Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 106 Devil's Nest

Time passed quickly, and two hours flew by. During this period, Nohir first bought a pair of lightweight boots suitable for sneaking, and then prepared a small bundle of ropes to attach to his belt.

He hung two axes on both sides of his waist, and also hung a medicine belt containing healing potion and gasification body potion. There were also some newly bought gadgets hanging on it. Apart from these, he didn't bring anything else. As for other items, once you put the old cloak on your body, you are completely ready.

Next to him, Ska is also dressed in the same outfit, but what he brings is simpler than Nohir. Apart from the +1 enchanted armor, the clever boots on his feet, and the concealment cloak on his body, he only has the side decorated with The nail shield and that war hammer.

Because the next battle is likely to be in a very narrow area, the huge sword that opens and closes cannot be used in that situation, and it is also very unsuitable for sneaking in, so he simply placed the giant sword directly here.

Ska placed the giant sword in the room, along with all their property, more than 800 gold coins and some silver and copper coins. This was a huge sum of money, and to be honest, it was hard to put so much property there. It's not really safe here.

But so far, they don't have any other hiding places. Nohill can only pray to the Oak Father that the money will still be there when they come back, and hope that they will have enough money to buy a better place after finishing this job. space equipment.

The previous dimensional bag was too troublesome to use. If Nohir wanted to buy a better Howard convenience bag, it would be called useful space equipment.

Nohill and the two entered the upper city again an hour before the city gate closed.

Because of their previous advance reconnaissance, their destination this time was very clear. They walked straight towards the edge of Zhongni Street. Halfway through, they entered the sewer in a remote alley and followed the intricate sewer system. Get to the real destination.

In a sewer less than 500 meters away from Duke Vansample's residence, Nohill was introducing Scar to the general defense force inside.

"The perception ability of this helmet allowed me to confirm that there are a large number of devils in Duke Vansample's house. Based on previous investigations, I speculated that most of them are little devils. These little devils are widely distributed outside the manor and inside the house. Specifically, There are probably more than 30 of them, and this number can be considered very dangerous."

"Such small, flying, invisible, and poisonous little things are not very powerful when picked out alone, but once they swarm, they will become very troublesome. They will swamp us like invisible wasps. If there is no detection With the ability to become invisible, people won’t even notice that these devil’s needles have been placed around their necks.”

"Fortunately, this helmet can sense their location, but the lack of large-scale attack methods is still our Achilles' heel. We can't clean them up quickly, so once these little devils are alerted... believe me, this kind of The level of swarm monsters cannot be solved in a short time with just two axes and a hammer. Fighting with them will alert other guards, which will completely collapse our plan, so we must be careful. .”

Scar also nodded after hearing this. Indeed, this kind of flying swarm monster is difficult to deal with, not to mention that it is poisonous and invisible at the same time. If there is no ability to detect invisibility, just one of them will have it. It could directly kill an unsuspecting powerful warrior, let alone a group of them.

However, what Ska did not notice was that what Nohill said was not that he was completely unable to deal with it. The correct meaning of what he said was that he was unable to eliminate so many little devils in a short time, rather than that he was completely overwhelmed by the little devils. One-sided crushing.

"In addition, there are 12 patrolling human guards in the manor. They are all on the periphery of the manor. These are almost all the defenses on the surface. And underground, to be honest, I am not very clear about the helmet. According to my perception, there are at least five devils underground, and there may be very powerful varieties of these devils, and our search operations are mainly underground, so we must be careful not to make any noise during the search."

Scar has known for a long time that the helmet worn on Nohir's head has the effect of sensing the devil, but he does not know the other effects in detail, so it is not until now that he knows that the helmet cannot sense the devil. type. Scar: "I thought the effect of this helmet would be more powerful, but just being able to sense their position is already very effective. If there are only five devils underground, then this helmet should be able to avoid them." Just drive them.”

Nohir: "Maybe, but you have to know one thing, Scar, sometimes even if you sense danger, you may not be able to avoid it. Just because you see an arrow flying towards you, it doesn't mean you can." Get away."

"We don't know how big the space is in the basement, let alone the specific distribution of the basement. If the underground space is very narrow, we may be forced to face them directly the moment we go down."

"Anyway, I still have to be careful. I will contact my ally when it gets completely dark, and then I will go down to the cellar to explore. After I have at least confirmed the existence of the cellar and that there is no danger around the entrance to the cellar, I will come back to pick you up, and by the way, I need to borrow a concealment cloak while I investigate."

Scar: "I understand."

Scar accepted this arrangement calmly. His more than ten years of combat experience and the loyalty of a paladin allowed him to perfectly control his emotions at this moment. Now he will accept any reasonable offer from Nohir. Arrangement, never say no.

-

The sky soon became completely dark, and the people who did not belong to the upper city area began to consciously walk towards the city gate. The noise of the day passed, and the silence of the night came.

And the originally quiet, even secluded neighborhood of Zhongni Street has become even more deserted. Apart from the occasional footsteps of a group of monitors passing by, there is almost no additional sound.

After waiting for a group of monitors to go away, Nohir deftly pushed open the manhole cover of the sewer. He turned over slightly and crouched down on the street. He gently put the manhole cover back into place silently with his tail and glanced around alertly. After a few glances, he was jumping quickly in the shadows like a black panther moving quietly in the dark.

He soon arrived next to Duke Vansample's manor. With the shelter of the surrounding trees and houses and the concealment cloak on his body, he perfectly avoided the sight of the little devils standing on the commanding heights.

Nohir, who was squatting safely behind the shelter, had already blessed himself with the art of animal communication. He began to make a crisp bird call, which to the ears of people who did not understand animal language was just an ordinary bird song. , but in the ears of other animals, these birdsongs are translated into words that they can fully understand by the animal conversation technique.

"Chirp chirp~ chirp chirp! (I'm here, Shui Shui, don't move for now. I'll explore by myself first. When I need you, you can deliberately make noises to attract the attention of those little devils.)"
