I make vases in horror world [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 105 Ending the World
The doll's eyeballs were fixedly looking at Qi An's direction, and the nobles who were the owners of the doll seemed to be aware of it, and followed the doll's eyes to look at Qi An.
Those were pairs of eyes that were completely devoid of emotion.
Stiff, mechanical, dull, I don't know if it's his illusion, Qi An felt that the movements of these nobles became dull.Their movements of twisting their necks became more and more stiff, as if they could hear the sound of bones turning.
In Qi An's eyes, everything slowed down.
The movements of those nobles and those dolls began to synchronize surprisingly. They also looked at the direction outside the city gate, and the corners of their mouths also began to slightly raise extremely sweet smiles.
The smiles on the corners of their mouths seemed to be expressing some uncontrollable emotions in their hearts, as if they were talking.
——Welcome, come here and appear in... our line of sight.
— We are... waiting for you to come over.
"Your Royal Highness." Julie's gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the scene in front of Qi An returned to the scene he saw at first sight.
The prosperous capital, the proud nobles, the endless stream of pedestrians, and all kinds of shouts from peddlers.Everything here became full of vigor and vitality again, as if the lifeless scene he just saw was just an illusion of his.
[An An, this maid...may not be an ordinary person. ] The system's voice changes slightly, relying on its knowledge of its host over the years.At the first moment when he walked to the city gate, when the eyes of the young man in Chinese clothes were slightly blank, it knew that Qi An might have encountered some kind of sudden situation.
Therefore, it has been trying to get in touch with Qi An.
But for some reason, the connection between them seemed to be cut off.No matter what the system said in Qi An's mind, Qi An acted as if he didn't hear it at all.
Until... Julie's opening just now.
It subconsciously followed the sound, and saw the face of this soft-looking girl, which was completely different from usual.
All the expressions on her face faded, she was watching the scene inside the city gate coldly.Julie's figure was still as thin as a girl, and she was quite weak compared to the robust guards in armor around her, but the system felt a particularly strong sense of danger.
It and Qi An met all kinds of people, including those powerful fast-travelers and time-travelers, as well as those with high status in the mission world, but there has never been a character who makes it feel like it's scalp tingling.
Obviously there are no movements or expressions, but the system just senses that this girl is unhappy.
It's like... a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
And the reason for whether this volcano will erupt is also very clear, that is... its host.
[Um. ] The system in his mind was telling about Julie's unusualness, Qi An raised his eyes and focused on the girl who was looking at him respectfully.
The smile she showed was very standard, in line with court etiquette.When talking to herself, Julie's back was still slightly bowed, and she showed just the right amount of humility and respect.However, the girl's tender white hands were trembling.
"What are those dolls?" Qi An quickly turned his gaze back to those nobles.
Their expressions are natural and their movements are graceful, but they all have a doll on their hands or shoulders.
Looks like a very cute doll.
Qi An still had the impression of the scene just now in Qi An's mind. In an instant, these high-ranking nobles turned into something like... string dolls, completely lost their sanity, and seemed to be assimilated by these dolls .
"These are dolls made in the Duke of Sydney's mansion. Because of their cute appearance, they were very popular when they were first sold, and soon became a trend. Although the price is high, But many nobles are proud of owning such a doll." Julie's words were gentle and gentle, she looked at Qi An standing by her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth widened for some reason, "Your Highness should still I have some impression that these dolls are the same as those in Miss Jenny's basket at that time."
"I'm also very strange. I don't know why many nobles like this doll so much. As far as I know, even those who have clearly stated that they don't like this cute thing at all have a soft spot for it. , and everyone who owns these dolls loves them..." Julie seems to be simply narrating the matter, but also seems to be really puzzled, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes are slightly bent.
These dolls are exactly like the ones in Jenny's hands.
According to the system's description, Julie knew the strange scene she just saw.
Now that Julie said this, she deliberately reminded herself that linking this incident with Jenny was inducing him to suspect Jenny.
What is her purpose for doing this, and why does she stay by her side as a maid.
Still with such a... gentle and harmless appearance.
In the huge Duke's Mansion, warm yellow lights illuminated the entire palace.It's kind of like a restaurant.The owner of the room was having a meal, and the delicious smell of food wafted through the house.
The Duke of Sidney, the Duchess and the two ladies from the Duke's Palace were dining in splendid attire. A whole row of maidservants stood at one side of the dining table, their heads slightly lowered, and they looked at the ground respectfully.
Everything here is in line with what a noble family should look like, but there is only one thing, that is, there is an abrupt scene in the restaurant.A young girl in patchwork clothes was sweeping the clean ground with a broom that was too big for her.
Her current attire is incompatible with this environment. Not only does she not have any accessories on her body, but she also wears simpler clothes than those of the maids next to her.
It's like a commoner who inadvertently broke into a noble family.
The girl swept the ground quietly, and the Duke and Duchess were also eating their meals gracefully.Those two charming young ladies in beautiful long dresses would glance at this place from time to time when they were eating, and then sneered that did not conform to noble etiquette.
Although this scene is very strange, it completely conforms to folk rumors.
Due to the death of her biological mother, the originally noble young lady of the Duke's Mansion had her status plummeted. She was scolded by her stepmother and two stepsisters, and she lived a life that was even worse than that of a servant.
But suddenly, the soft and boneless Miss Jenny tightened her hand holding the broom, and the girl gradually raised her head.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the entire room instantly changed.Everyone remained motionless as if the pause button had been suddenly pressed.The Duke is lowering his head, the Duchess is wiping her mouth, and the two ladies of the Duchess House still maintain sarcasm smiles on their faces. Except for the poorly dressed girl and the door curtain being blown by the wind, everything seems to be still.
"The only person who can cause them to react." Jenny murmured in a strange tone. She seemed to be distressed, and her head began to shake. She was completely different from her usual inferiority complex. "It was the same before, At this time, Her Royal Highness has almost arrived in Nuomi Kingdom, so..."
"I finally found you."
The girl's words stopped abruptly, the smile on the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger, and she began to hum a song with unknown name and content.Jenny seemed very happy, and the dimples on her face were clearly revealed.
The girl skipped across the table, passed the Duke, the Duchess, and the two laughing Duchess ladies, and sang in an innocent tone and in an unknown tune, "Indifferent Father, vicious stepmother, two rough and ugly stepsisters, little Jenny is really pitiful, very pitiful..."
Jenny ran to a huge mirror, and the jeweled mirror reflected the girl's face.Although her clothes were very simple and shabby, she didn't have any makeup on her face, and there were no accessories on her hair, but the girl's face was beautiful and lovely, and the dirty clothes made her even more pitiful.
"She has no love from her parents, no fancy clothes, no nice jewelry.
He is obviously noble, but he lives a life that is not even as good as a servant.
She needs to do tiring and dirty work, she is despised by her stepmother, bullied by her stepsister, and even the servants look down on her.
Little Jenny is really pitiful, very pitiful..."
Jenny licked her lips suddenly, moistening her lips into an obvious red.
"But it's okay, it's okay...
Poor good little Jenny will have something else precious.
One day, she will be able to put on beautiful clothes, put on beautiful crystal slippers, and go to the banquet in a pumpkin carriage.
She will be favored by... the Prince. "
The girl's eyebrows and eyes completely completed the crescent moon, she seemed to think about it, and continued, "Little Jenny will give her favorite doll to the prince.
In the company of the dolls...
Little Jenny will live happily ever after with the prince... "
Jenny seemed to think of some beautiful scene, and she slowly closed her eyes with a smile.After a long time, the girl opened her eyes, bouncing back to where she was cleaning.
Jenny picked up the broom that had been thrown on the ground, waved it again and began to sweep the ground.That is, at a moment, everything in the stillness returned to its original state, and the Duke, Duchess and the two princesses continued to eat the food on the table.
Everything is normal.But when you look at it for a long time, you will be surprised to find that, except for that gray girl, everyone in this restaurant feels a little abnormal, whether it is the noble owner or the row of obedient servants, they There is a sense of mechanical repetition in his demeanor and demeanor, as if every move has been...predetermined.
There is a rigid rigidity.
Jenny, who lowered her head slightly to clean the floor, paused again, her eyes dimmed in the darkness, and the girl hooked the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, "Cinderella must be with the prince, I arranged this myself. Everything, I have set up such an identity for myself, I hope that we can have a fairy tale beginning..."
"So, no matter what happens in the middle, there must be...a fairytale ending..."
"Cinderella and the prince will be happy together...propelled by those lovely dolls..."
Because Nuomi Kingdom invited various countries this time, the guards on duty at the city gate have been selected and trained.After revealing his identity to them, Qi An was respectfully taken by them to the palace of Nomi Kingdom for honored guests.
The representatives from each kingdom are surprisingly similar, they are all princesses of their own countries.During the process of being brought to his residence, Qi An saw many princesses from other countries. These princesses were all very good-looking, and they all had their own ethnic characteristics.
Eye colors are varied, some have long ears, some have long wings.
Although the banquet held by the Nuomi Kingdom was seven days later, it was obvious that all the kingdoms showed great respect to Nuomi and arrived at the venue very early.
"Did you see that when I came today, I met many princesses from other countries on the way. They are really beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful people." A guard looked around. , quietly said to the guard next to him.
"Yeah." The guard next to him nodded flatly.
"Why do you think these princesses like to hang out here? Is it because the scenery here is very good?" The previous guard suddenly shook his head after saying this, "No, because our prince likes to hang out here. The reason for the quietness is that our place is very deserted, and it can be called desolate. If they like to visit places with a good environment, they should go to the place of the eldest prince. But why is there no one in the place of the eldest prince? Instead, it is our place that attracts How about a lot of princesses?"
"The reason why they come here is to see the scenery, not our prince." While the two were talking, a well-dressed maid came over. Her identity seemed to be taller, and her clothes Obviously more refined.There was some jealousy in the girl's eyes, "I just want to have a chance encounter with our prince."
"But, doesn't our prince have a fiancée?" The guard replied blankly, "I heard that Her Royal Highness seems to have arrived."
"What's the matter, that princess wears a veil all day, who knows what she looks like." The maid said angrily, "Besides, didn't the prince intend to divorce the engagement before, but it was because of some other reasons. The reason has been delayed. Otherwise, why do these kingdoms send their own princesses here? They just want to use this opportunity to let the prince know them, and it is best to use this to promote some kind of marriage."
"However..." the girl sneered suddenly, "They may not have thought that the prince is a person who likes to be clean. Except for His Majesty's summons, the prince rarely leaves the palace. It's just a waste of effort for them to dress up so beautifully here .”
"Sister Jasmine, I have heard from others that the celebratory banquet held this time is actually not what it appears on the surface, and it seems that there are other intentions. Do you know any other secrets?" The guard looked at the girl with exquisite makeup. , suddenly thought of something, deliberately lowered his voice and asked.
"It's related to the eldest prince." Jasmine looked at the princesses in the distance again, and the mockery on her face became more and more obvious, "Our kingdom only has two princes, and our prince will become the next high priest. There is no way for the successor to inherit the throne of king. So the crown prince fell on the eldest prince. You all know the... Hold a banquet so that the representatives and princesses of other countries will also attend the banquet."
"His Majesty will announce the eldest prince's crown prince at this banquet, and... choose a concubine for him."
While they were talking, the gate of the palace suddenly opened.The voices of several people stopped immediately, and they looked at the young man who came out of the palace gate respectfully.
The young man was dressed in the prince's costume. He was handsome, but his temperament was very cold, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were also indifferent.After he came out, the boy looked straight in one direction.
That direction happened to be the palace where the Nomi Kingdom was responsible for entertaining distinguished guests.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Jasmine subconsciously bit her lips when she saw the prince's gaze on the princesses beside her, but her words were still gentle and friendly.
"Did someone come to the palace today?" The boy's voice was indifferent to match his appearance.
"Well, because of your celebration banquet, many... missions from other countries have come." Jasmine was relieved when she saw the young man's gaze away from those princesses.
"Yeah." The prince nodded lightly, "...Order, entertain them well."
After finishing speaking, the young man looked in the direction of the palace again, his black eyes lowered slightly, and said in a voice so low that no one around could hear, "Can you finally know what the reason is?"
Just now, his steady beating heart suddenly trembled.
He felt a feeling that he had never felt before, as if someone was holding a feather and brushed gently over his heart, as if something changed around him.
It's like...something he's been waiting for is finally here.
He could recognize that this change came from the palace.
But Tommy didn't know why.
Although everything around him seems to be happening around him, Tommy always has a sense of estrangement, which he feels is unreal.
Because, his subconscious has been telling him that there is someone waiting for him, and he needs to find... that person.
A very important person to him.
"Yes." Jasmine seemed to respond respectfully, but her eyes moved restlessly to Tommy.The other party's expression didn't change in any way, making it impossible to figure out why he suddenly gave this order.
Just when Jasmine was about to lower her head again, her pupils constricted slightly.
She saw the prince's eyes turned blood red, a kind of oppressive indifference, so that she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all, as if some kind of evil was hidden in the other's eyes.
Jasmine suddenly felt very cold, and she felt that the boy was... scary.
Although there have been many invitations from princesses from other countries to him, Qi An has rejected them all.During the days in the palace, Qi An began to browse through the books inside, and finally had a basic understanding of the world he was in now.
This is a very chaotic world, where there are various races and professions, such as elves, demons, angels, and dwarves, as well as various professions such as wizards, priests, bards, and alchemists.So the contradictions in this world are particularly acute. In the early history, this world has been in various wars.
Until the birth of a wizard, he brought a huge disaster to the world, and every race suffered heavy losses because of it.For their own benefit, these races have united against it.In this process, the contradictions between them have been alleviated, so now the world's various races and professions can maintain a relatively good relationship.
Of course, another very important reason is that the wizard's matter has not been resolved.Even though each race sent its own elite forces to try to get rid of the wizard, they have been unsuccessful, and in the end they had to build a high tower with no exit.
There was no way they could kill the wizard, so they cast a spell that put him into a deep sleep and shut him inside.Even though they set up a lot of magic on the tower, hidden dangers still remained.
Not long ago, the wizard who fell into a deep sleep suddenly woke up.Accompanied by it, there is no sun in the sky, the blood moon hangs high above the night, and the whole world is shrouded in darkness.
The wizard made a request with this, and he asked the clans to help him find... a person.
The wizard set a deadline for them to find the man before the blood moon completely set, otherwise darkness would fall completely.
In this case, all ethnic groups maintain a superficial friendship and discuss solutions.
Because this world is full of sharp knives and blood, this world also has a strong romanticism.All kinds of well-known hero legends have been circulating since ancient times, including the warrior incident that has only been circulated not long ago.
As an ordinary person, he defeated the evil dragon with his bravery and saved the people.
Seeing this, Qi An's hand holding the book suddenly paused.The boy turned the book forward and began to re-read the story.
Seeing this scene, the system re-read the content with the boy, [An'an, is there a problem? ]
These pages describe in detail the life of the warrior, that is, Lu Wuyi, and the detailed process of his defeating the evil dragon.From the description inside, it can be seen that Lu Wuyi is a very smart and brave person. He made a very detailed plan to defeat the dragon, and many of the methods used in it are also very clever.
This is exactly what he is praised by bards. If it is an ordinary person, it is really strange to be able to do this.But if you know that the warrior is Lu Wuyi, these things will become reasonable.The system does not think that these contents are worth turning over and re-reading by its host.
[Well, there is a very strange place. ] Qi An was silent for a while, he stretched out his slender hand to press his temple, and closed the book.
[Varied……? ]
Before the system finished speaking, Qi An's door was knocked lightly a few times, and Julie walked in from the door, "His Royal Highness, the banquet for the eldest prince of the Nomi Kingdom is about to begin." , shall we leave now?"
After Julie finished her salute, she walked towards her. Qi An hummed lightly, and put the book in her hand back on the shelf.
From what Qi An already knew about the world, Qi An also discovered a thought-provoking coincidence.
The time when Julie started to serve the original owner coincided with the day when the wizard woke up according to the records.
The venue of the palace banquet was extravagantly arranged, and there were nobles from the Nomi Kingdom and charming princesses from other countries.They all wore court gowns that highlighted their aristocratic status, walked gracefully between the venues, and talked to each other with smiles.
But they have one thing in common, even if their clothes and makeup are different.
Everyone has a cute doll pinned to their shoulders.
After all, these dolls are also of various styles, wearing different clothes, having different hairstyles, and having different skin colors.But they all look extraordinarily realistic. I don’t know if it’s because of the lighting, but there seems to be light flowing in the eyes of these dolls.
It's like... coming back to life.
After Qi An stepped into the venue, he found a relatively remote corner and walked over.Although his figure was very thin, and the dress he was wearing could only be called quite satisfactory, but because Qi An was wearing a veil, he still attracted a lot of attention.
Only one of the people who came to the banquet was wearing a veil, and Qi An's identity was easily confirmed.He chose a remote corner with not many people, but as soon as Qi An stood still, many princesses rushed over.
"Is she that Princess Lu An, the one who engaged Prince Tommy?" A person in a pink dress put her hand to her mouth, she seemed to be whispering something, but her voice was completely silent To lower the meaning.
"She is the only one who wears a veil to attend the banquet. I really don't know why she doesn't dare to show her appearance. Could it be that she is ugly?" Another girl also made the same gesture. .
"I think so, and she is really strange. We seem to have sent her invitations, but she didn't accept any of them. She has been staying in her own palace and can't come out. She is so withdrawn. I really don't know why. It’s not that there’s something shady.” The speaker’s voice was a bit sharp, “Besides, she doesn’t seem to have anything special about her.”
Various female voices reached Qi An's ears, and because of wearing a veil, the faces of the "girls" who were surrounded unknowingly were completely covered, making it impossible to see his current expression.
But his head lowered slightly.
"I feel really unworthy of Prince Tommy. No wonder someone as good as him would take the initiative to break off the engagement."
Although there are many people gathered here, there is an empty area around Qi An.The rest of the girls talk intimately in twos and threes, while the "girl" surrounded by many girls is alone, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding scene.
It looks extremely fragile.
[These people are too good. ] The system muttered something in its mind.
[When they came here, they should all have been taught in advance to establish a... good relationship with Tommy.As a fiancée, I am naturally a blocking stone for them. ] Qi An replied with a flat voice from the system, [If you want to dissolve my engagement with Tommy, the best way is to start with me. ]
Qi An frowned slightly when he mentioned the name Tommy.
He wanted to see the prince whom he was engaged to be married to.
[Total, you said this banquet, will Tommy come? ]
[Tommy, it should be unlikely.Didn't it mean that he likes to be quiet and would never attend these banquets?But three days later, the banquet held for him will begin, and he will definitely attend...]
The system found itself slapped in the face in the next second, because all the female voices talking around disappeared.The banquet became extremely quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were on the direction of the gate.
"It's Prince Tommy!" Someone exclaimed softly.
A young man slowly walked in from the direction of the door. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, the system's voice changed uncontrollably, [It turned out to be... Zhang Zhaoqi. ]
"Why did Prince Tommy suddenly attend this banquet? My God, my God, if I had known this was the case, I wouldn't be wearing this outfit today." The princess in the pink dress anxiously asked a maid standing behind her , "Look quickly, have I put on makeup, is my hair messy?"
Some of the noble princesses just now became agitated because of the boy's entry.
The young man favored by the princesses is handsome, with a poker-faced but poised look, possessing a special charisma.
And his face was exactly the same as Zhang Zhaoqi's.
Tommy looked around, then walked in one direction with strides.The nobles blocking his way immediately moved back to give him a place to walk.
He seems to be going somewhere.
In this way, under the close attention of everyone and under the expectant and shy eyes of the princesses, the boy in the prince's suit kept walking forward, and then walked up to the "girl" wearing a veil.
"You're blocking the way of His Royal Highness." A princess looked at Qi An jealously, then took a step forward, grabbed Qi An's sleeve and pulled it back, as if to pull him back.
But in the next second, her expression froze.The prince, who had been acting calm all this time, suddenly walked quickly, took the princess's hand and got her hand off Qi An's clothes.
"He didn't block the way, I just came to find him."
Tommy's voice was cold, and the princess's hand trembled subconsciously, and she struggled to pull her hand out of Tommy's.
"I finally...found you. Your name is Lu An, right?" The prince's voice suddenly became very gentle, which was a gentleness that no one had ever heard.
[An'an, Zhang Zhaoqi doesn't seem to know you. ] The sound of the system changed.
[This world is strange. ] Qi An answered systematically after being silent for a while.
When he saw the deeds of the warrior just now, he found something strange.The deeds in it can only be accomplished by people like Lu Wuyi, but the time is wrong. The warrior defeated the dragon happened some time ago, it happened before he... came to this world.
Logically speaking, the time when all traversers came to the world should be the same.
But just now Zhang Zhaoqi used the word "finally".
In other words, it is very likely that he came to this world at a different time from other traversers.
The other traversers came earlier than him.
Just when the scene fell into silence, there were bursts of exclamations from the door, "Who is she, the princess of which country is she, why have I never seen her before?"
"Yes, she is really beautiful, and she came here in a pumpkin carriage."
There was a burst of exclamation at the door, and a young girl appeared at the door. She was wearing a pair of beautiful crystal shoes, and her figure was outlined by the exquisite dress. She became the second person who caused a huge reaction from people.
There is no doubt that the girl is very beautiful.
But that's not the reason why Qi An's eyelashes trembled slightly, but the fact that this new girl looks very similar to Mr. Gao Li.
Those were pairs of eyes that were completely devoid of emotion.
Stiff, mechanical, dull, I don't know if it's his illusion, Qi An felt that the movements of these nobles became dull.Their movements of twisting their necks became more and more stiff, as if they could hear the sound of bones turning.
In Qi An's eyes, everything slowed down.
The movements of those nobles and those dolls began to synchronize surprisingly. They also looked at the direction outside the city gate, and the corners of their mouths also began to slightly raise extremely sweet smiles.
The smiles on the corners of their mouths seemed to be expressing some uncontrollable emotions in their hearts, as if they were talking.
——Welcome, come here and appear in... our line of sight.
— We are... waiting for you to come over.
"Your Royal Highness." Julie's gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the scene in front of Qi An returned to the scene he saw at first sight.
The prosperous capital, the proud nobles, the endless stream of pedestrians, and all kinds of shouts from peddlers.Everything here became full of vigor and vitality again, as if the lifeless scene he just saw was just an illusion of his.
[An An, this maid...may not be an ordinary person. ] The system's voice changes slightly, relying on its knowledge of its host over the years.At the first moment when he walked to the city gate, when the eyes of the young man in Chinese clothes were slightly blank, it knew that Qi An might have encountered some kind of sudden situation.

All the expressions on her face faded, she was watching the scene inside the city gate coldly.Julie's figure was still as thin as a girl, and she was quite weak compared to the robust guards in armor around her, but the system felt a particularly strong sense of danger.
It and Qi An met all kinds of people, including those powerful fast-travelers and time-travelers, as well as those with high status in the mission world, but there has never been a character who makes it feel like it's scalp tingling.
Obviously there are no movements or expressions, but the system just senses that this girl is unhappy.
It's like... a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
And the reason for whether this volcano will erupt is also very clear, that is... its host.
[Um. ] The system in his mind was telling about Julie's unusualness, Qi An raised his eyes and focused on the girl who was looking at him respectfully.
The smile she showed was very standard, in line with court etiquette.When talking to herself, Julie's back was still slightly bowed, and she showed just the right amount of humility and respect.However, the girl's tender white hands were trembling.
"What are those dolls?" Qi An quickly turned his gaze back to those nobles.
Their expressions are natural and their movements are graceful, but they all have a doll on their hands or shoulders.
Looks like a very cute doll.
Qi An still had the impression of the scene just now in Qi An's mind. In an instant, these high-ranking nobles turned into something like... string dolls, completely lost their sanity, and seemed to be assimilated by these dolls .

Julie seems to be simply narrating the matter, but also seems to be really puzzled, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes are slightly bent.
These dolls are exactly like the ones in Jenny's hands.
According to the system's description, Julie knew the strange scene she just saw.
Now that Julie said this, she deliberately reminded herself that linking this incident with Jenny was inducing him to suspect Jenny.
What is her purpose for doing this, and why does she stay by her side as a maid.
Still with such a... gentle and harmless appearance.
In the huge Duke's Mansion, warm yellow lights illuminated the entire palace.It's kind of like a restaurant.The owner of the room was having a meal, and the delicious smell of food wafted through the house.
The Duke of Sidney, the Duchess and the two ladies from the Duke's Palace were dining in splendid attire. A whole row of maidservants stood at one side of the dining table, their heads slightly lowered, and they looked at the ground respectfully.

"I finally found you."
The girl's words stopped abruptly, the smile on the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger, and she began to hum a song with unknown name and content.Jenny seemed very happy, and the dimples on her face were clearly revealed.
The girl skipped across the table, passed the Duke, the Duchess, and the two laughing Duchess ladies, and sang in an innocent tone and in an unknown tune, "Indifferent Father, vicious stepmother, two rough and ugly stepsisters, little Jenny is really pitiful, very pitiful..."
Jenny ran to a huge mirror, and the jeweled mirror reflected the girl's face.Although her clothes were very simple and shabby, she didn't have any makeup on her face, and there were no accessories on her hair, but the girl's face was beautiful and lovely, and the dirty clothes made her even more pitiful.
"She has no love from her parents, no fancy clothes, no nice jewelry.

She needs to do tiring and dirty work, she is despised by her stepmother, bullied by her stepsister, and even the servants look down on her.
Little Jenny is really pitiful, very pitiful..."
Jenny licked her lips suddenly, moistening her lips into an obvious red.
"But it's okay, it's okay...
Poor good little Jenny will have something else precious.
One day, she will be able to put on beautiful clothes, put on beautiful crystal slippers, and go to the banquet in a pumpkin carriage.
She will be favored by... the Prince. "
The girl's eyebrows and eyes completely completed the crescent moon, she seemed to think about it, and continued, "Little Jenny will give her favorite doll to the prince.
In the company of the dolls...
Little Jenny will live happily ever after with the prince... "
Jenny seemed to think of some beautiful scene, and she slowly closed her eyes with a smile.After a long time, the girl opened her eyes, bouncing back to where she was cleaning.
Jenny picked up the broom that had been thrown on the ground, waved it again and began to sweep the ground.That is, at a moment, everything in the stillness returned to its original state, and the Duke, Duchess and the two princesses continued to eat the food on the table.
Everything is normal.But when you look at it for a long time, you will be surprised to find that, except for that gray girl, everyone in this restaurant feels a little abnormal, whether it is the noble owner or the row of obedient servants, they There is a sense of mechanical repetition in his demeanor and demeanor, as if every move has been...predetermined.
There is a rigid rigidity.
Jenny, who lowered her head slightly to clean the floor, paused again, her eyes dimmed in the darkness, and the girl hooked the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, "Cinderella must be with the prince, I arranged this myself. Everything, I have set up such an identity for myself, I hope that we can have a fairy tale beginning..."
"So, no matter what happens in the middle, there must be...a fairytale ending..."
"Cinderella and the prince will be happy together...propelled by those lovely dolls..."
Because Nuomi Kingdom invited various countries this time, the guards on duty at the city gate have been selected and trained.After revealing his identity to them, Qi An was respectfully taken by them to the palace of Nomi Kingdom for honored guests.
The representatives from each kingdom are surprisingly similar, they are all princesses of their own countries.During the process of being brought to his residence, Qi An saw many princesses from other countries. These princesses were all very good-looking, and they all had their own ethnic characteristics.
Eye colors are varied, some have long ears, some have long wings.
Although the banquet held by the Nuomi Kingdom was seven days later, it was obvious that all the kingdoms showed great respect to Nuomi and arrived at the venue very early.
"Did you see that when I came today, I met many princesses from other countries on the way. They are really beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful people." A guard looked around. , quietly said to the guard next to him.
"Yeah." The guard next to him nodded flatly.
"Why do you think these princesses like to hang out here? Is it because the scenery here is very good?" The previous guard suddenly shook his head after saying this, "No, because our prince likes to hang out here. The reason for the quietness is that our place is very deserted, and it can be called desolate. If they like to visit places with a good environment, they should go to the place of the eldest prince. But why is there no one in the place of the eldest prince? Instead, it is our place that attracts How about a lot of princesses?"
"The reason why they come here is to see the scenery, not our prince." While the two were talking, a well-dressed maid came over. Her identity seemed to be taller, and her clothes Obviously more refined.There was some jealousy in the girl's eyes, "I just want to have a chance encounter with our prince."
"But, doesn't our prince have a fiancée?" The guard replied blankly, "I heard that Her Royal Highness seems to have arrived."
"What's the matter, that princess wears a veil all day, who knows what she looks like." The maid said angrily, "Besides, didn't the prince intend to divorce the engagement before, but it was because of some other reasons. The reason has been delayed. Otherwise, why do these kingdoms send their own princesses here? They just want to use this opportunity to let the prince know them, and it is best to use this to promote some kind of marriage."
"However..." the girl sneered suddenly, "They may not have thought that the prince is a person who likes to be clean. Except for His Majesty's summons, the prince rarely leaves the palace. It's just a waste of effort for them to dress up so beautifully here .”
"Sister Jasmine, I have heard from others that the celebratory banquet held this time is actually not what it appears on the surface, and it seems that there are other intentions. Do you know any other secrets?" The guard looked at the girl with exquisite makeup. , suddenly thought of something, deliberately lowered his voice and asked.
"It's related to the eldest prince." Jasmine looked at the princesses in the distance again, and the mockery on her face became more and more obvious, "Our kingdom only has two princes, and our prince will become the next high priest. There is no way for the successor to inherit the throne of king. So the crown prince fell on the eldest prince. You all know the... Hold a banquet so that the representatives and princesses of other countries will also attend the banquet."
"His Majesty will announce the eldest prince's crown prince at this banquet, and... choose a concubine for him."
While they were talking, the gate of the palace suddenly opened.The voices of several people stopped immediately, and they looked at the young man who came out of the palace gate respectfully.
The young man was dressed in the prince's costume. He was handsome, but his temperament was very cold, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were also indifferent.After he came out, the boy looked straight in one direction.
That direction happened to be the palace where the Nomi Kingdom was responsible for entertaining distinguished guests.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Jasmine subconsciously bit her lips when she saw the prince's gaze on the princesses beside her, but her words were still gentle and friendly.
"Did someone come to the palace today?" The boy's voice was indifferent to match his appearance.
"Well, because of your celebration banquet, many... missions from other countries have come." Jasmine was relieved when she saw the young man's gaze away from those princesses.
"Yeah." The prince nodded lightly, "...Order, entertain them well."
After finishing speaking, the young man looked in the direction of the palace again, his black eyes lowered slightly, and said in a voice so low that no one around could hear, "Can you finally know what the reason is?"
Just now, his steady beating heart suddenly trembled.
He felt a feeling that he had never felt before, as if someone was holding a feather and brushed gently over his heart, as if something changed around him.
It's like...something he's been waiting for is finally here.
He could recognize that this change came from the palace.
But Tommy didn't know why.
Although everything around him seems to be happening around him, Tommy always has a sense of estrangement, which he feels is unreal.
Because, his subconscious has been telling him that there is someone waiting for him, and he needs to find... that person.
A very important person to him.
"Yes." Jasmine seemed to respond respectfully, but her eyes moved restlessly to Tommy.The other party's expression didn't change in any way, making it impossible to figure out why he suddenly gave this order.
Just when Jasmine was about to lower her head again, her pupils constricted slightly.
She saw the prince's eyes turned blood red, a kind of oppressive indifference, so that she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all, as if some kind of evil was hidden in the other's eyes.
Jasmine suddenly felt very cold, and she felt that the boy was... scary.
Although there have been many invitations from princesses from other countries to him, Qi An has rejected them all.During the days in the palace, Qi An began to browse through the books inside, and finally had a basic understanding of the world he was in now.
This is a very chaotic world, where there are various races and professions, such as elves, demons, angels, and dwarves, as well as various professions such as wizards, priests, bards, and alchemists.So the contradictions in this world are particularly acute. In the early history, this world has been in various wars.
Until the birth of a wizard, he brought a huge disaster to the world, and every race suffered heavy losses because of it.For their own benefit, these races have united against it.In this process, the contradictions between them have been alleviated, so now the world's various races and professions can maintain a relatively good relationship.
Of course, another very important reason is that the wizard's matter has not been resolved.Even though each race sent its own elite forces to try to get rid of the wizard, they have been unsuccessful, and in the end they had to build a high tower with no exit.
There was no way they could kill the wizard, so they cast a spell that put him into a deep sleep and shut him inside.Even though they set up a lot of magic on the tower, hidden dangers still remained.
Not long ago, the wizard who fell into a deep sleep suddenly woke up.Accompanied by it, there is no sun in the sky, the blood moon hangs high above the night, and the whole world is shrouded in darkness.
The wizard made a request with this, and he asked the clans to help him find... a person.
The wizard set a deadline for them to find the man before the blood moon completely set, otherwise darkness would fall completely.
In this case, all ethnic groups maintain a superficial friendship and discuss solutions.
Because this world is full of sharp knives and blood, this world also has a strong romanticism.All kinds of well-known hero legends have been circulating since ancient times, including the warrior incident that has only been circulated not long ago.
As an ordinary person, he defeated the evil dragon with his bravery and saved the people.
Seeing this, Qi An's hand holding the book suddenly paused.The boy turned the book forward and began to re-read the story.
Seeing this scene, the system re-read the content with the boy, [An'an, is there a problem? ]
These pages describe in detail the life of the warrior, that is, Lu Wuyi, and the detailed process of his defeating the evil dragon.From the description inside, it can be seen that Lu Wuyi is a very smart and brave person. He made a very detailed plan to defeat the dragon, and many of the methods used in it are also very clever.
This is exactly what he is praised by bards. If it is an ordinary person, it is really strange to be able to do this.But if you know that the warrior is Lu Wuyi, these things will become reasonable.The system does not think that these contents are worth turning over and re-reading by its host.
[Well, there is a very strange place. ] Qi An was silent for a while, he stretched out his slender hand to press his temple, and closed the book.
[Varied……? ]
Before the system finished speaking, Qi An's door was knocked lightly a few times, and Julie walked in from the door, "His Royal Highness, the banquet for the eldest prince of the Nomi Kingdom is about to begin." , shall we leave now?"
After Julie finished her salute, she walked towards her. Qi An hummed lightly, and put the book in her hand back on the shelf.
From what Qi An already knew about the world, Qi An also discovered a thought-provoking coincidence.
The time when Julie started to serve the original owner coincided with the day when the wizard woke up according to the records.
The venue of the palace banquet was extravagantly arranged, and there were nobles from the Nomi Kingdom and charming princesses from other countries.They all wore court gowns that highlighted their aristocratic status, walked gracefully between the venues, and talked to each other with smiles.
But they have one thing in common, even if their clothes and makeup are different.
Everyone has a cute doll pinned to their shoulders.
After all, these dolls are also of various styles, wearing different clothes, having different hairstyles, and having different skin colors.But they all look extraordinarily realistic. I don’t know if it’s because of the lighting, but there seems to be light flowing in the eyes of these dolls.
It's like... coming back to life.
After Qi An stepped into the venue, he found a relatively remote corner and walked over.Although his figure was very thin, and the dress he was wearing could only be called quite satisfactory, but because Qi An was wearing a veil, he still attracted a lot of attention.
Only one of the people who came to the banquet was wearing a veil, and Qi An's identity was easily confirmed.He chose a remote corner with not many people, but as soon as Qi An stood still, many princesses rushed over.
"Is she that Princess Lu An, the one who engaged Prince Tommy?" A person in a pink dress put her hand to her mouth, she seemed to be whispering something, but her voice was completely silent To lower the meaning.
"She is the only one who wears a veil to attend the banquet. I really don't know why she doesn't dare to show her appearance. Could it be that she is ugly?" Another girl also made the same gesture. .
"I think so, and she is really strange. We seem to have sent her invitations, but she didn't accept any of them. She has been staying in her own palace and can't come out. She is so withdrawn. I really don't know why. It’s not that there’s something shady.” The speaker’s voice was a bit sharp, “Besides, she doesn’t seem to have anything special about her.”
Various female voices reached Qi An's ears, and because of wearing a veil, the faces of the "girls" who were surrounded unknowingly were completely covered, making it impossible to see his current expression.
But his head lowered slightly.
"I feel really unworthy of Prince Tommy. No wonder someone as good as him would take the initiative to break off the engagement."
Although there are many people gathered here, there is an empty area around Qi An.The rest of the girls talk intimately in twos and threes, while the "girl" surrounded by many girls is alone, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding scene.
It looks extremely fragile.
[These people are too good. ] The system muttered something in its mind.
[When they came here, they should all have been taught in advance to establish a... good relationship with Tommy.As a fiancée, I am naturally a blocking stone for them. ] Qi An replied with a flat voice from the system, [If you want to dissolve my engagement with Tommy, the best way is to start with me. ]
Qi An frowned slightly when he mentioned the name Tommy.
He wanted to see the prince whom he was engaged to be married to.
[Total, you said this banquet, will Tommy come? ]
[Tommy, it should be unlikely.Didn't it mean that he likes to be quiet and would never attend these banquets?But three days later, the banquet held for him will begin, and he will definitely attend...]
The system found itself slapped in the face in the next second, because all the female voices talking around disappeared.The banquet became extremely quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were on the direction of the gate.
"It's Prince Tommy!" Someone exclaimed softly.
A young man slowly walked in from the direction of the door. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, the system's voice changed uncontrollably, [It turned out to be... Zhang Zhaoqi. ]
"Why did Prince Tommy suddenly attend this banquet? My God, my God, if I had known this was the case, I wouldn't be wearing this outfit today." The princess in the pink dress anxiously asked a maid standing behind her , "Look quickly, have I put on makeup, is my hair messy?"
Some of the noble princesses just now became agitated because of the boy's entry.
The young man favored by the princesses is handsome, with a poker-faced but poised look, possessing a special charisma.
And his face was exactly the same as Zhang Zhaoqi's.
Tommy looked around, then walked in one direction with strides.The nobles blocking his way immediately moved back to give him a place to walk.
He seems to be going somewhere.
In this way, under the close attention of everyone and under the expectant and shy eyes of the princesses, the boy in the prince's suit kept walking forward, and then walked up to the "girl" wearing a veil.
"You're blocking the way of His Royal Highness." A princess looked at Qi An jealously, then took a step forward, grabbed Qi An's sleeve and pulled it back, as if to pull him back.
But in the next second, her expression froze.The prince, who had been acting calm all this time, suddenly walked quickly, took the princess's hand and got her hand off Qi An's clothes.
"He didn't block the way, I just came to find him."
Tommy's voice was cold, and the princess's hand trembled subconsciously, and she struggled to pull her hand out of Tommy's.
"I finally...found you. Your name is Lu An, right?" The prince's voice suddenly became very gentle, which was a gentleness that no one had ever heard.
[An'an, Zhang Zhaoqi doesn't seem to know you. ] The sound of the system changed.
[This world is strange. ] Qi An answered systematically after being silent for a while.
When he saw the deeds of the warrior just now, he found something strange.The deeds in it can only be accomplished by people like Lu Wuyi, but the time is wrong. The warrior defeated the dragon happened some time ago, it happened before he... came to this world.
Logically speaking, the time when all traversers came to the world should be the same.
But just now Zhang Zhaoqi used the word "finally".
In other words, it is very likely that he came to this world at a different time from other traversers.
The other traversers came earlier than him.
Just when the scene fell into silence, there were bursts of exclamations from the door, "Who is she, the princess of which country is she, why have I never seen her before?"
"Yes, she is really beautiful, and she came here in a pumpkin carriage."
There was a burst of exclamation at the door, and a young girl appeared at the door. She was wearing a pair of beautiful crystal shoes, and her figure was outlined by the exquisite dress. She became the second person who caused a huge reaction from people.
There is no doubt that the girl is very beautiful.
But that's not the reason why Qi An's eyelashes trembled slightly, but the fact that this new girl looks very similar to Mr. Gao Li.
