This system is outrageous.

The celebration began in the afternoon, with performers starting from the palace and heading towards the main streets of the city, surrounded by NPCs watching along the way.

After more than a decade of repeated changes of power, people have not seen such a peaceful and beautiful event for a long time.

The four of them chose a tall building from which they could see both the situation inside the palace and the streets outside the palace.

"This location is good, but the wind is a bit strong today."

Ye Fei tucked her scattered hair behind her ears for the nth time. With her current eyesight, she couldn't see what was happening inside the palace. Even with the glasses Ling Rui gave her, she could only barely see a human figure moving.

Seeing that Ye Fei was in a bad mood, Eleven didn't care at first, until it got dark and Ye Fei's vision became more restricted, Eleven finally discovered the problem.

"You can't see what they are doing at all. They just sit there for the whole afternoon. Oh my god, I suddenly feel a little sorry for them."

Ye Fei looked at Eleven with a sad face. "You finally thought of it, but it's too late. I have to work hard to save money and buy a good pair of glasses, or a skill that can see far away."

Changfeng and Ling Rui then remembered that Ye Fei's physique made it impossible for him to see things that far away, and they turned their heads away in embarrassment.

"Although I can't see clearly, I can roughly guess that the only ones who are happy about today's performance are the NPCs. They have finally had such a peaceful life. So, their sacrifice is more or less worthwhile."

As the sky gradually darkened, the celebration reached the most lively part, the fireworks display. Watching the strings of shaped fireworks rise into the sky, Changfeng's confusion seemed to have finally been answered.

"I think I know what this is, but I still need to confirm it."

The three of them turned their heads to look over, and Changfeng pointed at the fireworks exploding in the sky.

"Look at this pattern. Does it look like a magic array? This should be the magic array that activates the ground array."

Although Ye Fei couldn't understand it, this shape did look like some kind of magic circle.

"Is this something that only exists in this small world? Could it be that the crows taught it to the NPCs?"

"This doesn't need to be passed on by the crows. This kind of basic formation can be derived by any small world of immortal cultivation. It's just that ordinary small worlds will regard this as a forbidden technique. But the male protagonist Xuan Su here has turned evil, so it's hard to say."

"So who did the protagonist learn this forbidden technique of sacrifice from? He has never had the opportunity to come into contact with this type of magic before."

Ye Fei has read the plot several times, and the content is really limited.

"From what we can see now, it should be the masked man. His identity will only be revealed after the plot is halfway through, so it is still kept secret now."

Although the four of them had seen some information from the mission report, they still couldn't see the specific content. And now the four of them were not even halfway through the plot, so the plot they could see was also very limited.

"The fireworks are over, the formation should have been activated. We need to get closer to see how the NPCs react."

Ling Rui had already taken a picture of the fireworks formation and was ready to return to the system's small world to find some classics to study it carefully.

The four of them came to a rooftop somewhere in the palace. The banquet of the NPCs below had already begun. The palace maids brought out plates of seemingly exquisite food, but in Ye Fei's eyes, they were not as sweet as the bread in her hand.

"It's another one of those things that looks good but doesn't work. Who on earth developed those dishes?"

"Look, the new king has appeared."

Eleven pulled Ye Fei and pointed at a figure. Ye Fei squinted at Eleven. "I'm blind and can't see clearly."

Eleven sighed, and a flash of light appeared on the hand that was holding Ye Fei. Ye Fei felt that his vision and hearing were enhanced. Not only could he see the man walking slowly in the distance, he could even hear the conversations of the NPCs in the field clearly.

"Don't be too surprised, I just let you try out my ability." Eleven smiled mysteriously.

Ye Fei was too lazy to complain to him, and seized the opportunity to try to find the male protagonist Xuan Su in the crowd.

"Why are you looking for Xuan Su? He should be hiding in the back and paying attention to the effect of the formation at any time. He won't appear here."

Ye Fei frowned slightly. How could he know what she was thinking? Could he read her mind?

"I can't read your mind, but don't forget that you are using my skills through the link now, so I can naturally read your thoughts."

Ye Fei widened his eyes, his expression distorted.

"Is this some kind of thought link? Then don't read my memory randomly."

Eleven smiled and shook his head as if he had heard a huge joke.

"I'm not a pervert, why would I want to read your secrets? You should take this opportunity to experience this feeling of being sharp-eyed and sharp-eared more often."

The performance was coming to an end, and many jugglers walked down from the stage, leaving only a few musicians and dancers.

In places where lights cannot reach, a team of people are moving quietly and covertly. The craftsmen who are building the stage and the artists who have just finished their performance are all their targets.

Ye Fei carefully identified the NPCs that had been controlled, and the little princess was not among them.

"Is the princess being held in solitary confinement? After all, she is still useful to them now."

Ye Fei looked everywhere, but not only was there no sign of the little princess, but even the masked man and the male protagonist were nowhere to be seen.

"It seems that things are almost done here now. The plot is developing very steadily. We can jump to the next node."

Changfeng looked at Ye Fei. "How's it going? Have you had enough fun?"

Ye Fei's face felt slightly hot, and she nodded awkwardly in the moonlight.

"Let's go, business is urgent."

The four of them jumped off the roof, found an empty place, opened the door and walked over, arriving one month later.

At this time, everything was normal in the palace, and the captured craftsmen and jugglers had been transported out of the city from underground and were doing hard labor in the newly dug underground area.

As one of the protagonists, the little princess is now living in an underground secret room, being served by a personal maid.

Such a dark life made the little princess lose the light in her eyes.

"Princess, you should eat something, otherwise the great wizard will come and give you another lecture."

The maid brought the snacks on the table, but she didn't even look at them.

"When will this life end? I used to be a juggler. Although it was hard work, at least I could see the light of day. Now I have to live in this dark underground, like a maggot in a gutter."

Ye Fei couldn't help but frown slightly. She didn't expect that this girl hadn't figured out her own identity and status yet had such a bad temper.

"The great wizard said that we should plan slowly and not be too ostentatious." Seeing that she refused to eat, the maid had no choice but to put the snacks back on the table silently.

"Grand Mage, Grand Mage, the Grand Mage always says that you are serving me, not the Grand Mage."

Ye Fei rolled her eyes and didn't want to watch any further.

"Why are you so angry, Princess? Did Xiangling say something wrong again?"

A man walked in from a side passage. Although it was the first time Ye Fei saw his face, he could still recognize his voice. He was the one wearing the full-face mask.

"He Baifan, why are you here again? Where's Xuan Su? I want to see him. Are you two really serious about restoring my country for me? What do you want to do by locking me up in this dark underground every day?"

The man immediately put on a smile. "The princess must be tired. Xiangling, please take care of her while she rests."

The moment the man raised his eyes, a puff of white smoke floated out from his hand and flew straight towards the princess' face.

The moment she came into contact with the white smoke, the originally irritable princess immediately calmed down.

The man circled around her. "An Yun, Anyun, I've treated you well, but you dare to talk to me like this. Do you know that if I say you are a princess, you are a princess, and if I say you are a slave, you are a slave at my feet."

The maidservant beside her immediately knelt down. "Master, please don't get angry and get yourself hurt."

The man put on a gentle smile and reached out to gently help the maid up.

"Xiangling, you have worked hard. When I ascend the throne, you will be the most favored concubine by my side."

The maid named Xiangling turned her head to glance at the princess who was standing blankly on the side.

"Look at what she's doing. If it wasn't for the sake of legitimacy, I wouldn't even look at her. But you must have been scolded a lot during the time you've been serving her."

Xiangling shook her head shyly. "For the sake of the leader's great cause, everything is worth it."

The man laughed, took Xiangling in his arms and sat down beside the princess' bed.

"An Yun, come and change my clothes."

There was no expression on the princess's dull face as she walked over slowly.
