Chapter 153 152. Night Walk
Night has fallen, and the entire King's Landing, except for a few gold-selling caves where people were having fun all night, has fallen into silence due to the curfew system.
Outside the city, the place reserved as the venue for the martial arts tournament was still brightly lit and bustling.
Vendors are preparing products for the conference and crowds in the next few days, and the people coming out of the city and the petty thieves mixed in are also working all night long.
Lan En overlooked this scene from the high-rise window of the Prime Minister Tower.
He has now taken off his Advanced Bear School armor, as well as the two long swords on his back.
He just wore a tight black leather suit and a hunting knife on his waist.
This equipment is enough for Lan En to fight against the gangsters traveling at night. And facing the heavily armed golden robe?
Lan En really doesn’t think that these guys who follow the patrol route will notice his whereabouts.
"How prepared are you?"
Ed Stark walked to Lan En with a candle and asked softly.
The witcher turned his head slightly to prevent his eyes that shone slightly in the dark from frightening him.
"The map you gave is very clear. It is indeed a city defense map that can only be accessed by the Imperial Council."
Of course, the accuracy of military maps and civilian maps cannot be the same.
According to the Hand of the King, not only is the accuracy different, this map even stipulates that it must be updated every month.
In order to cope with the small changes in shops and landmarks that are constantly happening in King's Landing.
"Sir, Mr. Ed is not worried about whether you remember the way. He is worried about your inability to distinguish the changes in scenery between day and night."
The intelligent voice in your mind is soothing and calm.
The changes in scenery between night and day are huge. Some people can’t even find their way home at night after moving to a new home.
Lan En’s answer was equally calm.
"So, do I need to worry about this?"
Mentos did not respond, but projected a 3D model of King's Landing on the corner of Lan En's retina.
Lan En’s real-time location is clearly marked with a red dot.
"After your [Memory Dive] last night, I also entered the topographic map of King's Landing."
The corner of Lan En's mouth twitched, and he realized why When I woke up today, the pain in my head was worse than before.
"Good job, please remember to notify me in the future."
After communicating with the biological brain in his mind, Lan En nodded towards the Prime Minister beside him, turned around and walked towards the lower level of the Prime Minister Tower.
The density of guards in the Red Fort is very high. After all, the king, prime minister and many dignitaries live here.
But because there is plenty of space, Lan En doesn't even have to hold his breath or crouch and sneak.
He just used his extraordinary senses to know the patrol's movements in advance, and then hid sideways behind a tree on the side of the road.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Red Castle, Lan En's left hand held a handprint.
[Yaksi] Second Company.
Two hazy magical lights were aimed at the heads of the two guards.
The body continues to grow under the catalysis of gene seeds. Lan En estimates that the magic power in his body is enough to cast spells three times in a row.
One of them started to step on the ants passing by without raising their heads.
The other one just leaned on the spear and slept against the wall.
The gate of the castle is usually embedded with a small door that is convenient for a single person to enter and exit. Lann took out the key from the guard's waist, opened the door and inserted it back into the guard.
Lan En quickly got out of the small door.
When they arrived in the urban area of King's Landing, the night patrol team of the golden robes was even more useless.
"Mark a route, Mentos."
Walking in the night, Lan En submitted the task requirements in his mind.
And Mentos completed the task almost instantly.
"Marked, sir." On the map in the corner of the retina, a green line was marked.
Lan En ran in the shadows on the side of the road to prevent himself from being witnessed by nocturnal people who were unaware of him. He soon came to a two-story building.
This is the house Xiu Fu rented in King's Landing. He lives on the second floor and the landlord lives on the first floor.
Lan En looked at the outer structure of the small building, reached out and grabbed the raised masonry structure on the second floor outer wall.
Then with strong arm strength, he jumped to the window with his whole body.
This is another manifestation of the physical abilities of the Space Marines.
If it were Sandor Clegane who came over, it would be impossible for his arm strength to support him to complete such an action under his own weight.
Lan En entered Xiu Fu's room lightly.
As soon as he entered, he found that there were indeed many strange things in this room.
Already knowing that local items may not cause any reaction to the bear head necklace, Lan touched each item one by one in Xiu Fu's room.
Most of them are nothing special, just made into weird shapes.
Or it may be presented as a ‘magic circle’ that knows nothing about it and just looks fresh.
This is normal. After all, it can be seen from the attitude of those gangsters when they talk about Xiu Fu. They don't respect him at all and are unlikely to really send him good things. They are mostly just to defraud him of funds.
But after searching around, Lan En still gained something.
It was a large piece of black bone fragment. The bone contained a high iron content, just like the handle of the dagger on Ed's waist.
That is a piece of dragon bone.
After testing it with magic power, Lan En once again felt the inexhaustible power of growth.
It's the real thing.
In fact, because dragons have lived in King's Landing for hundreds of years, people believe that there will be many dragon-related things in King's Landing.
So the merchants in this city have also developed the technology of forging keels. After all, there are many people who want to buy them, but there are only a limited number of keels.
Putting away the keel, Lan En approached the bedroom and saw the sleeping knight inside.
The former Prime Minister's aide has blond hair and looks like he has slept very poorly.
Lan En walked to the bed and suddenly covered his mouth and nose with his palms. The sudden lack of oxygen woke up the man who had been sleeping restlessly.
And at this moment of panic and confusion, a hazy magical aura enveloped him.
“You are scared now, so you should say anything.”
[Yaxsi Sign] The enhanced fear emotion is very suitable for the current situation.
Xiu Fu lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, making a roaring sound in his throat, but he couldn't shout.
Until Lan En started asking questions.
“Did the former Prime Minister die of natural causes?”
“No, no!”
“Did you kill him? Or was it something else?”
"It's a curse! It must be someone's curse that killed him!"
Lan En's expression didn't change much when he heard something like a 'bad curse' that could make people in this world change their minds.
Because he really knows the existence of evil curses, and even if he wants to, a dean-level archmage will come to explain it to him in person.
But in this world, he did not believe that magic, which was already extremely scarce, would appear by such a coincidence.
"Is that your guess, or is there real evidence? The things in your house are to protect against the so-called 'curse'?"
The fear created in [Yaxi] Under this, Xiu Fu's expression became even more distorted.
