Chapter 725 The unfinished story
The **** squinted his eyes and asked Shade in front of him with a smile. His face was wrinkled, just like an old man walking on the street asking a boy he met by chance if he wanted to eat candy.
Shad turned to look at Miss Olanold, who nodded carefully and said very respectfully:
“God, I am preparing to build a library to assist my teacher in collecting knowledge. Please give me your blessing within the scope allowed.”
As expected, it was this wish that made Sha De feel like witnessing history again. Of course it was a pity to give up his wish, but at this moment he knew that he had done the right thing.
“This wish is really good, it is a wish that I can realize.”
The kind-looking old man smiled and nodded:
“I admire your determination very much, and I can see how excellent the library you want to build is. It is very good. I am a descendant of the longleaf elves, and I am willing to bless you.”
“Longleaf Elf” is a division of the ancient Elf race, which is mentioned in Shad’s Elf Knowledge.
He stretched out his free hand, and dots of white light were gathering. But suddenly he glanced at Shade and took back his hand. He casually pulled out his pipe from the air, smiled and asked:
“If you want to build the library you want, simple blessing may not be enough for you. So, do you want more blessings and power? I can give it to you.”
The witch of Zaras was slightly surprised, while Miss Olanode was frightened:
“God, I don’t have enough to pay.”
God’s blessings are never free, and Shade knows this best.
“What I want is very simple. I am the guardian of the library, but I also like to collect stories. Give me some interesting stories. Those that have never existed in this world should not be in the past or present and the story of future existence.”
Took a drag on his pipe and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. In the swirling smoke, Shade seemed to see an illusion of the great library of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. Although not exactly the same, it is so familiar.
“I originally just wanted to give you a simple blessing, but your determination moved me. Now I give you a chance, mortal, you can choose to try it.”
The **** in gray robe smiled and raised his eyebrows:
“This is a rare opportunity.”
“I”
Miss Olanold wanted to speak, but Miss Samuel behind her grabbed her sleeve:
“Think before you speak, you know what the current situation means!”
She adjusted her glasses and spoke quickly, her face flushed with excitement:
“Knowledge that should not exist in the past, present, or future. This is the most taboo knowledge. Brienne Oranod, since God has made a request to you, what you can obtain after completing the request is absolutely Beyond your imagination.”
“Forbidden Knowledge”
The two witches were discussing in a low voice, and Shade, who was running out of time, looked at the gray-robed **** sitting on the pile of old books like a throne. The latter looked at him with a smile. .
“Please let me answer for her.”
Xia De pointed at himself.
“Are you sure?”
Of course, because no one in this world knows more stories than strangers that the world has never seen before.
The two witches behind him couldn’t see Shade’s expression, but the gods could. ?Touching his beard, he is like a wise man thinking in an oil painting:
“I will only give you this opportunity once. If you help her, no matter what, you will not be able to get the knowledge from me about enhancing time perception until you discover the forbidden secret.”
Xia De frowned slightly:
“Did you know? I once almost had my heart broken and died in order to help a woman I didn’t know on the street find her child; I also turned around and faced the sky in order to help a girl I had only met once. The shadow of the evil god. I don’t want to be a saint who helps anyone, but I will never hesitate to help those in need within my ability. What’s more, the witch over there is my friend.”
“So, do you have any interesting stories?”
The two did not pay attention to the witch behind them at all in their conversation. This was not a place for them to interrupt.
“this”
There are actually many options, and Shade is happy to share the story of his hometown with the gods in front of him. He glanced around casually, then looked at the ice coffin and the red-haired girl with his tail wrapped around her waist, and immediately had an idea in his mind:
“Would you like to hear an interesting fairy tale? That is indeed a story that should not appear in this world.”
The gray-robed sage smiled kindly:
“What story?”
“The story of princesses, sleep and kisses.”
Xia De said with a smile, and then he was startled. The figure of the blonde girl who had been appearing in the study every Saturday for more than a month, and the appearance of the princess holding the spindle, immediately jumped to his eyes.
He took a deep breath. The chaotic time was continuous for Shade, and he touched history again:
“Ha, I see, I knew there weren’t that many coincidences.”
The old man wearing a pointed hat in front of him showed a somewhat unpredictable smile:
“You seem to understand something.”
“Yes, and it looks like you understand it, so do you want to listen to the story?”
Shad made a gesture of invitation.
“Of course, sit down and talk, everyone, sit down.”
The old man wearing a pointed hat blew out a puff of smoke towards the bonfire. The smoke made the fire light a little blurry:
“Surrounding the campfire and listening to children tell stories is what I look forward to most.”
Both Miss Samuel and Miss Olanold didn’t understand why the atmosphere became a little weird. They wanted to ask Shade, but Shade just shook his head:
“Sit down, ladies, please sit down and listen to me tell a story about a princess and a prince. I don’t have much time.”
The **** left the pile of old books, holding a staff in his left hand and a pipe in his right hand, and sat on the ground in front of the campfire. Shade is sitting on the left side of?, and to the left are Miss Samuel and Miss Olanode, but the two witches are close to each other.
No one spoke, but looked at the bonfire surrounded by them. In the flames swaying because of the smoke from the god, the fire became brighter and brighter until a grand palace setting appeared. This is not Shade controlling the flames, but the guardian **** of the library helping Shade, telling the entire story that follows.
The scenes in the flames became more and more realistic, until the faces of mortals and gods turned red. Cover up the chill and cover up all the troubles. It is indeed a pleasant thing to sit around the campfire and tell stories about your distant hometown.
Xia De squinted at the bonfire, thinking about the story connecting the past and the future, and its meaning to his life:
“A long time ago, in a distant kingdom, a queen gave birth to a princess.”
The flames formed the palace, and middle-aged men and women holding babies were showing the “treasures” in their hands to the dense crowd outside the palace.
“The king invited people from all over the country and the twelve witches who lived in the Black Forest to come to the feast, but he did not invite the old witch who lived in the Black Forest.”
The scene in the flames was divided into two halves. One half showed the beautiful witches in the banquet hall blessing the newborn princess, and the other half showed the terrifying witches in the forest brewing potion.
The flames of the bonfire continued to splash outside, illuminating the four people sitting in the bonfire. Shade’s voice was calm. The gray-robed **** squinted his eyes and enjoyed the tobacco in his hand. Miss Samuel frowned and looked at the flames, and Miss Olanold tilted her head and looked at Shade.
“So, after the twelve witches offered their blessings to the princess, the witch imposed a vicious curse of fate – when the princess turns sixteen, she will touch the spindle and fall asleep forever!”
As Shade raised his voice, the bonfire actually burst into flames and shot directly into the sky, even engulfing the yellow moon summoned by Miss Olanode. The exploding bonfire not only spread upwards, but even spread to all sides, until it almost drowned the people around the bonfire.
The wind and snow outside can no longer be heard at all. Feeling the extremely hot temperature in front of them, everyone is staring at the scene in the flames——
The flame constructed a life-size, lifelike young princess, even somewhat similar to the appearance of [Desire] in front of Shade. She carried the candlestick and walked up the attic stairs constructed of flame. And in the flames on the top floor, facing the huge yellow moon, there is a textile machine.
“This is the loom that represents destiny.”
Xia De said softly, and the princess in the flames also walked to the top floor. In the flickering firelight, the princess and the loom were enlarged until they occupied the entire bonfire. The princess holding the oil lamp stretched out her finger and touched the spindle of the loom.
“Just as the witch cursed, the princess fell, but she did not die, but fell into eternal sleep.”
Shad paused, because his whole body was already wrapped in white mist. The mist seemed to seep out from the bonfire in front of him, and with just the effort of lowering his head, it almost completely enveloped him.
“This story is not finished yet. Sage in gray robe, please allow me to tell it next time.”
“Of course, see you next time.”
The old man nodded.
The white mist completely enveloped Shade and took him away. At the same time, the **** sitting in front of the bonfire also disappeared, leaving only the shrine on the pile of old books, as if he had never left at all.
“It feels like witnessing an epic.”
After everything calmed down, Miss Samuel said softly, looking at the bonfire in front of her, her glasses reflecting the flickering light of the fire:
“Bryony, is he really here to witness our story?”
Miss Olanold shook her head and waved her hand to control the flames. Shade’s lifelike appearance appeared in the fire:
“The teacher said that it is us who are witnessing his story.”
