Chapter 526: House Arrest
Prince Carlin's request, in the end, there was no possibility, the stairs up and down were disconnected in the middle of the center, naturally there was no way to continue to go deeper, on the other hand, the wall that seemed to Lu Tao to be a little magical now, and finally found that it was not real, and there was no way to even touch it with your hands, it was just a wall of air that could be seen but could not be touched, and naturally you had no way to climb up and down through the surrounding walls.
In the end, Prince Carlin had to find a guard, hang him with a rope, and probe down, but because the length of the rope was really not enough, he had to give up this idea, and the guards who were probing the situation below for Prince Carlin were scared half to death.
Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be hung by a rope, swaying in the wind like a roasted chicken hanging on the beams of the house, fortunately, Prince Karin didn't know for what reason, and didn't continue to let Lu Tao as the vanguard to explore the situation below.
Then everyone withdrew to the palace, and when they went out from the exit above, Lu Tao found that the narrow opening had been expanded, enough for larger objects to pass through, which was equivalent to opening a hole in a building, and lifting the Tianling cover of the entire unit, which looked a little strange. Of course, Lu Tao is the only one who feels strange, after all, for other people, I think this is an ordinary relic, but it is a little narrow, and it goes straight up and down.
Those security doors can't stop Prince Carlin's men from opening them with brute force, but these things are no longer Lu Tao's business, after the answer is completed, Lu Tao, Princess Sophie and Mickey are all locked in a room, which is equivalent to being placed under house arrest, the good news is that this house does not have only one bedroom, Lu Tao does not have to sleep on the sofa.
"Hmph, is it okay now? I didn't take the opportunity to leave Prar before, and now I can't leave if I want to, in case Proas and they sell us directly, it's all your fault if they ask for something as a hostage like my father!"
After there were no outsiders in the room, Princess Sophie sat on the sofa angrily and vented her dissatisfaction, of course, the main target was Mickey, although at first it was Lu Tao who proposed to go directly to Harias to avoid being pursued.
Mickey could only shake his head helplessly: "Sophie, haven't we already investigated in the past few days? Proyas didn't lie to us before, most of the surrounding roads were blocked, and you also saw those corpses that were dead next to the road, so it was impossible for us to escape through them on such dangerous roads, so in the end, there was really no way, if we could escape, we would have fled a long time ago." β
"In other words, you shouldn't have come to Harias in the first place, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the result is still a bargaining chip in the hands of others!" Princess Sophie finally pointed the finger at Lu Tao, but she didn't say much, but just glanced at Lu Tao, and then continued: "So what should we do now? Are we locked up here, can't we do anything? You guys quickly think of a way, anyway, I don't want to be locked up here!"
This house as a house arrest Lu Tao, Princess Sophie and Mickey is in a castle in the royal palace, and in order to prevent anyone from entering the castle through the outside, this house under house arrest for them, the windows are very open, even in the daytime, they need overhead lights as lighting, and they want to get out of the window
Probably, unless it is a child in his teens, it is possible to pass through this window, and it is not okay to be a little fat, in addition, the room is magnificent, inside and out, exuding the dignity and wealth of being a royal family, it is good to use something as a weapon, but unfortunately Prince Carlin does not seem to care about Lu Tao's force at all, the evidence is that the dagger on Mickey's body as a self-defense has not been taken away, except for the guards to watch the outside of this room, there are no extra defensive measures.
It's a pity that you want to go out through the gate of the castle, it's really a fantasy, the castle here is almost in the center of the Harias Palace, not to mention how to pass through the guards outside the castle, and then how to escape from the palace is also a very difficult thing, Princess Sophie probably also knows this situation, after all, this is not the palace of Issos, they can know where the secret passage to the inside and outside is, and the degree of defense is not very high, so that Princess Sophie and Mickey can enter and exit the palace at will, and Harias is equivalent to the enemy country of the Republic of Carr, it is naturally impossible to let Princess Sophie and Mickey know the layout of the palace, it is better to say that the situation of the royal palace is something that Haryas resolutely avoids letting anyone in the Karl Republic know, unless he can find the spies of the Karl Republic lurking in Haryas, there is the slightest possibility to obtain more secrets in this palace.
It's a pity that neither Princess Sophie nor Mickey can know the spies from the Republic of Qatar, where they are, and even the two of them don't even know who the street people here are, let alone explore the palace of Haryas.
Oh, by the way, Lu Tao also knew one thing, it turned out that Princess Sophie and Mickey went out early and returned late, not on a date, they actually went to test the road to the surroundings, whether they could pass it, Lu Tao didn't know why they excluded themselves, and then took care of themselves to do such a dangerous thing, at least Mickey should know his degree of force, if he encountered danger, he could still play a certain role, shook his head, Lu Tao threw these thoughts out of his mind, no matter what he did, it was because Princess Sophie and Mickey no longer trusted him, or because the two of them really regarded this kind of activity as a date, Now is not the time to think about these things, well, now almost nothing can be considered, think about it, in the end it is more normal to lie in bed and sleep, and it is more economical to save physical strength, anyway, Lu Tao doesn't know how to escape from here without using spells, even if his agility and strength are so many five, six, seven or eight times higher than ordinary people, he can't deal with the most elite soldiers in the whole country.
Princess Sophie naturally knew that there was no way to escape from here, and after asking, she sat on the sofa in a dejected manner, looking quite depressed, and Mickey could only comfort her: "Sophie, since they won't hurt us, let's stay here for the time being and wait and see what happens, it's useless to think so much, we can only wait for the follow-up changes, looking at their appearance, they should be able to let us go when they have achieved their goal, let's wait a little longer." β
Princess Sophie looked at Mickey angrily: "I don't think they will let us leave freely in the end, since we have all been caught, wouldn't it be better to use us as bargaining chips to put pressure on the Republic of Karl? By the way, Lu Tao, do you know what they're doing?
To be honest, after listening to their conversations, I couldn't figure out what was going on, but if I could know what they were going to do, it would be easier to judge what was going on, right?"
Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "I've checked a lot of books in the library of the Alchemy Association these days, and in general, according to my guess, it shouldn't be wrong." In fact, Princess Sophie, the crystal crown in your hand before probably has some connection with the demon channel opened by the Empire of Light at the beginning, or more accurately, it was with the use of the crystal crown in your hand that the alchemists of the Empire of Light opened the passage to the demon world, and then plunged this continent into endless disasters. On the other hand, the Alchemy Association in Praar now is basically built by those alchemists who escaped from the Bright Empire before, although I don't know if they brought something important, the purpose of Prince Gankarin should be very clear, that is, to reuse the power of the crystal crown and open a passage to another world, but what they are going to do, I don't know very well, and how they want to avoid and open a passage to the demon world, is something I don't know. β
Lu Tao roughly explained the situation of the cash, and after Princess Sophie and Mickey listened, they looked at each other with a look at each other, and then Princess Sophie asked: "Are they really not afraid of luring demons over again?" This should be regarded as the most central location of all human activity areas, if there is another passage to the demon world, then human beings will probably not be able to stop the erosion of demons." β
"So, I don't know what they're going to do. Lu Tao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Mitch thought for a moment and interjected: " If the situation is according to Lu Tao, what you say, then we should do nothing for the time being, wait for the situation after that, if we successfully open a passage, there will definitely be chaos, and then we will find a chance to talk about it, but if there is a chance to leave here forever, we must seize the opportunity, they want to do this kind of thing, it is too dangerous, it was clear that even such a big force as the Empire of Light disappeared after opening the passage, I really don't understand, what is the royal family of Harias thinkingγ β
Princess Sophie was about to say something, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room, and then walked in, it was Proyas who was alone, Lu Tao still didn't see Charlotte's figure, there is a high probability that Charlotte should have a problem, but what went wrong, Lu Tao can only think about the last time Charlotte and Proyas's brother Prince Carlin met.
"What are you talking about? β
After Proas entered the door, he took the lead in saying hello to the three people in the room, but Mickey didn't have any expression, Princess Sophie turned her head away from Proyas, making him look a little embarrassed, this was the first time Lu Tao saw an embarrassed expression on Proas's face, and after thinking about it, Du Tao didn't say anything superfluous, but stared at Proas to see what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, Proas saw that no one paid attention to him, and said to himself: "It's going well, it probably won't take long for me to let you go, so you don't have to think so much, just stay here quietly for a few days, you don't need to participate in such a thing, just be a guest in our Harias palace." β
