Chapter 39 The Lost Ancient Country (6)
When he saw Arcana, Guan Ciying suffered a cardiac arrest.
She blurted out subconsciously: "I'm going to die..."
Akana seemed to have heard her movements, and his extremely inhuman eyes suddenly fell on Guan Ciying.
In an instant, Guan Ciying felt as if he was completely soaked by water.
It's cold to the bone.
An extremely strong sense of fear gripped her throat, making it impossible for Guan Ciying to make any sound.
"His Majesty."
Gu Qiufeng on the side spoke.
Arcana then lightly turned his gaze away and looked at him: "Hmm?"
Guan Ciying breathed a sigh of relief and silently took a few steps back, trying to stay away from the pressure brought by Arcana.
With just this movement, she caught a glimpse of Gu Qiufeng beside her, whose neck was also covered in cold sweat, but because he was wearing a mask, no one could tell that he was nervous.
What's going on?
The Holy Son should be the Queen's confidant, so why is Gu Qiufeng sweating?
Before Guan Ciying could think clearly, Akana took a few more steps towards them.
She immediately stepped back a little reflexively, and heard Arcana speak again with a hint of laughter: "Son, your friends seem to be afraid of me?"
Guan Ciying immediately felt like crying but had no tears.
She doesn't want to be noticed by this world boss!
Guan Ciying looked at Gu Qiufeng for help, hoping that this Lord Saint would have mercy on her and help her divert her attention.
Gu Qiufeng noticed Guan Ciying's gaze.
But to be honest, he was also quite unsure.
Arcana's expression didn't seem like he was here to settle a score with him.
But it was clear that this BOSS was chopping him with a sickle last night.
Are you acting?
Gu Qiufeng considered it for a moment and adopted the most conservative question: "Your Majesty, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Ah." Arcana said, "When I went to find you today to give you some instructions, I found that you were not there, so I went out of the palace to see if I could run into you."
Gu Qiufeng: “.”
This statement is really weird and perfunctory.
However, Gu Qiufeng was still very happy that Akana was willing to maintain the superficial calm with him during the day.
He bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to come out early to investigate today. If we can capture those vampires, Your Majesty will be relieved sooner."
Arcana smiled and said, "Thank you, Holy Son."
Then she asked, "Did you ask a friend to investigate with you?"
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Guan Ciying: "..."
Why are you still asking about this?
Guan Ciying knew that she couldn't fool him, and it was not good to let Gu Qiufeng take the blame for her, so she had to bite the bullet and take the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, good afternoon. I am... um, the civilian detective commissioned by the Holy Son."
"Okay, it's good to have a friend like you to help the Holy Son investigate. You should be careful." Akana said, "I left the palace this time to see what's going on among the people. The Holy Son can investigate on his own and don't worry about me."
Gu Qiufeng then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wish your majesty a happy time."
Arcana nodded: "If you like, you can bring your friends to the palace to play together in the future."
Guan Ciying: “.”
Guan Ciying felt something magical when hearing this.
Huh?! Is the World Boss so easy to talk to?
Why does Arcana's attitude towards the Son of God feel like a mother telling her son in kindergarten that he can bring other children home to play together?
If Arcana wasn't so young, she would have doubted whether the Son of God was Arcana's son.
While Guan Ciying was still confused, Akana had already refused Gu Qiufeng's farewell and left on his own.
After Akana was completely out of sight, Gu Qiufeng raised his hand towards Guan Ciying: "Miss Guan, please help me up."
Guan Ciying: “?”
Guan Ciying: "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Qiufeng: "...my legs are a little weak."
"What is your relationship with Arcana? ...Ah, I mean His Majesty," Guan Ciying said, "It seems that she treats you very well."
Gu Qiufeng shook his head: "I can't be sure."
"No... Wait, do you really suspect that Arcana is from the vampire camp?" Guan Ciying said in shock, "Wow, Saint Son, would you, a confidant of yours, suspect His Majesty?"
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Gu Qiufeng had no way of telling Guan Ciying about what happened to him in the first half of the night. He could only wave his hand and said, "Take me to bed quickly. I can't hold on any longer."

When he woke up, Li Shuntong took out a set of more casual clothes for Gu Qiufeng to wear.
By the way, he also prepared a hooded cloak for Gu Qiufeng to cover the conspicuous silver mask on Gu Qiufeng's face.
"The circus opens at two or three in the afternoon, right?" Guan Ciying asked, "You should buy tickets in advance and wait in line. Let's go early."
Although the unconscious survivors were rescued, for some reason, their mental state was very abnormal. They could not speak and could only make sounds like untamed wild beasts.
They couldn't get anything out of them by interrogating them, but letting them go would be too conspicuous. Fortunately, Li Shuntong's family had a wine cellar, so they stuffed the dozen or so survivors in there.
After Gu Qiufeng finished eating the bread to fill his stomach, he pressed the mask on his face and said, "Let's go."
Today's weather is surprisingly gloomy, with dark clouds pressing down on people's heads, revealing a sense of uneasiness.
Probably for fear of rain, there were not many pedestrians and vendors at the market, and Gu Qiufeng spotted the clown performing a comedy at the door at a glance.
He walked over calmly and asked the clown for four tickets.
The clown smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please just enjoy it. Our performance is definitely worth the price of the ticket."
Gu Qiufeng said calmly: "I am looking forward to it."
Looking forward to the monsters hiding in this performance.
"By the way, sir, didn't you say in the morning that you wanted to meet with our leader?" The clown said, "The leader will be back today, I will convey your message. If time permits, maybe you can meet today."
Gu Qiufeng said calmly: "It's troublesome."
But in fact, his body is a little overdrawn now, and he really can't deal with a circus director who sounds very difficult.
Don't show fear in front of a clown.
Gu Qiufeng ended the topic, took the tickets and led the group of four in along with another employee at the door.
The employee was also dressed strangely, like a magician wearing an eye patch.
The four of them raised their flags and were on high alert, following the magician in silence.
Passing through a narrow corridor with dizzying patterns on the walls, a beam of light opened up the view. Gu Qiufeng looked into the distance and saw a performance hall that was larger than he had imagined.
Occasionally, there were thick wooden pillars supporting the extremely high ceiling, with scattered ribbons and some decorative branches hanging on it. Looking at it in the dim light inside, some of them looked like arms with bared fangs and claws.
There were some dim lamps with vines wrapped around glass hanging in the room. To the east was a large stage with several lampshades shining on the top of the stage.
Below the stage were stacked layers of red velvet chairs, gradually rising higher like a mountain formed by a sea of blood.
Gu Qiufeng thought they had arrived early enough, but after a closer look, he found that the place was basically full.
He raised an eyebrow.
The Starlight Circus is not as cold and desolate as the clown described.
Some of the people sitting inside were native residents, and some were players - it was easy to tell the difference, because the residents of the capital all looked excited as if they were waiting to see a show, while the players all had expressions of fear as if they were facing a great enemy.
There are also some special species. Gu Qiufeng can see the weirdness of these people at a glance.
It can be said that he took advantage of the characteristics of the Son of God's identity card. No dark creature could escape his eyes.
The number of dark creatures here has reached a terrifying level.
Gu Qiufeng was shocked to find that the number of normal people, including players, and the number of dark creatures present were actually about 50-50.
He quickly said to Guan Ciying: "Don't act rashly."
This can be regarded as a blow to the dark tribe's base camp.
Guan Ciying curled her lips: "Why are you so worried about me?"
Li Shuntong: "...every time you act like you have no brains."
Lin Chaoxu: "If I don't tell you, who else should I tell?"
Guan Ciying: "Get lost!"
She said angrily: "Okay, okay, I won't move at all!"
The magician ignored the interaction between the group of people. He led the four people to the third row with a smile on his face: "VIP seats, here."
The third and fourth rows are excellent viewing positions. They are not too close to require looking up, nor too far to see clearly.
After sitting in the VIP seats, everyone fell silent.
They are all observing the people around them to identify players and NPCs.
Not long after Gu Qiufeng sat down, the lights on the stage began to change.
Along with noisy cheers, a piece of festive and lively music was played.
Some circuses have a warm-up segment before the actual performance, which basically involves small animals walking on tightropes or jumping through fire rings.
Smoke suddenly filled the stage, and a figure in red appeared vaguely in the smoke.
Are you a staff member?
The poem with a tune was recited aloud by the man in red on the stage, with ups and downs following the music.
Only then did Gu Qiufeng feel relieved.
It turned out to be a bard.
It doesn't look like anything can be done right now.
But before his mind could completely relax, a figure leaning against the wall appeared at the narrow corridor entrance in his peripheral vision.
The figure had good proportions. Because there was basically no light at the entrance of the corridor, Gu Qiufeng couldn't see the other person's face clearly. Only the long golden hair was very dazzling.
What caught Gu Qiufeng's attention more than the other party's body proportions was the sudden strong and cold aura unique to dark creatures.
Gu Qiufeng straightened his body instantly.
He suddenly had a premonition.
This creature with a strong dark aura was looking at him.
The clown popped his head out of nowhere: "Sir!"
Gu Qiufeng was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly, but he couldn't show his fear. He looked at the clown: "What are you doing?"
The clown pointed at the long-haired girl behind him with a smile: "Our leader said that the opening ceremony will be in a while, and he wants to see you now."
