To test whether this disguise would succeed, Yamabuki and Saitō Furōfushi walked swaggeringly forward.
However, they hadn't gone far before they encountered two people.
The two people approaching clearly had no guard up. They simply brushed past each other. Yamabuki gave a thumbs-up, indicating that this was fine.
Saitō Furōfushi made an OK gesture, thinking, 'I'm such a clever little one.'
Just then, the two people suddenly turned around and asked, "How come we haven't seen you two before? Whose subordinates are you?"
Yamabuki and Saitō Furōfushi's steps instantly froze. Yamabuki gave Saitō Furōfushi a look: "Should we take them out here?"
Saitō Furōfushi returned the look: "Don't panic yet, let me try them."
Saitō Furōfushi lightly coughed, then turned her head and revealed a very girlish smile: "We're here for the shift change."
These two Quincy noticed that the newcomers were a cute girl and relaxed their guard slightly, but they still found a suspicious point: their appearances were completely different.
The Shinigami generally had standard East Asian faces, while most of these Quincy came from the West and had Western facial features.
Of course, this wasn't absolute. For example, Ishida Oborozuki, whom they had seen before, had parents who were East-West mixed, so she looked more East Asian.
"Shift change? What's the password?"
A password for a shift change?
Yamabuki was getting annoyed when he suddenly saw Saitō Furōfushi looking at the two Quincy behind them with a terrified expression, then giving a very proper salute: "Your Majesty!"
"Huh? His Majesty is here?" The two Quincy hurriedly turned to kneel, and then they were knocked unconscious by these two scoundrels.
"I told you we should have just knocked them out directly, what a waste of time." Yamabuki grumbled.
"It's rare to play a semi-spy game, so of course, we have to have some fun. Besides, we can't just wander around aimlessly; we need to know where their His Majesty resides." Saitō Furōfushi slapped one of the Quincy hard twice, waking him up.
The Quincy was bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened. It was like hearing someone say His Majesty had arrived, and then being knocked unconscious.
Wait... could these two be enemies?
Saitō Furōfushi held a sword tightly against the Quincy's throat: "I ask, you answer. If you dare to shout or give an irrelevant answer, I'll cut off your head directly, understood?"
The Quincy nodded hurriedly.
It seemed not every Quincy was fearless of death; most were still ordinary people.
"Where does Yhwach live?" Yamabuki asked.
"You... you dare to call His Majesty by name... who exactly are you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the tip of Saitō Furōfushi's Zanpakutō had already pierced the Quincy's skin.
"Try saying one more useless word?" Saitō Furōfushi said with an ill expression.
"His Majesty lives in the central palace, but that palace is guarded by His Majesty's Royal Guard. Ordinary people simply cannot enter." The Quincy said, trembling.
"Royal Guard???" Yamabuki had a bad feeling as soon as he heard that name.
The Royal Guard a thousand years later were incredibly strong.
All sorts of bizarre abilities were rampant.
The Miracle that couldn't be killed, the Compulsory that dominated all things, the Everything Penetrates that ignored defense, the Pernida that was a guaranteed kill on first sight.
If the Royal Guard of this era also possessed the same level of strength...
Yamabuki felt his brain ache.
However, the Wandenreich's combat power a thousand years ago should not be comparable to a thousand years later.
After all, a thousand years later, Vollständig was developed, which could maximize the Quincy's power.
"How do we get to the central palace?" Yamabuki asked again.
"Follow this path straight ahead until you reach the end, where you'll see a golden gate. That's where His Majesty slumbers." The Quincy said tremblingly: "I'm just a small soldier. I don't know anything else. Please let me go."
Letting him go is impossible. Taking him back for experiments is already our greatest mercy.
After saying that, he was knocked unconscious and piled to the side.
If he truly succeeded in assassinating Yhwach, these test subjects wouldn't be needed. If he failed...
He would most likely not leave here alive, nor would he be able to take these test subjects with him.
After Yamabuki and Saitō Furōfushi hid the unconscious people, they continued forward.
Along the way, they encountered three more guard posts, and no one suspected their identities.
However, just as they thought they had succeeded, a powerful aura emerged from ahead.
Yamabuki slightly raised an eyebrow, then pulled down his hat.
Appearing in their sight was the officer who had passed them earlier, apparently also a member of the Sternritter.
This was a middle-aged man, around thirty, with a head shaped like a bitter gourd, oval-shaped, a small tuft of hair combed on top, wearing glasses, and fair skin, giving him a comical and grotesque appearance.
Yamabuki and Saitō Furōfushi had both suppressed their spiritual pressure, so ordinary people couldn't feel any change in their spiritual pressure.
And this officer clearly didn't notice anything unusual about the two people in front of him; he simply brushed past them.
Originally, Yamabuki thought it would pass simply like that, but unexpectedly, the officer suddenly turned and pointed at Saitō Furōfushi.
"How come I haven't seen you before?" The officer suddenly asked.
Saitō Furōfushi feigned a smile, turned her head, and said, "I'm new."
"New???" The officer strode up to Saitō Furōfushi, saying with a suspicious tone: "I've seen all the new people. If there was a girl as cute as you, I'd definitely remember. Hmm, not bad. Come with me, spend the night with me."
"Ah????" Saitō Furōfushi looked bewildered.
What was happening?
"It seems you don't understand our rules yet, do you? Subordinates must unconditionally obey their superiors' orders. I am the top superior in this area, so my orders are absolute. And serving your superior is also one of your duties. Come with me!" The officer reached out to grab Saitō Furōfushi's wrist.
Saitō Furōfushi's eyebrows twitched wildly: "I can't stand it, I want to punch him!"
Yamabuki hadn't expected these Quincy to play so rough.
However, thinking about the Wandenreich a thousand years later, Bambietta Basterbine seemed to have similar habits, or even more extreme ones.
"Okay. Hit him!" Yamabuki said.
This person should be the strongest Quincy in this area.
Instantly knocking him down would surely clear the path ahead.
