Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 204 Infiltration
In the evening, two petty thieves began to scout the lord's door.

Chris stared at the guards and whispered, "There seem to be quite a lot of guards here. I wonder if their numbers will decrease at night."

Lu Chen explained, "Lord Alderp has a bad reputation. He secretly used demons to commit many evil deeds. He was able to climb to his current position by using demons. So he is also afraid of paying the price. However, I think the guards' vigilance should be reduced at night. After all, it has always been peaceful here."

"How come this kind of person hasn't been discovered before?" Chris said with disgust, and the dagger in his hand involuntarily spun a circle.

"Tonight we will bring punishment to this evil man."

"Oh, we are the thieves' gang that punishes evil. Then I am the leader of the thieves' gang." Chris said excitedly.

As a natural goddess, she has never done such a thing.

"As long as you are happy, Chief." Lu Chen had no objection to this. He just wanted to get the artifact.

After a moment of excitement, Chris continued to ask, "What should we do? Sneak in at night?"

"I've been into his mansion before, so I know the first part of the route. As for the rest, it's up to you. As a thief, you should have the ability to sense treasures."

Chris replied, "I can only sense the direction of the treasure. He should have hidden the artifact somewhere in the basement. So we will go in at night and slowly search for it."

"We can only go in and look for it again. He definitely doesn't have a map at home."

Except for the demon Duke Maxwell, who is a very high threat, the others are no match for the two of them, and the existence of demons must be kept secret from the guards.

"I can use the stealth skill to enter stealth mode. What are you going to do?" Chris then realized that he had no idea what Lu Chen's occupation was.

"I'm also very confident in my stealth ability, and my profession also has professional skills related to stealth."

The Hunter class had a skill called "Hide and Seek," which Lu Chen had also learned. Although he couldn't enter stealth mode, he could shrink himself in an emergency. This was much safer than stealth.

"You're not a thief, are you? Are you a ranger or something like that?" Chris was a little curious about Lu Chen's profession, and he didn't see Lu Chen carrying a bow and arrow.

Lu Chen explained his profession: "My profession is a variant of Hunter, but I don't often use long-range weapons in combat."

Hunters, rangers, and thieves are all professions related to dexterity, so it is normal for them to be able to lurk and attack.

"Where is your animal companion?" Hunters usually have an animal companion.

"I haven't found an animal companion yet."

However, Lu Chen has several human companions, and he secretly wondered whether they could benefit from the bonus of his skill attributes.

"It seems you have great ambitions. Do you want to find a dragon as a partner? Do you also want to become a dragon rider?"

"As a hero who wants to defeat the Demon King, it's only natural for him to have a dragon as his animal companion."

Chris encouraged, "That's true. If you can defeat the Demon King, I will give you my blessing."

Lu Chen saw that the guards in the distance had noticed the two of them, so he suggested, "Let's leave here first to avoid attracting the guards' attention."

"Let's go."

The two began to prepare the necessary equipment for the infiltration, of course, Lu Chen was mainly responsible for the planning. He had always wanted to make a plan similar to the Pacific Standard Mission.

Lu Chen took out a piece of paper from behind him. It contained all the plans he had made during this period of time.

Chris sat and listened to Lu Chen's messy plan and thought it was perfect. At least this style similar to that of a professional robber made Chris feel very professional.

The first is to hide your identity.

The two had very distinct hair features, with black and silver being relatively uncommon hair colors. Although they were confident that no one would notice, it was still necessary to cover them up as a precaution.

Black hair and black eyes are hallmarks of reincarnated beings in this world, but few in the Novice Village possess these traits. Silver hair is even rarer. Lu Chen has only seen Chris with silver hair. Blondes and browns are the most common hair here.

So Lu Chen suggested, "Is there any way to change hair color? Both of our hair colors are rare. I can wear a mask and pretend to be a Red Demon, but your hair color is rare. I've only seen you with silver hair."

"I won't be discovered. I'm very lucky." So Chris will not change his hair color.

Since Chris is unwilling to change his hair color, there is no point for Lu Chen to change it alone.

The second thing is the detailed plan after entering. A detailed route was formulated based on the guard positions that Lu Chen observed when he looked for Bart several times.

Late at night, the two came here again.

The towering walls were no problem for either of them, and they easily entered the lord's mansion.

According to the plan, there should be several guards here, but in the Novice Village with good security, they are not on duty at night.

Lu Chen always went there during the day.

So the plan was completely different from the very beginning. This must have been Chris's luck.

So Lu Chen could only ask: "Which direction do you feel the treasure is in?"

Chris asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say you'd be in charge of the first half of the route?"

This was different from what had been agreed upon. As soon as this little brother of his came in, he was ready to rely entirely on the leader.

And Chris thought Lu Chen’s plan was perfect, and she wanted to carry it out.

"Then follow me first."

Lu Chen had memorized the route when he arrived earlier, and naturally, there were few people in the courtyard of the mansion late at night. A servant who wasn't a professional wouldn't have been able to detect the intruders, so the two of them easily reached Alderp's house.

The two of them climbed up to the roof nimbly, and Lu Chen's stand-in emerged and opened the window from the inside.

Chris asked curiously, "What kind of skill is this? This is the first time I've seen it."

"It's my choice of cheat."

"The seniors have left something behind."

The two of them jumped into the corridor one after the other. They looked around.

"I sense the presence of treasure in one of the rooms here. Let's go find it quickly."

Some of the servants of these great nobles did not sleep at night, waiting for their master's call at any time.

The two of them had to be careful in the house. Alderp had hired several powerful adventurers as guards, and they should be resting in a house nearby.

Guided by Chris's treasure sense, the two walked into a bedroom. It was obvious that this was the lord's residence.

But now the room is empty, no one is there, it seems Alderp hasn't slept yet.

However, having come this far, it is impossible to give up because of this unexpected incident.

Chris walked over to a shelf. This was where her sense of treasure came from.

An ornate box sat on the cabinet. It was obvious that this was where Alderp kept his divine artifact. He surprisingly didn't have it with him.
