The next morning, Lydia was high up in the camp to observe Karl's formation. Seeing that there were still a few wisps of smoke and patrolling sentinels, her heart finally calmed down a little.

Finks's special forces have not yet sent a signal, and it seems that the Karl army has not fled.

Is this guy really just here for a holiday?

Is his religion so deeply rooted?

Lydia fell into deep thought.

As night fell, more than a dozen men and women from Karl's army came out. They actually wore festive robes and walked with oil lamps.

"I always thought I wasn't normal." Lydia said to Cruise, "Now I'm starting to suspect that the gods are not normal. ”

Cruise thought seriously for a moment and muttered, "Before we get into this question, we need to define what is called a normal ......."

"Stop." Lydia hurriedly interrupted him, "Why is the logic of your speech now more and more similar to not laughing?" ”

"Well, it's possible." Cruise scratched his head, "Recently, Lord Don't Laugh has led us to catch criminals a few times, and I have a little experience. ”

Lydia asked curiously, "What are some examples?" ”

Cruise glanced at the five people who were walking around: "If I say that this leader is not the young general from yesterday, will the princess think I'm crazy?" ”

"Why?" Lydia was a little confused, but her heart was already alert.

Although she had met with Allen, she was far away from the battlefield and wore a heavy helmet, so she didn't see his appearance clearly. Seeing a group of people coming over, and the leader was wearing a fancy costume, she naturally took him for Allen.

Cruise squinted his eyes and looked at the people carefully: "They were loose in formation and walked at random pace, but from time to time they all looked at the brown-robed lady who walked at the end, as if she was the leader." And she walks with an unnatural waist, and I guess she may have a weapon behind her back. ”

Lydia felt a pang in her heart, "Maybe these are all dead soldiers who plan to assassinate me while they are in trouble, and that woman is their prison in the end?" ”

Cruise's furry ears moved, "It's not impossible." Why don't we also find a female soldier to pretend to be a princess and go up to explore the truth? ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to change clothes now." Lydia shook her ceremonial robes, "Don't worry, now that you know about their 'plot', it's good to take it out and dry it." ”

As she spoke, she took Cruise and a few people, and strode forward to meet them with oil lamps.

The fake Alan on the other side just wanted to speak, but Lydia took the lead and said, "Where are my gods?" If you miss the prayer time, you will have to kneel in church for three days. ”

The people on the other side obviously showed stunned expressions.

As Cruise guessed, these men were pretending to be Ellen to assassinate Lydia. Their oil lamps had compartments at the bottom, which contained gunpowder and poison. As soon as they get close to Lydia, they will detonate the oil lamps and die with her.

Lydia explained their purpose in a word, and threw a step for them: "I understand, he believes in 'keeping one', so I have to pray to the five dragons first, and I am afraid that I will miss the time, so I let you come first?" ”

The five of them were just thinking about how to round out this story, when they saw Lydia giving a step, and hurriedly echoed her, "Yes, General Allen will be there later......"

Lydia pretended to look at the sky, "It's not too early, you hang up the lights first, and go back and tell him to come quickly." Otherwise, when I return to the divine capital, I will go to the Inquisition and have a good chat about tonight's affairs. ”

Those people saw Lydia standing far away, and there was a burly Cruise standing behind her, and they didn't dare to touch it. I had to leave the oil lamp as she instructed, and ran back to the military formation quickly.

Cruise sniffed his nose, "These people are running in a panic, there must be something wrong." Why did the princess let them go? ”

Lydia laughed, "Let go of the little shrimp, and Eren had to come out." I'd like to see what kind of machinations this thing has to fool me around. ”

As he was talking, a few more lights flashed out of the barracks opposite, and it seemed that Alan had to appear in person.

A wicked smile appeared on Lydia's face, "Boy, don't you want to celebrate the festival, my sister will teach you how to have a good holiday today." ”

.

Most of the world's religious festivals are inseparable from three things: sacrifices, prayers, and food.

There are two kinds of special foods for the Lantern Festival, one is bread smeared with syrup, which is a delicious gift from single boys and girls. The other is a fist-sized "exorcism bread" with a hard shell.

In the legend, there was once a demon incarnated as a man, and he could not be distinguished from his appearance, so he could only be smashed on the head with this kind of bread. If it were a demon, he would have a hole in his head.

Lydia wasted a long time telling Cruise the origin of the "exorcism bread", just to prove: "This bread is so hard, it's not that there is a problem with my craftsmanship." ”

Cruise clutched his cheeks, and after making sure that his teeth hadn't been knocked out by the bread, he hummed and accepted the absurd explanation.

Alan laughed awkwardly beside him.

After all, his plot had been discovered, and now he could only hope that Karl was ready to lay an ambush and that there would be someone to cover him when he retreated.

It's a pity that as a knight, he shouldn't have let his guard down so much, and he didn't notice that Lydia's eyes had quietly glanced over, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

Syllable!

A piece of bread smashed on the door of his head, and his eyes suddenly flashed with gold stars.

Lydia shook the charred piece in her hand and explained to Cruise in a serious manner: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, if you meet a friend, you will hit him on the head with bread. ”

Cruise frowned, "Wouldn't it hurt to have a lot of friends in the head?" ”

"Come on, it's just a loaf of bread no matter how hard it is." Lydia said and slapped Eren on the head again. This made Allen dizzy, and it seemed that even his speech function was lost instantly.

Cruise shook his head, "This custom is a little too vicious. ”

Lydia grinned, "If it's a closer relationship, like between sisters, it's fun to squeeze cream or peanut butter in it." ”

As she spoke, she took two more murder weapons from the altar.

She, the nominal princess, has also participated in several palace infighting, and she naturally knows a little bit about the tricks of those princes and princesses who take the opportunity of smashing bread to beat each other to vent their anger. Since this Allen general wants to play yin, then don't blame her for being rude.

Alan was inexplicably hit with two sticks, and just wanted to touch the bread to fight back, but he didn't expect Lydia to pretend to stumble to the side, turn around and raise her hands and smash them down at the same time, rewarding him with a "double blow." ”

Even Cruise could see from the side that this blow brought a lot of personal grudges.

Allen's eyes darkened, a snowflake floated in his mind, and he finally came back to his senses, and said again and again: "Thank you for the blessing of the princess, I can't stand it in Xia Fuyuan." ”

Lydia smiled lightly: "I can still meet my fellow villagers thousands of miles away, I am happy, I may have a heavier hand, please forgive me." ”

Alan roared in his heart: You still know that we are fellow villagers, and I am about to be killed by you!

However, he still smiled politely, "I am also very honored to meet the princess...... It would be better if we weren't rivals. ”

Lydia smiled silently, intending to see what moth he wanted to play again.

Allen's heart was crossed, and he simply asked bluntly: "That 'Black Ningxue' is a demon clan, there is no need for us to fight each other for a demon clan." ”

"There are always many reasons for war." Lydia said lightly, "If it can be solved with a few words, then there will be no war." ”

Alan knew that he couldn't convince Lydia, so he could only reluctantly smile, "Since it's a holiday, let's not talk about business." However, there is a soul sorcerer in our army, Amber, who admires the resourcefulness of the Lord of the Red Pavilion, and asks me to bring him a letter. ”

It is said to be a "letter", but it is actually a soul guide, and it seems that only people who understand soul art can activate it and hear the voice inside.

With Lydia's ability, it is naturally impossible to unlock this soul guide. After the ceremony, she took the soul guide and went to find Buxiao.

.

Don't laugh and are staring at the map in a daze.

The milk tea at hand was already cold, but I didn't take a sip. He just stood there motionless, until he heard Lydia's footsteps, and he looked up and asked, "Is it over?" ”

Lydia walked in with the soul guide in her hand, "It's over, a cunning little kid, I've been miserable. It seems that there is a little girl over there who adores you and has written you a letter. ”

"Little girl?" He asked.

Lydia placed the soul guide on the table, "It's called Amber, it must be a girl." ”

He glanced at the thing indifferently, "Not interested." ”

Not smiling and not interested in other women? The smile on Lydia's face grew brighter, but she said with a fake affection, "Don't you want to know what she wants to say to you?" Maybe it's an innocent little girl, maybe she'll whisper something or something......"

He picked up the cup of cold milk tea with a weak heart, and instantly dried half a cup, "Throw it away." ”

"Since you say so...... Lydia said in a mocking manner, "then I'm really ...... lost."

"Wait." Buxiao suddenly remembered something, "What did you say was that woman's name?" ”

"Amber."

Buxiao frowned: "I remember that when Daurson cheated to death, there were many things that his disciples came forward to solve, and that person seemed to be called 'Amber'." ”

Lydia was in a dilemma at the moment holding the soul guide, "So, what do you mean......"

Bu smiled and motioned for her to put the soul guide in the clearing, led her to retreat fifty steps, and asked the soldiers to set up their shields for defense. When everything was ready, a wave of soul energy flashed from his fingertips and shot away.

Rumble!

The soul guide burst violently, and a miserable blue poisonous mist instantly enveloped the clearing. With such terrifying power, Lydia not only turned pale: "What a sinister fellow! ”

Buxiao patted Lydia on the shoulder, "It's up to you tomorrow." ”

Lydia said angrily, "I'm going to stab that scumbag to death." ”

"There's something more important than poking him to death." Buxiao didn't know how to take out an onion from there and put it in Lydia's hand.
