The players play the role of royal knights in the game.
However, Bai Xue, as a princess, did not recognize them and even believed the lies of the so-called mercenary group.
This is obviously not normal.
What is she hiding
Or... .
Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun looked at each other, but did not ask directly. Instead, they looked away from each other tacitly and chatted with Princess Bai Xue about family matters. It was not until the Victory Formula and the others had spread out the quilts and set up the curtains on the other side that the dwarf boss found time to come over.
"Your Highness...it's getting late."
"Please go back and rest."
"Hmm."
Princess Bai Xue did not refuse after hearing this. She stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and said to Gu Moli and the others with a smile, "Then I will go to rest first. I am glad that you are willing to chat with me, but if possible, please leave this country as soon as possible."
"I see."
"See you tomorrow morning then?"
"See you in the morning."
After seeing Princess Bai Xue off, Victory Formula and others immediately came over.
"How's it going? Is it done?"
"What did the princess say?"
"Is there any useful information?"
Before Gu Moli could speak, Zhiji Nanxun said, "It seems that Princess Bai Xue doesn't want to talk about her mother, but it's basically the same as what we know. It seems that the boss behind the scenes is definitely Princess Snow White, but if you want to attack her..."
"Oh yeah, about this..."
Victory Formula's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said quite complacently: "The dwarf boss seems to be happy to provide assistance. When I tried to persuade him to fight Snow White together, he said he needed to think about it. But I think he should have been shaken, so there is a chance to convince him."
"Oh?"
Gu Moli raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Those seven dwarves were no simple people. Not only did they possess magical bows and arrows that could drive away wild beasts, but they were also able to build such a small villa deep in the forest. This was enough to show their strength.
The problem is... .
"Is it credible?"
“Trustworthy.”
As soon as the words fell, Victory Formula seemed to feel that it was a little inaccurate, and continued to add: "... Strictly speaking, they are trustworthy in going with us to Snow White's castle."
Then he showed his character panel, and in his equipment column, there was such a piece of equipment.
... ... ... ... ...
Equipment Card: Ring of Friends
Quality: Rare
Grade: F
Attack +0, Speed +0, Defense +0, Constitution +0, Skill +0, Mystic +0

Features: As long as you stand in the circle, everyone will be good friends who can talk about anything. It is of special use to all NPCs and you can hear their true words.
Note: Once the paper is torn, it is useless.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
"I spread it on the ground before we started chatting, and then covered it with dust. So the dwarf boss was standing in the circle and talking to me. I think it is at least 90% credible."
"I guess they are the NPCs that can be won over. I plan to talk to them tomorrow. It should be similar to the online games we used to play. As long as we complete the tasks they give us, they will join our camp. Then our chances of defeating Snow White will improve."
“This is really… ”
"... unexpectedly reliable."
Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun murmured in a low voice almost at the same time, one after the other.
And at the same time.
“A-choo!”
“Hiss…!”
Hua Qiong and Beidou Xingjun, who were somewhere unknown, suddenly shuddered at the same time.
What's going on
Just as the players were discussing tomorrow's plans outside the villa and spending the first night of the game script, on the top floor of the villa.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest."
"Hmm."
Princess Bai Xue stretched and then looked at the dwarf leader: "Good night, Docot. Although I have said it once, I still want to repeat it again. I am really grateful that you and your brothers are willing to help me."
"No way."
The eldest dwarf shook his head, his expression once again showing a bit of sadness: "In fact, decades ago, we also helped your mother in this way."
“Seeing you brings back those days.”
"Your mother is really a very beautiful person, both in appearance and in heart, but I didn't expect that she would become like that in the end..."
"alright."
Princess Bai Xue was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply: "Docot, do you want to go with those mercenaries to attack my mother?"
“… … .”
"I should have told you, I'm not a brave man, I just want to stay in the forest..."
"Your Highness!"
Docot's voice suddenly became louder: "How can you say that? You are the last hope of this country. If Snow White... let your mother rule the kingdom, she might turn the whole kingdom into a kingdom of death for her own youth!"
"And all this is our fault... We must make up for it!"
"But... she is my mother."
"... .I see."
Princess Bai Xue lowered her head sadly, and it took her a long time to cheer up: "... In this case, Docot, if you and your brothers really want to go, then go ahead, but I won't go. No matter what, I don't want to be an enemy of my mother."
"... Yes, Princess."
"Good night."
"Good night."
The wooden door of the room closed gently, and the sound of Docot's departing footsteps gradually became inaudible. Princess Baixue stood in the room like a sculpture. It was unknown how much time had passed before she suddenly came to her senses. She looked around in a daze, and then sat down at the desk in the room.
“Hu… ..”
Princess Bai Xue took a deep breath, then took out the notebook she had used when chatting with Gu Moli.
He moved his fingers across the pages of the book, turning directly to the latest blank page, then picked up the feather pen on the desk, dipped it in ink and began to write.
"On the evening of April 8, the weather was cloudy."
"This is such a lucky day. After a long nightmare, I finally woke up. Since I left my mother and my country, this is the first time I feel so clearly that I am still alive. I really don't want to experience this feeling of escaping death again."
"... ... ... "
"Mom killed Dad, and for the so-called eternal life, she also wants to kill me."
"what do I do?"
"What can I do?"
Princess Bai Xue began to write faster and her face gradually turned paler. She seemed to hear vaguely a burst of dull footsteps coming from the depths of the corridor outside the door.
Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong... After the footsteps, the creaking sound of the wooden floor was heard.
The sound is getting closer.
It seemed like someone was approaching, and finally, the sound stopped in front of the door.
“I survived this time.”
“But that may not be the case next time.”
"I'm going to die."
"I... ... ."
Princess Bai Xue's movements came to an abrupt halt.
Next second.
She started writing again, moving her pen with increasing force, almost tearing the paper in the notebook. After an unknown amount of time, she finally put down her pen.
Then she closed the notebook, opened the drawer, and took out a red and white apple.
"... .Heh."
With unspeakable fear flashing in her eyes and a big smile on her lips, Princess Bai Xue took a deep breath and held the apple to her lips...
... ..bite hard on the red side.
