Three months later…
In the drizzling blood-red rain, faint footprints suddenly appeared one after another in the empty place, but it was not long before they were covered by the blood rain, washing away all the traces.
Ahead of where the footprints pointed, you could vaguely see a hole almost buried in the red soil.
And inside the cave, under the light of a few candles, Mordred, who was in tattered clothes, held Chen Fan with half-grown limbs in his arms, covering his mouth with one hand, and gently patting his chest with the other. He was also humming a weird nursery rhyme:
“London bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling down,
my fair lady.
Build it up with iron bars,
iron bars, iron bars.
Build it up with iron bars,
my fair lady.
Iron bars will bend and break,
bend and break, bend and break.
Iron bars will bend and break,
my fair lady.
Build it up with gold and silver,
gold and silver, gold and silver.
Build it up with gold and silver,
my fair lady.
gold and silver I've not got,
I've not got, I've not got.
gold and silver I've not got,
my fair lady.”
As the song ended, blood suddenly dripped from the air onto the floor of the cave. When Mordred raised his head, Belia suddenly appeared with a large boar-like hell beast on his shoulders, shaking the transparent glass full of blood. cloak.
Throwing the hell seed to the ground casually, Belia, who had a terrifying wound on her left face at some point, bent down and pushed a bowl made of two large and one small stones in front of Mordred.
With a slight nod, Mordred stopped slapping Chen Fan, and instead laid him down on the ground. He continued to cover his mouth with one hand, while the other hand transformed into a red giant sword and cut him cleanly. on his neck.
The gushing blood continued to sprinkle into the stone bowls, and within a short time both bowls were completely filled. At this time, Mordred slowly stopped cutting Chen Fan's neck with the sword blade in order to prevent regeneration.
Reaching out and handing the small bowl to Belia, Mordred then stood up and poured the blood in the large bowl onto the body of the wild boar hellbred.
The moment the blood came into contact with the wild boar hellbred, it was like cold water entering hot oil and sizzling, and white smoke rose up. It didn't take long for the wild boar hellbred to shrink by a full circle, leaving only blood on its body. Hula rub's edible meat.
It was only then that Chen Fan fully recovered. After making a bowl for himself, he began to roll his eyes: "Let me tell you, can we make it look like a thriller every time we purify food? It's scary."
"Who are you scaring? There are only three of us here, and we all know the truth. We only see ghosts if we can be scared." Mordred spat disdainfully, and began to skillfully divide the wild boar hell species.
"Readers, they will be shocked." The groaning Chen Fan saw that Mordred didn't really want to talk to him, so he walked over to Belia who was sitting down, "What's wrong with your face?" ?Being attacked?"
"No," Belia shook her head and wiped the wound with Chen Fan's blood. Pink granules grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the palm-sized wound was quickly healed without leaving any scars. " There is something wrong with the rain outside, it is too corrosive, the invisibility cloak you made tore a hole, and the blood rain dripped down and burned me."
After saying that, Belia also picked up the invisibility cloak and shook it twice so that Chen Fan could see more clearly.
Chen Fan clicked his tongue in displeasure, and bit the corner of the invisibility cloak. A steady stream of spiritual energy quickly filled it in, quickly restoring the damaged hole to its original appearance.
"If nothing else, your ability is really useful." After cutting up the wild boar hellbrown, Mordred came over with three pieces of meat that were still bleeding, and stuffed them into Chen Fan's mouth. One piece, and then handed the other piece to Belia, and used her sharp teeth to tear up the pieces of her flesh as she thanked her.
Using his sharp teeth, he bit into pieces of meat and swallowed it. Chen Fan waved his limbs, which had only returned to half their length, and asked Belia to pick him up. Then he looked at Mordred triumphantly: "Of course. , unlike Xiao Mo, Belia and you other fighting maniacs, I am an expert in many aspects!"
"Then you try to turn yourself into a human stick, right?" In the past three months, Mordred brought this up every time when Chen Fan was making noises, and then began to admire his deflated expression.
As expected, Chen Fan's face immediately drooped: "Almost a hundred days have passed. I asked Xiao Mo, can you please stop mentioning this matter all the time?"
At this time, Belia, who had finished eating the meat before Mordred, hugged Chen Fan and patted his head gently: "But Xiao Mo is right, if you didn't bother then, you don't have to worry now. If you want to talk to her as an equal, you have to hold her in my arms."
Different from the previous severed wrists and ankles by Yan Hui, this time Chen Fan, who had his limbs cut off directly from the thighs and shoulders, listened to Belia's words and tried to change the subject in a depressed manner: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, little one. Mo, what the hell is the song you sing, why is it so scary?"
"Ah?" Mordred looked puzzled, "Is it scary? This is a well-known children's song in our Holy Rome."
"Bah! Whose children's song is like this?" As he spoke, Chen Fan repeated a piece of Mordred's ballad, "London Bridge is falling down, (London Bridge is falling down)
Falling down falling down, (collapsed, collapsed)
London Bridge bridge is falling down, (London Bridge collapsed, collapsed)
My fair lady. (Dear friend)
Take a key and lock her up, (lock her up with a key)
lock her up, lock her up, (lock her up, lock her up)
Take a key and lock her up, (lock her up with a key)
My fair lady. (Dear friend)
Listen to yourself, where can such a dark children's song exist? ! What's the big problem with your Holy Roman designation. "
After Chen Fan repeated this, Mordred also reacted, stroking his single ponytail thoughtfully: "So you mean this, it is indeed a bit dark, because it is said that this song has two origins, One theory is that this nursery rhyme alludes to the "downfall" of Anne Boleyn, the second queen of the former King Henry VIII of England. She was once accused of adultery and incest, and eventually died. , executed for treason.”
"What's another way of saying it?" Chen Fan was still very curious.
"Another theory is even more terrifying. It is said that this popular British nursery rhyme records a legendary and cruel building sacrificial ritual: when a building is first completed, if a living child is sealed into the building, Then his soul will always protect the building from falling..." As Mordred said, he stretched out his hand to Chen Fan, and his white and slender green fingers kept twisting in front of him.
However, Chen Fan was not afraid of this at all, and even wanted to laugh: "What are you talking about? A few days ago, I had a great time chatting and laughing with Jack the Ripper, the serial murderer of Holy Rome, and I also learned about his story. Do you want to hear the whole story?"
"Tch, isn't it just that mess about the Salieri family? Everyone has known about it for a long time because of your bald deputy director in the Central Plains. I guess only you Central Plains people don't know about it." Maud waved his hand carelessly. Reid also pointed at Belia, "If you don't believe me, ask her."
When Chen Fan raised his face out of curiosity, what he got was Belia's affirmative reply with a slight nod.
This time, he suddenly felt dull.
But soon, Chen Fan found a new way of entertainment: "But having said that, the pork this time is really raw. I think Diarmuid will be killed if he touches it, hahaha."
Mordred of Holy Rome looked at Chen Fan expressionlessly after hearing this hell joke. Belia was curious: "Who is Diarmuid?"
Chen Fan found out that Belia didn't know about Diarmuid's situation, and he suddenly became more energetic: "He is a legendary hero from the Holy Roman Empire. He is the Fei people led by Finn McCool, the most famous legendary hero in Ireland. One of the most famous members of the Knights of Ona, he is also Finn's most precious friend. He is the adopted son of Angus Mac Ogg, the god of love. He is a young hero who values love and justice, is brave and good at fighting.
At the engagement party between Finn, the leader of Fiona, and Princess Granny, the daughter of King Commack, Diarmuid was forced by Princess Granny to elope with her. After sixteen long years on the run, he reconciled with Finn through the mediation of his adoptive father Angus.
But Finn didn't really forgive Diarmuid. He knew that Diarmuid had been cursed to die by being turned into a wild boar by his half-brother, so he deliberately created an encounter between Diarmuid and the wild boar.
Diarmuid asked Finn to heal him, as he had healed many of Fianna's knights before. Osamu and Oscar also begged Finn to save Diarmuid. They knew clearly that as long as Diarmuid could drink water from Finn's palm, his injury would be healed. Finn reluctantly fetched water for the hero from a creek that was only nine steps away. But as he returned to Diarmuid, water in hand, he remembered how his rival had run away with Granny. The memory fueled his jealousy, so he let the water slip through his fingers. Diarmuid looked at Finn's actions in pain, and he and his companions begged Finn again. Diarmuid told the leader of the Fianna knights that Granny had given him a commandment and that he had no choice but to elope with her.
But Finn was once again overcome with jealousy and spilled the water before Diarmuid could drink. Upon seeing this, Oscar deliberately wanted to kill Diarmuid when he found out about Finn, so he threatened his biological grandfather that if he didn't save Diarmuid, he would not let him leave the mountain alive. The old leader of Fianna, afraid of his grandson's wrath, went to fetch water for the third time, but this time it was too late. Diarmuid had no breath, and left with his last regret and endless sorrow. Oscar held the corpse of his comrade and glared at Finn, angrily scolding his grandfather. What Finn did made the Fiona Warriors lose the reins of fighting.
Diarmuid's death not only made the members of Fiona sad, but also made them deeply remember Finn's abandonment of this loyal subordinate, and also remembered the dark side of this always just and kind leader. . "
"That's really tragic." Belia said thoughtfully, "It's understandable to be retaliated, but why does he bear the curse of being killed by a wild boar, or is it his half-brother?"
Now Chen Fan was stuck and looked at Mordred for help.
With a sigh, Mordred wiped his mouth and frowned as he recalled the stories he had heard: "This has to start with his life experience. Diarmuid is the son of Dongen, and Dongen is Fiona. The son of Audina in the Warriors. Diarmuid's mother is Clonuette, who is close to Finn. When Diarmuid was born, Donn was being exiled due to a quarrel with the members of the Warriors, so Ai and Finn Angus Mai Ogg, the god of youth, took the child back to Brunabon to raise him.
Soon after, Cronut became pregnant with another child, the father of whom was Loch Deokane, the Steward of Angus. So Locke went to ask Dong En if he would like to adopt the child like Angus raised Diarmuid, but Dong En said that he would not let a commoner's son into the house, so Angus took him away too.
One day, Finn was on the Almein Mountain in the province of Leinster. Besides Donn, he was only accompanied by a few poets and scholars from the Fiona Warriors, and the hunting dogs they brought with them. At this time Bran Baker reminded Finn that he had promised not to stay in Almayne for more than ten nights.
Finn asked his followers where they could spend the night, and Donn replied: "Let me lead you to Brunaborn, where Angus, son of Dagda, lives, where my son is fostered."
So the group came to Brunaborn. Little Diarmuid was loved by Angus there. The steward's son was there that night, and the people there treated him as well as Angus treated Diarmuid, much to Dongen's chagrin.
After a while, the opportunity came for him to vent his anger. Finn's two hounds fought over a piece of meat. The women and civilians present ran away, while others stood up and tried to pull the two dogs apart.
In the chaos, the steward's son ran past Dong En's crotch. Dong En pulled his knees together, killing him immediately. In order to prevent the crime from being exposed, Dongen threw his body under the paws of two dogs.
When the chaos subsided, the steward wailed when he discovered his son's body. He said to Finn: "No one in this riot tonight has suffered more than me. I only have one son, and he was killed." How are you going to make it up to me, Finn?"
"See if there are any dog teeth or paw prints on him," Finn said. "If there are, I will compensate you until you are satisfied."
So they examined the boy's body, which showed no claw or tooth marks at all. The chief steward cast a druid's curse on Finn and asked him to reveal the murderer.
Finn asked for a chessboard and a gold basin filled with water, and saw the truth in the water mirror. He planned to make his own decision, but the chief steward was dissatisfied and forced him to name the murderer. When he learned that the murderer was Dong En, the head steward said: "It is too easy to take revenge, because his son is here, and I will treat his son like that. If the child can escape safely, I will forgive him."
Angus's words and Don'en's behavior made Angus very angry. If Finn hadn't pulled him away, he would have knocked Don'en's head off. Afterwards, the Steward returned to the scene with the druid's staff and tapped his son's body with the staff, turning him into a magic pig with no mane, ears, or tail. Then, the Steward used the druid's most vicious curse: "I grant you a prohibition: you will lead Diarmuid, the grandson of Odina, to the path of death; your own life will not be worse than his. Long.”
Accepting the restraint, the wild boar jumped up and ran out of the wide open door. It later became known as 'The Cursed Boar of Sliver Guerion', and it was ultimately what led to Diarmuid's death. "
After listening to this story, Chen Fan made a conclusion: "So, for women, beauty is the source of disaster."
Then he was severely beaten by two beauties.
