"Master Pierre."
Pier, busy with the experiment, looked up.
"Shuegler?" Pierce frowned slightly. "How could it be you?"
"Yes, my lord, I'm here to deliver the potion I completed today."
"Why not Isadora? Isn't she always here?"
Gong Hao carefully observed Pier's reaction, and he could see that there was a sense of impatience deep inside him.
Then he replied: "Princess Avril has been on Purgatory Island for almost two months. She thought she should go back, so today she called Isadora back."
"Really? That's too bad."
"Yes lord, Isadora is smart, beautiful, and very cute. I can't bear her to leave. When I think of her leaving, I feel like I have lost something."
Gong Hao's words were simply sentimental to Pierre's feelings, and he completely met his heart.
This fascinating little goblin has appeared in front of him almost every day this month.
She is so beautiful and fascinating that her every act and every effort made Piere unable to extricate herself.
If it wasn't the Alchemy Tower, but at the Warrington School of Magic, Pier might have raped her and killed her.
"When are they leaving?" Pier asked Gong Hao.
"Three days later. In fact, I saw Isadora crying after receiving the news."
"she cried?"
"Yes, she was crying alone, and she could not bear to leave this place. My lord, I think this is a weird thing. A maid has no reason to cry because she wants to leave Purgatory Island. In fact, I think she seems to be lately. What's abnormal. "
"What do you mean?"
"I think she may fall in love. You know, there are many outstanding teenagers on Purgatory Island. Especially the apprentices, they are smart, funny, and knowledgeable. When Isadora does not help me, she often goes with other people Of her apprentices mingled, compared to the time they spent with each other, but spent the least time with me. I think she may secretly fall in love with someone. "
"Is this possible?" Pierce frowned, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. No, she is mine. How can she like others? Git!
Gong Hao continued: "When I left the test last night, I noticed that she seemed to say something to see in the jungle tomorrow night."
"You mean Isadora is secretly dating someone?"
"I think so, sir. But I'm not sure, you know it might be that I heard wrong. And after I came out, she said nothing, and I didn't see who she was talking to."
"But you can't deny that she is very likely to leave the castle to date someone tonight, right?"
"Yes, this is why I want to tell you about this. You know that achievement comes from hard work, and love is the most distracting thing for anyone. If any apprentice has happened to a girl, Feelings, then the consequence is likely that they will no longer work hard. I am worried that if this continues, it will cause major mistakes in work or other adverse consequences. "
"Your concerns are right. Alchemy does not allow distractions."
"Then, if you agree, I hope that I can go to the grove tonight and I want to know which apprentice was there in secret."
"No." Pierce flatly refused: "It's not appropriate, Glair. You should know that Isadora is a princess's maid, and once such a secret tryst is detected, it will not look good to the princess's face. This will affect The royal reputation. "
"Yes, you are right, I believe the princess will not like this kind of thing."
"Did you tell anyone about this?"
"No, sir, I didn't tell anyone."
"Very well, from now on you don't ask Isadora and that apprentice. After all, they have three days left, so let it all pass, I hope that apprentice can restore his mind and concentrate on his work."
"Yes, sir, then I retreat first."
"Go." Pier waved.
Looking at the back of Gong Hao's departure, Piere's eyes spewed out angry and almost burned all the flames of reason. Oh, Isadora, my love, how can you fool around with other men on my back?
No, I must not accept that this happened.
Tonight ... Yes tonight, I know what to do.
Good, Higgler, thank you very much for your news, this gave me a godsend. The apprentice will be my demon, and Shuigler will be my witness, but in order to prevent the instructor from discovering all this, it seems that she can't cut off those wonderful parts of her.
However, tonight, it will be an exciting night.
Yes, it's really exciting!
Pierre closed his eyes.
In the princess's bedroom, Gong Hao continued to tell stories to Avril.
"There are many sayings about the origin of the masquerade. There is a saying that winter is coming to an end, spring is coming, and all kinds of evils and ghosts will return to the old mountains in the mountains and no longer endanger the world. In order not to let them reveal their identities , Quietly left, so this kind of parade was specially set up to send them off. There is also a saying that it comes from the upper court. In some countries, the monarch will always be with his subjects when there is a major celebration. There is a cheerful dance in the palace. Since the monarch is the supreme existence, the courtiers always take great care when playing with the monarchs, which makes the joy impossible.
"Yes, that's why I like to be with you." Ai Weier interrupted Gong Hao's speech.
"So a clever queen later came up with a way to have the monarch and courtiers change the clothes that represent their identities, and then everyone put on a mask. So when they are celebrating, you ca n’t see each other clearly Face, you do n’t need to worry that you are facing the monarch, and you are not able to speak with joy. Especially the monarch will not intervene in the celebration at first, but secretly inserted halfway, he will not show his own to anyone. Identity, just to be able to enjoy the pleasure of equality once. "
"Oh, it ’s a good way. No one knows when to dance with himself, it may be his Majesty the King. But my father is so fat that even if he wears a mask, others can see him from his stomach. Come."
Gong Hao laughed: "Yes, in fact, this method does not have much effect. Many people have their own way to identify who is their monarch, and even if the monarch is not there, they dare not speak loudly at will. Everyone is afraid that his speech may be heard by a certain spy who may be right next to it. It does not let the aristocratic party completely let go of it, but it still spreads. Because in folk, this way of celebration is very interesting. Think about it, everyone walks into the street with a mask, and you do n’t know who you are dancing with. Maybe a face under that mask is what you have been waiting for for a long time, but it may also be what you hate. Yes, but in the situation where you do n’t know anything, you let go of everything and laugh with joy. You can even go to the folk and listen to people ’s discussions about the country and the royal family. Because you brought a mask, no one Know who you are so you can hear a lot of truth. People open their hearts by covering up their appearances. This is the original meaning of the masquerade, at least I think so. "
"It's really great. When I get back to Warrington, I'm going to let my father go through a masquerade. Then I run out secretly, stay with the people and listen to them say those interesting things. Of course, all People are not as good as you, Xiuyi. "
"Do you like this idea?" Gong Hao asked her.
"Of course, I like it very much. I can't wait to try it now."
"Oh, the masquerade can only take place at night. Under the light of the bonfire, two people wear masks, as if facing each other strangers. Then they will sit down and talk to each other and say whatever they want, and Do n’t worry about any consequences. They can chat while drinking delicious fruit wine without anyone taking off the mask, so they only use their hearts to communicate ... This is a very interesting experience. It is not necessary for many people to try. "
"So shall we try it tonight?"
"I'm afraid your housekeeper and servants will stop you."
"We can come out secretly. Can you do it right? I love the feeling, just like you took me to the Alchemy Tower last time." Avril was very excited.
"Yes Avril." Gong Hao nodded: "Since you insist, then I suggest you prepare a maid's costume before I prepare a mask for you. By the way, what kind of mask do you like? "
Avril thought about it for a while, then affirmed, "I want the kind of claws that look fierce."
"Oh, no, Avril. That's not okay. You know it's in the evening and it will scare people."
"Oh, no one will see it anyway."
"But I think you'd better wear a cute mask."
"Well, Xiuyi, I will wear whatever you like."
"Then I'll go back and make a mask for you, and I'll send it back to you."
"Well," Avril narrowed her neck and replied, covering her mouth and laughing secretly.
"I think it will be a wonderful night." Gong Hao did not intentionally taste it.
When evening arrived, Gong Hao gave Ai Weier a mask.
A cute little rabbit.
When it was late at night, Avril put on her maid costume, put on a bunny mask, and then crept out of the side window.
She jumped out of the window, banged, and was falling in the arms of Gong Hao.
Outside the window was originally guarded by a samurai. However, Avril Lavigne all transferred away in advance for the incredible reason that "you have blocked my favorite moonlight." This made it a breeze to sneak out of the castle with Gong Hao and Ai Weier inside and outside.
As soon as she ran out of the castle, Avril couldn't help but laugh and leaned back together: "Oh, Xiuyi, this is so interesting. We are like a pair of men and women who have sex. The days with you are so wonderful every day."
Gong Hao also laughed: "So you want to be more fun?"
"You still have more fun?" Avril's big eyes sparkled under the rabbit mask.
"Of course." Gong Hao said, "There is a form of entertainment called drama, a beautiful art form. It was born in the folk and has been passed down for centuries to make people miss it. There are many wonderful moving stories in drama. . People use these stories in their usual celebrations to make masquerade more exciting. "
"Talk about what to do?"
"Remember the story of Romeo and Juliet I told you?"
"Oh, that was a tragedy, Xiuyi, you lied to me a lot of tears." Ai Weier hit Gong Hao with a small fist, looks like a coquettish lover.
"Yes, a very classic tragedy, a couple of loving men and women cannot come together because of the background behind them. People sometimes light a bonfire at a masquerade, and then a couple of men and women will meditate on Romeo by the bonfire The dialogue with Juliet is as if they are the main characters in the tragedy. It is a very engaged performance. Through this performance, they can experience the sweet taste of love and feel various feelings, including joy, sweetness, Good, including pain, sorrow, and worry ... Do you want to try? "
Avril was excited.
She nodded slightly.
Gong Hao took out a bottle of potion for her.
"Drink this," he said.
"what is this?"
"A voice-changing potion that can make your voice thicker temporarily and increase the contagious power of speaking."
"Oh, you're always so committed and thoughtful."
Avril drank the potion.
Then she asked softly, "Where do we come?"
"The scene under the moon and the last scene of life and death are the two most wonderful plots. This is the script. I will learn it later. Oh yes, in these two content, we will call The other ’s nickname. "
"Nickname? You haven't told me they have a nickname before."
"That was my negligence."
"Well then, Xiuyi, what should I call you?"
"Call me Ivo."
"Ivo? The name of the apprentice in the castle?"
"Just a coincidence."
"So what is Juliet's nickname?"
"Isha."
"Oh, this is so coincidental, Isadora is also called Isa."
"A perfect story, Avril."
