Volume 2: Back in Time Chapter 87: The Story of Medusa
Bai Ye took a closer look, and most of the people in the team had energy fluctuations on their bodies, whether strong or weak, and it seemed that they should be Western samurai.
There are only two situations in which so many people protect these carriages, one is that the person in the carriage is a noble nobleman, these people are his guards, and the other is that these people are mercenaries hired by the owner of the carriage, mercenaries are a very common profession in the golden world, they are employed by people and are ordered to protect the life and finances of their employers.
"I am Hegel, the leader of the dragon mercenary group, there are often robbers on this road, and there are about dozens of miles away from the col in front of you, where there are often wandering monsters, our young lady sees you walking alone, and is afraid that you will be bad for the bad people's poisonous hands, so let me invite you to go with you. ”
"Oh?" Bai Ye groaned slightly, and was about to politely refuse, but who knew that an impatient voice came from the carriage carport: "I said Hegel, why do you talk so much nonsense, he will come if he wants to come, and if he doesn't come, some people are willing to die, so it's no wonder that others." ”
Hegel looked at Bai Ye embarrassedly, Bai Ye smiled and shook his head and was about to turn away, when a woman's voice came from the carriage again: "This friend, I'm really sorry, he can't speak, don't worry, if you don't dislike it, go to the carriage and take a rest, right?"
As soon as the woman's voice entered Bai Ye's ears, Bai Ye felt that his body was struck by lightning, and the foot that was just about to be lifted suddenly froze there, and the feeling of the voice was so familiar, and a well-behaved figure suddenly appeared in Bai Ye's mind:
"Wan Yangxue, there is the power of ice and cold in your perception, for the teacher to pass on your Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Sealing Technique, you listen carefully, you are responsible for retreating and breaking off this trip to Fengdu!"
"I'll borrow your hand to perform a 10,000-mile ice sealing technique to freeze this waterhole, and you carefully feel the movement trajectory of the power of ice and snow!"
·············
After a slight hesitation, Bai Ye bowed to the carriage and saluted, "Then thank you, this young lady." ”
"Some people are really cheeky, let me come......" The disgusting voice came out again, but this time it was interrupted by the woman before she could finish speaking: "Cousin, how can you say that." The first speaker heard the woman's displeasure and did not reply.
"Hey, little brother, come and sit in this carriage, an old man with white hair in an open carriage behind him is graciously invited. ”
Bai Ye hugged his fists and thanked him, got into the carriage behind, Hegel saw that Bai Ye was already seated, and shouted "Go...", the convoy began to move slowly again.
There were a total of five people in the carriage that Bai Ye was riding, excluding the old man who had just spoken, as well as three middle-aged men in mage robes, and an old man with the same white hair.
"Hello guests from afar, my name is Durkheim, and this one of my ages is my good friend Kakir, and these three stinky boys are our apprentices. ”
Bai Ye smiled at them and nodded: "In the next white night." ”
The overly brief answer obviously did not satisfy the old man, he had already noticed from the appearance of the white night, although the binding force between the three worlds was not as strong as before, but it was still rare for people to dare to wear oriental clothes unscrupulously in the golden world.
You must know that it means that you have issued a challenge like a magician in the entire golden world, so the old man then asked: "I don't look like you are dressed like a person here, I have seen an oriental warlock from the Kyushu world before, he is the same as yours, are you also from the Kyushu world?"
Bai Ye smiled and nodded, seeing that Bai Ye confirmed his guess, the smile on the old man's face was immediately replaced by surprise.
Kakiel, who had not spoken, was also slightly moved, although it was said that the gates between the worlds would open every once in a while, and some civilians could pass there after paying a certain fee, but this was only a matter of recent decades, and in the past, if you wanted to pass through the gate of the world, you had to have extremely strong strength.
At this moment, a soul power that Bai Ye felt climbed up his body, and Bai Ye didn't speak at the moment, just as if he didn't know anything, with his strength it was not at all something that a magician of Durkheim's level could detect.
After an instant, the soul power returned in vain, and Durkheim said: "Little brother, don't be surprised when you say it, I checked your body just now, and I didn't find any power fluctuations, so you have to be more careful when you travel alone without the ability to protect yourself." ”
Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the other party's approach to probing himself was not fair enough, but he was able to admit it calmly afterwards, and he was still quite concerned about himself, since jumping off the Yin and Yang Realm ten thousand years ago, Bai Ye was like a wounded lion, enclosing himself in a small space, watching the wound alone, and now suddenly there was a person he didn't know to express concern for himself, and Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a little more good about this kind old man in his heart.
Bai Ye nodded gratefully and asked, "May I ask you, old man, do you know who the woman who spoke just now is?"
"She's Serena, the daughter of Duke Tusman, who followed his cousin on a pilgrimage to the seaside, and it was not about to be the annual Nativity Day, so she hurried back to the royal capital, and the flag on the front car had the coat of arms of the Tusman family on it. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Bai Ye twice in an extremely strange way, and said to himself inexplicably: "Miss likes the mystery and smooth introverted of oriental men the most...... Tsk......"
How could Bai Ye not know what Durkheim meant, and after a chill in his heart, he hurriedly looked up in the direction Durkheim said and forgot about it, and sure enough, there was a huge flag on the carriage in front, and the flag was printed with a monster with a sheep's body and tiger teeth and human claws, the monster had no eyes, a big head and a big mouth. It's like the fourth brother's own sin guardian god.
"How can the portrait of the fourth brother himself appear here, and it is still regarded as a totem of the family?" Just when Bai Ye was puzzled, the carriage suddenly stopped, a little boy jumped down from the carriage, and ran towards the carriage that Bai Ye was sitting in, the child looked like he was eight or nine years old, and he was extremely handsome, looking at the little boy who ran over, Bai Ye couldn't help but think of Wharton in the small fishing village, and the girl Zhiqing who was as kind as Xia Xin, Durkheim turned his head in time and said to Bai Ye playfully" This is Miss Serena's brother. ”
"Grandpa Durkheim, will you tell me a story?" said the little boy, who skillfully climbed into the carriage and put his arms around Durkheim's neck.
"Good... Master Leeds, what do you want to hear this time?" Durkheim seemed to like this little boy very much, and after thinking about it, he said to himself: "Will I tell you a story about Medusa this time?"
"Yes, yes," the little boy clapped his hands happily.
"A long, long time ago, in the era when the Titans were not declining, there was a stunning woman named Medusa. Men are attracted to her, and women are jealous of her.
But Medusa loves snakes, and snakes like her. Wherever she went, she was accompanied by snakes. However, in those days, snakes were considered to be very inauspicious things, the embodiment of demons.
So for a while, there were different opinions. The men hated the vicious serpents, and the women began to spread the legend that Medusa was a disciple of Satan.
Rumors spread, and finally one day, everyone decided to burn Medusa to death.
The kind-hearted Medusa wept secretly, and no one could hear her except the whining wind.
The cold snake body rubbed against the instep of her feet, licking her tears dry.
So Medusa prayed to Zeus: "Lord, I don't want to be burned to death, but I don't want to be separated from my friends, what should I do?";
Zeus, the chief god, said to her, "Son, sleep." When you wake up, you'll be protected by me. ”
So Medusa went to sleep peacefully.
Early in the morning, Medusa was woken up by a noisy crowd outside the door. People shouted: Burn the demons!
Medusa was horrified to find that the snake that accompanied her was gone. The sun shone into the room, and Medusa realized that her dear friends, snakes who were regarded as demonic incarnations, had grown on her head instead of her hair.
Before Medusa could recover from her panic, the angry crowd smashed the thin wooden door, and they saw Medusa curled up in the corner of the bed shivering.
At a glance. The first and last look.
In an instant, all those who saw Medusa were turned to stone. The people who wanted to come and see what was going on turned to stone one by one......
The few who were left ran away, shouting, "Devil, devil!!" Medusa was stunned, she didn't know why.
At this moment, suddenly Zeus's voice rang out: "Medusa, I have fulfilled your request. Medusa slowly stood up, walked over to the statue, and stroked the statue's face with a frightened expression, tears rolling down her eyes.
Stone statue or Medusa, whose heart is more painful? Zeus, who did he save?
"Lord, let them burn me to death!" Medusa cried.
Zeus turned leisurely and walked away: "You know what, Medusa? ”
This is the end of the story, Durkheim did not say what happened afterwards, and perhaps he did not know.
The little boy known as Master Leeds was surprisingly quiet after listening to the story, and muttered, "Medusa is so pitiful." ”
"yes. Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, although she has the ability to take other people's lives at any time, but Medusa is destined to be lonely all her life, think about how she is not like this, if it is not for her own natural ability, she will not go to the Tiger Beetle Pass, nor will she go to the back mountain, so that many people will not die.
If he was to give up his supreme mana and return to Wangduan Mountain now, and listen to the birds singing in the forest every day, he would definitely be willing, but how could God give him the opportunity to choose again? Some things are like this, if you accidentally take a step forward, you will never go back.
