When night falls completely, the noisy and bustling port town is immersed in tranquility and peace.
The bright full moon rose from the sea level, and the faint light spread down, as if covering the entire harbor town with a layer of fine silver gauze.
At this moment, Lynn was on the top floor of Pedro's house, gazing down at the entire town. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the port seemed exceptionally quiet today, without even the sound of insects. This abnormality made him smell a hint of danger.
"071 reports on energy reserves." After putting the diary away, Lin En asked silently in his mind.
[Energy remaining 40.2%...]
"It's a pity that it's still a little short..."
Lin En thought silently in his heart that the four full-moon nights allowed 071 to increase its energy reserves by about 30%, which was already extremely fast, but it could only maintain the overload mode for about 200 seconds.
Only in this state can he unleash the full power of white phosphorus! Although he felt a little uneasy, Lin En was not going to change his plan. Tonight was their only chance to rescue White Dove and Johnny! After all, the passage to the land of wizards would only be opened on Sundays, and tomorrow would be the time for public execution...
Lin En took out Lotte's diary from his arms and placed it on a corner of the table.
After today, no matter success or failure, he will not be able to stay in Harbor Town any longer, and Lot's identity will naturally have nothing to do with him.
This diary will be left as Lot's last will to Baron Pedro and Ivina. Although he does not expect it to change anything, it is the only thing he can do.
After packing up his things, Lin En walked out of the room alone, thinking about the information collected by the [Ship Gang] in his mind.
Adrian... the priest who had just been transferred to Harbor Town, the right-hand man of Bishop Anruk, born into a noble family, the champion of the last Nordland Knight Assessment, and possessed excellent swordsmanship.
The most important thing is that the other party has a very regular schedule. He will go out at this time every night. His whereabouts are unknown. It is suspected that he is going to attend a dinner party of some noble.
As for the rescue plan, Lynn thought of several options, the most successful of which was to directly capture and replace Adrian.
This not only allows direct information on who the captured person is and where he is being held, but Adrian's identity as the bishop's right-hand man is also extremely useful.
When the full moon hangs high in the sky, the people of the [Ship Gang] will stir up trouble at the dock, drive out all irrelevant personnel, and use the white phosphorus powder he prepared in advance to set fire everywhere.
Once this unquenchable "hellfire" spreads, it cannot be solved by a few hundred garrisons alone. It is his signature magic.
By then, whether it is to quell the fire or capture himself, Anluik will most likely take action himself, and even mobilize the elite guards hiding in the dark.
The large amount of cargo piled up on the dock had been quietly replaced by special black gunpowder by the [Ship Gang]. Once detonated, both the warships docked at the dock and the guards coming to support would be blown up instantly! If Anluk could be killed together, it would be the best. Even if not, the archbishop would not be able to come back for a while.
At the same time, he could use Adrian's identity to enter the place where Johnny and others were imprisoned, use the chaotic situation in the harbor town as an excuse, and falsely convey the archbishop's orders to transfer the prisoners to a safer place.
When you come out, Lord's trusted men will be responsible for picking you up.
For example, if he was discovered while disguised as Adrian and entered the detention place, or if the guards were simply unwilling to obey his orders, he would have to rely on his own strength to solve the problem!
The worst case scenario is that Anluik chooses to sit back and watch the "hellfire" at the dock spread rapidly. Then he will have to take action to quell the fire to avoid involving a large number of ordinary residents.
If this thing is not controlled, the entire harbor town will turn into a sea of fire.
Lin En kept deducing what might happen in his mind when an unpleasant creaking sound came from the corridor ahead, approaching from afar.
Alert Lynn immediately stopped, raised his head, and soon saw the figure at the end of the corridor.
The brown-haired girl stood upright in the shadows, holding a thin blade that was long enough to drag on the ground in her hand. As she walked, her red and black outfit looked very strange under the lighting of the silver moon.
"Ivina, what are you doing here?" Lin En asked in confusion, while putting his hand on the hilt of the sword. The other party's room should be on the second floor.
"Why?" the brown-haired girl asked in a low voice.
"Why is it that no matter how well I perform or how hard I work, my father will never recognize me, while you can't even pass the knight assessment, failing again and again, but you can always easily get everything I want..."
Ivana lowered her head, her words filled with uncontrollable anger. She clenched her teeth, as if trying her best to control her anger.
But soon, the girl's expression became calm again and her tone was very cold.
"My brother, you are an obstacle to my progress..."
Lin En's pupils shrank slightly. As soon as the words fell, Ivana rushed up with a thin blade in hand.
Ding~ Accompanied by the crisp sound of iron clashing, Lin En drew out the steel long sword from his waist and blocked the thin blade in the air, but he could clearly feel that the girl's strength and speed were much stronger than when they were sparring. Obviously, this was the opponent's true strength! Ivana's dark golden eyes flashed with coldness and murderous intent. The thin blade turned into a cold light that cut through the air and slashed towards Lin En again.
"You always look so nonchalant..."
"Tell me, why didn't you tell your father about this?"
"You clearly know that I have always wanted to kill you!"
With every word Ivana spoke, she swung the blade faster and faster, staring at her brother with a complicated expression...
