Chapter 56: The Bronze Castle
When he opened his eyes and woke up again, he found himself lying on a blood-red goose down cushion.
He didn't know exactly what it was, only the pristine light brown walls and the many beautiful decorations on them.
Among them, there are some Ai Xingyan who have never seen before, such as the moving figure Xiao Xiang, the wall lamp that constantly changes colors, and even the magic hourglass that emits music......
At first glance, this seemed to be the interior of a castle, and Ai Xingyan reached for his waist, only to find that his saber was gone.
It must have been taken away when he was unconscious...... He pondered as a pale servant pushed the door open and approached the prince.
"Hello dear guests, this is the Bronze Castle, located in the deepest part of the riverside forest."
The corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow smile, but Ai Xingyan always felt that this person had some kind of strange aura on his body.
The pale complexion gives people a mysterious and strange feeling.
The flame-like black mist just now...... Ai Xingyan touched his head: Anyway, let's return the sword first, and then say goodbye to the master here......
However, the maid's words continued.
"It should be noted that the Viscounts of Sattar are taking a lunch break on the rooftop, so you must take a slight step into the dining room, and when you are done, I will guide you to an important place."
Ai Xingyan was slightly stunned.
I'm a little hungry indeed...... When he arrived in the dining room, he found that the long table was already full of delicious food.
After a long time, he followed the maid's guidance to a bedroom, and at last he found something strange.
The windowless bedroom looks like a cage, with many puppets of different colors piled up in the corners, but their expressions are exactly the same: they grin, like blood-stained young beasts.
There was still a faint fog in the air, and the sound of "squeaky squeak" gears was eerily loud from time to time, and Ai Xingyan turned the doorknob, only to find that the door had been quietly closed by the maid.
In the middle of the room was a white crib, which was empty, and the prince was about to leave, when a strange figure suddenly appeared from the bedside.
Ai Xingyan was taken aback.
Just now, there should be no one here......
At this time, he noticed that the other party was just a baby, with slender legs suspended in the corner of the bed, a pale face, and lips grinning with fangs.
Ai Xingyan was surprised for a moment.
This child's body seems to be shrouded in a layer of death......
Immediately after, he actually stretched out his hand again, and made a crisp but empty sound.
"My dear brother......" his lips slowly pursed: "I'm so cold, really cold, can you accompany me......"
However, when he said this, his breath weakened.
"Come here, only if you come, I can go home."
The faint voice made Ai Xingyan's heart cold.
This baby, what the hell is he talking nonsense?
At the same time, he was anxious to retrieve his sword, so in a panic, he began to speak.
"So, kid, do you know where my sword is?"
As soon as the words fell, he regretted it.
"In ......," but the baby tilted his head and gave the answer: "In the largest and most spacious sword hall." ”
Then, he picked up a puppet next to him, and gently played with it with his bloodless fingers.
"Brother, can you answer me a question?" In the pale bedroom, his voice seemed to be trying to break through some kind of inhibition......
"You know what? Brother Puppet, like me, is a child. ”
He suddenly let out a weird laugh and turned the puppet off.
"But the father and mother said there was only one child in the room."
"They also say that really good children are always motionless and like to look out the window, but I can't do it, am I making them angry again?"
"So, who's the real kid in this room?"
Ai Xingyan frowned, he felt the strangeness of the baby in front of him, and the whole extraordinary castle.
He didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to gather his breath, ready to break open the door.
But then the baby's gaze was fixed on his back.
"Even you don't want to be by my side?"
Ai Xingyan instantly felt a chill.
He hurriedly rushed out of the room and hurried towards the sword hall.
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
Strangely, the door of the hall was not closed, and Ai Xingyan walked in with all the courage to find that his saber was leaning in the corner of the hall.
He took a step, but the figures of the two suddenly appeared in front of the prince's eyes.
They were all dressed in sumptuous brocade robes, and the women among them wore shiny pendants.
It's the Viscounts of Sattar...... Ai Xingyan guessed.
Seeing Ai Xingyan coming in, they seemed unmoved.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to retrieve my sword, by the way, why are you waiting here so early?"
Viscount Sattar stomped forward, his face equally pale.
"I'm sorry, that sword has been booked as my child's plaything when he grows up, and at this moment, you can't take it away."
At the same time, his wife suddenly began to sob again.
"Just now my child came with a message from his heart, saying that this guest had left him."
"He is our own flesh and blood, but this young man who was rescued by us is not even willing to give him ordinary companionship."
Ai Xingyan looked at them dumbfounded.
Obviously, you took my sword first, and what's going on with "Heart Talk"?
This is a strange place, and I have to get out of here.
Immediately afterwards, the viscountess pretended to be aggrieved and pointed at the silver-winged prince Ai Xingyan.
"What a hateful fellow!"
As soon as the words fell, Ai Xingyan was furious.
"How can you be so forceful? I'm not your tool! ”
As a result, his palm gathered silver-white energy, which was a move called "Calling Sword in the Air", accompanied by a crisp dragon groan, and in the stunned gaze of the Sattars, the flying silver sword was once again clenched in Ai Xingyan's hand.
The next moment, he struck a shining sword wave in front of him, but the question remained deep in his mind.
"Who are they, why do they talk so strangely, and what is the matter with that pale child?"
However, before the prince could think about it, Viscount Sattar opened his arms and whistled softly.
In an instant, the Netherworld Gate was summoned, and many wild beasts leaped out of it.
It's a blade wolf...... Ai Xingyan recognized them at a glance.
