late at night.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and everything is quiet.

Xia Lan stood on the windowsill, looking deep at the Glady Fort in the distance, surrounded by hazy moonlight in the distance. The tall gray exterior walls were filled with countless vaguely visible vines. The lights in the castle were sparse and dim, and the surface looked quite gloomy.

He is not unfamiliar with this castle, because Viscount Frant had invited him and Pandillia several times a few days ago to participate in the banquets held by each other, but they came and went in a hurry and simply dealt with each banquet.

Glady Fort is divided into a castle and a castle. The castle is stationed by the most elite knight guards under Viscount Frant, and the guards in the castle are even more stringent, so it is difficult for ordinary people to get into it without a pass permit.

"Trouble guy-"

Sensing the faint secret aura in a certain corner, Xia Lan suddenly said to herself in an inauspicious voice.

Since they were first invited to enter Glady Fort, Xia Lan, who has been in a state of caution, has keenly sensed that someone in secret was secretly monitoring and observing his hidden breath. Judging from the intensity of the breath, the other party's identity should be the rumored Bukins, known as the strong wind in the dark night.

Xia Lan was not surprised because this was what he expected, but what he did not expect was that the other party's surveillance of almost all-weather had continued until now.

He could understand Viscount Frant's caution, but was this caution over-exerted?

Close the windows and pull up the curtains.

Xia Lan turned around, and the virtual ring between her fingers suddenly emitted a faint light. She saw a bottle of gray potion appearing in his hand.

Want to monitor me completely? I'm afraid you don't have the ability yet!

An arc was drawn from the corner of his mouth. Xia Lan narrowed her eyes and sneered secretly.

...

He gently pulled the gray cloak wrapped around him. Bukins yawned a little tired, but his eyes were fixed on the familiar room not far away.

He followed Viscount Frant's orders and had been monitoring and observing the mysterious upper swordsman for a long time. He didn't know whether the other party had discovered his trace, but what if he was discovered by the other party? He believed that if the other party was a smart person, then he would never expose himself easily!

After observing for nearly a month, he was puzzled about something. What was the purpose of the other party coming to apply for results?

Because he never saw the other party doing anything suspicious. Most of the time, he followed his guardian "master".

In Algeron's report, the other party was a guard hired by a family of a force in Adria, who was specifically responsible for protecting children who were traveling out. But what kind of force was capable of hiring a strong man?

He didn't believe it, Viscount Frant did not believe it, let alone the impact of the war launched by Count Heather not long ago. This incident made them even more suspicious, because there might be such a possibility. The other party might be Count Heather secretly planted a chess piece that destroyed Viscount Frant!

Therefore, they had to observe them in a cold and meticulous manner for the time being.

Winter is coming. Earl Heather's offensive on the front line is already in a dilemma. Soon after, I think the White Frost Knight will return to victory. By that time, it doesn't matter even if the opponent is a piece placed by Earl Heather, because they have enough strength to face everything, unlike now.

The weather gradually became cold at night, and occasionally the cold wind blew, and it made people shudder. After the lights in the room that was under observation were completely extinguished, there was no sound anymore, and Bukins's vigilance also relaxed.

It is impossible for a human nerve to be in a tense state all the time. Only by tension and relaxation can the normal body and mind be ensured.

At the moment when he was dozing and relaxing, a figure suddenly flew away from the room in the darkness that he didn't know.

...

Running quietly in the dense forest and constantly approaching Glady Fort, Xia Lan was wearing a black suit, as if she was blending into the night silently.

Tonight, he needs to visit Gladyborg at night.

He is confident that with his own strength, he can completely deceive the guards of Glady Fort lurk in. Moreover, the only Viscount Frante can compete with him, Bukins, who is now stranded outside to "surveillance" him. If he wants to quietly break into the exploration of Glady Fort, it will undoubtedly be a breeze!

For some reason, Viscount Frant's indifference to them really made Xia Lan feel a little strange, and it was this strange that made him think about investigating.

He was suspicious by nature and found it difficult to believe that things would be as simple as they were.

The interior of the Glady Fort must pass through three closely guarded arched gates in the outer castle and the inner castle. However, this is only for ordinary people. For superiors like Xia Lan, the tall castle walls are just decorations.

He did not choose to enter through the city gate, but jumped up and climbed up under the unmanned dark wall, avoiding the patrol guards, and after several ups and downs, he was in the interior of the castle where Viscount Frant usually lives.

His keen perception easily allowed him to hide the secret whistles and servants in the castle, wandering in the deep corridors shining with dim candlelight, and facing the complex and different roads makes people feel lost.

He was searching, looking for Viscount Frant's study.

Because the study of the nobles often hides what they value the most.

After searching for a long time without success, Xia Lan finally chose the simplest and most rude way!

Hiding around a corner and hearing a footstep coming from far to near, Xia Lan covered the other person's mouth and nose and forced it into the darkness as soon as the person appeared.

"Um--"

The person who was kidnapped by Xia Lan kept struggling, and he only became quiet when a cold stinging pain from his neck surged into his brain.

"I advise you not to struggle and resist, otherwise the sharp blade in my hand will immediately cut your throat!"

"You...who are you?"

Is he a woman?

After slightly letting go of his powerful hands covering the other person's mouth and nose, Xia Lan heard the faint sound of the person who was hijacked in her arms.

"Where is Viscount Frant's study?"

Xia Lan did not answer the other party's question, but pressed the short blade in her hand tightly against the other party's neck again.

"I...I...I know."

It seemed that the person who was hijacked was a little incoherent.

"I'll ask again, where is Viscount Frant's study?" Xia Lan frowned slightly, and said with a low voice.

"I...you will kill me after I say it?"

The man who was hijacked suddenly became clear-headed.

"I won't kill you!" Xia Lan reacted quickly, without hesitation while lying.

"No, you will definitely kill me!"

The hijacked person trembled softly.

"If you still escape my problem, I will kill you now!" Xia Lan said in a cold voice.

"Please don't kill me, okay? I can take you to Viscount Frant's study now." The man who was hijacked seemed to recognize the situation and immediately said.

"No, I just need you to tell Viscount Frant's study where is!" Xia Lan refused.

"No, if I told you now, you would definitely kill me." The hijacked person looked quite smart and said without fear in the face of Xia Lan's threat: "If you don't agree to my conditions, you can kill me now."

Xia Lan frowned and her eyes flashed. After a long time, he said, "Yes! You will take me to Viscount Frant's study now, but if I find any abnormal movements, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"Okay! One word is determined!"

The man who was hijacked calmly said.

"Please come with me."

After saying that, the man actually broke away from Xia Lan's hijacking and moved slowly. Of course, there was Xia Lan's tacit approval.

He is not afraid of the other party's scheming, because his confidence in strength makes him not afraid of everything.

With the candlelight swaying on the wall, Xia Lan saw clearly the person he was hijacked.
