Chapter 60: Trying to climb over the wall
-
Mo Shi forced his attention to take his attention away from the pain in his palm: "We should first think clearly about what we need to do and what we should do. ”
"We need to get out of here. Dino said without thinking, and looked at his hand. This makes it difficult for Moshi to divert attention.
They were silent for a moment.
Or rather, Mo Shi was silent for a while. Knowing that Dino looked up at him a little strangely.
"So," Mo Shi pondered with difficulty, commanding his reason, "what is the necessity of leaving?"
"Necessity?" said Dino in surprise, "necessity is this—"
He pointed to Mo Shi's mutilated palm.
"Isn't that enough to get you out of here! he hurts you, he hurts us, he, he'......"
"Don't be presumptuous, Dino. Again, "Think about the reason why we have to leave here. Then we can gauge whether what we might do next is worth doing. ”
"It's too ...... Well, well, maybe you're right. ”
However, they obviously couldn't use their brains properly for a while.
They spurred their brains in silence until suddenly the crow of a raven was heard outside the window.
The ravens that had been kept in Dino's room had been taken away by the guards, so they could no longer use them to send messages.
"If," Dino began, slowly, "if they threaten Diffindor with me, forbid the soldiers of the Fire Sparrow to confront them...... I, I don't want to be a burden, don't you understand? I don't ......."
The boy stopped and took a soft breath.
Then he continued, "I'm not saying that I think Diffonor would give up what he had promised because of me. Moreover, my duty to remain here was to make His Highness Manka remember what he had promised to the Firesparrow, and it was clear that there was no need for that at the moment. ”
- Surprising bravery and loyalty.
Mo Shi thought.
And the teenager continued: "I don't want Diffindor to hesitate for fear of me, or to be forced to witness me being hurt and have to continue to fulfill his obligations—and that would not be fair to him. He should not have to pay the price of 'seeing my brother hurt' for my misjudgment. ”
Mo Shi noticed that he was holding his breath slightly. He endured it, and only then did he replace the swear words that he was about to blurt out subconsciously to express praise with this sentence: My God.
This is truly "noble". The word noble was clearly intended to be applied to this teenager.
Or rather, this is what a real good education teaches. And he really loved his family and didn't want them to suffer.
"It's a ...... Noble enough reasons. Mo Shi said sincerely.
But apparently the boy thought there was some irony in this sentence.
He blushed a little, and stammered, "Well, well, as you can see, I have to admit that the reasons why I want to try to get out of here are that I hate the Mansey Golden Lion's practices, and I am so frightened that I want to get out of this hellish place quickly......"
"Don't, don't. Mo Shi reassured him, "Just because you're scared doesn't mean you're a coward. ”
"That means you support the idea that we should find a way out of here?"
Mo Shi nodded.
"I'll help you," he sighed, "I will, as much as I can." It's just that I have to say that I don't have a clue at all right now, and I don't know what to do. ”
"Your hand...... You may need to take a break. Dino thought for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, we can't think of a way to escape in a while." I could hear the footsteps of the guards in the hallway outside. ”
As Mo Shi leaned against the fur blanket, he heard the crow chirping outside.
Ravens raised by humans are always forced to wander in search of their lovers, which is why their cries are so long......
Despite being clear-headed, the bleeding body craves sleep.
Mo Shi was half-asleep and half-awake for a moment, and when he woke up, it was already dusk. When he inadvertently turned over, his palm was touched and the wound was cracked. The bandage was completely stained red.
Outside the narrow window were dark clouds dyed yellow.
Mo Shi returned to the main room where Dino was, and saw the young man leaning against the window.
"Raven has circled here five times. Then another one came and circled five times. Dino said, "The autumn crows of the Firefinch are so trained that if they can't find a place to stay, they will fly around five times and then return—this must be the Raven of the Firefinch." It's Diffon...... It must have been Diffonor, which means that he has already arrived outside the city, perhaps to join Prince Manka. ”
The boy looked back at him.
The dim light of dusk made the beastly pupils of the pair of eyes erect.
"We have to get out of here. The boy said firmly.
Mo Shi walked closer to him: "You have a plan?"
-
Dino nodded firmly, but didn't know why he looked a little embarrassed.
But after Mo Shi heard some of what he said, he quickly understood.
"Gerota told me that there is a path in the back garden of the ladies that was secretly opened by some noblewomen a long time ago in order to go out without permission, but it has long been locked up. ”
Oh.
Moshi noticed that Dino no longer referred to Gerota as "Princess Gerota".
What this means is obvious.
The boy continued, his expression serious, not realizing what he was thinking: "The keys were taken by the eldest of the princesses, and the grandmother was too old to remember it, so the keys were hung behind the door of Grandma's room—and Gelotta had managed to get it. ”
Mo Shi was thoughtful.
"She tried to open the door, but it didn't work because it rusted so badly. I figured I could try it and try my luck. Dino nodded after saying his plan.
Mo Shi decided to ignore the other things and focus on this "escape" plan: "However, you want to get the key, and if you want to get it, then you must at least get in touch with Princess Gelotta first." ”
"Yes. Herein lies the problem. I've got to find a way to get out of this room first......"
Dino looked at the door.
"The door is locked. He said, "And the window ......"
This is the third floor, and according to the physical fitness of snowwalkers, it may not be impossible to try jumping. If you use sheets, curtains and other cloth to tear into long strips to climb, it can even be said that it is completely feasible.
But it is clear that Mansey will not neglect the enemy in this regard.
- There are soldiers patrolling the floor from time to time.
"The soldiers at the bottom of the building, the soldiers on the porch outside the door...... We need to figure out how long their patrols will be. "It's almost night, and you can't act rashly at night—I don't think the princesses' boudoirs will ever remain open after dark, and it's not convenient for you to open the windows at night—"
"Flip through the window?"
"How you get into Miss Gerota's room, Master Dino, it's up to you, and I guess you have your own plans. And I've built some ideas on how to get out of this room. ”
