Dimi and Felix looked at their father blankly, their little minds unable to understand what this meant.
But soon, Felix almost jumped up with excitement and said in shock: "The other Dukes and Her Majesty the Queen all like the ancestors!?"
"Everyone likes it?" Dimi couldn't understand, and looked confused: "And there are two men and three women?"
However, when Di Mi looked up at the portrait in front of him, he suddenly understood his superficiality - for his ancestors, gender was not an insurmountable gap at all.
"It is said that the portrait is only one-tenth of the charm of the ancestor," Zhuxing Gong said: "Aside from his appearance, what is even more fatal about our ancestor is his charisma. He had many near-death encounters in his life, and every time, his subordinates were willing to sacrifice for him.
He stalled for time, and his legion fought to the last man without retreating. He was captured three times, but three times the enemy's top brass rebelled for him... It can even be said that the other four dukes were all won over by their ancestors.
They are loyal to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess for the sake of their ancestors."
Felix was shocked to the core, but Dimi had a suspicious look on his face, "Father, this sounds too...even more incredible than the knights my mother criticized."
"It's normal." Zhu Xinggong said: "I didn't believe it when I heard it for the first time, and the subsequent stories were even more bizarre."
"What happened next?" Felix looked forward to it, "Who did the ancestor choose to be with?"
"Among the five admirers, there are four legendary magicians and one founding queen." Duke Star Caster looked down at the children: "What do you think would happen if our ancestors chose one of them?"
Felix tilted his head: "Living together happily?"
Di Mi thought of a terrifying possibility: "If the ancestor's choice cannot satisfy everyone..."
"The newly established dynasty will become a sacrifice of their love." Duke Zhu Xing said: "In fact, during the battle, the conflicts and confrontations between the admirers have already become fierce and open. The coronation ceremony of the Golden Rose Queen, in addition to
Except for the ancestors, no one from the other four dukes was present."
"Even if the ancestor chooses to live his whole life, everyone will just think that he just doesn't have the guts to make a choice, so they will help him make a choice." "The legendary civil war is about to break out."
The children swallowed nervously, and Felix asked cautiously: "Then ancestors...how to solve this problem?"
For some unknown reason, Zhu Xinggong suddenly laughed. This was the first time they heard their father's laughter, but there was no trace of joy in it, only deep bitterness and ridicule.
"My ancestors met the dramatic poet at Ruby Mountain."
Dimi and Felix blinked, "Drama poet?"
Zhu Xinggong said: "You will understand in the future, now you just need to know that he is a person full of miracles. Although it is an encounter, I don't know whether it is the drama poet himself or the gift he left behind...
..In short, the dramatic poet helped the ancestors realize a wish."
"The dramatic poet made everyone dislike our ancestors."
The children were a little confused, "Huh?"
"It's not about deleting memories, it's not about changing the past, it's about distorting their feelings forever." Zhu Xinggong said: "Even if you lose your memory, you will still like the people you should like; even if you don't like it now, you may be attracted to it in the future. Only by letting them
Only by never having any feelings for our ancestors can this disaster be completely eradicated."
"Later, my ancestor married Mrs. An Lilian, who had grown up with him and had always secretly admired him. No one had any objections. Both the Duke and the Queen came to the wedding to send their blessings. That's why we have the Vosloda lineage.
"
He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
"If this story is true..." Di Mi thought for a while and said, "The ancestor was a very great person. He not only made his admirers let go of their worries, but also did not let their feelings turn into disasters.
.”
Lord Caster was noncommittal and looked at Felix, who was struggling on the other side. The latter hesitated for a while before saying, "I think our ancestor... is a bit stupid."
"why
What?"
"Since he can make the dramatic poet fulfill his wishes, why not let everyone like him and love each other?" Felix asked crisply: "The ancestor actually likes us too, right?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Xinggong's mouth, but it passed quickly: "I asked my father the same thing at the beginning."
"Because it's so old, we don't know if dramatic poets can satisfy this wish, but our ancestors should have never had this idea." He said: "In the future, if you look at the manuscripts and poems left by our ancestors, you can easily see that our ancestors were
A...pure lover."
"Pureist?" The children tilted their heads.
"To put it simply, he only pursues 100% pure love and does not believe that love can be shared." For some reason, Zhu Xinggong's voice had a bitter taste: "Perhaps because of his experiences as a boy, he cares about relationships very much.
The purity of love cannot be allowed to be tarnished by others or yourself."
"He never thought about loving so many people at the same time. In "Summer Night Poems", he used a trash can as a metaphor for himself, thinking that even if he didn't mean it, he felt very dirty when so many people fell in love with him.
Full of sin. When he made this wish to the dramatic poet, he planned to remain unmarried and alone for the rest of his life. However, Mrs. An Lilian never left her. He really could not let down one more person, so he got married and had children."
Although the children were confused, they couldn't help but feel that their ancestors were very powerful. When they looked at the portraits on the wall, in addition to yearning for beauty, they also had sincere respect in their eyes.
I thought the story would end here, but Duke Zhuxing suddenly said: "There is another reason why our ancestors did not plan to get married. That is, the dramatic poet's wish does not come without a price. Except for our ancestors, we Vosloda will be deeply cursed for generations.
, can’t get rid of it.”
"What!?" Felix was shocked. He quickly lowered his head and searched for it on his body, as if the curse was a centipede crawling around.
"What is the curse?" Dimi was much calmer. "My mother never told me about this."
"The curse message is behind the portrait," Lord Zhuxing said calmly, "If you are brave enough, take it down."
The two children looked at the large painting together. If they wanted to know the curse, they would have to remove the portrait of their ancestor?
Duke Zhuxing turned around and left. When he walked to the door of the secret room, he found two children running over in a hurry. There was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes, and he said, "Have you given up?"
"Father!" Dimi said loudly: "We can't even dig it out, please help!"
Ten seconds later, the portrait of his ancestor was lying on the carpet in the secret room, revealing the back of the drawing board. In the dark black drawing board, there were several lines of meaningful writing. Felix almost put his eyes to look at it, his expression was very serious, and finally he had no choice but to lift the small
Brain: "These words are so complicated!"
Not to mention Felix, even Dimi couldn't understand it. He still only knew the most formal characters. The elegant and beautiful fonts of his ancestors were too difficult for him.
Zhuxing Gong half-knelt among them, pointing at the words above, and translating sentence by sentence:
"I thought I had a choice, but in fact, no matter what choice I made, it was wrong."
"I thought I could be kind, but in fact no matter what I did, it was sin."
"I finally understand what the poet said, my price is my sin."
"I thought I could judge whether other people's love was correct, so Vosloda would fall in love with the wrong person."
Felix was confused.
"I think I can judge whether other people's hatred is wrong, so Vosloda will hate people who cannot be hated."
Dimi thought hard about the meaning of these words.
"I think I can judge whether others are happy or not, so Vosloda will always live in pain, never having peace and receiving no reward."
Zhu Xinggong recited these words expressionlessly.
"I let others not get what they ask for, so Vosloda will also get what he asks for."
"After hundreds of years of experience, a lifetime of wandering, in the end, looking back, I feel that all my gratitude has been exhausted and nothing has been accomplished. Birth, old age, illness and death, love and hate, separation, everything is...
"Asking but not getting."
.......
...
In the Star Bridge Hall, the blond young man looked at Felix and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, kid."
Miss Vosloda shed two lines of tears without knowing it. She kept wiping them with the back of her hands, but the tears became more and more, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in the past ten years.
And Ash and others also realized that if Felix's ancestor, the legendary magician from thousands of years ago, was not dead, there was only one possibility -
"The stars are the Dharma, and the messengers are the laws."
"I am the Angel of Sword and Rhythm under the Fan Constellation." Sword and Rhythm looked at Ash, but his feminine gaze was so sharp that it stung Ash's eyes: "In accordance with the supreme decree, I came to welcome Ash Hiss into the Lord's Heaven.
