Chapter 53: She's a Devil in the Truest Sense of the Word
All the way, the hidden eyebrows galloped in the carriage like chicken blood, flying over dangerous shoals and cliffs, skimming the plains and official roads.
From midnight to dawn, from early morning to noon, she shook her whip mercilessly, without any tiredness, and if it weren't for the fact that Sesher couldn't stand the bump and forced her to rest halfway, otherwise she would have to continue on the road without stopping for a moment after changing horses.
"We've been galloping for almost twenty hours," Sether pressed weakly against his ribs, "Hidden eyebrows, this is the third time you've changed horses." Even if you're a god of war, you should think about the ordinary situations around you—like me?"
"In three more hours, twilight will fall, and if we stop now, we'll have to rest in the stinking dirty inn on the Mustang Road, where there is no shop in front of the village," she pulled out the crumpled parchment from her pocket, "and forty miles from here is the Blue Lagoon, where we will be better fed, and better rooms and more delicious meals." ”
She groaned for a moment as if she had made up her mind, then rolled up the parchment and stuffed it back into the placket, then turned to Sether and shouted, "Bear with me, we can get to Blue Lake City and the Banshee Forest is not far away, and we can have enough time to rest and search deep into the hinterland for the Soul Forge ." ”
Before Seser could answer her, the anxious Tie Hanhan slammed the door with a bang, and the hitch on the door hit Sesher's nose.
However, the good times did not last long, the road ahead became narrower and more difficult to walk, and Yin Xinmei had to make a detour, and when she deviated from the original route and drove the carriage to a rugged mountain road, she suddenly heard a click, and then the whole saddle bounced up violently, and she suddenly screamed in her heart that it was not good, so she immediately grabbed the reins and jumped down to check.
"What's going on?"
Sether also got out of the carriage, and when the two toughened heads fumbled, they found that the iron nails on the axles had fallen off at some point, and the iron pieces used for fixing were nowhere to be seen, and the edge wood in the middle of the wheels was sticking out a large section.
To make matters worse, the sky had changed from clear to cloudy, bats were scurrying in all directions, and dusk had fallen prematurely over the land, and ravens were hovering above their heads, making one sword after another
"I can't go any further," Sether, "I'll have to stay here tonight and find a cave to lay onto." ”
"Can you?" asked Yin Xinmei with some hesitation.
Sether suddenly looked back at her, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, "What? Do you think that since I am the Emperor of Weishengkai, I can't stand the pain of marching and camping?"
"Sakura, I didn't mean that. Hidden eyebrows pretended to frown and looked into the distance, but the exposed expression betrayed her.
"Since I was seven years old, I have often accompanied the army of Wissonkai at home and abroad...", when Seser said this, his face showed a complicated look, and his tone was mixed with all kinds of emotions, and for a moment he seemed to be stuck in the past, but soon, he shook his head slightly, and resumed his conversation, "Anyway, if you think I am a pampered emperor, then you are very wrong. ”
"But your face doesn't look like you'd be on horseback, marching to battle, Sether. ”
"So, don't be pretty," said Sether, taking the reins from the reins of his hand and leading the horse and carriage forward, admiring her curvaceous back from behind, "It's just that I haven't traveled with the army since I ascended the throne, and I have been busy with government affairs; perhaps," his slender white fingers stroked his cheek thoughtfully, "perhaps I have indeed spoiled myself in the past few years." ”
"Aren't you traveling with the army with the Golden Alliance and the Black Iron Army to the valley garrison of Jalal?"
"This can be regarded as a distraction, at most, I can only take two teams of men and horses abroad to travel and relax," the sky was becoming more and more gloomy at the moment, and the terrain in front of them slowly rose again, entering a vast valley, and Sether continued, "If I had expected that Nebujia would play this game for me, I should have prepared something good to meet him." ”
"This king of Babylon seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and I did not know that his army was more brutal than a wild beast. ”
"That's because you're unheard of, and you're lucky—you've never been sold into slavery in Babylon, are you? Otherwise, the stamps on your breasts wouldn't have stopped them from tearing your clothes apart. ”
At this moment, the two men and the two horses had climbed to the top of a gentle long slope, and in the distance were a touch of lush mountains, and not far from their feet, they could see a light gray avenue winding around the foot of the mountain.
To their left, in the faint afterglow of the setting sun, a light blue river could be seen glittering. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain and superior vision, Hidden Heart Eyebrow discovers a black spired fortress in the distant boulder basin that is lightly hidden by smoke and clouds.
She turned her head to look at Sether, whose gaze clearly fell on the black tip, "I remember the map for this piece of land, it should be called Cloud Castle. Are we going to stay there?"
"We're not going. Sether cut the railroad and said, "Follow me." ”
The evening breeze from the northwest brought raindrops, and although it was not gaining momentum at the moment, the gray sky and thick woollen clouds at the bottom of the pot were a sign of the bad weather that the night was coming. Hidden Eyebrows sensed a hint of uneasiness in Sether's tone, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask, but she wanted to know where he was going to take her. But she knew the weird temper, so she was going to knock it on the side.
"Sether," she slowed, walking shoulder to shoulder with him, "you've been to Jalal many times. ”
"Jalal and Wind Spirits are among the two countries in the League of Twelve's closest relationship with VIAPHKAI. Basically every time I go on a tour abroad, I visit both countries with the mission. The scenery is beautiful and there are many monuments, and Jalal is as beautiful as a cloud, drunk with money," Sether smiled sarcastically, "It's a man who likes it here, and I'm no exception." ”
"Are you familiar with this area?"
"It's more familiar than your body," Sether suddenly turned his head to her and gave her a strange smile, his hidden eyebrows had already been on guard against his explicit teasing, and at the moment his face was not red or panting, as if he hadn't heard, "but I haven't been here for seven years, and now it seems that the landscape here has changed a little, you see," his chin pointed ahead, and his hidden eyebrows followed it, and saw that the lowland under their right foot and the pine forest full of mountains and valleys behind them merged," I used to grow up there with soldiers playing games of horseback and killing, and it used to be an open area...... Now it looks like someone has transplanted an adult pine tree there," Sether's tone suddenly turned cold, "get out of here, we have to get away from there." I think there's a problem. ”
Seser retreated into a narrow canyon with hidden eyebrows, lined with cliffs and rocks, dark and quiet, and ancient trees intertwined and hanging obliquely on the cliffs. Hidden eyebrows boasted that he was a master of recognizing his way, but now he was also confused by Sether, it seemed that he was really familiar with this place, and he chose to walk on the off-the-beaten-path path, his eyes scanned around as alertly as a nighthawk, and his whole state was now the opposite of his previous relaxed and lazy state.
"You must know the owner of Cloudcaste, don't you, Sether?" asked him.
Sether's reaction was as she expected, he didn't say a word, he was silent, and the expression on his face was not cold or angry.
The two of them walked silently for a while, and now the color was completely dark, and the raindrops were falling, and soon, their clothes were drenched.
Just as the two of them hurried forward with their hearts in mind, two shouts were heard in the distance, first a low, long summons, and then a sharp, short answer. The voice sounded neither male nor female, neither human nor animal, and it made people feel creepy.
Then, a terrible darkness enveloped them, like some behemoth fluttering and flapping its wings over their heads. Yin Xin raised his eyebrows and looked up, but it was pitch black in front of him, and the darkness was so thick that it was almost palpable.
"Hidden eyebrows!" came Sether's cry from the dead darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
"I'm here!" she replied hurriedly, and then her wrist was clenched tightly by a warm, strong hand.
"We're waiting for this thing to pass. She felt Sether whisper in her ear, and his tone made her shudder—what the hell was this flying monster. And the two summons just now, no matter how you listen to them, they are full of death and evil.
In the darkness, time seemed to stop, everything disappeared in an instant, and only the sound of the wind flapping its wings and whistling and circling could be heard, followed by a sharp snort. Her whole body trembled, she was never a daring person, but this situation only made her feel creepy, and Sether was not too unusual, but his right hand clamped her became as hard as steel at the moment, and she almost screamed in pain, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his fierce emotions.
It seemed as if centuries had passed, and the terrible darkness had finally vanished, the rain had fallen again, the biting northwest wind had whistled again, and the air was filled with the green smell of earth and leaves.
When her eyes had adjusted to her surroundings, she saw the two horses beside her restlessly kicking their front hooves and shaking their manes, as if they were in a hurry to break free from the yoke of the carriage and find a bush to hide themselves.
Sether, on the other hand, turned pale.
"Sether!" she snapped out of his grasp, "you have to tell me, what the hell is going on, and who is the Lord of Cloudcaster?"
He lowered his eyelids and looked at his hidden eyebrows, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh, wiping the raindrops all over his face with his hand, and his voice couldn't hear any emotion, "Okay, I'll tell you." The thing that could fly just now was a four-winged snake. And," he paused, and spoke again with difficulty, "I do know the master of Cloudcaste. ”
"Who is he?" Yin Xinmei immediately asked.
"This is a woman, a hereditary royal family of Jalal, belonging to the lineage of Tantir. Her name was the Duchess of Windsor. "She's a true devil, a slut, and a murderer. ”
