Chapter 29: The Demon King and the Princess (3)

…

"What!" Andrew's face immediately changed,

"Didn't you give it to the black hand, and you have to keep an eye on it? How can you let a woman run away from under your noses! ”

"This..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Princess Angelina is just a magician, and any army leader can take her down." General Owen smiled slightly, and said indifferently.

"If it's just Angelina running away, it's not a big deal. The point is that she carries the paperwork for help, and if she succeeds in escaping to Middle-earth, the consequences will be unimaginable. As soon as Owen said this, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and frowned.

Owen glanced at the map on the table and pointed to the southern part of Scott's empire,

"The southern part of the empire is a forest and swamp, and the geographical environment is harsh, and it is absolutely impossible for a princess, a general-level mage, to go this way;"

Owen moved his finger to the east, where the empire bordered the Middle States,

"Although the road in the east is smooth, there is a checkpoint every few miles here in the nine passes, and the people guarding here are at least king-level powerhouses, even if the princess is lucky enough to pass a checkpoint, it is impossible to walk through every level safely;"

Speaking of this, Owen paused, then moved his finger to the north, and nodded heavily,

"The west is naturally impossible, so there is only one way left in the north! Princess Angelina will inevitably escape from Scott through the Northern Trade Route, where merchants come and go, and use the Wari Empire to bypass the Empire's heavily populated east, and then travel to Middle-earth. Your Majesty only needs to inform the east and let them check it closely, and the princess will find that she can't do anything, and she will inevitably leave from the north, and when the time comes..."

Andrew frowned and pondered for a while, then furrowed his brows and said to his men:

"I heard it all."

"Yes!" The guard said respectfully.

"Let the Black Hand take his people to the north, Angelina lives or dies, but she must destroy the paperwork. You tell me that if you miss this time, don't come back! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The guard answered, and stood up to leave.

"Slow!"

Fell immediately spoke, stopped the guards who were about to walk out of the main hall, and then knelt down to Andrew,

"I beg Your Majesty to spare the life of the princess, and I am willing to go in person, arrest the princess, and destroy the documents."

"Oh? Of course I would like to do this, but why spare the princess's life? Andrew touched his chin and said with interest.

"That's..."

"The dog is rude, which makes His Majesty laugh, Fell and Angelina are childhood friends, and they have a good relationship with each other, so naturally they don't want their old friends to lose their lives because of a mistake." Fell was about to explain, but his father interrupted him.

"It's okay! Since the inspector has this will, I naturally agree. Alright, you can go with the Black Hand to arrest Angelina, but don't let me down! Haha..."

…

After finishing the discussion with the king, the general's father and son left the side hall and went all the way to the post house where they were temporarily staying outside the palace.

"Angelina was able to escape from the palace, you must have played a role in it." General Owen whispered.

"......" Fell did not answer, and acquiesced in his father's words.

"You have to know who controls the forbidden army and opens the palace gates; And who informed the outside of the timing of the attack of the Northern Army, which eventually led to the imprisonment of the royal family. ”

"If Freeman hadn't died, Angelina would have been married to Middle-earth, then..."

"Don't be naΓ―ve! No matter how bad Freeman is, it's her father, and she has royal blood in her body! If she knew all this, do you think she would love you again! ”

Fell tried to plead, but was interrupted by his father's harsh words.

"Phew~, Fair... Women are indeed good, but it is okay to play, if you fall too deep, be careful of losing yourself. General Owen put his hands behind his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said earnestly to his son.

"The child understands." Fell replied calmly, but it was clear from the unchanged look in his eyes that he had not listened to his father's lecture at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Owen gave his son a deep look, but said nothing.

There are some things that can only be understood after experiencing them firsthand. If Phil can't figure it out and put it down, it's just a waste of words to say more.

Fell walked slowly beside his father, but his eyes were empty, and his thoughts had drifted into the distance.

"Angelina... Are you alright?"

…

"Miss, the ninth level has arrived!"

The old man who drove the carriage shouted, and Angelina, dressed as an adventurer, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage nimbly.

"Thank you very much for your help, old sir." Angelina, who was covered with a veil, politely thanked the driver who gave her a ride.

"It's a little thing, thisβ€”" The old man rubbed his hands together and made a gesture to count the money.

"Ahh Fare! Angelina reacted immediately, she fumbled for a while, took out a transparent ruby, and handed it to the coachman,

"I'm sorry, I don't have gold with me, so I'll use this gem to top up."

"It's... It's a Blood Gem! Oh my God, miss, that's enough for me to be a coachman for you for the rest of your life, that's too much! The old man exclaimed, and quickly pushed the gem back into Angelina's hand.

"But that's all I have..."

Looking at the gems in her hand, Angelina was a little helpless, because she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to bring the gold coins, and she only had the gems on her body that were used as magic mediums. But now the old gentleman doesn't accept this thing, how can this be good.

"Forget it, I'm just on the way, so I don't have to give money, your gem, I will be snatched away within three days of taking it, Miss, you better take it yourself." Alas... Aristocracy is rich..."

glanced enviously at the ruby in Angelina's hand, and the old man flicked his leather whip and drove away.

"Why not..."Angelina, who hadn't dealt much with civilians, was a little confused.

Seeing the old man walking away, she shook her head, so she had to put away the gem and walk towards Jiuguan.

The Nine Levels are the only way to Middle-earth from the eastern part of the Scott Empire, and consists of nine massive levels.

Now, Angelina only needs to go through these nine levels, and then she can send the request for help to several allies in Middle-earth, so as to get their help.

Of course, if she can make it through...

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Next! ”

"You! What for? Deliver goods? Open the carriage... That woman, yes! It's you, get off ......"

"Parking! Stop the car! What the? Aristocrat! It's the nobles who are arrested, take a closer look at this gang! ”

In front of the checkpoint, the soldiers were carefully interrogating the passing personnel and vehicles, and a middle-aged man with a portrait was standing behind the interrogating soldiers, comparing them with the passing women one by one. Even some small nobles who were a little famous were ordered to get out of the car and check them one by one.

Not far away, around the corner, Angelina leaned against the wall, carefully looking at the closely inspected checkpoint, her heart cold.

The royal capital was not far from the Nine Passes, and she thought that she had escaped non-stop, and she should be able to enter Zhongzhou before the news of the imperial capital came.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived here, she saw the closely inspected checkpoint, and she dared to guarantee that the heavy man in his hand must be holding her portrait.

'Do you want to mix in the crowd and give it a try...'

It doesn't work, it's too risky, and there's no room for error. ’

Angelina thought for a moment, then shook her head, rejecting the idea. She pulled out the map and studied it carefully.

'There are no roads in the west and south, and Jiuguan is heavily guarded here, and the risk is too great. It seems that we will have to take a detour from the north...'

Although it was a long way to the north, it was better to be safe, and even if Andrew could seal all the Swa's narrow roads, he would not be able to seal the entire Fiano Mountain. With a little care, she could climb over Mount Fiano and travel to Middle-earth through the Wari Empire.

Angelina, who had made up her mind, picked up the map, and as soon as she turned around, she disappeared into the flow of people who passed by...
