Chapter 18: The Trial of the Seven Precepts (2)
"Hatch!"
Aslan sneezed, wondering if Princess Lily must be missing him, so he swore to himself that he must pass the trial and never die here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in this place where his deep hands were missing, his heart was still panicking, and he knew what monsters were nearby, maybe there were already three hellhounds with bared teeth or a large group of skeletons who only knew how to kill were approaching him.
"Old cigarette butt!Where have you gone!?"
He subconsciously touched his waist and found that something familiar was missing there!
"Old cigarette butt, don't play any more, you can teach me to perform the light technique, it's too dark here. Still no one answered him, and there was a deathly silence all around.
Suddenly, he felt a light fall above his head, and he couldn't help but look up, but the light was as bright as the sun, and he couldn't open his eyes.
Suddenly, he heard a beautiful melody, the sound of an organ, and rhythmic footsteps sounded around him, like a group of people coming up in a line, and the air began to fill the air with an enticing aroma......
When the light stopped shining, he opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a long table full of delicacies: crispy roast suckling lamb with apples, mellow mulled wine made from fruit pulp, sticky mac and cheese, giant starry mushroom baked turkey, bright red volcanic mashed potatoes, fluffy and crispy butter buns, and fruit and vegetable salad sprinkled with Aligenlu......
All the food was stored in gold vessels, as dazzling as the crystal lamps hanging from the dome of the temple, and on either side of the long table stood many dwarven maids, dressed in long brown dresses, their silky silk hair was beautifully braided, their hands crossed against their abdomen, and they looked down slightly at the white jade floor, and several of them even grew beards!
"I'm not dreaming, am I!?"
"Master, do you feel sleepy?"
When Aslan heard this, he found a dwarf dressed as a butler looking at him with a smile, his waist straight, his red hair carefully braided into many small braids, and even interspersed with many red agate stones with holes.
"What a trench!"
"Master, you have a great sense of humor today. β
The red-haired butler stepped forward and pulled out a chair for Aslan, motioned for his master to sit in the chair, and then tied the scarf into his collar with his own handsβonly then did Aslan realize that he was wearing silk satin.
"This is the trial that the big black dragon said?" Aslan said in surprise.
"Master, before the trial begins, you should adjust yourself to the best condition, such as a good dinner and a good bath. The red-haired butler said respectfully.
"Eat and take a bath?" Aslan wondered, "In my hometown, our trials are all direct one-on-one with savage beasts, but the trials of the Great Black Dragon are interesting, and they don't even start until they have eaten and drunk. β
"Of course, where do you have the energy to cope with the trial?" quipped the red-haired butler, "and now, allow me to retire and prepare your baths." β
"You go get busy, I don't know what the situation is, but so many delicious things can't be wasted. Aslan waved his hand subconsciously, and he didn't even feel the slightest bit wrong, as if he had become the master of the place.
A minute later, he began to feast with his belly open, and five minutes later, there were two maids standing beside him, one serving him wine, the other serving him delicious food, and ten minutes later, the red-haired butler had returned to the hall, standing silently beside him, with an imperceptible and strange smile on his face......
"The one who plays the organ, change to a more cheerful tune, the one who, I want to drink soup, yes, the mushroom soup in the middle. Under the service of the attendants, Aslan ate with a mouth full of oil, and his belly was as smooth as a balloon.
"Master, eat more, there are many more. The red-haired butler smiled.
"No, I can't hold it anymore, we can't destroy the heavens, you can also come up and settle this table of food. β
"How can a slave have dinner with his master, you don't have to worry, our castle has food, as long as you want to eat, there will be no repetition throughout the year. β
Eventually, Aslan's belly had swelled several times, and he left the table several times before returning to eat. The red-haired butler and the maids kept serving him delicious delicacies, and it was not until he thought his belly was about to burst that he relentlessly left the table, and then led the red-haired butler to the misty bathroom......
"There's nothing more pleasant in the world than a full meal and a hot bath. Aslan lay naked on his back in the pool, and two maids beside him were wiping his body.
"Master, when you have washed up, I will take you to the cellar to take stock of your wealth. The red-haired butler standing on the pedestal bowed in respect.
"This trial is really strange, forget it, those riches are fake anyway, let me soak for a while. Aslan looked at the vast mist lingering in the bathroom with an intoxicated expression, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Master, I don't have a name. β
"No name? It's strange, so I'll give you a name, and I'll call it Redbeard. β
"Thank you for the name. β
Redbeard didn't say much, and he still stood at Aslan's side, silently watching him wallow in the warm pool......
Gradually, Aslan closed his heavy eyelids and let his body slide into the water, while the two maids and Redbeard by the pool smiled slyly, and their bodies began to slowly dissipate......
"Little slippery, are you okay kid!"
Aslan woke up suddenly, and then choked on a large mouthful of water, and he popped out of the water, and the bodies of Redbeard and the two maids also returned to their essence in an instant.
"Ahem, ahem..... What is going on!?I obviously heard the sound of the old cigarette butt, is it an illusion?" Aslan looked around the bathroom, but did not find the old cigarette butt.
"Master, what's wrong?" asked Redbeard.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too sleepy, I almost fell asleep just now. Aslan looked at his wrinkled palms, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No, I'll have to take off my skin if I soak it again, Redbeard, take me to that cellar to count my wealth." β
Redbeard replied, and the two maids stepped forward to serve Aslan in a loose nightgown, and along the way, Redbeard told Aslan about the wealth in the cellar, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he understood what it was to pile up a mountain!
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
Standing at the top of the staircase of the cellar, the golden cellar was almost blinded, and the stone pillars that were used to bear the weight were already overwhelmed with gold and jadeβhe cheered and rushed into the cellar, holding gold coins in both hands, wearing a crown inlaid with agate, and a garment woven of jade, and stuffing a large number of diamonds and pearls into his pocket......
"These are all mine!?"
"That's right, these are your belongings, and you are the master of this castle. β
There is no end to human desire, and this admonition was very apt for Aslan, who at first rejoiced that he had such a large fortune, but soon he felt that it was too little to fill the cellar, and that he longed for more wealth than the emperor's house, more castles, and more women!
He was angry and jealous of this, but in the end he was intoxicated by the dazzling golden sea......
"Master, it's midnight, are you going back to your bedroom to rest?" asked Redbeard in a low voice.
Aslan was lying on his back on a pile of gold coins, grabbing a golden scepter and holding it between his lips, intoxicated by the distinctive smell of metal rust. The musicians on the side were playing beautiful music to their heart's content, and the maids knelt on the side to massage his body, all of which was so real that he couldn't extricate himself from it.
"Master, aren't you going back to your dorm to rest?" asked Redbeard again.
Aslan waved his hand to signal the musician to stop playing, then looked at Redbeard and asked, "By the way, when will the trial that the big black dragon said start?"
Redbeard's expression was stunned, but he quickly transformed that stunned color into just the right amount of awakening: "The trial, of course, will start tomorrow." β
"Well, let's go back to the dormitory and rest, I hope the trial can start sooner. Aslan looked at the treasure all over the ground, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"If you don't get tired, we can stay a little longer. Redbeard said softly.
"Forget it, although these things are very real, but I know that they are all fake, you can take me to the bedroom to rest, and I will have to test when I wake up tomorrow." β
A look of resentment flashed in Redbeard's eyes, but Aslan didn't notice it, and when he came to the bedroom, he lay down on the soft goose down bed with a satisfied face, and Redbeard, who was standing on the side, leaned over and asked, "Master, which servant would you like to appoint to serve you?"
"What?" Aslan didn't understand for a moment.
"As I said, everything about this castle is yours, including the beautiful maids. Redbeard clapped his hands, and two maids in silk skirts walked into the bedroom, judging by Aslan's dwarven aesthetics, these two maids were simply the best in the world, and one of them even looked very similar to Princess Lily!
"That's not good...... Aslan said with a blushing face.
"You are the ruler of this castle and deserve to enjoy it all. Redbeard bowed and bowed, then left the two maids alone and left the dormitory, and at the moment he closed the door, he suddenly turned his back to the door and sneered: "Gluttony, laziness, greed, pride, anger, jealousy, and lust, enjoy this last commandment, and then die peacefully in your sleep......"
