Chapter 2960 Arrival at the Main Hall
At this time, Angel and Rabbit Chacha were between a tree and a wall.
Behind the wall was a corridor about ten meters long, and the end of the corridor led directly to the main hall of the castle's main building. The three places Julie suggested, whether it was the storage room, study or treasure house, were all near the main building.
"Where are you going first?" After making sure there was no one around, Rabbit Chacha looked at Angel.
Do you choose the storage room? Study or treasure house? Angel had no idea in his mind, so he could only throw the question back to Rabbit Cha Cha: "What suggestions do you have?"
"My suggestions?" Rabbit Cha Cha touched his beard and whispered: "I suggest you explore the treasure house last. It's in the basement, where the security is the most stringent. If you want to sneak in, you have to go a long way and sneak in through the ventilation duct."
"It depends on your intention to explore the storage room and the study first."
Rabbit Cha Cha said this, raised his head and looked at the main building...
Because this is an open-air pond in the castle, you can see the nearby castle buildings from here, and the closest one is undoubtedly the main building.
"The only light on upstairs is the study of Earl Black Tea." Rabbit Cha Cha whispered.
Angel followed its guidance. The main building is still dark in color, tall and simple as a whole, and looks both magnificent and quiet in the night.
The first floor of the main building is connected to the main hall, so the situation is currently unknown. But the second, third and fourth floors of the main building each have windows. As for the fifth floor, it is a protruding terrace.
The windows on the fourth floor are open, and you can see a faint red light inside. It is also the only room in the main building with light.
Angel: "The study is on the fourth floor?"
Rabbit Cha Cha nodded: "Yes, so if we want to go to the study, we have to go up the stairs on the left side of the main hall and go all the way to the fourth floor."
Angel: "Go up the stairs? Will it be dangerous?"
With their current height, it is unknown how long it will take to climb one floor. If they encounter servants on the way, they can't run away.
Rabbit Cha Cha patted Angel on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I am very familiar with the distribution in the castle, and there are very few servants who can cross floors."
According to Rabbit Cha Cha's observation, there are puppet maids on every floor, but they generally don't cross floors because their body structure makes it difficult to jump.
And there are only three types of servants who can easily cross floors: puppet tea servants, puppet guards, and puppet chefs.
Most of the puppet guards have been taken away by the Earl of Black Tea. The remaining guards are now basically guarding on the outer city walls and the moat. There are a few lonely guards who are also in the living building and will not come to the main building.
So, there is no need to worry about the puppet guards.
The puppet chef and the puppet tea servant are complementary. The chef's kitchen is on the right side of the main hall. Generally speaking, without the order of the Earl of Black Tea, the chef will not go upstairs and will only stay in the kitchen.
The meals prepared by the chef will be handed over to the puppet tea servant, who will bring them to the Earl of Black Tea and serve the Earl for dinner.
For this reason, the tea servant and the chef complement each other. If the chef does not cook, the tea servant will not go upstairs.
Now that the Earl of Black Tea has left and will not come back in a short time, the chef and the tea servant do not have to worry too much.
In summary, as long as they carefully avoid the patrolling maids on each floor, they can boldly walk up the stairs.
After talking about the study, Rabbit Cha Cha also talked about the storage room.
The storage room is the closest, it is behind the kitchen on the right side of the main hall.
However, to reach the storage room, you must pass through the main hall and the kitchen. There must be a puppet maid in the main hall, and there are chefs and tea servants in the kitchen. Although it is close, it is also dangerous.
After introducing these three main locations, Rabbit Cha Cha asked again: "Have you decided now?"
Angel thought for a while: "Whether you go to the study or the storage room, you will definitely encounter servants?"
Rabbit Cha Cha nodded: "Yes, but you don't have to be too afraid of those servants. Wasn't the maid just near us? In the end, nothing was found."
As long as they hide well, hide in the blind spot of the servants' vision, they can avoid it.
However, all this is based on the situation that the servants are not alert.
Once the servants find something wrong and start to be alert, it will be difficult for them to avoid the servants by simply blocking the perspective.
In other words, no matter where they choose to go, they must avoid it perfectly, otherwise the subsequent trouble will be great.
Angel was silent for a moment: "Let's go to the storage room first."
Rabbit Chacha smiled: "Actually, this is what I thought. Although you have to go through the main hall and the kitchen to get to the storage room, there are many furnishings in these two places, and it is easiest to hide your body. You can also take this opportunity to learn how to hide so that the servants won't find you."
Speaking of this, Rabbit Chacha began to brag about his experiences again.
There are many things about these experiences that confuse Angel. For example, Rabbit Chacha said that he once hid behind a maid, and when the maid turned around, he also turned around, so he successfully blocked the view... This experience sounds more like a pantomime or a comedy, and its authenticity is questionable.
Although Angel doubts this experience, one thing can be known from these experiences: as long as the servants are not alerted, their field of vision will be very small, and the difficulty of infiltration is estimated to be that of a third-rate thief. But if the servants are alert and realize that something is wrong, the difficulty of infiltration will skyrocket, directly reaching a level that even a peerless thief will find difficult to escape.
So, in summary, be cautious and cautious. Once a mistake is made, even if it is just accidentally leaving traces and being discovered by the servants, it may lead to the loss of the whole game.
Thinking of this, Angel lowered his head and looked at his feet, then looked at the way he came, and made sure that there were no footprints left, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's go to the main hall first." After saying that, Rabbit Chacha started to climb up the tree.
Angel was stunned for a moment. Didn't he go to the main hall? Why did he climb up the tree?
Rabbit Chacha: "Although it is close to go directly to the main hall, there is no place to hide in that corridor. If you meet a servant, you will be face to face directly. So, we have to go around."
Angel thought for a while, but did not refute, and followed Rabbit Chacha to start climbing the tree.
This tree has many branches, so don’t worry about not having a place to rest. In addition, the tree is covered by walls on all sides and is not disturbed by wild winds, so climbing is relatively smooth.
After a few minutes, they reached the middle part of the tree. Rabbit Chacha stopped and pointed to a branch extending above the corridor: "Let's go this way."
Clinging to the branches, they successfully jumped to the tile roof above the corridor.
Just as they jumped onto the tile roof, the familiar crunching footsteps came from the corridor below. It was likely that another maid was coming.
Angel now understood what Rabbit Chacha said before. If they didn't take a detour and walked through the corridor, they would probably come face to face with the maid, and the fun would be over by then.
And now, they were lying at the top of the corridor. Through the bricks and tiles, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the servants.
After waiting quietly for a moment, the maid's footsteps walked away, probably to the side building.
"There are patrol maids on each floor. The one below is probably the patrol maid on the first floor." Rabbit Chacha whispered: "Be careful, the patrol maid's perception is only weaker than the puppet guards."
Soon, the footsteps of the patrol maid sounded again. She would patrol to the wing, but not go up to the wing.
After the footsteps of the patrolling maid disappeared in the main hall, Rabbit Chacha said: "This is only the first floor. If you want to go to the study in the future, you must pay attention to each floor and try to avoid straight corridors, otherwise it is easy to fall into Dangerous situation."
Angel nodded.
This is an alternative "Dead by Daylight" game, where no flaws can be discovered.
"Let's keep walking."
Rabbit Chacha took Angel and walked ten meters at the top of the corridor to the end. At the end is a slope, and above the slope is a wall, but there are long and small openings in this wall.
Colored glass pieces are installed in each of these large and small holes. Obviously, this is an internal decoration.
Rabbit Chacha got into the hole of the white glass piece very skillfully, and when he gently opened it, a passable hole was revealed.
Behind this hole is the main hall inside the castle.
However, at this time, the inside of the cave cannot be seen because it is blocked by a curtain.
This is also the reason why Rabbit Chacha opened the hole loudly, because he knew there was a curtain behind it and he didn't have to worry about being discovered immediately.
After getting inside, Chacha took out the white glass piece again to seal the hole.
"We are at a high place now, so we can observe the situation in the main hall first and determine the location of the maid before going down." Rabbit Tea said.
Angel also had this intention.
Rabbit Chacha fumbled around and took out a monocle from his pocket. Then he quietly opened the corner of the curtain and took a look at the main hall. Soon, the rabbit Chacha shrank back.
"The main door has been opened. I guess the patrol maid has gone outside. There are two maids in the main hall. Their situation... I can't tell for the moment. You can see for yourself."
After that, Rabbit Chacha handed the monocle to Angel and explained how to use it.
This monocle is a normal monocle without any special functions. But here, it can play a good role.
All the puppet servants in Black Tea Castle are very sensitive to sight. If Angel and Rabbit Chacha look directly at each other, they will probably be discovered by the servants in a few seconds. Even if they observe without any malicious intent, they cannot stop their natural line of sight radar.
The best way is to observe through a layer of mirror.
Even the most basic mirror can reduce the probability of being discovered by puppet servants. Generally speaking, as long as you look at the puppet servant through the glasses and don't keep looking at it for ten or twenty seconds, there is no problem.
However, Rabbit Chacha only had a monocle in his hand, so he still had to pay some attention when observing. For example, he had to squint one eye.
At this moment, Angel squinted one eye and quietly poked his head out from the side of the curtain.
Through the lenses, Angel quickly took in the situation in the main hall.
Their location was where the main hall and the corridor connected. There were two red curtains hanging down. Directly in front of them are gorgeous sofas and carpets with very vibrant colors.
Low tables, tea tables, velvet rugs, porcelain, tapestries... the furnishings in the main hall are undoubtedly gorgeous, but also vulgar. The only thing that can be said about the style of the entire main hall is that there are teapot patterns everywhere. Is this a characteristic of the teapot country?
Apart from the style, what caught Angel's attention was the front of the main hall. This is usually the core location. Nobles like to hang their own portraits, and some also like to display their treasured collections here.
The Earl of Black Tea is obviously the latter. In this core position, there is a base carved from very expensive wood, and on top of the base is the Earl of Black Tea's collection: a fancy square teapot.
At least, in Angel's opinion, it was very flashy, almost as flashy as Rabbit Chacha's clothes.
Perhaps this is the hobby of the people of the Teapot Kingdom, who like this kind of jumping color?
Apart from the furnishings, the most noteworthy thing in the main hall is the two maids.
Angel had previously wondered why Rabbit Chacha didn't know how to describe them when he talked about them. Angel himself didn't understand what they were doing.
One of the maids stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking like a guard, but its long snake-like neck was in the shape of a right angle, bending into the small window on the right side of the main hall.
What exactly I'm doing... I don't know.
However, the right side of the main hall is the kitchen, so the maid stuck her head into the kitchen?
Maybe chatting with the chef in the kitchen? In other words, are you stealing snacks?
Either way, it's a good thing for them anyway. Because when they are not on alert, these puppet servants rely on their eyes to see, and their field of vision is very narrow. Since the maid's head has been extended into the side room, she will definitely not be able to take care of the main hall.
Another maid, holding something similar to a feather duster in her hand, was wiping the porcelain decorations. But this was just the movement of its hands. Its head also stretched out, like a snake, constantly snaking on the ground.
Angel thought the maid was cleaning at first, but when she excitedly shot out her long tongue and swallowed a cockroach, Angel fell silent.
I bet this guy is also hunting for wild food.
This is not easy to deal with...
After all, the other party was seriously searching for cockroaches, and they were actually not much bigger than cockroaches at this time. If the other party kept searching for cockroaches in the corner, they might be able to find them.
Angel quietly withdrew his head and told Rabbit Chacha what he thought.
Rabbit Chacha pondered for a moment and said: "As long as the first maid doesn't move her head, we don't have to worry about it. At least we can leave it alone for the time being before entering the kitchen. As for the second maid, we can do this..."
