510 Bad Approach
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Chi and Zhen, but even the battle maid who was comforting Zhen was stunned, and her originally sweet voice suddenly became hoarse, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence:
"You...... Say what? ”
"Her Majesty is gone, and now the guards are looking for her." The guard lowered his head, and his frustration overflowed: "Now that the news has not spread, please don't tell anyone else......"
"In that case, then why are you telling us about these outsiders?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
"Because ......"
The guard paused meaningfully for a moment, fixed his gaze on Jane's little face, and then suddenly bowed deeply, bowed his head and said his request:
"The royal city cannot be without the Empress, there are not a few people with ill intentions now, if they learn that Her Majesty the Empress is missing, a large-scale rebellion may break out in the city!"
At this, the soldier's handsome face became stiff, his expression was very serious, and his voice became deeper and deeper.
He stood in front of Jane, who had a puzzled expression, bowed deeply, and almost knelt on the ground:
"So, I'm here to convey the request of the Guards, could you please pretend to be Her Majesty the Empress for the time being?"
When the soldier said this, the reception room was once again covered with a mysterious silence, and the first to break the silence was the pale battle maid:
"That's not good." The maid looked up at the guard's face: "They may ......"
"Aren't you afraid that we are the enemies who have infiltrated us?" Lin Chi said the main point of the matter.
"Of course I know the risks." The guard clenched his fists: "But now, it is almost time for Her Majesty to meet the guests." Today's visit is the ...... You know......"
Hearing the guard's words, the maid standing aside also fell silent.
Witnessing the performance of the two NPCs, Lin Chi could see that the situation in this royal city should be more complicated than he had guessed before he came.
It is very dangerous to have Jane pretend to be the Empress, and the members of the Guards and the Guards must know this. But - if the news of the Empress's disappearance is made public, the situation in the castle will be even worse!
In this way, the person who came to visit the Empress now should not be a fuel-efficient lamp. If he knew that the empress was gone, the consequences could be said to be unimaginable.
The members of the Empress's Guards must have weighed the pros and cons before making this dangerous decision. Thinking of this, Lin Chi nodded to Zhen, who was casting an inquiring glance at him, and then took a step forward and said in a low voice:
"It's okay for her to pretend to be the Empress, but as her guardian, I must be present. And, we need a complete picture of the castle. ”
Since it was the other party who made the request, Lin Chi also naturally began to put forward the conditions, and added by the way: "In addition, I need the list and information of all the people in the castle, as well as the right to move freely in the castle." ”
- He doesn't know if there are any players in this castle right now, but if he can get information about everyone in the castle, and the free passage of this castle. Finding out the hidden players inside is not difficult for Lin Chi.
After listening to Lin Chi's conditions, the guards and battle maids were silent.
Even if the situation was urgent, his request seemed to be too much. However, in this case, it seems that there is no better way.
"I'll report your request to the Guards, so please come with me. The talks will start in half an hour, and it will be too late to drag on! ”
As he spoke, the guard turned around and pushed open the door of the reception room, and Lin Chi and Zhen also followed quickly, passing through the golden hall and entering the somewhat dark long aisle:
"Now I will take you to the location of the pro-guards, remember, most of the people in the royal city do not know that the empress is missing, except for the pro-guards, do not divulge any information, if you let others know the condition of the empress, I am afraid that something will happen......"
"Okay, okay, I see." Lin Chi nodded.
Seeing that the other party looked like he had given up treatment, he finally suppressed the smile back into his stomach.
Lin Chi knew that if there was any other way, the members of the Empress's personal guard would not consider this solution. There is no doubt that these people are really at a loss now, so they will make this decision.
While pondering, Lin Chi followed the guards around the corner and walked up the long stairs.
This passage looked a bit like a secret passage that was hidden from people's ears, and there was no one encountered along the way, and when the guards opened the gate at the top of the stairs, the bright light cast from the top of their heads shook Lin Chi's eyes again.
"Wow......" Jane froze in place again, her eyes widened, and the green light flickered in her pupils:
Unlike the resplendent hall, what appeared in sight this time was a small castle of ice blue.
The ceiling is long gone, replaced by a crystalline "starry sky" that casts a sparkling light that illuminates the clearing below, as well as a small building in the center of the clearing.
In this large castle, there are also small buildings hidden, which already look strange. And when he saw the appearance of that small castle, even Lin Chi was momentarily sluggish:
It was a marvellous building that none of the world's greatest craftsmen could design, and could only be described as "perfect". The ice-like spires shone with a clear, pure light, and below it was a holy fortress carved out of a piece of blue crystal. It's more apt to say that this is not so much a castle as a wonderful carving.
"This is Her Majesty's bedchamber, and almost no one can enter it except for the Queen herself and members of the personal guard. This time, it was also because of the urgency of the situation that I was allowed to enter. The guard explained in a whisper.
"Are the Guards in there?" Lin Chi went straight to the point.
Although he hasn't seen the appearance of the empress's personal guards yet, judging from Zhen's hobbies, the personal guards here should also be ......
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chi saw that the main entrance of the Ice Blue Castle began to slowly open outward, and the hard heels of his shoes struck the crystal-like stairs, making a crisp clicking sound.
Pushing open the door from the inside, was a tall blonde maid, with dark blue pupils exposed under her bangs, unusually marked facial features on her white porcelain-like face, and a soft face with a hint of heroism, like a beautiful portrait, and she couldn't find any flaws.
When she saw the maid, Jane's eyes seemed to light up with a red heart, she raised her little hand to wipe her saliva, and said vaguely, "My ...... God"
"How do you have the same hobbies as men?" While complaining, Lin Chi observed the maid who was coming.
Like the maid in the hall, this maid was also dressed in a black and white lace maid outfit, but she seemed to be a bit more bloated than the maid in the hall, and she was probably wearing armor underneath her clothes.
Although the hidden armor made the upper body look slightly "fat", the two long legs exposed under the skirt that were never too long still made Zhen look straight and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"You're here."
The maid said and walked forward quickly, her long golden hair was scattered behind her like a waterfall, and after seeing Qingzhen's face, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on her face: "This is really not Her Majesty the Empress?" It's so similar......"
"She is the Empress's sister, and I am her guardian." Lin Chi introduced himself for Zhen, who was speechless.
"Are you the empress's ......" The maid looked at Lin Chi in surprise.
"No, I'm just in charge of taking care of this girl, and it has nothing to do with Her Majesty." Lin Chi explained.
"Well, the guards should have explained it to you, right?" The maid glanced at Jane in surprise again, as if she was afraid of being heard by someone, and secretly lowered her voice: "Her Majesty is missing now, we urgently need a stand-in, otherwise there will be a disaster." ”
"I see." Lin Chi nodded, and said slowly:
"We can help you, as long as we get paid."
