v2 Chapter 432： scary guess

Reading this, Stephanie raised her head, her eyes were clearly shocked, she looked at Sean, trying to find an answer.

But Sean just shook his head slightly and motioned her to continue reading.

"The bard can't stand laughing, he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish."

"Meet the end of the world and trample the end of the world underfoot."

"Every explorer is full of **,** that sustains them,** gives them all their motivation--a wise bard recognizes this at the first test, but his ** Far beyond the imagination of the serpent of wisdom and the robin."

"The bard happily took all the treasures from the top of the mountain, and his little sparrow shouted excitedly over his shoulder: 'It's all mine! It's all mine! Even the king—no, I'm the king of the new world !'"

"Just as the bard was about to leave, he found that the blood oozing from the robin and the serpent of wisdom was gradually merging. When we were together, the whole world shook like it was about to collapse."

"The blood is intertwined to form a huge black gem. The thick black mist seems to be alive around the gem. The blue and endless sky is like a hole, and a strange hole is drilled in the hole. and then melted into the gem."

"The bard is not afraid, he just looks greedily at the gem, he knows it must be the most valuable treasure!"

"He wants to take this gem, but the little sparrow can't think of a way."

"The bard finally used his ingenuity to remove the shard from the black gem, and then the mutilated black gem disappeared."

After reading this, it was the scene where the bard held the black diamond crystal in the illustration. It seemed a little weird at first, but after reading the above stories, even Stephanie, who was so heartbroken, felt that this illustration was weird.

"The bard took all the treasure and the shard of the black gem, and the world was shaking—"

"The mountains and rivers dry up, the flowers and plants wither, and the beautiful peach garden becomes pitch black—"

Stephanie turned to the next page she hadn't read, and her brows furrowed all of a sudden.

What catches the eye is another illustration. The yellowed parchment outlines the shadows of black cloaks one after another. There is a large transparent mouth open in the sky, and among them is a black vortex that is frantically surging. At the same time, there are all kinds of black things in the whole illustration, which seem to be some kind of strange dark magical creatures.

"Dementors and the Mouth of Silence..." Stephanie looked up at Sean.

Sean nodded, and when he saw the illustration, he was sure that this black diamond-shaped crystal was the obsession.

Stephanie continued: "...the bard walks on a happy pace, and he is very satisfied with the new world."

"He played with the shards of the black gem and mastered one powerful ability after another."

"Black monsters flew with him, and the bard looked around and saw the little sparrow on his shoulder."

"'Bird, bird, worthy of my soul, you have done so well,' praised the bard."

"But the little sparrow is a little weak, the world is collapsing, and its strength also comes from this world-"

"The bard thought for a while, then stabbed the black gem shard into the little sparrow's chest."

"The little sparrow screamed and disappeared."

"Then, a dark figure appeared. He looked exactly like the bard, but was completely black. The black bard said happily: 'Oh, this feels good.'"

"'From now on, you are another me!' laughed the bard."

"The black bard laughed and turned into mist and penetrated into the body of the deity."

"The world is shaking more and more, the bard hastened his pace to return to the city, he saw the collapsed temple, saw the withered mountains, saw the dry quagmire, and saw those who had seen but now The dead are crying out."

"This scene makes the bard want to dance with joy, and he dances the war dance of his hometown and escapes the world with joy."

"Oh, the exit is in sight, and the bard smiles contentedly."

"Ah, he suddenly remembered that he was still a bard, and he had a moving voice."

"Stepping on the dry ground, dark monsters were dancing around. He took a deep breath of the fiery air with the smell of sulfur and sang a moving song."

notice

to all those involved,

This notice,

The sparrow will be judged,

In the next bird court.

Stephanie's voice fell silent, and that's what "The Poet and the Greedy Serpent of Wisdom" is all about.

The girl closed the book, with deep doubts in her eyes, she looked at Sean.

Sean kept frowning and brooding, until the library became empty because of the disappearance of the sound, and then he raised his head.

"You see that too?" he asked.

Stephanie nodded: "It's weird... The bard has gone through seven trials in total, and those seven trials are the seven guilts."

"Yes, the gold and silver treasures in the first level are [greed], the beautiful women in the second level are [**], the rich food and cooks in the third level are [gluttony], and the fourth level is [gluttony]. The rude person in Guan wants to provoke the poet, that is [Rage], the fifth level, the poet meets someone who is like him but better than him, that is [jealousy], the sixth level, wants to make the tired The poet stopped moving forward, that's [lazy]..." Sean said softly.

Stephanie's brows furrowed: "In the story, the test of the last level was driven away by the Snake of Wisdom. It served as the last test, and that level should have been..."

Sean raised his eyebrows: "Yes, the last level should have been [arrogance]."

Stephanie looked at Sean, but her eyes didn't change. She leaned gently against the bookshelf, tilted her head, and had a cuteness that didn't match her usual temperament.

"Do you think that the level of testing in this story points to a few of our culprits?"

Sean frowned: "It's a story after all, it's not necessarily accurate, it might even be false - but I think the story is true to a certain extent, and it may use this dark fairy tale of what really happened at the time. way described.”

Stephanie also nodded in agreement: "When I read it, I felt that this story might have happened a long time ago."

Sean also leaned on the bookshelf, and by the way, pressed back a copy of "The Witches" that was trying to stick out his tongue to lick his cheek.

He propped up half of his face and thought.

In the case that this story is true, the obsession is indeed a great thing, although the specific source of this thing is not known, and even the story does not describe how the bard took down the obsession.

But it can be clearly seen that those who hold the obsession can indeed control dark creatures, and even have the ability that Sean has never seen before - that little sparrow is the projection of the poet's soul after entering the new world, and the obsession The fusion of the mind body and the little sparrow actually created a thing similar to a dark clone.

Another point worth thinking about is, is this obsession in my hand the piece that the bard got? If not, how did the original owner of the second obsession body get this thing, and would there be a third or fourth piece?

Of course, Sean has another bold idea.

He raised his head, just in time to meet Stephanie's gaze.

The girl looked at him calmly: "I have a guess."

"I have one too."

"Do we think the same thing?"

"It looks like it."

Stephanie pursed her lips: "Is it possible that the bard really exists, and..."

Sean took a deep breath: "He has lived until now..."

Even, what Sean didn't say was: That bard is the leader of the returnees!

The two looked at each other again and exhaled a long breath at the same time.

If the bard really lived to this day, how terrible is the other party?

There was silence in the empty library for a while, and Stephanie said again: "Just keep it as a guess, and even if the guess is true, the bard must be in a bad state, otherwise, he would have ruled the world long ago. ."

"That's right," Sean nodded, "but there's so much information in this story, like—what does the serpent of wisdom stand for, and what does the robin stand for?"

"And that weird world," Stephanie added.

"I'm a little confused about this, I may know that world," Sean spread his hands, "Have you heard of Blurred Illusion?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head, her eyes showing the desire for knowledge.

Sean simply took a moment to explain the blurred vision to Stephanie, and the other party nodded thoughtfully after listening to it: "So that's it... According to your explanation, combined with this story - that world is very It might be a blurry fantasy."

"Yes, the descriptions match," Sean said.

Moreover, he thought of what he had said and displayed when he transformed into Grindelwald to help deal with memories, and then one of the returnees, the invincible Andros.

The reason why their returnees came back was because of the collapse of the blurred illusion.

This coincides with the image of the world collapsing in the story.

The bard caused the collapse of the blurred illusion, and the souls of the deceased who originally existed there had no choice but to escape, and finally became returners in half-ghost form.

But if you look at it this way, the returnee may exist much earlier than Sean imagined. But according to the news from Grindelwald, the returnees have only slowly risen in recent decades.

The returnee...the returnee...

Sean narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that the reason why they have slowly raised their heads in recent decades is because they have been on the road to "return", they are special magical beings who are not accepted by reality and hell, so they have been stuck at the "gate" .

And did the bard also encounter the same predicament?

Even...he hasn't gotten out of trouble yet?

Sean pressed his temple with some distress. The guess seems reasonable at present, but the guess is just a guess after all and needs to be confirmed.

Identity, identity, he now most needs information that can confirm the identity of these pronouns.

Who is the serpent of wisdom, who is the robin, why did the death of the two lead to the collapse of the blurred illusion, and who is the bard?

How did these seven guilts of himself get mixed into the story, and did the [arrogance] that resided in his body also came to his body because of this story?

Stephanie read it again over there, and she said softly, "I also care about the last nursery rhyme."

Sean nodded, what exactly does that weird nursery rhyme symbolize?

Stephanie said while comparing the nursery rhyme: "It's strange that this is the verdict of the bird court, the sparrow killed the robin, this nursery rhyme is about the trial of the sparrow, but at the end."

She flipped through the book and showed it to Sean:

"notice

to all those involved,

This notice informs that the sparrow will be judged,

In the next bird court. "

Sean frowned and said, "The sparrow is the embodiment of the bard's soul in the blurred illusion, but the sparrow has already been tried once, why is there another trial in the next bird court?"

"That's something worth noting, and the birds inside are weird," Stephanie said, with a somewhat uncertain look on her face. "It doesn't feel good."

"You mean, the birds are actually... accomplices?" Sean raised his head sullenly.

"Yes, the birds may all be accomplices... No! We forgot a little!" Stephanie raised her head suddenly.

"Um?"

The girl quickly flipped through the book.

"Author, who is the author of this book?"
