"Why?, your bishop, can just pass through, and I'll have to wait a whole week?" In the hall of lords in Rudaburg, Eve was reasoning with the lord here, Taran Santa. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info however, this Swadian, known as the "Monitor of the Empire", is more like an authentic Nord - arrogant and rude.

"For Lord Hakan saved me and my people from the plague, and he woke me up from the bosom of the goddess Embra by his divine grace. Taran sat in his lord's chair and looked at Eve lazily.

"He's McCann's savior, so he has a permanent right of free passage. With that, he seemed to yawn boredly. "As for you, ma'am, unless you have the King's permission, you will have to stay here for a whole week. As he spoke, he waved his hand impatiently, and several soldiers came up and made a gesture to take Eve down. "Of course, I'll do my best to entertain you with McCann's best food and make your week comfortable. At the end of Taran, he did not forget to add a polite remark, and his arrogance.

Eve glared at him fiercely, and was half-forcibly taken down by the soldiers.

"Are all Santa's people so arrogant? damn it!" said Eve in an airlike manner as soon as she came out. "I guess that's the case, Falst's name can't be useful everywhere. Arthur had a look on his face that he had already guessed, and he didn't know where to find a straw and put it in his mouth.

Eve pulled the straw off his mouth and threw it on the ground. Arthur shrugged helplessly, and then said, "Hey, I said a long time ago, if the Kujit don't retreat for a day, this line of defense separating Nord and Swadia will not open a gap. As for the Hakan, it is somewhat surprising that it can enjoy the right of free passage. ”

"So what now? If we do wait a week, I'm afraid it's already too late. Eve frowned, trying to think of a countermeasure, but since the lord couldn't get through here, she couldn't think of any good way.

"I don't know, I can't help it. Arthur said very decisively. "Maybe we can try to break through by force in the night, your status is noble, even if you fail, they will definitely not do anything to you, at most they will ask the Earl for a ransom. Arthur said heartlessly, and Eve didn't pick up his stubble.

"Or, we can blend in with the caravans that are waiting, some of them must have been waiting for days!" said Eve, thinking that her idea was good and feasible.

"I've already asked, and unfortunately, they're going to have to wait five days at the earliest. But Arthur rejected her proposal in a word, and Eve couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "Do you really have to wait a week?" thought to Eve, a little desperately, that if she really did spend a week here, she would rather try to jump off the wall.

"What are you bothering about, two?" and it was then that the sound of the lute reached their ears, and they turned their heads to see that it was Orlando sitting on his steed, plucking his strings. "Is it because he's struggling to find a quicker way to get through here?" Orlando said confidently, as if it weren't a problem for him.

"I thought you were gone, but you're still there. Arthur looked at Orlando in surprise. "Oh, Mr. Arthur, it makes me sad to say that, how can I watch my friend get into trouble and stay out of it?" Orlando shook his curly hair and put on a savior's face.

Eve jerked the reins, and Orlando nearly fell off his horse. "Stop playing tricks, hurry up and tell me what you can do?" Orlando panicked as he controlled his horse, and it was easy to stabilize himself.

"Don't be in such a hurry, my miss, and by God, you're not a lady at all. Orlando rolled over and dismounted, still basking in the horror of nearly falling off his horse. "I didn't push you down directly, but I was already very kind to you. Arthur said with a grin, Eve didn't have time to talk to him, she stared at Orlando anxiously, just waiting to hear what she could do.

Orlando tidied up his clothes, even though the fancy outfit looked messy from any point to its own eyes. "Well, if I could find a place to have a drink, I think I could speak more fluently. Eve waited for a long time, but Orlando said such a witty remark, and the angry Eve was about to draw her sword.

"I'm just kidding, just kidding, oh, have you always been here like this?" Orlando hurriedly begged for mercy, he was frightened. "I've been used to it for a long time, good luck. Arthur replied, which made Eve a little confused.

"What are you talking about since then?" asked Eve, confused, feeling that the two of them had become a little strange.

"Well, you'll know, let's find a place to have a drink now. Orlando said mysteriously, then looked at Eve with a smile

"Don't worry, Orlando is right, this is not the place to talk. Arthur stopped Eve, who was about to run away, and explained to her.

Seeing that Arthur had suggested this, Eve reluctantly agreed, and set off for the tavern outside the castle.

"Huh~ The winemaking skills of the Nord people are really poor. Orlando said with a big sip of wine in his stomach. "No matter how many times I drink it, I can't stand the taste. Despite that, Orlando didn't stop talking, and after a while, he drank the wine in his glass.

"It's really bad, it tastes so astringent. Eve reluctantly poured a full cup, which made Orlando look a little sideways.

"As a lady, Eve, your boldness is also unique. Orlando said, and as he got acquainted, he realized that the young lady was indeed a unique person, albeit with a bad temper.

"Seriously, what the hell are you going to do to get us through Rudaburg today?" Eve automatically ignored Orlando's slightly provocative words, she didn't know how many times she had heard it since she was a child.

Orlando snatched Arthur's untouched glass, poured another sip, and then said in a suppressed voice, "If you believe me, give me two hundred dinars, and come to the city gate tonight, and then you will know how to get out." ”

"You're going to bribe the guards? I don't think that's a good idea. As soon as Eve heard that she needed a dinar, she immediately thought of bribes, but according to her own observations, even if she bribed the guards, she probably wouldn't be able to get out easily.

"No, no, no, it's not like that. Orlando shook his head, denying Eve's suspicions. "I'll tell you the truth, I've used this method many times, and believe me this time, we'll be there tomorrow morning. Orlando was reluctant to go into too many details, but he was honest.

Eve glanced at Arthur, he nodded, indicating that he believed Orlando, and Eve made up her mind and took out two hundred dinars and gave them to Orlando.

"Very well, remember, keep a low profile, don't be seen, if that's the case, I'm not going to be able to do it. Orlando admonished, and then got up to take his leave, not knowing what to do.

"By the way, when did you get on top of things like this?" asked Eve, taking another glass of ale, taking a sip of it, and suddenly remembering it again.

"It's a secret between men, you don't need to know it. Arthur said with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Soon, the sun sets and it's time to fall asleep. Eve and Arthur had been waiting impatiently, and while the patrolling soldiers were changing shifts, they quickly passed through the buildings and quietly came to the city gates.

"Come here, don't let anyone find out!" Orlando waved at the tower door, and Eve and Arthur immediately walked over, and Orlando led them underground.

"I thought that the underground of every tower was a dungeon. Eve said, feeling strange in her heart, she couldn't figure out what she was doing here. "There may also be secrets hidden that you would never have thought of. Orlando whispered, then handed each of them a strange robe. "Put it on, then follow me, and remember, whatever you see next, don't speak, just leave it to me. Orlando repeatedly instructed, and Eve and Arthur nodded solemnly, and now there was no reason not to trust him.

They walked around the stairs to the lower level, which was indeed a dungeon, but Orlando did not stop, he walked through the dungeon and went to the other side, where there was another staircase, and Orlando led them to the lower level.

After going down a few floors, Orlando stopped in front of a wall and knocked lightly a few times. After a while, an old voice came from behind the wall: "Who rang the death knell?"

"We all need to serve. Orlando replied expertly, like some kind of code.

After a brief silence, the wall caved inward, revealing a passage where stood an old man, dressed in the same robes as they had touched.

Orlando stepped forward and quietly handed him a dinar bag, and the old man weighed it a few more times and nodded slightly. "Come with me, keep awe in your heart, and don't look around. Orlando nodded in understanding, and then took Eve and Arthur and followed the old man into the tunnel.

Eve tried to open her mouth several times to ask, but in the end she held back, she quietly glanced at Arthur, and found that he was also surprised, and her heart was somewhat balanced.

"We can only lead you here, and may my Lord bless you for the rest of the way. The old man handed Orlando the lantern in his hand, and left.

After the old man had walked away, Eve finally couldn't help but ask, "What is the situation, why is there such a secret passage under the castle?"

Orlando didn't answer her, just raised his finger to signal her to be quiet, and then explained in a low voice: "I'll explain when I get out, you have to follow me the next way, if you get lost here, I can't save you." ”
