,!

After reading this, Stephanie looked up, with obvious shock in her eyes, she looked at Sean, trying to find an answer.

But Sean just shook his head slightly, motioning for her to read on.

"The bard laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He fulfilled his long-cherished wish."

"Meet the end of the world and step on the beginning of the world."

"Every explorer is full of desire, desire sustains their progress, desire gives them all motivation - the wise bard recognizes this in the first test, but his desire is far more than the wise snake and the imagination of a robin."

"The bard happily took all the treasures on top of the mountain, his little sparrow shouting excitedly over his shoulder: 'It's all mine! It's all mine! Even the king—no, I'm the king of the new world!' '"

"Just when the bard was about to leave, he found that the blood oozing from the robin and the snake of wisdom was gradually merging, one blood stain was dark red, and the other blood stain was emerald green, when the two bloods mixed together When we were together, the whole world was shaking, as if it was about to collapse."

"The blood is intertwined to form a huge black gemstone. The thick black mist seems to be alive around the gemstone. The blue and endless sky seems to have opened a hole, and strange things have emerged from the hole. stuff then melted into the gem.”

"The bard is not afraid, he is just looking at the gem greedily, he knows that this must be the most valuable treasure!"

"He wants to take this gem away, but Little Sparrow can't think of a way."

"The bard finally used his ingenuity to remove the fragments from the black gemstone, and then, the incomplete black gemstone disappeared."

After reading this, it was the scene of the bard holding the black diamond-shaped crystal in the illustration. At first, it seemed a little weird, but after reading the above stories, even Stephanie, who was calm and calm, felt that the illustration was weird.

"The bard took all the treasure and the fragment of the black gem, and the world is shaking—"

"The mountains and rivers have dried up, the flowers and plants have withered, and the beautiful Taoyuan has become dark—"

Stephanie turned to the next page she hadn't read, and all of a sudden, her brows furrowed.

What came into view was another illustration, one after another of black cloak shadows were outlined on the yellowed parchment, a large transparent mouth opened in the sky, and inside it was a crazily surging black vortex. At the same time, there are black things of various shapes in the whole illustration, which seem to be some kind of weird dark magical creatures.

"Dementors and the Mouth of Silence..." Stephanie looked up at Sean.

Sean nodded, and when he saw the illustration, he was sure that this black rhombic crystal was the obsessive body.

Stephanie went on to read: "...the bard walks happily, satisfied with the new world."

"He played with the fragments of the black gemstone and mastered powerful abilities one after another."

"Black monsters flew all over the sky with him. The bard looked around and saw the little sparrow on his shoulder."

"'Bird, bird, you are indeed my soul, you did a good job.' The bard praised."

"But the little sparrow is a little weak, this world is going to collapse, and its power also comes from this world—"

"The bard thought for a while, and then stuck the black gem shards into the little sparrow's chest."

"The little sparrow let out a mournful cry and disappeared."

"Then, a dark figure appeared. He looked exactly like the bard, except that he was completely black. The black bard said happily: 'Oh, this feels really good.'"

"'From now on, you are another me!' laughed the bard."

"The black bard laughed and turned into mist and entered the deity's body."

"The world is shaking more and more. The bard hastened his pace of returning to the city. He saw the collapsed temple, the withered mountain, the dry mire, and the things he had seen before, but now Crying dead people."

"This scene made the bard want to dance with joy, and he danced the war dance of his hometown, happily escaping from this world."

"Oh, the exit is right in front of you, the bard smiled with satisfaction."

"Ah, he suddenly remembered that he is still a bard, and he has a moving voice."

"Stepping on the dry land, dark monsters were dancing around, he took a deep breath of the hot air that smelled of sulfur, and sang a moving song."

Stephanie's voice fell silent, and that was all for The Poet and the Ravenous Snake of Wisdom.

The girl closed the book, and with deep doubts in her eyes, she looked at Sean.

Sean kept frowning and thinking, until the library became empty due to the disappearance of the sound, then he raised his head.

"You see that too?" he asked.

Stephanie nodded: "It's weird... The bard has gone through seven tests in total, and those seven tests are exactly seven crimes."

"That's right, the gold and silver treasures in the first level are [greed], the beautiful women in the second level are [lust], the rich food and cooks in the third level are [gluttony], the fourth level The disrespectful person wants to anger the poet, that is [furious anger], the fifth level, the poet meets someone who is the same as him but better than him, that is [jealousy], the sixth level, wants to make the tired poet Stop moving forward, that's [laziness]..." Sean said softly.

Stephanie frowned: "In the story, the last test was driven away by the snake of wisdom, and it served as the last test, and that test should have been..."

Sean raised his brows: "That's right, the last level should have been [Arrogance]."

Stephanie looked at Sean, but her eyes didn't change in any way. She gently leaned against the bookshelf, tilted her head, and had a sense of cuteness that didn't match her usual temperament.

"Do you think that the level of the test in this story points to our crimes?"

Sean frowned: "This is a story after all, it may not be accurate, it may even be false - but I think this story is true to a certain extent, it may use what actually happened at that time as a dark fairy tale described in a manner."

Stephanie also nodded in deep agreement: "When I read it, I felt that this story might really have happened a long time ago."

Sean also leaned on the bookshelf, and by the way, pushed back a copy of "The Witch of Desire" behind him that was trying to stick out his tongue and lick his cheek.

He propped up half of his face and thought about it.

In the case of this story being true, the obsessive body is indeed a remarkable thing, although the specific source of this thing is not known, and even the story does not describe how the bard took off the obsessive body.

But it can be clearly seen that the person holding the obsessive body can indeed control dark creatures, and even has the ability that Sean has never seen-the little sparrow is the projection of the poet's own soul after entering the new world, and the obsessive The fusion of the body and the little sparrow actually created a thing like a dark clone.

Another point worth thinking about is, is the obsessive body in my hand the one that the bard got? If not, how did the original owner of the second obsessive body get this thing, and will there be a third or fourth piece?

Of course, Sean has another bold idea.

He looked up, meeting Stephanie's gaze.

The girl looked at him calmly: "I have a guess."

"I have one too."

"Are we thinking the same?"

"It looks very similar."

Stephanie pursed her lips: "Is it possible that bards really exist, and..."

Sean took a deep breath: "He has lived until now..."

What Sean didn't even say was: That bard is the leader of the returnees!

The two looked at each other again, and exhaled a long breath at the same time.

If that bard really lived to this day, how terrifying is the other party?

There was silence in the empty library for a while, and Stephanie spoke again: "Just keep it as a guess, and even if the guess is true, the bard must be in a bad state, otherwise, he would have ruled the world long ago .”

"That's right," Sean nodded, "but this story contains too much information, for example—what does the snake of wisdom represent, and what does the robin represent?"

"And that weird world." Stephanie added.

"I have some clues about that, I might know that world," Sean spread his hands, "Have you heard of Misty Illusion?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head, with a desire for knowledge showing in her eyes.

Sean simply took a moment to explain the Misty Illusion to Stephanie, and the other party nodded thoughtfully after listening: "So it's like this... According to your explanation, combined with this story—that world is probably Misty fantasy."

"That's right, the descriptions are all in line," Sean said.

Moreover, he thought of what he had said and shown when he transformed into Grindelwald to help process memories, and then one of the returnees, the invincible Andros.

The reason why their returnees returned was because of the collapse of the Misty Illusion.

This coincides with the scene of the world collapsing in the story.

The bard caused the collapse of the Mirage, and the spirits of the dead who existed there fled helplessly, and finally became the returnees in half-ghost form.

But if you look at it this way, the returnee may exist much earlier than Sean imagined. But according to the news from Grindelwald, the returnees have only slowly raised their heads in recent decades.

Returner...Returner...

Sean narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that the reason why they have slowly raised their heads in recent decades is because they have been on the way of "returning". They are special magical beings that are not accepted by reality and hell, so they have been stuck at the "gate" .

And did the bard also encounter the same predicament?

Even... he hasn't escaped yet?

Sean pressed his temple in some distress. The guess seems reasonable at the moment, but the guess is just a guess after all and needs to be confirmed.

Identity, identity, what he needs most now is the information that can confirm the identity of these pronouns.

Who is the snake of wisdom, who is the mocking bird, why the death of the two will lead to the collapse of the illusion, and who is the bard?

How did these seven crimes of mine get mixed into the story? Did the [arrogance] residing in his body also come into his body because of this story?

Stephanie looked through it again, and she said softly: "The last nursery rhyme also caught my attention."

Sean nodded, what does that weird nursery rhyme symbolize?

Stephanie compared the nursery rhymes and said, "It's strange that this is the verdict of the bird court. The sparrow killed the robin. This nursery rhyme is about the judgment of the sparrow, but at the end."

She turned the book and showed it to Sean:

"notice

Inform all related parties ~lightnovelpub.net~ of this announcement,

The sparrow will be judged,

At the next bird court. "

Sean frowned and said, "The sparrow is the embodiment of the bard's soul in the trance, but the sparrow has already been tried once, why should it be tried again in the next bird court?"

"This is worth noting, and the birds in it are all weird," Stephanie said, with some uncertain expressions on her face, "it feels very bad."

"You mean, the birds are actually... accomplices?" Sean raised his head sharply.

"That's right, the birds may all be accomplices... No! We forgot one thing!" Stephanie suddenly looked up.

"Um?"

The girl flipped through the books quickly.

"Author, who is the author of this book?"
