Volume 1 The Prince of Tomb Robbers XVIII
Suddenly, a house in the front block collapsed, almost hitting me as I was galloping.
In the dust, among the ruins, a figure three meters tall emerged.
It was a man of arms, with horns on his head and a row of scales as sharp as knives on his shoulders.
Later, I learned that this was the legendary elephant man.
And what I am facing at the moment is the best of the elephant people, the elephant warriors with strong combat effectiveness.
The nose of this thing was really big and drooping, like a python.
At the sight of this, my horse was frightened and jumped high.
I couldn't hold any of them, so I fell off my horse and fell into a rut.
The elephant man apparently noticed me, turned and stepped over the broken bricks and came towards me.
I was so dizzy that I didn't feel scared.
At the critical moment, three sharp arrows came in quick succession, hitting the elephant man's temple, neck, and left eye.
I am sure that the arrow that hits the temple is the deadliest.
The elephant man roared. He forsook me and threw himself in the direction of the arrow.
In that direction, Tang Keduo and the others stood still.
They sent the arrows that saved me, and they were my saviors.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed out and swooped down on the tall elephant man.
Then the elephant man fell down and could not get up again.
I saw that it was Raul who arrived. He ended the elephant man's dying throes with a sharp blade.
Raul returned to me and lifted me up in a state of panic.
I had almost forgotten how I got back to the Mirada Palace, how I got into bed in the service of the maids.
All I remember is that Raul personally put the crown back on my head.
I must have dropped the crown to the ground in a panic, and it was he who put it back on for me, which I have a deep memory.
Perhaps, I told them to send me back here.
But I can't remember exactly, because it was the first time in my life that I had encountered such danger.
War is coming, and I'm in the middle of it!
When night came, I lay in bed.
I couldn't sleep at all, I was afraid that at any moment a big bomb would fall from the sky, hit the roof of my house, and then fall on my head and slap on my body.
My body was a little sore, but the doctor checked and the bones were fine, just some abrasions on the flesh.
I just lay here, tossing and turning, thinking nonsense.
Am I really going to carry out my original plan and escape through the tunnels?
When I saw that there was no one around, I touched the ring and called out to Leinda.
With a flash of light, Leenda appeared.
Sometimes, she shows up on her own initiative, and I have to do it if I want to meet her.
"You didn't get the orb," she said, "and it seems like a bit of a high order." You'll need to keep an eye out for what exactly it's hiding in Seravic. ”
I didn't have the heart to get the orb now, so I asked her, "I'm going to get out of here, and what can I do to get out safely?"
Surprised, Leanda asked, "It's a good thing that you're now a noble prince, why do you want to leave?"
"The city will soon be breached by the rebels," I said, "and I'm afraid that the rebels have already entered the city and will soon take it." If you don't leave, it'll be too late!"
"Finnicki is not as fragile as you think," she said, "and the Celes Royal Guard is not as vulnerable as you think." ”
I moved the pillow behind me to make myself sit higher.
"I'm still going to leave because of the war...... War, I have no experience with war. I said.
"Well, since you're going to run away," (I heard a deep sense of disappointment when she said that), she said, "then you can run away." Originally, I was thinking that after you get the 'Five Directions Nether Orb', you will be able to gain the power to control the soldiers of the dead in battle. You didn't get it, and I would have had to help you find another way to deal with them. Looks like I don't have to bother, you're going to run away, you don't need my help. ”
I asked, "What are the dead soldiers, are they very good?"
"If you put it two hundred years ago, they were the lowest ranking of the undead soldiers. But in this day and age, they are soldiers who are a great headache for the enemy. ”
"Well, tell me later how to deal with them. I thought, I should go!" I said, "I need your guidance on where to go if I go through the tunnel, and where to go?"
"I don't know!" she said, a little annoyed, "I think you should wait until you get the orb before you leave the city." ”
I shook my head and said, "I'm determined to get out of here." I'll be back if it's safe here. I promise you!"
The light is gone.
It can be seen that Leenda walked away with disappointment.
I hesitated, but I decided to get out of here at the thought of the danger I had encountered not long ago.
I think of Vettel, I have the impression that she is on duty today, why didn't I see her just now?
I called in the chubby Lalitta, who seemed to have a good relationship with Vettel.
I asked Lalita, wasn't Vettel on duty today, why didn't I see her?
Lalita told me that Vettel was on duty in the dining room, so she wasn't here.
I told her that Vittel was going to be transferred tonight, come here, and ask her to change Vitttel, this is my order, carry it out immediately!
After saluting, Lalita went silently.
I'm waiting, and I'm worried.
The dining room isn't too far away, but I think it's been such a long wait.
The lotus step sounded softly, and the dark fragrance hit. Faintly, the figure of Vettel appeared by the doorway.
I hurriedly shook a string of brass bells in my hand to signal for her to come in.
I was so excited and my heart was pounding.
However, two young girls walked up to me at the same time.
In addition to Vittle, there is also a maid named Aveva.
With a calm face, I told Aveva to go out first, piggybacking on the door shut.
Avava glanced at Vitel, a little worried.
I was in a hurry and shouted orders for her to go out.
Startled, Avava hurriedly turned and ran out, closing the door shut.
I jumped out of bed and hugged Vettel.
Vettel must have been frightened, but when she reacted, she tried hard to break free of me.
The few words she said to me made my mind less hot and my hands became more regular.
She told me that if I wanted to be close to her, it was not impossible, but not at this moment, for the matter would soon be known to His Majesty, and she would be punished very severely, and possibly even killed.
She also asked me, what about Anne, why don't you go to Anne for company?
Of course I couldn't tell her the truth, so I asked her when I could, and made it clear to her that I wanted her, not Annie!
There was a hint of excitement in Vettel's eyes, and she immediately calmed down and said to me, There is something I hope that my Royal Highness the Prince can forgive.
What did I ask her?
She told me that Firmus was her own uncle, and now that he was at fault and in prison, she hoped that I would forgive Firmus and not hurt him, let alone his family.
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the big embezzler Fillus turned out to be her uncle.
I agreed to her request, and I didn't shield the embezzler.
I reached out and grabbed her left arm and pulled her into my arms.
She resisted slightly, but was generally submissive.
We soon looked at each other, and we were together with deep affection.
The earth shook again, and after the shaking, the beams on the roof echoed.
I hugged her tightly from behind and told her that I wanted to take her out of here and to a distant place, to a safe place.
Vettel was silent for a moment and asked me, why didn't you take Anne away?
I said don't always mention that girl, I only have you in my heart now.
Vettel was silent for another moment.
I couldn't see any change in her expression.
After a while, she said to me, if you really love her, then don't leave, just be here.
I got up, looked at her, and said to her, this country is over, and if you don't leave, you're going to die here.
Vettel turned to me and said, "No, Celes won't die!"
I noticed that the beautiful girl's eyes were full of faith.
I told her what I knew, and it was serious, and Finnicki couldn't hold out for long.
Vettel grabbed my hands and said to me in an excited tone, if you really care about her, please don't leave, at this moment, this country needs me, and I have the responsibility to protect her!
The ground shook again, and a pillar on the other side was crooked, which made me determined to flee at once, desperate.
I hurriedly put on my clothes, but I just put on my pajamas.
Vettel refused to go out disheveled. She seemed to have some discomfort in her stomach, and stopped to rub it from time to time.
The way she slowed down made me feel restless.
I smelled burning, like something was burning.
At this moment, Leanda suddenly appeared and urged me to get out of the house because it was on fire!
I couldn't leave Vettel alone, so I just picked her up and rushed out.
The flames had sealed the gate, and I had to turn to the small door on the other side.
Damn it, the little door is locked!
