Chapter 196.2
[…] The dragon used the tip of its tail to gently hook Bai Li Xin, trying to please him, [In the third step, although I put the soul fragments in the central dungeon as a fixed-point marker, it would be useless if no one cooperated. At that time, I lost all my memory and knew nothing about it. ]
Bai Li Xin: [It was I who cooperated with me. You either don’t do it, or you do it perfectly. After you ensured that all the hooks were in place, you abandoned your memories, and your actions followed the predetermined plan, turning like gears one after another.]
[And I didn’t disappointment you,] Bai Li Xin traced the dragon’s spine with his fingertip, feeling the rough texture on its back, [I successfully closed one copy after another.]
Dijia: [That’s right.]
Bai Li Xin: [In this copy, there are two soul fragments, does that mean this copy is also one of the key copies?]
[My baby is smart,] Dijia said, [You guessed right. This copy is indeed one of the key copies, and it is connected to many other grape-like copies.]
Bai Li Xin: [Then you had no need to come here. There are two soul fragments already.]
He paused, frowned slightly, [Why throw two soul fragments? Do you have some ulterior motive?]
[How could that be? Do I look like that to you?] The dragon’s voice instantly became resolute and unyielding, [I forgot why, but it must be out of concern for you, definitely not for some weird reasons.]
Bai Li Xin: […]
Look at me, does my expression show that I believe you?
Dijia coughed lightly, [According to my thought process, it might be that the more dangerous the copy, the more help you need, so I left a few more.]
Bai Li Xin: [???]
Aren’t you the biggest threat?
Dijia: […]
No, not me, you misunderstood.
When time was almost up for their conversation, Bai Li Xin used his fingernail to pick at the gap between the dragon scales, [Since you got your memories after the soul fragment of the Undead Magician returned, why are you only telling me now?]
Dijia: [I wanted to make sure the information wouldn’t leak.]
[ I can connect to your brainwaves at times. You have two systems in your mind, which is quite surprising.]
[Later, I discovered that one of the systems was your own, and I also realized that the escape system in your mind appeared to have defected.]
[So I have been assessing the loyalty of the escape system in your mind, and I also didn’t I have the opportunity to discuss these matters with you.]
[I didn’t want to reveal this plan to you until I was certain that the escape system in your mind was fully loyal.]
Bai Lixin let out a long breath after listening to Dijia’s explanation. The meticulously arranged plan for the system had already commenced silently and steadily before the system was even aware of it.
Perhaps this game never imagined that there was a group of people plotting to annihilate it right under its nose.
[Thank you for your hard work,] Bai Lixin said after a long pause, patting the dragon’s back.
The golden dragon flapped its wings, and there was a hint of embarrassment in it’s voice. [Could you please stop touching my back?]
[You might not believe it, but I’m actually quite sensitive,] the dragon continued. [If you keep touching it, I can’t help but feel embarrassed.]
Bai Lixin quickly withdrew his hand as if it were hot. [I find it hard to believe, but I’ll take your word for it,] he said.
Dijia replied, [If you really want to know, find a cave after we land, and I’ll show you…]
Bai Lixin covered his ears instantly. [You…Shut up! I don’t want to go to a cave.]
Dijia asked, [Then where do you want to go?]
Does that mean another place is fine? There’s no smoke without fire. It must be wife who is playing another teasing game of “resistance and acceptance” with him.
Bai Lixin touched his hot cheeks and looked around, only then did he realize that the sky was already dark, and Dijia was flying him above the endless sea.
A thin mist was rising from the water surface, and the white fog was drifting towards the seaside city.
Bai Lixin looked at the thick fog ahead and pondered for a moment. [I want to go to the fairy tale world of Prince Rapunzel. Can you take me there?]
[Of course, sit right,] the dragon replied, with a tinge of regret in his voice.
Bai Lixin: “…”
What are you regretting? Aren’t you satisfied already?
As the dragon spoke, it suddenly ascended into the sky.
Above the clouds and beyond the sky, a massive golden magic circle materialized instantly.
When the giant dragon led Bai Lixin through the magic circle, Bai Lixin asked: [Why is the system so afraid of the god of plague and death? ]
After the words fell, Bai Lixin’s eyes were instantly enveloped in a golden light.
The golden lights, like floating dust in the air, swirled around Bai Lixin, brushing against his cheeks and warming his body.
Bai Lixin felt a slight tearing sensation, followed by dizziness from the distortion of time and space.
When the dizziness dissipated, he had already arrived at a majestic palace.
He was back where the story had begun.
The dragon was nowhere to be seen, but there was a necklace hanging from his neck.
The necklace was made of green vines, adorned with an unmelted ice cube and a shiny golden scale.
He was surrounded by the bustling crowd of people, all wearing elaborate gowns and happy smiles. It seemed that a grand ceremony was taking place in the palace. Melodious symphony music filled the air, and colorful lights illuminated the night sky.
Under the cover of the crowd, Bai Lixin’s sudden appearance did not attract any attention as he seamlessly blended into the crowd.
The guests behind were still showing the invitations at the gate of the palace, but Bai Lixin had successfully sneaked in
The dragon had done an excellent job, bringing him here and dressing him in an exquisite white tuxedo that matched the theme of the occasion.
Amidst the throng of people, Bai Lixin naturally made his way into the banquet hall.
Three moons still hang overhead in a strange but harmonious way.
Bai Lixin noticed that the skin color of these people had also started to fade to varying degrees, some from their arms and some from their faces.
About half of the group had already experienced fading.
A young man sat above the hall, full of spirit and vitality. His once long hair had been cut short, and he was dressed in military attire, looking noble and proud as he looked down at everything with a relaxed face.
Prince Mia glanced over the crowd boredly, and suddenly, he saw someone who should not have been here.
The prince’s face stiffened, and he rubbed his eyes and looked again, but there was no one there.
His originally tense body gradually relaxed, and behind him, the king and queen approached slowly.
The prince’s expression improved slightly when he saw the king and queen, “Father, mother, when will the banquet officially begin?”
The king looked lifeless as he glanced at the prince, “Wait for the royal magician to hold a proper baptism for you, then you will be completely free from the curse.”
The prince asked, “When will the Royal Magician arrive?”
The king hesitated and answered mechanically, “I will send for the Royal Magician now.”
An invisible ripple appeared in the air, and the prince’s expression also became numb. “Okay.”
A maid received the king’s order and left slowly.
As the maid stepped on the plush carpet, she didn’t notice that there was a set of inexplicable footprints behind her.
The quality of the carpet was good, and the footprints disappeared and it returned to normal as if they were just an illusion.
In Bai Lixin’s mind, s419M’s voice voic out, [Lord Host, why are you back here again? Isn’t Miu Miu the key?]
Bai Lixin replied, [Haven’t you noticed that although Miu Miu has never appeared in this world, it is still abnormal?]
[The system said that the intruder has changed the fairy tale story, causing the fairy tale story to deviate from the normal plot. Miu Miu is indeed the key, but she is not the intruder, she is the creator of this world. The intruder is someone else.]
[Hmm, what you said makes sense. Are you suspecting that the Royal Magician is the intruder?]
Bai Lixin: [I’m not sure, I only had a brief encounter with the Royal Magician in the previous world, but I felt that he and the King Mia were lying when we talked. I just feel that he may have some clues, so I want to take a look.]
[Oh, I see. So that’s why. Great job, Lord Host, 666.]
“…” This system was getting more and more useless. All it does now is verbally cheer?”
Bai Lixin used an invisibility card and followed the maid up to the end of a dark corridor.
The maid was about to knock on the door, but the door was pushed open from the inside, and an old man in a magnificent ceremonial robe walked out. The old man glanced at the maid and said, “Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he paused and closed the door with trembled hands.
After he and the maid had walked away, Bai Lixin pushed the door and discovered that it was slightly ajar.
As soon as he entered the room, the invisibility card he had been using expired.
A few candles were still lit in the room, and as the door closed, the flickering of the candles cast Bai Lixin’s shadow on the wall, creating a mottled and elongated silhouette.
The room was small and simple, containing only a sofa, a coffee table, a desk, and a bookshelf.
Bai Lixin noticed a book shelf which was filled with books, and approached the desk which had a few books in the upper left corner.
Bai Lixin searched through the books on the desk and quickly found a diary.
S419M: [This is Royal Magician’s diary of Lord Host. It may contain some useful information.]
Bai Lixin nodded inwardly and opened the diary.
Although he was not familiar with the writing in the diary, the words transformed into a font he recognized and entered his mind.
Most of the entries in the diary were mundane records of daily routines, resembling a log rather than a diary.
The entries in the diary were not continuous, often with gaps of several days or even years between them.
The first entries in the diary expressed the Royal Magician’s concerns about the future of the king and the kingdom.
[Wang is almost fifty years old this year, but he has no heirs. He also has no siblings who can inherit the kingdom. Is the Kingdom on the brink of collapse? As the Royal Magician, I feel ashamed that I cannot solve the heir issue. I must find a way to help the king continue his bloodline.]
[I found it! The fairy grass deep in the mysterious forest can grant the wishes of those who upon for it, including the wish for an heir for the king.]
[Sure enough, the queen became pregnant shortly after eating the grass. May God bless our kingdom.]
[The prince is born, and he will undoubtedly become an excellent heir.]
[The prince has been cursed by the evil witch. It’s all my fault. I blame myself for being too obsessed. Why should the innocent prince, king, and queen be punished? All they wanted was an heir. Is this wrong? No, I have to find a way to save the prince. I cannot let one generation suffer for the sins of another.]
[What should I do? I am completely helpless. I can’t think of any way to break the prince’s curse.]
[Today, the prince approached me and said that he has a way to break the curse, a method involving the transfer of curses. But besides this method, I can’t think of any other way. It’s strange though, how does a prince who has never studied magic or curses know about this method?]
[The prince is becoming more and more peculiar. Although I am much older than him, I am somewhat afraid of him. I sense a dark aura emanating from him, as if he is being controlled by it. The prince often seems distracted, looking in the direction of the forest and uttering words that I don’t understand, such as ‘curse,’ ‘imprisonment,’ and ‘dark power.’ There is a seed of evil, which is said to be the source of terror in the world, could it be that the flower I picked earlier is the flower of evil? No, that’s impossible. The prince is so handsome, how could he be infused with dark forces? I must be mistaken.]
[I saw the prince kill someone today! It was horrifying. He was brutal, violent, and ruthless. I saw him behead a maid with his bare hands, without any sign of remorse. He has no magic, no, he needs no magic at all, and his brute force is more terrifying than all magic. I suddenly remembered the witch’s curse. Does such a prince really need to be saved? Is the future of this Kingdom going to prosper in the hands of such a prince? ]
[The prince seems to have discovered my thoughts. He actually controlled the king and queen today and gave the king a poisonous drug. If I can’t help the prince achieve his wish, he will kill the king. He’s blackmailing me with the king’s life!]
[I compromised. I started to follow his request and help him find a candidate for the curse to be transferred to. But are there really such passers-by? Why did the prince ask me to come to the river to look for one? Could there be surprises falling from the sky?]
[There really was a man with long hair who fell from the sky! And he also lost his memory, which is the best person to pass the curse onto. I’m sorry, child, for the sake of the king and the future of the country, I can only do you wrong.]
[I helped the prince transfer the curse to the child’s body. Now the whole kingdom, including the king, is afraid of His Royal Highness. We follow the prince’s orders to pretend that the child is the prince, so that the child can willingly replace the prince so that he doesn’t die.]
[The child went missing but two days later, the prince’s eighteenth birthday came as scheduled, but the prince did not die. Apparently the curse worked on the child, so if the prince hadn’t died, then it meant that the child died. I’m sorry, child, please accept my apologies.]
[The prince has become uncontrollable. Ever since the curse was lifted, he has become more and more capricious. The king and queen have now become puppets. Great gods, who will save us? Who will save His Majesty the King? I regret it, I really regret it. If I hadn’t been so greedy and followed the way of heaven, instead of going against the sky and looking for a way to have children, such a tragedy would not have happened.]
[ I’ve been feeling drowsy these days, as if I had a surreal dream. I dreamt that the prince married a beautiful mermaid princess, and they had a handsome prince and a beautiful princess together. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but in the dream, the prince transformed from his cruel nature to become a gentle and kind father.]
[But the princess in the dream was somewhat terrifying. She possessed the dreadful power of resurrection. May the heavens forgive me, for once again becoming evil in my dreams, as I demanded another child to be killed for the sake of the Kingdom and the world. Even though it was just a dream, I feel so sorry for that dear little princess.]
[Today is the prince’s coming-of-age banquet. After tonight, the prince will officially become an adult and proclaim to the world that he has overcome the curse. I dare not imagine what he might do after tonight.]
