Chapter 56: The first stage of the strategy has been completed
As mentioned before, Murong Villa is very large, so big that it even encloses a small lake within the walls of the villa - it is a "small lake" rather than a "small pond", although it pays considerable attention to aesthetic and recreational purposes and plants or arranges willows, lotuses, lotus flowers, lakeside pavilions, lake boats and other things, but there are also various fish for the daily consumption of the Murong family, and the size is naturally not too small.
But that's all there is to it, it's a normal little lake from all angles, and there's no such thing as "there's a stone pillar in the center of the lake that leads to the clouds, and there seems to be something looming at the top of the stone pillar...... Well, what if there really is such a strange thing? It can only be the possibility that some idle person from another world has nothing to do and teamed up with a maid in order to pick up girls.
Murong Jiu, who generally knew what was going on, might have the intention to continue to play with her bad temper, but ...... But if she doesn't see 'what the hell is that?' she'll regret it for the rest of her life, right? After all, he followed Zhang Jing's hurried footsteps and followed the guidance of the torch to the lake......
"So who's the target? Nine sisters? Sister Jing? "-By Big Sister
"That person clearly said that he wanted three wives and four concubines, why should the ninth sister and Jing sister be so angry, the second sister reminds you not to be deceived by rhetoric." - by Second Sister
"I've inquired that Lord Leeds is a king in his world...... The concept of three wives and four concubines should not be changed. - by Sixth Sister
"If any man is willing to make this for me...... I admit it no matter how much he cares. "-by Third Sister
"What?!" - by the third brother-in-law
Well, who wouldn't see such a conspicuous thing, except for Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing, who had been staying in the house and deliberately blocking the news at the same time? The lake has long been surrounded by all the members of the Murong family who are still in the villa...... Of course, most of the maids, nurses, and the like can't be approached because of their positions and status.
"This, this ......"
"It's not like that!"
Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu, who became the center of the conversation between the (cousin) sister and the (cousin) brothers-in-law, inevitably blushed, after all, they were just yellow flower girls and had never touched this kind of scene.
"Cough, Jiu'er, Jing'er, you go to see what is going on first...... Master Murong interrupted everyone's words, Zhang Jing is not qualified to care, and about the marriage of his youngest daughter...... Well, the attitude is not clear at the moment, "It seems that if you don't take the first step, we can't open our eyes if we want to." ”
"......" The two looked in the direction of the torch extension, and a stone path from the shore led to the stone pillar, and there seemed to be an entrance below the stone pillar, but that entrance was currently blocked by Leeds's maid who exuded an air of 'I don't want to mess with'.
"That'...... Let's go first, Ninth Sister! ”
Zhang Jing, who didn't like to be in this kind of atmosphere very much, hurriedly pulled up her little cousin and fled quickly through this stone passage that was not too long, and the maid who was originally blocking the entrance had moved to the side of the entrance and allowed them to enter.
"Woo whoa, from this angle - woo whoa!" Zhang Jing, who was standing at the bottom of the stone pillar and looking up, was shocked, but before her exclamation could be published, she was pulled in by Murong Jiu in turn, Zhang Jing didn't feel ashamed, Murong Jiu felt ashamed, especially the maid's unfazed look made her understand that this was a gap in knowledge.
The inside of the pillar is a hollow structure, and there is a spiraling stone staircase on its inner wall, and when you squint your eyes, you can barely see the end of the staircase being the same color as the evening sky.
"Sister Jing."
"Hmm~"
The function of the staircase is to make people follow it up, but don't forget that they are martial arts masters, especially the Murong family, which is most famous for their light skills and hidden weapons, and they can often fly five or six meters with a single jump - so they stand in the middle of the stairs, using the spiral stone staircase as the focus point to step on and jump back, climbing up and down lightly but quickly. However, even if they 'climbed the stairs' in this way, it still took them a lot of time to reach the end of the stairs, which shows the height of the stone pillar.
"Wow! This pillar won't collapse suddenly, will it? Looking down from the end, they felt panicked, even with their light skills, even if they stepped on the air and fell, they could easily recover it, but this astonishing height could inspire their fear just by looking at it.
After all, even with light skills, martial arts masters still don't have wings.
"Ahem." Murong Jiu coughed dryly, trying his best to behave as calm as usual 'as if everything in the world didn't take this girl to heart', put away his gaze to look down, and raised his slender foot and walked up the stairs. However, when she was able to see the true face of the building above, she was temporarily unable to take a step.
It was a world of nothing, ah, the furniture that had been in the Leeds house was ignored...... But ignore it, ignore it, Murong Jiu's eyes are only those transparent crystals that can only be seen by observing with all his strength, yes, there is a layer of transparent things wrapped like a box to form a space!
"This ...... Is it transparent 'glass'? "It seems that there are similar things in this martial arts world, but the production process problem can only produce colored glass products, and colorless and transparent glass products still need to be developed and developed.
"Stepping on this kind of thing...... Is it really okay? Zhang Jing, who said this, had already stepped on it.
Shift the center of gravity, huh? It's okay...... Put the other foot over as well, it's fine...... Jump.
"Don't jump!" Murong Jiu hurriedly stopped, but it was already too late.
“……?” The bold Zhang Jing has already fallen...... Of course, it's fine.
"Whew." Murong Jiu, who always felt that Liuli was very fragile in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to blame his reckless cousin, but when he saw the result, it seemed that he was worried about nothing...... Someone as a demonstration of this bold step out, take two steps, and can't help but look down.
“!!!” X2
The cousin seemed to be frightened in the same way, and hurried to the area of the stone pillar that had been worried about "whether it would collapse suddenly" - there were stones underneath, not 'nothing', and she was more at ease.
However, after taking the first step, the two soon took on a second challenge...... Although he still walked slowly step by step, he was cautious that 'something was wrong with this girl and immediately flew back to the pillar area', but after all, he didn't really run back.
And when they really left their fears behind, they found that there was a sofa with several wooden signs in front of it in the corner of this transparent box, and then there was a person lying on the sofa, and this person had a copy of "Overlord Sword Technique" on his head - who knew it very well.
"............ "When you see someone sleeping here calmly, you walk cautiously step by step, as if you are mentally retarded, isn't it?" Both of them are types with slightly stronger self-esteem, and as soon as the backbone comes up, they pretend to be calm and walk, and they quickly become relieved and bold as they walk.
"Ninth sister, come and see here~~"
“…… Well? ”
There are obviously words on the wooden sign in front of the sofa, and before calling Liz, who doesn't know whether he is asleep or not, the two of them naturally subconsciously read the words on the sign first.
"I don't think I did anything wrong, I was forced by Zhang Jing"
"Please bear with me if you think I'm an eyesore, if I or Sakuya aren't here, this tower doesn't know when it will collapse"
"Although I have taken safety measures, please don't smash the glass with your hands and bear the consequences"
"If you want to enjoy the summer breeze and the best view, please go up to the second floor, but please be careful that people on the first floor can see your ******** when they look up"
"Most importantly, don't disturb me to rest, how long do you think I spent digging rocks and building this thing under the scorching sun, and I'll be responsible for tearing this thing down when you go back!" 》
“…………”
“…………”
Well, the two cousins glanced at each other, let go of some otherworldly man who was tired of being a dog, and without thinking, walked up the staircase made of white glass for conspicuousness.
“!” Sure enough, there is a hot wind with heat in front of you, which is the temperature that should be in summer!
However, at this moment, they are not complaining about the hot wind, because the wind makes them feel that they are no longer in a transparent box...... It's in the sky! The flow of air makes them hallucinate!
Moreover, at this time, they came back to their senses, what position they were in!
The hill around Murong Villa is only a few hundred meters high, after all, this is a summer resort and not a poor country, and this tower is two or three times as tall as a hill! Murong Villa and the mountains are close at hand!
And this is just about to be the time of sunset.
"Ah......h
Murong Jiu always thought that she was knowledgeable, both civil and military, and only Zhang Jing could compare with her in the younger generation, but the appearance of someone made her feel again and again that she was a frog at the bottom of a well with shallow knowledge and no self-awareness.
But at this moment, her unhappiness suddenly disappeared! This is a view that can make people with chicken belly intestines broad-minded!
"It's so pretty......"
Zhang Jing thinks that she has traveled the rivers and lakes, seen real villains and hypocrites, and will not be easily deceived by simple sweet words, but someone whose style is not very close to "gentleman" and "boy" has once again broadened her horizons.
At least at this moment, she was fascinated by the view...... (To be continued.) )
