Chapter 546 The Great Thief
Youxiang thinks this is not a dream, because it hurts so much when she falls while running too fast.If this is a dream, you should wake up, right?Matthew has been by his side to guide her, running up and down from time to time to scout the situation.If it weren't for the fact that he was a kitten, they probably wouldn't have gone so well.
The thief who broke into the palace caused chaos in the palace. He seemed to be burning something, and one side of the palace was burning into the sky.In addition to the sound of running, they also heard some shouts and calls for help.But now, they don't have the extra energy to find out what happened. In short, they just need to find a way to get out of here...
"The front is the passage used by the servants. If it goes well, we can use it to hide from the eyes and ears of the knights."
Matthew said as he walked, "Are you tired, Miss Xiang? Speaking of which, do you feel unwell?"
"No, it's okay..." Youxiang was just panting a little, and now she was much better after slowing down, "Matthew, what are we going to do after we go out?"
"Correct all mistakes, Miss Youxiang." Matthew explained simply, he said, "Now people forget what they should do, and are forced to participate in this game. We must Let people recover before it's cleaned up."
"But... what will happen if this continues, Matthew?"
"........."
You really asked me, Miss Youxiang.Matthew stopped, looking back at Youxiang's confused and worried face, and said, "Maybe nothing will happen. People will just go on living in the way they were given."
"Then...then why would Matthew want to change?"
"Don't you want to change something, Miss Youxiang?"
"I, although... I really don't want to be locked up, but what I'm asking is Matthew's reason?"
"Your reason is my reason, Miss Youxiang." Matthew said, "Although you may not remember, you made an agreement with me a long time ago. I must fulfill your wish, so... even if you want to destroy I will help you with everything that exists in this world."
"Matthew..."
"Although the beginning is very similar to the story of Dragon Quest, unfortunately we are not brave but bad people who destroy peace." Matthew jumped up the steps as he said, "Do you regret it? Miss Youxiang? Tell I will help you realize your true wish."
"Although I don't quite understand...but I believe what Matthew said..." Youxiang lowered her head slightly, and she said, "Matthew...that, I don't remember me anymore, what is it like? There are many Many...friends?"
"Ah. Not only friends who can talk, but also friends who can entrust your life and even your whole life. You have met countless outstanding and even great people, and the curse on you has been turned into a blessing to save more and more people .Maybe... for many people, the new world is better now. But..."
Matthew came over and put his little paw on Youxiang's leg. He said, "But I will not allow this so-called new world to be built on your pain. Even if the previous world was hell, I will bring hell to you." Come back. What do you think?"
It's not like something a kitten would say.But... Youxiang smiled, and she picked up the kitten: "I believe what you said, so let's get out of here together, Matthew."
"I think you'd answer the same way." After all, there's nothing to miss about this place at all.The people who keep you here just want to make you miserable.Matthew didn't continue this topic. He stretched out his little paw and pointed forward and said, "Okay, let's go through that door first! According to my guess, there should be a hidden passage over there!"
"Hmm." Although Youxiang was a little nervous, but for some reason, as long as Matthew was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of.She opened the front door.
On the other side of the door is a very long tunnel. When walking forward, I found a fork in the road. According to Matthew's suggestion, I ignored it and continued to move forward.But the door ahead was blocked, and Youxiang couldn't open it. After Matthew began to complain that the kitten's meat pad couldn't do anything, he had to turn back and take the fork in the road.
But the fork in the road is going down, can I really get out from here... Matthew means: "How do I know! Go and see first!"
"This seems to be a prison... Matthew..." It's so scary, it's pitch black... Youxiang hugged the kitten tightly, and she said, "Shall we go on?"
This underground cell seems to be empty now.It should be just a place to temporarily put the captured people in, not very big.The light was so dim that Youxiang couldn't even see if there was anyone in the cell.
"We still..." Go back.Before Matthew finished speaking, they heard a voice behind them, and Matthew immediately whispered, "Hurry up and hide in the cell next to Miss Xiang!"
Youxiang reacted, and she quickly ran into an unlocked cell and squatted in the corner. With Matthew's reminder, she lifted the straw mat on the ground and covered her body.Soon, through the gaps in the straw mat, a group of people could be seen coming in with torches. They were wearing knight armor, and a man in black was dragging behind them.
"It took His Majesty the Emperor himself to catch him, this guy..." the knights discussed inwardly.
"What on earth did he come to the palace for? Did he steal anything?"
"I don't know, and I won't say anything when I ask him, but it doesn't matter, he will be executed tomorrow morning."
Has the thief Matthew mentioned been caught... After all, it was the elder brother who came out in person, no matter who it is... Youxiang hugged the kitten subconsciously, and the knights didn't notice it. Throw it into the next cell and leave.Hearing the sound of their closing the door, You Xiang carefully came out from the hiding place.
"They're all gone." Matthew scanned it, and he said, "Go and see that Mr. Thief, Miss Youxiang. You'll want to see him."
"?" Although I don't know what it means... Youxiang obediently walked to the next cell, and she couldn't see clearly through the fence, as if there was a black-haired man sitting there.She said, "That...Mr. Thief?"
"...Ah?" Mr. Thief made a very impatient voice, he raised his head and said in a little surprise, "Who are you?"
"My name is Youxiang..." Youxiang didn't talk to strangers much, she said a little nervously, "Is Mr. Thief injured?"
"Are you kidding me?" Where did this noble lady come from?The thief looked at the person in front of him with an expression of disbelief, "Do you know what kind of monster the emperor of this country is?"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Ah, what should I do...Why doesn't Matthew speak at this time?Youxiang was still very nervous, but she felt that since it was a matter of her own decision, she should try her best, "Well... If, if I release Mr. Thief, can Mr. Thief... take me out of here?"
"Aha?"
"Hmm..." It's so fierce... Youxiang gripped the iron railing nervously, she whispered, "If, if Mr. Thief doesn't agree, tomorrow morning...but he will be executed...?"
What cruel things are you saying in a weak voice? I say Miss...Mr. Thief still finds it incredible, but Youxiang is right, if you don't want to die, this may be your only chance.So he paused for a while and said, "...I can take you out of the palace. But you have to tell me one thing first."
"Hmm! What is it?"
"...You are stupid! At this time, you should say: You have no right to make conditions because you are still in prison!"
"what!!"
"Hey...so where did you come from..." Escaping from the palace or something... Could it be some overprotected nobleman?The thief sighed helplessly, and said, "Do you know that there is a 'rare treasure' in this palace?"
"Huh?" As if I've never heard of it... Youxiang said, "I'm sorry I don't know..."
"Really. Forget it." I don't think you know either.The thief said, "Well, hurry up and find a way to open the door, and then I will take you out from here! Isn't that what you intend?"
"But, how do we open this door?"
"Take a look at the front entrance, maybe there will be a key." The thief reminded, "Be careful, maybe those guards are still nearby."
"I see." Youxiang nodded, then she thought for a while, and put the kitten Matthew on the ground, "Matthew is here with you, Mr. Thief. I'll be right back!"
"Ah...?" Why did you let the cat accompany me?The thief didn't understand Youxiang's thinking circuit at all. He watched Youxiang run away carefully, and then the kitten she put on the ground easily walked to him through the prison railing, and put its little paw on his leg. There was a 'meow' sound on the last play.
No way?Did the eldest lady think she would be afraid, so she left the cat behind? ?Such an idea appeared in the thief's mind, and then he felt that it was too outrageous, so he quickly shook his head to let this naive idea go away.This is the most dangerous palace of the Tedronian Empire on the mainland. It is impossible for such a simple person to appear here!
"Mr. Thief! I found it!"
After a while, Youxiang's voice came, and she ran back to the prison door, then raised the key: "It's actually placed on the table! Everyone is so relaxed!"
"You are the one who is slack!" It's really frustrating!The thief got up from the ground. He went to the fence and took the key that Youxiang had obtained. "Be quiet! If we are discovered, we will both be finished!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Youxiang immediately lowered her voice, and she said, "So we can set off, Mr. Thief?"
"I promised you just now, and I will try my best." The thief opened the door of the prison while speaking, "You have to follow me closely."
"Yeah!" Youxiang laughed, and she picked up the kitten Matthew who had walked to her feet again, "Does Mr. Thief know how to leave the palace?"
"Ah. There is an underground waterway, and my partner told me its location. As long as we go there, we can pass the waterway to the outside of the palace." The thief replied, "I was caught when I went there. ...you really don't know anything about 'rare treasures'?"
"Well... I've never heard of it... Did Mr. Thief go to the palace to find that?"
"That's right. But it doesn't look like it's in the palace either... When the partner's information is wrong..." The thief muttered to himself, he said, "Forget it. In short, it's important to run for your life first! If I meet that emperor again, I may Can't bear it!"
"..." Brother...doesn't it be better for Mr. Thieves not to know that I'm Brother's younger sister?Youxiang thought so in her heart and didn't say anything.She just hugged the kitten and followed behind the thief, but because she followed too closely, when Mr. Thief stopped to observe the situation, she directly bumped into his back.
"Hey..." Can you do it...Mr. Thief looked back at Youxiang in a bit of difficulty, and said, "Are you really going to leave the palace like this, Miss?"
"Please, please! Mr. Thief!" I want to get out!
"Okay...just for the sake of letting me out..." There's no way...the thief gave up resisting, he said, "Ace. My name is Ace."
"Huh?" Ah... told me my name... Youxiang was a little surprised, and then little stars appeared in her eyes, and she laughed at the same time, "Yeah! Ace! Please!"
"Oh, oh..." Why... I always feel that this smiling face seems... Ace suddenly felt something was wrong in his chest, and he immediately turned around to show his panic, "I told you not to be so loud. Let's go."
"Hmm! Well, Ace, are we friends now?"
"Why?? I don't want to be friends with nobles!"
"Oh……"
