Chapter 1878 giant slayer(twenty-two)

Amaranth has many nicknames, such as careless weed, creeping hogweed, etc. There is also another name - bleeding love. Its English name "amaranth" has two meanings. In addition to plant, it also has

It means eternal.

The Spaniards hated amaranth. When they arrived in South America in the early years, they discovered that the Aztecs mixed the blood of living people with vegetable dough, then baked it into cakes and distributed them to believers.

In addition, it can be cooked like spinach, and even now Mexicans still use amaranth seeds mixed with honey to make a dessert called "alegria" (happiness).

No matter how hard they tried, the Spaniards could not completely eliminate amaranth. The seed pods of amaranth can contain half a million seeds, and these seeds can take root anywhere. It is precisely because of its hardiness and productivity that amaranth can survive to this day.

.

This weed-like vegetable rarely appears on the tables of nobles, and is mainly eaten by common people.

Back in Florence in the 14th century, a group of cheerful young nobles of both sexes continued to take turns telling stories like the previous nine days. On the tenth day, they named a king, and the king wearing a laurel crown ordered Amy, who became the queen on the first day.

Leah tells a story.

Although the climate of Friuli is cold, it has beautiful mountains and rivers and excellent scenery. There is a city there called Udin, and there once lived a beautiful lady named Dianola in this city.

, her husband Gilberto is a local tycoon, and he is very elegant. Because of her beauty, she fell in love with a lord named Ansado Górez. Because of his high status,

He was famous far and wide for his bravery, diligence and courtesy. Because he loved this lady, he tried every means to win her favor and wrote countless love letters, but all his efforts were in vain.

Later, when the lady saw that he was so entangled, she was really annoyed. But despite her repeated refusals, he still refused to give up and still loved her and begged her. So she decided to make a bizarre request to him, calling him

She retreated when she knew it was difficult; so one day, she said to the woman who often worked as a lobbyist for him:

"Good aunt, you have told me time and time again that Mr. Ansado loves me more than anything else; I have asked him to keep all the precious gifts he has given me for himself, because I will never leave his property alone.

I am tempted to fall in love with him and fulfill his wish; however, if I can believe that he really loves me as you said, then I will definitely fall in love with him and make him fulfill his wish. All I ask for now is that he loves me as much as you said.

If he can do one thing, then I can believe that he really loves me, and then I will naturally be willing to obey his orders."

The woman said: "Then what does Madam want from him?"

The lady said: "What I mean is this. Next month is the first lunar month. I want him to open a garden near the city. The garden should be like in May, full of red flowers, green grass and lush trees.

; If he cannot do it, then please ask him never to send you or anyone to me again; if he is still entangled, I will no longer keep secrets for him in front of my husband and my family.

Yes, I must tell them about this and ask them to drive him away."

After listening to the lady's request and promise, Ansado felt that it was really a difficult problem and almost impossible to achieve. He also knew that the lady's request was just to make him give up his ambition, but he still had to try his best.

Give it a try. So he went around asking if anyone could advise him on this matter and find a way. Finally he found a wizard who promised to use magic to do this for him, as long as he was willing

He was given a heavy reward. There was no reason for Ansado to be unwilling, so he immediately agreed and then happily waited for the appointed day to arrive.

On that day, the weather was severely cold, with ice and snow everywhere. On New Year's Eve, the wizard chose a piece of grass on the outskirts of the city to perform magic. According to some people who saw it with their own eyes at the time, an extremely beautiful garden actually appeared there the next morning.

The vegetation was lush and green, and full of all kinds of fruits. Mr. Ansado was very happy to see it, and he quickly picked some of the most beautiful flowers and the best fruits, and quietly sent them to the lady, and also invited her

Come quickly to see the garden she asked for, so as to know how much he loved her, and to remind her of the solemn promise she had made, which she, as a faithful lady, must try to keep.

The lady had already heard people talk about the miraculous garden, and soon she saw the flowers and fruits delivered, which made her feel a little regretful. Although she regretted it, she still had great curiosity and wanted to see those flowers.

Wondering about the miracle, she went to see the garden with several other ladies in the city. After seeing it, she was full of praise and surprise. When she got home, she remembered that she had to keep her promise. She was really speechless.

She was very sad. Because she was worried, she could not help but show some signs. Her husband saw it and asked her repeatedly what was the reason. At first, she said nothing because it was too difficult to talk about it. Later, she was forced to tell the story.

She told her husband the whole story of what happened.

When Gilberto heard this, he was very angry at first. Then he thought about the fact that his wife's intentions were completely pure, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Dianola, a cautious and chaste woman, don't go at all.

Pay attention to those who pull strings, and you should not use your chastity to negotiate conditions with others. But for a man who falls in love, once he hears these words and remembers them in his heart, he will have a sense of distance.

It is beyond the power of people's imagination, and it can accomplish extremely difficult things. If you listen to those who pull the strings, it is a big mistake; if you put forward conditions later, it is even more wrong. But I know your

The motive is pure. In order to relieve you from the constraints imposed by your own promise, I will temporarily allow you to do something that no man can agree to; this is also because I am afraid that Ansah will be deceived by you and call the wizard

Come to harm us. I think you are bound to go to him once. If you can manage to fulfill your promise without damaging your chastity, it is good. If you cannot preserve your chastity, you will have to lose your virginity to him once. As long as

Just don’t lose your soul to him.”

After hearing what he said, his wife burst into tears and refused to accept his generous affection. But no matter how she confessed, he insisted on her doing so. So at dawn the next day, his wife got up and dressed up randomly.

After a while, he took a maid and two servants to lead the way to Mr. Ansado's house.

Ansado was surprised when he heard that his beloved had arrived. He immediately invited the wizard and said to him: "Look, what a precious treasure your superb skills have brought me!"

Then he went out to greet the lady with the utmost respect and propriety, showing no sign of frivolity. Then the three of them walked into a gorgeous inner room, with a large fire burning in the room.

After Mr. Ansado asked her to sit down, he said: "Madam, I have loved you for so long. If my love is still worthy of your repayment, then I beg you to tell me that you are so

Why did you come to me so early and bring these people here? I hope you don’t bother to answer."

The lady was ashamed and replied with tears in her eyes: "Sir, I came here not because I love you, nor because I have an appointment, but because I have no choice but to come here because of my husband's order. Although you have bad intentions,

, but he realized that you worked hard for me, so he didn’t care about my reputation and his own, so he sent me here. I came under his order and prepared to satisfy you this time."

Ansado was very surprised when he saw her come in just now, and now he was even more surprised after hearing her words. Gilberto's magnanimity moved him greatly, and all his original desires were reduced to nothing.

Sympathizing, he said: "Madam, after listening to your words, I feel that since your husband cares so much about my love for you, if I tarnish his reputation again, it is really intolerable to God. I will treat you as my own now."

Just like a sister, I will leave you here for a while, and you can go back whenever you like. I just hope that you will have a good life on my behalf and thank your husband. Please also treat me as your brother and your servant from now on."

After hearing this, the lady was overjoyed and immediately said: "Based on your noble behavior in the past, I concluded that there will be no accidents when I come to the house today, and I will definitely get your forgiveness; I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

!”

After saying this, she said goodbye and went home. Ansado also sent many people to escort her all the way. When she got home, she told her husband Gilberto all the circumstances, and he and Ansado formed an extremely close relationship from then on.

Friend. Speaking of the wizard, Ansado paid him the full reward because he saw that Gilberto had that kind of magnanimity and didn't care about the fact that he fell in love with his wife; and Ansado was also very interested in his beloved.

So generous, he said: "I saw that Mr. Gilberto was so generous that he didn't even care about his own reputation. You can even give up your love. If I can't bear to give up even a few remunerations, it's really a blessing from God."

It’s absolutely unbearable! I know this money is of great use to you, so I hope you can keep it.”

Mr. Ansado felt embarrassed and asked him repeatedly to take the money, at least part of it, but how could he accept it? Three days later, the wizard removed the garden and left. Ansado wished

God blessed him. From then on, Ansado completely gave up his evil thoughts towards the lady and only had a legitimate respect and love for her.

"This may be a good ending for two true gentlemen." Haji heard someone say in a daze, "But as long as people taste the sweetness of this water once, they will not use other spring water to quench their thirst.

"

Haji's brain began to function again, and he remembered that he had fought three vampires at Shakespeare's theater...

He couldn't remember what happened afterwards, as if there was a gap in his memory. He looked around and found that he was by a lake with a sculpture next to him.

Haji stood up and looked at the sculpture in confusion. He walked around to the front of the sculpture.

"Santos Dumont." Haji read the man's name, and then followed the sculpture's line of sight to the other side of the lake, where there was a place that looked like a garden.

He picked up the phone and dialed Gianluca's number.

The phone rang soon.

"Hello……"

"I called you so many times, why didn't you answer the phone?" Gianluca said before Haji finished speaking.

"What happened?" Haji asked calmly.

"Sonny and Monica are in the Vincennes Forest now. They are in danger!" Gianluca said anxiously.

"First, I need to know where I am now," Haji said. "Then I know how long it will take to get to them?"

There was the sound of keyboard tapping from Gianluca's side.

"You are in the Bois de Boulogne, near Lake Bagatelle."

"I saw a garden opposite, what is that place?" Haji asked.

"That's a rose garden."

"Who built it?" Haji asked.

"Is that important?" Gianluca asked.

"I still have a mission." Haji took out the mass bell in his hand and said, "After I find the sign, I will put the things away and go find them."

Gianluca roared in frustration at the other end.

"Who built that garden?" Haji asked again.

"I'll call you later." Gianluca said and hung up the phone.

Haji glanced at the cell phone that made a busy signal, put it back in his pocket, and walked towards the park with countless roses in bloom.

He could smell the rich sweetness from far away. Who doesn't love roses and amaranth?
