Chapter 119 - Mayor's Mansion

I left the inn with Sylphe after we met at the inn reception. I didn't want to wake anyone up at the inn so we quietly left the inn.

We still didn't know how to get into the city mayor's mansion, but there had to be some way to do that because we had to do something about the city's money.

"What are you thinking of doing?" It was Sylphe who was following me who asked me. We were already walking around the city and there was no one on the streets, it was completely deserted, it reminds me of the night the demon attacked the capital.

Well, I didn't know what to do, because I would just go to the mayor's mansion and get in to try to find out something about the money. I don't want to kill anyone or be accused of any crime so I want to do it all in secret.

I'm taking Sylphe just to help me observe.

I remembered she had good senses, so she would help me get into the mansion undetected.

We'd have to make a mechanism for her to let me know if someone is coming my way, but I don't know how to do that so I'd have to bring Sylphe with me.

'I could use search magic.' I could use it, but I needed concentration to use it during the infiltration into the mansion, so I would lose concentration and my magic would stop working and I would start walking through the mansion blindly.

So taking Sylphe who already has the natural senses of his race is a good idea, as she will always be on the alert.

Well, she fights very well too, so that's another reason to take her along with me. If we get into an incident we have to fight, I may need Sylphe's help to knock out the enemy.

I didn't want to kill anybody, so just leaving the target unconscious was fine, because it would stay unconscious all night and not disturb my entrance to the mansion.

After a while, we finally arrived at the town mayor's mansion. Compared to the mansions I saw in the capital this is very small here, but it is still a very beautiful house.

From the outside there don't seem to be many guards, so my entry may be easier than I thought, I hope it will be.

After some time looking at the mansion we decided to find some way to enter.

Entering the front gate would be very obvious so the simplest way is to jump the mansion wall where there are fewer guards. I think a good way to see where there are fewer guards is to use search magic.

I wouldn't tell Sylphe to look at this, because I can do it easily, it would be better just for her to tell me when people have come towards us inside the mansion, her skill will be more useful that way.

I used search magic and realized that on the right side of the mansion there was no guard. There were very few guards, there were only 2 guards in front of the mansion, 2 at the back of the mansion and there was one walking around the mansion grounds, but right now he was on the other side.

Since it was a good time, I asked Sylphe to jump first, I didn't even have to use magic not to make noise, I just grabbed Sylphe's legs and lifted her because I was so strong.

When I held her, she got a little scared, but right after that, she climbed on the wall.

She held her hand out to me and I jumped and held her hand, after which, we both managed to jump across the wall. As the guard was already heading in this direction we walked silently towards the back of the mansion.

It would be a good idea to walk through the back doors because there is always less security around here.

The guards at the back of the mansion were there, so we would have to find some way to knock out the two guards.

We thought the following.

As we both had a lot of agility, we would each go to one of the guards and then knock them out, the easiest way is to hit the back of the head, even Sylphe knows that, so I didn't need to explain it to her.

"Do it quickly, we have to take them both down, because if one of them gets knocked out first the other may have time to report to the other guards in some way," I warned Sylphe, I decided to put some pressure not to have a chance of error.

I hope everything goes well, come on.
