Chapter 2959 Puppet Maid
Before going to the roof of the wing, they also need to climb up to a tower about two meters high, because there are jagged bricks on the edge of the tower as a cover, which can make them more hidden and safer.
Climbing the tower is also easier because there is also a sewage pipe here. Through the sewage pipe, they easily reached the top of the tower.
After coming out of the sewage pipe, Angel saw a narrow, slightly sloping passage. This path, for those the size of a thumb, is a narrow path, probably only two palms wide. Its function is to collect rainwater and sewage to prevent them from seeping into the floor.
"You only need to walk straight along here to reach the side building... The most important thing is that this place completely bypasses the detection range of the Puppet Imperial Guards. They would never have thought that this could be passed." Rabbit Chacha showed off as he walked. How did you discover this path?
Angel echoed a few words from time to time, but just as Rabbit Chacha was talking enthusiastically, suddenly, a patter of footsteps came into their ears.
Rabbit Chacha was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and carefully looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
Opposite Rabbit Chacha, Angel also squatted under the jagged bricks, covering his body with shadows.
After a while, the footsteps slowly faded away, and Angel reached out his hand and pointed downwards.
According to his judgment, the sound just now seemed to come from below.
After Rabbit Chacha confirmed that the footsteps had disappeared, he came to Angel's side and whispered: "There should be puppet guards on the third floor."
While talking, Rabbit Chacha quietly poked his head out of the recess of the jagged bricks and looked down.
Two seconds later, Rabbit Chacha retracted his head: "Yes, it was the sound coming from the third floor. They didn't close the windows, that's why the sound was so loud."
"Didn't you close the window?"
Rabbit Chacha nodded: "Many windows in the castle are actually not closed, because Earl Black Tea has the habit of raising crows. If the crows are hungry, they will return to the castle. Keep the windows open just to let the crows come back."
"However, generally speaking, the group of crows will solve the food problem in the Black Tea Forest. I rarely see them come back."
Angel thought for a while: "Since most windows open here, can we actually enter the room through the windows?"
After hearing this, Rabbit Chacha said angrily: "I can do it, but are you sure you can do it?"
Angel: "...?"
Rabbit Chacha: "Do you want to climb the wall with bare hands? Even the windows on the first floor are open at a height of two meters. Can you climb up? Also, at night, it is very windy here. If you don't pay attention, you will Could be blown away.”
At this point, Rabbit Chacha pointed to the jagged bricks on both sides of the sewage channel: "Otherwise, do you think I would take you here? Both sides are sealed here, so even if there is a strong wind, you don't have to worry about being blown out. ”
Angel was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Rabbit Chacha kept letting him climb the pipe. Was it because he was weak?
However, is it true that as Rabbit Chacha said, there is no way to enter the room through the window? Aren't there pipes that happen to be right next to the window?
Angel also stood up and cautiously stuck his head out and took a look down.
This sight made him take a breath.
He had always felt that the third floor was quite low, but he had forgotten that at this time he had become a thumb person. With his current size, and comparing the height of the third floor, it is simply a huge chasm!
Moreover, Rabbit Chacha is right. The walls of the castle are very smooth. Even if there are cracks in the bricks, it is difficult to ensure that you can climb from the bottom to the window.
If you accidentally fall down, you will really die.
"Don't worry, this is still the servants' living building, so there will still be puppet guards hanging around. When we get to the side building, you don't have to worry about those stupid puppets." Rabbit Chacha thought Angel was still worried about that just now He heard the sound of footsteps and comforted in a low voice.
Angel didn't explain, just nodded.
Before, he thought it was very difficult to walk around in circles, but now he understood the good intentions of Rabbit Chacha.
It can be said that Rabbit Chacha chose this path entirely out of consideration for Angel's safety.
"Let's go." Rabbit Chacha finished his words and continued walking forward.
But after walking a few steps, he realized that Angel had not followed. When he looked back, he noticed that Angel was holding a cloak wrapped in saddlebags and wiping the brick that he had just held up with his hand.
"There are traces of palm prints." Angel explained.
Rabbit Chacha: "It doesn't matter, no one will check here anyway."
Angel: "It's always good to be careful."
Since Rabbit Chacha has been thinking about his safety along the way, Angel is embarrassed to enjoy it in vain, but there is really little he can do to help Rabbit Chacha now. The only thing he can do is to try to erase the traces they left. Avoid any troubles.
Although Rabbit Chacha felt that Angel was a little unnecessary, he didn't say anything and waited silently for Angel to clean up the traces around him before moving on.
…
Soon, they passed through the living building where the puppet servants lived and came to the quieter wing.
What they have to do now is go all the way down from the side building flue and enter the interior of the castle.
The flue of the side building was about half a meter above the ground. There was no support for this half meter, which meant that they had to climb it with bare hands.
This time, climbing with bare hands also made Angel further understand why it is difficult to climb through the window. This climb of only half a meter made Angel gasp for breath. Thinking about the height of the third floor, Angel was completely exhausted.
Fortunately, there were many gaps in the bricks of the flue, which gave Angel time to rest. Otherwise, it would take a long time to climb to the top in one breath.
When he arrived at the top of the flue, the rabbit Cha Cha had been waiting for a long time. Before Angel could rest, it grabbed his hand.
When Angel was still wondering, a cold wind blew.
Angel immediately felt that his body was weightless, and both feet were blown off the ground. Thanks to the rabbit Cha Cha who was still holding him, otherwise he would really be finished.
When the wind stopped, Rabbit Cha Cha let go of his hand: "Now you know how dangerous it is to climb the wall with bare hands. You were in the leeward position when you climbed the wall just now, so it was okay. Think about it, if you were following the wind, or the wind blew from your side, what would it be like."
Angel didn't know what it would be like, because he didn't dare to think about it at all!
Rabbit Cha Cha looked at the dark sky: "It is estimated that there will be more wind later, don't waste time outside, let's go into the castle quickly."
After speaking, Rabbit Cha Cha took off his hat and shook it gently. The teapot hat swelled in the wind and became twice as large, and the inside was filled with air.
"Hold on!"
After speaking, Rabbit Cha Cha used the teapot hat as a "parachute" and jumped directly into the flue.
Seeing this, Angel hurriedly grabbed one side of the teapot hat.
Angel only felt a sense of weightlessness, followed by a leisurely fall. After about a few dozen seconds, they finally landed.
After several seconds, Angel's uncontrollable heartbeat gradually slowed down. At this time, Angel stood up and looked around.
They were now in the firewood pile, which should be the unlit firewood.
"Lucky! No one is here, you can come out." Rabbit Cha Cha's voice came.
Angel looked over and found that Rabbit Cha Cha had already walked out of the firewood and was walking around in the room.
After confirming that there was no one in the room, Angel also followed him out. Before leaving, Angel did not forget to wipe the footprints of himself and Rabbit Cha Cha.
"This is the guest bedroom on the third floor of the side building. No one usually comes here." Rabbit Cha Cha said as he climbed up along the corner of a table and took a silver fork from the table. "This thing is not bad. I can make a flag when I go back."
Then, Angel saw Rabbit Cha Cha put the fork into the hat.
Angel didn't know how the huge fork disappeared in the teapot hat, but now he seemed to understand why Rabbit Cha Cha followed him to the castle.
Maybe it's not just helping him find the mirror, it should also use the castle as its own backup library.
It is estimated that the things in the rabbit hole were all brought from the castle.
"You can take anything you like. Anyway, no one will come here, and even if someone comes, they don't know what is missing." Rabbit Cha Cha: "This is the best thing about the side building."
Angel shook his head: "No, even if I take it, I can't take it away."
Rabbit Cha Cha looked Angel up and down and nodded: "That's right, you don't have a place to put things... But, then again, if you find the mirror, how can you take it away?"
Angel: "I don't know, and I don't have to take it away."
Angel guessed that finding the mirror might be the key to the strange omen, not taking it away.
Just think about it, where can you take the mirror? After all, this is a strange omen. The mirror was taken outside, and it was basically the same as the mirror left here.
However, this is also Angel's guess. Whether it is true or not, we still have to see the mirror to know.
"Yes, you entered the Teapot Country because of the mirror. Maybe you can leave the Teapot Country as long as you find the mirror..." Rabbit Cha Cha: "Besides, if you really can't fit it, I can help you install the mirror. It just so happens that my rabbit hole is also missing a mirror."
Angel: "...Thank you."
After staying in this room for a while, Rabbit Cha Cha took Angel out of the door.
The side building is worthy of being a side building. From the third floor to the first floor, no one was seen. Even the puppet servants, there was no trace.
However, after they left the side building, they immediately heard the sound of jumping. However, only heard the sound, but did not see the person, it is estimated that the sound came from the next building. But even so, it can be known that leaving the side building is equivalent to leaving the safe zone, and the next journey must be cautious step by step.
"Next, we have to go to the main building. Whether it is the storage room, study or treasure house, they are all in the main building or near the main building." After Rabbit Cha Cha formulated the next goal, he began to take Angel to "break through the level".
From the side building to the main building, there is a corridor with a straight distance of about 20 meters.
It is worth mentioning that the outside of the corridor is a closed wall, but the inside of the corridor is a small open-air area. The open-air area is designed as a pond, and you can see the same man-eating teapot fish in the pond as in the moat.
If you walk directly in the corridor, it is easy to meet the puppet servants unexpectedly. So, the rabbit Cha Cha took Angel to the side of the pond. There is a separation area between the pond and the edge of the corridor, which is dry land and can accommodate them.
But if you don't make preparations, it will be difficult to walk all the way to the end.
Because the man-eating teapot fish are very sensitive to the breath of living things, if they smell the breath of Angel and Rabbit Cha Cha, they will definitely attack along the breath.
Fortunately, Rabbit Cha Cha was well prepared.
It took out one grass-green ball after another from its hat and threw it into the pond.
The teapot fish in the pond immediately rioted, and Angel saw several teapot fish jumping out of the water just to fight for those grass-green balls.
After the pond returned to calm, Rabbit Cha Cha stopped throwing grass balls and turned to Angel to signal: "You can go."
Rabbit Cha Cha was the first to climb over the guardrail of the corridor, and Angel hurriedly followed.
"Hurry up, I seem to hear the footsteps of the puppet maid. Moreover, my mystery grass meat balls can only make the teapot fish faint for two minutes. We must take advantage of this time to stay away from the pond."
After speaking, Rabbit Cha Cha ran forward quickly. Angel didn't think much and ran wildly after Rabbit Cha Cha.
About half a minute later, Angel heard a clicking sound. Apparently, the puppet maid had come to this corridor.
Angel didn't know whether to hide or not, but seeing the rabbit Cha Cha still running, he gritted his teeth and continued to run with Cha Cha.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Angel's speed also increased.
Another minute later, Angel saw the rabbit Cha Cha behind a big tree waving at him, and he jumped and came to Cha Cha. Before Angel's body landed, he was grabbed by Cha Cha and put behind the tree.
At the same time, a puppet maid with a stiff face and a weird look slowly stretched out her long head and looked at the pond.
If Angel was one step later, the maid would probably find him.
It can be said that he escaped the maid's gaze at the last step.
The puppet maid seemed confused about the calm pond. It stuck out its giraffe-like hat and looked left and right... Usually, these teapot fish would jump out of the water excitedly as long as they heard its footsteps. Why did they suddenly wilt today?
Is it dead?
If it is dead, should it still be fed to the fish? No, if it is dead, it will probably be sentenced to death by the Earl, after all, it was arranged by the Earl to feed the fish.
As various thoughts flashed through the puppet maid's mind, the pond regained its vitality.
Several man-eating teapot fish jumped out of the water, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and attacked the puppet maid.
The maid, who was still confused, finally opened her stiff mouth when she saw the teapot fish so "alive and kicking".
Great, it seems that the fish is fine... Maybe they were sleeping before? Or, deliberately waiting for the attack?
No matter which one it is, the maid doesn't care, as long as it is alive.
"La La... La..."
The puppet maid hummed a weird, unpleasant and hoarse song, and threw lumps of meat of unknown creatures into the pond.
The teapot fish immediately gave up attacking the maid and started to tear the white meat floating on the surface of the pond.
In just a few seconds, the meat disappeared, leaving no bones.
The puppet maid was very satisfied with the vitality of the teapot fish and continued to feed the meat.
After a few minutes, after making sure that the teapot fish was 70% full, the puppet maid slowly left...
After the maid left, Angel whispered: "Was that a maid just now?"
Rabbit Cha Cha nodded: "Yes."
Perhaps seeing Angel still in shock, Rabbit Cha Cha comforted: "The maids in the Black Tea Castle are like this, very scary, so you have to be more careful. Once discovered, you will definitely die."
Angel nodded blankly.
The maid just now... was wearing a maid outfit, but her face was completely like a puppet. This is not over yet. Her neck can stretch several meters long. This is too scary.
In addition, the feet under the maid's skirt were also very strange. She only had one leg, just like the puppet guards. However, the puppet guards were jumping around, but the puppet maid seemed to have rollers installed under her feet, as if she was drifting on flat ground.
If the entire castle was filled with these terrifying servants, wouldn't the difficulty of this omen be too high?
What kind of mirror did he refine to create such a difficult omen?
