Chapter 106: Escape from Salenbourg

If Rhodes had heard what they were talking about, his eyes would have widened and he would have angrily asked why he had assassinated King Antelli. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Dieter is more concerned about his own responsibility: "There is another question, someone poisoned the person I protected at the banquet, did you do it?"

"Impossible, we only have a few months to prepare for the assassination mission, if we can place people in the Antelli palace in such a short time, we will directly poison Elite, where is the need to send people to participate in the martial arts competition and then bring people in to assassinate with weapons?"

......

Indeed, who poisoned Rhodes, or was it just a prank? Dieter thought for a moment, and finally could only turn his suspicions to the son of Duke Tully, who could poison banquets abroad, and it was not the core of the kingdom's upper echelons. Could it be to wash away the shame of the previous tournament, this crazy boy actually wanted to poison and kill Rod, but was fortunately disturbed by the king's assassination?

Dieter didn't quite believe that little Tully, as the Duke's son, would dare to mess around at such a formal banquet, but it was not the time to think about it: "Now there is something to do." I want to send the protectors out of the city, and you try to get the news back to the empire for me. ”

"We were instructed to disconnect from all contact with other people as soon as we completed our respective tasks, and now we can't get in touch even if we want to. ”

"If you can't get in touch, find a way! You either want to send the news back to the Empire for me to inform the Duke of Foster, or cover my protector out of the city tonight, choose one?"

......

The three people hiding here were naturally not happy, but after further communication, Dieter suppressed them with their ranks, so, after some deliberation, the three spies who had completed the mission had to pack up their things and leave the small courtyard, and began to carry out the task of delivering the message non-stop.

The rest didn't linger either, and the dozen or so of them weren't like a trio of spies who could pretend to be the residents who lived here. If a sergeant came to search, the crowd would immediately be exposed, and they would have to leave Sardenberg overnight.

***

Sylna walked into the room with a bunch of things and placed them on the table: "Xiao Luo, sit down, I'll put on your makeup, Dieter decided to send you out of the city immediately, but you have to pretend to be someone else first." ”

"I didn't do it, just run, and pretend to be someone else?"

"Don't be willful, this is Dieter's arrangement. The female swordsman couldn't help but break up and grabbed the boy and pressed him to the stool, "It's more important to live than anything else, be obedient." ”

After sitting for a while, she clapped her hands and put on a wig and a hooded cloak for the boy. Covering his head and looking in the mirror again, Rod was startled: Roy!

In less than a second, he reacted: the beautiful girl wearing a hood and looking like his sister in the mirror was actually himself!

No wonder I always hear people say that I look exactly the same as Roy when he was a child, it turns out that as long as he wears a little makeup and covers his short hair, he can still pretend to be Roy: "How did you make me a woman!"

"Time is tight, you can only choose the simplest plan, don't pick and choose to escape!"

The little silver fox was so frightened by a series of drastic changes that he kept shrunk in his leather bag and trembled and didn't dare to come up, and then he also poked his head out curiously to look at him, staring intently at Rod's face, completely fascinated by this deformed makeup, but unfortunately he was pressed back by Sylna before he saw enough.

"Alright, Ciri will withdraw with us, and we will also put on makeup. I want to make you look like a man, but you don't have the same congenital conditions as Xiao Luo, so you can only cover up the scar under your left eye, this feature is too obvious. ”

"Good. Ciri nodded, patted the boy and comforted him: "Rod, don't make a difference, run away first." ”

The words of friends of the same age are more effective than anyone else, and Rhodes is afraid that he will be called naïve by Ciri, so he has to force his reluctance and stare at "Roy" in the mirror and wait for the two people around him to change their appearance and prepare.

A dozen "guards" of the caravan were gathered together by Dieter, and the two teenagers who had made up secretly withdrew towards the city wall. Unfortunately, it was not long before he was discovered by a small patrol sergeant under an intensive search, and Dieter pointed out five men to stay behind, and led Rhodes all the way to another deserted dwelling almost next to the city wall.

Under Dieter's guidance, Morfan and the others removed a heavy, dilapidated cabinet, revealing a secret door on the ground.

"The first time it is opened, there may be something inside, Grom opens the way, Rhodes follows, and we are the queen of the palace. Ignoring the boy's shock and doubts, Dieter pulled open the secret door, revealing a black hole: it was a tunnel, the damp and uneven ground in the passage, and Rhodes stood for a moment after being pushed in, and with his magic inspired the ring his mother had given him to illuminate his feet.

Speaking of which, this ring is the first time to play a serious role, the tunnel extends deep into the ground with a clear slope, the soles of the shoes are slightly muddy to the touch, and there are hard objects from time to time, and the magic light of the ring shines on the way, and the ground under the body seems to be shaking. Rod wanted to see every step clearly before he landed, but he was forced to be chased by Sylna behind him, so he had to follow the great swordsman in front of him.

After going down some distance, something was wrong in front of me: the passage was flooded.

"Damn, Bai Yirong is dressed up. Silna said angrily.

Dieter shook his head: "It's still light with white makeup, I'm afraid that the flooded part has rotten." May there be no dereliction of duty on the part of those who defend the authentics, Morfan, you go down and explore the way, while the others wait where they are. ”

Morfan, who has always looked relaxed, as if he could smile when the sky falls, looked solemn at this moment, he took the magic lamp in Dieter's hand, took off his coat and took off his weapon and stepped into the water without hesitation, and the whole person disappeared into the submerged tunnel, leaving only a few bubbles on the liquid surface.

The house was on the edge of the city walls, and their whereabouts revealed that the Anteli soldiers could follow them at any moment, and everyone waited anxiously, but fortunately the five men who were left behind by Dieter were the first to come - the patrol soldiers who had found them had been killed, but their disappearance would soon attract more soldiers, and they had to hurry.

......

Rod was still in a trance, as if in a dream: "Dieter...... What's going on with this tunnel?"

Dieter pressed his shoulder solemnly: "Rod, the most important thing now is to send you to safety, related questions, I will answer them when I have the chance, okay?"

"Okay. ”

Everyone stopped talking, and in the dark pit with only a glimmer of magical light, everyone's breathing and heartbeat were clearly discerning. Although the direction of the entrance to the tunnel behind him was silent, Rhodes always felt that a large number of soldiers would rush out of the darkness at any time, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

The actual time was only a few minutes, but Rod felt that he had been waiting for an hour, and Morfan finally floated up and wiped the water on his face: "The underwater part is made of stone frames, which is very solid, let's go." ”

Dieter immediately ordered: "Everyone, take off the clothes that affect the movement and go underwater!"

Everyone did not hesitate to do so, even Ciri and Sirina stripped off their underwear, and their sturdy and slender bodies were exposed to the light of the magic lighting props, but unfortunately no one was in the mood to admire them. They gathered their things into Rod's shrinkage bag, and dived for dozens of meters in the water-filled passage and successfully emerged from the other end, without any accidents - except for the little fox who knew no water at all but was carried by Grom and forcibly carried over: not only was his white hair soaked and stuck to his small body, but he also kept spitting and choking on the water from his mouth and nose, and he looked quite embarrassed like a chicken in the soup.

After wading through the water, Rhodes took out everyone's belongings from the shrinkage bag and redistributed them to everyone, and the group put on their clothes and continued to move forward. The trend of the passage had clearly changed to the upward trend at this point, and Rhodes thought a moment ago that they were going to dive to hide in the underworld, but here they also reacted: they were taking a tunnel that dived under the city walls, and the flooded section was flooded by the infiltrated water because it was too low, and when they left the tunnel, they should be outside Sardenberg.

The tunnel was excavated by hand, as evidenced by the stone used to make up the flooded section. Rhodes had little interest in military affairs, but he still had common sense—how could Dieter, a trader, have a secret passage in a foreign capital that is enough to cross the city walls...... Did he really kill the king?

Dieter promised an explanation, but the doubts quickly fermented in Rod's mind and turned into all sorts of nonsense. Groping his way up the passage, Rhodes had already made several guesses in just a few minutes, and instead of trying to figure everything out, his mind was in a mess......
