In 945, the Iberian Peninsula - Aragon plain.
The stream meanders along the forest. On the stone beside the stream, there is a rather young man sitting by the river to wash his face. His short gray hair sticks to branches, and his clothes are cut by thorns, which is very messy.
It's the runaway prince, sizewell.
After running all night, he escaped the control of the manor and climbed several mountains and forests. He didn't believe that his female officer could catch up now.
However, even if he catches up with Xavier, he is not very worried, because he has night owls, who can watch for him in the sky, and anyone who approaches him a thousand steps can receive warning.
After flying for a whole day, owl is tired. He is combing his feathers on the branch. It's day, and it's a bit of a slouch.
"What's your name?" Sizewell asked the owl.
The owl combed his hair and ignored him.
Sizewell threw a handful of water at the owl, who jumped away and croaked unhappily, "what are you doing?"
"What's your name?" Asked sizeville.
"No name." The owl replied listlessly.
"Why don't you have a name?"
"Because it's not necessary."
Said the owl coldly.
"Why not? We all have names."
"Where did you get so much? Why?"
The owl croaked and said: "even if there is, I will not tell you my real name. Knowing the real name of a thing, you can control it completely. As a wizard, you don't even know that
"I don't know. No one taught me."
Said sizewell honestly.
"No, now you know." The owl croaked and continued to comb.
"Although you say very profound, but..." sizewell eyes turned: "but... You always quack, I call you frog."
"Quack!"
The owl did not have the good spirit to jump, expressed the protest.
"Frog, frog, quack quack"
"shut up, stupid guy. Do you want to go to Pandora to find the wizard? "
"Think about it," said sizewell, "or what am I going to do with you?"
"I'm hungry," the owl said boldly, "go and help me find food. If you can help me find some food, I'll be happy to start early and take you to Pandora."
Food...
when the owl said that, sizeville felt hungry, too. After running all night, he didn't notice. Now he stopped, and he heard his stomach growling.
He felt this feeling for the first time when he was a child under the care of countless people. Because he was afraid that the female officials would catch up with him, he almost didn't bring any luggage and went to battle alone. As a result, he has no food reserves.
"Brother frog, what would you like to eat?"
"Snake, mouse, rabbit, as long as it's not mushroom."
"Do frogs eat?"
"Quack!" Night owl flapping wings, ferocious claws fly toward him.
Xavier laughed, dodged the owl's claws and ran out easily.
The owl ignored him, put his head in his wings and began to sleep.
Not far away, hunger surged again.
Coo, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, coo, COO, COO, COO.
The forest is not rich in resources. It took him ten minutes to find a small animal eating berries on the ground.
This little animal looks very similar to a rabbit, but it has no rabbit's three petaled mouth and long ears, only a pair of round ears that look like a mouse and two black eyes with smooth bones.
On weekdays, Xavier learned to ride, shoot and hunt with the bodyguard in the manor. He had great confidence in his body.
He held his breath and walked forward with deep and shallow feet. There were many years of withered leaves under his feet. It was soft and even elastic when he stepped on it. He absorbed the sound of his footsteps completely, but there was no sound when he stepped on it.
Then, when he was about five meters away, he jumped out and launched an attack. Before the little beast could react, he was stabbed in the leg by the tip of the stick.
He struggled, twitched, and ran in the other direction. Xavier jumped on it, pressed it, drew out his knife, pressed the animal's vein, and said, "I'm sorry."
Then, he stabbed the struggling prey.
Blood seeps on the tree trunk. When he mentions his booty, sizewell grins. This is his first killing, but he doesn't have any resistance.
A small achievement made him feel great. He got the qualification to survive by his own hands. The manor in the past can't give him such a feeling.Just as he was about to go back to lunch with the owl, he suddenly noticed that something was looking at him. Looking down, it turned out that it was a black green python, hissing in the grass.
"Hey
Sizewell gave the boa a fierce look with his prey: "I found it first!"
The boa constrictor vomited the letter, turned and left slowly.
I don't know if it was the illusion of Xavier. He always felt that there was irony in his eyes before the snake left.
The hunger in his stomach diluted his other thoughts. He drove back with his prey. He had more than 100 ways to cook it in his mind, though he knew nothing about cooking.
Walking back for about half an hour, sizewell's pace gradually slowed down. He remembered that it took him only about ten minutes to come, but it took him more than three times to go back.
What's more, the stream where I washed my face is missing now. It's clear that it was near here just now.
The surrounding scenery is very similar to when I just passed here, except that trees are trees, but it's not exactly the same.
But he couldn't tell the difference.
"Strange."
He touched his head, thought about it, and made small strides in the direction he had decided.
Ten more minutes.
The stream separated from the owl still disappeared, which made him puzzled. Then, he suddenly stopped and stepped back two steps.
There was a beech on his left. There was a pool of red blood at the black root of the beech.
when he saw as like as two peas, the blood of his beech was raised. His eyebrows were wrinkled. There was no reason for him. This was exactly where he had just killed his prey. The shape of the blood was the same.
I was walking back just now, but how could I walk back to where I was? Xavier didn't understand.
Looking around, the weather was getting late, the sun was setting, and the dark north wind was blowing all over the trees, just like a ferocious living creature. He felt that he was being monitored by a cold and inexplicable object that didn't like him, which made him nervous inevitably.
Where and how?
The sense of direction is a little confused.
And I'm a little bit afraid...
but on second thought, I'm a wizard, and I can talk to night owls. It's also mysterious. Why should he be afraid of mystery?
He made two gestures with his hands and decided that it was better to go to the same place.
To start again, this time, he was firm and resolute in his steps. Every few steps he took, he had to look back at his footprints on the ground to make sure that he was walking in a straight line.
But ten minutes later, he still couldn't go back to the stream where he started to wash his face. Not only that, a row of footprints even appeared in front of him. He followed the row of footprints in a gaping way. After a while, he returned to the position of the bloody beech.
the shape as like as two peas ago is just a little dried up on the shape of bloodstains on beech. Ten.
A cold wind blew by, and the air seemed to solidify. There was a kind of magical whisper in the wind: "hiss... Hiss... You took something that didn't belong to you... Hiss... Hiss"
even the most brave man was a little nervous at the moment. Sizewell's mouth twitched twice, he shivered and ran away. I want to get out of this weird place.
This time, he no longer chose the direction, on the contrary, he twisted left and right, constantly changing the direction, the trees were quickly left behind by him, he jumped all the obstacles that could stop him.
But after five minutes of running, he stopped like a jerk. For no other reason, West Xavier still returned to a similar position. The bloody beech was like a bone maggot, which could not be thrown away.
"Wow! What happened? "
He cried out alone.
Thinking of the stories that the female official had read with him, and some mysterious phenomena that Hugo had told him, sizewell was sweating. Did the ghost of the rabbit come to his door?
So he untied the prey hanging on his waist, looked at it hoarse and said, "aren't you happy? I want to eat you because I'm hungry. If I don't, you will die. It's inevitable. I apologize. Why do you blame me? "
Prey did not answer, tongue, empty eyes, a dead, lifeless, completely not like can cause waves.
"Well, it's hard for you..."
Xavier gave up the game and put the body back under the beech.
He stepped back and left the beech step by step.
Back to about 10 meters, there was a light sound behind.
He turned his head like lightning, and saw a black green Python come out of the Bush, hold the prey under the beech, and turn around and run.
"I knew it was you who was doing it!"Sizewell was furious. He rushed out of the bushes and yelled with a dagger. The humiliation of being teased goes straight to the top door.
Although he didn't know how he went back to the origin again and again, he was sure that it must be the snake that was making trouble. A prince was fooled by a snake. That's ridiculous.
The snake saw that he was coming fiercely and swished away from the fallen leaves with the rabbit in his mouth.
"Stop!
Sizewell was firmly behind the python, running faster and faster.
In the end, there was an illusion, but he didn't realize how fast he was.
Thinking that he had just been scared by the strange phenomenon, he could not help feeling ashamed of his fear. Hugo had taught him since he was young that the real king should fall in front of Mount Tai without changing his face. He thought so, but he didn't.
Fortunately, Hugo also told him that he should never easily forgive his opponent. Only after victory can there be so-called kindness. He still has a chance to do that.
Now, he's going to break up the humiliating reptile.
The boa constrictor turned to look at him. He was frightened by his momentum. He didn't dare to race with the boy. He found a crack in the ground and went inside.
Sizewell pounced on the snake and grabbed its tail a second before it entered the cave. Then his neck was blue and he wanted to pull the snake out of the cave.
The boa constrictor hissed in pain.
Then the earth moved.
The ground shook wildly, and the leaves and branches rustled away.
Sizewell is very attentive. He doesn't care about the vibration of the ground at all. He's going to drag out the snake and kill it today.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
At this time, a night owl from the air desperately flew over, while flying while shouting: "go, fool, don't pull!"
As soon as sizewell looked up and saw the owl, he said happily, "you're here. Come and help me!"
"Do me a favor!"
The owl was about to cry. He cried anxiously, "come on, we're in the wrong place. There's a snake here!"
"Nonsense, of course I know there are snakes here!"
Sizewell said the snake was in his hand.
But the ground is shaking more and more.
In the middle of the frenzied shock, sizewell called out attentively: "Hey, brother frog, don't just talk, but come and help! Grab it with your paws, and your dinner is in its mouth. "
"I don't want to help you, fool, you're on your own!"
Night owl croaks, it flies up madly.
"Hey, what!? Did you just fly away? "
Yelled sizewell angrily, dissatisfied with the Nightowl's unfaithful behavior.
However, the owl did not fly far.
It flies, the distant ground raised a big mountain bag, the big mountain bag blocked the sky, blocked all the light, not only that, the whole mountain bag reversed. Huge chunks of soil and trees fell to the ground.
"Jesus is up!"
Sizewell's eyes widened.
At last he knew why he was lost.
He did not dare to think how big a snake was when it jumped to the extreme.
The snake is coiled on the ground, covered with soil and covered with forest. The back of the snake is a forest. When it wakes up, it slowly moves its body, leading to the continuous rotation of the forest, which also leads to its own walking back to the starting point again and again.
I saw that the huge snake head like a mountain slowly opened in the setting sun, but it fell heavily with the speed of thunder.
Boom!!
With the shaking of the earth.
The owl, Xavier, and the boa constrictor in his hand were all swallowed by the giant snake.
