Jiang Han pondered his words and asked cautiously: "How bad does that place have to be for you to think it is a place of depravity and sin?"
She told what she heard.
"In fact, I checked it myself on the Internet..."
Ever since she heard what Anjie said, she had become curious about Avalon, so she did a little search on the Internet, but the fact was...
"...It's very strange that there are not many witches commenting, but many land people and witches commenting, calling it an ideal land."
Jiang Han saw it.
She saw Sophia and Pricia exchanging strange expressions, which made her very unhappy, as if something was keeping her in the dark.
So she strengthened her tone: "Angelette told me that I can go there to buy a Holy Grail trial...she told me!"
At this time, the ghost witches let down their guard and some weird defensiveness.
Turning to Priscilla, she smiled and said, "Hey, you told me earlier, didn't you? We thought you just inquired about it and wanted to go there. You said Avalon, that place is nothing short of unique."
"Unique." Sophia smiled strangely, made an OK gesture with her left hand, and rotated her index finger with her right hand.
"Hey, it's like a dream and an illusion." Pricia's smile became much more real, and it had an unexpected sense of wretchedness.
"Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom Spring." Sophia's smile also became lewd.
The behavior of the two ghost witches made Jiang Han purse her lips and say nothing.
Meow! The cat feels like it knows where that place is!
She thought: The ghost witches are considered very cautious witches, but even if they show such a state, it means that that place is indeed not a place for good people to go.
But even though he understood, Jiang Han still pretended not to understand and asked: "Could you be more detailed?"
"You have probably heard of the fairy tale "Fragrance of the Fairy", right? Among the mainlanders and witches. If you are a witch who knows something about Europe, you should have heard of this fairy tale."
Jiang Han nodded.
She said: "When I was searching about Avalon, I saw this story. Does it have any special meaning? These stories."
Pricia cleared her throat and told the story.
The original text is very long.
Pricia only said a few key words.
…
The story goes like this. A little girl has longed for the life of a witch since she was a child. At her mother's house, she heard the story of the ladder that ascends to the sky at the other end of the forest. One day, her mother gave her a witch.
A bottle of nettle wine and gray bread, and let her pursue her dream, which is to go to the witch's island above the stairs in the sky.
The little girl sets out and meets three witches in the forest.
The first witch drank her nettle wine, accidentally broke the bottle, and gave her a pair of red dancing shoes so that she could avoid the thorns in the forest.
The second witch ate her gray bread, accidentally threw away the tablecloth, and gave her a bag of fairy dust so that she could fight off the werewolves in the forest.
The third witch was right in front of the stairs. She looked at the little girl who had gone through hardships, took off her red cloak and put it on her to keep her away from the pain and cold.
The little girl walked up the stairs and arrived at the empty island. She said:
"This is Avalon, this is where I seek pain and beauty. Avalon, leave my heart in Avalon."
…
This fairy tale is a European fairy tale from mainland people.
Jiang Han listened again and shook his head in confusion: "Isn't this just a fairy tale about a land man looking for the witch's hometown? What's so important?"
"What's important is not the fairy tale, but the story behind her. This story is very important, very important. Sister, if you want to find a similar place, you should know the meaning behind the story."
Pricia is a rare scholar.
Sophia said next to her: "Yes, first of all, the little girl in the story comes from Europe. You also know how we treat mainlanders and witches in Europe, right? So why would a little girl worship a witch?"
"..."
Jiang Han noticed the contradiction, touched his chin, and reluctantly thought of a possibility: "Is it because the witch treats them... very well? I mean it's a special case."
"Then why are the witches in Europe nice to them?"
Sophia said: "This is a metaphor for the story. This detail alone can be interpreted in many ways, such as 'They have a very good witch master', 'Their ancestors had a witch',"
They have created a lot of value for the witches'...and behind the forest, there is a metaphor called 'empty forest without mountains and water', which is a hint that 'their village is a village trapped by witches'."
"..."
"The little girl's mother gave her gray bread and nettle wine. Nettle wine is a metaphor for 'instability and pain' and is a medicinal wine. Gray bread is a metaphor for 'the essence of land people's life'. The first witch drank
Her wine, that is, her medicinal wine, broke the bottle. The bottle also implies chastity. And the red dancing shoes represent some kind of profession that cannot be described in detail..."
Pricia explained:
"The eaten gray bread represents her land life being swallowed up, the thrown away tablecloth probably means that she has become a wandering maiden, and the fairy dust is the equivalent exchange between ancient witches, that is,
The concept of 'money'. Werewolves represent guards and tax collectors in the witch's territory. It is normal for them to be driven away by money."
"And the third witch led the girl's ultimate corruption."
Priscilla spread her hands and said: "I gave her the red cloak and took her to the empty island to let her feel the 'pain and sweetness'. Do you understand? This is a metaphor from a fairy tale."
…………
After listening to the whole fairy tale metaphor, Jiang Han felt that the whole cat was about to get sick.
Meow!
"You read such a dark thing to children!?"
"What does it matter? If you don't understand the metaphor, this is a simple fairy tale about a little girl who successfully walked to the witch's territory and lived in it with the food and drink given by her mother!" Sophia said, "Now you know
Why is Avalon a place of sin and depravity?"
"If you want to go, I suggest you find a good bodyguard. With your conditions, you will be very popular." Priscilla joked.
