Before going to the roof of the side building, they also need to climb a tower about two meters high, because there are serrated bricks on the edge of the tower as a cover, which can make them more hidden and safer.
Climbing the tower is also easier because there is also a sewage pipe. Through the sewage pipe, they easily reached the top of the tower.
After coming out of the sewage pipe, angel saw a slender narrow road with a slight inclination. This road, for them the size of thumbman, belongs to a narrow road, which is estimated to be two palms wide. Its function is to collect rainwater and sewage to avoid infiltration into the floor.
"Just go straight along here and you can reach the side building. Most importantly, it completely bypasses the investigation scope of the puppet forbidden guards. They didn't think it could pass here." While walking, bunny tea showed off how she found the road.
Angel echoed a few words from time to time, but just as the rabbit tea said warmly, suddenly, a burst of footsteps came into their ears.
Rabbit tea was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth, looked carefully left and right, and tried to find the sound source.
Opposite the rabbit tea, angel also squatted under the jagged brick and covered his body with shadow.
After a long time, the sound of footsteps slowly went away. Angel stretched out his hand and pointed down..
According to his judgment, the voice seemed to come from below.
After confirming that the footsteps had disappeared, rabbit tea came to angel and whispered, "there should be puppet guards on the third floor."
While talking, rabbit tea quietly poked its head out of the recess of the serrated brick and looked down.
Two seconds later, rabbit tea retracted her head: "yes, it's the sound from the third floor. They didn't close the window, so the sound is so loud."
"Didn't you close the window?"
Rabbit tea nodded: "in fact, many windows in the castle are not closed, because the count of black tea has the habit of raising crows. If the crows are hungry, they will go back to the castle. Opening the windows is to come back with the crows."
"But generally speaking, those crows will solve the food problem in the black tea forest. I rarely see them coming back."
Angel thought, "since most of the windows are open, in fact, we can enter the room through the window?"
Rabbit tea said angrily, "I can, but are you sure you can do it?"
Angel: "...?"
Rabbit tea: "do you want to climb the wall with your bare hands? Even the window on the first floor is open at a height of two meters. Can you climb it? Also, in the evening, it's very windy here. If you don't pay attention, you may be blown away."
At this time, rabbit tea pointed to the serrated bricks on both sides of the sewage channel: "otherwise, do you think I will take you here? Both sides are sealed here. Even if there is a strong wind, you don't have to worry about being blown out."
Angel was stunned. It turned out that rabbit tea had been letting him climb the pipe, considering his weakness?
But is it really impossible to enter the room from the window, as rabbit tea said? Isn't there a pipe right next to the window?
Angel also stood up and looked down carefully.
At this look, it made him take a breath.
I always thought the third floor was very low before, but he forgot that he had become a thumbman at this time. With his current volume and comparing the height of the third floor, it's a natural moat!
Moreover, rabbit tea is right. The walls of the castle are very smooth. Even if there are brick cracks, it is difficult to ensure that they can climb from the bottom to the window.
If you fall down carelessly, you'll really die.
"Don't worry, it's still in the servants' living building, so there will be puppet guards wandering around. When you get to the side building, you don't have to worry about those stupid puppets." Just now, angel thought tea was still comforting the rabbit.
Angel didn't explain, just nodded.
Before, he thought it was hard to walk around the pipe, but now he understands the good intentions of rabbit tea.
It can be said that rabbit tea chose to take this road only after considering angel's safety.
"Let's go." After the rabbit finished his tea, he continued to walk towards the front.
But after walking a few steps, he found that angel didn't follow up. When he looked back, he noticed that angel was holding a cloak wrapped in a saddle and wiping the brick he had just supported by his hand.
"There are palmprint marks." Angel explained.
Rabbit tea: "it doesn't matter. No one will check here anyway."
Angel: "it's always good to be careful."
Since rabbit tea has been considering his safety all the way, angel is embarrassed to enjoy it in vain, but he can help rabbit tea now. The only thing he can do is to erase the traces left by them as much as possible to avoid future troubles.
Although rabbit tea felt that angel was a little superfluous, it didn't say anything. It waited silently for angel to clean up the traces around before moving on.
……
Soon, they passed through the living building of the puppet servant and came to the quieter side building.
What they have to do now is to go down from the flue of the side building and enter the interior of the castle.
The flue of the side building is about half a meter above the ground. There is no support for this half meter, that is to say, they have to climb with their bare hands.
This unarmed climb also gave angel a better understanding of why it was difficult to turn over the window. This is only half a meter of climbing, which makes Angel gasp for breath. Considering the height of the third floor, angel is completely empty.
Thanks to more brick gaps in the flue, angel was given time to rest, otherwise it would take him a long time to climb to the top.
When he came to the top of the flue, rabbit tea had been waiting for a long time. Before Angel rested, it grabbed his hand.
While angel was still wondering, a cold wind blew.
Angel immediately felt that his body was weightless and his feet were blown off the ground. Thanks to the rabbit tea, the tea still pulled him, otherwise he would be really finished.
When the wind stopped, rabbit tea released her hand: "now you know how dangerous it is to climb the wall with your bare hands. You were in the leeward position when you climbed the wall just now, so it's OK. Think about what it would be like if you followed the wind or the wind blew from your side."
Angel didn't know what it was like, because he didn't dare to think about it at all!
Rabbit tea looked at the dark sky: "it's estimated that the wind will come later. Don't waste it outside. Let's hurry into the castle."
After that, rabbit tea took off its hat and shook it gently. The teapot Hat Rose in the wind, doubled in size, and filled with air.
"Hold on!"
After that, rabbit tea took the teapot cap as the "parachute" and jumped directly into the flue.
Seeing this, angel grabbed the side of the teapot cap.
Angel only felt a moment of weightlessness, followed by a leisurely fall. About dozens of seconds later, they finally fell to the ground.
After several seconds, angel's uncontrollable heartbeat gradually slowed down. Then Angel stood up and looked around.
They are now in a pile of firewood, which should be unlit firewood.
"Lucky! There's no one here. You can come out." The sound of rabbit tea came.
Angel looked over and found that rabbit tea had already gone out of the firewood. At this time, he had walked around the room.
Making sure the room was empty, angel followed out. Before leaving, angel didn't forget to wipe his footprints with rabbit tea.
"This is the guest bedroom on the third floor of the side building. Usually no one comes." While talking, rabbit tea climbed up the corner of a table and took a silver fork from the table. "It's not bad. You can make a flag when you go back."
Then angel saw the rabbit tea put the fork into the hat.
Angel didn't know how the huge fork disappeared into the teapot hat, but now he seemed to understand why rabbit tea would follow him to the castle.
Maybe it's not just to help him find the mirror, it should also use the castle as his spare library.
I estimated that everything in the rabbit hole was brought from the castle.
"You can take whatever you like. Anyway, no one will come here. Even if someone comes, I don't know what's missing." Rabbit tea: "this is the best side building."
Angel shook his head. "No, I can't take it with me even if I take it."
Rabbit tea glanced up and down at angel and nodded: "yes, you don't have a place to put things... But then again, if you find that mirror, how can you take it away?"
Angel: "I don't know, and I don't have to take it."
Angel guessed that finding the mirror might be the key to the omen, not taking it away.
Think about it. Where can I take the mirror with me? This is a sign after all. The mirror is taken outside, which is basically the same as the mirror left here.
However, this is also angel's guess. Whether it is so or not, we still need to see the mirror before we know.
"Yes, you entered the teapot country because of the mirror. Maybe you can leave the teapot country as long as you find the mirror..." rabbit tea: "moreover, if you really can't fit it, I can help you install the mirror at that time. Just right, my rabbit hole also lacks a mirror."
Angel: "... Thank you."
After staying in the room for a while, bunny tea took angel out of the door.
The side building is worthy of being a side building. No one was seen from the third floor to the first floor. Even the puppet servant had no trace.
However, as soon as they left the wing, they heard the sound of jumping. However, I only heard the sound, but I didn't see anyone. It's estimated that it came from the next building. But even so, you can also know that leaving from the side building is equivalent to leaving the safety zone. The next journey must be done step by step.
"Next, we're going to the main building. Whether it's the storeroom, study or treasure house, it's all in or near the main building." After the rabbit tea drew up the next goal, it began to "break through" with angel.
From the side building to the main building, there is a corridor with a straight distance of about 20 meters.
It is worth mentioning that the outside of the corridor is a closed wall, but the inside of the corridor is a small open-air area. As like as two peas, the open area is designed to be a pond.
Walking directly in the corridor, it's easy to meet the puppet servant by chance. So Bunny tea took angel to the other side of the pond. At the edge of the pond and corridor, there is a spacing area, which belongs to dry land and is enough to accommodate their passage.
But if you don't prepare, it's hard to go all the way to the end.
Because cannibal teapot fish are very sensitive to the smell of creatures. If they smell the smell of angel and rabbit tea, they will definitely come along with the smell.
Fortunately, rabbit tea is ready.
He took out one grass green ball after another from his hat and threw it into the pond.
The teapot fish in the pond immediately rioted, and angel saw several teapot fish jump out of the water just to compete for the grass-green balls.
When the pond returned to calm, the rabbit tea stopped throwing grass balls, turned his head and motioned to angel, "you can go."
Rabbit tea took the lead in climbing over the guardrail of the corridor, and angel quickly followed.
"Hurry, I seem to hear the footsteps of the puppet maid. Moreover, my mystery grass meat ball can only make the teapot fish faint for two minutes. We must take advantage of this time to stay away from the pond."
After that, rabbit tea ran forward quickly. Angel didn't think much, and ran with rabbit tea.
About half a minute later, angel heard a click. It was obvious that the puppet maid had come to the corridor.
Angel didn't know whether to hide, but when he saw that rabbit tea was still running, he also clenched his teeth and continued to run with tea.
As the footsteps drew nearer and nearer, angel quickened his pace.
Another minute later, angel saw the rabbit tea behind a big tree waving to him. He jumped and came to tea. Before angel's body landed, he was caught behind the tree by tea.
At the same time, a stiff and strange looking puppet maid slowly leaned out her long head and looked at the pond.
If angel is one step later, the maid is expected to find him.
It can be said that he was facing the last step and escaped the attention of the maid.
The puppet maid seemed very confused about the calm pond. She leaned out her giraffe like hat and looked left and right... Usually these teapot fish would jump out of the water excitedly as long as they heard its footsteps. Why did they suddenly wilt today?
Is it dead?
If you die, do you want to feed the fish? No, if it dies, it is estimated that it will also be killed by the count. After all, it is arranged by the count to feed the fish full-time.
As thoughts flashed through the mind of the puppet maid, the pond revived.
Several cannibal teapot fish jumped out of the water, cracked their fanged mouths and attacked the puppet maid.
The maid, who was still confused, finally opened her stiff mouth when she saw such a "lively" teapot fish.
Great, it seems that the fish is all right... I guess they were sleeping before? Or, deliberately waiting quietly for an attack?
Whatever it is, the maid thinks it doesn't matter, as long as it's alive.
"Lala... Lala..."
The puppet maid hummed a strange, ugly and hoarse song and threw lumps of meat of unknown creatures into the pond.
The teapot fish immediately gave up the attack on the maid and began to bite the white meat floating on the surface of the pond.
In just a few seconds, the meat disappeared and there were no bones left.
The puppet maid was satisfied with the vitality of the teapot fish and continued to feed the meat.
A few minutes later, after making sure that the teapot fish were full for seven minutes, the puppet maid slowly left
When the maid left, angel whispered, "that was the maid just now?"
Rabbit tea nodded, "yes."
Perhaps seeing angel's face still in shock, rabbit tea comforted: "the maids of black tea castle are like this. It's terrible, so you should be more careful. Once found, you will die."
Angel nodded blankly.
The maid just now... She was dressed as a maid, but her face looked like a puppet. It's not over yet. It's amazing that her neck can stretch several meters long.
Besides, the foot under the maid's skirt is also very strange, with only one leg, just like the puppet guard. However, the puppet guard is bouncing, but the puppet maid's feet seem to be equipped with rollers, like drifting on the flat ground.
If the whole castle is full of these terrible servants, the difficulty of this omen is too high, isn't it?
What kind of mirror did he refine to produce such a difficult omen?
