She is not an investigator.

The rabbit soldier looked around and, after noticing that no one was around, whispered something.

“You can bribe me.”

What?! This is supposed to be a fairytale world with this art style, yet the rabbit guard actually said something like that.

That's really going too far.

"Deal?~"

The bizarre stage play – The Arrogant Witch and the Mysterious Kingdom: Chapter Fourteen, Let's duel!

"Hmph?~"

The cheerful Red Duchess arrived at the castle, accompanied by the Spade Lady, whose face was as black as her clothes.

Lady Spade couldn't understand why the Red Duchess was so happy, just as the Red Duchess couldn't understand why Lady Spade couldn't understand her.

"Look! A new rabbit!"

The excited Red Duchess once again spotted a little armored rabbit dozing off at the entrance of the castle's hall.

Perhaps they should be called rabbit soldiers? Whatever, Igris never cares about that anyway.

“I told you… something’s not right here. Can’t you listen to me and be careful?”

Igris turned her head and blinked her big eyes innocently.

"Good heavens, Lady Spade, you're wronging me. Look here, a magnificent castle. If I hadn't listened to your advice, I should be sitting on the throne in this castle now, experiencing what it's like to be a ruler."

Igris was deeply immersed in the role, which also shows that she was indeed suffocating in the castle.

So no one can ever stop her from doing whatever she wants at a time like this.

Nobody will do!

"I won't play along with your nonsense..."

The administrator's face practically screamed disdain; she was just short of pointing at Igris and saying, "I don't know you."

But in a castle full of rabbits, who would even glance at the two of them?

"Hey! Rabbit soldier."

With her hands behind her back, Igris approached the dozing rabbit soldier and shouted, instantly waking the poor rabbit and making it clutch its helmet.

"Red Duchess! Why are you here? As long as I'm here, you can forget about going in and taking the princess away!"

The rabbit soldier stood in front of the gate, resolutely carrying out his mission.

And behind the door it guards, there should be the legendary princess of this castle.

"Rabbit soldier! I'm going to defeat you and kidnap the princess! Are you ready for the challenge?"

Igris stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite fierce, as she spoke to the little rabbit in front of her.

The administrator really wanted to pretend she didn't know her and just assume Igris was dead.

"Hmph... then let's have a duel!"

The rabbit soldier also shouted, accompanied by a chant that sounded like a spell, and the surrounding area suddenly changed drastically.

"This is…"

Igris looked at her hands with some surprise. She could feel a visible blockage in her movements, as well as a slight deviation.

"These are the rules of the Kingdom of Wonders: our battles must be conducted fairly and justly in a dueling environment!"

The rabbit soldier stood opposite Igris, adjusted his helmet, and shouted excitedly.

"As an example! This is my turn!"

Several invisible cards suddenly appeared in front of the rabbit, which snorted coldly and charged towards Igris while explaining the rules.

"In a duel, all the attacks we can make will be turned into cards. Each card will have a cost point based on its power. Each person will have three cost points at the start of each turn."

Then, it rammed into Igris, but was bounced back in mid-air and crashed to the ground.

"An attack like this cannot be launched in a duel environment. We must play cards to obtain the corresponding effect... This is my turn! Since I go first, the cards I play will only take effect in the next turn."

The rabbit soldier stood up straight and suddenly raised his helmet.

"I've used it! Remove Helmet! Consume all points to deal you damage equal to three times the points! Because of the first-strike advantage, the damage I deal will activate at the start of the next turn! Your turn."

The rabbit soldier's turn ended, and it served as an instruction manual, teaching the incredible rules of this unique game that belonged only to the Incredible Kingdom.

"It feels like a ridiculous joke..."

The administrator girl has somehow also entered the duel environment, but she seems unable to team up with Igris for a righteous two-on-one battle, so now…

"My turn!"

With an excited expression, Igris actually shouted out the strange line, and as the card in front of her was unfolded, a long red bar marked with numbers appeared above her head.

"That's your health. If your health reaches zero, you will lose this battle."

Igris looked thoughtfully at her own 30 health points, then at the rabbit soldier's 10 health points, and suddenly felt that this rule was very unfair.

Even so, she must win this battle!

The rabbit soldier will deal a full nine points of damage to her in the next round. If the rabbit soldier has a second "Remove Helmet" card in his hand, he will deal eighteen points of damage, and Igris's health will instantly become as fragile as a candle in the wind!

嗏

"I use! Ambush! Costs zero points, deals three damage. If it's the first card used each turn, it deals double damage!"

As a card in front of Igris vanished in the form of a star, Igris instantly drew her pistol and pulled the trigger on the rabbit in front of her.

boom--!

The bullet hit the light screen in front of the rabbit precisely, and the rabbit's health instantly dropped to four points!

"It's a card that costs zero points! Damn it!"

The rabbit's life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, but Igris's combo attack was far from over.

"I use Ignite! It consumes a small amount of energy, dealing three points of damage to myself, but any damage I deal afterward will deal an additional two points of damage!"

Another card disappeared, and Igris's health bar dropped sharply, but then instantly rose back up.

Igris looked at the rabbit in front of her with some confusion, and the rabbit soldier explained in a very cooperative manner.

"This is your dueling trait! When you take damage from fire, you recover an equal amount of health! What a powerful force!"

Igris nodded in relief, then called out again.

"I use! Consecutive Slashes! Consumes two points, deals three points of damage, repeats four times! Due to the ignition effect bonus, I will deal a total of twenty points of damage to you!"

The card disappeared again, and Igris's straight sword instantly appeared in her hand. She quickly rushed towards the rabbit soldier in front of her, the blade carrying flames. She slashed four times in a row, completely emptying the rabbit soldier's health bar.

"No—" [Group Chat: Different Flags Mixed with 2 Mistakes!]

The rabbit soldier's health bar shattered with a crash, and the surrounding environment returned to the castle. The rabbit soldier lay motionless on the ground.

"You win, you wretched Red Duchess! I'll definitely beat you next time!"

Even lying on the ground, the rabbit soldier didn't forget to utter one more harsh word, although it seemed to have no intention of stopping Igris at all.

"Alright! Lady Spade, let's continue! We must take the princess away today!"

The female administrator covered her face in embarrassment, barely suppressing the urge to rush over and kick Igris, and followed in her footsteps.

As the door was pushed open, a long red carpet appeared before the two of them, stretching out to a huge, luxurious crystal coffin.

The sunlight streaming through the window fell on the crystal coffin, making it exceptionally bright and sparkling. The girl lying inside the crystal coffin was also incredibly beautiful, as if created by a god.

Like Igris.

"Is that the princess?"

Igris touched her chin, and surprisingly, at this moment, she began to consider whether she really should approach the coffin.

Although this place is indeed a dream, and Igris loves the fairytale-like atmosphere, just as the caretaker kept reminding her, she could also sense that something was amiss.

She may find pleasure in danger, but that doesn't mean she would actually recklessly walk directly into danger.

The key to this castle is most likely the princess in front of us, so whether to continue foolishly moving forward is the biggest question we need to consider.

"Ms. Spade, what do you think?"

Igris passed the question to the building manager.

"...You're already here, why are you asking me? Anyway, no matter what trouble you cause, I can't really just ignore you."

The administrator sighed, awkwardly turned her head away, but still said the same thing.

Seeing this, Igris no longer hesitated and slowly walked onto the red carpet toward the glittering crystal coffin.

But just then! A loud crash suddenly came from above, and a huge glass chandelier fell not far in front of Igris and shattered into pieces.

And on that chandelier was a huge white rabbit.

Compared to the cute and adorable rabbit image, it looks a bit fierce, but it still wears armor similar to those rabbits, just in a different style.

"Red Duchess! I never expected you to come here. Come on! For the sake of the princess, I won't let you pass so easily!"

The giant rabbit shouted with great passion and suddenly drew a curved knife that was almost longer than Igris, pointing it at Igris and the caretaker.

"Is the fight about to begin?"

Igris and the administrator had anticipated this, and as they drew their weapons, the giant rabbit in front of them shouted in response.

"duel!"

In an instant, the surrounding area changed again, and the two found themselves in a duel environment, facing a giant rabbit.

"It was just playing cards..."

Seeing its menacing appearance, Igris thought it was really going to come and kill someone.

"I went first! Hmph, since you two are so small, I'll allow you two to come at me together so I don't bully you!"

The giant rabbit said this.

This rabbit is actually quite nice.

"How about it, Ms. Spade? Want me to teach you how to play?"

In response to Igris's teasing question, the administrator rolled her eyes dramatically.
