Chapter 346: Nose Luo
From the nautical?
This Shao Xuan couldn't imagine that unless the slave owners were all mermaids, but this seemed impossible, living in the desert for so many years, how could it be a sea creature? Even evolution takes a process.
After hearing the blind old slave's answer, Shao Xuan's first reaction was not to believe it, and the second reaction was still not to believe it!
But the other party's face was serious, which made Shao Xuan helpless.
"What does it mean to be from the sea?" asked Shao Xuan.
The blind old slave shook his head, "I don't know, but I've heard some people say before that the slave owners are from there. ”
Shao Xuan was still suspicious of this, and after thinking about it, he asked the old slave for the map of the desert. The map that Su Gu showed Shao Xuan was not comprehensive, Shao Xuan hoped to be able to see a more complete map here, after all, it was one of the three major cities, and it couldn't even be a map of all points, right?
The old slave didn't know much about maps, he was blind in his early years, and many of the things he memorized were memorized only after listening to others read them, and drawings and the like were more difficult.
Although he didn't remember, the old slave knew the approximate location of the map, walked to the side of the stone shelf, raised his hand and drew a range, "It should be in this area, you can find it." The eye could not see, and he could clearly remember which piece of the paper contained which kind of note.
Shao Xuan rummaged through it carefully, and finally pulled out a few animal skin scrolls that looked like maps.
"This hasn't been touched for years, be careful. The old slave said.
It is true that the age is long enough, even if the animal skin has been carefully protected in the early stage, and there are usually people to take care of it, but the quality of the animal skin is not very good, and it is easy to be damaged if it is neglected.
The maps drawn on the skin scrolls are sketchy and not well proportioned. Only the approximate location of the desert cities and some important places are marked, and some of the dark ones on the side should be the sea.
Shao Xuan wrote down all this, and then put the map back in.
After flipping through some more notes, Shao Xuan stopped.
The blind old slave held some notes and put them in a sunny place to dry them to prevent insect erosion or mildew. Although he couldn't see it, it wasn't difficult to do such a thing for a long time, and he could still feel where the sun was.
"If you don't have anything else to do, get out of here. The old slave said.
"Hmm. "Shao Xuan doesn't plan to stay for a long time, there have been a lot of things in Snow City recently, and there will be changes later, Shao Xuan plans to leave later.
"Don't wait until sunset, after sunset the palace will be more heavily guarded than during the day. The blind old slave said.
Shao Xuan's complexion changed. He really planned to wait for sunset to act, but he didn't expect this to happen in the palace of Snow Plains City, could it be that the Snow King is often assassinated at night, so he strengthens the defense at night?
No wonder the man and woman from before came out to fool around during the day, not at night.
"Good. Shao Xuan thanked the old slave and watched the old slave carefully move those handmarks of different materials.
Listening to the tone of this old man's voice before, I could hear that he did not have a good opinion of the slave owners, and even admired those historical betrayers. But for the notes left by these former slave owners. But I cherish it very much. Thinking of this person's talent for endorsement, if it is in a more advanced era of peace. Maybe it's a talented person who is engaged in learning.
It's a pity.
"How did you lose your eyesight?" After Shao Xuan asked this sentence, he felt that it was very impolite to ask this question, just like revealing a person's scar.
Seeing that the old slave was silent, Shao Xuan planned to change the topic, but he heard the old slave say in a calm tone: "When I was very young, I became a slave of the previous Snow King with others. Once I glanced at the notes on his hand, and the king was in a bad mood and angry, and I accepted the punishment. ”
The old slave remembered that when the king stabbed him in both eyes. He threw him to the side of the stone chamber and said, "Don't you like to see it, then see enough here!"
The blind slave could not see the handwritings, but he begged others to read them to him, and wrote down all the notes he had heard, and memorized them every day when he had nothing to do.
Shao Xuan sighed again when he heard this: It's a pity.
Before leaving, Shao Xuan still planned to leave some herbs, there were no ones to strengthen his body, but there were still some left.
The old slave refused.
"You need it more. The old slave said.
"You ......" Shao Xuan looked at the sick old man, if he continued like this, not to mention the pain caused by the injury, he would not be able to last long.
"Time is running out anyway. The old slave saw it and waved his hand, "Let's go." By the way, you have to be careful with your nose. ”
"What is Nasara?" asked Shao Xuan.
"It's a kind of desert beast domesticated in Snow Plains City, it's not big, it hides in the palace on weekdays, its sense of smell is very keen, if you don't target it, it's enough, if you are targeted by them, you can rarely escape. The old slave said.
"I haven't encountered it since I infiltrated the palace. Shao Xuan said.
The old slave didn't know anything about this, after all, his scope of activity was limited to the area around the stone chamber where the notes were placed, and everything else was told by others.
"Probably all of them were left near the king's bedchamber. "But you'd better be careful." ”
"Well, I know, don't worry. Shao Xuan thanked him again, and then left the stone room.
After Shao Xuan left, the old slave sat there quietly, although he couldn't see it, he could feel the direction of the window, and at this time, he kept staring out of the window.
His family has been a slave for generations, and his ancestors have also been the king's guards, until his generation, but he was sent here early to guard this small stone room. He remembered an old man who used to read his notes to him a lot, and before he died, he told him that one day, the current system would be replaced by another system.
During this time, he couldn't go out, but he could feel the changes in the palace of Snow Plains City, and he could infer a lot of things based on other people's conversations, and he also had an intuition that Snow Plains City was in danger!
What he said to Shao Xuan just now that "time is running out" is not only talking about himself, but also alluding to Snow City.
While the old slave was pondering, on the other side, Shao Xuan, who had left the stone room, quietly looked around, there were not many people around, probably because there were no slave owners living nearby, so except for some guards who were routinely patrolling, he didn't see anyone else.
Shao Xuan entered through the main entrance of the palace, and where he left, he planned to run through the back door or other side doors.
The palace is surrounded by high and thick walls, and there are people guarding it inside and out, and Shao Xuan can't easily turn it out, so he can only look at other side doors.
was sneaking around, Shao Xuan suddenly had a sense of crisis of being watched.
Exposed?!
A quick look around, fixed in one place.
There was a tree there, and on one of its branches hung an oval-shaped thing not much bigger than a fist. At this time, the oval on the branch is stretching, the rolled body is elongated, and the contracted wings are spreading. The nose, which was almost as long as the rest of his body and rolled up behind his back, unfolded and elongated, pointed directly at the direction where Shao Xuan was.
Nose Luo!
Shao Xuan thought of the creatures that the blind old slave had said.
"If you don't target them, you can rarely escape. This is what the old slave said about the nose.
The secret path is bad, Shao Xuan didn't waste any more time, and ran away.
He wanted to slaughter that nose luo first, but he had already noticed that there were other similar sights around, indicating that there were not a few hidden nose rows in this vicinity, and they all focused on him!
The nose in the palace was not all guarded around the king's bedroom, and some of them found a quieter place to sleep with fewer people, but they didn't think about it, they ran into Shao Xuan, and they also recognized that Shao Xuan was not from this city.
Beep –
A high-pitched, whistle-like sound emanates from the long nose of the nasal robe.
This was like a signal, and the other nasal circles around him also made sounds one after another, flying in the direction of Shao Xuan's escape.
When the surrounding guards heard the noise, they all gathered to the place where Naluo was, shouting, "Someone has invaded!"
However, Shao Xuan's speed was also fast, he already knew where the nearest door was, and went straight to that side.
There were no other slave owners living in the area, and several giant beasts raised by the king and the young masters were also kept around it.
At this time, a young master of the snow field was watching the slaves help him train the giant beast, and when he heard that someone had invaded, it seemed that there was only one person who had invaded, and he immediately had a chance to make meritorious contributions!
"Let's go, get the intruder!"
The other slaves who followed were bitter in their hearts, catching the intruders was the matter of the guards, what are you going to mix with a young master! But when the master passed, they slaves could not stand idly by, they could only grit their teeth and follow.
Shao Xuan was like a sharp knife, splitting the encirclement in front of him, listening to the movement behind him, he caught a glimpse of a large stone nearly one person high next to him, and the words "Beast Park" were engraved on it.
Shao Xuan didn't care if it was a beast garden or a human garden, picked up the nearly human-high stone with both hands, turned around and threw it out!
Because the young master chased after the giant beast, some guards didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being accidentally injured by the giant beast. The rampaging giant beast roared, as if it was about to step on all the qiē, but before it could scream, a stone was thrown head-on, and the nose was smashed hard, and suddenly the nose bleeded, and the steps were a little staggering, and the feet were tripped by something, and the two front legs knelt down heavily, and the body that rushed forward continued, crashing into a row of rooms.
Boom boom!
The house here was not the reinforced walls of the Colosseum, but it collapsed in an instant under the violent impact of the giant beast.
The other slaves who saw this scene were full of disbelief, and they actually ...... I even threw such a big stone as a ball!
Although there are many powerful people among the slaves, they are not so exaggerated, compared to the man who smashed the giant beast with a stone just now, it is still a cut off.
The young slave owner who fell from the beast did not care about his injuries, and cried out, "Tie that man up to me, I want him to be my slave!"
There were a lot of arrows shot around and guards coming around, but Shao Xuan's fast speed, coupled with the chaos just now, was already close to the back door of the palace before the guards from other places came. (To be continued......)
