The Divine Hunter Chapter 30: Secret Infiltration
"Whoever is coming, stop immediately." In front of the castle's drawbridge, a poker-faced soldier in gray chain armor and holding a halberd blocked Geralt's way. His eyes under the silver helmet scanned the two people with restraint. People, "What is the purpose of visiting the Royal Palace of Sintra?"
"Cough, cough..." Geralt cleared his throat and looked over the guard's shoulder. There were patrolling soldiers not far behind him, which was not conducive to using the Axi Sigil. "I was appointed by Queen Calanthe. Lord Ravix of Four Horns City, this is my servant. I am here to visit the Queen and Your Majesty this time. I have something important to report. The situation is extremely urgent. Please pass the news on your behalf."
The poker-faced guard was stunned for a moment, and exchanged glances with the garlic-nosed companion next to him.
Hell, they had never heard of "Four Horns City", it was simply unheard of.
But seeing White Wolf's calm face and mentioning Queen Calanthe's appointment, the guard felt a little uneasy, as if his failure to report it was a huge sin.
"This...Your Excellency, the lord of Four Horns City. Your Majesty is having a meeting with many noble kings and ambassadors...If you don't have an invitation letter, please wait until the meeting is over and come again. I will send you a message to the general manager at that time." ”
"I have responsibilities. Please understand and leave now."
After speaking, the two halberds closed again.
The doorman regained his poker face and ignored him.
……
"Ahem," the two demon hunters left the hillside where the castle was located in disgrace.
Roy said jokingly, "Mr. Ravix, your title of Lord of the Four Corners City doesn't seem to work very well? When will you bring your servants into the castle to see the world again?"
"Man, this is not a random name. Years ago..." Geralt recalled with a blank look in his eyes, "I participated in the husband-selection meeting held by Queen Calanthe for her daughter with this title. However, The gap is so long that these soldiers probably can’t remember it.”
"Just wait and see, Queen Calanthe will definitely receive me when she hears this name."
"Maybe she will drive you away! Her Majesty the Queen has been worried about you taking Ciri away! I have a better idea," Roy looked at the window on the seaside side of the castle, "You stay here, I will first Go in and explore the situation."
How did the two rulers of Sintra talk with representatives of other countries?
"Don't mess around, Roy..." Geralt was startled and quickly tried to persuade him, "He rushed in recklessly. If we were caught, we had to move in advance. The end."
"Have I ever let you down? Geralt, I promise there will be no accidents!" Roy reached out and grabbed a gray silent cloak from the void, put it on his back and took out a crossbow.
……
The sun casts a layer of pale golden gauze on the cliffside castle.
A sparrowhawk flapped its dark gray wings across the sky and flew into an open window on the mottled city wall covered with green vines and weathered by time.
"Whoosh—"
A silver crossbow bolt jumped out from the rocks along the coast, spanned tens of meters in an instant, and landed accurately into the same window.
"Shua..." The slender figure on the reef below suddenly disappeared into the air.
When he appeared again, he was already inside the castle, with a luxurious red carpet in the middle of the corridor.
On the gray walls on both sides are hung precious oil paintings and specimens of deer, tigers, crocodiles and other beasts. Near the walls, there are huge vases and armor booths.
On the open window that almost reaches the ceiling, there are light-colored, elegant and dignified patterns painted on it.
Gulfin Sparrowhawk hopped along the front of the corridor to find his way,
Roy put on a pair of sticky gloves and sticky boots produced by Master Alchemist. The five fingers of his left hand traced two seals in a row, and golden and jet black light covered his body.
After a short sprint, he suddenly jumped along the side wall and climbed to the ceiling more than five meters above the ground in one breath. He pressed against the pillar and moved quickly with his hands and feet.
His voice and body odor are masked by his silent cloak and shield, and he is as agile and quiet as a spider.
If someone looks up in the dark corridor, they can only see a fleeting blur of gray shadows on the ceiling.
With the help of Gorfen, Roy passed through ten patrolling soldiers, doormen, and wooden doors on the wall - he didn't know where they led, there were so many that it was mind-numbing.
Sintra Castle is like a maze, and it is easy to get lost unless you are familiar with it.
But he had been here before, as the princess's companion for a month, and he knew the layout of the room by heart just in case.
He felt like he was in a no-man's land, not even using Axis. He followed the guidance of the demon hunter's senses and crawled toward the room where the sounds and smells were concentrated.
At a certain moment, he came outside a gorgeous dark green wooden door, and a strange sense of familiarity came to his heart...
The witcher on the ceiling became quiet, and a trace of nostalgia flashed through his heterochromatic irises under his sunglasses.
He came here more than a year ago.
"Shua..."
Roy fell to the ground lightly...and pressed his ear against the wooden door.
……
A petite figure sat on a huge chair inlaid with gold edges, swinging two white lotus-like calves while writing something quickly with a quill.
"Huh! Collier, this princess has had enough!" She suddenly stopped writing. Under her mouse-grey hair, her beautiful big green eyes were full of annoyance. She turned around suddenly and raised her chin proudly. He walked up to the little maid in a white apron, his green eyes covered the maid's body, and said threateningly,
"I order you, immediately, immediately, to help me finish this confession!"
"Ugh...I can't imitate your handwriting." The round-faced maid with small features clasped her hands on her chest and said timidly, "The queen has ordered that you can only finish the writing yourself, otherwise, otherwise, Cut off my head!"
"Your Highness, your heroic, kind and beautiful princess knight, please spare me!"
Xili suddenly puffed up her cheeks like a squirrel, "Here you go again, threatening me with your life every time!"
"Just because you are my only friend!"
She pouted her little mouth, feeling aggrieved that she could hang up the oil bottle,
"Don't think that I will always give in. Sooner or later, I will do something big that will make Calanthe regret it!"
"Keep your voice down, Your Highness!" The round-faced maid suddenly begged in horror, "In order for His Majesty's people to hear you, you have to write a second letter of confession."
"Here she comes, just complain!" Xili's voice became louder and sharper, and a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of her eyes,
"Old witch! Put me under house arrest for more than a year, lock me in this shabby house, read and read every day, and learn how to be a little lady?"
"I don't! I want to go out, I want to watch the sea, skate, race, and catch crabs!"
"There were a thousand confessions written!"
"It's endless!" She suddenly lay down on the desk and wiped away tears, "Damn Calanthe! At least let me go out to meet my friends!"
"Sharma, Keles...I almost forgot what they look like."
Xili's voice was weak, her thin shoulders shook, and then she covered her face and sobbed,
"Your Highness, stop crying... If you break your body from crying, I will feel so sorry for you." Collier put a chubby little face on Xili's little cat-like face, accompanying the princess Wipe away tears together.
"And those two big liars...big villains! They said they wanted to come to visit me and take me to play, but they forgot all about me in the blink of an eye. It's been so long, and there's not even a message!"
"Treat me like a three-year-old kid!"
"What kind of snake sect or wolf sect?" The sunlight shined through the window that was almost nailed shut with wooden boards, revealing a plain white and delicate little face. Tears welled up in his eyes and dripped down the tip of his chin to the ground.
A pair of brows were furrowed like a caterpillar. The little girl opened and closed her mouth, biting the air fiercely with her white baby teeth, "I think she's a braggart!"
"Dong, dong..." There was a knock on the door, and the cry suddenly stopped.
The little girl at the desk seemed to be shocked by electricity. She sat upright in an instant and nervously wiped the tears from her face.
The round-faced maid quickly pulled up her apron and wiped it on her face as if she had practiced it a thousand times~IndoMTL.com~ Her round face returned to cleanliness, and she walked cautiously to the door, took a deep breath, and barely managed to hold on. Keep a calm voice,
"Ahem, Her Royal Highness is writing a confession...I'll come back and pick it up in an hour."
"I am not of Her Majesty the Queen."
An unusually young, gentle, and pleasant voice came in.
Coliel had never heard this voice before, but she somehow felt that the owner of the voice must be extremely charming.
"Who are you?"
The little princess at the desk pricked up her ears while scribbling on the white paper.
"I am Roy, the demon hunter of the bragging school, and I am here specially to apologize to the great princess knight!"
"Sorry, Ciri, for keeping you waiting."
"Woo!"
The room erupted with cries and hurried footsteps.
