Hurting people with weapons, this is something that this person with the memory of the two realms has never done.

He hid in the dark corner on the side of the light and waited silently.

The cell of the toeless man was directly opposite Gu Chuan's, and in the middle was the only corridor, and the suspected jailer was coming from the other side of the corridor. The toeless man didn't know the meaning of this escape and conflict, and when he saw Gu Chuan squatting on the side, he wanted to ask Gu Chuan if he was going to. But Gu Chuan saw the toeless man open his mouth, his eyes were cracked, and he hurriedly waved his hand at the toeless man. In the day and night relationship, the toeless man had already understood that this was what Gu Chuan didn't want to talk to him, so he fell silent and lay down in the cage, not wanting to do anything.

Gu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought that there were still many prisoners in this cage, he became worried again.

Although he and the prisoners he had never met had never said a word, which may have been the result of what had been done to them, it was a matter of success or failure.

But there were obvious traces of the crooked prison bars, and it was impossible for him to roll back into the prison when nothing happened, so he could only do his best, and obey the fate of heaven, only to see that on the other side of the darkness, a figure shorter and thinner than him was walking step by step with a lantern.

This gave Gu Chuan a little courage in terms of physique.

The man was dressed in a black robe, covering his body tightly, and wearing a strange mask on his face.

The mask is white, and the center is engraved with the coat of arms of the crown, the eye-like symbol.

That's the jailer here...... Gu Chuan thought to himself.

Every step that fell to the ground was the sound of this silence, as if it was the countdown to his life.

Cold sweat flowed from Gu Chuan's forehead, but he didn't dare to breathe, he only dared to hold the stick tighter, and his hand holding the stick seemed to become more stiff every moment. He began to worry if the stick would fall if he let go of his hand...... Then he will be discovered immediately.

"He's supposed to be right here."

The sudden sound made Gu Chuan almost open his mouth. He kept his mouth shut, and in an instant, he realized that it was the black-robed man looking for his way. The man's voice, through the dull mask, still looked young, but it was by no means anyone Gu Chuan knew.

Gu Chuan confirmed in this urgency that this was not a prison visit, this was a jailer.

As the man walked, he counted:

"Sixty-Seven, Sixty-Eight......"

This may have been the code of a prison written somewhere, but Gu Chuan didn't find out.

"The man said that the seventy-second was empty, and that the seventy-third had a man without nails, and that the seventy-fourth was the one who offered to the crown."

Gu Chuan turned his back to him and shone the light of the portable lamp at the toeless man. The toeless man was blinded by the bright light, and quickly closed his eyes tightly and covered his face with his hands.

"Same as the man said...... What a no-......."

The man was still talking, but Gu Chuan didn't listen anymore.

Because now is the perfect time, and he can't afford to miss it. He picked up the burning stick with both hands and struck the jailer on the back.

In the process, he felt that his hand had been completely out of his grasp, and that it was as pure gravity as a stick, and it was infinitely closer to the man's back.

Then the sound of an entity colliding woke him up:

"Hit!"

The stick smashed impartially on the jailer's back.

But in the next moment, a more psychedelic tactile feedback made his heart sink again.

- Can a person's back be so hard?

The jailer didn't make any sound, didn't move a single step, just put the lantern down. The toeless man noticed that the light was getting smaller, so he cautiously let go of his hands, and then watched Gu Chuan smash the stick on the jailer's back, and his eyes widened.

Gu Chuan's heart turned even more sharply.

How can it be? …… Could it be that there is some kind of protection behind this man?

He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, lifted the stick again, and struck the jailer a second time on the head.

However, it didn't even hit that time.

The man stretched out only one hand and held the stick with two fingers. So all the strength Gu Chuan exerted was like a mud cow entering the sea and disappeared.

Then the man turned his head and asked in a muffled voice in his mask:

"Who did you hit?"

Gu Chuan's face was pale, he had already realized that it was over. The person in front of him has a power that he does not know.

At some point, his teeth had bitten his lips, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth. The smell of blood stimulated his taste buds, and his mind flashed the scene of himself kneeling down and begging for mercy, the scene of himself being killed immediately, blood splattered on the spot, and the scene of himself being detained and sent to the execution ground. A lot of thoughts were mixed, and for some reason they appeared one by one at this time. He let go and put down the stick, but he didn't want to fall to his knees, so he trembled slightly, staring at the man in a daze, waiting for his end.

The suspected jailer turned around, lit the ground with a stick in his hand, and then propped it on the stick with one hand, and took off his mask with the other, revealing his true face.

She saw Gu Chuan's blood-stained lips, and whispered in confusion:

"You're a big fool too! It was obviously a beating, but he was so angry that he bit his lip. ”

And Gu Chuan staggered a few steps and sat on the broken brick floor. There were several cuts in the dirty new clothes.

"Are you...... You are ......"

When he was in the Middle Palace, he could only stand at a distance and look at the murals, so he could never see clearly.

Only now can I see the whole of this girl.

Not in the bright light of the middle palace, but in this dim prison, in the flickering light from the hood, her clear outline gradually overlapped with the person who had only recently left an impression in Gu Chuan's mind.

Ice muscles and jade bones, cool and sweat-free.

"The one who sent a message to His Majesty ...... 'Your Highness'."

He said in amazement.

She shouldn't be here anyway.

Since it is "His Royal Highness", it should be an existence that is directly related to "His Highness". Here with an attendant, he can understand. Even if he didn't bring an attendant and appeared here in formal clothes, he could understand it.

Only the current situation is difficult for him to understand.

And the "Highness" just stared at the unkempt and no longer glamorous young man, while raising his hand and lightly touching his lips.

The stick was let go by the hand, and it fell to the ground, slamming with the tiles.

Gu Chuan saw that the teeth in her mouth seemed to be glowing with pure light, and the skin on her hands and neck were as clean as a baby.

This "Your Highness" is definitely a person who has never worked, and has never been in contact with border people and outer cities, and even ...... Whether she has ever been out of the Central Prohibition Palace is doubtful.

And her eyes were bright and moving, and she looked at Gu Chuan and made him a little uncomfortable.

She asked:

"But, fool, you say, explore the world...... You wrote it, and the one who found you from a distant world...... No, it's the adventurer you found and the adventurer's notes...... Is it all true? ”

Gu Chuan looked at this "Highness" in surprise, and followed her words and said:

"Absolutely."

She just stood there, pinching her chin, spun around, and muttered for a few more moments. Gu Chuan didn't move, just stood up, saw her suddenly stand still, and heard her ask:

"And do you want to finish this?"

Gu Chuan nodded obediently.

"Yes."

"Let's go, then."

"Go, where are you going?"

She said solemnly in the dim light:

"Go where you can live. His Majesty has already sentenced you to death by imprisoning you here. ”

His Majesty kills the border people, and there is no need to explain it to anyone.

What's more, the Sichuan Bank did commit the taboo of His Majesty, and despite this taboo, the Council did not know the meaning of His Majesty, and originally acquiesced.

Therefore, aiming at the profits, the Yaoshi family chose to transform their chameleon storage service into a currency business after the council had discussed it. With the support of the PharmaBlock family, in just a few days, PharmaBlock Bank absorbed more deposits than Chuanshui Bank.

Although a large part of the Yakushi family is nominally owned and operated by private individuals, the remaining parts under their direct control, including the original chameleon storage and embodiment service point, are sufficient to perform the duties of the Yaoshi Bank after emergency training and induction.

But after some time, if you don't agree, Sunset City doesn't agree.

Subsequently, Gu Chuan met him, pushed the boat down the river, and captured him after the gift. This news is not known to the outside world, and the council is only entertaining. This is for the sake of trying to let the Yaoshi family know later.

Then, after several solar terms when the Shendi family was forced to meet, the Yaoshi family land was directly surrounded. The patriarch of the Yaoshi family and the seven clan elders who were in the clan land at the time were all imprisoned in a serious civic prison.

This move immediately shocked the entire Sunset City. The Bank's business was shattered in a matter of days.

Under the heavy pressure of the Council's surveillance, the Yaoshi family was forced to implement them one by one, resulting in a serious deficit in the clan's assets.

Over the years, the account books operated by the Yaoshi family have been forcibly transferred to a third party for accounting, and there are thousands of bad debts and wrong debts, which makes people within the Yaoshi family panic and distrust each other.

This is the most surprising thing in the solar term of Sunset City, which is enough to make the citizens of the inner city and the people of the outer city noisy, I don't know the movement of the inner city, and no one knows why Gu Chuan met and the banking industry became like this.

The bank is also in turmoil.

On the riverbank, they inquired about the people of the Foreign Affairs Department, but the Foreign Affairs Department only said that they did not know.

It's just that this kind of circulation and change has nothing to do with the "Highness" who only lives in the Forbidden Palace.

On the day Gu Chuan finished the gift, she asked someone to put away the ice cubes, and asked people to try their best to preserve the ice cubes, and even used a few rare and strange things. One of the strange things, called the three-inch mud, is enough to rejuvenate the hand, and if it is filled into the human body, it can make the severed limbs stick together and act as before.

But the ice is still melting.

This made His Highness still feel completely puzzled.

For this reason, her maidens summoned many learned men in her name.

Among them is a Rhodes scholar who is famous for the delivery of the encyclopedia craft.

Rhodes' eyes widened when he saw the ice.

Despite all the best possible means, more than half of the ice has melted. The water flows down a pipe made by a craftsman hired by the maid to another small pool to keep the ice itself tidy.

Mr. De has never seen the solid state of water, and in the face of ice cubes, he has to ask what it is and where does it come from? Is it the relationship of strange things again?

And the maid told him all about it.

At that time, she was in the inner room of the guest house, separated by a veil, and her maid was in the outer room, and after explaining, she asked Master Rhodes:

"Mr. De, I heard that Gu Chuan used to be your assistant."

Mr. De also understood the meaning of the person behind whom the maid represented. He said calmly:

"Although Gu Chuan used to be my assistant, he has long lost contact with me. He never told me about the ice, and I didn't know that the water would freeze at low temperatures...... Naturally, I ......"

"You don't know how to preserve ice?"

"Of course I don't know."

Mr. De said.

"Can you think of a way then? Mr. De. ”

"I guess it's something that water condenses at low temperatures...... So wouldn't it be nice if we kept it at a low temperature? ”

When the maid heard this, she was disappointed. She said:

"We've already tried."

This method has already been tried by the Prohibition Palace. However, the Forbidden Palace placed the ice in the coldest cellar provided by the Council, and the ice was still melting...... The Prohibition Palace doesn't know how low the temperature must be.

In Sunset City, the concept of a temperature scale does not yet exist. Temperature is also not precisely defined.

Take, for example, the most popular Celsius temperature scale. It stipulates that the ice-water mixture is zero degrees Celsius, and this presupposes that there is an ice-water mixture. In Sunset City, there is no such concept, only the concept of boiling water. The lower bound of the temperature generally used in Sunset City is the night of the White Dew solar term, which is far from the freezing point of the water.

Mr. De saw the disappointment of the Forbidden Palace. Although he had some ideas, he really didn't want to say more, because Mr. De didn't want to get too involved in projects that weren't encyclopedias.

It's just that before Mr. De left, he asked cautiously:

"I have a question. Now, where is Gu Chuan? ”

At that time, the maid said coldly:

"It's not time to disclose."

Mr. De walked away with a heavy heart.

Mr. De's return brought with him a visit from another person who was slightly interested in it.

The man was Mrs. Okiri.

Mrs. Ogiri came to the reception room wearing her coffin suit. Unlike Mr. De, she has come to the Forbidden Palace many times, and she is familiar with it, and the maid will not refuse.

This time, she also took the initiative to visit after hearing about Bing Cube, Gu Chuan, and "Your Highness" from Mr. De.

The maid was curious about Lady Ogiri's visit.

She politely asked:

"Why did the doctor come to the Prohibition Palace in advance? Do you want to see the condition of His Highness? ”

"Definitely." Lady Okiri's face was calm, and she looked in the direction of the secret door, knowing that His Highness was eavesdropping there. She explained, "I'm here because of the recent incident that you made a huge ice cube preservation. ”

At that time, this highness was in the inner room behind the secret door, flipping through the notebook of the adventurer that Gu Chuan gave her. She didn't expect the fools to come up with anything, she just wanted to read more books.

The foreign land described in the book, the different tools it pays attention to, the natural scenery depicted, and the tone of the pen hidden deep in the book are all things she has never seen or heard of. The more she looked, the more dizzy she felt.

"This adventurer must be a great man."

She thought.

"The world is big...... Earth, Shenzhou, Gaia, continent, are these all the same meaning? The book says that the people of this land believe in the gods, and the people of that land believe in the blessing of the souls of their ancestors, and the people here believe in nothing but science...... What does that mean? Can one still believe in something that doesn't exist...... Can something that doesn't exist still give people blessings? Ocean...... All rivers return to the sea, but what is the ocean? If there really is an ocean, why doesn't the land mentioned above sink into the sea? Star...... At night, you will see the stars and the moon, and the stars and the moon are things that glow hanging in the sky...... Are these really there? Isn't that night going to be so bright that I can't sleep? ”

Every concept is like a dream for her.

She couldn't tell if she was reading a fictional novel or a real travelogue, but whatever it was, whatever the truth, she knew she was hooked.

This "Your Highness", who no one calls by name, is extremely clever, and her mind is also very active, but even so, there are many things she can't understand, and she doesn't want to share it with others, so she reads it repeatedly, word by word, and is fascinated until she comes up with an explanation that fits the context.

Outside the secret door, the conversation between the maid and Mrs. Oki continued.

Mrs. Oki said:

"Actually, I'm just a little weird...... How many people did you find? Why not look for the man who invented the ice cube? Whoever started the trouble should end it...... The person who invented the ice cube can always create a second block, and naturally the first block can be preserved! ”

So, the highness missed, and the book fell to the ground.

Then, for some reason, two lines of tears flowed.

She was sad...... The man must have died.
