CH.14 Get Out
Just as Leonard was thinking about how to escape with the idea given by Bright, he heard an unusual sound, as if steel was melting.
tu.duoyou.me then he noticed behind him, thin lines appeared on the rocky wall, and black smoke came out, as if the wall was being cut by something.
"What's going on?"
Leonard decided to wait a little longer.
Thin black lines moved slowly along the cracks in the rock, gradually drawing a rectangle on the wall, which meant that a door had been opened in the impregnable stone wall.
Leonard continued to wait.
The stone gate began to move slowly until there was enough space for one person to pass through guΓ².
A never-before-seen bird flew out from behind the door.
Leonard stretched out his right hand so that the bird could rest on it.
"Did you send it from Ai Xue?"
Obviously, this bird received an order from its master to rescue him, and in addition, there was only Ai Xue in the team who summoned it, and Leonard did not know how many summoned beasts Ai Xue had, so he had to make such a guess.
"Beep~"
The bird nodded.
"Judging from the ability and wisdom of Cheng DΓΉ, you should be a high-level demonic beast, this body size may be a juvenile. But then it's much easier. β
Leonard smiled confidently, "Since you can understand me, then go back and tell them to find a way to break away from the palace, and once I find an opportunity, I will rush over to meet them." β
"Beep~"
The bird nodded in acknowledgment and flew away.
Leonard carefully pushed the stone door into its place and sprinkled some dirt over the edges until he was sure that no one would be able to spot the details.
Then he walked over to the iron fence.
"Hey, is anyone there? I figured it out. β
Leonard's voice echoed over and over again in the gloomy basement.
Then he heard a rush of footsteps.
"Have you agreed to return to the arms of the Empire? β
The guard's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Yes, I was born in this sacred and great land. My ancestor Glick was a native of the Empire. Our family has been tainted with the blessings of the Imperial Family for hundreds of years, and it has not declined to this day. The thousand-year-old history of the Ningyue Empire deserves to be proud and proud of every citizen. β
"It seems that you have really figured it out, I will go and call His Royal Highness the Second Prince now, please be patient. β
The guard bowed, ready to turn and leave.
"Wait!"
Leonard hurriedly called out to the guards.
"What else do you command?"
The guard turned back and was respectful to Leonard.
"It's okay to return to the empire, but I have one condition. β
Leonard took out his chips, "I'm going to talk to Princess Icarus alone." I don't want her to have any misunderstanding, and I'll just say her well, so that it will be good for everyone. β
"This is naturally no problem, when you finish talking to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will inform Her Highness Grave. β
The guard said.
"Well, there's only one exit here, and besides, the fighting spirit has also been sealed, so it's impossible to run away. β
"That's natural. β
The guard left confident words before disappearing from Leonard's field of vision.
More than ten minutes later, Icarus appeared in front of Leonard.
"Ray!"
Icarus looked apologetic, "I'm sorry for dragging you down from the beginning. β
"What's the matter...... Over there, you don't mind opening the door and letting the princess in. β
Leonard said to the previous guard.
"It doesn't matter, you can't get out of here anyway. β
The guards opened the iron door and let Icarus in, "I know you have a lot to say, so I won't bother." β
"Ai Xue has found me. β
It wasn't until the guard's departure was confirmed that Leonard dared to open the skylight and say anything.
"Is there a way to get out?"
Icarus's emotions fluctuated, as if the man who had fallen into the water had grasped a life-saving straw.
Loneliness and loneliness, this is nothing in the eyes of Icarus before.
But after a year of freedom, she is no longer the canary of the past!
Now, she is eager to take to the skies!
"Let's meet up with Ai Xue first, and then we'll think of another way. Hurry!"
With refined words, Leonard slowly pushed open the stone door on the wall.
"You dug it?"
Icarus was puzzled, and without the support of weapons and vindictiveness, no one could break the rock-built barrier.
"I didn't dig it, it's Ai Xue's new pet, a little blue bird. β
After speaking, the figures of the two disappeared into the stone door, and then, the stone door was perfectly embedded in the groove of the wall again.
"From here, you should be able to reach Room 2. β
Leonardra took Icarus' hand and walked forward.
There is no light here, so you can't see the road at all, but fortunately there is only one tunnel.
Bang!
Leonard, who was walking in front, hit his head, and it seemed that the place was not as wide as expected.
"I had to crawl over. You go first, I'll take the back. β
Leonard gave the order to fight.
"Hmm. β
Icarus obediently crouched down, lying on the ground and preparing to move forward.
Leonard was just about to make a move when he suddenly discovered an important problem, that is, Icarus was still wearing a skirt, if he walked behind her...... Leonard's face flushed, and then he was relieved that there was no light here, nothing could be seen.
A year later, the two began their escape journey again.
He wanted to record every moment of his escape, but unfortunately he didn't have any engrams by his side that could do this.
"It's so warm here, it's different from what I imagined. β
Icarus said as he walked forward, "The walls of the passage are so smooth that they don't seem to look like dirt. It seems like...... It is ceramic. β
As Icarus said this, Leonard felt himself walking in a pipe made of ceramic.
Perhaps, this is the bird's special ability.
They could not imagine how such a channel could be formed.
In fact, it only takes high temperature and high pressure to transform some components of the soil into something like quartz.
And these two points are not difficult at all for the little phoenix who manipulates the flames.
"I see the light!"
Icarus cheered under his breath.
At the same time, in VIP room No. 2, several people were closing their minds to recuperate, and Silly Na was the same, but even if she fell asleep, she grabbed Ai Xue's hair and didn't let go.
"I felt like I heard a knock on the door. β
Zero, who has a keen senses, reported the phenomenon for the first time.
"Me too. β
As the knock on the door grew louder and louder, everyone heard it.
Just as Lena was about to open the door, Kaos suddenly stopped, "This voice is not coming from outside the door. It's below!"
Kaos's words alerted everyone that they had seen Icarus in the hole that Silly had punched.
"Shouldn't it be Leonard?
Seeing Icarus here was something Ai Xue never expected.
"Ray is right behind. β
Soon, the seven of them were reunited.
The biggest problem they face now is how to escape from the palace and escape from Moonlight City.
