Chapter 197 Night Visit to the Palace
Ignoring the many defense procedures of the Severn Palace, Maiev directly entered the Severn Palace with Flash. However, after Maiev entered, Yu Fei realized that he had not considered a problem. That is, the palace is so big, where is the place where the royal family of the Severn Kingdom stores data? ! In the hotel, Yu Fei sat up from the bed and looked at the palace speechlessly.
Forget it, I originally wanted Maiev to come quietly and leave quietly, waving the ratchet without taking away a cloud. It seems that I have to leave some traces now. I have to catch someone to ask for directions. Maiev's eyes flashed coldly and received Yu Fei's order. There is no way. Although Maiev has high wisdom, like Tyrande, when she is not on her own, her judgment ability is relatively poor. So at this moment, Yu Fei can only command.
Walking through the corridors and paths of the palace, Maiev did not care about the palace maids or guards coming and going in them. However, every few minutes, she would stop for a few seconds, wait for a mysterious wave to sweep by, and then continue to move forward - this was naturally the spell of the royal family mage in the palace to scan for abnormal fluctuations.
Finally, after wandering around the palace for a while, Maiev finally found a lonely palace maid in a hurry. Yu Fei, who was already a little impatient, ordered Maiev to knock the palace maid unconscious and take her to a hidden corner. This corner was found by Maiev when she was wandering around the palace just now, and no one had passed by for a long time.
After a long time, the palace maid slowly woke up and looked around in confusion. However, before she could see the surrounding environment clearly, a cold voice sounded in her ears: "If you want to live, just listen to me quietly, and then answer my questions honestly, and don't do anything else."
Yu Fei did not let Maiev show up, but "interrogated" the palace maid in a permanent invisible state. After all, it was too strange for an elf to appear in the palace of a human kingdom. Generally speaking, if he didn't show his body, the people of the Severn Kingdom would think that the person who sneaked into the palace was a spy from another country, and would not associate it with another race.
As for the fact that the voice did not change, it was naturally to cover up Yu Fei himself. Maiev's voice was a female voice at first glance - and a beautiful woman. Although Yu Fei's voice was a standard voice, it was obviously a male voice if he spoke with a rough voice. Although the possibility of being suspected was extremely small, he would do the necessary cover if he could. Maiev could be in a state of invisibility forever, without worrying about exposing his whereabouts, but he was different.
Although Yu Fei's elven king clone also had the talent of shadow escape because it was modulated with the body of a night elf, this talent of appearing as soon as it moved could only play a certain role in specific circumstances, and it was not very helpful for Yu Fei's actions in the human world. In fact, Yu Fei was now worried about how to hide his identity as a night elf. It was not a good thing to always be covered in a magic robe. Just like when Yu Fei was certified as a Cloud Mage in Stanwei City before, if he was not a Cloud Mage, he would definitely not be allowed to not show his face.
Hiding one's face in a magic robe is indeed a way to hide one's identity, but it is impossible to do so all the time. In some situations, Yu Fei cannot hide his face from others. For example, in the future, Yu Fei plans to use this Cloud Mage identity to obtain a title and a territory in the human empire. At that time, it is impossible for him to not show his face at the enthronement ceremony, right? If he really does not show his face, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Perhaps he should find something like a disguise to "transform" his face - except for the ears, the face that turns people upside down should also be made more normal. Bah, bah, bah, he ran away again, but now he is interrogating this palace maid. Shaking his head, Yu Fei continued to convey information to Maiev, asking Maiev to ask the palace maid questions according to what he said.
After hearing what Maiev said, the palace maid shuddered and quickly glanced around her, but did not find anyone. Encountered the undead? The maid thought. No, it should be a thief! After all, she was a well-trained maid in the palace. She quickly calmed down and made her own judgment.
Maiev's voice was female, so the maid felt more at ease, at least she would not encounter that kind of thing. The calm maid was very sensible and did not ask back, but waited for Maiev's next words. At this time, Maiev began to ask various questions to the maid under Yu Fei's guidance, but the basis of the questions was of course based on "the news is from the palace, but the life is your own".
Ten minutes later, the maid lay quietly in this corner of the palace. According to Maiev's ruthlessness, she would have to lie down at least until tomorrow morning, by which time Maiev would probably have retired. Anyway, it's already night now, and the maid should have no work, and disappearing for a while won't cause any trouble.
Coincidentally, this maid is a maid on duty at the Royal Library of the Kingdom of Severn - unlike the Royal Library on the surface, the files and information in this Royal Library are even more secretive. In addition to some expired but still valuable documents from the Kingdom of Severn, most of them contain information about secrets on the continent. The contents of this royal database are mostly for the princes and princesses of the royal family to broaden their horizons and gain more knowledge. Usually, there are very few people in it, which is just right for Maiev to slowly search for the information Yu Fei needs.
Perhaps Maiev could not find what Yu Fei needed in one night, but Yu Fei planned to stay in the capital for three days, which was enough time to find the information he needed. As for the maid reporting her experience to the royal family after waking up, Yu Fei was not worried at all.
Firstly, whether the maid dared to report was a problem - if the royal family knew that she had leaked a lot of information in the palace, they would definitely deal with her, and the best outcome would be to be expelled from the palace. Secondly, when Yu Fei asked Maiev to ask questions, he deliberately asked many irrelevant questions in addition to asking about the information in the data room. Even if the maid reported to the royal family, I am afraid that the royal family would at most strengthen the overall defense, and would not make a fuss in the royal data room.
And even if the arrangement was more rigorous, it would be nothing to Maiev, who had permanent invisibility, shadow escape and flashing skills. Besides, even if she was discovered, what would happen? With Maiev's current strength that could compete with ordinary epic masters, could the Severn Kingdom still keep her? If necessary, there is also a Yu Fei who is of similar strength to support~~
The guards in the Wang family's data room are still relatively strict, but this is nothing to Maiev. The cooling time of the flash is relatively short, and it can be used after such a long time. With a flash, Maiev directly jumped to the inside of the data room. Unlike the data room of the Blackwood City Magic Guild, this Wang family data room is built underground, not in the attic.
Compared with the data room of the Blackwood City Magic Guild, this data room is much larger. Although there are also three floors, each floor underground is very large and filled with countless bookshelves. A glimmer of light that ordinary people cannot see flashed, and Maiev just appeared between two bookshelves. Seeing that there was a certain magical aura flashing on these bookshelves, Yu Fei immediately understood that there were some magic arrays on them to prevent dust and insects.
Yu Fei did not plan to let Maiev search one by one, otherwise ten days might not be enough. The books in the royal archives were also classified. Maiev quickly came to the second floor of the underground archives and found a pile of bookshelves storing strange stories on the continent. With Maiev as the medium, Yu Fei was also able to release the mind reading technique - after all, this was only a spiritual spell. If he wanted to use Maiev to release spells such as leaf dance or vines, it would be impossible.
However, on this night, although Yu Fei used the mind reading technique to read more than all the books in the archives of the Blackwood City Magic Guild, he still did not find the specific information of the Eternal Heart. However, in addition to this, Yu Fei did learn a lot of information about the Kingdom of Severn, such as the strength of the army, the number and strength of the guest officials, etc.
When the three moons of Eslazer gradually fell to the west, Maiev left the Severn Palace. There was no way. Shadow Escape lost its effect during the day. With only the effect of permanent invisibility at the first level, Maiev did not have the confidence to not be discovered by the royal wizard's detection every once in a while. It was still a flash, and Maiev left the palace leisurely.
At this time, there were still many carriages passing through the noble area outside the palace - and these were actually nobles who went home to rest after the nightlife. After Maiev returned to the hotel, Yu Fei tidied up and prepared to go out. Although he missed the life of a otaku, it was still suspicious if he didn't go out all the time.
After quietly wandering around this huge city for half a day, Yu Fei finally couldn't stand the noisy environment and returned to his room in the hotel. In the remaining half a day, Yu Fei sorted out the information that Maiev obtained last night, which would be of great help to the night elves in their future attack on the Kingdom of Severn.
Soon, the sky darkened again, and Maiev went out again. Passing through the noble area and coming to the outside of the palace, Maiev observed the layout of the palace today. After some investigation, Maiev found that compared with yesterday, the defense of the palace was not strengthened today - it seemed that the maid did not report what happened to her yesterday to the upper level.
The heart relaxed a little, and with a flash, Maiev entered the palace. Then, she came to the outside of the Wang family database and quickly entered the data room.
