Aiden was on the tree, not making any sounds waiting for the perfect opportunity to drop down so that he could find a place to go inside the castle.

Seeing the guards look away a second time, Aiden dropped down and started running while trying to find some type of entrance for him to go in.

‘Just where can I enter this place? Don’t tell me there’s only one entrance.’

If there was going to be one entrance then it would have been a big problem for Aiden since what he needed to do was go in without being noticed.

He was only trying to get information about who owned this place and who lived in it. 

He wasn’t trying to find anybody, the task he had given himself was to simply observe.

As he kept running around the castle trying to find a window that was unlocked or anything that could help him enter, he perceived what seemed to be a garden.

But it wasn’t a garden you could find in other places, there was a beautiful pathway made of stone that was surrounded by beautiful flowers.

Seeing this, Aiden decided to get closer to it because that would probably be his best bet to enter the castle.

But as he got closer, he started hearing people in that garden talk, so he slowed down immediately not making a single as he started listening to what they were saying.

“Did you hear about Alex?” said one of the voices.

“No why?”

“He said to have created the elixir,” said the voice which contained excitement.

Hearing them talk about the elixir, Aiden got closer wanting to hear more about it. He wanted to least know what both of these guys would look like.

Because if he saw what both of them looked like, he could use that information to his advantage by maybe going after them later.

So, Aiden peeked his head and saw two men who were extremely built, Aiden had never seen people this big.

Their muscles seemed to bulge out of their body, and rotating their body would probably be a difficult task for them.

‘Can they even move with all those muscles on their body?’ thought Aiden as he was imagining a scene where they would start running around.

But what Aiden needed to look at wasn’t their body but their faces as that was the most important thing for him.

When he looked at both their faces, two beeping sounds were heard in his mind almost simultaneously.

*Beep*

[You have detected one of the generals that you need to kill.]

*Beep*

[You have detected one of the generals that you need to kill.]

Reading those two messages, Aiden was shocked, were those two muscular guys both generals?

If that was the case then the <Trial Objective> had gotten a lot easier.

Aiden gaged both of them as they continued talking about the elixir and a certain Alex.

“Are you talking about that Elixir?” continued one of the two generals.

“What else would I be talking about?”

“No way, I can’t wait to use it.”

As they continued talking about the Elixir, Aiden started thinking about what its effects would be for the two of the strongest of this world to be talking about it so excitedly that they couldn’t wait to get their hands on it.

‘It’ll probably be able to upgrade my stats even more than that little potion at the store earlier.’

Having spotted two out of three generals that were left to find. Aiden decided that the best course of action would be to wait for them to leave this castle at night.

When they would leave the castle, they would separate themselves and it would be the best time for Aiden to act. 

The perfect plan for Aiden would be to kill them in their sleep as they would have no way of protecting themselves.

So, Aiden decided to go back and leave the territory of this castle and hid in a bush, waiting for them to come out of the castle later at night.

Climbing and jumping down from the fence without being noticed by the guards, Aiden now needed to find a spot to have a clear view of who entered and who left this place.

He thought for a bit and decided to climb on a tree that was like 200 meters from the castle’s main entrance waiting for them to come out.

It was currently the afternoon as the sun was still out, so Aiden would probably have to wait quite a bit for them to come out of there.

One hour passed, and they didn’t leave yet.

Two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours passed. 

It was now dark outside which made Aiden think that maybe the generals didn’t have a home outside of this gigantic castle and that maybe they lived inside of it.

He had no other option, he would have to go into the castle and kill them there but it would probably be highly guarded.

However, he didn’t want to wait for another day before killing at least a general. 

He needed to advance his quest after all.

Then he decided that it was time for him to infiltrate the castle as it was completely dark outside. 

‘I should probably enter by the garden, there will be fewer guards,’ thought Aiden as he made his way toward the garden by jumping over the fence and landing inside of it.

He made sure that no one was in the garden and then jumped down

He landed in the garden flawlessly without making any noise as he started making his way toward the door that led inside the mansion.

However, before he could do so, someone behind was calling him.

“Oh, a visitor how nice,” said the man as he watched the back of Aiden.

‘How is someone behind me? I’m sure that I checked there wasn’t anybody,’ thought Aiden, panicking a little.
