"Are those women witches?" William wondered in his mind as he walked on the dirt road in the country.
"No, if those people in the unreturnable carnival hotel were under the witch's spell, then I don't see the point." As a third-level wizard, she is equivalent to the red-robed witch among witches.
Realm, William has this confidence.
"Then if they are not witches, which dark force do they belong to? What is the purpose of doing this? Where have they gone?" More questions arose in William's mind.
"What kind of power could make that hotel become what it is now?" William frowned more deeply as he thought about it.
Suddenly, he stopped and ordered to the magic mirror in his arms, "Mirror, mirror, with the village at my feet as the center, search for a hundred kilometers, oh, no, search for an area within a thousand kilometers.
Those women who are moving strangely, especially those in groups, will be marked out for me."
"Okay, Master." The magic mirror replied.
After a while, the magic mirror completed its detection and transmitted the various targets it detected that met William's conditions to William's mind, allowing William to have an intuitive impression of these suspected objects.
Not to mention, the magic mirror also found a few witches, but the "drunk, rude and arrogant" woman that the villagers said was not found.
"Is this really the case again?" William thought to himself, he knew that these women were not that simple.
"Huh..." William suddenly thought of a person, or rather, a creature that used to be a "human", "He is so clear about this situation, he should know something."
Here, William uses "he", although this "he" is still a deeply cursed animal.
Yes, the "he" here is the blue fox.
When I read the fairy tale "The Golden Bird" before, the gardener's eldest son and second son entered the carnival hotel and never came out. At that time, William thought it was because of their weak willpower.
But now that I think about it, this is full of doubts!
First of all, why did the cursed blue fox become obsessed with it after entering this "unreturnable carnival hotel"?
"He" didn't just say it casually, but he said this to the gardener's three sons, Galba, Antony and the youngest son Servicus. Is there any hidden secret behind this!
Secondly, when the gardener's youngest son returned in triumph, bringing with him a golden horse, a golden bird, and a beautiful princess, the blue fox gave the gardener's youngest son two pieces of advice.
One is not to redeem anyone from the gallows.
One is not to stand by the river.
William could still barely understand the first piece of advice, as if the blue fox had great powers and had returned to the village to know that the two brothers of the gardener's youngest son were in trouble.
But William couldn't understand the second piece of advice.
If the blue fox knew that the gardener's younger son's two older brothers would hurt the gardener's younger son because they were jealous of his achievements, then why did he say it was by the river?
Why can't it be said that it is by a tree? Why can't it be said that it is by a cliff? Why can't it be said that it is by a stone?
Why don't you stand by the river?
William, who has already mastered part of the power of destiny, cannot even glimpse the future trajectory!
Is this blue fox so powerful that it can predict the future?
But judging from the fairy tale as a whole, this blue fox was just a prince before he was cursed.
His sister only knows how to cry but not resist when something happens. Why is his brother so powerful?
This is magical, but it is unscientific and illogical!
In fact, there is a third thing that is wrong!
Why did the blue fox choose the gardener’s three sons?
Why them? Can't it be someone else? Is there anything special about this?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the past, when I was young and ignorant, I knew how to see something strange.
Looking back now, the word "weird" is written throughout the fairy tale, and many things are written without beginning or end.
William knew that this cursed blue fox must know something, such as the inside story of the "unreturnable carnival hotel".
Maybe if you find it, you might be able to get the answer William wants.
In addition to the inside story of the "Revelry Hotel", countries with golden horses and golden birds can also be found out.
William's mind was racing, and these thoughts flashed through his mind.
Once the thought appears, it is like a weed that has taken root and cannot be removed.
The more William thought about it, the more passionate the thoughts became in his mind. He quickly made a decision, took a step forward, the Ruyi cloak activated, and he disappeared into the village.
Most of the people in the village were concentrated in the "carnival" hotel, and not many people would care about a strange outsider!
William's disappearance will not cause any ripples.
A few days later.
In the grove outside the royal city of Omus Empire.
Near the stone where the gardener's eldest son Galba once encountered the fox.
A blue fox, as tall as an adult man, squatted beside the river and drank water.
The blue fox is very particular about drinking water. "He" does not lower his head to drink water like ordinary animals. Instead, he washes his paws first, then holds the water with his paws, brings it to his face, and drinks it in small sips.
, just like a person, no, "he" is originally a person.
While he was drinking, a faint figure suddenly appeared on the water in front of the blue fox.
The blue fox's body instantly became stiff.
"Your perception is very keen." William said calmly from behind the blue fox, "I have been looking for you for several days."
The magic mirror scanned the blue fox's body, detected its various physical attributes, and reported them to William.
What makes William a little strange is that although the blue fox's physical attributes such as strength, physique, and reaction speed are very strong, much stronger than carnivorous animals such as tigers and bears, they are not exaggerated.
But the fairy tale "The Golden Bird" has been told many times: "The young people sat on the fox's tail. They stepped over the bushes and over the rocks, their hair swishing in the wind."
It can be seen from this sentence that the fox's strength and speed should be very high.
Moreover, it is said in the fairy tale that this blue fox wiped out a mountain that blocked the king's sight in one night. This kind of strength is far from commensurate with the results detected by the magic mirror now.
This is where William feels very strange.
"A wizard? You are the second most powerful wizard I have ever seen!" Just as William was wondering and calculating, the blue fox with keen senses who noticed William's appearance spoke in human words.
"Haha, the second most powerful wizard? Have you ever seen a wizard more powerful than me?" William looked startled, then smiled.
"Of course." The blue fox raised his head.
"How do you know that the wizard you know is more powerful than me?" William asked again with great interest.
Perhaps sensing that William had no murderous intention, the blue fox's body became softer. He tried his best to say to William in a relaxed tone, "It is impolite to turn your back to the visitor! Do you mind if I
Turn around?"
"I don't mind." William shook his head.
The blue fox then turned around. "He" didn't move quickly, probably because he was worried about causing William to misunderstand.
Soon, the blue fox was facing William.
William marveled at the blue fox's undulating blue fur, while the blue fox was surprised by William's young and unfamiliar appearance.
"A young and powerful wizard! How rare!" The blue fox looked at William and sighed.
"Maybe." William said disapprovingly, "You haven't answered me yet, how do you know that the wizard you saw is stronger than me?"
In this world, wizards are relatively rare, and witches are the mainstream.
Especially wizards like William whose strength is comparable to that of the red-robed witch are even rarer.
That's why William asked.
"Feeling!" the blue fox answered William's words seriously.
The magic mirror sounded in William's mind, "Master, Master, did not detect the psychological fluctuations of his lies."
In other words, what the blue fox said was serious.
William's eyes suddenly narrowed and he stared at the blue fox.
The blue fox faced William head-on without fear.
The aura of the third-level wizard was released unscrupulously by William, and strange patterns appeared alternately on his face.
That's a cursed pattern from fate.
Any creature that looks directly at the fate curse pattern on William's body, as long as it is not as strong as William and does not have any special treasures to protect itself, will be randomly cursed.
The entire nearby space was radiated by William's unbridled magic power, and the entire area appeared with distorted ripples like a TV screen.
The leaves continue to turn yellow, then return to green, over and over again, and strange sounds echo in the space, like the sound of waves of water, or the sounds of millions of people crying and sighing.
If an ordinary person or ordinary animal breaks into this area, they may be alienated by William's magic radiation immediately.
"Now, do you still feel that I am weaker than the wizard you have met?" William's eyes became indifferent and he asked the blue fox ruthlessly.
At this time, the blue fox was surrounded by a wave of blue shadow, resisting the magical radiation from William, a third-level wizard.
"Yes!" The blue fox, protected by the phantom of the wave, looked at William with fear in his eyes, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he still answered William like this.
"Interesting power of protection, does this power come from your bloodline? The power of bloodline, you are also a divine descendant!" William suddenly smiled, restrained his power as a third-level wizard, and said to the blue fox.
The blue fox responded silently, but the lack of an answer was an answer in itself.
"Don't be nervous!"
"I don't care who is weak or strong."
"I'm not interested in power!"
"Taking the path of a wizard was the biggest mistake of my life."
"I regret that I have been busy cultivating all day long and have no time to spend with my family. If I could live again, I would never do this."
William confided like he was taking out the trash.
The blue fox's eyes suddenly became strange. After being silent for a long time, "he" said, "Can you speak human language? I don't know what you mean!"
"Okay! Hey!" William looked like he was not understood. After sighing, his expression suddenly became serious and said, "I have a few questions I want to ask you. I hope you can answer them for me."
"Tell me, do you want to ask who the wizard is who is stronger than you? Trust me, you don't want to know. Your strength is already very good, but in front of him, you are no different from an ant!
The more you know, the more dangerous it is. It's better for you not to know. I just know too much, so..." The blue fox kept chattering, just like William's "Tang Monk" in his previous life, which made him feel a surge of emotion for no reason.
The urge to beat the blue fox to death.
"Stop..." William finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.
The blue fox suddenly became quiet. After taking a look at William, who looked ugly, he said, "It seems that you know how scary that wizard is... This is good..."
"Shut up!" William's voice rose a few degrees higher. Why didn't we see you as such a fox in fairy tales?
After the blue fox became quiet again, he hurriedly asked, "The first question is, what's going on with that unoccupied carnival hotel in the nearby village?"
"How do you know that I know about the village tavern?" The blue fox looked at William strangely and asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about how I know about this village tavern. I just want to know now, what is the problem with this village tavern?"
"No, how come you don't know what happened in the tavern in this village?"
"Why do you think I should know the reason for what happened in the tavern in this village?"
"You really don't know!"
"I really don't know! Don't beat around the bush with me now, just tell me the reason!" William said angrily, he really couldn't stand this "Tang" fox anymore.
"Okay, I thought a wizard of your level would know about this..."
William's eyes were already full of murderous intent.
The blue fox felt a chill all over and said quickly, "This is a Dionysus ceremony."
"People who enter that hotel are equivalent to participating in a ceremony to worship the god of wine, that's why they become like this!"
"Bacchus?" William frowned, why is he related to the god again?
"Yes, the great god of wine, one of the twelve main gods in ancient times, Dionysus! These are his followers, known as the followers of the mad women, a group of followers who fanatically worship the god of wine and sacrifice wine.
God’s ritual!”
"Now that hotel has become a sanctuary for rituals dedicated to the god of wine! Anyone who enters will be affected."
"As long as a person participates in the Dionysian ceremony, he or she must sing and dance all the time, enjoy themselves and become a believer in Dionysus."
"According to rumors, during the Dionysian carnival, the madwomen of Dionysus wore ivy wreaths on their heads, wore animal costumes, held staffs, and drank to their heart's content amidst the crisp sound of flutes and the low sound of drums.
,Fanatical Dance.”
"The cattle and sheep that were sacrificed were torn into pieces by them, and then they ate them raw - as a communion with the god of wine."
"For those who refuse to believe in Dionysus, crazy women often punish them during the Dionysian festival!"
