Chapter 76: Fateful Encounter (Part 2)
"Is there any need for Your Excellency to stop our team? It's just that we have important matters that cannot be delayed. I am Baron Billiver. If necessary, I can stay alone to talk to Your Excellency. Please let me
The other companions will go on the road first." Baron Billiver said.
He is a loyal knight. Even when faced with "abnormalities", he never forgets to take out the prince first.
But the reckless prince did not accept his love.
"Baron, I think I am the leader of this team." The prince, who had some special quirks, was so excited that he was a little carried away. "Everyone, I am the prince of this country. If you have anything, you can talk to me."
The prince rode up to the front of the team and said to the giant rats.
"Your Highness, they are 'abnormal'!"
Baron Billiver had nothing to do with this willful and reckless young master. At this time, he couldn't help but miss the king who also liked to be messy but was good at listening to advice.
"I know!" The prince rolled his eyes and whispered to Baron Billiver, "Don't worry, they are real, I'm sure."
Guaranteed? Baron Billiver was convinced. It was probably some "abnormal" means mastered by the royal family.
Just looking at the posture of these giant rats, Baron Billiver was still a little worried. After all, there was a pumpkin carriage behind the giant rats! God knows what more difficult characters are inside.
"What are the needs? I do have some needs, my dear Prince."
An old voice came from the pumpkin cart behind the giant rats. The giant rats divided into two rows, revealing the pumpkin cart behind them.
"But I need all of you!"
Old Tom, who was driving a pumpkin carriage, jumped out of the car. His rickety body made a rattling sound. Huge teeth protruded from his mouth. His body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and black hair was spread all over.
The whole body! Suddenly transformed into a three-headed monster.
The head in the middle of the three monsters has scarlet eyes and hot air spraying out from its nostrils. Even the most reckless prince knows that the monster in front of him is not easy to deal with.
"Your Excellency, is there really nothing to talk about?"
The prince asked unwillingly.
Baron Billiver raised his right hand, and the well-trained cavalrymen had already grasped their weapons.
The prince was answered by three deafening roars.

The hall was illuminated by thousands of candles. The dim yellow candlelight flickered and danced on the walls, casting strange shadows on the tall stone walls. A huge crystal chandelier hung under the dome, as if it was ready to be swallowed at any time.
The mouth of the giant beast of light, its exquisitely cut facets scatter light in all directions, but cannot dispel the deep darkness in the corner. It seems that there are countless pairs of eyes hidden in it peeping at this grand dance.
Paine felt horrified. One moment, there were corpses everywhere, and the lucky ones were still sobbing in the pile of corpses. The next moment, his vision went dark, and the scene changed into what he saw before him.
"What a crazy and twisted world this is!"
Paine couldn't help but wailed in his heart. Even with his thick nerves and rich "knowledge", he couldn't bear such severe changes.
Now the floor of the hall is shiny and paved with black and white marble, like a huge chessboard. Every step you take on it is like stepping into an unknown square of destiny. There are pictures hanging on the surrounding walls.
In the ancient portrait, the eyes of the characters in the painting seemed to have come to life under the candlelight, staring indifferently at the people spinning on the dance floor, and their faded lips seemed to be silently telling the secrets and curses of the past.
The tall arched windows were half-covered by thick velvet curtains, and the night outside was as thick as ink. Occasionally, cold wind squeezed in from the gaps, fluttering the hem of the curtains, causing the indoor scene reflected on the windows to distort.
Through the window, you can see the trees in the distance shadowy in the darkness, like a group of lurking giant beasts. The branches rustle in the wind, as if they are whispering unknown evil spells.
The long dining table is covered with a black velvet tablecloth, with exquisite silver tableware and crystal glasses filled with wine. However, the wine in the glass shows a dark red color, like blood, under the flickering candlelight.
, shining with an unsettling sheen. Although the food on the plate looked delicious and delicious, it exuded a faint rancid smell, as if these delicacies had been left in the dark for too long.
The people on the dance floor were dressed in gorgeous clothes, colorful but with an old-fashioned atmosphere, as if these clothes had been dusted in the depths of time for a long time. The skirts of the ladies were dragging on the ground, swinging with the dance steps, like a
Strange flowers blooming in the dark swamp; the men's tuxedos are straight and slim, but under the candlelight, there is a depressing black halo.
The band was playing music on one side of the hall. The instruments in their hands made a low and depressed sound, but the melodious melody seemed to be mixed with some discordant notes, like traces of fear and uneasiness hidden under the beautiful appearance.
The low hum of the cello is like a dull roar coming from the ground, the high pitch of the violin is like the shrill cry of a night owl, the whimper of the flute is like the sigh of a lingering soul in the wind, and the notes of the piano are like a heavy sigh.
The sound of music swirled and echoed in the hall, as if it was a sad song coming from the depths of hell. Paine felt an inexplicable fear and despair welling up deep in his heart.
There are huge bronze sculptures placed in the corner of the hall, with twisted and weird shapes. Some are multi-headed monsters entwined with each other, and some are monsters with human bodies and fish tails holding sharp blades. The patina on their bodies flickers under the candlelight, as if they are waiting for an opportunity to wake up.
Come here. There is a grand mural painted on the ceiling above, depicting the battle between heaven and hell. However, the faces of angels and demons in the picture are blurred, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. It seems that in this dark world, everything is unclear.
Has been confused.
"Let us welcome the focus and protagonist of this ball - the prince of this country, my heir!"
The naked, fat king sat high on the throne at the end of the hall, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden mysterious symbols. Those symbols seemed to flow faintly in the dim light, exuding a kind of chilling magic. He
His face was extremely pale, like a piece of bloodless parchment. The deep-set eye sockets were inlaid with a pair of ruthless and evil little eyes. They were like two will-o’-wisps in the cold night, shining with a cold, sharp and greedy light. Not at all.
Similar to the mediocre appearance before.
He held a gorgeous scepter tightly in his hand, with a huge black gem inlaid on the top. There seemed to be dark red light flowing in the gem, as if some ancient and evil soul was sealed, always ready to devour the surrounding people.
All life.
The scepter pointed at the woman in red beside him. She was Callister Billiver, who lost her head in the croquet game before! She is alive again?!
What a crazy unfolding!
Paine's mind was filled with questions at this time. He finally understood what Callister meant when she said, "The prince has become one with me."
Emotionally, you are the prince of sexual transformation? This is too crazy.
Before Paine could decide what to do next, the heavy door creaked open.
"Father, I think I am the focus of this dance!"
Chapter completed!
