Chapter 15: Fog Star is arrested
It was a long night's sleep, although it shook so hard that it woke them all up. The two of them vaguely heard the sound of someone gasping outside, and the impatient shouting of two other people.
"Why is it so heavy? Did the Gaxing make a mistake and put the gold in? β
"Maybe it's some broken stone." The other complained unceremoniously.
"You're a stone?" Luer said secretly in her heart.
I felt a shock at the bottom, as if it had been placed somewhere. The voices of the men slowly faded away, and then silence followed.
Ilul and Katie straightened up in the darkness for a few moments before they lifted a slit in the lid on the top and looked out.
"No one anymore." Ilul poked her head out of the box first. Then there's Katie, but there's something extra on her hand.
"Katie, what are you doing with a big clock?"
"Don't you think this is beautiful?" Katie admired it for a while, and said unconvinced: "It's not fair, these merchants sell such beautiful crafts to Fog Star, which is even more beautiful than the one in my brother's office." I'm going to ask someone to send me one next time. β
"Alright," Lull smiled, "don't waste time. You've been to the Fog Star Palace with your brother before, so take me somewhere quickly. β
"Where to go? Is it an information storage center? Katie grimaced: "It's very well guarded there." β
"No, I'm going to the Royal Mausoleum."
"Huh?! You're really good at coming up with ideas. Katie's head drooped, "It's not good to go somewhere, I'm going to the cemetery." The last time I came with Kechana, I passed by the door and didn't go in, and it was eerie. β
β»β»β»
Ilul and Katie sneak up to the walls of the Imperial Mausoleum dressed as maids. Katie was a hundred reluctant to go to the cemetery, but Ilul's plan was right. Willisar was born into a direct line of the Misty Star Viess family. According to the practice of the Fog Star that she knew, as long as she had royal blood, no matter what mistakes she made during her lifetime, she could be buried in the royal mausoleum after death. Even if a guest dies in a foreign land, he will leave a tombstone to tell the important events of his life. Naturally, it is much easier and safer to go to the cemetery than to infiltrate a heavily guarded information center.
"Nobody," said Ilul, looking around and pointing to the wall, "let's climb over it." You can wait here. β
The well-trained Ilul climbed over the wall like a light smoke, and Katie gritted her teeth and did the same, but she tripped at the base of the wall and looked like she was about to fall.
"Ahh
"Be careful, if you scream, we're going to be discovered."
Katie stuck out her tongue, looked around, and exclaimed, "What a magnificent cemetery!" β
Luer looked up and saw the solemn and brilliant tombstones in the shade of flowers and plants, bathed in the morning light, which looked even more solemn. The orderly arrangement of the stele forest seems to be out of sight.
"So many, how to find it." Katie has a bitter gourd face.
"Vilisar's status is relatively high, we may find it faster from the place near the emperor's tomb in the center."
They walked through the dew-soaked pathways, looking for the emblem of the Carlo family, to which VΓ©lisal belonged.
"The Deepe family, Brother Kohiβ" Lull was reading when she suddenly saw something bright in the distance flicker.
Katie also saw it and nervously asked, "No... It can't be a ghost, right? β
"Don't talk nonsense," Ilul also beat a drum in his heart, "go over and see what it is?" β
The two crept in a suspicious direction, and through the shadows of the trees, they finally saw that it was not a ghost, but a foggy star who was paying tribute. Under the pitch-black trench coat, Na Ying's tall figure showed a good domineering spirit in every move. There was a line of guards standing beside him, all with cold expressions. What's even strange is that the tombstone he was memorializing didn't have any words except for the symbol of the Fog Star Imperial Family.
"Let's go before he notices," Katie was a little scared, "or it will be too late." β
Yiluer didn't move, she carefully observed these people: "You see, he is sacrificing the emperor's tomb, and he must be a high-status royal family. β
As he was talking, the man suddenly turned his face sideways from the back, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately fell down, but fortunately they were not discovered.
"Oh my God!" Katie had a surprised expression on her face, and hurriedly said a long sentence to Luer with her lips, Luer didn't understand it for a while, and looked carefully at Katie and "said" it again, and couldn't help crying and laughing. It turned out that what Katie said was: "How so? Wuxing also has such a good-looking handsome guy, he can compare with my brother. β
It can't be compared to Kechana, but it's really a pretty typical fog star man. The bridge of the nose is high, and the aqua blue eyes shine with a terrifying light. The handsome face had a cold arrogance, and the figure was much taller than the tall Kechana. He turned around again, grabbed a furry object from the ground, and before they could see it, they felt a flash of white light in front of them, accompanied by a series of uninterrupted gloomy roars, and a stream of brown viscous liquid splashed in all directions.
Katie turned her face disgustedly and continued to lip out to Lull, "That's Mino of the Fog Star, a murderous animal. The Mist likes to hunt it with the most primitive tool, the knife, to prove their bravery, but there are many people who die in Mino's mouth. β
"Is he in a blood sacrifice?" Ilul heard that this was the most devout way for the Mist people to worship their ancestors.
"Well, I think so."
Katie and Lule had never seen such a brutal picture, and in Gaxing, unless there is an animal epidemic that threatens humans, the killing of wild animals is definitely punishable severely.
"It's just barbaric!" Katie looked disdainful.
"Let's go." Ilul couldn't stand it anymore.
Just then, another beast roared, and a Minow, with a knife stuck in his neck, used all his strength to break free from the bloodthirsty demon. The two guards couldn't dodge and were hit one after another and bounced into the big tree behind them. The bestial-haired Mino swooped in and out of the bushes a few meters away where Iluel and Katie were hiding!
"Ahh Katie screamed in fright, saying that it was too late, that was too soon. Lull subconsciously pushed Katie to the right, and seeing that Mino was about to bump into Ilul, a flash of knife flashed, and the poor beast flipped over, with a desperate moan, and fell to Luer's feet not far away, never to get up again. A sharp, sharp knife sank into the back of its head with unmistakable accuracy.
The beast is finished, but so is Ilul and Katie's troubles. Several guards had surrounded the two frightened girls. Everyone looked at them coldly with hostility, and Lul began to feel his scalp tingle.
"Who are you! What are you doing here?" An adjutant-like man snapped, "Hold them all up!"
"Let go of me... We're just curious. Katie said timidly, and the soldiers behind her numbed her arm.
"Let me see, what girl would be curious about the cemetery." The man who had just paid his respects approached Katie, and his cold eyes were playful, looking at the delicate Katie.
Ilul quickly distracted him: "I brought her to play." β
He turned his face and stared at Lu'er, "Is she your sister?" β
"Well, we're the maids cleaning the front hall." Although Lu'er was so nervous that his hands and feet were cold, he still pretended to be fine: "We heard that there is a very strange and beautiful flower called 'Zhilan' in the cemetery, we wanted to pick some to see, but we accidentally broke into here. β
"Really?" He forced his gaze at Luer, his handsome face with an unfathomable smile. His gaze seemed to penetrate her mind.
"What's your name?" His piercing gaze swirled over Lul.
"My name is Lul and my sister's name is Sadie." Luer lowered his eyes, his voice trembling slightly.
"Lift my head up." He commanded.
Ilul looked up reluctantly, her heart pounding like a drum. God, don't let him find out they're Gaxings.
He looked at Luer carefully, and suddenly his face changed. "So you ......"
Oops! was discovered, Lul wailed inwardly.
