I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 397
With this kick, Brother Chao in the mirror also disappeared at the same time.

"It doesn't look like the setting of 'The Man in the Mirror'...huh?"

Duan Chao muttered something, and suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon.

That is, there is a passage behind the planned mirror!

"what!"

Duan Chao snapped his fingers and got in without saying a word.

He is skilled and bold, and he will not be afraid even if there are any traps in front of him-not to mention that with his character, if he discovers such a secret path and does not explore it carefully, then he is not Duan Chao.

The corridor behind the mirror is narrow and long, and it bends irregularly. Duan Chao moved forward all the way, left and right, up and down, forward and backward—this was a space walk on a whim.

Of course, he did not forget to add BGM to himself:

"Look ahead - black (hé) holes!
It must be the den of the thief (zé)!
Wait for me to catch up and kill him-clean-clean! ! ! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation not far in front of him, followed by a rushing sound, exactly the same as what Duan Chao heard in front of the mirror just now, but it was much clearer and quicker.

"Where is the evildoer?!"

Having already come here, how can Duan Chao allow this evil thing to escape from under his nose?Wouldn't it make Kelly and the others laugh their teeth out if they said it?
So Duan Chao shouted, speeded up, and rushed forward in one stride.

Anyway, there is no fork in this corridor, and at my own speed, I don't expect it to go far.

Sure enough, just after Duan Chao gave himself a large value of acceleration, he approached the opponent.

Hmm, it looks like an anthropomorphic monster.

"Where to go, eat my old section!"

Duan Chao yelled again, and was about to take out his big stick, when he heard a voice: "No!"

The voice was anxious and seductive, but she was still a banshee?
"what?"

Duan Chao could barely stop, picked up the other party and brought it up to him for a closer look, then asked in surprise, "How-are-you? Why are you?"

……

……

5 minute later.

In Duan Chao's house, Skadi, the queen of the Principality of Belle Mare, who was disheveled and still in shock, was sitting on the bed and weeping softly. Supreme Leader of the Principality.

Make no mistake, nothing happened between these two.

Duan Chao is not the kind of person who is not good enough to force girls. On the other hand, he is not enough to be a 5-minute quick shooter.

The Queen's appearance was all because of being frightened by him, and Duan Chao carried her all the way through that corridor. He didn't know how to pity her, so it was normal for her clothes to be cut a few times.

"I said - Her Majesty the Queen, why are you here without sleeping so late at night?"

Now that he knew that the other party was Skadi, Duan Chao naturally understood that the sound he heard before was the sound of the Queen's boots stepping on the corridor.

He could still hear it through the winding and narrow road, it can only be said that his hearing is too abnormal.

"Feel sorry……"

Skadi deserves to be Skadi. When Duan Chao opened her mouth, she immediately recovered her usual unchanging elegance, tidied her clothes a little, and said to Duan Chao: "I didn't expect this secret passage It will come here."

She stood up from the bed as she spoke, and explained calmly, "This escape route was originally built when the relationship between the Principality and the Empire was tense. At that time, the palace designer kept the worst plan in the bedroom. this passage."

Looking directly into Duan Chao's eyes, Skadi continued: "But I don't know where the entrance of this passage is, and I don't know where it leads to—because it was prepared by my husband at first, until he Death did not tell me about it.

In fact, this matter was told to me by the apprentice of the designer after I inherited the throne—but he only knew about this matter, and did not know the entrance and whereabouts of the escape passage. "

Skadi paused at this point. In fact, the court designer was secretly executed after he had just designed the residence of Skadi's husband, who was then the Crown Prince of the Duke.

Although it is normal for this kind of thing to happen in the royal family, Skadi is instinctively unwilling to tell Duan Chao about it, and only she knows why deep down in her heart.

Of course, she herself does not agree with this kind of behavior - she will not do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary.

In order to compensate the designer, she also greatly praised the apprentice named Sheng Wutian, and kept him safe for the rest of his life within the scope of her ability.

Hearing this, Duan Chao suddenly realized, and then asked suspiciously, "Since you don't know the entrance, how did you get here?"

That's the crux of the matter, okay?
Even if you are the Queen's girl, you can never get into that trick in front of me, Duan Chao!This kind of trick is left over from when I sprayed ten of them on the forum!You are far from class!

Skadi was silent for a moment, and said helplessly, "Adventurer, you may not believe it when you say it. I don't know why tonight. I always feel a little restless and can't sleep..."

"Then you walked around in the bedroom, and finally found the entrance to the secret passage by coincidence, and then you became curious and walked in alone?"

Duan Chao interrupted suddenly.

"How do you know?" Skadi's eyes widened in surprise, she looked at Duan Chao, and said in disbelief, "Could it be...you've been watching me..."

"Hey, you must be thinking too much, but I met you in the secret passage!"

Duan Chao said dissatisfied.

Who do you take brother as?Do I look like the kind of guy who peeks at a girls' dorm room?
"Sorry, adventurer, I was rude..." Skadi also reacted, his face flushed immediately, "But that's what happened at the time... I don't know why that secret passage happened to lead to Adventurer, you are here..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. If it weren't for Duan Chao's abnormal hearing, she might not even be able to hear clearly.

"Ha ha."

Seeing Duan Chao's inexplicable laughter, Queen Skadi looked at her puzzled, "Adventurer, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you understand your current situation?

On such a night, a weak woman like you discovered this secret passage by coincidence, and then led to my bedroom by coincidence... Lonely man and widow, dry wood and fire, in the middle of the night...

hey hey hey..."

Duan Chao stood up suddenly, took a step forward, and slowly approached the Queen of the Principality while talking, looking down at her with a wretched smile.
