I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After hearing the news in the small park that Princess Lilia was about to return to the palace and get married, Pei Xiang's thoughts changed, and he suddenly had an idea on how to logically enter the core of power in the Burleigh Kingdom.

On the second day, Pei Xiang no longer collected information everywhere, but began to deliberately stay in some crowded places, and inquired about the whereabouts of the princes carefully.As a result, she quickly aroused the vigilance of some people.

At the same time, she often wanders around the residences of the envoys of various countries, especially the envoys of the Burleigh Kingdom.

Occasionally, Pei Xiang would use clumsy conversation skills to prattle on to the servants of the envoys. It seemed that he was just curious about the customs of distant countries, but in the eyes of caring people, it meant that Pei Xiang's purpose was not pure.

The secret person thinks that Pei Xiang is very likely to be planning for the princess's wedding.

In the palace, Queen Moenna, who was choosing jewelry, waved lightly, signaling the maids in the room to retreat, leaving only her confidantes alone.

"So, that dumb girl once lived in the farmer's house where Lilia was fostered?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is true."

The loyal knight who admired the queen replied in a deep voice:

"Also, the dumb girl Amy has a very good relationship with Her Highness Princess Lilia. According to the report of the man of the farm, Amy and Princess Lilia often get together to communicate secretly, and the two wrote a lot in the notebook. Robert suspects that Her Royal Highness the Princess may have told the mute girl her life experience, and even asked her to help her contact the Eleven Princes."

The queen sneered, and she swayed to the window, wearing a royal blue silk dress that made her look both charming and dignified.

Gently brushing the champagne-colored tulips in the vase with her fingertips, Moenna's tone was cool and a little careless.

"Our little princess is still so naive that she even asked a mute to help. Oh, what a pity, Lilia is doomed to disappointment, and she will never see her brothers again."

Gazing at the queen's graceful and plump figure, the knight assured without hesitation:

"Your Highness, this subordinate will take someone to arrest the dumb girl Amy, so that she won't run around in the capital, and don't let her and Princess Lilia bring you troubles and sorrows."

"Well, go ahead. After arresting the person, have a good interrogation. I want to know how she knew about His Majesty's plan to marry Lilia to Burleigh. Behind this... is that old guy Edward Reagan? Instigated to play tricks."

"Yes, I will do it now, and I will not disappoint you, Your Highness."

"Go on...wait a minute, this time you should be more discreet when arresting people. Your Majesty has recently been concerned about that little girl Lilia, and often asks a few questions. You and your patrol team are here to arrest and Lily Those who are related to Ya are easy to be caught by the restless old guys, which will make His Majesty suspicious."

"Subordinates must be careful and secretly arrest the dumb girl Amy, so as not to disturb some people with ulterior motives." The knight looked at the admirer with piercing eyes.

Moenna's eyes pulsed, her red lips parted slightly:

"I await good news from you, my loyal follower."

After that day, Pei Xiang played a game of hide and seek with the patrolling guards in the capital.

Relying on the fact that those people are currently unable to arrest her with great fanfare, she often enters and exits the place where the envoys live temporarily, and quickly disappears without a trace after leaving, causing headaches for those who follow and chase her.

After hiding in hiding for a few days, on a beautiful evening with rose-colored clouds covering the sky, Pei Xiang waited for the Eleven Princes who fly back to the capital every year to visit their hometown.

Standing at the highest point of the church bell tower, she looked up at the eleven wild swans flying in the sky, and quietly listened to their longing cries.

It wasn't until the eleven elegant and beautiful figures penetrated the clouds and gradually flew away that she lightly jumped down from the top of the clock tower, chasing the direction where the wild swans spread their wings and left.

After leaving the capital, Pei Xiang fled across the fields and swamps lightly, and headed straight for the black forest. She used her lightness kung fu to run with all her strength, and finally reached the depths of the dense forest when the moon was in the sky.

The forest is huge and the vegetation is abundant. If you want to find the traces of the eleven princes in this lush greenery, you need some luck.So, after finding the river, Pei Xiang didn't continue to follow, but lit a small fire by the river.

Immediately afterwards, she sprinkled some grass seeds that would produce a special aroma after burning into the fire.

After the aroma was strong enough, she added several less common weeds and dried flowers to the burning fire one after another.In the end, the sword energy rolled, causing this special aroma to drift towards the downstream of the river.

"Amy, you are very talented as a witch and a potion master." Dagger praised lightly.

He traveled around with Pei Xiang, along the way, and witnessed with his own eyes that she only groped and studied by herself, and soon mastered the characteristics of some flowers and minerals with weak magic power, and gradually formed her own system.

If she can get more detailed guidance or magic inheritance, she will definitely shine in some fields in the future.

Pei Xiang chuckled, and explained slowly in his heart:

"Thank you for the compliment. However, I have understood and studied the knowledge system related to medicine before, and I have a certain foundation. Although I have not yet mastered the knack of brewing and blending potions with magic power, I can use the unique magic of this world in a superficial way. It’s possible to make small things out of things.”

The dagger responded, and asked thoughtfully:

"If you can't find a strong enough existence to help you lift the sea witch's curse, do you plan to solve this trouble yourself?"

"I have this idea," Pei Xiang said frankly. "When I was inquiring about Heqiu's story, I was also paying attention to learning magic. It's just... I found that my current situation is a bit embarrassing."

"really."

Without Pei Xiang's elaboration, the dagger immediately understood what Pei Xiang meant by "embarrassment".

On the magic continent, each race has its own unique magic inheritance, and the comprehension requirements for some advanced inheritance are extremely harsh. aliens.

Among them, the human magic system is the least exclusive, and many intelligent creatures can learn the magic knowledge researched by human beings.However, the magic of the human race belongs to the human race after all. At the stage of high-level magic, non-human races cannot continue to learn. They can only wander in the middle and low levels, unable to go further.

It can be seen that if Pei Xiang wants to master advanced magic knowledge, it is best to get the inheritance of the Sea Clan.

"The little mermaid just came of age, only 15 years old, and has not had time to accept the magic inheritance of the mermaid family."

Pei Xiang looked at the bright flames burning in the dark night, and while waiting for the wild swan princes to find him, he chatted with Mr. Dagger in his heart.

"Besides, even if I learn the magic inherited from the mermaid clan, it won't help me much. Because even the little mermaid's father and grandmother can't undo the sea witch's potion curse.

"Dagger was first born. The strength of the sea witch is definitely far superior to that of the mermaid clan, and even far surpasses any sea clan in the sea country today. Therefore, I must find a more advanced magical inheritance before I can get rid of the shackles she gave to this body. , This is also the reason why I focused on the legendary experience of the hero Heqiu from the very beginning."

"However, even if you find out the reason why Heqiu defeated the Lord of the Sea Clan in Bolai Country, it may not be a good medicine for the disease, and it is very likely that your work will be wasted."

"It is true, but what does that matter? Anyway, I have no other direction for the time being, so I can only try my luck."

Pei Xiang really didn't have a particularly heavy burden in his heart.

In the face of troubles, she will try her best to solve big and small problems, but if she can't get the results she wants after trying her best, then lie down and enjoy life.

——Maybe... Maybe he can live safely under the sea witch's curse for decades, and that would be considered a lifetime.

After all, compared with many sea races, human life is indeed very short.

"As long as I don't worry about the fact that the mermaid this body belongs to has a lifespan of 300 years or more, I have nothing to regret. Of course, the worst case is that if I am alive today, the curse will strike tomorrow, and then Died.

After understanding Pei Xiang's thoughts, Dagger was silent for a moment, then asked:

"You should have thought about asking me for help, but you never asked."

Pei Xiang rested his chin and looked at the dense night, and asked indifferently:

"Then, is Mr. Bi first willing to help me?"

"You don't believe I can help you?"

"No, my intuition tells me that it will cost a lot to ask Mr. Bi first to help. I don't want to make a deal with you for the time being if it is not necessary."

"Amy, do you trust your instincts?"

"Yes, just like I believe... the real Mr. Dagger is definitely not the cold and peaceful personality now."

This time, Bishou laughed out loud in Pei Xiang's mind, not a short sneer, nor a faint smile, he conveyed a relaxed and joyful mood to Pei Xiang for the first time.

His laughter is deep and soft, and his breath is clear and pure, which is enough to arouse all the trust in the listener's heart.For a moment, Pei Xiang's fear and defense against daggers dropped to an extremely low level, and he could almost get a sense of security from the other party, similar to that from his family.

But the next moment, that laughter was tainted with a trace of inherent arrogance and aloofness, which instantly closed the gap in Pei Xiang's heart, and his eyes became clear again.

After waking up, Pei Xiang frowned and poked the fire, and asked the dagger in his mind puzzledly:

"You clearly know that the smell released by this potion can only confuse me a little, and it doesn't have much effect at all. Why take the opportunity to make such a senseless temptation?"

"Amy, do you think this is a temptation?"

Dagger's attitude returned to his usual indifference, lacking real emotional fluctuations, but a little more lazy and casual than before.

Pei Xiang didn't answer him, because the person she was waiting for tonight had already arrived.

Downstream of the stream came a handsome young man with bewildered eyes. While staring intently at the source of the fragrance, he muttered to himself:

"What is this smell that reminds me of the fragrance of my mother's body? Gods forgive me, I haven't smelled this familiar and reassuring fragrance for many years."

Behind this man, there was a younger man who was also intently watching the burning fire, but his words were different from those of his older brother:

"I think this good smell is the garden in spring. At that time, my little sister Lilia was sitting on my lap and giggling. She was small, wearing a small white skirt, with a faint milk fragrance and The sweetness of strawberries, I read her that magical picture book..."

Pei Xiang stood up and hit the ground with the wooden stick in his hand, making a loud noise and interrupting the myths and memories of the visitors.

After that, she sprinkled some gray powder into the fire without leaving a trace, and slowly neutralized the smell that could arouse people's warm and nostalgic emotions.

As the scent dissipated, the older youths were the first to recover.

He first grabbed his younger brother who was still about to move forward, and then looked at Pei Xiang suspiciously, a trace of vigilance crossed his handsome brows.

"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you. Our brothers were just attracted by a scent and couldn't help coming here. I'm really sorry. Miss, we're leaving now."

The younger youth also came to his senses at this time, he was more lively and curious than his elder brother:

"Beautiful girl, why did you appear in the depths of the black forest alone? Are you a fairy? Is the fragrance that makes people fall into happy memories just now a gift from a fairy? Thank you, I like it very much, I haven't just had it for a long time So happy."

Pei Xiang smiled, and she gestured to the two brothers to wait.Then, she took out a handful of fluorescent grass from a big cloth pocket, and then she spelled the name "Lilia" on the ground with the fluorescent grass in her hand.

"Lilia? Do you know Lilia?" the young prince exclaimed.

Pei Xiang nodded happily. She pointed to the name on the ground, and then to herself, and made a few gestures by the light of the fire.

"It was Lilia who asked you to come to us?"

The elder prince barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked doubtfully:

"How do you know we're here? Who are you? If you were sent by the new queen's witch to fool us, then go away, we won't be fooled."

Pei Xiang blinked, and instead of answering the other party's question immediately, he asked the identities of the two men seriously.

After the arrival proved that they were Lilia's elder brother, Pei Xiang showed a relieved expression, and then began to explain her own identity.

Using fluorescent grass spelling and simple movements, Pei Xiang told how he and Lilia met, and gave some examples of the warm past between their brothers and sisters that Lilia had talked about.

"Second brother, she must be Lilia's friend. That old witch definitely doesn't know the details of our playing with Lilia." Eleventh Prince, the youngest among the princes, said happily.

The second prince nodded silently, agreeing with his younger brother's judgment.

So, after a short time, Pei Xiang met all of Princess Lilia's brothers.

"We have been turned into wild swans by the curse of the new queen. During the day, we can only fly non-stop, far away from the motherland; after the sun sets, we will change from birds to humans and be allowed to fly on land. Stay up and rest."

"Have you been in this country? Why didn't you visit Lilia?" Pei Xiang asked in words.

"We also want to visit Lilia and see how she is doing." Eleventh Prince scratched his hair dejectedly and confided in a low voice.

Another prince explained gently:

"On normal days, we cannot stay in our hometown. We will fly to the opposite side of the sea, where there is a beautiful and rich country, which is very suitable for us to stay. But fortunately, we have the opportunity to return to our hometown once a year, We can stay here for eleven days, and after that, we must return to the other side of the sea until the next year."

The second prince added from the side:

"At dawn tomorrow, we will become wild swans, fly into the sky, and look down on this land from high in the sky. We can hover over the capital, look at the gorgeous palace of our father, look at the cathedral where our mother is buried, Flying and wandering around the bell tower of the church for a while. After eleven days, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to start again and fly to the opposite side of the sea together.”

At this time, the oldest and stable eldest prince said:

"Miss Amy, I want to ask, how did you find this place? After that, will you tell Lilia about our situation?"

Pei Xiang tilted his head with a smile, made a gesture of prayer and thanks, and explained with gestures:

"I want to help Lilia, so I have been praying to the gods for guidance, and then I followed the rose-colored clouds in the sky and came here. After dark, I was a little scared, so I lit a fire by the river Just as the flame was ignited, a crow suddenly descended from the sky. It threw some weeds and wild flowers into my fire, and then flew away. Later, the second prince and the eleventh prince appeared together and said that they There is a special fragrance."

The princes were very happy when they found out how Pei Xiang found them. They thought it was the gods caring for the kind-hearted people.

That night, the eleven princes talked a lot with Pei Xiang again. They hadn't talked so freely with anyone other than their brothers for many years, so they were very happy to talk.

Pei Xiang told them about the situation of the king's capital, the envoys of various countries, the prestige of the current queen, and the king's marriage plan.

Sure enough, after hearing that the king planned to marry the younger sister to a very old man, the brothers all showed anxious expressions, and the youngest eleventh prince almost jumped up in anger...

Therefore, in the following time, Pei Xiang and the princes made a plan, not only to lift the vicious curse of the new queen, but also to prevent the little princess Lilia from marrying the widowed old king of the Bole Kingdom.

When the sun rises, the eleven young people who belong to the night have turned into elegant and beautiful wild swans.Under Pei Xiang's watchful eye, they spread their wings, and one after another they flew into the clear blue sky.
