260: Night into the castle
When Lilith had finished speaking, she immediately got up and walked towards the castle. Elrence hurriedly stopped her and said, "Slow, you are walking back so swaggeringly, it is inevitable that you will be seen by many people, in case the rebels hear the news and go back again, wouldn't it be extraneous?"
The noble lady was stunned: "But these guards on patrol are all my father's subordinates, so shouldn't they collude with the Eastern Romans?"
Jole shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. ”
Lilith couldn't help but hesitate, frowned, and said, "What should I do then?"
Elrens thought for a moment and said, "Where is your father's room, I'll take you directly and sneak in quietly." ”
Lilishi said with a bitter face: "My father's room is in the middle of the castle, and there are guards in front of the door and the window, so it is not difficult to enter, but I am afraid it is impossible to completely avoid everyone's eyes." ”
Elrence smiled in his heart, it was not impossible to completely avoid everyone's eyes, and he just killed someone when he touched it. However, this naturally cannot be said, otherwise I am afraid that this noble lady will be frightened, and Oni will not agree.
So the evil dragon thought for a while and said, "In this way, who else in the castle you trust more, and the place where you live is sparsely guarded, can you think about it?"
Lilith lowered her head and thought for a moment, then replied, "It occurred to me that the old steward of the castle, Elope, had followed our family for generations, and had watched me grow up, and was absolutely faithful to my father, and he lived near the side gate of the castle, where the guards were sparse, and it should be easy to avoid others. Why don't we go find him first. ”
Elrens nodded, and immediately picked up the noble lady and set off. He was very nimble, bending over and jumping from tree to tree in the night. Soon it was around the side and back of the castle. It's a cliff that is difficult for the average person to climb without tools, but it's easy for dragons. He jumped to a bush above the cliff and saw a thick wall covered with long vines and moss. It was surrounded by a mess of bushes, with a small gate in the middle, and there was no shadow of a guard.
Lilith whispered to Elrens, "There is no fixed sentry here. But guards pass by every ten minutes, and we'd better wait for them to pass before we move. ”
"Okay. ”
The evil dragon nodded indifferently, and his voice just fell. At the corner of the city wall, a group of four guards, dressed in light armor with Apollo markings, armed with a shield and short sword, walked and looked left and right.
After a while. The guards walked to the other corner and vanished. Elrence jumped up with Lilishi on his back. Two steps to the side door. He took a closer look, only to see a thick iron lock on the handle at the door, of course, this is not difficult for the evil dragon, he reached out and grabbed the lock of the iron lock and pinched it gently, only to see a soft sound of 'pop', and the iron lock was broken in half by him.
Elrens gently pushed open the side door, then turned back and beckoned to Lilith, who immediately followed. Behind the side door is a short walkway. At the end of the alley, there were three small alleys, and Lilith pointed to the middle alley and whispered, "We will walk from here to the room of the old butler Elope." ”
The dragon nodded. After closing the side door, they immediately carried Lilith on their backs, and soon they reached the back of the middle alley
It's a small courtyard, and next to it is a separate log cabin, which looks like it has been built for a while, and looks quite old.
"This is it, let's go over. With that, Lilith jumped down from behind Elrens, and together they walked to the front of the cabin and knocked lightly on the door.
"Who?!" a vigilant voice sounded from the horse in the cabin.
"Daddy Elope, it's me, I'm Lilith, I'm back!" cried out the noble lady in a low voice with unconcealed excitement.
"Miss, are you back?!" the voices in the room became more agitated, only the hurried footsteps of thumping were heard, and the wooden door was creaked open.
Inside the door stood a middle-aged and elderly man about fifty or sixty years old, he was wearing a simple gray robe, his face was full of excitement and excitement: "Miss, you are finally back, since you have always been worried, everyone is worried about death, fortunately you are safe and sound! Don't say so much, you can sit down first." ”
With that, he took Lilisy's hand and walked into the room, sat her in a soft chair, and then poured another cup of hot water and handed it to the noble lady. Elrence quietly followed, and carefully observed the surroundings, only to see that the room was very simple, except for some simple basic furniture, but on the table near the window was a very fine porcelain vase, which seemed to be a precious antique from the country of Nine Phoenix, far away in the east.
"Miss, what happened after the lord escorted you out of the city, could it be that those Eastern Roman rebels discovered you...... Huh, who's this guy?"
After holding Lilishi's hand and saying a few words, Eloper suddenly realized the existence of the evil dragon and asked in surprise.
Lilith smiled reluctantly and said, "Daddy Elope, this one is Lord Elrens, he is a powerful knight, this time I was kidnapped by the rebels, and it was all thanks to his help that I escaped from danger!"
"Oh......" Eloper looked at the dragon, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Thank you very much for escorting our young lady back, now that she has returned to the castle, she is 100% safe, you don't have to worry...... Some of the lords here have handed over the money, so I'll give it to you as a thank you!"
As he spoke, the old butler took out a cloth bag from under the organization and handed it to Elrens. The evil dragon glanced at it, the cloth bag was heavy, and it was estimated that there were a lot of gold coins in it, which seemed to be worth at least one million lites (the basic unit of Olympia currency). The butler was bold in his move, but listening to his tone, he seemed to be in a hurry to let himself go. Naturally, Elrens couldn't leave now, and this money was not his purpose. So the dragon smiled, neither reaching out nor speaking.
Eloper held up the cloth bag and said a little embarrassed......ly, "Don't you think it's enough?
