v2 Chapter 431： The Bard's Tale

The dark gold lacquer lines were peeled off, and the unknown magic circle was worn down to the point where it was impossible to see the exact shape. In the center of the dark and worn cover was a large circle resembling a magnifying glass, and in the center was a minstrel who was applauding all the time.

This is the cover of this "Tales of the Greedy Poet", and the ever-moving bard always has a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, which is uncomfortable.

"Tales of the Greedy Poet" records many strange and inexplicable fables, fairy tales, and ballads. On the title page of the cover, the handwriting has not been erased by time, but has become brighter.

——

I saw again a great black throne and the one sitting on it, and from his presence the earth and the heavens fled, and there was nowhere to be seen.

Again I saw the dead, big and small, standing before the throne.

Just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death came to all, because all sinned.

——

The frontispiece on the title page made Sean frown. He never liked this kind of rambling remarks, nor did he like this kind of inquisition-like stuff.

However, since this thing is placed in the ** area, it is probably not a serious thing.

Sean turned to the page of "The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom", and immediately decided that the gem held in the hand of the eccentric bard in the illustration was the obsession!

Of course, the obsession may not be the only one, but just looking at the weird and inexplicable illustration, Sean almost intuitively believed that what the poet was holding was the obsession stored in his ring.

He quickly read it down, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and when he finished reading it all, Sean's brows were already knitted together.

Stephanie watched him quietly, until Sean looked away from the book and asked, "How is it?"

Sean nodded uncertainly: "It should be the obsession body I'm looking for, but the story itself is very strange... No, very strange... Have you seen similar stories before?"

Saying that, he handed the book over.

Stephanie took the "Tales of the Greedy Poet", she gently unfolded it, studied it for a while and read it softly.

"Once upon a time, there was a valiant and witty bard who liked to take risks and explore the unknown. One morning, he set out on his way to a distant place."

"On the way he saw many different landscapes, he saw many beautiful, ugly, unique, mediocre, eccentric, or dark..."

"He's learned a lot, he's accomplished a lot, and people are chanting his name and welcoming him everywhere he goes."

"But the happy bard gave up all the good things in this world, and he moved on, looking forward to seeing more."

"One day, while passing through a forest, the bard encountered a kind snake."

"'Oh, isn't this the famous bard, nice to meet you, where are you going?' said the snake to the bard."

"The bard told the other party that he was exploring more mysteries in this world, and that he was looking forward to finding treasures that no one had ever discovered."

"'Oh, what did you get the treasure for?' asked the snake curiously."

"The bard smiled and shook his head. He just enjoys the process of exploration and the sense of achievement in obtaining the treasure. As for what to do with the treasure, he doesn't care at all."

"The kind snake believed in the adventurous bard, and it told him to go in that direction, and when you pass through the fog you will see a new world, and at the end of the world there is a beautiful big bird, just pass each other You can get a rare gem in the world.”

"The bard thanked the snake happily, and walked happily in that direction."

"'No thanks!' said the snake."

"When the bard walked away, the snake showed a successful conspiracy smile. It turned out that it was the master behind the fog. It took a fancy to the bard's soul and wanted to take his soul away."

"The test after the fog, the snake of wisdom does not believe that anyone can pass it."

"The bard walked and walked in the direction of the serpent of wisdom, through the quagmire, through the river, through the valley, through the plain, through the cemetery, through the forest..."

"Finally, one day, he stepped into a thick fog. He couldn't see the direction in the fog, but the bard did not hesitate at all. He walked in one direction and finally walked out of the fog."

"Behind the fog is a beautiful world, mountains, lakes, palaces, forests, and there is peace in it."

"The bard looked happily at this new world. He went to a lake and washed his face. The fish and birds made a commotion, and the bard laughed happily."

"At this time, a bird suddenly jumped up on his shoulder, and the bird said to him: 'Welcome to the new world!'"

"It turns out that this is the world outside the world, and this little bird is the soul of the bard."

"The bard laughed, 'How is my soul a sparrow?'"

"The sparrow said in a moving voice: 'I can give you everything you want!'"

"And so the bard set out on the road with the sparrow."

"The bard was walking, and he accidentally fell into a cave."

"There are countless treasures of gold and silver in the cave, and all kinds of dazzling rays of light caught the bard's eyes."

"The little sparrow jumped out: 'I can help you take all these treasures away! Then you are the richest man in the world! Not even a king has ever seen such a huge wealth!'"

"The bard shook his head firmly, 'I don't need wealth, I have enough money'."

"He walked out of the cave and continued to walk forward, and then he came to a beautiful flower field."

"At this time, many beautiful women laughed and danced around, and each of them was so charming, more attractive than all the women the bard had seen when he traveled the world."

"The women sang beautiful songs and danced beautiful dances around the bard."

"The little sparrow said: 'I can take all of these beautiful women for you! They will all fall in love with you fervently and deadly! Not even a king's harem is as large as yours!'"

"The bard smiled and shook his head again, he firmly broke through the siege of the beauties, strode forward in the eyes of the women's disappointment and grievances, 'beautiful skin is only for a while, I will finally meet one One woman is enough for me to truly fall in love with.'"

"He continued to walk. This time, he entered a dark forest. There are no animals here, only dark trees."

"The bard walked for a long time in the forest. He didn't find anything to eat or drink. He almost died of hunger and thirst."

"Finally, he came out of the dark forest, and he met a group of enthusiastic local people who invited each other to today's dinner."

"In the distance, the bonfire has been set up, and the food smells so wonderful that the bard is about to faint in happiness just by smelling it."

"The little sparrow said: 'The most delicious food in the world is right in front of your eyes! These local people are all the best cooks, you can eat a good meal, and then I will take them all away! Even the king There are not so many great cooks!'"

"The bard shook his head against hunger. He walked to the side of the road to take a sip of water and picked two green fruits. 'Food is enough as long as it fills the stomach.'"

"He went on and on and on, and soon came across a mighty tribe, where everyone uses terrible magic, and everyone is stronger than the foe the bard has ever vanquished."

"Those people laughed at the bard, insulted him with all kinds of dirty words, even children smashed him with carrion and excrement, and laughed."

"The little sparrow said: 'These defiant fellows! How irritating! Come, and I will tell you the secret of their greatness, and you will gain greater power, and kill them! Even all the king's armies put together Not your opponent either!'"

"The bard, chasing the flies from his body, shook his head, 'Their rudeness comes from ignorance, and neither should they be reduced to being killed by my anger.'"

"Just like that, he left here again."

"Going a long way again, the bard met a group of people again, but this time it was different. All were gentle and polite, they greeted the bard warmly and shared what they had seen and heard. ."

"This group likes to explore like bards, each of them has countless novel experiences, each of them carries treasures that bards have never seen before, and even, every time they go out to explore, they will have like-minded partners ."

"This time, the little sparrow just whispered in his ear: 'Are you jealous? I can give you everything better...'"

"The bard burst out laughing, 'This is exactly what I want for a better me, why should I be jealous?'"

"His stride is getting firmer, he's moving faster and faster, and he's full of charisma, and even the birds are circling above him."

"But this time the bard has gone a long, long, long time."

"It was so long that he even forgot how many years he had gone, and only knew that he had never stayed."

"Finally, the bard has reached his limit. His legs seem to be tied to two giant mountains, his lungs seem to have magma flowing, and his sweat has already wet all his clothes."

"The little sparrow who hasn't spoken for so many years suddenly said, 'How about we take a break?'"

"The bard is unusually firm, 'The explorer's pace will never stop!'"

"He dragged his exhausted body and finally came to the front of a snowy mountain. The bard's eyes lit up. This is what the snake said!"

"Those snowflakes fell on the world, but the bard's footsteps did not stop."

"'Help me, help me—' and suddenly he heard a faint cry for help."

"The bard walked over and took a look, and found a snake that was almost frozen in the snow. This is the Mr. Snake he saw before!"

"It turns out that the snake of wisdom has been watching the bard, it thought that the other party would obey the little sparrow's bewitching in those trials, and then fail, so that he could take away the other party's soul - but, the bard There was no wavering at all."

"The Snake of Wisdom couldn't sit still, the last test was ahead, it drove away the last test, and then lay down on its own. Even, in order to make everything more real, the Snake of Wisdom really made itself almost frozen. died."

"It believes that the bard will definitely save himself, so that when his body warms up, he can directly bite this annoying poet to death with his fangs! But if the other party doesn't save him, then the final test will be The bard will not pass, and his goal will also be achieved!"

"What a seamless plan--the serpent of wisdom shivered in the snow, but thought triumphantly."

"'Oh, famous bard! I'm freezing to death, save me!'"

"The little sparrow didn't speak this time."

"The bard touched each other lightly with his foot, 'You're going to freeze to death.'"

"'Yes, save me,' pleaded the serpent of wisdom."

"'But I'm afraid you'll kill me when I save you,' said the bard."

"'No, how could it be? You are my saviour.'"

"The bard thought for a while, then took out a bag, 'Well, I'll put you in the bag, and you'll have to pull out your fangs to prevent you from biting me.'"

"The Snake of Wisdom hesitated, but it finally nodded - it can secretly hide a fang..."

"The bard put the freezing serpent of wisdom in a bag and pulled its fangs."

"The Snake of Wisdom feels the warmth, and it secretly rejoices, because the other party has not found the fangs it has hidden."

"The bard climbed the snowy mountain with a bag in this way, and finally came to a big tree."

"The closer you get, the warmer the climate is. When he walked to the big tree, the bard was already enjoying the spring breeze, and all his fatigue and hunger disappeared."

"The big bird mentioned by the serpent of wisdom appeared, and the feathers on its chest were so red, oh, it turned out to be a huge robin."

"The robin made a beautiful voice: 'Good, determined, and brave poet, you have seen me, and you are entitled to my treasure.'"

"The bard bowed happily, then looked up and asked, 'Beautiful robin, may I come and see you before I get the treasure? Forgive my presumption, but I'm not for all that is beautiful Both have the deepest yearning.'"

"Robin Kang graciously agreed to the bard's request, she is always willing to draw a happy ending for a beautiful fairy tale."

"The bard came to the robin and praised each other loudly."

"The robin closed his eyes in delight, enjoying the other's praise."

"'Pfft', it suddenly felt a tingling and weakness."

"The bard pierced the robin's chest with a long fang! The blood was flowing freely, and the robin was struggling feebly."

"The robin died in agony, and the bard laughed with joy."

"He took out the bag with the Serpent of Wisdom - 'I'm warm, thank you for letting me out...'"

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

"The bard had robin's blood on his face, and he lifted a stone and smashed it into the bag."

"The serpent of wisdom also died painfully, and the bard laughed with great joy."

"I'm an unparalleled genius!"
