Alucard did not completely believe in herself, but at least from this moment to the end of the ceremony, Elena believed that he would be on her side without reservation.
Alucard is the most important part of his life-saving plan.
Now that Alucard is on her side, her plan finally has no worries.
Soon after, Elena put her mother's hairpin back on and left the room alone. She came to the auditorium again, glanced at the seventh seat at the seventh table, then smiled at the empty seats and walked towards the corridor without any hesitation.
"Does counting a hundred numbers really take that long for Nini?" Elena muttered to herself, walking closer and closer to her lounge.
However, at this moment, a respectful greeting suddenly sounded in her ears.
"My beautiful princess, if I guess correctly, you are going to find the little girl holding the teddy bear, right?"
Elena stopped on her high heels and turned her head slightly. I saw that I was standing right in front of the third painting on the corridor.
[Portrait: Shrewd Goblin]
At this moment, the goblin in the painting is staring at Elena with a pair of treacherous eyes, like a philistine profiteer, with a playful smile.
Elena opened her mouth slightly.
"Your surprised expression seems as if you didn't expect a portrait to speak?" The corners of the goblin's mouth in the painting became even wider.
"I really didn't expect it." Elena quickly calmed down and nodded.
This painting has always been mysterious in Elena's mind. Even in three "visible futures", it only appeared once. And it does not appear in the form of a portrait, but in the form of its essence - the "mirror of illusion".
But now that it has not recovered its body, it suddenly actively talks to herself in the way of a "goblin in a painting", which is enough to show that she has triggered some kind of flag of this "chaotic neutral" guy.
Elena turned around gracefully, stood calmly in front of [Portrait: Shrewd Goblin], smiled and said: "Hello, shrewd goblin, I am indeed going to find my blood bonder, please stop me suddenly. , is there something going on?"
"You can't go looking for her, beautiful princess." The goblin in the painting seemed to be saying kindly, "The bloody king will be reborn today. If he finds out that his daughter has become your blood contracter, he will definitely kill you immediately. Turned into a pool of smelly blood!"
"The Bloody King..." Elena was suddenly horrified, "You said he will be reborn today?!"
"That's right, beautiful princess. The day of his rebirth was determined as early as the moment he was born into this world." The goblin in the painting solemnly warned, "So you are in danger, beautiful princess. You are at this moment If you go to find the blood doll, you will always be with her, and the bloody king will come to find her daughter as soon as possible after he is reborn, and by the way, he will break your body into pieces."
"But if you don't go find her, then the bloody doll will definitely count her countless numbers until the bloody king comes." The goblin in the painting said.
Elena's breathing gradually became heavier: "Can I live if I don't go to her?"
"Of course!" the goblin affirmed.
"The best way now is to escape from the castle immediately before the bloody king is resurrected. Three hundred miles to the west of the castle is the Lost Jungle. Even if you are a king, you will never get out once you enter there. If you can Escape there, I believe that the bloody king will never dare to go in to find you. But as a price, you will also be lost in the jungle forever, but this is better than death, don't you think? Princess? "
Listening to the kind reminder from the goblin in the painting, Elena felt trembling.
what's the situation?
I haven't settled my coming-of-age ceremony yet, but a new situation is about to arise!
Is it so difficult to live by yourself?
Fortunately, Elena calmed down quickly, because she once again remembered the first piece of Aunt Mary's advice - the third painting in the corridor always lies.
So she took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and smiled again: "That's a perfect suggestion. But why do you want to help me?"
"No, no, no, princess who pretends to be calm, I will never help anyone." The goblin in the painting smiled slyly, "The reason why I give you advice is because I have the "Survival Manual" in the Lost Forest. If If you want to survive in the Lost Jungle, then I think you will need it."
"You... want to do business with me?" Elena raised the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, shrewd princess. And my manual is very cheap, very cheap. It only requires... a small hairpin on your head." The goblin in the painting smiled slyly.
"This is not cheap, Goblin Boss." Elena said with a half-smile, "The key to the 'gate' is only exchanged for a "Survival Manual". You really know how to do business."
"Oh! You are smarter than I expected. Your Highness, your wisdom is like a real goblin. But I think that nothing seems to be that important compared with life. What do you think? Haha." The goblin said not to be outdone.
"Indeed, I just want to live." Elena nodded, but asked again in the expectation of the goblin: "But, why should I believe you? Did you say that the bloody king is reborn today, he will be reborn today ?"
"You know, not everyone can withstand the illusion of time. I know the day of his rebirth better than anyone else. Please believe this, Your Highness," the goblin in the painting affirmed.
The corners of Elena's mouth continued to twitch up: "Let me guess, the reason why you can expose the illusion is because you are the 'mirror of illusion', and you are full of lies! How about someone who doesn't even dare to show his true face? Man, how do you expect me to believe it?"
This time the goblin's face visibly stiffened, and his sly smile hardened.
"Shrewd princess, you really surprised me. I really don't know how you were able to break through my delusion?"
This time, the goblin in the painting did not speak, instead there was a sharp mouth that suddenly cracked open at the bottom of the frame. Immediately afterwards, a row of terrifying eyes suddenly appeared above the frame. After they turned several times in different directions, they all struck at Elena. They were all shocked.
At this moment, the gnome in the frame disappeared, replaced by a smooth mirror that reflected Elena's face clearly.
"Look! You are indeed dishonest. Your actions and words are all full of falsehood, so it is impossible for me to believe you." Elena shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, the business between us has gone bad. "
"No no! Your shrewd princess! I am the most honest mirror in the world!" The vain mirror rolled his eyes anxiously, eager to prove himself.
