Outside the banquet hall, after the servants dealt with the remaining garbage, they sat down to rest.

Ash and the others looked at each other, tried to move their bodies, and realized that the shackles of their positions were really gone.

This plan is crude and simple - since they are restricted to their jobs, wouldn't it be better to just eliminate their jobs? If you bankrupt your company, can you still go to work?

So, Efalina and Nona performed a wonderful fight scene, turning the dinner party into a crime scene. There was no risk for them, except for the loss of reputation, which could only be compensated with money. Beldette and Sennheiser lacked everything except money.

And things developed smoothly as planned: the Queen chose to cancel the dinner directly, so the servants who were specifically responsible for the dinner naturally switched from "working" to "on standby", and temporarily achieved the freedom to slack off.

Without any job restrictions, and since they were in the palace, they could finally go to the tower to kidnap the princess.

"That's right, you guys follow me."

A distorted and hoarse voice came from behind, and Ash and others were startled. They turned around and saw a black-armored secret guard appear on the stone road behind them. It seemed that he was going to work somewhere. When he saw a group of wild workers on the side of the road, he pulled them into his work group.

Seeing that this plan full of mistakes was about to reach the end of success, but encountered this inexplicable accident at the last moment, Banji no longer cared about being exposed, and tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked: "What are we going to do? Do we need so many people?"

"Um?"

The secret guard glanced at the blue-haired servant strangely, and everyone at the funeral felt a tightness in their hearts.

However, the secret guard did not seem to doubt why the obedient servant raised questions, but took the initiative to explain: "Of course we need so many people, after all, we have to clean the new emperor's room. Let's go."

New Emperor!?

An Nan and others looked at each other - the secret guards wanted to take them to see the princess?

But according to the palace map, the direction of the secret guards is not to the tower at all. Did the Yisu royal family suddenly move the princess's position? Or did the princess need to dress up in the new room before officially ascending the throne, and appear at the dinner party as soon as the "Gospel List" was released?

In a flash, An Nan thought of many possibilities, but their bodies had already obeyed the orders of the secret guards and stood up. At this time, An Nan and others widened their eyes and looked at Ash who was still sitting on the chair with a surprised expression.

You follow your original plan.

After An Nan gave a signal with his eyes, he and the others followed the secret guards and left.

Ash didn't dare to move until their figures completely disappeared in the corner before he stood up.

He didn't know why he didn't join the secret guards. Was it because of the silver blessing "Observer's Appearance" that the secret guards didn't see him in a quick glance? Was it because of the power of the gold blessing "Listener's Sorrow" that the secret guards wanted to interrupt him from slacking off, which was considered "malicious overtime", so this idea was eliminated? Or was it because the "mysterious power" performed a meritorious service again, because Ash was sitting close to the trash can, plus there was oil and cake, so the secret guards also regarded him as trash?

No matter what, Ash was free now. He had just taken two steps when he saw Liz hiding in the corner and peeking out. The father and daughter had successfully reunited.

Compared to Ash and the others, Liz's infiltration was incredibly simple - the palace dinner would hire children to liven up the atmosphere, and they were responsible for eating and drinking to add laughter to the dinner. And because it was not considered work (it would be too weird to be controlled by the Gospel to eat, drink and have fun), Liz did not enter the "Gospel employee" state.

After the dinner ended early, the other children were sent back early. At this time, Liz found the right opportunity to sneak over to find Ash.

When Ash proposed that Liz join the action, Pantyhose and Igula undoubtedly objected, Harvey abstained, and Annan remained silent and chose to talk to Ash alone.

At that time, Ash was ready to sacrifice his looks to bribe his boss, but Annan just asked him seriously if he had made up his mind. When Ash gave a positive answer, Annan asked Ash to order Liz not to leak the secret, and then allowed Liz to join.

Ash later realized that the reason he thought Annan would object was because he thought Annan would care about Liz's safety like he did. But in fact, as long as Liz didn't ruin the plan, Annan didn't mind Liz accompanying them on the final adventure of the funeral - of course, she must have taken Ash's feelings into consideration.

Harvey shamelessly wanted Alice to work part-time as a servant and be on standby at all times, but Annan vetoed it.

Ash led Liz along the path of the palace complex stealthily, briefly explained what had just happened, and speculated: "Is your sister Nina no longer in the tower?"

Liz hesitated, looked in the hand mirror, and said nervously, "Sister Nina lived in the basement before she moved into the tower. Maybe Aunt Annan and the others are cleaning the basement now, and that room does belong to Sister Nina."

basement?

So the educational strategy of the Isu royal family is to raise children in poverty... But why does the setting of the girl in the basement sound a bit familiar?

The two of them walked in the shadows and luckily did not encounter any servants or guards along the way. After a few minutes, they saw the target tower.

At this time, Liz let out a soft cry, "There are guards standing guard at the bottom of the White Tower!"

"I'll take care of it." Ash said confidently, "I can still handle a few guards, unless--"

"Maybe it's the Sanctuary." Liz grabbed the corner of Ash's clothes tightly: "The captain of the guard is the Sanctuary magician. Tonight is so important, it is not impossible for the captain of the guard to guard it personally."

Sanctuary... Ash curled the corner of his mouth. Although he was considered a half-Sanctuary magician, he also understood how big the gap was between him and the official Sanctuary.

Not to mention defeating him, if he encounters a Sanctuary that is proficient in the Space faction, it is possible that Ash will be killed instantly. Many magic factions and Space factions can undergo qualitative changes, and the fighting methods become more treacherous and difficult to defend. For example, an example mentioned by Sword Lady: The Fist and Claw Sanctuary has a miracle move that can pull out the heart from a long distance.

Only by opening the sanctuary can one resist these irresistible miracles of space. It is too easy for a sanctuary magician to attack a non-sanctuary magician.

"I will find a way to lure the guards out, and then you can find a way to go up and bring your sister out."

"Dad, can you beat the Sanctuary?"

"Not sure."

"What are you going to do?"

Ash patted Liz's head and said, "If everything in life had to be done with certainty, I would still be in prison discussing with Igula how to make Lala Fei delicious. Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I won't fight head-on. I'll just lure the guards out and run away."

"Really?" Liz looked at him sadly: "Are you really not a fool?"

"...I remember this. I'll let An Nan spank you later."

"But if you're not a fool, why are you so nice to me?" The closer they got to their destination, the more upset Liz felt: "I'm fighting for my sister, and working hard for my wish..."

"Let's not talk about the fact that all this is An Nan's mission." Ash squatted down and gently hugged the melancholy white-haired little girl: "But I treat you well because you deserve it."

"Am I really that good? The best little girl?"

"To be honest, Leia on the list is still better than you."

Liz reached out and grabbed Ash's face, snorting, "Don't like other little girls!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm committing a crime." Ash didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just treat you as a family member. Let's go, time is running out, don't keep your sister waiting for too long."

It was strange, even though it was just some meaningless words, the haze in Liz's heart was swept away, and she even felt a little hope.

Perhaps the reason why Liz chose Ash at first sight in the Four Pillars Cult's hall was because of the indescribable sense of security he brought.

When they approached the Arran Lake, they realized that the discussion just now was a waste of time - there were no guards under the tower. There were no boats on the lake, but Ash had the sword movement miracle "Run", so he carried Liz directly over.

The white pigeons around the island in the middle of the lake looked at the uninvited guests curiously. Ash and Liz carefully came to the door of the tower. Although there were no guards outside, there must be some inside - it was impossible that no one was guarding the princess.

However, when Ash pushed open the door and prepared to kill, he saw that the tower was also empty. The eternal lamp was bright and the ground was spotless, but there was no sign of human life.

Could it be that the guards were hiding in the passage? Ash looked at the passage that spiraled up along the tower wall, trying to find traces of the enemy. At this time, he saw Liz staring at the passage leading down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Liz glanced at the hand mirror and said, "I just didn't know there was a basement in the tower..."

"In order to increase the floor area ratio, it's normal to have a basement." Ash warned, "Keep your distance from me, or a fight might break out in the passage."

Liz nodded, and the two of them climbed the tower carefully.

A minute later, Ash and Liz looked at each other outside the door of the highest room - so smooth?

Without guards, alarms or obstructions, they reached their destination easily.

"Is Sister Nina really not in the tower?" Liz murmured.

This completely defenseless state only proves that there is nothing in the tower that needs to be protected.

"If it's really on the other side, An Nan and the others will definitely find a way to get me over there. After all, I'm essential for the invalid ranking." Ash comforted, "We still have a chance."

Liz nodded and turned to look at the door. Although it was her first time here, her other sisters had been imprisoned here for many years, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Although he was sure that there was no one inside, it would be stupid not to check here, so Ash turned the door open and pushed it open.
