The weather seemed to be getting colder, and a faint layer of fog appeared in the military camp for no reason. With nothing to do, the knights and servants sat on the ground and closed their eyes to rest, while Amy leaned on the pile of rocks and watched boredly.
.But they waited for a long time, and still no follow-up search team came here.
Amy suddenly screamed "Ah". The knight and his followers quickly opened their eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My clothes accidentally got caught on the rocks." Amy raised her left sleeve unhappily. The clothes, which looked very expensive, were now torn in a large piece.
There is also a piece of floating cloth hanging.
"This piece of clothing is equivalent to one pound of clothes I bought before. I originally wanted to put it in the closet for viewing, but Your Majesty insisted that I wear it out. Now it's fine. It's torn. I have to go back and mend it."
"Mend?" The knight and the retinue were stunned. They had never seen someone wearing such expensive clothes go back to mend the clothes. The knight also felt that something was wrong. But the retinue didn't dare to ask, and the knight didn't think so.
It was convenient to ask more questions, so no one mentioned it.
"Speaking of which, these piles of rocks look like they are placed randomly, but upon closer inspection, they are quite particular."
"Essential?" The knight tilted his head and stared at the pile of rocks in front of Amy for a long time, unable to figure out what was going on.
So Amy waved him to where she was standing, pointed in a direction and said, "Look in that direction."
The knight tilted his head again and looked carefully for a long time. The stone was still a stone, and the pile of stones was still a pile of stones. Other than that, he found nothing unusual.
"Come here again." Amy pulled the knight to the other side and asked him to turn around and look in the opposite direction. "Do you see anything now?"
The knight narrowed his eyes. This time, it didn't take long for him to react: "It's almost the same thing as what he saw from the perspective just now?"
"Yes, it's the same! The things seen from the other two directions are all the same! Isn't it amazing?"
"How could this happen?" The knight blinked stupidly and asked, "Then which direction is east and which direction is west now?"
"Huh? We came from the east, that is, this direction, right?" Amy pointed to the side without thinking, but soon, a hesitant expression appeared on her face, "It seems to be this way? No.
, this side?”
The knight had no choice but to ask the four retinues: "Do you remember which direction we came in from?"
The four retinues all stretched out their hands without thinking, but they pointed to four different directions.
An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of everyone present. Amy said half-jokingly: "We are not going to get lost in the military camp, right?"
"We can't stay here any longer." The knight said, "Any direction is good, let's get out of this weird place first!"
Amy nodded. So they packed up their bags, randomly chose a direction and hurried over.
There were strange calls of birds in the sky, and a thin layer of fog floated on the ground. This made Amy feel more and more panicked. But she still comforted everyone: "It doesn't matter, we are not children, how can we get lost in a military camp?
I think the remaining people have finished searching and are waiting for us outside the military camp.
"You're right." The knight nodded calmly, "We just saw this military camp in the highlands. It extends in all directions. It's not a maze. Just go out in one direction."
"It doesn't matter if it's a maze. The legendary Cretan maze is much bigger than this!" Amy agreed, "That maze is as big as a city, and there are bull-headed monsters in it that eat people! In the end, it's not
It was cracked by a prince who made marks with a yarn ball!"
"What is that?" the servants asked curiously. They had never heard of this story.
"Hey, I don't know. It's a legend from the Empire of the Seven Hills, about the hero Theseus. A long time ago, the king of Crete built a labyrinth and raised a monster in it, forcing everyone to
Send twelve people into the maze to feed the monsters..."
As soon as the legend was mentioned, Amy's interest rose. She told the knights and knights' retinues the story of Theseus' cracking of the labyrinth in a clear and concise manner. When it came to Theseus' battle with the Minotaur, she pretended to be Theseus for a while.
Si, for a while, acted as the Minotaur, dancing and demonstrating. At the climax, she even threw a small fireball on a rock.
"That's it, Minotaus was defeated by the hero king Theseus! Congratulations, congratulations!"
The front suddenly became clear, and a large camp appeared in front of Amy's eyes. The camp was surrounded by rocks, and on one of the rocks was the cloth just torn from Amy's sleeves.
"Are you really lost???" Amy panicked, "I, I will tear the clothes into silk threads to mark them right now. You can cover your eyes with cloth and don't peek..."
The knight stretched out his hand to stop Amy. He took out a money bag from his waist with a stern expression, handed a pile of gold coins into the hands of a retinue, and ordered: "Take these as a mark and throw one at every intersection."
.”
Normally, someone would definitely ask, "Really do this?" But everyone was already aware of the seriousness of the situation, and no one complained about this extravagant plan. Although they saw no trace of the enemy, they
Still holding the sword in his hand, he carefully checked the surrounding situation with every step he took.
The further they walked, the more frightened they became. They didn't notice it when they first entered the formation, but now they were in a panic. The rocks looked more and more like human figures. The towering spiers were like spears standing upright in the military formation, and
There seemed to be eyes out of nowhere in the pile of rocks, watching their every move all the time.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, flying sand and rocks. Birds sang sharply, as if mourning or weeping. There was a faint sound of waves in the distance. When they realized that this was not the seaside, the sound suddenly sounded like the sound of swords and drums.
The dusk was getting darker. Amy and others relied on the marks of gold coins and groped forward cautiously. The eyes finally became bright again. They rushed over with cheers, but what greeted them was the same camp and the same rocks. On the rocks
Amy's sleeves were floating, like a woman waving a handkerchief and crying in the wind.
"Back again? Where's the gold coin mark we made?"
"It's gone!" The guard who threw the gold coin shouted in horror, "Who picked it up!"
"Oops, someone is ambushing inside!" The knight turned to look at Amy in a panic, "What should we do now?"
Amy saw the dead mouse again. The scattered small gravels around it now frightened Amy. She tremblingly stretched out her hand and looked at the mouse carefully. There were no wounds on the mouse.
, it doesn’t look like he was poisoned, just his stomach is flat——
It starved to death in the small circle of gravel around it.
