The Amber Sword: Act 223 The Cat and the Drunk Man

Samburg is located at Lucita To the west of a small lake called Strouy, at the turn of summer and autumn, the lake here reflects the castle and the distant horizon Hazell The snowy line of the Roy Mountains is set against the standing forest and the reflection of white maple. It is one of the most famous scenic spots near the capital, but it is also a royal forest garden.

But the imperial family does not often live here, and often only stays here for the entire long summer. After the The Silver Queen Constance ascended the throne, the castle will be used for a shorter period of time, which may not happen once every two or three years. To one month.

But even so, the castle is packed with servants and the Guards are stationed. As early as half a month ago, Sandberg replaced a group of mountain people maids, coupled with the flame blade Knights, which changed the defense with the embargo, which added a lot of popularity here.

Only tonight, this old and elegant castle on the lake is extraordinarily quiet.

silver moon ‘Ti Misi’ moves slowly over the nearby forest. The long shadow of Bai Feng extends forward with the movement of the moonlight, over the fence, across the forest avenue, leaving a shadow on the city wall.

The wind pushed the clouds above the night. After a while, the shadows on the city wall squirmed, slowly rising from the ground, and gradually formed a woman dressed in a veil of witch.

The woman stood on the edge of the battlements for a moment and looked into the courtyard doubtfully. The courtyard was dark, there was no light in the stables on one side, and there were neither hidden sentry nor patrol guards on the wall.

If it is usually at this time, the servants have already fallen asleep, but at least there is still the power of defense in the castle, and it will never be as dead as this moment.

She frowned and walked towards the edge of the city wall. The moonlight pouring down from the clouds at that moment had the substance under her feet, forming a step ladder. She went down one level and came into the courtyard.

A faint Yinhua spread out in all directions around her body, and swept across the castle in a blink of an eye.

The woman frowned. Seems to realize something, but Correct this time. She suddenly glanced in the direction behind her.

As if hearing something, she was about to leave, but Correct suddenly flashed a look of anger in her eyes. She raised her right hand, and a palm-sized crystal ball suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand. Several pictures were constantly switching on it, like a glimmer of light. If ordinary people had no time to see clearly, but she just engraved one of them in the blink of an eye .

If Brando is here, you must be able to recognize the scene inside the Correct cat and beard hotel.

The woman lifted her hand, and the crystal ball in her hand instantly turned into a piece of silver light dust. She also shattered, like a broken glass, and melted into the moonlight in an instant.

The woman's forefoot has just left, and a few small shadows lightly fall on the wall behind her.

That's a few cats.

The black cat at the front has a large bow around his neck. He looked around curiously. The opening voice was the characteristic sweet voice of Sugar Bowl: "Strange, why no one. Even if it is Knights people were led away by adults, at least there will be guards in the castle Ah? "

A yellow-and-white flower cat behind the black cat suddenly felt tense when he heard this, and quickly reminded him softly: "Shhh. Keep quiet, ojou-sama, no one is not bad, do you want to attract everyone? ? "

"Babasha, what are you afraid of? Didn't we confirm it? The Knight of the Sword of Flame has already left, either to support the battle of Lord Thane on their side, or to deal with the strange guys in the city. Anyway Anyway, it wo n’t be here. Those guys are not my opponents in total. "

"Young Lady. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. It's better to be cautious." Babasha looked around nervously: "This is the empire, don't forget that they are also here." /

"No one is inside," Sugar Bowl, who turned into a black cat, gave a careless glance at the castle immersed in the dark. She raises head sniffed around her nose and wondered: "But there is something strange in the air The taste of it seems to have come from our kind. Strangely, I can't be sure. Does the woman have such a powerful guy, could it be that is Witch Queen? "

Babasha was startled: "That woman can't be here."

"wú," Sugar Bowl nodded: "It's really not her Aura, weird, is there such a powerful guy in our generation of witch."

"Let's get to work, Young Lady ..."

Sugar Bowl leapt forward, jumping lightly from the city wall, and steadily falling on the meadow in the courtyard, just like the real feline, without making a slight sound.

Behind her, including the Babasha, the three witchs turned into cats jumped in turn. Several people strolled around the courtyard, but none of them found it.

"There is no one here, Young Lady." The white cat behind Babasha is speaking. Although it looks the most compact, it is the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"The woman is really unreliable, be careful, Young Lady, this may be a trap."

Hearing the word trap, Babasha's hair was erected. She looked back at subconsciously, but there was still silence in the courtyard.

"Relax, Babasha, even if there is a trap, it is also aimed at Lord Thane's, The Silver Queen has no interest in you old lady."

"Young Lady," the white cat who spoke earlier suddenly said again: "There are still people in the castle."

Sugar Bowl nodded, she also noticed: "Front left, third room."

She stepped on the elegant cat step and came to the window in that room. She jumped lightly and jumped to the window sill. She reached out her claws and fiddled twice, opening a gap in the window, and a strong wine burst into her face. Come.

"So I hate alcoholic --"

...

Hobbs Balek is indeed a drunkard. He is a dwarf, from Ambrose. He is drunk, but he is also the best horse trainer in the entire empire. The royal family hired him to serve as Sambourg's equestrian. On weekdays, he never dared to drink -- gnomes, and never dared to take the royal rules seriously, not to mention he cherishes the job now.

No matter how rich the collection of Her Majesty's stables is, his status as the strongest imperial royal horseman is enough to make him feel extremely proud.

But today is a special case. The embargoes were all changed by the Knights of the Flame Sword. Earlier, the servants in the castle were also transferred, because he wanted to help look after the Knights warhorses. That's why it was left behind, and it turned out a few hours ago. Knights also left.

He is the owner of this deserted castle.

He didn't dare to touch the wine cellar of the royal family in the basement, but the barrels of wine stored in the kitchen were all right. Although not as good as the royal collection, it was enough to make him addicted to alcohol.

He was lying dizzy on a few bags of flour, and had long lost track of how much he had drunk, as if there was a small barrel of dwarven spirits, then three bottle Landfel liqueurs, and one bottle whiskey. Alcohol seemed to form a thick cloud and wrapped him in it.

Hobbs Balek is drinking wine, this is the life he is pursuing. He had a dream in a confused way, dreaming that he made enough money, and returned to his hometown to build a world-class wine cellar. In the wine cellar, a variety of precious wines are stored, from the Griffin feather of 366, the black king of Phyllis, to the famous cold moon wine. This wine was produced in the cold moon year, and was almost destroyed by a snow disaster that winter, but it has formed a unique cold taste. It is the top collection of each royal family and noble Aristocratic Family.

He dreamed that he was entertaining guests, and he was full of friends. There were well-known alcoholic and noble people from the high society. On the long table covered with white cloth, there were various silver plates, which were piled on it. Famous black wines and colorful fruits and vegetables from all over the world, a black cat with a bow is walking around.

Hobbs Balek froze for a moment, and almost thought he was wrong. Why is there a black cat on the table? He couldn't help but rub his eyes with subconsciously. It turned out that there were not only one cat on the table, but also two white cats. A flower cat.

He couldn't help but sit up and subconsciously prepared to anger his servants in dreams. But before he had time to speak, he saw the black cat talking to him:

"Hobbs Balek," the black cat stretched out its paw and fanned it in front of its nose, with a look of disapproval: "Damn drunkard, I will give you a few words of time, otherwise I will send you Hell!"

The dwarf horse trainer's eyes widened, and the cat even talked. He shook his head, thinking that he was dreaming.

But after a moment, he suddenly woke up, everything in the dreamland turned into a bubble, the surrounding environment turned into a dark kitchen, and the narrow Space was filled with strong wine and the smell of raw meat.

On the wooden table opposite him, there were no more than four cats, of which the black cat was the head, and he was staring at him with dim light in the dark.

"Ghost!"

The dwarf screamed in shock, crawling backwards with his legs kicking, slamming into the bucket behind him, thumping on top of his head, and the colored spice jars originally placed on the shelf suddenly fell down. He smashed his head and covered his face.

"Puchi," Sugar Bowl couldn't help being laughed by this guy stupidly, but she hurriedly said, "Hobs Balek, have you heard me?"

witch is good at manipulating dreams, and has known each other's name in the dream.

But the dwarf horse trainer was scared to break out in cold sweats. It was not a good sign to meet a black cat in the middle of the night at Vaunde. Some country legends often think that black cats are the messengers of Grim Reaper like crows, and these animals that bring bad luck are often Linked with witches, it is even worse.

Hobbs Balek didn't know the witchs of Correct in front of him, but he was extremely frightened. When he contacted the black cat before, he only came to see him as the messenger of Grim Reaper Hell.

could it be that drunk by himself?

He couldn't help feeling sad.

It's sad that I haven't drunk enough.

"I ask you a question," but Sugar Bowl doesn't care what he thinks, her eyes glow with a charming light, as if it can make people dream: "Where is Mistress here?"

...

St. Cantipei's Palace, White Rose Garden --

The two rows of Knight stopped slowly outside the gate of the Rose Garden. At this moment, Correct was very quiet, and there was no one on the Empire Avenue. The rows of oak trees stood on both sides of the Avenue, and a dark shadow fell on the ground.

This majestic palace is surrounded by a large expanse of meadows. There are no other buildings within a few hundred meters, all of them are royal gardens, but the Knights visiting late at night still awakened residents in the distant neighborhood.

Citizens secretly look in the direction of St. Cantipei's Palace from the window through the cold light of the moonlight. It can be seen that these Knight -- in black and black armor are not embargoes, nor are they Flaming Knights of Holy Cathedral. Which Duke is the guard and why? Late?

And in St. Cantipei's Palace, there is also an eye on this team Knight.

Constance You can clearly see the situation in the Rose Garden and Empire Avenue from the floor-to-ceiling windows of her study. She is sitting behind the desk of one's own. The crystal ball at hand has long since passed away, and she can no longer see it The scenery of the mountains and forests near Hanlu Manor became dark and the edge was reflected with a ray of moonlight.

There is no one in the room at this moment. Only Dragon Queen stands silently in the darkness. She doesn't speak, Her Majesty doesn't open her eyes, she looks through the glass of the window and looks between the two columns of Knight. Guarded tight black carriage.

She watched the door was opened by a Knight, and a maid, a long red hair, and bronze skin, came down from the car, which is a typical feature of mountain people.

The maid dropped slightly after getting out of the car, and then helped a costumed Princess.

That's her female Count.

The Silver Queen This is the look of pride.

"When will our Royal Highness arrive," she asked.

"On the way, Your Majesty," Dragon Queen replied in the dark.

"The ministers have been waiting in the hall for a long time," she said after a while, "Your Majesty."

"Anyway," The Silver Queen replied, "Let me be alone, Gwendolyn."

Dragon Queen bowed his head, but his body was still.

"The mice are making a lot of noise today."

"Yes, I asked just now that the city guards were led by the battle over there."

"Then tell me dear Knights Captain, what should he do now."

Dragon Queen nodded.

"Go, come back before dinner, that's the subject of today's banquet."

Dragon Queen's figure then retreats into the darkness, then the sound of opening the door, and finally all the sounds of 'kā chā' turn to silence.

Constance silently looked at the night scene outside the window, did not say a word.

"... You were the kindest Her Highness the Princess of Kirrlutzian, if you are willing to return to the right path."

"I have never been more convinced that I am on the right path than I am now."

"Parasolation obscures your eyes, Your Majesty."

"On the contrary, you cannot see the Correct ahead ..."

As if before her eyes stretched out a fantasy.
