Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

She approached the strange man from behind, gently stroked his oddly shaped head, and casually slashed his neck with her dagger!

Luckily, there weren't even any stools in the cave, so the strange man sat on the ground; otherwise, the princess wouldn't have been able to stand on her tiptoes high enough.

An invisible spiritual force attached itself to the dagger, which was already capable of cutting through iron like mud. The monster with the Black Iron 5-star body was also cut in half from the neck with a single slash.

Blood gushed out like a waterfall, even spraying onto the ceiling, and then fell on the princess, as if she were bathed in blood rain!

The spiritual energy collected from thousands upon thousands of people transformed into immense spiritual power and flowed into the princess's forehead. In an instant, it elevated her to the peak of Black Iron 5-star, just one step away from advancing to Bronze!

……

The princess returned to the palace, received the crown from her father, and was crowned queen.

Zhao Hao asked the old king for the key, and the old king pointed to his queen daughter.

The princess had "evolved" into a queen, and she was indeed different. Although she was still short and had an oval face, her demeanor had become very composed and profound. Her eyes were like closed windows, no longer revealing any emotion.

Indeed, people often mature in a very short time.

And that hairstyle! Did they finally change hairstylists? If you ask me, any hairstylist who can create a hairstyle like that should just be beheaded.

The queen, whose demeanor and hairstyle had changed, glanced at Zhao Hao and said, "Come with me."

Zhao Hao followed the Queen for a long time without anyone by his side. After walking for a long time, they arrived at a magnificent bedroom with a large bed that was almost as spacious as a dormitory bed.

There's also a dressing table and mirror on the side, which are quite luxurious.

At this moment, Zhao Hao felt something was wrong. This place seems to be...

Then the queen gently pulled off her robe, revealing a harmonious mosaic of white light to Zhao Hao.

She was wearing a strange pendant necklace around her neck.

"Want it? Come and take it yourself!"

"Also, my name is Jane..."

Chapter 293 Sleeping Through the Game?

Zhao Hao sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing and wiped himself down, not understanding how he, a gentleman, had fallen to such a state.

Queen Jane, who had been limp and unconscious, appeared silently behind him. One sweaty arm wrapped around Zhao Hao's neck, and the other hand held the dagger Zhao Hao had given her, pressing it against his neck.

The dagger scraped and slashed across Zhao Hao's stubble...

"You better watch out! If I'm in a bad mood one day, I might just stab you like this!" She was still panting as she spoke, which really lacked any real intimidation.

Moreover, Zhao Hao's current armor is no longer something that this sharp dagger can damage.

This thing can't break through defenses at all; it's barely enough to shave.

"Looks like you still have energy! My apologies for not being a better host! Take this!"

Zhao Hao turned around and tackled him to the ground...

Zhao Hao didn't get a chance to rest until dawn.

The two finally started chatting and getting to know each other.

Queen Jane's full name is Jane Temeria, and the country is called the Kingdom of Temeria. It is said to have a relatively short history, less than three hundred years since its founding by its ancestors.

Jane was just an ordinary princess from a small country. Normally, she should have married a nobleman or knight, and ideally, a prince.

Jane leaned against Zhao Hao and whispered, "My governess often read me chivalric romances and aristocratic histories. I thought I could be like those characters in the novels... You know what? I've always been fascinated by those stories since I was little. I hoped a prince charming would come and rescue me from my troubles. But you tell me I have to rely on myself!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao exclaimed: "What's wrong with relying on yourself? Relying on yourself... wait, you're talking about the secret history of the nobility? Bring it here so I can critique it!"

Zhao Hao took the thick book, flipped through it for a while, and his expression changed: "Your governess has been reading this kind of book to you since you were little. This is even more imperial than the one I wrote about my royal uncle!"

The descriptions are incredibly detailed, capturing everything from the atmosphere and environment to the dialogue and onomatopoeia...

Uh, I'm too embarrassed to say it, even if I did, it would all be *.

Wow, this really starts from a young age! You guys are making such progress!

"By the way," Zhao Hao asked, "Jian, how old are you?"

"You'll be 17 in three months, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I'll turn myself in as soon as I get out. Let the law punish me!"

And so, Zhao Hao became the Prince of the Kingdom of Temuria in the North.

What surprised him even more was that the next day he discovered that he had only "slept" and his Thirteen Iron Wedding Dress Divine Skill had actually broken through to the second level!

Is something not quite right here?

I... I don't want to work hard anymore?!

……

Zhao Hao rode away on a crane, after all, the important business hadn't even started yet.

Although Queen Jane was harsh in her words, she still had tears in her eyes when she waved goodbye.

Zhao Hao obtained the map, but only the northern region was relatively detailed, especially the northern mountainous area, where several countries and towns were clearly marked. However, beyond 500 kilometers, only the approximate locations of some major cities remained.

The mountains and rivers are marked very simply and can only be used as a reference; they cannot be examined too closely.

However, before leaving, Jian had inquired with the ministers on Zhao Hao's behalf, and they said that a small country nearby was causing trouble.

It is said that the king has not been able to leave behind an heir for many years, and is now spending all his wealth and offering huge rewards for help. Many strange and unusual people have gone to try to make a living.

Zhao Hao wanted to go and see what was going on.

After flying for half a day, Zhao Hao lowered his altitude, intending to find a place to eat. But before he even landed, he discovered people below.

Tiamat Ciro was an Italian folklorist who was not yet forty years old and was doing very poorly, barely making ends meet.

However, he was not an ordinary person. Because of his years of research on various ancient folk customs, he accidentally came into contact with the other world a few years ago.

Although he had never had any direct contact or in-depth understanding of such people, he knew that there were some "extraordinary people" in the world.

If he weren't so poor, forced to rely on his research to scam unsuspecting people for food and drink, he would have loved to pursue that amazing world. To chase his dreams!

However, if you don't have enough to eat, all of this is in vain.

Just two days ago, he was taking a nap when he suddenly heard a strange voice in his ear, a voice with an archaic, aria-like quality, almost like singing. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an old-fashioned farm.

He was originally quite calm under pressure, and thanks to his eloquence, good looks, and charming personality, he had a very pleasant conversation with the farm owner.

The woman, in her thirties and already showing signs of aging, dressed in drab clothes, was amused by him and laughed heartily, offering him some potatoes or something similar. Perhaps she was also offering him a nice place to sleep…

However, halfway through the meal, not to mention going to sleep afterwards, the burly farmer suddenly appeared! Wielding a pitchfork, he chased Xiluo for three kilometers!

Although he was ultimately spared from being impaled by the forked leg thanks to his long legs, he still got lost in the wild.

After being hungry all day, they were targeted by several hungry wolves.

Those three hungry wolves seemed to possess intelligence; their eyes were unlike those of ordinary wild beasts. It's just that the three of them couldn't climb trees, otherwise Xiluo would already be a pile of dung.

Trapped in the tree all day, Ciro clung to the trunk, weeping and singing in an operatic aria: "Ah, to be or not to be, that is the question! God, I give you this question, please answer me! If possible, at least let me eat my fill first..."

Zhao Hao sat on the crane, hovering at the height of the treetop, looking at the guy who was hugging the tree branch with his eyes closed, crying and muttering to himself.

At this point, even the cranes were puzzled: "Is this person sick?"

Zhao Hao nodded: "It seems so. Let's not disturb him, let's go."

Nasiro was on the verge of collapse when he suddenly heard someone speaking above him. Looking up, he saw a human and a crane craning their necks, looking at him with eyes full of concern for someone with intellectual disabilities.

"Oh God! Is this your answer? Thank you, thank you!"

Zhao Hao scoffed, "You can wait for your God to answer you. I'm leaving, bye-bye~"

Seeing the crane flap its wings and fly more than ten meters away, Xiluo panicked.

"Oh no, hero, warrior! You are my God, don't abandon me~~~ (sung)"

Zhao Hao: That flattery was really satisfying. Someone actually sang a song while flattering!

At this moment, the three wolves under the tree, seeing a crane more than two meters long flying above their heads, realized the situation was bad and crawled away on the ground.

It can only be said that some animals in this world are truly extraordinary.

This wolf has such keen insight; it's much smarter than many brainless villains!

……

"Oh, Mr. Zhao Hao, thank you, this is so delicious, can I have some more?" Xiluo wolfed down the various foods.

After receiving Zhao Hao's approval, he even forced the food into his mouth.

This is because he was starving. After all, even though he was down on his luck before, he could still manage to get a meal by talking a few words in the civilized world.

I've never gone almost three days without food before, especially when I was cornered in a tree by three wolves and was practically waiting to die.

Orange: That's strange. Where are my leftovers from yesterday? I don't remember throwing them away. How come they're all gone?

"So, you're from the outer world? An Italian?"

"Yes, sir. I am a folklore expert, an expert!"

"Are you familiar with fairy tales? The earliest kind."

"I know it by heart! I know it so well! That's exactly my forte! I can tell you the origin of a three-hundred-year-old fairy tale!"

Looking at Xiluo, Zhao Hao thought, "Good heavens, he looks like a complete conman!"

Chapter 294 The Pentagram: The Magical Doe

"What? We're too late! The king has already cured his infertility? How is that possible?! We've come all this way..." Siro questioned the soldier in surprise.

Zhao Hao ultimately brought Xiluo along, after all, they were fellow countrymen from the surface world, and he mainly wanted to see how this strange realm pulled ordinary people in.

However, upon arriving at the capital of this small country, they learned that the king no longer recruited extraordinary individuals, but instead sought out brave warriors.

What a waste of Zhao Hao's attire as an Eastern sage!

Faced with Xiluo's questioning, the soldier immediately became indignant, gripping his sword hilt and stepping forward: "How is it impossible? Are you here to cause trouble?"

"No, no, no..." Xiluo waved his hands repeatedly and hid behind Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao tapped his staff lightly, activating his mental abilities. Coupled with his already high charisma, the arrogant soldier's attitude immediately softened.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The soldier bowed slightly.

"I would like to ask, what is the situation with His Majesty the King? Why has he suddenly switched to recruiting warriors?"
