Chapter 12: The Prelude to the Collapse (Part I)

Because of being a diner, Caiyue's treatment in the mansion has changed dramatically from before, not only enjoying the treatment of a guest again, but even the task of asking Ram to teach him to read and write has also been satisfied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Standing by the window, Arashi could see Natsuki Pleiades pestering the maid in the courtyard to chat and fart. The red lotus, who was sitting on the windowsill, wagged her tail and smiled slyly, "The guinea pig seems to be very happy." ”

"Why didn't you go to Emilia this time? It didn't seem that he wanted to dwell on the question of Caiyue Pleiades, and Lan asked Xiang Honglian.

"I'm used to eating big fish and meat, and occasionally I miss the white porridge and pickles at home, hahaha. ”

Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly, picked up her belongings and turned around to go out.

"Are you going to the forest again?"

"It's boring to stay. ”

In response to Red Lotus's question, Arashi gave this answer.

"Okay, okay, except for sleeping, it's a cultivator, I wish you to touch the end of kendo soon. ”

Lan repaid Honglian's complaint with a smile and closed the door behind him casually.

When he reached the staircase, he ran into Caiyue Pleiades who was going upstairs alone. The latter didn't seem to expect to meet the Great Demon King here, and his face turned pale subconsciously, and then he didn't know where to get the courage to look at Lan.

"I'm getting bolder. ”

"Also...... Yes...... One Chance ......"

Caiyue looked at the long knife clinging to her neck in fear, afraid that Lan's hand would click on her as soon as she slipped her hand.

Fortunately, Lan didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to intimidate, and under the frightened eyes of Caiyue Pleiades, she neatly put the knife into the sheath,

"Remember, the last time. ”

Lan, who passed by Caiyue Pleiades, said this sentence lightly.

Because the guest rooms are all set up on the second floor, the rooms of Caiyue and Arashi are actually very close to each other to a certain extent.

This caused great inconvenience to Caiyue's actions in the next two days, and he always opened the door first to see if he would bump into Arashi before choosing to go out.

If he happens to hear the door opening from next door at this time, he will immediately retract into the house and make sure that the other party is far away before going out. Fortunately, such a miserable experience is finally coming to an end after two days of suffering.

"It's been a short time, but thank you for your care. ”

Dressed in strange sportswear and full of bags, Nagetsu carried the plastic bag in her hand and bowed to Emilia, Rozval, and Ramrem who came to see them off.

In order not to be discovered by the imaginary enemy hiding in the shadows, Natsuki specially asked to stay in the mansion for only three days, and now that the agreed deadline has arrived, it is time to embark on a journey to capture today's intruder.

"It really doesn't matter, I can help you call a dragon car and let you sit in the royal capital......" The worry on Emilia's face was very strong, no matter what, Caiyue Pleiades was her savior.

Cai Yue patted her chest vigorously and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I just want to walk slowly and leisurely." One day, when I become a strong, smart, and rich man worthy of Emilia, I will ride a white horse and take you captive. ”

"Don't talk about this kind of joke at this time, do you have everything with you? and that and that ......."

"Are you an old mother?" Caiyue showed an exaggerated expression, and finally waved to the crowd standing in the hallway.

"Thanks to a few people who took care of me, especially Rem, thank you for always making delicious meals. Ram's words...... Well, what's the matter...... Are you very good at cleaning the toilets?"

"Sister, sister, the guest's compliments are so bad that they make people desperate. ”

"Remrem, the guest's compliments are out of style. ”

"I can't think of anything better, but thank you two for taking care of me. Farewell, everyone. ”

Even if she was reluctant, Caiyue still closed the door, and the neat path leading to the main road in the center of the courtyard was wide. According to his designated plan, he would walk on this road all the way through the village of Alam, and perhaps take a dragon chariot to the royal capital on the way.

In fact, when everyone in the mansion who had been seeing off behind him had disappeared from view, Caiyue Pleiades left the road directly into the forest after repeatedly confirming that there was no one around.

Although they had told them that there were many wild animals in the forest, Caiyue was still unmoved. After fifteen minutes of staggering through the forest, Natsuki arrived at a small hill with a high ground in the mountains, and could overlook the mansion in the distance from the cliff in front of him.

Even Emilia's room could be seen clearly, only to the extent of the window, of course, and he couldn't see the situation in the room. But if something happens, he's sure to see some signs.

"There are still more than ten hours before the evening comes, so I have to keep my spirits up. ”

"As long as the intruder is caught, the owner of the stupid dog in Alam Village will definitely be able to find it. ”

"The point is to recognize the appearance of the attacker and the basic information, and to understand it thoroughly. ”

Lacking strong means and low attack power, Natsuki Pleiades can only rely on this plan to get some information, only in this way can he protect everyone in the mansion and stay by Emilia's side openly.

Yes, I'm the man who was destined to stand by Emilia's side. Natsuki couldn't help but cheer herself up, so as to dispel the uneasiness in her heart.

It seems that in order to strengthen his courage, Caiyue took out the kitchen knife he brought out of the mansion from his bag, although he still doesn't know how useful this knife is, but with a weapon in hand, he can always be more courageous.

At the same time, he tied a long rope to the trunk of the tree next to him, which looked very strong, and made Natsuki feel that luckily it looked about the same length as the cliff in front of her.

If the attacker discovers his presence, then jumping off a cliff is undoubtedly not a more suitable option from the perspective of quick escape.

Everything is ready, all that remains is to wait, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In the expectant gaze of Natsuki Pleiades, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly appeared in the sky, and the dazzling orange light shone on the hill where he was. Eight hours had passed since he began to monitor the mansion. The current situation is peaceful, and there are no unexpected surprises.

As soon as such an idea appeared, the eardrums keenly caught the subtle and strange sound, and Caiyue unceremoniously threw herself forward, and her body rolled on the ground.

This sound, you can't be wrong, the attacker really found himself. Natsuki got up and rushed towards the cliff unceremoniously, behind him was the sound of severed branches falling.

The emergency rappelling is thrilling and exciting, and the viscera tastes the floating sensation of churning when falling. Wait until the rope is pulled to the end, and your toes are just touching the ground below.

Quickly cut the rope with a kitchen knife and left his bags to ensure that he had the easiest posture to escape, but at that moment just now, he did see it.

The attack on himself is a weapon called the Meteor Hammer in the game, and what is even more exaggerated is that the iron ball is also densely covered with sharp spikes, which means that he was killed by such a weapon last time?

Just recalling, Natsuki Pleiades, who already felt pain all over her body, could only run forward as hard as she could, either to survive or to grasp more information.

After all, the meaningless escape was blocked by the towering stone wall in front of him, and Caiyue, who had already fallen into the realm of trapped beasts, turned to the sound source of the chain and said, "If you want to come, come here......"
