Night, eleven forty-three o'clock.

At this time, the sky was already pouring rain, thunder was incessant, and silver-white lightning was like an iron tree opening its screen, splitting the entire sky.

However, none of this has anything to do with the people who are already in the house.

Inside the towering minaret, the lights are brilliant.

Jack was stunned. The spotless glass chandelier, the plain tablecloth as clean as white, and the huge long wooden table that can seat hundreds of people, the entire reception venue is simply arranged according to the state banquet.

On the table, the fat goose roasted and yellow, the steak fried just right, the crystal clear pudding, and all kinds of rare delicacies that can be called and unnamed, as well as bottles of fine wine.

Dressed in black and white maid outfits, the maids weave back and forth in the crowd, constantly changing the dishes on the table. Gentlemen in black suits, graceful, holding tall agate wine glasses, shaking the intoxicating mellow bright red in the glasses, and talking to each other politely.

"Is this the drinking party of the upper class bigwigs?"

Jack, who is the heir to generations of poor ghosts, is completely stupid in this gold-obsessed paradise. Everything has changed from active to passive, constantly pouring into Jack's five senses.

"I didn't expect that the second son of the Fox family, one of the four little dragons of Yade, would also come to participate in this reception. (You dare to marry a princess with a second son?) It's almost as good as calling your big brother! ）”

"Hehe, yes, the third young master of the Pige family, it is really unexpected that they can meet here today. (Aren't you just a junior?!) Qualified to say me? ）”

"Since the last time I was selected as the heir of the family, I haven't seen each other for two or three months, right? (Lao Tzu is already the heir of the family, and if you have good qualifications, you better get out of the way!) ）”

"Alas, it's a pity, I don't know that Brother Tai is so busy as the heir, and he didn't even go to the celebration of my appointment as the family treasurer. (Heirs have a fart!) Lao Tzu has grasped the family's financial power! You don't have to look at the face of your family's treasurer to spend money to be reimbursed by your family! ）”

"I wonder which princess the second son has targeted this time? (Give Lao Tzu a letter first, and then take a look at your habits first.) ）”

"Well...... Any princess is beautiful and fragrant, and any princess can do it. What about you, brother? (Still want to put Lao Tzu's mouth?) Will I tell you? Damn it. ）

"The heroes see the same thing, after all, they are all so beautiful, no one can say which one to choose. (!) I also asked rhetorically! The devil will tell you! ）”

Two young gentlemen, dressed in luxurious manners, with friendly smiles on their lips and valuable goblets in their hands, had no smile in their eyes.

It was obviously amiable words, but Jack seemed to see an invisible vindictiveness burning in the two of them.

Mom, these people are so scary!!

Standing in the midst of this group of celebrities, stared at by their scrutinizing gaze, to be honest, as a rural poor sour, Jack's pressure is not ordinary.

You know, Jack is a thief. When he faced these noble upper-class people with his own countryman, the inferiority complex in his heart almost made him breathless. In addition, as a thief, he was stared at by arrogant eyes, which made him feel that he couldn't raise his head.

'If only Green was a tenth of his cheekiness......

Feeling so sorry for himself, Jack came to the corner alone, stood by the windowsill, looked at the rainstorm outside, covered his face and sighed.

Even with Green's funding, Jack also wore a rather elegant dress, but it doesn't mean that the new clothes can hide the temperament of mud legs.

Faced with a honey-bellied sword and a sword in his smile, Jack, a country thief who has never seen the world and is honest, is naturally a little overwhelmed.

I don't know where the bastard Grina ran to. ’

Sticking his hand out of the window and letting the cold autumn rain fall on his hand, Jack's heart couldn't help but worry.

In the afternoon, Green went into the garden and never came out again. In a hurry, Jack and Bell and Tom began to search, but no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find anything, and ran into the garden, but there was nothing inside.

Jack even wondered if Green had left them behind and gone out to play alone.

After searching to no avail, it was not long before the king heard that the king had summoned suitors.

Bell and Tom were only playing in the little uncle's Four-Fortune Palace, and they had no interest in the princess themselves, so they separated from Jack and continued on their quest to find Grimm.

Jack returns to the suitor's gathering place alone.

After the old king had finished his speech, the ball began, and there were only twelve princesses in the ball.

I have to praise that these princesses all have beauty that matches the rumors.

There were only about two hundred suitors, and the king ordered the princesses and every man present to do a dance. It wasn't an easy task, but the princesses did it unexpectedly.

Even Jack was very honored to dance with a princess, although he was only clumsily dragged by the princess, but it was enough to make this poor poor ghost brag for a lifetime.

Soft little hands, beautiful faces, elegant smiles, dancing figures, and the fragrant wind......

Even Jack, who had no concept of the relationship between men and women, was frozen for a moment.

After dancing with all the suitors, the princesses went back to their rooms to rest, sweating profusely, when the old king stepped forward and dropped a bombshell lightly.

"Tonight, the princess will choose twelve out of each of your suitors; I slept in a room with twelve princesses, and the puzzle I wanted would be revealed after the twelve lucky guys entered the room. ”

Sleep in a room with beautiful princesses......

It's not bed-sharing, but it's crazy enough.

So, after the ball, everyone went to the minaret, the place where the drinking party was held, and while eating to replenish the consumption of dancing, they waited for the news to be released at twelve o'clock in the morning.

It's completely a battlefield-like atmosphere.

Jack's heart was a little gloomy, there were more than two hundred suitors, but there were only twelve places.

On the surface, it seems that there is a 1 in 20 probability, but in fact, among the people present, they are all very good gentlemen, and it is the princesses themselves who decide on the candidates.

Aside from those old men in their seventies and eighties, Jack couldn't think of any conditions for himself to be favored by the princess.

So, even if the list hasn't been published yet, I've basically been eliminated.

"Huh? What is that? ”

Sighing, Jack suddenly saw that under the windowsill, in the rainstorm, several shadows were walking towards the position of the spire.

When the soldiers guarding the spire saw these black shadows, they immediately shouted loudly and walked towards them.

Boom Click!!

A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and the lightning briefly illuminated the rainy night, and in Jack's vision, he vaguely saw that among the several dark shadows, walking in the forefront was a man with a great figure.

The man dragged a black greatsword with jagged blades, and when the guard soldiers approached, he waved his hand, and a black light flashed.

The soldier was split in half by evil!!

Suddenly, another guard soldier just wanted to shout, and a hunchbacked old man with a stiff figure suddenly came out of the dark shadow, took out something like a firecracker, and raised his gun, "Bang!" "One shot and his head was blown off!!

Probably because standing on a high place, Jack didn't see the blood at the scene, but the red of the blood gushing out could be faintly seen even in the dark night.

'It's horrible! Is this a murder scene? Those people are coming this way!! What to do, what to do? ’

Squatting on the ground, Jack covered his mouth, his face was full of horror, his heart was in turmoil, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had witnessed murder; also thanks to his squatting blessing, among the dark shadows under the tower, one of the people who looked up at this side did not find him.

The murderers are clearly not good, and they have to be told to everyone. ’

With such a decision in mind, Jack broke into the competitors who were still fighting with each other, and forced his way through the crowd with a slightly rude gesture, making the gentlemen frown frequently.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew, I've got something...... Repay it! ”

Gasping for breath, Jack came up to a soldier standing guard to monitor the suitor, and under his indifferent gaze, he said, "Outside...... ...... outside"

Snort-

Before Jack could finish speaking, a sharp short sword pierced directly through the back of the soldier's head, and the tip of the short sword protruded from the soldier's mouth!!

“……”

Blood sprayed on his face, Jack's eyes almost popped out, and he looked behind the soldier with a frightened gaze, only to see a blonde man in retro leather armor and a bun standing there at some point.

His body was still dripping with rain, and his lifeless dark golden eyes looked indifferently at all the suitors in the field.

Like, looking at a bunch of meat cuts!!
