Chapter 035: The Castle Secret Passage

Horn hates being cheated on the most, but when it's Aunt Shelley who cheats on him, he doesn't have the slightest solution. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The water in the tub was steaming, and he dismissed all his servants, stripped naked, and immersed his whole body in the hot water. At first, the scorching water was unbearable, and every inch of skin touched was painful as being bitten by thousands of giant ants, but when the skin turned red and numb, the comfort was so intoxicating. "Outsider, get me a drink!!" he soaked in the hot water, venting all his anger on his servants.

The man who came was a guard, dressed in a neat suit of armor, and even wore a helmet, but he was short in stature, and the armor did not seem to fit well, but fortunately he had a wine glass in his hand.

Horn took the glass and looked at the man suspiciously. "I didn't see you when I first entered," he said casually, "Your guards change guards in Sunshine City every two hours?" he took a sip of his wine, "That's easy, if you were born in the North City, or Assyria, one stop is one night!"

The guards bowed their heads, silently in place.

"Dumb?" Horn placed his glass on the edge of the tub and re-submerged himself in the water, down his throat. "Get out, you aren't needed here, I'll call again if I need to. ”

The guards still stood with their heads bowed, not intending to leave.

"Aunt Shelley asked you to keep an eye on me?" Horn snorted, "Get out, get me out now!" He turned his head to glance at the guard, and seeing that the man was still not moving, he immediately got up, waved his hand and swept the glass to the ground, and spilled red wine on the guard. "Are you deaf?!Get out of here!Get out now!!!" he pointed out the door, his eyes full of anger.

"Brother Horn, I didn't see it before, your temper is really big. The guard finally raised his head and stared at him through the gap in his helmet's visor. "It's good that your mother rejected my brother's marriage offer, otherwise, I will really ..... for the rest of my life It's so small. ”

"Sue ..... Sura?" Horn reached out to brush away his already long hair, "you..... You ....." He blushed and squatted into the tub as fast as he could, the water overflowing like a wave. "Are you crazy?!I'm taking a shower!..... How did you get in?"

The guards took off their helmets, revealing purple eyes that had bent into a crescent moon. "You're underestimating me, this is my house, I've lived here for fifteen years, can't I even get into a guest room?" she put her helmet at her feet and walked to the tub with gentle steps, "I said, Brother Horn, you need me to help you—"

"No, liar, get out!" Horn waved his hand at the door.

"I'm not a liar, the person who lied to you is my mother, she has already received a letter from Beicheng, how would I know?" Sura retorted sharply, "If you still want to go out, you better keep your mouth shut, I'm here to help you!"

"Help me?" Horn sneered, "No, get out." ”

"Sonny is waiting for us, I've got him out. "Uncle Lawrence of the Icefield is rushing here, if you want to be caught back, and continue to be the acting lord of the unjust city," she tossed her clothes into the bath, "just go ahead and take your bath, and stay here obediently." ”

"How do you get out?" Horn glanced at the armor on her body, "disguised as a guard?"

"Unless you think my mother sent them blind. She suddenly looked serious, "The Sun Castle is full of secret passages, including this room. She walked to the stone wall on the north side of the bathtub and groped for a moment. Horn heard only the sound of rocks grinding, and when he turned back, there was a half-man-high passage in the seemingly gapless wall. "What are you waiting for?" she said, "get dressed." ”

"You, turn around. ”

It's not so much a secret passage as a ventilation duct. It was far more difficult to climb than Horn had imagined, and he had to lie flat on his back, holding on to the wall with his hands, pushing his body forward, moving extremely slowly. "Who built this damn secret passage, why don't you build it wider?" his grumbling lingered among the stone walls for a long time, far and wide.

"Horn, are you sure the Captain of the Guards didn't lie to you?" Sura led the way, not expecting at first that the spacious passage would be so difficult to climb now.

Horn moved his hands to his chest and pushed forward the balls of his feet, changing to a prostrate stance. "To be honest, I never thought about it before. He snorted and moved forward. "But when Neo told me that story, and put together everything that seemed unrelated, but connected and related. With the force of his feet, he moved forward a little more. "I just found out that seemingly ridiculous rumor, I'm afraid it's true. Although I don't want to admit it. ”

"But your eyes are almost identical to Lord Kenny's. There was sympathy in Sura's voice.

"A lot of the eyes of the people of Karta are honey-colored, and that doesn't prove anything. Horn gasped, his shoulders and ankles a little sore from the long climb. "By the way, Sura, you've lived in Sunshine City for so many years, do you know if there's any similar witchcraft that you can get me to the bottom of this damn question?"

"My mother is proficient in divination, but she won't help you, and it seems that divination only predicts the future. Sula sighed. "We can go to Uruk and give it a try, maybe it will help you get out of your troubles. ”

"Uruk?" Horn stopped. "The whole of Sumer, it seems to be the only place where it is a maverick, and there is very little contact with the outside territory, what the hell is that place? Have you ever been there?"

"No, but I know where it is. Sura said, "Listen to the Scholars in the Scholar Tower, the temple of Uruk is dedicated to a sacred object, as if it were a ..... What a card. She paused, "It is said that the treasure can not only know the past, but also predict the future, and if we can borrow it, it will solve your troubles." ”

"We?" Horn continued to elbow the ground, "you're going too?"

"Or else?" snorted Sulla, "do you want to stay here, waiting to be caught by your mother?" I don't want to listen to her babbling, as long as you escape, it will be related to me, if not me, she knows it." ”

"Oh, sorry. That's all he can say.

Sonny was waiting for them in the stable, holding three strong horses in his hands. "Damn, I thought you guys were caught. Seeing the figures of the two friends, he complained to them in a very low voice, and handed the reins into their hands.

"Damn, what have you done?" Horn hesitantly took the reins and pointed to the two stablemen lying on the ground behind him, "Let's ride out?"

"Or else?" said Sulla, who turned on her horse with Sonny's help, "Don't worry, the drawbridge in Sunlight City never comes down, because there hasn't been a war here in years." She turned to Sonny, "Make a fire here, don't be too big, just smoke." ”

Sonny spun on his horse and shook the reins with one hand, and the remaining hand swung back, and the fire suddenly lit up the night.
