Chapter 61." Harem Escape"
-
On the other hand, it is a story full of medieval "chivalric fiction" style.
There are the noble women in the boudoir who are pure and in need of salvation, there are noble and handsome knights, there are complicated court battles, there are gold coins, there are horses and swords. There are even magicians.
It's just that the protagonist of the knight's story will definitely live before the end and solve all the puzzles.
But the reality is not so clear, simple and simple.
There is no such thing as a "protagonist" in reality.
"Is that okay?" asked Mo Shi, licking his dry lips slightly nervous.
This made the already young man even more nervous, he swallowed, nodded, and bent down to take off his shoes, revealing his feet with fine dog hair, and retracted his sharp claws twice.
"The gap between the next patrol and the next time the patrol leaves is about ten minutes. Mo Shi knew that the boy didn't have a concept of "minutes", but he also knew that the boy trusted him absolutely at this time, and he didn't care about this kind of detail at all, "Do you remember what you should do?"
"Yes," the boy repeated fluently, "I'll need to quickly pull out the window after the patrol leaves, and try to cling to the gap in the masonry with my fingers and claws—and you'll use the moving magic to help me lose some weight to make it possible to climb—I'll climb along the wall to the east corridor, climb through the window to enter the corridor when I'm sure the guards won't pass through, and get out of here through the side stairs......"
After all, the third floor is still too high, and there are too many soldiers on the ground. Eventually, they rejected the "jump down and find a way out" option, choosing instead to move parallel to a narrow corridor that was almost untouched (where only the Raccoon Clothes had been passing recently).
"That's right, that's right. Mo Shi nodded, "And the rest is up to you, young master." May it be endless—I mean, may God bless you. ”
"Okay, no problem, okay. At most, it's going to be escorted back, isn't it?" he smiled nervously, "but your hands, your hands really don't matter?"
"No problem. At best, it hurts a little. Mo Shi smiled at him, "But magic is here, isn't it, you can't climb a wall with half a palm, but I can cast magic." ”
The footsteps of the guards could be heard from the bottom of the building.
When the footsteps turned around the corner, Mo Shi nodded at Dino.
-
Dino Firebird was indeed a young warrior, and at the same time he was the son of a worthy Grand Duke—
He had never used his fingerclaws so primitively, let alone leaned on them to move laterally across the vertical castle walls. He knew that he would not have been able to hold himself on the wall without Mostone using his shifting magic to lift his clothes and share the weight for him.
But it's still not easy.
Unable to work on living beings, the object-shifting magic could only be sustained by the entire suspension of clothing, so the sleeves clamped tightly around the arms, and Dino's fingers and toes used all their strength to create enough friction on the walls.
He endured the pain of gravity pulling on his nails and skin beneath his fur, and he endured fear and pain with every movement. As the physical strength passes, the slower the speed becomes the later you go.
At the same time, he smelled the warm smell of blood, which he knew was bleeding from the wound on Moshi's right hand.
Although he did move towards the east side step by step, the smell of blood did not decrease but increased, because the blood was gurgling. He could imagine the fingers glowing from his exertion and the blood flowing down his sleeve. Obviously, his weight is an extremely huge burden for Mo Shi, who is not in good shape at the moment.
Dino gritted his teeth and picked up speed.
Faster, faster – ten steps to get around a corner, nine, seven, three......
However, his ears caught the patrol's footsteps.
He couldn't move for a moment, clinging to the wall for fear of making any noise.
The patrols were scattered and densely paced, from far to near. Dino held his breath.
He could feel Moshi amplifying the effects of magic to stabilize his state. Dino quickly climbed to the other side of the wall. Now it can be said that every minute is racing against time, and at this time, he can't confirm Mo Shi's state by calling, he doesn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The sense of suspension is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but fortunately, the windows of the side corridor are already close at hand.
He stretched out his arms and clinged to the windowsill—
In an instant, the effect of the object-shifting magic was gone.
Dino slid down, exerting all his strength on the arm that was clinging to the stone platform.
And the footsteps of the convoy were already approaching the corner.
He took a deep breath and quickly applied a botched strengthening spell to his arm (his magic skills really weren't very good), his muscles bulging and his elbows flexing, finally sending him to the inside of the building.
The pace of the convoy passed calmly, as usual.
Dino crouched under the window and waited until the footsteps died down before letting out a long sigh of relief.
Next is to reach the north wing of the building complex where the harem is located.
Given that he was the son of a duke and had a noble position, he lived not very far from the north wing. And with the few idle weeks leading up to the coup, and the many "little stories about adventures in the castle" that Terlota told him, he was barely familiar with the path ahead.
As for whether he can successfully evade all the guards, this will of course test Dino's luck and ability.
-
Gelota Pearl of the Sea Golden Lion - The second princess of the northern kingdom, the last child born to the king and the first queen.
Shortly after she was born, her mother died of illness.
Immediately, his father officially married the current queen, who already had a son at the time (she was originally a court lady, but later became the king's legitimate lover after giving birth to Prince Manxi, and was favored by many people).
The Terlotta is the youngest of all the children. Even if she doesn't think of Manxi as her family, she still has reliable brothers and sisters. Perhaps because she didn't have her mother's discipline and her father gave her double doting, her personality was very different from Manka and Terina:
She is freer, more willful, and her nature has never been forcibly suppressed.
She didn't have the burden of her brother and sister on her shoulders, and because she didn't have too many memories of her mother, she was more cheerful and happy.
She didn't hate Mansey in the first place. Before her father became seriously ill, she had always regarded him as a more distant, cousin-like man.
Until my father fell ill.
The former and harems have all set off discussions about the heirs, and although secretive, they are enough to cover the entire palace like a tidal wave.
Suddenly, Terotta realizes that Mansey is Manca's enemy, and that the new queen is also their enemy.
Despite this, her sister said to her:
"Don't think about those things, Terlotta, you don't need to think about them. Think about what kind of betrothed your father will choose for you, Terlotta, and what kind of knight he will be, handsome, brave, manly, noble, rich and generous, or maybe he will make your heart flutter...... Think about those, think about how many children you're going to have, think about the names of those children......"
Her sister, Princess Terina, was so polite, restrained, proud, beautiful, and devoted all her love to her and Manka.
It's a pity that my sister isn't here......
The queen said that the Terlotta was too small and noisy. So she wasn't allowed to go with her sister to the Platinum Temple to pray for her father.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her thoughts wandering.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a knock at the door from the west side door.
Strange as the door was usually the one through which the Raccoon Maids passed, and they never knocked when they came in, and besides, it should not be the time for them to come and serve. However, considering that the court is now in a "period of special circumstances" - besides, Gelotta never speculates much.
Terotta had wanted to call for her maid to open the door.
But she had just taken them away so that she could be in the bedroom for a while.
So she yelled at the side door, "Come in!"
Of course, this is very unladylike, and if my sister is here, she will definitely be reprimanded.
But, whatever, it's already a mess here anyway—Mansey has rebelled! how else can she "offend"?
The door was gently opened, and an equally light step stepped onto the carpet.
"Jie ...... Princess Terlota?"
Gelota jerked her head back.
"Lord Dino Firefinch?!, why aren't you wearing shoes?"
