~17 min read 3,277 words

The next day, Tom woke up from the soft and wide bed again.
"Your Majesty, the knight leader sent news that the evil dragon is getting closer and closer to us!"
Under the service of the maid, Tom got dressed and put on the crown.
The loyal veteran also quickly reported the latest information about the evil dragon.
Tom Mu takes the information about evil dragons quite seriously.
"How much longer?"
Tang Mu looked at himself in the full-length mirror and asked.
"Probably arriving tomorrow."
The old minister answered seriously.
"Um."
Tang Mu nodded and said, "Go to the weaver."
With that said, he walked out.
Seeing this, the old minister called the guards to follow him.
At first, the veteran had a good impression of the two weavers.
As a result, for two days in a row, we produced pieces of cloth that His Majesty was not satisfied with.
This made the veteran who recommended them feel very embarrassed.
Very unhappy.
"If I can't make a piece of cloth that satisfies His Majesty again this time."
The old minister was ready to admonish His Majesty and give the two weavers some punishment.
Making mistakes one after another, it is obvious that they are not skilled weavers.
A group of people headed toward the weaver's location in a mighty manner.
Before entering the room, I saw the busy figures of the two weavers outside the window.
"It seems they have a good job."
Seeing this, the veteran finally felt a little relieved.
Tom Mu said nothing.
Just walked directly into the house.
When she saw that the two looms were still empty, Maomao couldn't help but shook her head.
​Obviously, these two people did not work well.
Seeing Tom Mu coming in with a large group of people, the two weavers were obviously a little nervous.
I no longer have the confidence I had when we first met.
After being denied twice by Tom Mu, both of them had a bad premonition.
Among them, the short and fat weaver even wanted to give up this deception and weave the cloth obediently.
But the tall and thin weaver was reluctant to part with the gold and silver jewelry he had obtained through fraud.
He is still gambling.
Bet that Tom is just pretending.
He was betting that his deception would not be seen through.
I bet that strange cat emperor just didn't want to show his stupidity in front of others, so he was deliberately picking on him.
After all, they had to deceive so many jewels with great difficulty.
He really couldn't give up just because of a hunch.
But seeing Tang Mu at this moment, the tall and thin weaver was inevitably a little nervous.
A large amount of sweat soaked his linen clothes unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, please take a look, are you satisfied with the cloth this time?"
As soon as the tall and thin weaver opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little hoarse.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't say anything.
Tom Mu looked at the empty loom in front of him, then at the two nervous weavers beside him, and suddenly grinned widely.
He seemed to be very satisfied and nodded!
Seeing this, the two weavers breathed a huge sigh of relief.
While the tall and thin weaver among them had relieved his nervousness, he looked at Tom Mu with a look of contempt.
Sure enough, that's right.
He is as stupid an emperor as the rumors say.
This time not only can he make a lot of money, but he can even make the emperor look embarrassed in public.
"I need this cloth. Remember to make two sets of clothes. I will need it tomorrow."
After Tom ordered the weavers again, he turned around and left.
The two weavers quickly bowed towards Tom Mu's leaving figure.
Seeing that Tom Mu had left, the tall and thin weaver quickly rushed to the door, quickly closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at his companion, his faceHe showed an arrogant smile.
"Look! I said it's okay! Now we will be rich! As long as tomorrow passes, we can leave here."
The short and fat weaver no longer had any worries at this time and smiled.
On this day, as before, two weavers pretended to be working in the house.
At night, they lit candles so that the windows could reflect the scene of them working all night.
The next day, Tom got up again.
This time I did not go to the studio of the two weavers, but went directly to its dressing room.
As an emperor who likes to wear new clothes.
Its dressing room is even larger and more luxurious than its bedroom.
At this time, the two weavers were already waiting here.
They held an empty tray in their hands.
Just looking at their appearance, it seems as if there is really something on them.
I saw Tom Mu coming in.
The two men hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty!"
"Meow~"
Tang Mu responded casually, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
The two of them straightened up again.
Although this is not the first time to see Tang Mu.
But every time I see this royal cat with gorgeous clothes and status, I always feel a strange feeling of separation.
"Your Majesty, the clothes you requested have been prepared. Do you want to change into them now?"
The tall and thin weaver said, motioning to Tom Mu about the tray in his hand.
The short and fat weaver next to him also quickly raised his hand.
Tang Mu smiled and nodded, saying: "Then you can put it on and show me."
"ah?"
As soon as Tang Mu spoke, the two weavers were stunned!
This is a situation they did not expect at all.
They had heard that the emperor of this kingdom loved new clothes, so they came here specially to cheat.
Why now that the new clothes are made, the emperor doesn't want to wear them, but lets them try them on?
Others don't know, can they still know that this so-called new clothes don't exist at all?
I saw two weavers suddenly froze on the spot.
Although the veteran on the side didn't know what Tang Mu meant.
But he is loyal and knows that he must perfectly implement His Majesty's orders.
Now that His Majesty had given the order, they could not help but refuse.
not to mention.
This is still a good thing.
The emperor was satisfied with the new clothes as a reward, so what reason did they have to refuse?

"His Majesty asked you to put it on, so you should put it on quickly! Is it possible that you are still dissatisfied with it?"
The old minister frowned and urged again.
When the two weavers heard this, their faces suddenly showed bitterness.
Just looking at the vaguely unkind looks from so many guards around them, they couldn't refuse.
Especially, many of them looked at them with envious expressions.
It made the two weavers even more miserable.
Where are the new clothes?
It's all fake!
This time I really shot myself in the foot.
Dilly-dallying.
The two weavers still took off their clothes.
Then he pretended to put on the so-called new clothes.
"Not bad, very beautiful!"
Tom praised in a nice bass voice.
Upon hearing this, the emperor began to praise him.
Of course, the other people nearby quickly followed suit, and each one brought out all they had learned throughout their life.
All kinds of beautiful words were thrown at the two new clothes.
The two naked weavers felt very awkward.
Being surrounded by a group of people, looking at me with strange eyes, I felt as uncomfortable as if there were ten thousand ants crawling on my body.
They instinctively want to cover their bodies.
But he was afraid of being scolded by Tang Mu.
They have not forgotten that they are wearing extremely beautiful new clothes at this time.
You have to show your own side.
When I think of those bags of gold and silver jewelry.
Both of them puffed up their chests.
"Very good, let's go out for a parade. We must let the people appreciate these two beautiful new clothes."
As soon as Tang Mu said this.
The two weavers were immediately frightened and turned pale!
It's hard enough to have such a small-scale social death in the locker room.
Now they even have to parade on the street outside the castle!
The two weavers felt their calves trembling at the thought of running naked on the street and being watched by so many residents in the royal capital.
But the matter has come to this, and they can no longer tolerate the two of them refusing.
Thinking of the gold and silver jewelry in the house, the tall and thin weaver gritted his teeth and took the lead in walking forward.
When the short and fat weaver saw the appearance of the tall and thin weaver, he became a little more courageous and followed him forward.
Originally, the two of them wanted to look forward to it, but there were not many people on the street outside.
Everyone is doing their own thing and will not pay attention to their parade.
At least this is not embarrassing to the extreme.
But at some point, two very powerful weavers came to the emperor's castle, and the news that they weaved very beautiful cloth had spread throughout the city.
The emperor also announced yesterday that there would be a parade today.
Therefore, many people are waiting eagerly on the main road of the royal capital.
They also wanted to see how magical and beautiful the so-called magical cloth was.
Just seeingmoment of the emperor's procession.
The whole city fell strangely silent.
Because they clearly saw two naked men walking at the front of the parade.
The strange thing is that they still hold their heads high and their chests high.
He didn't seem to notice that he was not wearing any clothes.
"What's going on? Isn't it about the new clothes parade?"
Among the crowds on both sides of the main road, someone asked his companions in a low voice.
The companion looked very smart and raised his chin proudly: "Can't you see? The two people in front are wearing the legendary new clothes."
"ah?"
"This new clothes has a very wonderful ability, and no stupid person can see it. And I also heard that people who wear the new clothes will gain great power."
The smart man crossed his arms and looked proud.
With that said, Da Clever turned to look at his companion: "You can't see those two clothes, can you?"
"No! How is it possible! Of course I can see them, they are very beautiful! Oh my god! Look at the rubies on the cuffs. They are wealth I will never earn in my life."
The crowds on both sides of the road were talking a lot.
The two weavers walking in the procession were flushed.
They even feel that life is worse than death now.
If you weren't still thinking about the gold and silver jewelry in the house.
The two of them could no longer bear it and fled.
It was really unbearable for them to have so many eyes on them.
"Report!"
At this moment, a fast horse rushed towards the procession from the direction of the city gate.
Ten meters away from the team, the knight dismounted and quickly came to Tang Mu's side.
Tom pricked up his ears and listened quietly to the knight's report.
After listening to the report, Tang Mu nodded without saying anything.
He just signaled the team to continue marching.
Their parade was planned to go outside the city from the beginning.
There are no changes now.
But the two tortured liars at the front of the team also noticed that the atmosphere in the team was getting weirder and weirder.
When the parade finally arrived outside the city.
The civilians following the parade couldn't help but exclaimed!
Not far away from the horizon, a huge creature with wings was flying quickly towards this side.
There was no need to wait for the huge creature to approach, everyone knew exactly who it was!
Evil dragon!
The legendary terrifying existence that can destroy an entire country with one dragon!
The discovery of the appearance of the evil dragon quickly plunged the entire royal capital into panic.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "New clothes can give the wearer great power! Those two weavers can fight against the evil dragon!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to the two weavers in front of the team.
Being watched by so many eyes, the two weavers' legs weakened and they knelt down directly.
Looking back at the expectant eyes of the civilians, my lips were trembling!
That's unbelievable!
How cruel!
Killing people must be punished!
We are just bragging!
You actually want our lives!
The two weavers instinctively wanted to refuse.
But before the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly saw Tang Mu's lofty gaze from behind, and he choked up again.
what to do!
They can't just admit that they are lying, right?
In that case, wouldn't all the treasures in the room be gone? !
The two weavers were still thinking about the jewelry at this time.
Being encouraged by a group of people, he actually stood up and started to face the flying dragon.
Looking at the two figures charging towards the evil dragon, Tang Mu also sighed helplessly.
Finally, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, two more shrill screams pierced the sky!
Blood spurted out, staining the bodies of the two weavers red.
It was as if they had really been put on new clothes.
only.
till the end.
I don't know that they died under the claws of the evil dragon.
Still under the heavy pressure of gold coins.
The story ends here.
The surrounding scenery began to distort.
It seems that everything is going backwards.
Will have to do it all over again soon.
This is the fate of the story world.
This kind of world fragment is not even a small world.
You can only follow the established route and repeat the cycle over and over again.
People in the story may not feel anything yet.
Only occasionally will there be some sense of déjà vu.
But once you leave the story world.
They will immediately discover how tortured their previous life was.
This is also the main reason why the old emperor never wants to go back.
This is also the reason why he shouted that he didn't want to go back and run naked again.
Having separated from the story world, he already knows very well what the story world is like.
He never wanted to experience that endless cycle of days again.
At this time, the "Emperor's New Clothes" story world where Tang Mu lives has completed the story under Tang Mu's interpretation.
​Although this story has undergone many changes from the original version.
But this does not prevent the story world from entering the next cycle.
But this cycle obviously cannot succeed.
Tang Mu just happened to dislike that his subspace was not perfect and a little small.

The story has been completed.
Tom Mu naturally noticed a suction force, pulling him away from this world.
After feeling this power, Tang Mu grabbed the ground under his feet without saying a word, and pulled out the magic book along with the world of "The Emperor's New Clothes"!
The story takes place in subspace.
The old magic book is still open.
Tom Mu was sprayed out from inside first and sat down on the floor.
Then another large volume of folded space rushed out from inside.
A steady stream of space pours out.
A huge storm formed at the mayor's mansion of Tom Mu.
After the story world of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is completely pulled out and integrated with Tom Mu's subspace.
The storm finally subsided.
"What, what's going on?"
The old magic book felt like his body was being hollowed out, and he was still in a state of confusion.
Tang Mu ignored the old magic book for the time being, climbed up from the ground, and ran directly out of the mayor's mansion.
When I ran outside and took a look, I immediately discovered that the world had changed.
After all, subspace is Tom Mu's infinite city.
Tang Mu can sense everything that happens in the space.
At this time, combined with the changes in front of him, Tang Mu has been able to confirm that his subspace has indeed absorbed the story world of "The Emperor's New Clothes".
The current subspace area of ​​Story Town is much larger than before.
It's about the size of a small town.
There is also a familiar castle inside, with a population of thousands.
It's like moving the royal capital in "The Emperor's New Clothes" here.
​Considering that these people are all fairy tale characters.
At this time, Tom Mu's Story Town feels a bit like Disneyland.
​Whether it's a good guy or a bad guy.
There is a bottom line in Storybrooke.
After leaving the story world and being promoted to Story Town, these people can no longer be called human beings.
Instead, it turned into a humanoid fairy tale race.
Nature is inclined toward good.
It's really incredible.
Tom looked at it carefully.
Found that the two liar weavers were also resurrected.
But it seems that the lesson learned last time has been learned.
Now they are ready to live as real weavers.
I roughly observed the population environment in Story Town.
Tang Mu closed his eyes again and carefully felt the subspace environment of Story Town after fusing the world fragments.
Suddenly discovered that there was underground water under the land in subspace.
The land has also become active.
This at least ensures that the townspeople can farm.
He raised his head and looked at the sky again, and saw a false sun.
That is the sun brought from the world of "The Emperor's New Clothes".
It can bear the function of the sun.
But because the story world is just a fragment of the world, Story Town only has day and night at this time, and even the four seasons have not yet appeared.
​Besides, there are many things missing.
To turn Storybrooke into a complete world, Tom needs to bring in more world fragments.
"Wow!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"We are free!"
While Tom Mu was still thinking.
There was a burst of cheers from the newly arrived townspeople.
Obviously, after leaving the infinite loop of the story world, they have also discovered their current situation.
They were cheering at this time.
However, Tang Mu still has some doubts about absorbing world fragments.
Because it remembers.
The story world is indeed not big, but it should not be just that small.
After all, during those few days in the world of "The Emperor's New Clothes", Tom Muke heard a lot from the old minister.
At the very least, there is still the knight leader and the evil dragon.
But they don't seem to be pulled here.
Seeing the old magic book also walking out of the house.
Tom asked it his question.
When the old magic book heard this, he was a little shocked that Tang Mu could do this, but he still answered Tang Mu's question.
"Is such that……"
