Valeela said in the soul link channel with some headaches: "There are two people hiding on the left and right inside the main entrance of the castle. If we sneak in directly, we will definitely be discovered by one of them because the distance is too close."
"Um……"
Sarlayan raised his head and observed the upper levels of the castle in the Sharp Eyes Academy: "Can it be broken through from above?"
"Yes, but it's not easy either. There are many thieves lurking outside the second and third floors."
Sarlayan smiled and encouraged: "Leave it to you to decide, you are the professional."
Valeela curled her lips in disdain, but a smile flashed across her eyes without realizing it.
"Okay, let me plan it."
After leaving the main entrance to the castle, Sarlayan and Valeela hid in an uninhabited corner.
Valeela was trying to calculate which route would have a higher infiltration success rate, and the bored Sarlayan took the opportunity to learn about the situation from Little Star and Oni who were staying outside the city.
As Sarlayan's various abilities become stronger and stronger, the coverage of the soul link centered on him is gradually expanding.
Sarlayan: "Are there any changes outside? How is the situation on the battlefield?"
Stellagosa blessed her eyes with the farsighted spell, and stood on it to look at the Theater of Death in the distance.
"Not yet, the war is still raging...wait a moment."
Stellagosa's tone suddenly became solemn, and Sarlayan's brows also furrowed.
"What's wrong? Is there an emergency?"
Stella Gosa: "A small group of four scouts have left the battlefield and are heading towards the direction of the Sharp Eye Secret Courtyard at full speed. You should prepare in advance. Maybe this will be an opportunity."
The Academy of Sharp Eyes is rich in scouts and attaches great importance to intelligence warfare. It did not surprise Sarlayan that a scout returned from the front line to report the latest battle situation.
The scouts returning from the front line will definitely attract some people's attention when they enter the city, which will provide an excellent cover for Sharlayan and Valeera's continued infiltration.
After Sarlayan told Valeera the news, Valeera's eyes suddenly lit up while she was thinking hard.
"When I feel sleepy, someone happens to give me a pillow. This is indeed a good opportunity."
"However, we cannot determine which secret sentries will be attracted by the returning scouts. We can only adapt accordingly. You must follow me closely and make sure you don't make any mistakes."
…
On the second floor of Sharp Eye Castle, the office of the Psychic Lord.
The demigod leader of the Sharp-Eyed Academy, Marquis Akalek, was standing in front of the map with empty eyes, lost in thought. Two barons from the Sharp-Eyed Academy were discussing something in a low voice.
"Report! The scouts from the front are back!"
Upon hearing this resounding report, Marquis Akalek immediately returned to his usual dexterity.
"Bring the scouts here."
"yes!"
Valeera and Sarlayan, who were sneaking and waiting outside the gate, tensed up their muscles. The moment the scouts entered the castle in a hurry, Valeera suddenly and boldly stepped in from the main entrance, following closely behind the scouts.
Although Sarlayan was a little surprised by Valeera's choice, he followed Valeera silently into the castle without hesitation.
When passing by the inner gate of the castle, Sarlayan glanced at both sides of the door from the corner of his eye.
'really……'
The secret sentry on the left focused on one of the scouts who had returned from the front line, and a loophole appeared in the originally complete alert.
Valeela took advantage of this momentary gap and slipped into the castle quietly without being noticed by anyone.
The dusty scouts arrived at the door of Marquis Akalek's office without anyone stopping them.
Just as the guard was about to make way to let them in, a steady voice suddenly came from inside the door.
"Wait a moment... my friends who are following me, please show up and see me."
Even though they were separated by a door, Valeera and Sarlayan felt the coldness of being targeted at the same time.
[Holy shit? Is the sharp-eyed Marquis who received the box lunch at the beginning so powerful? 】
[After all, he is also a demigod and an assassin. It is not surprising that he has strong perception ability. 】
[However, in terms of frontal combat effectiveness, he should not be able to compare with those brave and skilled marquises.]
Now that Akalek has discovered it, there is no point in continuing to hide it.
Sarlayan took the lead to calmly release the stealth state. The guards in the lord's office were startled by the sudden appearance of the big black panther in front of them, and subconsciously swung the long sword in their hands.
This hasty attack could not pose any threat to Sarlayan. He deftly jumped back half a step and easily dodged the guard's attack.
Akalek's voice sounded again: "Stop, don't hurt our guests before you figure out the other party's intentions."
The guard quickly retracted his sword and bowed to the room: "Yes! Lord Marquis, this subordinate has overstepped his bounds."
"It's okay, let the guests come in."
"yes."
The humanoid guard wearing a mask turned his head, his eyes still wary, but at least there was no hostility for the time being.
"You two, please come in."
There are dead people from all material worlds in the Shadow Realm. Some of them are races that Sarlayan knows, but most of them are intelligent species that he has never seen before.
After blocking Valeela and entering the Lord's Hall, Sarlayan first saw an intelligent creature with the shape of a spider.
Obviously, this person is not the Marquis of Akalek.
When he realized this, Sarlayan's heart trembled subconsciously: 'I subconsciously ignored the person who should have the strongest sense of existence?'
"Haha~"
Marquis Akalek seemed to be able to see Sarlayan's doubts and uneasiness, and smiled and waved to him.
"I'm here...you seem surprised that you didn't notice me first?"
Following the source of the voice, Sarlayan finally set his sights on Marquis Akalek.
Sarlayan didn't know what race the Marquis of Akalek was, but his body shape looked quite similar to that of a human.
But through the obstruction of the hood, Sarlayan could vaguely see three small gem-like particles on the forehead of Marquis Akalek. His chin was not as round as a human's, but an outward tilt.
Curved acute angle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you don't pay special attention, Sarlayan will always subconsciously draw your attention away from Marquis Akalek.
'Is this his special ability as a demigod? He is indeed very suitable for being a thief.'
Marquis Akalek didn't seem to care that his lair was invaded. His expression still looked calm, and there was even an elusive smile in his eyes.
"I deeply admire the two of you for being able to break through the layers of surveillance at the Sharp Eyes Institute and sneak into my office door. Please take a seat."
As the barrage said, the thinking circuit of the Maldraxxians is inherited from the war master, and they have always adhered to the concept of respecting the strong.
Perhaps out of confidence in his own strength, Marquis Akalek drove away all the guards, leaving only two powerful female guards beside him.
The issue of Akalek's presence attracted most of Sarlayan's attention. After sitting down at the invitation of the other party, Sarlayan turned his attention to the two female thieves who were suspected of being the Baron of the Sharp-Eyed Secret Academy.
One of them is a female Spider-Man that I have seen before. Her appearance looks similar to that of the Nerub and Faldorei.
"Um?"
When Sarlayan turned his gaze to the other person, he unconsciously showed a look of astonishment.
"……Humanity?"
The female human who was being watched by Sarlayan wore a black scarf on her face, and her head was covered by a hood. Only her two eyes were exposed, and her face could not be seen clearly.
But Sarlayan always felt like he had seen her somewhere...or was it her portrait?
"Who are you……"
Valeela looked at the human woman in surprise: "Pasonia Shore from MI7 of the Kingdom of Storm?! How could you..."
"oh?"
Akalek raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the human woman Valeela called Pasonia with interest.
"It seems that you and my new baron are old acquaintances from the same world?"
"Pasonia shouldn't need my introduction, this one..."
Akalek pointed at the female Spider-Man and said, "It's Missoula Blade, a senior baron from the House of Sharp Eyes."
At this time, Sarlayan had already remembered the identity of Pasonia Shore through the barrage, and took a deep look at her.
'I remember the leader of MI7...the original leader Pasonia Shore is already an old woman, right? Can you regain your youth by entering the Shadow Realm after death?'
"so……"
Sarlayan tried to calm down his emotions and asked Marquis Akalek calmly: "Our fellow countryman, Ms. Shore, has taken over the position of Baron Fertima?"
"Fotima, oh my poor Fotima."
Akalek suddenly came on stage, deliberately sighing in an aria-like tone: "I never thought in my wildest dreams that he was actually a spy sent by the Ritual Secret Academy."
"Hmph~"
Baroness Missoula sneered and complained: "My Lord Marquis, your acting skills are too exaggerated."
Pasonia rolled her eyes helplessly: "Let's get back to business."
"Your Majesty the Marquis, these two fellow villagers of mine are both well-known figures in Azeroth. They must have something serious to do when they sneaked into the Sharp Eyes Secret Courtyard. Why don't you first listen to their intentions?"
"All right."
Akalek rubbed his face with his left hand a few times, and the previous smile and exaggeration disappeared, replaced by a chilling indifference.
"As a reward for successfully sneaking into the Sharp Eye Secret Academy, I will give you 1 minute to defend yourself. Don't waste your life."
