Before going to the roof of the wing building, 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 was easier because there was also a sewage pipe. 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 passage was considered a narrow passage for people the size of thumbs, and was probably only two palms wide. It was
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 I discover this path?
Angel chimed in 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. Opening the windows is 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, we can 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. As long as you are not careful, you will
Might 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 after hearing this. It turned out that Rabbit Chacha kept letting him climb the pipe because of his weakness?
However, as Rabbit Chacha said, is there no way to enter the room through the window? Isn't there a pipe that happens to be right next to the window?
Angel also stood up, cautiously sticking his head out and looking down.
This sight made him take a breath of cold air.
He had always felt that the third floor was quite low before, but he had forgotten that he had become a thumb man at this time. With his current size, if he compared the height of the third floor, it would be a huge chasm!
Moreover, Rabbit Chacha was right. The walls of the castle were very smooth. Even if there were cracks in the bricks, it would be difficult to ensure that one could 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 because of Angel's safety.
"Let's go." Rabbit Chacha finished his talk and continued walking forward.
But after walking a few steps, he discovered 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 hands.
"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 side building.
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 gave Angel a better understanding of why it is difficult to climb through the window. This climb was only half a meter, and Angel was tired and gasping for air. Thinking about the height of the third floor
, Angel was completely weak.
Fortunately, there are many gaps in the bricks of the flue, which gave Angel time to rest. Otherwise, if he wanted to climb to the top in one go, I don’t know how long it would take.
When they reached the top of the flue, Chacha, the rabbit, had been waiting for a long time. Before Angel could rest, he grabbed his hand.
While Angel was still wondering, a gust of cold wind blew.
Angel immediately felt weightless in his body, and his feet were blown off the ground. It was thanks to Rabbit Chacha that he was still holding him, otherwise he would have really finished playing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the wind stopped, Rabbit Chacha let go of his hand: "Now you know how dangerous it is to climb the wall with bare hands. When you climbed the wall just now, you were facing the wind.
The location is fine, so it’s okay. Think about it, what would it be like if you were following the wind, or if the wind blew from your side.”
Angel didn't know what the situation was like, because he didn't dare to think about it at all!
Rabbit Chacha looked at the dark sky: "The wind will probably come again later, so don't waste time outside. Let's go into the castle quickly."
After speaking, Rabbit Chacha took off his hat and shook it gently. The teapot hat swelled up in the wind, doubled in size, and filled with air inside.
"Hurry up!"
After saying this, Rabbit Chacha used the teapot hat as a "parachute" and jumped directly into the flue.
When Angel saw this, he hurriedly grabbed one side of the teapot hat.
Angel only felt a moment of weightlessness, followed by a leisurely fall. After about dozens of seconds, they finally landed on the ground.
Angel waited for several seconds before his uncontrollable heartbeat gradually slowed down. At this time, Angel stood up and observed his surroundings.
The place where they are now is a pile of firewood, probably an unlit stove.
"Lucky! There is no one here, you can come out." Rabbit Chacha's voice came.
Angel looked over and found that Chacha, the rabbit, had already walked out of the firewood and was walking around the room.
After making sure that there was no one in the room, Angel also walked out. Before leaving, Angel did not forget to wipe off the footprints of himself and Rabbit Chacha.
"This is the guest bedroom on the third floor of the side building. No one usually comes here." Rabbit Chacha said as he climbed up along the corner of a table and took a silver fork from the table. "This thing is still good."
Not bad, you can make a flag when you go back."
Then, Angel saw Rabbit Chacha put the fork into the hat.
Angel didn't know how the huge fork disappeared into the teapot hat, but he seemed to understand now why the rabbit Chacha also followed him to the castle.
Maybe it's not just helping him find the mirror, but it should also use the castle as its own backup library.
I guess everything in the rabbit hole was brought from the castle.
"If you have anything you like, you can take it. No one will come here anyway, and even if people do come, they don't know what is missing." Rabbit Chacha: "That's the best thing about the side building."
Angel shook his head: "No, even if I take it, I can't take it away."
Rabbit Chacha looked Angel up and down and nodded: "That's right, you have no place to store things... But, having said that, if you find the mirror, how will you take it with you?"
Angel: "I don't know either, and I don't necessarily want to take him away."
Angel speculated that finding the mirror might be the key to the omen, rather than taking it away.
If you think about it, you can understand, where can you take the mirror away? This is an omen after all. If the mirror is taken outside, it is basically the same as if the mirror is left here.
