Chapter 53: There is always strange knowledge in my mind
Chapter 53: There is always strange knowledge in my mind
Philip, the innocent baby with a pure heart, swaggered in.
The poster girl was delighted when she saw the blond, blue-eyed and adorable little Prince Philip. Of course, the residents of the Bay of Billund pay more attention to the tourism industry and are not very interested in current news happening in various countries. The hotel operators certainly don't know that the person in front of them is the second prince of the neighboring big country, the Kingdom of Kikito.
I just thought they were some kids who came for sightseeing. After all, those who came to participate in the election of the prince consort would go to the hotel in the east.
"Would you like to stay at the hotel, kid?"
Philip looked up at the girl's appearance. She was dressed maturely and beautifully. She should be a few years older than him. She called him "little boy" affectionately. Maybe it was a special custom of Aibilun Bay?
"I'm a contestant. The people there should have booked a room for us a long time ago, right? I'm not picky about the room. I just want a quiet one, preferably one that's alone. By the way, if you have tourists who lose items on the beach, where should you go to report it to the police?"
"Call the police?" The poster girl's eyes widened.
"It's just looking for someone to catch a thief." Philip scratched his head. He didn't know what word people in the Middle Ages used to use?
He added, "If it's inconvenient, I'll grab it myself tomorrow morning. Now can you give me the room key?"
The poster girl took out a key to the top floor of the seventh floor.
"Look, your room is on the seventh floor, at the back. Our hotel has a rule that you must turn off the lights at night and not go out. It's already very late now. If you have anything to say, you can come to me tomorrow morning."
Philip took the key and left.
He didn't suspect anything. The whole hotel seemed to be silent. Was it because of the rules to turn off the lights and not go out?
After Philip went upstairs and walked away, the poster girl laughed. What an innocent child! How could he be a contestant? I heard there were 1,984 contestants in total. With so many people, they wouldn't care if one of them got lost, right?
Moreover, with such good looks, why would one become a princess or a prince consort? Wouldn't it be more valuable to be a plaything of rich businessmen and rich women? It wouldn't be a waste of the careful carving that God put into creating human beings.
Philip checked in obediently. Maybe it was because the walls were well soundproofed or everyone was really asleep, but everything was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
He actually cared about where Hansen would live. He had seen the notice, right? Was he surprised to find out that he was also selected?
And is Joseph here too? He wants to ask him about his Black Hood, and whether his next mission will conflict with his...
Philip lay in bed, turning off the lights, and staring at the dark ceiling.
This is the top floor, and it should be a very nice hotel room with a sea view, but why are the curtains painted a deep red color? (Philip could see the moonlight shining through the gaps in the wooden window, but the gaps were too small and barely noticeable.)
The only rule was that the light could not be turned on. Philip fumbled to get up from the bed. He went to the window, wanting to take a glimpse of the beautiful view outside. After all, he had to enjoy the benefits of a sea view room.
But when he opened the curtains, he found that the only window could not be opened at all. The few small holes even looked like they were specially prepared for prisoners in the dungeon, for fear that the people inside would suffocate to death due to lack of air.
The whole window, or rather it couldn't be called a window at all, was just a piece of nailed-down wood. It was difficult to even see what was happening outside.
At this moment there were footsteps at the door, which made Philip very alert. If he had not noticed the situation at the window, he would still be kept in the dark.
Philip quickly hid under the bed.
The door was opened, and two seconds later, the oil lamp in the room was lit.
Look at the shoes on these people's feet.
There was a woman who came, probably the poster girl, and four men. One of them had shoes made of tiger skin. Tigers are quite rare in both Fanfan Kingdom and Qiqiite Kingdom. It can be seen that this man is at least half a nouveau riche, right?
A man's voice: "What's going on? Where are the people?"
The poster girl said: "Oh, he did come up earlier, there's no way he's not in the room. Did he notice something strange?"
"How stupid! You guys, search this room for me first!"
Philip sorted out the relationship between these people.
This man is the poster girl's superior. Even if he is not the mastermind behind the incident, he at least has certain power in the hotel. The other three men are his bodyguards.
Philip would not sit there and wait to be searched out. The oil lamp only illuminated a part of the room. He took advantage of the moment when the bodyguards left the man's side, slowly crawled out from under the bed, and circled behind the man. He put his arms forward and controlled the man's neck.
"You! What do you want to do?!"
"Don't move. I'm from next door. I'm the recent winner of the martial arts competition. If I use a little force, your head and neck will be separated."
"Stop... stop, stop, stop, Marin, please say something for me!"
"Marin..." Philip looked up at the woman in front of him. A black witch? If he killed her now, would they be able to pass through this fairy tale world in advance?
No, he had already seen the black witch once in the forest. The two had completely different auras. This Marin should be just a fake, a trick set up by the system to make it more difficult for players to pass the level.
Philip no longer paid attention to Marlene and continued to cling to the rich man: "Tell me! What on earth do you do?"
"Stop, stop strangling me, I'm going to... I'm going to die, cough cough cough..."
Philip saw that he was really about to collapse, and he was not pretending. He finally loosened his grip a little and stopped squeezing so tightly.
The bodyguards were afraid that their boss would really die and they wouldn't be able to find anyone to pay their wages, so they stood back and didn't dare to move.
Their boss definitely doesn't want them to act rashly now, right?
Philip urged: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Speak, speak, I'll tell you right away... I'm the owner of this hotel." The owner went on to say, "Abilen Bay has many tourists, most of whom come to enjoy the sea view and the girls in short skirts. But in recent years, the tourists who come here to play are not only wealthy old men, but also wealthy ladies. In order to meet the needs of different guests, we have here, in addition to beautiful girls..."
The boss glanced at his sign girl and said, "We still need pretty and well-behaved boys, so I asked Marlene to look for them for me. But we couldn't find any after searching for a long time, so we started to think of robbing them. The law and order here is not very good, so we thought of forcing them into prostitution."
"Fuck!" Philip couldn't help but curse. "You actually do such dirty things! I've really learned a lot! In order to prevent more innocent boys and girls from being killed, I'm going to catch you! Don't even think about running away! Aibilun doesn't care here, right? I'll escort you to the town next door and see if the people in the castle will care!"
…
Thus, Philip began his long journey of rhyming.
He first found the left prime minister in the town where he had been before, but the prime minister thought the little prince Philip was troublesome and refused to meet him at all.
Philip had no choice but to go to the right prime minister again.
After a speech, the Right Prime Minister felt that little Philip was a promising person with a good chance of becoming the princess's consort, and asked him to take care of his fool son.
Philip: “???” Doesn’t the right prime minister know that only one consort can be chosen? He and his son are competitors.
Seeing that Philip was confused, the right prime minister said kindly: "I'm not asking you to give him the victory, but I hope you can take him to see as much of the world as possible and survive longer in the competition."
So that's how it is, that seems feasible.
After a night's rest, the Right Prime Minister urged him to leave the next day: "The battle of wits will officially begin in a few days, right? I'll ask someone to find you a fast carriage and a driver, so go quickly."
Philip declined, saying, "Don't bother. I have already found a driver and a good carriage."
After saying goodbye, Philip immediately started his journey.
In fact, he had not yet decided on a driver, but he was afraid that the Right Prime Minister would cheat him, so he was on guard. After catching this group of gang members, he also found a lot of gold and silver in their hotel, which he used temporarily.
He had to hurry back to participate in the competition, and he hurried, finally arriving at the designated location two days before the competition.
After completing the registration, Philip began to search for familiar people in the hotel.
Somehow, he thought that the first place to search was at the top of the building...
Philip was not surprised to see a familiar man's back in the hotel's rooftop open-air viewing area.
How to say it, this figure is too slender. He is not sure whether the system NPC will be fooled. Anyway, as a 21st century person who has watched countless movie and TV dramas, Chu Chengan believes that the person in front of him is Princess Aurora disguised as a man.
Although Lu Zhenqiu is also a man in the real world, I don't know if it is appropriate to use the term "woman disguised as a man".
Philip quietly took him aside and scolded him in a low voice: "Why are you out again? Are you trying to kill yourself by coming here so brazenly?"
Princess Aurora also has a bit of a temper, which is pretty much the same as Lu Zhenqiu in real life. She is just acting her true self.
Princess Aurora said, "Do you want me to sit and wait for death? It's too depressing in the castle. Can't I come out for some fresh air? Are the other two members of your team still there? Just don't let them see me. I will only come to you in the future."
"They... I lost them. I will definitely not team up with Joseph again, but Hansen... you know he is the king, my best friend in real life, I can't abandon him."
Princess Aurora was obviously unhappy after hearing this: "It's up to you, as long as he doesn't come to expose me."
"He won't." Chu Cheng'an was thinking about when to call the king over in the real world so that they could get to know each other. Lu Zhenqiu wouldn't feel at a disadvantage by associating with an honest man like Wang Anyuan.
