Chapter 324 The Ring of the Rest of Your Life
The stalls in front are still sparse. In terms of urban planning, there should not be a street so straight and long. Obviously this is the function of magic. It separates the distance between stalls, creating this street.
The length of the black street far exceeds its actual length. This is not difficult. Darkness itself can be used as a carrier of many magics. There is no clear distance in a lightless or low-light environment.
and location, a little modification can achieve unexpected results. As for the purpose of doing this, it is probably for safety reasons. There are just some thieves and pickpockets in ordinary markets, and it is never easy to see such guys in the dark streets.
On the other hand, it may be because of the privacy required by people doing business here. The things sold here are not visible to the public, so the fewer people who know about this transaction, the better.
This concern about privacy may also be the reason why most stall owners on black streets are not very interested in a group of people passing by. For them, people who really want to buy their own products will not bring so many companions.
In other words, the things sold at these stalls have the ability to disrupt ordinary order.
. Various hallucinogens, anesthetics and even concoctions for other purposes are just the most basic ones; needles that can cause pregnant women to abort; candies that can maim children... The things sold here are simply peddling the darkest and cruelest thoughts of human beings.
In comparison, the magic spells and spells on it seem to be nothing worth mentioning.
"Where did you get this ring?" Cheese leaned down and carefully picked up a gray ring with his gloved hands. As he blew gently, the loose soil on the ring dispersed.
, revealing a brilliant diamond. This is a wedding ring, to be precise, an engagement ring, the kind given by a man to a woman. Why do wedding rings appear on black street stalls? And in such an unappreciated way.
?
"I don't know." The dwarf with only one eye behind the stall replied very simply. Unlike his compatriots in Cangshi, these simple-natured creatures are easily affected by the outside world. Therefore, the running dwarf cannot rely on
You can pass it off with candies. They are famous in the city.
Thief and stalker. However, maybe because he took into account the two glimmers under the cheese hood, or maybe because he had never polished the ring himself, so he continued to explain, "This thing
It has passed through many hands in my hands, and no one knows its origin."
"Really, this is better. This thing is too vicious." Cheese nodded, but did not put down the ring. He looked at the stall owner and said, "Make a price, but please don't be too high. I know its price."
everything."
This was the first time that Cheese had seriously inquired about the price after entering the underworld, so not only the seller of the transaction, but also other people who had been standing aside also came over to hear why this wedding ring made him tempted.
The dwarf stall owner scratched his cheek, and the curiosity in his bones finally defeated the businessman's rationality. "You tell me first what this ring is for. You are right. I don't need any money for this ring."
The mage shrugged and looked at the inner ring of the ring through the firelight. If the wedding ring was exquisitely made, the names or initials of the suitor and the suitor would often be engraved on it, but there was nothing in this ring.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen something very happy, "You
Ask me what the function of this ring is? First of all, it is an engagement ring. It is a token given by a man to a woman. When the woman agrees, she will wear it on her hand to show that she is ready to spend the rest of her life together.
A partner. Of course, for this ring, it also has another function, a curse."
"Whoever puts on the ring is cursed. The cursed person will experience one of the most painful things a person can experience, she will see the day of her death. Not a vague allegory, but a countdown, she will
Watching her life come to an end bit by bit, death will always be around her.
In every moment. Can you imagine how vicious this curse is? It will not kill her in itself, but it will make her realize that all the good things she has experienced will decline, and it will take away a person's ability to be happy.
, so that she will always live in fear and worry, and have to face this destined ending."
Cheese's description made everyone present feel a faint sense of fear. As the stall owner, the dwarf had obvious disgust when he looked at the ring. He only knew that the ring could allow people to see the date of death, but he didn't expect it.
It would be so cruel to live this thing. However, unlike most people’s reactions, Mrs. Teresa
She became interested and stared at the ring, "I think the person who made this ring must have deep-seated hatred. He must hate a woman very much to put such a terrible curse on her engagement ring.
.You said you know everything about this ring, so you must also know its story, right?"
The poor craftsman met the princess who escaped, and the two knew each other and fell in love. But when the prince appeared, the princess threw herself into the latter's arms without hesitation. The abandoned craftsman was swallowed up by anger and resentment, and he made a deal with the devil in exchange for
Here came the power of talent, craftsmanship and curse. He put all his skills, all his hatred, all the good and bad into this ring, turning it into the sweetest poisonous fruit.
Stories like this quickly take shape in everyone's minds. Although the details of the stories will be different due to their cultural backgrounds, they are basically the same. This must be a tragic love story, perhaps very suitable for being rewritten by bards.
It was sung to people. But Cheese didn’t lie or exaggerate. He saw the origin of the ring at a glance, knew who made it, and figured out why it was made. “Actually, it’s not what you think.
So twists and turns, this ring is indeed
It was actually made and given to a woman who was very important to the producer, but the woman did not fall in love with each other. On the contrary, the relationship between the two people was quite good. And the reason why he made such a
The cursed ring was not given to her to torture her. At least I guess he didn't realize this, because this is what he experienced. He probably just hoped that the other party could share the world he saw, and hoped that in this way
Achieve a higher level of communion with that woman.”
"The normal state of men. The man you are talking about must be very self-centered and have achieved certain achievements. He may be a lord or a king. He feels that he is under a lot of pressure but others don't know it. He is self-pitying and drags women along with him.
.He doesn’t love this woman at all
Man, he just loves himself, he simply thinks that only he understands himself." Mrs. Teresa's words were quite fierce, but the people present, especially the men, could not immediately stand up to refute. After all, many times, the person who understands a man is not
They themselves, and similarly, so do women.
"Yes, you are right. The man I know is indeed like that. However, perhaps it should be said that he once looked like that, because he did not complete the ring, and he did not engrave the woman's name in the ring.
name, so this ring can be worn casually
It was taken off at the time. So I also believe that he abandoned the ring without letting the woman see it. That’s why it ended up here. Maybe the idiot finally understood and he finally didn’t do it.
What a silly thing." Cheese said with a smile and looked at the stall owner again.
"How about it? I've told you everything I know. No matter what, it is still a ring that allows the wearer to see when he or she will die. If you make an offer, I can accept it."
The dwarf waved his hand, "This thing is so ominous and useless! Who would want to see his own death? And what fool would keep wearing it to torture himself? Take it away, I know this story is enough
Already."
