"I thought you died in a woman's belly." Rosie sneered in the darkness.
They met in the dark woods. On the other side of the castle, bells rang. "Barton is dead." Lu Yuewu said. She checked the prince's room and found nothing in it but a puddle of minced meat. "Completely dead. She killed him." Nianta passed out. She looked like a night witch, but she was sleeping peacefully. She was quiet and beautiful, like a delicate porcelain doll. She didn't look at all. Danger. It was still early before dawn and she would get some sleep.
The bells rang, slowly and mournfully, thump, thump, thump. They did the same thing when Prince Oberyn died.
The alchemist was leaning against a tree and panting violently. There was a piece of flesh missing from his chest, which was tightly wrapped with a strip of cloth. He carefully placed the expensive and rare turtle-shaped rune stone and kept it close to his body. The hot temperature can dispel the coldness in the body. He is shivering, his face is pale due to excessive blood loss, and he can only stand with the help of the killer.
"Is everyone here?" he asked weakly.
"Brand hasn't arrived yet."
The cold wind was blowing in the woods, and the upright palm trees seemed to be watching them like silent guards. Their eyes were cold and full of anger. Are they also feeling sorrow and hatred for the death of their king? In the dark shadow, the lights of the castle became dim, as if they were the light of the soul ignited from the distant other world.
"Wait for him." Leo said.
Everyone gathered next to him, waiting for his decision. The knights and the arakkoa tribe were fully armed, their swords and armor were stained with blood. They fought all the way. This was the way he had expected. However, with the bachelor lady accompanying them, he believed that they would not leave any obvious traces that would make people aware of the situation. The search ends here. On the other side, Lu Yuewu's body had some injuries, but she was fine. She was what he was most worried about, but she looked extremely relaxed. There was a sparkle in her eyes, more sparkling than every moment before, more vibrant, more beautiful than the stars in the sky. She must have encountered something, Leo thought, but at this moment he could only suppress the doubt for the time being. He looked at the sky, Aurora must still be sleeping He kept praying.
"How long do we have to wait?" Rosie frowned and said, "I told you a long time ago that I can't trust him."
Leo was silent, he had no choice but to defend himself. Facing Rosie's question, he turned his head and closed his eyes to escape. "Speak." Rosie asked again and again. He kept his mouth tightly shut, should he say it was because she couldn't control magic? He couldn't say anything when he saw her short hair that had lost its flame luster.
¡°Rosie¡ª¡ª¡± Miss Bachelor started to speak hesitantly, only to receive a reluctant snort from her.
"¡ª¡ªDon't bring a whole team of soldiers"
"I'm here." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woods. Three dark shapes stepped out from behind the palm trees. Brand took off his dark hood, revealing a face that had lost half of its flesh. It looked like a ghost in the dark, which was particularly terrifying. "Their spell is broken," he said to Leo.
The captain of the guard, Yahan, held Princess Nymeria's hand and said, comforting her, "It's safe, don't worry, we're safe." He took off his hood and saluted Leo, beat his chest, "Your great kindness, I will remember it forever."
Leo nodded to him with difficulty. "What's the use of talking about this now?" Rosie snorted coldly, looking anxious and anxious. "Escape is the most important thing."
"I'll open the way." The captain of the guard said, grabbing the halberd he snatched from the guard.
"No need, no need." The killer chuckled, "Let's quickly change clothes first."
The killer pulled out a package from under a dead tree. "Wear warmly." The killer ordered, "Wear dark clothes. We are going to get on the ship. There are huge waves and icebergs on the sea." The package was stuffed with clothes, cloaks, and pairs of different sizes that he must have stolen. A pair of shoes with square toes and flat soles, simple and durable. They didn't say anything. They wrapped their cloaks tightly around them, but didn't cover their faces.
"Let's go." Leo struck the ground with his sword, "Assassin, lead the way."
"I have to go ahead and walk with him"
"No need, Rosie." Leo stopped her, "Lead the way, killer, I believe you."
The killer turned his head and looked at him for a while. "Few people believe me so much." He put away his expression of laughter and scolding, and said with rare seriousness, "Nigel has never been like this either. You are the first, alchemist, to hug the guy who once threatened the enemy. With all my trust. I don¡¯t know whether to call you smart or stupid.¡±
"He's an idiot." Rosie said angrily.
? ?Yes, he felt like this too. "I'm just lazy."
"Lazy people are lucky." The killer chuckled, "I promise, Leo, you will get more than you imagine." He only said half of what he said, and then he waved, "Since you believe Me, and you all trust the alchemist, then come with me. Miss Mage, I allow you to put the dagger on my waist."
"No need." She gritted her teeth.
The killer shrugged, "Then keep close and don't fall behind." He meandered through the dense forest, turning east and west, and soon Leo felt that he had lost his way. "Don't be angry. You should be careful when escaping. I just made sure that we were walking in the middle of the forest. No one will find us here. I can't guarantee that no one will break in during the chaos elsewhere."
He was right. Leo told them to keep their mouths shut and obey.
After walking a few steps, the bells in the whole city rang, and everyone responded. They lowered their heads, walked in the shadows, and followed the killer. "Out of the woods, you have to be extra careful. Pull up your hood." They did as they were told. Choose dark clothes, he told them, but he himself wore an old coat: red and pink horizontal stripes on the lower part, and a silver crescent and golden eagle on the upper part - a coat of arms of a nobleman. "Why are you wearing other people's clothes? Are you so conspicuous?" Rosie sneered.
"I want to be a noble, just this once." The killer joked with a chuckle. "In fact, I am already this guy. Please call me Ser Dontos. The guards know their leader: an arrogant, bad-tempered leader who cannot be questioned. What a perfect character. Follow me, don't Speak and don¡¯t ask any more questions.¡±
They walked out of the woods and saw a dilapidated tower in front of them. "Come this way," he said softly.
After walking up a winding staircase, you pass through a small sunken courtyard. The killer pushed open a thick door and led them into a deserted corridor. A pair of hollow armors stood beside the wall, the tan metal pieces covered with dust. They passed quickly. No one said a word. Leo's breathing was rapid and he coughed repeatedly. But the pain was dissipating and he was already feeling better.
Walking down the stairs, you came to a heavy door made of oak and iron bars. "There's still a short way to go before we leave here." The killer raised the iron bolt and pushed open the door. A cold sea breeze came over them. They passed through the fifteen-foot-thick wall and found themselves outside the castle. There is a cliff right in front of you. The ocean lay far below me, and the sky stretched endlessly above me, both of which were dark.
"Climb down," the killer said. "When we get to the bottom, someone will punt us to the big ship."
"We will fall." Nalia screamed.
"No. There is a ladder here, a secret ladder, carved into the rock wall. Here, you touch it, miss." The killer asked her to kneel on the edge of the cliff and led her fingers to reach the concave holes dug in the rock wall. Hole. "As reliable as an iron ring." Nalia trembled in fear, and she almost collapsed on the ground.
"I can't get down!" Princess Nymeria trembled next to Ahan.
"Miss, or princess? They are all women anyway. Don't count on it, there is only one way." The killer said, "Stay up there and become a puppet, or go up and be free? It's your choice."
The girls hesitated on the sidelines, and even a few soldiers were frightened by the height on the cliff. Rosie stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, curling her lips. "How did you find this road?" She turned to ask the killer. "I don't trust you very much."
"Hey, I'm a killer. Killers naturally have their own methods." The killer spread his hands, "drugs, seduction, any means. Of course, I don't need it. Just magic can make them reveal the truth." He The look in her eyes always made Rosie feel that the former had discovered something.
"You are just a mouse." She said, "No matter where there is a hole, you can't escape your eyes."
"That's natural. Thieves follow the path of rats." The killer said.
The celebratory fireworks in the city have been extinguished, and only the bells are ringing louder. Through the thick city wall, Leo could hear soldiers running and people's noises and shouts. There's not much time left for them. "Let's go down. If we don't go, we will all die." He took a deep breath of sea breeze, and the cold air in the darkness made his mind clear. "You go ahead, killer."
The killer shrugged. He stepped over the cliff and tested it until he reached the first hollow. "You'd better hurry, the boat waits for no one," he said, and the killer disappeared.
¡°I¡¯ll go first,¡± the crow-man Feifeiduo stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go down to explore the path first and keep an eye on him. See if he¡¯s playing any tricks.¡±
Soon, Feifeiduo also disappeared, and the darkness blocked their sight. "Hurry up." Leo urged.Come.
"Be strong, ladies, this is a very easy thing. As long as you don't look down, you will reach your goal soon." Miss Bachelor's face was pale, but she tried to comfort the girls around her. "I'll go down first and you can follow me, okay? Nalia, Asha?"
"Princess¡¡"
"I don't want to go down from here." Princess Nymeria begged, "Ahan, please, I'm afraid of heights and I can't go down."
"I'll carry you." The captain of the guard said, "You just have to hold my neck tightly."
"You squeamish woman." Rosie sneered, "What are you still doing standing there? Come over here"
Rosie?
"She drank the potion." Ewela said softly, "Leo, I didn't know she still had"
Is she crazy? Does she want her life? "I don't want to become a waste in your eyes." Rosie seemed to know what he was going to say and blocked his mouth before he opened his mouth. "The matter has come to this, and it's useless to say anything." She said with a smile, "So the women who are holding you back, come here, I will open a portal to send you down. As for the menyou can wish for your own happiness."
