Chapter 297 Cold Rest Castle
Nohir's infiltration operation went smoothly.
Although the city of Stygia is huge and the terrain inside is complicated, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps, in addition to the devil legions fighting outside the city, there are at least 5,000 elite devil soldiers in the city. , more than a dozen different types of devils and yugoloths, and the fortress is full of various magic traps and defense measures, but all of these problems were overcome by Nohir.
‘Thanks to the Crown of Dominance, without its spell effect and sneaking in according to the normal method, only legendary level thieves would be absolutely sure to get in. '
He compressed the crown's sensing range of evil spirits to a range of 100 meters around him. Once a devil entered this range, he would be able to detect it in advance. The reserved space of hundreds of meters gave him enough time to make a decision. Once he sensed a demon approaching, he immediately began to use various methods to avoid encounters with these demons.
By escaping into the etheric plane, turning into a shadow, using the spider's ability to hang in the wall's blind spot, and using the crown's ability to detect thoughts, Nohir learned where there were traps, where a code was needed to pass, and what kind of code it was. .
Under these various means. He encountered almost no accidents. In just two hours, he managed to sneak into [Cold Breath Castle], which is the center of Stygia. The ruler of the entire city, the Ice Demon Grievous 's residence.
Nohir wants to find Haruman, and if he wants to find him in the vast hell, the easiest breakthrough point is the legion composed of Nightmare Demons under his command, and Ge As the city lord of Stygia, a transportation hub, Levos must approve the navigation routes of ships in the city and the deployment of various armies. From this aspect, he is the most suitable person to obtain information. As long as he controls the object with the Crown of Control, Nohir can easily know everything he wants to know.
But now, Nohir, who has arrived at the castle, has given up the idea of capturing him, because based on what he has seen along the way, he found that the ice demon named Gulliver is a bit strong. Beyond his expectations.
According to the information Nohir searched during his infiltration, he knew that this ice demon had ruled the city of Stygia for 600 years. Its own strength was extremely powerful. During these 600 years, In time, he killed all the devils who dared to challenge him, and he had successfully killed a legendary Balor Balrog in the bloody battle of the abyss 20 years ago.
This is an incredible feat, and to be able to do this, Gullivers should have been promoted to a hell fiend long ago. But for some reason, this guy has always maintained the form of an ice demon. He has never He had asked for promotion, but even if his form had not evolved, Nohir would not have any intention of looking down on him.
Considering that this guy has been able to rule the city for such a long time and has brilliant achievements in the past, even Nohill is not sure that he can defeat him in a short time. If it is controlled or subdued, as long as Gullivers discovers it, he will be forced to launch a terrifying escape with countless devils chasing him.
It can only be said that the devil who has the ability to sneak into the lord of a city is really not a target, but it doesn't matter, the main target cannot be achieved, and he also has secondary alternative targets. [Cold Breath Castle] In addition to being the palace of the ruler, it is also responsible for the administrative center of the city of Stygia. In addition to the master Gulliver, there are also many servant devils in the castle. Among these devils, there must be something like a scribe. As long as he finds this kind of devil, or directly finds the archives room, he can also get the information he wants.
Under the castle, Nohir used the crown to find a blind spot where there was no devil. Then he shadowed himself through the belt and entered the castle through the wall.
The moment he entered the castle, he immediately released the small cloth temporarily stored in the space box. As a mini giant space capsule rat, this species native to space has the ability to survive in a vacuum, which ordinary people cannot survive. To Xiaobu, the space box was just a dark and lightless house. However, in order to avoid accidents, Nohir tried not to let it stay in the space box for too long.
Putting the little cloth on his body again and hiding it, he immediately began to carefully explore the castle. This time he shortened the crown's perception range by half. In this way, he could exchange The more sensitive perception also greatly reduces the possibility of being detected by powerful high-level devils.
After that, he continued to find a lone devil according to the old method. This time Nohir did not choose to kill him directly. Instead, he knocked him unconscious and directly controlled it with the crown, and then quickly browsed Check out his relevant memories.
In this way, Nohill successfully obtained the layout information of most of the rooms in the castle, and also successfully learned the location of the archives. After obtaining this key information, he also simply twisted the He only took the devil's neck, leaving room for the control ability of the crown, then stuffed the body into the space box to destroy the corpse, and then walked directly towards the archives room.
As Nohir walked, he sorted out the information he had just obtained from the devil's mind. Because the speed of reading the memory was too fast, he had not yet completely clarified some relevant details. When he sorted out these details, After the clarity, Nohill also got one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
'Bad news, the archives room is only separated from the ice demon's office by a wall. In other words, if you want to sneak in and get the information under normal circumstances, you have to go under the ice demon's nose. Back and forth, but the good news is that the Ice Demon is not in the castle now. The guy left the castle two hours ago and went to the other front line to deal with the battle situation. If you are lucky, this period of time is the best time to obtain information. Good opportunity. '
'But this guy has been out for two hours. If the situation there stabilizes during this period, he will probably come back soon. If he is caught by the returning devil at this time, Stop...I have to act quickly. '
Realizing this, Nohill became bold in his actions instantly. He accelerated his pace of action, quickly arrived at the door of the archives while maintaining concealment, and passed through the crown's door. After knowing that there were three demons inside, he activated the shadowing ability of the belt again, turning it into a black mist that floated into the archives through the gap, and then launched an attack.
