Chapter 1438: Chapter 1439: Reasonable Demands

The lunch was very sumptuous, and some maids took the chance to sneak a peek while delivering food, quietly asking if they were really going to perform magic in the castle, only to be chased off by the housekeeper.

Maid Xiao Si left for a moment in the middle, and while eating, Yan Jiayu said, "How many Xiao Sis have you encountered? I’ve come across three just now."

"Two," Xu Huo replied. "She should have the ability to duplicate herself, it’s not just a trick."

Yan Jiayu nodded, "I noticed too. I wonder if their capabilities are the same. If her duplicates maintain high combat effectiveness, it would be difficult for players to get out once they come in."

"Have you figured out a reasonable way to enter the castle rooms?"

Finding props in the castle will certainly not be as easy as wandering outside the door like now.

"But taking the props will make you a criminal, so forget about passing the level."

"Before the magic show, I’ll ask for a permit to gain access to the castle rooms," Xu Huo said. "After the performance, I’ll request the prop from the King."

"That method might work," Yan Jiayu whispered. "I just inquired from the servants, after the King got sick, it’s the Queen who has been handling castle affairs. The Queen holds the same authority as the King within the castle, and everyone knows it. If things don’t work out with the King, we can try the Queen, surely they can’t both be players."

"If they really are both players, then pretend I didn’t say anything."

Xu Huo smiled slightly and quickly mentioned the matter about the mine, "If straightforward requests don’t work, we can only try Moon City."

Yan Jiayu had no objections. It’s hard to find the stolen gemstones, but the borrowed gemstone from Moon City can be stolen and returned to Jewel City.

"The relationship between Jewel City and Moon City may not be good; there’s a chance that crimes committed in Moon City won’t be pursued by Jewel City."

Whether the relationship between Jewel City and Moon City is good is unknown, but the laws must differ, and players who think like this are also many. After gaining nothing in Jewel City, they’ll likely turn to Moon City soon.

An hour after lunch, a maid came to take them to see Lady Liya.

This beautiful woman lay reclined on a sofa, her plump body sunk into the soft cushions made of fox fur, exuding an aura of laziness. When Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu entered, she merely lifted her eyelids and said with a smile, "Quite good-looking."

That was all she said as she ate a cherry and casually asked, "What shows would you guys perform?"

Following yesterday’s schedule, Xu Huo listed their performances, but Lady Liya said, "That’s not enough; show your best. If you can amuse the Queen, you can ask for anything."

"Even the treasures in the castle?" Yan Jiayu couldn’t help but ask.

Lady Liya slightly raised her head, looking at her carefully, "So young, yet such an appetite."

"As long as you can make the Queen smile, what’s a little treasure," Lady Liya said with a hint of melancholy. After a pause, she added, "However, the things in the castle belong to the Queen and King, you need their consent."

"Let’s hear your specialties first."

With Maid Xiao Si present, Xu Huo was unsure how much this lady knew about what players could do, so he mentioned his Super Evolution Power, indicating he could teleport people within a certain range, even through walls, though this magic couldn’t last too long, as longevity would lead to exposure. f.(r)eewe/bnov\ll.com

Lady Liya became a little interested, resting her chin on her hand, intrigued, "Then you can freely come and go within the castle?"

Xu Huo smiled, "It’s not real wall-passing magic, you still need to use the door to enter rooms, the rest is just a magician’s sleight of hand."

Lady Liya wasn’t interested in the principles, but she did want to see the performance. So she asked him to perform immediately.

"This magic looks more realistic at night," Xu Huo declined politely, "Moreover, this is the King’s Castle, I wouldn’t dare wander carelessly." fre ewebno(v)e\l.(c)om

Lady Liya didn’t press him and instead muttered to herself, "Indeed, I should inform the Queen, after all, it’s the King’s Castle."

She said this, stood up, and walked straight out through the small door behind her. Judging from the footsteps, there’s a small room behind the door, and not long after, there was the sound of another door opening, and behind two walls, the sound of her movements gradually diminished.

Not long afterward, another Xiao Si walked out from the small door, telling Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, "Tonight, Lady Liya is preparing a banquet for the Queen. You can perform during the intermission, and the Queen has already agreed you can enter and exit the rooms in the castle during your magic performance, promising a reward of a treasure if your show is spectacular, but you are not allowed to ask for maids."

"Praise to the kind Queen," Xu Huo slightly bowed.

The matter of tonight was settled, and next was the preparation time for the two of them, during which the guards would inspect the tools they brought along. Most of the tools were for distraction and unusable, so inspection was irrelevant, but since they were to meet the King and Queen, even their clothing and shoes needed to be changed.

Xu Huo declined the maid’s offer to have their old clothes washed and pressed, opting instead to lock them in the case they brought.

"Are there secrets to your performance in your clothes?" the maid realized, then slowly lowered her voice with a shy smile as Xu Huo gestured ’shh’, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to lock this door later."

"Thank you," Xu Huo smiled.

The maid left with her cheeks slightly flushed, looked back sneakily at the door.

Yan Jiayu, puzzled, asked, "Why was she winking at you?"

"Probably just dry eyes," Xu Huo replied.

Yan Jiayu had a ’suspicious of being lied to but no evidence’ look, and then heard the maid who just left talk to others about Xu Huo’s handsomeness and understood, "Ah, it was courtship."

Xu Huo was at a loss for words and switched the topic to Duan Cheng and Li Kun, "They should have entered the castle by now; we need to notify them beforehand to avoid any incidents tonight."

If there were disturbances about theft, the performance would definitely be ruined.

"That’s simple, I’ll go and tell them," Yan Jiayu said.

"I’ll go," Xu Huo replied. "You need to draw the guards’ attention, so prepare more props."

Yan Jiayu nodded, confidently entrusting the task to him.

Xu Huo went to the rear kitchen, there’s also a kitchen on the side wing tower, preparing for the night’s food. Duan Cheng and Li Kun had successfully brought things in, though the guards wouldn’t let them roam freely, insisting they leave after having a meal.

By the time Xu Huo arrived, both were already showing signs of impatience.
