Banshee is a legendary creature, according to legend, it is an elven female with broken wings, after being banished, due to resentment and dissatisfaction, gradually become ugly, rotten and immortal after death, wandering in the dark night, hating all good, and jealous of those beautiful women, the banshee who becomes a ghost often possesses the body of a pregnant woman, squeezes out the soul of the fetus, and she will be lost, but as you grow older, your memory will recover, and gradually recover your demonic power, the banshee has a special ability, That is to absorb the essence of a handsome man and make himself more beautiful.
Yang Yi has been in the fairy tale world for a long time, of course he has heard such legends, but what he didn't expect was that Little Red Riding Hood actually pointed to Sleeping Beauty and said that she was a banshee...... Looking at the sleeping beauty as beautiful as a fairy, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, how much is it deceitful in fairy tales, it is unimaginable, Yang Yi's three views have been subverted again.
Little Red Riding Hood turned around and said quietly, "Now you know why these princes died in the flower beds, right?" The legend of Princess Talia is a conspiracy in itself, in order to attract the fanciful princes to come and tell you a secret, these dead princes have kissed Princess Talia, but they have all been absorbed by her, turned into dried corpses, and finally turned into bones. ”
"When the hundredth prince kisses the Banshee, she will wake up from her slumber, become more beautiful, and become more bewitching and terrifying, the reason why I know this place and come here is because the mission of the family allows us to prevent the princes from approaching the beautiful but evil Banshee, but my family has also changed, and even forgot my mission for a while."
Everyone was quietly listening to Little Red Riding Hood's story, but Little Red Riding Hood suddenly stopped, glanced at Yang Yi, and then at the old woman and the woman, but his eyes stayed on Prince Fred, and suddenly said: "I forgot to tell you, there are ninety-nine princes dead here, as long as the last prince kisses Talia, she will wake up, but only a real prince can kiss Princess Talia, Prince Fred, do you want to try?" ”
"What are you kidding, my brother is dead, it must be because I kissed Talia, I won't send him to death!" Prince Fred rejected Little Red Riding Hood and craned his neck and shouted, "What proof do you say?" At first you said you were the Rose Witch, and now you say that your family's mission is to prevent the prince from getting close to Princess Talia, but the truth is, you didn't stop any prince from getting near the banshee in your mouth, and what you're saying is so different from the legends we've heard that I don't believe you. ”
This time Little Red Riding Hood's eyes moved to Forman, and said softly: "You said that you are a magician and graduated from a magic school, if it is true, you will recognize this sign." With that, he pulled the red robe on his body and revealed his right shoulder, and saw a bright rose tattooed on her shoulder.
The bright red roses, fully blooming, but like a beautiful woman's face weeping, and even a tear dripping from the petals, lifelike, quite three-dimensional and realistic, Forman shouted in surprise: "You are really a rose witch!" ”
"What is the Rose Witch?" Yang Yi asked curiously, he felt that he still knew too little about this world, and he still didn't know what the existence of the Rose Witch was, Fuman's face turned red, and said: "The Rose Witch is a kind white witch, an ancient family, passed down from generation to generation, their existence is to protect love, but love is not only sweet, but also has thorns and tears, so the Rose Witch will tattoo a rose with thorns and tears on her shoulder, which is used to express that love is beautiful with tears." ”
"But, no, the Rose Witch is a legendary witch, if you are the Rose Witch, how can you become a witch again? Is it because your blood is not pure? Also, why are you guarding Princess Talia, you say she's a banshee, how do you know? Didn't everyone die in that fire? How did the news come about? ”
Yang Yi glanced at Forman in surprise, this is what he asked Forman just now, he didn't know the answer, he actually asked Little Red Riding Hood, a tattooed Little Red Riding Hood...... What a fucking world this is, Yang Yi couldn't help but speak, Little Red Riding Hood snorted coldly, "Don't you want to know where I come from?" Then I will tell you. ”
"This princess Talia in your mouth is a banshee, when she was eighteen years old, the demon power in her body awakened, she wanted to become more beautiful and powerful, so she told her father to marry, his father the old king was very doting on her, invited many princes to the castle, wanted to choose a brave prince for his daughter."
"The old king's country is very rich, and the Duke of Talia has been a beauty since he was a child, so too many princes came to the castle, but many princes lost their traces on the way, and even many princes who came to the castle disappeared inexplicably, and the old king did not suspect it at first, thinking that those princes had gone back to their kingdom, but he found his daughter in the evening a few days later, and the prince of the castle came to the private meeting, and saw that the daughter had a strange sucking of the prince of the private meeting into a human."
"The old king was terrible, he didn't know that his daughter was a banshee, and he thought that she was sick with something, and he thought that if he found a wise doctor or a witch, he could cure it, so he found the rose witch who was in the kingdom at that time, which is my ancestor."
"What the old king did not know was that he not only saw the terrible scene that night, but was also quietly seen by the prince's attendants, and ran back to his own country, and told the prince's father, so the prince's father gathered all the knights of the whole country to avenge the prince, and soon killed the castle, and at this time the Rose Witch had just entered the castle......"
It was destined to be a chaotic night, and Talia, the banshee, knew she couldn't get out of it, so she cursed herself...... She cursed herself to sleep forever, but neither fire nor water could hurt him, nor could the sword, nor the beast hurt her...... As soon as a hundred princes find her and kiss her, she will wake up when the hundredth prince kisses her, and at that time, she will become more beautiful and stronger. ”
"The Rose Witch didn't stop all this, she felt very sad, she thought she had failed in her duty, love was used by the banshee, and killed so many people, so she stayed near the castle, hoping to stop the princes from coming to find the banshee......"
"By the way, the fire killed a lot of people, but many people survived, the country perished, and these people who escaped lived together under the leadership of the Rose Witch and became a small village."
Little Red Riding Hood's story seemed reasonable, but Yang Yi still felt that something was wrong, and asked: "No, the Rose Witch and the people who escaped formed a village, in order to prevent the prince from coming to save Princess Talia, the news would definitely not be spread, but the legend still spread, and changed a lot, attracting many princes to come to this cursed place and become victims, how to explain this?" ”
Little Red Riding Hood looked at Yang Yi and nodded: "The old king is not dead, he also escaped, because not long after the incident, there was a wandering poet whose face was burned and blind in the distance, he was telling a story, telling the story of Princess Talia, and since then the legend has spread, and when the Rose Witch knew the story and went to find the old man, she found that the old man was dead, and the Rose Witch speculated that the old man should be the old king, and he doted on his daughter too much, but he didn't know that his daughter was a banshee, In the womb it is not his daughter. ”
This is really a sad story, luring so many princes to come and die one after another, Yang Yi sighed, he felt that the fairy tale world was really dark and damn, it seemed beautiful on the surface, but it covered up so much ugliness,
After the story was finished, Forman nodded, and said to himself: "Then the Rose Witch stayed, wanting to protect this castle cursed by the banshee, you are the descendant of the Rose Witch, but how did you become a witch again?" ”
"This is another story, of course I want to tell you, everyone knows that witches also grow old and die, the first generation of the Rose Witch died when she was ninety-nine years old, in order to continue the mission, she married a man, gave birth to a girl, and then continued, and when the third generation arrived, the blood of the Rose Witch was already very scarce, and she couldn't even feel the power of magic, and the ordinary life made the descendants of the Rose Witch more and more ordinary, and the descendants of the Rose Witch did not stop a few princes, Even I almost forgot the last words of the first generation of Rose Witches. ”
"What's worse is that in the forest opposite the village, near the cursed castle, there is a pack of wolves, the wolves often invade the village, bite people to death, bite animals, this group of wolves is very cunning, they have a leader, they have human intelligence, the village in order to survive, organized people to fight wolves, but every time there are heavy casualties."
"Just when the people were helpless and ready to move the village out of here, a woman stood up, she is the fifth generation of the rose witch, now she has no privileges except the roses on her shoulders, she is just an ordinary girl to be married, but the magic in her body seems to be reviving, she still remembers the mission of her ancestors, begging everyone not to leave, but who wants to listen to her?"
"In desperation, the girl said that she went to deal with the wolves, no one stopped her, no one accompanied her, so this girl, with a short sword, walked into the forest......"
