Capítulo 576: Chapter 94 Task and Audience

“…!”

Upon hearing the Duchess’s suggestive remarks, the mouse and the duck were immediately startled.

However, they felt relieved that, at this moment, the ugly-faced White Rabbit was standing on their side.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, madam. They are merely my house servants, and what’s more, they serve willingly.”

Anvis slightly furrowed his brow, squinting his pink rabbit eyes in ‘confusion’ as he looked at the Duchess, and he emphasized the word ‘willingly’.

The Duchess said nothing, merely watching Anvis silently, who also fearlessly met her gaze.

“…Well, if Mr. Luo Bet insists, it’s not really a matter of great importance.”

At last, the Duchess voluntarily changed the subject. In this Dream World, the White Rabbit was a very special being, and she did not wish to provoke him unnecessarily.

“Her Majesty the Queen has summoned a round table tea party taking place at noon today. My name is on the invitation list, as is yours. Half a Magic Time from now, we may go together.”

“However, half a Magic Time later will be precisely twelve o’clock, and we need to arrive at the tea party venue ahead of time.”

Anvis took out his pocket watch to check the time, and the pointer on the dial had instead returned to eleven-thirty.

“I think you’re right, Mr. Luo Bet.”

The Duchess nodded, closed the lid of the box, and with a casual pat, it disappeared.

“So the lesson is: if you wish to arrive on time, you must set off in advance.”

“Your lessons are always worth our deep contemplation, madam.”

Anvis bowed again, but his tone was slightly cold.

“Then please wait here a moment, Mr. Luo Bet. I need to prepare for my audience with the Queen.”

Saying this, the Duchess stood up on her own and left the reception room.

“She is quite a strange person, but perhaps in this place, she’s the most normal ‘person’.”

The duck Player, who transformed into a swan, stealthily glanced at the White Rabbit embodied by Anvis and noticed he appeared to be ‘resting with his eyes closed’, they secretly exchanged looks with the mouse and began to communicate on the team channel.

“Yes, because so far, she’s the only ‘person’ we’ve seen here.”

The mouse shrugged his shoulders; he didn’t care about these things. Everything in this instance was strange, but as long as they could complete the task, it was acceptable.

“This should be a rare fairytale-type instance. Such instances are generally safe, but if you touch upon the taboo items in the instance rules, you might encounter an unreasonable plot kill.”

Teacher Gu Frog analyzed.

“I’ll check on the forum to see if there’s a detailed guide for this instance. If not, we can consult the paid section. This task is worth our investment.”

Kuang Baoshu the parrot also spoke up, immediately opened the forum methodically, began searching for information, and forwarded the collected guides to the team channel.

However, what the players didn’t know was that Anvis, who was ‘resting with his eyes closed’ at the side, was also keeping an eye on their group chat.

The players’ intelligence gathering capabilities were exactly what he needed.

……..

Meanwhile, after the Duchess returned to her private room, she immediately stripped off her dress, stacked layer upon layer like a cake, threw it aside, and stretched her body with ease.

Then, she took out a Crystal Ball and glanced at it; the scene that appeared within showed Anvis and the small animals in the reception room.

Just as Anvis had deduced, she wasn’t a true ‘Duchess.’ Instead, she was a Senior Explorer. Her real name was Lina, code-named “Dream Eater,” one of the strongest giants among Senior Explorers.

Just like Anvis, she too was merely playing the role of the ‘Duchess.’

Lina’s arrival in this world was not by chance. Previously, the entire Inheritance Land suddenly presented a special trial aimed at all seniors: “New World.”

This special task, rare in Inheritance Land, had the objective of aiding Inheritance Land itself to devour other Dream Worlds.

The trial was seldom-seen Level Three, indicating that the world targeted this time was a large-scale Dream World.

Should they complete the task, all participants would receive a precious privilege reward. Depending on their individual Completion, they could even hope to obtain some of the exceedingly rare Dream Authority Fragments.

As a Dream World left behind by a being on the brink of becoming a Legend, Inheritance Land, like a creature with infinite growth potential, would constantly ‘devour’ other suitable worlds within the Deep Dream, nourishing itself.

Fairytale Dream Worlds are one of the types that meet the criteria.

According to the preliminary exploration by Trialists, Lina and others discovered this world to be quite unique. It had existed for a long time, and everything within it seemed to evolve as if genuinely real.

However, the world often underwent bizarre regressions in time, and one hallmark of such a regression was the seemingly ordinary white rabbit in the parlor.

After every burst of regression power, it would be the first to appear in the new world.

Therefore, until the key to the regression phenomenon was identified, Lina dared not rashly disturb it. If she accidentally triggered the taboo of this Dream World, she would be unable to withstand erasure from the rule level.

Today’s audience with the Queen was an opportunity, a chance to reestablish contact with her ‘companions.’

She had never previously met the Queen herself, but perhaps other Trialist giants had already infiltrated the Queen’s entourage, or even replaced the Queen entirely.

After making contact, they must quickly organize defenses within this world to fend off their eternal enemy, the ‘Nightmare Spirits.’

“I can’t see any problems. Could it be the key to regression, or is it merely a facade?”

Staring at the white rabbit in the crystal ball, serenely resting with eyes closed, Lina was somewhat uncertain.

.….….

Fifteen minutes later, under the lead of the newly dressed Duchess, the group boarded a giant pumpkin carriage and reached the center of the entire city, in front of an extraordinarily grand white castle.

Anvis’s gaze also held a hint of wonder; the grandeur of this fairytale castle almost matched that of Moon Castle.

Passing through the majestic castle gates and moat, the pumpkin carriage smoothly entered a magical garden blooming with exotic flowers and plants.

Pristinely trimmed bushes were bedecked with silver-white roses, and gorgeous stone fountains gushed crystal clear water, refracting a kaleidoscope of colors under the sunlight.

This beautiful garden was the venue for the upcoming tea party; at this moment, many noble guests were already awaiting there. Among them were animals dressed in formal attire and beings that looked like normal humans.

Among these guests, Anvis in the guise of a white rabbit noticed more than one Trialist.

The Duchess was also aware of this, and after exchanging glances with a few Trialists, she directly approached two of them and started whispering about something.

Anvis paid attention for a moment and noticed it seemed to be ordinary discussion; she didn’t continue to focus, as they appeared to avoid publicly discussing topics that could compromise their current identities.

Once the pocket watch hit twelve, Anvis finally saw the ‘Her Majesty the Queen’ who summoned them.

Carrying a blue-gray kitten with a peculiar smile on her lap, a crystal-like little dragon floated behind her, adorned in a majestic white gown with layers upon layers of ruffles, with sunlight-bright, golden hair cascading over her shoulders and back.

Two columns of Secret Magic Card soldiers followed her, one soldier carrying a red cushion with a silver dreamy crown upon it.

Her Majesty the Queen Fiona made a dazzling entrance.
