Chapter 21 Masquerade Ball

No castle?

Ning Zhi's smile froze, but soon returned to normal: "Maybe I misread it, that's really a pity, I thought I could see a more beautiful scenery!"

"There is only a cliff behind the door, please leave immediately." The soldier said, "Your Majesty and the Queen will be here soon, and all the nobles have already gone to the square."

"Thank you for your notification." Jian Qiao responded politely, "We will go to greet His Majesty and Queen immediately."

When they walked away, they could still see the soldiers still guarding there.

"It might be that the soldiers have something to do, and we took advantage of it." Ning Zhi tilted his head slightly, "Did you find anything out of the research?"

Ning Zhi had just talked to the soldier to attract his attention on purpose, and she also thoughtfully blocked Jian Qiao's movements so that he could study the situation.

"I'm sorry to tell you." Jian whispered with a bit of helplessness in her voice, "This lock can't be opened violently, so we have to find the key."

"There's definitely something wrong with that castle."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ning Zhi rolled her eyes ungracefully, "The worst thing is, we have to finish it in one day, otherwise the museum will run out of time."

The two of them returned to the square along the way Jane had come. At this time, many people were already standing in the square, wearing all kinds of exquisite masks and beautiful dresses from different eras, as if they were waiting for someone.

The sound of horseshoes gradually became louder.

The crowd separated automatically, leaving a wide aisle in the middle, and a cart made of gold pulled by two snow-white horses stopped in the middle of the aisle.

A waiter opened the door of the carriage, and a man came out first, with short blond hair, deep facial features, amber-like clear eyes, and wearing a snow-white dress embroidered with gold thread. He got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out a Hands facing the direction behind you.

Another long, gloved finger was placed in his palm.

That was an extremely beautiful woman.

Long golden hair, facial features carefully sculpted by the Creator, snow-white skin, and pure and elegant temperament.

Her eyes are clearer than the sky, like blue topaz, with a fascinating charm.

[Queen Cinderella, King Simpson. 】

The system prompts their identities.

After Cinderella and Simpson got off the carriage, they walked towards the palace. The nobles who stood on the square to welcome them followed behind them, and Jian Qiao and Ning Zhi were also among the crowd.

When they stepped into the palace, it was suddenly dark.

The sky is full of twinkling stars, the moonlight is like a tulle, and the sound of the piano and violin can be heard, cheerful and playful.

Several couples of men and women hugged each other and slid onto the dance floor, dancing to the music. The king and queen had already entered the second floor and disappeared.

In the corner of the lobby on the first floor stood many handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies. Some were smiling and talking, and some men and women who smiled at each other became new members of the dance floor.

The system's keyword hints still haven't arrived.

Jian quietly tried to get out of the door on the first floor, but found that there was an invisible barrier in the air, and some rules trapped him on the first floor.

And the stairs on the second floor are right next to the dance floor, too conspicuous, and it's not a good time for them to go up.

"Turning around on the first floor?" Ning Zhi lowered her voice, and the two pretended to talk and left the hall far away. There was a carved door at the far corner of the hall, and the two turned in cautiously. Inside was a In the corridor, there are lounges on the left and right sides.

The house number on the right reads titles like "Duke Barton", "Duke Bryan", "Prince Abbott".

"Princess Greenville", "Miss Rebecca", "Marquess Daniela" and the like are written on the house number on the left.

It looks like an exclusive lounge for men and women.

There are five rooms on the left and right sides, ten rooms in total.

"half each."

"no problem."

Jane tentatively knocked on the door of Duke Barton's lounge, but there was no response from the door. He carefully pushed down the doorknob and entered, while Ning Zhi behind him had slid into Greenville like a fish. Princess lounge.

The door is full of aristocratic luxury. The room is not big, but the floor is covered with thick carpets with beautiful patterns. Facing the door is a comfortable sofa. There is a coffee table in front of the sofa. Food like fruit.

The lounge is a rectangle with unobstructed views.

He didn't randomly destroy the furnishings in the room, but took off his shoes and walked around carefully. There were no clues in this lounge.

The second lounge belongs to Duke Brian. It has the same furnishings as the previous one, except that there is a hard-shell notebook next to the fruit, which contains a paradoxical statement: [Her favorite fruit is grapes, and the prince is very happy. Love her.

Her favorite fruit is strawberries, and the king loves her very much.

Whether she likes grapes or strawberries, he loves her.

She deserves to be loved.

She doesn't deserve to be loved.

Love is beautiful, but it has a shelf life.

Love is beautiful, and he always loves her. ]

Even if it is a clue, nesting dolls are prohibited.

He memorized the long string of tongue-twister words in the hard-shell notebook, and then went to the third lounge.

There was no fruit on the tea table in the third lounge, but a gift box, which was opened casually. Inside was a mechanical nightingale, lying on a wine-red velvet cloth, its whole body was studded with diamonds, rubies and sapphire.Under the light, golden and silver lights flickered alternately on its tail.

There is a delicate ribbon tied around its neck, and there is a sentence on it: [To the beautiful and elegant queen. 】

Signed underneath is Prince Abbott.

It was a gift for Queen Cinderella.

Jane quietly remembered the Civilization Staff that was in his hand at the beginning. There was a small lettering on the inside of the armrest, which said Prince Abbott.

That is, the person who prepared this gift.

So, is this a gift to give in his capacity?

He closed the box, and the brilliance of the gem was silent in the box.

There is a delicate handle on the buckle of the box, and Jane quietly carried it in her hand and left the third lounge.

He knocked on the door of the fourth lounge.

With a soft "click", the door opened from the inside, and this lounge was occupied.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man with curly brown hair, with a serious and impatient face.

With a polite smile on Jane's face: "Duke Baron, I have something to ask you."

"Prince Abbott?" Duke Baron asked him suspiciously, and stepped aside to make way for the lounge, "What can you do for me?"

"The king and queen have already come to this ball. I have prepared a gift, but I always feel that it is not suitable. I heard that the Duke of Baron has always been well-informed in this regard, so I came here to ask."

Jian Qiao had already walked into the lounge, and he opened the box he was carrying on the coffee table, and the nightingale studded with jewels appeared before him again.

"This is undoubtedly a valuable gift, but the queen will not like it." The Duke of Baron who followed behind him said, "The queen never likes such luxurious and lifeless dead things as gems. She likes living ones. things, like a cute elf, or a real nightingale with a beautiful voice."

"But the queen will not refuse this gift, after all, it is really exquisite." Duke Baron showed a little complacent expression on his face. He was very proud that someone with a higher status than him humbly asked him for advice, "I think These are undoubtedly the most expensive gifts at the ball."

"Thank you for letting me know. You are a true gentleman, generous and insightful." After getting the answer he wanted, Jane stood up and said goodbye to him, "But I still have an appointment with Prince Clarence, so I will I won't stay with you any longer."

"Prince Clarence? Isn't he dancing with Miss Marceau at the ball?" Duke Baron looked suspicious.

"Yes." Jian Qiao didn't panic at all, "I met him in the lobby just now, and he said that he had a good conversation with Miss Marceau, and asked me to wait in his lounge for a while, saying that he wanted to give me Show off the gifts he has prepared for this ball."

"That's right." The suspicion on Duke Barron's face faded a lot. He sent Jane out quietly, watched him calmly open the door of the lounge behind, and then nodded to him. The door Just close it.

Prince Clarence's lounge is garishly decorated, like a male peacock with its tail open.The moment she opened the door, Jian Qiao was almost blinded by the brilliance of gems in the room.

There are large patterns made of precious stones on the wall, the curtains are woven with gold threads, large pieces of precious stones are inlaid in every corner of the sofa, the coffee table is cut from a whole piece of ruby, and even the carpet is not spared. , which are inlaid with gemstones in geometric shapes, and the whole lounge reveals a sense of inhumanity.

The floor is paved with precious stones, won't his feet hurt when he walks up it?

Jane glanced at the box she was carrying in her hand, and felt that the original owner of the identity he temporarily replaced and the prince must have a lot in common.
