Some small details did not need to be confirmed one by one, so Xu Huo did not ask her what props she had arranged, but Yan Jiayu took the initiative to tell her, "I have a trading prop that can be bartered, so I mixed it in with the performance props for the girl."
The servant helped me put it in the castle and built another B-level prop. If I'm lucky, I might be able to replace it with a prop of the same level."
Things that belong to the castle cannot be taken out, but it does not seem illegal to put things into the castle.
"Are you going to keep that prop of yours after the exchange?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.
"Of course," Yan Jiayu said: "The premise of bartering is equal exchange. If the exchange is successful, it is not considered theft. Unfortunately, I don't know which room has the props, so I had to ask the maid to put them near the banquet hall.
."
"How long will this prop take effect?" Xu Huo asked.
Yan Jiayu nodded and said matter-of-factly: "When bartering, of course you have to bargain. Sometimes what you get in exchange may not be props, but may be ore of comparable value."
"But the props used for exchange are usually things I can't use, so I won't lose money."
"Sometimes there are unexpected surprises."
The banquet started in the evening. The nobles and Gem City officials who had not known where they lived before arrived at the castle by land. There was a lot of excitement and joy under the bright lights. The king, who was "sad and sick" because of the theft of the gem, finally showed his face.
He was a middle-aged man who looked particularly melancholy. Even with a smile, people could tell that he was in a low mood. Guests who came up to greet him always wanted to comfort him with a word or two.
Not long after, the queen also appeared, accompanied by her maid Xiao Si. The queen was very beautiful. When she appeared, everyone in the banquet hall focused on her, but she just nodded slightly to everyone and walked to the king.
, took his arm and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his eyebrows, "Today's guests are all here for us, don't make them feel rude."
The king looked at her with a dependent look in his eyes, and after a brief speech, announced the start of the banquet.
This kind of banquet was mainly about dancing and chatting. After a few dances, Lady Liya stood up and announced that performers from other places had been invited for the king and queen.
"It is said that their performance is superb, better than any circus performance that came to Gem City before."
"I've seen a lot of circuses," an aristocratic man answered. "If it's not novel enough, it's not worth giving up the opportunity to dance and standing here dryly."
The guests laughed together, and Madam Liya covered her lips with a small fan and laughed. Then she turned her attention to the queen standing in front, bowed and saluted, "The most noble person in the castle, can you start the performance?"
The queen looked at the king, who raised his hand, and Lady Liya turned around again, put away the folding fan and tapped her palm lightly.
Colorful bubbles flew out from a corner of the banquet hall and occupied the entire hall in an instant. The dreamy bubbles with flowing colors and floating in the air for a long time that were not easy to burst occupied everyone's eyes. Yan Jiayu was casually wearing a doll suit.
Grabbing a large bubble, he jumped into the banquet hall.
This was a warm-up for the opening. Seeing her floating slightly as if running in the air, many women cast curious glances, and Yan Jiayu extended his hand to a young woman nearby.
"Me?" The other party was slightly surprised, but still stretched out her hand under the gaze of everyone. The bubbles originally in Yan Jiayu's hand flew to her body, bursting with a slight "pop" sound, and splashed away.
The bubbles seemed to be filled with glare, making people unable to help but close their eyes. In the next second, the bubbles closed again, enveloping the young aristocratic woman in them, and then floated gently.
The distance between the bubble and the ground was not far, so it would not make people feel insecure. With the push of Yan Jiayu, the woman slowly floated out. During the process, many people reached out to touch the bubble.
"It really won't break, it's amazing!"
"This is magic!"
The bubble flew in front of the king and queen before touching the ground. As the bubble burst, the noble woman bowed to the two in a dim light and retreated.
After performing two more small shows to warm up, Yan Jiayu slowly exited the banquet hall and was replaced by Xu Huo, who came wearing a mask.
At this time, the bubbles in the banquet hall slowly burst. In the flickering light from time to time, Xu Huo changed his position and said: "When I was a child, I sleepwalked to other countries. There were huge trees that could climb the clouds, and the mountains and plains were full of trees.
It has delicious fruits that are bigger than a human head, magical plant seeds that can grow taller than humans overnight, animals that can talk, and will actively help humans when they encounter difficulties, and exchange fruits they pick from the mountains.
Daily food that humans eat.”
With the cooperation of Yan Jiayu, several mutated plants grew rapidly along the walls of the banquet hall, growing up, blooming, and quickly withering in just a few breaths.
Xu Huo's words continued, "The sky there is often colorful. When the sun is shining, the sky is red, when there is a breeze and light rain, the sky is green, and when there is thunder and lightning, the sky will turn purple. I walked under such a sky.
For three days and three nights, the road under my feet was sometimes covered with grass and sometimes covered with frost. Sometimes I could build a snowman on the left, and it was a good time for farming on the right..."
"Such a magical place kept me coming back. I originally planned to live there for a long time, but soon a mysterious giant came out. He told me that it was not my hometown and asked me to leave as soon as possible."
"I asked him to tell me how to enter this mysterious place again. The giant just said that everyone can only go there once in a lifetime. I have already been there, so I can never re-enter it."
The audience in the banquet hall felt a little sorry for Xu Huo's disappointed tone, but they quickly cheered up, because he said: "But the giant took pity on me as a child, so he taught me three magic tricks, one is flying."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others moved to the door of the banquet hall, and at the same time slowly rose into the air, gradually climbing towards the dome of this magnificent palace.
Amid exclamations, he took the props he borrowed from Yan Jiayu and blew in the direction of the banquet hall. A faint white mist rolled out of the small trumpet and quickly covered the entire banquet hall, making everyone feel as if they were in the banquet hall.
Between the clouds.
"I want to fly too! I want to fly too!"
With the previous floating bubbles, some girls couldn't help but come forward. Xu Huo did not come down. Instead, he wrapped the skirts of the two girls with his cloak from the air. He raised his hand and pulled them in.
in the air.
The two of them were floating lightly in the air, and could change their postures and movements at will, as if they could really fly freely. During this period, a girl reached out to touch them. Unexpectedly, the moment they caught them, they were also taken up, but
Only a few inches off the ground.
Several girls held hands in the banquet hall, flying like elves. This scene received warm applause.
