Chapter 80: The Curse of the Forbidden Island
February 11, 528 at 12:00 a.m
None of Hongying, Marshall, and Frona seemed to hear the sound beyond Rose Ridge. Hongying looked at Marshall's back and froze, and Frona stood behind Hongying and didn't know what to say.
This is a gurgling sound from Hongying's stomach, which makes this embarrassing atmosphere even more embarrassing.
Frona said, "Hongying, and the man, I don't know his name yet. ”
Hongying said to Flona, "That's called Marshall, but I guess if you talk to him, he doesn't necessarily understand." ”
"Yes, Hongying, I'll get you out of here." Flora walked up to them.
"No, it's impossible for humans to leave here." A brownish-red pony emerges from a bramble.
Frona asked, "Why?" They weren't killed by the magic array here, which means they're good people and can leave here. ”
The brown-red pony said, "There is nothing good about humans, and if the Forbidden Island does not kill them, you must kill them." In case their survival disturbs our lives with more people, are you worthy of a mother who desperately protects you? ”
As soon as Frona heard it mention her mother, her eyes suddenly became sad.
The pony didn't stop: "The wings on your back are proof of your identity." ”
Pony suddenly notices that Red Screen is looking at her, and asks Flona, "Why does she keep staring at us?" ”
Frona flapped her wings: "I don't understand what you're talking about. Hongying understands our language, that's why she looks at you. ”
"What?" The pony shook his head, "No way, only the people of Shandan can understand the language of animals." ”
Hongying stood beside Frona: "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, although I know that you hate humans very much, but the magic array here will still hurt a lot of innocent people, and they have no hatred for you." ”
The unfriendliness in the pony's eyes eased slightly, and it walked over to Frona and looked at Hongying: "I think you need to avoid it, I'm going to talk to him alone." ”
Hongying nodded and took two steps back, took a deep breath, and looked at the thorns all around her, and it didn't seem like there was any fruit to eat. She rubbed her belly, which she was clamoring for food, and looked at the two horses from afar, saying something with a serious expression.
"Now we can have a good conversation about your mother. You are the princess of the Shandan Horse Clan, and your mother was a spirit-calling beast known as the God of Liberty before giving birth to you. ”
"The god of liberty? If my mother is really the god of freedom, then why was she caught by Onli? ”
"Because Onli suddenly betrayed the covenant and attacked the kingdom of Shandan, your mother was pregnant at the time, so her power disappeared temporarily. In order to protect her injured companion, your mother is very badly injured and the baby in her belly is gone. Your mother has no way of regaining her strength at the hands of these hateful humans, and she finally conceived you, only to watch you burn to death. So she set the curse of this forbidden island before she died, just to protect you from humans. ”
Frona flapped her wings: "I believe in these two humans. Since I have inherited the power of my mother, I will be the next god of freedom. The god of liberty has no freedom, and you think it's not a ridiculous thing. ”
"I don't care! We don't have a horse clan and we won't agree to you leaving here, and if you do, you're going to step on our corpses. The pony stared at the red glow in the distance, "I really don't understand why you would trust humans like them with lies in their mouths?" ”
The pony walked towards the red glow, and Frona spread her wings to block the pony: "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to kill her."
"You can't kill her!"
"Why?"
"Just can't!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what you said doesn't count." The pony let out a long chirp, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard everywhere.
Frona turned to look at Hongying: "Hongying, run away." ”
Hongying watched the pony running towards her, instinctively spread her legs and ground her weight, clapped her hands on the ground, and a huge red flower lifted herself and Marshall.
Marshall's eyes were red and swollen and he looked at Hongying: "What happened?" ”
Hongying looked at Marshall: "You just squat here." Then he pressed Marshall's head and made him crouch down.
As soon as Marshall squatted down, he began to sneeze non-stop, he rubbed his nose vigorously, and looked at Hongying in pain: "Ah, you really have too much pollen." My nose itches to death. ”
Hongying kicked Marshall lightly: "Why are you still pollen allergies?" What a hassle! Plug your nose and bear with it. ”
The pony looked at the safflower and stopped: "Shandan flower? Who the hell are you? Why did you use Princess Shandan's magic? ”
Marshall pinched his nose and poked his head out to look at the horse below: "Hongying, what's going on?" How are we surrounded by so many horses? ”
Hongying pressed Marshall's head down: "If you don't understand, don't talk yet." ”
Frona ran to the pony: "There's really no need to kill them. ”
The pony asked Hongying again, "Who are you?" Why did you use Princess Shandan's magic? ”
"I said I was a descendant of Princess Shandan, I was born to do it, do you believe it or not?"
Many horses and many old horses looked at the ponies: "Ponies, Shandan flowers are used by Princess Shandan only." Could this girl really be a descendant of the princess. ”
The pony stomped on his hooves hard: "How is that possible?" How could such a coincidence happen in this world? ”
"Then how do you explain that as soon as she appeared, Her Royal Highness's wings grew. Besides, Her Royal Highness the princess really wants to get serious, and there is no way for us to stop it. ”
The pony lowered his head and frowned, "I still can't trust this woman." ”
Hongying stood on the flowers and watched the horses talk to each other, she was already hungry: "Have you discussed it?" Aren't you just worried that if I go out, I'll tell your secrets, then I can not go out for a while, but are you willing to give me something to eat? ”
Frona hurriedly answered: "Yes." Since she doesn't have to go out, there's no need for us to kill them, and we have time to confirm her identity. If she was really the princess you said, wouldn't it be embarrassing to kill her by mistake? ”
The other horses chimed in: "Yes, yes, pony, don't be strong." Anyway, as long as we make sure she's not a princess, then if we don't give them food, they'll starve to death because they can't get out of Rose Ridge. ”
The pony looked at what everyone was saying, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I can leave you alone for the time being." ”
Frona flew up: "Hongying, I'll take you to find some fruit to eat." ”
Marshall looked at Hongying blankly: "Hongying, I think it's okay for you to translate with me what you're talking about?" You look like a madman. ”
Hongying snorted at Marshall, and then said to Flona, "You can take me, just let him stay here alone and wait for me." ”
Frona kept her body steady: "Come on, I can't wait to fly again." ”
Marshall grabbed Hongying's arm: "Why are you going?" ”
Hongying patted Marshall on the shoulder: "You believe me, they won't hurt you, so don't hurt them either, okay?" ”
Marshall bit his lip and held the petals: "Well, I definitely believe you." ”
Hongying rode on Flona, with her legs between the horse's back, leaning forward, her center of gravity forward, feeling the wind coming from all directions.
The huge red shandan flower slowly returned to the ground, and several horses barked twice at Marshall: "Fool, do you understand what we are saying?" ”
Marshall watched the flowers finally disappear, he breathed a sigh of relief, staring blankly at the horses, who exchanged glances with each other: "It shouldn't matter if we bring this fool back, he doesn't understand what we're talking about at all?" ”
Marshall blew his nose and looked at the strange expressions on the faces of the horses: "Are you saying bad things about me, your expressions look weird." ”
"This fool is a little silly, but he feels quite sensitive."
The horse bit the corner of Marshall's coat and pulled him forward.
Marshall asked in a panic, "You guys, where are you going to take me?" Oops, I forgot, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
Marshall watched the horses surround him, and he looked up at the red glow that flew into the sky and sighed deeply.
Flora waited for Red Ying to fly in the sky, and Red Ying looked at the sky and looked at the scenery around her.
The view in the distance is blurry, and it is impossible to see the scenery outside.
Hongying asked, "Frona, how long have you been here?" ”
"I don't know, but I feel like it's been a long time, and I'm doing the same thing every day. So boring. ”
"You only found out today that you are the god of freedom."
"Yes."
"Why do you seem so calm? It's not like the first day I found out. ”
"Do I need to behave like anything?"
Hongying frowned and thought about it, "Do you know what the god of liberty means?" ”
"I don't know."
"No wonder, you don't know." Hongying pouted, "Then do you want to know?" ”
"It doesn't matter, you can say it if you want to."
Hongying suddenly wondered whether to tell Flona: "I think after telling you, you will be entangled in unnecessary trouble." ”
Frona snorted twice, "You deliberately said that to arouse my interest." ”
Hongying pursed her lips and said after a while: "Now that you know your identity and have this pair of wings, you have the right to know these things. ”
"Legend has it that Shandan has three treasures, and collecting all three can get a very powerful force. All those who want to get this power will do everything possible to collect these three treasures. Hongying sighed.
"Why are you sighing?"
"My sister was kidnapped, I don't know how my sister is doing now." Hongying bit her lower lip.
"Kidnapping?"
"They wanted me to trade the Moonshine Flower for it, so I stole it. I escaped from the palace thinking it would be safer to escape here, but I didn't expect to get rid of the pursuit, but I couldn't get out either. ”
"I'm sorry, my companion is forced to die, I really can't help you."
Hongying touched Frona's neck: "It's okay, what is this?" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
A circle of red roses appeared around Flona's neck, hanging from Flona's neck like a necklace.
Hongying guessed: "Is this the scar you have been burned by the fire?" ”
Flona landed at the edge of a lake and looked down at the reflection in the water: "Really, it should be a scar." Flona's expression suddenly became very unwilling and painful, "This is the humiliation that remains on me, constantly reminding me of how tragic my past is." ”
Hongying got off the horse and looked at Frona: "Frona, I know that I am not qualified to comfort you, because I have not experienced your experience. But you have to look forward, you have to do something, you can't dwell on the pain. ”
"It's impossible not to hate humans, but I hate that king even more." Frona stared at Hongying and took two steps back.
"Do you hate me?"
"I've been on the hillside next to the meadow, and I saw you fall on the grass, but after a few days I realized that you weren't starting to disappear like everyone else, and I was curious. I just approached you, smelled you, and then you woke up. I think you're special, and I don't hate you. Flora looked at Hongying.
Hongying lowered her head and looked at the lake and then at the sky: "Then do you know how long I've been here?" ”
"I don't remember very well, there was no night here, but judging by the time of our schedule, it was three days."
Hongying looked at Verona in panic: "So it's been a long time, and I haven't gone back yet......" Hongying knelt on the ground, "It's over...... The little girl must have ......"
Flona looked at Hongying's eyes red in the same panic, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Or I'm going to persuade my companions to let you out."
Hongying looked at Verona with tears in her eyes: "Really? ”
"Impossible, Your Highness Princess. We're not going to let this woman go. "The pony had dragged Marshall to the lake.
Hongying looked at Flona with a little loss in her eyes: "Forget it, you should be with your companions." ”
Frona walked over to the pony: "Pony, can't you really let them go?" If I were a princess, shouldn't you listen to me? ”
The pony said, "Your Highness the Princess, you have no experience, of course you still have to listen to us." ”
"So what do you want to do, and how can you let them go?"
"It's already merciful that I don't kill them, and you still want to do it?" The pony said to the two ponies beside him, "Lock up these two human friends and feed them some fruit every day." ”
Frona was anxious: "Pony, you can't do this!" ”
"These humans are liars, and you have been lied to. Hurry up and get started. ”
Hongying shook her head at Marshall, motioning for him not to resist. Marshall pouted and followed Red Ying obediently into the stables as the horses pushed them into the stable, and the ponies used magic control ropes to tie their hands tightly and then tethered them to their stakes.
Marshall whispered, "Hongying, why don't you resist?" ”
"We'll just sneak away at night, I don't want to embarrass Frona."
"Then don't you think you're embarrassed right now?" Marshall twisted.
Hongying was so excited that a small flame burned the rope.
Hongying spread her hands: "Don't be embarrassed." ”
Marshall had a straight face: "Why do you still have such strong magic power, I don't have any strength at all." ”
"Thanks to Moonlight Flower and Flona's mutual induction, I was able to regain all my magic." Hongying smiled.
The pony threw a few apples into the stable: "Your food for today." ”
Red Ying put her hands behind her back and looked at the pony.
Marshall gritted his teeth: "How can we eat when we are tied, and you are still throwing it on the ground!" ”
The pony ignored Marshall and walked away.
Hongying hurriedly picked up the apple, wiped it on her clothes, and put it in front of Marshall.
Marshall was disgruntled and said, "Why don't you help me untie it?" ”
"I'll let you go when they're going to sleep."
Marshall's eyes widened and he looked at Hongying puzzled: "Why?" ”
"I'd love to."
"You're still mad at me, aren't you?"
"That's right. If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it all. ”
"I'll eat!"
Hongying and Marshall waited anxiously for a long time, it was too boring in the middle, Hongying asked Marshall to stare at the horses, and she would sleep for a while. Marshall stared blankly at the horses, and suddenly remembered that the flute he had with him was missing.
He woke up Hongying: "Hongying, my flute is gone." It must have fallen somewhere. ”
Hongying opened her eyes in a daze: "I see, I didn't see it when I saved you." Why don't you put it away? ”
Marshall frowned and looked at Hongying with some anger: "I'm unconscious, how do I know it's gone!" ”
Hongying sighed, rubbed her eyes, and replied a little perfunctorily: "Then what should we do, we are not familiar with this place at all, how can we find it?" ”
"Be serious, that's a symbol of my status."
"A symbol of your status, well, then we'll look for them when they're all asleep."
"I'm in a hurry, do you want to use magic to probe it first."
Hongying's expression suddenly realized: "Yes, I can try it." ”
Hongying gave it a simple try, and quickly took back her magic power, revealing a very tangled expression.
Marshall asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The magic used to sustain this curse of the Forbidden Island comes from those thorns, they interfere with my perception of this place, and I certainly have no way of detecting your little flute."
"Then you're going to destroy them."
"Isn't there no safe place for the horses?"
"You care so much about these animals." Marshall asked.
"They're not just animals, they're spirit animals. They are spiritual. ”
Marshall raised his eyebrows and said, "Hongying, it's safe for them here, but what about those innocent people?" Flora is the god of freedom, and you should set him free, not hide here. ”
Hongying frowned and looked at them through the gap between the woods: "Freedom is not up to me, it is their choice whether they can get out or not." They chose to lock themselves up here. ”
"If you don't be this wicked person, you will be a victim. Think of the little girl, think of Tianyu. It just made you break the formation, and didn't let you kill them. ”
Hongying gritted her teeth and made a choice.
