By "when the horizon is red", Julie should mean the sunset glow.
However, what does the sentence "if you want to enter the castle, prepare first" mean, which Angel didn't understand for a moment? What do they need to prepare?
When angel was about to ask, rabbit tea pulled his skirt: "you come with me."
After that, rabbit tea waved to Julie and took Angel back to the edge of the black tea forest.
When it was determined that there was no one around, rabbit tea said, "it should be here. The group of man eating crows are not here."
Why are we talking about crows again? Angel was full of doubts and said, "what are we going to do now?"
Rabbit tea said, "of course, be ready to go to the city."
Angel: "how to prepare?"
Rabbit tea looked at Angel angrily: "you're getting smaller and your brain is getting stupid. Of course, you're trying to disguise yourself."
Speaking of this, rabbit tea pointed to Julie in the distance: "if you don't look, Julie is the size of an ordinary pony. If we want to follow Julie in, we must make a disguise, or we'll be finished if we're found."
Simply speaking of disguise, angel understood the meaning of tea. However, both of them will be found in disguise.
Angel had thought that Julie would pull some carriages or food stalls back to the castle so that they could hide. But now listening to tea means that Julie just goes back to town light? Julie has neither saddle nor reins, nor any place to hide. They can't disguise
No, there's a disguise that seems to work! Angel suddenly thought of something.
"You mean, we pretend to be teapots and cups?"
Angell thought he had the right answer. He was satisfied. Next, the rabbit tea and tea had no good breath. "Have you ever seen a saddle without a saddle, and make complaints about a teapot and a teacup?"
Angel: "I haven't seen it."
Rabbit tea: "that's enough. Don't treat the guard of the castle as a fool!"
Watching the rabbit tea teach himself with righteous words on his face, angel's expression was a little subtle. It is normal for teapots and cups to appear on the thatch pile. Why is it abnormal to appear on horseback?
Angel felt that he didn't understand the teapot country more and more.
It seems to have self consistent logic, but in fact it can't stand pondering and is completely absurd.
Angel did not argue, but asked, "what are we going to pretend to be?"
Facing angel's doubt, rabbit tea pointed to the forest directly ahead: "have you forgotten the use of the forest?"
Black tea forest?
Angel was stunned for a moment and his eyes brightened: "do you mean that we make our bodies smaller through the power of the forest, hide on Julie and sneak into the castle?"
"It's not stupid." Rabbit tea nodded: "yes, as long as we become small enough, we can hide in Julie's mane and won't be found."
Small enough, it's estimated to become a karabit
"Shall we go back to the forest now?"
Rabbit tea shook her head: "wait, I'll change your hat."
Angel originally thought that the crow was not nearby. He could directly take off his hat and enter the black tea forest and come out when he became smaller.
"What's the operation of changing hats?"
Rabbit tea rubbed his swollen head, and some doubted whether it was the right choice to come out with Angel: "didn't I tell you that without a hat, the reduction of the black tea forest is irreversible. When you return to the world, do you still want to maintain the little thumbman?"
Angel would like to say that this is an alchemical omen. As long as the game is broken successfully, the alchemist will be fine.
But finally he held back and changed a new hat according to the standard of rabbit tea.
This time, angel's hat was a teapot hat. However, unlike the teapot cap of rabbit tea, this teapot cap is not fancy. There is only a small carrot pattern on the pure white shell.
"Well, put on this hat and you'll get smaller when you walk around the forest. But when you take off your hat, your height will recover."
After that, rabbit tea waved and motioned angel to go to the black tea forest.
Angel was about to ask "what do you do?" as soon as he looked back, he found that the body of rabbit tea had shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, rabbit tea has become a little white rabbit with a thumb.
"Why do you look at me? Hurry up. The sky will be dyed red soon, and you won't be able to get in later. Besides, the crows are on the other side now. If you slow down and are found by them, you will suffer as well."
Angel nodded, said nothing more, and stormed into the black tea forest.
After a minute's brisk run around the tree, angel returned to the edge of the forest. At this time, he has become a complete thumbman.
Even smaller than Dan gross.
Without waiting for angel to adapt to the feeling of becoming a villain, he was stopped by rabbit tea and ran towards Julie.
After becoming a villain, the speed of running is obviously much slower. It was only more than ten seconds before. Now, it took two minutes to get to Julie's side.
Before, when Angel looked at Julie, he just thought the foal was quite big. Now look at Julie, it's a huge thing.
There is no doubt that if Julie has a little bad mind, she can trample him flat with one foot.
Fortunately, when Julie saw them, she didn't attack. Instead, she buried her head on the ground and took the initiative to let rabbit tea and angel climb up its mane.
Julie's mane was very fluffy. Angel and tea were hidden inside, and her figure was completely hidden.
However, because the mane was too dense and too long, angel could not see the outside at this time. It was completely black.
This feeling that life can't be controlled in his own hands has not been experienced by angel for a long time.
Uneasy and uneasy, but also strong self composure, and silently prayed in my heart: Julie is reliable.
Rabbit tea, perhaps aware of angel's uneasiness, whispered comfortingly, "don't worry. When we get to the castle, we can go out."
Angel had nothing to do but nod.
Now Julie didn't go back to the castle immediately. She was still eating grass outside leisurely. It's not Julie delaying time, but when the sunset rises to the sky, the castle gate will open again.
At that time, there will be a shift of forbidden guards.
Julie usually takes advantage of this time to go back to the stable in the castle.
Now, although the sky has become red, it is not the time for the handover of the forbidden guards. Therefore, Julie can continue to eat grass outside.
"Can I talk to Julie?" Angel whispered.
Rabbit tea was just about to speak. Suddenly, she heard a sound of jumping and hopping. She quickly said "Shh" to angel.
Then, rabbit tea said silently with her lips, "the puppet forbidden guard is coming. We'll talk about it later."
The footsteps of puppet guards came to Julie from far to near.
Then Angel heard some strange sounds from the puppet guards... Julie also hissed, as if in response to the puppet guards.
They exchanged for several minutes before the footsteps of the puppet guards slowly faded away.
When it was determined that the puppet guard was gone, the rabbit tea whispered, "the puppet guard's ears are not so sensitive, but if we speak under its eyes, we will still be found."
Angel: what's the perception of the puppet guards? Will they find us
Rabbit tea: "don't worry. Although the puppet guard has strong perception ability, he doesn't dare to investigate Julie. Julie is the mount of the count of black tea. Although there is no clear distinction between high and low status, Julie contacts the count all year round, and the puppet guard doesn't dare to make a fuss over Julie."
At this time, bunny tea also proudly showed off her achievements - she entered the castle a lot through Julie.
Angel: then why did the puppet guards come here just now
Rabbit tea: "I'm telling Julie that the Chengmen bridge is about to fall and ready to open the door."
As soon as the voice of rabbit tea fell, angel heard a cry. Then came the creaking sound. Although angel could not see the outside, he could probably guess that the Chengmen bridge had fallen just by listening to the sound.
It also means that the gate of the castle is open!
Angel could already feel that Julie stopped eating grass and walked slowly towards the moat.
Angel had wanted to talk to Julie and ask about the mirror, but now he didn't dare to say anything. After all, we are about to enter the inner wall of the castle, and the guard must be more strict than the outside. You'd better be careful. If there's a problem, it's not good.
With the sound of footsteps, Julie has come to the Chengmen bridge.
Angel even heard the trampling sound. Obviously, many forbidden guards came out of the castle.
Angel thought it was the guard handover mentioned by rabbit tea, but after a long time, he didn't hear anything from Julie.
Julie seemed to stop and didn't move on.
Rabbit tea is also confused. She said to angel with her lips, "something's wrong."
Angel's heart pounded... Won't Julie deceive her?
At the sight of angel's expression, rabbit tea guessed his thoughts and continued to say with lips, "I'm not saying that Julie is wrong, but there are a lot of forbidden guards coming out this time, which is a little wrong. Moreover, I seem to hear the neighing of horses..."
In the black tea castle, only the count of black tea has horses, and all other guards have no horses, because there is no need to match them. Puppet guards really have to run with all their strength. They are much faster than mark.
The Earl of black tea matched his horse only to match his identity.
Now Julie is outside and doesn't hiss. But rabbit tea heard the horse cry, which could only be the pure white heavenly horse or the pure black war horse.
These two horses usually don't bark unless the count of black tea... Travel!
Rabbit tea said his guess in lip language: "if it's the Earl of black tea, it's a good thing for us."
As soon as the tea voice fell, angel also heard the horse neighing, and the voice was getting closer and closer.
Cha Cha quickly "Shh" to angel.
It is now certain that the count of black tea must have gone out. Otherwise, there can be no horse sound.
Although the count of black tea certainly wouldn't care about Julie's face saving horse, the tea still kept silent and didn't even say a word just in case.
Angel also held his breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to go out.
Roar of the horse's hooves sounded from ear, did not stay in middle, and soon disappeared into distance.
And then Julie moved again.
At this time, rabbit tea also gathered around angel and said with lips: "it seems that we are lucky. That was the voice of the war horse just now. I guess the count of black tea must have gone to war..."
Moreover, only when the great men of the teapot country set out to fight, the count of black tea would ride a war horse.
For example, when the Earl of black tea and the white tea princess had a dispute, they rode on a war horse to confront the white tea princess.
Of course, this time it's definitely not a white tea princess. Although I don't know who it is, it's definitely a great thing. The battle of the Earl of black tea usually lasts for several days, which is equivalent to creating a very good opportunity for them to sneak in.
Angel felt a little relaxed when he heard this.
However, angel did not dare to speak, even his lips. Because he had heard Julie's neighing, it seemed to be saying something to the guards on one side, and, as he said it, he walked into the castle.
This also means that Julie is accompanied by puppet guards.
And they hid in Julie's mane, so close that angel didn't dare to act rashly.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for several minutes.
I don't know how long later, angel finally couldn't hear the voice of the puppet guard, only Julie's hooves.
When Julie entered her stable and made sure there was no one around, she lowered her head and shook out the angel and rabbit tea in her mane, just shaking it down in the horse grass.
"It's all right. There are no guards near my stables. Do whatever you want." After a pause, Julie said again, "you're lucky. The count went out. I asked the guard and it's said that he went to the West. It's estimated that he won't come back in a short time. As long as you don't make too much noise, there should be no problem."
The rabbit tea patted the dust on his body and stood up from the horse grass: "West? Is the count going to fight the black tea Archduke?"
Julie shook her head: "I don't know. I didn't ask from the forbidden guards. It's none of our business whether it's the Grand Duke of black tea, the princess of green tea or the crown prince of scented tea. Hurry up and don't waste a good time."
Rabbit tea put on the teapot hat again: "I see. Thank you this time."
Julie hummed, "don't make a big mess, even if you deserve me."
Bunny tea, without saying anything, looked at Angel: "didn't you just say you wanted to talk to Julie, now you can."
Julie: talk to me
Julie looked at angel with disgust and doubt in her eyes: "for tea's sake, just tell me what you have."
Angel showed his gratitude and said in as gentle a way as possible: "I heard that the count of black tea brought back a half mirror today?"
