Chapter 65: The Basilisk That Has Long Died
A simple story may reveal another meaning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wu Ming began to become cautious, he put aside the eldest of the three brothers, and asked again: "Tell me the story of the second brother, you have to be detailed!" ”
The second of the three brothers returned home with the resurrection power of the stone, and he turned the stone three times to the right to resurrect the woman he loved. And in the following days, when he was full of hope, he stayed with this woman. He slowly discovered that the so-called hope was actually the real despair..."
After the second story was told, Wu Ming was silent again.
If the eldest of the three brothers, the hidden message is that a group of beings who have benefited from the hands of the gods have destroyed the Elemental Age. Then in the story of the second child, it is likely to be equally plausible, and there is another meaning hidden under the words.
"Hope, despair, the stone that turns three times to the right."
In the story of the second child, the focus is on hope and despair, and the connecting point is the stone that has been endowed with the ability to be resurrected.
Wu Ming couldn't help but guess that maybe in this story, the second generation was not referring to people at all, but a scene at that time.
For example, the elemental mages of the ancient times may have received something from the gods, and they have sealed it as something of hope. But in the end, the ancient elemental mages were destroyed, and it was then that they realized that hope was where despair lies.
What this thing is, Wu Ming only relies on a few words, and there is no way to know at all.
But he guessed that maybe it had something to do with the stone, and that it had been obtained by the hands of the fake gods. After all, the stone in this story comes from the Grim Reaper, and perhaps the Grim Reaper is the general name of the gods, or the person in charge of the plan.
Wu Ming tapped his fingers on the table, exhaled after a long time, and said, "Tell me about the third child in the story, what he did in this story, and what happened in the end." ”
"Death promised the three brothers that each would receive a treasure. And the third of the three brothers is the smartest and most vigilant. He didn't believe that the Grim Reaper would be so kind, so the third child asked the Grim Reaper for a treasure that could hide from the Grim Reaper's detection. Forced by the agreement between the two parties, the god of death was helpless, cut off the cloak on his body, and gave it to the third child as a reward.
At the end of the story, the eldest and second are both killed by death, and the third relies on this cloak to escape the pursuit of death again and again. In the end, when the third child had lived for a long time, he took off the cloak of death, handed it over to his son, and chose to face death calmly. ”
"The boss is dead, it's the unloading and killing the donkey. The second child is dead, and he is to blame. Wait, in the story, is it clearly stated that the third child is dead? ”
Wu Ming couldn't wait to ask, while Hermione thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "It is not said in the story, it is only said that the third child gave the cloak to his offspring, and he calmly chose to face death." ”
"That's it!"
Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and from the analysis of the story, the boss should be a group of existences that have received the benefits of the gods, responsible for exterminating the Elemental Era, and were unloaded and killed donkeys.
The second is the elemental mages who chose to believe in the gods in the Elemental Age, and after they accepted the gift, they found that the gift was not hope but despair.
As for the last third child, Wu Ming felt that this should be a group of wise mages, who did not really believe in the gods, but conspired with the gods and tigers, and finally succeeded in hiding.
As for the end of the story, it is said that after the third child lived for a long time, he chose to hand over the cloak to his descendants and face death himself.
Wu Ming felt that it should be these people, who had the qualifications to face the gods directly, and gave up hiding. And to hand over the cloak to the descendants to avoid death, it should be that they have no foolproof solution, and finally choose to let the junior mages continue to hide.
Of course, this is just Wu Ming's speculation, and with the current clues, he can only barely analyze these things.
But that's enough, at the very least, Wu Ming roughly knows who the enemy is, who cut off the path of the elemental mage.
"Very nice story, I love it!" Wu Ming spoke after a long time, and said to Hermione with heartfelt thanks.
Hearing Wu Ming's thanks, Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Does this story help you?" ”
"Yes..."Wu Ming didn't pretend, but nodded affirmatively, and said, "I decided, in order to repay your story, I will answer your three questions." Remember, there are only three, and I'm telling me when I think about it. ”
"I've thought about it, first question, I want you to tell me, are you the same as me!"
Hermione spoke slowly, obviously still surprised by Wu Ming's identity, wanting to get a definite answer.
Wu Ming smiled slightly after hearing this, this question is not that he can't be answered, after all, he is not a smuggled traverser, but a part-time worker from outside.
"It's different, I'm different from you, I'm legitimate, and you're not!" When it came to legality, Wu Ming's tone paused.
"What do you mean by that, am I unlawful?"
Hermione, on the side, looked at him with a look of confusion in her eyes.
Legal, illegal, what is the definition of this, Hermione did not understand at all.
"You're a traverser, smuggled from Earth, and you're not following normal procedures. I'm different, I have an identity, a background, and everything I should have. For example, I can openly admit that I am a bounty hunter from an unknown land, recognized by the world consciousness. And you are different, you can only be someone else, and you don't even dare to tell everyone that in fact, your name is Feng Yueyue, not Hermione Granger! ”
"Got it?"
Wu Ming looked at Hermione, but Hermione shook her head affirmatively and replied, "I still don't understand..."
"If you don't understand, forget it, you just need to understand, you just see the light and die." Wu Ming didn't mean to explain in detail, because it was completely unnecessary.
Since getting the Bounty Hunter system, Wu Ming knew that he would shuttle from world to world.
This time, he met Feng Yueyue, a traverser, and next time, he might be able to meet a member of the main god space, or something like that.
Endless world with too many difficult puzzles to solve.
So, since you can't explain it, you can only try to believe it.
Even if an old man came out in the next second and said that he was God, Wu Ming would only follow the sentence "Hallelujah", and then still go back to their respective homes.
"Second question, you took the Philosopher's Stone, what about the plot of the Harry Potter world? I only know the plot, but you messed them all up, and my golden finger is gone! Hermione said, her expression angry.
For one, only the plot is a goldfinger traverser, all her confidence is built on being familiar with the future.
Now, Wu Ming has taken away the Philosopher's Stone, and the series of stories that should have been caused by the Philosopher's Stone obviously no longer exists.
Hermione couldn't help but wonder if the future development of the story would be the Harry Potter world she was familiar with.
"Don't think about that, forget the plot, there is no plot in this world!"
"How is this possible without a plot?"
"Why can't it be?"
Wu Ming glanced at Hermione, who was dumbfounded, and said softly: "In the plot, what should happen during this time period." ”
"At this time, Harry and I should be suspicious of Professor Snape, and the real thief is actually Professor Quirrell."
Hermione is worthy of being a time-traveler who is familiar with the plot, and for this main line in time, it is already to the point of opening her mouth.
However, although he somewhat admired the other party's memory, Wu Ming still spoke: "Wrong, in this world, Professor Quirrell has no problem at all. ”
"This..."
Hermione felt a little dizzy and asked in disbelief, "Professor Quirrell, aren't you possessed by Voldemort?" ”
Wu Ming shook his head lightly and whispered, "In this world, there are many people with problems, but by no means Professor Quirrell. And I can also tell you that in the second episode, the basilisk that will be released is already dead..."
