Chapter 5: The Runaway Princess
Princess Dale is attacked and missing!
Clear Sky immediately asked, "What happened?" This is the Imperial City, how can someone easily set up an ambush and attack Princess Daile. ”
Without waiting for Jared to reply, a group of sheriffs rushed up with the museum's servants.
Seeing the current scene, Knight Jared, who realized that something had happened to the museum, asked, "Miss Weatherlight, this place has also been attacked?" ”
"Yes...... Someone used occult magic to attack the place, and the royal knight, Baron Alvin, died. Clear Sky motioned to Jared not to talk about Princess Dale here: "You go and take care of the wound first, and leave it to Feige here." I'm going to get ready, and let's go over and see the scene of the attack together. ”
Knowing that Princess Dale was missing, Jared saluted the clear sky, and then hobbled upstairs with the surviving royal knights and servants.
Clear Sky briefly told the sheriff of the source about the attack on the museum, and left the rest to Feige. Anyway, he saw everything that could make Feige see, and he didn't see what he couldn't.
This eucalyptus is a headache for the Sheriff's Office in the imperial capital.
It's just that...... Is the Temple of the Abyss related to the attack on Princess Dale?
Although the two attacks were close to each other, there is no evidence that they were part of a group.
Forget it, let's find Daile first.
All the lights in the whole museum are turned on, and there is a mess upstairs and downstairs. Clear Sky came to the room where Princess Daile was received alone, and the ice statue was still standing there, and the scene of the sculpture with Daile was also vivid.
Clear Sky walked up to the statue and pointed at the center of the figure's eyebrows.
A surging cyan halo relayed through the ice, and some of the magic particles that remained on the ice were stimulated by the resonance to glow.
Very good!
There is still Princess Dale's magic left on the ice sculpture, and the amount is enough to release a secret word.
Clear Sky waved his hand and brought the wind to close the door, and a wall of ice sealed the door completely. Then she took out a few mysterious props from the space backpack and placed them around the ice statue, and then took out a butterfly specimen and carefully placed it in the hands of the ice statue.
The butterfly, which was already a mysterious item, flapped its wings and flew up when the secret ritual began.
Butterflies flutter around the ice, sprinkling starlight like pollen from its wings. In response, the remnants of Princess Dale's magic floated up from the ice and merged with the pollen starlight.
Clear Sky recited the secret words at this time.
"Butterflies in the Wind that have dispersed."
The fluttering butterfly specimen instantly turned to ash and disappeared into the air, and the bits of starlight converged into a stream of ice and gathered in the palm of the ice's hand, and finally turned into a magical butterfly with a shimmer of cyan.
Clear Sky took out a wooden cylinder and carefully knocked the magic butterfly into it, and then touched the ice and walked out of the room.
At this time, Knight Jared had already completed a simple bandaging with his men, and the torn knight's armor was taken off and changed into the royal knight's regular clothes.
"Miss Sunny Sky...... The carriage is ready. ”
Clear Sky walked in front of the saluting Jared knight: "You get in the car with me, and tell me in detail what happened to you on the way." ”
"Yes, Miss Weatherlight."
Jared led the knights out of the museum with Clear Sky, and as soon as they got into the carriage, Jenfnier followed.
"Professor Clearsky...... No suspicious persons were found in the vicinity of the museum. ”
Jeffany rushed to Quarantine Room 4 when Feige activated the museum alarm, only for the space collapse trap to be activated. She couldn't get in, so she had to look around the museum for someone to perform her secret arts.
Clear Sky said, "Our matter is a small matter, let the sheriffs take care of it." Knight Jared, what happened on your way to escort Miss Del? ”
"We had just reached the intersection of Purple Flower Avenue......"
…
The assault begins just as Princess Dale thinks about how to escape the palace. The carriage she was riding in was set on fire by a round of magical attacks, killing the two horses and the coachman who pulled it. However, the carriage was enchanted with multiple protective measures, and the guards escorting it reacted very quickly, and Princess Daile, who was protected in the carriage, was quite safe.
It's just that the guards suffered heavy casualties in the attack in order to protect the carriage, and in the face of the siege of a large number of assassins, they could only do their best to defend it.
Princess Dale, who was sitting in the carriage, quickly calmed down after passing through the initial panic. She even comforted the maids beside her: "Don't be afraid, this place is very close to the palace." There were not only sheriffs, but also palace guards, who would soon come to their aid.
We'll be fine. ”
The maid's mood gradually calmed down, and Princess Dale watched the battle outside, and a bold idea came to her mind.
What other plans do you need to specify to leave the palace?
Isn't there now the best chance to do it!
As she concentrated, a map of the city of St. Lun came to mind. This is the Imperial City District...... After the father found out that he was missing, he would first blockade the Imperial City as fast as possible, and then the Upper City District.
and the personnel leaving the city of Saint-Lun by land and air were closely checked.
It's impossible to get all the way out of the city of St. Lun.
But you can sneak into the lower town first.
The people of the imperial capital saw the lower city as a garbage dump and a sewer. Sister Agatha said that there were some spies and informants in the lower city, and there was no usable imperial administrative force.
If you can hide in the lower city, you can avoid the first round of hunting, and then slowly wait for the opportunity to leave the city of St. Lun, and finally leave the territory of the empire.
I thought of the sculpture that Agatha had given herself, and the ice sculpture she had made with Clear Sky. Thinking that he was going to marry someone he had never met in the future, and thinking of the little animals that he had released.
And the little bird that was treated by itself, but never looked back and flew into the sky.
The Augustinian family never lacked courage to make Princess Dale draw her magic wand and cast a spell to knock her maid unconscious.
Dale opens the escape door under the carriage and jumps from the escape door to the carriage. At this time, the guards were overwhelmed by the Assassins, and they did not know that Dale was hiding under the carriage.
At this time, support from all around is coming. The assassins who failed to assassinate could only retreat under the cover of each other.
Knowing that the chance to escape was about to disappear, Dale pulled a cloak from the compartment under the saddle. She rolled out from under the car wrapped in a cloak, and when she rolled over, she was dressed as an assassin.
Dressed in black, his head wrapped around only his eyes were exposed.
Dale fled with the Assassins, but the guards did not dare to chase after them and continued to protect the carriage. When the support from all sides surrounded the scene of the attack, the guards realized that Princess Dale was missing.
Dale fled with the Assassins through the alleys and rooftops, and the fleeing Assassins did not realize that the target they were trying to assassinate was at her side. But Dale knew that if she kept following her, the Assassins would definitely notice something unusual, and the camouflage cloak was effective. She dragged back, dodging into a shadowy shadow as she crossed the roof of a building. The camouflage cloak covers the whole body and turns into a pile of debris.
The Assassin, who sensed that someone had fallen behind, sent someone back to check it out, but found nothing and had to quickly catch up with the team in front of him.
The roof is quiet again.
After a flash of light flickered in the corner, Dale stood up with her cloak on. She came to the edge of the building and looked into the distance, the direction where the attack took place was brightly lit, and magic fireworks of different colors were constantly flying.
She took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, where the stars were brighter than they had seen in the palace, and an airship flashing its navigation lights slowly flying overhead.
"Just being so far away, it's already such an open world. What kind of scenery can I see if I can go further? ”
At this time, the residents of the building turned on their lights one after another because of the noise outside, and the search team would come soon. This place is far from safe for Dale, and she has to enter Downtown before the uptown is locked down.
Dale leaps from the top of the building, magically propping up her cloak and turning into a paraglider, flying towards a nearby river under the control of the floating magic. There was an aqueduct in that river that would flow through the Imperial Apothecary, the Imperial Alchemy Institute, and the Imperial Transcendent Species Cultivation Center......
Every day, these important scientific research institutions in the empire produce large amounts of experimental waste, which is loaded into improvised garbage boats and left down the aqueduct into the lower city.
Because of the chance that there is something very dangerous in this garbage, the sheriff in charge of the aqueduct inspection is perfunctory.
Dale's plan to enter the lower town was to board one of the junk boats. Find a place to hide and wait for the water to send you into the lower city.
The upper and lower towns are separated by a high wall, and all the passages connecting the two towns are closely guarded by sheriffs. No matter how chaotic the lower town is, it must not be allowed to spread to the upper city. It's just that no matter how tightly you defend it, you can't stop the already eroded lower city from attacking the other side of the city wall.
On the high-risk garbage drain, a garbage boat was stopped by the sheriff on duty as it passed through the city wall checkpoint, and a barrage rod was placed across the river.
Searchlights on the walls shone on the hull, and on the deck were rows of sealed garbage cabins.
The captain of the garbage boat immediately handed a pack of cigarettes to the captain of the sheriff on the shore.
"Captain Tyri, what's wrong? Didn't you just let it go before? ”
Captain Tyli took the cigarette and put it in his pocket, waved his hand to let his subordinates get on the boat to search, and then pointed to the sky in the direction of the Imperial City: "Didn't you see that the warning magic signal in the Imperial City has not stopped since it was released just now?"
Something must have happened at the palace.
If my side relaxes and lets go of those who shouldn't be let go, the lives of our people are not enough for His Majesty to kill. ”
Seeing the sheriff on board the ship, the captain took out a stack of money and quietly slipped it into Captain Tyri's pocket.
"I have to run in this canal several times a day, don't you worry about me? It's not that I don't want you to check, it's mainly ...... The main thing is that there are goods that Mr. Malken specially told him to ask for. ”
"Mr. Malken?" Hearing this name, Captain Teli immediately hesitated: "What is it?" ”
The captain looked at it with some difficulty.
Captain Tyli waved the captain to follow and led him to a secluded place.
"It's not that I don't give Mr. Malken face, it's just that tonight's situation is too special. In my experience, the news of the total lockdown will come soon, and when the time comes, I will just let you go, and you will not be able to get by.
What is it, must tell me. ”
The captain could only say: "It is a batch of obsolete products from the Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center." Although they are obsolete, some of their tissues can be used for extraordinary modification of the human body.
Mr. Malken has been staring at this batch of extraordinary biological obsolescence for a month, and the fresher it is, the higher the value. If the city is closed, this batch of goods will all rot if it cannot be delivered in time.
Mr. Malken paid a lot of money for this shipment, if he could not receive it...... You know the consequences. ”
The captain's words made Captain Teli keep looking at the junk boat, and the sheriff who boarded the ship waited for his orders.
"No, I'm going to take a look. If there is no one, let you and the boat pass. ”
The captain said helplessly, "Okay, please hurry." And there are high-end goods in it, it looks very close to people, and it is not dead, you have to be careful. ”
looks close to people, which means that he is a military-level extraordinary cultivator.
Not dead, it means that someone in the Transcendent Species Breeding Center is estimated to be left with Malken.
It's a terrible batch of goods.
"I'll be careful, open a position...... Hurry up! ”
At this time, Daile was hiding in a garbage cabin. Unlike the dirty and foul smell she imagined, the inside of this cabin was much cleaner. On a multi-tiered shelf fixed to the ground stood a corpse covered with a bloody white cloth.
Dale lifted a sheet of cloth to reveal a hateful head, and fangs ten centimeters long protruding from the corners of her mouth.
Boar Man: A transcendent transformation man bred using the transcendent creature Mountain Roaring Boar King. The Imperial Transcendental Species Research Center hopes that he can reach the combat power of the invincible barbarians, and that he can produce them in large quantities.
But the success rate is not high.
Dale covers the dead boar man and lifts the second corpse.
Flower Demon: A transcendent creature that lives in the forests of Connaris and specializes in using restoration-type spells. If there are enough flower demons on the battlefield, it can greatly increase the survival rate of soldiers.
It's just that the number of original flower demons is very scarce, and the research of the Imperial Transcendent Creature Cultivation Center to make flower demons in batches has been in difficult birth.
Dale looked at a few more corpses, and couldn't help but feel extremely lost and depressed.
These were all experiments created by the Empire and approved by his own father himself.
"Kid, what are you sad about?"
A female voice suddenly sounded, and the frightened Dai'er took out her magic wand and aimed it at the deepest part. There was a separate cabinet there, and the sound came from inside the cabinet.
"Who are you? Are you still alive? ”
"In a sense...... I never lived, but my current state doesn't seem to be dead. Although his voice was weak, his tone was very open-minded.
"I can save you. I got very good grades in my magic class......"
Dale walked closer and closer to the cabinet, and she could feel the contents very close to her.
"Child, I can feel that you have a pure heart, and that its birth in the Augustinian family is nothing short of a miracle. Come...... Child, fate has made you and I meet here, let me wait for your arrival. ”
Dale had already walked to the cabinet, and a white, holy light flowed from it.
"Who are you?"
"Open this door, won't you know?"
