Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Praetorian Guard
"If it's blocked like this, I'm afraid there won't even be a gap for mosquitoes to fly over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ayako was also troubled by the situation.
I didn't expect that I couldn't go up with the invisibility cloak, the spiral ladder was already in the corner, and it was easy to lock it, as long as a thick wall of flesh lined up there.
Originally, I wanted to use the invisibility cloak to sneak through the gap guarded by only a few Praetorian Guards, but now it seems that there is no play.
Although there is still an open world above the heads of the Praetorian Guards, it is a pity that the entire palace is forbidden to fly except for the suspended square, if you are not afraid of death, you can try to shake out your wings and fly.
Haiya had just moved into the palace, he was still young, and he didn't believe in this evil, so he secretly instigated and threatened to let a poor guy challenge the ban, but the alchemy circle of the flight ban was touched, and the current of tens of thousands of volts turned into a roaring thunder dragon chasing the guy's ass all the way from the head of the temple to the end of the hall, and finally surrounded it, and it was going to electrify the violators into charcoal roast elves, if it wasn't for the patriarch to come quickly, stop it in time, and said a bunch of ancient apologies to the thunder dragon, then the thunder dragon would be willing to give up and return to the original state, otherwise, the latter would have been braided。
Later, the patriarch viciously reprimanded them and punished them for being locked up in the palace for a month and not allowed to go out.
Regarding the alchemy circle of the flight ban, Haiya also humbly consulted the patriarch who was so angry that his hair stood on end that time, the patriarch first scolded them again, and then hummed and chirped to tell her with a proud face.
The alchemy circle was left before the ancient destruction battle, very powerful, although it is a magic circle in itself, but because of its long history, a little bit of wisdom was born, and it can use the power of the circle itself to transform into a favorite shape, for those unwitting intruders who touched the magic circle, they have never let go of one, and they are all perfect kills in one fell swoop.
Haiya listened to this little face and turned miserable, looked at the little kid next to her who almost became cannon fodder, and felt guilty and lucky, and then she asked the old grandfather, why did the magic circle miss just now, could it be that it was too long and broken?
As a result, the patriarch gave him a blank look, and the patriarch said that it wasn't because it could sense that you were a descendant of its founder, so he didn't do it immediately, and he arrived in time and apologized respectfully to the circle, so that the violator could survive!
From then on, Haiya knew that the alchemy circle had to be treated with due respect, because it had a long, long history of guarding the water tribe, and the water tribe was protected and favored enough to treat it with the courtesy of the emperor, even though it was only a magic circle.
And it's too powerful, it's an alchemy circle left over from ancient times, even if Haiya really becomes a holy chosen person, it may not be able to compete with that magic circle after the bloodline is king, after all, its age is enough to crush Haiya millions of times, and the power accumulated in it is indescribably huge, so it's better than a fart.
So, under the tragic experience of childhood, Haiya did not think about the gap above, even if it was like an unobstructed exit, waving at her, she turned a blind eye.
Ayako, on the other hand, was a little hesitant, as if she wanted to give it a try, although she also knew the ban, but she didn't die until Huang He's heart, and she didn't believe how serious the consequences of disobeying the ban would be. She wanted to see if she could get through the gap and fly out, but before her wings could come out, her hand was pulled by Haya fiercely.
Ayako was pulled by the sudden force and almost stumbled, and fell to the ground, she turned her head to look at Haya hidden under the invisibility cloak, and the eyes seemed to ask what are you doing.
The invisibility cloak has a characteristic, that is, you must wear a hat before it will show the effect, you can wear it as a normal cloak without a hat, it is a double win, the guy who designed it was also amazed by his own brilliant intelligence, happy to meet a creature for a few days, began to praise himself to it, and finally almost was not killed......
Of course, that's for another time...... It also has the characteristic that if the person wearing the cloak together is willing to see each other, then the cloak is not hidden from each other, but if one does not want to be seen, he and the other will hide from each other and cannot see each other. But in any case, for those who are not wearing an invisibility cloak, the invisibility effect can be achieved.
I have to say that the guy who designed it is indeed very talented......
So Ayako can see Haiya, which is also based on the principle of the invisibility cloak.
"Can't fly!"
Haiya gestured to Ayako with her lips, her eyes stern and resolute, so that Ayako had to dispel this thought.
Haiya was relieved to see Ayako give up, but she was also depressed, why didn't she let fly! They are elves! Flying can be said to be one of the meanings of the existence of elves! If you can't fly, what's the use of having wings to fly.
Although the patriarch once told her that in order to maintain order, you see what a group of elves are flying around in the palace, not to mention that the status of the elves living in the palace is extremely prominent, so it is natural to abide by etiquette and behave properly, so as to match the splendid palace!
Haiya was also quite speechless about this, but the more she grew up, the more she realized that the patriarch's words made sense. She is an aristocrat, and a nobility should naturally have the style of an aristocracy.
The Basil family is also becoming more and more satisfied with this Haiya, who is increasingly in line with the image of the future queen they want to create, and they have invested a lot of money, time, and education in vain, and the twenty-year etiquette cultivation has finally borne fruit, and some of the high-ranking family members have already smiled with gray beards.
However, if they knew that they were about to build a successful successor, and today they violated the strictest rules of etiquette, slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night, and wanted to escape from the palace, they don't know what kind of expression they would have.
"What then?"
Ayako also gestured to Haiya with her lips.
Haiya was silent, apparently trying to figure out what to do.
Ayako sighed helplessly, and immediately bit her cherry lips like porcelain white teeth, as if she had made up her mind.
She quickly took off her cloak under Haya's stunned gaze, her graceful figure wrapped in dark blue tights and her shockingly beautiful cheeks naked from the eyes of the Praetorian Guards.
The Praetorian Guards were also shocked by this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but the well-trained Praetorian Guards immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the guy in front of them and that they had to be arrested.
They are highly trained, and they have always been to arrest and then interrogate unknown and suspicious guys, whether you are old or young, fat, thin, beautiful or ugly, in their eyes, you are a task that must be completed. Even if you find out the identity in the end, it's okay, if you have a brain pump or something that suddenly arouses their suspicion, then you deserve to be unlucky.
They have the power to carry out their tasks directly without asking each other's identities, because the purpose of their existence is to guard the safety of the palace, and there is no possibility of any possible threat, and they are directly subordinate to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and only obey the orders of the captain.
But now that the captain is gone, all they have to do is strictly enforce the principles and guard the palace.
The Praetorian Guards rushed forward according to the three columns of the original phalanx, the phalanx was extremely fast, and before Ayako could run far, the phalanx caught up, and the silver-white chainmail soldiers were divided into two rows and surrounded Ayako.
Ayako turned back as she ran, and the place guarding the spiral ladder was suddenly empty, and Haiya was seizing the opportunity to climb the gorgeous spiral made of white marble at this moment, and the frequency of the jade feet was fast, and it would be to the top in a short time.
Haiya stood at the junction of the underground palace and the above-ground palace, and looked at Ayako at the end of the corridor not far away, who was already surrounded by the chain mail Praetorian Guard.
At first, she thought that Ayako would take off her invisibility cloak when she had convulsions, but as smart as she was, she immediately understood Ayako's intentions, and she didn't have time or opportunity to be hypocritical, after all, Ayako didn't give her room to negotiate at all, so she started to act, so the gap that was finally created must be grasped.
She was about to leave the underground palace, and she was in a happy mood, but Ayako's arrest made her unhappy.
What would she do if I just left?
Didn't she want to see Her Highness in her mind? But now, it's impossible. She lost this opportunity for me, so I abandoned her like this, okay?
Haya asked herself, to be honest, as a princess, the philosophy instilled in her from a young Basil family and the education of the Senate were all telling her to pursue the maximization of profit and strictly abide by the hierarchy.
She will not be a tyrant, on the contrary, she will be a wise monarch, and she is also very good to her subordinates, but in her bones she has never regarded lowly people as equals.
The family told her that a subordinate is a subordinate person, and her identity cannot be transgressed. Twenty years of ideological cultivation made her convinced of this. Therefore, no matter how good Hex was, she didn't tell him about the family's decision, because she felt that although she had a good relationship with Hex, Hex's identity was never enough to know this, no matter how important it would be to Hex. Rules are rules, and they can't be broken.
But now, this belief began to waver, and Haiya felt that Ayako helped her, although their relationship could be a little more easy-going, but Ayako's identity was always the head maid, and she should not be equal to herself, and they were always in a master-servant relationship. But she was so desperate to help herself, so sincerely giving, Haiya was in a trance, this is what she would do when she was close to the elves!
She's taking me as a friend, so I'm her friend? But that doesn't match......
Haiya was touched by what Ayako had done, but she was hesitant because the family had told her that it was right for a servant to do this for her master, but was it really right?
In the past, she didn't doubt it, but when Ayako blushed and said that she admired His Royal Highness, she felt that she must like him, and only if she liked someone would have such a shy expression, although she had not experienced love, but she thought so.
As everyone knows, there is such a thing as feelings, and the idea of talking about it without personal experience is often Plato's "Ideal Republic", which is far from reality.
But why would she give up the chance to see him for my sake?
Many doubts arose in my heart again, and this was the reason why Haiya had stopped there and not left immediately.
The chainmail guards surrounded Ayako, and one of them drew the armor-piercing sword he was wearing, and the hilt guard was extremely long, and the blade was about 90 cm to 100 cm long, and it was needle-shaped.
The armor-piercing sword, although it can't be used to chop, can only stab, but once it hits the vital point, it can achieve the effect of killing with one hit, and it is slender and hard, very light, and swings quickly, often can be taken by surprise, and the battle is ended before the opponent has time to react, which is in line with the concept of the Praetorian Guard to eliminate suspicious characters and fight quickly, and then cooperate with the fast-based combat training, which obviously completely makes up for the defects of the armor-piercing sword itself.
The Praetorian Guard handles matters independently, and if he thinks you are dangerous, he has the right to kill you directly the moment he catches you, and he does not have to bear any responsibility. Of course, the general Praetorian Guards members are quite good judges and never make mistakes.
Today's moves, it seems that Ayako's situation is not optimistic.
This stupid person, Haiya saw a Praetorian Guard draw his sword, his face turned a little pale, and he secretly cursed Ayako in her heart, she didn't know that she fell into the hands of the Praetorian Guard, one was not good, and the end would be miserable! How dare you take such a risk!
The Praetorian Guard, who drew his sword, was expressionless, and walked around the pale Ayako, and finally pointed the sword at her!
His verdict was: Die!
The Praetorian Guard's hand gripping the black hilt moved, and the armor-piercing sword swept towards Ayako like silver lightning, the tip of the sword stabbing her throat.
Ayako chose to close her eyes at that moment.
"Wait!"
