"Faith..." Medusa's voice recollected in a low voice, and then she asked again: "But hasn't this knight already betrayed his faith? He should be a person without faith."
"This is different." Du Wei said calmly: "Everyone has a belief in his heart. Although Hussein abandoned his previous belief, it does not mean that he has no belief in his heart! It's just that when he gave up a belief
After that, he had a new belief in his heart to replace it! This is the commonality of human beings. Every person, a living person, must have his own belief in his heart, whether this belief is justice or evil. Only the heart has it
Only those with faith can have enough courage and strength. The stronger the faith, the stronger the power. Driven by this kind of power, one will either be famous or infamy for eternity!"
At this point, Du Wei seemed to smile: "After saying so much, how much do you understand?"
"I don't know." Medusa's voice was low: "Greed...nostalgia...weakness...coldness...loneliness...and faith...these are what you call 'humanity'. Humanity.
It’s just too complicated.”
"It's very complicated to begin with." Du Wei said quickly: "Human beings are the most complex creatures in the world. Human beings are the most emotional among all living creatures. They know the most about love, family affection, friendship, and are the most emotionally rich. But
At the same time, she is also the most cruel, the best at killing, fighting among herself, and killing her companions! The entire history of mankind is just a process in which mankind fights back and forth, you kill me, I kill you... Medusa. If
If you think that you can understand or grasp human nature by just peeking into the hearts of the three of us in such a short period of time, then you are wrong."
Having said this, Du Wei smiled and said: "Now, tell me, have I passed the test?"
After a long silence, he sighed: "Yes, you passed."
Du Wei soon met the legendary Medusa.
Right in this empty hall. Right in front of this wall!
There was a rustling sound in the wall, and then, a figure slowly walked out of the stone wall... Her whole body seemed to be made of stone, or perhaps, she seemed to have been integrated into the stone wall itself.
.
Queen Medusa, of course she was a woman.
The moment she stepped out of the stone wall, the stone in her body began to slowly fade away. The gray, hard, and cold skin began to turn into a delicate white, looking smooth and soft. Her hair also gradually faded.
It becomes shiny and soft.
The contours of her face are starting to become clearer... and they're beautiful!
Even Du Wei had to admit that the Queen Medusa in front of him was almost the most beautiful of all the women he had seen in this life and his previous life! Her figure was gentle and moving, every bit of it was
Her skin, every curve, seemed to be the most perfect work created by the Creator after strict calculations. Her legs, her waist, her hips, her arms, her breasts. Every proportion, as if
They are all in a perfect state. Coupled with the snake's natural charm, every movement she makes, every tiny movement, carries a charm that is almost seductive.
However, all of this was nothing... What really made Du Wei stunned was her face!
It can be said that this is a face that can drive men crazy! Du Wei couldn't even find the right words to describe such a beautiful face for a while... For a while, even the words "overwhelming the country and the city",
It’s far from enough to describe such stunning beauty!
Du Wei only knew that he was stunned. It was like a blind man who had regained his sight, shocked by the look in front of him, the look that could shock people's souls!
Du Wei bets that at least such a beautiful woman can never exist in the world! If she did exist... then it would definitely lead to a disaster!
Oh my god... just looking at those red lips, Du Wei was already sighing.
Du Wei has seen a lot of beautiful women, but the beauty is almost to the point of disaster. So, the Queen Medusa in front of her is definitely the first one!
And...she still has her eyes closed!
Du Wei can guarantee that if her eyes were opened, even one-third of the brilliance of this face... God, what would Queen Medusa's eyes look like? Such a gorgeous face.
If she could be adorned with a pair of eyes like stars and gems...then her face would be enough to murder the hearts of most men in the world!
This Queen Medusa, she is so beautiful... so beautiful...
Too beautiful to be human! Too scary to be beautiful!!
After a while, Du Wei came back to his senses, and the first thing he did was to take a deep breath to relax his lungs, which had just forgotten to breathe due to lack of oxygen due to sluggishness.
"Fortunately, you have been living here and have not let other humans see you." Du Wei made a comment: "Otherwise, based on your beauty, even if you are the terrifying Medusa, there will definitely be humans.
The powerful people are crazy about you, and they even won’t hesitate to launch a war to capture you!”
"Is this also human nature?" Medusa asked softly.
Standing in front of Du Wei, Medusa's voice was no longer that hoarse and deep voice. It was obvious that her voice was emitted through the vibration of the stone wall, covering up her original voice... and the real Medusa
Sarah's voice is, of course, very nice.
Du Wei was very satisfied with this... This is just a natural mentality. If you see such a beautiful woman who can kill a man's heart, but make such a harsh and unpleasant sound, this is simply a... sin!
Thank God, her voice is as beautiful as the gentle flowing water in a spring stream.
"That's right..." Du Wei smiled: "But your appearance, if it were really placed in the human world, would definitely cause a war between men."
"But I am not a human being." Medusa's answer was a little desolate.
Then, she walked gently to Duweidi: "Gargamel said that most humans will be afraid of me. Medusa is a terrible monster and a terrifying existence to humans...Why...you
But you are not afraid of me? I can feel that your power... is not strong."
"It's not 'not strong'. Compared to you, my strength is almost weak." Du Wei smiled: "But, why should I be afraid of you?"
"I don't know, but Gargamel said that humans are all very afraid of Medusa." She shook her head, closed her eyes, and moved her hands casually. Her slender fingertips traced through the air, and slowly moved on the stone floor next to her.
Slowly, the stone slabs rolled like dough, and finally a stone chair wriggled out from the stone. Medusa sat down calmly and faced Du Wei: "You came to see me, and now you see me."
"Yes. I have seen it." Du Wei sighed: "What I saw is not Queen Medusa, who makes humans change their color, nor is it some top-notch monster that kills wantonly and turns people into stone... I saw it
She is just a poor woman who lives in a remote place, is lonely and empty, and is looking for faith. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to add: a beautiful snake who doesn’t like to become a human."
"You are very interesting. You are an interesting human being." Medusa lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then she seemed to smile: "Although I have not come into contact with many humans. You are the second human being with me besides Gargamel."
Humans who talk a lot. Originally, I planned to kill you and your companions because although I am not a human and do not understand human nature, at least I don’t like to be disturbed.”
Du Wei was silent.
Indeed, the other party was once a golden-eyed python after all, and her nature was closer to a "beast".
"I know, that's why I dare to come to see you." Du Wei said frankly: "Because I know. You are not the pure murderous, evil monster in the legend... You just... please forgive me.
You are just 'ignorant' in your choice of words."
Medusa didn't care at all: "You are right, I am indeed 'ignorant', at least I have no understanding of human nature."
It's like humans always describe certain beasts as ferocious, wolves as cruel, and foxes as cunning. They say that certain monsters are scary... In fact, these are all based on human standards. In other words, they use human nature to measure other creatures.
But whether they are wolves, foxes, or scary monsters... are they really "bad"? Are they really "evil" and "scary"? Of course not... because they just follow the rules
They are just living normally according to the "animal nature" of their own race.
Wolves are born to eat meat, and lions and tigers are born to hunt prey. This is the law of the world, and we cannot say that they are evil or cruel just because of this.
Medusa, too.
"Then, human, tell me your reason for coming." Medusa asked the question softly. She just sat in the stone chair so delicately, with her head hanging down, and her chin gently supported by one hand.
"Originally, I came here for the Fountain of Youth." Du Wei said with a smile: "But now it seems that that thing is not a useful thing. That thing does not seem to be of much use to humans, except for its ability to solidify
Outside of the form, it seems to only have an effect on Warcraft or Tree People... Oh, will you kill us because of this? I heard that the guys who came with Gargamel back then were all killed because of the idea of taking this spring water.
You killed them all."
Medusa smiled, she was really smiling, and this expression made her a little more humane: "That was back then... I didn't understand back then, I was just a snake in human form, and no one taught me humanity.
, I simply know that if an outsider enters my territory, I will kill him. It’s that simple... You should thank Gargamel, he at least taught me some human habits, otherwise, today you walked into
In the canyon, I have already killed you."
"My purpose of coming is no longer important, because after talking to Gargamel, I have lost interest in this spring, but my two companions have other purposes." Du Wei felt that in front of this Medusa
, it’s better to tell the truth, maybe you can get some benefits.
"One of my companions, his master was cursed with petrification. He must have the eyes of a golden-eyed python to save him. We came to the frozen forest just to find the golden-eyed python." When Du Wei said this, he looked carefully.
glanced at Medusa.
"So you originally had my idea?" Medusa said expressionlessly. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Originally, yes. But not now." Du Wei said with a smile: "I think, as the final evolution of the golden-eyed python, you should have a way to save the petrification curse... I don't want to get it
your eyes."
"Why should I help you?" Medusa's voice was still calm: "Gargamel taught me that humans usually have a way of 'transaction', that is to say, there is a price for making requests."
"I am a very good teacher." Du Wei smiled: "You are a snake who doesn't want to be a human, but you have no choice now. So. I am willing to teach you many human habits. Of course, the most important thing is human nature.
."
"Everything?"
"Everything." Du Wei replied affirmatively: "But I don't guarantee that you will find it very pleasant, because human life is not a purely pleasant process. There is sweetness and pain in human nature. If you want to experience it,
I can teach you more things. For example, I can teach you the first lesson now."
Medusa was silent for a while: "What?"
"Loneliness." Du Wei said lightly: "You are very lonely. Your face, your voice, your words, and the fact that you live in this place...everything shows this."
"I'm very lonely." Medusa nodded: "If loneliness is what you said before, then you are right."
"Do you like this feeling?" Du Wei smiled.
Medusa thought for a long time. After thinking for a long time, she slowly shook her head.
"It's very simple, I can help you get rid of loneliness." Du Wei said: "Human beings are social animals. If you want not to be lonely, you must first communicate with other humans, for example, find your friends, or companions.
Then, Du Wei asked the second question: "Do you have faith in your heart?"
"No." Medusa answered quickly this time. For a person who has been sleeping and only wakes up once every ten years, she indeed does not have any beliefs in life.
"Humanity needs faith. It needs goals in life...even if it's just a little interest, something subtle that can arouse your interest." Du Wei smiled more happily this time: "Believe me, if it comes to interesting and fun things, this world
No one in the world is more knowledgeable than me.”
After these two questions, Du Wei asked a third question: "Have we made a deal?"
The answer... is self-evident.
When Hussein woke up, he was lying in the hall just like Duwei when he woke up from the illusion. Dardaniel was lying next to him.
Also, the poor Rat Prime Minister Gargamel was sitting next to him. The Rat Prime Minister had a worried expression on his face, and following his gaze, Hussein saw Du Wei walking towards him with a smile on his face.
Behind Du Wei, there was a woman standing.
Hussein immediately jumped up from the ground, but before the knight could make a move, Du Wei had already shouted: "Okay, Hussein, come and meet our new partner."
No introduction is needed, because Gargamel has already fallen to the ground, trembling, looking at the woman, his whole body twisted into a ball of meat.
"This is our new partner, Queen Medusa." Duwei said, pulled up Dardanelle, and then gave him something, which was a small stone bottle.
"Here, this is Queen Medusa's hair. After you take it back and take it out of the bottle, it will turn into a sleeping golden-eyed python. Use it to save your Marchioness." Du Wei.
He said with a smile.
Dardaniel didn't know whether he was shocked or confused as he took the things in his eyes. Duwei walked over with a smile and patted Hussein: "My friend, don't be stunned. Now, Her Majesty the Queen
We are about to take us to see the Fountain of Youth. Don’t you really want to see the places where Aragorn went? Now, let’s go.”
The astonishing beauty of Queen Medusa also shocked Hussein. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and then put it down. After listening to Du Wei's words, he was even more at a loss.
"Okay, now is not the time to draw the sword." Du Wei patted Hussein's shoulder gently, and then laughed softly: "I saw you successfully promoted to a paladin in the dream... Speaking of which
, I would also like to thank Her Majesty the Queen."
Watching Duvilla leading Hussein towards the door of the hall behind him, Medusa walked at the front without saying a word, like a ghost.
Dardaniel was awakened from his trance by Gargamel's sigh.
The Mouse Prime Minister was moaning: "He...what is this young man doing? God forbid...he seems to be getting along well with the queen? Or am I dreaming? Am I still in an illusion? Or...is the legend true?"
!Oh my god! He won’t...he won’t..."
"What are you mumbling about?" Dardaniel frowned.
"Have you never heard of the legend?" Gargamel stared at Dardanelle: "The legend of Queen Medusa."
Dardanelle shook his head.
"Legend..." Gargamel sighed, glanced at the backs of Du Wei and others, and whispered: "The ancient documents record that in addition to her terrifying power, Medusa also has a special point...
That is, if she sheds tears for anything... no matter if that guy is a man, a woman, a human or a monster, if it can make Medusa shed tears for the first time in her life, then Medusa will fall in love with him forever.
A creature for which we shed tears. I said, this young companion of yours, he didn’t have that idea, did he?”
Dardaniel didn't hear what Gargamel said clearly. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and murmured: "It's strange...how come this kid actually solved the problem as soon as I woke up?"
He touched the stone bottle that Duvise gave him... There was a hair of Medusa in it! It could turn into a sleeping golden-eyed python... Dardaniel finally woke up completely!
The Marquise is saved!!
"The spring is right here." Medusa pointed in front of her.
In a corner of the hall, Medusa muttered a few spells, and the stone slabs in front of her were quietly opened, and then a fountain mouth with exquisite stone carvings slowly appeared from below.
"This is the fountain of youth you are looking for." After Medusa introduced it, Du Wei felt a little disappointed.
It seems... nothing special.
However, Medusa's next words surprised Du Wei!
"This is the first spring. Do you want to see another spring in this canyon?"
"There is a spring in this canyon? What is that?" Du Wei turned to look at Medusa in surprise.
"I don't know what it is." Medusa's answer was very cold: "However, that spring water is exactly the opposite of the Fountain of Youth, so I gave it a name myself, called... the passage of time."
