Chapter 14 Sir Rabbi
To be exact, it was a little rabbit in a gentleman’s dress.
In other words, it should be called Sir Rabbit.
Less than half a meter high, the hair is as white as satin like snow, the inner surface of the long pink rabbit ears are decorated with soft earrings, the eyes are like pigeon blood colored gems set on a sprouting head, the length of the rabbit’s ears accounts for almost half of its entire body;
Putting aside the slightly fantastical earrings, this creature can cause a young girl scream out excitedly to the ends of the earth at how cute this rabbit was.
If he had changed the situation or changed the venue, Angel believed that he would liked the rabbit as well, but in this unknown space, his vigilance had reached its peak, and he was not in the mood to care whether the rabbit was cute or not.
His attention was largely focused on the oddities of Sir Rabbit himself.
The biggest difference between Sir Rabbit and a normal pet rabbit is the way it is dressed up.
It didn’t wear just a suit, but had a lace-rimmed tuxedo with red square lines, a high black gentleman’s top hat between its big ears, along with a badge of a smiling face on the brim, and most notably on its face, it had a very small golden monocle to complete this cute Sir Rabbit, to bring a bit more of a gentlemanly temperament.
In addition, other most important point that Angel saw was that Sir Rabbit was not sitting in the armchair at all, as he had previously guessed, but was suspended on the table, staring motionless at a thick purple book on the table.
Angel flew a few leisurely circles next to Sir Rabbit and found that he, like the other creatures, turned a blind eye to him.
It can also be possible that Sir Rabbit was so fascinated by the book that he did not take notice of any unexpected visitors.
Angel wandered around the hall for a another while, even more curious about this world.
Is this really a parallel world?
Did he cross to it?
Angel could not come up with a plausible explanation, and most importantly, he was a little uncertain whether he had passed his wizard’s talent test or not.
Just as Angel was at his wit’s end, a flash of light came through into his mind.

The light came unexpectedly, and Angel even felt that it did not originate from his mind, but from another mysterious person which was talking to him through his mind.
Go back to the storeroom, it told him.
Yes, the meaning of this light was to return to the storeroom through which he first crossed.
Go back now?
Angel, without pause, did not hesitate to accept this message from the light.
Even if he didn’t know where the light comes from, he instinctively believed it.
As he turned around to leave the hall, he heard the sound of pages turning as Sir Rabbit turned the book not far away from him.
Angel looked back at the purple book on the table, which was flipped continuously by Sir Rabbit, and suddenly his figure did not want to go back, but quietly started drifting to Sir Rabbit’s side, his eyes wandering through the contents of the book.
The purple book is standing up and he can see the cover of the book very clearly.
The cover of the book is not surprising, styled a bit like romance novels that aristocratic ladies like.
At the top was a strange row of texts, which Angel could not understand. He thinks it may be the title of the book.
At the bottom is a slightly cartoonish picture of a few sketched castles in the background and a slightly blurry cartoon picture of a girl in the foreground: red hat, long brown curly hair, blue skirt and white shoes.
Whether it is the girl’s facial features or clothing, they were not well drawn, like children’s scribbles, the only merit being was that it was very colorful.
There are castles and a girl on the cover. Is this a “fairy tale princess” that his mentor always mentioned when he was a child?
When Angel was very young during bedtime, most stories told by Jon were regarding ancient anecdotes of life, and a small part of the stories were from the Grimm fairy tales.
Although Angel personally does not like the style, he can still roughly remember each of the names of the stories, among them, the most famous stories was about “Snow White” and “Cinderella”.
Therefore, as soon as Angel saw the cover of a young girl, he thought of the princesses in those stories told by his mentor.
Angel did not dwell on the cover for too long. Anyway, he could not understand the text above. He simply floated towards the rear of Sir Rabbit and read the contents of the book.
He had stumbled upon such a book before, and remembered it was called a picture book.
Angel stood behind Sir Rabbit. Although he could not understand the words on, he could see from the pictures.
It’s a fairy tale.
A girl inadvertently broke into a wonderful world, there she could shrink like a mouse by drinking a sip of red wine or become a giant by eating a piece of cake, and grow even bigger by drinking a plate of mushroom soup to her left or right in the same feast.
The girl was surprised initially, but began a magical journey meeting magical creatures.
Angel looked on with relish, but inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity to this story.
But soon, he put aside this unnecessary emotions and continued to immerse himself in the story.
As time went by, Angel did not notice that things had become derailed.
Not to mention that Sir Rabbit flipped through the book at Angel’s reading speed from beginning to end, and the owl puppets, card guards, teacups, rabbit, and colorful dragonflies in the hall suddenly surrounded him.
But Angel himself did not notice since he was completely fascinated by the magnificent journey of the story.
All these strange and disobedient creatures, Angel did not pay heed in his heart, but focused more on the joy of reading this fairy tale while his spirit completely resonated with the heroine.
Angel felt that he had become the protagonist of the fairy tale that ran along with the talking rabbit.
Everything was beautiful, and all the creatures they meet, though strange in appearance, were well-intentioned.
Angel even thinks this is a Wonderland.
As he indulged in the beauty of Wonderland, a shrill laugh came from a castle in the distance.
“Oh, no, the queen of hearts is coming! Sharapova, you have to get out of here right now, or the queen of hearts will turn you into a card guard!” The talking rabbit anxiously said.
Queen of Hearts?
Get out of here?
Sharapova?
Angel’s eyes flashed blankly. Who is Sharapova?
My name is not.
Huh?
What is my name?
There was something wrong, Angel finally felt this from the bottom of his heart.
He remembered seeing a rabbit dressed as a gentleman in the castle of the manor, and then found the rabbit reading.
What was I doing?
The original fantastical journey through Wonderland in Angel’s heart, at this moment, immediately collapsed to pieces.
Something was wrong. He keeps feeling as like he has forgotten something very important. Angel felt like he had to remember this important thing!
Angel’s heart screaming at him, but his memory kept coming in fragments, it became so serious that he had almost forgotten what he was doing at the last moment.
“Hey~”
“Sharapova, what are you waiting for?
Run!
The Queen of Hearts is here!
“The rabbit took Angel by the hand: “Now the situation was urgent, only by escaping into my rabbit hole, can we safely escape!”
In a moment of confusion, Angel was unconsciously pulled by the rabbit.
The distant mountains are still green, but the previous dream-like spell no longer affected him, and now Angel sees a sense of lifeless discord between what was happening.
“That’s my rabbit hole. Get in there quickly. I’ll take care of the Queen of Hearts.”
The rabbit shoved Angel in.
With a stumble, Angel fell to the ground.
The rabbit was still hurrying him into the rabbit hole, but Angel suddenly became more alert.
“Go back to the storeroom.”
This message popped up in his mind again through the flash of light.
Storeroom?
The confusion in Angel’s eyes suddenly dispersed, and he thought of the storeroom!
Doesn’t he remember testing his talent and inadvertently entering this strange parallel world?
And he began reading the book with Sir Rabbit!
In this moment, Angel’s eyes became clear, heaven and earth changed, and everything turned to nothingness.
Originally, the place that was the rabbit hole was replaced by a huge mouth with dripping fangs.
And the lovely rabbit behind him became a dilapidated puppet covered in patchwork.
Angel retreated back, step by step, quickly away from the boundary of this bloody basin.
Just after he retreated far away from this area, he found that he had inadvertently returned to the previous hall.
The original hall where Sir Rabbit was located.
The calm in Angel’s eyes were no longer present, because he found himself surrounded by a group of card guards.
