Listening to the footsteps in the hallway, both Fidel and Ayana moved their bodies from the terrace into the room, waiting quietly.

"What are you going to do?" Feder touched a large piece of the curtain, and wiped his wet hair with it.

Ayana listened quietly to the voices of the men outside, and she could hear someone offering to move the Pope and the Second Prince to the lower floors to avoid being troubled by the Assassins. Some of the servants were screaming and fleeing, but none of them entered the room full of books.

"Wait a minute, how are you going to get out?" asked Ayana as she glanced back at Fidel, who was crouching on the ground.

"I was going to turn back the way I came, but now..."

"I know of a path, one level above this one, that leads down a ladder to the bottom of the castle, and along the drain at the bottom, to exit the castle. Ayana placed the quiver on the ground, drained the water from it, and wiped her short wooden bow and arrows with a curtain cloth.

Fed couldn't help but ask, "How do you know about these places?"

"You don't have to ask about this, I'll tell you later," Ayana hung the wooden bow around her waist, then picked up the dagger with one hand and slowly leaned towards the door of the room, "After I go and kill that person, I will find a way to get out by myself, you follow me now, I will take you to that exit and leave quickly!"

Feder followed, leaning against the wall. He didn't say anything, after all, the situation was completely different from what it was just now, and if there were no assassins who came down from the sky and planned to attack the people in the castle, he might be able to kill the guard secretly with Ayana and do it quietly. But now that the guards of the entire castle have moved, if one person sees himself in black armor, he may be able to recognize the chief head of the Church Alliance, and then it will be troublesome. Although Fei De was still a little worried about Ayana, it was better to leave first, and after this stormy night, the entire Holy Light City might be completely different tomorrow morning. The safety of the Pope and the second prince cannot be guaranteed.

Ayana gently pushed open the wooden door and peeked out secretly. Outside, many guards of the Pope's personal guard were coming from the bottom of the castle, and the second prince Amsol did not have many guards, and it was estimated that except for a part of them to protect Amsey, the others had already gone to the upper floor.

As a team of Papal Guards walked by, there was a brief gap in the hallway of the level, and Ayana grabbed Fidel's right hand, pushed open the wooden door, and ran up the stairs. Although Ayana was only fourteen years old, her strength was not small, and Feide, who was already an adult man, was also dragged by the other party and ran straight up the upper floor.

It's just that as soon as they went up, they were discovered by a few papal guards who were walking a little slower.

"There are Assassins here, too!" shouted the three guards when they saw Fid and Ayana.

One of the guards had already swung a knife at Ayana, but as soon as Ayana bent her waist, she dodged the big knife. The long knife instead slashed at Fidel, who didn't see clearly in front of him, and the quagmire enchantment of "Black Flash" immediately took effect, and before the guard could react, the dagger in Ayana's hand had already been inserted into his heart.

Fei De immediately snatched the weapon of the dead guard in front of him and slashed down the other guard beside him. The guard, who was standing a little farther away, was suddenly struck by a short knife from the far side of the aisle, stuck in the back of his head, and fell to the ground and died.

Ayana and Fidel looked ahead and saw that the so-called Assassins who had descended from the sky had already entered this level, and were engaged in a fierce battle with the Pope's personal guard and the prince's bodyguard.

"The fifth room on this side, there is an abandoned chimney in it, and the bottom of the chimney is actually a dark grid, you can open it and climb down!" Ayana pointed to the other road on this level, that corridor was now empty, probably because it was not connected to the upper level.

Fei De understood, and he took the long knife of the guard just now, and took a few steps to that side. When he turned around, he saw that Ayana had approached the direction of the fighting crowd, and Fidel had just seen that the guy who Ayana regarded as an enemy was standing behind those people with a golden shield in his hand, and he looked like he was about to strike.

He didn't think much of it, and soon came to the fifth room that Ayana was referring to. With one hand, he pushed open the unlocked door, which was a room stacked with wood for heating, and a window that looked out of the castle. Fed inspected the abandoned chimney, which had pipes to the outside, but due to some clever processing, not a single drop of water could seep in from the current pouring rain outside. Feder swept away the ashes at the bottom of the chimney with his long knife, and tapped it with the tip of his knife, and it was empty! Beneath the lattice was a dark, bottomless passage, and the iron ladder built into the wall did exist.

Feder tried to get in, and found that the passage was still quite large, but at this moment, Fett's uneasiness in the bottom of his heart suddenly slapped himself in the heart. The guard wrapped his upper body in leather strips gave people a very cold and cruel feeling, and his golden shield was supposed to be an enchanted shield, could Ayana really be able to handle it? This thought immediately captured Fid's heart, he crawled out of the passage under the chimney, and then climbed in again, and after repeating it several times, he decided to go back and check on Ayana's situation, even if he wanted to escape, he could hide here immediately.

And just now, when Fidel found this room, Ayana was already half-crouching, walking forward against the edge of the dark corridor, like a praying mantis watching its prey, and slowly approached the guards who were fighting.

Behind this aisle, the Pope's personal guards were constantly pouring up, most of them armed with short weapons, directly attacking the Assassins who came down from above. The Assassins were all wearing robes and hoods, and from their robes they would fire all sorts of projectile concealments, whether they were crossbow arrows or throwing knives, all of which could be effective in the long corridor terrain.

The captain of the prince's guard, named Chedi, held a golden shield in his hand, blocking many incoming hidden weapons, while he held the most ordinary short-handled sword in his other hand

As soon as a group of guards walked by, Ayana pulled an arrowless arrow from her back and aimed it at the back of Cheddy's neck. With a "whoosh", the arrow flew out of the dark corner, and it was about to hit the enemy seven or eight meters away!

But Chedy's golden shield seemed to come alive, and he "pulled" Cheddy's hand holding the shield and turned back to block the arrows. Chedy immediately looked back at where the arrow had come from, and his feet were already moving in the direction of Ayana.

Ayana bit her lip, she didn't expect the other party to be able to block her arrow, and when she picked up the dagger, the Chedi had already run in front of her, and the blade of the dagger had already slashed at her. AYANA wanted to use the dagger in her hand to block the opponent, but Chedi sank with a strong force, not only knocking AYANA's dagger impact away, but also slashing through AYANA's chest. A bleeding wound appeared in an instant, and Ayana was knocked to the ground and fainted due to the opponent's subsequent shield blow.

The Chedy just glanced at the girl's body and turned away.

At this time, Fei De had already run out and witnessed the moment when Ayana was stunned by the golden shield, but he didn't expect that there was really an accident! Maybe the captain of the guard thought that Ayana was dead, so he turned around and went to fight the other assassins, but when Fei De ran to Ayana's side, he found that she was still breathing!

Fett hugged Ayana, who was wounded in the chest, and ran to the room of the secret passage, he pushed open the door of the utility room, immediately put her on the ground first, and then lit an oil lamp with flint on the wooden table, and began to check the other party's injuries.

During the period of recuperation in the Rock Thieves, Fei De also went from knowing nothing about medical treatment to knowing a little about it, and he was able to simply distinguish the situation of a person's injury, so as to make the most appropriate emergency treatment. And Ayana, who is now unconscious, has a severely bleeding wound on her chest, and the bleeding must be stopped now!

Although Ayana was a girl, Fei De didn't worry too much, and he immediately removed his "black flash" and tore off a large piece of the clothes he was wearing closely, preparing to use it to bandage his wounds. He glanced at Ayana, who was unconscious but was still biting her lip gently with her teeth, and immediately threw away the scruples between men and women, and took off each other's shirts.

The originally embarrassing scene did not appear, but a not shallow sword wound slashed from Ayana's left shoulder to her right chest, and blood continued to ooze from the wound. Fett noticed that the wound on the right side of his chest was particularly deep, and he decided to start the piece of clothing he had torn off from Ayana's back, rolling several layers of her chest to bandage the sword wound, a bit like a female gladiator's chest armor. However, he was going to sterilize it with a fire before bandaging it, when Nangus told him a way to eliminate the infection caused by the iron wound.

Fid picked up a small piece of wood, placed it on the oil lamp, lit it a little, and approached Ayana with it. It can hurt, but if she doesn't, there's a good chance that Ayana will die from the infection. Fei De swept the wound on Ayana's chest with the small wooden strip that burned at one end, and with a "snort", Ayana sweated in pain, but she should not remember it when she was in a coma.

After bandaging the fourteen-year-old, Fidel quietly pushed the door open, took a look outside, and then checked the room again. It's basically impossible to climb down the passage with Ayana now, but there's also no place to hide.

That's when Fidel thought of a risky solution, he picked up Ayana and got into the modified chimney pipe. There happened to be a slightly sloping pipe wall, allowing him to hide in it with Ayana in his arms, half lying down and half standing on the pipe wall. Looking at the chimney from the room, you won't see the two people hiding in the pipes, and you will only find someone here when you get into the chimney. Now we had to wait until Ayana woke up, and begged the guards not to search for them.

Before he could get into the pipe, Fed hung his black plate armor in the ladder under the dark lattice, and re-laid the ashes of the firewood on the partition. Now he is half-naked, hugging Ayana, who is starting to get a little chills, and curling up in the pipe of this chimney as much as possible.

The rain outside was flowing "rattling", but no water flowed into the pipes, which was a very ingenious design by skilled craftsmen. But now Fidel has no time to praise the craftsman, he only hopes that no one will search for them hiding here, or use this chimney to make a fire to keep warm.
