Chapter 9 Trap (7)
The weather seemed to get a little cold, and a faint mist appeared in the barracks for no reason. There was nothing to do, and the knights and entourages sat on the ground and closed their eyes to rest, while Amy came to the pile of rocks and looked boredly. But they waited for a long time, but there was still no follow-up search team coming here.
Amy suddenly screamed "ah". The knight and his entourage quickly opened their eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My clothes were accidentally hooked on the stone." Amy raised the sleeve of her left hand with some displeasure. The clothes that looked very inexpensive were now torn a large piece, and a floating cloth hung on the pile of rocks that were the perpetrators.
"This piece of clothing is worth a pound of clothes I bought before. I originally wanted to put it in the closet to watch. Your Majesty must let me wear it out. Now it's done, it's broken, and I have to go back and repair it."
"Put?" The knight and his entourage were stunned. They had never seen anyone wearing such expensive clothes go back to make up their clothes. The knight also felt something was wrong. But the entourage did not dare to ask, and the knight felt it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so no one mentioned it.
"After that, these piles of stones look like they are placed in a mess, but when you look closely, it's quite particular."
"Be particular?" The knight tilted his head and stared at the pile of rocks in front of Amy for a long time, but he couldn't tell anything.
So Amy waved his hand and asked him to walk to where he was standing, pointing in one direction and saying, "Look at that direction."
The knight tilted his head again and looked carefully for a long time. The stone was still a stone, and the pile of stones was still a pile of stones. Nothing was found other than that.
"Come here again." Amy pulled the knight to the opposite side, and asked him to turn around and look in the opposite direction, "Do you see anything now?"
The knight narrowed his eyes, and this time, he reacted not long after: "It's almost the same as what he saw from the perspective just now?"
"Yes, the same! The things you see in the other two directions are the same! It's amazing, right?"
"How could this happen?" the knight blinked his eyes foolishly and asked, "Which direction is east now and which direction is west?"
"Well? We came from the east, that's the direction, right?" Amy pointed to her side without thinking, but soon, a hesitant expression appeared on her face, "It seems like this is this? No, this side?"
The knight had no choice but to ask the four entourages: "Do you remember where we came in?"
The four entourages all reached out and pointed without thinking, but they pointed to four different directions.
An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of everyone present. Amy said half-jokingly: "We won't be lost in the military camp, are we?"
"Can't stay here anymore." The knight said, "Everything is good, let's go out of this strange place first!"
Amy nodded. So they packed up their luggage, chose a random direction and hurried over.
There was a strange scream of birds in the sky and a thin layer of fog floating on the ground. This made Amy feel even more anxious. But she still comforted everyone: "It doesn't matter, we are not children, can we get lost in a military camp? I think the rest of the people have already searched and are waiting for us outside the military camp.
"You're right." The knight nodded calmly, "We just saw this military camp in the highlands. It's well-connected and not a maze. Just walk out in one direction."
"Even a maze is not a big deal. The legendary Crete maze is much bigger than this!" Amy responded, "The maze is as big as a city, and there are monsters with bullheads inside to eat people! In the end, it was cracked by a prince using a yarn ball as a mark!"
"What is that?" the entourage asked curiously. They had never heard of this story.
"Hey, don't know. That's a legend in the Seven Hills Empire, about the hero Theseus. A long time ago, the king of Crete built a maze and raised a monster inside, forcing all over the world to send twelve people into the maze every year, specifically for the monsters to eat..."
As soon as the legend was mentioned, Amy's interest came up. She told the knights and the knights' entourage about how Theseus cracked the maze. When talking about Theseus's fight against Minotaus, she played Theseus and Minotaus, and she danced and demonstrated it. When she was at the climax, she even threw a small fireball on a rock.
"That's it, Minotaus was defeated by the hero King Theseus! It's awesome, awesome!"
A sudden enlightenment appeared in front of Amy. The camp was surrounded by rocks, and one of the rocks was floating on the rocks that had just been torn off Amy's sleeves.
"I'm really lost?" Amy panicked, "I'm going to tear my clothes into silk threads now to mark them. You can cover your eyes with a cloth and don't peek..."
The knight reached out to stop Amy. He took out a purse from his waist with a serious expression, handed over the full gold coins to a entourage, and ordered: "Please use these as marks, and throw one every time you pass the intersection."
If it is normal, someone will definitely ask back, "Is it really necessary?" But everyone has realized the seriousness of the situation and no one has complained about this luxurious plan. Although they have not seen the enemy's traces, they still hold the sword in their hands and carefully investigate the surrounding situation every step.
They became more and more frightened as they walked. They didn't notice it when they first entered the formation. At this time, they were panicked, and the rocks looked more and more like humans. The towering spires were like spears erected in the military formation, and the pile of stones seemed to have eyes everywhere, staring at their every move at all times.
The strong wind suddenly rose, and sand flew away from the stones. The sound of birds was sharp, like sorrow and weeping. The sound of waves came faintly from afar. When they realized that this was not the seaside, the sound turned like the sound of swords and drums.
The dusk gradually subsided. Amy and others rely on the marks of gold coins to grop forward carefully. Finally, they became cheerful again. They rushed over and greeted them with the same camp and the same rocks. Amy's sleeves floated on the rocks, just like a woman, waving her handkerchief and crying in the wind.
"It's back again? Where are the gold coins we made?"
"It's gone!" The entourage who threw the gold coins shouted in horror, "Who picked it up!"
"Oh no, someone is lying in ambush!" The knight turned his head in panic and looked at Amy, "What should we do now?"
Amy saw the dead mouse again. The chaotic little stones around it now made Amy feel frightened. She shivered and stretched out her hand and looked through the mouse carefully. The mouse had no wounds on it, nor did it look like it was poisoned, but only its belly was flat-out-
