Hansel's brows frowned visibly, like a rugged mountain range, and there was a look of warning in his eyes. The fog was so strange, and he hadn't even noticed it before.
This is really an unusual thing for him.
Unknowingly, they were surrounded by fog and could not see clearly the outside environment.
When Hansel was about to study the mist, little Prince Liszt suddenly shouted, "Hansel, Hansel..."
"I'm here, Your Highness." Hansel quickly turned his head and looked at little Prince Liszt, only to find that this guy had been opened by the floor door.
After the floor door is opened, there are several steps below that are made of no apparent material, and more steps are shrouded in darkness.
"Hansel, it's amazing! There is actually a cellar here. How about we enter it together and have a look?" Little Prince Liszt suggested to Hansel eagerly.
"Your Highness, this kind of thing is too weird. My suggestion is to go back to the capital to find more people to explore this mysterious cellar." Hansel said conservatively.
"Hansel, where is your courage? Didn't you say that you are a guy who takes risks everywhere?" Little Prince Liszt curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hansel was stunned by what little Prince Liszt said, "Oops, the character is about to collapse!"
He laughed dryly, covering up the unnatural flash in his eyes. He paused for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, if it were just me, then I would naturally leave death behind and enter this unknown world without any scruples.
in the treasure house. But not now!"
"You are the light of the future and the light of hope for the Kingdom of Svacia. I can't take risks. Your life is more important than you think!" Hansel said with sincere eyes and a sincere expression, matching his deep and magnetic voice.
, full of contagion.
This flattery directly made little Prince Liszt happy, although he tried very hard to control his emotions and not let his joy show out, so as not to make Hansel feel that he was superficial.
But it's no use.
The smile still appeared from the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Little Prince Liszt's eyes narrowed to a slit, and he said to Hansel, "Hansel, thank you! But I'm not as important as you said!"
"I'm just a little prince. Before me, there were two powerful brothers. They were much more powerful than me."
"You told me that the Lord of Holy Light is watching us. The appearance of this mysterious cellar, I believe it is the Lord of Holy Light who is helping me! Although it is a bit regretful that I have betrayed the trust of the great Lord of Holy Light.
But no matter what, the opportunity is right in front of me, and I can’t give up just because I’m afraid to move forward!”
Little Prince Liszt said plausibly.
"How about... Your Highness, let me go inside and take a look first!" After a moment of silence, Hansel suggested to little Prince Liszt.
"No! The great holy light is shining on us! We will not be in danger! What's more, I heard that in ancient times, those real kings fought at the front!" Little Prince Liszt said matter-of-factly.
So they are all dead, or cuckolded. Hansel said silently in his heart.
The sudden appearance of the cellar gave Hansel a really bad feeling, but no matter how Hansel tried to persuade him, little Prince Liszt insisted on entering it.
Hansel finally realized why others called this guy the "short-minded" prince.
In the end, little Prince Liszt was still a little sulky with Hansel, so he took the sphinx feather and rushed straight into the cellar.
Hansel had no choice but to follow closely.
"Da da... da da da..." the sound of footsteps.
In the end, the figures of Hansel and little Prince Liszt were swallowed up by the darkness.
With a "Gada" sound, the floor door closed automatically and silently.
If people are in a closed space, they will suffer from cabin fever.
But little Prince Liszt, who had been walking in the darkness for several minutes, still looked slightly excited and looked around curiously.
Hansel, who was standing behind him, shook his head. He didn't know what else he could see in this invisible environment. Did he think it was him?
After walking for about another minute, the two finally came to a platform.
In front is a wooden door with a dim yellow light.
There is a pattern with rough lines on the door, which seems to be drawn with some strange claw as a pen. It always looks weird.
The pattern is relatively vague, but you can faintly see that in the center is a monster with a pointed head and eyes that take up most of the face. In front of the monster is a group of various creatures worshiping, including people, snakes, eagles, and fish.
There are also many creatures whose patterns cannot be seen.
Little Prince Liszt and Hansel looked at each other.
Hansel asked little Prince Liszt, "Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course I'm entering." Little Prince Liszt looked very strange.
"..." Hansel was speechless. Before he could say anything, little Prince Liszt had already knocked on the door.
Oops, I didn’t expect him to be such a polite prince. Seeing this scene, Hansel complained in his heart, but his body was prepared to deal with various special situations at any time.
A burst of noise came from inside through the door.
Hansel can guarantee that in his experience of traveling to so many countries, he has never heard such a sound that is not like what normal humans can make. However, what surprised him was that both he and little Prince Lister heard this sound clearly.
The meaning of sound.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Let’s see who comes.”
Hansel looked at little Prince Liszt, and little Prince Liszt also happened to look at Hansel at this time. Both of them could see the solemn look in each other's eyes.
Here, with a creak, the door opened.
What appeared in front of Hansel and little Prince Liszt was a toad who was half the height of a man, wearing a palace maid's costume and red blush.
Little Prince Liszt was obviously frightened. He backed away repeatedly and almost fell down, but Hansel helped him.
Hansel's performance was slightly better, but his eyes were full of solemnity - a magical creature with the strength of a first-level wizard.
However, just a magical creature with the strength of a first-level wizard cannot make Hansel so solemn.
The more he looked at this toad maid, behind it were toad heads with sharp points.
They are all magical creatures!
The lowest ones have the strength of a first-level wizard.
However, the most terrifying thing was a big toad wearing a crown and a gorgeous dress. It was sitting on the throne in the center. Just sitting there gave Hansel great pressure.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Dear guest, welcome to your arrival."
At this time, the toad maid said enthusiastically.
"Hansel, what do you think we should do?" Little Prince Liszt's voice trembled a little.
"I don't know, Your Highness, either." Hansel said angrily, although he knew that according to the normal development of the plot, nothing would happen to little Prince Liszt, but he was just afraid of what might happen.
The real situation may deviate from what he has learned, and it is difficult for Hansel to grasp how it will develop in the end.
Hansel looked back at the stairs and found that the stairs had disappeared into the mist. Little Prince Liszt also discovered this and immediately took a breath of cold air.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Dear guest, welcome to your arrival."
The toad maid repeated, staring at little Prince Liszt with her big eyes.
Little Prince Liszt was worthy of being called a short-minded prince. Now that he had reached this point, he went all out and encouraged himself by saying to Hansel, "Hansel, since the master invites us so warmly,
, we have no reason to refuse, so let us go in and take a good look at how the host will entertain us? I am a prince, and the standards for entertaining me cannot be low, otherwise it will make people laugh if word spreads."
Hansel was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at the little Prince Liszt, as if he was meeting him for the first time, and then smiled, "As you command, my prince!"
"Haha, let's go!" Little Prince Liszt also laughed loudly, then waved his hand and led Hansel into the door.
Little Prince Liszt walked in smoothly, but Hansel was stopped by the toad maid.
"Why don't you let me in?" Hansel asked with suppressed anger.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Guest, you are not qualified to trade."
The toad maid danced and sang.
"Trading qualifications? What is this?" Hansel asked doubtfully.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
The feather of faith is the evidence.”
Toad Maid explained.
"The Feather of Faith? Could it be it?" Hansel suddenly thought of the feather in the hand of little Prince Liszt - the feather of the Sphinx!
This time, the Toad Maid did not answer Hansel's questions. Instead, she closed the door with a bang, isolating the inside and outside, leaving only little Prince Lister inside.
With himself alone, little Prince Liszt became much calmer.
He looked at the various toad heads surging in the splendid room, and finally set his sights on the toad king in the center.
Its body is at least twice the size of the toad maid, and it exudes an aura of calmness and self-power.
It looked at little Prince Liszt expressionlessly.
Little Prince Liszt was aroused to resist, and he also looked at the Toad King unwilling to be outdone.
Suddenly the Toad King with the crown on his head moved, his mouth opened and closed, and a more complex and obscure sound with a magical melody came out,
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Little prince, what do you want to change?"
"Exchange for what? What can I exchange for? Can I exchange for anything?" Little Prince Liszt did not expect that the first words out of the big toad's mouth were like this, instead of saying how he wanted to eat him. After being stunned for a moment, he continued
asked.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
The pure soul is the medium,
Extreme desire is the reason,
The feather of faith is currency,
The toad who makes a wish fulfills his wish!"
The toad wearing a crown sang and explained to little Prince Liszt.
Although little Prince Liszt seemed to understand, he seemed to have heard that this big toad could fulfill his wish, right?
After thinking for a moment, he said to the big toad wearing a crown, "I want the most beautiful and best-quality carpet in the world."
The big toad listened, nodded, summoned a toad maid and said,
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Bring the big box and take a look."
The toad maid took the order and quickly moved a large box made of rosewood with ease.
The big toad wearing a crown opened the lid of the big box himself, and sang while opening it.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
I want the most beautiful and best carpet in the world."
What little Prince Liszt didn't notice was that when the big toad said this, a scale appeared in its two big eyes.
The scales are uneven.
The scales became balanced as a gorgeous rug appeared on one side and a sphinx's feathers appeared on the other.
Little Prince Liszt didn't notice at all that the sphinx feathers he brought in disappeared without knowing when.
His attention was attracted by the large opened box. Inside was a gorgeous carpet with fine texture, bright patterns and beautiful colors.
The big toad wearing a crown took it out and handed it to the little prince Liszt.
Only then did Little Prince Liszt realize that this was a handmade carpet made of pure silk. When you touch it, it feels like touching the skin of a beautiful woman. It has gorgeous geometric patterns with an aristocratic and noble charm, and full of exotic colors.
Flowers, birds, and patterns of flowers and plants form the main image of the entire carpet, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
At the very least, little Prince Liszt was completely obsessed with it.
He had searched the whole kingdom, and could not find a better rug in his memory.
He was convinced that this was the best and most beautiful carpet in the world.
Little Prince Liszt was simply ecstatic and full of confidence in this competition. At this time, the hateful-looking big toad became amiable in his eyes.
He thanked the big toad wearing a crown, said goodbye with satisfaction, and walked out of the room with the carpet and the toad's maid jumping around.
"The green maid is lame,
The lame puppy jumps everywhere,
Welcome to visit again next time!”
It will never come again next time. After little Prince Liszt walked out of the room, he exhaled and thought to himself.
Hansel, on the other hand, had been waiting impatiently outside the room for a long time. When he saw little Prince Liszt coming out safely, he immediately went up to him and asked carefully.
After little Prince Liszt answered Hansel casually, he started to show off to Hansel, "Hansel, look."
“The finest and most beautiful rugs in the world.”
