Chapter 994 How to Sneak Into the Temple Association (5,000+)
Noon.
Tang En and Count Dino stayed in the Imperial Sanatorium for half a day and had lunch there before packing up and leaving in the afternoon.
Don't get me wrong, the discussion between Tang En and Wooding didn't last long, it only took half an hour in total. For the rest of the time, Count Dino told Wooding some historical events as usual. Tang En also listened quietly for a while, and then looked at Wooding, who looked melancholy from time to time, with a thoughtful expression——
What Count Dino said was not just random talk like a hammer in the east or a stick in the west. Instead, it strictly follows the timeline, describing the Bran Empire from scratch to about a thousand years of history. It is clearly organized and explained one by one in detail... Wooding's physical condition is incurable, and there is not much time left. If you guessed correctly, This move should be to use this method to have one last 'look' at the empire he has been protecting for most of his life...
There is nothing surprising. Old people have basically no worries. They are just afraid that their memories will be stranded.
But at the moment, for Tang En, it is also a thousand, let's say, .nsb.om kinds of cover-ups and disguises. We met as usual, told historical events as usual, and finally, naturally walked out of the Imperial Sanatorium and left the Royal Castle as usual... Update Chapter 994: How to Sneak into the Temple. On the way back, Tang En was a little silent in the car. Wasn't he continuing to lament Wu? Ding's slightly desolate evening scene, to be honest, there is nothing to be moved about. Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. As the person involved, Wooding saw clearly, so Tang En, an outsider, naturally had no reason to worry about it.
Tang En was just thinking about what Wooding had said before - to assassinate the Pope, others would have no hope, and they would not even be able to sneak into the Temple General Assembly. But rest on him. It is indeed somewhat possible...
Wooding's words are naturally not without purpose. Just talk about infiltration. With Tang En's basic skills as an assassin, he should be somewhat sure of sneaking into even the terrifying Temple Association - or should I say this, if there is anyone in this world who can successfully sneak into the Temple Association, then Tang En will definitely. It's one of them.
This is undoubtedly because of professionalism!
This was Tang En's previous plan. If he wanted to quietly rescue Xia Wei'an, of course he had to sneak into the temple headquarters first.
But things have changed now. Sneaking into the temple is no longer a winner, but a prerequisite. Killing the Pope is the key to solving the problem!
If there is anyone else in the world who can infiltrate the Temple Headquarters, besides Tang En. If you want to assassinate the Pope, only Twain has any hope of success... This is what Wooding said, and he also gave a reasonable explanation. Updated Chapter 994: How to sneak into the temple will always be because Tang En has the fastest attack speed!
A more detailed explanation is that on the territory of the Temple Association, if there is a head-on fight with the Pope who has the home field advantage, there is no hope at all. Because the longer the time drags on. The advantage of a pope with nearly unlimited power elements is even greater. At this point, even if Wooding comes in person with his sword. The result is the same.
Therefore, if you want to successfully kill the Pope, you must sneak attack, assassinate, and fight quickly!
After all, the Pope is old and has very little experience in dealing with people. His on-the-spot reaction will definitely not be much faster when encountering unexpected changes. He is probably no different from ordinary people. He should also be aware of this, so the Pope never leaves the Temple Council and never puts himself in a dangerous situation without protection.
And this is Tang En's opportunity! It’s an opportunity that only Tang En can operate!
He is a killer, an assassin. Proficient in infiltration and good at quick battles and decisive combat methods. As long as he can successfully sneak into the temple headquarters, find a way to get within three feet of the Pope, strike violently, and seize the instant opportunity before the Pope can react, he may not be able to kill him with one blow...
Of course, things are always easier than done, let alone assassinating the Pope who controls the Millennium Temple, or on someone else's territory... The probability of success is too low, too low, so low that it can be ignored...
…
"Xiao Tang, look at our next itinerary..."
"Huh? Oh..." In the carriage, looking at the Royal Castle far behind, the frightened Count Dino finally regained his composure and took the lead in breaking the silence in the carriage. And Tang En, who was sitting opposite and had been frowning silently, raised his head blankly, his eyes were in a daze, and he obviously didn't hear what he asked clearly, "I'm sorry, Earl, what did you just say?"
Count Dino didn't pay attention and waved his hand and said: "That's it. After meeting the Lord Sword God, Sir Philip will take time to come to my manor to meet you again, but it will be in the evening. So for this half day in the afternoon... I will first Shall I take you back to the manor and wait? Or should you, Xiao Tang, follow me to the Imperial Archives Department and stay there for a while?"
"Go to the Imperial Archives Department." Tang En pondered for a moment, instantly understood the other person's thoughts, and smiled politely, "I'm sorry to bother you, Lord Count."
Acting in full package. After all, Tang En is a new face, and now he has shown his face again in the Imperial Sanatorium. In order to prevent interested people from investigating, it is natural to show his face in the Imperial Archives Department again, from beginning to end. This is the safest way.
"Haha, it's not troublesome, it should, it should... Then let's go to the Imperial Archives Department now? Don't worry, I've made arrangements there, and there won't be any mistakes." Count Dino was overjoyed when he heard this. In fact, it was very important to him. This is the best result, because once the authenticity of Tang En's identity is doubted, Tang En can walk away, but he, a man with a name and a family, cannot escape being implicated.
With this interruption, Tang En stopped thinking about the problem just now. After all, judging from the current actual situation, assassinating the Pope is still very far away. How to sneak into the temple now is still unclear... Picking up a corner of the curtain cloth in the car, Tang En looked around. The terrain and environment were familiar, and something came to his mind. A vague place name, it seems to be a commercial street...
However, compared to the grand scene I saw the last time I came here, the streets and shops today are obviously much deserted. It's noon, and it's the prosperous capital. It should be the time when the flow of people and cars is the densest, but now at a glance, there are more people riding horses than cars on the street, and there are more people wearing armor than ordinary people walking on the street. They are walking in a hurry, and there is a tense and solemn atmosphere.
Just when Tang En shook his head and lowered the car curtain, suddenly, the speed of the car speeding beneath him slowed down significantly. Horses whinnyed through the window.
"Damn it! Check again. Endless." Count Dino's face suddenly darkened. Complained quietly.
Tang En shrugged, didn't say anything, and didn't take it to heart. They had already encountered this situation many times, and it was nothing more than stopping for random inspections. Fortunately, it is daytime now, so the inspection intensity is obviously much weaker. You must know that when they come in the morning, they basically stop every ten minutes, which is truly endless.
Lean slightly. The carriage came to a complete standstill. Then the clatter of horse hooves approached, and two polite knocks came from outside the car window.
"Guard Dragon Riders."
Count Dino muttered, his expression obviously relaxed. As mentioned before, there are two main censorship forces in the capital. One is the guard dragon cavalry, which is similar to the guard cavalry in ordinary cities. The second is the Royal Guard, from the Royal Castle. The former's power and authority are much lower than that of the latter, so their attitude is relatively mild. Specifically, when inspecting glaring vehicles, they usually only knock on the windows and look through the curtains. If it's the latter, it's hard to say. Even though he knew he was an imperial official, he still had to open the car door.
"Excuse me. Routine inspection...Hey, Lord Earl Dino?"
"Uh, you are..."
"Dragon Cavalry Brigade of the Second Department of the Capital City Security Department, Bernie. Due to your responsibilities, I ask for your cooperation and understanding."…
"Oh, it's Captain Bernie. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. Please check." Although he was very impatient with the endless inspections before, when the car windows were lowered and he really faced the inspectors, Dino said The count's attitude was still very good, and his words were polite and gentle. There is no other way, the county magistrate might as well take charge now.
The capable middle-aged man named Bernie didn't hesitate. He said he didn't dare, but his sharp eyes scanned the inner wall of the car back and forth, and finally settled on Tang En, who looked up, and met the latter's slightly surprised look.
"Who is this..." It was not Bernie who asked, but a strong, one-eyed man behind Bernie who was rubbing his red nose. He looked at Tang En and suddenly asked.
"Isvin, Historian of the Imperial Archives Department." Tang En blinked, glanced at Bernie and the one-eyed man, and introduced him proactively.
"It turns out to be Mr. Isvin, hello, hello." Bernie greeted politely.
When Count Dino heard this, he looked at Tang En in surprise. You must know that he took the initiative to introduce him when he encountered inspections before... He didn't think too much, and looked at Bernie reservedly: "There are only two of us here. That’s it, Captain Bernie...do you want to come in and check?"
"Haha, no need, no need." Laughing and waving, Bernie glanced at the one-eyed man, who nodded slightly and waved directly, "Let it go. Well, I'm sorry, Lord Dino."
"It's okay. You all have responsibilities as well. Now the defense of the city depends entirely on you..."
…
A few polite words were exchanged, the windows were closed, and the carriage slowly started to move forward.
"What, Xiao Tang, do you know that Captain Bernie just now?" Looking at Tang En who once again opened the curtains and looked behind him with squinted eyes, Count Dino couldn't help but wonder.
"We know each other." After a slight pause, Tang En didn't hide anything, and sighed softly with a strange expression, "Old acquaintance, but I haven't seen you for a long time..."
It's true that they are old acquaintances, and it's true that they haven't seen each other for a long time.
The strong middle-aged man is named Bernie, and the one-eyed man who habitually rubs his red nose is named Powers.
It was the gang members, assassins and other evil combinations in Laiyan City that were feared by people in the underground world. They were also the two guys who gave Tang En a lot of headaches in the early stages of his arrival in the other world. This situation continued until Tang En's strength improved and the two sides cooperated to trap a bounty hunter master, and the relationship between them eased slightly.
But at about that time, Tang En stopped dealing with the other party. I always thought that these two people should still be in a certain city in the north at this time, continuing to work together as their director of security and chief of cavalry. I never thought that they would actually come to the southern capital, and they bumped into him on the road by chance. …
Thinking again about Tang En's general trajectory after arriving in another world, Xiaoshi Village, Laiyan City, the North, and now Brandu City, the other party actually participated in most of it. Such a coincidence encounter really makes people wonder. Feeling that we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away? Enemies are still on a narrow road...
But one thing can be confirmed, that is, when they meet again in a different place, the identity, state of mind, strength, etc. of both parties are no longer the same as before.
To give an obvious example, I still remember when Tang En disguised himself in front of Powers for the first time, he was immediately noticed by the other party. But now Tang En was sitting calmly, looking at each other with Powers with interest from a mere ten feet away. The latter was completely indifferent. No flaws were found.
What a difference...
All right. Tang En felt a little happy in his heart. It’s similar to the feeling of returning home in glory and honor. It's also similar to the feeling of seeing the little boss who tortured you to death when you reach the full level in an online game and return to the novice village.
ha--
Okay, back to the topic.
The carriage arrived at the Imperial Archives Department. After Tang En showed his face again, he naturally would not stay there for long. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Count Dino took him back to the manor to meet with Jack, Harry and others who had come earlier in the morning.
The next step was naturally to wait for Phillip to come over and meet. This kid asked someone to invite him over so seriously. The picture is definitely not small. In addition, the capital city is his home court, and they can feel much more relaxed with him in Down En. Moreover, the temple is always not far from here, and he must be familiar with it. In short, the next actions will definitely be useful to him.
Of course, just waiting is not an option. In the side hall arranged by Count Dino, everyone gathered together and laid out maps and relevant information. Tang En briefly relayed Wooding's suggestions. The action plan to assassinate the Pope officially kicked off.
"Assassinating the Pope...Boss, do we have to play this big?"
How else can we say what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers? After Tang En changed the purpose of the trip, everyone was silent for a while. Harry couldn't hold his forehead and sighed exactly the same words as Tang En before.
"Nonsense! What do you think I think? Isn't this being forced into helplessness?" Tang En rolled his eyes, glanced at the speechless people around him, waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this, first think about how to sneak into the temple headquarters. Say it again."
It has to be said that no one present is timid. Not to mention the gray space, it was trained and taught by Tang En. I don’t know how to write the word "fear". Jack is also a fierce man who can pick locks and sneak into thousands of houses. As long as there is enough profit, he dares to steal the gallows. Not to mention the remaining Owens, who is currently having a lively fight with the temple, so naturally he will not be afraid of his old club... The shocking news that such a group of weirdos gathered together to assassinate the Pope was digested and absorbed in a moment.
Immediately, lively discussions about the feasibility of the plan began.
"It doesn't seem difficult to look at the map... The temple will always be placed on an isolated island, surrounded by water. It seems that there is no way through, but isn't the waterway the biggest flaw? How about we dive there?"
"The area is a bit big and the distance is too far. Can you swim across it?"
"We can't swim across, but the boss can definitely do it."
"That's right..."
"No!" When everyone quickly came up with the first feasible plan for discussion, Owens suddenly spoke up and simply frowned and rejected it, "It's not always that simple to sneak into the temple, at least diving there is definitely not feasible. You may not know, The temple is always surrounded by boundless waters. Except for the waters near both banks, there are no decent small fish anywhere else. Do you know why?"
Looking around, "Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless magic traps set up by the temple under the water. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hellish magma. Anyone who wants to dive into it will definitely die!"
"Fuck, so cruel?"
"It's conceivable. After all, the thousand-year energy is there. If you really dive there, the temple will have been stolen countless times." Jack gave a professional evaluation based on his own professional field.
"So it doesn't work in the air?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The people in the temple are not blind. If they fly over in the air, they will be bombarded to pieces."
"What about using space means? Can't the boss teleport?"
Tang En's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he touched his chin thoughtfully and looked at Owens.
Unfortunately, Owens shook his head again: "The temple association does not have a locked space, because there is a teleportation array to operate on the island. However, there are too many magicians inside the association, and any space fluctuation on the island cannot escape them. His keen sense will still have to be exposed when the time comes.”
Harry scratched his head: "What the hell... it doesn't work underwater, in the air, or in space, so how can I sneak in?"
Tang En looked at the map and thought for a while, then asked: "Owens, how do the clergy on the island contact the outside world? Are they all using teleportation arrays?"
"Of course that's impossible. The cost of each teleportation array is huge. Even if the temple has a thousand years of foundation, it can't withstand such consumption." Owens shook his head, pointed to the map and said, "There are four large towers in four directions on the island. There are even more piers on the opposite side of the lake. Boats come and go from both sides, and there are fixed trips every day to send people back and forth.”…
Snapped! As soon as he finished speaking, Harry slammed his palm: "Is there a ship? That's easy to handle. As long as we control a few clerics of equal size, how about we board the ship directly with a slight disguise?"
"Hey, this is an idea. With us, no, with the boss's level of disguise, the other party will never be able to see the flaw."
"It's not that easy..." Owens smiled bitterly and waved his hands regretfully, once again destroying everyone's confidence, "I admit that Tang En's level of disguise is very high, and it can almost look real. Judging from the physical appearance alone, the people in the temple are not the same. There will be clues. But..."
After a pause, Owens spread his hands and said, "Who else here except me can cast light magic? Who can use sacred fighting energy?"
Tang En frowned: "You mean, when they check the true identity, they look at who has light magic elements or sacred fighting energy elements?"
Owens nodded: "Yes, and not everyone can enter the temple. In other words, the clergy who can stay on the island and come and go freely, whether they are warriors or magicians, have their fighting spirit and magic attributes in the temple." Record. After this inspection, there is basically no possibility of error."
Everyone was completely speechless when they heard this. This was guarded to the teeth. It's hard to even get close to such a weird place, let alone sneak in and cause damage.
For a moment, Harry frowned: "Is there not a single successful case? Has no outsider successfully infiltrated the Temple Association in a thousand years?"
"This...should be there. But I don't know for a long time. I only know that someone broke into the Temple Association last year and caused quite a disturbance."
"Oh? How did he get in?" Everyone became excited after hearing this.
"Previously, there was a remote teleportation array at the Northern Temple Association, which could be transmitted directly into the interior of the Temple Association. He entered through this method, and then before the temple could react, he split open the outer defense shield of the Association with a knife and walked away. "After a pause, Owens looked at the shocked people and spread his hands, "Although the temple has no evidence and he didn't admit it...but that person should be the sword god Wooding."
"Depend on--"
