Chapter 412: Mistletoe
"So what? If you want the best ingredients, I'll ask my father for them, and they'll give it to us. The boy said.
The girl smiled and said, "What I want is not an acorn, nor a black pig, nor a ham." ”
"Is it this mistletoe?"
"You really don't understand anything, you don't understand what the parasitic mistletoe represents in this king of oaks, and you don't understand what the oak tree represents. It seems that you don't know what an ancient wizard is. Do you know what the oldest wizard is called?" asked the maiden. But it seems to be explaining leisurely, but he doesn't care at all that the blood on his body is flowing, which looks very weird.
"Druith, this is Celtic. It means 'to know the oak tree'. In other words, if you understand the oak tree, you will become an ancient wizard. ”
This time, the boy couldn't help but feel a little scary.
"The fruit of this king of oaks will also be revered as the sacred fruit of the Druids, and it is a pity that this oak tree does not grow holy fruits. The girl said.
"And what do you want this mistletoe fruit for?" the boy asked a little nervously, but he still didn't see the girl as an enemy.
But the girl said indifferently: "This is hope." In England, there is such a saying, there is no happiness without mistletoe, and this is hope. ”
"The oak tree is the highest tree and represents the supreme god, so the mistletoe on its body is also considered by the Druids to be a universal elixir. And to remove them, it must be in the new moon. On the sixth night of the month, it can only be taken on days like the full moon. ”
The young man was taken aback: "The cultivation of ham, and today's full moon, today is the day to take fruits." ”
"Yes, but even that isn't enough, and you'll need a gold item to be able to remove this. The Druids used gold to take the fruit, and the Swedish wizards used the connection between mistletoe and gold, using mistletoe to find gold in turn. The girl said.
If Erica is present, she will definitely be reminded of the famous story Journey to the West, which is. There is a fruit called ginseng fruit. It's the same thing that requires a golden strike to shoot down. It has the characteristics of falling when it meets gold. If it were Erica, she might be happy to explore the commonalities between the two.
The boy looked to the girl's side, the familiar golden sword stuck into the ground, though it no longer looked so gorgeous and bright in the night.
The boy remembered the girl's practice again.
"Did you want this fruit from the beginning? why?"
The boy asked.
The girl continued to explain slowly. I don't care that a lot of blood has been lost in my body. At first, the boy was a little worried about her. Now it's just terrifying.
"Because that's my only hope, I want to become a Juggernaut, but I also know that I can't possibly do it. Even you think I'm just having fun. But if there is this mistletoe parasite. I could become a Juggernaut. ”
The girl said.
For a moment, the boy was a little stunned.
"In that case, the adults will punish you. ”
"Stealing the mistletoe from me is already a betrayal. I'll have to defect from now on. That's why I said it's poison, and I'm not lying to you. If you eat this fruit, you will have to go with me. There was still a hint of anticipation, but now I understand. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the exercises I did before, and I will have to get used to the exercises of one person in the future. ”
Hearing the girl's words, the boy remembered the girl's practice against the oak tree alone, and now it seemed that it was not that the girl had let him go, but that she was ready to give up on him.
"Do you just want to become a holy swordsman? Do you just want to have the name of a sword master? Is it really okay to give up your family, friends, and life here?
The boy almost cried out in wail.
Defection, it's not that easy.
To make such a decision is to give up everything here. Naturally, that means, he was abandoned.
No, perhaps, the maiden once wanted to take him. But that means that the teenager also needs to give up the qiē here, and obviously, the teenager can't do it.
"What do you think of the life of those black pigs? But no matter how I look at it, they're just food. What kind of food do you think?"
"Is the law of the jungle the strong?"
The girl shook her head: "Is the weak food? Because we are stronger than pigs, so pigs are food? Look at how weak ants are on the ground, but they can eat prey that is several times larger than them. Can you still say that the weak are food?" said the girl.
"I think that death is the standard of food, and the dead are the food of the living. It has nothing to do with the strong or the weak, the weak eat the strong, just because the strong are more able to kill the weak. However, no matter what kind of strong person you are, once you die, you will also become food. ”
"You might say that food isn't just about death. Have you ever seen a pig to be slaughtered? Standing there dumbfounded, not even frightened when killed. It's completely different from the birds flying in the sky. At that time, the pig was actually dead. The heart is dead. You still don't understand, here a carefree life, eating, playing, sleeping, eating, playing, sleeping, eating, playing, sleeping...... What is the difference between this kind of life and those domestic animals that are kept in captivity? If this continues, we will die. So I'm going to go out, I'm going to see the outside world. I want to live the best life for myself, I want to become a legend. ”
The girl said impassionedly.
And the boy was completely shocked by her.
The girl stretched out her hand, opened her mouth, and ate the red fruit. Immediately, the girl's body quickly recovered.
"The red mistletoe represents the power of the woman and can restore itself. And the white mistletoe ......," the girl said, opening her mouth again and swallowing the white fruit as well.
"The white fruit represents the power of the man. ”
"In that case, I'll be invincible. The girl said with a resolute gaze. "I can definitely become a legend of the swordsman. ”
The red fruit has the power to restore, while the white fruit has the power to increase.
If it weren't for the red fruit, if she only ate the white fruit, the girl would be in danger. But at this moment, she maintains a delicate balance.
The boy watched the girl in a daze, and finally raised her head.
The girl drew the sword stuck in the ground and said to the boy, "Once, the god of light was killed by Loki, the god of fire, with a mistletoe dart, and the mother of the god of light, Friggya, the goddess of love, used her tears to dissolve the evil of mistletoe and resurrect her child, so she promised that whoever stood under mistletoe would be entitled to a kiss from her." “
So this custom has been handed down. The woman who stands under the mistletoe will offer her own kiss to the man. ”
"And this is my kiss. Parting kisses. ”
The girl said, and then waved the long sword in her hand.
The golden sword drew a beautiful and noble arc.
The long sword cut a scar on the boy's face. It was the girl's kiss, the parting kiss. Someone else's kiss is kissed with the lips, but hers kisses with a sword. Because for her, the sword can convey her mood more than her mouth.
"Goodbye, maybe never again. ”
"Where are you going?" the boy asked.
The girl replied, "First of all, go to Amsterdam, the hometown of the Sword of the Wind, the Netherlands, the capital of the wind." Ah, time is running out, I have to leave. ”
The girl spoke, her figure fading.
That's what Italian wizards used to make people invisible using mistletoe.
That's why she can swagger and explain, because it's easy for her to escape.
Seeing that the girl was about to leave, the boy finally asked, "What do you really want?"
In the wind, the girl's last message came.
"Freedom. ”
The full moon hangs high, and it is not only ham that can disappear, but also people.
The night of the full moon seems destined not to be a moment of reunion, but a moment of parting. (To be continued......)
