Walking out of the hotel, heading west and walking out of the outpost for a few steps, and passing through dozens of tents neatly arranged in the shape of a yurt, Qingkong followed the guide to a tent that was twice the size of an ordinary tent, and the maid politely opened it. He covered the heavy canvas, indicating that she needed to enter alone, and the girl stepped in without hesitation.
The space inside the tent is much more spacious than imagined. The water-blue decorative cloth is used as the material to cover the tent wall, furniture, coffee table, and desk top. White flower patterns are dotted in rows on the cloth corners, showing the Nobility in simplicity. A slender figure is half sitting on the table, separated from the clear sky by a half-thin barrier covered with rose flowers, and only her outline can be seen roughly. This must be the master in the maid's mouth, because her seat There are two escorts standing on each side. Although they can't see their faces, their aura and posture are sufficient.
"Hello? I heard that you invited me over?..." Walking to the middle of the room, through the gauze screen, Qing Kong first spoke to break the silence. She could feel the direct gaze and scrutiny from the other side of the screen, and the man looked at her for a full minute.
"Yes, what's your name?" Following the ice breaking in the clear sky, a soft female voice came from behind the screen.
"Qingkong, my name is Qingkong." The girl replied. Although she is curious about the current sudden situation, she also hopes to have a quick solution and go back to meet up with her companions sooner, so she continued to ask guidingly, "Thank you for the invitation, but I still have three friends waiting for me to go back to meet up at the hotel , so... I don’t know what is the specific reason why you are looking for me? "
"It's something, it's something, it's something that concerns my life." The slender figure stood up from the desk, walked slowly to the front of the screen, and introduced himself, "I am the princess from Storm City. , Vanessa Storm, the daughter of the leader of the Dolly clan, Lord Egostine Storm, is about to marry the prince of the Kingdom of Keen and the future king Johnny Keane as his wife, that is, the queen of Keen's future kingdom. We bumped all the way to Apocalypse City on this trip, just to announce my wedding promise with Johnny... "
"Congratulations." Hearing this, Qing Kong already felt that the other party's status was too noble, and couldn't help feeling fearful. It's a pity that she doesn't know the etiquette of this world very well, and she can only spit out these three words after holding back for a long time.
Feeling Qingkong's bewilderment, the princess who looked at her across the curtain smiled meaningfully: "It's too early to say congratulations. At this moment, I'm not even sure whether I can reach the City of Apocalypse safely."
"Huh? Why is that?..."
"Because tonight."
"Because tonight?" Qing Kong frowned suspiciously.
"It took us a total of three days to disembark and march from Dongling Port. During these three days, there were assassins who tried their best to plot against me. Fortunately, all the assassinations were resolved one by one. After tonight, we will set off early tomorrow morning After crossing the Shining River, the road to Youqi Town is full of plain scenery, and the terrain is open and difficult to sneak attack. It is expected to arrive at Youqi Town at dusk, and the Imperial Forest Army sent by the Keene royal family will be waiting there to greet you—that is to say, tonight, it will be Those who want to assassinate me, this is the last chance." Vanessa explained in a calm and unusual tone.
"It's really daring for someone to try to assassinate the future queen."
Qingkong couldn't feel angry after hearing this, but the princess laughed again: "This world has never lacked bold and reckless people, what is lacking is just a reason to kill. When I decided to marry Johnny, I realized that this trip must be dangerous. Heavy. This is already the case before entering the apocalypse, and it is even more dangerous after entering the apocalypse."
"Then... what can I help you with?" At this point, Qing Kong's inner doubts became more serious. I'm just a little mage in the twenties, I don't know the rules, I don't have knowledge, it's good not to make trouble for others, how can I help the future queen
After hearing this, Vanessa took another step forward, and said in a calm tone: "Today when the four of you drove into the sentry post in the evening, I saw your figure from a distance, and then I saw you I was thinking, this must be God’s will.”
As she said that, she made a gesture to the maids standing not far behind, and they immediately stepped forward, pulling down the drawstrings on both sides of the screen at the same time, from left to right, and the gauze curtain was slowly pulled open , revealing the appearance of Princess Vanessa, which surprised Haruka—
She has orange hair and red eyes, her hair is below her knees, and she is tall and slender...
Of course, these are not the main points that surprised Qingkong, the main point is—
Except for the pair of pointy ears and the makeup on the princess's face, she looks almost exactly like Qingkong's mage character.
"When I was worrying about how to survive the assassins' pursuit and kidnapping tonight, I turned against the assassins, and wiped them all out, I saw you, isn't this just God's will? - Cover your ears, look from a distance, you are almost the same I look the same, and you are the perfect substitute prepared by God for me."
Qing Kong finally understood the reason for this matter. Although the other party was a powerful person, the substitute matter seemed dangerous, and she couldn't help but fell into deep thought—she wasn't afraid of death, in this world, players could be brought back to life anyway, and the worst would be to experience a painful experience. The process... What she was afraid of was delaying Leoria's confession and not being able to complete the request to send the letter to Tianqi in time.
Seeing Qingkong's struggle in meditation, Vanessa added in a timely manner: "My plan is not to trade your life for my safety, but I need you to cooperate with me in setting up a trap to lure and arrest, and the plan must protect you. "
At this point, it would be unreasonable not to help, Qingkong sighed slightly, and responded: "Princess Vanessa... I don't know if I call you that, right?"
"Of course you can call me like this, or you can call me Your Highness—when you see nobles with pure royal blood other than the king and prince, just call them Your Highness." Vanessa taught succinctly.
"Okay, Your Highness, I don't know the rules... In short, I really want to help you, but I have a very important letter that needs to be sent to Apocalypse City, and to King Terras. Since I want to accept this Dangerous mission, I want to put this letter back on my companion to prevent it from being lost. Look, can I go back to the hotel and deal with this matter?"
"Letter?" Clear Sky's words clearly aroused Vanessa's interest, "What important letter needs to alert King Terras, let's hear it."
Qingkong wanted to explain the reason of the whole incident clearly in one breath. As an identity who entered the game from the real world, she always had a view in her heart: [Anyway, this is just a game, so why take it so seriously. ]
But for some reason, when the words were about to come out, Leoria's serious face appeared in his mind.
[After all, this letter is Leoria's mission to save his life, so it's best to rely on his opinion. ] Thinking about this, Qingkong decided not to tell the whole thing without Leoria's permission, and agreed vaguely: "This is an item related to the mission accepted by my friend, and I am not responsible for the specific content of the letter." It's very clear... As for why it must be handed over to the king himself, only he knows the reason."
After saying this, Qing Kong once again asked for instructions: "I will go and deliver the letter entrusted by my friend to the hotel and return it to him. I will return as soon as I go, is that okay?"
But Vanessa couldn't help sighing: "I'm afraid, you're going back and forth like this to attract the attention of the assassins. What's more, if you return to the hotel now, your friends will have to add a lot of speculation and worry, I think You don't want your friend to be involved in dangerous things, do you? How about you give the letter to me, and I will return it to you after tonight, how about it?"
The princess's statement was really not critical, so Qingkong had to take out the letter with the blessing of miracles from his backpack and handed it to Vanessa.
The first time she saw the gorgeous letter ink pad in the shape of an M, Princess Vanessa frowned obviously. She held the letter, looked back and forth for half the price, and then asked in a slightly trembling voice. Said: "You really don't know anything about the origin of this letter?"
"I..." Qing Kong, who is not very good at lying, hesitated... Fortunately, at this time, a guard suddenly came to report, which attracted the attention of the princess.
"Report!" A male voice sounded outside the tent.
"Come in."
Princess Vanessa gave the order, and the head guard hurried into the tent and knelt down, and reported: "Your Highness, the soldier's body was found a hundred meters outside the camp, and the clothes have been stripped off. The suspected assassin has already entered the camp in disguise. We have already started Investigate the identity of each soldier, until the investigation is over, please stay in the tent, and put safety first."
"Understood, step back." The princess waved her hand, and the head guard stepped back in response.
She immediately put away the letter and put it in her arms, turned her head to look at the clear sky, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "They have already arrived, and our plan can also start."
