Sensing the sight behind him, Elena slowly turned around and looked at the girl whose face was red in the moonlight. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Elena was a little nervous. After all, Weiwei had stopped him from cutting his hair short more than once. Now he was holding the hair that should have been waist-length in his hand. He was a little afraid that the other party would blame him for this matter.

"Be careful on the road... on the road."

But what Elena didn't expect was that Weiwei didn't dare to look into his eyes at this moment. She turned her head and covered her red face with her hair, silently praying for Elena.

"Well, I will."

Elena was relieved to get Weiwei's understanding. If he really had to be lectured by Sister Weiwei before leaving, he really didn't know what to do.

Change the blood-stained clothes on his body. If he really wore this outfit to go out, he might be caught by the guards on the road as a suspicious person before he found Stanford's house.

After changing into the black robe that he had prepared a long time ago, Elena walked out of the church with his head down, and his figure soon flowed into the darkness.

He looked up at the moon that was about to set in the sky. There was not much time left before dawn, and he needed to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Stanford's home was at the junction of the South City District and the North City District. It seemed that in order to better observe the situation in the two districts, the other party chose to build a big house here.

Although he always knew that Stanford was a businessman, Elena had never carefully studied what business the other party was in.

The only thing that was clear was that Stanford had a slave trade business, and he was not very clear about the rest.

As a businessman, Stanford did make a lot of money over the years, and the house was built quite large, which was also suitable for him to hide some people who should not be seen in the light.

There was no obstruction from the guards on the road, and Elena successfully arrived at the door of Stanford's house, which was a mansion with a spacious courtyard.

An iron gate blocked Elena's progress. There were even two men guarding the gate outside the iron gate on duty.

The other party had a big knife on his waist. He looked ferocious and didn't look easy to mess with. However, they didn't seem to be very interested in their work. They yawned and looked idle.

Elena would not enter from the front. He carefully observed the situation around him. After confirming that there was no magic ban that would expose his position, he directly climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

The house was big, which was good, but it was difficult to defend. Elena just walked around a little and found a low wall that could be sneaked in.

Elena did not take it lightly after entering the yard. He moved forward carefully and observed the situation around and on the ground as much as possible.

As expected, he found a lot of filament-like things. If he looked carefully, he would find that these silk threads were connected to the bells placed in the dark.

If he accidentally stepped on them or broke them, I am afraid that these bells would ring at the first time, and then the information of the intruder would be passed to everyone in the house.

It was a classic defensive method. Elena had seen similar methods on the battlefield.

The enemy was also a mercenary, but his methods were quite "old", which made Elena feel like he was fighting a hunter.

In fact, the other party was indeed a hunter, but he had to be a mercenary to make a living.

That battle was Elena's victory, but the thrills in it always made him feel scared.

Compared with the experienced mercenary, this level of setting was too childish, too many traps were too obvious, and he didn't understand the principle of integrating into nature at all.

Without being blocked, Elena successfully touched the side of the house, put his ears against the wall to listen to the movement, and could clearly detect signs of activity on the other side of the wall.

After all, they were robbers sent by Stanford. Before the robbers completed their mission and came back, he and his men would not rest so early, which could be said to be quite cautious.

After walking around the house, Elaina found a door with an open window. She took out the rope she carried with her and threw it on the flag rack outside the window.

After fixing it, she pulled it hard and confirmed that it could bear her weight. Then Elaina climbed up along the rope.

She went in through the open window and took a look at the dark room. It seemed to be the room of some servants.

But the servants in the room seemed to have been temporarily evacuated because of Stanford's guilty conscience. It was not difficult to see from the messy appearance of the room that the servants left in a hurry and were almost driven out.

It was because of Thailand's anxiety that the windows were not checked and closed in time.Just vacated the room and left.

This was convenient for Elaina. It was almost impossible to enter from the front, so there was only a small corner like this that no one noticed for him to sneak in.

He continued to listen to the movement against the wall. There was no breath from anyone on the other side of the wall. After confirming that it was correct, Elaina opened the door and came to the corridor.

This is the second floor. Since the servants' rooms are here, this floor is mostly the activity area for the servants, and Stanford's room is mostly upstairs.

After all, in Elaina's opinion, people like Stanford who think they are superior should live in a room higher than these servants.

In addition, if there is an intruder, the higher the floor, the safer it will be. After all, if they really break in from the front, the people on the first floor will suffer, followed by the servants on the second floor who delay time.

Living on the third floor can give people like Stanford more time to consider how to evacuate. Things like family property can only be stored upstairs except in the basement.

Following the corridor to find the stairs to the upper floor, it seemed that the servants had really been driven away. There was no movement on the huge floor.

It would be difficult to maintain such a large house if there were not enough servants. Now that there were no servants, it must be that Stanford drove them away himself.

After all, there were a lot of robbers hiding in the house, and it was not convenient for the servants to stay here. Most of the servants were driven away for this reason.

Elena found the stairs very smoothly, but before he went upstairs, he heard other people talking from above.

The way they spoke was very rude, and they kept discussing the women in a certain custom street and what kind of people were easier to bully.

The most important thing was that the other party mentioned the robbers who went out. So it seemed that this group of people were most likely the companions of the robbers.

Stanford was really timid. He dared to hide the wanted criminals wanted by the Kingdom of Sorens in his home. It would be great if Elena could bring the evidence to the guards in the city. In that case, he would not have to come here to deal with it personally.
