Chapter 232 - Jinx (2/2)
“Western city cemetery.” Antis stood up and said coldly, “Mobilize four hundred men from the city guards and surround the cemetery immediately, don’t let a single rat out.”
The few subordinates immediately left with their orders.
Soon the city guards descended upon the cemetery in great numbers and surrounded it, searching it inch by inch.
They soon spotted the low cottage in the woods.
Antis entered the stone cottage and didn’t find anyone, but a faint fragrance was left in the room. He sniffed and muttered to himself, “This is the royal perfume, sourced from the Elven Forest. It seems that the queen should have been here for a decent amount of time, but we were a little late.”
Through the tiny window, Antis looked out. The marble white color of the dawn sky had already appeared.
By this time Roland had already reunited with Husseret, and the F6 members had also arrived.
The postman was now very excitedly circling the queen, which caused her some puzzlement and displeasure.
The postman was actually livestreaming… The chat was already filled with wild shrieks and howls.
“Oh d.a.m.n, is this the queen? She’s too beautiful, a certain actress really can’t even compare.”
“Fox eyes, big fierce weapons, and long legs, as well as her heart-stopping status as a n.o.ble. Wait, let me take a screenshot, she’ll be my spiritual food for the next six months.”
“Roland has even seduced a human queen? I saw it just now, there’s obviously something else about the way the queen looks at Roland.”
“The members of F6 are so awesome. Guild leader Schuck stole the dragoness that someone else desperately pursued but could never get, and now Roland has stolen the queen of the Hollevin royal family. I’ve already brainstormed tens of thousands of words for an R18 drama.”
“Write down the brainstormed scenario and share it with us users, brother.”
Roland and others were not aware of the situation in the livestream at this moment.
They were at the foot of the north wall.
Husseret pointed upward and said, “I’ve paid off a patrol squad, there will be no soldiers patrolling the walls in this area for the next twenty minutes. There are only twenty minutes, so it’s up to you, Roland.”
Everyone looked at Husseret with some surprise.
Even the capital’s patrol squad could be bought off… This “tactic” was too impressive.
Everyone then looked at Roland, and the queen’s eyes shone even brighter.
Roland stepped forward, snapped his fingers, and in the next second, he appeared on top of the forty-meter high wall.
Teleportation… If Roland applied it with all his power, he would be able to teleport directly to any place within sight. Over forty meters high, it really wasn’t difficult for him.
Then he cast a thick rope, which he had already prepared, down from the wall, while the other end was tied to the battlement.
Ordinary people with training could climb a cliff hundreds of meters high by relying on a rope, let alone a professional, and besides, the height of the wall was only forty meters.
Soon, everyone climbed along the rope to the top of the city wall.
Andonara jumped on the city wall, and her murderous weapons[1] trembled up and down. The livestream was spammed with comments again. Then she looked back at the majestic palace in the middle of the city with mixed feelings.
“It seems things are going to go more smoothly than we thought…” Husseret said, smiling, but he suddenly turned his head to the other side of the wall and laughed bitterly. “I jinxed us.”
Not far away, a dozen thin black shadows were slithering toward them, moving against the ground at great speed.
“Illumination!”
Roland snapped his fingers, and an extremely large ball of light appeared above them, as bright as a searchlight, directly covering a radius of over fifty meters around them.
All the shadows left without a trace due to the bright light, and the dozen or so black-robed men were forced to show themselves and abandon their state of quick, stealthy movement.
“It’s the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Shadow Guild.”
Queen Andonara spoke with her voice lowered, then drew her sword and stood in front of Roland.
