Chapter 175: Deep Dream
Night still came.
The situation got worse, and when Yang Jian opened his eyes, the entire village was pulled into a dream.
But none of this has anything to do with Anna, she appears in a different place again.
It was apparently a bedroom, lavishly decorated, and Anna herself sat at the dresser.
The smooth mirror surface shows Anna's delicate and beautiful face, but it is slightly different from her modern one.
It is more youthful and immature, and it is also a little shorter.
On the surface, she was sitting here putting on makeup, but in reality, none of the bottles and jars on the table had been opened.
Instead, there was a book, spread out, with a blank piece of paper sandwiched inside.
"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune......"
The second time she saw this honorific name, Anna was completely unfazed.
The Fool is also one of the tarot cards, and so is the Empress.
If that empress card represents herself, does that mean that she and this fool not only belong to the same camp, but also have a close relationship?
"Bang bang."
There was a soft knock on the bedroom door, and the voice of a middle-aged woman came:
"Anna, it's time to go out, tonight is Earl Hall's dinner, but don't be late."
Earl Hall?
Some unusual memories flashed through Anna's mind, this was one of the most prominent nobles in the Kingdom of Rune, and countless people were squeezing their heads to get some connections.
My own family probably belongs to one of these "countless people".
"A girl from a noble family?"
Anna opened a jewelry box in front of her.
Empty?
Open the second one again, and it's still empty.
Continuing to open the others, there were only a few ornaments lying down.
If you look at it all over the body, it's just one or two sets.
"It turned out to be a down-and-out nobleman...... There were many such families in those days......
Anna decided to check it out.
A meeting of the earls may be very informative.
But before she could do that, she had to look at something else.
In your bedroom, you may be hiding some secrets.
Since you have come to the dusty memory, you have to take this opportunity to look for more, it is rare to have such an opportunity.
Although the bedroom is large, there are not many furnishings.
Luxury is mainly reflected in the fixed decoration, but the furniture is very simple, perhaps it has been sold a lot.
There are traces of cleaning on the floor, but it is not very clean.
Anna walked over to the bed and crouched down.
There was a noticeable build-up of dust at the foot of the bed.
The cleaning staff in this house is not enough, and it can only be roughly cleaned, and there are many loopholes in the details.
This makes it even more impossible to clean under the bed.
If you want to hide something, under the bed is the safest place.
The parents of this body must be the kind of broken nobles who want to die to save face, and they will never bend down to turn over such a place under the bed.
Anna lifted the sheets, and sure enough, there was something underneath.
She saw beakers, iron boxes, a few notebooks, test tubes, kerosene lamps, and the like.
"If this man wasn't doing his own chemistry experiments...... I'm afraid it's just a potion concoction......"
Anna's heart is complicated, most of the little girls at this age are not deeply involved in the world, and the family is not good, but they can get in touch with the extraordinary world, the devil knows how, and even her hands-on ability may not be able to guarantee that the correct potion will be concocted.
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Anna, are you alright?"
The urging outside the door was even more urgent.
Anna got up from the ground, dusted the corner of her skirt, and pretended to have just cleaned up to open the door.
Seeing that her daughter finally came out slowly, the middle-aged woman began to babble to her husband again: "You, you, all ask you to rent a bigger carriage, otherwise people will have to say this and that, last time the Villefort family said that they wanted to marry Anna......
A hint of disgust flashed in Anna's eyes.
In order to maintain the dignity of the so-called aristocracy, even if it is to sell his daughter, he will not hesitate.
No wonder she had those things hidden under her bed.
Becoming an extraordinary is probably the only way for her to escape her fate.
Anna didn't quarrel about anything, she didn't want to break the normal development, she wanted to see what exactly happened next.
Sitting in a rented carriage, the family arrived at the dinner site on time.
Led by the servants, they walked through the gate into the hall as if from night to dawn.
Above is a huge crystal chandelier that illuminates the hall, and a circular staircase on either side encloses a circular area, and in the middle of the gate is a white staircase, as if waiting for someone to walk up, or for an angel to come down.
At a glance, there are neatly arranged tables and chairs, and guests dressed extraordinarily, shining necklaces, delicate earrings, and all kinds of rare ornaments that cannot be named.
Worthy of being one of the richest and most powerful people in the Kingdom of Rune, Count Hall's family background can be seen, and it can be seen from the expressions on the faces of Anna's parents that even when the family is not in decline, dinner parties of this specification are rarely attended.
Around the hall, musicians in period costumes stood tall and orchestral instruments played the tunes of the seats.
There were all kinds of alcoholic drinks and silver cutlery on the table, and the nobles gathered in small circles to talk and laugh, occasionally using some drinks and desserts to fill their stomachs before the host came.
Anna didn't see any important people, maybe because everyone knew that their family had long since declined, and they didn't know where to get the invitation, and no one took the initiative to talk to them.
"It's boring to be self-deprecating, and standing here in embarrassment, isn't it still sinful?"
At this time, there was a sound from the top of the stairs, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and most of the guests stopped what they were doing.
The host of the dinner party came, and all the eyes of everyone present were in the same direction, and they all showed a smile on their faces, welcoming their arrival.
Anna also followed the gaze of the guests, and at the front was a gentleman with a soft temperament, wearing a dark tuxedo, two beautiful mustaches, and blue eyes full of friendly smiles, but the loose muscles, bulging belly, and the beginning of obvious nasolabial folds ruthlessly ruined the handsomeness of his youth.
Beckland's biggest banker, the Earl of Hall in East Chestonshire, is known to everyone, and you can see his picture even if you don't watch the news much, even just passing by.
He was followed by his wife and children, the most striking of which was a girl with shiny blonde hair and a supple drape, dressed in a long white dress with golden patterns, and her green eyes as clear and beautiful as the purest jewels, and as deep as the sea, which made people unconsciously indulge in her charm.
Her facial features are pure and difficult to describe, flawless, and her temperament is elegant and pure.
