Through the opportunity of inviting his subordinates for drinks here the past two days, he quietly familiarized himself with the environment of this area and found the location of the special warehouse in the dock district.
This warehouse is located on one side of Dung Gate, right next to the city wall. The other side of the city wall is the city guard's police station. Although separated by a city wall, as soon as anything happens at this warehouse, the Gold Cloaks from the police station will immediately set out, bypass the city gate, and arrive at the warehouse, taking at most only a few minutes.
This warehouse is used by some large merchants to store relatively valuable goods. Normally, they are guarded by their own merchant caravan guards, but this time, the people responsible for the security of the goods in the warehouse are not only merchant caravan guards but also the Gold Cloaks of the city guard, which makes some people curious about what goods are stored in the warehouse.
Linde was also one of those curious about the warehouse goods. In fact, a few days ago, after he heard Littlefinger's smuggling activities from Todd's Pumpkin, he had already become curious about these goods that were so highly valued by him, and had a little idea. His hospitality these past two days was also preparation for this matter.
The reason he chose to act today was because after the martial arts tournament began tomorrow, Mace Tyrell would leave his comfortable little house in the city and stay with other great nobles in the camp tents outside the city until the martial arts tournament ended. At that time, he would be responsible for the security of the camp and would have no time to do anything else.
Furthermore, although Linde was curious about the goods in the warehouse, he was not someone who would recklessly pursue secrets. If it didn't affect him, he would satisfy his curiosity. But if things became difficult and he wasn't confident he could enter and exit the warehouse without a trace, then he wouldn't take the risk.
When the warehouse was first built, the builders might have considered the security of the warehouse, so they left a large open space around it and installed some torches around the warehouse, which allowed the guards guarding the warehouse to clearly see if anyone was approaching, even late at night.
The idea was good, but as time went on, even the best ideas would change. Later builders constructed warehouses on all the originally reserved open land to increase storage capacity, and the carefully arranged guard posts were abandoned. Only a fence that even a child could climb over was added around the warehouse, and two guards were stationed at the entrance, with some patrolling personnel added around the warehouse.
The small tavern where Linde and his men had been drinking these past two days was across the street from this warehouse. Although it was just a not-very-tall thatched-roof house, and sitting by the window couldn't see what was inside the fence, Linde still used his extraordinary hearing to discern the number of people and the approximate routes of the patrol teams inside and outside the warehouse fence.
Additionally, he had also mastered the patrol schedule of the city guard. Although Janos Slynt had promised Littlefinger to protect the goods in the warehouse, having accepted money, he clearly didn't take this matter seriously. He didn't send anyone to guard the warehouse with Littlefinger's men, only dispatching a few patrol teams to patrol near the warehouse at irregular intervals.
Linde, who had already figured out the patrol routine, waited for a while in a shadowy corner outside the warehouse. After that period's patrol passed, he quickly and agilely climbed over the warehouse wall and landed inside the warehouse. Then, like some kind of feline, he quickly rushed to the nearest corner of the warehouse wall, easily climbed onto the warehouse roof using some uneven wooden boards on the wall, and then completely lay flat on the roof, crawling silently across the roof like a lizard.
Although Linde's height has now reached approximately one meter ninety-eight, and his physique is more than double what it was in White Village, making him look like an upright bear, his agility has not diminished at all as the combat experience memories of Peace Envoy have fully integrated into him, completely surpassing ordinary people.
With his agile movements, Linde reached the roof of Littlefinger's warehouse without alarming any guards.
He slowly moved to the edge of the roof near the wall, then flipped over, gripping the protruding parts of the wall with his fingers, and stepping on some protruding points with his feet, slowly moving down until he reached a high window on the second floor of the warehouse wall.
He pulled out his dagger, inserted it into the crack of the high window, moved it left and right, found the window latch, and slowly pushed the latch up, successfully opening the window and looking inside the warehouse.
Several oil lamps hung in the warehouse, making it very dim. The reason for not lighting torches was perhaps a concern about fire.
For safety, people were also arranged to guard the warehouse, but arranging them or not made no difference, because the guards were already drunk. Judging from the wine bottles on the table, they had drunk a lot and were sleeping soundly, with snoring filling the entire warehouse.
Although the guards inside the warehouse no longer posed a threat, Linde's movements were still very careful. He slightly lifted the wooden window, then squeezed his sturdy body into the window opening, inching his way into the warehouse.
After entering the warehouse, he slightly lowered the window, then reached up and grabbed the overhead beam, moving little by little to the second-floor railing. Stepping on the sturdy railing, he avoided the loose floorboards that could easily make noise, and arrived at the area where goods were stored in the warehouse.
The entire warehouse had been rented by Littlefinger, so he didn't spend much time finding the goods.
