Li Wei was ushered into the castle by the paper cutout guards, feeling utterly bewildered.
They told him that Princess Alice had been carried off by an Evil Dragon, and they needed a Hero to vanquish the beast and rescue her.
Whoever could rescue the Princess would receive the King's most generous reward.
Now, the guard was leading Li Wei to see the King.
When he saw what the King looked like, Li Wei showed a hint of surprise, though he also felt it was to be expected.
The King and Queen also looked like playing cards.
The Big and Little Jokers.
'The things in dreams are truly bizarre.'
Li Wei was now afraid that the Princess Alice he was looking for would also be a paper cutout.
The King spoke. "Brave outsider, can you help me find my beloved Princess?"
"In return, I will give you the Kingdom's most precious reward!"
Li Wei readily agreed. "Where is the Evil Dragon's lair?"
The King sent Old Q to guide Li Wei.
