Chapter 216: Another Descendant of the Old Gods
William was silent for a moment, then said in a low tone.
"I met a strange person!"
"Oh, let's hear it!" The old witch still had a narrow smile on her face.
After suffering such a big loss at William's hands, the old witch was still happy to see William deflated.
William didn't care about the old witch's slightly mocking expression, but carefully recalled the old palace maid and said with a serious face.
"A woman, an old woman in a palace maid's costume!"
"She struck me as weird!"
"She has no magical powers, she is not a wizard, and her physique is very ordinary, but she is surprisingly agile and able to dodge my attacks!"
"Also, she has a very strange quality, and it is also the point that I don't understand the most! It's just that she was standing there, but I didn't notice her, so I naturally ignored her! ”
"That's how I was followed by her, if it didn't feel right, I might have been followed all the way here by her!"
When William first began to speak, the old witch still looked casual.
But as William spoke, the old witch's face became more and more grim.
She asked William very seriously, "You weren't followed by her here, did you?" ”
William shook his head and said with a calm face, "Of course not. I found her halfway through and I beat her away! I'm sure no one will track me down! Our whereabouts are still safe! ”
William said the end, and his eyes fell on Princess Elizabeth, who was unconscious at his feet.
Looking at the appearance of about fourteen or fifteen years old, the complexion is snow-white and ruddy, and the fluffy blonde hair is sprinkled on the shoulders, although it is not as stunning as Snow White, but it is also a rare beauty.
"Hmm!" The old witch's voice drew William's attention back.
William looked at the old witch in thought, frowned, and asked, "Do you know who she is?" ”
The old witch shook her head.
This made William's face gloomy.
This is an unknown opponent!
After obtaining the Magic Mirror, William has rarely encountered such a situation.
William didn't like that feeling.
He thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered the old palace maid's pair of winged water shoes that impressed him, so he said, "By the way, that old palace maid has a very strange pair of shoes!" ”
"Shoes? What shoes? The old witch was stunned when she heard this, and then asked.
"A pair of water shoes! On each side of the water shoes, there are wings on each side! Yes, shoes with wings! William pursed his lips and said, if it weren't for these shoes, the old palace maid would never be able to dodge his attack at the last moment.
"Shoes with wings?" The old witch's brows furrowed, she didn't expect William to encounter such trouble when he went out.
I thought it was a sure thing.
The Principality of Estonia is only a small country, and it stands to reason that the small country does not have too great extraordinary power.
And with William's extraordinary physique and strength, as well as magic and undisclosed hole cards that are not inferior to her, entering and exiting this kind of small king's palace is a little troublesome at most, and the difficulty should not be very high!
Who knew to provoke this kind of thing back?
These secular monarchs should not be underestimated! This thought flashed through the old witch's heart, and she put her focus on the old palace maid that William had spoken of.
"Shoes with wings? Shoes with wings? The old witch walked up and down the house irritably, her face ugly.
William looked at her silently.
Suddenly, the old witch's eyes widened, and she looked at William sharply, and asked, "You said she was standing there, but you just couldn't find her?" ”
William nodded.
"You said you didn't feel the fluctuations in her magic, which means that her hidden ability is not witchcraft, right?" The old witch asked William again.
William thought about it seriously and nodded.
"You say her shoes have wings?" The old witch asked William very seriously.
Although he had said it many times, William nodded in the face of the old witch's more inquiries.
After receiving all the positive replies from William, the old witch's face flashed a hint of redness, and she said a little excitedly, "That's right! I think I know who she is? ”
"Who is she?" William's eyes froze, and he immediately asked.
"It's just a possibility!" The old witch said again.
"What the hell is going on?" William looked at the old witch with a serious face, his eyes fixed.
The old witch snorted lightly as if William had been bothered, and then said, "I guess that this old palace maid you met is very likely to be the descendant of a great god left in the human world!" ”
"Great gods? You mean the old gods? William's heart moved, and he asked.
The old witch glanced at William with a vicious look, corrected William's mistake and said, "I will never allow you to offend those great beings at will!" ”
Well, I forgot that the ancestor of this old witch was also an old god, Hekate, the goddess of the moon! William said to himself, although he scoffed at what the old witch said, but there was no need to annoy the old fellow with these little things at this time.
So William paused, took the initiative to change the topic, and asked, "You said that the old palace maid is a descendant of the gods?" Which deity is it? ”
"I guess she is most likely one of the twelve great gods, the god of commerce, travelers, thieves and livestock, and the messenger of the gods, the god of concealment, the son of Zeus, the great king of gods, and Maia, the goddess of storms, Hermes!" The old witch said in a reverent tone.
It turned out to be this god! William said in his heart.
The twelve main gods of Greece are famous, and William still has some impression of the name Hermes, of course, as a modern person, a modern Chinese, it is difficult to gain his respect!
However, William did not understand a little, and he asked the old witch, "How do you think that this old court maid is a descendant of Hermes?" ”
"You can't go wrong! You can't go wrong! "The old witch looked a little excited," said the old witch, "It is rumored that Hermes was dressed in a long robe and a shawl, and that he wore a hat, sometimes a helmet-shaped hat with wings, and that he was wearing flying shoes and holding a short staff for coiling snakes. He brings dreams, is the watchman of the night, the thief outside the door, the first of the immortals to show kindness. ”
"So, by virtue of the fact that the old maid wore a pair of winged water shoes at her feet, you took her to be a descendant of Hermes. Honestly, I think it's a bit too sloppy! William shook his head and said his opinion, "You wouldn't think those water shoes were the rumored Hermes flying shoes, would you?" ”
"I'll admit that those shoes are pretty good, but compared to the artifact used by the legendary Shendi, the gap is still very large. It's the same distance between the sea and the sky! ”
