Chapter 199 Infiltrate
Through the dark passage, Rhodes came to the closed stone door, pushed the stone door open forcefully, and then walked up the stairs.

Rhodes has no trace of stepping on the snow, and he has reached lv4 unknowingly, otherwise his footsteps will definitely echo in this passage.

Stepping Xue Wuhen is mounted in the skill column, and the way to upgrade is the distance traveled.

Rhodes used to turn on the system boringly during the trip before to see his walking steps today. If his daily walking steps were placed in the previous circle of friends, it would definitely be the most eye-catching one.

Climbing to the top of the stairs, an iron door appeared in front of Rhodes again. Rhodes pushed it first but did not push it open, then pulled it again and then opened it.

Inside is a closed small room with no door, only a ladder hanging on one wall.

Rhodes climbed up the ladder and reached the top of the ladder. There was an iron plate above his head that could be pushed.

He held the ladder with one hand, pressed the other hand on the iron plate, and pushed up hard.

The iron plate seemed to be pressed by some heavy object, and Rhodes tried his best to push it away.

So he grabbed the ladder with both hands, raised his feet and kicked towards the iron plate in an inverted position.

A dull sound sounded, the iron plate was kicked away, Rhodes returned to his normal ladder climbing posture, and got into the entrance above his head.

Rhodes realized that he should have arrived in the cellar where food was stored in the castle, and what was pressed against the iron plate just now was a huge wine barrel.

Now the wine barrel is on the ground, and the red wine is constantly flowing out.

In addition to barrels of wine, bags of grain were piled up around him, and Rhodes was surrounded and couldn't find an exit.

He used his internal force to make a flame burn in his hand, and used it to observe the surroundings.

The easiest way to find the exit is to use the mage ball to detect the surroundings with mental power, but Rhodes worried that using magic would be perceived by the court mages around the emperor, so he decided to only use internal power for the time being.

Rhodes thought it would be better to burn the food here later. If there was a fire here, everyone in the castle would definitely be alarmed, and it would be inconvenient for him to do anything by then.

After a while, he found a row of stairs. Rhodes walked up the stairs to a wooden door, stretched out his hand to push the wooden door open, poked his head out to look out, and left the dark cellar after confirming that no one was there.

Behind the wooden door is a room for the servants in the castle to sleep. It has just darkened, and they should all be busy with chores in the castle, and haven't had time to rest.

Rhodes felt a little regretful. He should find someone to understand the interior of the castle before sneaking in. He came in without knowing anything, and he might bump into someone powerful.

He took out the small wooden bottle containing the chaotic poison in the space ring, and smeared the poison on the plague of the wise.

After the poison touched the dagger, it flowed by itself and evenly covered the surface of the dagger, as if coating the dagger with a dark red film.

Rhodes didn't know how the poison would automatically and evenly cover the surface of the weapon after it touched the weapon. This couldn't be explained by physics and chemistry at all.

If this technology is applied to other things, it will definitely bring great benefits.

Rhodes took the dagger in his hand and left the same dark room.

Outside the room was a corridor lit with oil lamps. Rhodes' night clothes lost their effectiveness in this environment, and he couldn't be completely unnoticed by others.

In the future, I will find someone to learn to sneak. It is said that a real master of stealth, combined with some illusions, will not be discovered even if he is active under the eyes of others during the day.

The security in the castle seemed to be lax, and Rhodes walked along the corridor for a while without seeing anyone patrolling.

It may be to move the guards near the castle wall to prevent the Nord army from raiding at night, or to sneak in from a certain position on the wall.

No one would have thought that someone would be able to bypass the heavily guarded walls and enter the castle.

If Gilbert hadn't been hunted down by the cave bear, he would never have discovered this secret passage hidden deep in the cave.

Rhodes found an empty room and turned out the window of the room. The previous room leading to the cellar had no windows.

Arriving outside the dark castle, Rhode felt a lot more at ease. He was still a little panicked in the environment where oil lamps were lit everywhere inside the castle. His sneaking operation failed if he met anyone at random.

The wall next to the castle is covered with burning torches, and countless guards patrol it, but in this outdoor environment, the light from the torches can only barely illuminate the surrounding area of ​​a few meters.

Rhodes felt that those soldiers should not be able to find him in night clothes.

He decided to get acquainted with the terrain of the castle first, so that if he is discovered later, it will be easier to escape...

Marquis Eric was sitting in the study of the castle with a delicate drink to soothe his sorrows.

Since its completion, the Fortress of Glory has never been breached by the Nords. Unexpectedly, when he was the deputy commander of the fortress, the fortress fell.

I really became famous in the first battle, and our "glorious" deeds will definitely be recorded in future history books. This is a "glory" that even my father and grandfather could not enjoy.

Marquis Eric smiled wryly at himself.

He originally thought he was a person who didn't value honor, but in the end he found that he didn't run away with other nobles.

Even Duke Campbell, the most trusted by the emperor, left the fortress on the grounds of calling for reinforcements, and I told them that I had written to Duke Elvis asking for help, and their army should be on the way long ago. Wait until Duke Campbell When he arrived with the reinforcements he found, it was estimated that the confrontation between Duke Elvis and King Nord was over.

Marquis Eric has always felt that the current emperor is not worthy of letting him swear allegiance. After this war, he was even more disappointed with the emperor.

It's better to make a decision earlier, now is the best time to act, let's do some arrangement first.

Marquis Eric put down his wine glass, picked up a pen and began to write a letter on the animal skin. He had a plan, but he had to talk to his family members first...

An hour later, Rhodes roughly figured out the situation near the castle, and how many guards there were, he almost figured it out.

He also found that it seemed that a sewer in the castle could lead to the outside, and people outside could also lurk in through this sewer.

Rhodes has memorized the location of the sewer, and if he is found, he can also run out of this sewer.

Although it will make your body smell bad, it is better than climbing a stone wall eight or nine meters high with bare hands.

He found a room where the lights had been out for a long time, and turned in...
