In the second half of the night, the palace was still heavily guarded.
At this time, a figure is sneaking and walking slowly and tremblingly in the palace... Ibn, the real Ibn.
He touched the back of his neck, and it always felt so painful. He kind of forgot what happened, but he knew that after waking up, he found himself hiding in a large water tank, and sneaked into the palace with him. The fake princess and the other two guys are gone.
So what happened
Ibn was completely in a state of information occlusion, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed many things, especially the guards of the palace seemed so strict.
Fortunately, he was wearing the clothes of a guard at this time.
"stop!"
At this moment, a low voice came from behind... Eben was startled, and his body became stiff. He swallowed, and turned around slowly.
I saw a group of six palace guards coming here with weapons in hand. It seems that they just happened to patrol here and saw Ibn who was sneaking here.
This Eben is also witty. At this time, he put his hands on the belt, pretending to be wearing the belt, and put on a nodding smile on his face.
The guards who came on patrol frowned when they saw it, and the leader even said angrily: "Are you crazy? This is the palace!"
"Too urgent, too urgent... There is really no way, brother." Eben looked aggrieved at this time, "You see I haven't rested all night... Can you accommodate me?"
"snort!"
But the head of this group of patrolling guards didn't believe it, waved his hand immediately, and received in a deep voice: "Now the palace patrols are in groups of six, but you are here alone, sneaky... I suspect You too were transformed by the Beast! Catch him!"
As soon as the head guard drew his sword, the other five guards all showed their weapons!
"Don't come over here!" Seeing this, Eben knew that this time he might not be able to let things go casually, he gritted his teeth immediately, imitating the appearance of these guards, and put his hands on his waist, ready to use his weapons to kill the net... um , He didn't have a weapon on his waist!
"Grab him!" The chief guard waved his hand!
The five guards all rushed towards Ibn! When Eben saw this, he was scared out of his wits, turned around and fled... It's just that he was not familiar with the palace, but after a while, he turned into a dead-end-like place.
Eben was stunned, gritted his teeth, didn't care about anything at this time, and climbed up to the wall with all his might, before the guards behind him chased him, he climbed over the wall dangerously.
The guards hurriedly stopped outside the wall, all with weird expressions on their faces... The chief guard's expression was as ugly as eating a dead mouse.
"This is..." A guard looked at the chief guard hesitantly at this time, "The former queen's former residence... us?"
"Damn it!" the chief guard gritted his teeth, "Chasing! We are chasing the prisoner! Don't be afraid...you go in first!"
All the subordinates: "..."
They still went in... From other places, they walked into this palace with many rumors. It is rumored that the former empress not only died here, but the grievances did not disappear after her death, staying in the palace. In this palace.
…
…
Eben failed to climb over the wall, of course he decided... not to climb again, although the result of failing to climb the wall this time is that he free-falls in a very indecent position and is very painful!
"pain pain pain..."
Supporting his waist, Eben got up in a state of embarrassment. He looked at the surrounding environment, only to see that there were no lights in the place, not only did not have the feeling that the palace was bright even at night, but it was even filled with a kind of ice-cold atmosphere unexpectedly. cold feeling.
He shivered subconsciously, and then quickly put his ears against the wall to listen to the movements of the palace guards on the other side of the wall.
After a while, Eben was slightly relieved when he heard the sound of hurrying away.
"Where is this place?"
It's just that the surroundings are too dark, he can't see the way around him clearly, he can only move forward... Darkness always makes people fall into an atmosphere of fear. A feeling of trembling in his heart, he always felt as if there was a pair of eyes watching him behind him.
Looking back several times, he seemed to see a strange shadow drifting in front of him. Iben was startled and frightened, but he didn't know where he was in this dark palace... completely lost!
At this moment, a flash of fire came from ahead, and Iben was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked towards the light source, only to meet the head guard and his subordinates who were chasing him all the way.
Eben shouted unlucky. Seeing that the six guards seemed to have found him at this time, and they ran like desperately, Iben couldn't help sighing, and simply stopped running, and let these guys Take yourself away.
It's not because he can't outrun these guards, but because he has already been seen clearly by the guards anyway. The City of the Sun is in the desert, surrounded by giant beasts, and there is no possibility of him leaving. Sooner or later, he will To be caught... instead of hiding around, it's better to go to prison for a few months!
The prices of goods in this City of the Sun are ridiculously high, and the real estate prices are even sky-high. Young people can't get along at all. In today's City of the Sun, the only way out for young people is to go to jail! You don’t have to pay for meals, you still have a place to sleep, and the prison friends around you speak nicely!
"Big brothers! I was wrong! I surrender! I voluntarily go to the prison... Can I be given a better cell? Wow, don't you need to welcome me so warmly?"
I saw that the six guards had no intention of stopping at all at this time, they ran towards Iben like crazy, and even pushed him away... They looked terrified!
"What happened..." After being pushed away, the book that fell on the ground rubbed the painful place, and hurriedly got up, but suddenly took a breath of cold air, "!!!"
He suddenly understood what the guards were afraid of just now!
What appeared in front of him was a tall figure... grey, furry all over, with huge fangs and scarlet eyes, and... a face like a ghost!
In the darkness, this terrifying thing suddenly appeared in front of him, and Eben's eyes went dark instinctively...but in an instant, he was overwhelmed with fright.
thump!
At this moment, the strange thing looked down at Iben who was lying motionless on the ground. After a while, seeing that Iben still had no response, he simply bent down and stretched out his hand, directly grabbed Iben's ankle, and slowly lifted him. dragged into the deeper part of the palace.
…
After the six guards hurriedly ran out of the place where the former queen lived, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were still full of fear.
"I've said it all... It's really fierce inside! You see, over the years, few people are willing to go in, not to mention the old man, even the maids are unwilling to come in and clean..."
"I... what should we do now? Will the queen's resentful soul settle with us... We have offended her resting place like this."
The head of the guards said in a deep voice at this moment: "Listen to me, no one is allowed to speak out about what happened tonight... If anyone speaks out, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he said that, the head guard pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed fiercely at the tree beside the road.
The guards nodded immediately, looking like they were keeping their mouths shut. After all, the former residence of the former queen, Pharaoh had already issued an order. I just intend to say that this is a guy who is suspected of being a giant beast caught outside!
"It's strange... Didn't the priests of the temple say that they have seen this place before, and that there is nothing wrong with it? Why is the ghost of the former queen still..."
"Shut up! As I said, no one is allowed to talk about this matter again... Do you see the big knife on my side!" said the head of the guard, pointing at the big knife still hanging on the tree trunk!
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to say anything more. After that, the head of the guards asked these people to go separately... to see if anyone found out that they sneaked into the former queen's former residence, and he was here to guard have a look.
In fact, it was the big knife that was cut on the tree trunk...it couldn't be pulled out.
He glanced back at the dark palace behind him, and always felt that the darkness in front of him was like the mouth of a gigantic beast, which was opening wide and devouring the palace.
Hmm... why can't it be pulled out
…
…
Claudia walked back and forth uncomfortably in the room of the real Her Royal Highness again. There were still white-robed guards outside the door, and there were twice as many guards as before.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a maid walked in slowly with a tray... There was no food on the tray, but a wine jug-like bottle and a cup.
Claudia was about to speak, but her complexion suddenly changed, because after the maid, another person came in... The high priest of the kingdom, the man who looked the same as her father, and even had the same name!
The High Priest was still dressed in a black robe, with expressionless eyes, making it impossible to see what was going on in his heart.
Claudia took two steps back subconsciously. After the maid put down the things, the high priest called her out... In the room, only Claudia and the high priest were left.
The high priest did not speak, but silently poured the contents of the jug into the cup, and then waved it like this, the meaning was very clear... He wanted Claudia to drink the contents of the cup!
Claudia was startled, forced a smile and said, "This... what is this?"
"It can make you forget a lot of troublesome things." The high priest held his hands in his wide sleeves and didn't approach them, so he said calmly: "Drink it, and you will have a completely different life... soon, you You won't feel sad things. Come, drink it."
The high priest's eyes seemed to have an incredible magical power, which made Claudia even feel drowsy at this moment... It felt like all her thoughts and reactions were stuck in a quagmire. She wanted to struggle, but the drowsy The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
Claudia's throat swelled quietly, and when she realized it, she had already walked in front of the table without knowing it, and even raised the cup with her hand, and was slowly bringing it to her mouth!
Claudia was startled... she was covered in cold sweat, her hands trembled, and she knocked over the cup on the ground... What came out of the cup was some light green liquid, and Claudia felt only horror at this moment , tremblingly said: "Why was I so careless... I'm sorry, High Priest, I failed your heart. No... But I think I'm actually quite happy now, and I don't need to drink this kind of thing that can make people happy... Haha, haha, ah...haha..."
She felt that she was about to lose her voice, and even wanted to turn around and run away... But reality doesn't allow this!
But seeing that the high priest was not angry at this time, he just picked up the cup silently, picked up the pot, and filled a cup of light green liquid again, "It's okay, there are many more here... Turned over, I still have a lot... more than enough."
The high priest directly delivered the cup to Claudia this time, and the feeling that made Claudia drowsy hit again, and she subconsciously reached out to take it... her hands were trembling, as if she was doing the last cup. struggle.
"Trust me, I won't hurt you...my princess." The high priest said suicidally at this moment.
The soft voice overlapped with the appearance of her father in Claudia's memory for an instant, as if her last rationality was crushed in an instant, her hand finally stopped shaking, and she took the cup directly and steadily , I am about to drink it like this.
The High Priest's eyes also gradually softened... Suddenly they froze!
Claudia, who was about to drink the liquid in the cup, suddenly threw the cup in her hand towards the high priest!
The liquid spilled out and splashed on the high priest's black robe, which immediately got wet... The high priest looked down at the clothes, but exhaled slowly. He glanced at Claudia .
I saw that Claudia's lips were dripping with blood... Apparently, in order to wake herself up, she finally bit her lips fiercely with the last bit of reason left.
"Drink something that makes people forget their happiness... I think it's that broken [holy water]!" Claudia seemed to be desperate at this time, although her face was pale: "I saw it with my own eyes... It was you who told the truth. The monster that Princess Yamalana turned into... It's you! This is not [Holy Water] at all... It's clearly poison!"
"Do you think so?" The high priest's expression still looked indifferent.
"What kind of giant beast pretended to be a princess to sneak into the palace and destroy the temple... It's all a lie!" Claudia said sharply at this time: "I see, you...you are the real giant beast! You want Use [holy water] to make everyone in the city look like Princess Yamanlana... You, you devil!"
Facing Claudia's accusation, the high priest opened his mouth, and then revealed a wry smile. His voice seemed to be a little tired, and he said slowly: "I haven't noticed, your Imagination is so good... Claudia, what have you been through these days."
"I have a good imagination? Huh, I'm just based on... wait?" Claudia couldn't help being startled at this moment, and then the whole person fell into a trance: "You...what did you call me?"
Her name...he...how did he know
