Yan Li was completely dumbfounded at this moment. She looked at the several unopened crystal coffins in front of her, and then turned her gaze back to Wen Ze:
"My lord, you'd better not joke around at a time like this."
Her heart couldn't take this kind of stimulation. "Isn't it said that one of these crystal coffins contains a real princess? How is it possible that we can't find her?"
Wen Ze looked at Yan Li and said bluntly, "I'm not lying to you, but what if the princess you're looking for is already dead?"
"Ayan, the Nadavi Kingdom was destroyed at least three hundred years ago. Why do you think a human princess could still be alive today?"
Yan Li: "Wasn't she under a sleeping curse?"
She knew, of course, that ordinary humans wouldn't live that long.
But aren't there still kind witches?
She saved the princess's life, provided that a truly virtuous and pure warrior was willing to offer his sincere heart...
“Yes, she did starve to death later.” Wen Ze said considerately, then paused for a few seconds before offering another reasonable explanation: “Of course, it’s also possible that she suffocated.”
But this was not the answer Yan Li wanted. Her handcuffed fingers pointed to the crystal coffin in front of her. "Then where is the person inside?"
“I clearly remember…” They were breathing.
“It’s just an illusion.” Wen Ze interrupted Yan Li. “There was hallucinogenic incense in the crystal coffin. The people you saw before are actually all dead.”
"It's because you feel they are alive that you can see them breathing."
Yan Li was truly dumbfounded.
She thought she was getting closer and closer to the truth, but she never expected the truth to be like this.
Yan Li: "I don't believe it."
Do not trust anyone in the castle.
She can't believe it.
The princess must still be alive; she must complete her mission.
Wen Ze loosened the shackles binding Yan Li and said softly, "If you don't believe me, Yan Li, you can go and look anywhere in the castle that you think could hide someone."
"I won't stop you."
Looking at the extremely candid Wen Ze, Yan Li still couldn't recover. She looked at the crystal coffins in front of her, slowly walked forward, and asked the last question of the day:
"So these crystal coffins can only be opened at midnight?"
Wen Ze didn't hesitate this time and immediately agreed: "Of course."
As he finished speaking, Yan Li lowered his hand, which had failed to push open the coffin lid.
After coming out of the second floor, she went back to her room on the third floor.
Princesses and warriors, it's all fake.
Only this witch visiting the castle could be more real.
Perhaps she was too tired, Yan Li felt sleepy again after closing her eyes while lying on the bed.
"It's been over a month, so I should be considered the winner, right?"
The house was pitch black after the curtains were drawn, and that's when those fluffy little balls of fur appeared.
"I don't think so yet. The Warriors haven't gone crazy yet. I guess we'll have to wait a few more days."
"Do you think the lord is reluctant to part with these warriors?" A green, fluffy ball of fur rolled around on the ground.
Pink fluffy ball: "Nonsense, I think the lord just can't bear to part with the strangers who were tricked into coming here. Don't you think about how long the lord has been asleep?"
"Three hundred years, that's a full three hundred years."
“Yes, the lord hasn’t seen a living person in three hundred years, so it’s normal for him to be a little soft-hearted.” The orange fluffy ball echoed the pink ball’s words.
Having learned their lesson last time, they were noisy and didn't worry at all about waking Yan Li, who knew what they were saying.
What they didn't know was that Yan Li could still understand.
To help her complete the task smoothly, the system provided her with multiple language packs and also provided her with systematic training.
Therefore, she easily understood what the group of fluffy creatures were talking about.
Don't believe anyone in the castle.
So these fluffy little creatures aren't people, right? So what they're saying is true?
Three hundred years?
Yan Li thought of what Wen Ze had said today: three hundred years had passed since Nadavi Saint destroyed the country, so it was very likely that he also did not know what happened afterward.
Yan Li did not believe Wen Ze's claim that the princess was dead, since the system would not issue a mission that could not be completed.
If all else fails, she will have no choice but to leave the castle.
Yan Li had a good plan, but she hadn't considered at all whether Wen Ze would let her leave, or whether she was even able to leave.
Midnight.
As Yan Li went downstairs and walked toward the room where the last four crystal coffins were placed, she happened to see Wen Ze waiting at the door.
"I'll go in with A-Yan." Wen Ze seemed to have been waiting here on purpose, but upon seeing Yan Li arrive, he was afraid she would refuse him entry.
"Don't worry, Ayan. Even if Ayan wants to kiss those dead people, I won't interfere with Ayan's decision."
Yan Li: "..."
Why portray her as a necrophiliac?
Despite her thoughts, Yan Li did not reject Wen Ze's suggestion, after all, she did not know if something like the previous one would happen again.
After successfully entering the room, Yan Li went straight to the crystal coffin, unwilling to waste any time and eager for an answer.
To her surprise, one of the crystal coffins was empty.
Empty? !
The people in the other three crystal coffins, just as Wenze had told her before, were dead beyond any doubt, utterly lifeless.
Perhaps because they were of the same kind, Yan Li always felt that these people were emanating a strange magnetic field, constantly reminding her to leave.
