In Isukun City in the depth of winter, the breath turns to frost.
In these extremely cold weather, the Bitter Rose Tavern in the southeast corner of the city is still full of excitement and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.
The drunkards, gangsters, adventurers, and prostitutes in the city gathered around a middle-aged, elegant-looking bard in the middle of the tavern, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
One gangster couldn't help but opened his mouth and asked, "That woman named Sophie, can she really spit out gold as soon as she opens her mouth?"
"Yes, you heard it right. In my place, all that comes out of your mouth is saliva, but for that lucky guy, several gold coins fell on the ground when he said this." The person who was asked
The bard who arrived replied matter-of-factly.
The gangster's eyes were filled with greed and he swallowed his saliva, "Oh my God! How could there be such a magical dwarf? As long as you pay half a piece of bread, you can get such a magical ability. If it were me, even a piece of bread
Bread, ten pieces of bread, I’ll give you all!”
The bard just smiled and said nothing.
When the others heard this, they all laughed.
One of them even sneered directly, "Come on, Rex, your bread will either be exchanged for Julia's overnight fee, or it will be turned into wine in your stomach, ten pieces of bread, hahaha, how can you be so selfish as a ghost?"
take it out?"
Rex, the drunkard who was being ridiculed, turned red when he heard this. He glared at the drunkard who was mocking him, "Maren, you guy with a butt on your head..."
Seeing that these two drunkards tended to have a disagreement, some people in the tavern were unwilling to do so. A hoarse voice sounded, "Stop arguing, I want to continue listening to the following story! If you continue to argue, I will throw you out.
!”
These words resonated with most of the people present. In other words, bullying the weak is something that most people in the tavern like to see. They also started to make noises and nodded, saying, "That's right. If you keep making noises, you will be thrown out!"
"Take off your clothes and throw them out!"
"Throw it away! I have long disliked these two guys..."
When the crowd was so angry, the two drunkards did not dare to speak. They shrank their heads and acted like ostriches.
The people in the tavern cursed a few more times, but found that neither of them dared to answer, and they suddenly felt bored.
The attention is really focused on the story the bard told today.
"Cohen, what happened next? What happened next?"
Cohen is the name of the bard. After he heard this question, a flash of memory flashed deep in his eyes, and he said, "Later, the kind-hearted Sophie girl was lucky enough to pick the peaches in the winter in the swept back garden.
Blueberries appear in it.”
"She went home happily. The blessings of the three destiny dwarves also took effect. Sophie became more and more beautiful day by day, just like Angel walking out of heaven. As soon as she spoke, a piece of gold spit out.
When I was chatting with her, before I finished speaking, the floor of the house was almost covered with a layer of gold."
"Wow! With so much gold, this Sophie girl will live a happy life, right? She won't have to worry about her stepmother anymore, right?" A prostitute in the tavern took on the role of Sophie and asked
.
The bard shook his head gently and sighed, "The power of the world is like a rope, binding us! Although Sophie has this magical ability, she is a kind girl, and she still can't get rid of her
Stepmother.”
"What did her stepmother do again?"
"Sophie's ability naturally aroused her stepmother's jealousy, and Sophie's stepmother immediately asked about the source of her ability!" the bard replied.
"She said that?"
"Yes, she didn't dare to go against her stepmother's wishes!" The bard nodded.
"What a fool!" The prostitute immediately cursed with anger on her face, "She already has so much gold, why does she still have to worry about her stepmother? Her stepmother had the idea to buy her with gold.
Forget it if the killer kills her stepmother! At the worst, you can leave that home! Then you won’t be angry with this evil woman!”
"The most outrageous thing is that this stupid woman actually told her stepmother the reason. It's so..." The female listener looked very excited.
The bard had a calm look on his face. He quietly waited for the woman's mood to calm down.
But he can wait, but the others in the tavern can't wait. They are eager to know the development of this story.
So they urged the bard to continue.
The bard refused to accept anyone who came, and when someone asked, he continued, "Sophie told her stepmother about the three dwarves, and her stepmother asked her own daughter to go to the forest to find the three dwarves."
"Before leaving, she prepared a thick fur coat for her daughter, and also brought buttered bread and cakes for her to eat on the way. Then her daughter set off."
"How is it? She also found the residence of the three dwarves?" someone in the tavern asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Hearing this, many people in the tavern had regretful looks in their eyes.
It seems that the person who takes on the role of Sophie is not just the prostitute!
"However, I found it after searching, but Sophie's sister entered other people's homes without even saying hello. The dwarf begged her for food, but was refused. The dwarf asked her to clear the snow, but was also refused.
"The bard said calmly.
"The three dwarves of destiny thought she was a mean-spirited little slacker! So the three dwarves cursed her:"
"The first dwarf cursed her, making her look uglier every day!"
"The second dwarf cursed her so that a toad would jump out of her mouth whenever she spoke!"
"The third dwarf cursed her so that she would die badly!"
"From that day on, this bad guy became uglier day by day, spitting out toads every time he spoke!"
"Very good!"
"That's how you deal with this guy!"
"Damned people who get something for nothing should end up like this!"
"..."
Hearing such a result, the people in the tavern were very excited. They seemed to have won a battle. Whether they were on the bed or under the bed, they were all elated and couldn't help shouting loudly. It didn't seem like this,
I can't express my excitement.
The bard watched quietly the whole time without interrupting.
After a while, the tavern became quiet. A pair of eyes looked at the bard with expectant eyes, "What happened next? Didn't the dwarves wish Sophie that she would marry a king in the future? Has this come true? The king really
Are you willing to marry a freeman who is not even a noble?"
"Of course! The result of the destiny dwarf's blessing will not change. This is the power of destiny and the power of blessing!"
A glimmer of unknown meaning flashed in the depths of the bard's eyes, but no one present noticed this.
Even William, who was hiding among the crowd and possessed the magic mirror, did not notice this.
