Chapter 194: The Man Behind the Scenes
I looked around again, and found that there were many guards in the vicinity who were carrying oil lamps to deal with the accident and actively organizing rescue, and I wondered what the hell was going on? Obviously, the moment the tears of the sea princess fell, the underwater city should have been destroyed, why am I still in this time and space?
I found Robert, who had fallen not far away, his clothes were very dirty, but there was no trace of blood from before, and it seemed that some conditions had changed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I'm not sure who has become like Robert was before, so I'm going to be as careful as possible, and it seems that the only person I can trust is Cona, who came here with me.
I don't know if it's because of the strong reaction this time, Kona is still confused now. It wasn't until she sobered up a little that she suddenly seemed to realize something, and kept asking me what was going on. I explained the situation a little, and found that the princess seemed to be in a low mood, for she had been silent.
"Gong ...... Don't be too upset, Sharon......" I helped her to her feet, and the guards outside heard the noise and followed us. When they saw that Sharon was safe, they loudly signaled outside: "The princess is still alive!" It's in there! β
The old steward, followed by a group of guards, trembled and hurried to the place where we were, and as soon as he saw Sharon, he became very excited: "Princess, are you still alive?" That's great! β
Sharon also frowned, with tears in his eyes, and suddenly pounced on the old manager: "Uncle Jack, I'm still alive......"
Then the old steward looked at me gratefully and said, "Thanks to you, the princess is saved." β
The cold wind hit in the middle of the night, and Kona couldn't help but shudder. In the bell tower of the palace, the simple old clock began to tell the time again at midnight, announcing the end of the day. I watched as the princess and the old steward helped each other away, and listened to the bell strike the twelfth sound. All this, this ruin, did not return to calm as before, but dragged on and on.
Why is that?
I turned around in amazement to look at the dial of the clock on the clock tower, and sure enough, from the moment the bell struck the twelfth ring, the second hand had stopped moving. And the surrounding scenery gradually became a little blurry.
Another gust of wind hit.
I felt a chill in the back of my head, but suddenly my mind became unusually clear. From the moment we arrived at this time and space, everything that happened here, all kinds of clues, began to gradually string together, gradually revealing a complete line, and I suddenly felt as if I was getting closer and closer to the truth.
"Wait a minute!" I shouted at the princess and the steward's back.
The princess stopped abruptly and looked back at me in confusion.
"It's you, right? The person who constructed this world, this time and space, is you? I said.
The princess's eyes widened, and her face was full of surprise, and it took her a long time to realize that what I said was the old manager who was now supporting her, and subconsciously let go of her hand.
"What are you talking about? Lord Dingenier? Kona's face was also full of confusion at this time, and she trotted to my side and asked in a low voice.
"The person who trapped us here and wanted to kill me is this old man named Jack in front of you."
"How is this possible? How do you see that? Kona still had a look of disbelief on her face.
The old manager was still standing with his back to me. Didn't move for half a day. Suddenly, he laughed in a low voice, turned his head, and said to me with a gloomy face: "I can't think of it, I really can't think of it! I thought I was meticulous enough, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, but I don't know how you found out......"
Seeing that the old manager confessed, Kona and the princess were even more surprised, and Kona tugged at the corner of my clothes and asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
I glanced at her, took a few steps towards the old manager, and began to explain: "Since the first attack on the way back to the palace, I have found that in this time and space, there are other forces besides us who can act independently to change the trajectory of time, but at first I have never been able to find out who it is. After all, this is the capital city, with a large population, and as long as the other party is mixed in the crowd, it is tantamount to climbing to the sky if we want to find him. So in the subsequent temptation, I have been observing and thinking about the other party's purpose and identity, but because we have gained too little information, we have not gained any big gains, only that the other party wants to kill me very much. And the turning point happened after we entered the palace. That day, when I had caused chaos in the palace in the open, things changed. This shows that my actions have been discovered by that force at that time, that is, the other party is likely to be among the people who appeared in the palace. At first, because the choice of the princess's fiancΓ© would change, my suspicions have always been among the princes who are courting. But then Robert suddenly made a strange move on me, which made me realize that he was really just a puppet. So who else could there be? When we awoke again and appeared in the ruins, the old steward appeared. Of course, there was nothing suspicious about his appearance in itself, but the clock on the bell tower did not turn after twelve o'clock, and remained at this moment. What does this mean? It shows that the historical process of Ding Yuan more than 300 years ago has stayed at this moment forever, and what we experienced after twelve o'clock and what we saw was just an illusion, and if you take a closer look at the surrounding environment, the area of this banquet hall is indeed as real as before, but if you look at the part of the sky in the distance, you will find that the scenery and lines there are actually quite blurred, which shows that there is no real scene there at all, just a fake scene made up artificially. The scenery here is clear, and the surrounding scenery is blurred, doesn't this mean that these phantoms are constructed with this place as the center? And the people who appeared here, except for those guards with stiff movements and unnatural expressions, were the only ones in charge. His actions and words here are so natural that they don't seem to have been conceived at all. This only shows that he really exists in this place, and it is very likely that he is the culprit of all this. β
It's windy again.
The old manager did not respond to my questioning, which made the scene fall silent again, and Kona looked at his back with a look of incredulity, and it took a long time to react, and then ran to the princess's side, and hurriedly pulled her over.
