Chapter 130 Testing whether the magic mirror is useful (6k)

Before Cinderella could finish her words, Zhao Xun had already jumped off the queen's body.

He took advantage of the queen's inability to open her eyes, transformed back into human form, and took the plate from Cinderella's hand.

Then, he walked out of the room directly.

Cinderella was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. She wanted to stop Zhao Xun's bold behavior, but she was also afraid that her words would attract the queen's attention, so she finally endured it.

"Wait," the queen was afraid that Cinderella would leave. After hearing Cinderella's words, she hurriedly said, "Cinderella, please help me find a handkerchief first. I want to wipe my tears."

Cinderella came back to her senses. She took out her handkerchief and put it in the queen's hand: "Queen, this is my handkerchief. If you don't mind, you can use it first."

The queen thanked her and quickly wiped her eyes with her handkerchief.

"I'm sorry, queen, I don't know what was on that cat's paws. I've already driven him away." Cinderella apologized proactively, "I will find him later and make sure to wash his paws clean."

"Forget it, what can a cat know?" The queen finally stopped crying and could open her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief and her attitude towards Cinderella was quite friendly. "It extended its claws to me, probably because it wanted to show me Okay, it wasn’t intentional.”

Hearing what the queen said, Cinderella felt much relieved.

Then she added: "Then I'd better call a doctor to come and take a look at you, so as not to hurt your eyes, and you also need to apply medicine to the injuries on your fingers."

"Don't bother walking over." The queen smiled, stood up, walked to the window, and said to a maid standing guard downstairs, "Go and call the doctor."

The maid looked up and saw that it was the queen's order, and immediately obeyed.

At this time, Zhao Xun was already on his way to the king and queen's bedroom.

As he left the kitchen and returned to the queen, he observed that it was very close to the master bedroom and that there were no servants nearby.

Obviously, when the queen wanted to be alone with her guests, the servants did not dare to disturb her.

That's why Zhao Xun dared to change back into a human body and go directly to the bedroom.

The journey was smooth, and Zhao Xun quickly walked into the dressing room. The hand mirror was still lying in its original position.

"You're here!" Magic Mirror said happily, "Have you gathered all the materials I need?"

Then it muttered again: "You are quite fast. I thought it would take at least two days to complete it."

"Well." Zhao Xun put the dish containing tears and blood next to the magic mirror, took out the hair, and then asked, "Just put these three things on your mirror? No. Need to do something else?”

"That's right, just let it go, there's no need to do anything else." Magic Mirror paused before adding, "But you have to wait until midnight."

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing before?" Zhao Xun was speechless.

So what's the use of him coming here now?

Isn't it a waste of time?

And by the time it was night, the tears and blood would have dried up long ago.

Didn't everything he did before become in vain?

"Don't worry, I didn't make it clear just now," Magic Mirror explained again, "I mean, you can put all these things on me now, but you have to wait until midnight. Come here and put me in a place with moonlight, and let me be illuminated by the moonlight for half an hour, then I can completely get rid of the Queen's restraint on me."

"...Do you usually talk like this to others?" Zhao Xun couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely." Magic Mirror replied, then asked, "Is there any problem? I feel like it's normal for me to speak like this."

"The reason why you didn't get smashed was entirely because you were useful, not because the way you spoke shouldn't have been smashed." Zhao Xun retorted unceremoniously.

The magic mirror suddenly became unhappy: "I am a great magic mirror. I can answer all the questions you want to know in this world. If you talk to me like this, I won't answer any of your questions."

Zhao Xun chuckled: "Really? It's a pity that you are not omniscient and omnipotent."

Magic Mirror immediately retorted: "Why didn't I..."

"You said it yourself," Zhao Xun interrupted Magic Mirror, "You can't predict the future, you can only know the past and present."

Magic Mirror: "..."

hateful!

If I had known I wouldn't have told the truth then, I can't even pretend to be happy now.

Seeing the silence of the magic mirror, Zhao Xun felt better.

He poured all three items onto the mirror.

Almost in the next second, the smooth mirror surface seemed to turn into water waves, and along with the ripples, blood, tears and hair were gradually submerged in it.

When the mirror returned to calmness, those three items were no longer visible.

"It's done." Magic Mirror's tone became cheerful again, "Just wait for me to bask in the moonlight at night, and I will be free."

Then it worriedly told Zhao Xun: "Don't oversleep at night. At twelve o'clock at midnight, I have to expose myself to the moonlight on time, and it will take half an hour to be useful."

"This is different from the situation agreed before." Zhao Xun bargained, "When I reached the terms with you before, I only knew that I wanted to get the queen's tears, blood, and hair. You didn't say that you had to come over in the middle of the night to steal a mirror and bask in the moonlight. .”

"That's not much." Magic Mirror argued.

"Not only does this add half an hour of trouble, but I also have to find a way to prevent the queen and king from noticing." Zhao Xun snorted coldly, "This is much more troublesome than what I had to do before."

Magic Mirror was silent for a moment and asked reluctantly: "What do you want?"

"You must answer me a question now, and you must tell the truth." Zhao Xun immediately put forward the conditions that he had thought of for a long time. "You must swear on your freedom that the answer you tell me is definitely not a lie, otherwise you will lose it again." Be free and have no escape for eternity."

Since this is a fairy tale world and magic exists, such an oath should be valid.

Magic Mirror's voice suddenly became louder: "Such a heavy oath! Don't you want to help me at all?"

"You have such a big reaction, I have reason to suspect that you don't want to answer my questions truthfully." Zhao Xun turned around and left, "Then there is no need to continue the agreement between you and me."

"Hey, hey, don't leave!" Magic Mirror suddenly became anxious, "You gave me the queen's hair, tears and blood. No one else can do the rest except you."

If it wants to ask someone else for help, it will have to let the other party get the queen's hair, tears and blood again, and it will have to start all over again.

Seeing that the chance to see the sun again was right in front of him, it didn't want to wait any longer.

Zhao Xun paused and looked back at the magic mirror: "In this case, your attitude towards me should be better."

Magic Mirror was silent for a while, and then said reluctantly: "You can't ask me how to bind me through the contract. I can answer you truthfully for everything else."

It doesn't want to just come out of a fire pit and jump into another fire pit.

It should be a mirror of freedom!

"Okay." Zhao Xun agreed readily.

It's not yet certain if the magic mirror will work on him.

If it doesn't work, knowing the contract method is useless.

If it was useful, he could also find a way to find out the contract from the queen.

So he didn't originally want to ask the question about the magic mirror. What he wanted to ask was to first determine whether the magic mirror was useful to him.

Seeing that Zhao Xun didn't want to ask about the contract, Magic Mirror breathed a sigh of relief.

Its tone became lighter: "Then what do you want to ask?"

"Do you know about Endless Train?" Zhao Xun asked.

This was a question he had already thought about.

If the magic mirror knows the existence of the Endless Train, then there is a high probability that it knows the real world.

Because the Endless Train exists in reality.

Then whether you are asking about other things about the real world or about the Endless Train, you will be able to get the answer.

This magic mirror is useful to him.

This time, Magic Mirror was silent for a long time before speaking: "What is the Endless Train? The train doesn't sound like the same thing as the carriage."

This time it was Zhao Xun's turn to be silent.

"Hey, you can't stop fulfilling your promise just because I can't answer your question, can you?" Magic Mirror was a little panicked, "You also know that I am not omniscient and omnipotent. If you ask such a strange question, it is normal that I can't answer it. .”

It was only then that Zhao Xun said solemnly: "You didn't swear."

Magic Mirror was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Zhao Xun said before.

It immediately swore: "I swear by my eternal freedom. I don't know what the Endless Train is. If this is a lie, I will lose my freedom forever."

Zhao Xun breathed out slowly.

He said slowly: "I will come back at night to take you to bask in the moon, but you must answer my second question now."

"You're trying too hard!" Magic Mirror was a little annoyed.

"In the original agreement, you were supposed to answer me a question. In the agreement just now, you have to answer me another question." Zhao Xun said slowly, "There are two questions in total. I just want to advance Just finished asking."

"Then I've finished answering, what will happen if you don't come tonight?" Magic Mirror felt anxious.

"Since I promised you, I will definitely do it." Zhao Xun smiled, "Of course, it's useless if you don't believe it, because now the initiative is in my hands, and you can ask me for anything."

Of course he would not say that in order to complete the task, he must help the magic mirror dissolve the contract with the queen.

Things will be easier to handle if the initiative is in your own hands.

Magic Mirror: "..."

So angry!

"Then you can only ask one more question." Magic Mirror said very reluctantly, "If you go back on your word and ask me a third question, then I would rather stay here and wait for the next person who can help me show up. "

Zhao Xun didn't care about Magic Mirror's warning and asked directly: "Do you know the name of the district chief of the 10th District?"

This question itself does not make much sense, but if the magic mirror can answer it, it will prove that the magic mirror still "knows" the real world.

I don’t know anything about Endless Train, maybe because Endless Train itself has some kind of shield or restriction on the NPCs in the platform game.

After the magic mirror answered the first question, he thought that maybe there was such a possibility.

So by asking the second question, he can confirm whether the magic mirror really knows nothing about the real world, or whether it is restricted by the Endless Train and has no understanding of the Endless Train.

"Eh?" There was obvious embarrassment and confusion in Mo Jing's voice, "Why...why can't I answer such a simple question?"

Although it is not omniscient and omnipotent, it is impossible not to know such a simple question as a person's name.

However, it couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

All it saw was a fog.

Magic Mirror is a little suspicious of the birth of the mirror.

Zhao Xun sighed: "Okay, I'll come back tonight."

After saying that, he turned into a cat again and left the bedroom.

Obviously, the magic mirror is just the magic mirror in fairy tales.

All I know is the characters and plots in fairy tales.

Not only is it not omniscient and omnipotent, it can even be said to be complete ignorance.

For him, this magic mirror has no use other than allowing him to complete his mission.

The idea of ​​the previous contract had to be given up.

Sure enough, it is not that easy to figure out things about Endless Train.

This time the loophole was not exploited.

Forget it, he didn't expect to be able to reveal all the mysteries so quickly.

Zhao Xun returned to the room where Cinderella and the queen were and looked inside.

Seeing that the doctor was carefully bandaging the queen's wound, Cinderella was looking at her with concern and condolences.

Zhao Xun made a meow.

Cinderella and the queen turned back at the same time.

Half of Zhao Xun's body was hidden outside the door, with only his head sticking out.

"He should know that he did something wrong," Cinderella said for Zhao Xun, "he doesn't dare to come in and face the queen."

"This kitten is quite intelligent." The queen smiled, but she was not angry.

"I'm going to wash its paws." Cinderella said as she walked towards the door.

The queen did not stop him.

Cinderella picked up Zhao Xun and walked away, then relaxed a little.

"You scared me to death." Cinderella's voice was so low that she almost spoke into Zhao Xun's ear, "You made the queen cry and hurt me. What on earth are you going to do?"

"I'm helping you get the magic mirror." Zhao Xun said concisely.

Without waiting for Cinderella to ask, Zhao Xun added, "Try to extend your banquet time to one or two hours after midnight tonight."

Originally, he asked Cinderella to propose a banquet so that he could leave the palace with the magic mirror.

Before the banquet started, there were a lot of people coming and going in the palace. It was also night, and there were no electric lights in this era. It was normal for the guards in the palace not to be able to see the people coming and going.

It's most convenient to take advantage of the chaos and run away.

In fact, if Cinderella gets the magic mirror, even if he completes his mission, he doesn't care whether Cinderella can leave the castle.

But if Cinderella had to leave the palace with the magic mirror to complete the mission, he had to consider how to let Cinderella leave.

Holding banquets was what he originally had as a backup plan.

But now, because the magic mirror asked for half an hour of moonlight at midnight, the role of the banquet has changed.

Anyway, luckily he had asked Cinderella to propose a banquet before.

"There's no problem with that. Usually the banquet lasts until one or two o'clock in the night." After Cinderella married the prince, she attended many aristocratic banquets and was very familiar with them. "Sometimes, when everyone is chatting happily, the banquet will be over. It ended the next morning.”

"That's fine." Zhao Xun felt relieved.

"Are you doing all this to help me get the magic mirror?" Cinderella asked in a low voice, "Why do you have to do so many things? I thought I just needed to find the magic mirror and steal it."

"It's not that easy." Zhao Xun explained to Cinderella, "The magic mirror is bound by the queen. It cannot leave the queen's bedroom until it is unbound. I took away the queen's tears and blood just to help the magic mirror." The mirror is unbound."

"Ah, that's actually the case." Cinderella suddenly realized.

Then she seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "So tonight's banquet will be extended to give you time to unbind the magic mirror?"

"Yes, this is another process." Zhao Xun did not elaborate, but just instructed, "When midnight comes, you must find an excuse to come out of the banquet no matter what, and you must be alone."

Cinderella nodded to express her understanding, and then asked: "Then where should I go?"

"Of course, come to the queen's bedroom." Zhao Xun said matter-of-factly, "I will wait for you there."

"I understand." Cinderella nodded repeatedly.

"You should go and accompany the queen, I'll go for a walk somewhere else." After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he jumped directly from Cinderella's arms.

Cinderella watched the cat disappear quickly and sighed helplessly.

She didn't expect that taking away the magic mirror would be so troublesome.

She suddenly felt a little confused and didn't know if what she was doing was the right thing.

However, she really wants to get the magic mirror.

Taking a deep breath, Cinderella adjusted herself, returned to the room, and continued to have a good relationship with the queen.

*

Zhao Xun found an empty guest room in the corner, turned back into a human body, and hid in an empty closet to rest.

From last night to now, he has been in a state of transformation most of the time, and his mental energy has been consumed most of the time.

In order to be able to deal with all kinds of trouble tonight, he had to return to his human form and rest for a few hours.

Lying in the closet, if someone comes in, it is not easy to be found.

Even if someone were to open the closet, he would have time to become a cat again.

Zhao Xun chose a slightly more comfortable position, curled up and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

Night gradually fell.

Even in his sleep, Zhao Xun could vaguely hear footsteps from time to time in the corridor outside.

But they were just passing by.

The evening banquet should be about to begin, and all the servants are busy making preparations.

After another burst of hurried footsteps passed by, the door of the room where Zhao Xun was located was suddenly opened.

Zhao Xun woke up immediately.

He opened his eyes and listened carefully to the movement outside, but his body did not move.

"Princess, don't worry." Zhao Zhao's voice sounded, "They are holding a banquet tonight, and I just have time to find your mother's portrait for you."

"I want to find it too." Snow White's voice followed closely, "One more person means more strength."

"You are the princess of your kingdom. If you don't show up at the banquet, you will attract attention." Zhaozhao reminded angrily, "I am different. Most people don't know me. Even if I am not here, there are not many people. care."

"Then...Okay." Snow White reluctantly compromised, and finally she said a little uneasily, "But you don't know if what you found is the portrait I want most. I am very interested in that portrait. I only have a vague impression and can’t describe it. Only when I see it do I know whether it is what I want.”

"Don't worry, I will bring you all the portraits I find." Zhaozhao comforted, "As long as I find them, I will bring them back to you."

Princess Snow White felt a little more at ease: "Zhaozhao, you are so kind!"

"This is what I should do." Zhao Zhao smiled sheepishly and asked, "By the way, this palace should have a place similar to a basement, right? Can you tell me? I want to take this opportunity to go to the basement. Take a look, maybe the painting you want most is hidden in the basement?"

"I don't know..." Snow White was a little depressed, "I didn't know there was a basement in the palace."

"It's okay, I'll figure it out myself." Zhao Zhao quickly comforted, "You don't have to be so sad. I've always been very lucky. Maybe I found the basement by accident."

Snow White did not speak, but sobbed a few times.

"Okay, okay, princess, don't cry. It will be difficult to explain if others see you later." Zhao Zhao patiently comforted Princess Snow White, "Don't worry, I will definitely find what you want. A portrait."

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Snow White's voice was full of hope.

The two girls discussed the next plan again. If someone asked where Zhao Zhao was, what kind of excuse should Snow White make.

After agreeing on these, the two girls opened the door and walked out of the room.

Zhao Xun listened to the whole process in the closet and knew that Zhao Zhao also wanted to take action during the banquet.

However, Zhao Zhao had already visited the king and queen's bedroom before, so she probably wouldn't go there again.

At least I won't go again tonight.

Unless she has searched everywhere and still doesn't find what she wants, she might start looking again.

Zhaozhao's main goal tonight should be to find the basement and other rooms that have not been searched before.

As long as we don't run into him and don't interfere with each other, that's fine.

Zhao Xun yawned and fell asleep again.

He slept until half past eleven at night.

At this time, the banquet hall was already very lively, while other places became extremely deserted.

Most of the maids have been transferred to the banquet hall to serve the guests.

Zhao Xun came out of the closet, moved his numb hands and feet, and walked out the window to look at the brightly lit banquet hall.

A few people in gorgeous clothes came out of the hall to take a breath or smoke. When the patrols passing by outside saw them, they would say hello politely before leaving.

The soldiers responsible for vigil and patrol are all working, but they are very polite to the "nobles".

This is a point that can be exploited.

Zhao Xun stretched his arms.

It was almost time for him to take action.
