Space-time Traveler
Chapter 23 Journey One
The history of the chessboard country is surrounded by mist.
Even the long-lived gnomes are not very clear. York is a little younger than Peak. This year is only 82 years old. They can live to about 350 on average, and some old monsters can live to 500.This length of life makes Su Ziyu shocked and envied. In contrast, human life is too short. Even in this world of high energy levels, the average human life is 60 to 70 years old.
In York's mouth, Su Ziyu learned that the existence of witches is very special in this world.
They hardly grow old, nor do they know how long they can live.
The witch had sheltered humans in the dark period, it was an era of dragons and giants.
York didn't know much about this era, it just said that the sky fire burned everything in that era, the heir of the dragon crawled out of the abyss, the terrifying giant snakes raged the earth, and they used dragons, giants and humans as food.
York has a gift for storytelling.
The mouth almost didn't stop along the way, as long as Su Ziyu was very interested in what he expressed, he would be able to talk a lot.
Su Ziyu tentatively asked'Dragon Witch'.
After hearing this, York's expression was obviously somewhat taboo, and he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know too. Some people say that she is a fallen witch. Others say that she is a heir to the dragon."
"Some people even said she was the incarnation of the giant snake."
"Anyway, she is dead."
"Don't mention the name if it's fine, it is said to bring bad luck."
The journey is long.
In the evening, the two found a leeward place to settle down. Su Ziyu took out the dragon's meat and prepared it for barbecue. He had grown up so long and hadn't eaten dragon meat yet. I don't know how it tasted.
"Huh? Is this also a witch's thing?" York looked at the Su Ziyu lighter curiously.
"Well." Su Ziyu asked casually: "Did Peak say that he was going to find the White Queen at that time?"
The dwarf in front of him looked at the lighter curiously and thought for a moment: "Not very clear. He didn't say much."
"One day I listened to his dreams."
"I mentioned a legendary thing-Golden Apple!"
Golden apple?
Su Ziyu was shocked when she heard the words and asked, "What else?"
"I don't know." York spread his hand and shook his head: "The legendary thing like the Golden Apple, where do I know where."
"Maybe they went to the White Queen for this."
Su Ziyu heard some speculations in her mind and said softly: "Continue to talk to me about the Golden Apple. What's the use of it?"
"You don't even know this?" York's expression was quite surprised, and asked: "The legendary golden apple that can keep youth and rejuvenation forever! Have you never heard of a story about it as a child?"
Isn’t that something from a myth?
Su Ziyu is not very versatile, but in the past, he still knew some Western mythology in order to make a game background. Golden Apple has appeared in Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.
The golden apple is a very famous treasure in Greek mythology.
The golden apple first appeared at the wedding of Zeus and Hera. The earth goddess Gaia brought a large leafy tree from the West Coast to Zeus and Hera as a wedding gift. The tree was full of golden apples.The three daughters of the Zeus Night God, called Hesperides, guarded the Holy Garden where golden apples were planted, and there were also a hundred-headed dragon Radon to help them guard.
In addition, the Trojan War broke out because of the Golden Apple.
At that time, the goddess Eris presented a golden apple at the wedding of the human hero Palius and the sea goddess Thetis, which read'Give it to the most beautiful goddess', and then Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite This golden apple can't dispute.Zeus asked a guy named Paris to judge,
In the end, this guy abducted the queen of Sparta, the very famous beauty in history-Helen, which directly led to the outbreak of the Trojan War.
Compared to Greek mythology, the golden apple in Nordic mythology is much simpler.
It is a magical treasure that can rejuvenate and restore youth. It is said that it is the key to the gods to maintain immortal life. When the gods age, they can regain their youth by only tasting the golden apple.
At first glance, Golden Apple looks like a flat peach in Eastern mythology.
"Golden Apple..."
Su Ziyu frowned and thought. Suddenly he thought of the dream forest and the scary and strange clay puppet. If he remembered correctly, the clay puppet was holding an apple made of black clay. .
At that time he still felt very strange.
Now think about it, is there any connection with Golden Apple?
"The meat is cooked. It will be battered later." York's voice awakened the squid in thought.
He picked up the roasted piece of flying dragon meat and handed it to York, and then he took a bite.
how to say?
The meat is a bit hard, very chewy, and the taste is not very good, but it feels warm when eaten in the stomach, and there is a feeling of wanting to vent your energy.
It should be a kind of tonic food.
Overnight.
The next day, the two went on their way. York would tell him some stories and stories from the north, and from time to time he would mention some heroes in the bard population.Time passed like this every day, and York led the squid to save a lot of trouble, and avoided a mountain giant's den on the road.
They reached the northern border on the morning of the fourth day, and York stood by a river with a little expression of regret: "I can only send you here."
"I can't set foot in the south for some reason."
"good luck!"
Su Ziyu smiled, and then threw a ruby.
After York reached out and took it, his face smiled and said: "Next time, I will help you to forge the short blade again."
"The gnome is a master of forging."
Su Ziyu agreed with a smile. The time he came out this time was tight, and he had no time to delay in the north. Besides, he used the most anti-equipment sniper rifle now.This guy in York really likes bragging, and Su Ziyu doesn't really believe in his craft.
"Really." As if guessing Su Suyu's idea, York Terrier shouted with his neck: "My ancestors have also forged artifacts!"
"Next time you come."
"I will show you the craft of the gnome!"
look.
He was bragging again and again.
Su Ziyu sat on his horse without even turning his head back. He waved his hand directly and continued to hurry towards the front. He had to find a boat to cross the river.
