When it was exactly 9 o'clock, Meiko Ando immediately jumped up and jumped onto the wall at an extremely fast speed. She used the force from the top of the wall to swing herself, changed direction and landed on the other side of the wall.
The whole process took only two seconds. Then she turned around to look at the guard who was facing away from her and was about to change shifts. She used the tip of her sword to gain leverage from the ground and rushed straight into the back garden.
Six seconds left... five seconds... two seconds...
She made an estimate in her mind and walked through the flowers with her head down all the time. The moment she left the back garden gate, she used the force to accelerate and rushed into the palace in one fell swoop.
Ando Meiko turned and hid in the shadows. As the last second passed, the two guards who had just arrived at their posts looked at each other one after another. One of them said, "Did you feel anything just now?"
"No, maybe you were confused and didn't see it right? This is the royal palace of Potter Country. There are advanced magic scanning devices in the palace. Anyone using magic inside will trigger the alarm. Not to mention people, even flies can't get in. Don't worry."
"That's true." The two guards joked with each other and laughed.
Meiko Ando, who was hiding behind, patted her chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, she did not leave first, otherwise she would not have obtained such important information.
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 69: My Sister Must Be an Angel
"Can't we use magic in the palace? It would be a bit tricky if we encounter special circumstances."
Ando Meiko canceled the strengthening magic and took a step into the palace. Suddenly, she realized that her headphones were still connected and she broke out in a cold sweat.
However, the so-called magic detection alarm did not activate, which made Meiko Ando a little confused, but she quickly found out the reason.
That is, the magic thread connecting the earphones only has the function of communication. Because it is too weak and small, it is ignored by the magic scanning system.
The guards inside the palace were not as strict as those outside. Every once in a while, maids would be seen walking and chatting in the corridor while doing cleaning work.
But the guards... She had been wandering around the palace for almost ten minutes, but still hadn't seen any trace of a guard, which made her doubt whether this was actually the royal palace.
Meiko Ando walked neither slowly nor slowly. She continued moving aimlessly while being on guard against people who might appear at any time.
If she could use the radar, she could grasp the situation in the entire palace in an instant. Not to mention finding a library, she could even clearly see what the people in each room were doing through the three-dimensional image.
Although this special detection magic was just created by her on a whim, it is very useful. If the range could be a little larger, it could reach the terrifying ten kilometers of Nangong Yao's sound field and become invincible.
Of course, there is no perfection in this world. There are gains and losses. It is a great blessing to be able to create such practical detection magic. There is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient distance.
Just like the dragon-level void beasts, their physique only allows them to choose one of the three attributes of strength, speed, and defense. The remaining shortcomings can be compensated by the prototype field.
Ando Meiko naturally found the most appropriate way to make up for the problem of insufficient magic detection distance, which is to become stronger. If she can be promoted to the super level, the range of the slacking radar can at least double.
However, no matter how much you think about it, it is useless at this moment, because there is a magic device that scans magic power in this palace. Although the weak magic power of the headphones will not trigger it, who can be sure that the detection magic will not?
So she couldn't find the direction of the library and could only wander around aimlessly.
"Should we catch someone and question him?" Meiko Ando sighed helplessly.
The palace where the royal family lived was huge, with countless rooms inside, and no names were written on each room. Therefore, even if one opened a room one by one, it would take at least a day to look inside, and she definitely could not afford such a long time.
Every time she came to a room, she would open it and take a look, but she had opened more than a dozen rooms along the way and found nothing in them.
Many of them are simply decorated with only a bed, a table and a chair, making them look like guest rooms.
It was not until she reached the second floor and walked to the middle of the corridor that she turned her head and saw a room decorated ornately, as if afraid that the visitors would not know the luxury of the people inside.
Although Meiko Anten knew very well that this was built by the royal family to show off their status, if someone with bad intentions saw this door, they would definitely go in and kidnap the people inside.
In order not to alert the enemy, Anten Meiko had actually given up on entering and planned to leave, but she heard a faint sobbing sound as she passed by.
Although she knew it was a bad time to do so, out of curiosity, Anten Meiko still gently pushed the door open. The sound of sobbing came out through the crack of the door, and she could clearly hear that it was the tender voice of a little girl.
After checking that there was no one around, Meiko Anten quickly rushed in and closed the door. She walked in and glanced around the room.
The room is very spacious and beautifully decorated, with pink ribbons dotted everywhere. Various exquisitely crafted animal dolls can be seen in every corner of the room.
The biggest thing in this room is undoubtedly the bed that is big enough to accommodate more than a dozen people sleeping flat on their backs. A little girl who is probably only seven or eight years old is curled up on the bed crying.
She didn't seem to notice Anten Meiko's arrival and was still in her own world. No one knew why she was alone in the room on such a day, nor did she know what she was crying about.
What she hated most was seeing children crying in front of her. Now that she noticed it, she had no intention of letting it go.
Meiko Anten straightened her clothes a bit, walked to the bedside with light steps, and said with a smile as gentle as possible, "Which cute little girl is crying?"
When the little girl heard this voice, she was stunned. She raised her head and opened her big tearful eyes, looking at Anten Meiko with curiosity and surprise.
"Sister, who are you? How did you get in?" the little girl asked, her voice intermittent, obviously still in the aftermath of crying.
“I am…I am…”
Before An Teng Meizi could answer, the little girl had already stretched out her finger and said softly, "I know, sister, you must be an angel, right?"
"Angel?" An Teng Meizi looked at the little girl with a strange look in her eyes. "Why do you think so?"
"Because my mother said I was safe in my room and no one could come in except angels and dragons. And my sister doesn't look like a dragon, so she must be an angel."
Being praised like this, Anten Meiko's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. The little girl stopped crying. She jumped off the bed excitedly, found a book from the ground and held it in front of Anten Meiko.
This is a fairy tale book, and the page the little girl turned to was an image of a young angel with wings.
However, since she was mistaken for an angel, Anten Meiko naturally would not ruin the little girl's fun, so she slowly spread her phoenix wings in front of her.
"Wings! Sister, you really are an angel! But..." After jumping around excitedly for a while, the little girl tilted her head in confusion, "Angel sister, why aren't your wings white?"
"Ahem." Anten Meiko explained after a few dry gasps, "Every angel is different. I'm a little special than the others, so my wings are this color."
"Yeah, yeah, Angel Sister, can you fly? Can you take me flying?"
She spoke a little louder and was overheard by a passing maid, who knocked on the door and asked what was going on inside.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Did something happen inside?"
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 70: I Like Reading Fairy Tales
"No, nothing's wrong." Although the little girl had clearly stated that she was safe and sound, the maid outside pushed the door open and walked in without asking.
After finding that there was indeed nothing wrong inside, he said hello to the little girl, then turned around and left the room and closed the door.
Ando Meiko did not leave. After noticing the maid's question, she hid under the bed with the help of the little girl.
But at this moment, her brain was working at high speed, and she was constantly thinking.
The maid outside called the little girl "Your Highness" when questioning her, which was enough to show that the little girl's identity was not simple. It was very likely that she was the daughter of the King of Potter, Her Highness the Princess of a country.
But how could a princess of a country be locked in a room on such an important day as the prince's coming-of-age ceremony, and the maids even seemed very disrespectful to her?
Could there be any reason for this?
Ando Meiko was still thinking, and the little girl next to her was already looking inside and calling out: "Angel sister, they're gone, you can come out now."
Ando Meiko stopped thinking, crawled out from under the bed, and immediately thanked the little girl: "Thank you, little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Ronia, what's yours, sister?"
"Ando Meiko, just call me Meiko."
The little girl muttered the words, which were a little awkward for her: "As expected of an angel, even her name is so unique. But what are you doing here, Meizi-sister? Are you here to play with me?"
"Well, yes, but can you tell me why little Ronya is locked up here even though it's your brother's coming-of-age ceremony today?"
"They said I was too young to go out. I could only leave after I turned twelve and had a meeting. But my brothers and sisters had all left, so there was no one to play with me..."
All female members of the royal family have an unwritten rule that they cannot leave their residences before the age of twelve. The so-called meeting is actually a fashion show for the aristocratic girls, which also includes a step to arrange political marriages.
However, this is what Ronia thought, but Ando Meiko could tell from the attitude of the maid that the little princess must have been isolated.
After playing and chatting with the little girl for a while, the innocent little princess told her many secrets of the palace. When Ando Meiko asked to read a book, the little girl even volunteered to lead the way.
She found a maid's uniform for Ando Meiko to change into, and then
Following his lead, he swaggered out of the room and headed towards the study.
Although they met many maids along the way, when they saw that the little princess was already accompanied by someone, they put their little thoughts aside and started to busy themselves with their own things.
Along the way, Ando Meiko arrived at the library without any obstruction. The library was located at the deepest part of the first floor, which was also a place Ando Meiko happened to have never been to.
It wasn't because she didn't want to go and see, but there were too many maids coming and going there at the time. She waited for a long time but didn't get a chance, so she gave up on the room over there.
The library is very large. Although it is located on the first floor, it is over fifteen meters long. Bookshelves are placed inside, and the dazzling array of books makes Ando Meiko stunned.
How could she not feel dizzy? She was illiterate, and finding one or two useful books in this sea of books was undoubtedly harder than climbing to the sky. As she thought about this, she suddenly had an idea.
Since languages can be translated naturally in the mind through magic, can text be translated as well?
However, she quickly shook her head and rejected the idea: "No, no, what if I use magic at this time and get scanned?"
"Sister Meiko, are there any books you like to read?" Ronia asked curiously when she saw Meiko Ando standing there motionless.
"I... I like reading fairy tales..." She was still too embarrassed to tell a little girl that she couldn't read and could only guess the content by looking at the pictures.
"Really? I like it too." Ronia agreed excitedly, then she walked to one of the bookshelves as if she was familiar with the place and took out several books that were not too thick.
Seeing this, Meiko Ando stepped forward to help her hold it. After a while, they both walked to the chair and sat down.
The books that Ronia took out were all fairy tales from this world. After casually flipping through a few of them, Ando Meiko found the same fairy tale that she bought in the bookstore. It was the story of the chaotic consciousness and her daughter.
She flipped to the end of the book and pointed to the eight stone balls. "I'm looking for them," she asked. "Does little Ronya know where they are?"
"Yeah, I know." Ronia answered the question very simply, and even whispered in Ando Meiko's ear, "Sister Meiko, I've seen this content in a banned book before."
"Banned book?" Ando Meizi raised an eyebrow, a strong interest in her heart. Although she didn't want to take advantage of this innocent child, she had no other choice at the moment. "Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course you can, but sister, please don't tell anyone that Ronia took you there."
"I promise you."
"It's not enough to just agree, I want a pinky promise!"
Ando Meizi smiled and nodded, holding out her hand: "Sister will listen to you in everything."
As she made a pinky promise with Ronia, she pondered... I hadn't expected this country to even have a pinky promise. Could it be a tradition passed down by the founding hero? If so, it wouldn't be surprising.
After making a pinky promise, the two agreed to keep it a secret from each other. The naive Ronia had completely believed in this girl who came from nowhere, and actually planned to take her to the core of the palace.
They were standing in front of the innermost bookshelf. The little girl was jumping and waving her hands, looking very adorable. However, before Ando Meiko could admire her for long, her fair and tender little hand slapped one of the books, and the book sank inward as if it had been pulled out from the other end.
The entire bookshelf containing the book began to shift to the side, and an entrance suddenly appeared before the two of them. Ronia walked in front and said to Ando Meiko, "Let me lead the way. Just follow me, sister."
In another place far away from the palace, a man standing in the main seat of an open dragon carriage and waving to the people suddenly frowned silently.
He immediately signaled with his eyes to the middle-aged man riding a ground dragon beside him, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly as if he was saying something.
The middle-aged man nodded calmly after hearing this, and then the earth dragon he was riding began to slow down, and soon fell behind the end of the team. However, he did not speed up to catch up, but nodded and headed towards the palace.
But all of this was seen by Beth who was wearing a cloak.
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 71: Forbidden Books and Treasure Houses
In this secret room, there is only one book, but this book is locked with a special magic chain and placed in a barrier filled with purple lightning. It seems that just reaching out to touch it will make you dizzy and lose your way.
But Ronia did suddenly take a step forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed the lightning ball.
Seeing her actions, An Teng Meizi was frightened and quickly warned: "Ronya, be careful..."
The cute little girl turned around and smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Yazi. I've read this book many times, but I just never understood it."
Just as Ronia said, her little hand touched the purple electric ball without being affected at all. Instead, it penetrated directly into it and grabbed the forbidden book inside.
She pulled out the whole book and shook it in front of An Teng Meizi: "Look, Sister Meizi, I was right, right? Look, look, I got it."
Meiko Anten's eyes widened as she watched. She swallowed and stretched out her hand. After thinking it over, she did not do anything bad like snatching the things away. Instead, she gently rubbed Ronia's little head and kept praising her.
"Little Ronia, you are so awesome. Can you lend this book to me? I will give you some candy." As she spoke, she had already taken out a lollipop from the storage space.
This thing was not bought by Fuko or Nanako, but was brought by Meiko Anten herself because she thought it would be something to do if she felt bored during the journey.
"Of course." The little girl handed over the banned book with a bright smile on her face and took the strawberry-flavored lollipop from her hand.
A blush of shame appeared on Meiko Anten's face. Her behavior was undoubtedly no different from those bad uncles who kidnapped children.
Even though she was in the palace, little girl Ronia had never tasted such delicious food. As soon as the candy entered her mouth, she jumped for joy, constantly savoring the sweet and delicious strawberry flavor flowing in her mouth.
Meiko Anten glanced at her and couldn't help but smile with relief. After all, when Nanako first came to her house, she looked similar to the little girl.
"Nanako... Nanako..." She suddenly thought of this name and was stunned. She finally remembered part of the story about Nanako.
Nanako, the little evil god who was accidentally knocked into the subspace by Fuko and was forced to transform to deal with various tentacle incidents.
When she was about to recall more, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, forcing her to stop recalling.
Unfortunately, she still didn't remember what important thing she had forgotten, nor did she remember other people involved in this matter.
"Sister? What's wrong with you?" Ronia saw that Anten Meiko's cousin seemed to be in pain. She mumbled with a lollipop in her mouth, and her baby voice was very adorable.
