As mentioned before, Murong Villa is very large, so big that a small lake is even enclosed within the walls of the villa—it is a "small lake" rather than a "small pond", although it pays attention to aesthetics and recreational use rather than planting. Or willows, lotus flowers, lotus flowers, lakeside pavilions, lake boats and other things are arranged, but there are also various fish for the Murong family's daily consumption, and the size should not be too small.
But that's all, it is a normal small lake from all angles, and there is no such strange thing as "there is a stone pillar leading to the clouds in the center of the lake, and there seems to be something looming at the top of the stone pillar". ... uh, what if there was such a weird thing? That can only be the possibility that a person from another world who has nothing to do and join forces with a maid to pick up girls.
Murong Jiu, who generally knows what's going on, may have the heart to continue playing with her bad temper, but... But if she doesn't look at "what the hell is it", she will regret it for the rest of her life? After all, he followed Zhang Jing's hasty footsteps and followed the torch to the lake...
"So who is the target? Ninth sister? Jingmei?" - By eldest sister.
"That person clearly said that he wanted three wives and four concubines. Why should Jiumei and Jingmei be so angry? Second sister reminds you not to be deceived by rhetoric." - Second Sister By.
"I've actually inquired about it, Lord Leeds is like a king in his world... The concept of three wives and four concubines should not be changed." - By Sixth Sister.
"If there is a man willing to do this for me... I will recognize him no matter how much he cares." - By Sanjie.
"What?!" - By third brother-in-law.
Well, except for Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing, who have been staying in the house and have been deliberately blocked from news, who can't see such a conspicuous thing? The lake has long been surrounded by all the members of the Murong family who are still in the villa... Of course, most of the maids, nursing homes and the like are too curious to approach because of their positions and status.
"This this… "
"It's not like that!"
Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu, who became the center of the conversation between (Biao) sister and (Biao) brother-in-law, inevitably blushed.
"Cough, Jiu'er, Jing'er, let's go and have a look first..." Master Murong interrupted everyone's words, Zhang Jing, he is not qualified to care, and about the marriage of the youngest daughter... Well, the attitude is unclear at the moment, "It seems that If you don't take the lead, we can't even open our eyes."
"..." The two of them looked in the direction of the torch, and there was a stone road on the bank leading directly to the stone pillar. There seemed to be an entrance under the stone pillar, but that entrance was currently blocked by the "I'm not easy to mess with" maid from Leeds. block.
"Then... let's go first, Ninth Sister!"
Zhang Jing, who didn't like being in this kind of atmosphere, hurriedly pulled up her little cousin and ran quickly through the not too long stone passage. The maid who had been blocking the entrance had moved to the side of the entrance, meaning to allow them to enter. .
"Wow, from this point of view - woohoo!" Zhang Jing, who was standing at the bottom of the stone pillar and looked up, was shocked, but before her sigh was published, Murong Jiu pulled her back in. Zhang Jing didn't think that Murong Jiu felt ashamed, especially the calm expression of the maid made her understand that this was a gap in knowledge.
The inside of the stone pillar is a hollow structure, and there is a spiral stone staircase on its inner wall. Squinting eyes can barely see that the end of the staircase is the same color as the evening sky.
"Sister Jing."
"Hmm~"
The function of the stairs is to let people go up along it, but don't forget that they are martial arts masters, especially the Murong family is most famous for their light skills and hidden weapons, they can often fly five or six meters when they take off - so they stand in the middle of the stairs. , using the spiral stone staircase as the focal point to step and jump back and forth, and climb up the height lightly but quickly. However, even if they "climbed the stairs" in this way, it took them a lot of time to reach the end of the stairs, and the height of the stone pillar could be seen.
"Wow! This pillar won't collapse suddenly, will it?" Looking down from the end, they felt panic. Even with their light work, even if they fell off with one foot, they could easily recover, but this was amazing. The height can inspire their fear just by looking at the past.
After all, even with Qinggong, martial arts masters still have no wings.
"Cough." Murong Jiu coughed dryly, trying her best to be as calm as she used to be, "like a girl who doesn't care about everything in the world", she put away her eyes and looked down, raised her slender feet and walked up the stairs. However, when she was able to see the true appearance of the building above, she was temporarily unable to take a step.
It was a world that seemed to have nothing, ah, the furniture that once appeared in the Leeds house was ignored... But ignore it, ignore it, only those transparent crystals in Murong Jiu's eyes that can be seen by all-out observation, yes, there is a layer of transparent Things are wrapped like boxes to form a space!
"This... is transparent 'colored glass'?" It seems that there are similar things in this martial arts world, but the production process problem can only produce colored colored glass products, and colorless and transparent glass products need further research and development.
"Stepping on this kind of thing... is it really okay?" Zhang Jing, who said so, has already stepped on it.
Shift focus, eh? It's alright... put the other foot there too, it's alright... jump.
"Don't jump!" Murong Jiu hurriedly stopped, but it was already too late.
"...?" The daring Zhang Jing has already fallen down... Of course, it's still fine.
"Huh." Murong Jiu, who always felt that Liuli was very fragile in her heart, breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to blame her reckless cousin, but the result seemed to be that she was unfounded. Can't stop looking down.
"!!!" X2.
The cousins seemed to be similarly frightened, and hurriedly ran to the area of the stone pillars that had been worried about "would they collapse suddenly"—there were stones underneath, not "nothing at all", so I felt more at ease.
However, after taking the first step, the two quickly challenged for the second time... Although they still walked slowly step by step, with a cautious attitude of "what's wrong with this girl, I immediately flew back to the pillar area", but after all, there was no real challenge. ran back again.
And when they really let go of their fear, they found that in the corner of the transparent box, there was a sofa with several wooden signs in front of it, and then there was a person lying on the sofa with a cover on his head. This "Overlord Sword Art" - this is who clearly understands.
"..." When you see someone sleeping here calmly, you walk carefully step by step, as if you are mentally retarded, don't you think? Both of them are the type with slightly strong self-esteem. As soon as their backbones are up, they pretend to be calm and walk. Walking and walking quickly become really reassuring and bold.
"Ninth sister, come and see here~~"
"… Um?"
The wooden sign in front of the sofa clearly had words on it, and the two of them read the words on the sign subconsciously before calling up Liz, who didn't know if he was asleep or not.
"I don't think I did anything wrong, I was forced by Zhang Jing"
"Please bear with me if you think I'm an eyesore. If neither I nor Sakuya are here, I don't know when this tower will collapse."
"Although I have taken safety measures, please don't smash the glass hard, you will be responsible for the consequences"
"If you want to enjoy the high-altitude summer breeze and the best view, please go to the second floor, but please note that people on the first floor can look up and see the spring under your skirts"
"The most important point, don't disturb me to rest, how long do you think I spent in the hot sun digging rocks and building this thing, and after you go back, I will be responsible for tearing down this thing! 》
"… "
"… "
Well, the two cousins looked at each other and let go of someone from another world who was exhausted. Without thinking about it, they walked up to the second floor along the stairs made of white glass for conspicuousness.
"!" Sure enough, there is a hot wind with summer heat, this is the temperature that summer should be!
However, at this moment, they are not complaining about this hot wind, because this wind makes them feel that they are no longer in a transparent box... but in the sky! The flow of air made them hallucinate!
Moreover, at this time, they came back to their senses, what position they were in!
The hills around Murong Villa are only a few hundred meters high. After all, this is a summer resort rather than a remote rural area, and this tower is two or three times as high as the hill! Murong Villa and the mountains are in sight!
And this time is about to set the sun.
"what… "
Half a month ago, Murong Jiu always thought that she was knowledgeable and both civil and military. Among the younger generation, only Zhang Jing could compare with her. However, the appearance of someone made her feel that she was a frog in a well with shallow knowledge and no self-knowledge. .
But at this moment, her unhappiness suddenly disappeared! This is a view that can make a person with a chicken belly expand their minds!
"so beautiful… "
Zhang Jing believes that she has traveled in the arena and has seen real villains and hypocrites, and will not be easily deceived by simple sweet words, but someone whose behavior style is not very close to "gentleman" and "boy" has broadened her horizons again. .
At least at this moment, she was fascinated by this scene...
