Is the magic mirror really fragrant today?

The carriage moved forward with difficulty in the forest, and the trees in the forest stretched out their branches and kept making "squeak" noises on the carriage.

These voices did not disturb Ah Luo's thoughts, but made her calm down slowly.

Although it is not clear why the beast suddenly agreed to let Belle go back to visit his father, everyone else in the castle acquiesced that this meant giving up Belle's "life-saving straw".

Even so, Madam Teapot's attitude towards Belle has not changed, on the contrary, it has become more gentle and friendly.

A Luo thought that part of the reason why they were kind to Belle before was because they wanted to use her to break the spell, so that "goodness" had a purpose in it, so that they could not get closer and communicate with Belle.But now the Beast's behavior made them think that Belle was about to leave here, so they only regarded her as a friend who wanted to leave, instead they no longer had the restraint they used to have.

But - listening to Belle in the carriage talking about the beast, and showing himself the mirror given by the beast, which is said to be able to see the person in his heart.A Luo felt that Belle probably couldn't leave the palace for too long, after all, there was already someone she cared about there.

Thinking of this, A Luo silently used magic to guide the horses to speed up, hoping that Belle could see her father earlier, and they would come back sooner.

In the palace hidden under the mist behind the carriage, the beast climbed up to the highest roof, trying to see the receding carriage through the mist.

But after looking up for a long time, he found that apart from the large tracts of trees, he couldn't even see the shadow of the carriage.The beast slumped down on the roof in disappointment, while laughing at himself for letting him go so easily, while lamenting the fate of living in the form of a beast forever in the future.

"Don't you like that girl? Did you not like her when you sent her away, or do you think the spell can be broken by yourself?" A black cat lightly jumped onto the roof and sat down beside the beast gracefully.

Beast has long heard that Belle's guest has a black cat. Of course, he knows that there will be no stray cats in his cursed palace. I was very happy, so I didn't pursue it further, and even acquiesced that the black cat could enter and leave the dining room when I was not around.

But Beast only saw this cat today, and Beast was very familiar with its aura. It was the guy who harmed his rose that day and refused to apologize.

The beast actually didn't want to pay attention to him, but it's always good to have someone to talk to at this moment: "Of course I like her, and of course I understand that the curse of this palace cannot be broken by me. But so what, it's up to me to let her go." own choice."

The black cat licked its paw: "I don't understand why you like such a girl, it's so plain, isn't it?"

"Is she ordinary? I thought she was timid at first, but when she saw me, she was so scared that she wanted to run away overnight. But this girl who seemed very timid to me gave up the chance to escape at a critical moment , chose to stay and help me defend against the wolves." The beast sighed, "She was not sure about being a beast at that time, she just saw me as an existence in need of help, an independent individual without any attachments in her eyes. She is not ordinary , she is colorful in my eyes."

After hearing this, the black cat suddenly thought of her mother. She once told herself: You will meet many people in your life. They have different colors in your eyes, black or white, but there is only one that stands out from the others. Different, in your eyes is gorgeous like a rainbow.

He didn't understand it at the beginning, but now he seems to understand it a little bit.

"Since you like her, why did you let her go? Shouldn't you hold her tightly so that she can never leave you?" the black cat asked sincerely. He has always regretted that the contract he signed at the beginning ended up in the mirror Actually, if he had known this, he should have signed a soul contract in the first place, so that the two of them could live and die together!

The beast turned his head, a little disgusted with the black cat's view of love: "She is not happy here, even if I leave someone behind, she will not like me. Since leaving her will only make one more person sad, and it will not solve the curse, then It’s better for at least one person to be freed.”

"Hey!" The black cat sneered at him, "Your self-important spirit is really touching, but I'm not like you. She left me to escort that girl, but I won't stay where you are Wait. What I want, I will fight for it myself!"

After speaking, the black cat suddenly jumped off the roof.Mr. Clock, who was basking in the moonlight with his friends, saw a black shadow quickly passing by before heading towards the town.

He rubbed his eyes and suspected that he was wrong, but the lightning-like black figure kept moving, and Mr. Clock was a little silly.

"Hey, my old man, did you just see a dark thing rushing past?" Mr. Clock pushed his friend.

Mr. Candlestick gave him a blank look: "Did you not clean the clock face again? It's dark on it. Of course you will see black shadows!"

"No, listen to me, don't pretend to be asleep..."

The conversations of the clock and the candlestick behind the back gradually became inaudible. The black cat shuttled along the path in the forest. Although it obviously didn't know the correct route, it could quickly find the direction only by the faint breath left by Ah Luo.

His green cat pupils stared forward, his eyes full of determination.

After all, the carriage had left for a while, so when Ah Luo escorted Belle to the town, the black cat was still struggling forward in the forest.

"It seems that my strength has weakened." He thought this way, but accelerated his pace.

The carriage slowly entered the town, it was already night, and the lights in the town were turned on.

Unlike the quiet and idle after dark in the past, the town seems a little noisy tonight.The streets not far away were brightly lit, and a large number of people gathered there, hearing the sounds as if they were arguing about something.

Belle had never seen such a situation, and she was a little worried for a while.But A Luo, who had known the original story, vaguely remembered a plot: a brave man in the town was Belle's admirer. Go kill the beast.But A Luo couldn't remember the specific plot.

A Luo withdrew her magic for a while, and stopped the carriage: "Bei Er, be careful later, can you not reveal anything about the beast?"

Belle, who was eager to see her father, didn't understand why Ah Luo suddenly stopped the carriage, but when she saw the other party making a serious request to her, Belle nodded seriously and agreed.After all, she didn't want others to know the existence of the beast.

Belle's home is still in the town, just passing by the place where many people gather.As a result, the carriage got a little closer, and Belle heard a familiar voice from the crowd: "Believe me, my daughter was really kidnapped by a terrible beast. I beg you to save her, she In that palace deep in the forest."

It was the voice of an old man. A Luo could hear that the other person seemed to be very weak, but he kept on asking the townspeople for help.

"Ah Luo, the person who spoke seems to be my father." Belle in the carriage poked her head out, trying hard to see through the crowd to see who the people surrounded inside were.

A Luo didn't want to make any big noise to attract the attention of the townspeople, so she wanted to find a way to quietly find out the identity of the old man.But before she could think of a magic that could be used, she heard a young man say in a mocking tone:

"Why are you still dreaming every day when you are so old? I just want to marry your daughter Belle. Wouldn't it be great if you called her out and we made a marriage contract? Why are you so stubborn and make up a story that no one will believe?" reason, but was tied up here to suffer.”

"I didn't lie to you, my daughter is really in the hands of the beast. It's all my fault, it's all my fault for picking a rose..." The old man was still powerlessly explaining, but the other party was getting weaker and weaker.

Now Belle was clearly sure that this man was her father, and the noise of the crowd gradually became louder. The two of them saw a thin old man who was tied up by a rope and slowly hung up.

The old man looked very uncomfortable, to the point where he was taking in less air and exhaling more, as if he was about to pass out due to poor breathing in the next second.But no one in the audience made a move to stop them, they just watched with cold eyes.

"A Luo, A Luo, help me, that's my father!" Belle cried and hugged A Luo's arm, feeling extremely painful for her powerlessness at the moment.

The current situation does not allow Ah Luo to think too much, and the young people in the crowd who can't see the face are still clamoring to hang the old man higher, so as to force Belle to appear.

A Luo didn't understand why the people in this small town obeyed the command of this young man and attacked an innocent old man.What kind of ability does this young man have?

A Luo raised her hand and threw a wind blade to cut the rope, then immediately rolled up the old man with wind magic and sent him to the carriage.

Ah Luo saw the right moment to strike, because the victory lies in the surprise and quick action.So before people could react, A Luo had already rescued them, and was about to leave with the carriage.

In the carriage, Belle threw herself on the old man, holding back tears while helping him untie the rope that bound him.Perhaps it was because he was too old to stand the toss, and the old man was almost fainted when he was rescued.

Under Belle's repeated calls, he woke up leisurely.When he opened his eyes and saw his longing daughter, the old man almost cried.

He reached out and hugged Belle, the warmth in his arms made him finally believe that he was not dreaming: "Bell, my daughter, it's my fault, I shouldn't pick roses, it's my fault..."

"No father, the beast is fine, and I lived very well in that palace. I didn't suffer. This time, the beast specially asked me to come back to see you. Why were you tied up, why did they treat you like this? Belle comforted the old man a few words, but couldn't help asking her doubts.

It's just that Ah Luo outside the carriage suddenly interrupted their conversation: "Let's talk about this later, the people in the town are catching up!"

Belle poked her head out of the carriage when she heard the words, and she immediately saw the man who was chasing up and blocking them on a horse, but the strange thing was that she seemed to have never seen this man in the town.

The speed of the carriage was still too slow, and it was easily stopped by the man A Luo thought was a brave man.At this moment, Ah Luo really wanted to throw a ball of magic fire over and burn this annoying guy, but after all, she came from a society ruled by law, and taking people's lives would only be thought about in her mind at most.

"Young man in front, I advise you to get out of the way, otherwise the wind blade that just cut the rope will fall on your neck in the next second!" A Luo imitated Lance, raised her head slightly, Contemptuously at that person.

Originally thought that a brave man without magical power would be a little afraid of himself, but he didn't expect that the other party just lowered his head and smiled when he heard the words: "The elf next to the wizard Lance? I know you, but you don't know me. Get out of the way, of course." Yes, if you catch them without a fight, those two people will be able to leave alive!"

The author has something to say: Ah Luo: Who the hell did you provoke? !

Lance: ...Which one did you ask?

A Luo: ...
