One of the thirteen eternal guardian knight
One-third of house arrest and release
"It's too...too much...too much!"
Xilu paced back and forth in the room angrily, which was the most vivid portrayal of the so-called "tricken beast in a cage". No wonder she was so restless. At this moment, she was "invited" to the luxurious waiting room with loyd, Lena, Gerald and Irwin for a "rest". However, as soon as you look at the number of guards outside the door, I'm afraid this is not just a "rest"...
"It's just imprisoning us!"
Lena tried her best to look at the corridor through the crack in the gate:
"The number of guards is at least 15... Now it's 20! This is not what the queen said, 'Thank you for your hard work, please relax your tired body'! We are still going to be punished!"
"Loed too! The previous saying 'everyone came to welcome us back' made us happy for a while... I didn't expect that it was just a means to lure us to take the bait! Before I said a few words to everyone, I was brought here by the queen... Those guys in Kik were actually bought by the queen so easily..."
Xilu gritted her teeth and beat the sofa desperately, as if she regarded it as Kik, or loyd, or maybe the queen. Loyd sat aside and looked a little sad:
"I didn't expect that things were really not so optimistic... Did my intuition completely deceive me this time?"
"Your intuition or something... is only useful on the battlefield! We can't predict what our way forward will be!"
"Because I'm not a soothsayer! Don't sprinkle all your anger on me. In the final analysis... The cause of everything is that your Majesty is angry because of your acting arbitrarily, right?"
"Even... even you said that to me! A knight... What a bold man!"
"I'm just telling the truth, and... the knight has the responsibility to tell the truth to his master!"
"Then don't insult me so bluntly! And...and it has something to do with your dereliction of duty! If you had dissuaded me well at that time, maybe I wouldn't have made such a decision... Even if we took a step back, we had no way or no right to refuse at that time! After all, Silas is the real protagonist of this operation, and our supporting actors are simply..."
"Please don't look for excuses for the mistakes you have made..."
"What are you talking about! How dare you talk to me in that tone..."
Two "bangs", two small water balls exploded on their heads, wetting a pair of heads in the quarrel. Gerald stood up angrily with a magic wand:
"You two! Calm down! What time is it now? If you have that kind of time to quarrel, you'd better sit down and discuss the next plan..."
"You guy...who do you think you're talking to!"
Erase the water droplets on her face, Xilu pulled out her fist and was ready to teach her opponent a lesson. The grunting fierce cat made Gerald take two steps back, and Lena, who was on one side, suddenly rushed up and blocked Xilu:
"If you want to do it, just do it well with Lena! We haven't had a good fight along the way!"
"The hateful wine girl..."
Knowing that she was by no match for Lena in hand-to-hand combat, Xilu hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to save her face and retreated. Alvin, who had been silent, also had to stand up:
"Calm down, both of you. Now even if you die, you can't solve the situation. And... I was innocently implicated because of you! Don't forget that I've been riding two warships with you... Even I didn't complain to you. Why do you have to be so murderous?"
"Hm..."
Based on the law of receiving as soon as it is good, the two ladies glared at each other and then happily settled down on one side. Loyd and Gerrard also breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thank you, Alvin. Without your dissuasion, I don't know what's going to happen today. But... I'm really sorry to implicated you..."
"To be honest... When I knew that Miss Xilu was the queen's stand-in, I was really shocked and quite uneasy, because at that time, I vaguely felt that what Miss Xilu had done would pull us into a terrible abys that we could not escape... Just like today. However, I finally chose to stand by her side, perhaps because I believe that Miss Xilu is a person who can work miracles!"
"I'm really...so sorry. It seems that what I brought you is just a disaster..."
After listening to Alvin's sincere confession, Xilu lowered her head with shame. Alvin waved his hand in confusion:
"No! I didn't mean that at all... And, after all, we returned safely from Heland under your leadership! Even if it's just this, I want to thank you very much, Miss Xilu. As for today's situation... In fact, I don't care much, let alone be afraid, because young people like me should experience everything to grow up..."
"You are really an optimistic guy, Mr. Alvin... This is really similar to Lena, so Lena likes you a little..."
While joking, Lena leaned her face towards the other, and Alvin moved aside nervously:
"I'm so sorry... I don't like girls older than me."
"Ah... it's really boring!"
Lina took her head back with an unhappy face:
"But...don't you like Miss Lulu? She is older than me..."
"That's different, because she is my sister."
"Humph... It looks so old, and the tone of speech is really mature... Nowadays, young people are all this annoying, and they don't know what innocence is at all..."
"You are not the same! No matter how you look at it, it's 16 years old. Don't dictate to your peers... Whoo-ah-ah-!"
Gerard made a small accusation, but Lena casually twisted her arm:
"What are you talking about! Repeat what you just said!"
"It's going to... break! Sorry, sorry! I didn't say anything..."
"If there is another time... it will really turn down!"
Lina let go of her hand and sat aside as if nothing had happened and began to hum an unknown country song. Xilu stuck out her tongue at Gerald with a look of watching the play:
"It's very happy to have such a violent person around, isn't it?"
"You are not qualified to say that about me... Anyway, you are not the same fierce to loyd! You are really like a pair of sisters, and the style of doing things is the same... The question I'm most concerned about now is who will die first, loyd or me?
"What a messy idea you have... but it's also interesting to think like this! So Lena, let's bet as Gerald said! Which one dies first..."
"You two, that's the joke."
Although the two girls always draw their swords as a gift, once they are involved inexplicable topics, they will quickly reach a consensus and get along with each other on the same front... Worried that the two of them will pull the topic to a completely borderless space, loyd clapped their hands to signal everyone to calm down:
"Now we should have a good discussion about the next plan... Although Her Majesty's motivation for our house arrest here is not clear, we cannot rule out the possibility of interrogating us or even death. So we should at least find out some words first... Lena, you should be able to do it, right?"
"Of course, it's okay to inquire about information or something, but now we can't even get out of this room... How do you want me to go and who should I ask?"
"I've just seriously considered this... In fact, it's not difficult to do."
Lode pointed to the top of the gate. Lena raised her head along his hand:
"You mean...climb through that window?"
"Can you do it?"
"Of course, I can't do it, idiot! Such a high place... Lena is not a gecko!"
"That is to say, as long as you can be sent to the window, can you come up with a way?"
"Of course! Unless it is a window with a magic boundary, it is no different from a piece of paper for Lena. But how can you send me to such a high place?
"Use the height of Gerrard and me... maybe we can do it."
"You mean...step on the shoulder?"
Lina stood up and made a two-time gesture and shook her head dejectedly:
"I can't do it. Even if I step on your shoulders... but if my feet are not strong, it is still impossible to jump to such a high place. After all, the skin of the shoulders is not as strong as the land.
"I can do this. Then Gerald, you as the base, and I'll step on your shoulder."
Ah? Am I the base?"
Comparing the figure gap between the two, Gerrard couldn't help but panic:
"No matter how you look at me, I'm much thinner than you. How can I support you?"
"As long as you can hold on for a minute... No, half a minute is enough. Xilu and Alvin will help you fix your body. There will be no problem.
"But..."
Gerard was still hesitant, and Lena punched him in the back with dissatisfaction:
"Men should be brave! Just stepping on the shoulder is not cutting your head. What is that depressed look? Do it well according to loyd's words!"
"Really... I will never do this kind of thing again! Keep it in mind, loyd!"
Gerard muttered and stood by the door and squatted down, and Loide carefully stepped on his shoulder:
"Stand up, Gerrard."
"I don't care if I fall down... Um!"
Gerard straightened up hard and then was slightly shocked:
"Loed... Are you standing on my shoulder? Your body is too light! It's exactly the same as what I imagined!"
"This... is probably the reason why I usually pay attention to maintaining it! Because to fight against powerful enemies at any time, weight is a problem that must be paid attention to..."
"Is that so... Xilu, do you know how much loyd weighs?"
Ah? Why did you ask me?"
"If he presses you... your intuition will be more real, right?"
Xielu raised her foot and pointed it at some part of Gerrard:
"If you say that again... I will kick your 'tight'!"
"Oh...! I didn't say anything... I'm so sorry..."
Gerard's face twisted, showing inexplicable pain:
"So...please hurry up! Although loyd is very light, I won't hold on for long... Can you help me aside?"
"Be careful!"
Sielu and Irwin stood on Gerald's side and supported him. Loyd adjusted his posture and waved to Lena:
"Lena, jump up."
Lena adjusted her breathing, trotted two steps and jumped up hard, then took Alvin's shoulder as the platform and jumped straight to loyd.
"Ready!"
"?"
Before Lena could understand what loyd's "preparation" meant, her legs had been firmly hugged by loyd. Lena twisted her body in panic:
"What...what are you doing!"
Because she was wearing a skirt, the skin of her thighs was enjoyed by Loyd without reservation... Although she usually had a big temperament, Lena still blushed and was about to ask again when her body suddenly took off.
"Wow!"
It turned out that loyd held her thigh to take advantage of her extra effort after she took off to send her to the window? Lena quickly adjusted her figure, grabbed the edge of the window steadily like a gecko, and then sat on it. Although the whole action was completed smoothly, I knew that she was quite frightened when she was in the air...
"Really... remember it!"
Lina made a big grimace at loyd and then began to deal with the glass on the window. Loyd jumped off Gerald's shoulder and sincerely praised:
"It's worthy of being an apnomer... Sure enough, it's not a procrastinate."
"I said you guy... In fact, you can do this kind of thing, can't you? Aren't you a mercenary like Lena?
Gerard rubbed his shoulder and complained, and Loed just shook his head:
"I can't do it. Although they are all mercenaries... But for example, I am a mercenary who is good at confronting Griffin head-on, and Lena's specialty is to quietly assassinate Griffin from behind.
"So that's it... In other words, you are equivalent to a Silas barbarian, and Lena is the standard Haier Milan nobleman..."
"What a ridiculous metaphor! All right, put the words away and don't let the guards outside the door find out our action plan. Lena has begun to work..."
Lena, who was sitting by the window, had silently removed the glass from the window, then carefully threw it to loyd below, and then poked her head out. After confirming that he would not be found by the guards below, he slowly leaned out half of his body...
"Little...be careful..."
Gerald whispered below in a low voice that most of Lena's body had drilled out, and two minutes later, her white legs also disappeared into the window. Then everyone was greatly relieved:
"It's not a gecko... She is better at climbing walls than a gecko! Mercenaries... I really don't understand how they are trained!"
"Of course, it was trained from hell, without any exaggeration."
Loide gently put the glass in his hand aside and then sat down on the sofa:
"Now we just need to wait for the news Lena brings back... huh? Have you come back yet?"
"?"
Everyone looked up... Lena was crawling back with a panicked face and made a gesture of "I'm going to jump down" and fell down. The three men hurried forward to catch her body together:
"What are you doing, Lena! It's too dangerous to do this in case..."
"Thank you for worrying about Gerard! But I don't have time to say this... everyone! Get ready to rush out!"
"Why...? What happened to make you so nervous?
"I just climbed out and heard someone below saying, 'Let's do it as soon as the judgment has come down', and that person seems to be a senior knight officer! He probably meant to attack us, didn't he? It seems that we have really been sentenced to death!"
"How can it be...!"
Xilu opened her eyes and showed an "unbelief" attitude, and Gerrard had squatted down with her head in her arms:
"Sure enough... still can't be done! It seems that we are really doomed this time..."
"But this is too strange!"
Alvin suppressed his nervousness and tried to find a reasonable explanation from it:
"Even if we are sentenced to death on the charge of 'overview', it must be jointly interrogated by the high priest and the council, and then together with the Queen's final resolution can be implemented! In just half an hour, the death penalty was suddenly issued... This is completely inconsistent with Haier Milan's law!"
"You idiot! It's reasonable to do this! Hello, Miss Xilu, and Gerard... are all prominent nobles of Haier Milan, aren't they? If you are to have a public trial or even a death sentence, you will definitely be hindered by many parties! That's why I decided to carry out secret execution in private... This is also a common thing!"
Hearing Lena's reasonable analysis, Alvin felt speechless for a moment, and even Xilu began to tremble:
"So... what should we do? Although I am loyal to Haile Milan and Her Majesty... I am not willing to be cut off like this! Loyd, what do you think we should do?
"Is what Lena just heard... true?"
"Of course, I heard it wrong! Lena's hell ears will never have any problems!"
"Then...it seems that we can only take risks!"
"Adventure?"
"Of course, the best result is to get Her Majesty's forgiveness... But if you can't do it, you can only take Her Majesty away from the royal city and think of other ways..."
"Isn't that equivalent to rebellion! That kind of thing can't be done anyway!"
Xilu's heart began to pound, and she was frightened by the consequences of the rebellion, so she refused to agree with LOYD's proposal and constantly refuted it with reasons such as "loyalty" and "honor". Lina, who couldn't stand it, stared at her fiercely:
"If you still stick to these meaningless things, you can be beheaded! As soon as the head falls, what's the meaning of loyalty and reputation! Even if I add such titles to you later, it will be of no value to the dead!"
"But...but..."
"That's it! I have a suitable idea to take us out without affecting your family's reputation... as long as you are considered to be coerced! Anyway, neither Mr. loyd nor I are nobles in Shanghai Milan... loyd can only be regarded as nominal, right? That's enough!"
"So...what are you going to do? What does coercion mean?
"Of course..."
Lena suddenly flashed beside Xilu and made a series of dazzling movements. When Xilu woke up, she found that she had been tied up, and the sudden change made her jump up:
"What...what are you doing, bartenderess!"
"Ah! Lena's technique is still very sharp... Mr. loyd, do you want me to teach you that? In the future, if Miss Xilu is rude to you, you can easily tie her up..."
"Don't teach him such meaningless skills! Let me go..."
Xilu struggled hard to get rid of the bondage of the rope, but Lena's method was really different. The more she struggled, the tighter she became, and in the end, she could hardly move. Lena's face couldn't help but smile strangely:
"And... you can also do some interesting things..."
"Interesting...things?"
"That's right..."
Lina whispered in Xilu's ear, and Xilu's face suddenly turned red:
"Where did you learn that shameless thing! Throw it all into the garbage!"
"Ah... That's all for the joke. Next, let's take action! First of all, we will take Miss Xilu as a hostage... Before she is beheaded, at least Miss Xilu is still a great aristocrat in her country and should be of sufficient value. We will use this method to get out of here first, and then find a way to meet the queen. If Her Majesty is unwilling to change her mind, then we will find a way to hold her hostage..."
"I really can't do it! This kind of dangerous thing..."
"You just need to be tied up, Miss Xilu, and leave the rest to me and loyd to do! Speaking of which... there seems to be footsteps outside! Has it arrived yet? That's just right... Anyway, there are not many more hostages or anything!"
"Huh...Huh? Wait...wait, accompany the barn..."
Xilu wanted to stop her and couldn't take action, but Lena had already stood at the door murderously. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xilu tried her best to wince at loyd and others, but the three men also seemed to agree with Lena's approach, with no intention of blocking her, but looked like "just let her do it".
"What should...do..."
The knock on the door has sounded. Lena smiled strangely, reached out and grabbed the handle at the door lock, and then pulled it with lightning speed. The people outside the door were caught off guard and staggered into the door:
"You..."
"Don't resist! You are now a hostage! Follow my instructions obediently, and it won't hurt your life..."
Lina put the dagger on the other party's neck, and then touched the rope to tie it up according to the original plan. Alvin, who was standing behind in a frenze, suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Wait... wait a minute, Miss Lena! Yes... it's my sister!"
"...ha?"
"It's Sister Lulu! Stop..."
Although Lena withdrew her hand in time and hid away at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, the angry flood still surged, and in an instant flooded the waiting room, and then swept the crowd through the window and flowed outside.
"It's really... the long-lost 'Water Witch'..."
loyd, who struggled to stand up, picked up his twisted companion while thinking about how to explain the context to Lulu in his anger. If his reason could not satisfy her, he would definitely be attacked by another flood... No matter how hard he struggled, it seemed to be annihilation, which made him distressed.
