Chapter Twenty-Three: The Pea's Tale
The next day, inside the Holy Sepulchre
With two dark circles under her eyes, Veriti clenched her small fists hard, and emphasized: "In the name of the seventh generation of the Jeffrey family, Dr. Goblin guarantees that there is absolutely no problem with this statue!"
At the end, she added: "At the very least, it's not any goblin!"
"We are not doubting your professionalism. Aree took out the stones from the cloth bag, spread them out in his palm, and handed them to Doctor Goblin:
"Last night a monster attacked Annis Vice-Priest and was chased away by Bruno, who was patrolling nearby, and it was a fragment that fell from its body, which matched the rift in the idol. ”
"This, this ......" Veriti looked at the stone a little dumbfounded, and suddenly she herself began to doubt her own judgment a little.
"The Hallows don't work, and you deny that it's a goblin, is there another mystery in this world?" Nicole habitually stood on tiptoe on her right foot and looked at her with a torch-like gaze.
"Impossible!" Dr. Goblin vetoed, and continued like a cannon:
"The Golden Edict reached between the Emperor and many goblin lords is an unconscious precept dominated by humans, which binds and protects goblins. Any life outside of this legal registration will be burned to death by the unquenchable fire as soon as it enters the world of Atlasu. ”
"Except for the evil spirits that dwell in darkness and originate from original sin...... However, unless they are tired of life and want to commit suicide, they will sneak into the Holy Land and transform into Christ statues...... This is completely out of the realm of death!"
"This ...... Maybe it's going to happen. ”
Aree shook his head, when he and Bruno first met, the unknown evil creature of the shadow structure was obviously not burned by the unquenchable flame.
Because of the seizure of that thing, they not only received great praise, but also signed a confidentiality agreement, and they were absolutely not allowed to disclose the news to the outside world.
At this time, Bruno also happened to have a solemn gaze, and frowned imperceptibly.
The Black Knight's mood instantly sank to the bottom, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart uncontrollably - could it be that the Empire's web of order to resist otherworldly life, dominate and punish all spirits has been broken!?
Waiting for our ...... What will be the fate?
Now is not the time to think about it!
Yalei pressed his index finger against the center of his eyebrows, quickly pulled his consciousness back to his place, and looked at Veriti fixedly: "If you exclude these two, then this stone statue is not that monster, but how can the fragments be explained?"
"I don't know, but ......" Dr. Goblin pursed his lips vigorously as if he had made up his mind, and pulled out a black branch from his satchel:
"You can give it a try with this!"
"What kind of magic item is this?" Alcia leaned over with interest, looking up and down the branch.
"This is an heirloom for our Jeffrey family. With a bit of ostentation, Veretti proudly raised the branch: "You've probably all heard the legend of Jack and Pea, right?"
"Jack and Pea...... What's that?"
The black knight didn't know what to say, but he felt that the branch was indeed something special, and it seemed to contain strange mana.
"My God......"
Nicole covered her eyes with her right hand and couldn't help but ask, "Yalei...... Did you have a childhood......
"Flutter!" Lydia couldn't help laughing, when she was in her hometown, who didn't know that the young master of the Bernstein family had been a wonder since he was a child.
I just didn't think of it...... The child who is called an idiot by everyone really did it step by step...... If you can become the mistress of Bernstein's house, you can always be with him.
Thinking of this, the girl's face couldn't help but be a little hot.
"I'll sue you. ”
Bruno cast a pitying gaze, clapped his palms to get Yare's attention, and narrated it as quickly as possible:
"The legend begins with a bear child named Jack, who doesn't listen to his mother and sells a cow that can't be milked to an old man, who is actually a long-planned shady scene. The old man gave him a few magical peas, and after being thrown out the window by his mother, who mistook them for worthlessness, he grew beanstalks that reached the sky one night, and the bear child was very curious and climbed to the top of the sky. ”
There, he meets the giantess who claims that her husband eats children, and the giant soon returns home and Jack is secretly hidden. The giant was probably a miser, and he fell asleep counting the money, and the bear child took the opportunity to steal a bag of gold coins. ”
"Even if a bag of gold coins is put now, it is a huge amount of money, enough for Jack's family to spend a rich life, but for some reason they squandered it quickly, I suspect that he gambled!"
At this time, the Holy Sepulchre was quiet enough to hear the needles falling to the ground, and everyone except Yare, who was listening attentively, was in a petrified posture.
"It's a bit of a stretch, go ahead...... After the money was spent, Jack climbed up the pea tree and stole the harp that played automatically from the giant, as well as the hen that laid golden eggs. Halfway through, he was chased by the giant, and at this time, Jack's anger rose from his heart, and he became a criminal completely.
Relying on his gifted body, he returned to the ground first, and together with his equally strong mother, he cut off the bean stalks, causing the half-crawling giant to fall to death and devour its property. ”
"This is definitely a premeditated and planned murder with a knife! There are too many suspicious points in the incident, and I even suspect that the giantess had an affair with that shady old man, and designed to let unrestrained underage mortals murder their own husbands in order to achieve their ulterior motives!"
"And then!" the Black Knight listened intriguedly, wondering what the story was going on.
It was a sad ending, and Jack wasted his talent and relied on the deep pockets brought by the Golden Egg to build the famous Black Pearl, becoming one of the nine pirate kings.
However, this kind of heroic man who crossed the ocean was destined to die a bad death, and in the end he was defeated and arrested, and the emperor ordered him to be executed publicly. Before his death, he claimed that he had left behind a treasure that he had plundered over the years of his life and the hens that laid golden eggs, and promoted the ridiculous idea of a great pirate. ”
"If he serves the country from Rong, with his talent, he may be able to become a general. The Silver Knight gritted his teeth and finished with hatred for iron.
"Well, it's a story worth watching!" said Are, clapping his hands in disbelief:
With the acquiescence of his mother's inaction, Jack embarked on the road of no return, from a thief to a pirate king, so the correct three views should be established from an early age. ”
The boss applauded, and the people who were injured by the three views also had to express their applause.
"But what does this story have to do with this branch?" the Black Knight paused, glaring and glaring at the beanstalk fragment.
“...... Mr. Bruno's conspiracy theories are too strict, but Jack did become the pirate king and left behind a treasure, but no one could find the chicken. ”
Veriti wiped her cold sweat, smiled, and gently picked up the beanstalk:
"This is one of Captain Jack's treasures, the branch of the Pea, our family heirloom. A real pea tree can communicate a small world, and although only fragments remain, it can also communicate with a person's world. To put it simply, for the time being, the minds of the two are connected. ”
Beverley folded his shoulders in confusion: "What's the point?"
"I see!" Nicole said excitedly, clasping her hands together, "if you could enter the sleepland of a nun trapped in a nightmare...... Maybe something will emerge from it?"
"Hmm!" Dr. Goblin nodded his head vigorously.
