(fifty-five) Imperial Capital (Euphistan Miz, III)
"Okay. From now on, you will be called Da Hui, Er Hui, San Hui and Xiao Hui." Lin named them according to their body shape. The gray mice stood up and nodded, as if they really understood.
General, "Now Big Gray, you have to go to the end of this corridor on the left, and then come back and tell me what you saw -"
After listening to the instructions, the mice squeaked and dispersed. Soon after, they returned to the same place one after another, squeaked and reported to Lin, rested for a while, and then got the next task.
"What did they say?" After a while, Yuffie asked her funnyly, "When did you learn rat language?"
"It's actually a talent of the dragon clan." Lin laughed, "It is said that dragons can speak ten thousand languages. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is still no problem to understand most animals."
Footsteps were heard not far away, and Lin patted a few mice around her. They quickly returned to their ferocious appearance and surrounded the two of them. Soon after, two guards carried oil lamps and walked outside the cell to look at them.
.
"Two gentlemen." Yuffie huddled next to Lin, pretending to be scared, "I don't know why they...have been staying here. Can you help drive them away?"
The guard looked at them and chuckled twice, "Because they like the smell of you, little girl. Be careful if you fall asleep and get eaten by them." After that, the two walked away and ignored them again.
.
The pink girl listened to the footsteps and walked away, looking at her friend. Lin grinned silently and gave her a thumbs up.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the guards, they slightly reduced the frequency of exploration and continued this operation for more than half a day.
As night falls, the surrounding temperature gradually drops. Glow City is located in the middle of the Oren Empire, and the cell is still very cold on winter nights. The slightly older man opposite huddled up, making dull coughs and low voices from time to time.
The curse. Yuffie and Lin are both mature travelers and are able to take the current environment calmly. They cuddle up together and transfer their body heat to each other.
The guard didn't bring the next meal until about noon on the second day. They ate some simply - the black bread was dry and hard, but they could be nibbled to relieve their boredom. Lin fed the gray mice as usual and ordered them to run away a little.
Some of them were picked up to confirm the location of the prison. In addition, she also asked them to pick up several large earthworms more than 20 centimeters long from the ground and keep them beside her.
"This is underground... It's probably not far from Victory Square, about ten meters above the ground." After listening to the chirping 'reports' of the gray mice, Lin roughly judged the above facts, "As long as we deal with it quickly
If you remove the guards on this level, there will be no problem if you leave - where are you, are you ready?"
Yuffie nodded, "There are thirty-two people on this floor excluding the guards. Twenty of them responded to my voice and expressed their desire to leave here. Give me a quarter of an hour."
That also comes from the power of the "Lord of Heaven". On a smaller scale, she can use the Edda fragments in her body to achieve an oracle-like transmission effect. This only requires her own will to call on the nearby magical network.
, thus free from the influence of magic power restrictions.
They waited quietly for the day to pass, finished their dinner, felt the surrounding temperature slowly drop again, and then started to take action.
Lin took out a vial containing a red potion and a smaller box containing a colorless viscous liquid from her body. She mixed their contents together, mixed them with bread, and fed them to the largest one.
Gray mouse.
The mouse squeaked and turned around anxiously in the cell. The power of the potion began to take effect, its body quickly expanded, its hair turned bright red, and its sharp incisors seemed longer, shining with a metallic luster.
.
In just a few minutes, the gray mouse that was originally twenty centimeters long grew into a 'beast' that was nearly one meter long. It stared at the two of them with blood-red eyes. Yuffie was a little nervous, worried that it would suddenly attack. The blond
The girl stretched out her hands, handed them to it, and gave the order briskly.
"Come on, Dahui, bite this open."
Facts have proved that the enlarged gray mouse is still docile and obedient - the effect of the previous medicine is still there. It opened its mouth, tried it carefully, and then bit hard again and again. The strong iron ring was on its harder
It quickly deformed and twisted under the sharp teeth, and finally broke into two pieces.
"Well...it hurts. Sure enough, this is still a bit too violent." Lin forcefully broke open the shapeless iron shackles and threw them aside. Because they originally fit well, the deformed iron rings cut the blond girl's wrist.
It's full of blood and looks a little scary.
Lin herself didn't seem to care much. She patted Big Gray's head approvingly, came to Yuffie's side, burned the iron ring in her hand with her golden flame breath, and then broke it in half.
Yuffie once again felt the magic in the air. Regardless of the burning pain in her wrist, she quickly treated Lin's wounds, "So, don't use such rough methods next time."
"Everything will be fine if it turns out well. Then, let's move on to the next step." Lin said briskly, "I'll deal with those poor guards, and I'll leave it to you to summon the others."
The two high-fived each other softly. Lin hid her figure and turned into mist first to pass through the iron bars. Yuffie walked to the door and studied the structure of the cell door carefully. As she expected, there was an alarm hidden on the door.
The spell will be triggered if you break the door rashly - this simple trap can only deceive inexperienced wizards. She temporarily suppressed the alarm spell and used magic to unlock the door without causing any unnecessary noise.
Then she went to the cell of each person who responded to her in turn, opened the door, and directed the other person to the predetermined meeting point. On the way, three prisoners temporarily asked to join, and she agreed to their request.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yuffie returned to the door of the cell where she was originally imprisoned. Lin quickly rushed back and gave her a thumbs up, apparently having subdued the guards. The former prisoners gathered together, all using slightly
He looked at them with suspicion and expectation, and occasionally whispered a few words.
"There is only one last step left." Yuffie looked around at the people around her and said calmly. She created a sound barrier outside the crowd to avoid being heard by the guards above. "In order to ensure safety, we may have to
Walk a certain distance, please hold on."
The surrounding prisoners nodded one after another. Most of them looked very haggard, but standing there at this time, they could still see a slightly extraordinary bearing. She softly recited Edda's prayer, injecting a little vitality into them. At the same time,
At the same time, Lin opened her pocket and took out several bottles of the same liquid as before.
"This is still a stock from the college days... It's really troublesome to make this thing." The blonde girl complained with some distress, "The materials are also very expensive... I really want that guy named Hughes to pay me."
Yuffie suddenly remembered something and quickly opened her pocket to check. Sure enough, she found that there was an extra note inside, and the precious gems she got in the mystery lock were much less. She unfolded the note, and there were dragons and phoenixes dancing on it.
scrawled handwriting.
"Hey, congratulations!
But it must be emphasized that I am not your ally. It’s just that compared to you, the red-haired emperor is even more disgusting!
There is another little girl from the Dragon Clan...what is her name? Forget it, don't worry about the little things. Anyway, you are still far behind. When you have time, go and learn something from the little witch and that old madman Fanka.
Bar!
In addition, those two pairs of magic-forbidden bracelets are mine. I’ll sell them to you at a 30% discount, totaling 150 imperial gold coins. Is that cheap enough?
The goods have been given to you, and I will take the payment myself - if you damage them, it will not be my responsibility!
Finally, don't tell the little witch these things, otherwise I will be angry!
——Hughes Darkeyes, who likes ogre heads."
"Mr. Hughes... is really a difficult person to evaluate." Yuffie shook her head and said softly, "I wonder if he was the same twenty years ago as he is now."
"He is just a guy with poor interests, chaotic personality, and bad character." Lin turned to her face, read the content on the note, and curled her lips, "One day I will have to pay him this time and the previous debt."
I got my debt back, including the principal and interest!"
