King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 804: The Stubborn Guard
"Wow!"

The only sound that could be heard on the lonely coast was the sound of waves crashing, but soon, people began to gather here.

"Star!"

"what--"

"Don't look directly at the sun!"

On the shore, Carter was washing Lenore's red eyes with sea water. As soon as the little girl came ashore, she stared at the cloudless sky.

Therefore, when she looked directly at the sun, she immediately felt the pain of not being able to open her eyes.

"The sun... is this the sun?! It looks as blinding as if it were the magic of a bad wizard!"

"What the hell is that?" The young master couldn't help scratching his head when he heard Lenore's mumbling. The world of children is really hard to understand.

"The guard's strong flashlight." Carter explained briefly, then rubbed Lenore's head:
"Remember not to look directly at the sun in the future, otherwise your eyes will not be able to bear it."

"Got it!" Lenore nodded excitedly. Although the sun gave her a "warning" at the beginning, it still couldn't dampen her excitement.

Everything in front of her was completely different from Petersburg. There were no towering steel walls here, and the colors around were as brilliant as in storybooks. She couldn't wait to run out and take a look.

But what made her a little disappointed was that the book seemed to say that when the sun was out, the stars would shyly hide.

"Brother Carter, when will the stars come out?"

"Well...it'll take about twice the time of Ms. Penny's class."

Carter looked at the sky. If he guessed correctly, it should be morning.

It took them a whole night to escape from Melotiye Petersburg.

Fortunately, the sight on the shore was amazing enough, otherwise Lenore would have probably dozed off.

"Ah? Will it take so long?" Linore couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she heard that. It would take such a long time to see the stars she had been longing for.

"It will be very fast. The time for class and the time for play are different. You will understand it when you learn to read the clock."

Carter saw at a glance the biggest source of Lenore's frustration - this girl must have felt that the class was too long and was bringing the physical sensations of the class into the present.

"Okay, where should we go now?" Lenore quickly calmed down after hearing that.

She tilted her head and saw a large object standing upright in the distance that looked like a green lollipop, which made her curious;
Turning back again, she saw several round, hairy fish-like creatures lying on the distant shore, and she wanted to touch them;
Looking back, she could vaguely see something floating on the sea. Lenore recognized it. It was a submarine, but how did it get to the surface?
The scene before her was dizzying. Almost everything was beyond Lenore's imagination, leaving her deeply entangled.

The desire to explore in Lenore's eyes naturally did not escape Carter's eyes, but now was not the time to explore.

"Come on, Lenore, let's go to the foothills in the southwest corner. Your relatives are there."

Carter turned and faced the southwest corner, which was hidden by lush trees and flowers and seemed uninhabited.

But he knew that in the foothills where the gentle breeze blew and the meadows full of flowers, there was the "home" that Lenore should go to.

"Is it...Grandpa?" Lenore's voice became softer, with some anticipation and some fear.

Her mother had told her about her life experience before, but at that time all of this was blocked by the high walls of Petersburg, leaving Lenore with a vague and unreal feeling.

Now the high walls were gone, the illusory veil was torn to pieces, and the grandfather who only existed in words was about to appear before her, making her feel a little at a loss.

"Lenore, your grandpa is a very good man. You will like him when you meet him."

Carter took Lenore's hand and led him towards the foothills in the southwest corner.

But at this moment, his heart suddenly tightened.

"and many more!"

"Kakaka!"

The surrounding bushes shook, and then a large number of security devices emerged from them.

Seeing this, Carter reacted instantly - they were surrounded without knowing when.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this what you have been preparing for after procrastinating for so long?" Patting Carter's shoulder, the young master looked towards a rock.

"Have you been discovered? You guys, the criminals who escaped, are really not simple."

The guard behind the rock gave up the idea of ​​hiding when he saw that he had been discovered. He walked out from behind the huge rock, followed by several guard mechanisms that kept turning with springs.

"Uh... why can a guard drive so many guards?" Yu Jin looked around. Wow, there were dozens of them, both openly and secretly. Let's not talk about whether a guard can drive so many guards. Even if he can, is it that serious?

There were only four of them, and two of them were just little kids.

"Theoretically, it's impossible. He may have mobilized these security agencies without authorization."

Yu Jin and Carter were whispering, but the guards in the distance naturally couldn't hear them. He stretched out his hand and shouted loudly:
"You bunch of prisoners, why don't you surrender quickly? This way your sentences won't be extended too much!"

"Criminal? Do you have any evidence, brother?"

In response to the guard's scolding, Yu Jin scratched his ears. What prisoner? He is not one!

Moreover, he is not the only one like this.

"Evidence? Of course I have it! I remember the serial number of the guy wearing a scarf next to you."

The guard looked prepared when he heard this. He took out the list, tore off the page with the young master in it and threw it over.

Picking up the ball of paper on the ground, Yu Jin spread it out and saw that it was a portrait of the young master.

"Our only weakness is you." Seeing this, Yu Jin couldn't help but poke the young master.

"What do you mean I'm the only flaw?" The young master was indignant. He had contributed a lot along the way.

And could it be his fault if he was discovered? He even closed the iron door of the crystal cluster mine before leaving.

Yu Jin didn't argue with the young master anymore. He threw the paper ball back and spread his hands.

"So? Just because he's a criminal doesn't mean we are too. We're just passing through."

"Haha, do you believe what you said? It's a poor way of saying you can get away with it."

"Why don't you believe it? Can you find out the names of the other people?"

After saying this, he folded his arms confidently and watched the guard flipping through the list.

The sound of turning pages became faster and faster, and more and more beads of sweat appeared on the guard's head.

"How is it? You can't find our names, right?"

"Let's make a compromise. You take him away and let us go."

"Hey, hey, hey! How come you betrayed your companions without any hesitation?"

The young master couldn't help but complain when he saw Yu Jin selling him out so smoothly.

In the distance, the guard heard Yu Jin's proposal. He slammed the list in his hand and said firmly:

"No... that's not right! Even if the number written on the paper disappears, it still doesn't change the fact that you are criminals!"

"No, you have to have evidence when you speak. Why are you speaking so righteously here when you don't have any evidence?"

Yu Jin immediately felt that there was something wrong with this man's brain.

"The footprints in the Crystal Mine cannot be faked!"

"Then is there a possibility that we were mistakenly involved or were wrongly accused? After all, you can't even produce a list of the prisoners."

"Damn it! Why do you talk so much nonsense? Just come with me and everything will be clear!"

The guard became furious and waved his hand, causing the security forces around him to become restless.

"Hey! I'm patiently talking to you and you're still not happy?"

"Lenore!"

"what?"

Lenore, who was hiding behind Carter, looked at Ember in confusion. She didn't know why Ember called her name.

"Open your eyes and look at the stars!"

Having said that, Yu Jin once again took out the staff.
