Chapter 57: The Identity of Gloss
As for the eldest sister Parcelope and the third sister Sculla among the three mermaid sisters, Rove has heard of their names for a long time, and he knows a lot about their deeds through the oral accounts of Micera and the skull Igo.
But the Siren, who was the only one who seemed to be invisible and had no sense of existence compared to her two cursed sisters.
Not to mention what she has done, even her name, Rove rarely hears of it mentioned.
So he has always felt that the siren is probably a low-key and introverted woman who has no quarrel with the world.
But hearing Glos's words, Rove immediately realized that he was wrong...... The sirens are clearly not good stubbles either.
Still, he wondered, "Aren't sirens and skulla sisters, why did they fight?" ”
"Sister?" Queen Glos sneered: "It's often between close relatives, and it's ruthless!" ”
Rove looked at Queen Glos, who seemed to have a feeling, and thought:
"There's a story here!"
Ignoring Rove's probing gaze, Glos paused, and continued:
"As for the reason for their fight, I don't know.
In short, the battle was like a mini-apocalyptic catastrophe, not only sinking a corner of Avalon into the sea, but also turning a large area into a forbidden area for life.
The whole island is stranded in the waters of the North Sea, and it can no longer float! ”
"And who won in the end?" Rove curious.
"I don't know." Glos shook his head, then stretched out his white lotus-like wrist, gently held his chin and said:
But when the battle was over, the sirens disappeared without a trace, and only Skula was left on the island...... The mermaid is gone. ”
Queen Glos cursed fiercely, and then apologized to Rove:
"I'm sorry, the dragon scourge killed so many of my people and husband, I can't help but want to scold Skullah, don't you mind."
"Don't mind." Rove smiled: "Don't scold, I curse her every day." ”
Although he said this, he felt that Glos would never hate Sculla because of such a thing, and there must be a deeper reason behind it.
Wait a minute...... Her true identity can't be the vanished siren, right?
Rove was also frightened by his extraordinary brain hole, and he asked tentatively:
"If you hate Skulla so much, why don't you go to her for revenge?"
"Me?" Queen Glos put on a sad posture and said softly:
"I'm just a helpless woman, not a match for Skulla...... Your Majesty, I will rely on you to support me. ”
Rove tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that he would change to a top-level boiling sheep, but he probably couldn't resist the temptation, and was tricked by Glos to find Scylla for revenge.
He was about to continue tapping on the side, when he suddenly heard a gentle tapping sound from his box.
Queen Glos glanced at the black leather case in Rove's hand, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly:
"After talking for so long, it's almost dawn, and it's time for me to go back...... Your Majesty, I will send a carriage to pick you up and your two little ladies and enter the palace with you. ”
Rove was about to refuse, but Queen Glos bit her lip, and she had a pitiful appearance of wanting to cry, this moment was really amorous and moving.
"It's just to enter the palace, and I won't eat you, so you don't want to know...... How do you kill that dragon scourge? ”
Rove hesitated, nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”
Glos got up from his chair and gave Rove a blessing, his voice gentle and humane:
"Goodbye, then, Your Majesty."
Queen Glos twisted her round hips as she walked towards the stairs, and Rov looked at her back, waiting for her to be far away before opening the box.
Shirley and Nelishi quickly got out, Nelishi patted the dust on her body, and couldn't help asking:
"Why did it take so long to open the box?"
"Just had a guest here." Rove pointed into the distance.
Shirley and Nellis followed his fingers and saw a graceful figure walking towards the door.
As she was about to cross the threshold, Glos looked back as if she had a feeling, her gaze skimming over Nellis' to the bordy ponytailed girl.
Just then, Shirley saw Gloss's gaze looking back.
The two sides looked at each other.
Glos smiled at her, quickly retracted his gaze, and headed out the door.
"What a beautiful woman!" Nelishi looked at the disappearing back and asked curiously, "Who is she?" ”
"The librarian of the Tower of Babel." "It's also the queen that Livias is talking about...... Queen Gross. ”
"Ah, she's the queen who is at least one hundred and seventy years old?" Nelishi was stunned and said, "Why are you so young?" ”
"I guess I drank the Fountain of Youth, right?" Shirley guessed.
"That's right." Rove said.
"Is there really that kind of spring water on the island that can keep you young?" Nelishi's face was full of shock, and then she said with great envy: "Where?" ”
"You'll have to ask Queen Glos." Rove shrugged. "She's not a good stubble, though, and you'd better not be alone with her."
Shirley nodded, she thought back to the way the woman looked at her just now, and that look inexplicably made her a little uncomfortable.
The ponytailed girl frowned and asked, "This queen, what are you doing here?" ”
"Persuaded me to be King of Avalon, but I refused, and ......," Rove said, holding up the leather book in his hand.
"We chatted about the books in the Tower of Babel, and she helped me find this "Battle of the Three Wizards."
Rove quietly gave Shirley a look, and she knew that this was not a place to talk, so she didn't ask anything more, but asked softly:
"Are you going back to sleep? Nellis and I can stay here. ”
"I don't sleep." Rove stood up, leaned up, and said, "The carriage will take us into the palace in a moment." ”
"Let's eat something then." Shirley raised the food box in her hand and said, "I made you breakfast." ”
Rove smiled and hummed, opened the food box, and found that the breakfast was very rich:
Hot bread, milk and blackberry jam, bacon and boiled eggs, cheese and a pot of mint tea, and a few starchy sausages.
Rove turned into a chair and a table again, and the three of them sat down and enjoyed breakfast together.
Just as they were halfway through their meal, they saw a strong light suddenly pouring down through the central hole in the top of the Tower of Babel - much like the Pantheon in Rome.
The pale light covered the brightness of the Gublai Immortal Fire, and it fell on the statue of the ancient wizard on the first floor, shining brightly.
Shirley and Nelly looked at each other.
Rove also stood up in confusion, he opened a window and looked out into the sky, speechless in shock.
