"fairy tales?"

"Yes, the ancient fairy tale "Water of Wisdom", my writer friend and I mentioned this."

Xia De nodded, turned his head and raised the portable kerosene lamp in his hand to illuminate the stele again, coughed and translated:

"Kings, warriors, and scholars, sought out the wise man of the lake, seeking solutions to difficult problems. The wise man, who lived alone, took water from the lake in a bottle and claimed that it was the water of wisdom that would bring them answers. But each must Ask your own questions, only the hardest ones are worth using this treasure."

Xia De paused, and slowly moved the kerosene lamp in his hand down:

"The king raised the problem of governing the kingdom, the brave raised the problem of fighting the dragon, and the scholar proposed the problem of cracking the ancient box. In order to obtain the water of wisdom, the king sent an army to fight the dragon, and the brave smashed the box with his sword. , the scholars came up with ways to govern the kingdom. Everyone gained wisdom, so the wise men poured that water back into the lake."

Reaching forward and touching the stele to confirm that it is not a relic, Xia De read out the last sentence:

[Knowledge is power, extraordinary wisdom is the most precious wealth. 】

The last line of text is cursive ancient letters, and the end of fairy tales is usually used in this way to summarize the thoughts expressed in the story, or to sublimate the theme-Dorothy believes that this is to make the story look more interesting than the writers thought. profound.

"Nun, that's all the content above. Of course, some letters are really vague, so I rely on guesswork to figure out the meaning. There may be problems with the details, but this is roughly the story."

Taking a step back, he stood with Sister Devlin and looked at the stele:

"In the past few months, I have often encountered situations where the stories themselves are metaphors for what happened. The nuns, perhaps kings, warriors and scholars, themselves refer to some kind of divided but united forces. These ancient fairy tales, once connected with legends Together, the more you think about it, the more interesting it is.”

Xia De smiled. Folklore, fairy tales and literature are the keys to the past, and foreigners are very interested in them.

The fairy tale "Water of Wisdom" is very famous in this world, and it is an interesting and educational fairy tale. Not only literature itself, but also adapted into various versions of dramas and operas. In different versions, the three professions of king, warrior and scholar will also be replaced by roles such as gamblers, knights, merchants, and even dragons. The flow of the story is much the same.

In operas, there is usually an act of the three visitors going to the lake, a conversation with the scholar in one act, and a final act of solving problems with each other.

This is a more famous local fairy tale than "Kiss of the Tree". Its discussions on honor, wisdom and unity have influenced contemporary literature in the steam age, and "Water of Wisdom" represents the wisdom that does not exist but tempts people The concept of , also deeply affects the thinking about wisdom and sin - the above content is mentioned by the blond writer Miss and Shade.

Xia De is quite confident that this fairy tale was not brought into this world by himself, a foreigner, but a local fairy tale.

Sister Devlin hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"Although the content is somewhat unexpected, at least it's not completely useless. It seems that the church is looking for some ring magicians who are proficient in ancient literature to find help."

Dorothy and Rezia are both proficient, but the person Sister Devlin needs to find is probably more proficient in these fairy tales than them:

"Nun, do you know [The Priory of Guiding Light]?"

Xia De thought for a while and asked, then took a last look at the stele, turned around and left with Sister Devlin.

The nun wearing a silver blindfold nodded slightly:

"I know, they believe in doomsday theory and are actively preparing for it. But the Priory does not have a public institution, and it is difficult to find them."

"I know a few of them. One of them guards the lighthouse in Coldwater Harbor and runs the black market for Ring Warlocks. I will tell you his location, and you can send someone to ask him."

It was Mr. Edmund, the folklorist, that Shard said.

"Okay, the area around Lengshui Harbor also has Shexin Hospital."

Sister Devlin hesitated for a moment:

"Xia De, you are willing to help the order, and we will not treat our friends badly. On the cliff of Mount Xikar last Wednesday, you said that you don't want to repay, you just want to know the truth. But I can't tell you whether the end of the world It's real, so what else do you need?"

In fact, Chuhuo itself is power, and Xia De does not need nuns to provide compensation. But seeing this nun who usually speaks very coldly, she looked very determined at this moment, so he thought for a while:

"Does the spiritual practice group know the real legends related to the gods? For example, the gods have left power in a certain place, or some evil gods have some special items, or the saints have stayed in a certain place."

This is a preparation for the next drop of divinity. If Xia De can find the divinity sealed in the material world again, such as the divinity in the [God's Gift Box] and the golden pearl of the murloc, then of course there is no need to borrow [ Blasphemy Cross] to extract. But if he was unlucky, he might have to face the gods again.

The nun thought for a while:

"There are many such legends all over the Old World, but for the more real ones, I can only think of the 'Ice and Snow God Hunting Ceremony' in the extreme north of the Old World, and the 'Goddess of the Lake' near the city of Carson Rick Huntington in the middle of the Old World Legends, and stories about forest spirits in the primeval forests at the southern tip of the Old Continent."

Xia De wrote down the information and planned to ask Mr. Edmond for further advice. The nun added:

"Although I don't know what you want to do, it must be very dangerous to explore these legends related to the great people. There are many books in the library of the mission. If you need it, you can come to it from the entrance of the Serpent Heart Hospital in Mibao at any time. Here, Shad, you are a friend of the Order."

She retracted the burning flame in the center of the sacrificial field, pulled out the [Ash] long sword, and left with Xia De.

[Ask her one thing. 】

A whisper sounded in his ear, and Xia De suddenly asked again:

"Sister, when you arrived at Lake Pena on Wednesday night and saw my cat, I mean, when you saw Mia, did it already have that blood-red ring on its tail?"

"Yes."

Xia De widened his eyes slightly, and asked again:

"After the Battle of Fort Midhill, did the church find other relics related to blood-sucking species in Mount Xikal?"

The nun nodded:

"Yes, after the **** left, he did not take away the relics used for summoning. Now, these relics have been transferred to different parishes to prevent them from being aggregated by vampires again."

Xia De was finally relieved, the [Vampire Ring] appeared on Mia's tail, probably after he defeated the Vampire God, the ring happened to fall on the shore of Lake Bena, and was picked up by the cat waiting for Shad.

This afternoon, Xia De stayed at the residence of the [Spiritual Practice Order], listening to Sister Daveline's introduction to the order, and obtained a better way to use the first fire from her.

In the evening, Sister Divelin sent Shade back to Middlehill Castle. At this time, the autumn rain had just stopped. Although there was a lot of water on the road, it was no longer raining. Xia De took a carriage from the Snake Heart Hospital to Loranta Manor where Miss Aurora lived.

The matter of the third chosen person is over, and this great witch is leaving Midhill Castle. She still remembered that Xia De had promised to attend the banquet held by her, so when she had dinner that night, she formally invited Xia De to attend her farewell banquet on Wednesday.

Xia De naturally agreed. Although he was eager to find a new divinity, he had decided to temporarily put aside other things and take a break to relieve the fatigue since the beginning of autumn.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I returned home from Midhill Castle, and Xia De went to Luvia's rented apartment again. At ten o'clock, he threw the flame from the kerosene lamp into Luvia's house. in the brazier.

Sister Devlin's clone walked out of the brazier, but because it was a clone that appeared from a long distance, it was similar to a projection, and it didn't even have the ability to fight. But that's enough, after all, this time is just for conversation.

Xia De didn't know what Luvia and Sister Devlin said, because he didn't stay, but went home tired and let Luvia talk alone. The purple-eyed girl seemed to have some things she didn't want Xia De to know, and Xia De also respected her secret.

It was only when the door was opened with the key that the lights were on in the foyer and on the stairs. Xia De hesitated for a moment, he clearly remembered that he turned off the lights when he left:

"A burglar broke into the house? Who would be so bold as to steal in the square of Saint Teresa?"

He came to the second floor with the cat who went downstairs to meet him, only to see Dorothy sitting on the sofa.

Hearing footsteps, Miss Writer stood up from the sofa:

"Good evening, Shad. I'm here to return the key."

She shook the key in her hand, which was given to her by Shad on Saturday night, but because many things happened that night, Shad forgot to ask for the key back.

"Return the key? No need, this key belongs to you~lightnovelpub.net~ Xia De put his coat on the hanger at the door and said:

"Don't you often come to my place to look through the detective records in the study? With this key, you can come in at any time even if I'm not at home."

He tried to keep his tone as normal as possible.

"Is it mine?"

The blonde girl showed a bright smile, did not refuse, and carefully put it into the pocket of her skirt:

"This Wednesday, the first volume of "Hamilton's Detective Stories" will be released. I brought you a box of books that you can give to your friends. I put those books in your study. ...But, when I passed the door of your bedroom just now, why did your bed disappear?"

"After Saturday night, it collapsed. Later, Leizia's maid came to clean up the carpet and the flowers, and took away the wreckage of the bed. Leiziya said that she would pick out new furniture for me this week and redecorate the bedroom."

Xia De said hesitantly, not letting himself show a strange expression.

But Miss Writer understood what he wanted to express almost immediately. She blushed slightly, wanted to laugh but felt a little shy:

"Really, Rezia was so excited that night. I will talk to Rezia tomorrow and ask her to get a new bed as soon as possible, otherwise you will sleep on the sofa... This time it will definitely be strong. "
