Chapter 153: The Bridge in Memory
"Oops, is it already dawn?" Gellant muttered quietly.
"Is there any other way out here? The effects of the invisible magic potion have passed. Joshua asked, "Looks like we're going to have to rush out." ”
"The basement seems like there's just one door, so ......," Byron thought.
"Looks like we're going to have to rush out. "It's just that this is the Prime Minister's Tower, and it's easy to alarm Parsa." ”
"Then they won't have a chance to call the police......" Byron frowned and touched his chin.
The interior of the Prime Minister's Tower is almost a no-brainer, as previous prime ministers have often complained about the structure of the tower, which has only two steps on each floor, and all of them are spiraling upwards. Then there are air windows outside the staircase on each floor to reach the surface of the tower, but another spiral staircase awaits them. Therefore, they only have a 1 in 2 chance of being safely evacuated from the Prime Minister's Tower. But if it's someone who wants to catch them, just seal off all the corridors on both sides.
Fortunately, the soldiers in the Prime Minister's Tower were no problem for Byron and Geraint, but in their hearts they would rather be in those walled towers, courtyards, and corridors like a vast labyrinth of gray stone. And because of the relatively old part of the castle, the countless halls in the Prime Minister's Tower are tilted around, which is easy to make people feel that they don't know where to be, like a huge stone tree that is constantly overgrowing, with twisted branches and intertwined roots, and it is easy to feel depressed and dizzy on the way to escape.
Three people were posted on the door of the basement. Byron looked at the crystal in his hand and found that the black gas inside had been constantly scurrying. "I remembered that Ruona had told me that if it was magic she hadn't seen, the crystal would have saved some of the information. Byron smiled, "Send the crystal to Jona early, and then all the questions will be answered." ”
Byron was glad that the wooden door to the basement was open inward, so that they wouldn't alarm the guards as soon as they opened it.
Geraint first sneaked open a small crack in the door, and then several people quickly hid behind the door.
"What's the matter, when did the door open?" shouted one of the guards, "those two guys must have gone to bed yesterday without closing the door tightly." ”
"That's right, we must let them treat us well when the time comes, or let the Prime Minister know that their lives are not in danger. Another soldier responded.
"Hahaha!" the two men laughed at each other and grabbed the doorknob as they prepared to close it. However, they suddenly found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not close the door. After all, Byron and Geraint's strength was many levels higher than these guards, and a little use of fighting energy was enough for them to be unable to pull the door.
"Hell yes, let's go in and see what's going on......"
The two walked into the basement, then turned around, ready to push the door. "It's so strange why this door can move inside, and we can't close it after all our efforts?"
But before they could figure out the reason, a figure quickly appeared behind the two of them, only to hear two "pops", and the two guards were knocked unconscious to the ground by Geraint before they could make a sound.
"Hurry up and change their clothes......" Byron beckoned. The two then stripped off the guard's clothes and changed them onto themselves.
"Magic flares!" Byron found two red projectiles from the clothes of the two guards, "Parsa is really cautious, even in the basement deep in the Prime Minister's Tower, she is well prepared for emergencies. ”
"But what do I do?" Joshua looked at them with a stunned pair of eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you want to be wronged...... Byron thought for a moment and said, "the appearance of a child in the Prime Minister's tower will definitely make people suspicious, you can pretend to be a dwarf." ”
"That's right, there are some gnomes in the Prime Minister's Tower who are servants, it's just that this costume ......," Geraint replied.
"Let's just say it's new to report, anyway, let's get out of here......" Byron waved his hand.
The three of them walked through the seemingly intricate but actually meandering staircase to a window in the middle. The Prime Minister's Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the Imperial Palace, so you can already enjoy an unobstructed view of the Imperial Palace. In fact, Joshua also liked the feeling of the vastness of the floating city unfolding in front of him when he was a child. The bustling and bustling crowds of people in the castle were at his feet, and the birds in the sky were hovering overhead. Joshua often rested on his sword practice, so he lay on top of the castles in the palace, among the statues of the flying dragon, whose shapes had long since disappeared, and had been polished by the wind, frost, rain and snow, overlooking the city. It's just that because he lost his memory in the palace coup many years ago, he can't remember those things at all.
Floating City is a special castle that floats in the air, like a mountain, but has no mountainside or foothills, only a stone path to enter. Therefore, as long as you stand in the tall buildings in the city, you can have a panoramic view of the rolling hills around the floating city, as well as the streams and canyons. As a child, Joshua stumbled upon an airtight bridge that led directly from the fifth floor of the Prime Minister's Tower to the third floor of the Nest Tower. He also knew how to enter the inner walls of the palace through the stone gate on the west side, and climbed two floors along the staircase to find a narrow stone walkway that went around the inner walls of the palace and finally reached the bottom floor of the south gate of the palace, which was in the shadow of the hundred-foot-high wall.
"Can you follow me?" Joshua stopped suddenly. He felt his head start to swell, but the sight before him was familiar. "Isn't this a palace, why do I always feel as if I've walked the same path?"
"Your Majesty, do you know what secret passages are here?" asked Byron.
"I ...... I don't know, but I have a vague picture in my memory...... Uh, my head hurts......" Joshua hugged his head, a pained expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it if you can't think of it......," Geraint was very distressed, "We just retreat according to the original plan, although it is a bit risky." ”
Joshua struggled to remember the secret passages that weren't secrets, even though he should have known them all about. When he was a child, he was already familiar with the various hidden paths in the palace. Of course, some of the trails were very high and dangerous, and his mother even made up stories to scare him many times in order to stop him. There used to be a disobedient child who liked to crawl around in the towering castle all day long, but one day it rained heavily, and he was unfortunately killed by a thunderbolt. But Joshua was unmoved, and was keen to look out over the sights of the floating city and beyond.
"Wait, you trust me once. Joshua pinched the ends of his forehead with his thumb and forefinger, his eyes closed to relieve the pain, "I will be able to recall the ......"
Geraint's heart was very anxious, after all, the corridor in the Prime Minister's Tower was very narrow, and it was difficult to find a place to hide as long as someone found them here, and it was relatively safer to be treated as patrolling soldiers on the wall outside the tower. It's just that this time Joshua insisted that they follow him, and I absolutely can't disobey His Majesty's orders, Geraint thought to himself.
"Are we on the fifth floor here?" asked suddenly, Joshua opened his eyes.
"That's right, it seems to be the fifth floor. Byron responded.
"Quick, follow me, there's a closed bridge that leads to the third floor of the nest next door. Joshua walked over to a wall diagonally across from the window.
"It's a wall that can be pushed. At this moment, Byron gently tapped the stone wall in front of Joshua with the back of his hand.
Before he could hesitate, Geraint was the first to step forward, using his hands and feet together, pushing hard against the wall in front of him. Sure enough, the stone walls began to loosen, creating displacement. In fact, this secret door can even be pushed by Joshua as a child, and Geraint is a bit of a fuss. He found this as soon as he exerted his strength, and the stone gate was very loose, and he quickly withdrew his hand, but also stumbled a few steps and stumbled into the bridge.
"No one has cleaned up here for years, and it seems that no one knows about it......" The smell of dust was everywhere in the bridge, and Geraint kept fanning his nose with his hand.
"That's it, I shouldn't have mentioned it to anyone else, did I?" Joshua muttered to himself......
