Next to the black tea forest stands a tall castle with black walls and tiles. The castle is extremely heavily guarded, with not only a city wall, but also a moat.
The only gate connecting the interior of the castle can only pass after falling off the bridge.
And here is the castle of the count of black tea.
At this moment, in the southwest of the castle, that is, the edge of the black forest, two small heads came out from behind a pile of tall thatch.
One is angel, the other is rabbit tea.
"Well, there seems to be a puppet with boots over there?" Angel's eyes locked on the strange puppet man outside the moat, wearing black eye masks and high boots on his head.. At first glance, it looks like a scarecrow, with only one foot, bouncing around outside the moat.
"Don't look at it! It's the puppet guard under the black tea count. As long as you look at it for a long time, it will find your trace." Rabbit tea whispered.
"So sharp?" Angel whispered.
Rabbit tea: "it's not psychic awareness, it's the ability given to it by the count of black tea. Its ability is anti reconnaissance and dead eyes."
Reconnaissance, anti angel can understand. But straight dead eyes, what is this ability?
Rabbit Cha explained in a low voice: "what is seen by its eyes, whether it is human or me, or other creatures, will die directly. This is the ability of the eyes of direct death."
"Direct death? No exception?" Angel asked, frowning.
Rabbit tea: "there are exceptions. As long as your life energy is higher than it, you can exempt the eyes of straight death. But..."
Rabbit tea looked at angel up and down and whispered, "you can't. your life energy is more erratic than ordinary people. If you are stared at by it, you will die."
Angel is not the real body into the aura, there is no entity, only spiritual, and his life energy is indeed very low. Once he is really targeted by the puppet guard, he will die.
As for whether the death here will affect the reality... This is for sure.
Are there few alchemists trapped and killed in the omen? Even the mysterious alchemist frost once followed was trapped in the omen, not to mention angel.
Therefore, angel wanted to observe openly, but now he immediately followed his heart.
However, just as angel lowered his head to avoid looking at the puppet, the other party seemed to find something and just turned his head to the thatch pile.
"Bad!" Angel hurried to get down, but rabbit tea caught him.
"Don't lie down. You'll get its attention if you lie down." Rabbit tea whispered.
Angel's face showed anxiety: "but if we don't lie down, our hats will be seen by it."
Angel wears a teacup hat on his head, and rabbit tea wears a gorgeous teapot hat. As long as it is human, you will find something wrong.
Rabbit tea: "it doesn't matter to be seen with a hat. Isn't it normal that there are tea cups and teapots on the thatch pile?"
Angel: "ah?"
Angel didn't know what Bunny tea was talking about at all, but he stopped at its words.
The puppet forbidden guard glanced at the thatch, then looked at the teacups and teapots on the thatch pile. Without any expression, he hopped to other places.
Listening to the footsteps of puppet guards leaving, angel looked incredible.
The other party really didn't find them?
Are you blind when there is such a gorgeous teapot on the thatch pile?
In the face of angel's incredible expression, rabbit tea pulled his skirt: "this is not the human world, this is the teapot country. It's normal for teapots and teacups to appear anywhere. If you don't believe it, look into the moat."
Angel followed the direction of the rabbit's tea fingers and saw two fish emerging from the moat. They looked like two teapots.
"These are teapot piranhas. Don't underestimate them. The count of black tea deliberately raised them in the moat. They are very dangerous and fierce!"
Although rabbit tea says so, angel really doesn't see where they are dangerous, but it's better to listen to tea.
This country feels too absurd and uninhibited. The puppet guards have the unreasonable ability to look straight at death. It's just like the nightmare world... Eh, isn't this the nightmare world?
Angel shook his head and threw out his chaotic thoughts. Even if it was a nightmare, he was not Sava now, but a mortal without any ability.
If you want to save your life, it's better to follow tea. After all, angel spent many years selling sympathy in front of rabbit tea; Finally, he contributed several fairy tales before inviting rabbit tea out of the mountain.
He sacrificed so much that he naturally had to lie down with the tea devil to win.
Yes, this time, angel and rabbit tea appeared near the castle of the Earl of black tea, precisely because of angel's selling and acting.
When Angel learned that the count of black tea got the "mirror", he had a premonition in his heart that this mirror might be the source of this strange omen.
The count has to take a great risk to find the black tea in the castle.
So Angel stared at rabbit tea.
According to tea itself, it had sneaked into the Earl of black tea's collection just to find a beautiful hat.
Although he didn't know whether tea was a boast or a real experience, anyhow, after listening to it, angel had the idea of turning around tea to help.
He saw that tea seemed to have a "good feeling" for him, so he began to throw away his face and sell miserable acting.
It's just not enough.
After Angel learned that tea wanted some bedtime stories, he racked his brains to think about some fairy tales and coaxed tea out of the mountain.
Therefore, they have their counterparts this time.
……
According to tea, their first task is to blend into the black tea castle.
With the strict guard of black tea castle, it's not easy to get in. At present, one of the safest ways tea has come up with is to find its friend Julie for help.
Julie, it's the mount of the count of black tea. But it's one of the mounts.
The count of black tea has three mounts, corresponding to three horses, a pure white heavenly horse, a black war horse, and a less attractive Brown maned horse.
The brown maned horse is Julie.
According to rabbit tea, black tea Earl prefers Tianma and war horse, but Julie, a brown horse, is usually used most.
The reason is that the brown horse is closer to the people.
In order to create a people-friendly image for the people in the territory, the Earl of black tea will choose a brown horse with no characteristics every time he travels.
It doesn't matter whether it works or not, but Julie is so lucky to stand out from countless brown horses and become one of the three mounts of the black count.
Moreover, compared with the well fed Tianma and war horse, the brown horse Julie has more free space. It can be free to eat grass outside the castle or enter the castle stables to rest.
This freedom is also the place where the count of black tea shows his affinity for the people, but it also gives them the opportunity to sneak into the count's castle.
"We'll walk around outside the castle later. If I meet Julie, I can sneak you into the castle today, but if Julie doesn't eat grass outside the castle today, we can only wait for the next chance." Rabbit tea whispered.
Angell nodded, and the expression "the tea devil has the final say".
Next, they began to move slowly through the grass, looking for Julie.
In the process, angel also asked a question in his heart: "is Julie reliable?"
Rabbit tea: "don't worry, it used to be like me. It was an introducer and was friendly to mankind."
"Receiver?"
Rabbit tea: "it's the person who accidentally came to the teapot country. This is an organization set up by the human husband of the last empress. Those who can become the recipients are moderates."
At this time, rabbit tea sighed: "however, with the birth of the new emperor, this institution has also been abolished. We, the recipients, have also scattered everywhere."
"By the way, Julie can stand out from countless brown horses because of her gentle character, which can more easily capture the hearts of the people in the territory of the count of black tea... But she can't capture the hearts of the count of black tea."
After hearing the identity of the addressee, angel remembered the story "Louis's hat" told by Feng again.
Louis entered the teapot country to save his wife and help him. He was an introducer. Moreover, in the story description, the recipient is a rabbit named... Tea.
Later, in order to help Louis, tea also gave his life. Luigi made a hat from the fur of tea.
This hat is the most important prop in the story: Louis's hat.
It's also the origin of crazy hat.
The rabbit creature that angel accidentally refined in huangnv town is also named "tea tea" because of this story.
Angel was silent for a moment. "Since you were the receiver, do you know a man named Louis?"
Rabbit tea recalled for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Angel breathed a sigh of relief: "I wish I hadn't heard it, I wish I hadn't heard it..."
Rabbit tea asked suspiciously, "who is he?" Why did Angel deliberately mention the name?
Angel: "you don't care who he is, anyway... Stay away from him."
The rabbit tea didn't know, so it was trying to continue to ask, but just then, its remaining light glimpsed a touch of brown.
"Yes, that's Julie!"
Angel was still thinking about how to explain "Louis", because Julie's appearance saved him a little tongue.
Angel followed the guidance of tea. I saw a brown maned horse, wagging its tail, eating grass on the fertile grass.
"Is this Julie?"
Rabbit tea nodded, "yes, let's go and look for it."
Really Julie? Angel thought Julie would dress up like rabbit tea. As a result, she looked like a very ordinary horse.
Rabbit tea saw that angel hadn't followed for a long time and thought he was still worried, so she comforted: "don't worry, Julie can distinguish good thoughts from evil thoughts. As long as you have good thoughts, it won't do anything to you."
Of course, if angel is malicious, forget Julie. Maybe rabbit tea will abandon him at this time.
Angel is not afraid of being identified. His coming here is an accident, and there must be no malice. If he is kind, he can show his kindness as long as he can help him get rid of the omen, even the count of black tea.
Angel thought of this and quickly followed up
……
Is Julie friendly?
If you take the crows in the black tea forest as the standard, Julie would be very friendly. But if you take rabbit tea as the standard, it's very different.
Julie's eyes on angel were scrutinizing and skeptical.
Angel even felt that Julie saw evil thoughts in him?
After angel was stared at for three minutes, Julie turned her head and talked to rabbit tea.
From Julie's words, we can know that it does not see evil thoughts in angel. It is kind, but it still carries human cunning. Julie advised rabbit tea to help carefully.
However, rabbit tea waved: "I know he must have some small 99 in his heart, but I also know he won't hurt me."
Julie asked why.
Rabbit tea can't say, just muttering. This is an intuition.
Julie whispered, "intuition is unreliable."
Then Julie looked at angel and said in a lighter voice: "... Humans are unreliable."
Whether rabbit tea heard Julie's self murmur, angel didn't know, but he heard it.
At present, Julie's attitude is not as bad as the crows, but angel doesn't see the "friendly to human beings" in the mouth of rabbit tea.
Moreover, from Julie's mouth, angel heard that it actually did not trust human beings.
The only lucky thing is that although what Julie said is slightly different from that of rabbit tea, Julie didn't refuse the request for tea, but said seriously:
"I can take you into the castle, but I can only take you to the castle stables. I can't help with the rest."
After all, Julie is just a horse. She can eat grass freely outside the castle, but inside the castle, she can only stay in the stable.
Think about it. If a horse wanders in the castle hall, it obviously has a problem.
Moreover, not to mention Julie, even the heavenly horses and war horses most valued by the count of black tea stay in the stables on weekdays, but their stables are in the depths of the castle, which is more luxurious.
"No problem!" Rabbit tea nodded: "just leave the rest to me. I know the inside of the castle very well!"
Julie knows it's not the first time to sneak into the castle.
But even so, stealing into the castle is very dangerous. Tea tea is fine. Now it takes a human into it, which makes Julie very confused. After all, human beings are always surprised by the unknown, especially the castle full of traps, which is likely to be caught accidentally.
You don't have to worry about walking alone, but with humans, the probability of being found increases a lot,
In Julie's opinion, tea tea is looking for guilt.
However, after all, tea is her good friend, and Julie knows it's hard to persuade tea, so she can only let it go.
"Now that you're going in, get ready... I'll go back to the castle when the sky is red."
