Like other nobles living in the town of Tateto, Baron Busby Rupp also has a vast manor by the lake. Brutus and Violet certainly did not enter the manor from the main entrance in a grand manner, but
Sneaked in from a weakly guarded place.
"How long have you been eyeing Baron Roen? You can find such a gap." Brutus looked back at the gap in the manor's stone wall and asked in a low voice.
Verritt looked around, confirmed that there was no one around, and replied: "Actually, I was the one who made this gap."
"magic?"
"Of course, otherwise how can we rely on physical means to alert the enemy?" Violet motioned for Brutus to follow her, "I have been watching here for a long time. The guards of the manor rarely come here to patrol."
"Since you know how to do magic, why bother with this? Why don't you go face to face with Baron Roen?" Brutus pretended not to understand and investigated the information.
Violet looked back at Brutus and shook her head: "Don't be so blunt, but it's not a secret. Using magic requires enough time to prepare the ritual and recite the guidance words."
"Come on, let's climb up."
Brutus looked up at the three-story castle outer wall in front of him, with only a few protrusions for climbing and landing. Then he looked at the shield in his hand, feeling that Violet was joking: "What do you think?
Can I climb up here?"
"Trouble." After thinking for a while, Violet took out a wooden tube, took a sip and handed it to Brutus, "Invisibility potion."
Brutus quickly took it, poured a few drops into his mouth, and sealed it.
Their bodies and the objects in their hands gradually became blurry, but they still left shadows on the ground under the sunlight.
"Try to hide in the shadows and avoid the sight of others. People who drink the same potion don't need to, but it is better to try to avoid each other's sight. The effect of the potion can last for an hour. It is now 2:34 pm
.”
"Let's work separately. After you find a chance to enter, go to the third floor first. Baron Luen is usually in a room on the third floor with the curtains drawn all the time at this time. If you have a chance, take him down directly."
Violet hesitated for a moment, then said to Brutus: "If you judge that you can't fight, you can evacuate here first and wait for the support of the guard camp and citizen soldiers."
After the two separated for a while, Brutus held his shield and waited patiently at the door of the house. Suddenly he seemed to see Juno, who was following a maid to the other side of the building.
"Strange, isn't she supposed to be following the guards in the guard camp to arrest the people who spread the legend of the Blood Moon Werewolf? How did she end up here?" Brutus thought for a moment and decided to follow him to see what was going on.
"You have done a good job, and this is the reward that Baron Rupp promised you." The maid weighed the purse in her hand, and the sound of coins clinking together sounded very beautiful, "I will tell you the information you provided.
Baron, do you have any additional requirements?"
Juno took the purse: "Can I meet Baron Rupp? I also want to dedicate my blood to the Baron's cause and become one of the servants of the Wolf God."
"Of course, this is the treatment that every Wolf God believer can get." The maid smiled and said, "Come with me."
Brutus hid in the shadows, tightened his left hand holding the shield, and kept holding the hilt of the sword that had not been drawn out with his right hand, and then continued to follow the two of them, preparing to find out.
Along the way, he noticed that Juno seemed to be scattering something on his hand. Brutus identified it and found that it was the petals he had seen yesterday, but they were torn into thin strands. If you didn't observe carefully, it would be very easy to see.
Difficult to find.
The maid and Juno came to a lawn. The maid looked around, then squatted down and lifted up a thick wooden board under the turf.
"Come in with me, Baron Rupp is waiting for the arrival of his followers."
Juno glanced into the tunnel and could only see the faint light of fire. Without much hesitation, she walked down first. The maid followed closely behind and covered the thick wooden board again.
Brutus hesitated, thinking about the pros and cons of following him in - if this was a trap, no matter whether Juno and Baron Rupp were together or not, he would probably be attacked or unable to escape in a short time after entering.
Come out.
But if Juno doesn't follow him in, he's putting himself in danger, and he's likely to encounter something unexpected inside.
He asked himself: "Brutus, why are you fighting for someone you have only known for two days and don't even know where you stand?"
"If you enter the wrong place and miss the opportunity, can you take the risk?"
But another voice in his heart told him: "If this is Baron Rupp's real hiding place, you might just have a chance of winning if you just rush in."
"Don't always imagine others to be so bad. Isn't Juno leaving clues for you and Violet? This shows that she and you are partners in a united front."
"Let's be direct, as an adult, what choice do you have?" Brutus took a few deep breaths and prepared himself mentally, "rush in and assassinate all the enemies that can be killed before the medicine wears off. Even if it's a head-on attack.
When fighting in low tunnels, you must trust the surprise defense capabilities of the large shield and dagger."
He lifted up the thick wooden board, looked at the stairs in front of him, and stepped into the tunnel step by step.
The tunnel was very dark, and the torches ten meters apart could not provide much light at all. The low tunnel could only accommodate one and a half people to pass through, and Brutus had to bend his body slightly to avoid hitting his head.
This tunnel seemed to go straight to the bottom of the castle at first, but after turning a few turns, Brutus could no longer identify the current direction.
A few drops of water dripped from the top of the tunnel from time to time, and there was a lot of water on the ground in some areas. When encountering water, Brutus would stop to confirm what was happening in front of him, and then continue moving forward.
"It's strange, I'm only less than two minutes late. They can't walk so fast, can they?" Brutus felt more and more something was wrong as he walked further, and he suspected that there was another mystery to this tunnel.
But in the dim environment, he seemed to have no way to confirm his suspicions.
He stopped, let his breathing gradually calm down, and then closed his eyes. After standing for a while, he understood what the problem was.
"The speed of air circulation is wrong." Brutus did not close the thick wooden board at the entrance after he came in. He could feel the air circulation when he first entered the tunnel. But he can still feel it even now, even after walking for a long time.
Couldn't see the exit.
"Unless a super powerful blower is installed to pump air into it all the time, how could it not even change the direction?"
