The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 723 Trap

Lin Tianci is still very lucky, he traveled from the earth and landed in Eastern Shenzhou instead of any other plane.

The characteristics of monks who cultivate both body and mana allow Brother Lin to adapt to a lot of mission environments. Even in the middle of an adventure, he is also a very versatile role.

If he didn't become a monk, but became a mage...

Then forget about sneaking in, it might be more convenient to just blow the entire palace down with a high-level spell.

Practicing Suifengjin gave him flexibility and speed far surpassing those of his peers, especially flexibility.

To him, the city wall more than ten meters high looked like flat ground, and it was not an obstacle at all.

Now he was lying in the shadow of the city wall with the Gecko Wall Swimming Talisman, and not far above his head were guards swinging back and forth with detection staffs.

The detection range of the detection staff is flat, with a cone angle of 20 degrees, and can detect an area up to [-] meters away, and beyond this angle range is the blind area of ​​detection.

He took advantage of this, and when the guards holding torches and staffs turned around slightly, Lin Tianci jumped up and passed through like a bat across the night sky, without arousing the slightest vigilance.

After successfully climbing over the city wall, Lin Tianci supported a wall in the city that looked like a sentry tower, and with the help of talismans, he really climbed up like a gecko.

Being in the shadows, the movements were quick and light. Unless someone shines with a searchlight, it is impossible to see that there are more people there.

Climbing all the way to the top of the sentry tower, Lin Tianci squatted on it, looking down at the structure in the royal city.

——In other words, a leap of faith is even more appropriate.

This royal city is a typical outer circle and inner square. The square is the main body of the castle, and there is a sentry tower at each of the four corners.The round one is of course the city wall, on which there are many soldiers walking back and forth.

In the space between the city wall and the main body of the castle, facilities such as small gardens or practice grounds can be seen.

There are more guards in the city than expected. In about ten seconds, a group of guards holding torches will pass by below. This is not counting secret sentries hiding in the dark.

Lin Tianci looked at the sentry tower for a while, then took out the map drawn by Hetty and thought about it for a while, then climbed down the sentry tower and climbed along the wall to the main body of the castle.

From here, you can see through the window that even in the middle of the night, the castle is still brightly lit, and it will be very difficult to approach with shadows like you would outside.

Lin Tianci picked a window closest to the top floor and got in.

This is a rather luxuriously decorated corridor. The soft red carpet also minimizes the sound of him landing, and the decorative vases, armor and other objects can also provide a temporary shelter.

He quickly glanced left and right, and was about to get up and explore along the corridor when there was a sound of rustling footsteps approaching.Lin Tianci hurriedly exited through the window again, using the effect of the gecko's wall-walking amulet to hang upside down above the window.

Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers came from the left side of the corridor, like patrolling soldiers. Everyone seemed to be casual, and basically put their hands on the hilt of their swords. In case of emergency, they can draw out their weapons to meet the enemy immediately. .

The soldiers passing through the corridor saw the windows open, and immediately became vigilant. With the slight sound of drawing swords out of their sheaths, several guards checked the vicinity of the windows several times.

If it weren't for Lin Tianci's quick flash, they would really have discovered him.

Afterwards, seeing that there was no abnormality, they took the window open as a problem with the wind, closed the window again and started walking again.

Having said that, isn't the defense level of these soldiers too high?Are the quality of the guards so good?
The most difficult thing about defense is not how to arrange it, but to maintain a high degree of nervousness day after day.

Generally speaking, even in the palace, it is impossible for the guards to be so tight every day. After all, people are people, and there will always be times when they relax.

These guards gave Lin Tianci the feeling that they had received news that someone would sneak in, so they looked like they were facing an enemy.

Of course, this guess is not very reliable. After all, the current Taharaka Kingdom is caught in civil strife because of the death of the old king, and several warlords rebelled.

The king's scepter in Lawrence's hand was also something they all longed for. It was really normal for them to worry that other people who were good at stealthy operations would assassinate and rob them.

When the guards walked away, Lin Tianci opened the window again and got in. This time he lowered his body in the direction the guards came from, and walked through the corridor as quickly as possible.

Because the old king Edmund was pulled out by the angry people and beheaded, Lawrence, who put the shit bowl on him, now claims to be the king's agent, and the palace is more convenient to arrange guards. Because of this, he will deal with it when he returns to the city. Official business and so on will also be in the palace, not in his own mansion.

For Brother Lin, the most difficult part of sneaking into the castle was that the corridors were too narrow and there were not many places to hide. He had to take advantage of the monk's keen hearing as much as possible to catch the guards who appeared from the corridor on one side and saw Before, he either climbed out of the window, or hid in an empty room.

This greatly reduces his travel speed.

Another annoying factor is that Lawrence is not easy to find.

Hetty said that Lawrence might be in the old king's office, which was on the top floor of the castle.

But Lin Tianci looked at the series of rooms on the top floor one by one. There were everything from bedrooms to living rooms and offices, but they were all empty.

So Lin, who wasted half an hour from sneaking in, could only turn around and search for the target layer by layer.

This step is even more dangerous than before, because the closer to the inside of the castle, the tighter the defense, and there are no windows leading to the outside. Once Lin Tianci is found, he will be blocked in the corridor.

The most dangerous time was when soldiers came from both sides of the corridor, and there were no rooms around which he could enter. Lin Tianci had to quickly put the decorative armor on himself.

Thanks to this armor being lighter and larger than real armor, otherwise it would be really difficult.

In short, there were no dangers along the way, and his exploration steps went from the top floor to the bottom floor.

With his hands and feet pressed against the ceiling, Brother Lin crawled forward like a real gecko, passed through a ventilation hole, and then his eyes suddenly opened up.

This should be the audience room, the place where the king gave orders and met with ministers in the castle.

Because Lin Tianci didn't take the usual way, he crawled out from the reserved air hole, so he could just see the throne with his back facing him.

Not far behind the throne is actually a secret passage leading to the outside of the castle. There is a mechanism under the red carpet of the throne, through which the entrance can be opened.

At this time, there seemed to be a person sitting on the throne.

The tall backrest blocked most of his body. From Lin's perspective, he could only see the back of his head wearing a golden crown, but he didn't see the shadow of another extremely blue star fragment.

He just sat like this, didn't move much, maybe he fell asleep.

In today's royal city, the old king Edmund has been dead for a long time, and the only one who has the right to wear the crown is the former Prime Minister Lawrence.

Have you found the real master?

Brother Lin is not sure, he has a bad premonition, and usually, his bad premonitions are very accurate.

Lin Tianci decided to believe his own feelings, he hid in the corner of the ceiling, where the shadow created by the light of the chandelier was safe and difficult to be found.

He planned to observe and observe first, if the person on the throne was really Lawrence, he would have a chance to do it.

Be calm and calm, don't act too hastily, Lin Tianci is no longer that fledgling little monk, and has become a lot calmer in doing things.

Time passed minute by minute in this calm, and about 2 minutes later, Lin Tianci heard a very weak sound, so weak that it could be ignored.

It was like the sound of rubbing stones, and the source of the sound came from below.

Not long after, he saw that the red carpet behind the throne was slightly dented, and then a specially painted sharp edge popped out from under the red carpet.

The blade is the size of a dagger, or a short sword. It is not long, but it is extremely sharp. When it cuts the red carpet, it does not make the slightest sound, and it moves very quickly. It cuts a piece of the red carpet in two or three breaths. Irregular round shape.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianci saw a burly man in dark clothes crawling out from the secret passage under the carpet, and he didn't seem to want to hide his appearance. He had a square muscular face and a golden hair At first glance, it looks like Guilie from Street Fighter.

Who is this again?

There should be very few people who know the location of the secret passage. After all, the secret passage was used by the royal family to save their lives, but this strong man sneaked into the castle through the secret passage...

Lin Tianci decided to continue watching.

The man in black quietly inserted the dagger back into his waist, and when he raised his eyes, he also saw the back of the head of the man wearing the crown and sitting on the throne.

There seemed to be a trace of rejoicing in his eyes, and he tiptoed forward two steps, as if confirming the distance between himself and the throne. When there were still about five or six meters left, he leaped forward, and his strong body suddenly jumped. He rushed over, and at the same time, his right hand pointed together, and slapped the back of the throne with a whistling sound.

"Lion Roar!"

Accompanied by this shout, a golden energy burst out from the palm, turning into a three-dimensional pattern of a roaring lion...

Fuck!Why does this painting style become more and more mysterious? !

Lin Tianci complained secretly on the ceiling, but it has to be said that the power of this move is still very strong. The powerful energy directly penetrated the gilded throne, and the delicate backrest was broken into several pieces. Cracking sound.

But it wasn't just the throne that was shattered, it was also the one sitting on the throne...

"Puppet! It's a trick, it's tricked!"

It should be said that it is a dummy made of wood, just put on a cloak, a crown, and a wig, and it is really indistinguishable from the back.

Lin Tianci was right not to act hastily, and since the one who stayed on the throne was actually a puppet, it meant that it was just a decoy.

As for who to seduce...

There was a sound of iron boots running through the corridor, and the strong man who had just screamed that something was wrong saw several gates around him suddenly open, and teams of well-equipped guards appeared behind the gates.

"Sure enough, it's here! Sound the alarm!"

It seemed that Lawrence knew that someone was coming to assassinate him tonight, and he even had a psychological expectation of where the other party would come from.So it was just a coincidence that Brother Lin set up a trap on purpose.
