Chapter 380: Infiltrate
It’s not that Xia Lan has not considered this matter, but today’s situation is too urgent and suddenly disrupted his original action plan. If he is ready enough, he can disguise himself as a servant who goes out of the villa and sways in and out, or even take risks and disguise himself as Magnison. However, how can he disguise himself as the current situation? Because unreasonable disguise will only make mistakes and omissions easily make people see through. Xia Lan doesn’t want to easily alarm the snake. {wx}
He took out the design drawings of Magnison's villa from the virtual ring and put them on the table. He moved them back and forth on the drawings with a serious expression. Seeing this, Verlitt, who was staying in the house, couldn't help but wonder: "His Excellency Xia Lan, what are you doing?"
"Reform the action plan to sneak into the villa." Xia Lan replied absent-mindedly.
Verlitt came to the table carefully and tried not to block the light in the house. She looked at the dense lines on the drawings and her eyes suddenly became dizzy. She remembered that when she first got this design drawing, there were not so many lines on it. This shows that these lines that destroyed the original appearance of the design drawings were all added by Lord Xia Lan later.
At this time, Xia Lan's finger moved to a small blank space on the drawing and stopped. He frowned and said to himself: "The villa back garden... I remember that there were many trees planted here during the last investigation, maybe..."
In an instant, a rough plan gradually formed in his mind.
Weirlitt couldn't disturb the other person's contemplation and slowly began to retreat to the wall in the room. After a while, Xia Lan quickly put away the drawings and walked directly towards the door.
"His Excellency Xialan, where are you?" Weirlitt asked in surprise.
"Investigate some things. You stay here and wait for Garrett to come back. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Xia Lan disappeared directly outside the door.
Weirlitt shook his head and walked to the window, staring at the brightly lit villa in the night in the distance. They didn't know why His Excellency Xialan was investigating Master Magnison, nor did they know what was attracted to each other in the villa of Magnison, but for professional ethics, they would not ask the employer for employment, and their only hope was that this matter would not cause any trouble to them.
When Garret came back panting, he found that there was only Virlit in the room, so he asked quickly without caring about fatigue: "Where is Lord Xia Lan?"
"He went out to investigate some things and would be back soon." Weirlitt sat on the chair with his slender legs raised. "What about you? Is there any result in the tracking?"
When Garret heard this, he fell to the ground exhausted and gasped, "Of course, you don't even look at who I am!"
"Is there any news about Magnison?"
Suddenly, Xia Lan's voice appeared mysteriously, and Virlit and Garet in the room were shocked, and then they found that Xia Lan had appeared outside the door at some point.
Garrett held up and saluted Xia Lan with sweat, saying, "Yes, according to the tracking of the next journey, I finally learned that Master Magnison went to the home of Connord, the president of the Alchemy Association."
"How far is it from here to Connard's residence?" Xia Lan thought for a moment.
"It doesn't take half an hour if you ride a carriage," Garrett said.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work!"
Xia Lan nodded and then left the room without looking back.
Garrett and Virlitt immediately looked at each other, as if they were both moved by Xia Lan's decisive style.
...
Xia Lan, who was rushing to the back garden of Magnison Villa, thought to himself. According to Garret's follow-up investigation, it was only half an hour for him to sneak into the villa to steal information. The longer the time, the more unfavorable his situation. Of course, this was what Xia Lan conjectured based on the worst result. If Magnison stayed at Connard's house all night, everything could be said otherwise, but Xia Lan would never hope that such good things would happen to him.
When he came to the tall wall of the back garden of the villa, the lights in the doorman were still on in the distance, and men's conversations would come from time to time. Xia Lan ignored it because when he came to investigate earlier, he had quietly peeked at the movements in the doorman. There were just two lowly servants who were secretly drinking and chatting.
He had imagined pretending to be them, but this idea was quickly dispelled for many reasons, the main reason was that the risk of exposure exceeded the value of pretending to be them.
After sensing the safety and normal situation in the back garden, Xia Lan jumped and jumped directly into the lush green back garden. Through the concealment of trees, flowers and plants, he calmed down and quickly launched his actions to sneak into the villa through the clearly visible route of the villa, avoiding the guards patrolling regularly and hiding the hidden whistle. After a while, the gorgeous and magnificent house of the villa was in front of him.
The back door of the villa was stationed at the guards as expected. It was not difficult to break through the front. The difficulty was how not to alarm the other guards in the villa. Xia Lan did not intend to enter the villa through the back door, but quietly came to the window on the other side of the villa. She carefully pried open the window, and felt vigilantly. After she immediately turned over the window and entered the brightly lit villa corridor.
He returned the window to its original state and observed the villa on the left and right to identify the location of the villa. He did not rush to the direction of the laboratory in the villa, but instead snorted towards the villa stairs.
So far, he has not found the aura of the two strong men rumored in the villa in his perception, which makes him quite puzzled. Unless the other party's rank is higher than himself, forming perceptual suppression, or having special hidden means, it is impossible for Xia Lan to not be able to sense them. Perhaps he is arrogant. In terms of perceptual sensitivity, Xia Lan can be said to be no less than the strong men at the peak of the upper level.
Any ability will be different from ordinary people after years of training, and Xia Lan is like this. From the beginning of his learning to perceive, half of his life is perceived and surrounded by perception. Although this brings a huge burden to the brain, compared to his own safety, what is this spiritual burden!
Perhaps it was because of his frequent use of perception that caused the mentally overwhelmed split.
Magnison's laboratory is underground in the house east of the villa. If ordinary people want to sneak into the laboratory, they must first face the guards guarding at the door. Even if they avoid the guards and enter the house, how to activate the switch at the entrance of the underground laboratory has become the second problem, because so far, the information about the switch of the underground laboratory in the villa Magnison has not been circulated.
As for the third problem, who can know what unknown traps are hidden in the underground laboratory?
The first problem was solved easily by Xia Lan.
reason?
Very simple.
Because he disguised himself as Magnison's youngest daughter.
Magnison has three children, two sons and one daughter. Due to the breakdown of the family marriage in his early years, his wife completely separated from him. Now both sons are dealing with family business by his wife, and his only young daughter has been influenced by Magnison since she was a child and has become an alchemist.
His wife was the daughter of the former president of the parliament of Esdaq Trading City. So when his wife was separated, even an alchemist with a transcendent status like him had to compromise. Of course, this was only one reason. The most important thing was that Magnison was very afraid of his wife. This was not a secret. As early as a few years after Magnison got married, this was an interesting news circulated in Port Louis.
Magnison's wife was a very strong woman. She had always been harsh in her attitude towards Magnison. Later, Magnison could not bear it. The two finally had a severe conflict, and it was normal for the marriage to break down.
Magnison's youngest daughter Clara is only 30 years old this year and is still unmarried. However, her achievements in alchemy have become beyond the reach of her peers. As early as the age of twenty, she was promoted to a senior alchemist. Although she has been stagnant, she has long been known as a master of the future leader of the Esdaq Alchemy Association. Whoever asked her to have an alchemist's father around her to teach her that if it were Winnie, it would be no problem to surpass Clara with her talent.
Unfortunately, people are born unequal.
Xia Lan did not go to the laboratory at the first time to look for Clake and disguise herself as her. If the person in the entire villa who is the easiest person to relax his guard is undoubtedly Magnison and Clara.
In the third floor room of the villa, he found Clara by holding a maid hostage, and pretended to be a maid and knocked Clara who was focusing on academic materials, changed into the other party's clothes, and then came to the entrance of the laboratory room as if nothing had happened.
Disguising as a woman is not new to Xia Lan. In the past, he used this method to assassinate the target, and the effect was unexpectedly significant.
The guards immediately saluted respectfully when they saw Clara disguised as Xia Lan, and did not even dare to ask why Xia Lan entered the room and let it go.
As soon as he entered the room, there were tall bookshelfs inside, full of books about alchemy. Xia Lan looked around and looked around to find the switches at the underground entrance of the laboratory.
Where exactly?
Xia Lan has explored lamps, flower pots, wall tiles, bookcases, almost every place, but she has never found a switch to start the entrance of the laboratory. Is the laboratory not in this room? As time passes by, Xia Lan can't suppress her anxiety.
Xia Lan, who walked to the chair in front of the desk, sat down, stared at the things in the room and thought about it, was suddenly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It turned out that the switch was here.
Because, when he habitually leaned back on the chair, he found that the chair was still motionless, as if it was fixed in place.
