The band played waltz, and in the gorgeous and empty hall, men extended invitations to women one after another, and beautiful noble girls fluttered to the dance floor like butterflies.

Where Lin Jing was standing, he was soon the only one left.

When a nobleman wants to ask him to dance, he will always be persuaded by the lady next to him, saying that his reputation is terrible.

Bella clutched her fan and poured herself a glass of champagne angrily.

Lin Jing looked at her in fear, and comforted her: "Sister Bella, don't be angry, I broke my foot in the garden just now, and I can't dance."

Bella put down her glass and sneered: "Whether someone invites you or not is completely different from whether you can dance. These women are as annoying as rats in the gutter. They used to be jealous of your beauty, and now they are mad at you."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Helena Shi Shiran walked over from the dance floor again, her green eyes were full of smiles: "Christine, why are you still standing here alone."

Bella mocked bitterly: "It's none of your business."

Helena: "Bella, why are you so excited? I'm talking to Christine. Does she have a long mouth? I need your answer."

Fortunately, the arrival of a person dispelled their conversation.

"Miss Christine, do I have the honor of asking you to dance?"

John strode over, tall and burly, his eyes fell on Lin Jing like an eagle.

The three were stunned.

Although John looks a little ferocious, his clothes and swords all show his noble status.

Sister Bella finally loosened her hand holding the fan, smiled triumphantly, and looked at Helena contemptuously.

Helena's face was gloomy, and then she smiled like a flower: "I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid my friend Christine can't agree."

Bella yelled angrily: "Helena." If Christine didn't care about her all night and didn't dance a dance, then there would be all kinds of remarks to slander her in Ebilon tomorrow.

Helena ignored her: "Christine already has someone she likes, and the whole city knows it. Isn't it?"

Lin Jing stopped paying attention to them when John came over.

The burly man was backlit, with a decent smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, licking his skin like a poisonous snake's Nobuko.

Lin Jing's whole body was tense, and Helena's words were heard in his ears.He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, smiled and said softly, "Yes, Sister Helena."

The whole city knew he had someone he liked.Nacirael, help me.

"I'm sorry sir, but I cannot accept your invitation."

"I have someone I want to invite."

After he finished speaking, he put down his wine glass with a smile, and walked to another part of the palace with his skirt in hand.

Both Helena and John froze.

Bella yelled angrily, "Christine!"

It's just that the girl doesn't seem to have heard of it.

The golden light outlines the corners of the skirt, and the pure white looks like waves. Lin Jing's pace is getting faster and faster, and the dress is flying, revealing the slender and delicate ankles.

Pushing aside the crowd, the girl with black hair and brown eyes walked up to the star-studded bard.

Beside him were countless eyes that looked at him in amazement.

The sound of playing music seems to have quieted down at this moment.

Lin Jing met his silver-blue eyes, nervously but bravely: "Cyril, can I ask you to dance?"

The whole place was silent.

Lin Jing thought he would be rejected—of course it would be better to be rejected, because he couldn't dance, just to avoid that John who was chasing after him.

If the reputation is bad, let it be bad, anyway, the character design is not broken.

But Cyril looked at him silently for a long time, and he sighed when he whispered all kinds of ugly words next to him.

After a long time, probably to avoid his embarrassment, the silver-haired young man lowered his eyes helplessly: "My honor."

People around: "!!!"

Lin Jing: "???"

He was dragged onto the dance floor with a dazed look on his face.

The melody of "The Blue Danube" is gentle and moving.

Lin Jing looked terrified, and spoke first: "No, Cyril, my foot is injured."

Cyril: "I know."

Lin Jing: "I can't dance."

Cyril's eyes were serious: "Everyone is looking at you."

Lin Jing closed his mouth.

As a boy, Lin Jing would not be embarrassed to dance with another boy.

The key is that he can't dance, especially the women's step in high heels.Advance and retreat to tease, give way and rotate, he is slow in everything.

So bumps, bumps and bumps often happen.

Cyril endured for a long time before calmly asking: "Christine, are you taking revenge?"

"No." Lin Jing was so embarrassed that he wanted to fight the second generation of Brother Scar one-on-one.

Cyril said, "Relax and chat."

He put his hand on Lin Jing's waist, and in the interval of the melody, the silver hair and the girl's white dress intertwined into a painting.

Lin Jing: "What are you talking about?"

Cyril: "Talk about that day."

Lin Jing was very confused.

Cyril's tone seemed to be only discussing the weather: "Sorry, I was scared at that time, and I didn't mean to embarrass you."

This ah, it doesn't matter.Anyway, it wasn't me who was embarrassed.

Lin Jing said: "You are not wrong, I was rude."

Cyril smiled, and at the end of the dance, gave Lin Jing a brooch, golden, with layers of roses, dignified and elegant, and each petal was exquisitely carved.

"Thank you."

Lin Jing held it in the palm of his hand with a dazed expression.

The bell rang for the first time, signaling the end of the ball.

Lin Jing hurried to the garden while John was chatting with a group of nobles.

The mouse kept jumping up and down the corner of the wall, waving at him.

Lin Jing calmed down, looked around to make sure it was safe, then lowered his head and threw it into his pocket without changing his face.

The mouse was suddenly hit by the rose brooch in his pocket and had a headache, cursing: "What?"

Lin Jing: "A gift for you."

The mouse exploded: "You are insane! Give this to a mouse!"

Lin Jing: "As a rat, you're still picky and picky. If I give it to you, just keep it. Shut up."

Brother Mouse: "..." OK.

The palace is huge, Lin Jing found a maid, lied that she was not feeling well, and was led to the rest room.As soon as he entered the rest room, he immediately took off his obstructive high heels, took out a piece of clean white paper and a bottle of ink, and placed them in front of the mouse.

"quick."

The mouse raised its front paws and dipped it into the ink, and began to draw on the paper and said to him: "I found the place where the king lives. It's on the top floor of the castle, but there are many guards there, so I can't get in. The queen's room has been sealed long ago." The doors and windows are closed tightly. As for the place where the princess sleeps, it is even more strange, in the corner of the palace, there is a separate high-rise building, covered with thorns and guarded 24 hours a day."

Lin Jing sat down cross-legged and stared at the painting for a long time: "None of these three places is safe for us to enter."

The mouse groaned: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished yet. I stayed in the queen's room for a while, and heard two old maids chatting. They were secretly speaking ill of the queen, saying that if she hadn't done those things in the basement Witchcraft, there will never be witches in the world."

Lin Jing was taken aback: "The basement?"

"Yes!" The mouse excitedly tapped its ink-stained paw twice on the paper: "I was looking for the basement all the time, and God pays off. I found it."

"where?"

"It's just under the ground of this ancient castle."

"Walk."

Without delay, while the dance was still going on, Lin Jing dragged the mouse to the basement. He originally wanted to wear shoes, but after staring at the crystal shoes for a long time, he chose to go barefoot.

Mouse: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jing: "Leave yourself a way out."

The ground of the palace is smooth marble, and the corridors on both sides are all kinds of expensive oil paintings.

Lin Jing held a candle lamp in his hand for emergencies, and followed the guidance of the mouse to another garden from the back door.

The vegetation in the garden is luxuriant and prosperous, the blood-red roses are dotted among the leaves covered with night dew, and the fireflies are flickering, coating the treetops with a layer of gold.Holding a lamp, he stepped barefoot on the cobbled road, surrounded by fireflies dotted around, and the white skirt slid across the ground silently.Finally found the narrow entrance, a decaying wooden staircase.Lin Jing took a deep breath, held the lamp in one hand, and carried the skirt in the other, and walked in with the mouse.

The basement has a dusty, decaying smell, with cobwebs and fine dust floating in the air.

Lin Jing covered her nose for a while to get used to it, put the lamp on the table, and then began to look around.The scrolls and books here are randomly placed, scattered in the road, and there are half-burned candle lamps and an hourglass that have been seen on the table.The basement is so small that a huge bookcase takes up almost a third of the space.

Is this where the queen summoned the witch?

Lin Jing carefully stepped over the books on the floor, wiped the dust off the chair, then sat down and bent over to rummage through the boxes.

The mouse is not idle, relying on its young body to rummage around.

"Here, here, look what treasure I found."

The mouse yelled suddenly, grabbed a book on the top of the bookcase with its two paws, wobbled and began to pull it down.

But it was too weak to hold it steady at all, and the book fell directly on Lin's camera.

Boom, the thick corner of the book hit his head, the pain made him want to curse, Lin Jing said patiently: "If it's not a treasure, I'll chop you up first."

Mouse: "...don't be so irritable."

Putting it flat on the table, Lin Jing was stunned to realize that it was not a book, but a small box.

There is a gilded rose in the upper right corner, which is the symbol of Ebylon.

The lock was rusted, and Lin Jing easily opened it with a strand of hair.

The mouse lay on his shoulder, its eyes widened, and it held its breath as it stared at the pile of things.

Inside the box was a pile of letters, the handwriting was beautiful and elegant, with a lingering fragrance.

Lin Jing was taken aback, and picked it up.

The candlelight is reddish, turning the pages of the book into a light yellow layer, like the traces left over from time.

He opened the first letter.

[Dear Mr. M:

This is probably the last letter I will write to you.

Did you know that it has been raining in Ebylon lately, half the roses in the garden have withered, and the air smells of damp.

I often slept all day long, and Anna said that I had been stabbed by thorns, and the curse was about to take effect.

But I am not afraid of the curse, I am afraid that I will never see you again, and I am also afraid that you will not find me when you come back.

After the rain, Ebilon is like a gloomy and withdrawn mute girl.

The sky is a dull cyan, the castle is a rich black, and even the streets and houses are an annoying gray.

How can there be such a bad city.

I remember, I asked you if you liked Ebylon.

You say you like it.

No, M, you lied to me.

You don't like Ebiron any more than you like me. 】

After reading it, Lin Jing and Mouse looked at each other, and they both saw "Fuck" in each other's eyes.

Mouse: "Is this letter from the princess to her adulterer?"

Lin Jing corrected: "Whether you can talk, this is a love letter."

The mouse suddenly patted his shoulder with its paw: "Damn it, do you still remember the original version of Sleeping Beauty? Maybe we went through all kinds of troubles to find the witch, and the answer given by the witch is the kiss of the princess's beloved, which is what M—— Are we several steps ahead of the plot now?"

Lin Jing was also very excited: "It's not just a few steps ahead of the plot, we are almost several versions behind other people, but how to find M."

The mouse urged: "Look at the letter at the back and look for clues about M."

The two rubbed their hands together.

However, they thought too much, and there were only three letters in this box, none of which mentioned M's identity, like a princess talking to herself.

The second letter is written.

[Dear Mr. M:

My father was angry again.

He missed my mother, and wanted to smash the statue in the square in anger and grief, but I stopped him.

"Heart of Rose" means "God's Blessing" in Ebylon.

This statue was blessed by God.The heart of the rose used to be its eyes before it became the jewel in my father's crown.

My father said, I am also a person favored by gods, but I don't believe in gods, unless the god is you. 】

the last one.

[Dear Mr. M:

Thanks for showing up and taking me out of that weird castle.

I will never forget that night as long as I live.

Wild roses grew in the fields, and crickets murmured in the meadows.

The stars kiss the earth lightly, and the fireflies are like falling meteors.

The dewy brambles cling to the corners of my skirt, and the laurel falls on my hair.

I have been crying.

Oh my goodness.

Glass beads, roses, crickets.

You did everything I asked of you.

You must be wondering why I love these things.

But it's a secret. 】

After reading the three love letters from the princess, Lin Jing and Mouse looked at each other speechlessly, straight-manly in a daze.

The mouse asked, "Did you see anything?"

Lin Jing shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I entered this game and started a live broadcast. We can ask the barrage and seek off-site support."

The whole mouse exploded: "Damn it! You even started a live broadcast, which means that I'm being surrounded by a group of people watching my ghostly appearance."

Lin Jing twitched the corner of his mouth: "What are you afraid of, I don't feel guilty about pretending to be a soft girl."

He opened the barrage, and instantly a blue frame appeared on it.

There are still many cloud players in the story mode.

[I also think that M will be the key to breaking the game, maybe the antidote is kissing]

[The name of the dungeon is Kiss of Thorns, there is no need to run away, there is no need to find a witch at all]

[Damn, then this is not simply dying.How many points are there in this round, emmmm feels no more than [-] points. 】

There are also people who complain.

【That John is disgusting】

[Ah, ah, Cyril is so handsome, the laws of the past and present tell us that handsome people are generally not passers-by.A blind guess, Cyril is M. 】

[? ? ?I rely on the sister upstairs, your thinking is no longer the existence of the leading version, you are the server! 】

【low profile】

【Stop talking about your love brain, okay [pick your nose]】

[I don't agree with this statement. Where are the sisters upstairs who are in love? The real love brains are all in love like me.Anchor, do you have a heartbeat, anyway, I am. 】

Lin Jing: "..."

Lin Jing: "I'm not interested, I'm not interested. I opened the barrage just to ask you a question. What do you see in these three nagging letters? Girls first, boys shut up."

Barrage.

[Rely? ? ?I want to report you!You are sexist! 】

[It's awesome, if you don't have anything to do, you can do it with your hands, and if you have something to do, girls are preferred.What do you take the bullet screen for!Tool man? 】

[No, I can't bear this grievance. 】

At this time, another cloud player began to give advice.

[Anchor Zhencai.This kind of low-level field, which is just a few tens, why do you want to be so complicated.Go straight ahead, knock down the guards, break into the king's room, and grab the heart of the rose.What's the use of doing all this nonsense now.If you succeed, remember to dance for your brother, don’t open your mouth]

Lin Jing twitched the corner of his mouth: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lin Jing: "The one who taught me how to do things last time has become a fool, and now he works as a room manager in my live broadcast room."

【LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL】

[Raise your hand, I'm a girl who reads group books (romance novels).Ang, let me give you a good answer. M is the one who rescued the princess from the forest. The princess loves M very much. Later, M left her, but she should have promised to come back]

[[Stars Raining]: Lin Jing, you don't want to play anymore? :)]

[The second letter mentioned the heart of roses, implying divine favor. I think this M may not be a normal person, maybe he can use magic and... wait!Lin Lin Lin Lin Jing? 】
