Chapter 66 The Secret of the Government
After the monk finished speaking, he was about to close the door. The strange young woman quickly stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Huigang, I'm sorry for coming here to disturb me so late. I am the maid of His Majesty Anti. She has important things to come to you. I hope you can go with me once."
The eldest princess, when she heard the name of the monk, the cold words suddenly appeared in her heart, and she did not admit that Fei'er was a princess woman. She couldn't help but feel disgusted in her heart, and she reached out to close the door.
"I have no intersection with the eldest princess. It's so late, so it's so inconvenient. Please come back with the female donor."
"It's about His Highness Fei'er."
The monk's movement of closing the door stopped immediately, pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision, put on his outer robe, greeted the two young men next door, and followed the maid out.
The Maya City was not deserted late at night, and all kinds of places that were open all night were brightly lit, but these beautiful lights did not cover up the moonlight in the sky. Huigang, who already had some understanding of the world, looked up at the sky and found that the jade-colored moon was hanging in the air in a round circle, and another blood-red moon was hanging not far away, with only a small gap.
It seems that tomorrow is the two-month night in this world. The red moon and the jade moon are intact in the sky, once a year. It is said that on the two-month night every year, there is a moon that cannot be seen clearly by the naked eye. Only after ten years can the two moons truly reflect the night sky at the most round time.
Huigang sighed at the incredible creation and didn't care about anything. The maid riding a horse ran in front, and the monk followed behind without falling behind at all.
When he arrived at the Grand Duke's Mansion, according to the monk's estimate, he should be at the back of the mansion. When he walked to a secluded place, the maid showed his certificate to the two guards guarding the small gate. He walked in with Huigang. Halfway through the way, the maid stopped and pointed to a tall tower that was quite clear under the moonlight and whispered to the monk:
"Mr. Huigang, I can't bring you to the Gengxiang. That building is the residence of the Grand Princess tonight. The Grand Princess told me that you have a way not to alarm the guards there. Please come over quickly, I'll wait for you here."
The maid roughly told the monk the route and then flashed to the side.
Huigang was a little worried about whether this invitation would be a trap. But then he gritted his teeth and said that for Fei'er's safety, he would also break into the tiger's den.
After walking a few steps forward, the monk then jumped to the heights. At this time, the method of feeling the breath he had just learned was used. All the guards near him, the secret whistles seemed to be in the darkness, like lights.
Huigang used the skills of walking at night when he was walking in the world. He seemed to have no weight on his body, jumping and moving quickly and incoherently between trees and buildings. His speed was so fast that he could not detect him.
It took less time for the monk to arrive in front of the tall tower. Unlike the buildings built of wood in the previous life, most of the tall buildings here are made of stone, so they can be particularly tall. There is only a small door under the building, and two soldiers guarding it outside the door.
However, this monk was obviously not difficult. When he used the "Gerkwall Walking Technique", his body firmly sucked the smooth wall and quickly climbed up.
Soon we arrived at the top of the window with lights on. This was also the only window of the tall tower. Through the window, we could see that there was only one person in the room, and the eldest princess was walking back and forth in a restless manner.
The anxious grandmother suddenly heard someone knocking on the window gently. She was startled first, and then happily opened the window. The monk jumped in and looked at the woman in front of him, the grandmother's wife, and Fei'er's mother.
The eldest princess Anti hurriedly walked to the stairs leading downstairs and looked around for a while, then quickly walked to Huigang, knelt down heavily, and begged to the monk with tears:
"Save my daughter, please help me save my daughter."
Although the monk's calmness is good, he still did not expect the woman opposite to say such things. Logically speaking, if someone says such things, it should be Grand Duke Edward. After all, at the welcoming ceremony, the grand duke and his wife's attitude towards Fei'er was much different.
The eldest princess Anti clearly saw that Huigang was a little suspicious of her words, and she didn't care about any etiquette at the moment, and hurriedly told the monk everything.
Although the Principality of Lanqi is not a powerful country, the history of the Bill family that ruled this country is considered to be long among the royal families on the mainland. It is said that it can be traced back to the age of the gods. The guardian of this family is the goddess of nature. It is somewhat similar to the situation where a paladin appeared in the Folit family every few generations. Each generation of the Bill family will have a girl's bloodline with the blessing of the goddess of nature.
This gift of God can give this girl great vitality and is an excellent condition for practicing natural spells and life spells. However, I don’t know when it started. The Grand Duke of Lan Qi of a certain generation did not know the way from where he used his daughter who had been blessed by God to sacrifice her health and a life span of nearly thirty years. This blessing of God became a curse.
Every generation of girls with God's blessings will be used as sacrifices to fulfill their wishes for the king - mostly the wishes of the throne and life, but this news never spread out. Everyone outside only heard that every girl blessed by the goddess of nature cannot bear the huge vitality and will die before the age of sixteen.
After Fei'er was born, she was detected by the court priests that she was the girl who received the God's gift from this generation. At that time, Grand Duke Bill Edward was very loving with Grand Duke Princess Anti and promised Anti that he would not send his daughter to the altar. However, four years later, Grand Duke was addicted to alcohol and sex, and his health was getting worse day by day. Grand Duke Princess Anti felt a little uneasy. Finally one day, Anti arranged for the female elf Gianni to hand the girl over to a priest who had great kindness in the Anti family. The priest's name was Philip, and he used magic to eliminate her memories before she was five years old.
Next, the Grand Princess arranged for the female elf to assassinate the palace sacrifices in charge of the sacrifices. Although she had a falling out with Grand Prince Edward because of these things, she thought her daughter would live a safe life in the Stone Town.
But a year ago, several people who claimed to be the Green Leaf Guild found the Grand Duke and promised to reopen the magic circle. At this time, the Grand Duke's body was almost collapsed, and it was obvious that he could not enjoy more time in this wealthy seat. At this time, it was a necessary wish to extend his life.
Then things collapsed. First, the loyal female elf, Gianni, betrayed, and then when she was unwilling, Fei'er was brought to her. At this time, the almost desperate concubine Anti could only deny the girl in front of her, not her own daughter.
Of course, after Fei'er entered the palace, the eldest princess was placed under house arrest.
The eldest princess was crying at the end, but she was afraid that the sound would alarm the guards outside, so she could only suppress her emotions. The news she received said that tomorrow was the so-called two-month night that happened once in a decade, a sacrifice ceremony would be held at that time. She was confused and helpless. She suddenly received news from the female elf Jiani, telling her that she could ask Huigang for help and help her pass the news to her confidant maid.
The monk was there for a long time and after a while, he let out a long sigh. The eldest princess Anti, who had been unable to get a reply, was extremely nervous.
"Please tell me the place where the ceremony was held, such a tragic thing,"
The eldest princess hurriedly told the monk about Fei'er's residence. Although Huigang's expression was still calm, he could no longer suppress the anger in his chest. He did not say anything to the eldest princess and got up and wanted to leave.
When the eldest princess Anti saw that the monk's expression had not changed, she thought Huigang was not moved by words, and was very anxious. She was about to continue to say something to touch Huigang, but found that deep footprints had been printed on the ground paved with marble under his feet, which showed that Huigang was extremely angry.
The eldest princess Anti has seen people on the market. He knew that it was very simple for a warrior to easily stomp a stone slab, but how powerful it would be to print deep footprints on the stone slab without any sound. According to her memories, the strongest warrior in the Principality of Lanqi could not do this.
Surrounded by glass windows on the tower, two bright moons had risen to the air at this time, and the house reflected in the reflection was like a fairyland on earth, but this fairyland was used to house arrest the grand princess.
The monk turned around and opened the window. When he was about to jump down, he felt that the moonlight in the window behind him suddenly became dark. Huigang's heart was trembling and turned around quickly, but he saw a shiny arrow coming out of the left chest of the eldest princess Anti, and the terrifying blood stains continued to expand from there.
Anti fell to the ground slowly as if he was exhausted from his body. The monk didn't care about the defense of men and women, so he rushed forward and supported the eldest princess, and hurriedly entered his internal force.
But such fatal damage was obviously unsuccessful. The eldest princess panted quickly and tried hard to speak. The monk pressed his hands against her back heart with his hands, and the holy power and true energy of light were constantly inputting. She suddenly grabbed the monk's hand as if she was back, and said hurriedly:
"Save my daughter, save her"
Anti stopped a little, as if he had accumulated the remaining strength
