Chapter 1445: Ebel Steals the Book (Part 2)

Ebel, whose nerves were tense again, quickly adjusted his emotions and the expression on his face.

After putting a gentle smile on his face again, Ebel asked the middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face:

"can I help you?"

"I am the captain of the 18th Squadron of the Royal Guards - Chino."

The middle-aged man, who called himself Kino, led his group of subordinates who wore helmets and armor like him and walked slowly towards Ebel.

"I'm sorry, could you please lift off the white cloth covering your cart?"

Abel was shocked.

However, with the reputation of being the number one spy of the Frank Empire, he naturally has extremely high qualities.

Even though he was shocked, there was still no strange expression on his face.

Ebel continued to put a gentle smile on his face:

"This is just a cart specially used to hold cleaning tools. Under the white cloth are just cleaning tools such as brooms, mops, and rags. There is nothing to look at."

As soon as Abel finished speaking, Kino said impatiently:

"...I was a decades-old veteran of the Knights of Gabriel before entering the Royal Guards."

"Don't treat a veteran like me as a fool."

"Of course I know that this kind of cart with a white cloth on it is specially used to hold cleaning tools."

"Logically speaking, this cart, which is specially used to hold cleaning tools, should not be very heavy when pushed."

"And the way you were pushing this cart just now didn't look like you were pushing a light cart at all."

Abel still had a smile on his face.

However - a few drops of fine cold sweat had begun to appear on Abel's forehead.

"Hurry up and lift the white cloth for me."

Kino's men had unknowingly surrounded Ebel.

"After confirming that there are no suspicious items in this cart, I will let you go."

"However - if you dare to disobey our instructions, don't blame us for being rude."

…

…

"no problem."

After a moment of silence, Abel raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I will lift the white cloth now, please don't hurt me."

"As long as we confirm that there are no suspicious items on this cart, we will naturally not harm you."

"Then I'm relieved. After all, there are indeed no suspicious items on this cart. It's just some cleaning tools."

After saying that, Ebel raised his hand to lift the white cloth covering the cart.

The next moment Ebel's fingertips touched the white cloth on the cart——

call--!

Ebel suddenly pulled up the white cloth and threw it towards the Guards soldiers blocking him.

The white cloth accurately covered the heads of these soldiers.

Unprepared for Abel's surprise attack, the soldiers scrambled to grab the white cloth covering their heads.

The encirclement network originally constructed against Ebel also had loopholes because of these soldiers who were eager to remove the white cloth from their heads.

Ebel seized on this opportunity to escape that would only come once, pushed the cart in front of him, followed the loopholes in the surrounding net, and escaped outside the net.

After being stunned for about a second, Chino quickly reacted.

"Blow the whistle! Chase me! Don't let this woman run away!"

The so-called whistling literally means blowing the whistle loudly.

Each of the soldiers patrolling and standing guard in the Baiyang Palace has a whistle.

If you spot an enemy while standing guard or patrolling, you can blow the whistle loudly.

Any guard who hears the whistle must rush to the source of the whistle as quickly as possible to assist the whistleblower in hunting down suspicious persons.

Kino and others stuck closely behind Ebel while blowing their whistles frantically.

The guards who heard the whistle also came from all directions.

"Quick! It's right in front!"

"The suspicious person is out there!"

"Who is the suspicious person?"

"That's it! That woman pushing a cart! Stop her!"

…

…

New palace guards kept appearing in front of Ebel and surrounding him.

While Ebel was annoyed, he also became more and more anxious.

Wherever he went, there were guards stationed in Baiyang Palace waiting for him.

If this continues, there will be no end!

If this continues, let alone escaping from Baiyang Palace, even how to save one's life will be a problem.

After encountering the Baiyang Palace guards in front of him again, Ebel shook his teeth.

He noticed that if he kept jumping like this, sooner or later he would be caught up and killed.

Realizing that if he jumped like this, he would be caught sooner or later, Ebel turned his head and looked at the window next to him.

Ebel is now in a corridor.

On one side of this corridor, windows half as high as a person are arranged.

Looking at the window beside him, Ebel gritted his teeth.

——It’s a gamble!

Ebel leaned over, held the set of books on the cart in his arms, and took a deep breath.

Dang-!

There was a loud sound of shattering glass.

Ebel held the set of books he had finally stolen from Ilsa's room and hit the window beside him.

Break the glass and then fall straight down.

The palace guards who came from the front and back of the corridor rushed to the broken glass and looked down.

There was no one on the ground below.

There was only broken glass on the ground with some blood.

"Is that man going to die...!" Chino cursed inwardly and hurriedly called his colleagues to chase him.

…

…

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, a remote tavern in the city-

Ebel dragged his bruised body and walked slowly towards a tavern in front of him with a sign saying "Open only at night".

This tavern was one of the bases of the Frankish Empire spies lurking in Pendragon.

Ebel had already torn off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

Among all the spies in the Frankish Empire, Ebel was a well-known existence.

After Eberle pushed open the door of the tavern, the owner of the tavern, a middle-aged man who was also a spy of the Frankish Empire, immediately recognized Eberle and greeted him with a look of surprise.

"Sir Eberle! How did you get hurt like this?"

"Hehe..." Eberle chuckled a few times, "If you just break a piece of glass like me and jump from such a high place, you can also get hurt like me."

"Wait! I'll get the medicine right away!"

"No need... My internal organs have started bleeding..."

After saying that, Eberle stuffed the big cloth bag that he had been holding tightly in his arms to the owner.

"Send this thing... back to Bolu safely."

"This thing is very important, it must be sent back to Bolu safely, to your majesty..."

"And... help me tell your majesty... I... faithfully performed my duties... and completed my mission perfectly..."

"Please, your majesty... don't blame me for not being able to come back..."

Say this, and Eberle used up the last bit of strength in his body.

After saying this, Eberl finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly fell to the ground...
