Chapter 5 Is it a prisoner of war? (3)
Most Azov citizens hid at home, and a few of them were also shy and lowered their heads, trying to avoid the pirates' sight. Under such circumstances, Dust and Anna, who were yelling on the street, looked particularly conspicuous.
"Ahhhh, in this case, the beard is useless at all!"
Anna anxiously threw away the pile of beards.
"Princess, give me the bow I just came from outside the weapon shop."
"I still need horses! Are there no horses around here?"
"I didn't see it! There are pirates around! We are running around like this. If we hit them, it's all!" Dust had an idea behind Anna, "I found a groundwater pipe intersection not long ago when I was looking for water, which is not far away, half a person is as high as a person! Why don't we go there to hide?"
Anna felt that this was a good idea when she heard this. The water source of Azov was provided by pipes laid underground. Azov had been cut off by Azov for more than half a month, and the water pipes would have dried up enough to let them hide. If they were transported, they could find the right direction inside, and even run out of the city directly. As for the plan to assassinate Ragna, it would not be too late to plan slowly when they arrived at a safe place.
"Dust, you're pretty useful in strange places!" Anna said, "I thought you were useless before, but I blamed you wrongly!"
But Dust scratched his head in embarrassment: "No, why not forget it, there is a question about your princess' dignity..."
Anna suddenly realized: Dust said that the underground pipe was only half a person high, and if it was to pass inside, it would only be possible to climb on the ground like a mouse. If you want to escape from Azov, the crawling distance would not be very short. This is indeed a major issue that concerns the princess' dignity.
After a violent inner struggle, Anna nodded as if she was home: "It doesn't matter, compared to being caught by a pirate, what does this humiliation count as much as it is! Let's go!"
Dust nodded excitedly: "Okay, princess, come with me."
Under Dust's leadership, the two turned a few turns and came to a bridge where there was a round hole blocked by several iron fences.
"Although it seems to be blocked, these iron bars have actually loosened."
Dust reached out his hand and easily removed a fence.
"Princess, it's great that you have this kind of awareness. If you want to hide from the pursuers, this is the best place. No one will run to such a smelly place to look for people!"
"What... wait a moment!" Anna hurriedly called Dust, who was kneeling on the ground to remove the fence, "You just said it smells smelly? Isn't it a water pipe? Why is it smelly?"
"Is it a water pipe? The sewer pipe..."
"Get out of here!" Anna kicked Dust away, "I will never get into the drain! This is about the princess' dignity!"
Maybe because he was used to being kicked by Anna, Dust quickly rubbed his face and climbed up, continuing to persuade Anna: "Princess, you have come here... You should also know that this is indeed the safest place..."
"Um...um...um..."
Anna tried her best to suppress her disgust for the sewer pipes.
"Okay...Okay, in order not to be caught by pirates, I will force myself to go in and hide..."
"That's right!" Dust nodded repeatedly, "I think we can sneak out and find a chance to get out of the city as long as we hide until night. If we are hungry, there are still many mice in it that can be caught and eaten..."
"Get out of here!"
Dust was kicked away by Anna again. This time, he rubbed his right face and said pitifully: "Princess, I'm serious! I've learned sixteen recipes for cooking mice..."
"Where did you learn these strange living skills? Enough! I'll think of a solution myself!"
Anna stamped her feet, then stuffed her hands into her mouth and blew hard!
A distant whistle sounded, and soon, the cry of an eagle came from afar. Not long after, the familiar falcon began to hover over their heads.
"What are you doing when you are stunned? Run in the direction of its flying!" Anna waved her hand at Dust, "With it looking down at the streets in the air, we can avoid those pirates!"
"But it didn't fly anywhere, it just circled in place...ah, it started calling again, Princess, what does this mean?"
Anna's face suddenly turned blue: "It's a disaster! This area has been surrounded! We need to find a place to hide..."
"Okay!" Dust lifted his sleeves and took off the sewer fence with all his energy.
"You can only think of hiding in the sewer?"
Anna grabbed Dust's clothes and dragged him away from the bridge pier. There were many houses scattered on both sides of the bridge. Anna found the tallest house, kicked open the door and broke in.
"Don't be afraid! It's me, the White Knight!"
Facing the sight of the family in the house, Anna hurriedly threw Dust to the ground, and Dust's reaction was faster than Anna. As soon as her body hit the ground, a carp jumped up and she gently tucked her hair in front of the family.
"The pirates are afraid of my talents and are chasing me everywhere. Can the kind people provide me with a hiding place?"
In Azo, Dust is well-known as a hero who saved the city many times. As soon as he spoke, the family did not hesitate at all. His wife stepped forward and carefully closed the door, while her husband took Dust and Anna to the top floor.
Through the window, Anna saw that the pirates had surrounded the surrounding streets. And more and more pirates were rushing towards this side. Not long after, even Amy appeared in sight.
"What's going on?" Anna shouted, "It seems they know I'm in this area!"
"I think it's because of that eagle." Dust pointed, "While the eagle is looking down at the street, people on the street can also see the eagle. And the whistle you just now is really special. So, you still have to keep a low profile when you escape..."
"Ahhhh! Since that's the case, I can only do it all the time!"
Anna completely ignored Dust's preaching and took the bow from her back.
"Anyway, they already know that I'm in the area, so they can just shoot a few of their leaders to death, take advantage of their chaos and say that they can't escape!"
In Anna's eyes, the pirates standing on the street without any defense were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. All she had to do was choose a suitable prey from it.
Amy was directly excluded. Although Anna cares about the fire, Amy is now protected by Aphrodite, and she will definitely die if she is shot with an arrow. She wants to find another person with a higher status in this group of pirates. Only by shooting such a person can the pirates be confused.
