Chapter 147: Sleeping Flower
Vanessa patted the dust in front of her, unable to see Carter walking in front of her. Not only was the air damp and moldy in the old underground passageway, but Brant, who was overweight, shook off a large chunk of reddish-brown dust with every step. The princess watched the endless passages stretch forward, almost convinced that she would never be able to get out of this dark underworld for the rest of her life.
"How far is it?" Brandt, who had to bow his head, complained, "Do they have to go for a year every time they have a secret tryst?" ”
"It's coming, it's almost there." Carter, who was at the forefront, comforted them.
Walking further, there are signs of being able to get out, the soil here is no longer reddish-brown, the surrounding rock walls have become compact and abrupt, and an unknown ore grows in the gray stone crevices, which are clustered into clusters, slightly glowing with a soft light, making people look at an inexplicable sense of peace. Vanessa stared curiously at one of the small clusters of stone flowers for a while, and felt sleepiness hit her, and her eyelids were fighting, if it wasn't for Brant supporting her from behind, she would have already sat on the ground and dozed off.
"Wake up," Brant patted Vanessa's face lightly, shaking her shoulder, "Go back to the tavern and sleep again, I can stay with you." ”
"Oh, you shameless scoundrel." Vanessa rubbed her eyes in confusion, "I was looking at this stone flower just now, and somehow fell asleep. She reached out to pluck the stone flower.
"Don't touch it!" Carter exclaimed, "That's the sleeping flower!" He folded back from the front, torch in hand, and looked at the princess with concern, "Whoever touches it will not wake up." It's everywhere in the Barblanc mines, but only the wealthy use it to guard their homes and tombs. ”
"Then why didn't you just remind us!" The prince glared at Carter viciously.
Carter looked innocent: "I was in a hurry to save Morty, and I forgot about it." ”
"Brandt, I'm fine." Vanessa stopped the two of them arguing, "Carter, hurry up and take us out." ”
As Carter stumbled back and walked on, Brant unfastened the soft armor pad from his shoulder and broke off a sleeping flower from the stone wall.
****************
At nightfall, the city began to come alive, and the sun finally ended the day's proud scorching, and reluctantly returned the coolness to the earth. From afar, Prince Terrence's mansion stood majestically, with the guardhouse, the clock tower, and the tall Fort beyond, the round Fort was very eye-catching, and the black figure of the gargoyles lined the purple sky in the distance. The Prince's Fort is the center of the entire Luoyan City, but no one dares to wander around here, let alone the back alley of his butler's mansion, every corner, to be precise, every brick and stone is guarded by a special person.
This is especially true at this moment.
Colin looked at his former daughter, now son, and didn't know what to think. Admittedly, I've always wanted to have a son, but it shouldn't be in this situation! He tried his best to match his daughter's lifelong event step by step, but it turned out to go wrong in the most unexpected place! If this son has extraordinary skills, can help him to seek room for advancement and title, he can admit him, but the fault is that this son turned from a daughter is useless, and he doesn't even know which end of the spear should be used!
"Are you sure he'll come up from here?" Colin asked his daughter viciously. "If you dare to lie to me, I promise you'll regret turning into a man!"
"I said he would come!" Morty exclaimed in a high-pitched male voice he had just acquired, "We really love each other!" ”
"Hmph, don't talk to me about bullshit true love." Colin slapped his daughter, "If I had chosen true love, I would have starved to death a long time ago, and it is impossible for you to make trouble for me all day long in this world!" ”
"Master Colin!" A guard ran in from outside the courtyard with a roll of sheepskin in his hand, "Prince! Hurry to the first fort! ”
"What?!" Colin, on the other hand, watched the distant commotion behind the guards, and knew that something was really wrong, so he turned around and shouted angrily at his men: "Watch this well, and let me shoot arrows as soon as anyone shows up!" ”
"No!" Morty protested loudly.
"And you!" Colin ordered Morty to be silenced, "If you still want your poor inheritance, don't say anything to me!" With that, the chief butler hurried away with the guards.
At this time, the rescuer team had already listened to the conversation between the father and daughter at the bottom of the well
