Chapter 260 Under the Water

In the middle of the night, the palace was still heavily guarded.

At this time, a figure was sneaking and walking slowly and fearfully in the palace... Iben, the real Iben.

He touched the back of his neck, feeling that this place hurt so much that he forgot what happened. He only knew that after waking up, he found himself hiding in a large water tank, and sneaked into the palace with him. The fake princess and two other guys have disappeared.

So what happened?

Iben was completely in a state of information occlusion, but vaguely he felt that he seemed to have missed many things, especially the fact that the guards of the palace looked so strict.

Fortunately, I was wearing the clothes of a guard at this time.

"stop!"

At this moment, a deep shout came from behind... Iben was suddenly startled and his body became stiff. He swallowed and then slowly turned around.

I saw a group of six palace guards coming with weapons in hand. Judging from the situation, they happened to patrol here and saw Iben sneaking around here.

This Iben was also witty. At this time, he put his hands on the belt, pretending to be tying the belt, and a nodding and bowing smile appeared on his face.

The guards who came on patrol frowned when they saw it. The leader even said slightly angrily: "Are you crazy? This is the palace!"

"It's too urgent, it's too urgent... There's really nothing we can do, brother." Iben looked aggrieved at this moment, "Look, I haven't rested all night... Can you please be accommodating?"

"snort!"

But the leader of this group of patrolling guards did not believe it. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Now the patrols in the palace are in groups of six, but you are alone here, acting sneaky... I I suspect you are also transformed by a giant beast! Catch him!"

As soon as the captain of the guard drew his sword, the other five guards also showed their weapons!

"Don't come over here!" When Iben saw this, he knew that he might not be able to take things lightly this time. He immediately gritted his teeth and imitated the behavior of these guards. He also put his hands on his waist, preparing to use his weapon to kill the fish... Well, he didn't have a weapon on his waist!

"Catch him!" The captain of the guard waved his hand!

The five guards rushed towards Iben! When Iben saw this, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away... But he was not familiar with the palace, and after a while, he turned into a dead end.

Iben was startled, gritted his teeth, and couldn't care less at this time. He climbed up to the wall with all his strength, and narrowly climbed over the wall before the guards behind him could catch up.

The guards hurriedly stopped outside the wall, with strange expressions on their faces... The captain of the guard looked as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat.

"This is..." A guard looked hesitantly at the captain, "The former queen's former residence... us?"

"Damn it!" the captain of the guard gritted his teeth, "Chase! We are chasing the prisoner! Don't be afraid... you go in first!"

All subordinates: "..."

They still went in... From other places, they walked in fearfully into this palace with many rumors. It was rumored that the former queen not only died here, but also that the resentful spirit did not disappear after her death and lingered there. In this palace.

…

…

Iben failed to climb over the wall well, so of course he decided... not to climb over again, even though the consequence of not climbing over the wall this time was that he would fall freely in a very inelegant posture, and it would be very painful!

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Holding on to his waist, Iben climbed up in embarrassment. He looked at the surrounding environment and saw that there were no lights here. Not only was there no light in the palace even at night, it was even filled with an unexpected feeling of ice. A cold feeling.

He shivered subconsciously, and then quickly put his ear to the wall to listen to the movements of the palace guards on the other side of the wall.

After a while, when he heard the sound of hurriedly disappearing, Iben relaxed slightly.

"What is this place?"

It's just that the surroundings were too dark, and he couldn't see the road around him clearly, so he could only fumble forward... Darkness always makes it easy for people to fall into an atmosphere of fear. As Iben walked, he had He had a tingling feeling in his heart. He always felt as if there was a pair of eyes watching him from behind.

Looking back several times, I seemed to see a strange shadow floating in front of me. Iben was shocked and frightened. He no longer knew where he was in this dark palace... he was completely lost!

At this moment, a flash of fire came from ahead. Iben was overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the light source. Unexpectedly, he ran into the head guard and his subordinates who were chasing him all the way.

Iben shouted bad luck. Seeing that these six guards seemed to have discovered him at this time and ran towards him with all their might. Iben couldn't help but sigh loudly and simply stopped running, leaving these guys alone. Get yourself arrested and calculated.

It's not because he can't outrun these guards, it's simply because the guards have seen him clearly anyway. The City of the Sun is in the desert, and there are giant beasts around. There is no possibility of running away. Sooner or later, he will be If you're going to be caught...instead of hiding around, it's better to go to jail for a few months!

Prices in the City of the Sun are ridiculously high, and real estate prices are even more sky-high. It is impossible for young people to survive. In the City of the Sun today, the only way out for young people is to go to jail! You don’t have to pay to eat, you have a place to sleep, and the friends in prison around you talk nicely!

"Brothers! I was wrong! I surrender! I voluntarily entered the prison...can you give me a better cell? Wow, you don't need to welcome me so warmly, right?"

I saw that the six guards had no intention of stopping at this time. They ran towards Iben like crazy and even pushed him away... with a look of horror on their faces!

"What happened..." Ipburn, who fell to the ground after being pushed away, rubbed the painful place and hurriedly got up, but suddenly he took a breath of cold air, "!!!"

He suddenly understood what these guards were afraid of just now!

What appeared in front of him was a tall figure...grey, furry, with huge fangs and scarlet eyes, and...a face like an evil ghost!

In the darkness, this terrifying thing suddenly appeared in front of him. Iben's eyes darkened instinctively... but in an instant, he fell over in fear.

thump!

The strange thing lowered its head and looked at Iben who was motionless on the ground. After a while, seeing that Iben still had no reaction, he simply bent down and stretched out his hand, directly grabbed Iben's ankle, and slowly pulled him away. The ground was dragged deeper into the palace.

…

After the six guards hurriedly ran out of the former queen's residence, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were still full of fear.

"I told you...it's really fierce inside! You see, over the years, not many people are willing to go in. Not to mention the Pharaoh himself, even the maids are unwilling to come in and clean..."

"I... what should we do now? Will the queen's resentful spirit come to settle accounts with us... We have violated her resting place like this."

The leader of the guards said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, no one is allowed to tell anything about tonight... If anyone does, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he said that, the guard leader took out the saber from his waist and slashed it hard on the tree beside the road. The blade of the saber cut into the trunk of the tree... It was not shallow!

The guards nodded immediately, looking tight-lipped. After all, the Pharaoh had already given an order to this former queen's former residence. No one could break in without his permission... They were here to arrest people, to perform meritorious deeds, and to arrest people. In the end, I just planned to say that this was a guy suspected of being a giant beast caught outside!

"It's strange... didn't the priests in the temple say they had seen this place before and said there was nothing wrong with it? Why is the former queen's ghost still there..."

"Shut up! I said, no one is allowed to talk about this matter again... Have you seen my big knife here!" The head guard said, pointing to the big knife still hanging on the tree trunk!

Everyone was silent, not daring to say anything more. After that, the head guard asked these people to go and have a look... to see if anyone would notice that they had sneaked into the former queen's former residence. He was here to guard. Take a look.

In fact, the big knife that was cut into the trunk of the tree...can't be pulled out.

He glanced back at the dark palace behind him. He always felt that the darkness in front of him was like the mouth of a gigantic beast of unknown geometry, which was opening wide and devouring the palace.

Hmm...why can't it be pulled out?

…

…

Claudia once again walked uneasily back and forth in the room of the real princess. There were still white-robed guards outside the door, and there were twice as many as before.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a maid slowly walked in with a tray... There was no food on the tray, just a bottle like a wine flask, and a cup.

Claudia was about to speak, but her expression suddenly changed, because after the maid, another person also walked in... the high priest of the kingdom, a man who looked the same as her father, and even had the same name. !

The high priest still looked like a black robe, with an expressionless face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.

Claudia subconsciously took two steps back. After the maid put down her things, she asked the high priest to call her out... At this time, only Claudia and the high priest were left in the room.

The high priest did not speak, but silently poured the contents of the pot into the cup, and then put it like this. The meaning was very clear... He wanted Claudia to drink the contents of the cup!

Claudia was shocked and forced a smile on her face: "What...what is this?"

"It can make you forget a lot of troublesome things." The high priest held his hands in his wide sleeves and said calmly without moving closer: "Drink it, and you will have a completely different life... Soon, You will not feel sad things. Come, drink it."

The eyes of the high priest seemed to have an incredible magic power, which made Claudia feel dizzy at this moment... It felt like all her thoughts and reactions were like being stuck in a quagmire. She wanted to struggle, but she was so dizzy. The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Claudia's throat bulged quietly, and when she reacted, she had already walked to the table without knowing it, and even raised the cup with her hand, slowly bringing it to her mouth!

Claudia was suddenly startled... She broke out in a cold sweat. Her hands trembled and she knocked the cup over on the ground... What flowed out of the cup was some light green liquid. Claudia only felt Horrified, he said in a trembling voice: "Why was I so careless...I'm sorry, high priest, I failed you. No...but I think I am actually quite happy now. I don't need to drink something that can make people happy." ...Haha, haha, ah...haha..."

She felt like she couldn't speak anymore, and even wanted to turn around and run away... But reality didn't allow this!

But seeing that the high priest was not angry at this time, he just silently picked up the cup, picked up the pot and filled a cup of light green liquid again, "It doesn't matter, there are many here... If you don't take these carelessly, Even if it’s overturned, I still have a lot… enough.”

This time the high priest directly delivered the cup to Claudia. The dizzy feeling that made Claudia hit her again. She subconsciously reached out to take it... her hands were trembling, as if she was doing something. The final struggle.

"Believe me, I will not hurt you...my princess." The high priest said committing suicide at this moment.

The soft voice instantly overlapped with the image of her father in Claudia's memory, and as if her last sanity was defeated in an instant, her hands finally stopped shaking and she took the cup directly and steadily. , I was about to drink it like this.

The high priest's eyes gradually softened...and suddenly condensed!

Claudia, who was about to drink the liquid in the cup, suddenly threw the cup in her hand towards the high priest!

The liquid spilled out and splashed on the high priest's black robe, making it wet all at once... The high priest looked down at the clothes, but slowly exhaled. He looked at Claudia One glance.

Claudia's lips were dripping with blood... Obviously, in order to wake herself up, she finally bit her lip with her remaining sense.

"Something that makes people forget their happiness when they drink it... I think this is clearly that broken [holy water]!" Claudia was ready to risk her life, although her face was pale: "What I saw with my own eyes was you... you said it The monster that the real Princess Yamalana turned into... is you! This is not [holy water] at all... it is clearly poison!"

"Do you think so?" The high priest's expression still looked indifferent.

"What kind of giant beast pretended to be a princess with the intention of sneaking into the palace and destroying the temple... This is all a lie!" Claudia said sharply at this time: "I think you... you are the real giant beast! Do you want to I want to use [holy water] to make everyone in the city look like Princess Yamanlana...you, you devil!"

Faced with Claudia's accusation, the high priest opened his mouth, and then revealed a smile like a bitter smile. His voice seemed to be a little tired, and he said slowly: "I never noticed that your Imagination is so good...Claudia, what have you experienced these days?"

"I have a good imagination? Humph, I just based it on...wait?" Claudia couldn't help being surprised at this time, and she fell into a trance: "You...what did you call me?"

Her name...he...how did he know?
