885 880 [Return Chapter IV] 302
Liu Quan had to look left and right for a while, only to realize that the position where Da Prajna Changguang had left her was really excellent.
Behind her was a low wall, and not far away there was a moon cave door. And not far in front of her, at the bend of the low wall, there is a pile of strange rocks more than one person high, which looks like a rockery. She can now hide in the shadows next to the moon cave door, monitoring the situation outside the door while keeping an eye on the night infiltration of the great long light.
Fortunately, the ground in the garden is not covered with fine sand but gravel, and there is no need to worry about the large light that crosses the garden and leaves footprints on the ground that can trace the direction of travel. And, in order not to make a sound by walking on the wooden floor for too long, Da Prajna Nagako deliberately walked a little more on the gravel floor of the courtyard, and now looking at the direction he was heading, it seemed as if he was about to step up the corridor.
Liu Quan watched his nimble back with trepidation, and suddenly heard a faint rustling sound outside the low wall, like the sound of footsteps!
Liu Quan almost didn't blurt out the name of Da Prajna Changguang, and held back in time.
But the rustle didn't go away, it got closer—it sounded clearer and clearer.
Liu Quan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back.
She peeked quietly through the shadows beside the door of the moon cave, and saw that sure enough, two men dressed as guards were approaching from a distance along the low wall.
She only had a few seconds to decide—should she rush over to warn her, or should she call the Great Prajna Changguang back?
She swept the courtyard in the faint moonlight and made a quick decision.
There was no place to hide in the current position of the Great Prajna Changguang, since it took about the same amount of time for her to rush over and him to run back, and there were piles of strange rocks to hide in the middle, so of course it was-
She resolutely crouched down and scooped up a few pieces of gravel from the ground, aimed at the back of the big long light and threw it over.
When the matter is approaching, I hate myself for why I didn't exchange for a secret weapon skill in the first place! Is it too late to learn to be a slinger now!
Luckily, her arm strength and accuracy were good, and she had just dropped two small pieces of gravel, one of which happened to be not far from the side of the big Prajna Nagashi, and a small click caught his attention.
He looked back. Liu Quan beckoned to him desperately, and then pointed in the direction outside the low wall behind him, and then pointed to the pile of strange rocks.
Da Prajna Changguang's form froze for a moment, but he seemed to have made up his mind quickly - listen to her.
He lowered his upper body and turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the pile of strange rocks she had indicated. Liu Quan also put his ear to the door of the Moon Cave Gate, and finally listened to the movement outside, estimating that he had enough time to run to the pile of strange stones, and then suddenly pulled out his legs and ran towards the pile of strange stones.
She was relatively close to the pile of strange rocks and was the first to get there. Then she realized that the pile of stones looked strange from a distance, but when she got closer, she realized that although they were pitted up in a strange shape, there were not many parts that could actually hide the human figure—about the width of a human body, to be exact.
However, there was no time to find a new hiding place - not to mention that although the courtyard was staggered, the scenery was also clear, and there was no better place to hide than this pile of strange rocks.
As a sword, Da Prajna Changguang is not slow to move at night, completely subverting the setting in the original game - when there was a sound of clattering footsteps from the side of the moon cave door, he had just run to the pile of strange stones.
Without thinking much about it, Liu Quan reached out and grabbed his arm, forcibly dragging him behind the pile of strange rocks.
Da Prajna Changguang seemed to be stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and even turned sideways, quickly flashing into the shadows behind the strange stones.
He wasted no time, almost immediately after flashing into the shadows, he took two seconds to observe the situation, and then took a quick step forward—
Put the willow spring firmly in the wall—no, the stone—there.
In fact, his choice is understandable - because the shadow area behind the strange rock is limited, and if he keeps a polite distance, his back will be beyond the shadow.
But they are not familiar with each other at all, and when I think about it, it has only been about ten days since Liu Quan summoned him to the present world, and now the distance between the two is suddenly outrageously close, and Da Fan Ruo Changguang tried to hide his tall figure in the narrow shadow range as much as possible, and now his upper body leaned forward slightly, his left hand against the strange stone behind Liu Quan's back, and his right hand was on Liu Quan's waist, which made Liu Quan feel so embarrassed that his hair was about to stand on end.
But of course she knew that now was not the time to be embarrassed.
The footsteps of the guards appeared from the moon cave gate, and faithfully followed the patrol route, following the base of the wall into the courtyard, apparently patrolling for a week before leaving.
Liu Quan also felt a little suspicious now.
The design of this route ...... It's too detailed, isn't it?!
This is the depths of Nijo Castle, how many daring silverfish thieves will break through the defenses all the way and come here?! Not to mention that the Shogun doesn't live here, what's the point of stealing the Shogun's collection of famous swords?
Moreover, since Da Praruo Nagamitsu just said that he was optimistic about the gap in the inspection, then he would not be reckless enough to attack when the inspection was about to arrive - does this mean that the density of inspections will increase tonight?!
But now is not the time to wonder. The two guards were getting closer and closer. The shadow range of the strange rocks can only barely cover them, and if there is a disturbance, they may be exposed.
...... If she had known that this kind of exploration mission, which is called to give away experience points for nothing, was still so dangerous, she should have asked Shoji Fujisawa to change a wand and bring it with her before she went out!
Now I'm left to rely on my own little wandless magic, which is not very reliable!
Liu Quan gritted his teeth, put the two fingers of his right hand together, raised his hand slightly, and quickly waved it down!
Of course, Da Prajna Changguang also saw her movements, although he couldn't speak in order not to alarm the guards who came over, he instantly raised his eyebrows at her, and the corners of his lips curled slightly—that kind of chic and casual aura was about to overflow this small shadow in an instant, sweeping the entire courtyard out of place!
Liu Quan was a little angry and amused, lowered his eyebrows and glared at him as if warning, wordlessly motioning to him, "I'll explain to you later", and focused on observing the movements of the two guards who had come to inspect the courtyard.
Luckily, although her wandless magic was not as powerful as a normal spell, it was not a problem to cover such a small area with a temporary and temporary spell of the Transfiguration Charm. The two guards didn't notice anything, and although they deliberately walked to the pile of strange rocks to take a look, they didn't see through her tricks, and left the place according to the established route, and walked away slowly.
However, instead of moving immediately, the Great Prajna Light lowered his gaze with a thoughtful expression, and then, without warning, he grabbed her right hand and raised it in front of him, staring at the two fingers she had just cast a wandless magic.
His hand was suddenly caught by him, and Liu Quan almost blurted out in a moment!
Thankfully, her strong sanity allowed her to bite her tongue a moment before the voice came out of her throat, and forcibly swallowed the "Ah!" sound.
Her eyes widened in exasperation, glaring fiercely at the great long light.
“...... What are you doing?!"
Her right hand was caught, and she could not use either the Illusion Charm or the Silence Charm now, and her head was buzzing with anxiety for a moment, but she did not dare to shout out loud to attract attention, so she had to reluctantly suppress her anger and squeeze the words out of her throat in a deep voice.
Da Prajna Changguang stared thoughtfully at her fingers.
"I say......" he slowed out.
"Do you have any other powerful spells that I don't know about?"
Liu Quan: "...... Huh?"
Da Panruo Changguang suddenly smiled.
"This shadow, even if I get closer to you, will not be enough to completely cover both of us. The two of them didn't notice us just now because - you used some kind of spell that I don't know about? Is it stealth?" he said slowly, pondering as he clarified the clues and reasoning in his mind.
"It's really not interesting to have such a good skill, not to say it. There was a hint of a smile in his voice.
"Can this spell last a little longer?How far will it work?Can it cover me for sneaking into the room where the sword is kept?" he asked several questions in one breath.
Liu Quan: "......"
She was silent for a moment, then looked away and replied in a low voice:
"It should last a little longer, but I can't put this on you alone...... Uh, 'Spell', I'll have to follow you. ”
When Da Panruo Changguang heard this, his eyebrows bent, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Oh~ I see. ”
He uttered a simple sentence with a sigh and an endless aftertaste, and then before Liu Quan could react to what he wanted to do, he took her hand, which he had already held, and turned around and ran towards the other side of the courtyard!
Willow Springs: !!
She was forced to stumble after him, stumbling on her feet, and on two occasions she almost lost her center of gravity and fell on top of him. However, although Da Prajna Changguang ran in front of her and pulled her, it was as if she had eyes in the back of her head, and she turned around in time both times, and used her other hand to support her waist in time to stop her fall.
Liu Quan didn't care about the embarrassment, and immediately continued to cast a phantom spell on the two of them, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't run to a place where you can leave footprints!"
He changed course and walked along the winding stone path of the courtyard, carefully avoiding the sand and gravel piles.
Liu Quan passively ran after him, and his head was dizzy. She was just about to lower her voice and shout, "If you can let me go, I think I can try to throw a silent spell around us," when she felt a flash in front of her eyes—the great long light jumped directly into the corridor outside the house.
Caught off guard, Liu Quan hurriedly raised his right foot and stepped forward, almost knocking the instep of his left foot against the edge of the corridor.
Now they were finally standing outside that room. Liu Quan glared at Da Panruo Changguang angrily, and without saying a word, he forcefully withdrew his right hand from his palm, raised his middle finger, and waved it suddenly.
Da Panruo paused for a moment before he said with a smile: "...... What are you going to do here, Yukiba-kun?"
Liu Quan couldn't bear it.
"I don't need any invisibility now......, do I? No, the art of mute, so that you can burst into that room!" she said angrily, not trying to keep her voice down.
Da Praruo Changguang seemed to understand her intentions in an instant. The corners of his Tu Zhu's eyes turned slightly, revealing a smile of surprise and playfulness.
"Oh, that's so sweet~" he commented leisurely.
Liu Quan: "......"
