Chapter 297 Cold Breath Castle
Noshil's infiltration went smoothly.
Although Stygia is huge and the terrain is complicated, with a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, in addition to the demon army fighting outside the city, there are at least 5,000 elite demon soldiers in the city, more than a dozen different types of demons and yugoloths, and the fortress is full of various magic traps and defensive measures, but all these problems were overcome by Noshil.
'Thanks to the Crown of Domination, if it weren't for its spell effect, I'm afraid only legendary thieves would have a sure chance of getting in according to the normal method. '
He compressed the crown's sensing range for demons to a hundred meters around him. Once a demon entered this range, he could detect it in advance. The reserved space of hundreds of meters gave him enough time to react. Once he sensed that a demon was approaching, he immediately began to use various methods to avoid encountering these demons.
Noshir escaped into the etheric plane, turned into a shadow, used the spider's ability to hang in the blind spot of the wall, and used the crown's ability to detect thoughts to know where there were traps, where the code was needed to pass through, and what kind of code it was.
Under these means. He encountered almost no accidents and successfully got to [Cold Breath Castle] in just two hours, which is the center of Stygia City and the residence of the ruler of the entire city, the ice demon Gullivers.
Noshir wanted to find Haruman, and he had to find him in the vast hell. The easiest breakthrough point was the legion of nightmare riders under his command. Gullivers was the lord of Stygia City, a transportation hub. The sailing routes of ships in the city and the mobilization of various troops had to be approved by him. In this respect, he was the most suitable target for intelligence acquisition. As long as he was controlled by the Crown of Domination, Noshir could easily know everything he wanted to know.
But now, Noshiel, who has come to the castle, has given up the idea of capturing him, because according to what he has seen along the way, he found that this ice demon named Gullivers is a little stronger than he expected.
According to the information Noshiel found during the infiltration, he knew that this ice demon had ruled Stygia for 600 years. He was extremely powerful. In these 600 years, he killed all the demons who dared to challenge him, and he had successfully killed a legendary Balor in the bloody battle in the abyss 20 years ago.
This is an incredible feat, and to be able to do this, Gullivers should have been promoted to the Hell Refiner long ago, but for some reason, this guy has always maintained the form of an ice demon and never asked for promotion, but even if the form has not evolved, Noshiel will not have any idea of looking down on him.
Considering that this guy has ruled the city for such a long time and has a brilliant record in the past, even the current Noshir is not sure that he can defeat him in a short time. If he cannot control or subdue him in a short time, as long as he is discovered by Gullivers, he will be forced to launch a shocking escape under the pursuit of countless demons.
It can only be said that the demons who have the ability to become the lord of a city are indeed not to be underestimated, but it doesn’t matter. If the idea of the main target cannot be achieved, he also has secondary alternative targets.
[Cold Breath Castle] In addition to being the ruler’s palace, it also bears the responsibility of the administrative center of Stygia City. In addition to the master Gullivers, there are many servant demons in the castle. Among these demons, there must be positions similar to clerks. As long as he finds this kind of demon, or directly finds the archives, he can also get the information he wants.
Noshir under the castle found a dead corner where there were no demons through the crown, and then used the belt to shadow himself and entered the castle through the wall.
The moment he entered the castle, he immediately released Xiaobu, who was temporarily stored in the space box. As a mini giant space capsule mouse, this species native to space has the ability to survive in a vacuum. The space box where ordinary people cannot survive is just a dark house for Xiaobu. However, in order to avoid accidents, Noshier tried not to let it stay in the space box for too long.
After hiding Xiaobu on his body again, he immediately began to explore the castle carefully. This time he shortened the perception range of the crown by half. This method can exchange for more sensitive perception and greatly reduce the possibility of being detected by powerful high-level demons.
After that, he continued to find a lone demon according to the old method. This time, Noshier did not choose to kill him directly, but knocked him out and controlled him directly with the crown, and then quickly browsed his related memories.
In this way, Noshier successfully obtained the layout information of most rooms in the castle and the location of the archive room. After obtaining these key information, he also broke the devil's neck neatly, leaving space for the crown's control ability, and then stuffed the body into the space box to destroy it, and then walked directly towards the archive room.
Noshier sorted out the information he had just received from the devil's brain while walking. Because the speed of reading memory was too fast, he had not yet completely sorted out some related details. After he sorted out these details clearly, Noshier also came up with one good news and one bad news.
‘Bad news, the archives room is only separated from the ice demon’s office by a wall, which means that if you want to get in and get the information under normal circumstances, you have to walk back and forth under the eyes of the ice demon. But the good news is that the ice demon is not in the castle now. He left the castle two hours ago and went to the other side of the front to deal with the war. If you are lucky, this period of time is the best opportunity to obtain intelligence. ’
‘But this guy has been out for two hours. If the situation over there has stabilized during this period of time, he will probably come back soon. If I am caught by the returning demon at this time... I have to act quickly. ’
Realizing this, Noshier’s actions became bolder in an instant. He accelerated his pace and quickly came to the door of the archives room while keeping hidden. After knowing that there were three evil demons inside through the power of the crown, he activated the shadowing ability of the belt again, turning into a black mist and floating into the archives room from the gap, and then he launched an attack.
