Lin Wu could see many new markers on the map which included locations of interest, positions of cultivators, and those of the beasts and spirit beasts. Overall, there were over a hundred thousand markers on the map.
Lin Wu set the filters and which only highlighted the markers that he wanted to see, but even now there were over a thousand markers on the map. Even the map itself was much larger than that of the deer wood city by about four times.
This meant that the capital's size was equal to that of four Deer wood cities. There were various buildings in the city including the temple of the three guardian beasts and even an ancestral worship temple.
Lin Wu saw a lot of markers that showed cultivators around the ancestral temple too, which was probably due to the Annual ancestral worship that was going to happen in the coming few days.
Lin Wu had been hearing the conversation of the people all this time and knew that the reason for the people coming to the capital at this time was due to that. Even at the entrance, the long line of carriages was due to the same thing.
Lin Wu's first goal was to further upgrade the system's data banks and thus he selected the places that would have books and documents. Among the selected places the one that had the most of them was the Royal Library.
It was also the closest to Lin Wu's position, and thus he selected this place. But the problem was getting there undetected. There were far too many guards everywhere and Lin Wu would have to be very careful in sneaking in there.
Though he didn't have to particularly enter the library itself, as long as he could get in a ten meter range, the system would be able to scan it.
"System, plot a safe route to the royal library." Lin Wu ordered.

CHARTING A ROUTE: Please wait a moment...
ROUTE FOUND: Activating Navigation HUD

The navigation pointer appeared in front of Lin Wu and he saw the route on the map as well.
"Damn, this is quite long…" Lin Wu said, seeing the route.
The royal library was about half a kilometer from his location to the west. But to go there, the route that the system had plotted was long and winding. It went through the city and then entered the ground from one of the empty plots in the city garden and then went straight to the basement of the Royal library. From there, he would have to sneak in and infiltrate the rest of the part.
~huu~
"Better get to it…" Lin Wu said before climbing down from the roof of the courtyard.
He directly dug into the ground and bypassed the formations due to having the 'key' from Shirong. He came out of the ground in one of the houses one kilometer away and then crawled on the roads while hiding along the corners.
He eventually reached the city garden, where he was almost detected by the guards.
"Hey what's there!" The guard exclaimed, alerting his companion that was nearby.
Now Lin Wu could not move nor act as there was an even greater chance that he would be seen that way. Instead, he thought for a bit and let the two guard's approach him in the dark corner along a wall.
"Huh? It's a spear?" The guard said.
The guard bent down to check closer and noticed the gleam of the spear. His eyes lit up as he realized he had found something really valuable.
"Haha! What luck! We found a treasure." The guard said to his companion.
"Are you sure we should take it? What if it belongs to someone powerful?" The companion of the guard questioned.
"If it is lying like this, the owner either threw it away or it does not belong to anyone. Besides, as long as we don't tell anyone, they won't find out." The guard said before kneeling beside Lin Wu, who was in the form of a spear.
The guard held onto the spear and tried to pick it up.
"What the hell! Is it stuck or something?" The guard exclaimed upon finding it very difficult to lift the crystal spear.
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Come help me pick it up." The guard asked.
"I don't feel good man. This does not seem right." The second guard said.
"Bah! Just shut up and help me." The first guard said in an annoyed tone.
"If you say so…" The other guard said before kneeling beside the man and putting his hands on the crystal spear.
But the moment both of the guard's hands were on the spear something shocking happened.
"What the-" Before the guard could yell, his mouth was muffled.
The second guard could not do anything either and found himself unable to breathe. The two guards discovered that the spear in their hands had suddenly become limp and was now wrapped around their mouths.
It did not stop there though as the spear then coiled around their neck, choking them. The two guards tried to move it but found it to be impossible. Not only was the grip of that spear too strong, but the weight also made it impossible for them to move.
A minute later, both the guards were unconscious and Lin Wu let go of them.
~phew~
"The old video game assassin trick really works, huh…" Lin Wu said before dragging the two men to a nearby area.
There were a few stone chairs here, along with a table.
"Ah, a perfect picnic table." Lin Wu said before setting the two men there.
He then took out a bottle from his inventory. He opened the mouths of the men and poured the contents of the bottle into their mouths before slumping their heads on the table. He then placed the empty bottle there while spraying some amount on their clothes.
"There we go. Two drunk guards, slacking on their duty." Lin Wu said while looking at his handiwork.
