Chapter 40: I see that your bones are wonderful
On a summer day, under the clear blue sky, a caravan came to Syracuse and stopped at the silver-white lakeside. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I'll give you two gold coins......"
Elven mage Connor handed over the fare to the leader, and then walked over to the silver-haired girl, "Eve-sama, what are you looking at?"
"Mecha. ”
The girl's face was hidden under the veil, and she looked at the mecha standing in the center of the lake, and felt that its design was full of beauty. This is the mecha that the little prince once piloted, after the restoration was completed a year ago, it became the symbol of Syracuse in addition to the self-detonation function, and many tourists who come to Syracuse will go up to experience it, of course - for 100 gold coins.
"Connor, you're a graduate of Syracuse?"
"Yes, is this the first time I've been here, Lord Eve?"
"No...... I had a ...... three years ago."
The girl brushed her windswept silver hair, and although her face could not be seen clearly, her movements were very attractive—Connor withdrew his gaze, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Although the silver-haired girl had never gone to school, she was the youngest major in the Elven Kingdom in a hundred years, she was only twenty years old, but she looked like a sixteen-year-old girl - although the forest elves had lost their eternal life, their youthful appearance would remain for hundreds of years, and it was difficult to determine their true age from their faces.
"Eve-sama, let's get into the city early, Anne should be done. Connor said.
Eve nodded slightly, and the two of them then walked towards the gate of the Paladin Academy, which was crowded with people, and those who wanted to enter the city had to go through the formalities.
"The last time I came here, I didn't have to go through the formalities. ”
"This rule was implemented a year and a half ago, and after the legend of the little prince spread, girls from all over the world ran over, and at the same time attracted many ill-intentioned people, and the queen ordered that the inspection should be strengthened. ”
Connor explained to Eve that Eve had seen young girls gathered in the doorway, not only elves, but also humans, dwarves, gnomes, and even other races—the legend of the sleeping prince was so powerful that it attracted so many girls.
"Our little prince is really charming. Eve laughed.
"Not really!" Connor said enviously, "the queen has sold the goods related to the little prince all over the world, and the most popular song in the kingdom of Victoria is now the tinkling of the throat, and even the harpies of the savage forest have begun to collect statues of the little prince." ”
As he said this, Eve saw a human merchant on the side of the road haggling with the elves.
"This projection gem is one for each of our female mages in Sky City, and you want to pay 2,000 gold coins, rob it!"
"You guys are pirated, this is a limited gem that the queen personally supervises the production, high-definition, if you don't want it, I'll sell it to others!"
"Don't, the price can be negotiated again......"
There are many bargains like this on the road - the queen has made a fortune in recent years because of the little prince, not only bought back the priesthood from the Lord of Light, but even gave pocket money to each priest student, which greatly increased the number of children in the kingdom who wanted to become priests.
"Why is that little sun in danger, but the queen is in business......"
Eve was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it, because another subordinate returned.
"Mistress Eve!" waved to the bubbly Anne, an assassin, intelligence officer, and fiancée who grew up with Connor's childhood sweetheart, "I'm going to introduce you to one of the noblest girls in Syracuse!"
Eve had already seen a demure girl behind Anne, the girl was also wearing a veil, and she had a pair of beautiful eyes like emeralds, and Eve thought slightly: "Anne, you actually know the future princess." ”
The girl looked at Eve in surprise: "You know me?"
Eve shook her head: "You are the most honorable girl in Syracuse. ”
This is a very simple judgment, among the girls of Syracuse, the most noble is the future princess - she is the queen's only disciple, and it is said that the queen's business adviser is also the queen's business adviser, and some people say that the queen's idea to give the students pocket money came from this future princess.
And it is normal for the princess to wear a veil in order not to let people find out her identity.
"Why did Her Highness the Princess, take the initiative to find us?" asked Eve, if she didn't think that such a noble person would be pulled over by her own subordinates for no reason.
The girl looked at Eve, the silver-haired sister seemed to be very smart.
"I've heard that you are elves who have returned from the front, and you are very powerful. The girl said, "I want to ask you to join me in the challenge and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Eve looked at Annie, and Anne was a little weak: "Eve-sama, aren't we going to find the lord......?"
"Annie!" Connor scolded his fiancée, "We have important information to report to your lordship, how can we delay time!"
"It's not a waste of time!" Anne raised her fist: "It's everyone's responsibility to save the little prince, you see that the human girls have come to save him!"
However, she just wanted to play, and there were not a thousand but five hundred girls who went to the castle to save the little prince in three years, and even the dragon girls came to challenge, but none of them succeeded, only a few people saw the little prince's sleeping face in the penultimate level, but no one could pass the last level.
Eve knew very well that she would not be better than those girls, and that going to the castle would only be in vain.
"Her Royal Highness the princess wants to save the little prince?" However, she was curious about the girl: "You often find others to team up like this?"
The girl nodded: "I once challenged the castle with forty girls, but none of them succeeded. ”
“...... Then you've sent invitations to at least four hundred girls. ”
Eve sighed slightly, the girl seemed to like the little prince quite much.
The reason is simple, the way to wake up the prince is to kiss, and the girl who succeeds in the challenge is likely to become the princess candidate, that is, the girl's competitor. The girls who challenge the castle will see her as an enemy, and it's hard to imagine someone teaming up with her.
And it doesn't look like the girl will hide her identity and deceive others......
"So, I want to ask you a question. Eve lowered her voice, "Is the Sleeping Prince an elaborate advertisement?"
She had always felt discordant since she came to Syracuse, and now she had figured it out - it was too peaceful here, there was a commercial atmosphere everywhere, and the queen couldn't think about it right to use the crisis of the little prince to do business, could the legend of the sleeping prince be an elaborate commercial?
The girl's face was full of surprise, it was the first time she had discovered such a smart person. It took me more than a year to discover the truth, and Eve guessed almost as soon as she guessed it.
"Maybe she can make it......" the girl thought, and then nodded, "It's not an advertisement, but it's really a well-planned game, made by His Royal Highness the Prince himself." ”
Eve was dumbfounded: "Since he did it himself, wouldn't it be better to end it by himself?"
"No......" The girl's eyes were red: "His Royal Highness the Prince has always been very serious about playing games, he said that if someone wakes him up, he will never end the game by himself - but now the game is different from his design, Her Royal Highness the Queen has prepared a very difficult challenge, and no one has successfully challenged at all." ”
“...... Why did the queen do this?"
Anne couldn't help but exclaim, but Eve understood a little that there was also a bad legend of the queen on the battlefield, and she was not surprised at all.
"We must wake up His Royal Highness...... He must be tired of playing, but he can't get out of bed, it must be very painful!"
The girl's eyes were teary, and a man in a black cloak next to her nodded repeatedly: "That's right, yes! Three years, he wants to go crazy when he wants to get up!"
Eve and the others were startled, when did he appear, and how was it silent.
"Who are you?"
Connor stood in front of the two girls.
With a "click", the man in black reached out to block the dagger that Anne had stabbed at him, and then took a step back.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, heroes, I see that you have wonderful bones, and you are definitely the best choice to save the little prince!" The black-clothed cloak handed out a booklet: "I have a cheat book--- "Castle Challenge Strategy 3.0", and when I see that I am destined for you, I will sell it to you for 1,000 gold coins!"
Connor looked down, "Pei Ye's Guide to Food?"
“...... I'm sorry, I got it wrong!" The man in black hurriedly took back the booklet and took out Strategy 3.0 again: "That was the first book my brother published just now, I bought it to see how he died, this is the real secret book." ”
