In the evening, Lan returned to the palace alone, the sun had not yet set, and the last rays of light were still in the hall.

"Lan, where have you been, why are you only coming back now?"

Lan was stunned, and said slowly as he walked back to the room: "It has nothing to do with you......

"Here it is again, this guy ......" Xing Han sighed, this is not the first time he has seen Lan's expression, if she guessed correctly, it must have been Maxelle who provoked her again, judging from the extent of Lan's depression, Maxelle must have said something that made her feel frustrated, "Hey, Merlot made dinner, do you want to eat together?"

"No!" Lan's voice fell as the door slammed shut.

"Mr. Xinghan, has anyone come back?" asked Merlo as she heard the door slam shut, poking her head out from behind half of the kitchen wall.

Xing Han smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Ahaha...... It's okay, it's the wind just now, you can continue cooking. ”

"Oh. ”

After the two settled dinner, they began to get bored, Lan's palace did not have a TV like the villa in the back, there were only endless books to read.

"Merlo, are you sure you won't bring Lan with you tonight?" Xing Han asked subconsciously by glancing at Lan's door.

Merlo lifted the corner of her nightdress and jumped on the sofa, hugged the pillow at one end and lay down: "It's useless for that stupid guy to bring her, it's enough to have me and Mr. Xinghan, we can come back after figuring out what's in that drawer, at this time, even if I tell Stupid Lan tomorrow morning, it's okay." ”

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xing Han saw Mei Luo lying on the sofa looking like she was about to fall asleep, and couldn't help but drag her up.

"Hmm, sleep, there's no way to keep your nerves full with magic here. Mei Luo slumped on the sofa again, and at the same time patted the vacant seat next to her and smiled, "Does Mr. Xinghan want to be with you too?"

"Forget it......" Xinghan had no choice but to make concessions with Merlo.

"Oh, then please Mr. Xinghan to guard here while I'm asleep, oh yes, leave on time at half past eleven, Mr. Xinghan must remember to wake me up at eleven o'clock~" Before Xinghan could object, Merlo plunged into the pillow, looking like she wouldn't listen to any of Xinghan's requests anymore.

"Enough is enough, Mei Luo......" Although her stomach was full of fire, she couldn't vent it in front of Mei Luo, just like facing Fei'er in this world.

"Okay, okay, just this once~ Hmm...... Then as a reward, Mr. Xinghan can do anything while I am asleep~" As soon as Merlo's words fell, there was a deathly silence in the living room, Xinghan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his neck slowly moved like a rusty puppet to the sofa where Mero was.

For a long time, Merlo seemed to have fallen asleep, and Xing Han swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, and then approached the sofa little by little.

"Hey, Merlo. ”

Without any response, Xinghan finally put his mind at ease, tiptoed to pick up Merlo's head, sat down sideways and put her head on his lap, his silky hair caressing Xinghan's fingers, and he couldn't help but start stroking back and forth along Merlo's long hair.

"Oh, am I overestimating Mr. Hoshihan?" Just as Hoshihan was completely relaxed, Merlot's voice suddenly rang out from below.

"Ahh

"If Mr. Hoshihan likes it, you can continue...... I don't hate being touched like that. Merlo lay down, and Xinghan didn't seem to have any more thoughts of leaving, "My brother used to do this when I was younger, and whenever I fell asleep next to him, he would stroke my head like this. ”

"Does Merlo still have a brother?"

In Xinghan's impression, Camuel, Daisy, and the late Anne Liet, these are all of Merlot's relatives, and she has never heard her talk about Capecia's son before, why has no one ever mentioned such an important matter?

"Well, my brother's name is Soyat, and he's seven years older than me. Merlo closed her eyes, the warm fire in the fireplace never meant to be extinguished, "Ten years ago, my brother went on a campaign with my father, and he never came back. As the only son of a Judrieland nobleman, anyone knows the importance of his brother, but that decision was also made by his brother himself. No one in the aristocracy felt sorry for it, but they sealed their brother's existence into darkness along with the Intis we had never seen, and for Judriland, the heir was everything, so they never made any of the deceased heirs public. ”

"Judriland, 61 Soyat...... Do you remember what kind of person he was?"

Merlo paused and said, "My brother is a very gentle person, but he always likes to be in the limelight, and every time he is taught a miserable lesson by Sister Camue, who is several years younger than him. Brother Soyat like that will probably never be seen again. ”

"Da Da ......" Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, when I looked up again, the seed hanging on the wall had already arrived at eleven o'clock.

"Ah, I didn't sleep at all. Xing Han scratched the back of his head helplessly, and got up to make preparations before leaving.

"Hee-hee, it's much more fun to be able to talk to Mr. Xinghan than to sleep. Merlo said as she changed her nightdress, "We still have five hours, Mr. Xinghan, the vigilance of the Duke of Wind Rider tonight is probably different from last time, and it will be a problem to sneak in." ”

"Dive in...... Xing Han put on his coat and pulled out a thin steel wire from the corner of the bookshelf and smiled, "Don't worry, although it can't do the speed of Lan, but it's enough for those guys in the royal army." ”

It's been almost two months since I came to the King's City, and if I'm lucky tonight, maybe I'll leave this place early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye to Merlo......

An hour later, Star Chill and Merlo arrived at the outskirts of Duke Windrider.

As Merlo said, the security here is very tight these days, and if the wire falls the slightest bit off, they will find out, which is where she has the most headache. Xing Han's physical skills have not been practiced to the level of Lan, and it is nothing to be a little slower in speed, but if the sound is heard by those patrolling guards, it will be troublesome.

"Mr. Hoshihan, can you do it?" Merlo looked up at Hoshihan, who was preparing to launch a tightrope.

"Okay, Merlo, hold me tight, I'll be there in a moment. Xing Han measured the distance, this is the second time he has used this method, if the first time is just luck, then the second time will not be so lucky, but now I can only try to bet.

"Whoosh-"

"Hmph, is it finally here......"

"Lord Maxelle, the traps are ready, all that remains is to see them appear. A guard-looking man pushed open the door and reported to Maxelle, who was sitting at the window.

"Very well, Lui Fitz 61 Lan, tonight is the time to witness the gap between you and me. Maxelle glanced at the moon in the sky, a moon slowly sinking into the dark clouds.

The steel wire withdrew from his hand as it landed, Xing Han looked at the already worn steel wire in his hand and shook his head: "Sure enough, it's just an ordinary steel wire, if Lan is willing to lend her to me, something like this can probably only be used once or twice." ”

"Mr. Xinghan, let's go. Merlo glanced up at the kitchen window, and was about to climb inside, but suddenly stopped, "Wait......"

"What's wrong?" Xinghan, who heard Merlo's instructions, also stopped, her expression very solemn, like a lion cub looking for prey.

"It's so quiet, a little bit out of order. Merlo stood up, there was no one in the kitchen or around, and it was a completely safe place now, "Mr. Xinghan, don't touch this window yet, I'm afraid there is some kind of trap on it." ”

"Trap?!" Xinghan exclaimed, "It can't be, Maxelle shouldn't be so prepared." ”

Merlo pointed to the recess in the window and said slowly: "Mr. Xinghan, this window was not as new as it is now when we came last time, not only the dust accumulated in it is gone, but even the scratches on it have become much less. ”

According to Merlot's guidance, it is true that although the impression is not very deep, the window last time was definitely not this one.

"You can't go here, Mr. Hoshihan, do you remember the villa over there in the camping area?" Merlot gave up on the idea of entering through the window, so that if the trap was triggered, it would be worth the loss.

"Well, you mean to go in from that dungeon, right?" Xing Han followed his memory and walked towards the back of the villa.

The windows of that dungeon were big enough for one person to get into, but it was impossible to climb from the inside to the outside, let alone without magic.

"It's here. Xing Han pulled out the weeds that grew in the corner of the villa, this villa is really big, and it took nearly five minutes to walk here.

Under the grass was a dark window, and the distance between the two iron bars was very long, and Merlot watched at the entrance, and finally got in. The height inside was about five or six meters above the ground, and when Merlo entered, she only heard a "bang", hoping that she could land safely.

"Merlot, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Mr. Xinghan, come down, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism here. Mei Luo's voice came from the dark window, and her judgment should not be wrong, and Xinghan didn't think much about it, and went in through the window.

"Smack!"

After landing safely, Merlo was watching the surroundings in the faint moonlight.

"Mr. Xinghan, I think we've been discovered, but Maxelle and her men haven't seen us yet. The defense outside is just a fear of the danger in the room, from now on, Mr. Hoshihan, we can't be seen by the enemy, not even a corner of the clothes!"
