Chapter 6: To the Palace
Before dawn, Tom set out on his journey. After the sun had risen, Tom left the village and found that the village was not the only one in danger, for he had passed through many fields that had been charred and blackened, and that the fields and ditches had been drained by abundant water.www.biquge.info
Tom walked all morning, then all afternoon. His back hurt and his feet started to hurt, but he kept walking. The capital was almost there, and suddenly there were more pedestrians on the road. The rider slowly passed by him, and the donkey, which was dragging the heavy load, also moved forward step by step under the urging of his master. Tom heard people whispering that everyone seemed to have come to escape famine and disaster, that is, Tom was not the only one who wanted to ask the king for help. Tom couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Finally, the towering gates of the capital finally appeared in front of Tom's eyes. The door was open, Tom walked through quickly, feeling his whole body full of strength again, and he had finally arrived! Tom crawled through the narrow, crowded streets, with only one goal in mind: to get to the palace as quickly as possible. The palace was not far away, with its purple spire and turquoise glass dome, and the towering buildings of the palace overshadowed the surrounding houses, which Tom had never seen before!
However, as Tom crossed the gates of the palace courtyard, he could not help but wail because there was a very long queue ahead, and the line was almost motionless.
"Are you the king's secretary?" A soldier asked him.
"No, I'm here to see the king!" Tom replied to him.
When the soldier heard Tom's words, he burst into laughter: "If you want to see the king, you must first see the king's secretary, and he will decide who can see the king." Go get in line, you'll have to wait. ("See me and wait, hehe" Chenxing "don't blow it...... to..."Tom. "I'm blowing, I'm the Star Emperor" Chenxing)
"I can't wait here all the time," Tom told him, "my village needs help, and it needs to hurry!" ”
"We all need help." A stout man with a beard that fell to his knees was very unhappy, and he said: "Those of us who live in the west are under the attack of the tsunami, and we must build an embankment by the sea, but we can build it with the help of the king!" ”
"We have a terrible blizzard to the north." One old woman said, "The whole kingdom is in crisis!" Listen to me, all of you, these are caused by the Holy Beast. ”
"Holy Beast?" The stout man mocked the old woman with disdain: "Don't talk nonsense over there! ("Hmph, I don't know" Yechen)
The old woman glared at him angrily, "If everyone doesn't believe in the existence of the Sacred Beasts, how can we stop them from continuing to harm the kingdom?" There must be something?? What do people do to them, let them start destroying our land. That's right, there's something evil that controls the Holy Beast......"
"What does that mean?" Tom asked the old woman.
The old woman turned away, ignoring Tom.
Tom remembered that when he was in the village of Orina, he saw a black thing flying up the hill, could it be the legendary sacred beast? It can't be a fire-breathing dragon, right? Tom looked at the long line in front of him and made a secret decision. He had come to ask the king for help, and he had to meet the king, even if he had to sneak into the palace. Tom swore in his heart, "As long as there is a drop of blood in my veins, I will save my village!" ("You're dead before you have a drop of blood left in your veins!") There is no common sense ......" Chenxing) He squeezed out of the crowd and walked out of the courtyard of the palace.
Night fell, and Tom began to walk around the outer walls of the palace, the bright moonlight shining on him. Tom muttered to himself, "I need to find an unrelated window, or an unlocked door." ("uh..... Tom, what do you think is the palace, the palace is so big, and a window or door that is not closed is so easy to find? Be careful not to get lost. "Chenxing" Hmph, do you want to take care of it? Tom)
But the palace was full of guards, and Tom snuck up near the east gate, where he was guarded by two strong guards in brown uniforms.
Suddenly, there was a running sound behind Tom, and in the darkness, a young man in shabby clothes rushed past him.
"Open the door! Open the door! "The boy's voice is sandy?? Shouting dumbly. The boy was about Tom's age, covered in dirt, and he was clutching a charred armor glove in one hand and a roll of parchment in the other.
"I have news from Sir Caldor, and I must meet the king!"
The guard opened the gate, then rushed over to help the boy, leaving the door open. ("It's so easy to get in...... Admire under it. "Nighttime)
Tom thought to himself: here's your chance!
