Chapter 475 Shadows
Tuscarola understood perfectly well that the person to be assassinated this time was a lord.
Revealing one's strength to the enemy too early is not a wise decision.
Although she wasn't as smart as Anne, she wasn't stupid either.
If he lets those idiots follow him, they will most likely be discovered by the army on the plains.
If they were to face that troublesome female warrior they were talking about, Tuscarola would probably have to make a move beforehand.
Of course, with her around, the coalition's chances of winning will increase significantly.
Although Tuscarola thought he would lose to the female warrior, it was best to be cautious.
If the other party escapes and takes away Tuscarola's information, she might as well not gather any information at all and go straight to assassinate the duchess.
Ah, of course, this is actually the best way to suit Tuscarola's preferences.
Gathering intelligence is such a pain!
She likes to be straightforward.
Tuscarola is currently alone, so there's no way she could be discovered.
Moreover, she activated her abilities.
Tuscarola constructed two magic circles, using the shimmering light to refract the light.
In this way, unless viewed from a specific angle, no one can see her.
In other words, Tuscarola is currently almost invisible.
Unfortunately, Tuscarola only has two hands, which means she can only construct two magic circles at the same time; otherwise, she would have been able to achieve complete invisibility.
But if Aaron found out about what I did, I would definitely be severely scolded.
The power of "The Knot of the Clouds" is not protected by the principle of unity.
Constructing two magic circles simultaneously is extremely dangerous; if she hadn't mastered mind magic, she would have faced a huge risk of losing control.
Even with the protection of mind magic, it is not advisable to perform more complex magical acts.
In short, Tuscarola successfully reached the outskirts of Flying Car Town.
Unfortunately, not only did the enemy fail to spot her, but the Allied forces did as well.
The thought of having to give a lengthy explanation, and having many weapons pointed at me, is daunting.
Tuscarola felt a headache coming on and let out a deep sigh.
Rather than doing that, it's better to sneak into the town secretly.
This was not a difficult task for Tuscarola.
In fact, she feels that her skills have improved recently.
She is learning and mastering the remaining parts of "The Knot of the Cloud Realm".
This part is significantly more difficult.
In the past, the Mirror of the Clouds used by Tuscarola was always square.
But from now on, the Radiant Realm can no longer construct squares; it can be any shape, as long as Tuscarola can imagine it.
It doesn't even have to be a plane; lines or even blocks are fine too.
Provided that Tuscarola has enough imagination and mental strength, and possesses the essential language to transform imagination into magic, and can construct the magic circle flawlessly, she can even create a three-dimensional humanoid figure.
Therefore, Tuscarola has plenty of ways to use the not-so-strong defenses of the Misty Realm to cross them.
After entering the city, Tuscarola, following Freud's instructions, found the army commander stationed in the city.
After handing Freud's credentials to the army commander who called himself a count, the man looked at Tuscarola suspiciously.
However, his manners are far superior to those of Freud and Hiram.
Tuscarola sensed his distrust but remained silent.
Only after he had completely read the letter did he ask Tuscarola, "So, you are the assassin?"
Tuscarola nodded.
"I'll ask around for you," the Earl said. "Flying Car Town is indeed a decent rest stop and transit point, of course, before you were surrounded by that group of women's soldiers. I can't believe you were able to evade the enemy's eyes and come to this town, and even avoid the sentries I arranged."
Tuscarola doesn't dislike polite people, but of course, she absolutely dislikes Asians.
But since the other party spoke so kindly, Tuscarola decided to reciprocate.
But how should I answer that?
Anne had taught Tuscarola that adding metaphors to language would make speech exceptionally vivid.
But is being vivid enough? Tuscarola wasn't sure, but decided to give it a try.
Her eyes darted around quickly, and she immediately found a good metaphor: "Assassins are like shadows; they are always overlooked, yet they are everywhere."
"Well said. As expected of a member of that assassin organization that has risen rapidly to prominence by carrying out multiple legendary assassinations, Miss Assassin, I admire you very much."
Tuscarola doesn't dislike compliments; in fact, she almost hums softly when complimented.
But the old Anne would have scolded her for being too proud, and Aaron would have warned her to be careful.
So I won't actually hum out loud, Tuscarola thought. Besides, assassins need to maintain their mystery; only those whose thoughts are unfathomable appear mysterious.
Just like Aaron.
She had spent more than three years with Aaron, yet she still found him mysterious.
Moreover, Aaron doesn't seem as young as he looks; he might be several hundred years old.
Finally, Tuscarola nodded slightly and parted ways with the army commander.
Not long after, the other party delivered the information to Tuscarola.
Although Tuscarola is lazy, she is not procrastinating, so she prefers to work with such efficient people.
Having obtained the intelligence, Tuscarola left.
After settling into the inn, Tuscarola began reading the intelligence.
After reading it, Tuscarola thought to himself that being cautious was definitely the right thing to do.
If she rashly approaches that woman named Brianna Lorraine, she will likely be in grave danger.
According to intelligence, the current Duke of Plains seems to have learned from the painful lesson of his predecessors being assassinated and has therefore taken measures to address the situation.
The cunning woman set a trap for the potential assassin, using a double to lure him out.
According to the intelligence report, since the duchess saw his face, he will inevitably die suddenly in the near future.
This is definitely some kind of extraordinary power. As for whether the Lorraine family made a deal with the devil to obtain this power, that remains to be seen.
But for Tuscarola, it is undoubtedly a very tricky situation.
The Radiant Realm is not perfect, and it is particularly bad at defense.
Intelligence indicates that currently, no one is capable of withstanding the power of that family.
Tuscarola wouldn't be foolish enough to gamble; he's special.
Fortunately, this intelligence was quite detailed.
She bit her nails, pondering a solution.
And quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Tuscarola didn't want to die from an assassination attempt, so this mission had to be completed under the premise of not being seen by the Duke of Lorraine.
It seems that Tuscarola will have to sneak around and infiltrate to get closer to the target this time.
But doesn't this make him seem more like an assassin?
In addition, she must, within the given premise, see through all the traps set by her target.
but----
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Tuscarola jumped onto the bed and lay down on the soft wool mattress.
Those few days in the military camp were truly unbearable.
She decided to get a good night's sleep first!
