Flipping back another page, but it was blank, with no content.
The writing on the last few pages was fresh, obviously written not long ago.
In the quiet room, besides the sound of paper flipping, there was only the faint and steady breathing of Bai Lixin.
The candle flickered silently, burning to the end and the surroundings gradually became shrouded in darkness until the last flicker of the candle went out, and the room lost its last trace of light.
Perhaps it was due to the dreamlike nature of Miu Miu’s Dreamland, the word “time” had always been in disarray.
When he returned to the seaside city, he had checked the time display in the upper right corner of the taskbar. After the long time skip, the time on the taskbar showed only a night and day had passed.
Using time as a coordinate axis for dreams was not a wise thing to do.
In dreams, people often dream of individual events. Some people can have several chaotic dreams in one night, sometimes dreaming of childhood, sometimes dreaming of adulthood. One moment they are doing one thing, and the next moment they jump to another thing.
Bai Lixin closed the diary and put it back in its original place in the dark.
Then he walked to the door and was just about to open it when heavy footsteps approached.
S419: [It’s the royal magician coming back.]
Bai Lixin made a soft [mm] in his mind. He searched the room and jumped up to the hidden spot on the beam supporting the ceiling just as the door was pushed open by someone.
The very old Royal Magician walked in slowly, and the light from the corridor poured into the room, adding a little brightness to the dark room.
His breathing was accompanied by the heavy panting of an old man. “Ah, the candles are all extinguished.”
His voice was low and hoarse, as if there was thick phlegm in his throat, with a rustling sensation in his tone.
He walked slowly to the candles, replacing them with new ones.
The friction sound of the match being lit echoed, and it didn’t take long for the room to be lit up again.
Bai Lixin slowed his breathing and hid his entire body in the darkness, silently observing the movements of the Royal Magician below.
The Royal Magician walked with a cane, unsteadily coming to the table, his cloudy eyes staring blankly at the candles not far away.
After staring blankly for a while, he tremblingly poured himself a cup of tea and sighed, “Ah, one wrong step, one wrong step and everything is gone.”
Just then, there was a knocking on the door.
The Royal Magician hesitated for a few seconds, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Royal Magician. Can I come in?” Despite the voice being somewhat unclear through the door, Bai Lixin still recognized it. It was the voice of the prince.
The Royal Magician hesitated noticeably, and it was only when the young man became impatient that he nodded reluctantly, “Please come in, Your Highness the Prince.”
The door was pushed open and the prince walked in with a sullen face, slamming the door shut behind him.
Bai Lixin lowered his breath even further, seeming as if he had merged with the darkness at that moment.
The Royal Magician’s face showed a slight discomfort, and his frail body struggled to stand up with a cane. The prince sneered when he saw this, “Royal Magician, you don’t need to bow since you’re not feeling well. I’m here to discuss a few matters with you.”
The words “discuss a few matters” were emphasized.
After speaking, the prince went straight to the sofa and sat down. From Bai Lixin’s perspective, he could clearly see both the prince and the Royal Magician.
The Royal Magician obviously did not want to communicate with the prince, but still asked patiently, “What would you like to discuss with me?”
The prince said, “Discuss the future of the kingdom, the future of the king and queen, and my own future, which also includes the matter of marriage.”
The Royal Magician was puzzled, “?”
The prince continued, “Now that I am safe, and the king and queen are growing old, it’s time for them to enjoy their later years. So I have come to discuss with the Royal Magician about the coronation ceremony of the king in two months. And also to get married as soon as possible, the beautiful mermaid lady from the neighboring kingdom has captured my heart, I think she would be a suitable candidate.”
The Royal Magician’s cane fell to the ground with a dull thud. “Two months?! Your Highness, you shouldn’t deceive people so much. You’re in such a hurry to ascend to the throne, aren’t you afraid of criticism? After all, those two are your own parents. Aren’t you afraid of divine punishment for treating them like this?”
The prince glanced coldly at the Royal Magician, a wicked smile creeping onto his face. “Yes, they may be my parents in your eyes, but to me, they are nothing more than obstacles.”
“What’s false remains false, how can it become true?”
“The mortal realm is deceptive, and only those who live in it believe in such things.”
The Royal Magician glared at the prince. “Your words are utterly incomprehensible and senseless.”
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been bewitched for a moment and brought that seed back to offer to the king and queen, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.”
“You’re wrong,” the prince’s expression suddenly turned eerie for a moment and he smirked. “Even without you, I would still have become like this. You and I, are we not the so-called dark forces? I’ve already said that those are just fairy tales. I am who I am, and I came here to destroy you all, not to join you.”
“Royal Magician, you’re a clever person. As long as you’re willing to follow me, I promise to lead you to the path of prosperity.”
S419: [Ah! Did the werewolf just self-destruct? My lord, the prince’s words – “obstacles”, “what’s false remains false”, “I am who I am”, “I came here to destroy you all” – tsk tsk tsk, aren’t these clear signs of an invader? The prince is the invader after all.]
Bai Lixin: [……]
———————-
I the lives broadcast room.
[I bet five copper coins that the prince is definitely not the invader.]
[Huh, why?]
[Because I have learned the process of elimination. If it looks like it, or catches your eye, then it’s probably not it. Now that I think the prince looks like the invader, then he must not be the invader.]
[I also think so, I think it’s the Royal Magician.]
[The door was deliberately left ajar, and the diary was placed conspicuously, as if afraid that God Xin wouldn’t notice it. I deeply feel that this is digging a pit for God Xin, misleading him.]
[Yeah, how could the invader expose himself so easily? He’s not stupid.]
[You all make good points. I also recalled my previous experiences, and yes, I no longer think it’s the prince.]
[… But is there a possibility that what you think is not, is actually the case? Isn’t this a fairytale World? The people in the fairytale world are quite simplistic, good is good, bad is bad, and after it’s over, the conspiracies and tricks are very direct and rough. They shouldn’t be hiding so deep, right?]
[Ah, this… what you said is actually…]
[I declare, I give up tormenting myself.]
——————
The dispute between the prince and the Royal Magician continued, and Bai Lixin leaned lazily against a pillar, feeling somewhat bored.
“You’re responsible for your own actions!” The prince threw this sentence at the Royal Magician in anger and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The tense atmosphere that was originally palpable dissipated instantly with the departure of one person, and the room fell silent, shrouded in a quietude tinged with oppression, lingering around the Royal Magician.
The Royal Magician walked to the table, sighed, took out his diary, and started writing again.
[The prince is becoming stranger and stranger, he actually usurped the throne. He doesn’t seem like someone from this world, but more like an invader. What’s wrong with this world? Is this really the real world?]
After writing these few sentences, the Royal Magician closed the diary, tremblingly placed his fingers on the upper left corner, and extinguished the candle before pushing the door and leaving.
After the Royal Magician had walked far away, Bai Li Xin jumped down from the beam and left through the slightly ajar main door.
On the way, S419 asked Bai Li Xin in his mind, [Lord Host, who do you think is the invader?]
Bai Li Xin pondered for a moment, furrowing his brow slightly and was lost in thought.
Seeing that Bai Lixin didn’t reply, S419M stopped asking and instead scanned the fairytale world.
[Lord Host, I just scanned the fairytale world. The fading of color in the three worlds has reached 50%, and the rate at which it’s fading is accelerating. At this rate, all the colors of the fairytale world will be gone in a day.]
[What are you thinking?]
Bai Lixin touched the dragon scale in his necklace and said, [I am thinking about the prophecy left by the Diamond Bird.]
S419: [Ah? Which sentence?]
Bai Li Xin looked up at the night sky with three different colored moons hanging above: [When the sun and the moon align, the world will bloom with colors.]
S419M’s eyes lit up: [Isn’t this the prophecy left by the Lord God? Why not just ask the Lord God directly?]
Bai Li Xin: [The problem is that he doesn’t know.]
S419M: [What?]
Bai Lixin: [I asked him, and he said this sentence was spoken subconsciously, but he didn’t know why he said it.]
S419: […]
[It doesn’t matter though,] Bai Lixin rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, [I probably know what’s going on. We were most likely fooled. Let me go confirm it.]
S419: [Fooled? By whom?]
Bai Lixin didn’t answer s419M’s questions anymore, because he had already found Prince Mia.
When Bai Lixin caught up to the prince, he was walking alone in the corridor.
“Long time no see, Your Highness,” Bai Lixin called out to the prince, who turned around with a puzzled expression on his face. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized, “It’s really you! I saw you flash by in the banquet hall earlier, and I thought it was an illusion. You didn’t die after all?”
Bai Lixin smiled, “Thanks to your blessings, the curse was lifted, and I didn’t die.”
The prince looked at Bai Lixin up and down with some surprise. “The curse was actually lifted, you’re really impressive. But it’s also good, my original intention was just to free myself from the curse, not to let you die. Since you’re not dead, it means that you’re not meant to die.”
“Yeah, I wasn’t meant to die. And I had a strange dream, in which I turned into a prince, and you, who had aged, became my father.”
The prince’s expression became even more subtle, and his eyes were fixed on Bai Lixin’s face. “That’s a good dream. If it were before, I could have killed you for dreaming such a ridiculous dream, but today is my coming-of-age ceremony, and I’m in a good mood, so I’ll let you go.”
“I also dreamed that my mother, who was your wife, was a beautiful mermaid princess. She had long hair like seaweed, and her face was as lovely as an elf.”
“Oh, a mermaid.” The prince’s fierce expression softened a bit, showing a nostalgic expression. “You really know how to dream. I often dream of a mermaid becoming my wife, the queen of the country, and having a son and a daughter, but I forget what they look like when I wake up.”
He paused and began to scrutinize Bai Lixin’s face thoughtfully. “Hmm… If my son looked like you, it would be quite wonderful. This dream might come true soon. By the way, how did you lift the curse? This curse has been troubling me for eighteen years, and I’ve tried countless methods, but none of them worked.”
“Ha, it was just luck. You said that you often dream of a beautiful mermaid as your wife. As far as I know, dreams can’t create things that haven’t been seen or experienced. Have you ever seen a mermaid before?”
Talking about mermaids seemed to improve the prince’s mood a lot. “That’s right, I had the opportunity to see one once, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.”
“It was a year ago when a circus came to our kingdom to perform, and there was a very beautiful mermaid lady in that circus. They came to the palace specifically to perform for us, and that’s when I had the chance to see that her. She not only looked good, but she also had a beautiful voice.”
“Since then, I have fallen in love with this mermaid lady.”
S419: [Did Miss Xihai actually come to this Kingdom before?!]
Bai Lixin’s eyes flickered for a moment, but his expression remained calm, as if he had expected this answer long ago: “I see, so the prince is really sentimental. They came to the palace to perform, and you who were fortunate enough to hear the mermaid’s voice. I’m sure His Majesty, the Queen, and the Royal Magician also had the chance, right?”
Prince: “That’s right, although I selfishly wanted the mermaid’s song to belong only to me, she is the daughter of the sea, belonging to the heavens and the earth. How can I claim her for myself? You seem very curious about this mermaid, do you also like her?”
The prince’s voice suddenly turned cold.
Bai Lixin waved his hand: “I have self-awareness, only you, Your Highness, are worthy of such a mermaid.”
“Hmph, you have some sense.”
Bai Lixin made an excuse to leave halfway, while s419 was screaming wildly in his mind, [Oh, I see now, it must be Miss Xi Hai who is the intruder.]
[She joined the circus because the circus can go to many places, so she can bewitch more people with her voice and make them her puppets. The prince, the king, the queen, and the royal magician are all acting according to Miss Xihai’s commands and plans.]
[But how did you figure it out, Lord host?]
Bai Lixin walked to a corner of the courtyard where no one was present, clutching the ice ball in his hand tightly: “Intuition.”
S419M: [???]
Bai Lixin: [Just kidding, it’s because of the sense of incongruity.]
[If the intruder wants to invade the fairytale world, they would choose a character who is safe enough. But all the clues point to the prince, which is very strange.]
[Although the prince has gained status and position, he is still cursed and suffers mental torment every day, and there is a real threat of death from the curse. Putting myself in their shoes, I would never choose this character if I were the intruder.]
[If it’s not the prince, but all the clues point to the prince, then it means that someone is deliberately providing false information from behind.]
[ I also suspected the king and the queen, but their expressions clearly indicate that they are being manipulated.]
S419M: [What about the royal magician?]
[The royal magician was at the top of my suspect list, because in the beginning, someone followed me for a long time from this kingdom, to the forest and to the seaside city. I recognized that person as someone from this kingdom, under the orders of the royal magician.]
[However, I later ruled him out.]
S419M: [Why?]
Bai Lixin: [Because he is too weak, his weakness is not fake, but truly due to old age and being physically frail. I have observed him for a long time.]
[If I find out that he is an intruder, I will fight him up close, and he won’t have any ability to fight back.]
S419: [But Miss Xihai is different. She is young, healthy, and even has extremely high mental attack powers as well as bewitching abilities.]
[More importantly, Miu Miu, the creator of this world, now recognizes her as a mother. No matter what dangers she faces, Miu Miu will do everything in her power to protect her mother. Previously, Miu Miu got annoyed when you tried to attack the phantom of Miss Xihai on the videotape.]
S419M: [Then isn’t she invincible now? Lord Host, are we thinking too negatively about things? Is it possible that the intruder couldn’t choose a body? They don’t necessarily choose whatever they want, so maybe they had no option and got into the body of the royal magician? 】
Bai Lixin: [That’s why I came here again to verify. In the clue Miss Xihai left behind, the prince became the one who played the role of the intruder, and others like the Royal Magician played the role of the revealer of identities.]
S419: [If you kill the prince to complete the task, you will find out that the task is not completed, and you will become a wanted criminal throughout the kingdom for killing the prince. No matter where you go, you will be watched, and it will be even more difficult to find the real intruder. Moreover, if you skip a step and assume that the Royal Magician is the intruder, the kingdom will still pursue you. And the real intruder is holding Miu Miu, the little girl, as her biggest trump card, waiting for the world to fade quickly and fall into destruction.]
S419 shivered: [Damn, this Is so sinister. How many palace intrigue novels have come up with such cunning schemes? No, Lord Host, I will input all the palace intrigue dramas for you starting from tomorrow, . We must not lose!]
Bai Lixin: […]
Did you roll the dice a bit crooked?
Bai Lixin tore off the ice ball and crushed it, and in the next second, a faint white mist condensed into a humanoid shape in front of Bai Lixin.
In the blink of an eye, the long-lost silver-haired wizard appeared in front of Bai Lixin.
Flipping back another page, but it was blank, with no content.
The writing on the last few pages was fresh, obviously written not long ago.

Perhaps it was due to the dreamlike nature of Miu Miu’s Dreamland, the word “time” had always been in disarray.
When he returned to the seaside city, he had checked the time display in the upper right corner of the taskbar. After the long time skip, the time on the taskbar showed only a night and day had passed.
Using time as a coordinate axis for dreams was not a wise thing to do.
In dreams, people often dream of individual events. Some people can have several chaotic dreams in one night, sometimes dreaming of childhood, sometimes dreaming of adulthood. One moment they are doing one thing, and the next moment they jump to another thing.
Bai Lixin closed the diary and put it back in its original place in the dark.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if there was thick phlegm in his throat, with a rustling sensation in his tone.
He walked slowly to the candles, replacing them with new ones.
The friction sound of the match being lit echoed, and it didn’t take long for the room to be lit up again.
Bai Lixin slowed his breathing and hid his entire body in the darkness, silently observing the movements of the Royal Magician below.

Bai Lixin: [That’s why I came here again to verify. In the clue Miss Xihai left behind, the prince became the one who played the role of the intruder, and others like the Royal Magician played the role of the revealer of identities.]
S419: [If you kill the prince to complete the task, you will find out that the task is not completed, and you will become a wanted criminal throughout the kingdom for killing the prince. No matter where you go, you will be watched, and it will be even more difficult to find the real intruder. Moreover, if you skip a step and assume that the Royal Magician is the intruder, the kingdom will still pursue you. And the real intruder is holding Miu Miu, the little girl, as her biggest trump card, waiting for the world to fade quickly and fall into destruction.]
S419 shivered: [Damn, this Is so sinister. How many palace intrigue novels have come up with such cunning schemes? No, Lord Host, I will input all the palace intrigue dramas for you starting from tomorrow, . We must not lose!]
Bai Lixin: […]
Did you roll the dice a bit crooked?
Bai Lixin tore off the ice ball and crushed it, and in the next second, a faint white mist condensed into a humanoid shape in front of Bai Lixin.
In the blink of an eye, the long-lost silver-haired wizard appeared in front of Bai Lixin.
