Dressed as Snow White's Stepmother

The next day, Payne found an opportunity to share his speculation with Marjorie.Marjorie also began to recall the suspicious people in the palace: "I didn't avoid people on purpose when I went to your room last night, but since it was already late at night, I didn't meet anyone along the way. I'll go and investigate last night in the palace. All servants on duty, please be careful until you know the result."

Payne nodded: "Then I'll ask Percy to check the people who patrolled yesterday."

A few days later, both Percy and Marjorie said they hadn't investigated anything unusual.The patrolling guards were patrolling outside the palace at night, and the servants were also resting, except for the night watch maid and a cook next to Bai Xue.

Cook?Penn asked Marjorie if the kitchen and laundry room were next to each other.Marjorie was a little puzzled, but gave an affirmative answer.

Payne thought of the servant killed by the old prime minister: "The male servant who killed the old prime minister... said on the way to let me go that he was a laundryman." In the palace, love is free, and guards can have secret love The maid, and it was not impossible that the cook had something to do with a new manservant.

Marjorie immediately said: "I'm going to find someone to inquire about it, so let me take my leave first, Your Royal Highness."

Sure enough, the cook was really in love with the murdered servant.The cook was also bought by the prime minister, and she didn't seem to know that her lover had been killed by the prime minister.

Knowing the situation, Payne told Marjorie, or she would reveal without any trace that a servant had recently disappeared in the palace, and someone seemed to have seen him walking with a pregnant woman while shopping outside the palace.

If the cook didn't know about the servant's death, she would question the prime minister.If she knew of the servant's death, there would be a flaw in hearing that the lover she knew was dead was with someone else.

And during the few days when Marjorie and Percy investigated, Payne was not idle.He made a large number of mirrors, painted them with magic circles that could preserve magic power, and placed them in the high corners of the palace, successfully creating the first conceptual monitoring in the fairy tale world.The magic mirror can be possessed through these mirrors, but only one mirror is possessed, which is far worse than monitoring.

Not as good as a camera, Spicy Chicken Magic Mirror.Payne complained, making the magic mirror half dead but unable to refute.

Finally the cook got the news that her lover was having an affair outside the palace, so she couldn't help but went to find the prime minister.

"I just said that in the fairy tale world, except for a few IQs online, the rest of the staff are pure." The old god Payne was on the ground looking at the picture that the magic mirror followed all the way back from the mirror, "You say, if the rumors are true, it counts Doesn't it count as an ectopic pregnancy?" Payne had a sudden thought.

Magic mirror: "...you can shut up, don't be poor."

Soon, the cook arrived at the place where the prime minister had invited him.It seems that this location is the secret base of the prime minister in the palace. Payne felt wise because he had secretly placed a mirror on the pavilion, and it was worthwhile for him to climb the pillar all afternoon before putting it on.

But what surprised Payne was that the cook questioned the prime minister: "Didn't he escape by feigning death! Why did I hear that he had someone else outside the palace? If he betrays me, I will tell Percy your plan immediately." Chief of Guards!"

The Prime Minister didn't answer her question directly, but said in a gloomy tone: "He is not a smart person, and he has read things that he dare not read. And you don't seem to be very knowledgeable about current affairs. If you like him so much, why don't you come together?" with him?"

Then he clapped his hands lightly, and suddenly there were two more magic circles on the side that was empty, and two people were teleported out.

"It's a magic teleportation array!" The magic mirror immediately recognized the magic array. "There are fluctuations in the magic power of black magic. It seems that the wizard next to the prime minister is really related to black magic. Maybe the wizard is the missing witch."

When the cook saw the two people who suddenly appeared and the weird smile on the prime minister's face, she felt something was wrong, so she turned around and ran away, calling for help.But those two people moved faster, one stretched out a long tail from behind, and immediately wrapped around the cook's waist.

As soon as the cook turned her head, she saw that the person who had captured her made a movement that was absolutely impossible for a human being—the mouth was opened and cracked behind the ears, and the mouth full of sharp teeth was so densely packed that there were two layers.

"Ahhh!" the cook screamed in horror, "It's a monster! Save..." Before she could say the last word, she was swallowed whole by the monster.

After the monster swallowed a food that was as big as itself, there was no change, and its mouth returned to its normal size. It licked its mouth with its long tongue, and then slowly retracted its tail.

The prime minister laughed when he saw the changes in the monster: "How many more people can you eat to be like ordinary people?"

The voice of the monster still had the sound of a snake: "Three, if it's your chief guard, one is enough."

Hearing this, the Prime Minister laughed loudly: "Yes, you can kill him during the autumn hunting, and he will be yours."

The monster chuckled, and made an uncomfortable voice in its throat: "My friend also needs humans as food, and it needs two more people to retract its tail."

Hearing this, the Prime Minister said impatiently: "You guys have been eating too much lately, and the disappearance rate of homeless people and foreigners in Wangcheng is too high, I will be suspected."

The monster didn't speak, but waved, and another monster followed it into a magic circle again, and the light disappeared in a flash.And the prime minister also stepped into another inside, and there was no one around the pavilion in an instant.

Payne, who had witnessed the whole process, said, "...I'll go."

Same eyewitness mirror: "...I'll go."

The moment the monster caught the cook, Payne ran to save others, but before he could go out, the cook had already been swallowed by the monster.

The magic mirror said sadly to Payne: "That magic circle is too powerful. With our current level, you and me plus Percy and Marjorie are not enough to punch someone."

Payne was still in the shock of the cook being swallowed all of a sudden, he slowly came back to his senses: "The magic circle gave me a reminder, I think there is a 90.00% possibility that the wizard next to the prime minister is the one who disappeared before. witch."

"I've seen something similar in the manuscript she left behind, but it was still a half-finished product at the time." Payne hoarsely said, "I don't know what the purpose of her leaving these things is, maybe it was forgotten in a hurry, maybe it was... .”

The magic mirror also thought of that possibility: "You mean...she did it on purpose?"

"It's very possible. You can see that the prime minister has a cooperative relationship with those monsters, and he also has an understanding of their habits." Payne took a sip of water, "I had some doubts before, how quickly and smoothly the old king succeeded to the throne According to the situation, it is said that the younger brother of the old king brought troops to the palace."

"Monster" Payne and the magic mirror spoke in unison.

The magic mirror continued to analyze: "That is to say, at that time, in order to stabilize the situation, the old king asked the witch to release the monster, but the consequences were uncontrollable and led to the disaster of the monster. In order to find a scapegoat, the witch was also imprisoned. But she definitely didn't want to It’s just a scapegoat, so I simply left various manuscripts in the magic tower for the use of those who go to the wrong mind in the future.”

"It's very possible." Payne said, "The old prime minister did not know when he was connected to the witch. Ten years ago, after the old king completely relaxed his vigilance, the prime minister let the witch escape by feigning death. The cause of the old king's death may also be It has something to do with that witch, and you didn't see it at the time, maybe because her magic is stronger than yours." After that, he glanced at the useless magic mirror.

I saw the magic mirror that Payne despised: "Hey, I used to be just a magic mirror who was asked who is the healthiest. We don't know anything, and we dare not ask anything."

Alas, let's live together, what's wrong with being able to leave.Payne thought about the contribution the magic mirror had made to him at the beginning, and expressed his generous forgiveness.

Magic Mirror: Ahh!

However, the magic circle that transported monsters gave Payne some inspiration. He searched for the manuscript left by the witch and found the semi-finished magic circle.But this semi-finished product can only be used by relying on magical materials, it cannot be used just like that on the ground.

But anyone who has played RPG games knows that this semi-finished product is a bit like a city return scroll!Although it consumes a little more mana and requires more complicated materials, it is better than nothing.

Just do what you say, Payne notified the two allies of what happened to the cook, and ignored Marjorie's sudden expression, but hurriedly said that he had the inspiration to study and went to the tower.

Before going in, Payne sighed and said that there are only a few days before the arrival of Autumn Hunting, should he also go to accompany Bai Xue, after all, the two will be separated for a long time.

"But the scroll has to be made. What if Baixue wants to use it? I really feel sorry for the parents of the world." Then Payne devoted himself to the research of making the scroll to return to the city.

The magic mirror also dutifully helped him search for information, occasionally possessing the prime minister's secret corner to see if there was any change.

When Payne researched the scroll of returning to the city, there were still three days before the autumn hunt.

The author has something to say: On the fifth day of continuous updates, I feel hollowed out.
