This situation had given Abel too much advantage. There were only 2 types of attacks in his plan, powerful attacks and assassination. He would not use his powerful attacks unless he totally had to. If he had triggered the castle's protection circle by doing so, he might not have enough time to kill Prince Adolf.
Assassination was the better way to go since he had the transformation necklace. As long as he could keep quiet, it was very hard for the protection circle to track him down. He just needed to find a way to sneak next to Prince Adolf. As a commander, the chance of killing a level 7 Druid was still very high even without any equipment.
The carriage kept going. It passed a bridge and finally stopped at a little island. Abel could smell the floral scent even under the carriage. The sound of the river was complimented perfectly with the singing of female elves.
"All of you can go first. Mr. Avid, please come in!" Abel could recognize this is Prince Adolf's steward speaking. Afterward, he heard footsteps exciting from the bridge, and Mr. Avid also slowly walked down from the carriage.
As Mr. Avid headed towards the center of the island, the carriage began to move away. Abel gently let go, and in a tumble, he was already hidden amongst the bush of flowers by the side.
Abel expanded his senses. There were 3 elves nearby. The most powerful scent probably belonged to Prince Adolf, while the other 2 probably belonged to his steward and Mr. Avid.
How mysterious. Abel wondered what was going on, so he did not take action immediately. Instead, he took out the protection circle of Dark Valley he got last time. Although 36 magic cards were a lot more than the intermediate barrier circle he was used to, their functions were basically the same, and Abel was quite used to laying them down.
In a short period of time, this intermediate circle made up of one main control board, and 36 magic cards were set up, isolating the island from the rest of Prince Adolf's castle.
In the protection circle operation room in Prince Adolf's castle, an elven guard asked curiously, "What important guest is the majesty meeting today? It said that their scent had disappeared here!"
Another elven guard replied like he knew a lot of things, "There are only a few guests in this world who can make the majesty set up a barrier circle, but that's none of your business!"
The elven guard who asked the question then began to count all the important guests he knew, and guess who it could be like he knew what was going on. But he would never expect in a million years that his barrier circle was not even set up by the Prince himself.
Afterward, Abel carefully approached the master's building. Although Knights were not known for their speed, Abel was a lot faster than any other commander in his rank after countless enchantments. He also wore a soft leather boot for this attack, so his steps were basically completely silent.
"Mr. Avid, don't you think the Wealth Union is a little bit overpriced this time? He is only a beginner Druid, and you want 5 million gold coins?" Prince Adolf's slightly angry voice emerged.
"The honorable Prince Adolf, you want us to assassin a Master Alchemist protected by Angstrom City. Angstrom City's Grand Ducal Palace will definitely strike back if we leave a single trace. Also, we can not use any female elves since they might get soft-hearted when they saw Master Bennett. Therefore this assassination is not easy at all!" Mr. Avid said in a deep calm voice.
"If it is really this expensive, then maybe we'll just do it ourselves!" Said Prince Adolf in a deep voice as well.
"The honorable Prince Adolf. Excuse me, but how many guards do you still have left in Angstrom City? I heard a little about your secret attack last time, 1 official druid, and 7 commander lever elven guards were sent out. They were all killed, and not to even mention the tens of investigation department members who were whipped out afterward!" Up to this point, Avid noticed Prince Adolf's face was not looking too good so he quickly changed the topic. "Through my speculation, Master Bennett must be hiding his true ability. This time we need to at least double the force you sent out last time, so this price is actually very reasonable!"
A grim hatred suddenly emerged from Abel's heart as he listened. Originally he felt a little bad for killing Mr. Avid. He had no choice since Avid was in the way, but he was organizing his assassination.
"Of course, the honorable Prince Adolf Majesty, if you can give me a low-level noble status, I'll kill Master Bennett for you free of charge!" Said Avid with a greedy look.
"Oh Mr. Avid, that's why you want to see me face to face. If you just want a noble status, I'm happy to give you one as long as you bring me the head of Bennett!" Said Prince Adolf is a slightly sarcastic tone. Mr. Avid was just another elf crazy for a noble status. But even if he could successfully kill Master Bennett, could he escape the revenge of Grand Duke Edwina? How about the silencing of Begro City?
It didn't matter if it was Prince Adolf or his steward; none of them realized a shadow had swum into their living room like a squid. Abel's body was tightly stuck to the ground, only moving forward with his fingers. Just like a ghost, he moved along the shadow towards the table, then towards the pottery. Soon, he had arrived at the chair behind Prince Adolf.
As the heir of Begro City, Prince Adolf must have some touch-sensitive magical defense gear on him. Although Abel wouldn't make these kinds of touch-sensitive magical protection gear as a Blacksmith Master, he still had a fair share of knowledge on them. As soon as the external force coming towards Prince Adolf had reached a certain threshold, these magic gears would be ignited.
They would still ignite after the damage was done, and their strength of defense was largely dependent on the gear's level. After seeing how wealthy these elves were, Abel guessed Prince Adolf must have the best of the best.
How could he assassinate without triggering these touch-sensitive protection gear? Abel had a simple idea, use the dark gold little blade Jade Tan Do.
Abel carefully cut up a little hole on the back of Prince Adolf's pattern-filled chair with his Jade Tan Do. He didn't make a single noise. Then, he slowly reached the Jade Tan Do towards the back of Prince Adolf, so he wouldn't trigger the touch-sensitive protection gear.
Prince Adolf was telling Avid to get the job done as soon as possible, but he suddenly felt cool sensations coming from his back. The Jade Tan Do had now penetrated Prince Adolf's shirt and opened a little wound on his body. Afterward, his protection card immediately ignited, but it was too late. He had already been struck by immense poison. He was struck in the back, so the poison had quickly entered his spin and slowed down his next move.
The Jade Tan To +180 poison damage was a lot even for hell creatures, let alone a weak little elf. Afterward, Abel flashed his combat qi on the Jade Tan Do and plunged it even further with full force.
Meanwhile, Abel's druid soul simultaneously directed the 4 spirit guardian knights to appear in the living room. The spirit guardian knight captain flashed to the side of Prince Adolf. First was an ice enchantment, and Prince Adolf was immediately frozen up in ice. Afterward, the spirit guardian knight captain struck down upon Prince Adolf's protection shield with its big sword.
