unreliable adventure

Salome's dance steps are full of bloody murderous intent. After dancing to a song, it is beautiful.

Francis pretended to be King Herod: "Oh, it's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Salome, I will reward you heavily. What do you want, just say it!"

"I'd like a silver plate with—"

"Ah, Salome, what a considerate and good daughter, isn't she? All you want is a silver plate, and what's in it?"

Lady Midnight, dressed as Salome, suddenly pointed at me: "His head!"

Wayne took a step across and stood in front of me, with one hand on the hilt of his sword.I was convinced that this move was very rude, so I had to break Wayne away and bite the bullet and read a few lines: "Listen, the sound that roars in the night is the sound of the angel of death flapping its wings." I'm not sure if this line is a prophet John's lines, the memory of the dead is not so good.

Francis seemed to be in a hurry, and stood up from his flower seat of King Herod: "No, Salome, that won't work, I can give you fifty peacocks with golden beaks and white feathers, and a hundred peacocks with golden beaks and white feathers." I give you all! And Caesar's emerald, through which the actor in the distance is as clear as his eyes, and the rhinoceros horn of amber—twenty pairs of pearls as bright as the full moon—" He read the lines in a hurry .

Salome's eyes suddenly sharpened: "You have sworn, I want Blackwood's head!"

"That's not the script," Francis protested.

"But, isn't that what you want? Francis, you have sworn to give me Blackwood's head!"

"When did I want his head? Heige—"

"If you can't get it, it's better to kill it." Madam Midnight smiled back.

"Ma'am, you are really—" Francis said with a dark face: "Brother Hei and the Tin Woodman are getting together, although it is a bit unreliable, but Brother Hei is a good person—"

So the plot became extremely Su, when will I be a good person again?

"It's just a play, you just need to sue a little to make the audience like it?" Madam Midnight can easily use her mind reading skills in her garden, see through my thoughts, and twirling her veil skirt to pass in front of me.

Alas, it's just a play, and it looks like it's real.My neck felt cold, and I touched the back of my neck guiltily, huh?Where is my head?I looked down again, no, my head was already on a silver plate, and there were grapes and pomegranates decorated in a wicked way.

"Fake! Fake!" A shadow surged from under Glinda's skirt, and the witch chanted the spell of retreat.

"Where did the village women come from, don't they know how to be quiet when listening to the opera?"

"Stinky actor, if you dare to attack my blackie, let me spare you!" Glinda drove the shadow to attack, and wherever the shadow passed, the false stage showed its true shape.

Madame Midnight manipulated the pure black puppet's silk thread with her fingertips, and it split into thousands of threads, attacking Glinda from all directions.Glinda stepped lightly, dodged in front of Madame Midnight, and showed her dull dagger.The two fought for a while, and the two long skirts, one black and one red, danced to the brisk beat of the drums.

Well, I'm very confident in Glinda's strength, even if it's at Madame Midnight's home court, I still have some points.

"Don't fight, it will hurt brother Hei." Francis shouted.

That's right, I'm the one with the head on the plate, if I rush to dispel the illusion at this time... I don't know what will happen.Glinda slowed down even if she was distracted, but Madame Midnight had the upper hand. What should I do?

Suddenly, Wayne rushed over with a stride, picked me up—and snatched my head.Madame Midnight pushed Glinda away with all her strength, and returned to the stage.

It's been a long time since we met, Wayne gave Mrs. Midnight a hard look, and even sang Salome's lines in a big white voice: "Okay! Blackwood! You are dead, but I am still alive, and your head is on mine. Hands! I am chaste and you seduce me, I am a knight and you reject me openly! I will kiss your mouth now, I will kiss your mouth with my teeth like fruit .Ah, your lips taste rather bitter. Is this the taste of blood? Is this what love tastes like—they say love tastes rather bitter, but so what? I kissed your mouth at last."

A silver moonlight reflected Wayne in the center of the stage, and the silver heavy armor reflected the halo, outperforming Salome's original seven-layer veil on the dark stage.

Madame Midnight was robbed of the show, and screamed angrily: "She is a beast, Salome has gone crazy! Kill her!"

A group of templar knights in silver armor appeared from the void, holding their silver shields and pressing towards Wayne. Wayne swung his long sword and swept across. .Wayne seized a gap, shouldered through the encirclement, and thrust his head back into my neck.

"It's such an unexpected ending! It's wonderful." Madam Midnight clapped her hands and smiled, putting away the upside-down dream on the stage.

"Are you okay, Blackie?"

I stood well, head still.Wayne kissed me hard again.

"Okay, the play is over," I said.

Now that I had a lot of fun acting with Mrs. Midnight, as long as I make a request in a good voice, she will surely not embarrass us again.

I complimented: "The drama in the Midnight Garden is always full of meaning. Last time, Madam specially reminded us: we should beware of the one who looks the most innocent, I really didn't expect..."

"Oh? What happened?"

"That elf man, Fierro betrayed us because of Golden Wing City's orders. We should have been on our guard earlier."

Madam Midnight raised her eyebrows in disappointment, then said lightly: "This happens often, it's not surprising."

I was still thinking about how to continue the conversation, when Madam Midnight turned around and stuck to Francis' arms again: "Handsome, it's not that I won't help you, you see, even the honest Tin Woodman has learned to sing Salome , if you continue to be so shy, I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities."

Wayne shook the magic crystal in his hand triumphantly: "I'm looking up the lines now! Hehe, I brought out a magic crystal from Golden Wing City."

I'm too lazy to look at Wayne's proud face. I think Wayne and I have really ignored Francis' feelings recently. I wanted to chat with Francis before, but unfortunately I never had a suitable opportunity.

Francis pretended to grin his teeth: "My dream, besides being a bard, should be beauties who sleep all over the world! Why do I have to imitate those heterosexuals in the south, and have two people tied to each other for life and death? Together, it's very boring."

Madam Midnight smiled softly: "You are really getting better at acting."

Francis put on a serious face again: "This is not a joke! Besides, the one I love the most, isn't it you, Madam?"

Madam Midnight smiled happily: "Okay, okay, don't waste your time, let's talk about serious business!"

Madame Midnight kindly shared with us the information about the Kingdom of the Dead: Queen Theda had assembled a large army before, and originally had no plan to invade the south, but was fully prepared for Roland's attack.Now that we have defeated Roland, apart from her serious troubles, the situation is different again.The recent deployment of troops by the Knights in the border area was considered to be repeated provocations. Now that Theta has freed her hand, it seems that she has finally made up her mind to send her troops south to fight a decisive battle with the Knights.

"We need to find Theta as soon as possible and talk to her," I said.

Lady Midnight said, "If talk can help."

If talk works, where does war come from?I can't blame Lady Midnight for her pessimism. In fact, as long as Theta is mentioned, Glinda has kept silent. She may not want to see Theta at all, especially in the current situation.

Wayne said: "Maybe it's all in vain, but if you don't try hard, it's useless to have regrets."

Glinda nodded silently.

Madame Midnight summoned an obsidian engraved sextant and said, "I happen to have the coordinates of Theda's camp here. Do you want to teleport there directly? Or is it more polite to teleport to the vicinity first and then walk to visit?"

"No," I said, "let's go to Wuyun Bank first."

"Wuyun Bank?" Madam Midnight said with a smile on her face, "Wuyun's accountants are holding an event, and I heard that there are free tastings of sweets."

"I've decided to go to the Black Cloud Bank. If Theta doesn't listen, I need a backup plan."

Although I don't like it, it seems that I have been making decisions in the team recently.The meddling elf man betrays, and Captain Glinda is troubled by her own concerns.There is a nominal democratic procedure in the team, but no matter what I want to do, Wayne must agree with both hands without principle, and Francis is always indifferent to everything, simple majority, so I became a poor leader By.As a crappy leader, it wasn't enough to "try and try" as Wayne said, I had to find a way to stop the war.

Madam Midnight read my thoughts again, but she didn't comment, she just said: "As you wish, coordinate with Dark Cloud Bank."
