    Being a guard of the eldest prince is relatively comfortable. You can get more than forty gold coins every month, which is enough to support the whole family.  Moreover, the tasks are not very heavy. The assassins only exist in their fantasies. They only follow the pre-assigned patrol routes for a few hours every day.  The prince also prepares meals and a room to sleep in, which is enough to keep them happy and willing to do their duty.  Tonight, the guards on the night shift carefully patrolled every corner as usual.

    The captain of the guard looked at the previous tree collapse incident and thought it was a disaster caused by strong winds.  So he asked everyone to continue patrolling and wait until early tomorrow morning to clean up the messy scene.  Fortunately, the sound did not alert Prince Hadawa, otherwise the guards would probably be responsible for not taking good care of the trees.

    "Maybe tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun comes out, I will be called to clean up the trees. The beautiful forest farm lady may personally send two more trees to make up for the marks." A guard thought while patrolling. He was wearing fur boots.  This luxury product was given to avoid waking up the eldest prince at night. "Well I must find a chance to strike up a conversation with her then. At least I must find out where she lives, how old she is, and whether she has a husband  ¡­Well¡ª¡ª"

    A sudden blow to the back of the neck is the most standard way for assassins to stun someone.  The guard fell to the ground silently, and was then dragged into a side hall where few people came in. In this small living room used to entertain ordinary guests, four or five guards were already lying in a mess.  This was done to weaken the surveillance of the guards, allowing for better infiltration.

    Fortunately, the guards at Hadawa often have to work for several hours before changing.  In these few hours, not many people would care about the sudden disappearance of the guard, and even if they did, it would be impossible to really look for him.

    In addition, the members of the Bloody Dagger Brotherhood have their own creed and will not kill casually.  Most of the time, they choose to stun rather than kill.  Their character and temperament are better than other killers, and they are dedicated to their tasks.  Not to kill innocent people indiscriminately is their highest doctrine when conducting tasks, and they will never violate it.

    The next group of guards who came over was difficult to deal with. There were eight of them, divided into two teams on both sides of the aisle, holding weapons and walking forward seriously.  Everyone has the strength of Qinghui. These people are Hadawa's personal guards. They all have outstanding swordsmanship and infinite loyalty to the great prince himself.

    Jestang stretched out his finger and made an "eight" sign, and then a "five" sign.  That means eight people about the size of Qinghui.  Assassins can judge the strength and quantity of their opponents through subtle sounds, vibrations in the air, and even the wind when breathing.  Others, however, do not have such ability.  If a druid advances to the blue emblem, he can also use the reminders of wind, air and earth to detect everything around him. This skill is far beyond the reach of others.

    As if blown by the wind, the door to the side hall opened by itself, making a creaking sound as the door shaft turned.  The eight guards immediately turned around and walked to the side hall.  Their expressions changed slightly, and there were several unconscious guards lying in the side hall which meant intruders.

    When they were about to warn others, everyone had a weapon around their necks.

    "You would have cut our throats before we started shouting, right." A guard whispered, "But the eight of us roared at the same time without warning. You shouldn't have that kind of reaction."

    "Do you have the courage to give up your life?" The table said indifferently, "Yes, I have no objection."

    "I have had this awareness for a long time." Another guard said tenaciously, "Hadawa promised us gold coins and care for our families. Once we sacrifice, the eldest prince will give our families the treatment of martyrs' families, as well as a  Big compensation.¡±

    "I don't think a family that has lost its father and brother will be so happy." Jessdown said sinisterly, "Maybe the wife will remarry, maybe the child will have a stepfather, and the compensation will be paid to others in a few days.  People took it away.¡±

    The guards' expressions were a little unnatural, and Jest's words directly pierced the most worrying part of their hearts.  Yes, after you die, what will happen to the people who are still alive?  Maybe, they won't be remembered at all.  What I cared about and what I pursued suddenly turned into a fleeting bubble

    "Tell us where Count Claudette and Prince Hadawa live. Then, let you go and just let you lie on the ground for more than half an hour, as peacefully as sleeping." Volanna said softly,  Like whispers of temptation to sin.

    "I don't know." One of the guards said, "This is the truth. We only know that His Royal Highness lives in the big tower in the center of the manor, but we don't know which floor or which room. IWe do not have permission to enter that tower, and the protective power there is ten times greater than here. Even if you can determine the location of the prince and earl through some details, you will not be able to break through the many defense lines.  "

    "That's enough." Ralof muttered, believing they were telling the truth.

    Soon, these guards were knocked unconscious one by one, and it was impossible to affect their actions tonight.  The next action plan is what they need to discuss now.  The large tower in the center has ten times the defense power of other areas There may be powerful forces at the blue emblem level, or there may be purple emblem level forces, it's impossible to say.  However, this reason cannot be a stumbling block at all.  Once tonight's operation fails, Larov will have no way out.  Hadawa had so much more than him. Even if there was only a slight chance, the second prince would rush into it like a moth to a flame.

    "Push the enemy's horses to places where they won't affect the knights." Lear lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said.

    "What do you mean?" Bastanay asked in confusion, "What are you metaphorically speaking about?"

    "No matter how strong the defense line is, no matter how vigilant the team is, there can't be no blind spots." Lear looked focused. "The sky, the earth, the front, the back, the left and the right are all opportunities that can be taken advantage of. Yes, they have a team.  We also have powerful force. I heard that the people of the Blood Dagger Brotherhood can use a power called 'Shadow Warrior'. They can copy their own shadow to confuse the enemy. As long as they are used properly, no one will be able to defeat them.  Able to distinguish truth from lies - no matter what tactics the enemy uses."

    "Yes." The table and stool said at the same time.

    "Use it to attract them, and others attack from the ground. Remember? The sewer can lead directly to the inside of the tower - it may be a bit smelly, but we have to endure it." Lear said excitedly, "Jessan, you were there before,  I was once shown a copy of "One Hundred and Fifty Design Drawings of Castles and Manors," and what I remember most clearly is that every manor has a sewer."

    "How to get to the 'sewer'?" Jessdown asked, "The sewers in every manor are buried deep underground."

    "Great goddess of nature, please give me the power to change all things. Now, in my mind, everything will be shaped into the way it should be." Delant raised the branch, and soon, the floor in front of him changed.  , turned into a dark cave, with a staircase leading deep into the ground.  You could tell it went straight to the sewer because a foul smell came out quickly.

    ¡°It¡¯s disgusting just to imagine it.¡± Wolanna frowned.

    "Lingering memories, here I come." Jestang walked down with a painful look on his face.

    "Don't worry." Lear summoned a vine, "Great goddess of nature, please give your loyal servant a huge network of vines to cover everything in front of you." In an instant, the green vine sank into the ground.  When it appeared in front of others, it had already covered the entire underground passage.  Every inch of the earth wall was tightly clung to by dense and tough vines. The filthy things were covered under it, and a considerable part was absorbed by it, and the strong odor disappeared immediately.

    "Let's go down immediately." Roland stepped on the vines, and then strode down.

    So, everyone divided into two groups. The two assassins, Table and Stool, would create noise and use "shadow warriors" to confuse the guards.  Others secretly sneaked into the central tower through the sewers.  With Jesdan's detection, they did not go the wrong way, and their trip was safe and smooth.  These vines are very hard to step on, making it as easy as walking on an ordinary stone path.

    Since the entire sewer is controlled by vines, although the light is not very bright, the place where you enter is still full of green.  Under such green environment, they slowly walked forward for a distance of three hundred meters.  After leaving about this distance from the starting point, they discovered that the originally straight sewer suddenly climbed upwards, probably approaching the tower.  There are no stairs here, so everyone uses vines to climb up slowly, gradually approaching the exit.  These vines are strong enough that they will not be injured if they fall.

    After climbing up a few meters, Roland saw a tic-shaped iron plate. He pushed it open, then jumped out and returned to the ground.  He looked around and realized it was a bathroom.  The large porcelain bathtub, dressing table, and water circulation supply system all mark its role.  In this day and age, a bathroom of this size requires a lot of financial resources.  The best the average person can do is clean themselves with water supplies provided by the government.

    Not to mention anything else, the big bathtub alone costs hundreds of gold coins.  The production technology of porcelain is relatively cumbersome, and the stingy Allied people have always refused to hand over the know-how. As a result, the best porcelain at present is provided by the Allied people.  This is not a big deal. The key point is that the trade route of the Elaide people must first pass through Europa.Continent, and then pass through the Spode Empire.  By the time the porcelain and silk were transported to the Atak Empire, the prices had increased several times.

    "It seems that this is Hadawa's bathroom." Jestang crawled out of the sewer, "We are on the right track."
