An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

"Kill a bird, kill another bird, and throw it in front of the stupid cat, let it be kicked away by the mistress! Hehe."

"Guard the door, monitor, guard the door, monitor."

"..."

"Too boring! Too boring! Let's have some fun, Asmodeus, please, let's have some fun!"

Several waves of different but equally clear thoughts entered Noshil's mind. He could clearly feel the thoughts of these demons. Even if some demons had no thoughts in their minds, he could clearly sense their specific locations.

The location of these demons was very close to Noshil. At the front of the mansion, only four demons' thoughts were felt, and they were on the four fountains in the courtyard. Although the location could be clearly sensed and the five or six-meter-high fountains could be seen, Noshil could not see their specific forms. Invisible?

"It's a little devil. This kind of devil is almost at the bottom of the strict class system in hell. It is very small, about the size of a 2-3 year old human child. Although its combat power is not high, the only lethal weapon is its scorpion-like tail sting, but the toxicity of the tail sting is very deadly to ordinary people."

"However, for melee professionals with a physical attribute of more than 14 points, it can only cause temporary paralysis, which is almost negligible for me."

"This kind of devil has poor combat power, but it is born with the ability to be invisible, and its intelligence is also very high. Normally, it has an intelligence of 11 points, which is smarter than ordinary humans."

"Letting a little devil with the ability to be invisible be a sentinel is indeed a very good choice."

Noshier almost instantly judged the situation he was facing with the monster knowledge in his mind. It was a perfect match to use a little devil for this kind of thing. After all, these little things can only do so much.

However, although these little guys are weak, the difficult thing is that he really has no way to bypass them now.

"It's troublesome. With these little guys here, it's hard to get around them without alerting them even with the stealth cloak, at least the main entrance is out of the question."

Noshier spent some time to secretly circle around the entire Duke of Van Sample's mansion, and finally he completely determined the number of little devils outside.

"There are 16 in total, with four guards on each side, hiding in various commanding heights, window eaves, roofs, branches, fountains, and the sight of such places is too wide. It's difficult for me to secretly pass through them. Even if I fly directly upstairs and slowly descend in the dark, I may be discovered."

"These little devils have a higher level of dark vision than my low-light vision. I can't have any advantage even at night."

The situation seemed to be deadlocked at the beginning, but for Noshier, this level of problem is not without any solution. He just thought about it for a while and thought of two feasible methods.

The first one is to use the Seven-ring Demon Complete Domination Spell to control two little devils in a certain direction, and then let them use the poison needles on their tails to instantly attack the other two uncontrolled ones in an invisible state. This will definitely open the passage on one side and allow you to lurk in.

However, it is too wasteful to use the Seven-ring Spell on the little devil. There must be other more powerful devils in the Duke's Mansion. It is better to keep this trump card first.

The second one is to find a way to clearly explore the internal structure inside. As long as you are familiar with the lines in the manor, you can at least remember the shelters inside and where you can quickly enter the stone building.

After mastering this information, just wait until the night to act, let Scar make a little noise outside to attract the attention of those little devils, and you can take this opportunity to quickly pass through the courtyard.

He has full confidence that he will never be discovered by those little devils.

Noshier took off the crown. This equipment can allow him to sense the location of the devils and spy on their thoughts, but unless one of the devils has been completely dominated by this crown before, it cannot directly connect their vision.

It was a pity. If the function of this equipment was stronger, Noshier could directly connect the vision to the eyes of those little devils and observe the specific situation inside in this way.

But this equipment is not a divine weapon after all, it is impossible to do this, and it can only control three devils at most. The absolute control of evil devils can only be released three times a day. He does not intend to waste any precious spells on the little devils, so he has to do this job himself.

However, due to the limitation of the high wall, Noshier can only see the internal situation of the manor through the two-meter-high bottom wall unless he jumps or flies up, but in that case, anyone who is not a fool can see that his purpose is not pure.

Noshier turned back to the Zhongkan District and randomly found a more remote street. After making sure that there was no one around, he directly pulled up the sewer manhole cover on the ground and jumped down.

He had sensed through the helmet that there were other devils' thoughts under the mansion of Duke Fansampler before, which meant that there was a basement under the Duke's mansion, which meant an additional secret passage for people like them.

Noshir wanted to see if he could find a way out underground first. If there really was an underground secret passage, then Noshir wouldn't have to bother investigating the situation above and could just sneak in through the secret passage.

Thanks to the efforts of the Van Sample family, the sewer system of Baldur's Gate, at least the sewer system of the upper city, has been greatly improved.

I don't know what design concept it was based on, but the sewer system of Baldur's Gate was built very large. If I were to make an analogy, it would be more like the subway in his previous life, with sewage flowing in the middle like a river, and there were large sidewalks on both sides of the river that were specially vacant enough for five people to walk side by side.

Noshier restored the manhole cover to its original position the moment he jumped down. With the help of his wings and the clever boots on his feet, he did not make any movement. Like a ghost, he walked quickly in this relatively tidy sewer in the direction he had sensed before.

However, things did not develop as he imagined. Noshier soon came to the end of the road. The neatly laid bricks disappeared in front of him, and even the sewage pipes turned left in front of him. What appeared in front of him was a whole piece of intact rock.

"What's going on? The crown should be sensing this direction, but what's going on with this rock layer?"

"There's actually a large piece of bedrock under the Duke's mansion? What a joke, don't they flush their shit into the sewer, but hire porters to carry it away?"

Noshil went up to check it out, and in order to prevent it from being a real illusion, he took off his gloves and touched the rock layer with his own hands. However, no matter how much he didn't believe it, the actual touch told Noshil that there was a large piece of stone in front of him.

"It's really a ghost. It stands to reason that the crown's sensing can't be wrong. There should be at least a piece of space in front of me. Unless magic is used, who can be in a whole piece of rock..."

"Magic?"

Noshil put on the Crown of Domination again and felt it carefully. With the super perception brought by this legendary equipment, he once again felt that there were indeed several demons with silent thoughts behind this rock. This time, the feeling was clearer, and the straight-line distance between these demons and Noshil might not exceed 50 meters.

"Yes, it's definitely magic. It looks like the stone wall technique has completely sealed off the space outside the basement. Duke Van Sampler probably did this to prevent those Baal assassins from suddenly turning against her and attacking her directly from the sewer."

Noshier looked to the left. The sewage next to him was diverted to that side from now on. The originally spacious sidewalk also disappeared directly at the corner. All he could see was the smelly water.

"Maybe there are some sewage valves reserved by Duke Van Sampler under the water, but if he really wants to wade through the sewage, the stench of the sewage alone will expose him. This stone wall is too thick, and he can't break it at all."

Noshier scratched his head.

"It seems that the method of entering directly through the secret passage can be abandoned. He still has to go above. As for investigating the internal environment, he still has to rely on..."

"Squeak, squeak."

A fat rat suddenly crawled out of the sewer. It shook its body to get rid of the sewage as if no one was around. It was holding something in its mouth that was hard to tell what it was before. It was probably food, but it was already rotten.

The mouse looked up at Noshir, then turned around and ran away quickly with the unknown object in its mouth.

"Don't run, Mouse, come and help me!"
