Chapter 31: The Mirror of Vanity Reappears.

Alucardo didn't fully believe in herself, but at least from now until the end of the ceremony, Elena was confident that he would be on her side without reservation.

Alucardo is the most important part of his life-saving plan.

Now that she has Alucardo's side, her plan finally has no worries.

Soon after, Elena put her mother's hairpin back on and left the room alone. She came to the Great Hall again, glanced at the seventh seat of the seventh table, smiled at the empty seats, and walked towards the corridor without hesitation.

"Counting a hundred numbers, does it really take that long for Nini?" Elena muttered to herself, her footsteps getting closer and closer to her common room.

However, at this moment, a respectful greeting suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Your Royal Highness, beautiful princess, if you guess correctly, you are going to find the little girl holding the teddy bear, right?"

Elena's high heels stopped, tilting her head slightly. I saw that I was standing in front of the third painting on the corridor at this moment.

[Portrait: Shrewd Goblin]

And the goblin in this portrayal is staring at Elena with a pair of treacherous eyes, like a philistine profiteer, with a hint of a playful smile.

Elena opened her mouth slightly.

"Your surprised expression is like you didn't expect a portrait to speak?" The corners of the goblin's mouth cracked wider.

"I really didn't expect it." Elena quickly calmed down and nodded.

This painting has always been mysterious in Elena's impression. Even in the three "future-visible" episodes, it has only appeared once. And it does not appear in the form of a portrait, but in the form of its ontology, the "mirror of illusion".

And now that it has not recovered its original body, it suddenly takes the initiative to talk to herself in the way of a "goblin in the painting", which is enough to show that she triggered some kind of flag of this "chaotic neutral" guy.

Elena turned around gracefully, stood indifferently in front of [Portrait: Shrewd Goblin], and smiled: "Hello, shrewd goblin, I am indeed going to find my blood pact, may I ask if you suddenly stopped me, is there something wrong?" ”

"You can't go to her, beautiful princess." The goblin in the painting seems to be kind enough to say, "The Blood King will be reborn today, and if he finds out that his daughter has become your blood pact, he will immediately turn you into a puddle of fishy blood!" ”

"Blood King......" Elena suddenly frightened, "you say, he will be reborn today?!" ”

"That's right, beautiful princess. The day of his rebirth was set as early as the moment he was born into this world. The goblin in the painting solemnly warned, "So you are dangerous, beautiful princess." If you go to find the Blood Doll right now, then you will always be with her, and the Blood King will be the first to look for her daughter after he is reborn, and by the way, your body will be shattered. ”

"But if you don't go to her, then the Blood Doll will surely count her numbers that will never be counted, until the Blood King comes." The goblin road in the painting.

Elena's breathing grew heavier: "Can I live without going to her?" ”

"Of course!" Goblin affirmed.

"The best thing to do now is for you to flee the castle before the Blood King is resurrected. Three hundred miles west of the castle, there is the Lost Jungle, even if it is a king, once you enter it, you can't think of it. If you can escape there, I believe the Blood King will not dare to come in and find you. But at the price, you will also be lost forever in the jungle, but it's better than dying, you say? Princess? ”

Listening to the kind reminder of the goblin in the painting, Elena only felt trembling.

What's the situation?

The matter of his coming-of-age ceremony has not been completed yet, and a new situation is about to appear!

Is it so hard to live by yourself?

Fortunately, Elena quickly calmed down, because she remembered Aunt Mary's advice the first - the third painting in the gallery, always lying.

So she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and smiled again, "What a perfect suggestion." But why are you helping me? ”

"No, no, no, pretend to be a calm princess, I will never help anyone." The goblin in the painting smiles, "The reason why I'm giving you advice is because I have the Survival Manual from the Lost Forest." If you want to survive in the Lost Jungle, then I think you must need it. ”

"You...... Do you want to do business with me? The corners of Elena's mouth curled.

"Yes, shrewd princess. And my manual is cheap, very cheap. All you need to do is ...... It's just a little hairpin on your head. The goblin in the painting smiled treacherously.

"It's not cheap, goblin boss." Elena smiled and said, "The key to the 'gate' is only a copy of the 'Survival Manual', you are really good at business." ”

"Oh! You are more shrewd than I expected, Your Highness, Princess, your wisdom is like a true goblin. But I don't think anything seems to be that important compared to life, you say, hehe. Not to be outdone, the goblins said.

"That's true, I just want to live." Elena nodded, but asked again in the goblin's expectation, "But why should I trust you?" Do you say that the King of Blood is born again today, and he will be born again today? ”

"You know, not everyone can break through the vanity of time, and I know better than anyone else the day of his rebirth. Please believe that too, Your Highness the Princess. The goblin in the painting affirmed.

The corners of Elena's mouth continued to rise: "Let me guess, the reason why you can break through the falsehood is because you are the 'mirror of vanity', and besides, you are full of lies!" How do you want me to believe a guy who doesn't even dare to show his true face? ”

This time, the goblin's face froze obviously, and the treacherous smile couldn't help but solidify.

"Shrewd princess, you have astonished me. I really don't know, how on earth can you break through my falsehood? ”

This time, the goblin in the painting did not speak again, but instead was replaced by a sharp mouth that suddenly cracked under the frame. Immediately afterward, a row of terror eyes suddenly appeared above the frame, and after a few turns in different directions, they all hit Elena in unison, all shocked.

At this moment, the goblin in the frame disappeared, replaced by a smooth mirror that clearly reflected Elena's face.

"Look! You're really dishonest, your actions and words are full of falsehood, so it's impossible to convince me of you. Elena shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, but our business is going bad." ”

"No, no! Shrewd princess! I'm the most honest mirror in the world! The vain mirror rolled its eyes anxiously, eager to prove itself.
