Chapter 610: The Tunnel That Went Wrong
The Emperor would not listen to Odin, and the only person who could influence him to appear in one of these three locations as planned would be someone he could trust.
“…… Could it be that Odin even reached out to the emperor? ”
Lin Anxin flashed such doubts, and couldn't help but talk to himself, and instantly listed several possible candidates in his mind.
A gust of wind rustled through the dense forest, and the shadowlynx lying on the grass moved its long-haired ears, and Titi opened her eyes as if she were aware of it, and looked up with the shadowlynx to the left and right.
Lin An didn't see anything in his perception, looking at them, the two of them looked around for a while, but they also found nothing, and their doubts flashed in their eyes, and when they saw that they didn't find anything, they quieted down.
The alarm was lifted, and Lin An dispersed the divine spell that had been prepared.
"If the emperor really has an internal response around him, and the first strike is stronger, then even if the one makes a move, it will not help--he may not interfere in the struggle for the throne, so that the prepared Odin does have a good chance of winning."
Lin An said, shaking his head, "The battle for imperial power is really terrifying, and the most trusted person may also be the most hidden traitor, and even such a strong man may not be the winner or loser who determines the outcome." ”
Lin An in the distance heard a loud sound, as if the tide was receding, and it was like someone's laughter, Lin An shook his head, put away the drawings and stood up, and patted the shadow lynx's big head:
"Let's go, there has been no movement for so long, it seems that it hasn't started yet, let's take the opportunity to go in and run away as soon as we find someone."
Lin An didn't know the timing of Odin's original plan, but Bobot. Now that George is dead, Odin has to move if he doesn't move. This chess game is about to come to the end of the picture, and the difference is only how much in advance.
It is impossible to say that Lin An doesn't want to know the ending or even get involved, even if it is not for the hatred with Odin. As a bystander who took most of the chess game into his eyes, and was an important fuse for this change, Lin An also wanted to know the outcome of this battle for imperial power.
If it weren't for her, perhaps the Emperor and Odin would not have come this far, and then there would not have been this upheaval on the banks of the Sumisibi River.
Lin An had a vague feeling that the outcome of this palace change would affect the fate of many people around him, and even the entire continent.
……
It wasn't too difficult to get into the collapsed palace of Ranster, not much before entering it. Titi was already able to go with the Shadow Lynx under the nose of the ** division.
But knowing that there are not only five or six accompanying ** divisions staring at the vicinity of the palace, but also at least multiple of the hostile ** divisions that are eyeing it, this invisible psychological pressure is a hundred times more vigilant, and even Titi seems to be able to smell the tension implied in the air.
"Ann, why are you back again!"
It was just nightfall, and it was only a few magic spells since Lin An left last time, and Lancet was more surprised than happy when he saw Lin An. With his political sensitivity, it is not difficult to feel that Lin An's actions represent unusual.
"Odin may have united the ** division of the Mage Tower, I don't know how many there are, but I just killed one, and the palace is likely to become a point of engagement."
Lin An explained the reason in one sentence, and Ranster immediately changed color, but fortunately this was his bedroom, and no one else heard this, so there was no panic.
"I suspect that there may be Odin's internal response around him."
"Where is Odin now?"
Lin An and Lancet spoke at the same time. But apparently expressed a different attitude:
Lin An emphasized the danger of Cheng dù. Trying to convince Lanster to stay out of danger, Lanster seems to be more interested in a political adventure.
The two looked at each other. Lancet's eyes flickered, "I think if Odin is in the palace too." He may not be able to ensure his own safety, so perhaps he can use this to know when he will launch. ”
Lin An thought of this earlier than Lanster, and said calmly: "So he is injured now and can't appear in front of most people." ”
The stand-in trick is very old, but Odin uses it very easily. George has appeared on the edge of the palace, and Lin An guesses that Odin, who is lying on the bed recuperating at this moment, is not himself, and even the ** master of the mage tower may not know his whereabouts.
In other words, unless the ending wins, Odin probably won't appear.
If he hadn't known this and was a step late, it would have been difficult for Lin An to hold back his mood of wanting to finish Odin with his own hands.
At this critical moment before the end of the picture, the layout of all parties is criss-crossed, and even Lin An cannot fully see the situation, and a wrong step will lead to the overall situation.
Lin An's experience is combined, and it is the first time to face such complex and intertwined changes, and he has to tell himself to be patient and patient.
She deliberately did not use spells to keep her calm, although this could reduce the influence of her emotions on her decision-making, but with her willpower, she kept herself calm and took every step, believing that after this palace change, this experience and experience would be able to enrich her experience even more, making her state of mind more complete and stronger.
Lancet's reaction was only slightly slower than Lin An's, the reason why they didn't expect Odin to attack so quickly was because they didn't know that Odin actually had the hole card of the Mage Tower, he had already learned from Lin An what was behind the two red signals, one of which was sent by Odin, and at this time, they immediately understood what Lin An meant.
"So what am I going to do?" Lancet asked Lin An.
"Anyway, the most important thing is to ensure safety first, you leave with me first." Lin Andao.
"Wait, you said that there might be an internal response around Your Majesty?"
Lancet remembered Lin An's previous words, and asked a few more words, and Lin An removed himself from Bobot. The discovery and speculation in George's relics said, Lance nodded, motioned to Lin An to wait, he went out to call someone, and came back in a while.
Because it was in the hall outside the room, Ranster did not avoid people when he commanded, Lin An knew that he had recruited his subordinates, sent someone to deliver a letter to Princess Elizabeth, and also ordered to gather people, and those who could leave the palace find an excuse to leave the palace, and the rest of the people stayed in the palace, if they heard something unusual outside. Let people hide in one of the cellars of this palace.
"If Odin wants to kill his father, I remind Elizabeth, I don't know if it's useful." Upon his return, Lancet said.
"Judging by Odin's plan. He didn't want to make things bigger, he just wanted to take the palace quietly, Princess Elizabeth didn't pose much of a threat to him, he shouldn't be so crazy. ”
Lin An comforted.
She knew that because of the engagement, with Lancet's sense of responsibility, it would be difficult to let go of Elizabeth's safety, but at this time, whether Elizabeth knew the truth or not, it was impossible for Elizabeth to agree to leave the palace, so Lancet could only do her best.
In Lancet's mind. Lin An's safety was much more important than a marriage contract between him and Elizabeth, and Lin An ventured back to him in this situation, and he couldn't make any more demands to make her embarrassed.
It's just that as a fiancé, giving up his fiancée and her family at this time, and watching her in danger, even if the marriage contract between them is quite special, it still buries a guilt for Elizabeth in Leinster's mind.
It was not too early, and Lancet did not delay any longer, taking out a set of guard clothes from the space equipment and changing into them. Lin An was slightly surprised that he was ready for this kind of clothing at any time, and Lancet had already brought the sword and magic equipment with him at this time, and nodded to her to signal that it was ready.
"Elizabeth told me that there is a tunnel under this palace where I live leading to the outside of the palace."
As for the fact that Lancet did not tell Sù Lin'an and Salin that they could go out of the tunnel, it was because a special token was required to open the tunnel mechanism, and this token was the engagement ring that Lancet and Elizabeth exchanged, an ancient lion's head seal.
Only families married to the royal family of Merlin would have such a ring, which represented the inheritance of the fiefdom of the children of the princess who was married, and only the family that had such a ring. to add a small triangular crown to the family coat of arms. It represents the honor of the family's historical marriage to the Merlin royal family.
Arriving in the study, Randster twisted three times in a row to the left on a mahogany bogu shelf. After twisting to the right and a half, a one-foot-long secret hole silently appeared on the wall on the right side of the Bogu frame.
Lancet took off a dark gold ring from his finger and pressed it into a hollow in his mouth.
It was quiet in the study. There was no abnormal sound, and after thirty breaths, there was a slight sound behind the wall, and a door-shaped wall next to the dark mouth was concave, and it was slashed to the side, revealing a cold passage behind it.
There was no musty smell in the passage, and the ventilation was excellent, and the Shadow Lynx and suddenly disappeared in place, and the next second they appeared in the passage.
Lin An knew that they had always been vigilant, and this reaction showed that the passage was safe, so he immediately walked in.
There is a large piece of fluorite embedded in the top of the passage, the light is bleak and dim, but it is enough to make people see the situation inside, the passage first felt a little chilly when I first entered, and after getting used to it, I no longer felt cold, the only drawback is that it is a little narrower, the shadow lynx walks in it and touches the walls on both sides from time to time, and it can't even turn around.
Ranster had entered the tunnel once, and according to him, the exit was in a small forest south of the palace, but after about a third of the way the three men and the beast had walked, Ranster suddenly spoke:
"No, the terrain is getting higher and higher."
Lin An and Titi suddenly stopped, muttered a spell, and a blue arrow appeared in the air, gradually elongating and distorting into a slight arc, and the arrow was biased to the right.
"It's not straight, it's about fifteen degrees away from the direction at the beginning," Lin An looked at the arrow and frowned, "But we didn't encounter a fork in the road on the road, how could we go wrong." ”
Before they could figure out why, a dull vibration passed through the hard stratum into the passage, and the passage shook slightly, dropping a little dust, some dust falling onto the Shadow Lynx's nose, and it sneezed violently.
"Ahh
Before the Shadow Lynx had finished sneezing, a series of slight vibrations had already been heard, which seemed to be far away from here, and the Shadow Lynx sneezed a few more times, shaking its fur impatiently.
I don't know where it hit, a square slanted mouth suddenly appeared under its body, and the shadow lynx, which was sneezing, didn't pay attention, planted its big head, and slid down the smooth slope, Titi screamed, and without waiting for Lin An to speak, brushed the ground and slid down.
