Chapter 1132 (1/1)
The front stalls are still sparse. As far as urban planning is concerned, there should not be a street so straight and long. Obviously, this is magic. It separates the distance between stalls, resulting in the length of this black street far exceeding its actual length. This is not a difficult thing, the dark itself can be used as a carrier of many magic, there is no clear distance and position in the environment without light or dim light, a little modification can achieve unexpected effect. As for the purpose of doing so, it is estimated that, on the one hand, it is for the sake of safety. Some thieves and pickpockets in the ordinary bazaar are just as good. It is always hard for such guys to appear in the black street. On the other hand, it may also take into account the privacy needed by the people doing business here. The less people who know about this transaction, the better.
This worry about privacy may also be the reason why most black street stall owners are not very interested in passers-by. For them, people who really want to buy their own goods will not bring so many companions. In other words, the goods sold at these stalls are more or less capable of disrupting normal order. A mixture of various psychedelic drugs, anesthetics and other uses is only the most basic; a needle that can miscarry a pregnant woman; a candy that can cripple a child The things sold here are just selling the darkest and cruelest desires of human beings. Compared with them, the charms and magic on them are not worth mentioning.
”Where did you get this ring?” Cheese leaned down and carefully picked up a gray ring with his gloved hand. With his gentle blow, the floating earth on the ring scattered, revealing bright diamonds. This is a wedding ring, to be exact, it is an engagement ring, which is given by the man to the woman. Why do wedding rings appear in black street stalls? And in such an underappreciated way?
”I don't know.” The dwarf with only one eye at the back of the stall replied very simply. Unlike their compatriots in the Cang lion, these simple creatures are easily influenced by the outside world. Therefore, the running dwarfs can't be killed by candy. They are famous thieves and stalkers in the city. However, perhaps because of the two glimmers under the cheese hood, or because he had never polished the ring himself, he continued to explain, ”this thing has been turned many times in my hand, and no one knows its origin.”
”Well, it's better. It's really vicious.” Cheese nodded, but did not put down the ring, he looked at the vendor, ”make a price, but please don't be too high, I know everything about it.”
This is the first time cheese asked the price seriously after entering the black street. Therefore, not only the seller of the deal, but also other people standing on the side of the deal came together to hear why the wedding ring moved him. The dwarf stall owner scratched his cheek, and his curiosity finally defeated the rationality of the businessman. ”Tell me what this ring is for. You're right. I don't want any money for this ring.”
The mage shrugged and looked at the inner ring of the eye ring by the light of the fire. If it is a well-made wedding ring, it is often engraved with the name or abbreviation of the proposed and the suitor, but there is nothing in this ring. His mouth immediately showed a smile, as if to see something very happy, ”you ask me what the role of this ring is? First of all, it is an engagement ring. It is a keepsake given by the man to the woman. When the woman agrees, she will wear it on her hand, indicating that she has a partner ready to spend the rest of her life with. Of course, for this ring, it has another function, curse. ”
”Whoever wears the ring is cursed. A cursed person will encounter one of the most painful things a person can experience, and she will see her own time of death. It's not a vague fable, but a countdown. She will watch her life come to an end bit by bit, and death will haunt her at every moment. Can you imagine how vicious the curse is? It won't kill her, but it will make her realize that all the good things she has experienced will decline. It will take away a person's ability to be happy, let her live in fear and worry forever, and have to face the doomed ending
The description of cheese made all the people present feel a faint fear. As the stall owner, the dwarfs have obvious disgust when they look at the ring. He had only known that the ring could show the date of death, but he had not thought that it would be so cruel. However, unlike most people's reactions, Mrs. Theresa was in a good mood. She looked at the ring and said, ”I think the person who made this ring must have a deep hatred. He must have hated a woman so much that he put such a terrible curse on her engagement ring. You say you know everything about this ring, and you must know its story, right? ”
The poor craftsman met the runaway princess. They knew and loved each other. But when the prince appeared, the princess threw herself into the arms of the latter without hesitation. The abandoned craftsman was engulfed by anger and resentment. He traded with the devil for talent, craftsmanship and the power of curse. He put all his skills, all his hatred, all the good and bad into this ring, making it the sweetest poisonous fruit.
Such stories quickly take shape in people's minds. Although the details of the stories will be different due to their cultural background, they are almost the same. It must be a tragic love story, and it may be very suitable to be rewritten by bards and sung to people. But cheese didn't lie or exaggerate. He saw the origin of the ring at a glance, knew who made it, and figured out why to make it. ”In fact, it's not as tortuous as you think. This ring is indeed made to give to a woman who is very important to the maker, but the woman has no empathy. On the contrary, the relationship between the two was quite good. And the reason why he wanted to give her such a curse ring was not to torture her. At least I guess he didn't realize that, because that's what he experienced. I'm afraid he just wants the other party to share the world he sees, hoping to reach a higher level of integration with that woman in this way. ””The normality of men. The person you are talking about must be very self-sufficient and have achieved certain achievements. It may be the Lord or the king. He thinks that he is carrying a lot of pressure, but others don't know. He is pitying himself and pulling women together. He doesn't love this woman at all. He just loves himself. He thinks that only he knows himself Mrs. Theresa's words were quite fierce, but the people present, especially the men, could not immediately come forward to refute. After all, most of the time, it's not their own men who know men. Similarly, women are the same.
”Yes, you are right. The man I know is exactly like that. However, perhaps it should be said that he used to be like that, because he did not complete the ring, he did not engrave the name of the woman in the ring, so the ring became a state that could be worn and taken off at any time. So I also believe that he didn't let the woman see the ring and abandoned it. Therefore, it will flow here. Maybe it was the fool who finally understood. He didn't do anything stupid Cheese said with a smile and looked at the owner again.
”How about it? I've told you everything I know. Anyway, it's still a ring for the wearer to see when he's dead, and I'll take it if you ask for it
The dwarf waved, ”this thing is too ominous and useless! Who would like to see their own death? What fool will wear it to torture himself all the time? You can take it. I know this story is enough. ”
