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 the other hand, Brando, Morpheus and Andrigg have improved by leaps and bounds after the battle in the Evergreen Corridor, and have reached the mid-level level of Element 1. Ciel, Medissa and Hipamira were summoned earlier.
Then he went a step further and had the potential to conquer the side of truth.
With such strength, Brando didn't even need to take action against these 'ordinary people'. He walked directly through the garden in the center of the courtyard. For these soldiers, it was just a blur in front of their eyes. If they looked back and saw where there was any trace, they just thought it was...
I was hallucinating.
The avenue in the center of the courtyard leads to the main entrance, and a fountain is built on the square. There are two patrol teams here, and it seems that their strength is higher than that of the city guards outside. Through the other party's clothes, Brando recognized 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 secret sentries, there are no eyes at all. And these few secret sentries cannot monitor the entire man-made maze at all. With such an obvious loophole in the defense line, these people are
Turn a blind eye.
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 giving up. Originally, he came here for this trap this time. If he is lucky, he might be able to take away the bait in the trap and give the Silver Queen a surprise.
.
Of course, although you have to go deep into the wolf's lair, you cannot be unprepared, and your retreat must be arranged. Brando took out a fist-sized gray crystal from the dimensional cave according to the plan, and then handed it to Charles. The latter immediately cast
The spell wrapped up the explosive crystal, and then threw it randomly 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 the Queen's deliberately relaxed precautions saved them a lot of trouble. Originally, Brando thought that they would waste at least a dozen spells here. For this reason, he specially prepared several types of magic potions for Charles to be on guard against things like those in the game.
The embarrassing thing of 'not enough mana'.
Unexpectedly, Ciel had only cast a few spells so far - this also included 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 battle——
Arriving outside the gate of the villa, Brando was once again surprised by the defense force here - there was not a single 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
To Ciel who has civilized elements, he is almost like a toy.
In Warend, wizards who have civilized the elements are called masters, which is an extremely honorable title. It is much more difficult for wizards to civilize the elements than warriors, except for the perverted Buga people. Even the tower wizards have few
A true teacher.
If Ciel returns to Karasu in this capacity, he can easily enter the upper echelons of wizards in the tower and compete for the position of the 'Seven Heads'.
The strength of the master is almost the same as that of ordinary wizards. For ordinary wizards, it takes a lot of effort to break through the enchantment of spells, but for the master, it is just a matter of raising a hand.
Doesn't the Silver Queen think that he doesn't even have a master with enlightened elements around him? In Brando's impression, the Silver Queen is by no means such a mediocre person. It is obvious that the other party is afraid that she will 'retreat from difficulties' and is on guard.
There were enough loopholes in it that in his opinion it was a bit too much.
But Brando also knew that the current suspicion was because he had taken precautions after being reminded by the unknown witch.
If he didn't know anything about it, he might be glad that the manor was poorly defended right now.
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. Save what you can.
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 several maids called to open the door, several 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 true 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 of the same level or even higher 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.
It was inevitable that he couldn't tell the difference, because the other party was actually an old acquaintance of his, and could even be said to be his colleague - the Templar Knight.
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 the imperial army continues to be used, Brando can'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 - although outside
The precautions were too much.
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 scimitar on her fair neck, almost fainting from the fright.
As a result, after some trembling questions and answers, 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, and only a few people - including Her Majesty the Queen - can see her.
As for the 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 Qian at all. He is almost certain that the Scepter of Fire is placed in a room in the central area. As for the scepter mentioned by the maid,
The 'butlers' should be knight commanders in disguise, but I don't know if they are the knight commanders of the Templar Knights or the knight commanders of the Flame Familiar Knights. The difference between them is huge.
Using the sleep spell to put the maid into a dreamless sleep, Ciel turned around and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Of course we are proceeding 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 flame scepter reacts to the soul of Odysseus. But Ciel, Morpheus and the others do not have flame orbs on them. His plan is to lure a few knight captains away by himself, and then let Ciel and the others steal the Fire Orb.
Scepter, and then meet outside the manor, so that when Her Majesty the Queen reacts, she will not be able to decide the battlefield.
Of course, there may be real masters stationed near the room where the Fire Scepter is, but in a three-on-one situation, even the extreme existences Ciel and the others are still capable of fighting. Don't forget Ciel and Morpheus.
In addition to their duties, Si and Andrigg are also planeswalkers, so Brando is extremely assured of 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 state of the Lone Ranger was consistent with his usual state in the game, but it had been a long time since he traveled to this world and had not acted alone.
In his memory, he seemed to always have two subordinates by his side, either the planeswalker's card creature, or his senior sisters Nymesis and Roman.
"That's fine, 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, and 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,
will wake up again.
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 'butlers' in the villa.
According to the maid, a butler named Shelnan lives in the outermost room. On weekdays, he is mainly the one who gives them daily instructions. Although occasionally it is another butler, most of the time it is 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 named Shelnan - or knight, is the one responsible for external affairs among several knight commanders, and may also be the person in charge of peripheral defense. And the so-called lounge, I'm afraid
This is where the knights' temporary command and alarm center are located.
His goal is exactly 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 lower than that of the Side of Truth. Because he is mainly responsible for logistics work in the Knights, he is 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.
, go to bed before the Queen Star rises every 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 full of loopholes. It was better not to use it, so as not to worry about it.
Therefore, every day when the Templar knights below came to report their daily patrols to him, he simply turned a blind eye and did not hear them.
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.
What's more, it's two people together.
Pridian subconsciously reached out for his sword, but before that, a dazzling black brilliance pierced the void.
It is the blade of the Sword of the Earth——

(ps: After being reminded by a book friend, I found that there were bugs in two places. 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 some oversight.
The second one 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 places have been modified, but because Amber has been interrupted in the middle of the update, occasionally I will have problems with the memory of some previous details, resulting in bugs. So here I hope everyone can find bugs. Help me point it out so that I can modify it. The qq below is 982407208. You can indicate the reason for the bug in the book and add me as a friend. I would like to thank reelectanthero and Millennium Dihuangjing for their enthusiastic book friends who helped me find the bug. , and those book friends who helped me summarize the previous information, thank you very much.)
