The Amber Sword

“Looks like one of our unexpected guests! Let's see, this is like the little giraffe that broke into the hunter's trap in a mountaineer fable, Miss Magdalene, which is very welcome.” Marquis Yuxi laughed.

The nun stared at him with disgust, but more eyes still fell on the hand of Lord Meros, whose face revealed her unease; the Marquis turned back: “Lord Priest, what are you going to do with this beautiful lady? ”

“You better not hit on her. This woman has a complicated identity and is a problem you can't provoke.” Lord Merloth answered with his face on the board.

“Ha, you've got to be kidding me, Lord Priest.” Marquis Yuxi smiled, “Woman - I have many, I have always been less interested in provoking stinging roses than those who are sweet and soft as water. ”

The High Priest took a look at him.

He looked up and said coldly to Magdalene, "I'll send you to Wood, and he'll understand the consequences of this. Until this is over, he will supervise you on my behalf, Your Highness. ”

He accentuated his tone: “It's also for your life's safety, not the next time, Princess Magdalene. ”

“I do not need your mercy, despicable people," Magdalene said with a pale face, biting her teeth and refusing: "If the hands of the temple are used to intervene in political disputes in other countries, the laurel of the venerable King of Fire, Gilt Cloud, will fall into dust and stain flaws because of you, Ambethel afterwards, you are all sinners. ”

There was almost a fire in her eyes.

Merloth had no expression and the words of the nun princess were almost the supreme judgment of a devout believer, but he didn't sound itchy. “Jihad was imminent, and Eruyin's internal stalemate had not purified itself with thunder, thousands of Lebanese would have fallen into flames, but sooner or later. ”

“Very often, very much so; Your Highness, your views are nothing but women's folly.” He dismisses Magdalene one by one, turns his head and raises the ring on his hand. "Besides, isn't that all you care about? You and I are as naked in front of Martha as I am in front of the trial, and I'm not ashamed of you--”

In Merloth's hands is a common noble seal, all cast from refined silver, covered by a layer of light under candlelight, engraved with olive branches on the ring and surrounded by a flame-like ruby in the centre.

The crest on the ring, with olive branches, flame and breeze patterns and a crescent moon, is the family crest of the Sifah family.

The nun shuddered for a moment and her face grew a little whiter.

Merloth gave Marquis Yuki a look, "Send her to Wood, and if he asks, you can answer honestly. ”

“That's the second thing, but I really don't want to meet with Lord Wood, and I can tell he doesn't like me.” Marquis Youxi replied mockingly.

Merloth was silent, but his heart was cynical. Magdalene lowered her head and felt a little colder, hearing them say that Lord Wood knew all about it, but had no say.

“Merloth, the Lord of the Priesthood, they represent the Temple of Fire, the Cruz, but they will never be Eruin, their best friend, or...”

She lowered her head and did not realize that Marquis Yuxi had come to her side, who smiled and was ready to help her up. Magdalene felt a heartfelt disgust, and she shook her hand, angrily: “I'll do it myself. ”

But I didn't expect to pull between them, ‘Tinker Bell’ sounded, and a dark thing fell from Marquis Yuki's hand to the ground.

It's a ring-shaped snake-like ring that represents the ring of a tail snake where everything comes together.

The room was slightly quiet.

The three people in the room changed their faces at the same time, Magdalene raised her head, almost unbelievably looking at Merloth and Marquis Yuki, her head like a pot of porridge boiled, cluttered thoughts poured up one after the other, but eventually precipitated into one word:

Run!

The nun thought like lightning, but her brain was clear and she got up and ran.

“Grab her!” The high priest's cold voice came from behind as if she had no feelings, pierced the princess's vest as if it were a cold sword, allowed her to strike a spiritual spirit, and even the last glimmer of luck completely disappeared.

They're really in this together! How did this happen?

Magdalene felt her heart tighten, and she knew that she could not survive it if she took one step slowly. Besides, it's too much of a secret relationship for her to tell anyone else.

Lord Wood?

Magdalene suddenly found herself somewhat frightened, and she was afraid for a moment to determine if the big man who was also her teacher and friend was involved, and immediately another figure appeared in her mind - an overly young lord.

But can we make it?

The nun jumped straight into her heart and couldn't help looking back. But in this view, the time is fixed right in front of her. She first saw Marquis Youxi close by, looked at her slightly lamented eyes, and then saw the glittering sword in her hand.

“Don't …”

Magdalene felt that her tears could not stop flowing. For the first time, she found herself not so eager to die, and she wanted to live, even to return to her homeland and live a peaceful life.

The sword passed through her back.

The Princess of Antoboro felt like she had been struck by a lightning bolt, and then the sting spread, “Sorry, Griffin...”

The darkness gradually spread in front of her.

……

In the inner courtyard of the Grand Temple of Anderfleur, the rainwater draped from the ceiling as if it were a silver drill, washing the trees in the courtyard; however, in a bush, there was a loud conversation between two people.

“Hey, Jill. I said, would it be too risky for us to do that? It's a temple. Think about it. Those big people can crush us like a bug with their fingers. ”

Unknown under the shrub, a piece of ground suddenly swayed, and the whole child fell down. Looks like there's a hole in the mud, and the water and dirt on the ground pour in ——

“Get out of the way! ”

“Keep your voice down, ah--”

“Oops... Oops, I told you you shouldn't go out when it rains, especially tonight, my new clothes are all wet, look, it's all mud, it's all over. ”

“Boo, you stole that dress.” One voice warned in good faith.

“That's not the point, and what's the difference between buying and stealing? And at the end of the day, people aren't paying for stolen goods, okay, let's change the subject —— I mean, the tunnel you find is totally unreliable, at least the people who designed it haven't thought about getting in. In my opinion, either his brain is as watered down as my clothes, or it's simply a masterpiece of a stupid thief. ”

The voice stopped, “Just like us. ”

“We're not thieves. We're thieves. ”

“Come on, Jill, we're thieves.” The first voice lazily said.

“When we're done with this, we're thieves. Wait, someone's coming. Shut up!” A small head emerged from the hole under the shrub, and it had to be said that it was raining heavily outside, and the hair on this head was all wet in a few moments.

But this young man, called Jill, doesn't seem to have noticed, and if you look closely, you'll see that he's got these amazing green eyes, and yes, it's a great fairy. The biggest of the elite creatures, if you don't pay special attention to their eyes, you'll think they're half-body, but not as hairy as hands and feet.

In any of Warnd's stories, fairies are a beautiful creature, and their distant relatives, the fairies, are more beautiful incarnations. It has to be said that the same is true of the great fairies, who are all fairly sophisticated and beautiful races, but unfortunately have no good reputation.

If the half-human wandering on the mainland and living indefinitely is good and evil, the Great Fairy family is the home of thieves. Nine out of ten legends about them are related to divine theft.

Of course, God's stealing is fascinating, but real life thieves don't have that much fame.

Jill and Boo are the glorious members of the Brotherhood of Thieves whose Ambethel is spread underground and in the shadows. Of course, glory is still the word, but boldness is absolutely certain. Jill got a map on an occasional occasion, in fact, a blueprint, a secret blueprint of the Temple's underground tunnels ——

This is not an ordinary thing.

If you are a normal person, you will hide it, or simply burn it, or hurry off and sell it for a good price to avoid getting into trouble. But Jill immediately came up with the idea of what could be called a ‘model thief':

He decided to sneak into the temple and make a big mistake!

This is insane.

Of course, it seems natural to the Great Fairy. In the moral ethics of the Great Fairy, all that is between the heavens and the earth is nothing but God, and those who have 'virtue' shall have it. It is hard to say whether this‘ morality 'is actually‘ morality ’.

Jill carefully probed his head, through the only slight light of the rainy night - the Great Fairy had a hundred times better vision than humans, in fact, he could see clearly even in the dark, but the ladylike rain seriously interfered with his observation, until the opposite footsteps were close, he shook his ears and heard the other side coming towards him.

“Shh!” he hurried back and made a silent gesture to his companion. Fab's big mouth was famous in the Brotherhood of Thieves, once... no, several times it was all because of his mouth that led to the mistake.

Jill seemed to think that if it wasn't for their mouth-watering companion, they'd be spending at least half their time in Ambethel's cell.

Fortunately, this time the cloth seemed nice, maybe it was the reason he was finishing the mud on the 'new clothes'.

Jill quickly opened his eyes and saw three people coming out of the darkness. One of them seemed to be carrying something else on his back, and the three of them came to the other side of the courtyard and stopped, then opened a lid from the ground. It's an exit on the other side of the covert lane, and Jill has a good memory, or rather, it's the basic work of the Nightingale.

In the rain, the man carrying the bag quickly dropped his things. Just another person said, "It's too important. Leave it here. I'll find a way to get it out when Wood leaves. ”

“Wouldn't Lord Wood suspect?” A whispering voice asked that the voice was very small, and if Jill hadn't had a pair of pointy, long ears, he wouldn't have heard the phrase clearly.

“Rest assured, Magdalene has often snuck out of the temple these past few days, and by tomorrow, others will naturally assume that she has disappeared in chaos. ”

The three men exchanged a few words briefly in the rain, but Jill's heart was already on fire, “Martha, their buried ‘baby’ actually had something to do with the High Priest!” - As a qualified Ambethel, especially for thieves who are known to the upper nobility and who remember day and night, we certainly know what the name 'Wood' stands for.

He didn't even hear what the next few words were. When the three of them left, he climbed down and dragged his companion, exclaiming excitedly: "Do you hear me, Bo? We're rich this time! ”

“Yes,” replied the cloth in disgust, "I hope the trouble is not as great. ”

“Risk and benefit go hand in hand, my partner. ”
