Chapter 1036: Night Visit to the Concert Hall

I received a letter from the doctor at noon on Sunday. The doctor has locked the demon's whereabouts and decided to take action tonight. This time the devil did not go to the banquet. He hid in the "Royal Festival Hall" in the east of the city as Victor Fanny.

The doctor's plan is simple and consists of three steps: infiltrate the concert hall, find the demon, and defeat it.

There are other possibilities in the simple plan, the devil has already noticed that someone in the local area wants to hunt it down. It doesn't know what the doctor is, but since it didn't escape the city overnight, there must be other tricks, so the doctor told Xia De to prepare for battle, and maybe he will encounter other situations tonight.

"The Royal Festival Hall?"

Hearing that Xia De is going to hunt demons in the concert hall tonight, Miss Writer, who has a ruddy face and is in a fairly good state of mind, frowned slightly:

"Rezia and Princess Margaret are also there tonight for a concert."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

This was somewhat beyond Xia De's expectation, but the two events should not be related. The devil hid in the concert hall as a helpless move under the pressure of the doctor, and the itinerary for the princesses to go to the concert hall was only decided yesterday.

Although the main force in hunting demons is doctors, Xia De will not let down his vigilance because of this. He prepared enough spell-casting materials for himself, and brought all the relics that might be used with him.

After finishing these, he left the cat and Dorothy at home after dinner. He took the [Night Watchman] and set off alone in a carriage, and found Dr. Schneider who arrived one step earlier at the "Green Grass Tavern" in the east of Tobesk.

"Grass Tavern" is a formally operating tavern located on Rodriguez Avenue, only 500 meters from the Royal Festival Hall. It is famous for its grass-flavored special beer. Of course, after Dr. Schneider ordered a glass, he felt that the taste of this wine was quite strange, and he thought that the reputation of this place was all boasting.

On winter nights, once night fell, there would be many people in the tavern, and no one noticed Shad and the doctor sitting by the wall.

Newspapers, notebooks, Rhodes cards, and wine glasses were placed on the table between the two, and a violin case with [Night Watchman] was placed on the chair beside it. Everything seemed normal.

The violin case was also left by the former detective, and Xia De suspected that the other party did not buy the case for the violin.

"I can feel that guy is inside the concert hall."

Dr. Schneider lowered his voice:

"I bought the architectural design of the concert hall from the black market, and we will go in through the sewer in a while. Now it is..."

"Twenty-one minutes past seven past seven."

Shade helps the doctor set the time of his pocket watch.

"Yes, the next concert starts at eight o'clock sharp. We left the tavern at seven thirty and sneaked in while the opening ticket was checked. We entered the concert hall from the sewer at eight o'clock sharp. If the plan goes well, we can be there within an hour come out."

The doctor handed Xia De a small cloth bag, which contained all kinds of spells. In addition to the basic silence spells, there were spells to assist illusion, invisibility, eliminate odors, and suppress light.

As a student of the Mechanical Academy, the doctor is the best at alchemy among the five. In his opinion, the biggest problem tonight is not whether he can beat the devil, but whether he can hide and not be discovered.

"I've made several backups."

The doctor showed Shad his notebook again:

"Even if the plan goes wrong, we have ways to remedy it."

Xia De nodded:

"If this is the case, I don't know if you have a plan for the current situation. The two high-ring warlocks have entered here now."

His eyes were on the doctor, and his wine glass swung in the direction of the door.

Dr. Schneider glanced at the door, then his face changed, and he lowered his head to look at the newspaper on the table, as if he was interested in the obituary on the left side:

"The death of old Barkindo is really strange, and it is obviously the eve of retiring."

The doctor said pretendingly, and after confirming that the two gentlemen in black coats who entered the door did not go this way, he carefully told Xia De:

"I don't know the other one. The taller one is a professor at the St. Byrence School of Mechanics. I have taken his elective course "Precious Metal Alchemy". But what does the professor of the academy come to Tobesk for?" ? Is it also for [Wisdom Pyroxene]?"

This kind of encounter with the college professor in the tavern, Xia De also encountered in Coldwater Harbor, and then he broke into the Aurora mansion, and met [Desire] in the secret room behind the damp chapel.

"Professors don't come here for a drink, do they?"

Xia De said that like the doctor, he didn't look at them. The high-ring warlock's senses are very keen.

"It's hard to say, but it has nothing to do with us anyway."

The doctor emphasized to Shad:

"Our target tonight is only that demon, and we don't have to worry about other things."

Stand up after speaking:

"But to be on the safe side, let's go outside for a walk now, it's not safe here anymore."

Although it is not a good idea to take a walk in the street on a winter night, the doctor is obviously afraid that staying in the tavern will cause other troubles.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

In short, the doctor took Xia De to avoid the professors of the college, and walked on the winter street for twenty minutes, which was considered familiar with the terrain.

Seeing that it was almost time, he took Xia De to the alley outside the Green Grass Tavern on Rodriguez Street, and found an iron gate that was almost integrated with the ground in the middle of the alley. The door was pressed under a pile of abandoned steam pipes. The doctor moved the pipes to the right with his mind, and Xia De saw that the door was close to the wall. Judging from the degree of rust, no one had been there for at least three years. opened it.

"The entrance to the sewer maintenance, but because of the renovation of the city's underground pipelines, in order to prevent direct contact between the biogas and the gas pipeline, this section of the sewer was abandoned."

While explaining, the doctor squatted down, took out a small copper key and inserted it into the lock hole on the side of the door. After twisting it hard, the key broke directly in the lockhole.

"It's okay, as expected."

The doctor smiled dryly, looked left and right at both ends of the dark alley, chanted a spell softly, and then slammed his right hand on the ground. With a muffled sound from Peng~, the rusty iron door on the ground was directly bounced open, revealing the dark passage below.

The doctor climbed down the ladder first, followed by Xia De, who did not forget to close the iron door that had been thrown open again.

Compared with the cold ground, the disgusting smell of the sewer is actually damp and warm. Although the taste was tolerable, Xia De was still glad that he didn't eat much tonight.

"This way!"

Dr. Schneider, who reached the lower end of the ladder first, took out two candle stubs from his pocket, lit the candle stubs, and let them float by his side.

He checked his current location and checked the sewer for any other "visitors". After confirming that there was no problem, he waved to Xia De, and the two walked towards the depths of darkness together:

"Doctor, you should have prepared a deodorizing method, right?"

Xia De still didn't forget to ask, given the smell that the two of them had now, once they appeared in the concert hall, people might be able to smell them across two corridors.

The dim light from the candle head illuminates the road ahead. In the dirty and narrow sewer, rats and cockroaches move forward together. Although working with the doctor often encounters accidents, it is probably because those "accidents" also hate the smell of sewers, so they quickly came to the bottom of the concert hall smoothly.

This abandoned sewer was originally connected to the warehouse of the concert hall, but the exit was blocked many years ago. After checking the architectural map of the concert hall, the doctor found another way, which is to make a hole directly upward from the position closest to the ground:

"right here."

The candle flew upwards, indicating the location confirmed by the doctor. And then there is no need for Xia De to do anything. As a six-ring warlock, Dr. Schneider still has the ability to melt stone walls.

He stretched out his hand upwards, and then a high-heat fireball like magma appeared in his hand. The fireball kept going upwards, quickly melting the rock wall above his head like a scorching knife cutting through the snow layer. Shad recognized that it was the flame of the Balrog, and after the doctor devoured the demon, he was able to gain the power of the demon in this way.

The hole was quickly opened, and the location above the head was the spare parts warehouse on the first floor of the concert hall. It will not be turned on during performances, so there will be no lights in the room.

So the two officially entered the concert hall smoothly, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Doctor gave Xia De a brown leaf. After wiping the leaf on the clothes twice casually, the smell that had just been picked up disappeared completely.

"It's not an alchemy tool, but a leaf of a special plant."

As if guessing what Xia De was thinking, the doctor explained, and then gave Xia De a white mask, which only exposed the position of the eyes and mouth:

"This is the alchemy tool."

He put an identical mask on his face, and as the mask "melted", the doctor's appearance became another person. So Shad did the same, and after the mask melted on his face, he felt like a water film was wrapped around his face.

"Even demons can't easily see through this disguise. It's very expensive, so we must make good use of this opportunity. Follow me as planned."

After getting ready, the doctor leaned on the door to confirm that there was no one in the corridor temporarily, so he opened the door a gap. When the middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes walked from the dark to the light, the squirming black slime wrapped his top, adding a new piece of clothing for him.

Xia De also followed in his freshly changed clothes, stepped on the red carpet on the ground, and looked towards the empty but brightly lit corridor.

This means that the two have officially entered the concert hall, and it also means that Xia De once again followed Dr. Schneider and broke into other people's houses without permission.
