"Only assassins with special abilities are allowed to enter here. There should be other channels! And..."
Chai Anping frowned: "If you have such an ability that is suitable for sneaking, why do you use such a troublesome method?"
"Gracie, look, this teddy bear is missing an eye."
Lux carefully poked the stuffed bear's somewhat dirty face.
"Um?"
A flash of inspiration suddenly passed through Chai Anping's mind.
"That's it! The assassin's ability to hide and move in the shadow must have some kind of restriction that prevents him from using the shadow to sneak into the castle unscrupulously. Is it something on the owner of the shadow?"
He thought of the wooden board that had obvious traces of man-made damage. Perhaps the damaged part had become a medium for assassins.
"It's very possible, no matter what, this should be some kind of 'beacon' for him."
"If you want to verify it, you only need to search the assassin's body to see if there are any items belonging to Archduke Walsh, but this is actually irrelevant. The top priority is to find the next medium for the assassin to hide. He is most likely the assassin's
accomplice."
He quickly took Lux to continue searching. Lux's ability could determine the approximate location of the next medium, and he could search all the paths after getting close.
"Is this... the power of mysticism?" Chai Anping thought to himself.
When so many guards had nothing to gain, the two of them had used their abilities to find crucial clues, and even discovered a secret room!
Lux's serious expression could not hide her uncontrollable pride.
After crossing half of the castle, under the guidance of the small ball of light, the two successfully opened the stone slab behind an abandoned fireplace.
"There are brand new footprints, and there is more than one person."
Chai Anping looked at the entrance: "Looking at the direction of the footprints, this is probably the passage for their evacuation. There are five different footprints... and some residual magic marks, no!"
Chai Anping looked intently at the top of the empty secret passage, and he grabbed Lux to prevent her from going forward.
"There is a trap here. These people are really careful. Maybe those footprints were left deliberately to attract the attention of the pursuers."
The power of the trap is not small, it is enough to blow up a large section of the tunnel. It would be a fantasy to pursue them at that time, and it can also give them a timely warning.
"And this is a brand new magical ability, at least with completely different properties... I'm afraid it's a big fish.
Your and I's knowledge of magic is... well, we can only be considered half-baked, and I'm afraid we won't be able to solve these troublesome things for a while, so we have to find another way to get there, Your Highness, hold me tight!"
Lux:???
"I mean, let's fly straight over without touching anything in the passage."
Of course, he also had to cover the two of them with layers of concealment potions.
After hearing this, Lux hugged his neck honestly and wrapped her legs around Chai Anping's waist.
Under the weak white light, the girl's cheeks were bright red and her eyes were evasive.
Chai Anping looked away silently, resisting the urge to kiss her, and led Lux through the sensitive magic trap like a breeze.
As he expected, the sensitivity of the magic trap was not high enough to be touched by a breeze. Otherwise, if the passage accidentally collapsed due to external vibrations, the mastermind behind it would have shot himself in the foot.
After successfully passing, the two continued to fly through the secret passage at high speed.
The velvet-like sensory threads were gathered up by him and only extended forward.
"found it."
He whispered.
The two of them "condescended themselves" to search for these war masons in person. Such efficiency is not surprising. It can only be said that this group of people is not very lucky.
"They seem to have discovered us too."
Chai Anping's eyes moved slightly. When Velvet touched the group of people, they obviously speeded up their pace. It seemed that there was also the presence of the Perception Mage - such a team configuration is quite amazing!
"Besides, why do they bring a big box?" he thought to himself.
In order to prevent them from destroying the passage, Chai Anping landed lightly. His whole body speed surged. Lux's exclamation was lost in the sonic boom.
"not good!"
Among the five people, the man with a sinister face suddenly changed his expression.
"The people behind are catching up!"
While the other people were running, they looked vaguely at the leading woman.
She was dressed in civilian clothes, with a devil's mask covering her face.
With her short silver hair paused, she stopped, her ghostly eyes scanning everyone, and finally her eyes fell on the box carried by the last two people.
"Ah--"
"Whoever it is, wouldn't it be a good time to try this weapon in this small space?"
Her voice is very young, and her eyes are cold. If you look at her, you will lower your head involuntarily.
"Kurame? How long until the pursuers are expected to arrive?"
"Black Crow... I'm afraid... within a minute!"
The gloomy middle-aged man felt the message transmitted back by the magic power, and his back was soaked with cold sweat without realizing it: "Danger level: Level 5!"
"What?!"
The eyes of the black crows were condensed. There were six levels of danger to their enemies. Level six was the highest? But that was already a disaster sent by the legendary "gods"? Level five? That was also an inhuman disaster!
"Stop joking, Kurame..."
"I didn't!" Kurame said in a seductive voice, "This has definitely reached level five threat level!"
"I see!"
Black Crow quickly changed his plan: "The 'blasters' stay to delay the pursuers? If necessary, blow up the passage directly, and the others leave at full speed!"
The four of them didn't hesitate at all about the woman's plan. The man who was originally alongside Kurama immediately knelt down and started laying the magic circle on the ground.
One minute was very tight. In this dark and narrow tunnel, Black Crow estimated that they could only run about a thousand meters away. They could only hope that they would have reached a safe distance by then and would not be exploded by the blasters.
Buried underground.
A Demacian with a danger level of five?
Cold Wind City actually has such a trump card... She must pass this information back!
Originally, four of the six people in their group had magical abilities, and they had strange abilities. They were among the most elite war masons in the empire.
One person had already died during the assassination, and now it was necessary to abandon the blaster to buy time for the team to escape.
The woman pursed her lips, her eyes becoming colder and colder.
She is directly subordinate to Commander Swain and is the sharpest knife in the parliament, but she is also powerless when facing a level five disaster.
