The old snake laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "I'm just a being who was exiled to this land by the goddess of the night. I don't remember my name for a long time."
"Exile?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
After hearing Old Snake's words, combined with Grandma Wolf's crazy curse before she died, thoughts flashed through his mind, and he made some inferences about the world beneath his feet.
Perhaps this is indeed the divine kingdom of the goddess of the night, but at the same time, it is also a prison cage where she imprisons certain extraordinary beings.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Old Snake shook his head and said, "Looking at the direction you were going just now, you should be coming from Granny Wolf's cabin in the forest. How about we make a deal?"
"Deal? What do you want?" Enzo asked.
"Help me steal something from Granny Wolf." A faint light flashed through Old Snake's vertical pupils, and he said in a hoarse voice: "That is a beating heart, an iron box that Granny Wolf placed in the cabin in the forest.
in."
"Grandma Wolf will gradually relax her vigilance against the outside world every night. As long as you can help me get the heart in the iron box, how about I tell you a secret about this world?"
The Old Snake's tone was full of temptation, the scarlet Snake Xinzi swallowed and vomited, and the expression on his face was like a devil tempting the world to fall.
"A beating heart?"
Enzo's eyes flashed, he took out a bright red object from his body and said, "You mean this thing?"
Old Snake's pupils shrank for a while, and there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "Why is it in your hands? Could it be that... you killed Granny Wolf!?"
Enzo's face remained calm, but the Soul Bone Wand quietly appeared in his hand. The magic power in his body vibrated slightly, ready to enter combat mode at any time.
"Haha, don't be nervous."
When Old Snake saw this, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "I have nothing to do with Grandma Wolf. I was just a little surprised when I suddenly heard such news."
After saying that, Old Snake sighed and murmured, "However, this ending may be a good choice for her..."
"What's going on with Granny Wolf?" Enzo asked.
"She, like me, is a prisoner exiled here by the goddess of the night." Old Snake shook his head and said, "But Granny Wolf and I have different choices!"
"After being trapped here for countless years, I have long been able to face everything around me calmly."
"However... Granny Wolf could not accept her fate. Perhaps a thousand years ago, she had lost her mind and fell into madness because she could not escape..."
Then, Old Snake chuckled and said.
"Although our strength has been almost exhausted during the long years of being trapped here, if Granny Wolf hadn't been asking for death in her heart, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill her!"
Enzo's heart moved, and he remembered Granny Wolf's crazy laughter before she died. She didn't seem to be afraid of death, but felt that it was a kind of relief.
"Give me Granny Wolf's heart."
The old snake said again, "This thing is worthless to you. In exchange, I can tell you a secret."
"Why do you want this heart?" Enzo's heart moved.
"In this dark forest, there are many people like me who have been exiled by the goddess of the night."
Old Snake spoke slowly and explained, "The goddess of the night left a symbol with divine power restrictions to everyone, and restricted us to only move in areas restricted by the symbol. If we want to expand the scope, we can only plunder other areas."
Symbols in human hands."
"But as I just said, if we can't leave our own area, how can we plunder other people's symbols?"
"Is this heart the symbol of Granny Wolf?"
Enzo thought thoughtfully and said, "So, you want to get it just to expand your territory!"
There are many extraordinary beings imprisoned in the black forest, and the symbol with the power of the goddess of the night is a kind of restriction, but at the same time it represents a kind of authority.
The area to which the symbol belongs is the territory of a "prisoner", and other "prisoners" are not allowed to enter.
If Old Snake wants to expand his territory, he needs to plunder other people's symbols. But since he cannot leave this area, he can only place his hope on Enzo.
Outsiders are not prisoners, have no symbols or territory, and are naturally not subject to regional restrictions.
"So that's it..." Enzo gradually understood.
Granny Wolf used inducement to trick Enzo into eating the heart, because in this way, she could be liberated and transfer the authority and restrictions represented by the symbol to Enzo.
"Fortunately, there is a chip reminder!"
Enzo felt a sense of joy in his heart. If he ate the heart, he would probably be imprisoned here forever like Granny Wolf and Old Man Snake.
"How's it going? Have you thought about it?"
Old Snake spoke again and asked, "Unless you want to be imprisoned here, symbols have no meaning to you. How about exchanging my secrets?"
Enzo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I can give you this heart, but you must first tell the secret of rice!"
"sure, no problem."
Old Snake readily agreed, and then asked, "Do you know why the goddess of the night imprisoned us here?"
"Because... you have committed certain crimes?" Enzo thought for a while and replied.
"Sin? Haha, maybe!"
A strange look appeared on Old Snake's face, and he said faintly: "I have indeed done many things in my long life, but if they are just sins, that aloof goddess of the night will not waste a single energy on this."
As he spoke, Old Snake's eyes flashed with luster.
"The goddess of the night imprisoned us just to help her guard the "door"!"
"Door?" Enzo's eyes flashed.
"Yes, door!" Old Snake paused, then continued, "The land under our feet belongs to the kingdom of the goddess of the night. Before she fell asleep, she left a thousand doors to store her treasures."
"And every door has a watcher. As long as someone can defeat the watcher, he will be qualified to enter the "door" and take away a treasure left by the goddess of the night!"
Enzo's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the iron door that appeared on the fireplace in the forest hut after Granny Wolf was burned to death.
"Haha, after Granny Wolf died, she also left her own door, right?"
As if he had seen through Enzo's thoughts, Old Snake smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, after the door appears, if no one opens it within a certain period of time, it will be automatically blocked."
The implication is that Enzo has lost the chance to open the door left by Granny Wolf.
