Chapter 23: The Princess and the Assassin

Views:

Princess Luo Jie'an of the Kingdom of Saxony was currently lying next to a large group of men unable to sleep, not because she was not used to it, nor because of the cold. Everyone was given sleeping bags made of thick fur, and they also slept with their clothes on. In order not to be discovered, Princess Luo Jie'an even put a cashmere hat on her head. So far, no one has discovered her. identity of.

There is only one reason why I can't sleep┉┉

"Hulu~~Hulu~~"

"Hulu~~Hulu~~"

The loud snoring of the soldiers while sleeping made it impossible for Her Royal Highness, who was accustomed to the quiet atmosphere of the palace, to fall asleep no matter what. During the trip a few days ago, she had prepared everything and even brought earplugs to cope with this loud noise. The sound of snoring, but unfortunately she accidentally lost the earplugs she brought after entering the blizzard area. Now Princess Luo Jie'an was completely insomnia caused by these snoring sounds.

Princess Luo Jie'an sat up quickly and covered her ears haggardly, but the snoring sounds still penetrated unceremoniously. Looking at the people sleeping around, Princess Luo Jie'an was really at this moment. I envy these thick-lined soldiers who can still sleep in such a noisy environment. Although she is a princess, she has also developed a lot of perseverance in her daily martial arts training. She can endure those unpalatable picnics, wash herself in cold snow water, and lie down in a sleeping bag on a hard bed. I sleep on the ground┉┉but I really can’t stand the annoying snoring!

"I really want to sew all your mouths up with needle and thread." Luo Jie'an muttered angrily, picked up the sleeping bag, and picked up her beloved weapon wrapped in a strip of cloth from the side, Luo Jie'an slowly and walked out.

I would rather sleep with a wooly boll sheep than stay with these noise makers!

As soon as she walked outside, Princess Luo Jie'an suddenly found that the snowstorm seemed to have gotten a lot lighter. However, she was too sleepy now and had no interest in caring about it. Princess Luo Jie'an bypassed several soldiers who were keeping watch at night and quietly came to the long-haired tree under the big tree. Among the cotton boll sheep, one cotton boll sheep was gently knocked awake. Ignoring the other's dissatisfaction at being woken up, Princess Luo Jie'an pulled the cotton boll sheep and leaned against the other, sandwiched between the two cotton boll sheep. In the thick wool, Princess Luo Jie'an only felt warmer than staying in a tent. Lying down gently, Princess Luo Jie'an felt that she was almost covered by the wool. Princess Luo Jie'an changed her position and looked at the sky above. Dashu yawned and quickly entered the arms of the God of Sleep.

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

In the endless darkness, two white shadows quickly passed through Princess Luo Jie'an's heart. Like stones thrown into a lake, they stirred up ripples that impacted the soul. Luo Jie'an suddenly woke up from her sleep. Princess Jie'an stared blankly into the sky. A very familiar feeling seemed to pass through her heart just now. She wanted to grab it but escaped from her hand┉┉

While hesitating, a translucent white shadow passed in front of Princess Luo Jie'an in the sky.

Hallucination! ? Because the wool in front of her eyes blocked her sight, Princess Luo Jie'an thought she was dazzled for a moment. While she was thinking, a second shadow also flew past from above. Princess Luo Jie'an suddenly sat down among the cotton boll sheep. Get up, this time Princess Luo Jie'an didn't believe it was an illusion.

It was neither a beast nor a bird. Princess Luo Jie'an knew very well that when the second shadow passed by, it showed a figure similar to that of a human being. The daily martial arts practice has cultivated Princess Luo Jie'an's strong vigilance. She calmly took the weapon and skillfully removed the cloth strip on it. A silver spear was revealed, with a sharp carved head. With exquisite wind carvings, it is an extremely precious magic weapon.

Princess Luo Jie'an did not call the guards. After all, she was still not sure where the other party was. She might alert the other party and let him escape. And notifying the guards would definitely expose her identity. Master Gretel would definitely force her to do so. Take yourself back.

"It's a wonderful feeling┉┉" Princess Luo Jie'an walked forward quietly, as if something was attracting her.

The camp was very quiet along the way, and the soldiers watching the night seemed not to notice anything at all. Princess Luo Jie'an was a little surprised, because Master Gretel had already set up a barrier for warning before night fell, and two white figures entered. It shows that the barrier seems to be ineffective.

Relying on her inner intuition, Princess Luo Jie'an slowly walked to the tree house where Master Gretel was resting. For a moment, she felt as if she had disappeared here. A bonfire was lit in front of the tree house, and two guards were standing by the bonfire dutifully on guard. Princess Luo Jie'an was quietly lurking in the bushes nearby, watching the surroundings of the tree house uneasily.

Is the other party no longer here? Princess Luo Jie'an, who had been lurking in the bushes for a while, couldn't help but think depressedly. At this moment, Princess Luo Jie'an suddenly noticed that something seemed to be shaking on the tree house where the teacher was resting. Princess Luo Jie'an felt nervous and subconsciously clenched the tree in her hand. spear, and focused his sights above the tree house.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon there was indeed a shadow shaking on the tree trunk above the tree house. In Princess Luo Jie'an's eyes, it was like a translucent shadow blended into the flying snow, appearing and disappearing. It looks like, if you don't focus your eyes now, it will be difficult to find the other party.

"Is it an assassin?" Princess Luo Jie'an opened some branches and stuck her head out to explain the opponent carefully. At least one thing the princess was sure of was the attack, that is, the opponent was indeed a human being and not a beast.

There was another person on the other side. Princess Luo Jie'an looked around. There should have been two shadows passing in front of her just now. However, before Princess Luo Jie'an could take a closer look, the figures on the tree house had already started to move, quickly moving through the branches. There was no sound during the jump, and not even a drop of snow fell from the branches. The figure quietly jumped off the branch and slowly approached the guards near the bonfire. At this moment, the two guards had no idea that the god of death was approaching them.

Princess Luo Jie'an couldn't bear it any longer. She tightened her grip on the spear and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

While shouting out the voice, the spear in Princess Luo Jie'an's hand was thrown out with all her strength, shooting straight towards the figure in front of her like a flying arrow. The magic inscription on the head of the spear exuded a green shimmer, and in the wind element Driven by magic, the spear that flew out accelerated its speed.

Just when he was about to hit the target, the flight trajectory of the spear deviated slightly. The figure suddenly jumped to the side, and the spear that broke through the air only slightly tore the opponent's cloak.

"who are you"

The guards who reacted immediately focused their attention on the jumping figure along the direction of the spear's flight. They all drew out the long swords at their waists to warn the opponent, and the mysterious figure who left the shadow under the firelight also revealed his full appearance. ┉┉

Elf!

Not only the guards, but also Princess Luo Jie'an in the distance looked at the intruder in surprise. It was not that she had never seen an elf before, but the elf man in front of her had the same long silver hair and was wearing a white suit. The mask on the leather face concealed his appearance. At this moment, the elf also focused on Princess Luo Jie'an herself.

Before Luo Jie'an could react to what was happening, a guard had already blown the horn, and the sound of weapons being drawn was immediately heard in the quiet camp. A dozen soldiers were running towards here at full speed. Seeing this, the elf took two steps back without entangled with the crowd, and ran towards the night behind him as quickly as a cheetah.

"Stop! Catch him and don't let him run away"!

Several guards called their companions to carry torches and were about to catch up with them. Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind: "Don't chase me. The forest at night is too dangerous. Be careful and there might be someone else on the other side."

Gretel, Leilis and the other two mages had walked out of the tree house at this moment. The wizard had seen him when the elf left. After giving the order immediately, Gretel began to check the magic knots arranged. The magic barrier showed no response.

After turning around, Gretel asked the soldiers on guard: "What on earth is going on?"

"Master Gretel┉┉"

While Grete was talking to the guard, Princess Luo Jie'an quietly took back her spear. She looked carefully at the slight impact mark on the handle of the spear. It seemed that this was the reason why the spear that was flying just now deviated from the trajectory. Princess Luo Jie'an looked around carefully and searched the ground. Finally, Princess Luo Jie'an found a silver dart on the snow. She took it in her hand and looked at it before carefully putting the dart into her pocket. After standing up, she found a silver dart. Princess Jie'an suddenly found that the guard talking to Master Gretel was pointing at her, and Master Gretel also looked in the direction of the guard.

After swallowing her saliva, Princess Luo Jie'an pretended not to know and turned around, ignoring the guard who waved to her. Princess Luo Jie'an buried her head and walked forward. As she walked, Princess Luo Jie'an directly bumped into her. On one person, he raised his head uneasily. Master Gretel was standing directly in front of him.

Before Luo Jie'an could say a word, Grete directly took her hand and walked like a tree house. Princess Luo Jie'an was walking silently like a child who had done something wrong. The others looked at her in surprise. Grete took Luo Jie'an directly into the tree house, and Reilis followed behind and also entered the house.

After signaling her student Reilis to close the door, Grete took off the hat on Luo Jie'an's head. The silver-haired girl revealed her true appearance and was lowering her head without saying a word.

Reilis looked at the girl in surprise and asked, "Who is this child, Teacher Gretel?"

"Your Highness Princess! Why are you here?" Grete asked earnestly.

Princess! Relis was startled when she noticed the girl's silver hair and immediately thought of the princess who was rumored to have inherited the name of 'Silver Snow', His Majesty Rodlan's favorite daughter, Princess Luo Jie'an!? Thinking of this, Relis hurriedly knelt down. He knelt down and said, "I'm sorry! Your Highness, Princess."

Luo Jie'an didn't react at all to Lei Lisi's salute. She just murmured in response to Gretel's question: "It's Master Gretel who came with me."

At this moment, Gretel covered her head with a look of helplessness. She was not angry because of Princess Wen's willfulness, but felt sad about her own negligence. Such an important investigation actually allowed Her Royal Highness to sneak in: "Don't do anything now. Tell me, Lelis, I will arrange a few people for you to take Her Royal Highness back to Belika Fortress immediately."

"Please wait, Master Gretel!" Princess Luo Jie'an shouted hurriedly after hearing this.

Grete said without any excuse: "Her Royal Highness Princess Luo Jie'an's action this time is quite dangerous. You are the princess of a country. Please pay attention to your identity."

When she heard the word 'identity', Luo Jie'an seemed to be touched by something and said loudly: "Yes! Master Gretel, I am the princess of a country, but I don't want to be a decoration in the palace and a caged bird. , I hope to go out and see more of the world, please give me the last bit of freedom before I am locked in that birdcage forever.”

Gretel immediately realized the meaning of Princess Luo Jie'an's last words, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you already know?"

"I knew it earlier┉┉" Princess Luo Jie'an tilted her head and said sadly: "What my father loves most is not me but his country. The so-called princess is nothing more than a political bargain┉┉"

"So Master Gretel, please give me a little freedom at the end." Princess Luo Jie'an looked at Gretel firmly, but a tear slowly leaked out of her blue eyes.

Grete sighed and patted the princess on the shoulder in comfort: "But this journey is very dangerous. Even I can't guarantee that I can go back safely. Are you mentally prepared for this, Princess?"

Grete nodded firmly and stopped trying to dissuade her. He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess would never obey his orders and go back. Maybe Princess Luo Jie'an would take the opportunity to escape on the way back, so why not just take the Princess with her? It's actually safer around me.

"Relis, can you please keep what happened here a secret today?" Grete stood up and said to the students standing aside.

"Keep it secret?" Relis smiled evilly and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I don't understand what you mean. I didn't hear anything here. What's the secret?"

Grete nodded with a smile and turned to Princess Luo Jie'an and said, "Then, Your Highness, I would like you to continue to hide your identity during this time."

"I understand, thank you Master Gretel┉┉"

"Then, Your Highness Princess Luo Jie'an, please rest here for a while. I want to go out to check the situation." After saying that, Grete opened the door and left.

In the quiet room, only Luo Jie'an and Lei Lisi were left. Lei LiSi walked gently to Princess Luo Jie An and asked: "Your Highness, please forgive my presumption, are you really obedient like this?" Is it destiny?"

Sitting on the log, Luo Jie'an said calmly: "The moment I was born as a princess, I realized something. Maybe this is the fate of being born in a royal family."

Lei Lisi grabbed Princess Luo Jie'an's hand and smiled excitedly in the other's different eyes and said: "You are really the most courageous princess I have ever seen!"\
