Chapter 42: Breaking into a castle

*I hope I can stay true to what i wrote just now, meh first I am going to unload those backpacks in the room I rented* Neuron thought while he went on his way towards the happy boar.

Of course this figure which walked alone trough the slum while apparently carrying something really heavy caught the attention of many scoundrels.

*those fuckers are really annoying, can`t they just leave me alone?* Neuron asked himself after he warded off the third thief but it didn´t seem like it since soon after he was attacked again

*Fuck it* Neuron thought while dropping the backpacks and running into a alleyway, from there he jumped up to a roof while equipping his scrap mantle and then he jumped down to make it seem like the carrier of both backpacks run away.

*What the heck, I was gone for just a few seconds and there is already a thief who is shouldering them?* Neuron thought while he went near him and tapped him on the shoulder while saying.

“Hello, those backpags you are trying to take belong to me” Neuron said in his alias of the smiling Chinese

“Piss off, those are mine” the thief said without turning around while he struggled to lift them up

“Can`t do that” Neuron only said while he bent forward and looked the thief into the eyes while activating his Hawkeyes and the effect was immediate. The thief jerked heavily and then he whispered:”The smiling Chinese”

“Yeah, that’s me” Neuron only said and then he added:”Now piss off” and without even waiting for a reply he grabbed the backpacks who were still in the hands of the thief who let them go as if they where scorching hot and while muttering some excuses he hurried away.

So now Neuron was again shouldering those backpacks while looking in every direction with his Hawkeyes when he received another message

K “Break into the castle! Are you nuts!! The castle is located in the middle of a lake; to get there you have to either get yourself a boat but something like that can be spotted easily and surely they are going to inspect everyone at the port of the castle. Swimming is out of option too since you will only be target practice for them, and then come the walls of the castle……. You know what, scratch that last part but seriously it is impossible, even for you!”

*I have my doubts too but I am not going to tell him that* Neuron thought and so he wrote.” Let that be my worry”

And after that he continued undisturbed till he arrived at the river which acted as border for the slum, but while walking Neuron couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. And indeed each and every thief inside the slum tried to catch a glimpse of their idol and role model.

And no guards were patrolling the slum at night either since it would just be a waste of resources, but this changed as soon as he crossed the bridge, of course the patrols where a lot fewer than within the noble district bit since Neuron was hopelessly overloaded he couldn´t outrun even the sleepiest guard.

Luckily everything went well and so now he stood beneath the window leading to the room he rented. There Neuron dropped both backpacks climbed into the room and pulled them up with a mana thread.

Once the job was done Neuron dropped onto the bed exhausted while he checked the system log which he disabled since all it showed was how his stamina was consumed.

*This was torture but surprisingly it was worth it* Neuron thought after he counted every skill point he got.

In total it where +2 strength, +1 Dexterity, +3 Sustenance and even +1 Vitality.

After he got to know that Neuron started to doze off but then he remembered that he hadn`t any time and so he rose up and went to the window to get out of the room but before that he emptied Kyle’s backpack on the floor to have a spare in case he would find something worth taking with him if he managed to break into the castle.

Out of the backpack many things fell and hit the ground with metallic sounds but Neuron was too eager to scout out the castle to look at whatever Kyle was carrying around.

Now Neuron was climbing the magic tower since it was the highest building within the whole city and Neuron needed the height advantage to get a good look at the castle since it was build nearly at the center of the lake. While climbing the tower Neuron had one difficulty to clear, this was the office of the head mage.

It had windows all around it, normally the head mage would be sound asleep by now but since he had something to study he was still awake which was indicated by the light that came out from the windows

Neuron managed to clear that obstacle with a double jump, of course he could have easily climbed the last distance but the jumping option was much faster and so Neuron was now making himself comfortable on the roof of the tower while looking at the castle taking his time since the head mage had interrupted him earlier.

The castle was like he saw earlier build on an island, its walls forming a square with a watchtower on each edge and one tower in the middle of the square where Neuron also could see a building but the walls facing the city where too high to give him a clear sight.

Facing the city, or south, was a little harbor so that the boats which were bringing provisions could be unloaded. This harbor was nearly empty, only a handful of boats were tied to the port of course all of them where decorated beyond what would be reasonable and one boat stuck out in particular.

Due those decorations all those ships wouldn`t be able to survive one day at the open see but for a lake it was sufficient.

The only reaction those boats managed to get from Neuron was *Show offs, why don´t they use their money for more useful things….?*

Behind the port was the castle gate which of course was closed, and so Neuron directed his gaze towards the watchtowers and walls to see how many guards have been stationed on lookout.

On both towers facing the city two guards were stationed while on the other two only one guard stood, or well leaned on their weapon since it was already quite late or really early, depending on the point of view of the person being awake.

*Good, First I need to get close to those walls and the rest is child’s play* Neuron thought while he estimated the distance he had to cross to reach them *Damn this looks to be at least 100m, even if I had the skill to swim it would be like Kyle said* Neuron thought while he alternated his gaze from the harbor of Saramas to the castle and back again.

*This is nuts* Neuron commented the idea he just got but since he hadn`t another option Neuron just climbed back down to the ground and headed back into his room to unload some stuff from his backpack.

Now much lighter since Neuron left behind almost everything, he only took five throwing knifes and his two throwing axes, and his scrap mantle was already equipped while in his bocket was the class cutter for the case he needed it.

Within his backpack where some food rations which should be able to last for at least three days since Neuron was unaware what hardships he would have to face inside the castle. Also in his backpack was the garment of the latest fashion he bought on his first day, Neuron decided to take it along although reluctantly since he realized the need of a good disguise.

Neuron directed his steps towards the harbor while thinking *I never thought I would feel kind of naked without my quiver and bow, but wow those arrows sure weight a ton* Neuron thought after he executed a jump to land on the roof of a near house and flew a few meters over it without even using the second jump option.

As soon as he arrived at the harbor Neuron began to execute his plan which mainly involved sneaking onto two ships which was rather easy since everyone was fast asleep even those who where on guard duty.

Now done Neuron placed himself on the harbor facing the lake while the castle was at his right side there he took a mana ball out and while holding it within his right hand he thought *Is that really a good idea?*

But since he hadn`t any other option Neuron decided to go for it while thinking: *Kyle is right, I am crazy*, then he activated the rubber band which he fastened on the top of two ship masts beforehand.

First everything seemed to go well, Neuron deactivated the rubber band as soon as he was near the two masts so that he won´t just dangled there while being ripped apart by the huge force. His flight was stable and he headed right where he aimed to which was the water near the west wall of the castle; Neuron even brought a tube with him so that he would be able to breathe underwater because the splash which would rise after Neuron hit the water like a meteor would surely cause some unwanted attention.

But during the middle of his flight everything went awry. While Neuron was flying a gust of wind suddenly blew him towards the right, first Neuron didn´t realize it but after he looked in front to where he was headed Neuron noticed that something wasn`t going according to plan.

*shit, shit, shit* Neuron thought desperately while the southwest tower of the castle came closer an closer, and as a last ditch effort Neuron performed a jump to at least propel himself over the tower because crashing into whatever came after was preferable to crashing straight into solid rock.

“Hey did you see that?” one of the guards who was stationed on lookout at the top of one of the four defense towers said to a fellow guard

“No, what?”

“I thought I saw a shadow flying right over us” he answered

“No way, it surely was a bird or you are way too tired, right before you where bitching about this being your third night shift in a row”

“Guess you are right” he answered

While Neuron was flying over the tower a system message appeared but Neuron hadn`t the leisure to read it.

* You are the first to enter the royal castle of Agakyos +100 fame!

Since you broke in the fame is negated.

While they talked about that Neuron had more serious issues since he was now facing the ground which came closer at a really fast pace and so he just covered his head with his hands to safeguard it since even though he had the skill cats body It wouldn`t be able to soften the crash landing he was now facing at all.

* You have crash landed! -30%hp

Fortunately for Neuron there was a bush right at the point of impact who at least partially softened his landing but the gardener wouldn´t say so since Neurons body completely ruined his meticulous work to shape it into an elephant, but of course Neuron hadn´t the time to admire his artistic feat.

But that little greenery wasn`t able to stop him completely and so Neuron just bounced off the ground and continued to fly for a few meters till

* You crashed into a statue -20%Hp

Neuron barely managed to suppress his shout of pain into a grunt while he laid there holding his head which hit the base of the statue while his feet got entangled with its arms but this wasn`t the time to indulge himself in the pain so Neuron grit his teeth, untangled his feet and moved away from the point of impact while limping.

Now Neuron was lying flat on the ground beneath a bush which was cut into a sphere. There he laid waiting for guards to show up because he must have made quite a noise. A minute passed, then five but nothing happened.

*What the heck, why is nobody coming, ain`t there no guards on patrol?* Neuron asked himself while he was holding his position but after ten minutes passed and no one came or even made a sound he got up from his hiding position and decided to scout out the place in which he landed.

After a quick tour Neuron was certain that the place where he landed was some sort of pleasure garden since wherever he looked bushes where cut into different shapes while statues stood around and a stone path led between them and small fountains who sprinkled their water out of every possible opening.

But Neuron hadn`t any eyes for this since he thought *What, not even one single guard patrolling I thought this was the royal castle?*

What Neuron didn´t know off was that since the castle was built in the middle of a lake they only needed lookouts to safeguard it. After all the castle could only be entered by boat and each boat was carefully checked for blind passengers before parting from the harbor and before docking onto the port of the castle.

*To hell with that I am going to scout the perimeter* Neuron thought irritated because he got kind of annoyed by the lack of guards and so he did while of course using stealth.

The castle was composed of its outer walls which formed a square while in the middle of it the residential building was build which was three stories high. At the middle of the square protruding right out of the back of the residential building the fifth tower stood while the castle courtyard seemed to stretch around the whole building, seemed because Neuron didn´t go around tzhe whole place since something caught his attention. This was a word engraved into a door which led into the northeast tower

*can it be that easy?* Neuron asked himself while scratching his head

* Prison

But since he wouldn´t come far by just standing there Neuron opened the door hoping that it would not creak which it didn´t *What, normally those doors should creak as hell to alarm guards of a prisoner escaping, but oh well Never look a gift horse in the mouth* Neuron thought while he went trough it an closed it behind himself.

Right after the door he just went through a staircase was going up and downwards and of course Neuron sneaked straight down and then finally he could hear some live in form of a guard saying:”Yeah, I won, now gimme the cash!” and another one grumbling while coins tinkled.

Neuron of course took this opportunity to look around the corner and what he saw would have discouraged any other thief. It was a square room which was bare of furnishing only a wooden table stood in the middle on top of which a candle was placed which flickered creating eerie shadows on the walls that originated from two soldiers who were sitting on simple chairs facing each other. On the back of the room Neuron could spot the entrance to another corridor.

*What dumbasses, they aren`t either facing the entrance to the room or the corridor which must lead to the cells.*

But since this made his work a lot easier Neuron just put his hands on the wall and connected himself to it. With that method Neuron climbed to the ceiling of the staircase he was in. *Damn my mantle is hanging down I have to remove it* Neuron thought and after that issue was cleared Neuron slowly climbed to the ceiling of the guard room like a giant creepy spider.

If one of those two would have looked upwards he would have gotten the scare of his live quite literally too since Neuron was prepared to kill but luckily for everyone involved the guards where too immersed within whatever card game they where playing and so Neuron hadn`t any trouble getting to the other side of the room and from there into the corridor.

As soon as he was away from the flickering light of the candle Neuron let himself drop down from the ceiling and equipped his scrap mantle again while he went down another staircase where again a door was placed which after slowly opening reacted like the one Neuron opened before

*Seriously!?* but like before Neuron just ignored it and headed on while the stench every medieval prison gave off tortured his nose.

*Why the hell do I smell shit, this game is way to realistic* Neuron thought while he was now holding his nose and closing the door since he feared that the guards would be able to pick up that stench and count one and one together.

Now that the door was closed again Neuron could concentrate on the task at hand which was kind of hard since he was still holding his nose but after a while he got accustomed to the smell and so his work of sneaking trough the prison while looking trough the iron bars into every cell which had the bare minimum within them, meaning a pile of hay at one end of the room and a bucket at the other.

*Come one, where are you!* Neuron asked himself while he tried to identify the prisoners which was hard since most of them where sleeping while their faces pointed to the walls, so Neuron hadn`t any option left than to wake up one of them. To increase the efficiency he activated his eyes of the judge to wake him up so that he wouldn`t need to shout.

After being looked upon for a few seconds the prisoner jerked up like he had a nightmare and screamed.

*FUCK* Neuron thought while some inmates woke up and shouted “shut up!” sounding like something like this happens now and then

At this point Neuron decided to step into action and so he put a scarf over his mouth, cleared his throat and said while using the persona he invented for the smiling Chinese:”Hey there, could anyone of you be of assistance?”

“Who are you?”, “Wait why are you outside!”, “Let me out” “Take me with you!” came the many replies but Neuron only said while using his most threatening voice on top of the Hawkeyes which where shining in a orange light while he turned around to look at everyone:“Trust me, You won´t like the place from where I am coming”

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

This worked too well but since everyone covered within one corner of their cell whimpering while the stench of piss got even stronger

“Good, now that this is cleared, I want you to show me where the guy is locked who will be sentenced to death the day after tomorrow” Neuron said again in a really happy voice

“What, what are you going to do to him?” One of the prisoners asked since being together inside a prison somehow gives one a sense of shared identity

“Just looking at one of my new toys” Neuron said casually and this finally made everyone believe that he was a true demon so everyone was eager to help out, they even woke up the guy in question.

“Thank you very much, now if you would please excuse me” Neuron said in a very polite voice while folding his hands and bowing towards the one who called for him.

“You, who, who are you” the leader of the bandits asked while stammering

“No one in particular, let’s just say that we share a common interest.” Neuron answered casually

“And what do you mean by that?” he asked warily so Neuron looked around to see what the other prisoners were doing but his threats worked so well that everyone was pretending to sleep so Neuron went closer the bars and motioned the bandit leader to do the same.

“Hey I know that you know me” Neuron said while he activated his eyes of the judge since this guy would never come in contact with someone who experienced them too, he was going to die within two days anyway and surely the bandit leader has spent his time in prison while cursing the two which where the cause of his imprisonment so it wouldn´t be a surprise if he even cursed them some more.

“You!” he whispered while becoming pale and backing away, and then he shouted:”Do you know how painful it was to be left there tied on that tree!”

“Well, that was the purpose of it after all…..” Neuron said casually and then he continued while hissing:”So shut your trap!”

“Just so you know, I won´t tell you anything” the bandit hissed back.

“Even if I promise that I will help you break out?” Neuron asked casually

“This isn’t fair!” “Yeah, bust us out too!” many replies came from the prisoners, but it only took one fierce glare of the Hawkeyes to shut them up again.

“You would do that?!” he asked and because Neuron nodded he continued:”So, let me out first and then I will tell it to you.”

“No, my game, my rules” Neuron only said while attempting to turn around

“No, wait, what would you like to know?” he asked and then Neuron motioned him to come closer.

As soon as their faces where about to meet Neuron whispered:”While we were fighting you said something like that you wanted to show them what you are worth, so who did you mean by they?”

“Mercenaries who are stationed in a fort within the forest.”

“Why are they stationed there?” Neuron asked

“I don`t know, but what I do know is that they are assholes!”

“Then could you at least tell me how many there are?” Neuron asked annoyed

“I don`t know, they were still recruiting at that time”

*Gosh, do I have to pull everything out of his nose?* Neuron thought and then he asked:“they, who do you mean by that?”

“I don`t know, I just heard some soldiers say it who recruited the mercenaries, by the way those soldiers had the emblem of the army of Saramas on their chest.” The bandit added because he somehow felt that Neurons patience was at its limit.

“Thanks for telling me that, now see you” Neuron said smilingly while he waved his goodbyes

“Hey, you promised me to let me out!” the bandit shouted towards his back

“Sorry, I had my fingers crossed” Neuron said while waving his left hand around while his left index finger crossed over his middle one.

“You fucking dirty bastard!” the bandit leader shouted and surely continued to do so but Neuron was already around a corner while a system message appeared

* Sadism +1

Because now everything was taken care of Neuron sneaked back towards the surface the same way he came inside, only difference was that both guards where now snoring happily while their heads where placed on the table and between them a empty bottle of some alcoholic beverage was placed.

~Sigh~ *And this calls itself royal guard* Neuron thought while he sauntered towards the exit both of his hands placed on the back of his head, now outside again Neuron breathed in the clear air while thinking

*This was somehow anticlimactic, so what should I do now, head back to the city, Kyle won`t be back within three and a half days so going to the fort in the forest is out of the question* Neuron thought while he looked at the castle tower.

*Since I am already in here I gotta use this chance* Neuron thought while he headed towards the castle tower to climb it to search himself a place to stay within its attic.

Luckily for Neuron the truss of the tower was easily accessible from the outside since it was completely open and so Neuron was now inside while searching himself a place to sleep. Of course this place had to be safe so Neuron was now sitting on one of the highest beams and fastening his backpacks on it and also himself for safety reasons, after all he wasn´t eager to dream about falling and then actually doing so.

Nine hours later Neuron woke up with a grumbling stomach and so he unpacked one of the rations he brought with him which consisted of bread and bacon to have a late lunch, and while munching Neuron thought what he should do now.

Scouting out the castle was a possibility but Neuron preferred to that while the sun was down since at that time the risk that someone would see him and asking him questions would decrease drastically, of course if he is seen it would be over instantly but Neuron had ways around it, and stealth is definitely working better during the night.

*Alright, time for some stats training* Neuron thought since he already promised himself to do so and now was the best time to start doing so.

First Neuron decided to do some chin-ups but even after he did a dozen of them he still felt no strain in his hands *Like this I will never get a increase in strength, maybe some push-ups?* Neuron thought but he still had the same problem.

*I need something that requires a lot of strength* Neuron thought *The only thing I have which could do so is…* Neuron thought and then he had an idea, so Neuron equipped his two throwing axes grabbed them tightly and connected the blades to the wooden beam and then he activated the rubber band standing on the beam while holding the axes tightly.

* You have crashed -50Hp

“ouuuuuch!” Neuron hissed laying on the beam face first since the pulling force of the rubber band was far greater than he anticipated.

*Yeah, that should do the job, but damn it hurts!* Neuron thought while he rubbed his nose.

Because what happened before Neuron seated himself between the two throwing axes and tried to lift them up but Neuron wasn`t strong enough to lift them with one hand so he grabbed one of the axes with both hands and lifted it up, from this position he put both his hands over his head and then down again.

*Wow, this surely is hard* Neuron thought satisfied before repeating the exercise, and like this Neuron continued to work out while inventing new exercises to perform as not to get bored by them too quickly.

While Neuron pulled on the axe he noticed that his Mana was being slowly consummated while the rubber band was being stretched and because of that Neuron was forced to take some breaks because he run out of mana. And during the afternoon Neuron got his first message.

* Strength +1

*Finally* Neuron thought while sweat dripped down from his body and onto the beam making it slippery but this little success cheered him up and so he continued to exercise with new found vigor. twenty minutes later

* Sustenance +1

*I don`t need that shit, gimme Strength!* Neuron thought while panting. Now Neuron decided to intensify the training a bit by adding another rubber band to it and because of that he was only able to lift the axe by a few centimeters before giving up but since this action only needed pure strength to be executed Neuron got another system message after half an hour

* Strength +1

*Yeah, exactly like that!* Neuron thought and after some time another system message appeared

* Mana Connection has leveled up!

Rubber band now costs 160Mp

The pulling force has increased

*Yes, this is like two birds with one stone!* Neuron thought cheerfully and then during early evening Neuron got interrupted with his routine

* You are starving!

Stamina is reduced by 50%

Stamina consumption is doubled

If you don´t eat soon you may die.

*Guess I have to eat* Neuron thought while he paused and went to open his backpack to take out something edible but when he opened it Neuron noticed that the food supply he had brought with him which should have lasted for more than two days was near extinction.

*What the hell!* Neuron thought not believing what he saw and then he remembered all the little breaks he had while exercising during which he ate since his satiety bar urged him to do so.

So Neuron hadn´t a choice but to replenish his food, so he gulped down everything he had left and went back to exercising with the plan in mind to steal every kind of food he would be able to. So he trained while his mind was filled with all the delicious types of food a castle would have in store and like this the time flew by till night fell on the city

Now Neuron was peeking out of the truss into the pleasure garden to see if anyone was outside, and just to be sure he also looked towards the northwest tower which was the only one he could see from his position, to see if the guard who was stationed there was performing its duty of looking at the sea.

As soon as Neuron was sure that nobody would be able to spot him he climbed out of the truss and slowly made his way down to the rood of the residential building. There he sneaked around the tower to see if anyone was outside.

As soon as he was sure that nobody was around he jumped down into the pleasure garden and searched himself a back entrance into the residential building.

Now Neuron was kneeling before a closed door fiddling with its lock while his stomach began growling because beyond the door he could smell all kinds of different flavors.

*Shut up* Neuron commended his stomach because it wasn`t of any help that his stomach was being as loud as a hungry beast while saliva was dripping out of his mouth. As soon as he was done Neuron opened the door and rushed inside the kitchen, and from there he was led by his nose into the food storage where he just grabbed a ham which was hanging from the ceiling taking a mighty bite out of it and with the least amount of chewing he swallowed only to take another bite.

~Gulp~ *Alright this has to suffice for now* Neuron thought after some more bites leaving the raped ham behind. Now Neuron was sneaking trough the castle while looking at all the wealth which was displayed but he soon came to a realization *how come that the king has less wealth on display than Rodban?*

A little sad about that fact Neuron was now strolling around since he soon came to realize that the whole castle was void of live, of course he was still sneaking but he wasn`t peaking around every corner like he did in his previous hour.

* Stealth has leveled up!

You are now harder to notice.

After another two hours Neuron finished scouting out the residential building. *Why are there no guards patrolling, don´t tell me they get here by ship* Neuron thought. Of course guards were stationed at the castle but since Neuron wouldn`t know where they were stationed or how the door to their quarters looked anyway Neuron couldn´t know, he didn`t open any door he passed anyway since he wasn´t eager to be surprised about what or who was behind it.

Sadly for him the scouting out

The whole residential building didn´t provide him anything he could pocket because most of the things he saw where paintings and armors, some jewelry which he just passed since they seemed less valuable than those exhibited within Rodbans mansion. Because he was already inside the castle Neuron decided to scout out the tower too although he didn´t expect to find anything.

Within the highest story of the tower Neuron was able to hear some signs of live but it wasn´t exactly the live he wanted to hear.

~klang~

“Don`t drop your spear, do you want to wake the king!” Neuron heard someone hiss before another voice answered.

“Sorry, this is my first nightshift, and I can`t believe we don`t have a change of guard here”

“Tell me about that” and then he added while whispering:”The King is an idiot tell him something about warfare and he closes his ears, I can`t believe he only lets 30 guards stay within the castle at all time, if we get attacked someday reinforcements have to arrive by ship but till they arrive everything will just be over”

*Damn this city has a mafia boss, a merchant which holds a monopoly and now a stupid king!, god I hate to be right* Neuron thought but then he pictured the layout of the tower came to know where the windows leading to the Kings chamber must be.

*Shall I break into the kings quarter?,….. Just for fun?* Neuron asked himself while he turned around and went down the stairs the plan already set in stone.

But Neuron wasn´t a complete idiot so he waited some time to make the guards even more sleepy and to do so he went down a staircase which he saw while he scouted out the ground floor but deemed it unnecessary to follow them

At the end of said stair Neuron stood before a door which was enforced by metal bands and by the low sound it made after knocking on it Neuron realized that it was quite thick. *this must be the treasury, but what a lock!* Neuron thought after he saw that the lock was made out of a Cross of Lorraine, of course he didn´t know what it was called but the outline of the lock which consisted of a vertical line crossed by two shorter horizontal bars spoke their own language of being impossible to lock pick.

Since Neuron couldn’t do anything about it he went back into the food storage to take what he wanted. After he was finished Neuron shouldered his now heavy backpack and went out the door he lock picked to close it again. After he did so the message that he couldn´t learn the skill appeared but Neuron immediately deleted it and began to climb the residential building.

After he was on its roof Neuron huffed for air because the backpack was way heavier than he thought it would be, so he climbed the tower by himself and pulled the backpack up after he was again inside the truss. There he placed it on the beam where he trained and then he climbed out again to perform his plan which was crazy and stupid at the same time.

After Neuron got in place he peeked through the window only to see a ridiculous large room with a canopy bed in one end in which three people could easily sleep without touching each other, and in the middle of that bed a single man was sleeping while it seemed like he was being suffocate by the sheets and pillows who were about everywhere.

After Neuron made sure that the figure was sleeping literally soundly Neuron pushed against the window to see if it was open which it of course wasn´t. But Neuron had a way around it so he pulled out his class cutter and cut a hole into the window. Then he connected his hand to it and pulled it out, after he had the class within his hand he connected it to the wall of the tower and reached through the hole he just made to grab the window catch to open it.

After the window was open, this happened with a few acrobatic feats from Neuron since the window opened itself outwards, Neuron climbed trough and snuck near the king who was flailing around in his bed as if he noticed that someone was watching him.

*Too easy!* Neuron complained in his mind and then his thoughts diverged to a dark topic.

*Should I kill him?,……… Better not* Neuron thought because he feared the trouble this action would cause *Then, should I give him a fright?* Neuron voiced another thought while rubbing his chin.

End Chapter 42

Yeah, I know it is a cliffhanger but I wanted to read your opinions about what neuron should do to the king :twisted:
