19 Eyes

"It's ...... Where does it lead? The viscount asked his father, who had seen the hole for the first time.

"To the north, the exit is in the direction of the snowy mountains, and it should be outside the encirclement of the Praetorian Guard." Count Lee replied, "This was used by a prisoner who was imprisoned when he escaped from prison before, and I don't know how much time he spent digging it." ”

"It's nice that it's not blocked!" It was Parrett who said this, he was a little excited, and seemed to see hope, but soon he frowned again, "This, this is not enough for everyone to escape?" "It had long been known that it was impossible for so many people to pass through this hole, and Parrett only played the role of a microphone.

"I'll give it a try." Melo crawled down at the mouth of the cave and got in. Milo felt the endless darkness and oppressive space envelop him in an instant, he could only curl up his arms, barely relying on the squirming of his elbows and knees to move, and it was fatal that he couldn't turn around at all in the dark tunnel, and he immediately called out to the people outside to pull him out. When everyone saw Milo's embarrassment, they naturally understood that it was impossible to evacuate the civilians in the town by relying on this tunnel.

Charlie's mind was much clearer than before, and he asked the Earl sharply: "This cave can't evacuate so many people, you must have other plans, right?" ”

The Count took out a thing and showed it to everyone: it was a unique stone, only half of the Count's palm, in the shape of an octahedron, with a black surface, polished and smooth, and the six vertices had been rounded, and some words were engraved on each face. Charlie, Milo, and Parrett looked closely, the words on it they had never seen before, and the night sparrow next to them promptly explained: "This is the Spell Stone, a magic prop created by a high-level magician. ”

"I've heard of it, but what's the use of it?" Parrett asked, confused.

Nightfinch took the spell stone from the Count's hand and pointed to the words on it and said, "These words are spells from the Saknusem Manuscript for magicians, and magicians can condense the spells they want to cast into such stones in a special way, which can be given to those who do not know magic. ”

"That means," Milo was intrigued, "that a person like me, who doesn't know how to do magic, can cast magic with this stone?" Nightsparrow nodded, "Yes, as long as you use it correctly, but each spell stone is used differently. This spell stone ...... I'm sorry, but I don't know what kind of magic it is in, even though I can read the text on it. ”

"Aren't you all magicians? Why don't you know what's recorded in it? And how do you use this thing? "This time it was the Viscount, who was already a little impatient, anxious to know how to save the town.

Nightfinch did not answer, but gave the spell stone to her husband. The Snow Dog looked at it, shook his head in frustration, and handed it back to his wife. "He doesn't know what it's about either, because every magician cracks magic spells from the Saknusham Manuscript, and we don't necessarily know who they crack spells, and vice versa, some magic spells are made public when they are cracked, and everyone can learn them, but this ...... There's really nothing we can do about it. As for how to use it, the Earl should know. Nightfinch's words brought a new dawn, and everyone looked at the Count.

The Earl took the spell stone, as if recalling a long time ago, and said leisurely: "More than fifty years ago, when I was a child, it was my grandfather who was in charge of this territory, and that year it was just in time for a group of pirates to land in the south, there were thousands of them, and they planned to rob this place, of course we were no opponents. Fortunately, there was a magician sister at that time...... everyone's eyebrows were raised in unison, and the earl ignored everyone's surprise, and continued: "This magician's sister is temporarily living in the town, and when she saw that we were in danger, she took the initiative to teach the pirate gang of thousands of people with magic, and burned their ship...... Everyone was amazed, they couldn't understand this person's thousands, even magicians were difficult to do, unless they were magicians of a very high level. The Earl still ignored everyone's astonishment: "Later, the magician's sister said that she was going to live in seclusion in the snow-capped mountains to the north, and she was afraid that we would be in danger again, so she gave us this stone. The method used is placed at the foot of the mountain to the north...... ...... on the Ryx altar"

The viscount suddenly interjected: "Where do we hunt saber-toothed tigers? The Count nodded, and continued, "Put the stone on the Ryx altar, and the Wizard Sister will know that we need help, and she will come to our aid." Alas, I was helped by her back then, and now I still have to rely on her......" The Count suddenly sighed, but the people around him were incredible.

It was Parrett who was the first to express everyone's doubts: "Wait a minute, Earl, if you call her 'sister', is she still alive now?" Can she really help us? It's a bit rude, but it's really interesting to know the answers to these two questions. The Earl was silent for a moment, and said, "When you see her, you will understand, and I believe that as long as she comes, we will be able to break the siege." ”

With the Earl's assurance, everyone felt that this method was worth trying, and the Viscount also let the Night Sparrow and the Snow Dog escape from the tunnel on the spot, and according to the Earl's words, they went to find a magician who could save everyone, but the Snow Dog shook his head again and again, and the Night Sparrow said in embarrassment: "Just last month, we went to the Altar of Rex, but unfortunately there are djinn haunts there, even if there is no djinn, there is a high probability of encountering the saber-toothed tiger, and the two of us can't cope with it alone." Can you find two more people to work with, so it's safer. "The Viscount understands that Nightfinch's concerns are very reasonable, and it is necessary to arrange more than two for the sake of insurance.

Parrett offered to take on this task, and the Viscount thought he was indeed a good fit, and had seen his prowess in the defensive battles. Parrett also tried to see if he could climb into the tunnel, and it turned out that he had no problem getting into the tunnel with his relatively tall stature. So, everyone's eyes fell on Charlie and Milo. Charlie's current condition is not good, everyone can see it, and he is the commander-in-chief of the army in the town, he will have a good coordination role if he stays, and it will be convenient for him to communicate in case the Praetorian Guard has something to do. "That's you, brother!" Parrett said, his voice echoing through the basement, very loud, "Come with us!" You deal with the djinn, no problem. He had more or less heard Milo's story, and there was a hint of admiration in his words.

However, Milo had not spoken since the night sparrow had explained the difficulty, and his eyes had avoided meeting anyone, and he had a nonchalant look. And now, this carelessness has turned into resistance in the eyes of everyone. It was Parrett who spoke: "Then if he wants to, let other soldiers or ......" Viscount interrupted him: "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, if the civilians are informed of their current situation, no one can be as calm as we are, and there will be even more chaos." Parrett nodded, feeling that she was inconsiderate, and looked apologetic.

Night Sparrow hurriedly said: "Captain Milo, I think if you can join, it will be very smooth, we appreciate your combat effectiveness very much, and hope to ......" Seeing that Milo still didn't want to say anything, her words could only stop abruptly.

The Earl and the Viscount understood what Milo was thinking, so the Count said to the people: "The plan is here, Captain Charlie Hamp, thank you very much for your protection and support of our territory, we will not forget your kindness to us, you have not slept all night, we have prepared a comfortable room for you on the second floor, please rest well." Parrett Chevalier, the best soldier of Obe we have ever met, and we will not forget what you have done for this territory and its people, and please rest and prepare for your departure. Charlie and Parrett left the underground fortifications in the earl's praise and rested separately, and Parrett patted Milo on the shoulder before leaving, and said with a smile: "Brother, I am waiting for you!" He smiled so freely that it made Milo's heart a little furious. The viscount said to the two magicians, "You two go up with me first, and make some preparations." The three of them also went up, and only the Earl and Melo were left in the underground fortifications.

"Milo," said the Earl earnestly, "I know that you are reluctant to leave at this time, and that you do not worry about her. You two are finally reunited in the midst of the catastrophe, but now you're catching up with it......" He sighed as he spoke, complaining about the injustice of fate to people. Footsteps were heard at the staircase - the Viscount had come down with Heidi. The maiden walked briskly between the Count and Milo, saluted the Count gently, and then took Milo's hand, and smiled brightly at the Earl, as if to say, "I have come to persuade him." The Count understood what the maiden meant, and went up with his son, and in the meantime Melo kept his eyes on the ground without saying a word.

When the Earl and his son went up, Milo gently hugged Heidi, but he still didn't say anything. Heidi put her arms around him, smiling, and not making a sound. After a long silence, Heidi gently held Milo's head and looked at him with a mischievous look, still smiling brightly. Milo understands that there is optimism, strength in this look and smile, and a special meaning for Milo - don't run away. Two people with good hearts don't need words to understand each other's meanings for a long time. Melo smiled bitterly, and Heidi narrowed her eyes and smiled - Melo reluctantly conceded defeat, he was defeated by the girl's eyes. He finally decides to go to the Ryx Altar with Night Sparrow, Snow Dog, and Parrett.

Parrett's enthusiasm, the count's sincerity, the nightsparrow's expectation, and the big picture of the crowd...... None of this impressed Milo's determination, his determination to defend the maiden.

And Heidi did it with just one look.

Charlie was overjoyed to learn that Milo had changed his mind and reached out to him with many words of thanks. Mello also said a few polite words, and he obviously did not miss Charlie's thanks, which made Charlie feel very embarrassed.

But Charlie politely saluted Milo as a sign of respect, saying the greeting that was common among Imperial soldiers: "Glory to ......"

"Glorious ghost." Melo coldly brushed off the response.
