"It's 11:47, so we're only thirteen minutes, right?" Wolf Fang immediately found the key, "Hurry up, we need to be outside the castle in ten minutes." ”

The wolf tooth dragged me and hugged me as he spoke, and he hugged me smoothly, and after a few times, I also watermelon you, and I was no longer as embarrassed as before. After picking me up, the wolffang ran out of the door without a pause, and when he opened the door, I remembered the question of whether it would cause any unnecessary trouble to be seen by the chamberlain door of the castle, with the honor I and he had now

However, it turned out that I was overthinking, and when we came out of the dressing room, we found that the castle was empty, and the servants who had been walking around the castle before did not know where they had gone, and if it weren't for the fact that it was everywhere brightly lit, clean and tidy, I would have even wondered if I had arrived in a haunted house.

"Where have all the servants gone?" I looked around and asked suspiciously, although the surroundings were still gorgeous and exquisite, and had nothing to do with the eerie horror, but the lack of voices still made me feel inexplicably nervous.

"Let's go, everyone gathers outside the castle, it seems that some ceremony is about to take place."

As he spoke, Wolf Fang carried me and ran quickly in one direction, I looked up at his serious expression, and couldn't help but ask, "I remember, you haven't been to the girls' locker room before, have you?" How do you know the way? ”

"It's not too far from outside, I can hear voices coming from there." The wolffang replied to me, but his steps were not slow at all, but I did not expect that someone appeared around the next corner.

After a turn, a man appeared in front of me that I had not expected at all, but the wolffang seemed to have sensed the man's presence, and stopped abruptly as he turned the corner, and the hand holding me also tightened violently to prevent me from being thrown out by inertia. However, this sudden stop startled me, and I subconsciously hugged the wolf's neck, and only when I was sure that he had heard it, did I take a closer look at the situation in shock.

I've seen the person standing in our way—the old woman who led us girls to change their clothes and combed our girls' hair.

"Are you trying to stop us?" Wolf Fang was the first to speak, in a cold, threatening tone, "I don't think you can stop us. ”

I turned my eyes to look at the old woman, she really looked like an ordinary old woman, not at all like any force value, such an ordinary old woman, I don't think she had any chance of winning against the attack of the wolf's fangs.

"Oh, relax, relax, my child." However, the old woman did not seem to be frightened by the wolf's words, but only smiled slightly, and spoke in a calm and calm tone like a kind elder speaking to a junior, "I don't want to stop you from anything, I just want to say a word to the little girl." ”

"What?" I hesitated a little, but asked, my instincts telling me that the old woman had no ill intentions, and that under the protection of the wolf's fangs, I felt that I was willing to trust my instincts.

"Do you know what that little flower I put on you is?" The old woman smiled and pointed up at the little white flower she had pinned for me on my head.

I subconsciously raised my hand and touched the small flower stuck in the edge of my bun, it stands to reason that I should have taken it off my head as soon as possible. But at this time, my heart was telling me to believe in this old woman in front of me, and to believe that she would help us instead of persecuting her.

So my fingertips circled the little white flower, hesitated for a moment, but put down my hand, did not take it off, but looked at the old woman and asked, "I don't know it, what kind of flower is this?" ”

It seemed that my failure to take it off pleased the old woman, who smiled kindly and said, "That's Edelweiss, my child." ”

"Edelweiss?" I frowned in confusion, the one in The Sound of Music? "But what good is it to me to know what kind of flower it is?"

"Edelweiss is a symbol of luck." The old woman smiled meaningfully, but I was confused by the laughter, probably because I was puzzled to please her, and she smiled again and said, "People sometimes need a little luck, such as when facing some attack magic, luck will add a protection for you. ”

I was about to ask again, but Wolf Fang suddenly interjected, "Hurry up, we're running out of time." ”

I reacted and hurriedly opened Yu Pu's pocket watch in my hand, and it was already 11:55. Before I could say anything, the old woman in front of me spoke again

"Oh, time is running out, go on boys, and one last word of war, your enemy is only one."

The old woman retreated to the sides of the passage and made way for the road ahead, and before I could ask what she meant, the wolffang was already running forward again.

"Hey! Do you understand what the old woman just said? Taking advantage of the wolf's fangs moving out of the castle, I asked.

Wolf Fang glanced down at me, looked ahead and thought for a few seconds before answering me, "Probably you triggered some special mission, that white flower is a mission prop, I heard that old woman mean that it can resist attacks from magic, and only one enemy should confirm our previous guess, except for the prince, earthlings can rebel!" ”

Since we had speculations about plotting against other earthlings before, and it was only confirmed at this time, my audience's focus was more on the unexpected joy of getting special items, "What does it mean to defend against attacks?" Does that mean that with this flower, I won't be harmed? So what's going on with my feet? ”

"It's not that you won't be harmed, it's that you won't be harmed by magic, if my understanding is correct." Wolffang said in a deep voice, and I thought along with his words, "If we divide the attacks here into two categories, one is the magic attack, which your flower can resist, or something similar to the witch's poisonous apple that tempted the mind before, and the other is the powerless attack, which is what the prince did to you, or similar to what the man-eating flower summoned by the witch did to us. ”

"So, only I can resist the magic that acts directly on me, and the physical attack transformed by the magic attack, this flower can't resist it?" I frowned, "This is a bit of a chicken rib, doesn't seem to have much effect?" ”

"No, it works a lot, it just depends on what form it works." Wolf Fang continued, "At least the physical attack is the rules we are familiar with and we don't know how to dodge and counterattack, and the magic attack is the attack method that we don't know at all, and being able to defend against this is the most important thing. ”

"And the way to resist magic, if it can only protect the wearer, then at least you are safe, if it is in the form of a protective shield, if used properly, it may help all of us resist the attack of magic."

Under the explanation of the wolf's fang, I finally understood what the real function of this little white flower was, but didn't this special prop need to be triggered by something? Why did it just run on my head instead of Fang Ruoxi and the three of them? Is it because I rejected the jewelry?

"We've arrived, it looks like it's still too late, what time is it?"

The wolf's words woke me up from my contemplation, and I was stunned for a moment before I reacted and looked at the pocket watch in my hand, "It's 11:57." ”

At this point, I didn't need the keen and powerful sense of hearing like the wolf's fang, and I could hear what was going on outside the castle, and it seemed that there was indeed some ritual going on, and it was obviously a peaceful and joyful scene. If we have not misunderstood what the old woman meant, then I have reason to believe that this peaceful joy was based on the prince's deception of the people.

"Let me down, I think my feet are better, it's too eye-catching to go out like this." I grabbed the wolf's arm and motioned for him to let me go, "Well, although we're probably eye-catching now. ”

After all, we—and especially me—had slipped down the passages, rolled in the chambers, and we didn't have time to change our clothes or anything, and now neither my skirt nor the knight's suit of the wolf's fangs were covered in dust and wrinkles from tumbling, and of course it wasn't neat and decent.

Wolf Fang looked at me, didn't say anything, and carefully lowered me. With his support, I tried to get my injured left foot to the ground, thanks to the self-healing function in the room! Although it was not enough for me to fully recover, my left foot was not as serious as before, at least I could touch the ground slightly, and I could do it with a slight borrowing.

"Are you alright?" Wolffang looked at me and frowned and asked, only to let go of the hand that was supporting me after receiving my affirmative answer, but still stretched out a hand around my waist to prevent me from falling.

Although I felt a little embarrassed, I did not refuse for my personal safety, and with the help of the wolf's fangs, we walked out of the castle.

The two soldiers guarding the door to the ball were also gone, looking at the crowd of cheers outside, not only the nobles who attended the ball, but also the maids, attendants, and guards who had seen before, it seemed that this was a grand ceremony that everyone would attend.

I walked out of the castle again, supported by the wolf's fangs, and walked down the gravel path to the cheering crowd - and then another tough battle.
