How did these people’s target also have special powers?
Having extraordinary power wasn’t mind-blowing to many anymore.
After all, in their barracks, prison systems, and various departments across Baymard, didn’t they see quite a few with super strength?
One shouldn’t forget the Monarch do Terique, Astar, who also had super strength and a bottomless pit for a belly.
And then there was Lucia with her visions, Queen Penelope with her scary flexibility, William with his speed, and the others who had their own unique quirks too.
Again, what about the prisoner that could control metal? Though not strong, it was still something.
They’ve seen it so much that now, they felt that nothing could surprise them again.
Their only worry was with this target.
That is, what exactly could he do? And in what capacity?
Many were focused on that aspect, while Landon was focused on another.
Blending.
.
And as planned, those going out on their mission would only take tools that regular Veitt hunters would use.
The last time they rescued Tilda, they were able to find out this much.
And Landon had to admit that even the hunters of Veinitta had better standard hunting gears than those here.
Thus, with the knowledge they gathered, they could recreate typical Veitt attires, shoes, daggers, knives, ropes, and all the rest!
Again… They also had to have the in-style pleasant hairdos popular by the Veitt locals, not looking too out of place.
Blend, blend… They had to blend!
And as for how they planned to send these people in, of course it would be by air!
Summer was just around the corner, making it perfect for a drop-in!
And just in case any might have forgotten, Veitt ships were different from those in Pyno. Entering by sea would only make people notice them more!
Landon massaged his elbows, thinking deeply about the exchange method they had devised.
That is, just as they did with other intel-gathering missions after some time has passed, they would send a few people to particular spots into both Lingingburg and Dafaren, getting them to check on those out here as well as collect the intel they targeted so far.
And for this to work, they would still drop in by it in secluded areas after scanning the place for any persons.
Of course, they would use their heat and night vision devices, checking the scene before descent.
.
A lot of thought went into this.
And those doing these tasks can at most stay 3 days in these various spots.
These spots would probably be the same decade they initially dropped the primary team through.
So every 3 or 4 weeks, those gathering intel would sneak out of the cities, towns, or villages they found themselves in, making their way to these spots.
Of course, doing this won’t make them look suspicious since it was customary for ordinary folk to camp out when it was too late.
You have to know that the cities and towns closed their gates at particular times.
What if, when traveling for weeks, one reaches their destination too late at night?
Again, they might’ve been delayed by fleeing from bandits or other unfortunate incidents.
In that case, sleeping out until morning would be their only option.
The forests were too dangerous, with all sorts of giant creatures waiting to swallow quite a few of them alive.
That’s why many slept around the perimeters of the forest since everyone knows that the deeper one went, the more likely they were to run into the many nightly beasts.
Again, the perimeters were safer since most beasts didn’t venture around such open sites.
It can be said that their worries would be from meeting thugs, thieves, crazed killers, and slave sellers.
.
All in all, those sneaking out could aim to be late, missing the nightly deadline before the gates got shut.
Of course, apart from acting like hunters, some might even have to sign up as workers within the target’s public homes.
Such a busy and influential person should always be on the move, traveling months and months from location to location, sometimes also staying in his secret fortresses.
Who knows… Maybe these public ones weren’t used quite often by him.
And with his absence, those who go onto his mansion to gather the latest gossip and maybe one day snoop around successfully.
For sure, peasants having a position in the mansion would be tricky unless they were slaves.
So maybe, they would have to do contract jobs linking them to the mansion.
Like getting hired by famous tailors into special workshops, working hard, and becoming outstanding.
For sure, the women in high society would no doubt request for such tailors.
And visiting the estate would be a plus.
Or they could work under some merchants, coming in to supply goods into the mansion.
In the end… they could still be directly hired into the mansion as assistant cooks or something else.
Sigh…
Before leaving, he would like them to initially choose what they wanted to do, practice, and learn the trait here before leaving in summer.
At the same time, they also get to work in taverns, merchant sites, stores, or be simple farmers and hunters.
Bottom line, they had to research and perfect not just their ‘Veitt jobs’ if they wanted to be favored, giving access to bigger news.
And as a new, they would all have to make themselves look average or ugly. Fat or just not attractive.
Who knows what enmity they might bring to themselves because of their looks?
.
Landon shook his head wryly.
According to the system, Their target, Lord Castello Basanta, had various properties scattered in both Veitt Empires
•Dafaren: 14 hidden bases, 25 pleasure homes, 11 public estates scattered around, and 20 public money lending temples/establishments.
•Lingingburg: 11 hidden bases, 19 pleasure homes, 17 public estates, and 18 money lending temples.
For now, all he wanted to know were the locations.
And then, it would be time to move.
”Alright! That is all!”
Briefing over!
