Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 124 Infiltration

The face that Cecilia had used before to gather information was now completely unusable.

Fortunately, after the mask was put on, Cecilia had full control over her appearance.

Once a piece of face is ruined, it's ruined.

What was even more frustrating for Cecilia was yet to come.

Posing as a magician, Cecilia asked the innkeeper about joining the local Magicians' Guild in order to obtain survival funds from the guild.

The hotel owner's attitude was still very bad. He just said that it would be impossible for an outsider like her to find a job in Hu Guzhi City.

The existence of the Magicians Guild is also kept secret.

If Cecilia hadn't searched the whole city and couldn't find the guild, she wouldn't have asked the innkeeper.

Finally, a cook in the hotel kitchen said to Cecilia, "We have never heard of the guild you mentioned."

Cecilia's first reaction was that the Magicians' Guild was not very well-known in Huguzhi City, so it was inevitable that non-magician people had not heard of it.

"You can just say this here, but when you go out, don't ask about guilds or not. Lord Babbitt doesn't allow these private organizations to exist."

The cook spoke in a lower and lower voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.

After hearing what the cook said, Cecilia realized that when she was wandering around the city, she did not see any organizations like guilds or chambers of commerce.

Seeing how afraid the cook was of Duke Babbitt, there were only two of them in this small kitchen, yet she was still so cautious.

It is no exaggeration to say that Duke Babbitt is the king here.

It is only a matter of time before Duke Babbitt rebels.

Cecilia suddenly felt something was wrong. Valken and his companions had been there for two days. It was said that Duke Babbitt had entertained Valken and his companions lavishly on the street yesterday, and many residents had received rewards from Duke Babbitt.

It is said that Duke Babbitt was so happy at that time that he invited Valken and others to his manor for a small gathering.

According to the description of the restaurant owner involved, it was a scene in which both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

Tsk.

By the time Cecilia reacted, it was too late.

I wasted too much time on the road.

If I had known that I would be in Tanayun City, I would not have meddled in other people’s business. At least I could have met Valken and the others yesterday.

There was no point in regretting it, and besides, she couldn't really ignore the affairs of Tanayun City.

Even if it happens a hundred times, as long as she sees it, she will not sit idly by.

When the Magicians' Guild was first established, it took more than just Elar's efforts. So many people were always trying to find ways to help Elar.

Even if the Kingdom of Anatolia was abolished due to the civil war, she would do her best to protect the Magician's Guild.

That was the few and countless legacies left between her and them.

She now only hoped that the epidemic would not break out before rescuing Valken and others.

It would be best if the epidemic never broke out.

It was quite easy for Cecilia to sneak into Duke Babbitt's manor by herself.

Perhaps it was because magicians were not treated well in the entire continent, the Duke of Babbitt's manor was defended by only soldiers and guards.

The guards and soldiers were quite strict while on duty.

They would investigate every passing bird.

If there is nothing hidden in this manor, why would we have to arrange for all the people to patrol the manor?

Cecilia felt that the Duke of Babbitt's manor was huge just by seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Isn’t this bigger than the palace in Petra?

This was not something Cecilia should delve into.

But the place is so big that it is quite inconvenient to find people.

It just so happens that Valken’s group is not small in number. In this manor, their number is probably only that of two guard teams.

From the time she infiltrated until now, Cecilia had no idea how many guards she had encountered along the way.

damned.

She hates rich people.

Cecilia sneaked in from the south side of the manor.

Not long after they sneaked in, they encountered a large orchard. It took Cecilia a lot of time just to cross the orchard.

Behind the orchard is a two-story building. Cecilia guessed that this building was used as a residence for fruit farmers.

There was no way Babbitt would place Valken and others here, and he himself would not live here either.

In this case, Cecilia did not go in to investigate.

Rushing towards the main building complex in the distance that looked magnificent.

There were so many flowers along the way that it was dizzying. Cecilia almost got lost.

In the garden alone, Cecilia had encountered seven people, big and small, in this manor.

You know, it's extremely difficult to grow these non-Southern plants in this southern land.

No one knows how much money and price Babbitt spent to have countless gardens of various sizes that are comparable to the royal palace.

The main building complex occupies a large area, with a complete front hall, atrium and backyard, plus side buildings on the east and west sides.

Cecilia got a headache seeing so many windows.

Before she went any further, Cecilia already felt a wave of magic.

She said that no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to have no magical defense at all.

The entire main building complex is surrounded by barrier magic, and a small part of it has been inserted with a lot of surveillance magic.

If these two spells are not removed, the person who casts the spell will notice once someone or magic passes by.

Cecilia could not go any further.

Being able to release magic barriers and surveillance magic of such a huge range, if there are not many magicians in this manor, then the magician's level must be almost the same as mine.

If it were in the past, the difference would be almost the same when facing Cecilia, and I would be confident of winning.

But her purpose of coming here was not to fight against the magician.

It would take a lot of magic to rescue Valken and the others. If all the magic was spent on playing against that magician, what difference would that make it to the point of seeking one's own death?

Cecilia looked at the buildings in the main complex. It would be a little easier if she knew the exact location of Valken and the others.

Although Valken and others were not completely restricted in their freedom of entry and exit, they could not leave the main building complex of the manor.

This was only the first day of their restriction. They could not see Babbitt or anyone else except the soldiers.

These soldiers who followed him closely seemed to be born unable to speak and refused to speak no matter what.

Cecilia walked around the main building complex, unable to see how many people were inside.

I realized later that barrier magic can indeed block sight.

Cecilia would not break the barrier by force unless it was absolutely necessary.

There is absolutely no breakthrough point at the manor.

Cecilia looked around and saw that the soldiers not far away were starting to change shifts.

There was no sound during the process.

There were many people coming and going, but the manor was as quiet as an empty house.
