Valeera said in the soul link channel with some headaches: "There are two people hiding in the main entrance of the castle, one on the left and one on the right. If we sneak in directly, we will definitely be spotted by one of them because the distance is too close."

"Um…"

Sharlayan looked up and observed the upper levels of the castle in the Academy of Sharp Eyes: "Can you break through from above?"

"Yes, but it's not easy either. There are many thieves lurking outside the second and third floors."

Sharlayan encouraged with a smile: "Leave it to you to decide, you are the professional."

Valeera curled her lips in disdain, but a smile flashed in her eyes unconsciously.

"Okay, let me plan."

After leaving the main entrance of the castle, Salayan and Valeera hid in a deserted corner.

Valeera was trying to figure out which route would have a higher success rate of infiltration, and Sharlayan, who was bored, took the opportunity to learn about the situation from Little Xingxing and Oni who stayed outside the city.

As Sharlayan's various abilities became stronger and stronger, the coverage of the soul link centered on him was gradually expanding.

Sharlayan: "Has there been any changes outside? How is the situation on the battlefield?"

Stellagosa blessed her eyes with a long-sighted spell, standing on top of her head and looking at the theater of sorrow and death in the distance.

"Not yet, the war is still going on fiercely... wait a minute."

Stellagosa's tone suddenly became serious, and Sharlayan's brows also frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there an emergency?"

Stellagosa: "A small team of four scouts has left the battlefield and is heading towards the direction of the Academy of Sharp Eyes at full speed. You should prepare in advance, maybe this will be an opportunity."

The Academy of Sharp Eyes is rich in scouts and attaches great importance to intelligence warfare. It did not surprise Sharlayan that some scouts returned from the front to report the latest battle situation.

The scouts returning from the front line will definitely attract some people's attention when they enter the city, which will provide an excellent cover for the continued infiltration of Sharlayan and Valeera.

After Sharlayan told Valeera the news, Valeera's eyes lit up when she was thinking hard.

"Drowsiness is coming, and someone is sending a pillow. This is indeed a good opportunity."

"However, we can't determine which secret sentries will be attracted by the returning scouts, so we can only adapt to the situation. You must follow me closely, and you must not make mistakes."

…

The second floor of Sharp Eyes Castle, the Necromancer's office.

The demigod leader of the Academy of Sharp Eyes—the Marquis of Akalek was standing in front of the map with his eyes blank. Two barons from the Academy of Sharp Eyes were discussing something in a low voice.

"Report! The scouts ahead are back!"

Hearing this loud report, the Marquis of Akalek immediately recovered his previous ability.

"Bring the scout over here."

"Yes!"

Valeera and Sharlayan, who were sneaking and waiting outside the gate, tightened their muscles. The moment the scouts hurriedly entered the castle, Valeera suddenly boldly stepped in from the main gate, and followed closely behind those scouts.

Although Sharlayan was a little surprised by Valeera's choice, he did not hesitate to follow Valeera and rushed into the castle silently.

When passing by the inner gate of the castle, Sharlayan glanced at the two sides of the gate from the corner of his eye.

'really…'

The secret sentry on the left focused on one of the scouts who had returned from the front line, and there was a loophole in the original complete security.

Valeera just seized this momentary gap, and slipped into the castle without making a sound, without being noticed by anyone.

The dusty scouts were unstopped, and they gave the green light all the way to the door of Marquis Akalek's office.

Just as the guard was about to step aside and let them in, a steady voice suddenly came from inside the door.

"Wait a moment... Friends who are following behind, please show up and see."

Even though they were still separated by a door, Valeera and Salayan felt the chill of being locked in at the same time.

[Fuck? Is the sharp-eyed Marquis, who received a lunch box at the beginning, so powerful? 】

【Anyway, he's also a demigod, and an assassin type, so it's not surprising that he has a strong sense of perception. 】

[However, in terms of frontal combat power, he should not be able to compare with those brave Marquis. 】

Now that it has been discovered by Akalek, there is no point in continuing to hide.

Sharlayan was the first to release the stealth state calmly. The guard of the lord's office was startled by the **** panther that suddenly appeared in front of him, and subconsciously swung the long sword in his hand.

This hasty attack could not pose any threat to Sharlayan. He deftly jumped half a step backwards, easily dodging the guard's attack.

Akalek's voice sounded again: "Stop, don't hurt our guests before you figure out the other party's intentions."

The guard hastily withdrew his long sword and bowed to the room: "Yes! Lord Marquis, this subordinate has overstepped."

"It's okay, let the guests come in."

"Yes."

The humanoid guard with a mask turned his head, his eyes were still vigilant, but at least there was no hostility for the time being.

"Two, please come in."

The Shadowlands had dead people from all material worlds, some races Sharlayan knew, but many were intelligent species he had never seen before.

After entering the lord's hall in front of Valeera, Sharlayan first saw an intelligent creature in the shape of a spider.

Obviously, this person is not the Marquis of Akalek.

When he realized this, Sharlayan subconsciously shuddered: 'I subconsciously ignored the person who should have the strongest sense of presence? '

"Hehe~"

The Marquis of Akalek seemed to be able to see Sharlayan's doubt and uneasiness, and smiled lightly and waved to him.

"I'm here...you seem surprised you didn't notice me the first time?"

Following the source of the voice, Sharlayan finally set his sights on the Marquis of Akalek.

Sharlayan didn't know what race the Marquis of Akalek was, and his body shape looked quite similar to that of a human.

But through the cover of the hood, Sharlayan could vaguely see three small jewel-like particles growing on the forehead of the Marquis of Akalek. Curved acute angle.

If he didn't pay special attention, Sharlayan would always subconsciously divert his attention away from the Marquis of Akalek.

‘Is this his special ability as a demigod? Sure enough, it is very suitable for being a thief. '

The Marquis of Akalek didn't seem to care about the invasion of his lair, his demeanor still looked calm, and there was even an elusive smile in his eyes.

"The two of you were able to break through the layers of surveillance in the Academy of Eyes and sneak into my office. I admire you for that. Please sit down."

As the barrage said, the thinking circuit of the Maldraxxians was inherited from the military master, and they have always adhered to the concept of respecting the strong.

Perhaps out of confidence in his own strength, the Marquis of Akalek waved away all the guards, leaving only two imposing female guards by his side.

Akalek's sense of existence attracted most of Salayan's attention. After the other party invited him to sit down, Salayan turned his attention to the two female thieves who were suspected to be the baron of the Secret Academy.

One of them was a female spider-man I had seen before, and her appearance looked similar to the Nerubian and the Faldorei.

"Um?"

When Sharlayan turned his gaze to the other person, he unconsciously showed a look of astonishment.

"…Humanity?"

The female human being watched by Sarlayan wore a black veil on her face, and her head was also covered by a hood. Only her two eyes were exposed, and her face could not be seen clearly at all.

But Sharlayan always felt as if he had seen her somewhere... or her portrait?

"You are…"

Valeera looked at the human woman in surprise: "Pasonia Shaw from SI7 in the Kingdom of Stormwind?! How could you..."

"Oh?"

Akalek frowned slightly~lightnovelpub.net~ He turned his head with great interest to look at the human woman whom Valeera called Pasonia.

"It seems that you and my new baron are old acquaintances from the same world?"

"Pasonia shouldn't need my introduction, this one..."

Akalek pointed to the female spider-man and said, "It's the veteran baron of the Academy of Sharp Eyes, Missoula Blade."

At this moment, Sharlayan had already remembered Pasonia Shaw's identity through the barrage, and took a deep look at her.

‘I remember the leader of SI7… the original leader Pasonia Shaw is already an old lady, right? Entering the Shadow Realm after death can restore youth? '

"so…"

Sharlayan tried his best to calm down his emotions, and asked the Marquis of Akalek with a calm expression: "Our fellow, Ms. Shaw, succeeded the Baron of Fortima?"

"Phetima, oh my poor Photima."

Akalek suddenly acted, and deliberately said with a chant-like tone: "I never dreamed that he~ is actually a spy sent by the Ritual Academy."

"huh~"

Baroness Missoula sneered and complained: "Master Marquis, your acting skills are too exaggerated."

Pasonia also rolled her eyes helplessly: "Let's get back to business."

"Master Marquis, these two fellow villagers of mine are well-known figures in Azeroth. There must be a serious business to infiltrate the Academy of Sharp Eyes. Why don't you listen to their intentions first?"

"All right."

Akalek rubbed his face with his left hand a few times, and the previous smile and exaggeration all disappeared, replaced by a chilling indifference.

"As a reward for successfully sneaking into the Secret Academy of Sharp Eyes, I will give you one minute to defend yourself, don't waste your life."
