Chapter 1444: Ebel Steals the Book (Part 2)

Ebel's disguise was perfect.

After replacing the real Mano and sneaking into the Baiyang Palace, no one noticed that Mano was no longer the original Mano.

During the half month of sneaking into the Baiyang Palace, Mano was studying the escape route after stealing the set of books while secretly waiting for the opportunity to enter Ilsa's room.

And this opportunity soon came.

Today, half a month later, it will be Mano's turn to enter Ilsa's room to clean.

There is no better opportunity than this.

It naturally takes a long time to enter the house to clean.

This long time is enough for Ebel to find the set of books in Ilsa's room.

And to enter Ilsa's room to clean, you need to push a cart full of various cleaning equipment.

This cart is the perfect tool to hide Ilsa's set of books.

And most importantly-Ilsa will leave Pendragon for a while.

During the time when Ilsa is away, Ebel does not have to worry about Ilsa being present when he enters Ilsa's room to "clean".

Moreover, even if Eberle stole the set of books, no one would find out that the set of books had been stolen in a short time.

The operation has been going smoothly so far.

Eberle has successfully pushed the cart full of various cleaning tools into Ilsa's room.

Next, it is to find the location of the set of books.

…

…

The only feature that Eberle knew about the set of books was that the covers of the books were blank.

Fortunately, although only this feature is known, this feature is very valuable.

After all, books with blank covers are not uncommon.

When entering Ilsa's room, the first thing Eberle noticed was the large map hanging on a wall.

This is a continental map.

Each country is marked with a different color.

It is worth noting that the map is wrinkled.

It looks like it has been splashed with water.

And Eberle can vaguely see a light red mark on the wrinkled part of the map.

Eberle can't help but wonder-why would a dignified emperor hang such a wrinkled map on the wall?

Although he was puzzled, Eberle didn't care too much.

After all, the most important thing now is to complete the task first.

…

…

The first place Eberle searched was the bookcases in the room that were taller than people.

Eberle flipped through all the books on the bookcases one by one.

After flipping through the books on the bookcases one by one, Eberle was disappointed.

None of the book covers were blank.

But Eberle didn't give up and started searching other places in the room.

He found the bed quilt from the cabinet, and then rubbed every wall in the room one by one, looking for something similar to a secret door.

However, after searching around - nothing was found.

Eberle, who had already spent a lot of time, couldn't help but grit his teeth in anxiety.

- Damn it! Is there any place I haven't checked yet? !

- Or... In fact, the set of books was not placed in Ilsa's room at all?

Just as Eberle was thinking whether to continue searching in Ilsa's room, or to retreat temporarily and then search in Ilsa's study or other places where Ilsa often went, Eberle suddenly felt like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He suddenly realized that there was a place in Ilsa's room that he had not searched yet.

Eberle moved his eyes and locked his eyes under Ilsa's bed...

Eberle walked quickly to Ilsa's bed, lifted the sheets hanging from the edge of the bed, and looked under the bed.

Under the bed, a huge cloth bag lay quietly.

——Got it!

After cheering in his heart, Eberle immediately pulled the cloth bag out from under the bed.

After opening the cloth bag, books with blank covers suddenly appeared in Eberle's eyes.

Eberle's face was full of joy that could not be concealed at all.

Eberle took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

It had been 35 minutes since he entered Ilsa's room.

The maids usually took about the same amount of time to clean Ilsa's room.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Eber quickly rewrapped the cloth bag full of books and placed it in the cart that was used to hold cleaning equipment.

This cart usually covered all the cleaning equipment with a white cloth.

If the set of books was placed in the cart and then covered with a white cloth, from the outside, it would be impossible to tell that such a heavy thing was hidden in the cart.

After hiding the set of books in the cart and sorting out his emotions and expressions, Eber pushed the cart and left Ilsa's room.

…

…

When leaving Ilsa's room, the process was also quite smooth.

Because the sound insulation of Ilsa's room was quite good, the guards outside the room did not hear the noise of Eber rummaging through the boxes and cabinets inside.

Even if they heard some noise, they only thought it was the sound made by the maids when they were cleaning.

After pushing the cart out of Ilsa's room, the guards outside the room did not notice anything strange about the cart, and they said goodbye to Eberle, who was disguised as Mano, very enthusiastically.

So far, the operation has been quite successful.

With only a little bit of finishing work left, Eberle's mission this time can be declared successfully completed.

Thinking that his mission was about to be successfully completed, Eberle's originally tense nerves relaxed a little at this time.

However... just when Eberle was only 200 meters away from returning to the workshop where various work equipment was placed, a team of palace guards came towards him.

These guards patrolling and standing guard in the palace are all the royal guards.

Every soldier in the guards is the elite among the elite.

Despite this, Eberle did not care too much.

Eberle, whose nerves had begun to relax, did not think that the team of guards coming towards him would find anything unusual about him.

After all, Eberle was very confident in his acting skills.

Moreover, the cart covered with white cloth did not look problematic from the outside.

Just as Eberle passed by the 12-man guard team -

"Hey, wait a moment."

A calm voice suddenly came from behind Eberle - the guard team that just passed by Eberle.

Hearing this voice, Eberle's nerves, which had been somewhat relaxed, became tense again.

He turned his head slowly and looked behind him.

The owner of this calm voice was the leader of the guard team - a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face and a very sharp look.
