The Protagonist Only Thinks About Falling In Love
Chapter 174
After finishing all this, Evelyn was almost ready to leave. He got up, and when he got out of the cage, he paused again, looking at Rossiu who was sitting in the cage.
It was still too dark in the room, which might make Rossiu not aware of the time.
Rossiu held the cheese he gave in his hand and put it between his legs. His body was stained with blood. He looked up at Evelyn, hesitated for a moment, raised his lips slightly, and showed a shallow smile. His beautiful face The gloom between the brows seemed to dissipate a little.
"Everly, I'll be waiting for you."
Although his voice was hoarse, when he said these words, it was still very pleasant. The injuries all over his body seemed to add a sense of messy beauty, like roses blooming tenaciously in a barren land.
"Well, I'll come," said Effley.
He should give his partner a little confidence. Evelyn felt that Los Xiu seemed a little uneasy. He put one knee on the ground in front of him again, squatted down, and stretched out his hand. Los Xiu looked at his hand, paused, and raised his hand. Raised his hand.
He had a silver chain that bound his wrists, and there were cuts at the knuckles of his fingers.
Effley shook his hand avoiding his wound, with his thumb resting on his tiger's mouth, as if holding hands with a comrade in arms.
There was a refreshing smile on Ivory's face.
"After all, we have made an agreement." He stared at him with amber eyes, as if reading an oath, "You have to trust your knight."
There are calluses on the palm of Every, which are the marks left by holding the sword all the year round. He didn't hold his hand hard enough. After holding it for a while, he let go.
Rossiu lowered his hands, and Evelyn stood up. Footsteps sounded, but they didn't walk towards the door.
The curtain at the window over there opened a gap, and Evelyn stood by the window and looked up to confirm that the gap was not conspicuous.
He turned his head and said, "This way you can see the light."
Luo Sixiu's eyelashes trembled twice, and his eyes moved slightly, as if a fine stone had fallen into the water, causing layers of ripples.
In the evening, it was time for the patrolling knights in the castle to change shifts.
"Everly isn't in the room again?"
"I don't know where he went, that guy, he has been favored by Earl Austin for a while, and he runs out every day."
"Then what can we do, who told him to show off in the jousting, Ma Karen, don't let him crawl on your head and pee, hahaha..."
Laughter came from the room, where several knights were sitting together, holding helmets in their hands, the peacock feathers on it trembled with their movements, and the knight called Macaron had a gloomy expression.
In the past, Evelyn was just his little follower, and he didn't know what kind of shit luck he had when he was about to compete, and he actually defeated the knights of the Antonio family.
When Effley returned to his room, he heard voices from inside.
"It's just a moment of glory, you see how long he can be proud." He heard a male voice from inside saying eccentrically, "Now that he doesn't do business all day, the Earl will see his true colors clearly sooner or later!"
"true colors?"
The clear and clear male voice suddenly inserted in, the gloating voice inside stopped suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded at the door, the man's black boots came into their field of vision, his amber eyes were pure, and his handsome face was gentle and gentle. light smile.
"What's my real face?" asked Evrye.
He scanned the faces in the room. After that jousting, he got the earl's favor and aroused the jealousy of many people. This kind of scene couldn't be more normal. Some people wanted to curry favor with him, but naturally others pushed him away. hate him.
"Don't be complacent." The man who spoke eccentrically just now stood up. He has a solid body, a tall man, dark brown hair with slight curls, and deep eye sockets with thick dark circles. With a resentful expression on his face, "Evely, let's wait and see."
His name is Macaron, he is the knight who leads Evrye, and he is a drunkard who has been soaking in taverns all year round.
After finishing speaking, he took the lead and bumped Ivlai's shoulder, trying to get out from beside him, but Ivlai's lower body was as solid as a rock, and he didn't move, and his shoulder was as hard as iron.
Iflay was familiar with this kind of harsh words, he didn't take it to heart, and subconsciously tensed up when Macaron bumped into him.
Ma Karen took two steps back, his face was ugly.
Seeing this, Effley tilted his head and flicked the fabric on his shoulders, and turned sideways politely, "Please."
Sometimes, politeness is also a kind of irony.
Ma Karen looked even angrier than just now, he glared at him with a blown beard, and walked out beside him, aggressively.
Evelyn was puzzled: 【Why did I hit him? 】
System: [Maybe uncle is here. 】
Effley: [? 】Big... Uncle?
Such a fresh vocabulary.
Effley said that his studies were useless.
The rest of the people in the room were a little embarrassed, and they also went out one after another, and none of Every's roommates dared to look at him.
It is obvious that among Macallan's group, Evelyn is isolated. Compared with the Earl who has a sense of distance, pleasing Macallan who is close at hand will give them more benefits.
These are not important to Iflay.
He was more concerned about other things. After entering the door, he closed the door and checked that his things had not been tampered with before he heaved a sigh of relief. Evelyn pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed, which contained several locks. some wire.
He had observed the chain that locked Rossi's hands and feet. Only the earl had the key, but it was very difficult to get close to the earl's body. Iflay tried this way, but soon gave up after finding it didn't work.
Then, he changed his course and chose to learn how to pick locks by himself, so that he could get enough food and clothing by himself.
That lock is not complicated.
He has already opened five locks with the wire, practice more, and next time he can directly try on Luoxiu's lock.
It's not Veriser who will deliver the food tomorrow, the maid who delivered the food is much more vigilant than Veriser, Every can't visit Rossiu tomorrow, but today he specially left food for Rossiu, so he shouldn't be hungry with.
One night passed.
The sky lit up, and the luxuriously decorated room was silent. The person who usually lay on the ground to cultivate his health and rest was sitting on the edge of the iron cage, looking at the ray of light shining through the gaps in the undrawn curtains.
He is like a bird with broken wings in a cage, greedy and yearning for the world outside the window, the look in his silver-gray eyes is very pale, he doesn't know how long he has been here, but he always feels that it has been a long time.
What he can do now, just like what Evelyn said, is to wait patiently, waiting for the arrival of the dance, waiting for the arrival of Evelyn, and there has never been a moment when he feels that time is as difficult as usual.
He desperately wanted to see Evelyn.
When the door was pushed open from the outside, his ears keenly caught the sound of footsteps outside, which were soft and completely different from the crisp and crisp sound of a man's boots stepping on the ground.
Not Effley.
He turned his head to look over, and it was a thin and small maid who came in, who silently put the contents of the food box next to the cage, turned around and left without waiting for him to eat.
Effley looked at the bowl on the ground. He knew that it would be taken back tomorrow. He could only eat one meal a day because he offended someone who could not be offended.
Except for Effley, no one will have too much communication with him.
Evelyn won't be here today.
He spoke to him yesterday.
Los Xiu stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling weakly and uncontrollably.
He closed his eyes, leaned against the iron railing, and took a breath.
From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, this is all Los Xiu is here. Even in such an environment that wears down one's will, his tense nerves will never relax.
Soon, he told himself... wait, wait, wait.
And for the next two days, Rossiu didn't see Evelyn again, and he was going to the dance soon, and he couldn't help wondering if he had regretted it, or if something happened to him.
Evelyn did have a little accident.
Two days ago——
"Veriser." Everett strode behind the maid.
Veriser ignored her, bowed her head and walked forward, and Efray walked up to him, "Veriser, it's me."
Veriser snorted softly and raised her head: "You're blocking my way."
"What's wrong with you?" Evelyn asked.
Veriser: "Nothing."
Effley: "That's good—let me deliver the food for you."
Veriser became angry for some reason, "I don't need your help, get out of the way!"
I haven't seen her for a day, and Veriser's temper seems to have changed a lot. Veriser bypassed him, and Every wanted to catch up with him. Veriser ran even faster, and Efray saw her bouncing and worried. She shook out the porridge water in the food box and stopped in her tracks.
"I won't chase you anymore, you go slowly, don't fall." He said.
Veriser stepped faster, and her figure disappeared up the stairs.
Effley looked up for a while, then turned and walked out.
After he went out, he saw Macallan sneaking around the door. He broke through and took a peek. He didn't feel guilty, and said mockingly: "Veriser won't like you, so just give up."
Effley: "..."
Why is everything so weird today?
For the next two days, Ma Karen kept staring at him, trying to find fault. He didn't want Ma Karen to know that he was looking for Rossiu, so he simply stayed in the room during the day and was on duty at night, while repeatedly experimenting with the escape route to eliminate omissions in the plan. .
He only has this chance.
If he is found and caught, there will definitely be no good consequences waiting for him.
The dance didn't start until evening, and Evelyn went out during the day to get the things he ordered from the black shop before, and after paying the final payment, he was already jingling poor.
As the sky darkened, the night was just beginning.
The nobles arrived at the ball one after another, the carriages stopped row after row, their servants followed around, and the women wore heavy tutu skirts, and they could walk as light as swallows.
"Every."
When Evelyn was about to leave the team quietly, he was suddenly called out by the man over there.
The man was wearing a decent black tuxedo, his long hair was tied back, and a strand of curly hair fell from the corner of his forehead. This was Earl Austin, and he said casually, "Your name is Effley, right?"
"Master Earl, good evening." Evelyn raised his right hand to his left chest and saluted as a knight.
-
Evelyn didn't come.
It was very lively outside tonight, the lights were brightly lit, and Luo Xiu could still see the red light outside through the gap in the curtains. He knew that it was already dark and the moon had risen in the sky.
Los Xiu raised his head, breathing lightly.
The room was very quiet, his eyes were flat, and there was a faint hope hidden in the depths.
It is a cruel thing to tolerate the disappointment in which hope is extinguished, but Rossiu is also prepared to fail.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a rustling sound outside, and he heard someone talking outside the door. Los Xiu's heart jumped up, and he turned his head to look outside the door, the chain on his wrist was shaking.
"click".
The sound of the door opening was so clear in the room in the dark night. The door of the room opened, and the light from outside the door shone in. A tall and tall figure appeared at the door against the light, his face could not be seen clearly, and the cloak fluttered behind him.
He lifted his foot and walked over here, quickening his pace.
"It's me." Evelyn smiled and said to Rossiu inside with a relaxed look while unlocking the lock, "Your knight is here."
The environment was dim, and Rossiu's sense of smell became sharper. He smelled a strong smell of alcohol on his body, as if he had taken a red wine bath. He was not sure if Evelyn was awake, but his heart was not feeling right now. He tapped his chest in a controlled manner.
This is a reaction that occurs when people are extremely nervous and excited.
Evelyn came as promised.
He didn't break the appointment.
The lock of the iron door was unlocked, and Evelyn threw the key aside, and went in immediately without delay, took out a wire from the belt around his waist, broke it with his fingers, and squatted in front of Rose Slim.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Your Highness." He said, "There was a small episode."
"What episode?"
"It's not important. It's over. If you're interested, I can talk to you later."
There was a layer of sweat on Rossiu's forehead, and he was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't make a sound, but Evelyn kept talking in a low voice, which relieved Losiu's sense of urgency.
"Have you been drinking?" He was unconsciously provoked by Every.
Luo Sixiu's voice has not spoken much, and his mouth is hoarse.
Effley: "A lot."
"Are you drunk?"
"I don't think so."
"I smelled heavily of alcohol."
"Is it annoying?"
"No, it's okay." Rossiu said.
He watched Effley's action of poking the lock repeatedly with the wire. He had seen others do it before, he was a locksmith, and he knew some of it, but he still asked, "What are you doing?"
Effley said with ease, "I didn't get the key, I'll try to see if I can pry it open."
"Will you do it?" Seeing that he was so sure, Los Xiu felt relieved.
"Try it."
"What if you can't pry it open?"
"Then we're done."
Rossiu: "...?"
He looked down at Yves with his head down, his ears were close to his hands, very close, and his posture looked very professional.
Hearing a sound, Evelyn hooked his lower lip, "It's just fine."
With the sound of metal clashing, the iron chain fell from Rossiu's wrist.
Los Xiu felt such a relaxed feeling on his wrist that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The first one went well, and it saved a lot of time to unlock the other locks for him. These locks are not complicated. Every has seen a lot of complicated lock diagrams from System 067, and he has already mastered lockpicking. principles and essence.
Perhaps he could also use this craft to find a job.
Los Xiu leaned on the iron railing and wanted to get up.
"I'm sorry." Evelyn directly untied the black cloak on his body, wrapped it around him, and hugged him. Knowing that he had no choice, Los Xiu quietly nestled in his arms.
After not taking two steps, Evelyn stopped.
Luo Sixiu thought something unexpected happened, and his heart sank.
Effley put him down and let him sit on the edge of the bed, "Wait for me later."
Afterwards, Rossiu saw Ephrai walk to the door, carried the two people outside with each hand, threw them directly into the cage, and locked the cage.
"In case they wake up to find support." Evelyn explained, and he bent down and continued to hug Rossiu.
Seeing the way Evelai was carrying someone else just now, Luo Sixiu suddenly felt that this is... not bad.
Rossiu pursed his lips, raised his hand, and clasped it on Evrye's shoulder.
They didn't communicate any more, and they needed to go through several patrols to go out from here. Iflay knew this process very well. Today's dance party is lively and crowded, so he still needs to be careful.
The sound of uniform footsteps resounded in the corridor. Evrai and the other party staggered, went downstairs, intersected again, and then staggered again. This process required patience and vigilance. Los Xiu felt that Evrai was tensing up, and his figure was very good , the shape of the muscles is covered by clothing.
Los Xiu could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat, and his face was pressed against his heart.
Success or failure is today.
He could feel that Ephraim had made a comprehensive plan, and it was not by chance that he could come out so smoothly.
Until they were finally almost out of the castle.
Yvesley's feet had already set foot on the lawn. On the lawn, a fountain statue stood tall. When Yvesley walked around the fountain, he met a person unexpectedly.
"Every?"
Macaron stood in front of him, wearing a cavalier outfit. Seeing a man in his arms with a cloak showing a little silver hair, his eyes widened.
Evelyn stopped abruptly.
There was silence in the air, and the dance party in the distance was still going on. This place is remote, and Iflay deliberately chose a road with few people, but unexpectedly, he still bumped into someone, or an acquaintance.
The reason why he came slowly was because Macallan was going to fight him, and Every won. As the winner, he was given a lot of alcohol, and he ran out by pretending to be drunk as an excuse to release water.
"Okay, you, actually... actually came here... to date your little lover! I must, I must tell the count..."
He was talking drunkenly.
Effley held Rossiu in his arms, and immediately kicked him over.
Macaron fell directly next to the statue and passed out.
Rossiu heard Evelyn snort softly, "Men can't tell, aren't they stupid?"
Rossiu: "..."
Is this the point?
……
The castle was brightly lit, making the night thicker, and the village in the distance was lit with dots of red candles, the wheels of the carriage rolled over the ground, and a carriage came from a distance.
At the gate of the castle, the carriage was stopped.
Effley sat in front of the horse and said: "I am an apprentice knight of the Austin family, and the Earl ordered me to go out and do something."
"Who's in the car?"
Iflay opened a corner of the curtain, the soldier saw Macallan, that notorious knight, and the soldier wanted to take a closer look, but iflay said, "Hurry up, it's a waste of time, can you afford it?"
It was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly, so the soldier looked at it and then walked away with a smile, "Please."
The wheels of the carriage started to roll again, and after driving for a long distance, Evelyn stopped the carriage and entered inside, next to Macallan, Rossiu sat in the corner, wearing Evelyn's black cloak .
Evelyn: "Are you okay?"
"Hmm." Rossiu's voice was a little imperceptibly weak, and his voice was tense, "Have we come out yet?"
Before Evrai could speak, the lying Macallan groaned, and was about to wake up again. Evrai reached out and slashed the back of his neck, and the person who was about to wake up fell asleep again. Effley picked up his collar and threw him out.
Macaron rolled a few laps on the nearby grass.
"Okay, you rest and rest, wait until dawn, we can rectify it again." Evelyn said.
Rossiu: "..."
Effley's movements were smooth and smooth, with a bright and handsome face, he did all the dirty things, and he was ruthless and steady in his tricks.
The carriage left the small town all the way out of the most critical place, and the rest was not so difficult. Evelyn didn't stop all night. He drove the horse through the woods.
There are strange birdsongs echoing in the forest, crows are "quacking" and the shadows of the branches on the ground are in various shapes and shapes. Occasionally, the wind blows and rustles. When the dawn rises from the horizon, the carriage slows down in the forest down.
[Is it cool? ] The system asked him.
Effley: 【Cool! 】
System: [Do you feel like you forgot something? 】
Effley: 【●v●? 】
System: [Look at the protagonist. 】
Evelyn jerked his horse.
Evelyn drank a lot of wine last night. Although he was not so drunk that he lost his mind, he was very excited. In addition, he escaped from the castle with Rossiu. There were some small twists and turns, but the whole was very exciting.
And Rossiu stayed in the carriage without making a sound, so that Ephrai drove the horse so happily that he forgot about Rossiu in the carriage for a while, and it was only when it was dawn that he remembered that Rossiu had not made a sound all night , itself is not quite right.
He stopped the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage behind him, and saw Luo Xiu who was sleeping under the black cloak inside, revealing a small half of his flushed face, with silver hair falling from the side of his face, he was breathing with slightly parted lips, and his lips were in harmony. The ruddy face was pale in contrast to it.
Evelyn was shocked!
Rossiu has a fever. This is the conclusion that Evelyn touched his forehead and felt his fiery breathing. His body was already seriously injured. After holding on for so long, his body has reached its limit.
Effley took out a map from his luggage and unfolded it. He roughly calculated the distance. It would be around noon before he arrived at the next town and took Rossiu to see a doctor.
There was a small stream nearby. He saw that Ross was sweating all over, so he went to the nearby stream to get some water, wiped his sweat off his body, and rushed to the next town immediately without wasting time.
[Is there a path? ] He asked the system.
System: [Yes, but only one horse can pass. 】
[How long will it take? 】
The system gives the exact time, which can shorten the distance by half.
Just one horse per horse.
After leaving the castle last night, Rossiu has been feeling a little uncomfortable, but his body was not very comfortable, and he had to hurry, so he didn't tell Evrye. Later, his whole body became weak and lethargic, and he fell into a drowsy sleep past.
When he woke up again, he was woken up by Ma Dian.
He leaned his back against the warm chest, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Effley's arm in his field of vision. He realized that his whole body was being held in Effley's arms, and he suddenly woke up.
"Someone..." He opened his mouth and couldn't make much sound.
Evelyn held the reins of the horse and hugged his waist to prevent Rossiu from falling. There were still a few bags hanging behind him. There were not many things that Evelyn brought with him when he fled. They were all things that had been prepared a long time ago. , some money and self-defense weapons, plus two pieces of clothing.
He hid in the garden during the day yesterday, and took Evelyn with him when he picked him up in the carriage at night.
The two were very close, and as soon as Los Xiu woke up, Evelyn noticed, "Are you okay?"
The horse slowed down.
Rossiu coughed twice and asked him, "Has anyone caught up?"
"No."
"What about the carriage?"
Effley explained it again and handed him a water bag, "Drink some water and stop talking."
"Sorry." He was apologizing for the consequences of his illness.
Evelyn's voice was deep and magnetic, and since he was sitting right behind him, he seemed to be speaking right into Rossiu's ear, and he said, "You don't need to apologize."
Rossiu pursed his lower lip and reached for the water bag.
Only then did Effley remember that his hand couldn't use his strength, so he retracted his hand again, and Rossiu took it empty.
Evrai pulled the horse, stopped the horse, unscrewed the water bag, and handed it to Losiu's mouth. Losiu paused, turned his head to look at Ivrai's side face, his eyelashes swept across the man's cheek .
"Drink some water." Effley said in a concerned tone.
It's really empty in my heart.
Just last night, he had completely forgotten about his employer.
Luo Sixiu took his hand, drank two sips of water, said "enough", and asked, "Did you drive all night?"
Evelyn: "Yes."
"Perhaps you can take a rest first." Rossiu said.
Effley: "It's not too late, we're almost at the next town."
His tone was too firm, Rossiu didn't try to persuade him any more, in fact he insisted, because even if he made himself more energetic, the pain on his body couldn't make him energetic, and before he reached the next town, he relied on Evelyn fell asleep.
Rossiu woke up again, lying in the hotel room, a strange doctor was treating him, he became vigilant the moment he opened his eyes, Ephrai sat by the bed, and said loudly, "You're awake ", Los Xiu calmed down.
The doctor was not surprised when he saw Luo Sixiu's condition, he was used to seeing him, and did not ask him where these injuries came from. Knowing that Luo Sixiu also needed treatment for his tendons and hamstrings, he offered a price. , Evelyn asked him if it could be cheaper.
"How can life be measured by money." The doctor said, "Just say it can't be cured."
Rose was penniless and had no way to say anything. He pursed his lips tightly, and when he heard Evrye gritted his teeth and said "cure", he didn't know what to feel in his heart, and it was very complicated for a while.
Just now Every bargained with the doctor, and he knew that Every probably didn't have much money.
The doctor said that his body needs to be treated first, the clothes are too dirty and messy, and the wound has not been treated well.
"Help him take off his clothes," said the doctor.
Los Xiu said, "I'll do it myself..."
He propped himself up and wanted to get up, but Ephrae helped him up and put him beside the bed, "I'll do it."
Effley reached for his button.
Luo Sixiu sat leaning against the bed, her silver hair was scattered on her shoulders, smooth as silk, her facial features were feminine and handsome, and her temperament was extraordinary. The clothes on her body were indeed dirty and messy, tattered, and could no longer be worn. The face doesn't match at all, and the clothes that would look sloppy on anyone, but on him, it will only make people feel that the clothes don't match him.
Evelyn unbuttoned his shirt with a serious expression, as if he was doing something sacred.
Los Xiu lowered his eyes, watching the movements of his hands, every part of the arc of his fingers was just right and graceful.
Effley helped him take off his shirt, the wound on his body was shocking.
"Do you want more clothes?" he asked.
Los Xiu turned his head: "Throw it away."
Iflay didn't intend to throw it away, the royal blue gemstone button should be able to exchange for some gold coins, and the material of the buttons on the cuffs also looks good.
Rossiu watched as Evelyn folded the clothes and put them aside, looking as if he was about to collect them. His lips parted slightly, a little surprised, and then he felt ashamed.
It was still too dark in the room, which might make Rossiu not aware of the time.
Rossiu held the cheese he gave in his hand and put it between his legs. His body was stained with blood. He looked up at Evelyn, hesitated for a moment, raised his lips slightly, and showed a shallow smile. His beautiful face The gloom between the brows seemed to dissipate a little.
"Everly, I'll be waiting for you."
Although his voice was hoarse, when he said these words, it was still very pleasant. The injuries all over his body seemed to add a sense of messy beauty, like roses blooming tenaciously in a barren land.
"Well, I'll come," said Effley.
He should give his partner a little confidence. Evelyn felt that Los Xiu seemed a little uneasy. He put one knee on the ground in front of him again, squatted down, and stretched out his hand. Los Xiu looked at his hand, paused, and raised his hand. Raised his hand.
He had a silver chain that bound his wrists, and there were cuts at the knuckles of his fingers.
Effley shook his hand avoiding his wound, with his thumb resting on his tiger's mouth, as if holding hands with a comrade in arms.
There was a refreshing smile on Ivory's face.
"After all, we have made an agreement." He stared at him with amber eyes, as if reading an oath, "You have to trust your knight."
There are calluses on the palm of Every, which are the marks left by holding the sword all the year round. He didn't hold his hand hard enough. After holding it for a while, he let go.
Rossiu lowered his hands, and Evelyn stood up. Footsteps sounded, but they didn't walk towards the door.
The curtain at the window over there opened a gap, and Evelyn stood by the window and looked up to confirm that the gap was not conspicuous.
He turned his head and said, "This way you can see the light."
Luo Sixiu's eyelashes trembled twice, and his eyes moved slightly, as if a fine stone had fallen into the water, causing layers of ripples.
In the evening, it was time for the patrolling knights in the castle to change shifts.
"Everly isn't in the room again?"
"I don't know where he went, that guy, he has been favored by Earl Austin for a while, and he runs out every day."
"Then what can we do, who told him to show off in the jousting, Ma Karen, don't let him crawl on your head and pee, hahaha..."
Laughter came from the room, where several knights were sitting together, holding helmets in their hands, the peacock feathers on it trembled with their movements, and the knight called Macaron had a gloomy expression.
In the past, Evelyn was just his little follower, and he didn't know what kind of shit luck he had when he was about to compete, and he actually defeated the knights of the Antonio family.
When Effley returned to his room, he heard voices from inside.
"It's just a moment of glory, you see how long he can be proud." He heard a male voice from inside saying eccentrically, "Now that he doesn't do business all day, the Earl will see his true colors clearly sooner or later!"
"true colors?"
The clear and clear male voice suddenly inserted in, the gloating voice inside stopped suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded at the door, the man's black boots came into their field of vision, his amber eyes were pure, and his handsome face was gentle and gentle. light smile.
"What's my real face?" asked Evrye.
He scanned the faces in the room. After that jousting, he got the earl's favor and aroused the jealousy of many people. This kind of scene couldn't be more normal. Some people wanted to curry favor with him, but naturally others pushed him away. hate him.
"Don't be complacent." The man who spoke eccentrically just now stood up. He has a solid body, a tall man, dark brown hair with slight curls, and deep eye sockets with thick dark circles. With a resentful expression on his face, "Evely, let's wait and see."
His name is Macaron, he is the knight who leads Evrye, and he is a drunkard who has been soaking in taverns all year round.
After finishing speaking, he took the lead and bumped Ivlai's shoulder, trying to get out from beside him, but Ivlai's lower body was as solid as a rock, and he didn't move, and his shoulder was as hard as iron.
Iflay was familiar with this kind of harsh words, he didn't take it to heart, and subconsciously tensed up when Macaron bumped into him.
Ma Karen took two steps back, his face was ugly.
Seeing this, Effley tilted his head and flicked the fabric on his shoulders, and turned sideways politely, "Please."
Sometimes, politeness is also a kind of irony.
Ma Karen looked even angrier than just now, he glared at him with a blown beard, and walked out beside him, aggressively.
Evelyn was puzzled: 【Why did I hit him? 】
System: [Maybe uncle is here. 】
Effley: [? 】Big... Uncle?
Such a fresh vocabulary.
Effley said that his studies were useless.
The rest of the people in the room were a little embarrassed, and they also went out one after another, and none of Every's roommates dared to look at him.
It is obvious that among Macallan's group, Evelyn is isolated. Compared with the Earl who has a sense of distance, pleasing Macallan who is close at hand will give them more benefits.
These are not important to Iflay.
He was more concerned about other things. After entering the door, he closed the door and checked that his things had not been tampered with before he heaved a sigh of relief. Evelyn pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed, which contained several locks. some wire.
He had observed the chain that locked Rossi's hands and feet. Only the earl had the key, but it was very difficult to get close to the earl's body. Iflay tried this way, but soon gave up after finding it didn't work.
Then, he changed his course and chose to learn how to pick locks by himself, so that he could get enough food and clothing by himself.
That lock is not complicated.
He has already opened five locks with the wire, practice more, and next time he can directly try on Luoxiu's lock.
It's not Veriser who will deliver the food tomorrow, the maid who delivered the food is much more vigilant than Veriser, Every can't visit Rossiu tomorrow, but today he specially left food for Rossiu, so he shouldn't be hungry with.
One night passed.
The sky lit up, and the luxuriously decorated room was silent. The person who usually lay on the ground to cultivate his health and rest was sitting on the edge of the iron cage, looking at the ray of light shining through the gaps in the undrawn curtains.
He is like a bird with broken wings in a cage, greedy and yearning for the world outside the window, the look in his silver-gray eyes is very pale, he doesn't know how long he has been here, but he always feels that it has been a long time.
What he can do now, just like what Evelyn said, is to wait patiently, waiting for the arrival of the dance, waiting for the arrival of Evelyn, and there has never been a moment when he feels that time is as difficult as usual.
He desperately wanted to see Evelyn.
When the door was pushed open from the outside, his ears keenly caught the sound of footsteps outside, which were soft and completely different from the crisp and crisp sound of a man's boots stepping on the ground.
Not Effley.
He turned his head to look over, and it was a thin and small maid who came in, who silently put the contents of the food box next to the cage, turned around and left without waiting for him to eat.
Effley looked at the bowl on the ground. He knew that it would be taken back tomorrow. He could only eat one meal a day because he offended someone who could not be offended.
Except for Effley, no one will have too much communication with him.
Evelyn won't be here today.
He spoke to him yesterday.
Los Xiu stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling weakly and uncontrollably.
He closed his eyes, leaned against the iron railing, and took a breath.
From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, this is all Los Xiu is here. Even in such an environment that wears down one's will, his tense nerves will never relax.
Soon, he told himself... wait, wait, wait.
And for the next two days, Rossiu didn't see Evelyn again, and he was going to the dance soon, and he couldn't help wondering if he had regretted it, or if something happened to him.
Evelyn did have a little accident.
Two days ago——
"Veriser." Everett strode behind the maid.
Veriser ignored her, bowed her head and walked forward, and Efray walked up to him, "Veriser, it's me."
Veriser snorted softly and raised her head: "You're blocking my way."
"What's wrong with you?" Evelyn asked.
Veriser: "Nothing."
Effley: "That's good—let me deliver the food for you."
Veriser became angry for some reason, "I don't need your help, get out of the way!"
I haven't seen her for a day, and Veriser's temper seems to have changed a lot. Veriser bypassed him, and Every wanted to catch up with him. Veriser ran even faster, and Efray saw her bouncing and worried. She shook out the porridge water in the food box and stopped in her tracks.
"I won't chase you anymore, you go slowly, don't fall." He said.
Veriser stepped faster, and her figure disappeared up the stairs.
Effley looked up for a while, then turned and walked out.
After he went out, he saw Macallan sneaking around the door. He broke through and took a peek. He didn't feel guilty, and said mockingly: "Veriser won't like you, so just give up."
Effley: "..."
Why is everything so weird today?
For the next two days, Ma Karen kept staring at him, trying to find fault. He didn't want Ma Karen to know that he was looking for Rossiu, so he simply stayed in the room during the day and was on duty at night, while repeatedly experimenting with the escape route to eliminate omissions in the plan. .
He only has this chance.
If he is found and caught, there will definitely be no good consequences waiting for him.
The dance didn't start until evening, and Evelyn went out during the day to get the things he ordered from the black shop before, and after paying the final payment, he was already jingling poor.
As the sky darkened, the night was just beginning.
The nobles arrived at the ball one after another, the carriages stopped row after row, their servants followed around, and the women wore heavy tutu skirts, and they could walk as light as swallows.
"Every."
When Evelyn was about to leave the team quietly, he was suddenly called out by the man over there.
The man was wearing a decent black tuxedo, his long hair was tied back, and a strand of curly hair fell from the corner of his forehead. This was Earl Austin, and he said casually, "Your name is Effley, right?"
"Master Earl, good evening." Evelyn raised his right hand to his left chest and saluted as a knight.
-
Evelyn didn't come.
It was very lively outside tonight, the lights were brightly lit, and Luo Xiu could still see the red light outside through the gap in the curtains. He knew that it was already dark and the moon had risen in the sky.
Los Xiu raised his head, breathing lightly.
The room was very quiet, his eyes were flat, and there was a faint hope hidden in the depths.
It is a cruel thing to tolerate the disappointment in which hope is extinguished, but Rossiu is also prepared to fail.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a rustling sound outside, and he heard someone talking outside the door. Los Xiu's heart jumped up, and he turned his head to look outside the door, the chain on his wrist was shaking.
"click".
The sound of the door opening was so clear in the room in the dark night. The door of the room opened, and the light from outside the door shone in. A tall and tall figure appeared at the door against the light, his face could not be seen clearly, and the cloak fluttered behind him.
He lifted his foot and walked over here, quickening his pace.
"It's me." Evelyn smiled and said to Rossiu inside with a relaxed look while unlocking the lock, "Your knight is here."
The environment was dim, and Rossiu's sense of smell became sharper. He smelled a strong smell of alcohol on his body, as if he had taken a red wine bath. He was not sure if Evelyn was awake, but his heart was not feeling right now. He tapped his chest in a controlled manner.
This is a reaction that occurs when people are extremely nervous and excited.
Evelyn came as promised.
He didn't break the appointment.
The lock of the iron door was unlocked, and Evelyn threw the key aside, and went in immediately without delay, took out a wire from the belt around his waist, broke it with his fingers, and squatted in front of Rose Slim.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Your Highness." He said, "There was a small episode."
"What episode?"
"It's not important. It's over. If you're interested, I can talk to you later."
There was a layer of sweat on Rossiu's forehead, and he was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't make a sound, but Evelyn kept talking in a low voice, which relieved Losiu's sense of urgency.
"Have you been drinking?" He was unconsciously provoked by Every.
Luo Sixiu's voice has not spoken much, and his mouth is hoarse.
Effley: "A lot."
"Are you drunk?"
"I don't think so."
"I smelled heavily of alcohol."
"Is it annoying?"
"No, it's okay." Rossiu said.
He watched Effley's action of poking the lock repeatedly with the wire. He had seen others do it before, he was a locksmith, and he knew some of it, but he still asked, "What are you doing?"
Effley said with ease, "I didn't get the key, I'll try to see if I can pry it open."
"Will you do it?" Seeing that he was so sure, Los Xiu felt relieved.
"Try it."
"What if you can't pry it open?"
"Then we're done."
Rossiu: "...?"
He looked down at Yves with his head down, his ears were close to his hands, very close, and his posture looked very professional.
Hearing a sound, Evelyn hooked his lower lip, "It's just fine."
With the sound of metal clashing, the iron chain fell from Rossiu's wrist.
Los Xiu felt such a relaxed feeling on his wrist that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The first one went well, and it saved a lot of time to unlock the other locks for him. These locks are not complicated. Every has seen a lot of complicated lock diagrams from System 067, and he has already mastered lockpicking. principles and essence.
Perhaps he could also use this craft to find a job.
Los Xiu leaned on the iron railing and wanted to get up.
"I'm sorry." Evelyn directly untied the black cloak on his body, wrapped it around him, and hugged him. Knowing that he had no choice, Los Xiu quietly nestled in his arms.
After not taking two steps, Evelyn stopped.
Luo Sixiu thought something unexpected happened, and his heart sank.
Effley put him down and let him sit on the edge of the bed, "Wait for me later."
Afterwards, Rossiu saw Ephrai walk to the door, carried the two people outside with each hand, threw them directly into the cage, and locked the cage.
"In case they wake up to find support." Evelyn explained, and he bent down and continued to hug Rossiu.
Seeing the way Evelai was carrying someone else just now, Luo Sixiu suddenly felt that this is... not bad.
Rossiu pursed his lips, raised his hand, and clasped it on Evrye's shoulder.
They didn't communicate any more, and they needed to go through several patrols to go out from here. Iflay knew this process very well. Today's dance party is lively and crowded, so he still needs to be careful.
The sound of uniform footsteps resounded in the corridor. Evrai and the other party staggered, went downstairs, intersected again, and then staggered again. This process required patience and vigilance. Los Xiu felt that Evrai was tensing up, and his figure was very good , the shape of the muscles is covered by clothing.
Los Xiu could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat, and his face was pressed against his heart.
Success or failure is today.
He could feel that Ephraim had made a comprehensive plan, and it was not by chance that he could come out so smoothly.
Until they were finally almost out of the castle.
Yvesley's feet had already set foot on the lawn. On the lawn, a fountain statue stood tall. When Yvesley walked around the fountain, he met a person unexpectedly.
"Every?"
Macaron stood in front of him, wearing a cavalier outfit. Seeing a man in his arms with a cloak showing a little silver hair, his eyes widened.
Evelyn stopped abruptly.
There was silence in the air, and the dance party in the distance was still going on. This place is remote, and Iflay deliberately chose a road with few people, but unexpectedly, he still bumped into someone, or an acquaintance.
The reason why he came slowly was because Macallan was going to fight him, and Every won. As the winner, he was given a lot of alcohol, and he ran out by pretending to be drunk as an excuse to release water.
"Okay, you, actually... actually came here... to date your little lover! I must, I must tell the count..."
He was talking drunkenly.
Effley held Rossiu in his arms, and immediately kicked him over.
Macaron fell directly next to the statue and passed out.
Rossiu heard Evelyn snort softly, "Men can't tell, aren't they stupid?"
Rossiu: "..."
Is this the point?
……
The castle was brightly lit, making the night thicker, and the village in the distance was lit with dots of red candles, the wheels of the carriage rolled over the ground, and a carriage came from a distance.
At the gate of the castle, the carriage was stopped.
Effley sat in front of the horse and said: "I am an apprentice knight of the Austin family, and the Earl ordered me to go out and do something."
"Who's in the car?"
Iflay opened a corner of the curtain, the soldier saw Macallan, that notorious knight, and the soldier wanted to take a closer look, but iflay said, "Hurry up, it's a waste of time, can you afford it?"
It was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly, so the soldier looked at it and then walked away with a smile, "Please."
The wheels of the carriage started to roll again, and after driving for a long distance, Evelyn stopped the carriage and entered inside, next to Macallan, Rossiu sat in the corner, wearing Evelyn's black cloak .
Evelyn: "Are you okay?"
"Hmm." Rossiu's voice was a little imperceptibly weak, and his voice was tense, "Have we come out yet?"
Before Evrai could speak, the lying Macallan groaned, and was about to wake up again. Evrai reached out and slashed the back of his neck, and the person who was about to wake up fell asleep again. Effley picked up his collar and threw him out.
Macaron rolled a few laps on the nearby grass.
"Okay, you rest and rest, wait until dawn, we can rectify it again." Evelyn said.
Rossiu: "..."
Effley's movements were smooth and smooth, with a bright and handsome face, he did all the dirty things, and he was ruthless and steady in his tricks.
The carriage left the small town all the way out of the most critical place, and the rest was not so difficult. Evelyn didn't stop all night. He drove the horse through the woods.
There are strange birdsongs echoing in the forest, crows are "quacking" and the shadows of the branches on the ground are in various shapes and shapes. Occasionally, the wind blows and rustles. When the dawn rises from the horizon, the carriage slows down in the forest down.
[Is it cool? ] The system asked him.
Effley: 【Cool! 】
System: [Do you feel like you forgot something? 】
Effley: 【●v●? 】
System: [Look at the protagonist. 】
Evelyn jerked his horse.
Evelyn drank a lot of wine last night. Although he was not so drunk that he lost his mind, he was very excited. In addition, he escaped from the castle with Rossiu. There were some small twists and turns, but the whole was very exciting.
And Rossiu stayed in the carriage without making a sound, so that Ephrai drove the horse so happily that he forgot about Rossiu in the carriage for a while, and it was only when it was dawn that he remembered that Rossiu had not made a sound all night , itself is not quite right.
He stopped the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage behind him, and saw Luo Xiu who was sleeping under the black cloak inside, revealing a small half of his flushed face, with silver hair falling from the side of his face, he was breathing with slightly parted lips, and his lips were in harmony. The ruddy face was pale in contrast to it.
Evelyn was shocked!
Rossiu has a fever. This is the conclusion that Evelyn touched his forehead and felt his fiery breathing. His body was already seriously injured. After holding on for so long, his body has reached its limit.
Effley took out a map from his luggage and unfolded it. He roughly calculated the distance. It would be around noon before he arrived at the next town and took Rossiu to see a doctor.
There was a small stream nearby. He saw that Ross was sweating all over, so he went to the nearby stream to get some water, wiped his sweat off his body, and rushed to the next town immediately without wasting time.
[Is there a path? ] He asked the system.
System: [Yes, but only one horse can pass. 】
[How long will it take? 】
The system gives the exact time, which can shorten the distance by half.
Just one horse per horse.
After leaving the castle last night, Rossiu has been feeling a little uncomfortable, but his body was not very comfortable, and he had to hurry, so he didn't tell Evrye. Later, his whole body became weak and lethargic, and he fell into a drowsy sleep past.
When he woke up again, he was woken up by Ma Dian.
He leaned his back against the warm chest, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Effley's arm in his field of vision. He realized that his whole body was being held in Effley's arms, and he suddenly woke up.
"Someone..." He opened his mouth and couldn't make much sound.
Evelyn held the reins of the horse and hugged his waist to prevent Rossiu from falling. There were still a few bags hanging behind him. There were not many things that Evelyn brought with him when he fled. They were all things that had been prepared a long time ago. , some money and self-defense weapons, plus two pieces of clothing.
He hid in the garden during the day yesterday, and took Evelyn with him when he picked him up in the carriage at night.
The two were very close, and as soon as Los Xiu woke up, Evelyn noticed, "Are you okay?"
The horse slowed down.
Rossiu coughed twice and asked him, "Has anyone caught up?"
"No."
"What about the carriage?"
Effley explained it again and handed him a water bag, "Drink some water and stop talking."
"Sorry." He was apologizing for the consequences of his illness.
Evelyn's voice was deep and magnetic, and since he was sitting right behind him, he seemed to be speaking right into Rossiu's ear, and he said, "You don't need to apologize."
Rossiu pursed his lower lip and reached for the water bag.
Only then did Effley remember that his hand couldn't use his strength, so he retracted his hand again, and Rossiu took it empty.
Evrai pulled the horse, stopped the horse, unscrewed the water bag, and handed it to Losiu's mouth. Losiu paused, turned his head to look at Ivrai's side face, his eyelashes swept across the man's cheek .
"Drink some water." Effley said in a concerned tone.
It's really empty in my heart.
Just last night, he had completely forgotten about his employer.
Luo Sixiu took his hand, drank two sips of water, said "enough", and asked, "Did you drive all night?"
Evelyn: "Yes."
"Perhaps you can take a rest first." Rossiu said.
Effley: "It's not too late, we're almost at the next town."
His tone was too firm, Rossiu didn't try to persuade him any more, in fact he insisted, because even if he made himself more energetic, the pain on his body couldn't make him energetic, and before he reached the next town, he relied on Evelyn fell asleep.
Rossiu woke up again, lying in the hotel room, a strange doctor was treating him, he became vigilant the moment he opened his eyes, Ephrai sat by the bed, and said loudly, "You're awake ", Los Xiu calmed down.
The doctor was not surprised when he saw Luo Sixiu's condition, he was used to seeing him, and did not ask him where these injuries came from. Knowing that Luo Sixiu also needed treatment for his tendons and hamstrings, he offered a price. , Evelyn asked him if it could be cheaper.
"How can life be measured by money." The doctor said, "Just say it can't be cured."
Rose was penniless and had no way to say anything. He pursed his lips tightly, and when he heard Evrye gritted his teeth and said "cure", he didn't know what to feel in his heart, and it was very complicated for a while.
Just now Every bargained with the doctor, and he knew that Every probably didn't have much money.
The doctor said that his body needs to be treated first, the clothes are too dirty and messy, and the wound has not been treated well.
"Help him take off his clothes," said the doctor.
Los Xiu said, "I'll do it myself..."
He propped himself up and wanted to get up, but Ephrae helped him up and put him beside the bed, "I'll do it."
Effley reached for his button.
Luo Sixiu sat leaning against the bed, her silver hair was scattered on her shoulders, smooth as silk, her facial features were feminine and handsome, and her temperament was extraordinary. The clothes on her body were indeed dirty and messy, tattered, and could no longer be worn. The face doesn't match at all, and the clothes that would look sloppy on anyone, but on him, it will only make people feel that the clothes don't match him.
Evelyn unbuttoned his shirt with a serious expression, as if he was doing something sacred.
Los Xiu lowered his eyes, watching the movements of his hands, every part of the arc of his fingers was just right and graceful.
Effley helped him take off his shirt, the wound on his body was shocking.
"Do you want more clothes?" he asked.
Los Xiu turned his head: "Throw it away."
Iflay didn't intend to throw it away, the royal blue gemstone button should be able to exchange for some gold coins, and the material of the buttons on the cuffs also looks good.
Rossiu watched as Evelyn folded the clothes and put them aside, looking as if he was about to collect them. His lips parted slightly, a little surprised, and then he felt ashamed.
