Chapter 88: The Red Death's Masquerade (7)
Although Prince Prospero was desperate, he suddenly thought of the young man in front of him, looked at Duan with a hopeful gaze and said, "You mean, you will help me?" ”
Prince Prospero asked with some uncertainty, although the strength of the young man in front of him was not comparable to that of ordinary humans, he still did not dare to believe that this young man could help him, because it was a demon who wanted his life, a demon with supernatural powers.

Duan Zheng naturally heard the meaning of Prince Prospero's words, and he said noncommittally: "It depends on your sincerity, you should also find out, I have the ability that ordinary humans do not have, although I dare not say that I can definitely protect your life, but at least I am fifty percent sure that you will not die." ”
When Prince Prospero heard the young man in front of him say this, it was like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, and he was speechless with excitement for a while.
It wasn't until Duan kept seeing that this guy didn't react and thought he was scared silly, so he touched him with his hand: "Hey! Are you okay! As long as you trust me, you are 50% sure that your life will be safe. ”
Hearing Duan's constant urging voice, Prince Prospero reacted at once, and exclaimed excitedly: "If what you said is true and can save my life, then of course I am the first to look forward to you, how can I not trust you." ”
"You have to listen well!"
Duan continued to say in a low voice: "I can't guarantee that you won't die 100%, I'm only fifty percent sure, you think about it yourself, we have a fair deal." I have a good habit of being a person who likes fair trade, you have what I need, and I save your life, it's as simple as that. ”
Prince Prospero also came to his senses at this time, but after careful consideration he made a decision, whether he was ten or fifty percent sure, he needed the help of this young man.
If he refuses, I am afraid that he will really die, and it seems that the only way out now is this young man in front of him, and he himself has nothing to bargain with.
Prince Prospero made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated, and said resolutely: "Listen to me, I beg your Excellency to protect me, we can reach this deal, and all the news of the Red Death Demon will be told in the next place, and there will be no concealment, if there is any violation, I will fall into endless hell forever." ”
"It's best this way, we're just doing a fair deal, you don't have to worry about it at all, I have one of the biggest shortcomings as a person, which is to keep my promises." Duan kept looking at the heavy oath made by Prince Prospero, and said lightly, he didn't like to make any oaths to others, and he didn't like to hear what oaths others made to himself, he believed in eternal interests.
Duan Ji finally settled this gentleman, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, now he has a little bit of an eyebrow for the Red Death Demon, so he doesn't have a clue at all, and he tries his luck indiscriminately.
"Haha!"
Duan continued to let go of the things in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be much more active, and said excitedly: "Your Royal Highness Prince, are you still letting the guests stand here now?" We weren't supposed to have afternoon tea anymore, it didn't seem like a suitable place to be. ”
"Oh!"
Prince Prospero patted his head and said in annoyance: "This is really an oversight, and I haven't asked your Excellency for your name?" If you don't mind, please go to the despicable Humble House and enjoy our dance tonight. ”
"That's great!"
Duan continued to show an expression of approval, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, you can just call me Duan Continuous, let's go in and discuss it in detail, this is really not a good place to talk." ”
Prince Prospero nodded, respectfully invited Duan in, and when he was about to follow in, he suddenly saw the iron gate falling to the side, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come, come, get out of here." ”
As soon as Prince Prospero finished speaking, a richly dressed guard ran over and looked at his master with a smile on his face, like a pug waiting for his master's reward.
"You bastard!"
Prince Prospero kicked the guard on the body, kicking the guard to the ground and shouting angrily: "What are you doing, didn't you see the iron door on the wall falling?" If I don't see the iron gate intact before sunset, then you don't have to come back, and stay with those who are sick forever! ”
"Yes...... yes!"
The guards stood up tremblingly, smiling flatteringly, and when they saw their master leave, they quickly called for people to repair the broken iron gate.
When Duan continued to enter the inside of the temple, he found that there was a cave inside, and there were several sets of large-scale palaces in the entire temple, and there were a total of seven rooms in the palace.
And unlike the suites in the general palace, as long as the middle door is pushed open to both sides and pushed to the root of the wall, the whole suite will be unobstructed.
And here, because of the prince's ingenious hobby, the houses were so untidy that every twenty or thirty paces there was a sharp corner. At every corner, there is a novelty, with a high, narrow Gothic window between the left and right walls, and a cloister surrounding the palace.
The windows are all stained glass in different colours, in line with the main colour palette of the interior decoration of each house.
Take the east room, for example, where the blue decorations are hung, but the second room is fuchsia and the window panes are fuchsia, and the third room is all green and the windows are green.
The furniture and light in the fourth room are orange and yellow, the fifth is all white, the sixth is all violet, and the seventh room is covered with black velvet draperies from the ceiling to the four walls, which are dragged on top of each other on top of each other on the carpet of the same color and material.
But there was only one room that was decorated in a different color from the others, and the window panes here were scarlet, red like thick blood, which was terrifying.
At the same time, Duan constantly discovered another characteristic of these houses, that is, there was not a single lamp or candlestick among these decorations. However, in the cloister of the house, on the opposite side of each window rests a large heavy incense burner.
There is a fire bowl in these incense burners, and the light emitted through the stained glass illuminates the room, such a strange decoration, it is estimated that only His Royal Highness, who likes to play around, can come up with such an ingenious method.
Prince Prospero couldn't help but look proud when he saw Duan constantly looking at his masterpiece, and said to Duan Cheng quite complacently: "Your Excellency Duan Continuous, look at how my houses are decorated, have you ever seen a house like mine in the outside world, and I dare not say anything else, in this country, there is no house designer who can compare with my design creativity." ”
At this time, Duan Zhu's opinion of this gentleman prince has changed a little, this guy is not all idle, this is his own heartfelt admiration.
"It's really good, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince's taste to be really fresh and eclectic, such a peculiar design, I have never heard of it elsewhere."
When Prince Prospero heard Duan Continuous's praise, he was also very excited for a while, as if he had found a confidant, and eagerly introduced his other designs to Duan Continuously, and the whole person was completely free of the cowardice just now.
Duan constantly saw that this guy's interest was so high, and he couldn't afford to pour another basin of cold water on this guy's self-esteem.
Besides, he really wanted to see what special attainments this unqualified prince, who cared no more about his country and his people, had any special attainments in this regard.
In this way, Duan and Prince Prospero wandered around this monastery, and from time to time they made a point of remarks about some ingenious designs, and the scene seemed to be extremely harmonious for a while.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince is really inviting a close friend to observe his masterpiece together; And Duan Zhuan, at this time, is also like a friend who came to a friend's house as a guest, carefully watching the strange buildings of his friend's house. (To be continued.) )
