Act 211 The Flame of Dawn XII

Hanlu Manor has two entrances, front and rear. According to Medphes' investigation, each is guarded by a small team of city guards. However, the long border and iron railings of the manor can only protect ordinary people. Although there are several patrol teams, They are all composed of city guards and have no defensive capabilities at all against opponents in the elemental realm.

On Brando's side, after the battle in the Evergreen Corridor, Morpheus and Andrigo's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and they have reached the middle level of the element level. Ciel, Medissa and Hipamira who were summoned earlier Then he goes a step further and has the faint strength to aspire to the side of truth."

With such strength, Brando didn't even need to take action against these 'ordinary people'. He passed directly through the garden in the center of the courtyard. For these soldiers, it was just a blur in front of their eyes. Looking back to see if there was any trace, just treat it as... I was hallucinating.

The avenue in the center of the courtyard leads to the main entrance, and a fountain is built in the square. There are two patrol teams here. Their strength is higher than that of the city guards outside. Through the other party's clothes, Brando recognizes the other party. They are the Praetorian Guards of Rushta.

But in the gardens on both sides of the fountain, there is a shrub maze on each side. Except for a few hidden sentries, there are no eyes at all. However, these secret sentries could not monitor the entire man-made maze at all. They turned a blind eye to such an obvious loophole in the defense line.

Seeing this scene, Brando couldn't help but believe the words of the unknown witch. The Silver Queen was obviously asking you to enter the urn, for fear that he would not be able to enter the central area of ​​the manor.

However, the other party underestimated him too much. Even if their defenses were doubled, these people might not be able to stop him. Her Majesty the Queen is really petty.

This trap seems to be quite obvious, but Brando has no intention of retreating. Originally, he came here for this trap this time. If you're lucky, you might be able to take away the bait in the trap and give the Silver Queen a surprise.

Of course, even though we have to go deep into the wolf's den, we cannot be unprepared, and our retreat must be arranged. Brando took out a fist-sized gray crystal from the dimensional hole as planned and handed it to Charles. The latter immediately cast a spell to wrap the explosive crystal, then threw it into the bushes.

Next, the group of people continued to move forward under the cover of shrubs, setting up several detonation points along the way. It was not until the last section of the journey that there was no shelter that Ciel cast an invisibility barrier to include everyone.

Her Majesty's deliberate lax defense saved them a lot of trouble. Brando originally thought they would waste at least a dozen spells here. For this reason, he specially prepared several types of magic potions for Ciel to prevent embarrassing things such as "not enough mana" in the game.

Unexpectedly, Ciel has only cast a few spells so far, including the almost effortless guidance marks previously applied to the gray crystal.

As a result, all the previous preparations were in vain.

But this can be considered a good thing for the subsequent battles.

Arriving outside the gate of the villa, Brando was once again surprised by the defensive strength here. There was not even a wizard among the forbidden troops staying here. Although there was a small magic barrier on the door, this kind of thing was not suitable for enlightenment. In terms of elements, Ciel is almost like a toy.

In Warend, wizards who have civilized the elements are called magicians, which is an extremely honorable title. The elements of civilization for wizards are much more difficult than for warriors, except for the perverted Buga people. Even among the tower wizards, there are few true magicians.

If Ciel returns to Karasu in this capacity, he can easily enter the upper echelons of the tower wizards and compete for the position of the 'Seven Heads'.

The power of a magician is almost the same as that of an ordinary wizard. It takes a lot of effort for an ordinary wizard to solve the barrier of breaking the spell, but for a magician it is just a matter of raising a hand.

The Silver Queen doesn't think that he doesn't even have a magician who has enlightened the elements, right? In Brando's impression, the Silver Queen is by no means such a mediocre person. It was obvious that the other party was afraid that he would "coot out of trouble" and left enough loopholes in his defense, so that in his opinion, it was a bit too much and not enough.

But Brando also knew that the current suspicion was because he was reminded by the unknown witch. It was because of precautions in advance.

If he didn't know anything about it, he might be grateful for the simple defense of this manor.

However, since Her Majesty the Queen is so kind, Brando also gave up the idea of ​​​​transmitting directly into the villa through the ability of the law. After all, the more the law points are used, the less they can be saved.

The door of the villa is not always closed, and people dressed as maids and housekeepers come and go from time to time. It seems that the man who is heavily guarded in the manor is not the scepter of fire, but the Countess of Wallach; these idle people are waiting for Brando By chance, when a few maids called to open the door, a few people followed directly in. Ciel didn't even cast any spells, and the so-called magic barrier seemed to be blind, with no reaction at all.

In fact, this is the elemental effect of Ciel, the dismantling of the spell, which is the upper level expression of the law of breaking the law. As long as he can identify the spell, he can dismantle the thread of the law that supports the spell. This is an extremely terrifying situation. His ability directly turned Ciel into a genuine mage killer.

You must know that the law wizard is originally known as the enemy of wizards. Coupled with the ability to dismantle spells, Ciel has basically maintained an undefeated position in legal battles at the same level or even across levels.

Once entering the villa, the defense density suddenly dropped. This is logical. After all, according to the 'setting', the villa is where Qian lives. How could there be such a situation of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry? , is this to guard against foreign enemies or to monitor the countess?

But although the defense density has dropped, the level of defense power has increased a lot. Brando has discovered secret whistles above the element level in the dark several times. Listening to their unique breathing rhythm, Brando can identify the opponent. identity of.

He couldn't help but couldn't tell, because the other person was actually an old acquaintance of his, and could even be said to be his fellow Templar.

Brando himself also has the advancement of the Templar Knights. Naturally, he is very aware of the unique breathing rhythm that these people have developed due to practicing the blood of the Sun. I have to say that Her Majesty the Queen chose these people as a force for internal defense. It is a stroke of genius. . It would be too abrupt if she used the Flame Knights as the weapons here. After all, the Flame Knights are the secret force of the temple and rarely get involved in mundane affairs.

But if you continue to use the Forbidden Forces. Brando couldn't help but doubt the intelligence of Her Majesty the Queen.

Avoiding the sight of these Templar knights, Brando secretly grabbed a tongue. The other person was a maid or a mountain man. This detail made Brando secretly admire that Her Majesty the Queen is still very good at setting up scams despite the external defenses. It's really too much to hide one's ears and steal the bell.

This maid was obviously not someone who knew the inside story. She was frightened half to death by the sudden appearance of Brando and others. Andrrig put the shining machete on her fair neck, almost frightening her to faint.

As a result, after a trembling question and answer, Brando learned from the other party that the villa was divided into two areas, the inside and outside. They, the maids, could only move around in the periphery, while the Countess of Wallachia lived in the central area of ​​the villa. In this room, outsiders are almost never seen. A few fixed people, including Her Majesty the Queen, can see her.

As for others, they have never seen the face of the countess.

This statement confirmed Brando's guess. There is no doubt that the person living in the villa is not Akane at all. He is almost certain that the Scepter of Fire is placed in a room in the central area. As for the 'butlers' the maid mentioned, they should be knights in disguise. Commander, I just don’t know if he is the knight commander of the Templar Knights or the knight commander of the Flame Familiar Knights. The difference between this is huge.

Using the sleep spell to put the maid into a dreamless sleep, Ciel turned around and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Naturally, we will act according to the original plan." Brando used the water pattern of elemental magic to project a simple map based on the information provided by the maid before. This map lacked the environment of the central area, but the periphery was still relatively clear.

He pointed to several of the corridors and said to Charles and others: "We will split up and enter the central area through these corridors. The target has been determined. After that, we will break out separately. We will meet again outside the manor."

Ciel immediately nodded to express his understanding.

Although the main purpose of this battle is to attract the Queen's attention, they do not intend to act foolishly according to each other's arrangements. After all, this is the home court arranged by the Silver Queen, and it is obviously not wise to engage with the Empire here.

Brando has already decided that this time he must let the Silver Queen steal the chicken without losing the rice.

The Fire Scepter reacts to the Spirit of Odysseus. But Ciel and Morpheus did not have the Fire Orbs with them. His plan was to lure away a few knight captains, let Ciel and the others steal the Scepter of Fire, and then meet up outside the manor, waiting until Her Majesty the Queen When she came to her senses, it was no longer up to her to decide the battlefield.

Of course, there may be real masters stationed near the room where the Scepter of Fire is, but in a three-on-one situation, even the extreme existences Ciel and the others are capable of fighting. Don't forget Ciel and Morpheus. In addition to their duties, Si and Andrigg are also planeswalkers, so Brando is extremely relieved about them.

After arranging the task, the three people immediately took the order and left.

After a few people left, Brando found that he was alone again. The Lone Ranger's state was consistent with his usual state in the game, but he had not acted alone for a long time after traveling to this world.

In his memory, he seemed to always have two subordinates with him, either the planeswalker's card creature, or his senior sisters Nymesis and Roman.

"That's good, otherwise I would have almost forgotten the instinct to take risks." Brando shook his head and laughed at himself.

There seemed to be something sprouting in his heart. This long-lost feeling made him feel a little excited. This is the adventurous factor. Although it has been dormant for a long time, it will never disappear. It can even be inherited from generation to generation. Once there is a chance, it will come back again. wake.

For a moment, Brando even had the illusion that he had returned to his heyday again, and everything around him seemed to be back in the dungeons and dungeons of the game era.

Everything is under control.

He walked deeper into the deep corridor. Although the maids in the villa could not see Akane, they more or less had to deal with several 'housekeepers' in the villa.

According to the maid, a butler named Shelnan lived in the outermost room. On weekdays, it was mainly him who gave them daily instructions. Although occasionally it was another butler, most of the time it was this person. Responsible for coordinating the daily life of the manor.

In addition, she also knew that the butlers liked to meet in a small living room on the first floor. According to other servants, it was the butlers' lounge and a restricted area for the servants.

Through these words, Brando can already deduce that the steward or knight named Shelnan is the one responsible for external affairs among several knight commanders, and may also be the person in charge of peripheral defense. And that so-called rest room is probably the temporary command and alarm center of the knights.

His goal is the former.

Brando did not guess wrong. Butler Shelnan's real name is Pridian, and he is a great knight of the Knights of the Flame. His strength is on the lower side of the Truth. Because he is mainly responsible for logistics work in the Knights, he will be involved in this mission. Zhong was responsible for coordinating the daily operations of the manor. At the same time, he was also the person in charge of the outer defense of the entire manor.

On this day, Pridian was notified early that the long-awaited enemy might appear tonight, so he did not go to bed as early as usual that night. As a penance knight, Pridian's schedule was extremely regular, and every day Go to bed before the Snake Queen star rises at night, and get up before the moon sets the next day.

He placed his sword in front of the table, lit a candle, and sat quietly on a chair, waiting for the enemy to appear.

As for the peripheral defense line, he actually never cared about it. Due to Her Majesty the Queen's request, he felt that the peripheral security was simply full of loopholes. He might as well not have it, so as not to be upset by it.

So every day when the Templar knights below came to report to him about their daily patrols, he simply turned a blind eye and didn't hear anything.

It doesn’t matter whether you listen or not.

But it was at this time that he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Twelve seconds have passed since the breathing of the two Templar knights outside the door reached the thirteenth time. Although people's breathing is longer than that of ordinary people after their physical fitness is improved, no one will do it without any reason. Hold your breath.

Not to mention two people together.

Pridian subconsciously reached out for his sword, but before that, a dazzling black brilliance pierced the void.

It's the blade of the Earth Sword

(ps: After being reminded by a book friend, I found that there are two bugs in the previous place. One is the Holy Archangel. In the fifty-fifth scene of Volume 4, he has been transformed into the spell card Vengeance Angel, so when I described it yesterday There was an oversight.

The second is that in Volume 5, Scene 169, Brando has reached the level of the Peak of the Side of Truth after being injured by Bai and fell into coma. I made the mistake of writing it as the Peak of Elements in the two previous places. I'm really sorry.

Now these areas have been modified, but because Amber has been interrupted in the middle, I occasionally have problems with my memory of some previous details, which leads to bugs. So here I hope that everyone can help me point out bugs when they find them so that I can modify them. The qq below is 9824o72o8. You can indicate the reason for the bug in the book and add me as a friend. Thank you again for relethero, Millennium Dihuangjing. I am extremely grateful to the several enthusiastic book friends who helped me find bugs and those who helped me summarize previous materials. ) (To be continued...)
