weird fairy tale town

The entire banquet hall was in chaos, with screaming women, yelling men, and all the servants with stunned faces.

Fortunately, the guards were still well-trained, and soon some people entered the arena to maintain order, and lit the candles one after another, thus slightly controlling the scene.

The old servant John stood aside with a look of astonishment, and the captain of the guard, Rosen, hastily stepped forward to support the tearful princess who was still trembling at the moment, and arranged for the guards to send everyone away as soon as possible with a calm face.

This is not a very troublesome job.

Today's royal palace, especially this banquet hall, is like a mouth full of blood. No one knows who will be swallowed next, and they just want to escape from this place far away.

Looking at the frightened faces in the crowd, Bai Zhe gave up the idea of ​​going to someone for questioning.

These guests, probably like the servants in the entire palace tonight, don't know why they are here, why they came to this terrible ball again.

However, before anyone walked out of the banquet hall, a burst of weird laughter spread to everyone's ears as if accompanied by a cold wind—"Hahahahaha, the dance is so interesting, so fun, tomorrow you will definitely Will come to the ball again, won't you?"

The voice seemed to come from far away, and it seemed to be right next to the ear. The person who heard it directly felt numb in the scalp, trembled in the eardrum, and felt cold in the soul.

People in the entire hall began to flee at a faster speed, and the whole scene was in chaos. I don't know how many things were overturned and how many luxurious dresses were soiled. Soon, there was only a mess of cups and plates left on the scene.

But Bai Zhe and Qi Lin went straight to the princess.

Looking at the chief guard Rosen who was greeting her now - he and the cold and iron-blooded look in the afternoon seemed to be two completely different people.

The old servant John, who was in a trance, also rushed over at this time, knelt beside the princess, wiping her tears tremblingly with a handkerchief.

"It's him...it's him!! It's him! It's him!!" The princess waved away Old John's hand, threw herself into Rosen's arms, and cried bitterly, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Ah Rosen, here he is!"

Rosen's face was gloomy, almost as if he was about to take out a knife to cut people, but his voice in the princess's ear was still gentle but firm and indifferent, "Your Highness, don't lie, tell me Me, who is here?"

"I don't know, I don't know, he's a man!" The princess hugged Rosen and cried loudly, "It's a man! He's about the same age as me, and looks about the same, but...but! He said that I took everything from him It's been too long, let me return it to him, woo woo woo, I'm so scared! Rosen, I can't control myself!"

Bai Zhe and Qi Lin looked at each other.

The bald-headed man and his remaining four sisters who were a little bit further away also darkened when they heard this.

They originally planned to come over to question the princess, but since Xiao Wu disappeared, does she have any more clues here?

But judging from today's situation, the convening of this ball seems to be a force majeure.

From the afternoon onwards, all the servants involuntarily began to prepare things, and in the evening, even the guests came in uncontrollably, and the whole dance was extremely lively.

One person was still missing, and soon Bai Zhe calculated in his mind how well Xiao Wu met the two conditions they deduced before.

First, Xiao Wu already has a lover in private, so he agrees.

Second, Xiao Wu has a very good relationship with the princess.

Although this one is somewhat ambiguous, but this morning, even in the garden, Xiao Wu handed the princess a handkerchief, which can be regarded as a proof of intersection with the princess.

As Bai Zhe thought about it, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Both the system and the NPC will only announce "correct" clues, but the clues are not necessarily "direct" clues.

It doesn't seem to make any sense to force Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to have a good relationship with the princess, but they have one thing in common—they have all had contact with the princess.

Xiao Liu asked the princess to dance, and Xiao Wu later recalled that although the princess did not agree to him, she clinked the wine glass with him.

And Xiao Wu even handed his handkerchief to the princess.

And the two ladies who had a good relationship with the princess before must have had contact with the princess.

Maybe!This is the crux of the matter!

The rest of the dance seemed to be the same as before, except - the candles were extinguished earlier.

When Xiao Liu disappeared yesterday, it was around 11:[-] in the evening.

Today, when Xiao Wu disappeared, the time was around 11 o'clock.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhe couldn't help frowning tightly.

Obviously, since the second dance, something has been quietly changing. At the third dance, the power of that thing began to become stronger, and now, at the fourth dance, its power is even stronger .

Legendary magic?Bai Zhe rubbed his chin, thinking, it's interesting.

The bald man looked at Bai Zhe with a serious face. He had already lost two sisters. Although the system did not announce that any players were eliminated from the game, even if they rescued the two of them later, in this game they had already lost their lives. Doomed not to get a good score, it is likely to face game punishment.

But these are not the crux of the problem now.

The crux of the problem is - he has no clues or ideas at all right now!Caught blind!

As a leading brother, if he can't even keep his younger brother, what dignity does he have?

But more importantly, even if he loses face, he still wants to save his little brothers!

"What do you think?" Facing the current situation, the need to save the younger brother is obviously more important than anything else, and the bald man didn't care about face, so he asked Bai Zhe directly.

Bai Zhe and Qi Lin looked at each other, saw Qi Lin nodded, then glanced at the hysterical princess again, then turned his head and said directly to the bald man: "I suggest you, master of mathematics, to count again." How many statues are there in the whole garden? I still have something to do, so I’m afraid I’ll have to delay for a while, so I’ll confirm with the princess, and I’ll see you at the garden gate in half an hour, is that okay?”

The bald man nodded angrily, turned around and took his younger brothers away.

From a distance, it seems that one of the younger brothers can be heard saying: "Brother, let's pay more attention this time. The statue that guy mentioned last time looks a bit like Xiao Liu. Maybe it's still there today. I can find someone like Xiao Wu..."

Bai Zhe turned his gaze back to the princess, stepped on his high-heeled shoes that were at least ten centimeters taller, and walked over, and asked calmly, "I'd like to ask you to confirm something."

His voice is too cold, making people feel no trace of warmth and care, but it is too calm, giving people a full sense of security and trustworthiness.

The princess raised her head from Rosen's arms and rubbed her eyes. At a certain moment just now, he felt that he saw the most beautiful person in the world.

Is it an angel?

"You, you say..." Rosen took the handkerchief handed over by the old servant John, and gently wiped the princess's tears. Hearing her voice choked up, he signaled Old John to pour water.

"In the center of that garden, who is buried, your brother who was supposed to grow up together?"

"The way the garden was built was random or deliberate. Is it a formation? Is it used to calm the soul or to pray for blessings?"

Seeing that the blood on the princess's face faded away almost instantly, Bai Zhe already knew the answer.

But of course he didn't see it from the princess's face, but—

[Ding, player 7414 found the key clue. In the mysterious garden in the palace, there is a small coffin that looks like an ornament.What is surprising is that the little prince who was buried in it turned out to be the little prince who died at a young age. This clue is a public clue, and all players can share this clue. This clue is a key clue. points, temporarily ranked first. 】

Bai Zhe took a deep breath, turned to Rosen who was hugging the princess tightly, and said calmly: "The last question is for you, Rosen, why did you kill the pigeons that were originally raised in the garden?"

Luo Sen's expression changed suddenly. He let go of the princess, stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist with a bang, and roared at Bai Zhe like an angry lion: "You guys! Who are you?"

Facing his aggressive questioning, Bai Zhe didn't panic at all.

Just a joke, although I don’t know what the setting of this world is, but people who know magic are the truly terrifying existences. For those who don’t have real fighting skills, it might be a little scary to hold a gun in front of him , Holding a knife or something, it's not enough to watch.

"We are warriors. Didn't Madam Yeovil tell you? But you, Chief of Guard Rosen, why did you make a deal with the devil?"

The face of the head of the guard, Rosen, gradually became mixed and frightened.

Because Bai Zhe didn't continue to speak, but the majestic big dog behind him suddenly took a step forward and spit out words.

The dog can speak human language, which is obviously blessed by the archmage, and it is by no means something he, the head of the guard, can compete with.

However, even Bai Zhe cast a surprised look at Qi Lin at this time.

Although he has already acted in front of the princess as a living person and as a dog, Bai Zhe is well aware of Qi Lin's shyness and face-saving attributes.

When he unfortunately turned into a dog, he was always dedicated to playing a good dog, and he was not willing to appear different in front of others. Why is this now?

Seeing Bai Zhe's doubts, Qi Lin lowered his voice and whispered, "I just discovered another hidden clue."

Bai Zhe raised one of his eyebrows high, and lowered his voice to ask back, "Another clue that can only be discovered by a dog?"

Qi Lin was suspiciously silent for a moment, and finally nodded under Bai Zhe's scrutinizing gaze.

Bai Zhe: "..." This is the second time for him to discover hidden clues!People are not as good as dogs!

That's right, just now, Qi Lin realized that he could actually see strands of black air wafting from the crying princess.

[Ding, player No. 70 found a hidden clue. Whenever someone has negative emotions such as sadness or anger, it seems that something condenses from them and floats into the mysterious garden in the palace.This clue is a hidden clue, only the player himself knows, the player points +5, temporarily tied for the first place. 】
