Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 429 Are you fighting your wits with the air?
More than ten minutes ago, outside Gilaman's mansion.

Tai Long, who had been lurking in the house of a family who hadn't returned home yet, stared at the mansion not far away, lost in thought.

According to the information that General du Cucao received from the Grand Commander, the manor is full of lethal weapons.

Several war masons who tried to sneak in before were stunned by gun barrels that suddenly appeared from nowhere, and then captured by the eldest daughter of Gilaman's family, who is currently a detective.

Not only that, but the craftsman named Li Lin seemed to have invented a mechanical facility capable of remote monitoring, which was somewhat similar to the "detection guard" made by the mage.

With a serious face, Tai Long took out from his pocket a rough topographic map of Gilaman's house that had been sent back by a certain war mason.

This map is not perfect, only the detailed information of the buildings around the manor and the general outline of many missing places in Gilaman's mansion, and the internal structure is not at all.

War masons are the resourceful scouts, engineers, and warriors of Noxus, capable of top-notch blueprints and capable of measuring objects within 10 percent of their size.

But judging from the current blueprints, no war stonemason has been able to completely draw out the blueprints of Gilaman Manor, which is enough to show how difficult this member's family is.

Do not……

To be precise, it should be that the task target Li Lin is difficult to deal with.

Tai Long casually picked up a hard-shell pen on the desk. This is also a new style of pen that Li Linfei promoted after Huang Tengda. It is much more practical than the quill pens used in Piltover and other areas.

He spread the drawings on the wall, which originally had several "forks", mainly concentrated on Gilaman's gate, fence, balconies of the main house and side houses.

These areas were tested by the previous war stonemasons, and the information was added by other people who were supposed to respond.

Originally, the layout of Gilaman Manor was not a secret in the upper class of Piltover, but due to the serious problems of the masons during the two years of war, and the fact that Li Lin returned from Shurima a few days ago, the council immediately announced to rectify the interior, which seemed to be for the sake of Unified forces to deal with the threat of Shurima, along with the unearthing of many hidden war masons.

Now, as long as someone inquires about Gilamann, or other member families, they will be reported to the Piltover police to receive rewards.

No matter what the purpose of the inquirer is, the attitude of the law enforcement officers is to arrest you first. If you are not guilty later, Sergeant Grayson will naturally apologize in person.

After an afternoon of personal investigation, Tai Long found that there were actually many problems in this blueprint.

Not all the places that are first crossed out and marked with danger are hidden weapons, but also cameras that are exposed to the outside world.

Although Tai Long didn't know what it was, he was proficient in black powder and muskets. The "muzzle" of that thing was obviously a piece of glass, how could it be possible to fire ammunition?

He made modifications on it, changing the "cross" where there is a camera into a "circle", and then put new crosses and circles on more than a dozen outer circles, and marked a lot of question marks, which means that there should be danger there.

If it weren't for Li Lin who was still following Katerina and failed to notice this scene, otherwise he would have exclaimed "wizard"!
Tyrone marked almost all the cameras and hidden weapons on the periphery of Gilaman Manor, with only two or three minor omissions.

After finishing all this, he casually threw the pen back on the table, the orientation of the tip and nib of the pen was the same as when he picked it up.

In addition to fighting, Go Lai Wuhen is a compulsory course for an assassin, and it was also taught by Du Kecao himself, so that it can save a lot of follow-up troubles.

Since surrendering to Du Kecao after his defeat in the slums of the Immortal Bastion, the legendary general had taught Talon many subtler things about the Assassin's tricks that he had never learned before.

Even if he didn't carry out the assassination mission, Tai Long was still able to complete all kinds of secret operations to spy on intelligence. He even went into the secret room of the Xiongdu of Demacia without being discovered by anyone.

The goal of the task assigned by Du Kecao this time is to replace the war mason to complete the infiltration of Gilaman Manor, and to obtain as much as possible the blueprint of the mechanical device invented by Li Lin.

Just as Li Lin guessed, Du Kecao didn't trust his daughter at all, so it was naturally impossible to assign important tasks to Katerina. She was just a cover on the surface, and the specific tasks needed to be completed by Tyrone.

Catalina...

Tyrone touched his own bulging waist, where his favorite pocket knife was pinned.

When he heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door and the sound of the door lock turning, he took a deep breath and quickly put away the drawings.

Time to act...

Tai Long jumped out of the open window extremely quickly, grasping the edge of the window with one hand, as fast as a monkey, and climbed to the roof in less than two seconds.

As the owner of the room below murmured in confusion, "Why didn't you close the window?", he looked ahead and tested the current wind direction and speed with the cloth strap tied around his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his direction, quickly took out a small thumb-sized bottle containing almost transparent powder from his pocket, uncorked the bottle and poured it on himself at will.

This is a kind of reflective powder made of special magic material. Sprinkled on the body, it will make people have a temporary "transparent" effect through magic, and it is impossible to see it if you don't pay attention.

This kind of "invisible powder" has a high reputation in the assassin circle, and it often turns some assassins who are in crisis around.

Of course, its price is almost too expensive to be unaffordable for ordinary assassins.

However, Tyrone has the support of the Du Kecao family, so valuable magic items and money are naturally not a problem.

With his body almost transparent, Tai Long quickly jumped to the opposite roof, and passed the eaves lightly and silently.

The place he chose was an area where the distribution of forks and circles seemed to be relatively sparse, which seemed a bit careless.

The invisible powder didn't last long, only about ten seconds, but it wasn't a problem at all for Tyrone, who ranked among the top three assassins in Noxus.

When the invisibility effect was less than a second away, he quickly passed the outermost "checkpoint" and landed silently on a branch with a lush tree crown. Servants sweeping leaves below.

A moment later, when the servant left the tree where he was hiding, he took out another bottle of invisibility powder and poured it on himself. Then he took a deep breath, swift as the wind, and rushed to a bush by the side of the road again, waiting quietly for another Two chattering and laughing servants passed by, then continued to sprint forward silently.

Since the periphery of Gilaman Manor is already dangerous enough, the internal situation is unknown, but according to Li Lin's character according to the information, it is absolutely impossible for him to let some omissions inside.

Tai Long carried 30 bottles of invisibility powder this time, of which 25 bottles were mainly used for him to sneak in, which can last for about five or six minutes without interruption.

Among the other 5 bottles, [-] bottles are used as spares, and [-] bottles must be left for retreating, otherwise those firearms who do not know where to hide will suddenly attack, which is too dangerous.

That is to say, when he used 25 bottles of the invisible powder and he hadn't stolen the blueprint or information of Li Lin's mechanical creation, the mission was declared a failure.

Tai Long's face was stern, and he walked quickly behind every servant, turning into "transparent", every action he made hid himself in the quiet shadow.

The mission to clean up Katerina failed last time. Although Du Kecao didn't say anything, a seed of disappointment had already been planted in his heart.

He did not allow himself to fail a second time.

Bypassing the main house and side houses, Tyrone soon came to the garden behind the manor, where several craftsmen's workshops were located.

Tai Long, who got into the bushes, took a wide look and quickly identified the most luxurious-looking workshop among them. Compared with the description in the written information, it was probably the same as Li Lin's workshop.

It seems that the task of sneaking in is not difficult, but the task of stealing information is not necessarily so.

As the sixth bottle of invisible powder was poured, Tai Long quickly walked around the door and stared at the main entrance of the two cameras to the side wall, and looked up at a window that was open at a height of four or five meters.

With all his strength, he slightly bent his knees, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the window sill with one arm, slipped sideways, and entered the workshop along the gap of the half-open window, then landed steadily below, and quickly hid in a place In the shadow of the workbench, use the corner of your eye to observe the situation inside the house.

There was no light in this workshop, but it did not hinder Tyrone's vision in the slightest.

He quickly caught a glimpse of a set of black and blue battle armor parked in the glass window, and he couldn't help but be delighted.

However, Tai Long had no urge to do so. Instead, he used another bottle of invisibility powder, avoided the mechanical device in the corner of the room, came to the door, held the doorknob and twisted it gently.

However, before he opened the door in front of him, a voice that made his hair stand on end suddenly came from behind the empty space:

"I didn't even open the defensive facilities. It took you so long to get here, isn't your movement too slow? You hide and hide along the way, why don't you just fight wits with the air?"

Terrified, Tai Long tore off his outer coat suddenly, revealing the barbed blade attached to his back with a dark red cloth belt, and flung it back.

But with a few "clinking" noises of metal colliding, his heart sank, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

In the next second, with a soft "buzz", the dark room was instantly illuminated by a blue-white light.

Rao Tai Long couldn't dodge in time, he was hit by the energy light ball head-on in the chest, flew backwards and hit the wall, and passed out.

The lights in the workshop were turned on again, and Li Lin, who had changed his battle armor back into normal clothes, took a few steps and squatted in front of Tai Long who was stunned by the shock bomb, and poked him in the face with his hand.

"I thought how powerful you are, but you are still not as good as Katerina who knows magic."

Afterwards, he disarmed Tai Long. There were more than 30 daggers and throwing knives of different sizes, among which was the "invisibility powder" that could make him invisible.

"Analyzing this component may be useful to us."

Li Lin threw the small bottle in the cloth bag to the floating mechanical assistant who flew over, then grabbed Tai Long by the back of his neck and collar, opened the door and walked out.

Katerina, who was also unconscious, was lying in the middle of the room.
