This is probably the most bizarre alchemical omen that Angel has ever encountered.
Most of the other alchemical signs have obvious risks, but for the sign in front of me, at least there is no danger.
No, Angel suddenly thought of a possibility. If the solution to this omen is to think of some love poems and satisfy the man, what if he is not satisfied with any love poems?
Angel still remembers that there is a type of alchemical omen that does not carry direct risks, but if you can't find the solution, you will be completely lost in the omen.
Could it be that this is what he encountered this time?
If that's the case, it's a bit difficult to explain.
No matter what, Angel decided to try it first.
"Love poems...love poems..." Angel quickly flipped through the memory box.
Although he never wrote love poems himself, the few entertainments Ingres had as a child included bard singing.
Reciting epics is a bard's job, but the epic stories that happened in the Golden Bird Empire are really lackluster, and the past history is controlled by the royal family and they dare not touch it easily. Then the bard's job is only to sing.
Hero or love.
When Angel was a child, he liked to listen to poems praising heroes, but that didn't mean that he hadn't heard poems about love.
In his memory, he heard quite a lot of love poems from the bards when he was a child.
However, Angel went through it quickly and found that these love poems either had a clear reference to the characters, or they were just boring words like chewing wax.
Even Angel himself found these love poems irritating. Can they pass the test of the man in front of him?
After much deliberation, Angel finally chose not to choose these love poems, but a small poem he had seen on the holographic tablet - "Kiss".
I ran to the door/opened the stairs/finished my pajamas/put on my prayers/closed the bed/got into the light/all because of/the kiss you gave me when I said good night.
Earth's literature is developed, and naturally there are more famous love poems that can even be remembered for hundreds of years, but Angel decided to test the man with a short poem first.
In particular, test whether this is a sign that as long as the man is not satisfied, he will never leave her.
After coughing twice to attract the man's attention, Angel read the poem softly. All the previous behaviors were full of weirdness, and the man frowned when he heard it. In the end, the truth was revealed, it turned out to be because of his lover.
A kiss made everyone confused, and the man relaxed his brows.
The man did not comment on the poem immediately, but recited it again. After savoring it carefully for a moment, he said to Angel: "Although this love poem is short, it is full of interest. If she sees it,
It will definitely bring a smile to my face, I like it very much.”
"However, it's a pity that I haven't received a kiss from her yet. If I hand it over like this, she will definitely feel that I am not sincere. So, can you change it to a love poem?"
"Because I like this poem very much, I won't let you fall into a nightmare. I will wait for your new poems."
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Angel with burning eyes.
Angel finally understood. This was indeed the kind of omen that an alchemist least wanted to encounter. Alchemists prefer direct decryption. No matter how complicated it is, like a complex mathematical problem, there is a unique one.
The answer is; and this kind of extremely variable anomaly can be the simplest or the most troublesome anomaly.
Because the answer depends on the other person’s inner testimony.
And mental things like mental evidence can change anytime and anywhere, and it is very difficult to satisfy the other person's taste.
The most important thing is the last sentence the man said: "Because I like this poem very much, I won't let you fall into a nightmare."
This means that the number of times Angel can try is actually not many. The man's preference determines the success or failure of Angel's strange omen.
Although he knew that this was a very troublesome alchemical omen, Angel did not panic. Under the gaze of the other party, Angel read out another love poem.
This love poem was also what Angel saw on the holographic tablet. It is a quite famous love poem. To some extent, he has even broken away from the scope of love poetry and has become a poem that can be empathized with by most people.
From "When You Are Old" by Yeats.
Sure enough, this poem is very resonant. When Angel read the second sentence, the man's eyes began to blur, and he seemed to be caught in the situation woven by the poem.
Two minutes later, Angel finished reading the poem affectionately, and the man couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, the man said: "I believe no one will be dissatisfied with this poem, and I am the same. The beauty of this poem, and the warm and sincere emotions contained in it, moved me too."
The man's emotion lasted for several minutes, and he also analyzed every line of the poem.
At first, Angel thought it should be stable, but when he got to the back and heard the man's behavior of analyzing the poem, he felt that it might be bad.
Sure enough, after analyzing the last line of the poem, the man said: "I am very, very satisfied with this poem, but at my level, I cannot write such a poem to my dear Margaret. Maybe it is very sincere.
, Margaret will also fall in love with this poem, but she may only love the emotions in this poem, not my emotions."
When the man said this, he looked at Angel: "So, I hope you can help me think of another poem, preferably one that my level can reach."
Angel: "..." Who knows what your level is.
Therefore, this kind of alchemical omen that has no standard answer is really annoying to everyone.
However, this time the man did not say anything more that made Angel fall into a nightmare. Obviously, the song "When You Get Old" conquered him even if it did not meet the man's requirements.
No matter what, if you are not qualified, then try again. He still has a lot of poems in reserve.
Angel used a tactful tone and asked about the man's level.
However, the other party's answer was: "I don't know what my level is."
Angel is helpless. You don’t even know what your standards are, so how can I choose?
Angel was silent for a moment, and instead of using poetry bombing to break through, he began to analyze various things that happened since he entered the strange omen.
Man, painting, beloved girl, writing love poems...
After careful analysis, Angel discovered that after each poem, the man actually gave some information, or clues.
After the first "Kiss", Angel knew that if the love poem he recited dissatisfied the other party, he would fall into a nightmare, which would be a sign of failure.
After the second song "When You Get Old", Angel learned the name of a person, the girl the man loved most, named Margaret.
So, maybe add Margaret to the poem?
Margaret......
While Angel was muttering the name silently in his mind, he suddenly remembered something.
If there were no accidents, he seemed to have seen this name in Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, and also visited Margaret's boudoir. In her boudoir, Angel did not find anything of value.
, but I saw a lot of... love poems.
When Angel thought of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the man's face carefully, but the carvings in the clouds and mist were so obscure that it was difficult to see clearly what he looked like.
Angel thought for a moment, then simply asked: "I wonder what your name is, sir?"
Man: "If you can write a poem that satisfies me, as a reward, I will tell you my name."
Angel wanted to directly say the name that was on his lips, but after thinking about it, he held back.
"Then I started to read a poem. This poem... is nameless."
Angel took a deep breath, turned around, with his back to the man, and began to chant loudly: "Oh, dear Margaret, I miss you so much, even if the forest is full of miasma, even if
There are guards all over the city. Even if the journey to find you is full of sins, they can't stop me from missing you. When I miss you, the flowers are swaying, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing, and my heart is palpitating.
Move. Oh, Margaret, you are so beautiful, as beautiful as the bright moon in late December, shining on my humble heart; as beautiful as..."
Nasty, tacky, and straightforward.
Even though Angel read this poem in a measured tone, he still felt numb and had goosebumps all over his arms.
The reason why he turned around and read with his back was because he didn't want others to see his expression while reading this poem. Just imagining it, Angel thought it was a disaster.
This poem is completely different from the previous two poems, even in style. However, this poem was discovered by Angel in Margaret's room.
If the man in front of me is really that person, maybe this poem can pass his test.
Another two minutes passed. After Angel finished reading, he let out a long breath.
At the same time, applause erupted from behind him.
Angel turned his head and saw the man looking at Angel with praise.
"As expected of a poet who can recite "Kiss" and "When You Get Old", even poems in my style can be so easily done."
The man's words made Angel breathe a sigh of relief.
This is the other party's style, which means that even if it still fails this time, at least it will not be punished, and it can also figure out the route of the love poem that the other party wants.
"This poem is so wonderful. If Margaret sees her, she will definitely feel my burning love!"
To be continued...
