Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 414 Action
Al hesitated for a long time after hearing Rhode's words, and finally he stood up from the sofa, walked around the desk and walked in front of the noble man, and picked up a dagger that was used for decoration on the desk.

"No, you're not him, he won't do that." The noble man stood up and looked at Al with horror and said.

"As you said before, people change." Al stabbed the dagger into the left chest of the noble man.

The noble man snorted, clutching the dagger on his chest, staring at Al with wide eyes, leaning back against the wall.

It didn't take long before he lost the last of his strength and slipped to the ground.

"We only need to kill the emperor tonight, presumably as long as he is killed, those nobles who are ruthless should know where to stand." Al turned his head and said to Rhodes.

"And the emperor's son, I remember he should have grown up." Rhodes said while sitting on the sofa with a smile.

"He's innocent." Al shook his head.

"If you want the whole country to fall into civil strife, you don't have to kill him, you can decide for yourself." Rhode stood up from the sofa: "Do you think that after you kill the emperor, your nephew will still be the same as before?" Is that to you?"

Al looked at Rhodes with some surprise: "So you already know."

"Next time, if you want to use a pseudonym, it's best to use snacks, although your character and your current image that you have shown for a while, it is difficult for people to connect with your previous identity." Rhodes said.

"There should be no next time." Al replied.

Rhodes' previous conjecture about El's identity was also correct. Al was actually Duke Elvis of the Roman Empire, the emperor's younger brother.

Al now looks very sloppy, with long beard and hair, and messy, and the smell of wine and sweat mixed on his body, so Rhodes never connected him with Duke Elvis before. .

Rhodes once saw him from a distance, and felt that he was completely two people before and now. Rhodes still remembered the heroism of Duke Elvis when he charged on the battlefield with a giant sword and a lance in his hand at the same time. appearance.

Al's previous personality also confused Rhodes, just like most ordinary adventurers, he could never have imagined that he used to be a great nobleman with a high position and illustrious military exploits.

"Before it's still early, let's do it quickly." Rhodes said again: "Actually, I think it's enough for me to go to the palace alone, and you go to deal with those powerful nobles who support the emperor, so you don't have to bear the burden." A reputation for kinkilling."

"Actually, I have a plan that won't affect the country, and I don't want you to take risks for me. The palace is very dangerous..."

"I went in to assassinate, and didn't just rush in to challenge all of them. Did you notice that I was following you on the road just now?" Rhode asked back.

"Well, be safe." Al sighed: "He lives on the top floor of the castle in the palace."

Rhodes nodded, and jumped directly from the window on the third floor.

Al is still a very poor person. In the past, he didn't have any thoughts about that position. As a result, he has been jealous of the current emperor. Al just endured it blindly, and even waited until the emperor's son became an adult before giving birth to an heir. Finally ushered in such an ending.

Rhodes heard in the tavern before that Duke Elvis was robbed of everything, his wife and newborn son died in the previous chaos, and he heard that the way of death was cruel.

Afterwards, he himself has been hunted down, and finally met Rhodes in the Extreme North Province.

Rhodes remembered that the Duke of Elvis in his world did not take the position from the emperor's underage son after the emperor's death, even though most of the nobles supported him as emperor.

Sure enough, in many struggles, there cannot be the slightest kindness, even if you don't want to be an enemy at all.

Rhodes soon arrived near the palace, where the security was much stricter.

Teams of knights in gorgeous armor patrolling back and forth, just relying on the aura exuded from them, has already made most timid people dare not approach.

Rhodes first used the mage ball to roughly observe the layout of the palace. The palace is too big, and his mental power cannot completely cover it, and there is some kind of power blocking his prying.

Rhodes chose the same sneaking method as before, using light work to reach high altitude, and then fell from the sky into the garden of the palace.

After entering the garden, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

The imperial palace is a place for people to live in. Even if there are many traps, they should be arranged on the periphery.

Like the garden where Rhodes is staying now, there shouldn't be any traps. The emperor didn't want him to trigger a lot of magic traps to kill him when he was walking in the garden.

It is also impossible for someone in this world to fly into the sky and fall into the palace like Rhodes without any fluctuations in magic power.

Although some powerful fighters can jump very high, the movement they create is more obvious than the fluctuation of magic power, and even ordinary people can feel it.

Rhodes followed the path in the garden and entered the castle not far away. Al told him that the emperor lived in a room on the third floor of the castle.

If Al hadn't told him this, Rhodes felt that he would definitely run to the palace to search slowly.

Avoiding the sight of the guards at the gate, he sneaked into the castle quietly. After finding the stairs, he followed the stairs all the way up to the third floor of the castle.

After leaving the stairs, there is a long corridor in front of you.

There is a door at the end of the corridor. This room should be where the emperor lives, but I don't know why there is not even a guard at the door.

Rhodes walked slowly along the corridor. The floor of this corridor is all wooden, which is similar to the nightingale floor on the earth. As long as there is a slight step on it, it will produce a violent sound, which acts as an alarm.

But it didn't have much impact on Rhodes, except that he made a little sound when he stepped on it, and there was no sound at every step after that.

Soon Rhodes reached the end of the corridor and stopped in front of the heavy iron door.

The inside of the iron door is locked, and it is locked with a very primitive bolt. Rhodes has never learned how to pick a lock, but it does not prevent him from easily opening the lock.

He took out the Bane of the Wise Men from the space ring, inserted it into the crack of the door, and began to cut slowly.

Rhodes originally wanted to use Han Ye's, but he was worried that the cold air emitted by Han Ye would alarm the people in the castle.

The door bolt should be made of special metal. After Rhodes instilled internal force into the Calamity of the Wise, the speed of cutting the door bolt was still very slow, but this was also related to his deliberate reluctance to make a sound.

After about 10 minutes, Rhodes finally cut off all the bolts on the iron gate.

He pushed open the door and walked in. The scene in the room was a bit different from what he had imagined. This room was not a bedroom at all, but a storage room for weapons and equipment.
