Each disciple is not simple

When he got closer, Mingjia saw clearly that the person was actually a little boy.

The boy's gorgeous and complicated aristocratic costume had been torn by sharp thorns, with all kinds of scratches all over the place. Some of the wounds had dried up, while others were still bleeding.

Mingjia carefully helped the boy up, and only then could she see his face clearly.

It was a lovely face, even though the messy hair covered his full forehead, it could not hide his deep eye sockets. The curved eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and the straight nose bridge was like a mountain peak.

But his lips were pale and dry due to excessive blood loss, making his skin look more like pure white silk.

He is so handsome at such a young age. One can imagine how many girls he will charm when he grows up!

Mingjia took out a bottle of red medicine from her backpack, pried open the boy's mouth, and poured the medicine in.

Because the boy had lost consciousness, some of the red medicine inevitably flowed down from the corners of his lips, which made him look like he was holding a blooming flower in his mouth.

"It's really confusing." Mingjia whispered, and had to resign herself to her fate and took out another red pill from her backpack and fed it to him.

After taking two red pills, the boy's eyeballs finally began to move.

"Hey! Wake up!" Mingjia patted the boy's arm.

The boy frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

The moon in the sky and the fiery red surrounding him reflected in his eyes like a pair of beautiful gems.

"You...you saved me?" The boy was emotionally stable, maintaining good aristocratic elegance.

Mingjia said, "I just gave you medicine to heal your wounds."

The boy looked at Mingjia calmly and politely gave her the salute of a noble gentleman.

"Thank you, ma'am. I am Lucas from the Droy family of the End Empire."

"bright."

The two exchanged names, and Lucas finally had the strength to get up from the ground, "Ming, let's get out of here!"

"Did you escape from the castle?" Mingjia didn't want to go with Lucas, but wanted to find out the news directly.

Lucas looked back at the castle, his eyes filled with awe and fear, "Yes! Our emperor is crazy!"

"A few years ago, our emperor's personality changed drastically. He became violent and bloody. All the ministers who disobeyed him were killed by him! Moreover, he liked to use human blood to water this piece of Iloti flower!"

At this point, Lucas could hardly hide his disgust and rejection of the emperor.

"Yiluotihua?" Mingjia heard the name for the first time and repeated it subconsciously.

The broken hair covered Lucas' eyes. "Yiluoti is its transliteration. In the common language of the mainland, it means - the flower of sin!"

"This flower only grows in burial grounds. In the End Empire, it is also called the flower of ominousness."

"Ming!" Lucas suddenly looked at Mingjia, "We must leave here quickly! If the emperor wakes up, we will sleep forever in Yiluoti!"

"Go ahead, my destination is here." Mingjia understood Lucas' fear, but she would not leave.

Lucas said in disbelief, "You're crazy! I clearly told you it's dangerous here! You'll die!"

"If you want to thank me, then tell me how you escaped. You don't have to say anything else." Mingjia saved Lucas because she thought that if he knew the situation of the castle, it would be helpful for her to sneak into the castle and find Chiyan.

"Are you looking for someone important?" Lucas asked in a low voice.

Mingjia nodded, "A very important person."

"Do we have to go?" Lucas confirmed again, even with a hint of pleading and hope in his eyes.

Mingjia's eyes were bright and unwavering.

Lucas understood, "In that case, I'll lead the way for you."

Mingjia's hand quietly touched the sword, "Lead me the way? Didn't you just escape from the castle? You just need to tell me the structure and mechanisms of the castle, and I can do the rest myself."

"I'm sorry, I lied to you." Lucas lowered his head. "I'm actually the child of the castle's butler... I really hate castles! I hate emperors! I have never seen the outside world! I just want to live a different life... It's too depressing here..."

He's like a kid who's done something wrong.

"You saved me. In return, I will take you to the castle and find the person who is very important to you."

Lucas mustered up his courage, "I'll have another chance to escape later!"

Mingjia didn't expect that by chance, she found a guide who knew the castle very well.

"You won't be punished when you go back, right?" Mingjia asked again. She didn't want the boy to get hurt because of her.

"I told you I ran away secretly, my father won't know!" Lucas was full of confidence.

"Only after we pass through this sea of ​​Iloti flowers can we enter the ancient castle. However, there is no passage through this sea of ​​flowers, so we can only bravely pass through it. You see, the wounds on my body were cut by these sharp thorns."

Mingjia was a little skeptical, "There's no side road or something? Is this the only way you can go shopping?"

"Our daily necessities will be delivered by the alchemist's birds. And the emperor himself can fly. Don't worry, with my understanding of the castle, as long as we pass through this sea of ​​flowers, all the traps will not be a problem!"

If there were other ways, he wouldn't insist on going through the hardship.

"Okay." Mingjia continued, "But even though I can get through, your body won't be able to support you to go through it again, right?"

Lucas's face froze, obviously he hadn't expected this.

"Oops! Why didn't I think of that!"

Mingjia saw his annoyed look and wanted to tease him.

"In that case, I'll go to the castle by myself. You should leave here!"

"No! I won't go back on my word!" Lucas stroked his chin, trying to think of a solution.

Mingjia finally stopped talking, after all, she didn't dare to waste time.

"I have some equipment here, you can put it on. No matter how sharp this spike is, it can't compare to a sword, right?"

Unlike the simple cloth armor she was wearing just now, the equipment she took out this time was all made of metal.

This player must be a thoughtful girl who has prepared for all conceivable situations.

With the support of their equipment, Mingjia and Lucas moved among the Iloti flowers without much difficulty.

This sea of ​​flowers was even larger than Mingjia had imagined. It took a full hour just to cross the sea of ​​flowers.

The night was deeper.

The ancient castle was right in front of Mingjia, but he didn't see a single guard.

The dark castle stands alone.

"You smell like flowers all over your body." Lucas didn't seem to like the smell and frowned uncomfortably. "Come on, Ming. I'll take you into the castle from the back door."

"Also..." Lucas warned, "There are a lot of traps here, you must be careful!"

As he spoke, Lucas looked at Mingjia meaningfully.
