Chapter 209 Confusion
Secret passage?
Xia Lan walked to the corner of the girl's disappearing wall with the horseshoe lamp in her hand, reached out and pressed her hand on the cold dark blue wall and groped up and down. However, he did not find any traces of the mechanism hidden there. It was not as simple as it seemed.
Since she had found nothing, Xia Lan immediately gave up her thoughts of inquiry and continued to read the many books placed on the bookshelf.
He didn't care too much about the girl's mysterious escape, and even had anger no longer arises. Instead, he really appreciated the way he dealt with adversity.
Cunning, agile, calm.
These descriptions are enough to show her ability, but I don’t know what kind of relationship she has with Viscount Frant!
Xia Lan's speed of reading books in front of the bookshelf has changed significantly compared to the moment. She basically finished reading it quickly in two or three seconds. He didn't look like he was reading at all, but seemed to be looking for something.
He knew that there was not much time left for the girl since she escaped, and it would not take long before the guards in Glady Fort would receive an alarm and be on guard to surround him and arrest him.
He was not afraid of the guards of Glady Fort, but he was cautious that Viscount Frant would hide unknown means in secret. If there was a slight omission, it was very likely that he would have any accidents.
With scattered perception and being vigilant about the movements around him, Xia Lan read all the books on the first bookshelf in a short time, but unfortunately he still did not find what he expected.
Turning his gaze to the desk with documents in a mess in front of him, Xia Lan thought for a while, could the clue be there?
However, his next action denied a certain conjecture in his heart. He walked to another bookshelf and repeated his previous action again.
...
"Hmph! I want to threaten and hurt me. I really underestimate my ability!"
Carefully walking through the dark and narrow secret passage, the girl in white satin pajamas muttered in her mouth.
"But, who is he? Why did he secretly search Uncle Hamil's study? And the other party was able to sneak into it through the guards in the fort, which shows that he must have a skill that should not be underestimated!"
I recalled the other person's every move in the study, and it seemed that the person was looking for something? And is there any ulterior secret in Uncle Hamil's study?
The girl thought for a long time, and before she could realize that she also reached the end of the secret passage.
He reached out and groped at the wall. When she touched a protrusion, she immediately pressed it down. The stone wall that was blocking her was suddenly pushed open like a door.
Walking out of the secret passage, he touched the stone door of the exit of a certain mechanism to close the secret passage. The sleepy girl looked around the empty room around her and patted her chest gently with her little hand.
"It's finally safe."
Faced with what just happened, the girl could not have a trace of fear and fear in her heart. She has heard of many kidnapping incidents. Many times, after using the hostages in her hands, they usually choose to kill and silence them.
She was sure that if she had not escaped in time, she would not have been able to avoid the same ending.
If the other party's purpose was not Viscount Frant's study, it would be hard for her to imagine how she could solve the dangerous situation at that time.
After calming down the fear in her heart, the girl took a deep breath. The most important thing she needed to do now was to notify the guards in the castle immediately!
However, intuition vaguely told her that even the guards in the fort were not able to capture the other party after they were warned!
...
No, no, no!
After searching through most of the books on the bookshelf, Xia Lan felt that her patience was about to be exhausted, and her emotional restlessness became increasingly difficult to control!
Suddenly, his ears moved.
Finally here?
Sensing the strong murderous aura gathered in a certain direction, Xia Lan knew that the guards in Glady Fort were dispatched!
He took off a thick book at the bottom of the bookshelf and turned the pages with his fingers habitually, but Xia Lan's attention was focused on the fierce aura that was constantly approaching the study.
Maybe we can only take the last resort!
After closing the book in his hand, the virtual ring between Xia Lan's finger suddenly emitted a faint light. In an instant, the books on the bookshelf that he had not yet read disappeared!
He quickly walked to Viscount Frant's desk, waved his hand and saw that the gray-brown ancient desk disappeared.
At this time, a dense and loud bell alarm sounded suddenly throughout the quiet Glady Fort at night!
"Bang--"
A violent sound came, and the door of Viscount Frant's study blew up smoke and dust and wood chips, and countless soldiers wearing black armor rushed in with sharp blades in their hands in an instant!
However.
No trace of anyone was found in their sight.
The soft moonlight poured into the open windows in the study room. The cold wind kept waving the curtains hanging on both sides, and the soldiers who poured into the study room were then moved away from both sides, and a tall middle-aged man slowly appeared in it.
He was wearing a dark blue fluffy coat, and even only had a pair of deer-skin slippers under his feet. On his pale and cold face, he was staring at the original position of the desk!
"Selala!"
Walking to the tall bookshelf erected by the wall, the middle-aged man slowly lowered his body and reached out to pick up a book that was discarded on the ground. After a while, a low and magnetic voice sounded in the study.
"Uncle Hamil, I'm here."
In the direction of the door of the shabby study room, a girl in white walked through the soldiers and walked in hurriedly.
"Do you still remember the appearance of the person who held you hostage?"
The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the open window with his hands behind his back.
"Of course I remember!"
The girl in white looked a little restrained when facing the other person.
"Very good, you can draw the person's appearance and look clearly for me later!"
The middle-aged man ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!" The girl in white nodded immediately.
"Han Luowei!"
"I'm here!"
After the middle-aged man called out another name, a expressionless man walked out of the soldier in the study.
"Transfer my order! Martial law is imposed throughout the city!"
The middle-aged man's voice became cold, as cold as the wind.
“Follow your will!”
The expressionless man immediately left the study after giving a military salute.
The girl in white lowered her head, but couldn't help but carefully observe the scene in the study room. The most interesting thing was that the conspicuous desk in the study room was gone, and there seemed to be some books missing on the bookshelf erected by the wall.
How exactly did that man take them away? And why did he take them away?
And according to Uncle Hamil's serious attitude, it seems that something missing in the study must have hidden some secret!
Curiosity is a woman's nature.
