I've heard of you, Owens, one of the twelve knights of the temple. You're familiar with the terrain of the temple, the upper floors, and so on, but it's because you're so high that you ignore the small details of the bottom that don't attract attention. ”
"The little details at the bottom? ”
"Logistics. Philip simply threw out the riddle, and then looked at Owens, whose body was shocked, and smiled brightly, "You must know that the clergy are also human beings, and they also want to eat, drink, and wear new clothes, and they also want to live in a new house." So the question is, where does all this food, fabric, building materials, and so on come from? ”
"You mean...... Mixed with those few temple transports loaded with logistics supplies?" Owens suddenly became excited, "Feasible! Absolutely feasible! No matter how strong the temple inspection is, it is impossible to open every package of logistics supplies...... That's right, this plan is absolutely feasible!By the way, which merchant groups are designated by the temple to purchase materials, go and find out......"
"It doesn't need to be that much trouble. Philip interrupted with a wave of his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, "Before all materials are transported to the temple headquarters, they must first pass through an institution of the empire and conduct centralized statistics. Hehe, unfortunately, I still have a bit of a relationship in that institution, and it's not a problem to cram a few people in. ”
That's what the head snake does!
Tang En took a deep breath, but he was not polite, and asked directly, "What is the number and time of the ships transporting materials in the temple?"
"Once a month, the closest time is a week later. ”
"Just this one!" Lan Sha bought a month for Don's rescue operation, and now there is only about half a month left after removing the consumption on the road when he came. That way, it would be impossible for Don to wait for the temple to transport supplies the next month, so that trip in a week was his only chance. There was no choice, so the decision was very decisive!
"Hop on the transport ship and get close to the temple headquarters, launch the water in advance before landing on the island, and dive into the surrounding waters without magic traps......" After a while, Harry quickly picked up a volume of intelligence information, flipped it, found a certain place, and immediately shouted excitedly, "There are many drinking water wells on the island, and there are several ornamental ponds, all of which are living water...... Haha, I knew, I knew it was going to be like this......"
Flailing his arms wildly, Harry's insane gesture didn't frighten everyone. Luke's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood, and hurriedly added: "There are still so many people living there, eating, drinking, and Lazar, it is impossible for the island to be without underground water intake and sewage pipes......
Jack rubbed his palms like a fox jumping into a chicken coop, and quickly picked up the conversation: "So, after we dive into the waters next to the island, as long as we find the exits of these pipes, we can follow the inside of the temple association!"
"That's right, if you are careful, as long as you don't show up on the ground, even those detection spells won't be able to find us. ”
"And, following this huge underground pipe, maybe we'll be lucky enough to get into the Pope's bathroom and kill him with a single sword. Hah-"
......
You say a word, I say a word, but in a short moment, the previous atmosphere of despair and frustration in the hall was instantly swept away, replaced by excitement and throbbing that could not be concealed and could not be concealed!
That's the way an Assassin works!
That's the beauty of assassination!
It's like solving a problem, like guessing a puzzle, it's intoxicating!
Whether it's a seemingly impregnable steel fortress or a seemingly seamless tight guard. As long as a little bit, even a small flaw invisible to the naked eye, falls into the hands of a professional assassin, it is the entry point of a great assassination opportunity, and it is the key winner to click on the surface and then collapse the whole situation!
It's always easier to destroy than to build!
"Thank you. Of course, the actual situation will not be as easy as Harry and they thought, but that doesn't affect Donn's good mood or his thanks to Philip.
Waving his hand modestly, "No." Even without me, you'd definitely be able to think of a way to infiltrate the Temple Headquarters. After a pause, Philip suddenly changed his words and chuckled slyly, "Of course, since you have my help now, then you have to return my favor." ”
"Heh, I know that your kid called me over this time for an impure purpose, it turned out that he was waiting for me here. Tang En smiled, did not hesitate, waved his hand and said, "Tell me what your favor is." ”
"It's simple. Taking a slight breath and leaning closer to Donne's ear, Philip's expression suddenly became extremely fierce, "Kill that guy who eats inside and out!"
"Who?Winsling?" Don reacted instantly, and looked at Philip who nodded with a gloomy face, and his expression couldn't help but become strange, "By the way, how long has it been since you visited your grandfather?"
"I just saw it yesterday...... Uh, why are you asking this?"
Don was speechless.
Seeing this, Philip also reacted, laughed, raised his forehead and shook his head: "Grandfather didn't tell me this, I was worried that he was old, nostalgic, and unbearable." It turned out to be waiting for your kid to come and talk to you...... Ha, that's good, it's good to be ruthless!"
