There is a row of magic wall lamps with moonstone wicks on the pillars next to the arch of the vestibule corridor. The wall lamps emit a cool halo through the milky white lampshade.

I walked along the shadow of the shrub wall beside the wall, and bypassed the two guards in chain mail, holding swords and shields at the gatehouse, and touched the courtyard along the wall.

When I turned a corner of the wall, there happened to be a wall lamp on the wall above my head. The soft light suddenly shone a phantom on my body, and a slightly dim shadow reflected on the mottled bluestone wall.

I didn't expect to encounter a magic wall lamp at the corner, and my body was exposed to the light, and the "Shadow Cloak" lost its invisibility. Although my body was still in a semi-empty state, the shadow was clearly printed on the stone wall and was discovered by the guards at the door of the corridor.

A sword and shield guard standing in front of the corridor immediately knocked on the wooden shield covered with metal plates on his hand with the hilt of the sword, making a dull crackling sound, reminding the companions opposite to him to wake up.

He pressed his hand on the copper hilt and walked towards me step by step. The chain mail made a slight sound. The steel helmet on the guard's head probably affected his sight. He reached out and straightened his helmet.

I stood stupidly under the wall light and retreated little by little to the shadow next to a square marble column in the corridor. I didn't quickly get into the corridor until my body turned into a black mist again.

The sword and shield guard turned around the corner for a long time, used his long sword to push the bushes and searched back and forth for a long time, but no clues were found.

At this time, his companion stood at the door of the corridor and stared at him nervously. He also held the hilt of the sword tightly in his left hand. As long as there was any movement, he would probably use the bronze hilt of the sword to hit the shield with the long sword, and warn all the guards in the manor.

But when I saw the sword and shield guard struggling in the bushes and the corners for a long time, I found no clues. The two guards gathered together and whispered a few more words, probably because they felt that there might be hallucinations. The two of them were chatting with each other, ready to survive this long night.

Their imperial language is not standard, and they always raise the tone at some complex ends, and some connecting languages ​​are light and fast, probably in a unique dialect in a certain area of ​​Nanfeng. In short, they are very surprised by the way they speak to the imperial capital.

Without getting any useful information from their conversation, I got into the corner from the shadow behind them and prepared to search for the warehouse in the northeast corner of the castle.

Perhaps it was because I brought a cold wind when I was floating in the shadows behind them. When I passed behind them, the two guards touched the back of their necks with their hands, staring at each other with wide eyes. Although they did not warn, the big round shield in their hands was tighter.

...

This manor covers an area of ​​about ten acres. In the imperial capital, one can only be regarded as a luxury house and cannot be called a manor.

Only in the second and third blocks, this kind of Cuifanke-style building will be available. The most typical feature of these buildings is that they have exquisite reliefs and use exaggerated hollow patterns to build walls. In order to make themselves different from the civilian outbreakers, some small noble lords in the imperial capital pursue some extreme aristocratic life, so as to demonstrate that they have a higher taste and style and a stronger artistic atmosphere.

It is precisely because of this that the nobles brought the diverse architectural styles of various regions of the empire to the imperial capital, and formed many beautiful architectural complexes in this prosperous city.

This manor is also a very typical southern architectural style mansion. Although it covers an area of ​​only more than ten acres, the architect has made full use of every inch of space here. There are many rooms in this mansion. It is not easy to find the corpse and tincture oil in this courtyard covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.

So after sneaking into the courtyard, I and Katerina went to search for the whereabouts of the corpse and tinder oil in this manor.

Katerina crawled into this building complex, and disappeared completely from my sight with just a few swings. She was only wearing a sub-dragon-skinned magic pattern, and this light leather armor was pursuing the ultimate magic effect of the "Demon Snake Tooth".

During the production, the leather master designed it completely according to Katerina's figure, and this set of light leather armor was almost like a layer of skin on her body.

When the magic effect on the magic pattern structure is activated, her body will also undergo a certain degree of blurring. If she stands motionlessly in a place with very dark light, she can blend with the surrounding environment, just like a chameleon in a dark forest.

Her movements were as light as a raccoon cat, like a dancer walking in a dark world.

...

The dance party seemed to have just been held in the courtyard. There were a row of long tables on the lawn in the courtyard, and messy silver plates and silver wine glasses were placed on the white tablecloth. The roasted goose on one plate was cut in a mess, leaving only a goose skeleton. Some wine bottles still contain residual wine, and the aroma of food and wine remained in the air.

There are many rooms in the main building of the courtyard with lights. Through the glass windows and gauze curtains, I saw that the room was covered in a silhouette. It seemed that the dance party was still continuing, but the dance place changed from the yard to the living room.

Occasionally, some female figures were exposed in the glass window, and music and laughter were faintly heard. They were wearing graceful dresses and were dancing in the room like colorful butterflies, spinning back and forth with their male dancers.

Some glass windows reflect the overlapping figures of two people, like kissing in front of the window, but the faces are blocked by the gauze curtain, like a stage play without narration or lines.

I don't know if there is the Hazard Marquis in front of these glass windows, but I unexpectedly saw Quentin in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the mansion. He was holding a wine glass and chatting cordially with a noble lady in front of the window.

Not long after, Prince George and a female companion appeared beside Quentin. They had a great time talking. The two female companions in costumes laughed beside them, and they were almost about to stick to them.

There are some patrol guards everywhere in the house. These guards are not ordinary soldiers, and almost all have the strength of a new warrior. I guess these people are members of the Knights of the Kazakhstan brought from the south. It is very likely that the entire Knights of the Marquis of Hazakhstan lived in this manor.

I quietly walked around the northeast corner of the yard, and these guards were very alert. Although no one could see me when I was hiding in the shadows, many guards' keen intuition could always guide them, allowing their eyes to fall frequently behind me.

I originally thought there was a large warehouse in the corner, but I didn't expect it to be a row of stables. The stables were filled with fat and strong war horses. Several grooms used a huge guillotine to chop the forage under the dim light in front of the stables. They mixed some beans and cereal bran into the trough in front of the stables, and fed the war horses more food at midnight, which could quickly replenish the physical strength of these war horses.

Many lords will feed their horses like this only on the eve of their war.

Obviously, this is not the best place to store corpse tincture oil, and even if the corpse tincture oil is placed in a tin bucket, it will emit a faint stench. I didn't smell that smell at all, so I left the stable.

The quality of these grooms is much worse than that of those knights who have a new strength.

I walked through the stables, and some of the war horses in the stables neighed in fear. The grooms just stood up and ran to comfort the war horses in the stables, but no one became alert and allowed me to pass through the stables and walk towards the back house in the courtyard.

...

The summers of the imperial capital are warm and rainy, and it is also located in the basin of the Majaro Crater. Although the overall terrain is very high, it is a low-lying place in the crater basin. Of course, the lowest terrain forms a vast Weiyang Lake.

In order to welcome the arrival of the rainy summer season, each courtyard has a reservoir to prevent floods in the backyard, which are closely connected to the city's sewers.

I touched the backyard of this mansion and found the mark left by Katerina. When I followed the mark, I saw Katerina lurking in the dark in a reservoir.

She was almost integrated with the night, but she could not escape my keen magical perception. Her keen magical perception was like dancing octopus tentacles, constantly exploring the movements around her.

I quietly touched behind her, still in a state of black mist.

Unexpectedly, she noticed something, and her body suddenly tensed, as if the black panther had been hiding from the original hidden position to the back of the low wall, then glanced behind her alertly, of course, she saw nothing. At this time, she relaxed and waved to me quickly in the dark.

A faint stench of corpse drifted in the air. I touched Katerina and recovered from the shadow state.

Seeing that I showed my appearance, Katerina smiled gently at me.

Then we both held our breath at the same time. The two guards passed by the path of the flower bed next to us, and the chain mails on their bodies made crisp and crisp sounds.

I couldn't help but stick it to Katerina's ear and asked her curiously, "How did you find me just now?"

Katerina curled up and asked me to lean over, so that we both hid in the dark shadows.

Her lips were right in front of me, as seductive as two rose petals. She gave me a blank look and did not answer my question. Then she pointed to the entrance of the reservoir in front and said to me in a low voice like a mosquito, "The corpse igneous oil is hidden in the reservoir."

The courtyard and the backyard are also heavily guarded, and there are patrols passing by from time to time next to the reservoir.

Katerina and I took advantage of the time when the guard had just walked over and quietly entered the entrance of the reservoir.

The long winter kept the reservoir dry. Although there had been a few rains in early spring, the reservoir was still dry before the soil moisture was saturated. Caterina and I sneaked into the reservoir, and then we saw buckets of iron oil barrels neatly placed in the reservoir, and many seals on the oil barrels were not opened.

These oil barrels almost filled the entire reservoir. It seemed that these corpse tincture oils were the batches bought from the trader. Katerina and I looked at each other, and then walked along the narrow path reserved between the oil barrels to the innermost side of the reservoir.

I took out the "Hammer of Time and Space Shatterer" from my magical waist bag, quietly opened the portal leading to Xinliu Valley, and carried a bucket of corpse turbulent oil into the portal.

I found several orc warriors guarding the teleportation altar in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley, and told them to move all the corpse and turbulent oil in the reservoir into the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley. Katerina and I were guarding the entrance of the reservoir.

It took almost two quarters of an hour before the orc warriors emptied all the corpse and turmeric oil stored here, and then I and Katerina sneaked out of the courtyard.

...

In the next few days, I would appear on time on the campus of the Royal Academy of Magic every morning. After taking the compulsory courses in the academy, I would run to the headquarters building of the Astrologer Union to help Senior Dylan make the metal rune plate of the mobile magic teleportation array needed on the second teleportation ship.

Senior Dylan has been resentful of the fact that the Prince of Wales did not invite me on board during the last trial voyage, but the person who ordered the construction of these ten mobile teleportation ships was His Majesty Charles, and it was directly issued to the Astrologer Magic Union, which is also the largest engineering project of the Astrologer Union. The union currently devotes almost all resources to ensure that the renovation project can proceed smoothly.

No matter what request Senior Dylan makes, the union will solve it as quickly as possible. Senior Dylan lacks experience in this regard as to how the magic lines between metal rune plates can be perfectly connected, so the Astrologer Union directly wrote an invitation letter to the Imperial Capital Magic Institute, inviting Yekis scholars to participate in the construction of the teleportation ship.

Since the construction of the teleportation ship was filled with the will of His Majesty Charles, the research topic of the "continuous frost rune board" designed by Scholars of Yekis was forced to terminate. At the request of Lord Bruce, Vice President of the Institute of Magic, I came to the Astrologer Union to participate in the design and improvement of the metal rune board of the teleportation ship. So Senior Dylan, Scholars of Yekis, and I got together under such circumstances.

Just two days after Katerina and I stole the tinder oil, a message was finally published in the Imperial Capital Magical Newspaper, which said that the manor of a nobleman in the Imperial Capital was stolen and a large amount of strategic materials disappeared inexplicably. This incident even alarmed the law enforcement group of the Imperial Capital Magical Union.

After a senior magician from the law enforcement organization surveyed the scene, he found that the scene contained a large number of space-based magic elements, so he determined that theft of this strategic material was related to a certain space-based magician. When all the spearheads were pointed at the Astrologer Union, the matter was left unresolved.

Without conclusive evidence, who would be willing to mess with the magicians of the Astrologer Union?

Recently, Prince George and Quentin have rarely appeared in the Royal Academy of Magic. I heard from Senior Vernon that Prince George and Quentin are recently searching for magic herbs and healing potions all over the imperial capital.

Since they were His Highness Charlie and Duke Ryan behind them, it means that the situation in the Amcherado plane and the Warsaw plane is not as optimistic as the people of the imperial capital expected, otherwise there would be no need for these two young people to collect the healing potion all over the world.

Prince George and Quentin came forward to make such a stir in the magic market, which directly increased the price of magic herbs in the imperial capital magic market by three levels in an instant. In order to avoid the embarrassing out-of-stock situation last summer, many magic potion stores also began to secretly stockpile magic herbs.
