Chapter 14

Roof.

With the efforts of Zhan Jingzhi and Ruan Jiaxiu, Lu Renzhi and Li Lingli finally climbed up in a messy posture.

The four people were sweating, but they did not dare to stop for a moment and quickly moved their positions along the slope.

They had to pass through the roof and reach the new hiding place designated by Xia Tianqing.

Whether it was moving to a new position or choosing to act at this time in the early morning, it was a comprehensive consideration of Xia Tianqing under the current urgent situation.

In the morning, as long as a wizard stepped into the meeting room, he would immediately find that the manuscript was missing, and the suspect would soon lock the player, so he had to escape from the room before the wizard found out the abnormality.

But if the action time was too early, some wizards were still stranded in the room, so it would be very easy to be discovered when climbing the wall.

So, they chose to take the initiative.

Let the vengeful spirit take the initiative to cause trouble and attract the attention of all wizards. Then, during this time, the players used the fastest speed in their lives to climb out of the window and leave the room, helping each other to climb to the top of the house.

But this did not include Xia Tianqing who acted alone.

“Sister Qing, it should be okay for her to go to Aqir’s room alone, right?”

Li Lingli asked anxiously, her heart beating wildly.

Ruan Jiaxiu’s fingers were shaking, and she took a hard breath, “Believe in her… If even she can’t do it, the rest of us have no hope.”

On the second floor of the castle.

Xia Tianqing had climbed into a room through the window.

She didn’t know which white-robed wizard’s room this was, but it didn’t matter.

The important thing was that when she climbed the wall to the meeting hall to eavesdrop yesterday, she passed by this room and saw an unclosed box on the other side, which contained what she needed.

Xia Tianqing opened the box and saw the stacked clean white robes, not surprisingly.

The white robes of formal wizards are completely different from those of theirs with the suffixes “internship” and “apprentice”.

The fabric and style are completely different. They look very drapey, with huge hoods, and they add a mysterious temperament when they walk.

However, usually they follow behind Aqir in groups, like extras whose faces cannot be seen clearly.

She unceremoniously took out her white robe, put on the hood behind her, and nodded, immediately becoming an inconspicuous “group actor”.

“Search! Find them out!”

At this time, an angry shout rang out in the castle, and the sound was obviously coming from the direction of the room where the players lived on the first floor.

Xia Tianqing had very limited time.

She pulled down her hood to cover most of her face, opened the door, rushed straight to the stairs, and ran up.

There was no obstacle along the way, and she successfully arrived at the room in the middle of the third floor-this was the residence of Aqier confirmed by the ghost.

In the dilapidated castle, the door lock had been broken after being burned. Perhaps Aqier did not expect that someone would dare to break in without permission, and she pushed the door open easily.

This room was cleaned up, and unlike other rooms, there was not a thick pile of embers, and it was even covered with a brand new carpet.

Xia Tianqing bent down to take off her shoes and stepped on the ground to ensure that there would be no black footprints all over the room.

As the leader of the wizards, the furnishings in this room are quite complete, with bedside bookcases, sofas, small tables, and carved desks.

Xia Tianqing stood in the room, her face solemn, her mind spinning rapidly.

Next, it was more difficult… Whether it was the bookcase or the desk, there were thick books and letters piled up everywhere, and the spines of the books and the covers of the documents were all full of blinding characters.

Xia Tianqing simply ignored all the letters in front of her.

The things that the wizards valued so much in their words and needed Aqir to keep personally would not be placed in a conspicuous place where they could be seen when they came in.

Xia Tianqing came to the desk and opened the drawers one by one to look through them.

Since it was a formation diagram, the content she was looking for should exclude the character type and focus on the form related to the diagram.

The three drawers under the desk were opened one by one. Xia Tianqing flipped through a pile of letters that she couldn’t understand, a pile of crystal objects that she didn’t know what to do, and several rolled-up portraits of wizards, but she didn’t find anything that matched the form of the formation diagram.

She quickly changed her position, squatted at the head of the bed and pulled away the pillow, but there was nothing inside. She was about to pull out the bottom drawer of the bookcase…

She suddenly stopped, like an antelope that hears the rustling of grass while foraging in the field, and pricked up its ears alertly.

Chaotic footsteps poured into the corridor outside the house, and the doors were opening one by one.

It was the wizards who came to the third floor to check.

Xia Tianqing hurriedly got up with her shoes, opened the vertical wardrobe in the room, and opened a large wooden box on the bottom floor.

There were heavy and gorgeous wizard robes in it. She reached out and grabbed them, put them into the [Props], jumped in, turned around and closed the wardrobe door, then curled up in the box and raised her hand to cover the lid.

Just after completing this set of actions, she heard the faint sound of a door opening.

In the darkness, Xia Tianqing opened her eyes wide and listened attentively.

Now, I just hope that the white-robed wizards will consider that this is Aqir’s room and don’t check too carefully.

A vague conversation sounded across the box.

“…Lord Aqir’s room, be careful not to mess it up.”

“Take a look under the bed, in the closet, and other places where people can hide, and then leave.”

In the closet, Xia Tianqing narrowed her eyes.

She summoned the panel, clicked the Villain Value option, selected the Villain Value that had accumulated to 2110 points, converted 2000 points into points, and clicked OK.

Click the closet door was opened.

Xia Tianqing’s player panel stayed at the Hypnosis

Fog on the product interface.

The product is expensive, priced at 880 points, and double the amount is required for purchases within the copy.

Xia Tianqing is ready. The moment the box is opened, she will click to confirm the order and throw it out directly.

Time and space seem to be compressed and slowed down, and every texture that time passes by is clearly visible.

A thin gap in the closed box seeps in a line of light. Xia Tianqing waits quietly for two seconds, and the line in front of her never expands.

Snap the wardrobe door is closed, and the light dims.

Amid the footsteps of the white robes going away, the door of the room is closed.

After a long time, Xia Tianqing lifted the lid, pushed open the wardrobe and jumped out.

She couldn’t help but feel a little weird in her heart.

Now the business is important, she pursed her lips and opened the drawer under the bookcase again to check.

After a thorough search, nothing was found.

Xia Tianqing stopped.

The weird feeling just now became stronger and stronger, as if something was overlooked… She simply sat on the carpet and lowered her eyes to think.

Just now, the white robes opened the wardrobe, but why didn’t they open the box?

If we put ourselves in their shoes, unless they knew that the box contained something extremely important to Aqier?

Under the premise that it was unlikely that there was someone hiding in this house, I subconsciously did not dare to rummage around…

Xia Tianqing fixed her eyes on the empty box.

Many people are used to keeping valuables in one place to avoid losing them, just like putting gold bars and property certificates in a safe.

The wizard’s dress is indeed precious, but for Aqier, the importance of the tracing array as the ultimate means for the wizards’ mission is self-evident…

Just now, she put the things in the box into Props for temporary storage.

Xia Tianqing immediately opened the player panel.

The next moment, her pupils dilated slightly.

Under the [Props] column, there was an item that occupied two grids: Wizard’s Dress…

Xia Tianqing took out the heavy and complicated wizard’s dress, grabbed the collar and shook it violently… Click, a cowhide scroll rolled out.

Xia Tianqing threw away the dress and picked it up.

A second later, a transparent frame appeared in the field of vision.

Item: Backtracking Array Map

Effect: Need to explore on your own

Note: A mysterious scroll

Very good.

The newbies are not too excessive, and they will give correct hints when they find the props.

Xia Tianqing put the array map into the Props, rolled up the wizard’s uniform and stuffed it into the box. After closing the cabinet door, he pulled down his hood, turned around and opened the door first, then rushed to the window, pointed at the dead forest, pinched his throat and shouted hoarsely and hurriedly:

“Over there! The trainee apprentice is in the dead forest, I saw it, chase him quickly”

Countless white robes popped their heads out from upstairs and downstairs.

The dead forest was filled with misty white fog, and at first glance, it was hazy.

Xia Tianqing pointed at the dead woods, her voice becoming more and more anxious:

“They are running far away! They are going to take the ghosts out of the castle! Go and chase them”

As soon as these words came out, the white-bearded wizard’s angry roar immediately rang out from below:

“The ghosts must not be released from the castle! Chase them!”

In an instant, the white-robed people at the window turned around, rushed into the corridor, and rushed to the stairs.

Xia Tianqing lowered her head, followed them out of the room, and mixed in among the anxious white-robed people.

In the mighty army going downstairs, her pace gradually slowed down and naturally fell behind.

The door of the main hall on the first floor was opened. Aqier and the long-bearded wizard stood at the door, staring at the foggy dead woods.

All the wizards rushed downstairs, rushed past them and rushed out of the door.

At the end of the team, Xia Tianqing, who was the last one, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the backs in front of him, suddenly turned, accelerated into a corridor next to him, and quickly disappeared around the corner.

After running all the way, twisting and turning, Xia Tianqing came to a remote corner.

There is a dilapidated wooden spiral staircase that leads directly to the top attic.

When Xia Tianqing climbed the roof earlier, she passed by a skylight and looked at the environment inside, and deduced that this should be a place that wizards do not often go.

At this time, the four players have passed through the skylight on the roof and are waiting in the attic.

Xia Tianqing carried two layers of white robes, stepped on the shaky ladder board, and rushed up with her head down. There was

a square hole above their heads, and four people including Ruan Jiaxiu and Zhan Jingzhi poked their heads out, each of them so nervous that their faces flushed.

As soon as Xia Tianqing rushed up, she was dragged up by several hands. She didn’t care about her heavy breathing due to a series of intense exercises, “Get to work, hurry up!”

“Understood!”

Zhan Jingzhi and Ruan Jiaxiu took the iron rods removed from the bed legs, went down along the entrance and exit to the middle of the spiral staircase, aimed at the wooden boards that had long been rotten and loose, pried them loose layer by layer, and then violently dismantled the ladder boards with their bare hands.

The two men were sweating profusely and worked while backing away.

Soon they had dismantled a large gap in the spiral staircase, blocking the way from the bottom to the top.
