Gladys and Laura were cordially invited into the castle by the Lord of Darkness.
The Dark Lord's castle is covered with gorgeous decorations, shining brightly and magnificently.
The corners of the ground, the side walls of the corridors, and any concave places are filled with gold coins and pearls. It seems that the owner of the castle has a habit of hoarding gold coins.
In the shadow corner, black branches and leaves rustled, exploring...Lora seemed to be lost in thought.
The skeleton attendant led Laura and Gladys out of the guest room.
"My lord said that you can rest in this room for the time being. After the wedding ceremony is over in a few days, you can move in with my lord." The skeleton attendant pointed to the room on the left and said to Laura.
The skeleton attendant then pointed to the room on the right and said to Gladys, "My Lord, you will rest in this room for the time being. After the wedding ceremony is over in a few days, you can live in the holy land on your own."
After delivering the message, the skeleton servant left.
"My servant, you did a good job." Gladys looked at Laura.
Gladys was puzzled. "But...why haven't you taken the robe off your face yet? Can you see the road clearly?"
"Because Her Majesty the Witch didn't let me take it down." Laura said.
Gladys thought to herself, Oh my God, the little princess is so docile. Such a kind and obedient little princess is simply a treasure of the world.
She decided that she would never let the Lord of Darkness harm the little princess.
Gladys said coldly, "Oh? If I don't let you take it, can't you take it yourself? I have to tell you everything in person."
Gladys saw Laura pause, as if thinking about her words.
Then, Laura pulled off the robe covering her face, revealing her delicate features. She asked calmly, "What do you want to do next, Your Excellency the Witch?"
Gladys saw that Laura had no expression on her face, and her golden eyes were like a lake, quietly reflecting her face.
The little princess's expression...
Something is wrong.
Gladys made rapid calculations in her mind. First of all, Gladys felt that the little princess's expression was definitely not due to the evil witch's cold attitude towards her... The docile little princess should have long been accustomed to her evil witch's indifference.
Gladys thought about it and felt that Laura must be unwilling to become the Dark Lord's concubine now, and she felt uneasy about the prospect.
After all, the little princess only reluctantly cooperated under the threats of her evil witch.
The Lord of Darkness is tall and has dragon claws on his hands... If Princess Laura is really with the Lord of Darkness, the fragile little princess will be hurt if she is not careful.
The little princess has thousands of fish, and the Dark Lord's fish is just a tool.
Gladys also didn't want the beautiful little princess to be hurt by that bad man.
Gladys said, "Lola, remember, I only ordered you to act in front of the Dark Lord to deceive him. You are my slave and can only work for me. I will not allow you to be married to the Dark Lord."
Hearing this, Laura curled her lips slightly, "Is that so? Then, Your Excellency the Witch, how long do you want to stay here?"
Is there any other choice? Doesn't it depend on when they get the permission to leave the Holy Land?
"My slave, it depends on your performance." Gladys shrugged.
"Since you can't really become the Dark Lord's concubine, it's best for us to get permission to leave the Holy Land before the Dark Lord marries a concubine."
Gladys frowned and began a battle of wits and rigorous analysis.
"Besides, you're a man now and haven't turned back into a woman yet. If the Lord of Darkness finds out you're just a man in disguise, there's no guarantee he'll be furious... Anyway, the sooner the better."
"How fast do you want, Your Excellency the Witch? One day... two days? Or three days? I'm fine with any of that," Laura said calmly. "The Lord of Darkness is nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing this, Gladys's expression changed. She said sourly, "You are so confident about your beauty."
Laura stared at Gladys innocently.
Gladys's face turned red when Laura looked at her.
Gladys swallowed, realizing how close Laura was now...
Gladys suddenly jumped back and began to speak fiercely, "If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you getting so close to me? Do you have my permission?"
"Okay, then next time I will get permission from Her Majesty the Witch." Laura smiled at Gladys.
Laura was wearing a scarlet dress, and her long black hair made her skin look extremely white. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes curled up, her long eyelashes curled, and her golden pupils were filled with a faint light.
Gladys was stunned. She felt a thrilling allure from Laura, which was different from the pure little princess...with a bit of temptation.
But......
Gladys subconsciously covered her face with the back of her hand.
Little Princess Lola is now a cross-dresser!
How could she blush at the sight of a male version of the little princess in women's clothing?!
Gladys quickly pushed Laura. The door on the right was open, so she pushed him into the room on the right, pushing him in with extra force.
Laura looked at the door of the room, glanced at her silently, and did not resist.
Gladys said in a vicious tone: "Oh! Weak little princess, I am afraid you are scared today."
Laura: “No…”
Gladys: "I said yes, and that's it! Don't talk back!"
"You're so frightened, you're useless... Go inside and rest."
"I order you to stay alert and prepare for the next move. After all, we're going to pull off a big feat and trick the Lord of Darkness into leaving. You can't hold us back."
Gladys slammed the door shut.
Gladys touched her red face and was about to walk into the next room when a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, host, ding ding ding ding, calling host, can you hear me?"
"System?" Gladys replied in surprise at the familiar mechanical voice, "How did you get into the Holy Land?"
[Holy Land? So the strange place you are in is called the Holy Land...]
[Host, I am not actually with you now. I am still in the tower.]
[I just finished upgrading, and it has many new features, one of which is the ability to contact you remotely.]
[But there is a time limit...]
Gladys: "It's okay. You sound much better than before anyway."
[It also requires Witch Crystals. The first three trials are free, and each subsequent use will cost 100 Witch Crystals.]
Gladys: “…”
Sure enough, the forced krypton system remains true to its nature.
[Ding Ding~ Host, a woman is walking towards you at six o'clock. She seems to be targeting you.]
Gladys turned her head subconsciously.
The scent of the woman's sweet perfume reached Gladys' nose, and she almost sneezed.
"Little witch, wait a moment before you rest. I have something to tell you." The person who came was a woman with a good figure. She was wearing a high-waisted skirt with a very thin waist. The skirt was gorgeous, fluffy, and layered.
The woman grabbed Gladys's hand, holding a small feather fan, and looked very charming. Because the perfume on the woman was too strong, Gladys rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes. As if she was briefly bewildered, she was unknowingly led by the woman to the balcony of the corridor.
Gladys frowned imperceptibly.
The woman smiled and waved her feather fan. "Little witch, why aren't you talking? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
Afraid? Impossible.
She, the evil witch, is the villain in the original book.
Gladys's expression was impassive.
"Dear little witch, don't be hostile to me. I have no ill intentions. I think you should have met my twin daughters." The woman released kindness.
Twin daughters...
Gladys thought for a moment, then lowered her voice like a code and said, "Bloody Executioner Queen?"
"Yes, very clever." The Bloody Executioner Queen stretched out her hand and immediately wanted to touch Gladys's face. "She's very cute too..."
Gladys ducked.
How could she, an evil witch, allow her face to be touched casually?
[Ding Ding~ Be careful, host, the woman in front of you may be plotting against you.]
[According to the system's detection, a giant magic circle has been drawn on the ground below the balcony you are currently standing on. It is a magic circle that takes effect upon contact. The specific effect is unknown, but it is obvious that it is not a good magic circle. Host, be careful not to fall into it.]
Wow, he’s a fellow villain.
Gladys gracefully clicked her witch's hood.
The Bloody Executioner Queen said softly, "Little Witch, my two daughters told me that you are their friend and asked me to take good care of you."
The Bloody Executioner Queen said as she looked at Gladys. Her eyes darkened as she gazed at her white wings. "Are these the fairy wings my two daughters were talking about? I thought they were joking."
A wicked witch with fairy wings? That's unbelievable.
"These wings are fake wings made to deceive kind people. They are good things produced by me, the evil witch." Gladys smiled.
"But... it's just a decoration. It's very heavy on my back. I can't fly for now. I need to upgrade it."
Hearing this, the Bloody Executioner Queen's eyes lit up and she waved the small feather fan in her hand. "That's great! I like your methods."
"Little witch, I hope you like the gift I gave you."
Gladys raised an eyebrow: "What gift?"
The Bloody Executioner Queen made a "hush" gesture and said, "It's a surprise."
"Little witch, go to the balcony and see what's in the sky."
Hearing this, Gladys looked up at the sky from the balcony. She took a look and saw that it was pitch black. She said, "There's nothing in the sky."
"How could that be? Well, maybe he hasn't been released yet... look at the ground?" The gentle voice of the Bloody Executioner Queen sounded behind Gladys.
Gladys followed the Bloody Executioner Queen's words and narrowed her eyes. "There seems to be a magic circle drawn on the ground..."
Gladys threw an identification at the magic circle.
The results show:
[This formation is called the "Fireworks-Wrapped Flesh and Blood Formation". Anyone who falls on it will explode into fireworks. The Bloody Executioner Queen likes this fireworks formation very much because it is gorgeous and cruel.
It is said that the origin of the magic circle is that the Bloody Executioner Queen killed her husband during a fireworks display at a palace banquet when she was young... She remembered that time very much.
After the Bloody Executioner Queen fell into darkness, she created a "Fireworks-Wrapped Flesh and Blood Magic Circle" to commemorate her deceased husband. She used this magic circle to kill many defenseless people...
"There is a magic circle, do you see it clearly?" The Bloody Executioner Queen whispered softly in Gladys' ear.
Gladys's eyes darkened slightly, and she said, "I haven't seen it clearly yet. Let me take another look..."
"Little witch, do you know what that magic circle is used for?"
"Oh? What's the use? Tell me."
"The flesh and blood of the sacrificed people summons a magnificent fireworks display." The Bloody Executioner Queen said frankly, evoking an inexplicable smile.
"Wow." Gladys drooped her eyelashes thoughtfully and asked, "So your gift is... sacrificing some people to set off fireworks for me?"
The Bloody Executioner Queen continued to smile and said, "As expected of an evil witch, I love your cruel attitude."
"However, little witch, you are only half right."
The Bloody Executioner Queen coaxed her, "Little witch, aren't you excited to see this magic circle? Don't you want to take a closer look? The evil witch must really enjoy studying this kind of thing."
Gladys: "Oh, let me take a look."
Bloody Executioner Queen: "Oh, I forgot to ask you, do you want to see the fireworks display?"
The system raised its voice, even more panicked than Gladys: "Host, she's going to push you!"
The Bloody Executioner Queen suddenly pushed Gladys off the balcony.
"Poor little witch, don't you know that I don't have a good relationship with my two daughters?" The Bloody Executioner Queen elegantly placed the feather fan over her red lips.
"I was planning to marry the Lord of Darkness, but you, a witch, came and gave a beautiful, coquettish bitch to the Lord of Darkness, interrupting my plan... You ruined my plans, so I cannot tolerate your existence." The Bloody Executioner Queen made a speech.
"After I get rid of you, the witch, I'll get rid of that beautiful, seductive bitch too."
The bloody executioner queen covered her face with a fan and yawned slightly. It was really lonely to be a villain.
Then, she suddenly paused.
Um......?
Why no screams?
Did he fall too fast and didn't have time to scream?
Oh! That must have been a terrible fall.
The Bloody Executioner Queen lay on the balcony with her head down, ready to enjoy the fireworks display that the little witch had transformed into.
Gladys suddenly flew up with her white wings fluttering and kicked the Bloody Executioner Queen down.
The fireworks suddenly bloomed, exploding into a beautiful halo in the air.
Gladys crossed her arms, "You can believe what I, the evil witch, say?"
Originally, Gladys didn't want to kick the Bloody Executioner Queen down.
But...Gladys heard the Bloody Executioner Queen say she was going to deal with Laura.
That won’t work. Princess Laura is so weak, she is definitely no match for the bloody executioner queen.
Only the evil witch can bully little Princess Laura.
This is the dignity of the villainous evil witch.
A few minutes later, in the castle palace's study, an attendant came to ask the Lord of Darkness, "My lord, the Bloody Executioner Queen is dead. What position should be assigned to her soul?"
The residents of the Holy Land did not truly perish, because they were confined and could not leave the Holy Land for their entire lives.
Even if you die, you will not leave, you will just become a ghost.
Dead ghosts will be assigned to new positions by the Dark Lord.
Normally, when the Lord of Darkness heard the attendant's questions, he would just wave his hand and let the attendant make the decision himself. He only knew how to fight the brave with dragon fire and was not good at handling affairs.
Fortunately, the task assigned to him by that lord was only to guard the holy land, so his actions were harmless.
As for how the person who turned into a ghost died, the current Lord of Darkness would not care.
After all, this is a holy place, where dark creatures gather, fighting and killing are common, and it is not a kindergarten ruled by the God of All Things.
However...the one who died this time was the Bloody Executioner Queen.
"The Bloody Executioner Queen is dead?" The Lord of Darkness was surprised and tapped his dragon's tail.
"That vicious, venomous woman who wouldn't give up seducing me in her vain quest to control the Holy Land, who formed a clique to prevent me from implementing the policies like 'Mysterious Oriental Spicy Hot Pot Production Plan,' 'The Possibility of Raising Succubus Fluffy Fufu,' 'Black Dragon Fan Clay Figurine Making Competition...' is dead?"
"Yes."
"Who did it?" The Lord of Darkness took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That murderer... did a really good job!"
Aide-de-camp: "...Then, sir, where is the ghost of the Bloody Executioner Queen?"
"Let her guard the gate and reunite with her daughters. Let's fight!" The Lord of Darkness waved his hand.
“…”
[After the system upgrade, a new version is ushered in, and the host can get more rewards~]
[The host's act of killing the Bloody Executioner Queen has been judged by the system to be righteous, and has been praised by the God of All Creation. You will receive 50 Elf Light points. Since this is your first time receiving Elf Light, the reward will be doubled, for a total of 100 Elf Light points.]
Gladys said in a strange tone: "Elf Velvet Light?"
[Yes, host, don't doubt yourself. You are indeed the Elf's Light. As long as your actions are worthy of the praise of the God of All Things, you will increase your Elf's Light.]
Gladys: "But I'm an evil witch who believes in evil gods."
The God of All Things is in opposition to the Evil God. Why did the God of All Things reward her, the evil witch? Did he want to poach her and make her convert to the God of All Things?
The system paused and said, "But... according to the new reward mechanism, the host's Elf Velvet Light has indeed arrived. As for why this reward mechanism exists, it was set up by the Lord God and has nothing to do with the system."
"But what use does my evil witch have for this fairy velvet light?" Gladys wondered.
[Elf Velvet Light is born in the gaps between the fragments of glory. It is a gift that floats from the palace of the God of All Things. It has an extremely beneficial effect on all creatures and objects belonging to the God of All Things.]
Gladys raised an eyebrow, "...So?"
[For example, the host can feed the Elf Velvet Light to the Elf Wings on your back, allowing the wings to absorb the Elf Velvet Light, thereby maintaining the wings' radiance, preventing early balding, and promoting the growth of new feathers on the wings.]
[But... coming back to the point, host, how did you suddenly gain a pair of elf wings? It's not shown in the equipment column, it's an unbound special equipment.]
Gladys: "Oh, these fairy wings, I made them with my evil wand."
system:?
It can hear every word the host says, but why is it difficult to understand when they are put together?
The system thought about it and realized that the place where the host was was a domain that the main god could not control. It was normal that there were some phenomena that the system could not intervene in.
[Speaking of wands, host, do you remember that your wand still has some buffs that haven't been unlocked?]
Gladys: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
[The wand's information panel shows that it is loading and unlocking new buffs... It will probably take a while for the new buffs to appear.]
Gladys: "I see. Just remind me when the time comes."
[Okay~]
Gladys looked at the road ahead and suddenly said, "But I have a question now."
System: "What's the problem?"
Gladys's eyelids twitched. "I'm lost," she said.
For some reason, the Bloody Executioner Queen only dragged her along a short straight corridor. When Gladys turned around, she found that the corridor behind her had become complicated.
It's like... the structure of this castle is always changing.
Gladys lowered her eyelashes in thought.
The gold coins piled up on both sides of the corridor sparkled, and there was a "click" sound. Gladys felt a little strange, took a look, and saw that there were just too many gold coins, so they slid down automatically, and then she looked away.
[Host, don't worry~ Don't be afraid if you get lost. The system's mini-map has been upgraded and can update the map details in real time. Even if the castle's structure changes, the system can still guide you to your destination.]
[The map shows... Host, walk forward now. Turn left at the end of the first corridor, then turn right, left again, and right again. When you reach the end, you will be back to the guest room.]
Gladys' eyes lit up, and she followed the system's instructions. After a while, she returned to the door of the guest room.
The two doors have the same decoration, only the direction is different.
Gladys began to wonder whether she should live in the room on the left or the room on the right...
The system heard her thoughts and said considerately, "Host, there is a new function. This function is a feedback from some forgetful taskers."
"This feature is called Recall Conversation. Any conversations you've had with the host will be displayed in text on the Recall Conversation panel~"
Isn't this the story review function in the game?
Gladys: "Wow, do you have any other surprises that I can't imagine?"
Gladys asked the system to call up the dialogue review panel and checked what the skeleton servant said to her.
Then, without hesitation, she walked into the room on the right.
When Gladys opened the door, a wisp of black branches and leaves behind her quietly followed her back, completing the escort obligation. The black branches and leaves curled up under the shadow of the light and gradually merged into the darkness.
The bed in the center of the room was particularly large, and Gladys threw herself onto the soft quilt.
[Host, are you going to sleep?]
Gladys: “Yes.”
Gladys pondered the system's tone and said, "Why do you sound a little nervous? Can't I sleep in the Dark Lord's castle? If I do, will I be turned into a human meat bun?"
System: "Uh, no, I just felt a little terrified for no apparent reason. Perhaps I was trying to remind the host not to forget to check in and pray to the evil god..."
The system was nervous: "Host, you didn't interrupt the clock-in, did you? If you interrupt the clock-in, you will have to start from zero."
Gladys shrugged. "I haven't had time to sleep, what do you think?"
[This remote call is almost over. Host, please quickly check the punch-in library...]
[Reminder: There are currently two remote call trial opportunities left. If the host needs to enable remote call again, just silently pray in your mind, "System, system, please act quickly."]
The system's voice grew fainter. Gladys quickly found a punch-in material and read out with great emotion, "Supreme Evil God, there is no one in the world more majestic and handsome than you..."
"Today, your follower, the evil witch Gladys, still holds the most devout faith in you. In view of my piety, please bless me to quickly take the little princess away from here and return to the tower. I really want to go back and drink sweet and soft mushroom soup."
After Gladys prayed and punched in, the system went offline, as if the last minute of time had been squeezed out.
Gladys closed her eyes and prepared to sleep peacefully in the darkness.
Her eyelids closed, the light before her eyes was covered by darkness, and Gladys suddenly felt something was wrong...
Wait, why are the lights off? She didn't move.
Gladys's eyes snapped open.
She saw a person standing beside the bed.
A pair of beautiful golden eyes looked at Gladys.
Gladys met his gaze.
Gladys: “…”
Gladys blinked.
Laura also blinked.
Gladys: “…………”
She suddenly sat up, "Oh! Why are you in my room?!"
"Because Her Majesty the Witch pushed me in and closed the door." Laura tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Gladys was surprised.
Gladys' heart shuddered.
The image in my mind immediately flashed back.
Yes, she pushed Laura into the room casually. She seemed too panicked, so she didn't pay attention to the direction... Could it be the room on the right?
So, Laura is right...
Gladys had a conflicted expression.
No! She, the evil witch, cannot be defeated!
Gladys quickly hugged Laura's waist and said confidently, "You little princess are my servant, the evil witch. I asked you to come in first and warm my bed. Is that a problem?"
