…

In a nondescript bungalow in Beishu Town, Fair is restrained by several sharp blades.

"Black Hand! What does this mean? Staring at the scar-faced man with black curly hair in front of him, Fair said angrily.

"What do you mean... Of course, I want to entertain the patrol envoy who has just arrived in the north. The black hand sneered twice and said coldly.

The Black Hand is Andrew's henchman who has been cultivated single-handedly, and there is no specific name, but he is called the Black Hand. Mainly helps the Bine family to take care of the black organization in the north. Black jobs like brothels, casinos, and killers are all what he is good at.

After Andrew became the emperor in the yellow robe, the status of the black hand also rose, and he became the head of the secret service of the Scott empire, specializing in dealing with those dishonorable things for His Majesty.

The last time he was in custody, he put Phil in a position and let Princess Angelina go, causing Andrew to blame him.

is the so-called black hand who eats a trench and grows wise, and once again works with Fair, before implementing the arrest plan, he decisively let his subordinates capture Phil who is in the way, although he has no right to kill Fair, but only to restrict his movements, and General Owen will not say anything if he wants to come.

"Do you know what you're doing? Holding state officials hostage is tantamount to treason! Fell threatened, trying to get the black hand to let go of himself.

"No, no, no, how can you say hijacking? Lord Fair, you must be tired from the futile journey to the North, and I will also let you rest more. As for the rough work of capturing the princess, let's leave it to us, don't worry, I will be very 'gentle'~"

"Haha..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

After the black hand finished speaking, the people in the room laughed.

"Lord Black Hand, the target has already entered the range of arrest..."

"Oh, yes, let's go, you still have you, stay and watch him, and the rest will be with me"

"Yes!"

The crowd answered, followed the black hand, and left the room under Fair's angry gaze...

…

In the snow, Angelina ran hard, the lack of magic power, the consumption of physical energy, and the thick snow in the mountains and forests, all these unfavorable environments made her full of worries about completing the request for help.

Of course, the biggest crisis still comes from the rear ...

"Right ahead... She can't run far..."

There were points of light flickering in the black mountain forest, which were chasing the torches in their hands, and according to rough estimates, there were about twenty people involved in the task of chasing him.

Although she also considered giving up, the thought of her father, who died of illness, Angelina threw away this tempting idea.

She gritted her teeth, touched the paperwork in her arms, and continued to stumble towards the Fiano Mountain, the night was still very long, and if she persevered, she might see the dawn of victory...

Turning over a snowy mound again, Angelina looked cautiously ahead, where several bright torches flickered not far away, and gradually approached. She turned around and looked behind her, where the previous ones were still hanging behind.

Although the sky was dark and the terrain was complicated, the 'prey' was not caught up by the 'hunter', but the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

There was an ambush in front and a pursuer in the back, and Angelina was surrounded by the other party.

What to do!

If she doesn't find her way out quickly, then she will inevitably be caught.

'If only my magic level was a little stronger...'

Angelina regretted that she didn't practice spells diligently when she was a child, and if she could be at the level of a magician, where would she still need to be chased and intercepted by a group of lackeys from the north.

She was obviously panicked, not to mention whether she could reach the level of a magician, even if she did, Andrew would definitely send stronger personnel to arrest her, and the outcome would be the same at that time, for a huge country, personal strength would not work after all, of course, this is just a conclusion in the usual sense.

Just when Angelina panicked and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, the soles of his feet slipped, and he fell into a hole hidden under the snow**.

"It hurts!"

With a cry of pain, Angelina clutched her sore buttocks, carefully got up, and opened the fire fold, so that she could have a chance to look at the cave.

Intricate and mysterious patterns are everywhere you look, and the spacious and neat caves are not naturally formed at first glance.

The densely patterned walls of the cave do not have the flaws left by the carvings, but they make this cave extraordinary.

Maybe it was made by some ingenious craftsman in history...

Streams of air blew out from the depths of the darkness, making a 'whining' sound like a woman's cry, and it looked like the cave had been dug very deeply.

Since there is wind, it means that there is a vent at the other end of this cave, and the amount of wind is not small, which means that the vent on the opposite side is not too small, and if you are lucky, Angelina can escape from the encirclement of pursuers through this cave dug by the 'ancients'.

Feeling the whirring wind, Angelina was overjoyed, she raised her arm and held the fire fold, and quickly walked towards the cave.

With the sound of footsteps moving away, the princess's slender figure was gradually engulfed by the darkness and disappeared into the depths of the cave...

…

"What about people!?"

Looking at the white snow in front of him, the black hand was full of surprise. More than twenty people surrounded a woman together, and rushed up only to find that Angelina, who was supposed to be here, was actually missing, and the black hand felt a little ridiculous.

"Look! There's a hole in there! ”

One of his subordinates roared, and the black hand woke up, and immediately jumped into the snow pit, and at a glance saw the cave hidden under the snow, and a gust of yin wind blew out of the cave, making the black hand's curly hair flutter.

Depending on the situation, the cave was buried by heavy snow, so that people did not find it at the first time; This is probably the reason why there is no record of this cave in the information obtained by the scouts.

'If I had known which guy had found the way, I would have skinned him!' ’

Black Hand thought fiercely, but he didn't have time for such a boring thing right now.

The wind is so strong, this cave is by no means a dead end, if the princess finds the exit, it will be worth it!

"Leave two people to guard here, everyone else comes with me, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the black hand commanded, he took the torch and jumped into the cave first, and quickly chased a group of men into the depths...

…

In the dark cavern, Angelina walked forward tiredly.

For some reason, every time she felt like she was about to find the outlet, the strange wind would suddenly change direction, which made her follow her change the direction of travel and walk towards another fork in the road.

She had tried to keep walking, and perhaps at the end of the road she would see the exit of hope. But what greeted her was another winding and bottomless passage.

At first, she thought that this was just a refuge left over from a certain era, and that even if she couldn't find a way out, she should have some countermeasures.

But as she got deeper, Angelina rejected the idea - it was too big!

Channel, channel, channel!

Fork in the road, fork in the road, fork in the road!

Pattern, pattern, pattern!

After walking for so long, Angelina has never seen a passage that has ever ended, the end of all passages must be the beginning of the next passage, and the most terrifying thing is that from beginning to end, that kind of delicate and complicated pattern has never disappeared!

What kind of person is it that has gone to such great lengths to dig out so many endless passages in all directions? What's the use of carving intricate patterns into the passages?

Looking at the endless patterns, Angelina felt like a small piece of food in the intestines of some monster, maybe the intestines would be crushed into powder and excreted as feces by the monster.

Thinking of this, Angelina's heart felt cold, and her breathing became short.

"Click!"

"Who!"

Angelina was startled by the strange noise coming from behind, and she subconsciously looked back and asked. However, she did not get any response.

After waiting for about a few minutes, Angelina was relieved to see that there was still no movement.

It seems that the monotonous and repetitive environment has hallucinated her, and she needs to find a way out of this strange hole quickly.

"Whew~"

Just as Angelina was breathing a sigh of relief and loosening her tense muscles, someone suddenly fell behind her and blew cold air on her neck.

Angelina's hairs stood on end, and she twisted her body like a spring, illuminating the space with the fire fold in her hand.

"Ha-hu-ha-"

There was nothing here except his own gasping for breath, which seemed to be out of breath. But Angelina was scared, she was sure that there was definitely someone standing behind her just now, and it was close to her!

"Zi~"

Perhaps it was because the burning materials ran out, and the fire in his hand suddenly went out, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness. Angelina was so frightened that her fingers shook, and the extinguished fire fell to the ground with a few sparks.

She quickly pulled out a new fire fold, and with a flick of the lid, the light lit up the surroundings again.

Her eyes were red, her face was pale, and her head immediately caught Angelina's eyes.

"Ah——!h

She screamed hoarsely, closed her eyes, and fainted...
