Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 98 Secret Entrance

Nohir immediately focused the crown's ability to sense demons on his perception of the few demons in the basement.

Nohill could feel that the demons were constantly moving, but their thoughts were very calm. Only one or two evil sparks occasionally appeared, but these scattered thoughts could not provide any valuable intelligence. Nohill also It was temporarily impossible to tell from their consciousness whether Tavis was in the basement.

This helmet's ability to sense the thoughts of evil spirits and obtain information from them is best used when facing evil spirits.

After all, if they were observed from a long distance, it would be difficult for them to suddenly think of the topic Nohir wanted in their minds, so in this case, even if their thoughts could be detected, it would be almost impossible to get any useful information.

But if you get close enough, you can easily learn any of their secrets just by asking questions.

After all, even if they don't say anything, as long as they hear the question, the real answer will naturally appear in people's minds. This is the natural reaction of living creatures, even the devil, unless the devil being asked deliberately suppresses himself. thinking, otherwise I will definitely ask the question accurately.

"You said before that there would be guests coming to the manor, so do you remember when the last guest came?"

Shui Shui recalled it again, and then said to him.

"About ten days ago, no, it seems more than ten years ago."

It drifted back into memories, but gave up completely after a while.

"I forgot the specific time. Whose kitten would remember such a thing? The only thing I am sure of is that no one has been here for a long time."

Nohir, who was in the sewer, held his head helplessly and made this move with his tail, but he still wanted to continue asking. After all, this question was still quite important.

"Then do you remember how the last guest was dressed?"

I still have some impressions about this saliva.

"Well...he is dressed very normally, just like the previous guests. He is dressed in fancy clothes, with a mustache and a big hat. He is thin and tall. There is nothing wrong with him."

It does sound in line with the stereotypes of those nobles, but no, that person can't be Tavis, firstly because the time is wrong, and secondly because the dress is wrong.

But Tavis is definitely hiding here, Nohill can guarantee this, but the time he came here should be within the last ten days, or more accurately, it should be a few days ago.

Once the time exceeds half a month, it will not match the time of the Eltoril incident, and the guest he was talking about has obviously timed out, not to mention Tavis, as the former city lord of Eltoril, he was in Identity in this period was so sensitive that it was impossible to arrive without some pretense.

But if Shui Shui has not seen him in the manor, it means that he has not taken the main entrance... Maybe there are other secret entrances to the basement in this manor, or even outside the manor.

correct! Didn't Tails discover a closed passage in the stable before? If that passage is really connected to the basement below the manor.

"Do you know where in this manor you can go underground?"

"underground?"

Shui tilted his head, as if he was confused, but after a while, his ears suddenly twitched, and he said to Nohir as if he remembered something.

"I know this manor very well. I have visited almost every corner of this manor over the past few years, but I have never heard of a basement."

"But if you want to say where there is most likely to be a secret door leading to the basement, it should be in the restaurant next door."

Saliva licked the hair on his body again, and then explained to Nohir.

"My stupid mistress holds a dinner party there every ten days, and no one is allowed to disturb this dinner except the mistress and her three sons, including me."

"The dinner party usually ended before ten o'clock in the evening, when the hostess and her son retired to their respective rooms to rest, but sometimes they stayed in that house all night and did not reappear until the next day. "In the manor." Nohill: "You mean, they sometimes don't go back to the room to rest after the dinner, but go down to the basement through the secret passage hidden in that room?"

Drool: "I'm not sure, because that restaurant was occupied by those little monsters a long time ago. I haven't been in it for a long time, so I can't guarantee it, but that is indeed the most questionable place, isn't it?"

That's true. Otherwise, it's just a restaurant. Why would there be little devils stationed there?

Nohir, who was far away in the sewer, frowned. According to his perception, those little devils were almost always there. If you wanted to go there and go down to the basement, there would almost certainly be a fight, unless...

"...It seems that the order of the search needs to be changed. The best result is that the hidden passage in the stable can really lead directly to the basement. In that case, it will be much more convenient for me, and I can search the most suspicious areas in advance."

"Or maybe that passage is just a dry well, but that doesn't affect anything. I can continue to sneak into the manor according to the previous plan, and now I have saliva as reinforcements in the manor. It just needs to make some noise at night. By attracting the attention of other little devils, I can probably sneak in easily."

Nohir turned his thoughts back and continued talking to the saliva.

"Thank you for the information, it was very helpful."

Shui Shui let out a big yawn, and then said to Nohir.

"It seems you've finished asking. You're welcome. It's been a long time since I've had such a lively chat. I quite enjoy this feeling."

"But if you don't mind, can you tell me now, when will you fulfill your promise to me? You know that freedom is as tempting as the delicious legs of roast pigeon, so please hurry up if you can action."

Tuan Xier couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This kitten was really interesting, and it was really not good for his allies to wait, so he said to it.

"Between the friendship and the trust between us, I can tell you that my partner and I will take action tonight."

Drool: "Tonight? Meow! This action is really fast, great! I seem to have seen freedom and roast pigeon waving to me!"

Shui Shui happily flapped its wings and flew up, circling the room several times. It didn't stop until Nohir called it.

The saliva flew in front of Nohir, as if it was embarrassed by the previous gaffe, it coughed before continuing to speak to Nohir.

"Ahem, but I know it won't be that simple, so what else can I do for our plan before tonight?"

Nohill: "If nothing unexpected happens, we will climb over the wall at the stables. At that time, we may still need your cooperation to attract the attention of those little monsters."

"I will use the chirping of birds as a signal, so if possible I hope you can leave the room before afternoon and come to the courtyard to cooperate with our evening operations."

"If everything goes well, you will be free after today."

Drool: "Meow, I will look forward to it."

Nohir said nothing after hearing this. He directly returned the control of his body to Tails and told him in his mind that its mission was completed. Be careful not to be discovered by other servants and return the way you came.

Tai's original consciousness was nestled in the corner watching the show silently, but suddenly his consciousness returned. He was now facing Shui Shui's face that looked extremely terrifying to him, which made his body start to tremble again.

Tails: "Hello, you, you, you!"

Drool: "? What are you talking about, meow?"
