The dark night only stayed for a symbolic period of time, and soon the sky light came on again, representing another early morning outside the window. The announcement was the first to wake up the sleeping house, and the maid hurried into the house, saying "Gabai"
Line up to freshen up and change clothes.
"After dressing up carefully, Gabriel got into the carriage and went to the palace to meet Henry IV. Recently, Henry IV relied more and more on her intelligence..."
Hearing the name "Henry IV" and considering the environment he was in, even though Lin Sanjiu's knowledge of world history was limited, he vaguely guessed that he must be in France in the Middle Ages, when the Bourbon Dynasty had just begun. While listening,
As the announcement sounded, she sat down on the iron board with some enthusiasm, letting it carry her forward in the quiet morning of the first snow.
Just before leaving the house, Lin Sanjiu pulled off a piece of red velvet curtain and wrapped it around her body; in the silent white snow, she was the only one with a bright red back, gliding smoothly.
The situation in "Journey of Time and Space" has a different speed from the flow of time outside: more than thirty minutes have actually passed since she came in, but the story seems to have just begun.
The meeting with King Henry only lasted a few symbolic minutes. Apart from looking at the famous "Good King Henry" in history with great interest, Lin Sanjiu did almost nothing; after being invited to attend
After a ball held in the palace, she was sent out of the palace again on a metal board——
"However, as soon as they left the palace, Gabriel's carriage was stopped."
As the announcement slowly sounded, Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes and stood up from the board.
In front of her was a dark-haired man of medium height and strong limbs. If it weren't for riding a horse, he would probably be slightly shorter than her. Judging from his appearance, he should look like a nobleman, and he was followed by servants who looked like they were hunting.
The look he just looked at Lin Sanjiu was mixed with forbearance, malice, disgust...all kinds of emotions, and finally turned into something twisted, making people feel uncomfortable all over just looking at it.
"...My dear Gabriel." His voice was sweet, but his tone made Lin Sanjiu think of snakes. "I really hope I can call it an accident to meet you here."
After waiting for a few seconds, the announcement still did not sound.
"Since we are all going home, let's go together - oh, unless you have somewhere else to go?" The man smiled mockingly, then turned the horse's head and walked on Lin Sanjiu's pedal.
Next to her, maintaining the same speed as her.
What on earth does he want to do?
Just when Lin Sanjiu was wondering who this man was, the man lowered his head from his horse with a smile on his face. He looked so kind and strangely kind. He lowered his voice and said slowly: "...there is something for a couple to do.
I have to remind you. You are getting too close to His Majesty the King, and someone seems to be resentful of you at this time - I hope you haven't forgotten that there is a story that has been circulating in this country... Queen Margot
The Valois family has dark secrets passed down from generation to generation."
"After Gabriel had a cold war, she raised her eyes again and found that her husband had turned a corner and walked away. Since her affair with the king was exposed, her husband rarely came back to her.
Went to the mansion..."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but scratch her hair irritably.
What a messy relationship this is...!
If the queen wanted to kill her, her husband looked like he would be the first to applaud her.
Now that she knew that a character was going to be detrimental to her, Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that as long as she guarded against the attack from Queen Margaret and survived until the end of the tour, she could pass the first game.
I don’t know what the so-called secret technique is... Lin Sanjiu thought as he returned to the mansion. After calling his sister Vera, the two sisters got busy with tonight’s dance - of course
, the only one who was really busy was Vera; Lin Sanjiu was sitting cross-legged on the pedals. His bone wings were slightly open, and he had already turned on the "pure touch" state to be on guard.
Kurosawa Ji once mentioned a little bit about why her combat power was insufficient and how to fight on the basis of the "pure touch" state. Although it was very vague, it was only this little information that she could learn from at the moment.
In addition to criticizing Lin Sanjiu for relying solely on instinct and strength when fighting, Kurosawa Ji once mentioned that she was not "smooth" and was completely "blocked piece by piece" and was also "deaf and blind."
"Blind"; but when she asked what it meant specifically, Kurosawa immediately became impatient and explained it to her. He only said, "You will understand in actual combat."
…Now I don’t know where to go to find out.
"It's blocked piece by piece...?"
Lin Sanjiu stood on the pedal and tried to punch forward with some confusion.
...At this time, next to her, there was a ball where people were drinking and drinking. Countless well-dressed men and women were holding wine glasses, with flowers in their hair, chatting and laughing loudly; several painters who looked like they were of the Fontainebleau school.
Sitting in the corner, applying oil paint...
Only one person briefly captured her attention.
She was a blond beauty with a slender neck, graceful and gorgeous temperament, and a long, shiny and gorgeous dress slid down from the seat like water. It was difficult not to attract others' attention. But she didn't seem very happy.
Sitting with a cold face, from beginning to end, not even turning his eyes towards Henry IV next to him - it was Queen Margaret.
...Is she the one who wants to attack me?
Lin Sanjiu muttered and tried to punch again, and happened to knock the wine glass out of a certain gentleman's hand - the latter made an ouch, obviously under the power of the "Time and Space Journey" project, he said with a smile
He said "I almost stained the Duchess's dress, I'm so sorry" and left calmly.
Sighing, Lin Sanjiu was a little confused.
After experiencing the four worlds, she still understands some basic fighting knowledge. For example, when punching, you can't just shake your shoulders; after your feet are firmly planted, your waist, abdomen, and back must all work together.
Strength, such a punch not only relies on the strength of the wrist, but also the weight of the upper body; only such a punch will be heavy and painful.
Lin Sanjiu felt that she had done a good job - after all, the arm punched and the upper body also exerted force. How could this be called a blockage?
Also, her ears and eyes are obviously very sensitive and easy to use——
Just as his thoughts turned to this point, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt something. Before his brain could react, his body had suddenly entered a "pure touch" state.
She couldn't even tell what exactly happened at that moment, but almost every piece of skin behind her, from the back of her head, back, to her calves, was telling her that there was a space behind her that had collapsed.
She didn't even have time to turn her head, she had already felt the huge suction that suddenly burst out when the space collapsed; as if a small black hole had opened, Lin Sanjiu jumped into the air with a roar, facing behind her like an unsupported feather.
Fly straight away——
The guests along the way stopped to have a glass of wine and chat, and looked up at her blankly. They were not affected by this strong suction at all. Looking forward along the faces, Queen Margaret's
A smile finally appeared on the face with standard and beautiful features.
"Oh shit!"
Lin Sanjiu cursed fiercely and finally understood what Kurosawa Ji meant.
Who were the people standing behind her just now? What did they do just before the black hole appeared? What was the thing that was being sucked closer to her at this time?
Even with the "pure touch" state, she still couldn't answer any of these questions; what's the difference between this and being deaf and blind!
This series of thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant; in the flash of lightning, Lin Sanjiu's bone wings stretched forward with all their strength, and while creating a gust of wind, they also plunged into the palace pillars.
Up. Her body suddenly swayed in the air, and her legs flew up. Before she could completely stabilize her body, she saw a rectangular black shadow passing by -
The bone wing on the other side seemed to react faster than Lin Sanjiu. It suddenly opened sideways, and while blocking the thing, it was also riddled with holes. But at least, the pedal was not lost.
"The player has stopped pedaling for 6 seconds." The announcer said in a steady tone.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed the pedal with holes everywhere, and tried hard to resist the strong suction with her other hand, clinging to the palace pillar. Her hair and legs were pointing straight back in the air at this time.
As long as she relaxes, she will be dragged behind——
Struggling to look back, she almost forgot to breathe.
She just glanced at it casually, and then looked away. At this time, there was a middle-aged man sitting with a paintbrush and a smile on his face. He had already completed half of the painting, and he had already turned half of it.
The front is facing the direction of Lin Sanjiu; if you look carefully, you can see that it is exactly where "Gabriel" was standing just now. The guests, servants, decorations, and countertops are all around. Even though it is only a few strokes, it outlines the
Living form.
Only the place where "Gabriel" stood was blank on the canvas.
"Come in quickly. Once you come in, I will finish the painting." She seemed to hear the short painter say in a low voice.
It turns out that Queen Margaret’s so-called secret skill is this——
A second-rate painter who was squeezed out of Italy, the art capital of the time, finally discovered the secret to becoming a master. If my paintings are not vivid, then wouldn't it be enough to put living people in them?
How to use: When the object is not discovered, draw as much of the environment around it as possible; when the surrounding environment is perfect to a certain extent, the object will be sucked into the painting.
Just when Lin Sanjiu's nails were about to break, the long announcement sounded again.
"Players encounter special items, please pay attention, please pay attention. If you can avoid this disaster, you may be able to pocket this item..." (To be continued.)
