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 itself is a conspiracy to attract those fantasy princes to come and tell you a secret, these dead princes have kissed Princess Talia, but she has absorbed the essence of the spirit, turned into dried corpses, and finally turned into white bones. β
"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, I will come here, 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. β
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 have been because he 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 have to say? At first you said that 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, the truth is, you did not prevent any prince from getting close to the banshee in your mouth, and what you said is so different from the legends we have heard, I don't believe you." β
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 crying, 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 the world, and he still didn't know what the Rose Witch was. 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 thorny rose with tears on her shoulder, which is used to express love is beautiful with tears. β
"But, no, the Rose Witch is a legendary witch, if you are the Rose Witch, how did you become a witch again? Is it because your blood is not pure? Also, why do you want to guard Princess Talia, you say she is a banshee, how do you know? Didn't everyone die in that fire? How did the news come out?"
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'll tell you." β
"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, and invited many princes to the castle, wanting to choose a brave prince for his daughter. β
"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 who had a private meeting came to the castle, and saw that his daughter had a strange sucking of the prince of the private meeting into a human. β
"The old king was terrible, he didn't know that his daughter was a banshee, he thought she was sick with something, he thought that if he found a good doctor or a witch, he could cure her, so he found the rose witch who was in the kingdom at that time, that is, my ancestor. β
"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. β
"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 many 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. β
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 did not die, he also escaped, because not long after the incident, there was a wandering poet whose face was burned in the distance, and he was telling a story about Princess Talia, and the legend spread from then on, and when the Rose Witch knew the story and went to 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 did not know that his daughter was a banshee, and it was not his daughter in the womb. β
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 why did you become a witch again?"
"This is another story, of course I want to tell you, everyone knows that witches also age, will 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, the blood of the Rose Witch is already very scarce, and she can't even feel the power of magic, ordinary life makes the descendants of the Rose Witch more and more ordinary, and the descendants of the Rose Witch have not stopped a few princes, and even she is about to forget the last words of the first generation of the Rose Witchγ β
"To make matters worse, in the forest opposite the village, near the cursed castle, there was a pack of wolves, the wolves would 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, in order to survive, the village organized people to fight the wolves, but every time there were heavy casualties. β
"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......"
