Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 93 Food Storage Room

Tails carefully poked his head out from under the door frame. Although what he said before was very arrogant, in fact he was still the cowardly mouse who valued his own life, so he always remembered Nohir's instructions.

After it poked its head out, Nohir didn't feel any strange movement in the little devils. In fact, Nohir had detected the thoughts of the little devils through the crown, and at least two little devils saw the tail.

"Ah, another mouse. If only it could run to the window so I could sting it."

"No mouse, come a bird, come a bird!"

-

"It's safe, Tails. Those little devils won't attack you for now. You can explore the manor freely. Just be careful not to get close to the fountain, trees and windows."

"Don't rush into the house yet. First, walk along the angle of the wall. This way you can survey the terrain and ensure your safety."

"Really? Well, at least it's safer than walking through a human yard in the sun."

The tail was leaning against the wall of the stable and walking eastward. From its perspective, it could clearly see what was in the southwest direction of the entire manor, that is, what was at the main entrance of the manor.

Dozens of tall fountains with gorgeous reliefs are lined up. These fountains are separated in the central courtyard, bounded by the central gate, with half on each side. The watering cans held by children in the reliefs are spraying water, and there are other fountains around the fountains. There are beautiful flower beds and a row of neatly trimmed trees near the stone building.

This stable was also a rectangular building. When Tai followed the wall to the end of the stable and was about to turn left, he suddenly heard the sound of human footsteps.

The fear brought by this sound made it stop immediately, but soon the will to survive took over again, and it began to run quickly towards a big tree at the corner in front. Finally, it was beaten by those humans first. Found the hiding spot before discovery.

Tails curled up his body under the roots of those big trees. He was going to wait for these humans to leave before making any plans. At this time, Nohill also switched his vision to hearing. He had never fully opened up the beast's ability to perceive before. , in order to have the ability to perceive the environment around the body.

Although he didn't hear footsteps like Tails before, Nohill's panic at that moment was completely felt by Nohill, so he immediately switched the mode of action of the spell, and the sounds heard in Tails' ears began to change. It was passed to Nohir's ears without fail.

"This sound is the sound of footsteps. The sound is heavier. It should be male. There are three people in number. They are standing scattered. Is it a patrol team hired by the Duke?"

"It's interesting. There are already little devils guarding the door, but they actually hired human security guards. Are you trying to cover up?"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but when they were approaching the corner, the sound suddenly paused for a moment. This made Nohill's heart a little lifted, and not to mention the tail, through the tail's ears, Nohill You can even hear its heartbeat.

But things did not develop in the worst direction after all. The footsteps stopped for a moment and then started to turn back. These guards did not notice this inconspicuous little uninvited guest.

"I've gone back. Why did I go back here? Is it because of the division of patrol areas?"

"If this is really the case, it means there must be more than just this group of guards in the manor. There may be other guards, but I didn't find them."

"Considering the size of this manor, there may be at least three other groups of guards. I wonder if these guards will patrol at night."

These thoughts flashed through Nohill's mind like lightning, but he soon realized that no matter what the answers to these questions were, it would not affect his infiltration.

Nohill was very confident in his stealth skills, and with the help of the two rare items, it was absolutely impossible for these ordinary soldiers to discover him. The only thing he had to worry about was the sight of those little devils. So next, Nohir needs to carefully explore around the manor, so that he can judge where is the best place to lurk at night.

At this time, Taili also recovered from the frightened state. After confirming that the humans were gone, he immediately ran to the corner of the stone building and completely covered his traces through the dense flowers and plants planted there.

Then Taili's lurking began to become more cautious. During the time in the greenhouse, it could not be seen from the outside. Only after walking a certain distance, Taili would stop somewhere to make sure that there was no one around. After the movement, find a relatively high place to look around, then quickly hide and continue moving towards the next location.

Relying on this method, it only took Taili more than half an hour to explore the general location of the entire manor.

In the entire manor, except for the not too regular stone building in the center, there is only the stable in the northwest corner, which is a barely independent building. Other than that, it can be said to be very empty. The entire manor is designed It was very neat, with almost nothing else visible except for some flower beds, trees and fountains as decorations. And indeed, just as Nohill guessed, there were a total of 12 patrolling guards patrolling the manor, in every direction. There are three.

"It seems that if you want to lurk in at night, you must use the stable as a breakthrough point. I remember that there are only two little devils who can directly observe the stable from that direction. According to the induction of the Crown of Control, one of them is lurking On the west wall, probably by the second-floor window, and the other one should be on top of the fountain.”

"Two, if there are only two, I should be able to kill them in an instant, and then just throw their bodies into the fountain. This will minimize the risk of exposing myself to the smell of blood."

"...I still feel a little unsafe. Forget it, I'll go to the witchcraft grocery store in the afternoon to see if there are any props that can help deal with this situation."

While Nohir was thinking, the tail started to act again. It started looking for a passage that could secretly get into the stone building according to Nohir's previous plan.

In fact, it had already found it, and now it just turned back. The mouse hole that Tai found was on the north side of the manor, under a particularly secret stone brick, and you could follow that road directly to the inside of the stone building.

Tails arrived there quickly, and after crawling in along the hole, he found that the exit of the cave was blocked by a shelf, but the blockage was not very tight, so he crawled hard and finally climbed out.

"Squeak! The mouse must be dreaming! What kind of place is this!"

What appeared in front of the tail was a variety of food. A large plate of sausages hung on the wall like a coiled rope. Dozens of smoked chickens hung on two suspended ropes. A whole pig leg was straight. Placed on the chopping board, several wheel-sized pieces of cheese were stacked side by side on the table in the corner.

Even in the human room where Tails lived when he was young, he had never seen so much food!

"It seems to be a food storage room. It seems that your companions really found a good place to dig holes."

"Squeak, it smells so good. This place is so wonderful! I will live here from now on and won't go anywhere!"

What about your wife and children? Don't you care about them?

Nohir lamented this scum rat in his heart, but at this moment, Tails suddenly spoke to Nohir in his consciousness.

"Squeak, strange, where are the competitors of this rat? Why haven't I seen any rats yet? Not even in the cave just now, and the smell has become very weak. They seem to have disappeared for a long time."

Not a single mouse?

"Be careful, Tails. If this happens, either the cat is really powerful, or the family has other ways to catch mice. Unfortunately, these two possibilities are for you. Either one is deadly.”
