Chapter 565: Infiltrate
Gondor was very efficient in his work, and he had already left what he was doing and returned to the castle while he was talking. He actually had nothing important at hand, just wanted to steal something. Anyway, those treasures are still in their original places, and they are not in a hurry to start in a day or two.
For example, the two golden eggs he gave as gifts before, one came from an ancient tomb, and the other came from the treasure house of a great noble. For him, these things are the same wherever they are placed. They are just temporary storage, it depends on when he wants to steal. Although "Dark Walker" cannot pickpocket, lock and other legendary skills of theft, but only by reaching the peak. With his stealth ability, there is no treasure house in the world that can stop him, it's just a question of how long he has to wait outside the treasure house.
In order to steal the golden egg that was placed in the treasure house of the great noble, he waited outside the treasure house for more than a month before the noble opened the treasure house and took the opportunity to slip in. When the treasury was closed again, he stole something back to the city, carrying it without knowing it. Presumably the aristocrat himself did not know that the golden eggs in the treasure trove were gone. Maybe when he got the news, he might have to think about how to get the two golden eggs of others.
Before supper, Gondor had arrived at Trella. Due to the fact that he was rushing on the road in a weak state, his spirit was a bit poor, and the whole person looked sick. But after a big meal, he was revived with full blood on the spot, and after a little tidying up, the "world's No. 1 sneak master" set off for the resident of the Thracian mission.
The Thracian embassy did not live in the city of Trela, but set up camp in the suburbs near Dongcheng District, and got a large camp. This practice made the Trellans a little embarrassed at first, thinking that it was a distrust of themselves, but when the Thracian knights showed a "storm charge" in the knight competition, everyone understood that it was involved in this kind of competition. A family stunt, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much.
This camp was built very carefully and heavily guarded. If you exaggerate a little, it is very likely that not even a fly can fly in. Since the knight competition, many people have wanted to sneak in to investigate, but not even one person has succeeded.
Those spies who wanted to sneak into it, those with strong skills and clever minds, could still escape before being caught, while those who were not skilled enough or not smart enough, all fell into the camp. The Thracians didn't waste their time doing any kind of torture, but none of the spies they caught were hanged and hanged outside, plus those who had died in traps or battles, there was a small empty space to the east of the camp. On the ground, more than 20 gallows have been erected, and each gallows hangs a corpse.
Among these corpses, there are quite a few famous masters. For example, a famous stalker from the Thieves Guild of Terrala died here. That man is a well-known infiltration expert, and even relying on his reputation alone can deter many opponents, no one would have thought that even he would be planted.
At this moment, Gondor was standing near this small clearing, ignoring the rotten smell, watching the corpses from a distance. Among them, the corpse that had just been hung up today and had not yet begun to rot, especially caught his attention.
('Gray Shadow' Tefana... I can't believe that even he died here! This person should have lived to the end of the battle of the Royal Capital and became the president of the Thieves Guild of Terrera!)
He frowned, a little worried.
The history of this world is already very different from what the travelers are familiar with. He couldn't tell when the separation was good or bad, but he couldn't help but feel the elusive fate rising from the bottom of his heart.
Gondor used the stealth technique to stand in the woods, waiting patiently until the sun set, and then sighed softly. Gondor stepped forward and walked towards the Thracian camp.
After only a few steps, his shadowy figure that was so dim that he was almost invisible completely disappeared, without even a trace of it.
The night is a stalker's paradise, and in the dark, the effect of his stealth skills will be greatly enhanced. More importantly, when the night came, as long as he stood still, unless he was in close contact with the light source, there was no way to find him, whether it was detection skills or prophetic spells.
This is Gondor's biggest trump card, and it is the confidence that he dares to single-handedly break into the embassy of Thrace.
Gondor walked in the camp with very slow and light steps. As he walked, he observed the situation around him, especially the ground, making sure that he stepped on the footsteps of the soldiers with every step. He did not know that the Thracians were in the camp. What kind of traps are arranged inside, but no matter what traps are, they will not trap their own people. As long as you follow the footsteps of the Thracian soldiers, there should be no danger.
After walking for a while, his heart suddenly moved and stopped.
Is it really "as long as you follow the footprints, there is no danger"?
That's all, it's impossible for Tefana to not understand this. Although the famous stealth master does not have legendary skills, the level of stealth skills will definitely not be low. He would actually reveal his secrets. It is absolutely impossible that he was discovered because his stealth skills failed. It could only be that he was caught in a trap!
Gondor himself is not confident that he can escape the trap that can make "grey shadow" trick.
So he stopped and looked more closely.
Soon, he saw something special in the messy footprints.
Those are the footprints left by walking with special soft-soled shoes. Soldiers will never wear such shoes. Only thieves or stalkers need to wear such shoes to eliminate the sound of their footsteps.
Gondor carefully observed the footprints, and while following it from a distance, he sketched the whereabouts of the owner of the footprints in his mind - the infiltrator, like him, stepped on the footprints of the soldiers all the way. He walked smoothly at first, steady and brisk, with the same distance between each step. But when he approached the main tent in the center of the Thracian embassy, his footsteps suddenly became chaotic - which means that he was discovered!
At this moment, Gondor was standing about five or six meters away from where the sneak master was found, frowning and observing the footprints.
After the man's footprints were messed up, he immediately turned around and left without any hesitation. But his footprints only took less than three steps out, and then suddenly disappeared - I don't know if he was caught, or was directly burned to the bone by magic.
Gondor observed it carefully for a long time, and finally saw the clue - a few small glass beads were hidden in some floating soil on the side of the road not far ahead.
He is not a magic expert, and he doesn't know what these small glass beads are for, but he can be sure that as long as he gets close to them, the result will not be any different from the previous sneak master.
(Sure enough!)
The traveler, who was proud of being the best in the world in stealth technology, smiled slightly, without the slightest bit of depression, but a gleam of fighting spirit lit up in his eyes.
(It is such a strong defense that it is worth me to sneak in and spy!)
