The footsteps outside the door were getting closer, and Louis had to close the door again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Rhodes opened his mouth to speak, but did not make a sound, Louis could guess from his mouth shape that he was about to say "Xuanyu?"

Louis shook his head and motioned for Rhodes to listen again. At this time, the footsteps had come to the door of the princess's room but did not stop, and walked straight over.

"Who?" Rod lipped.

Louis did not speak, she knew that under normal circumstances, it was forbidden for people to move around like this at night in the Murosuan Palace. Here, whether it is a nobleman, a prince's family or an ordinary attendant, the rules will be strictly followed. Everyone knows that the night of the palace is as dangerous as hell, and if you don't follow the rules, you are likely to be devoured by monsters, and there is not even a single bone residue left. Moreover, every door to the nobles was sealed by magic when it was closed before the master fell asleep, and no matter what happened outside, no one inside would know, which also explained the reason why the four of them ran so wildly in the corridor before, and the double-headed eagle attacked so unscrupulously.

But tonight, in addition to the four people of Xuanyu, there is indeed another person who is not at ease. This aroused Louie's curiosity, and when she was far away, she quietly opened the door and peeked out. In the dark corridor, there was no human figure. So, she followed in the direction she had left.

Rhodes knew Louie's thoughts, and he did not stop or choose to part ways with Louie, but silently followed behind her. The "Hidden Egg" was still working, and Louis and Rhodes were very fast, and when they turned a corner, they saw a man walking quickly, and the little candlelight in his hand was like a red cinnabar mole, lit in the night of the palace.

Take a few more hurried steps and keep up. The man's back was clearly visible, but his true face was still missing. He wears a black cloak and hides himself well in the dark. At this time, Louis, who was following him, was obviously a little hesitant, because he had entered the "deep spring" area of Prince Skill any further.

After much hesitation, Louis decided to follow. It's just that the mysterious man in the cloak walks around the palace in a circle, and if it weren't for Louis, who is the captain of the Praetorian Guard, is very familiar with this place, he would easily be thrown off by him. At this moment, the man suddenly turned into a side of the corridor, which Louis remembered as a dead end. After a moment's thought, she followed.

It was a narrow side road, and at most two people could walk side by side, so Louie and Rhodes walked one after the other, and as soon as they turned into the side road, they saw that the other party had reached a distance of twenty or thirty meters from the corner, as Louis expected, it was a dead end, and there was only a wall in front of it. The mysterious man in the cloak was standing in front of that wall, holding a candle, not knowing what he was doing. Suddenly, he blew out the candle, and it was pitch black for a while.

"Don't let him run!" Realizing the urgency of the matter, Louis softly ordered his only "soldier" Rod, who also understood and turned his body sideways to block the exit of the branch road with Louis.

He quickly took out a candle from his pocket and lit it, and looked ahead, except for a wall, there was no more mysterious person in a cloak. Believing Louie ran over to inspect all the darkness, his expression of surprise. She shook her head and muttered, "Impossible, why did you just disappear out of thin air?"

"Did you take the opportunity to enter the room?" said Luther.

Louis raised his head helplessly and looked at Rhodes: "Look here, apart from the wall, where did the room come from?"

Hearing Louis say this, Rhodes raised the candle and shone it in all directions, only to realize that this strange side road was not only a dead end, but also had hard walls on the left and right, and no door.

"That's weird. Rod touched his chin and pondered, "The two of us are blocking the exit, and if he runs away from here, we won't be able to notice it." ”

"Unless he's a magician, like Xuanyu. Louis said frustratedly.

Rhodes shook his head: "The magic guards of Reino Palace are very powerful, and they cannot be cracked by ordinary magicians. Xuanyu is the most powerful magician I've ever seen, and I don't think that person just now has the same abilities as him. ”

But he did disappear into thin air. "Louis Road.

"Strange. Rod continued to touch his chin, exclaiming as he thought.

"Of course it's strange, that person behaves ......"

"No," Rod interrupted Louis, "I mean, this branch is strange. ”

"What?" Louis raised an eyebrow, then turned to look around, "What's strange?"

"Everywhere is weird reads;. Rhodes held out a finger and walked towards the wall, "A dead end, no rooms and no windows, what was the purpose of building this place in the first place?"

"You should know that the Murosuan Palace is also known as the Labyrinth, and that's how it curves inside. In the event of an invasion, it would take a lot of effort to capture the king's family, and at the same time buy time for the knights and soldiers to come to the rescue. Louis earnestly spoke of the meaning of the dormitory, but Rod kept shaking his head.

"If I were an enemy, and I saw this branch road, and when I walked to the entrance, I knew that there was nothing here, how could I still go inside? No matter how powerful the trap was buried here, it would be useless for the enemy not to come. ”

Hearing Rod say this, Louis reacted: "It's really strange. ”

"Not surprising!" said Luther suddenly.

Louis, who didn't know why, looked at Rod with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.

"I said weird because it's built in such a way that you can see at a glance that it's nothing. But if you think about it the other way around, because of such an illusion, then ......," Rodt paused, "there should be something right here." ”

"So there's a room without a door?" Louis was clever enough to immediately grasp what Rod meant, "and that explains the secret of that man's disappearance out of thin air!" she said, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

On the other side, in the "Empty Realm", under Xuanyu's feet, the outline of the double-headed eagle that fell to the ground gradually blurred, and then disappeared into the light mist, and the light mist became longer and longer, and it actually formed a human figure, standing in front of Xuanyu.

Xuanyu was not the slightest surprised, this was expected by him. When the human form gradually became clear, the corners of his mouth rose, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I know that it is very difficult to capture the double-headed eagle, but humans can do it because they use bait. Xuanyu especially said the word "bait" very seriously, and then glanced at the human figure out of the corner of his eye, and continued, "The double-headed eagle's favorite food is human eyes, and they need to be fresh. It's not a pity to sacrifice a human life if you succeed in trapping, I'm right. ”

Xuanyu said this, and then stopped and glanced at the humanoid. At this time, the outline of the human form was completely clear, it was a man of the right age, if it weren't for his body fluttering and no foundation, no one would believe that this was just a ghost, unless they saw his face. Although it is an extremely ordinary face in Egrem, there are no eyes above the bridge of the nose, only two black holes to accommodate endless grievances.
