Chapter 89: Shushu, can you help me?
"Kill a bird, kill another bird, and then throw it in front of that stupid cat, and let it be kicked away by the mistress! Hahaha."
"Keep the door, monitor , guarding, watching."
"..."
"It's so boring! It's so boring! Have some fun, Asmodeus, please, have some fun. Go! ”
The fluctuations are different, but the same clear thoughts are transmitted into Nohir's mind. He can clearly feel the thoughts of these devils. Even if some devils are not thinking about anything at all, he can clearly sense their thoughts. Specific location.
The location of these devils is very close to Nohill. Currently, I can only feel the thoughts of four devils fluctuating in the front of the mansion. They are located on the four fountains in the courtyard, but although their locations can be clearly seen, With his senses, he could also see those five- to six-meter-high fountains, but Nohir couldn't see their specific forms. Was he invisible?
“It’s a little devil. This kind of devil is almost at the bottom of hell’s strict class system. It is very small in size, about the size of a 2-3 year old human child. Although its combat power is not high, it is the only one. The only lethal weapon is their scorpion-like tail needles, but the poison of the tail needles is very deadly to ordinary people."
"However, it can only cause temporary damage to melee professionals with a physical attribute of more than 14 points. Sexual paralysis is almost negligible to me."
"This kind of devil is not good at fighting, but it is born with the ability to be invisible, and its intelligence is also very high, normally it has 11. Dot’s intelligence is a bit smarter than that of ordinary humans.”
"Having a little devil with the ability to be invisible as a sentry, I have to say, is indeed a pretty good choice."
Nohill almost instantly judged what he was facing based on the knowledge of monsters in his mind. In the right situation, using little devils for this kind of thing is a natural fit. After all, these little things can only do so much.
However, although these little guys are weak, the trouble is that he really has no way to bypass them now.
"Trouble, with these little guys here, even with a concealment cloak, it's difficult to get around them without alerting them, at least don't even think about the front entrance."
Nohill took another moment to make a discreet circle around the entire Duke Vansample's residence, and finally he completely determined the number of little devils outside.
"There are 16 of them in total. There are four guards on each side. They are hidden on various commanding points, such as window eaves, roofs, branches, and fountains. The sight lines in such places are too wide. It is difficult for me to pass through them secretly. Even if I take advantage of the opportunity, Even if you fly upstairs and slowly descend when it gets dark, you may be discovered.”
“These little devils have a higher level of dark vision than my low-light vision, and I can’t do it even at night. What's the advantage?"
The situation seemed to be deadlocked from the beginning, but for Nohill, there was no solution to this level of problem. He just thought about it for a while and came up with it. Two possible approaches.
The first one is to use the Seven Ring Demonic Complete Control Technique to control two little devils in a certain direction, and then let them use the poisonous needles on their tails to instantly attack the other two uncontrolled devils while invisible. Yes, this will definitely open the passage on one side and allow you to lurk in.
However, it is too wasteful to use the seven-ring spell on the little devil. There must be other more powerful devils in the Duke's Palace. It is best to save this kind of trump card first.
The second is to find a way to find out the internal structure inside. As long as you are familiar with the wiring in the manor, you can at least clearly remember the shelter inside and where you can quickly enter the stone building.
After mastering this information, you only need to wait until the night to move, and let Ska make a little noise outside to attract the attention of those little devils, and you can take this opportunity to quickly cross the courtyard.
He has full confidence that he will never be discovered by those little devils.
Nohir took off the crown. This piece of equipment allows him to sense the location of the devils and spy on their thoughts. However, unless he has completely dominated one of the devils through this crown before, he cannot directly connect with them. vision.
It is a pity. If the function of this piece of equipment is stronger, Nohir can directly connect the vision to the eyes of those little devils, and use this method to observe the specific internal conditions.
But after all, this piece of equipment is not an artifact, and it is impossible to do this. Moreover, it can only control three devils at most. The absolute devil control spell that can be released is only three times a day. He does not intend to waste any precious spell on the little devil. body, so you still have to do this job yourself.
However, due to the restrictions of the high wall, Nohir can only see the inside of the manor through the two-meter-high bottom wall unless he jumps or flies up. But in that case, anyone who is not a fool can see what he is doing. The purpose is not pure. Nohir turned back to the Zhongni District, found a relatively remote street, and after making sure that no one was around, he directly pulled up the sewer manhole cover on the ground and jumped in.
He had previously sensed through his helmet that there were thoughts of other devils under Duke Vansample's mansion, which meant that there was a basement under the Duke's Mansion. For them, For people, it means additional secret passages.
Nohir wanted to see if he could find a way out underground first. If there really was an underground secret passage, then Nohir would not have to bother to explore the situation above and sneak in directly through the secret passage. That’s it.
Thanks to the efforts of House VanSample, Baldur's Gate's sewer system, at least the sewer system in the upper town, has been greatly improved.
I don’t know what the design concept was. The sewer system of Baldur’s Gate was built very huge. If I wanted to use an analogy, it was more like the subway in his previous life. The sewage was like a river in the middle. It flows through, and there are huge sidewalks on both sides of the river that are specially reserved, enough for five people to walk side by side.
The moment Nohir jumped down, he also restored the manhole cover to its original position. With his wings and the clever boots under his feet, he did not make any movement. He rested here quite neatly like a ghost. In the sewer, he walked quickly in the specific direction he had sensed before.
However, things did not develop as he imagined. Nohir soon came to the end of the road. The neatly laid stone bricks disappeared directly in front of him, and even the sewage pipes were in front of him. The direction turned to the left, and what appeared in front of him was a large and complete rock formation.
"What's going on? This should be the direction the crown sensed, but what's going on with this rock formation?"
"There is actually a large piece of bedrock underneath the Duke's mansion? Are you kidding me? Instead of flushing their shit into the sewer, do they have to hire porters to pick it out?"
Nohill doesn't believe in evil. He moved closer to check. To prevent it from being a real illusion, he took off his gloves and touched the rock formation with his own hands. However, no matter how much he didn't believe it, the real touch told Nohir that he was facing a large rock.
"What a ghost. It stands to reason that the crown's induction cannot be wrong. There should be at least a space in front of me. Unless magic is used, who can be in a whole piece of rock..."
"Magic?"
Nohir once again put on the Crown of Control and felt it carefully. With the super perception ability brought by this legendary equipment, he once again felt that there was indeed something behind this rock. There are several devils whose thoughts are silent, and they feel it more clearly this time. The straight-line distance between these devils and Nohir may not exceed 50 meters.
"Yes, it's definitely magic. It seems that the space outside the basement was completely sealed with stone wall magic. The reason why Duke Vansample did this is probably to prevent those Baal assassins from suddenly turning their backs and directly raiding and assassinating her from the sewers. "
Nohir looked to the left. The sewage next to him was diverted to that direction. The originally spacious sidewalk also disappeared at the corner, and all he could see was the smelly water.
“Maybe there will be some sewage valves reserved by Duke Van Sampur underwater, but if you really have to flow through sewage, the stench of the sewage alone will expose you. This stone block The wall is too thick and it is impossible to break it."
Nohir scratched his head.
"It seems that the method of entering directly through the secret passage has failed. We still have to go up. As for investigating the internal environment, we still have to rely on..."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
A fat mouse suddenly crawled out of the sewage ditch. Unobtrusively, it shook its body to shake off the sewage. It held a fish in its mouth that I couldn't tell what it was before. The stuff was probably food, but it was all in a state of rottenness.
The mouse raised his head and glanced at Nohir, then turned around and ran quickly towards the distance with the unknown object in his mouth.
“Don’t run away, Shushu, come here and help me!”
