Chapter 190 The Security of the Mansion

Tang Zhao has always held a respectful attitude towards all kinds of churches in this world, because he knows very well that he does not understand
But the church can't do without contact right now, and needs to rely on their strength to do things.

The division of good and evil in this world is relatively straightforward. Although the various gods have the color of human heroes, they will still faithfully perform their duties on the whole and will not do that kind of extraordinary things.

Gods like Losander are all firmly on the side of order, and including their followers, they are relatively normal on the whole. At any rate, unlike those Greek gods in the previous life, Tang Zhao is learning about Greek mythology. At that time, the three views were not less affected.

The church of Losander Church looks much more normal overall, just like a normal church. Yintao City is a relatively developed city, and the church is quite magnificent, although it is not as good as the [-]-meter-high Cologne Cathedral in the previous life. Majestic, but exquisite and gorgeous is definitely worthy of the name.

Before she even entered the church to observe carefully, Ningfu was stopped at the door of the church. Several soldiers in heavy armor stopped her at the door with cautious expressions.

It's also normal. Nymph's strength is not particularly strong, and the effect of transformation magic is relatively limited. Now is a special period. The two warriors guarding the gate are very strong. It can be seen that Nymph used transformation magic. They should be more cautious about it It is also a very normal thing.

【Before I left, I gave you a letter. Give that thing to these soldiers, and they will let you go. 】

Nymph nodded, and fumbled out a neatly bound letter from her bosom, which was stamped with the marks of the mayor and the Church of Heim, which was prepared by Tang Zhao before.

The two soldiers looked at the envelope, and one of them took the letter politely with both hands, walked into the church, and soon returned to the two of them, with a much more relaxed and polite expression than before.

"I'm sorry for the rude attitude before. We are also responsible. Please come in. Mr. Dawn, the Lord of Dawn, is waiting for you two."

The Lord of Dawn is a title within Losander. Their priests call themselves Dawnbringers, and Dawnbringers have different ranks. The Lord of Dawn is a relatively high rank among them. Their status is not inferior to that of the bishop, and their strength is also relatively high. Powerful, at least a Tier [-] spellcaster.

Entering the interior of Losander Church from the gate, the scene in the church is quite serious, with a lot of weapons and equipment piled up on the seats on both sides, and there are many priests standing near the altar, wearing rose red or white robes, with golden The fabric decoration does not look very gorgeous, but it gives people a sense of elegance and self-restraint.

"Commander Iniesta has told us about you before, but we didn't know that you were accompanied by a mermaid."

Warriors may be a little less lore and discernment than priests, who have no trouble seeing through the nymph's transfiguration spells and discerning her true identity.

They wouldn't be particularly surprised if Tang Zhao was accompanied by some species from the deep mountains, but the mermaid is a species from the ocean, and has very little connection with life on land. Of course, these priests would be curious.

[Things are more complicated to say, this mermaid is our ally, but she does not represent the will of any mermaid tribe, all actions are just private actions. 】

The leading white-robed priest showed a clear expression: "I understand, I don't know what you want to do, Mr. Carlos, when you come here in person?"

[It's not complicated, let's discuss with you how to deal with the following things. There are demons in the underground of this city, and there are still a lot of Berserkers. If they are not dealt with in time, if they kill the underground, the people on the ground Yintao City may suffer heavy casualties. If they cooperate with the sahuayu outside, they may be able to capture most of Yintao City in one fell swoop, and a large number of civilians will die by then.Before the situation develops to that step, we should respond in time. 】

When it came to business, the faces of these kind middle-aged and elderly people also became serious. They brought Tang Zhao and Ning Fu into a meeting room, and then called several soldiers in heavy armor. They were the guardians of the Losander Church. The teaching army is similar in nature to the Knights under the Church of Helm, and has relatively strong combat effectiveness.

【After my long-term detection, there are berserkers lurking in the underground sewer of Yintao City. They enter the sewer through the water, and then can enter the ground through it. I think that the entrance and exit of the sewer should be blocked first to prevent the other party from entering the complicated sewer. System, otherwise we should attack first and kill the danger in the cradle first. Those sahuagin are lurking outside Yintao City, and they will definitely not have time to support them for a while. It is not that we have no chance.]

Someone had already explained the general situation to them before, and it was not too difficult for Tang Zhao to discuss with them now. Somebody sent a structural map of the sewer and the above ground of Yintao City on the way, and a group of people started to arrange the layout according to the map.

Although Lathander's followers are kind and benevolent, they are not lacking in decisiveness. They know what is the most suitable thing to do at this time—they can't delay in facing the demons, the sooner the better, otherwise the number of demons will increase.

At this time, the benefits of having Nymph by the side came to the fore. They didn't understand the sea, so they wanted to arrange an operation by the sea, so they had to ask the mermaids for their opinions. Finally, it was agreed that the mermaids would bring the warships to the sea. Guard near the entrance and exit of the sewer, and let the mermaids teach various methods of targeting the sahuagin. They have been fighting various mermaids in the sea for a long time, and they are experienced in this.

[Leave the coordination work to someone else, and I will ask the experienced dwarf officer under my command to sit in and offer some necessary opinions by the way.It shouldn’t be difficult for the Church of Helm and the city councilor to deal with it. It’s up to you to discuss it. In the end, I’ll just know the result and make sure nothing goes wrong.I'm going to inform Earl Sterling. After all, Silver Wave City is the territory of the Sterling family. At the same time, they are allowed to keep a strong guard, which should be useful in the next operation. 】

As soon as this remark came out, several younger priests and soldiers frowned. After all, in their minds, the reputation of the Sterling family was really not very good, and some of their colleagues even died in the same place. In the battle of the demons summoned by the Tring family, they didn't like this family, and some were only wary.

But the leading Lord of Dawn did not refuse, and his expression was as usual: "No problem, the Barnard family is still trustworthy, but you have to be careful, there are not only the Barnard family in that mansion, but also many former Sterling families. Many people live in it, and many of them do not recognize the status of the Barnard family. At the same time, I have reason to suspect that there are still demon believers among those people who have not been cleaned up. It became very difficult."

The Losander Church did not come here rashly, obviously the leader had done his homework.
-
Late that night, in a courtyard near Earl Stirling's mansion.

[I hope you can bring me a better result. It would be very troublesome to bring an extra humanoid creature in. 】

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. If you want Barnard to cooperate with your actions, then taking me to see the Barnard family is the best way." Nymph said with confidence, not like a lie.

Seeing that he was so confident in what he said, Tang Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and began to prepare a plan.

What Pastor Dawn said before was indeed reasonable. Tang Zhao didn't intend to enter through the main entrance. There were too many people and he would startle the snake, so he planned to sneak in from somewhere.

Originally, this matter was quite simple, and it was not difficult for him to go in without being discovered, but since Ning Fu wanted to keep up, he should adjust his strategy.

They were followed by several elf rangers, each with an owl squatting on the shoulders of the rangers. As soon as Tang Zhao gave the order, these owls flew out consciously.

The crowd went around to the side of the mansion, where there was a garden, the terrain was complex but not of high importance, and there were not many soldiers guarding and patrolling.

[Repeat, after entering the mansion, including me, do not use psionic energy or magic. There may be high-level demons or powerful demon believers in the mansion. After we use it, we will be easily locked by the other party. Let's put it aside, we must not attract each other's attention.

Because I can't speak with psychic power, Andre will be responsible for leading the team to deal with the subsequent matters, and Ningfu will just follow his arrangement. 】

The leading elf ranger made a gesture to everyone, which was to show Ning Fu his identity.

Afterwards, everyone officially started to act. Andre climbed up the courtyard wall with a hook rope, and then climbed into it. Except for Tang Zhao who climbed up directly with his claws, the rest of the people followed suit.

It is worth mentioning that Ning Fu looks weak and weak, but in fact her skills are not bad, she climbs walls neatly, and it can be seen that she has done similar things.

After entering the courtyard, owls play a role. They act as alarms. Once a patrolling guard approaches, they will make a special call to make the rangers hide, because the plants in the garden are various and very dense. The guards paid no attention to the vegetation, and things went well, and they managed to sneak a good distance.

When building this mansion, the Sterling family didn't think much about the protection of this mansion at all. After all, they didn't live here for a long time. There is no need to fortify a resort mansion.

When this place was being built, only a tall courtyard wall was designed to isolate prying eyes and hinder some thieves. Even if two watchtowers were newly built recently, the effect is still a drop in the bucket, and there are too many blind spots that cannot be taken care of.

For ordinary people, the security work may be good, but for elf rangers, this place is still far worse than the hobgoblin's barracks, and there are loopholes everywhere.

After successfully passing through the garden, several independent buildings appeared in front of Tang Zhao and others, one with five floors and six with three floors.

Taking a brief look at the decoration, it can be regarded as an elegant style, gorgeous but not too vulgar at the same time. It is different from the official residence of Earl Luford.

After all, the latter is considered a newly promoted nobleman. He himself is a very pure businessman, while the Sterling family has a long history of inheritance and was a testable nobleman before the establishment of Oran.

I found out from the mayor before that Earl Barnard usually works in the main building, but his family does not live there, but in a slightly remote courtyard.

The defense system of the entire Earl's Mansion is actually centered on this other courtyard, not the main building that symbolizes the authority of the family.

This shows that they have no sense of security. Tang Zhao has seen many mansions of big families when he traveled before. Indeed, some family patriarchs lived in remote but very safe places. Most of these things happened in war-torn or sensitive times. It is only a last resort to avoid being assassinated or worse.

Losing the cover of the vegetation, coupled with the increasing density of patrols, the difficulty for the group of people to move forward is also increasing, and the speed is getting slower and slower. They were almost spotted several times, but in the end the owl With the help of others, they still managed to get to the vicinity of the other courtyard.

After arriving near the other courtyard, the patrol of the guards disappeared without a trace. It is estimated that the Earl did not want the soldiers to disturb his rest with his family.

There were only two guards standing at the door, and the elf ranger approached them quietly, then held them down, stunned them with drugs, and dragged them aside to hide.

After that, the rangers didn't rush in, but took out a bottle of black powder from their pockets, poured out part of the powder, and threw it into the sky above the courtyard.

Sure enough, the air above twisted for a while, and the formation protecting the courtyard became invalid, and there was no big commotion, and no breath of spiritual energy or magic came out.

This is the powder made from Tang Zhao's scales, and his anti-magic ability has been enhanced. Now even some weak fourth-level magic can be directly nullified. Fortunately, the defensive magic above the other courtyard does not exceed this level.

Worried about the alarm mechanism at the gate, everyone chose to climb the wall with hooks and enter the courtyard.

Cautiously sprinkled a circle of scale powder everywhere, but this time there was no magic, and everyone went straight to the master bedroom.

After exchanging opinions with each other, Andre deliberately made some noises when he opened the door of the master bedroom, waking Earl of Stirling, Erwin Barnard Sterling.

After the count woke up, he had a conditioned reflex to grab the dagger at hand, but Andre stopped him in time. Although he didn't directly control the opponent, he also took the dagger from the opponent's hand.

Before he could speak, the Earl's expression was originally angry and terrified, but after Nymph appeared, his expression quickly changed into a complex emotion of surprise, surprise and worry. It was obviously unexpected that Nymph would appear at this time.

"Is it convenient to talk here? Is there anything like an isolation circle?"
