The steep slope is not long, and the sound of the descent is very fast.

Lin An felt that Titi's love changed from a slight nervousness at the beginning to a curious and interesting, Lin An could almost make up the way he looked down below, fortunately he still remembered Lancet's cunning, and he didn't shout for Lin An to come down.

Lin An called him a few times, thinking in his heart, "It seems that there is no danger down there." It's just that Titi was curious, and she refused to come up for a while.

At this time, Lancet touched a brick that was slightly sunken half an inch at the waist height of the right wall, and said, "It should be that one...... The monster touched the trap. ”

Lin An looked at the brick and thought of a possibility:

"There should be more than one secret passage under this palace, and the secret passage connecting to your palace may not be either, someone changed the mechanism of the underground secret passage, and this secret passage has changed."

It's just that the fork in the secret passage is blocked by a live wall, and the mechanism is very hidden, and the live wall moves to block the original exit, and they didn't notice that they were going the wrong way at first.

But the mechanism of the secret passage will not change for no reason, I am afraid that someone entered here or changed the mechanism in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin An used the communication technique and cast a "disappearing voice" on each other.

The two of them turned back to look for the mechanism that changed the secret passage, and sure enough, they found a living wall not far from the entrance, and found the mechanism, but the mechanism was stuck and could not be changed.

But this was not a problem for Lin An, the living wall was only three feet thick, and behind it was the secret exit passage that Lancet originally knew. With the Shadow Lynx's teleportation, the stuck living wall is not an obstacle but a layer of protection, not to mention that even without the Shadow Lynx, they can return to the entrance.

determined the way to retreat, Lin An and Lanster were no longer nervous, and Lin An infiltrated Lanster's collapsed palace room without being discovered. Obviously, no one would have known that they would use the underground tunnels. Then the change of the secret channel mechanism is not a trap for them.

"If the passages under the entire main chamber were a system, then perhaps they were connected to each other by now," said Rinster, "and the question now is whether it is Odin or someone else who changes the mechanism of the passages." ”

"Since Princess Elizabeth knows the existence of the secret passage, and she sues you, then this is for Odin. It may not be a secret, since he forced the palace, he would not fail to consider the emperor's escape through the secret passage and contact reinforcements. Lin An said without luck.

Lancet was silent for a moment, and had to admit the fact in front of him, the other party closed the exit to the outside world, if the secret passages under the other palaces were also like this, then it was undoubtedly a turtle in an urn. It is inferred from this. It is more likely that the changes in the secret passage are related to Odin.

The two returned to the oblique mouth touched by the Shadow Lynx before, and Titi noticed Lin An's departure, and finally walked out from below despite curiosity, the Shadow Lynx was shaking with ash, and there was a lot of dry ash on its long hair, and it was knotted one by one.

Then Lin An was surprised by the words that Titi had transmitted. Whispering to Lancet, "Thiago said there is a secret passage down there. ”

Lancet wondered how Lin An and Titi could communicate. Although the two did not say anything special, there was an indescribable intimacy in their actions, as if they could not be inserted by a third party, and Lin An did not introduce Titi's identity and origin, as if it came out of nowhere, which couldn't help but make Lancet feel a little depressed by Lin An's estrangement.

But Lancet didn't show this kind of depression, and when he saw Lin An looking at him inquiringly, he thought for a while and said, "Go down and have a look." ”

Lin An hesitated, thought of the previous slight shock, and nodded slightly.

Lin An asked the Shadow Lynx to clear the way, and immediately burst into excitement and slapped the Shadow Lynx on the head.

The shadow lynx whined twice dissatisfied, shaking its fur, and a dark green light suddenly appeared on the long black horns, and the huge beast body gradually shrank in the eyes of Lin An and several people, and finally became waist-high, about the size of a large dog, it was a lot more comfortable, and as soon as it lay down at the entrance of the slope, it slid down.

Lin An was slightly surprised, and followed down, behind His Royal Highness Ranster.

When he went down to the bottom, the width of the secret passage was narrower by another foot, and Lin An understood the reason why the Shadow Lynx had to shrink.

Titi pointed to a slightly convex black masonry on the left wall, Lin An remembered the mechanism touched by the Shadow Lynx, and pressed it on the masonry, and sure enough, the light above it dimmed, and the original exit closed.

The bottom was not a dead end, but a secret passage similar to the one above, and Titi and Shadow Lynx had a more accurate instinct for dangers such as traps than spells, and the two of them opened the way in front, and the three of them and one beast walked along the tunnel.

***

Time went back to when Lin An felt the vibration in the secret passage.

Click, click......

Tiny cracks spread across the walls, spreading quickly in the short time that everyone didn't have time to notice.

- Boom!

There was a dull loud noise, a huge pit appeared on the ground, and the palace room that was originally above the pit collapsed, like a toy building block, most of it was submerged in the pit, a large amount of ash and dust flew, and the wail sounded up and down the huge palace.

"What's going on!"

Such a loud noise would wake up even a person who had slept soundly, not to mention that it was just nightfall, and the dance was about to start after dinner.

The champagne towers piled up at the salon ball collapsed with a bang, the palace attendants panicked and could not stop the flow of the wine, and the party attendees ignored the serenade being played and rushed outside to see what was happening.

"Oh my God!"

The night was ignorant, and continuous vibrations came, and when people found out that the vibrations came from the direction of the palace, they cried out in panic, and some of the ladies and ladies who couldn't stand the fright inhaled vigorously, smelled a burst of wine at the end of their noses, and only felt their hearts beat violently, and they fainted.

The people became even more panicked, and the silence of a calm moonlit night was shattered in an instant.

But the hunt itself was interrupted during the day, and there was no news from the palace, and only the young people who were far away from the center of power had the heart to hold a party as usual. Most of the nobles stayed in the villa manor at the foot of the palace mountain, and when the tremors came, they also looked in the direction of the palace for the first time.

The whole palace is built on the mountain, the palace buildings and spires of the height are unevenly distributed upward, the villas and manors of the nobles are like stars and arches around the mountain, and the height difference of the terrain is impossible for people to find out the accident point at the first time. Many nobles immediately called for their guards to pull out their horses. Gather in the direction of the palace.

Leonardo was one of them, and at the moment when he felt the vibration coming from the direction of the palace, he was with James.

The Benson family's villa was very close to the palace wall, on high ground, and when I looked out the window, I saw a spire broken in half and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Something happened to the palace!"

"Sure enough!"

The two looked at each other. Immediately stood up, and without waiting for the horses to be pulled out, the two of them lit up with different fighting spirits and spells, and galloped towards the gate of the palace, with the guards following closely behind.

Sumisibi Palace occupies a large area, occupying the entire high ground, and the collapsed palace seems to be located near the top of the high ground. At the foot of the mountain is a long, roughly circular wall. The high walls of solid stone, with high and deep battlements, resemble the outer walls of a castle, with an artificially dug moat surrounding the outer walls.

When Leonardo and James arrived at the foot of the mountain and were about to reach the palace gate, they found that the road ahead was blocked, and a group of black pressed people stood in front of them. The iron bridge, which was supposed to be laid down over the moat, was also pulled up.

Leonardo turned his head, condescending so that he could look down on the situation below. At the foot of the mountain, which was occupied by night, many orange-red lights lit up, and the torches were either sparse or dense, and gradually gathered into a long dragon towards the gate of the palace.

And the people gathered by the moat could not maintain the reserved calm of the nobility as before, or in this case, there was no need for them to hide their concern and loyalty to the emperor, and the more obvious the better.

On this winter trip, the emperor put all the court ** divisions except for Master Don Quixote, as well as the ** divisions of the two secret magic groups, into the entourage, plus the four golden sword saints from the Sword Saint Mountain, under the protection of such an iron wall, no one would believe that the emperor would have any accidents, at least for the vast majority of nobles who did not notice the abnormal atmosphere in the first family, this is the case.

Leonardo looked left and right, most of the nobles looked nervous and anxious, but he couldn't feel the fluctuation of people's hearts in the middle of it, Leonardo smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but say to James:

"Fortunately, His Majesty hasn't handed over the talisman to me yet."

"You should be wondering why you haven't seen the accompanying army arrive yet." James said, looking up at the neatly lined torches and soldiers on the wall, but there was a growing sense of unease in his heart.

On the parapet, an officer in silver bust stood in front of the soldiers, looking condescendingly at the people below, the light of the torches shining from behind him, making it impossible to see his face.

Apparently he had the iron bridge pulled up, and insisted on not lowering the bridge and letting people in during the previous loud conversation.

Leonardo was hiding on the periphery, and was ignored by James, and now it was an earl who came out to negotiate with the officer, and the two sides were at a stalemate, the count lost face, and some people in the crowd laughed at the earl who wanted to show loyalty, but bit a hard bone.

"Those soldiers are lined up neatly, and no one even goes to the rescue, it seems that there is nothing major in the palace." Leonardo heard the people around him whisper easily.

"Who is this Praetorian Guard captain, his bones are so hard!"

"If I were him, I wouldn't let people in, otherwise I would let others show loyalty in front of His Majesty, and he would be the one who was derelict in his duties!"

"But no matter how tough he is, he can't win against those adults," the other said, "Look, His Highness Douglas and a few adults are here!" ”
