Among the earls, there were also differences.
In addition to his own title, Earl Levitt also has two younger brothers, Emilius Levitt and Auston Levitt.
One of them is an admiral and is the kingdom's highest naval commander in the Central Sunian Sea, and the other serves as the governor of Oravi.
More importantly, Admiral Amyrius is a true demigod, known as the "Spellweaver".
The Levitt family is a demigod family!
As long as Emilius, the demigod, is still there and the Levitt family has not made any unforgivable mistakes, it will definitely thrive forever.
In comparison, Count Wolfe was far behind.
After the repeal of the Corn Laws, grain prices plummeted, and rents for fields and pastures also plummeted.
Due to the severe decline in land rent income, the Wolfe family, a conservative aristocrat, has encountered financial difficulties and has begun to sell off land in remote countryside.
If poor management continues, it is not impossible that the Wolfe family will decline out of the ranks of the nobility over time.
This is a world of difference.
Therefore, Valeela had the courage to steal from Count Wolfe's house.
After 9 o'clock at night, when the maid in the small bedroom next door was asleep, Valeera quietly got up, put on a trench coat and trousers, brought enough equipment, and prepared for the operation.
Of course, before leaving, she still used illusion magic to disguise herself and placed a restrictive curse on her personal maid Liya.
Williams Street and Severas Street are adjacent to each other, not far from Queens.
Valeela moved quickly in the cool night wind. Every time she landed and jumped up, she could glide more than ten meters in the air.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at Earl Wolfe's mansion.
When covering Qili's theft in Earl Levitt's Mansion, she once disguised herself as a wealthy businessman and visited almost all of Queens. At that time, she knew the location of Earl Wolfe's Mansion.
The rotten ship still had three pounds of nails, but Valeela didn't overestimate it.
She sneaked into the yard invisibly, wandered around the lawn and garden first, used the blurred "invisible thread" to explore, and soon found the location of the outer warehouse.
After a while, Valeela explored the general structure of the outer warehouse and speculated on the possible location of the entrance to the house.
Then, she stretched out her hand and wiped it in front of her eyes, opening the "grey vision" for reconnaissance, and leaving a "partial shadow" outside the house.
The house was deserted below the first floor;
This should mean that the servants have withdrawn to the servants' room to rest.
There are three people on the second floor;
Judging from the position and movements, one person should be resting in the guest bedroom, while the other two are gathered in the living room or a chess and card room.
These three people are most likely Extraordinary, responsible for guarding the count's safety.
It is unknown whether they are official Extraordinaries or whether they were privately trained by the Earl.
The third floor had the largest number of people, about a dozen.
Judging from their positions and movements, most of them were resting in various rooms, and only three of them were still asleep.
Among the three people, two of them were relatively close to each other, while the other one was closer to the majority of people who were already resting.
Valeela thought about it and estimated that the two people close to each other on the third floor were the count and his valet. As for the single person, she was probably the night maid.
All in all, the three people on the second floor are the most dangerous.
This is good news for Valeera.
Because her two goals - the entrances to the inner and outer libraries, have nothing to do with the second floor.
She has roughly ascertained the entrance to the outer warehouse, and it is estimated to be somewhere on the left rear of the first floor of the house;
As for the inner treasure, she planned to sneak into the house first to verify her reconnaissance results. If conditions permitted, she would go to the master bedroom to investigate.
Because the two people on the second floor were most likely Extraordinaries of unknown sequence, Valeela gave up the idea of sneaking in through the window.
She walked around the house and soon found the servants' passage on the side of the house.
From here, you can freely enter and leave the house, but it is limited to some areas below the two floors.
This is because, when the servants leave in the evening, the valet locks the key entrances to and from the main part of the house.
But this obviously does not trouble Valeera.
After mastering the ability of "invisible thread", she no longer needed to use thin wires to pick up locks. It could be said that it was a piece of cake.
Of course, that's for general locks.
If it were a safe lock with a complex mechanical structure, she would still be powerless.
Valeela lowered the brim of her hat, turned up her collar, and walked deeper along the servant passage. When she reached the key passage connecting the hall on the first floor, she was stunned for a moment.
There is actually a small fence opening on this door!
So the question is, did she pick the lock and open the door to sneak in? Or use "Shadow" followed by "Castling" to infiltrate?
After a while, Valeela decided to sneak in through "Shadow Castling".
This is mainly because "partial shadow translocation" is more concealed, with almost no movement, and the risk of exposure is much less than picking a lock to open the door.
Through the fence door, Valeera summoned a "Shadow" at the edge of the hall, and then launched "Castling".
When the new "partial shadow" inside the house takes shape, the "partial shadow" outside the house disintegrates and dissipates at the same time——
Valeera can only retain one shadow.
In order to achieve maximum concealment, Valeela switched to a crouching position after entering the house.
Because the main target of this operation, "Azik's Mask", was more likely to be placed in the inner treasury, she launched "Shadow Translocation" again and went directly to the stairs leading to the third floor.
On the third floor, Valeela saw the Earl and his personal servant in the huge study room, which was like a small library with several large bookshelves filled with books, which confirmed her previous guess.
She arranged invisible threads and simply set up a network of reminders at the door of the study, then quietly came to the master bedroom, which was almost like a complete house.
The huge and luxurious master bedroom is actually quite complete in partitions. It has a balcony, a washroom, a cloakroom, a living room, a small bedroom for a personal servant, etc. It even has a wine cabinet and a bar. Apart from the fact that there are no complete partitions, it is almost complete. Like a complete house.
In the room, almost all kinds of utensils are inlaid with gold and silver, or are exquisitely carved.
The elderly countess was lying on a dark gray velvet quilt, already asleep.
Valeela establishes a "connection" between herself and the Countess, and begins her signature version of mind-reading.
It didn't take long for her to find out where the entrance to the inner library was and how to open it.
The entrance is behind the wine cabinet in the master bedroom. What looks like a wooden wine cabinet is actually an iron secret room door. As for the key to unlocking the mechanism, it is actually the rings worn by the count and his wife, and there are only two of them.
Although the sound of the mechanism that opened the secret room was not loud, it was enough to attract attention on such a quiet night.
Fortunately, Valeela was well prepared, so this was not a problem for her.
