Chapter 106 The Curator’s Bizarre Adventure (monthly ticket adds more updates)
Two days ago.
In a cave on the sea cliff.
The curator was bound by heavy shackles and handcuffs, lying helplessly at the entrance of the cave, letting the sea breeze slowly blow away the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
This place is hundreds of meters high from the ground. Even if he falls, he will only die, so he has no idea of escape.
Before deciding to come to the mysterious island, he fantasized about everything he might see, such as animals with completely upside-down shapes in the book, giant reptiles, relics of his ancestors, and unprecedented natural wonders.
But the moment he made it to the island, his illusions were shattered.
Not only was he beaten up for being a spy, but he was also imprisoned in a cave where birds often came to defecate.
Fortunately, the king of Lilliput gave him the task of plowing the fields, so although he had to work hard like an old scalper dragging a wooden plow in the fields, at least there was no deduction in the rations, and he could get a slap every time. Such a big bread.
Now he is hopeless and just wants Lango to come over and save him.
He swore that if this kid Lango appeared in front of him now, he would definitely give him a promotion and a raise in salary when he went back, security director! Dental insurance! Arrange everything for him!
If he doesn’t come, forget it. He probably won’t live long anyway.
Just when he was desperate, a faint sound of footsteps broke the silence of the cave.
"Lango. Why is it you?"
The curator turned around suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it dimmed instantly.
A woman in a court dress came in - Princess Mary.
In the past period of time, the curator had seen her frequently, and every time this woman came here, she would bring her arrogant fiancé, the general.
The two of them would humiliate him every time before leaving with satisfaction.
Even the curator, who has always been cold-faced and warm-hearted, doesn't have any good impressions of the two of them at this time. When Lango comes over, he must let him beat them both!
The curator thought so.
"You seem to care about that guy named Lango." Princess Mary's eyes were full of curiosity and she joked, "Who is he to you? Brother? Wife? Son?"
"He is my most loyal employee!"
There was displeasure in the curator's tone, "You guys, just keep your eyes open and watch carefully. When Lango comes over, he will definitely deal with you!"
"hehe."
Faced with the curator's indignation, Princess Mary just chuckled, and then her eyes became complicated and profound, "If I said that I came here this time to help you escape from prison, would you dare?"
When the curator heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. He did not rush to agree, but asked: "Why?"
Princess Mary looked at the sky and ocean outside the cave, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Do you remember that General Edward?"
"I'll never forget it!" the curator gritted his teeth.
Princess Mary took a deep breath and continued: "Three generations of his ancestors have been commanders of the kingdom's army. The entire military power of the Lilliput Kingdom is in his hands. Even his father sometimes has to listen to his words. "
"Wait a minute, are you saying that the position of general in your kingdom is still hereditary?" The curator couldn't help but complain.
"Yes." Princess Mary nodded: "Although we all know that there is a problem with this policy, it has been so many years and there is no way to change it. Because of this, Edward's power has reached an astonishing level. In my opinion, When he was just ten years old, he asked my father to marry me from that day on."
She sighed softly, with a trace of bitterness and indignation flashing in her eyes, "I have never left the palace again. The occasional outing is just an accessory for Edward to show off."
The curator shrugged upon hearing this. When he was dragged to the palace for the first time to meet the King of Lilliput, he discovered that there was something wrong with the country's power structure.
"So. You want to let me go and then take revenge on your husband?" the curator asked tentatively.
"I'm not letting you go!" Princess Mary said, taking out a key from her pocket, and then opened the iron cage holding the curator's shackle key.
She pointed at the key in the cage and said seriously: "You took me with you! I want to leave Edward and leave Lilliput! I want to go to the country where you live!"
The curator was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him, as a princess of a country, could make such a decision.
"What?" Princess Mary said with an uneasy expression: "Don't you dare?"
For this operation, she spent a lot of energy using threats and inducements. If the giant below was unwilling to take her to escape, all her efforts would be in vain.
"You dare to sacrifice everything to save me, so why should I hesitate?"
After the words fell, the curator tore open the iron cage, took out the key to the shackles inside, quickly untied the shackles on his body, and asked Princess Mary urgently: "How should we avoid the guards outside?"
"They have been bribed by me, just go out." Princess Mary answered confidently.
"OK."
A hole in the back of the prison.
Although his body was slightly stiff due to long-term imprisonment, the curator still bent down and climbed out of the hole that was too narrow for him.
When they appeared outside the entrance of the cave, the jailers on both sides who were supposed to be waiting for them seemed to turn a blind eye and turned away one after another.
An uncontrollable joy surged in the curator's heart. He took big steps without hesitation and ran towards the freedom outside the cave.
The prison was near a sea cliff and was inaccessible. He sprinted with all his strength, hoping to escape further before being discovered. Of course, he did not forget Princess Mary. After holding her in his palm, he immediately ran out.
Princess Mary also eagerly explained to the curator: "We need to go around this cliff. Below is the dark forest, a forbidden area that no one dares to set foot on the island. But we don't take that road and go directly to the seaside. There is a ship there. The abandoned wooden boats were left behind by the giants of the past, and we can sail them out to sea!”
When the curator heard this, he stopped suddenly and looked at her in disbelief: "Did you just say that we rowed a wooden boat out to sea?"
Princess Mary nodded, her eyes shining with innocence and determination: "Yes, there must be other small islands in the sea anyway, why don't we go up to replenish them when the time comes."
"."
The curator finally saw that this princess was a complete idealist. If she went to sea like this, the two of them would die of thirst on the ship within a few days.
According to his idea, he should find a place to hide first, and then put out some identification signs that only he, Rango Jones and others knew, and wait for rescue.
But just as he was thinking, a bell suddenly rang in the distant city.
When the first bell sounded, Princess Mary looked solemn: "Some other country has invaded us!"
When the second sound sounded, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "The enemy has been repulsed."
At the third call, she shook her head and said with a smile: "The kingdom is going to hold a celebration banquet, so hurry up and leave. This is our best chance to escape."
However, the bell did not stop. Instead, it rang four times in succession. Princess Mary's face instantly turned pale and she shouted in horror: "The palace is on fire, and my father is still in the palace!"
"."
After being silent for a while, the curator said speechlessly: "Can't you develop a more effective alarm system?"
Princess Mary had no time to pay attention to his words. Her mind was completely swallowed up by the thick smoke billowing over the palace in the distance. Her voice trembled: "Father. Father is still inside."
Seeing her sad expression, the curator smiled helplessly, and then said decisively: "Let's go, let's put out the fire."
Princess Mary was stunned when she heard this: "But...don't you want to escape?"
The curator shook his head and said sincerely: "I really want to, but I don't want to see your father die in a fire like this, and then you will live with guilt and regret for the rest of your life."
After saying that, under the surprised gaze of Princess Mary, the curator ran towards the palace in strides.
At this time, the city seemed to be plunged into a hell of fire.
Rockets left behind by the enemy during their invasion ignited many places. Among them, the fire in the palace was particularly fierce and was on the verge of getting out of control.
The king was standing on the top of a building, looking at the approaching flames. Although he was terrified in his heart, he still maintained the dignity of the king on the outside.
He solemnly shouted "Long live Lilliput" to the people watching below, preparing to meet the fate of the end.
At this moment of despair, an unprecedented loud noise broke the tranquility, and everyone was shocked to find that it was the imprisoned giant running towards the palace.
The curator had no time to pay attention to the gazes of these people. At this moment, in front of him, a building as high as his knees was burning with a raging fire.
Although soldiers the size of fingers all around were hurriedly carrying buckets to put out the fire, the amount of water they could provide was too little compared to the intensity of the fire, and they were unable to contain the fire at all.
"Think of a way, father!" Princess Mary's shout penetrated the noise and reached the king's ears.
The king over there also looked at this side. Although he was surprised why his daughter stayed with the giant, at this moment, he was more eager for survival.
He reluctantly waved to his daughter, a faint hope shining in his eyes.
The next scene left everyone stunned.
The giant actually took off his leather shoes, used it as a container, scooped up water from the moat, and then poured it accurately onto the fire source of the palace.
After repeating this process several times, the seemingly unquenchable fire was miraculously extinguished.
The king regained his life. In his excitement, he not only pardoned all the charges against the curator on the spot, but also prepared to grant him a title.
Amidst the cheers of the people, the curator was a little embarrassed and prepared to say something modest, but he saw Princess Mary jumping from the palm of her hand to his shoulder, gently pressing a kiss on his cheek, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and love. :
"Thank you, you are my hero!"
"."
Feeling the woman's sweet kiss, the curator felt as if his heart had been hit. He had never experienced such tenderness and sweetness in the past years.
That's it, for the next two days.
He enjoyed unprecedented dignity and comfort in Lilliput, and Princess Mary's company made him forget all his worries.
But one night, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Seeing that his prisoner turned out to be a hero who saved the king, and even had sex with his fiancée, General Edward's jealousy and ambition finally broke out.
He launched a coup, held the king hostage, and intended to kill Princess Mary and the curator.
So there is now a scene of them running away wildly.
If you have a monthly ticket, I hope you can support it.
