"What's going on? Why are there puppet guards here?"
Just when Rabbit Chacha was stunned, he didn't notice that the puppet guard slowly turned his head.
Angel yanked a handful of Chacha and pulled back its protruding head. The puppet Chacha came to his senses and jumped down the stairs with Angel, clinging to the inner wall, holding his breath.
language.
In the corridor, the puppet guard looked at the stairs and then turned back. Its subjective consciousness did not find the problem. The reason why it turned its head was just to look subconsciously, and this was a subconscious warning... It was just a puppet guard.
The guards themselves did not notice this.
After Angel and Rabbit Chacha escaped the disaster, they did not dare to probe randomly again.
"This puppet imperial guard may have stronger anti-reconnaissance capabilities. It's best not to look directly at it, even through lenses." Angel suggested.
Naturally, he could not discover the situation of the puppet guards. The reason why he said this was just to act more cautiously.
Many times, established concepts can lead to people being careless. Rabbit Chacha has always felt that he can look through the lens without worrying about being discovered, but what if the puppet itself was created to target this kind of reconnaissance behavior?
Rabbit Chacha breathed a sigh of relief in fear: "Maybe you're right... But I can't figure it out. Why are there puppet guards here? There weren't any when I came last time."
"Could it be that the half-length mirror is inside, so Earl Black Tea sent imperial guards to guard it just to be cautious?"
Angel: "I don't think so."
If the half-length mirror is really precious, when Earl Black Tea leaves, wouldn't it be safer to ask the puppet guards to put the mirror in the treasure house? Why send someone to guard it outside.
A greater possibility is...
Angel: "Could it be because Earl Black Tea is alert?"
Rabbit Chacha turned his head: "What do you mean?"
Angel didn't dare to look at Rabbit Chacha, and said softly: "Maybe the study was robbed not long ago, so Earl Black Tea sent guards to guard it in order to avoid such a situation happening again."
Rabbit Chacha touched his chin: "What you said makes sense... Huh?! No, you're not talking about me, are you? You're calling me a thief?"
Rabbit Chacha's eyes widened and his cheeks swelled with anger.
Angel quickly reassured: "That's not what I meant. I was just a guess. A guess."
Rabbit Chacha stared at Angel with squinted eyes for a while, then snorted and tilted his head: "Forget it, what you said... makes sense."
Rabbit Chacha's tone became a bit sad: "Perhaps it was really because I borrowed a hat from the study that caused Earl Black Tea to be alert and arrange for imperial guards."
Angel: ...Well, it's "borrowing". The cute little rabbit wants a hat, how can it be said to be stealing?
"Then what should we do now?" Rabbit Chacha lamented: "The puppet guard will not move around at will. Since it is arranged at the door of the study, it will definitely not move in a short time. If it does not move, we will not be able to get there.
...Sigh, it’s a bit difficult to handle now.”
Angel also fell into thinking.
As Rabbit Chacha said, the current situation is indeed a bit difficult. If the puppet guards don't leave, they won't be able to sneak in secretly.
After a period of silence, Rabbit Chacha's eyes suddenly lit up: "I thought of a way."
Angel looked at the rabbit Chacha, waiting for what he said.
"I'll lure it away, and you sneak into the study quietly." Rabbit Chacha said excitedly about his plan, which could be summed up in one word: make an attack in the east and attack in the west.
Angel: "In this way, you will be discovered."
Rabbit Chacha shook his head: "I am very good at onomatopoeia. As long as the patrol maid is far away, I will go to the window and pretend to be a hungry crow, and then make a low cry. The puppet guards will definitely come to check, and then,
You can rush to the study. The tea servant's entrance is under the door, and you can climb in without too much effort, so the plan will be successful."
"You don't have to worry about me. I have a way to become invisible, so the imperial guards can't find me."
Rabbit Chacha was very confident, and Angel also believed that its invisibility must be its secret skill, and maybe it could really deceive the imperial guards.
The whole plan is indeed very feasible, but Angel still shook his head: "No, even if the imperial guards don't find you, they will definitely become suspicious."
As long as the puppets are not aware of any abnormalities in the Black Tea Castle, it is a low-level infiltration. But when the puppets start to become suspicious and all become alert, the infiltration mode of the Black Tea Castle will directly reach high explosive levels.
Even if Angel could reach the study smoothly, or even say that he was lucky enough to find the half-length mirror in the study and leave the omen, he would not be able to completely feel at ease.
Because Rabbit Chacha may not be able to escape smoothly when the puppet servants are highly alert.
Before that, Angel thought the omen was just a dream. But after experiencing this, Angel felt that the omen was too real, so real that... maybe it was a corner of some distant world.
Even if it is not true, maybe there is still a way to affect reality... Just like the compliment Augustine gave casually - "the poet bathed in the moonlight", it affected the end of his visit to the underground sewer.
Therefore, if something happens to Rabbit Chacha here, it might also affect the real rabbit.
Angel was so careful along the way that he even used his saddlebags as a rag to wipe away their traces, just to prevent them from being exposed and to prevent Rabbit Chacha from being in danger.
What's more, Angel received help from Chacha many times along the way. In return, Angel couldn't see Chacha getting into danger because of him.
"It doesn't matter if you are suspicious. Anyway, you just need to enter the study room..." Rabbit Chacha said still nonchalantly.
Angel shook his head. He did not express his inner thoughts, but said calmly: "If the puppets are suspicious here, then we will not be able to get to the treasure house. Therefore, we'd better not do anything to attract their attention.
, making false claims in the east and attacking in the west will definitely make them suspicious."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Rabbit Chacha: "Then do you have any solution?"
Angel was silent.
Rabbit Chacha waved his hand: "Look, you can't help it, you might as well do as I say. As for the treasure house, you can come back next time if you have a chance."
Next time? Now that the count has left, the difficulty is already a bit high. When the count comes back, will they still want to hide in the treasure house?
Angel pondered for a moment, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind: that was the picture of them behind the tree in the atrium.
"It's not impossible." Angel whispered.
Rabbit Chacha: "What can I do?"
Angel: "Climb the wall."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Angel and Rabbit Chacha cautiously arrived at the fifth floor.
After bypassing the patrol maid, they arrived at the terrace on the fifth floor.
Before they even reached the edge of the terrace, a gust of night wind blew up, knocking Angel and Rabbit Chacha off their feet. Fortunately Rabbit Chacha hugged the terrace door in time, otherwise they might have been carried away by the wind.
A minute later, Chacha, the rabbit hiding in the corner of the balcony, looked at Angel: "Are you really determined to jump from here?"
Angel: "This method will not attract the attention of those puppets. Moreover, when I was by the pond before, I saw that the window of the study was open. I have a chance to get in."
"Besides, it's not far from the fifth floor to the fourth floor."
Rabbit Chacha said thoughtfully: "It's indeed not far, but the wind is very strong. If it blows even a little bit, we will be gone."
Angel: "It's not us, it's me."
Rabbit Chacha was stunned: "Ah?"
Angel whispered: "You have helped me a lot along the way. This time, I will do it myself."
Climbing the wall is dangerous, and Angel knows that, so he will take the risk on his own instead of dragging Chacha with him.
"No, since I'm coming with you..."
Angel interrupted: "Nothing is wrong, have you forgotten my 'glider'?"
Angel adjusted the saddle bag on his body: "If I can't hold on, I will be blown off at most. With the hang glider, as long as I don't fall into the pond, I will be fine."
"Besides, after I am blown down by the wind, I still need you to pick me up, so don't go."
"Either wait for me to succeed, and I will return to the world directly, and you can leave the castle safely. Or wait for me to fail, and be blown away by the wind, and you can wait for me below."
Rabbit Chacha listened to the options given by Angel with a hesitant expression. It sounded like there would be no problem, and the worst he could do was to start over after being dismissed.
Thinking like this, Rabbit Chacha nodded after hesitating for a moment: "Well, then be careful."
Angel nodded.
After waiting silently for a while, and after confirming that the wind had calmed down a bit and that there was no wind coming for the time being, Angel set off.
He cautiously came to the edge of the terrace and said to the rabbit who was following him: "Wait a minute, if I don't appear at the window within ten minutes after I go in, it means I succeeded, and maybe I will return to the human world.
"
"If it appears at the window within ten minutes, then we should consider heading towards the treasure house."
Angel could see Rabbit Chacha's worry, so he didn't say anything like "don't worry" at this time, but directly assumed what would happen after he successfully entered the study.
"Also, I must have succeeded if I didn't come out. Then you may have to forgive me and leave without saying goodbye... Thank you for your help. I hope I have the opportunity to see you again in the future."
Rabbit Chacha was originally worried about Angel's wall-climbing career, but was directly led astray by Angel's words: "It's best not to meet each other. Teapot Country is very dangerous, so just stay in the human world."
"
Angel smiled: "This time I see you as a mortal, maybe next time I see you you will be an extraordinary person."
Rabbit Chacha shook his head: "Even if you are an extraordinary person, it is still dangerous to come to the Teapot Kingdom. You didn't meet Earl Black Tea this time. If you really meet him, even if you just take a sneak peek, you will understand what it means.
gap."
"Furthermore, the Black Tea Earl is not the strongest in the Teapot Kingdom. There are too many people stronger than the Black Tea Earl. For example, just to the south of the Black Tea Forest is the territory of the Black Tea Duke. The Black Tea Duke is the strongest among the strong.
, I guess only the Teapot Royal Family can suppress him."
"So, don't even think about coming to the Teapot Country. The Teapot Country is very dangerous. If you're not careful, you will become... a human or an animal."
At this point, Rabbit Chacha saw that Angel still looked indifferent, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "I have a human friend, who was turned into a human or animal by the Green Tea Princess..."
Angel could see that Rabbit Chacha was sincerely trying to dissuade Angel from coming to the Teapot Country again, and even revealed the secrets he had buried in his heart.
Previously, Rabbit Chacha was obviously a little sad when mentioning humans and animals, perhaps because of this incident.
Angel: "Listen to what you say...Teapot Country is indeed very dangerous."
Rabbit Chacha nodded fiercely: "So, you must not come."
Angel sighed softly: "But, this is not a decision I can make."
Rabbit Chacha didn't hear something clearly and asked doubtfully: "Huh?"
Angel: "It's nothing. What I mean is that my entry into the Teapot Country this time was also an accident. No one can be sure. I will have no accidents in the future."
Angel refined a half-length mirror in reality, and the mirror appeared in the Teapot Kingdom in the Omen.
Maybe next time he will refine something, and the strange sign will come to the Teapot Kingdom again.
Of course, the probability of a "series" of alchemical omens is very small, but after all, he used the "Mad Hatter's Coronation", a mysterious magic pattern from the Teapot Kingdom. It is not impossible to come to the Teapot Kingdom next time.
.
Angel: "If I really have an accident next time and come to the Teapot Country, will I be able to find you?"
Rabbit Chacha: "You'd better not think about this possibility."
Angel shrugged: "I said if, just in case."
Rabbit Chacha thought for a moment and then said: "If you are really unfortunate enough to fall into the Teapot Kingdom again, you can try calling me."
"How to call?"
Rabbit Chacha: "I'll teach you a sacrificial ritual. You don't need to sacrifice meat. You can sacrifice a hat, a teapot, or a teacup. You write my name on the sacrifice, and I will follow the atmosphere of the ritual.
Came to find you."
After speaking, Rabbit Chacha dictated the process of a sacrificial ceremony.
With Angel's knowledge, it was easy to see that there was nothing wrong with this ritual. Moreover, it was a ritual that even mortals could arrange.
Rabbit Chacha: "Remember, this ritual can only be used if you accidentally fall into the Teapot Kingdom. If you use it in the human world, it will have no effect."
Angel nodded: "I remember."
Immediately afterwards, Angel waved to Rabbit Chacha: "We've almost finished chatting. I'm going down. Goodbye."
After speaking, Angel began to crawl down the crack in the wall.
The reason why he started climbing the wall so suddenly was because he didn't want to give the rabbit Chacha time to react. If it came to its senses, it would probably be worried again.
