Chapter 454 The Dragon’s Heist: Plan of Infiltration.

“Arad, do you have a minute?” Gojo approached Arad with Liliana, Vars, and Gug behind him, “We have something to talk about,”

“A second, please,” [Void Step] Arad went and brought Jack with a smile on his face.

“What? Where am I?” Jack looked around, confused. He had just been sitting on the street following someone for practice.

“Time to work,” Arad said, and Jack’s face changed, “I’ve been waiting,” He looked around, seeing Liliana glaring at him.

“Ah! Sister! Hello, it’s been a while,” He waved his hand.

Liliana grunted, seeing him wave his prosthetic hand, “Sorry, I should have taught you better,”

“I’m the idiot who went against an Elder lich. I deserved it,” He smiled, scratching his head.

Vars looked at them, “Let’s move. The game is about to start,” He turned around and started walking. Everyone followed him till they reached outside the city and headed into the forest.

Vars stood and extended one finger, waving his hand around with his staff, [Lisworth’s Magnificent Tower: Inverted]

CRACK! The ground in front of them changed into a circle of gray bricks with a trapdoor. “We can talk inside,”

“What’s this?” Arad asked, looking at the strange structure,”

“Lisworth’s magnificent tower, a spell that created a tower, but I used the inverted version that digs the tower into the ground and makes it seem like a bunker. The rooms are isolated from the world, so they are perfect for meeting and channeling great magic without anyone noticing.” Vars explained.

“There is an old man in Alina called Lisworth. Is it his magic?” Arad asked, but Vars shook his head, “He’s just a distant descendant. The white mage Lisworth died five thousand years ago. But, he left hundreds of spells in his writings.”

Vars walked toward the trapdoor and opened it. Everyone walked in except Gug, who couldn’t fit, and Gojo teleported her inside.

Walking inside the tower, Arad was surprised to see a clean and fully furnished room, “Magic made all of this?”

“No, the room is empty the first time you summon it. You have to furnish it yourself and then dismiss it. You can say it’s like a room you build and summon.” Vars stared back at Arad.

“Magic that doesn’t blast things is more interesting. So I could have a moving house or lair?” Arad looked around with a smile, “Can I learn the spell?”

“Do what you like,” Vars waved his hand, and a book flew at Arad, smacking him in the chest, “Overly complicated, cost a lot of mana, and highly unpractical without modification. Lisworth wrote that this spell was created to flex on the elves, nothing more.”

Arad opened the book and gave it a look, “Why it’s so thick?”

“Earth magic to build the tower, wind magic to fill it with air, water magic to supply it with water, time magic so nothing rots inside, gravity magic to keep it stable, space magic to create a pocket to store it, summoning magic to call it, banishing magic to send it back without destroying it, barrier magic to create the protective lair…Should I keep going?” Vars looked at Arad, “Too complicated for what it is, a flex with multiple types of magic mixed together.”

“You two, we should talk about work,” Jack walked toward the couch and took a seat. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

“Well said,” Liliana sat beside him, “Little brother is right, I have a ton to share,”

She pulled a map of the capital and its surroundings, “The vault in the castle has a lot of wealth, but it doesn’t have our artifact. It’s instead hidden beneath the supreme general court in for Alior burg.” She tapped the fort’s location. “It’s where several artifacts that are considered weapons are stored to be used in war at a moment’s notice.”

“Instead of a castle, we’re infiltrating a fort,” Gojo stared at Liliana, “Would our plan change?”

“Yes,” Liliana nodded.

Vars scratched his head, “Gug can’t distract the guards by going into a rage, with their power they would catch her immediately.” He smiled, “But I have a plan.” He tapped at the forest, “I will summon a horde of monsters and undead behind them for her to fight, this will draw most of the fort’s men to support her,”

“Won’t we just need the monsters, why send Gug?” Gojo asked.

Jack sighed, “Of course we send her, if they saw the monsters alone, they would get holed up in their fort and fight from behind the walls. We want them to charge into the forest.”

Vars looked at Gug, “What do you say?”

“Gug loves it, kill and scream, simple.” She smiled, smacking her stomach with her fist and growling.

“Kill only monsters, avoid humans, and protect them if you can.” Vars looked at her with a smile, “I will make sure the monsters keep coming and remain under control,”

“How do we slip in?” Arad asked and looked at Vars, “I’m sure they won’t let us through the door, and what about that supreme general, he isn’t a paladin, right?”

“We will slip through the sewers,” Liliana added, “Vars will handle that,”

“The supreme general is a warlord, a high-level fighter for all we know. But there is an easy way to send him away,” Liliana smiled, pulling a green bottle from her pocket, “I already mixed this into his wife’s food, she will be having horrible diarrhea for a few days. Her husband and their court mage should be running all around the capital searching for a healer and aren’t home today.”

“Why go after her?” Arad asked, but Vars replied to him, “Of course, she’s the weakest. Her husband won’t even flinch and the court mage barely has time to eat and it’s hard to get her. The wife who usually eats a lot of sweets can be targeted with ease, and even after, the sickness could be thrown at a rotten egg used in cakes or something,”

“How can we slip into the sewers?” Gojo looked at Vars and he smiled.

“Those two will lockpick us inside and I will use a mass polymorph to turn us into rats to slip through the cracks,”
