"Let go of me, let go of me," Polly screamed."
I didn't touch you," Dugray said.As soon as their heads emerged from the pool, they found themselves back in the woods between worlds, in a sunny silence.Having just left that rotten, desolate place, the woods seemed to be greener, warmer, and more peaceful than before.I think they would forget who they were and where they came from, and then lie down and listen to the trees growing, dimly enjoying their happiness.However, they had to try to keep their heads above water this time, for as soon as they reached the meadow, they realized that it was not just the two of them, but also the queen, or the witch, whatever you call her, had come with them.She was still clutching Polly's hair, no wonder Polly was yelling "let go of me".By the way, this also fully proves another function of the ring, which Uncle Andrew did not tell Dugray, and even he himself did not know that in order to go from one world to another with the ring, he did not need to put on or touch the ring himself, but only touched someone who could touch the ring.This point is like a magnet.As everyone knows, if you pick up a pin with a magnet, the other pins that touch it will also be sucked up.Now, in the woods, Queen Janetis has completely changed.Her beauty was gone, and her face was paler than before.She bent over as if she was having trouble breathing, and the air here suffocated her.Now, the two children are not afraid of her at all."
Let go, let go of my hair, what do you want to do," Polly said."
Tell me to let go of her hair," said Diggray.Immediately, the two children turned around and scuffled with her.In this environment, the children were stronger than her, and soon, she had to let go of her hand, panting and swaying backwards, her eyes showing fear."
Hurry up, Diggray changed the ring and jumped into the waterhole home," Polly said."
Help, save me, God, take me, please don't leave me in this horrible place, I'll die."
The witch staggered after them, shouting feebly."
It's a reason to be a ruler, just like you kill so many people in your world.Digre, hurry up. ”Polly said indignantly.By this time they had already put on the green rings, however, "what are we doing here," said Diggray, "What a curse we are doing," and he could not help but feel a trace of pity for Queen Janetis."
Don't be a fool, she's pretending to be nine times out of ten, quick," Polly said.Subsequently, both children jumped into the waterhole home."
Thanks to the marking."
Polly thought.But as they were jumping down, Degree suddenly felt his ears pinched by two big cold fingers.Then they sank, and our world began to appear before their eyes.But the fingers that grabbed his ears grew stronger and stronger.Needless to say, the witch's power was slowly recovering, and no matter how much Digray kicked and struck, it was useless.They soon appeared in Uncle Andrew's study.Uncle Andrew looked in amazement at the strange creatures that Diggray had brought back to him from the other world.It was understandable that he was so surprised, for Diggray and Polly were also stunned.The witch is standing in our world at this time, and her body is not weak at all.However, compared to the ordinary things around her, it really made people gasp.In Charn, she was a surprise, and in London she was terrifying.At the very least, they still haven't figured out how tall she really is."
She's not human at all."
Digray looked at her and thought.He may have been right, for it had been said that Charn's royal family had the blood of giants, but her height paled in comparison to her beauty, cruelty, and savagery.Moreover, she seemed to have ten times more energy than most people on the streets of London.Uncle Andrew was looking at her hunched over and rubbing his hands together.He was very frightened, because in front of the witch, he himself was like an insignificant little shrimp.Also, as Polly later said, he has some resemblance to witches in terms of expressions, which is an expression that only evil magicians have, which is the "mark" that Jandeis says she can't find on Diggray's face.Of course, it's also good to see these two people standing together: you won't be afraid of Uncle Andrew anymore, just as you don't fear earthworms when you see rattlesnakes, and you don't fear cows when you see mad cows."
Phew, he's a magician at all, she's a real magician."
Digray thought to himself.Uncle Andrew kept bowing and rubbing his hands, and he wanted to politely say a few pleasantries, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.This so-called "experiment" with the ring was even more successful than he expected.He's studied magic for so many years, and he's always been able to put the danger on someone else, and nothing like this has ever happened.At this moment, Queen Janetis spoke, and although her voice was not loud, it made the whole room tremble."
Which magician summoned me into this world" "Ahhh"Madame, that's me.I beg your pardon for the offense of these naughty children.I didn't mean to, I swear to you "It's you" The Queen's voice grew more and more terrifying.So saying, she stepped forward, grabbed Uncle Andrew's hair, and pulled his head back so that his face was facing her own, and began to study his face as carefully as she had studied Digray in the palace of Charn.Uncle Andrew kept blinking his eyes and licking his lips vigorously, nervous.Eventually, the queen let go of her hand, and Uncle Andrew staggered backwards, hitting his head against the wall."
I see, you're a different kind of magician.Dog, don't curl up like you're talking to, get up.I bet you don't have the slightest bit of royal blood in you.How do you know how to use magic," she said contemptuously."
Well, to be precise, I may really not have royal blood, not an orthodox royal family.However, the Kantley family is an old family in Dorset, ma'am. ”Uncle Andrew said tremblingly."
Quiet, I know, you're a little magician who can't live without a magic book, a clingy, boastful little magician, and you don't have a real magic in your heart or blood.In our world, magicians like you went extinct a thousand years ago.But now I allow you to be my servant. ”The queen said."
It's a great honour to be able to serve you, and it's a pleasure to be able to do it.What I'm saying is true. ”"Shut up, you're too rambling.You need to listen to your first task clearly.I think it's a big city, and you immediately try to get me a carriage or a flying carpet or a trained dragon, or whatever else your royal nobles use here.Then, take me to a place where I can find clothing, accessories, and servants that match my identity.Starting tomorrow, I'm going to set out to conquer this world. ”"I'll go find a rental carriage right away."
Uncle Andrew gasped.As soon as he reached the door, the witch spoke again: "Stand and know that my eyes penetrate the walls and penetrate the human heart.No matter where you go, you won't be able to escape my eyes, so don't try to play any tricks on me.As soon as the thought of disobedience arises to you, I will immediately curse you, and wherever you sit, it will be as hot as red-hot iron; Whenever you're lying in bed, there's an invisible block of ice underneath your feet.You're good to go. ”The old fellow left in a gray manner like a dog with a tail between his legs.What the children were most worried about was that Jendice would ask them about what had happened in the woods.However, she didn't mention it at all, and she didn't even talk about it later.I suppose as Diggray thought, that peaceful place would not leave any trace in her heart, and she would not remember it even if you brought her there often, or even if you kept her there.Although she was now alone with the children, she didn't care about them at all, just as she hadn't paid any attention to Polly when she was in Charn, and it was the same until the end.Because at that time, she only wanted to use Diggre.She now has Uncle Andrew, so she neglects Digray.I think that's the case with most witches, they are only interested in people and things that can be exploited, very utilitarian.For a while, the house was very quiet.However, Jandis gradually became a little uncontrollable, as evidenced by the way she slapped her foot on the floor."
What the hell is this old idiot doing, I should have brought a whip."
After a while, she seemed to be talking to herself.Then, without even looking at the children, she rushed out to find Uncle Andrew."
Whew," Polly let out a long sigh of relief, "it's too late, I have to go home, or I'll be punished." ”"Then come back as soon as possible, we have to make a perfect plan.It's terrible to get her here. ”Diggray said."
All these troubles are caused by your uncle's magic, and it is his own business."
Polly said."
But you're going to be back anyway, you're unlucky, you're not going to leave me alone with these troubles," Dugray complained."
I'm going home from the tunnel, that's the fastest.If you want me back, shouldn't you say sorry to me?"
Polly said coldly."
I'm sorry I did something wrong, wouldn't it be like a girl to apologize like that," Dugray exclaimed."
yes, you didn't do anything.""
It's just that in that statue hall," said Polly, mockingly, almost broke my wrist like a cowardly thug, and struck the bell with a little hammer like a fool; Just in the woods, turn around before you even jump into a waterhole so she can catch you.That's all. ”"Ah," said Dugray, surprised, "well, I was wrong, I feel very guilty about what happened in the statue hall.I've said I'm sorry by now, you should be back, otherwise, it's like pushing me into a horrible abyss. ”"Only Mr.
Kantley will sit in a hot chair, only his bed will have ice, I don't think you need to worry, do you?"
My biggest fear was that if the female monster broke into my mother's room, she would be scared to death. ”Diggray said."
Ah, I see."
Polly said in an unusual voice, "Alright, let's call our operation the Goddess of Peace."
I'll be back, if I can.But I have to go now. ”With that, she slipped out of the small door and into the darkness of the tunnel rafters, a place that had been adventurous and exciting just a few hours ago, but now seemed so unremarkable.Now, we have to go back to Uncle Andrew.As he staggered down the attic, his fragile old heart fluttered, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.Later, he went downstairs to his bedroom and locked himself inside.When he got to the bedroom, the first thing he did was to find a wine bottle and a glass from the closet, which he always hid for fear of being discovered by Aunt Letty.Then he poured himself a full glass of pungent adult wine, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he let out a long sigh of relief."
Oh, I'm scared to death at this age, it's disgusting to be able to happen to such a thing," he muttered to himself.After another big drink, he began to change his clothes.I still remember clothes like this, maybe you've never seen them.First, he wore a shiny, stiff collar that would keep your chin up, and then a vest embroidered with a floral pattern and a gold bracelet on the front.Then he put on his best gown, which he wore only for weddings and funerals, took out his best top hat and dusted it, and took a flower from the vase that Aunt Letty had placed on the dresser, and put it in the buttonhole.Then, from the small drawer on the left, he took out a very fine handkerchief that is now hard to buy and sprinkled a few drops of perfume on it.Finally, after putting on his glasses with a thick black ribbon, he began to admire himself in front of the mirror.Children are sometimes silly, and adults are occasionally silly.That's when Uncle Andrew started to make fools.He soon got carried away, forgetting the fright he had just received at the witch, and even began to wonder about her beauty, and kept muttering to himself, "A beautiful lady, sir; A beautiful lady, one. ”He felt that this "superb stunner" had been summoned from the unknowable world by magic himself, completely forgetting that the children had found it."
Andrew, handsome lad.You're good-looking, well-maintained, and you don't know how old you are, my sir. ”He looked in the mirror and reveled.Lo and behold, probably because of those two glasses of wine and a beautiful dress, the old stupid donkey began to fantasize that the witch would fall in love with him.All in all, he is as vain as a peacock, which is why he becomes a magician.He locked the door and went downstairs, and told the maid to call a two-wheeled carriage and a two-seater carriage to come, and in those days there were many servants for everyone.Then, as he had hoped, he saw Aunt Letty in the drawing-room, where she was kneeling on a mat spread next to the window to mend it."
Ah, my dear Ladia, I'm going out of the house, and there's a good old lady who always mispronounces the girl, and calls the girl an old lady, can you lend me five pounds or something," said Uncle Andrew."
Don't borrow, dear Andrew.I've told you countless times that I'm not going to lend you money. ”Aunt Letty spoke in a calm, firm tone without raising her head."
Dear Gu Niang, please don't make a mess.It's really a big deal.If you don't lend it to me, I'll be in a very awkward position," said Uncle Andrew."
I've always wondered, Andrew, that you don't blush from borrowing money from me."
Aunt Letty looked straight at him and said.This sentence contains a boring old story in the adult world.At that time, Uncle Andrew, in the name of "managing the property for dear Letty", took his aunt's money, drank brandy, smoked cigars, spent his days idle, and owed a lot of debtsAunt Letty used to pay his debts for him, so that Letty was poorer now than she was thirty years ago."
Dear Gu Niang, you don't know, I have to entertain a guest today, there will be some unexpected expenses, don't let me worry, lend it to me," said Uncle Andrew."

Who are you going to entertain, Andrew," Aunt Letty asked."
Oh, there's a distinguished guest.""
Something, you still haven't convinced me, honorable guest."
Aunt Letty said.At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed open, and Aunt Letty quickly turned around, and she was surprised to see a magnanim in gorgeous clothes, with bare arms and piercing eyes, standing in the doorway.i0t1706231537:
