A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1542: Ay The Assassin, Ready In Position!

“Attention all! Attention all! The 10th-tier orc in the northern region of the city has started advancing towards the palace. It’s not going towards the west! It’s not going towards the west!”

Camilla’s voice suddenly came out from the bat on Mag’s shoulder.

“Are we going back straight to the palace?” Mag frowned. This was a little different from his plans.

“They might have already seen through our target.” Elizabeth waved her hand, and several crushed ice crystals flew in all directions to form an ice screen in front of everyone. Scenes from several places appeared on sections of the ice screen, just like on a big screen displaying scenes taken from several surveillance cameras in a monitoring room.

They could see that the level of defense had increased rapidly from the various screens, and there were more patrolling troops. The entire palace seemed to have gone into defense mode.

Mag was shocked that Elizabeth could still pull something like this out of her sleeve, but other than that, he also agreed with her judgment.

Everyone knew that the target for tonight was Ferdinand, and because Ferdinand was in Gary’s hands, the latter had the last say.

The commotions happening in the northern, southern, and western regions of the city were just distractions amidst all the chaos so that they could use the chance to take action.

However, Gary seemed to have seen through their plan right now. He simply ignored their provocations, and chose to guard the palace and Ferdinand.

“That’s tough.” Babla kicked a small pebble by her feet and looked around. “Then where should I set up the teleportation portal? If it’s two 10th-tiers, do we still want to give it a try?”

Everyone’s brows were tightly knitted. This situation was indeed nerve-racking.

“That fellow will not make it back to the palace,” Irina suddenly said.

It was a very confident proclamation, but it seemed as though that was only right since she was Irina.

“Let’s go. We should set off too.” Mag walked towards the exit of the tree hollow. If it was just Gary alone, they could still give it a try.The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Even in the worst-case scenario, he had the confidence to send everyone to the teleportation portal to leave, albeit risking revealing his identity.

He had not really gone all out to test out the upper limit of a 9th-tier when in top form.

“Elizabeth, you’re in charge of monitoring and directing us to avoid the patrolling orcs while infiltrating the palace in the quietest way possible,” Mag told Elizabeth. The use of icicles to capture images was too handy. It had turned most of the palace grounds into their territory.

“Okay.” Elizabeth nodded. She grazed her finger on the ice screen, and the two-meter-long screen quickly shrank to half a meter square, and it hovered in the air diagonally in front of her to the left. After that, she walked in front to lead the way.

“Let’s go. Don’t make a sound,” Mag told the rest. He let them walk in front, while he followed at the back.

The group darted around quickly under the cover of the night. With Elizabeth as their guide, they could avoid all the patrolling troops very nimbly, and infiltrate the inner palace silently.

Although the Falk Tribe’s palace could not be compared to the Roth Empire’s palace in terms of scale, it was still a rather large place. It was built with giant black stones of equal size. The interior was very spacious, and the intersecting long corridors dissected the place into several sections and rooms.

After Mag and the gang entered the palace, they started to check the rooms according to the information from the Gray Temple.

There was a tense and dangerous atmosphere around the Falk Tribe. That was why so many people were unable to sleep despite it being so late at night. This made their search a lot harder.

“The palace maids in this room have fainted. They’ll be fine tomorrow morning after a night’s sleep,” Babla said softly as she put her hands down slowly.

The group had accidentally gone into a palace maids’ room. Luckily, they were settled before they could let out any sound.

Mag reconfirmed their current position, and asked Babla, “Are you sure none of them will wake up tonight?”

“I’ve imposed a second spell. If anyone wakes up beforehand, they will be knocked out again.” Babla nodded confidently.

“Then set up the teleportation portal here. This place is almost equidistant from our three targets. If anything happens, the time we take to escape will be similar. This is the best spot to make our escape.” Mag looked around and pointed at the space in the middle as he told Yabemiya, “Miya, you’ll be in charge of helping Babla.”

“Mm-hmm.” Yabemiya nodded. She was very aware that she might not be able to provide much help during the fight.

“Alright.” Babla nodded. She pulled out a pile of materials needed to make the teleportation portal from her spatial bracelet. A one-time-use teleportation portal would require very good quality materials and top-notch skills in terms of setting up. The specificity and accuracy in skill level required would have to increase for the start-up time to decrease. A normal top-notch formation master would require several days to finish the setup.

However, for Babla, a genius formation master who could fix ancient teleportation portals, a teleportation portal of this standard was a walk in the park.

After serving dishes in Mamy Restaurant for several months, the world would probably have forgotten that she, Babla Niohuru, was the princess of the Moon Nation, the youngest top-notch spatial magic caster and a genius formation master.

“These are the three places that we will need to search tonight. They are a royal secret chamber, a possible underground cell, and a treasure vault.” Mag pointed at three points on the map, and looked at Elizabeth, Yabemiya, and Gina as he said, “We’re going to split into two groups. Amy and I will search for the possible underground cell. Elizabeth, you bring Gina over to the secret chamber. Remember, do not get into fights if possible. We want to ascertain Ferdinand’s location before the enemies are alerted. Otherwise, the plan would fail.

“The moment someone triggers a trap or if anyone’s identity is exposed, return here immediately. We have to leave this place before the opponent’s 10th-tier powerhouses find us.

“Safety first,” Mag said seriously as he looked straight into Elizabeth’s eyes.

“Okay.” Elizabeth looked back at Mag and nodded slightly. She looked at Amy, and then at Mag, and hesitated a little before saying, “It’ll probably make more sense to change the groupings.”

Everyone looked at Mag as well. Although they roughly knew that he was quite strong, he was not a real knight, after all. Therefore, they were also a little shocked that he would join and even personally direct today’s operations. Now, he even wanted to do the search with Amy, and that made them a little worried.

Mag also seemed to have realized that he appeared overly confident, and that did not match his kind and dignified restaurant owner image. He smiled, and said, “Don’t worry about me. It’s just a storeroom over there. We still can’t be certain if there’s a secret chamber there or not. If there really is one, I will come back quickly to get help.”

“Safety first.” Elizabeth knew that Mag wasn’t one who would risk Amy’s safety. After thinking for a while, she left with Gina.

“Let’s go, Little Ay, we should get going too.” Mag straightened Amy’s night camouflage clothes, and took her hand as they walked out of the palace maids’ room.

The place that they were going to was a real jail cell. Judging from the Gray Temple’s information, there were several very important criminals locked up there, and he wasn’t sure if Ferdinand wouldn’t be one of them.

“Ay the Assassin is prepared!” Amy replied softly as her eyes shone with excitement.
