11:20pm.
Royce was waiting anxiously in a tavern outside the palace. He looked at the back door of the palace. The guards who changed shifts would enter at 0 o'clock.
The guards were not allowed to live in the palace. They were in an area near the palace. Roy was sitting in a tavern. He was still waiting for the news to be sent back from the palace.
Victor had contacted him several times. At this time, the door of the palace finally opened, and some guards on duty entered. Royce stood up, and soon he saw a familiar figure.
After a while, several off-duty guards came towards the tavern. Royce calmly got up and went to the bathroom. A guard came in and handed the note to Royce.
(Let’s go out if we find a way)
Royce laughed happily. He turned around to pay the bill and left the tavern. Then he ran quickly for a while, entered an alley, and entered the basement through a secret door. Victor and some family members were waiting.
"I see."
After Victor finished speaking, people from other families raised objections. They felt that they could not continue to be involved with the clones. If things continued like this, they would be in trouble.
"Do you think it's possible for us to do it?"
Royce scratched his head and said.
"It's impossible to avoid the palace's surveillance and bring people out safely."
Victor felt a little uncomfortable and looked anxious.
"Everyone, we must continue to cooperate with such an excellent clone. The benefits the Queen can give us now are just a temporary measure. Who knows what will happen in the next three to five years? Then Helt is a special clone.
Can live for a long time."
Victor's words dispelled the doubts of the family members, and everyone discussed how to avoid surveillance and rescue Hult and the others. At this time, Royce thought of something and he smiled.
"Everyone, I have an idea."
Victor immediately smiled.
"Say it."
Royce took out a crystal screen and then called up the map, he said.
"This place is about 25 meters away from the garden. We have all been to the palace garden. It may be the only blind spot in the palace. Because of the dense vegetation, there is a chance."
No one quite understood what Royce was thinking, he smiled.
"It's very simple, we just need to dig a tunnel big enough for people to pass through quickly."
Victor laughed heartily and then said.
"This is a good idea."
"But we have to be prepared. We may only have 10 minutes at most. Within 10 minutes, we have to fill the tunnel, otherwise traces will be left."
After Royce finished speaking, Victor stood up and said.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Royce nodded. This was the only way to rescue Hult and the others. After all, the local surveillance was so intensive the day before yesterday that there were no blind spots.
If Helt and the others disappeared into the palace, the people responsible for surveillance would immediately be on alert, and then the area where Helt and the others disappeared would be thoroughly investigated, so there must be prerequisites for cooperation in this matter.
"But one thing, Mr. Victor, you have to find a way to cooperate with my actions on the night of escape."
Victor wondered.
"How to cooperate?"
"No matter what reason you use, hold a banquet in the palace on the night of your escape. If there is a way to do it, our risk will be smaller. After I rescue them, I will have at least 20 minutes to make up for it.
The tunnel made it completely impossible for them to find any traces of Hult and his companions.”
Victor smiled.
"It's not a big deal, we can just sum it up. Hurry up and have someone deliver the note to Helter."
Royce nodded and then left the room. Victor felt relieved. He had to rescue Helt. Firstly, he wanted to continue to cooperate with him in the future. Secondly, he wanted Helt to give the order.
The clones on the periphery should not attack the family's mine without any reason.
After all, the clones will not occupy the mine that is being attacked. Instead, they will plunder it and leave, waiting for someone to repair it before launching another attack.
The recent series of behaviors of the clones have made the family members quite uncomfortable. If this continues, the family will suffer huge losses.
Victor knows that the Queen wants to check and balance everything, but one day she will show her fangs.
"Everyone, there is no need for us to continue discussing this matter now. After we rescue Hult, we will have a good discussion with him."
After Victor finished speaking, everyone stood up. In such an empire, it is very difficult for merchants to raise their heads. After all, the Queen will not let them raise their heads.
"Then have you thought about how to hold a banquet in the palace?"
Victor thought for a while and said.
"So many soldiers have died in the empire recently. Let's hold a charity fundraiser. I will take the lead. I believe the queen will agree. After all, we can help them support the relatives of the soldiers."
Everyone praised Victor's agility. It is true that the empire now needs to provide a large amount of pensions to the relatives of the soldiers, and if the family participates, it can help the empire's finances reduce a large amount of expenditure.
0 o'clock.
Helter looked a little drunk and looked at everything outside the window. The glass in front of him was special and could not be opened or broken. He had been placed under house arrest. Yuna and Katerina had also been separated. The deadline given by the Queen was
One week.
What Helt was thinking about now was how the family was going to rescue them. Helt understood after a little observation. This palace looked beautiful, but in fact it was like a solid fortress.
It was almost impossible to leave from here. Helt looked at the large garden below and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He wanted to remind the family that the garden was probably the only loophole in the palace.
If they could dig a tunnel from the outside and open an opening in the trees, Hult and the others could leave from that place.
Although this plan is relatively risky, it is indeed the best choice and the one most likely to allow Hult and the others to escape from the palace.
Drunkness combined with sleepiness hit him all at once. Helt yawned and lay on the bed. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning. At this time, someone came to deliver food and came in with a dining cart.
Hurt picked up the bread and artificial honey, spread it on it and ate it, but soon he felt something strange in his mouth. He got up and went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, started taking a shower, and then took out the food from his mouth.
A small note.
(Six days later at 8pm, go to the garden, that is your escape hatch)
After reading it, Hurt knew it clearly. He quickly tore up the note and started to take a shower.
In the afternoon, Hert had a chance to go out briefly, and Katerina was already waiting for him in the garden.
"Looking at the worried look on your face, what's going on?"
Katerina asked, and Hurt smiled and said.
"It's nothing."
Katerina asked, realizing what the Queen had said to Helt.
"What exactly is it, tell me."
"I'll tell you in a few days."
As Helt said, Katerina finally gave up. The two chatted for a while. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Helt was brought back to the room. He could still only sit outside the window, overlooking the streets of the city.
.
Hert looked outside the garden and saw a bakery on the street opposite the palace. Then he visually measured the distance, which was at most 30 meters. Helt saw a few dense trees in the corner.
Helt soon made up his mind. If the family wanted to dig a tunnel, they would come from the bakery and open a hole next to the big tree. The three of them only needed to go down and they would be safe.
He left the palace without anyone noticing.
But things probably won't go so smoothly. How to show up in the garden? Helt only has one chance to go out every day, which is at noon.
The only way to get the three of them to appear outside at the same time is to agree to all the queen's conditions.
But now the question that Hurt is thinking about is whether the queen can trust him.
After thinking about it, Herthes decided to agree to the queen's conditions one day in advance on the morning of the fifth day to gain the opportunity to go out freely and be able to bring his two wives with him at the same time.
On the sixth day, the family will definitely take action, and this action will definitely be big, because if you want to deceive others and allow them to escape smoothly, you can't just dig a tunnel.
At this time, the queen, who was about to read some documents in the room, received a message. The queen looked at the proposal from the initiator Victor with suspicion.
"How could they be so kind? Do they want to win people's hearts?"
Victor proposed to hold an unusual charity dinner in the palace garden in the afternoon five days later. At that time, the whole family would attend, and all the money donated would be used as pensions for the fallen soldiers.
