King's Prince (1)(1/2)
In the temple, under the obelisk.
Ru Di paid attention to her sister's condition and recalled: "Xiaoya and I fell at the gate of the palace. There were six people who arrived earlier than us. The gate of the palace opened from the inside, and a minister seemed to agree that we were going to
The poor civilians who entered the palace to escape the disaster agreed to take us in, but they could only let us live in the palace for six days. At that time, a major ceremony for the prince's coronation would be held in the palace, and every corner would be carefully cleaned - poor civilians
There is no place to hide. I guess this is the exact deadline for clearance."
Ru Di asked tentatively: "Why did you appear directly in the temple?"
I also want to know this question...
Lin Hui didn't intend to answer and looked directly into his eyes.
Sure enough, Ru Di couldn't resist the "eye attack" at all and hurriedly looked away. Like every student who has not officially entered the workplace, he thought he had superb interview skills, but in fact, in the eyes of senior HR, he was a total
Transparent - thinking with your toes can decipher the true intention of every word he says.
My sister has been saved. It is normal for curiosity to arise.
Ru Di was the number one among his peers, and all geniuses who had the stars were proud of him. However, his pride had just shattered into pieces in front of Lin Hui, and his shortcomings of impatience were fully exposed.
Moreover, he never gives up thinking... Under certain circumstances, it can be said that he thinks too much and is good at thinking.
For example, now, it was obviously a normal inquiry, but after thinking about it for a while, he began to wonder if he had too many questions and touched a certain sensitive area.
Because, not only will they not keep asking questions, but they will also be eager to provide more information to prove that they are not a "bad student".
"what's next?"
Lin Hui gave a step up.
Sure enough, Ru Di immediately walked down.
"Eight of us explored the palace in groups, and Xiaoya and I were in a group. After passing through countless towers and unique rooms, I noticed this temple located in the center of the complex. After observation, I found that monks would patrol for about half an hour
Once the trip was over, the rest of the people were not allowed to enter. So when I encountered danger, I took my sister into the temple to take shelter."
When Ru Di said this, he raised his left hand. He was wearing an electronic watch and could see the time clearly. He said: "There are about five minutes left before the monk's inspection. Teacher, I suggest you leave the temple first, otherwise you will be hit."
You might get into trouble as a monk."
Lin Hui nodded, "I'll do as you say."
Ru Di continued: "We found out that the king of this country has just died. The queen is ill and lives in a minaret. The prince is the only child of two people. Nowadays, all the big and small things in the country are decided by him, but he doesn't seem to
He was not good at handling government affairs and made the country a mess. During the day, he did not stay in the palace, but took his attendants out to play, and only returned to the palace to rest at night."
"Those orcs are the prince's attendants. They can't speak and act barbarically. Once we find out, we will chase after us. There is one person who didn't run away and was eaten by them..."
Ru Di recalled the bloody scene and covered her mouth to avoid spitting it out.
Lin Hui waited for him to calm down before asking, "What else?"
"No more. We killed many Orc attendants, but there is no point. The attendants will be replenished, and more and more. Three days have passed, and we are getting more and more panicked. One of them proposed to meet the real master of the palace.
--prince."
Ru Di led Lin Hui out and said with a wry smile: "You have seen the result. We finally met the prince, but the prince didn't listen to us at all and directly ordered his attendants to kill us. We could only disperse and escape.
, everyone is injured. Look at my hair..."
Both brother and sister's hair looked as if it had been gnawed by dogs, and it was as messy as a defective bird's nest built by a novice bird.
"...It was chewed like this by a kobold."
Lin Hui: "..."
Outside the temple, the deep night gradually faded away. The palace's buildings were painted with gold paint and gold foil on large areas. The colorful gold hit Lin Hui's eyes arrogantly. She resisted the urge to rub her eyes, and after thinking for a while, she asked
: "How did you get into the crack?"
"Suddenly a crack appeared under our feet, and my brother and I fell in with a whoosh. The other people's experiences were similar to ours. There was a fool - his name was Xu Erlin, a tall man whose arms were thicker than my brother's thighs. The crack.
It didn't appear directly at his feet, but appeared a few meters away. He saw a glowing crack on the ground, thought there was a treasure inside, and reached in to touch it, but was sucked in by the crack."
The answering voice was soft and tender, with the unique innocence of a little girl.
Ru Di lowered his head, "Xiaoya...are you awake?!"
Ru Xiaoya smiled at her brother. She was not completely unconscious when she was in coma. She knew who saved her. What price did her brother pay to save her life?
Facing Lin Hui, her smile became even sweeter.
"Teacher, do you know how to leave the crack?"
Lin Hui raised her eyebrows slightly and asked instead of answering: "How much do you know about the cracks in the center of the earth?" She looked like she was testing two people in school.
Ru Di said: "I don't know much, only a little bit. The appearance of cracks in the center of the earth is random. Once you enter it, you must find it again within the specified time and open it before you can leave. Otherwise, you will stay there forever."
Here…it’s gone.”
"Where are the cracks hidden?"
Ru Xiaoya shook her head, "I don't know."
"How do you open it?"
"have no idea."
Lin Hui controlled herself not to show too many expressions. The brothers and sisters couldn't tell whether she was satisfied with what she heard.
Ru Xiaoya's eyes rolled around, full of expectations for the mysterious Lin Hui. She patted her brother's arm and motioned for him to put her down.
"I can walk on my own."
Ru Di was thin and tired from holding her sister. He put her down and gently kneaded his waist.
As soon as Ru Xiaoya's feet landed on the ground, she ran to Lin Hui and looked up at her.
"Teacher, should we join up with others or act alone?"
If I, the false magician, lead you to act alone, your secret will definitely be exposed.
"Have you agreed on a meeting place in advance?"
Ru Di responded, "Yes."
"Let's meet up first and tell me about the others."
Ru Xiaoya was a little disappointed. Not acting alone proved that the mysterious teacher was probably not familiar with the cracks in the center of the earth... This is normal. After all, cracks are legendary existences. Just like love and ghosts, everyone has heard of it.
, no one has seen it.
Ru Di lowered his voice subconsciously and recalled carefully: "Among the people who are still alive, there are two who have not been able to get rid of the influence of fear... To be precise, they are all on the verge of collapse. They have no independent thinking ability, and no one can speak.
Responding will only add to the confusion. There are two other men who are very strong, and Xu Erlin is one of them. Probably because the muscles have grown into the brain, both of them are not very smart and have reckless personalities. I think the one who needs the most attention is 'Mr. Jin'
', she is leaning on a cane, and her hair is more dazzling than the golden roof of the palace. But her fighting skills exceed everyone else, and her personality is very weird, negative and pessimistic."
Ru Xiaoya added: "I think she is enjoying our pain..."
Ru Di touched her sister's head and said, "Xiaoya is more sensitive to other people's emotions."
Its daybreak.
There is no sun, moon, or stars in the crack.
The night was pure black and you couldn't see your fingers.
The sky is foggy during the day, and the top of the spire can even penetrate the clouds. It makes people feel as if they can catch the clouds by standing on tiptoes and reaching out with hands, while the sky seems to be about to fall at any time. It brings an inexplicable feeling that makes people breathless.
The sense of oppression and the eerie silence of the palace made the atmosphere of gloom and terror pervade uncontrollably.
The three of them avoided the prince's attendants and walked along the way.
Because it was daytime, the prince had very few attendants left in the palace, so they quickly passed through most of the palace. Along the way, they also encountered normal attendants, maids and ministers. They were no different from ordinary humans and could communicate. It was a pity.
, none of them were willing to talk to the three of them, and some of the attendants hurled evil words at them, cursing the common people for being full of the stench of poverty.
"I obviously smell good," Ru Xiaoya muttered dissatisfiedly.
The palace in front has a fish-ridge-shaped roof, and the outer walls are covered with reliefs with animal heads and human bodies. Each of them is lifelike, with black and white eyes glaring forward, as if they will come alive in the next second.
Before I even got close, I could already hear the quarrels in the palace.
"Would I have been hurt if it hadn't been for your rubbish advice?"
"Injury is nothing. If the crack is not opened within the specified time, no one will survive..."
"That," a timid voice said.
"I can't get out when the time comes. I just can't leave the crack. There is food and drink in the crack, which is no worse than the real world."
"Ha," the old female voice said with a mocking tone.
"That's what Ru Di kid said to coax my sister. If you stay, you will die! You actually believe it..."
This voice was not unpleasant to hear, but it made people feel inexplicably upset. Lin Hui instantly recalled the despair of being held up with a knife on the bus before, and couldn't help but frown.
The owner of the old voice continued to speak.
"It seems that I am bound to die here. Fortunately, I have lived enough in my life... It is a pity that you are so young."
The timid voice said painfully: "Is there really no other way?"
To be continued...
