Chapter 146 The Church Moves In
Fantasy Paradise - City of Pranks.
In the majestic and solemn palace, King Little Thorn stood high on the lamp stand, looking down at the porcelain doll below.
King Little Thorn: "Are you a Psychic Doll? I have never heard of this race!"
Ah Zhen, the spiritual master, looked up at it, blinked and said nothing.
The Little Thorn King scrutinized him critically. "You're small and unremarkable, you don't look like a fighter. So, how did you get to Fantasyland?"
Ah Zhen: "My strength was exhausted, and I fell asleep in the ancient tomb. Duoduo woke me up, and then Chi Xiaozhen used the Fantasy Haunted House to suck me in, and that's how I ended up here."
Duoduo? Chi Xiaozhen?
It turns out that it didn't come here on its own like the ground dragon and the puff bird.
King Little Thorn's ears twitched, his arrogant demeanor subsiding slightly. He continued, "What did you do? Why did you exhaust your strength?"
Ah Zhen was quite gentle in front of the Little Thorn King and answered truthfully, "I used my innate abilities to make some humans obey my orders, carving the history of the Thorns Empire onto stone tablets and spreading it, thus exhausting my strength."
Thornes History? Slate?
So that's how the dwarfs got those stone slabs.
King Little Thorn's expression softened a little. "Yes, since we both once worked for the Thorns Empire, I will allow you to stay in the City of Mischief."
The porcelain doll put its hands in its sleeves and nodded. "Then where should I live? The director said I can live next door to you."
The director? The little Thorn King floated down from the lamp stand. "Have you spoken to the director?"
Ah Zhen: “Yes.”
The little Thorn King floated over to the coffee table and stood still, his eyes only slightly higher than the porcelain doll. "Then you can live in the room at the end of the corridor!"
Ah Zhen nodded and was about to leave when the Little Thorn King suddenly spoke up again, "Wait a minute, I have a question for you. With your tiny legs and arms, and since you can't fly, how did you get into the City of Mischief?"
Ah Zhen: "The headmaster sent me here."
The Little Thorn King was surprised. "The director personally delivered it?"
Ah Zhen: “Yes.”
The Little Thorn King put away his envious look and said, "Well, you can live in the room in the middle of the corridor."
Ah Zhen nodded, but before he could leave, the Little Thorn King said, "Wait a moment, describe to me in detail how the director personally delivered you. Did he use magic to send you here?"
Ah Zhen shook his head: "No."
King Little Thorn thought to himself, I knew that the director would not value this fragile porcelain doll very much.
Ah Zhen: "The headmaster carried me here in his arms."
King Little Thorn: ...
It instantly flew in front of Ah Zhen, its eyes seemed to have become even redder, and it gritted its teeth and said, "Oh, I never knew you were so capable! In that case, you can live next door to this palace."
Ah Zhen: "Oh, okay."
The above is what happened on the first day that Zhen moved into the City of Pranks.
It has been the tenth day since Zhen moved into the City of Pranks.
King Little Thorn found that since Ah Zhen moved in, the director had never come to the City of Pranks again, let alone summoned Ah Zhen. His eyes were finally not so red, and he was willing to chat with Ah Zhen. When he learned that Ah Zhen had once recognized His Highness Ah Zhenlan as his master and that his name even came from this, King Little Thorn decided to treat Ah Zhen as a friend.
Upon learning that Ah Zhen's people had also been summoned to work for the paradise, the Little Thorn King looked around several times and finally couldn't help asking, "Where are your people? Why can't I see any of them?"
Ah Zhen had no choice but to explain to it the characteristics of the mind dolls. It turned out that they usually sleep in the ocean of human dreams. Only when they are summoned by humans and absorb enough emotions and thoughts from humans can they be truly born into the human world. Before that, they are just eggs floating in the ocean of dreams.
This was the first time King Little Thorn had heard of such a strange race. He shook his head and said, "Then you are truly lonely! In that case, I, the king, will reluctantly acknowledge you as my friend."
Ah Zhen didn't say anything or laugh, just looked at it.
The Little Thorn King didn't care about it at all. In its eyes, it was the great Little Thorn King. It had done nothing wrong and had done nothing bad. Ah Zhen didn't say anything because he must be feeling overwhelmed by its favor.
As a friend, King Little Thorn felt obliged to fulfill his duty, so he solemnly warned, "Then you must warn your people not to easily recognize the humans here as their masters."
Ah Zhen immediately grasped the key point, "Here?"
The Little Thorn King nodded seriously, "Because the humans here are very perverted, very perverted!"
Just as the Little Thorn King was about to explain to Ah Zhen how perverted the humans here were, two red-eyed elves suddenly flew over, holding a cell phone. "Your Majesty, the headmaster has sent a message."
The Little Thorn King immediately flew over the phone and read it.
Looking at the message, its face was first shocked, then angry, then serious, and finally it grinned, revealing its sharp fangs.
"My subordinates!" King Little Thorn raised his cloak and flew onto the tall lamp stand. He waved the scepter in his hand, and all the red-eyed elves and purple-eyed Thorns who had contracted with humans in the City of Mischief flew in front of him at a rapid speed.
After the army was assembled, the Little Thorn King announced the news he had learned from the director of the park, "My men, tomorrow! The Church of Four Seasons will be moving into the park."
As soon as the words fell, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the palace.
King Little Thorn waved his hand, halting his subordinates' discussion. He continued, "However, this doesn't mean the Paradise has compromised with the Church of the Evil God. On the contrary, the Church of Four Seasons paid a huge rental fee before being allowed to preach in the Paradise. What does this mean?"
"It means that within this paradise, as official employees, we are above the Four Seasons Church!"
King Little Thorn's words completely galvanized the Red-Eyed Elves. For millennia, the Church of the Evil God had expanded relentlessly, while the Red-Eyed Elves, their history obliterated, had been forced to hide for generations, their living space shrinking step by step. Caging in the desolate, bird-free thorn jungle, these oppressive days filled them with rage. While the thorn jungle was a suitable environment for their growth, who would want to be confined at home from birth to death?
Now, all the red-eyed elves became excited when they thought that they could surpass the Church of Four Seasons.
"My subjects, the hatred of this generation must not be forgotten. Since the director didn't tell us in his message to respect or stay away from the Church of Four Seasons, nor did he say that the Church of Four Seasons is protected by Paradise, then this means that we can do whatever we want to the Church of Four Seasons!"
"Subjects, activate your talents and teach the Church of Four Seasons an unforgettable lesson!"
The red-eyed elves collectively raised their thorn forks and made a fierce "ho ho ho" sound in response!

November 12th, today is Saturday and there is no school, but Bai Jiuyue still got up early because she didn’t want to stay at home.
After the Beginning of Winter, the weather grew colder by the day, especially around six or seven in the morning. To save three yuan on bus fare, Bai Jiuyue ran all the way to the public library, intending to study there until the evening before returning home. Many new businesses had recently opened nearby, and she could grab lunch and dinner at the nearby establishments. She planned to do the same thing tomorrow, so she wouldn't have to stay home and be ordered around by them to do chores.
When Bai Jiuyue was studying until nine o'clock, she received a call from the landline.
"Hello, is this Bai Jiuyue? We've detected that you have a gift worth 500 yuan that has not been claimed. Please..."
Bai Jiuyue hung up the phone.
In fact, when her phone started vibrating, she was still a little expectant, thinking that it might be Zhang Minmin or other classmates calling her. They used to come to the library to study together, but since the opening of Fantasy Park, she rarely saw these classmates on weekends. When she asked, they were either in the park or on the way to the park.
Bai Jiuyue was originally an introvert, and without common activities and topics to talk about, she became even more distant from these classmates.
She unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of water, thinking that it didn't matter, as long as she studied hard, one day she would live a better life than now.
However, less than an hour later, her phone vibrated again, this time it was a brief vibration and then stopped, indicating that a text message had come in.
She opened the message and glanced at it.
[Ms. Bai Jiuyue, you participated in our theme park's online live lottery last month. It shows that you won a theme park annual pass worth 500 yuan. Please come to the theme park ticket window to claim it between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM, any time. If you have any questions, please call the theme park customer service number...]
Bai Jiuyue was stunned. After connecting to the previous call, she realized something belatedly and quickly opened her phone to search for the official customer service number of Fantasy Park.
"The number matches, it's definitely not a scam call!" she muttered to herself.
But she didn't participate in the park's online live broadcast activities at all. She just glanced at her brother when he used her number to register. Is this okay?
Forget it, I’ll go get the annual pass first. I can’t let my younger brother take advantage of this anyway.
Bai Jiuyue put the phone back in his pocket and went to the park immediately.
The Fantasy Park is very famous locally and is known to everyone, young and old. Bai Jiuyue is of course aware of it, but she has never been there. However, influenced by her classmates, she still made a reservation on the park app.
Although it was the weekend, it wasn't a consecutive holiday, so there weren't many out-of-town tourists. Bai Jiuyue successfully made her reservation. After her identity was verified at the ticket window at the park's entrance, she told the staff, "No physical card required, just give me a QR code."
The staff repeatedly confirmed, "The front of the physical card features the park's popular characters, the Dwarf and the King of Thorns. The back features a Dryad, a Ground Dragon, and a Puff Bird. It's very beautiful and a great souvenir. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Bai Jiuyue nodded. If they found out after taking the card, there would be trouble. Forget it, it wouldn't affect their trip anyway.
The staff then enabled her permissions in the park app, and from now on she could simply click on the QR code in the app and scan it to enter the park.
Bai Jiuyue didn’t have the money to buy an annual pass before, and she was reluctant to spend fifty yuan on a ticket. This was her first time visiting the park, and she couldn’t help but look forward to it.
It was very lively at the gate, with tourists passing by her in groups of three or four.
"I heard the park is building a new project, and there will be a magic show there."
"Really? I didn't see the park announcement!"
"It looks like some kind of church. They're dressed pretty decently, so they should be NPCs. Anyway, let's go take a look."
