An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

Tail carefully poked his head out from under the door frame. Although he had said something arrogant before, he was still a timid mouse. He valued his life, so he always kept in mind Noshil's instructions.

After he poked his head out, Noshil did not feel any unusual movements from the little devils. In fact, Noshil had detected the thoughts of the little devils through the crown, and at least two of them saw Tail.

"Ah, another mouse. If only it could run to the window, I could sting it to death."

"No mouse, a bird, a bird!"

--

"It's safe, Tail. Those little devils won't attack you now. You can explore the manor freely. Just be careful not to get close to the fountain, trees and windows."

"Don't rush into the house yet. Walk along the angle of the wall first. This way you can scout the terrain and ensure your safety."

"Really? Well, at least it's much safer than walking through a human yard in the sun."

Tail walked eastward along the wall of the stable. At this time, from its perspective, it could clearly see the southwest direction of the entire manor, that is, what was at the main gate of the manor.

Dozens of tall fountains with gorgeous reliefs were lined up in a row. These fountains were separated in the central courtyard, with the central gate as the boundary, and half on each side. The children on the relief were holding watering cans and spraying water. There were beautiful flower beds around the fountains, and a row of neatly trimmed trees near the stone building.

This stable is also a rectangular building. When Tail walked along the wall to the end of the stable and was about to turn left, it suddenly heard human footsteps.

The fear brought by the sound made it stop immediately, but soon the will to survive took over again. It began to run quickly towards a big tree at the corner in front, and finally found a hiding spot before it was discovered by those humans.

Tail curled up under the roots of the big tree, and it was ready to make plans after the humans left. At this time, Noshil also switched vision to hearing. He had not fully opened up all the perception abilities of the beast before, so that he could have the ability to perceive the environment around the main body.

Although he did not hear the footsteps like Tail before, its panic at that moment was also fully felt by Noshil, so he immediately switched the form of the spell, and the sound heard in Tail's ears began to be transmitted to Noshil's ears without error.

"This sound is footsteps, the sound is heavy, it should be male, there are three people, standing in a scattered manner, is it the patrol team hired by the Duke?"

"Interesting, there are already little devils guarding the door, but they actually hired human security guards, are they trying to cover up?"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but when they were about to turn the corner, the sound suddenly paused for a moment, which made Noshier's heart a little lifted, not to mention the tail, through the tail's ears Noshier could even hear its heartbeat.

But things did not develop in the worst direction after all. After the footsteps stopped for a moment, they actually started to turn back, and the guards did not notice this inconspicuous little uninvited guest.

"Going back, why are you going back here? Is it because of the division of patrol areas?"

"If that's true, then there must be more than one group of guards in the manor, maybe there are other guards, but I didn't find them."

"Considering the size of this manor, there may be at least three other groups of guards. I wonder if these guards will patrol at night."

These thoughts flashed through Noshier's mind like lightning, but he soon realized that no matter what the answers to these questions were, it would not affect his infiltration.

Noshier was very confident in his stealth skills. With the help of the two strange objects, these ordinary soldiers would never be able to discover him. The only thing he had to worry about was the sight of those little devils.

So next, Noshier needed Tail to carefully explore the manor so that he could determine where it was best to sneak in at night.

At this time, Tail also recovered from the frightened state. After confirming that the humans had gone far away, it immediately ran to the corner of the stone building and completely covered its tracks with the dense flowers and plants planted there.

Next, the tail began to lurk more cautiously. During the time in the greenhouse, it could not be seen from the outside. Only after walking a certain distance, the tail would stop somewhere, make sure there was no movement around, and then find a relatively high place around to look around, and then quickly hide again, and continue to move towards the next location.

Relying on this method, the tail only took more than half an hour to explore the approximate location of the entire manor.

In the entire manor, except for the not-so-regular stone building in the center, only the stable in the northwest corner was a barely independent building. Apart from that, it can be said that it was very empty. The entire manor was designed very neatly. Except for some flower beds, trees and fountains as decorations, there was almost nothing else to see. And it was indeed as Noshier guessed, there were a total of 12 patrolling guards constantly patrolling the manor, three in each direction.

"It seems that if we want to sneak in at night, we must use the stable as a breakthrough point. I remember that there are only two little devils who can directly observe the stable in that direction. According to the induction of the Crown of Domination, one of them is lurking on the west wall, probably by the window on the second floor, and the other should be on top of the fountain."

"Two, if there are only two, I should be able to get rid of them in an instant, and then just throw their bodies into the fountain, so as to avoid the smell of blood to the greatest extent. Expose yourself."

"... It still feels a little unsafe, forget it, go to the witchcraft grocery store in the afternoon to see if there are any props that can help deal with this situation."

While Noshier was thinking, the tail also started to act again. It began to look for a passage that could secretly drill into the stone building according to the plan Noshier had made before.

In fact, it had found it a long time ago, and now it was just turning back. The rat hole that the tail found was on the north side of the manor, under a particularly secret stone brick, and it could follow that road directly to the interior of the stone building.

Tail arrived there quickly. After crawling into the hole, he found that the exit of this cave was blocked by a shelf, but it was not blocked tightly, so he tried to climb and finally climbed out.

"Squeak! The mouse must be dreaming! What is this place!"

In front of Tail were all kinds of food. A large plate of sausages was hung on the wall like a coiled rope, dozens of smoked chickens were hung on two suspended ropes, a whole pig leg was placed straight on the chopping board, and several wheels of cheese were stacked side by side on the table in the corner.

Even in the room of the human family where Tail lived when he was young, he had never seen so much food!

"It seems to be a food storage room. It seems that your companions really found a good place to dig a hole."

"Squeak, it smells good. This place is really great! This mouse will live here in the future and won't go anywhere else!"

What about your wife and children? You don't care about them?

Noshier sighed in his heart about this scum mouse, and at this moment, Tail suddenly said to Noshier in his consciousness.

"Squeak, strange, where are my competitors? Why haven't I seen any mice yet? Not even in the cave just now, and the smell has become very faint. They seem to have disappeared for a long time."

No mice?

"Be careful, Tail, for this to happen, either the cat is really powerful, or this family has other ways to catch mice. Unfortunately, these two possibilities are fatal to you."
