The Author's POV

Staring at Kevin who was busy controlling his drone in the air, I impatiently asked.

"You got something?"

Staring at his watch as he monitored the drone in the sky, Kevin shook his head.

"Nothing yet"

It's been about a couple of hours since Kevin, Silug, and I were waiting outside of the perimeter of the castle.

As Kevin was able to enter the castle through the use of a skill that he had acquired a couple of months prior back in the novel, for obvious reasons, I couldn't replicate the same method he had used to enter the castle.

...If only there was only a secret passage.

*Sigh*

Sighing inwardly, I knew that lamenting at my past decisions was stupid as my past self would've never been able to know that I was going to enter my own novel.

...but I still did it anyway as I needed someone to vent my frustrations against.

In the end, as I didn't know of any secret passage that led to the inside of the castle, we could only scout the castle using Kevin's drone to get a better idea of how to sneak in.

Interlocking my arms together as I stretched my body, I asked.

"How much more time do you need?"

Staring at his watch intently, Kevin shook his head.

"I'm not sure, because I don't want to get caught I'm currently operating the drone at an altitude of four kilometers...it's hard to get a proper read from that height"

Surprised by the information, I asked.

"four kilometers?"

"Yeah, since we aren't sure on who is in the castle, the safest height to surveil would be that"

"I see..."

Kevin's words weren't without merit.

Although Marquess Azeroth wasn't present in the castle, as we still weren't fully aware of who was inside, it was never wrong to take extra precautions.

Moreover, since demons could fly, the chances of the drone getting discovered weren't low despite the fact that it had a cloaking system.

Thus, such a high altitude made sense.

Plus, with how advanced technology was, that height still didn't impede the drone from scanning the castle below.

"Alright, I think I got a general idea of the layout of the castle"

After another ten minutes of surveying the castle, nodding his head, Kevin tapped on his watch as a three-dimensional model of the castle appeared before him.

"Good"

"Khhr...hm?"

Taken aback, Silug who was standing next to Kevin showed a surprised look on his face as he looked at the holographic image that appeared before Kevin.

Pointing towards the castle, he curiously asked as his deep voice resounded across the area.

"What is that?"

Turning towards Silug, speaking in Latrvian, Kevin responded.

"It's called a hologram and one of the castles before us"

Confused, Silug repeated.

"Hulogram?"
