Chapter 16 Monroe
Xiaoyaozong's territory is separated from Xiaoyao Valley by a large lake. From a distance, Xiaoyaozong Castle is a towering black castle. Behind it are rows of towering mountains. There are also some luxurious palaces dotted among the mountains, which are majestic and majestic.
When the two people's ferry boat approached the castle of Xiaoyaozong, they saw more and more fine stone walls and gorgeous buildings, which made Luo Dong amazed. He never imagined that this ancient martial arts era would have such advanced architectural capabilities.
Stepping on the castle drawbridge, you can see several men and women in magic robes talking with the guards in front of the hanging door. They took out a few invitation cards, and the guards let them in.
Jasmine led Luo Dong to the guard, took out the fake invitation and handed it to the guard.
"Marilyn, Lien," the guard screamed, "are you the genius Monroe from the Lien family of Beihai, who is known as the Little Witch of the Red River Country? Ah, I'm so excited. I heard that you are fourteen years old this year Is it true that you broke through the sixth-level magician and defeated the famous horse thief leader Loft? It is really an honor for us Xiaoyaozong to meet you today..."
"Okay, stop rambling." Jasmine said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, please, do you know that this young man is also a disciple of a famous family?" The guard also looked at Luo Dong with fascination.
Jasmine frowned, then walked into the city with her head held high.
Luo Dong held back his smile, followed Jasmine into the castle, and immediately a well-behaved maid led the two of them to the inner hall for registration. Then the maid led the two to the living room.
Along the way, I saw pavilions, terraces and pavilions, fragrant flowers and birds, and a prosperous scene.
The living room is a relatively gentle compound, and some magician guests can be seen in it at any time, all of them are filled with festive smiles, showing that the Xiaoyao Sect is very angry, and it also seems that the suzerain Craig's birthday banquet is prosperous.
The maid took the two of them into a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings, and then went out.
"Marilyn, who is Lien? The guard simply regards you as a god." Luo Dong laughed and asked.
"Tch, the so-called up-and-coming star of the Red Country, why is she a sixth-level magician at the age of fourteen? Doesn't she rely on the family's strong financial resources to upgrade her many pills?" Jasmine said disapprovingly.
"She is so famous, is there anything wrong with you pretending to be her name?" Luo Dong thought about it.
"It's too much to worry about," Jasmine said, shaking her head with her hands spread out, "You're always worrying about this and that, so what are you doing with me?"
"This is caution, the most important rule of our killer." Luo Dong said with a wry smile.
"You're saying something inexplicable again, killer, you're only in your teens, don't you?" Jasmine said with a smile.
"But everything I said to you is true." Luo Dong said.
"Alright then, since you are a killer, tell me, how should we steal the sword now?" Jasmine asked.
"First of all, we need to take advantage of the chaos to steal," Luo Dong said, walking back and forth, "We must focus on the birthday banquet in Xiaoyaozong, but it must be before the birthday banquet, otherwise Craig will display the sword at his banquet." , there is no chance. According to this route, we have to investigate the surrounding environment now, first to find out, and second, to prevent the stealing sword from being discovered, and then we can also use the terrain to escape smoothly."
"It's too much worry. How can we carry out the sword stealing plan if we actually think of being discovered?" Jasmine laughed.
"My teacher has always warned me not to underestimate any enemy. Similarly, any task will not have absolute safety, only absolute thoroughness." Luo Dong said helplessly, spreading his hands.
For Jasmine, he began to have a feeling that this is a girl who is not afraid of anything, in terms of personality, she is very open and avant-garde, but in terms of handling things, she is too sloppy.
"Don't stay in this depressing room anymore," Jasmine started and said, "Let's go, Luo Dong, let's go out for a stroll and survey the terrain according to your plan. Hehe..."
"En." Luo Dong nodded and followed behind.
Xiaoyaozong's small castle is as big as a square city, and the paths and corridors are covered with flowers and plants, and there are many rockeries. Walking into it feels like entering the clouds. Jasmine has an extremely lively personality. Whenever she sees birds and beasts in captivity, as well as some exotic flowers and plants, she stands excitedly to point them out, lingering so much that she almost forgets about Luodong's plan of surveying the terrain.
At dusk, the two of them visited the entire Xiaoyaozong.
Luo Dong has logically figured out the terrain of Xiaoyaozong, returned to the pavilion, and carefully drew a structural diagram.
"The places we visited today are not all Xiaoyaozong. We have visited the east, west, east, west, stables, office halls, and leisure residences of Xiaoyaozong. But in the north area, we still can't go in. It must be the castle route. It is set so that outsiders cannot enter the north side... From this, I can infer that the north side of the castle is the secret area of Xiaoyaozong. And I also noticed that many city residents near the north side wear the same blue overalls, so it is certain that the north side is the alchemy The venue, the Fallen Excalibur is definitely inside." Luo Dong said carefully.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Ha, I didn't expect you, a little brat, to really understand the knowledge of building mechanisms, and to find out the details of Xiaoyao Sect so quickly." Jasmine said in amazement.
"So, we can act tonight." Luo Dong said.
"Tch, why are you so anxious, it will be held only after Craig's 100th birthday, so we can spend two days leisurely. Besides, hee hee, the attendants here treat us like gods of wealth, and they treat us very well!" Jasmine said. Hee hee smiled.
"I originally thought that if I steal the sword quickly, I can leave this place!" Luo Dong sat down on the bed with a sad face.
Not long after, a servant brought in exquisite meals to feed the two of them.
Then each went to sleep in his own room.
That night, Luo Dong was lying on the soft bed, thinking about An Rou's care for him and all kinds of good things when he thought about the killer base, he felt very moist in his heart, and unknowingly, he wet the pillow with tears. Thinking that although Jasmine is good, she is always inferior to An Rou...
The next day, just before dawn, An Rou ran into Luo Dong's room and woke up the sleepy Luo Dong.
"Fool, get up, Xiaoyaozong invited a troupe to perform 'Hamlet' in the trial hall today. If we don't go there, we won't be able to catch up with the show." An Rou lifted Luo Dong's quilt and said.
"Hey, why don't you go and see it alone, not to steal the sword." Luo Dong said casually.
"No, you are my partner, you must accompany me to the theater." An Rou said with her arms akimbo and frowning.
"Okay, I'll get up right away." Luo Dong said distressedly.
The trial hall is built in the center of the castle. The building here is gorgeous. A black hall like a Roman church stands alone on the open ground, surrounded by statues of warriors, fountains, totems and other things.
After entering the trial hall, what impressed me most was a huge crystal ball hanging from the vault, exuding yellow, red, and incandescent hot rays. The sculptures of various warriors and magicians inside were full of domineering and tension, lifelike. Domineering and stunning, it is shocking to watch.
At this time, the play of "Hamlet" has not yet started, and the hall outside the theater is crowded with all kinds of magicians and warriors, whispering to each other, as if they are commenting on the leading actor of "Hamlet", what "No. 1 actor in Mocheng", " The emergence of words to describe the heroine Xi Lani, such as "extremely sexy", "dream lover", made Luo Dong, who was only eleven years old, confused when he heard it.
But looking at Jasmine's embarrassing expression with her head flushed, it was obvious that these words were not good words.
Suddenly, a well-dressed man and woman walked into the entrance of the theater hall.
The woman is dressed in a beautiful snow-white long dress, and the skin exposed on her face is as pure as jade. Her eyes are full of coquettish charm. Just a light hook will make you lose your mind. It is obvious that she has practiced magic and charm.
She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was proud and domineering, with a very attractive temperament, and immediately became the highlight in the hall.
The man next to her is also good-looking, but the loose red hair and sharp face give people a kind of evil feeling.
Seeing that everyone in the hall was attracted by the girl who came in, Jasmine let out a displeased "hum", and seeing Luo Dong's shocked expression in a blink of an eye, she pushed Luo Dong's body angrily, and said, "I can't see you People are small and ghosts are big."
"Oh, I just feel that the girl's mental power is very strong, she is a master girl." Luo Dong said.
Unexpectedly, just as Luo Dong finished speaking, the peerless girl suddenly turned her head and looked towards Luo Dong. The obsequiousness in the eyes was mixed with deterrence, which made Luo Dong unable to help but feel frightened.
Just when I was feeling ups and downs, the man suddenly spoke.
"Marilyn, although this Xiaoyaozong is not very good, the 'Hamlet' play prepared for the guests is a masterpiece of Shakespeare, which makes me feel that the trip is worthwhile." The man said.
"Craig's magic is nothing special, but I heard that the fallen sword he forged this time is very powerful. I want to see the sword. If it is really good, I will buy it and make it a personal saber." Said the beautiful girl.
"Hehe, with Junior Sister Monroe's talent, wouldn't it be an honor for Craig to give that fallen sword away?" the man said.
"That's right." Monroe accepted the man's compliment without any shame.
...
Luo Dong was startled suddenly, thinking of "Marilyn Rose", isn't she the talented magician of the Red River Country respected by the Chengmen Detention Center, the invitation that Jasmine used came in under her name, isn't everything revealed at this time?
He hurriedly looked at Jasmine, but saw that her face was as white as snow, and there were nervousness, jealousy, and even anger in her eyes.
"Jasmine, Jasmine." Luo Dong called twice.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine said displeased.
"What should we do now, the Xiaoyaozong people may already know about our impersonation." Luo Dong said.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you just a sixth-level magician?" Jasmine said displeased, turned around and walked towards the hall door, not even watching the play of Hamlet.
