Chapter 12 The Candy Dilemma
This is no ordinary dagger, it was specially made by Candy using the latest special steel.
Not to mention a door made of hard wood, she could easily get through it even if it was covered with a layer of iron.
The sharp dagger quickly penetrated the door panel and dug a small hole in the door panel.
Candy is lying on the door and can see the situation within five meters on both sides of the door.
After plugging the hole with a piece of rag, she sat on the floor with her back against the door, listening to the sounds outside.
Finally, when it got quiet outside, she got up and opened the rag.
Observing the situation outside through the small hole, there was no one in the field of vision and it was very quiet.
In the distance, a black cat is lying on the floor, seemingly sleeping soundly.
After making sure that no one was in the entire corridor, Candy slowly opened the door a crack.
She was about to walk out, somewhere down the corridor.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, step" to be heard.
Candy quickly closed the door gently, suppressing her nervousness, and looked out through the small hole in the door panel.
The footsteps have disappeared. The person who made the footsteps must have walked to the other side of the corridor.
A few minutes later, after Candy made sure that the entire corridor was empty, he opened the door again.
This time, like last time, she just opened the door a crack.
"Tap tap, tap tap" the rhythmic footsteps came again.
Candy had to close the door again and said, "What a ghost!"
She pressed her face against the door panel and looked outside again, but no one passed by.
"Is it the other side of the corridor again!"
"Forget it, go out later. How much money have these damn nobles squeezed out of the people? Their lives are so rotten. It's so late and they can't sleep well!"
The sounds Candy heard twice in a row were Xie Sheng controlling the black cat and hitting the floor with his paws to scare her back.
Xie Sheng saw Candy getting into the utility room and observed her for a while.
With the help of the black cat's extraordinary vision and keen senses, he discovered that Candy had drilled holes in the door.
When Candy tried to come out of the utility room for the first time, he was discovered by Song Zian, who controlled the black cat to tap the wooden floor with his paws.
Successfully scared the candy back.
He still has a lot of things to do, so naturally he can't put all his energy into candy.
Xie Sheng gave the black cat simple instructions.
As soon as the utility room door showed signs of opening, the black cat would tap the floor rhythmically with its paws.
If at any time, this trick no longer works, and candy comes out of the utility room, Black Cat needs to notify him immediately.
After arranging for the black cat to "receive" the candy, Xie Sheng found another black cat.
The black cat is now in the hall, lying on a tall bookcase.
Pay close attention to the townspeople lying in a mess on the carpet.
Lockerbie's cunning little eyes wandered around.
He is a noble politician, not a desperado like Candy.
If you want to be a big shot in the future, you must keep your background clean.
He had no intention of doing anything tonight except spending time with the townsfolk.
But no matter what achievements Candy makes, he will share half of it.
Because he also participated, if he hadn't brought the townspeople here, how could the candy have gotten into the castle.
For most of the townspeople, the castle is a place where they have worked before, and they will not feel unfamiliar here at all.
Some of the townspeople were chatting about the changes that had taken place in the castle, and some were already fast asleep.
The people whose relatives died in the tavern all had sad faces, and a few of them gathered around and whispered something.
From time to time, they looked at Lockerbie fiercely with their eyes.
Yes, if it hadn't been for that pub in Lockerbie, their children wouldn't have gone there and wouldn't have died in it!
It is indeed difficult to have anything to do with the Baron, but Lockerbie is different.
Lockerbie was thinking about his son who was still lying in bed and wondered how he was doing now.
He was full of ambitions and suddenly became a little discouraged. Meetings and speeches were more suitable for him.
Hey, you should go back to the Queen City as soon as possible. This is really not the place you should be.
Xie Sheng found the oriole bird.
The oriole sat in a tower garden.
Xie Sheng controlled the oriole to circle around and found a tower that was usually uninhabited with lights on.
In his memory, he had been to the central tower and knew the location of the tower where each member of the castle baron's family lived.
That used to be the limit that outsiders could reach, but now the limit is in front of the gate leading to the central tower.
So, who lives in that tower?
Curiosity prompted Xie Sheng to control the oriole to fly towards the tower.
I found two heavily armed soldiers standing on the rooftop of the tower in the distance.
These guys live up to their reputation and are statuesque, motionless.
The oriole bird landed on a flower tree in the garden and looked around.
I discovered that there were also fully armed soldiers standing in each of the four corners of the garden.
These soldiers were not the baron's veterans who acted as servants, but soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Guards.
The reason why these people did not go hunting on the beach with the "Seven Dwarfs" turned out to be a more important mission.
Then the previous chaos outside the castle must have a lot to do with the guests here.
"If you want to protect the Baron family, you must first find a way to find out who lives in the tower."
Xie Sheng curiously directed the oriole to find a way to enter the tower.
After Queen Sophia returned to the tower, she watched the Baron interact with the townspeople from the rooftop.
Two Royal Guardsmen were placed on the tower to avoid being seen.
He always stood motionless in the middle of the tower.
Poison Scorpion walked up to the rooftop, holding a fur coat in his hand, and gently put it on the Queen.
Poisonous Scorpion looked at the Queen with concern: "Your Highness, let's go to the room, Butler Hu has been urging you to eat."
"I'm not hungry yet, just wait a moment." Sophia remained motionless, looking down at the castle.
When gunshots came from the woods around the castle, Sophia looked calm and watched quietly from above.
"Your Highness the Queen," Poisonous Scorpion said softly.
Queen Sophia did not look back at her, but shook her head gently.
Venomous Scorpion took a step back and did not continue to persuade.
Her public identity is that she is Barrett's wife.
However, many years before she became Barrett's wife, when Venomous Scorpion was still a noble lady, she was already the secret bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Queen.
She is responsible for the queen's safety in social situations and knows this determined queen very well.
Anyone can make suggestions to Her Majesty the Queen.
But if she refuses, no one can change her will.
Queen Sophia did not leave the rooftop until the townspeople were led to the castle by the baron.
