Chapter 161 I Was Locked Inside
With the activation of the psychic vision, Amber's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of canvas.
On this layer of 'canvas', all the creatures around were clearly marked.
In other words, Amber can now see the biological activities inside the wall, even inside the manor building.
As we all know, Xiaotou is not a cheat.
So Amber used the psychic vision to locate the positions of all patrol personnel inside the wall with peace of mind, then stepped back a few steps and then used a short run to directly climb over the nearly 5-meter-high iron fence with his hands and feet.
Under the control of psychic energy, he landed without making any noise.
Even a specially trained fighting dog nearby just raised its head and looked over here in confusion, without barking.
The guard who was holding the dog just glanced curiously in the direction the fighting dog was looking.
In the end, he concluded that everything was normal, and then led the dog to another place.
"Isa, something is not right. Do you usually arrange so many guards?"
After waiting for the other guards to be gone, Amber could not help but whispered in the communication channel with a throat microphone.
It was because the guards inside the manor were too strict.
Generally speaking, the outer protection force is the most stringent.
Especially under the reconnaissance of multiple synchronous reconnaissance satellites and the physical isolation of the light curtain, ordinary spies and assassins can't touch the vicinity of the manor at all.
So in most of the nobles' family territories, especially near their family manors, the defense force is relatively weak.
After all, it is also the living area where these nobles stay every day. It is a bit of a bummer to have a large group of guards standing guard and patrolling all day long.
Not to mention the several heavy power armors at the gate. When they stand there, the retro, elegant and luxurious atmosphere of the whole manor disappears.
It looks more like a house raiding scene.
"I also find it strange. Our manor doesn't have so many guards at all. Even the secret sentries outside are at least twice as many as before, although the emblems on their combat uniforms are indeed our family emblems."
Isabel was also very puzzled. The reputation of the Ains family in the territory has always been quite good. They are the kind of nobles who are more humane.
In addition, the tourism and service industries on the planet have been vigorously developed. While protecting the environment, it has also increased the income of the people on the planet. Therefore, it is not like the territories of some nobles, where there are riots by "unruly people" every few days.
This also means that the Ains family does not need to be so wary of other people in their territory, and naturally does not need to build the family manor like a watchtower.
After all, in this era, if someone really beats you to the door of the family manor, it is basically a point where you can't turn the tide.
Retreating to the family manor will only make it easier for the enemy to wipe you out.
"These people don't look like ordinary noble private soldiers."
Amber walked around the main building of the manor. The alert guards and the patrol teams with neat steps told him that they looked more like some kind of elite troops.
"Combined with what happened in the terminal hall before, I have a bold idea that these people are likely to be mobile troops under the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"How could that be? Does that mean that the entire manor has been controlled by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Isabel's voice was a little anxious. The crisis facing the family seemed to have reached the most dangerous stage.
"It is very likely, but we still have to wait and find a way to verify it later. I will try to get into the building first. I will keep the radio silent later. Don't contact me actively unless it is an emergency. Wait for my news."
Amber paused and added:
"Isabel, adjust your mentality and do your job well. Don't be distracted at this time."
"Received, Amber, pay attention to safety, retreat in time when you encounter danger, don't be stubborn."
After hearing Isabel's reply, Amber seized the opportunity of a team of patrol soldiers entering the building and followed them in through the door they opened.
The last soldier in the team always felt as if someone was passing by him, but when he turned around and closed the door, he didn't see any suspicious people. There was no one hiding around in broad daylight.
He scratched his head in confusion, and then hurriedly followed the team forward.
Little did he know that Amber was not far behind them at this moment.
This team of soldiers seemed to have just changed shifts from outside. Perhaps to conceal their presence, their lounge was not outside, but in several connected guest rooms on the first floor of the main building.
After confirming the location of these soldiers who changed shifts, Amber left this area and walked towards the upper area.
There are so many guards deployed here in the manor, indicating that there must be important targets here that need to be guarded.
Amber guessed that it is very likely that Isabel's family members were all under house arrest inside the manor and were not moved to other places.
According to what Isabel told Amber before, her parents' master bedroom was at the end of the main corridor on the third floor of this four-story building.
In such a closed area full of enemies, Amber would naturally not waste time.
So after quickly confirming that the second floor was a rest area for another part of the defenders and a "command room" with various electronic equipment, he immediately went to the third floor.
As soon as he arrived at the corridor, Amber quickly saw the luxuriously decorated master bedroom door at the end of the corridor.
And the power armor guards at the door like two door gods.
"It's probably right here, but it's not easy to get in there with the door closed."
While thinking this, Amber saw a room in the corridor to her right.
According to Isabel's description, this should be his father's study.
After quietly walking over to confirm that there were no signs of biological activity inside, Amber carefully opened the door and walked in.
Fortunately, the daily maintenance of this manor was in place, and the door shaft was regularly maintained and oiled, so it opened smoothly without making any "creak" noise.
The study is also very tidy inside, with no signs of violence.
Amber walked to the desk, where there was an open book and a cup of steaming tea.
Everything looks like someone was sitting here reading a book just now.
Wait, someone was sitting here just now?
Could it be Isabel's father?
Amber was shocked. Just when he wanted to see if there were any more clues, Lilith, who had been immersed in it for a long time, suddenly said:
"Master, we just discovered through synchronous reconnaissance satellites that four aircraft have entered the exclusive area and are flying directly towards here."
Before he had time to check what Lilith said, a rhythmic tapping sound came from the communication channel.
That was the signal agreed with Isabel that urgent contact was needed.
"I'm here, I can talk now."
"Amber, several aircraft have just flown towards the manor. They should be at your place now."
As soon as Isabel finished speaking, Amber heard the roar of the aircraft outside the window.
He walked quickly to the bed, and these transport planes switched to vertical take-off and landing mode and landed directly at the gate of the manor.
Soon, several groups of escort soldiers and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes disembarked from the transport plane.
"Isabelle, what are the seven silver stars surrounding the golden dragon head and the red and white moons meeting each other?"
Amber is not proficient in the complicated heraldry in the game, so she can only turn to Isabel for help at this time.
"The first one sounds a bit like the Royal Guards, and the second one sounds a bit like the coat of arms of my mother's family?"
"Oh? Then I may know who this person is."
After ending the communication, Amber turned around and prepared to leave the study. After all, there were unidentified people staying here just now.
But fortunately, his psychic vision detected several people approaching quickly in the corridor outside.
It seemed that it was too late to go out. Even if no one could be seen, the sudden opening of the door would arouse others' suspicion.
Amber glanced left and right, then looked up.
"Tsk, this kind of Western-style building is still inconvenient, so you can't be a gentleman."
