Chapter Seventy-Two: The Deal Between Glos and Skula
Sitting on the wide, ancient throne in the palace hall, Queen Glos gently covered her neck, wrists, and ankles with mashed serpentine leaves.
Snake wood has a powerful healing effect and is more effective than any healing potion.
But at this moment, in the face of the crimson strangulation marks, the healing effect was extremely limited, and the wound was still stinging like a fire, as if it had been pierced and twisted by a burning fire stick.
Gloss clutched the crystal ball in his hand and inhaled deeply, so that he could not scream.
She slowed down for a while, and then lifted the crystal ball as black as black jade, and with the light touch of her fingers, suddenly, a faint fire lit up in the center of the ball.
The color of the fire is very peculiar: the outermost layer is as white as snowflakes, the second layer is yellow as molten gold, the middle is red as red copper, and the innermost layer is as black as ink.
If Rove were here, he would have recognized it as the Eternal Flame of the Tower of Babel, the Gubrai Immortal Fire.
However, instead of using it for lighting, Queen Glos peeked at it from a distance.
This is also the greatest effect of the Gubulai Immortal Fire, through which the eyes can be seen thousands of miles away from the land, mountains and sea.
Glos closed his eyes, chanted a spell, and then opened his eyes again to stare at the crystal ball.
Snow-white, golden, and inky black flames jumped, shimmered, converged, dispersed, and fused into each other, and finally a lake took shape within the crystal ball.
On the stone in the center of the lake sits a naked woman, bathed in mist, which sets off her fairy spirit.
The woman seemed to sense that someone was watching, and she lifted the jade foot formed by the fish's tail and lightly touched the surface of the lake with her toes.
The lake rippled, and it was like a picture scroll, and soon the figure of Glos appeared.
The two looked at each other in the air.
The woman gently picked up a handful of lake water and splashed it on her breasts, which were as white as jade cream, and the water droplets rolled down the heavy falling twin peaks, and she asked softly:
"Is it beautiful?"
Rao is Queen Glos, and she was also thrilled by this scene, and she scolded in her heart:
"Mermaid!"
Seeing that Glos did not answer, the woman smiled lazily at Glos.
"I know it's beautiful, but I love it again...... You can't peep. β
"Who spied on you?" Glos said coldly: "It's you yourself who don't wear clothes every time!" β
"I'm in my own home, why should I wear clothes?"
The woman let out a snort, and suddenly glanced at Glos's wrists and neck, with crimson strangulation marks, and she sighed:
"You're trying to get out of that city again? Every time, I get bruises all over my body, and I really don't have a long memory. β
Glos was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't want to leave, I was calculated." β
She quickly talked about what happened today in the Colosseum.
After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but chuckle. "You're going to be played around by a teenager?"
She laughed for a long time before she stopped laughing, then looked at Glos with some strange looks, and said:
"Even if most of your strength is sealed, it's not difficult to see through a teenager's thoughts, right? Is his Occlumency so powerful? β
"Scamander didn't use Occlumency, he used a flood of memories." Queen Glos shook her head and said:
"The false memories he built up in his mind made me ...... I couldn't see through it. β
"Memories flooding?" The woman frowned, "He actually knows the magic of an ancient wizard?" β
"What's so strange about that?" Glos sneered and said:
"Humans were slaves of ancient wizards 10,000 years ago, and they already mastered some of the magic of ancient wizards, and it is possible for them to be passed on to their descendants, those so-called pure-blood wizards."
The woman felt that it made sense, so she didn't dwell too much on this question, but asked straight to the point:
"You didn't come to me out of the blue, didn't you just want to talk about it?"
"Scamander also took the dragonbone sword that Slytherin had built back then." Gross gloated, "Your dragon calamity son, I guess you won't live long." β
"Die and die." The woman said indifferently, "For thousands of years, I have died more than a dozen sons one after another, and I have long been used to it. β
When she said this, her expression did not change in the slightest, as if it was not her son who died, but ...... A cat and a dog.
Queen Glos stared at the indifferent woman and suddenly asked:
"Skula, haven't you really regretted it all these years?"
"Regret what?"
"Regret...... Back then, you tricked your eldest sister Palcellope into leaving Avalon to chase Odysseus. Queen Glos stared straight at Skula and said:
"If it weren't for you, Palmelope and her descendants, they wouldn't be cursed for eternity; Nor will your son become a dragon scourge and be slaughtered from generation to generation...... You are the root of all evil! β
"Don't take me so badly." Skulla smiled and said with a calm expression:
"I was also kind back then, and I wanted my sister to chase true love."
"Kind?" Queen Glos's gaze stared coldly at the woman who was the third oldest among the three mermaid sisters, and sneered:
"You don't know, what you really think is that you want Palcellope to be your stepping stone?
You want her to leave Avalon, so that you can test whether the contract you signed with the ancient wizard back then - to protect Avalon and not leave half a step has expired! β
"You thought that even if Palmelopers was cursed, it wouldn't be able to implicate you." Gloat gloated:
"But I didn't expect that you, the initiator, did not escape punishment, and your son became a dragon disaster.
You will never be able to leave this broken cave, you can't even peek into the outside world, like a deaf and blind person. β
Glos said, laughing out loud.
Skulla was indifferent, staring coldly at her.
"We are not like each other, you have deceived and deceived Merlin, and then he has cursed you and imprisoned you in that city for eternity...... Mojana? β
"Oh, you don't use that infamous word now, but instead use the name of your so-called human father, Gloss, Duke of Cornwall, don't you?"
Gloss's face was cloudy, and after a long time, she smiled lightly:
"Forget it, we are all born bad seeds, don't say anyone. I'm coming to you today to make a deal with you. β
"What deal?"
"Rove Scamanderβ" Gloss said solemnly:
"He will surely kill the Dragonscourge, and when the time comes, you must guide him to the cave where you are, and help me keep him and not let him leave Avalon."
Glos believes that Rove is the king of Avalon who was prophesied by Cassandra Trelawney to help her lift her curse.
And Glos can't leave the city now, and she doesn't think that her subordinates can stop Scamander, so she can only hope for Skula.
I don't want to admit it, but I ...... Skullah, the mermaid, is indeed much more beautiful than her.
Especially the curvaceous, white and flawless perfect carcass, even Glos couldn't help but feel fluttering when he saw it
She believes...... Sculla will certainly be able to keep Scamander.
This is something that has been proven countless times over thousands of years!
"Why are you so interested in Scamander?" Skulla asked suddenly.
"It's not about you!"
"Then why should I help you?"
"Haven't you been looking for the blood descendants of your second sister Siren?" Glos chuckled, "I know where. β
Skula's eyes instantly shone with a sharp light, and she stared at Gloss and said:
"Back then, you really took that kid away!"
"Not me." Glos laughed, "However, I do know where the siren's blood descendant is, and if you help me keep him, I'll tell you." β
Skula stared at the woman, whose real name was Mojana, and after a long time, she bowed her jaw:
"Deal!"
After making the transaction, Glos waved his arm, the woman inside the crystal ball disappeared, the flames danced again, and soon the figure of Rove appeared.
Rove had detached himself from the Dragonscourge Aerys and landed on the ground, holding in his hand what appeared to be a map.
Glos stared at Rove for a moment, then then fell on the beautiful girl with a red ponytail beside him.
She laughed.
