Chapter 42: If you run away for the first time, there will be a second time
After the competition, the players who want to go on stage will be given priority. A draw will only be held if no one is afraid to go on stage.
And if the person who draws the lot is not at his seat and has gone to the toilet, and the audience is not tired of waiting, they can have a new round of drawing lots.
"Ah? It can be done this way?" Philip was dumbfounded. If exams in the real world were so easy, how many students would wake up laughing in their sleep?
After thanking the "honest man", Philip discussed with the other two and decided to go to the forest to find Princess Aurora again.
When we first met yesterday, we talked mostly about family matters. After I went back, I realized that there were still many things I hadn't told her about. Princess Aurora is the key figure in deciding the specific direction of this fairy tale, and she must not make any mistakes, otherwise the difficulty of their game will soar up like a rocket.
Without further ado, they made up their minds and quickly slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet.
The "honest man" is still in the backstage team. His appearance is too common, and people may not remember him the next time they see him.
Two minutes later, the competition was so intense that no one paid attention to who had left the team or who was watching the game seriously.
The people behind rushed forward, trying to find the weaknesses of other contestants in the stands. Someone accidentally bumped the "honest man"'s clothes roughly, revealing his skirt underneath.
The "honest man" continued to straighten his clothes without any concern, revealing his two fangs in a sneer.
Then the man who bumped into him suddenly hit his chin on the fence for some reason, and seemed to have accidentally bitten his tongue. He lost consciousness in the severe pain and fell down.
The other players who were nearby were still confused and had no idea what had happened. They were rushed to the medical tent for treatment by the officers and soldiers who discovered him from behind.
At this time, the trio, led by Prince Joseph, who was good at finding their way, had arrived at the meeting place yesterday an hour earlier than yesterday.
Seeing that Princess Aurora was safe and sound and still there, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess Aurora~" Philip called him.
Lu Zhenqiu was originally setting traps out of boredom, but when he heard the familiar voice, he immediately looked towards Chu Cheng'an with a look of joy and ran over.
He was obviously happy to see him again.
Chu Cheng'an was of course also happy, but what he didn't know was that Lu Zhenqiu still hoped that he could stay here forever, sleep in the tree hole with him and never leave from now on.
His life alone in the tree hole made him numb. If he was not allowed to see Chu Chengan, he could have been quiet and waited until after his birthday. But now he couldn't do that anymore. He was planning to go out and see what mission Chu Chengan was doing.
He likes the teammate who has been with him since the first level, or maybe he has had feelings for him even earlier.
He likes Chu Cheng'an, but doesn't like Prince Joseph and Hanssen behind him.
Prince Joseph was accused because he boasted yesterday that he had slept with Philip, but Hanssen was even more wronged because he didn't say much yesterday.
It was because Prince Joseph was very kind to him and drove him hard when he was leaving that Lu Zhenqiu thought that the relationship between the two was unusual and that they must have done something bad together. He must have also been involved in helping Joseph sleep with Philip.
Joseph was not surprised to see Princess Aurora not looking at him straight in the eye. Yesterday he figured out the relationship between Philip and Princess Aurora. They must know each other in real life...
Then the difficulty of his game, including the difficulty of the tasks he will do later, will increase infinitely, and he will have to think of a way to deal with it in advance.
Joseph suddenly thought of something, and he asked the princess, "Has anyone from the castle searched this place?"
Princess Aurora answered him, "I did send a group of soldiers, but they fell into a trap. I was afraid that they would reveal my whereabouts when they returned, so I killed them all."
"Uh...?" Two of the three people couldn't keep up with her pace.
"..."Joseph thought, what a ruthless person.
This woman is not simple. She is indeed the most vicious.
Philip was completely speechless. He looked at Princess Aurora played by Lu Zhenqiu...
Although... but... isn't it too much to kill them all? Is this the kind of killing he understands?
Then he remembered that Rabbit had once scolded him as the Holy Father. Maybe it wasn't Lu Zhenqiu's problem. He was the one with the abnormal heart of a Bodhisattva. He should have adapted to the cruel world of dark fairy tales sooner.
Joseph said, "You killed all the soldiers who came to you? When did it happen?"
"It was not long after you left yesterday. Roughly speaking, it was around midnight."
"Then you can't stay here any longer. Every batch of soldiers sent out from the castle will have their whereabouts recorded. If they go missing inexplicably, the officials will definitely find out that something went wrong in the forest, and they will immediately send people to search again."
It seems to be the case. Lu Zhenqiu was usually busy with his studies and rarely watched historical dramas about power struggles. He might have a simple mind and simply killed the soldiers. Maybe the situation was urgent at the time and he didn't have time to think too much.
"Then we have to take the princess and flee!" said Philip.
"I can't take the princess with me to escape. We are unfamiliar with this area, and with the three of us... it's simply wishful thinking to want to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops of Fanfan. The best way is to hand the princess over to the military officers."
Joseph was very cruel.
"What?" Philip was incredulous. "Did a donkey kick you in the head? Which side are you on?"
Philip protected Princess Aurora behind him and prevented Joseph from getting close.
Joseph did not act immediately. He seemed to be unexpectedly calm every time. Even if he expressed his ideas, he would still think for a while before actually implementing them.
Maybe for some reason, it is not convenient for him to do it himself?
Hansen was completely confused. He was Chu Chengan's good classmate and should have helped Chu Chengan at this time.
But……
But he also felt that what Prince Joseph said made sense. They were asked to flee and fight against an army of hundreds of thousands at the same time? They had read too many cool male-oriented stories, right? How could this be possible?
What should they do now that they are in a stalemate? Will they really fight?
After a while, Princess Aurora was more reasonable than the other three. She said softly, "Don't arrest me... I will go home by myself."
"Are you okay going back? If you find it difficult, I'll help you beat Prince Joseph's head into a pig's head."
"You are the idiot, aren't you?" Joseph finally couldn't help himself one day, "Princess Aurora has agreed to go back, why do you have to go against the plot?"
Oh, we had a lot of fun, didn't we? Joseph is the player.
Why do they all want to pass the level according to the plot? Yan Qing, who previously claimed that he had passed the seven levels, said that in order to pass the level perfectly, one must follow the original plot of the fairy tale, and now Joseph has brought it up again.
He himself has gone through the three levels and is no longer a newbie, so why is there still so many things he doesn't know? I'll ask Rabbit next time when I have the chance.
Philip said that his mission was different from Joseph's. He did not say that their missions conflicted, only that they were different...
Hansen was afraid that the two men would start fighting, so he grabbed Philip's arm to stop him from moving.
Finally, after Hansen, who took a middle position, explained the interests to them, Philip finally compromised.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are no joke.
And they also have to keep the competition going, otherwise they won't be able to complete the task required by the system.
The King and Queen of Fanfan Kingdom are Princess Ailuo's biological parents, so they shouldn't do anything to her, right?
…
Although the four of them did not have a very pleasant chat, after Princess Aurora returned to the tree hole to sort out her things, they returned to the arena to continue participating in the competition.
Chu Chengan clenched his fists. It was all his fault that he was too powerless to protect his teammates from being bullied. One day in the future...
He wants to be the male protagonist in some way. (Wrong, crossed out here)
He wanted to win the championship of the competition as soon as possible and "marry" Lu Zhenqiu, oh no, Princess Aurora, to protect him.
This way, his mission can be completed. He guessed that the next mission would be to destroy the sewing machine, defeat the black witch, etc. Although the routine is complicated, if you proceed step by step, you will succeed one day!
The other two people in his group now have a similar goal to him, which is to pass the arena and get rid of this plot as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that after these people went back, Lu Zhenqiu would not just sit there and wait for death. He packed up his things and escaped to another place.
Go back? He didn't want to be arranged to marry a weird person. Before he left, he heard his father say that the competition included a test of intelligence...
Did Chu Chengan also sign up for the exam? Then he would definitely fail. What could he expect from a sports student?
…
The princess in men's clothing didn't bring much with her. She didn't even bring any heavy water. She only brought a few containers that were easy to carry on her back, a bow and arrows, and a dagger for self-defense.
He thought he was going fast, but pedestrians on the road were attracted by the noise of the arena. If he went a little faster, he would be able to...
But when he was about to escape from the forest and flee to the neighboring town, he was caught by the cunning Duke's men.
There are two dukes in Fanfan Kingdom.
The duke who captured Princess Aurora is equivalent to the left prime minister in the ancient Chinese imperial palace. Of course, where there is left, there is right.
Let’s talk about this Left Prime Minister first?
The left prime minister was the man who adopted a son named John who looked like a giant.
He also secretly cultivated a lot of his own scouts and forces. He obviously already possessed countless glory, wealth and power, but he still wanted to climb up. First, no one would complain about his wealth. Second, he was in a high position and was always being watched by the right prime minister. It was also very difficult for him. He was sailing against the current and if he did not advance, he would retreat. He had to be strong enough to be second to none and get rid of the right prime minister who always disagreed with him.
