Chapter 171: Assassination (Part II)

Time passed, and soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and judging from Agna's observation for many days, the servants in the lord's palace should have been preparing the medicinal soup for the lord's bath, and it was a good time to poison it.

It was a sunny day, the sun was blazing, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and when no one was paying attention, Agna burst out of the dark corner across the street, and as fast as a cloud of mist, quietly entered a hut next to the gate of the lord's palace.

This hut was used by the lord's palace for temporary reception, with an area of more than 20 square meters, with some chairs and tables in it, and a wooden door, which was ajar at this time.

There happened to be no one in the house, so Agna quickly walked to the wooden door, put her ear on the wooden door and listened carefully, there were footsteps and conversations behind the door, looking at the scene, this wooden door should lead to the inside of the lord's mansion.

However, Agna did not dare to push the door lightly, she leaned behind the door and observed the situation behind the door through the gap above.

At this glance, she was taken aback. Behind the door was a passageway, and on either side stood four heavily armed guards, all of whom were afraid of each other, with crossbows in their hands.

Of course, Agna knows the power of this weapon, the crossbow bolts fired by this thing can shoot through ordinary heavy armor within ten steps, one or two people are okay to say, but four people, especially there are more guards in the mansion, once alarmed, they will attack in groups, even with her skills, they feel very tricky.

≮Look at these guards again, one by one, standing straight, without the slightest slack, always vigilant. Obviously, this Rollin takes military discipline very seriously, and the soldiers also understand their duties. All of them did their best.

'This damn it! Agna cursed. Gave up the idea of sneaking through this wooden door. She hadn't actually infiltrated the Lord's Mansion before. All the news was observed and deduced by her from afar, so she didn't have a good idea at this time, but she was bold and bold, and she didn't have the slightest panic in her heart.

The reception room could not be held for long, as someone could come to visit the lord at any moment, and Agna turned her head to look around, finally resting her gaze on the pillars above her head.

It was built in a hurry, so there was no ceiling in this room. It is easy to climb up the beams, and there is a small vent on the side of the roof, which leads to the interior of the lord's mansion depending on the direction.

Agna was overjoyed, and with a slight leap on the spot, the whole person rose into the air like a ball of feathers, and easily climbed to the beam and reached the vent.

The vent was small, no more than 20 centimeters long and wide, and was sealed with iron bars. But it didn't bother Agna, and she drew the dagger from her back. The sharp blade of the sword rested against the iron bar, and it slashed slightly.

The bars of inferior cast iron were silently sliced, and soon, all of them were sliced, and Agna began to gather her body as hard as she could.

The amplitude of her retracted body was very large, originally her figure was about the same as that of a sturdy adult man, but this retraction was similar to that of an ordinary human girl.

She easily climbed into the vent.

The vents are followed by flat planks and pitched roofs, which resemble an attic with wooden boxes.

Because it was a newly built building, only a thin layer of dust had fallen on the wooden board, and she climbed up lightly, and looked down through the gap in the wooden board, which happened to be the passage behind the gate of the lord's mansion, and the guards she saw just now were under her.

This discovery made Agna's heart tense and she became more and more careful, for fear of making a noise for the soldiers below to find out.

She crawled gently inside, crawling for a moment, then peering down through the gap in the plank to determine her position.

After climbing cautiously for ten minutes, she suddenly felt a hole in the plank in front of her, no, to be precise, a door, and a wooden ladder was erected on the door, from which heat continued to rise, and at the same time the aroma of food and the sound of conversation came.

"It's time for the kitchen!" With joy in her heart, Agna slowly got up from the plank, walked quietly, and looked down through the opening.

This is indeed the kitchen, and the cooks below are busy, and Agna looked around, and saw a large stove in the corner, and several large wooden barrels were placed next to the stove, which were used to boil water. She had seen it from afar through the window before.

To Agna's surprise and frustration, the stove was not on fire today, let alone hot water.

What she didn't know was that because of Nalosha's matter, Luo Lin didn't train hard today, so naturally she didn't need a medicinal bath to recover her body.

"It seems that there is no way to poison the bath. However, food can also be poisoned. Agna perked up again, and began eavesdropping on the conversation of the cooks below, she had to determine which was the lord's food, and which was the rations of the soldiers and servants, and if it was used in the wrong way, it would only scare the snakes and snakes if they poisoned the others.

Fortunately, it should not be difficult to distinguish this, in Agna's mind, as long as you pick the most delicious, the best quality poisoned food.

But the problem soon came.

After observing for a while, Agna discovered that the food of Lord Lorin and his soldiers were actually made together, in other words, they were eating the same thing.

"Damn it!" Agna cursed for the second time, she had never heard that a lord would eat the same food as a soldier, it was ridiculous!

But angry and angry, this is the case, although it has increased the difficulty of poisoning out of thin air, but Agna can only accept it.

She waited patiently, for Rollin to return, for the servants to divide the portion of food that belonged to the lord.

Just as Agna was patiently looking for an opportunity, in Rollin's room, Narosa, who had been sleeping for most of the day, suddenly moved.

Her snake tail slowly wriggled and spread out, revealing the body hidden within, and on the body, the fourth pair of arms had matured.

Waving her new arms and feeling the power flowing in them, Nalosha's eyes flashed with satisfaction: "But these arms can't hold a bow, otherwise they won't be busy." But I can take a sword and a shield, just to make up for my lack of defense. ”

There are many sword and shield lords' mansions, and there are two sets in Rollin's room, which he uses as a backup, and Narosa takes them unceremoniously.

She was about to go out and get a good exercise on her new arms and get familiar with the use of her weapon, but no more than a few meters later, Narosa suddenly stopped, turned her head sideways, her ears piled up on the ceiling, and began to listen carefully.

After growing into an eight-armed snake demon, her strength has become more and more huge, and her five senses have become more and more acute, and now the snake demon is confident that her strength is no longer inferior to that elf Selena.

She stopped because she heard a slight noise from the roof: "Is it a cat?" ”

The sound was so soft, similar to a cat's footsteps, but if you read it carefully, it didn't look like it. She sniffled, and from the air, she smelled an unfamiliar smell, completely different from the smell of a cat.

"No, not a cat." Narosa shook her head, she closed her eyes and swam along the way, guided by the small sounds and unfamiliar scents.

She swam out of the room, and when the soldiers guarding outside the house saw her, they wanted to salute and greet her, but she waved her hand to stop her, and she made another gesture, which was prescribed by Rollin, and the movements were concise and clear, each gesture represented a command, and was suitable for many occasions where it was not suitable to speak.

"There are assassins, go out quietly and surround the lord's mansion."

The lord's soldiers looked stunned, nodded silently, and left the lord's mansion silently. There were only fifteen of them, which was not a lot of them, but fortunately, the lord's mansion was not big, it was just a slightly larger wooden house, with an area of only three hundred square meters, and there were not many exits and windows, and the soldiers were divided into five groups, each group of three people, and quietly gathered the patrol guards of the small town passing by, a total of more than thirty people, and quietly blocked all the exits in the lord's mansion.

Inside the house, Narosa swam gently, the scales of the snake's tail smooth, silent as it passed by the ground.

With all the arrows in her bow in her hand, her sword and shield in hand, she began to slowly approach the kitchen.

The smell of food came from the kitchen, it was strong, but there was still a hint of unfamiliar smell mixed in with it, which could not hide from her nose.

Narosa gestured to the soldiers who had deliberately left behind her not far behind her: "Focus on surrounding the kitchen!" ”

The soldier nodded, went out to deliver the order, and after a while, he came back and gestured to Nalosha, meaning that everything was ready.

Narosa nodded, pushed open the kitchen door, and wandered in, ignoring the surprise and surprise of the cooks.

In the attic, Agna didn't notice it, still discerning which part was the lord's food, and the chef who had been talking about it suddenly stopped talking, and she was also stunned for a moment, but instinctively, she hurriedly retracted her head and hid it.

The kitchen was still quiet, except for the crackling of firewood and the bubbling of boiling water.

"Who came in? Why can't I hear his footsteps? Doubts flashed through Agna's mind, and she shifted her head to observe the situation through the cracks in the wood.

At this glance, she was taken aback.

In the kitchen, the snake demon she had always feared was wandering around, and looking at her position, it was close to the stairs of the attic.

At this time, the cooks were exiting the door, leaving only the snake demon alone. The bow in her hand was already drawn, ready to attack.

"Oh no, I'm going to be discovered!" Agna knew immediately that something was wrong. (To be continued......)
