After just a second, the eyes staggered, and the big star did not stop and looked at more guests.

Will the second act be started on Recovery Day?

Zhou Jinru recalled the opening plot that took place the night before, including the dice that changed his luck, and in the melodrama, there seemed to be something extraordinary.

"Melantha, was there a mysterious legend in Victoria two hundred years ago?"

"Mysterious legends?"

She recalled for a moment and said seriously: "There are indeed some legends, most of which tend to be thrillers, it was an era when the source stone industry was in the ascendant, and it was normal to circulate some hunting stories. ”

Stories that can be passed down to 200 years later generally have archetypes, including but not limited to the curiosity that has been collected into a book.

Zhou Jinru took a sip of the drink, and he looked at Isabella again, if it was just to fill in the world view, the magical items that appeared in the plot were not to be feared.

Or is it the same sentence, can the villain in the movie still climb out of the screen?

After standing for a while, the granddaughter of the Duke of York came over and asked Zhou Jinru pitifully if she could lend her Melantha a few minutes, she had a lot to say.

Zhou Jinru was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but the girl next to him said, "Okay, just a few minutes." ”

Seeing the two beautiful girls leave, he turned and his eyes fell on a plate of tender fish.

Zhou Jinru just ate some, and the taste of the fish is not bad.

"Zhou!"

A lady's voice came from behind, it was a strange aristocratic lady, and Zhou Jinru was sure that he had no intersection with the other party.

"Ma'am?"

The soft-haired lady covered her mouth lightly and smiled, "I just heard about you from Miss Elena, could you please do me a favor?" ”

In order to reduce the trouble, Zhou Jinru pondered for a few seconds and shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, I can't make my female companion wait too long." ”

"It won't be too long, we have a companion leaving temporarily, and the table is missing one, could you please fill the gap?" It's only a few minutes, so it won't delay you for long. ”

The companion she was referring to was Elena who had gone away with Melansha.

The ladies are all from the western region of Lentinium.

Even when they are not seen in public, their husbands and children attend important events.

Zhou Jinru glanced back, and he couldn't find Melansha at the end of his gaze, he exhaled and raised his head: "Okay, if it's just a game, I'm willing to do it for me." ”

The beautiful lady lifted the hem of her skirt and thanked her solemnly:

"Thank you."

They walked through the banquet area one after the other to the entertainment area shrouded in soft lighting, where several ladies in gorgeous or graceful evening dresses were sitting at a card table, and to Zhou Jinru's surprise, the card table was not filled with cards or other toys with gambling elements, but an oversized imitation parchment map, and large and small cards were placed in the corner of the table.

Is this a running group game?

"Zhou, you look surprised?"

Zhou Jinru admitted: "To be honest, I was a little surprised. ”

He didn't say anything more, leaving more room for everyone present to fill in the details.

The lady who had led him here blinked, "You can call me Mapel, well, Madame Mapel." ”

"Mrs. Marpel, you haven't introduced the rules of the game yet."

The lady sitting on the far right couldn't help but say.

She holds a card in her hand, which seems to correspond to an identity.

Through a simple understanding, Zhou Jinru confirmed that this is a running group game, which has been very popular in Victoria's aristocratic circles for a while now, but in the eyes of these ladies, it is more like a role-playing adventure game, with a strong sense of freshness.

"Zhou, you can draw an identity card, and we'll add a new companion."

Zhou Jinru looked at the pile of cards in the box, thinking that this should be the deluxe enhanced version of the card pool, which is higher than the standard pool.

He took out one casually, and when he saw the specific identity, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "Lucky manlet." ”

"Lucky."

The lady who had urged Madame Marpel to introduce the rules repeated the prefix of the card, and her companion laughed, "It's not bad, lucky affixes don't appear very often, and good things usually happen." ”

Good things do.

Zhou Jinru looked at the special effect of the identity card, and luckily strengthened the effect of throwing points, he could throw two points in a row, taking the maximum value.

But why is it still a valet?

At the thought of this title, he could feel the green tendons on his forehead jumping and jumping.

"On a windy day, Margaret walked into the old library and opened a dusty ancient book, the obscure words on the yellowed paper seemed to become clear."

The lady named Margaret began to judge, picking up a six-sided die on a large map and throwing it on the table, which spun a few times and stopped at three o'clock.

"Margaret struggled with the ancient books, and she didn't even notice that the lights in the library were extinguished."

Zhou Jinru's brows furrowed slowly, this luck is too bad, and he is only about to enter the final settlement stage at three o'clock?

In general, the library room, the secret room, and the books containing ancient knowledge are prone to bad endings.

"Due to the weather, the manservant who was patrolling the manor noticed something strange about the library, he walked quickly to the door, pushed it open, and he saw ......"

Ms. Marpel placed the six-sided dice in front of Zhou Jinru and chuckled, "It's your turn." ”

Zhou Jinru pinched the dice, wondering if he would enter the settlement with the lady Margaret if he threw a big failure.

He threw the dice, and the white dice fell on the table, and he turned over a few low points with difficulty, and finally presented a reasonable number in front of everyone, five points.

"You have one more chance."

Zhou Jinru, who had the blessing of lucky modifiers, held the dice again, and this time, he paused for two seconds, his eyes locked on the dice in his palm, and the confusion in his eyes became thicker and thicker.

Does it look like the luck manipulating dice in a sitcom, or is it his delusion?

Thinking about it, he did not hesitate and immediately threw the dice, six points, a big success.

Little by little, Mrs. Marpel's smiling eyes were replaced by astonishment, and Mrs. Margaret opened her red lips and was speechless for a long time.

"Your luck is so good, it's really lucky."

The person who spoke was a lady with short gray hair, who was known as Mrs. Green.

Flipping through a thick book of running rules, she carefully interpreted: "When the manservant pushed open the door of the library, the wind blew away the thick clouds in the sky, and the golden sunlight spilled onto the ground, through the glass window of the library, and sprinkled on Mrs. Margaret, who was dizzy from reading, she decided to give up continuing to interpret, and chose to go out and ride a horse for a walk, and change the environment." ”

"Awesome."

Mrs. Marpel chuckled.

Zhou Jinru took a deep breath and showed a smile: "It's so interesting." ”

Mrs. Green, who looked away from the rule book, said sincerely: "We lose our companions for a variety of reasons almost every time we start, one moment we succeed in getting important items, and the next time we are more likely to fail, and the after-effects of success cause good things to become bad things, or even worse things." ”

During their exchange, Elena, who had left earlier, came back with Melansha, and Zhou Jinru's running group journey came to an end for the time being, and when he got up, he used a sentence as a parting word: "Ladies, there is a saying in my hometown, as long as you participate in a probability event, you will inevitably usher in failure." ”

"It's just a game."

"No, I think you're right, Zhou."

Syllable.

Mrs. Green, who closed the thick rule book, stood up, although she was wearing high heels, her height was less than Zhou Jinru's chin, and the lady walked up to him with a strange emotion in her eyes: "In the game, there are only two kinds of people who can survive to the end and usher in a good ending, one is the lucky one, and the other is the one who does not delve into it, it can be seen that you are very interested in this kind of game, hehe, I have a lot of time during the recovery day festival." ”

Zhou Jinru didn't give any answer, and bowed slightly: "Ladies, don't accompany you." ”

He left with Melansha, who had gone and returned.

Mei Lansha, who heard the conversation just now, grabbed Zhou Jinru's hand and said nervously: "Doctor, fortunately you didn't agree to her request!" ”

Zhou Jinru shook his head, refusing was an act he would definitely make, no matter what the other party's intentions were, he didn't intend to leave any intersection.

Mei Lansha was afraid that the doctor would not know, so she looked around a few times, and said in a low voice: "Doctor, if any lady wants to see you alone, you must not agree, let alone go to the meeting alone. ”

"Why?"

The girl's eyes flickered: "Because, they may have taken a fancy to you, in the aristocratic circle of Victoria, ladies often use stamp collecting as a synonym for this kind of behavior, do you want to be stamped?" ”

Zhou Jinru: "......"

It's one thing to be talented in this area, it's another to be treated like a collector.

If it weren't for Melansha saying it, he really didn't take it seriously, so it can be seen that it is already a great luck to be able to escape from the tiger's den in Longtan just now.

"Am I lucky?"

In this intimate salon, he never saw Silver Ash and Sky Fire again, these two seemed to be short-lived, and the Duke of Edward was rarely seen.

Late at night, Melansha retired to the Duke and left the venue with Zhou Jinru on the grounds of physical discomfort.

The moment she walked out of the manor, she felt much more relaxed, and even her breathing became smoother.

Zhou Jinru looked at the ruddy girl, thinking that you can feel so relaxed because you don't have to wear a mask.

The Rose Sword Saint was not suitable for such an environment, she could hold a sword and fight the enemy to the death, but she could not adapt to the gathering among the nobles.

"Shall we go back now?"

Melansha asked cautiously.

The glint in the girl's eyes indicated that she was now energetic, and that on the day of recovery, there should be a better place to go than to go home.

"Not for the time being, since it's already in Lentinium, we should integrate into the festival."

Zhou Jinru lowered his head, looked at his tuxedo, looked at Melansha's evening dress, and said with a smile: "I hope there is a masquerade ball on the street." ”

……

……

In the old town of Lentinium, opposite the church of St. Martin, Pigeon Square is hosting a costume ball with many participants.

People in fancy dress roam the crowded streets, lights of various colors illuminate the moving stage, and burlesque street performers perform a ridiculous and exaggerated action.

"In this way, we are the most normal."

The man in the tuxedo pulls the girl in the evening dress so that the two are not separated by the sea of people.

Melantha pointed ahead and shouted, "There's a circus there!" ”

Zhou Jinru looked in the direction she pointed, and a clown standing on a high platform stepped on a unicycle, constantly throwing three orange balls with both hands.

In fact, he agreed to come to the circus with Grani, and now he is with Melanza.

No need to buy tickets, no need to queue, follow the crowd into the circus, and in the midst of the noise and noise, they stand under the stage, watching the animal trainer who directs the animals to jump over the fire ring.

"See that street performer carving fruit with a sword, I'm doing that kind of work in sitcoms."

Zhou Jinru held Melansha's hand tightly, and he suspected that as soon as he let go, the girl next to him would rush to the stage, snatch the long sword of the street performer, and perform in person.

"There's a merry-go-round over there."

In order to distract her, Zhou Jinru had to take the initiative, otherwise it was really possible for Mei Jiansheng to become a member of the circus......

"Okay, let's go do the merry-go-round."

The two walked through the crowd and walked to the merry-go-round, but because there were too many tourists around, they couldn't take it for a while, so they had to go to a nearby cold drink stall to buy some ice cream.

"Two ice creams."

"Okay."

Zhou Jinru said a few words casually, reached out and took out his wallet, and when he was taking out the money, he happened to raise his head and see the owner of the ice cream stand:

A pair of long white fluffy ears stand above his head, black hairpins hang from his ears, a hat with a strawberry pattern is worn on the top of his head, and an apron with cute animal motifs is encircled.

"How are you?!"

"How are you?!"

The two said in unison.

Melansha was instantly alert, and found that standing behind the mobile ice cream truck was actually Frost Star, a cadre who integrated the movement, or Frost Star, who had changed clothes!

She subconsciously reached out to touch the long sword, and it took her fingers to move in the air a few times before she realized that she was wearing an evening gown, and she didn't have a weapon with her at all, and it was not appropriate to take out a weapon on such an occasion.

"What are you seeing, haven't you ever seen an ice cream seller?"

Someone who was transporting the ingredients looked over and subconsciously turned around and was about to run.

"Frost Leaf! Come here! ”

Zhou Jinru shouted, and the little fox who was also wearing an apron shrank his neck.

Ice cream chef Shuangxing's eyes became more and more unkind, and he secretly clenched his fists.

"Doctor's ......"

Frostleaf made an inaudible voice and looked at him almost pleadingly.

Zhou Jinru's gaze swept around the two of them a few times, and he cleared his throat: "Let's get a discount." ”

Bang!

Frost Star slammed his fist on the counter, slammed the pots and pans, and said in a deep voice: "Small business, no discounts!" ”
