Chapter 12: The Encounter of Silas and Trosicus

Hours had passed since the wee hours had passed, and there was silence on the dark street, and Silas had come to the Grand Plaza de la Murocigas, clutching a crow in his hand. Platoons of soldiers patrolled outside the gate, and a few Legion soldiers on their horses walked by, unusually heavily guarded. Silas put the broadsword behind him, hidden in the vicinity of the main square, and slowly approached the gate. At this point, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the open space on the other side.

While!

The stone fell to the ground, and the soldiers looked there, and taking advantage of this gap in time, Silas leaped into the pavilion, and leaped again, and climbed over the large ring porch, and in one dodge, and stood in the great square. The soldiers looked up in astonishment, only to feel a black shadow passing by, but saw a black crow cry a few times and flew away, so they relaxed.

Fortunately, there were no patrolling soldiers in the main square where Silas was located, so an unnecessary fierce battle was avoided.

Silas stood cautiously on the ground, and saw the soldiers patrolling back and forth near the hall of Hades in the distance, and he hurriedly hid near the main hall at the base of the statue of the god of Sa, where it was pitch black, and the soldiers could not find him.

Then, in a few quick jumps, he came to the temple gate, which was firmly sealed, and when it was opened, it made a loud noise, and before he could enter, he would alarm the guards.

Silas thought for a moment, and thought that there was a small door above the head of the statue of the god Sa, which led to the base palace below. So, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, he jumped onto the huge folded robe of the statue of the god of sas, jumped on the arm of the god of sa again, and jumped on the shoulders and top of the statue of the god of sa again, and he slowly opened the small bronze door and slipped down a thick pillar.

The interior of the temple is extremely large, and the walls are decorated with portraits of the god Sa, hymns written to him by later celebrities, and calligraphic introductions to the great deeds of his life. In the center of the main hall are various sculptures and handicrafts related to the god Sa. At the back is a gorgeous jewel-encrusted lid and a coffin carved on all sides of Siturat, the strongest war horse of Sylsa. When Silas looked at it, he knew that it might be the coffin that contained his father. He strode forward, tossed the broadsword aside, and pushed his hands toward the top of the coffin.

The hall was very silent, and the atmosphere was a little weird. Silas had just pushed open a crack in the top cover, but saw a blue flame rushing out from under his nose, his expression was too focused to dodge for a while, and he was hit in the chest by the flame.

Suddenly, he felt a stuffy heat in his chest, and Silas immediately fell to the ground. The strange flame attached to his chest, and instead of ignition, it slowly penetrated into his body, and only the muscles of his whole body contracted together, and Silas groaned in pain. At this moment, the lid of the coffin was suddenly opened, and a man who looked exactly like his father stepped out of it, and Silas's vision was blurred, and he covered his chest.

"Are youβ€”what kind of demon?"

"I'm not a demon, I'm just a human. As he spoke, the blue flame had completely penetrated Silas's chest, and Silas screamed, shrunk his body, and suddenly turned into a little white rabbit, and ran in the direction of the temple gate.

At this time, the silver-bodied human realm suddenly drilled out of the boulder pillar in front of the temple gate, and grabbed Silas, who had transformed into a little rabbit, "I didn't expect to catch this guy so easily." ”

After this, Silas's father also turned into the small ugly creature named Ganas, he looked at the big knife left by Silas on the ground and smiled: "This knife is the seventh-ranked blade of the Great Dragon's Tomb, don't let that guy Sirins know, it belongs to us." ”

Early the next morning, the hall was tightly surrounded by Sirins' bodyguards.

Celins sat on the big seat, and the big barley stood on his side and stared at the temple Canas couldn't stop roaring, and Celins stood up suddenly, staring at the little rabbit that had been picked up by the two ears of the Boundary.

"You say this is Silas?!" he questioned.

"Yes, king. "You have known our methods, and you have seen me transform into Sitolie, and you know that I have the ability to turn others into weak animals or flowers. ”

"Yes, I believe you, your methods are indeed incredible, but these are all the words of you evil people, how can I know that he is Silas!" Sillins laughed, "I won't know his true face if you find a random rabbit to trick me, no matter what, I will only believe it if you turn it back into Silas." As he spoke, he saw the rabbit struggling desperately, glaring at him with angry eyes.

"Dear King. "Silas came at night, and perhaps I was a little too aggressive and a little too harsh, and now I can't recover from this trick myself." ”

When Sirins heard this, he thought to himself, "If the thief with ten eyes came here again and knew that this rabbit was not Silas, he would think that I was playing tricks on him." ”

"Anyway, I don't believe this is Silas, and you can't prove it now, which means that your mission is not yet complete, and if you want to go back, you have to stay here for two more days, and continue to pretend to be Si Tuo Lie to complete his funeral and lead Sila out, so that I can have peace of mind. ”

"But this is clearly Silas. Jielin said indignantly, he knew what Sillins was thinking, and defended: "Dear king, Silas cannot appear at the funeral, because this little rabbit is Silas, and it was not the same then as it is now, and you don't believe that it is Silas, but we are going to stay here and be at your mercy." ”

"No, no. Sillins smiled: "If Silas hadn't appeared that day, then it had nothing to do with you at all, it was the failure of my plan, and you can all go back." ”

Realm Pro caught a glimpse of what was going on in Cilins' mind and nodded.

Ganas glanced at the realm, and knew that what Sirins said was true, so he smiled and said, "I hope that the king will keep his promise at that time." ”

That night, everything about Silsa seemed cramped. Celins watched the rabbit in the cage in the main hall, "Whether Silas has ever been here or not or whether he is in this cage is really a thought-provoking question. ”

That night, on the Liberty Avenue of the Four Woods, Trosicus, dressed in iron armor and carrying a long sword, hurried to the residence of the former king of Lorin Log.

"None of us know what happened to Silas, you said he wouldn't return to Oz, so his whereabouts would be a mystery, I wonder if he had any friends in Silsa?" said Esbinafa and Lorraine Logge in the room.

"The people of Ozan seldom make friends with other people, and besides, he was sent to Heaven at an early age. "Do you believe that Sitoll's death is real?"

"Half-convinced. ”

In the middle of their conversation, there was a knock at the gate outside the hospital.

"It must be Trosicus, he's back today!" said Esbinafar, rising from his chair.

Trosiculus pushed the door in, and the two welcomed them out of the room, calling them into the house, and Trosiculus locked the door and said, "My lord, elder, it's been a long time. ”

"Sit down, don't be so redundant, and tell what you've been going through these days, what you've seen and heard, and that will have a life-changing effect on Syrsas. "Esbina Dharma said.

"Yes," Trosicus said to the two of them with burning eyes, "In the past six months, I have led twelve warriors who are not afraid of life and death to cross the mountains and seas, and investigated the news of General Chivero everywhere, and found that he is trapped in the corner of the Demon Domain of the Sea of Despair and the Shadow Mountain, the only exit of that realm is guarded by a thousand demon troops, although there are thousands, but that area is located in the Demon Domain, the Demon people can dispatch the demon army at any time, we do not have a good team of 10,000 It is impossible to rescue General Chivero." ”

"Ten thousand? That's a huge number, isn't there a better way than to ask Sillings to send troops?" asked Lorraine Log.

"No one can cross the sea of despair, no one can climb the Shadow Divine Mountain, this is a well-known truth, if you want to rescue General Chivelo, you must send troops to confront those demon defenders head-on. Trosicus said.

"Cirins must be reluctant to send troops, General Chivero has tasted all the goodness of the world these days in his absence, he should be afraid of the general's return, and he may even persecute you for that little bit of pathetic power. Lorraine Logge said.

"If you don't act for fear of the consequences, you will achieve nothing. Trosicus spoke firmly, "If Sirins puts me in prison, then it can only prove that the time has come to oppose him, so that the existence of the king will not bring any blessings to the country, I won't tell you that the king Xi Tuolie was captured by the demon clan great demon into the demon capital, and the barbarian demon clan is raging, if the general does not return, then our country will be in danger, except for General Chivero, which general in the country can shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting against the demon clan?" Whatever the outcome, tomorrow I will meet with Cylins to tell him about it, and if I do not come back alive, please remember the secrets I have investigated, and when the time comes, it will spread in the hearts of every Sirsas. ”

"Wait, what did you just say?" Esbinafa asked, "You said that Xi Tuolie did not die, but was captured by the Demon Clan's Great Demon and sent to the Demon Capital?"

"Yes, what's wrong? I'm investigating, but the last few days are not adulterated, and besides, I can tell you that the demons have been spying on us Sirsa for a long time, and the Demon Eye is looking straight to the east, and disaster is coming, and their presence can be found in the great plains of Itanasus, which we have neglected to guard. ”

"Listen! Sitoller is not dead, but Sirins is preparing a hypocritical funeral for him, which is incomparably ridiculous!" said Lorraine Logge indignantly.

Esbinafa was horrified.

At noon on the second day, Trosikus came to the Great Hall of Hades, and Esbinaphar approved of his approach.

"If you are going to prison, then you will be imprisoned along with the twelve brave men who have gone with you, but do not panic, the faithful will not die in his faithful deeds, at least now that I am here. Please take my Woodpecker Soldier Tinafa (1), it will be your pet, and it will be a way for you to regain your light after going to prison without much suspicion. ”

Trosiculus stood on the great hall waiting, with a woodpecker on his shoulder, and Sirins had not yet gone up to the temple, and he remembered what the elders had told him.

"Oh yes! You people are so troublesome! There are not many good days in life, what a leisurely time! You just think of some trivial thing and add ugly wrinkles to your laughing face. Cylins dragged in from the side hall, and with a long sigh, he sat impatiently on the large seat.

"You're General Cevero, the degraded man who once garrisoned the southern frontier, what an interesting fellow, and you still have a woodpecker on your shoulder, does it speak like a parrot?" said Cillins listlessly, "please! What is it that makes you call me out like a servant without thinking that I'm resting?"

"King, the gate of the Demon Realm is wide open, and the vicious Demon people are not only eyeing us, but their army may attack the city at any time, may I ask at that time, what strength will you use to resist the demon army? If the fortress of the Valley of Triumph, the city of Therocus, is breached, the whole of Silsa will be destroyed, and the people will be poisoned by blood and fire, is this not enough to summon you out?" said Trosicus confidently.

"Nonsense! How come I haven't heard of such sensational remarks?"

"You've been in the temple all along, and of course you've never heard of it. Trosiculus retorted, "I have just returned from a foreign country, King, if you want to make thousands of people respect your honor, then immediately send troops to rescue General Chivero, who is trapped in the Horn of Herance in the Demon Domain of Sisos, this is conclusive news, we have learned after half a year of investigation. ”

"What?!" Cillins was shocked and thought to himself, "I can't believe that guy hasn't come back for so long and isn't dead!"

"You're the general who went out to investigate General Chivero!" said Cilins as he stood up, "What's your name?"

"Trosicus. Trosiculus replied solemnly.

"Yes, good name, I vaguely remember. Sirins stared at Trosiculus for a moment and said, "Then, from this day forward, you will spend the rest of your life as a noble man named Trosiculus in the Realm Prison! If you dislike that being too lonely, your shivering, funny, skinny woodpecker can accompany you! This is the best reward that King Sillins has given you." ”

Trosiculus stood still, silent, as he should have thought, closed his eyes, sighed, and was set off by the soldiers who had walked up to the hall.

Afterwards, Sirins called Kadir and Neo and shouted, "Go and inform the lord of Law, Fernille, and ask him to arrest all those who are with Trosicus in search of Civero!"
