Chapter 2554 Love Poems

This was probably the most bizarre alchemical omen that Angel had ever encountered.

Most of the other alchemical omens had obvious risks, but for the omen in front of me, at least there was 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 pose direct risks, but if you can't find a 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 confusing.

Regardless, Angel decided to give it a try 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 minstrel singing.

Reciting epics is the duty of a bard, 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 about heroes 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 reserve, 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 clear characters or were just boring words.

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 these love poems, but a small poem he had seen on the holographic tablet - "Kiss".

I ran to the door / opened the stairs / said my pajamas / put on my prayers / closed the bed / got under 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 be able to leave her.

After coughing twice to attract the man's attention, Angel quietly read the poem. All the previous behaviors were full of weirdness, and the man frowned when he heard it. But in the end, when the truth came out, it turned out that it was because of a kiss from his lover that caused chaos, 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 definitely puts a smile on my face, I love it.”

"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 poem."

After the man finished speaking, he looked at Angel with burning eyes.

Angel finally understood that this was indeed the kind of abnormal sign that an alchemist least wanted to encounter. Alchemists prefer direct decryption. No matter how complicated it is, like a complicated math problem, there is always a unique answer; and this kind of extremely variable omen can be the simplest or the most troublesome omen. .

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 words the man said: "Because I like this poem very much, I won't let you fall into a nightmare."

This means that there are not many times that Angel can try. 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 seen by Angel 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 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 spoke: "I believe no one would be dissatisfied with this poem, and I am the same. The beauty of this poem and the warm and sincere emotions it contains moved me."

The man's emotion lasted for several minutes, and he also analyzed every line of the poem.

Angel thought it was safe at first, but when he got to the back and heard the man analyzing the poem, he felt 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 like.

So, this kind of alchemical omen without a standard answer is really annoying.

However, this time the man did not say anything that made Angel fall into a nightmare. Obviously, this song "When You Are Old" conquered him even if it did not meet the man's requirements.

In any case, since it is not qualified, just try again. He still has a lot of poetry reserves.

In a tactful tone, Angel asked about the man's level.

However, the other party's answer was: "I don't know what my level is."

Angel was helpless. You don't know your level, how can I choose.

Angel was silent for a moment. He did not use poetry bombing to break through, but began to analyze the various things since he entered the omen.

Man, painting, beloved girl, writing love poems...

After careful analysis, Angel found that after each poem, the man actually gave some information, or clues.

After the first song "Kiss", Angel knew that if the love poem he recited did not satisfy the other party, he would fall into a nightmare and fail to pass the strange omen.

After the second song "When You Are Old", Angel knew the name of a person, the girl the man loved the most, named Margaret.

So, maybe Margaret can be added to the poem?

Margaret...

When Angel silently chanted this name in his heart, he suddenly remembered something.

If nothing unexpected happened, he seemed to have seen this name in the Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, and he also went to Margaret's boudoir. In her boudoir, Angel did not find anything valuable, but he 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 cloud and mist carving was really obscure, and it was difficult to see the other person's appearance clearly.

Ingres thought for a moment and simply asked directly: "What's your name, sir?"

Man: "If you can write a poem that satisfies me, I will tell you my name as a reward."

Ingres wanted to say the name that was on the tip of his tongue, but after thinking about it, he held back.

"Then I will start to recite the poem. This poem... is nameless."

Ingres took a deep breath, turned around, turned his back to the man, and began to recite loudly: "Oh, my dear Margaret, I miss you so much. Even if the forest is full of miasma, even if the city is full of guards, even if the way to find you is full of sins, it 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 throbbing. Oh, Margaret, you are so beautiful, as beautiful as the bright moon in the second half of the month, shining on my humble heart; as beautiful as..."

Sickening, vulgar, and straightforward.

Even though Ingres recited the poem in a rhythmic tone, he was still nauseated, and his arms were covered with goose bumps.

The reason why he turned around and recited with his back to her was because he didn't want people to see his expression when he recited the poem. Ingres felt it was a disaster just by imagining it.

This poem was completely different from the previous two, even the style was different, but this poem was found by Ingres in Margaret's room.

If the man in front of him was really that person, perhaps this poem could pass his test.

Another two minutes, after Ingres finished reciting, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

At the same time, applause sounded behind him.

Ingres turned his head and saw the man looking at Ingres with praise.

"As expected of a poet who can recite "The Kiss" and "When You Are Old", even if he can control poems in my style, he can do it so easily."

The man's words made Ingres feel relieved.

This is the other party's style, that is to say, even if it still fails this time, at least it will not be punished, and it has also figured out the love poem route that the other party wants.

"This poem is really wonderful. If Margaret sees her, she will definitely feel my blazing love!"

"Thank you for your poem. I am very, very satisfied with this one. I must write it on the painting so that my dear Margaret can see it!"

After speaking, the man began to write the poem on the drawing board quickly.

Seeing this scene, Angell was completely relaxed. It seems that this alchemical anomaly has passed smoothly.

Since this love poem can pass, it proves one thing, that this man may really be that person.

While Angell was thinking, the man quickly finished writing the poem and turned to look at Angell: "I am very satisfied with your three poems, especially the second one. Although it does not conform to my style, it still cannot cover up its charm."

"So, I decided to give you a reward."

Angell was stunned. The characters in the anomaly can also give rewards. Could this guy be a time thief? Or has he actually transcended the strange omen?

While Angel was guessing, the man had already walked up to Angel and took Angel's hand.

Angel frowned but did not break free.

Then, the man said loudly: "My reward is to recognize that you are an excellent poet! In my eyes, you are a poet bathed in moonlight!"

After speaking, the man waved his other hand and slapped it heavily.

Angel only felt a pain.

Then the man let go of his hand, and Angel quickly covered his slapped hand, which was red and without any marks.

The man looked at Angel's painful appearance and apologized: "Excellent poet, I forgot that my hand was a little strong, are you okay?"

Angel shook his head as if nothing had happened: "Nothing, is this a reward?"

The man scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I don't have anything good on me, I can only give you a compliment."

Well, praise can also be regarded as a reward.

Angel smiled reluctantly: "It is also an honor for me to receive the praise of the gentleman."

The man immediately accepted this polite remark without hesitation: "You are right, this is an honor. After all, you are the first person who can pass my poetry test."

"I'm leaving, Margaret has been waiting for me for a long time, I believe she will love this poem to death."

After speaking, the man's figure began to slowly decompose, and the separated cloud and mist turned into a door.

And this door is obviously the exit of this alchemical omen.

At the moment when the door was formed, a voice sounded faintly in Angel's ears: "By the way, I almost forgot what I promised you. My name is Augustine..."

......

Angel, who came out of the alchemical aura, looked at the dagger that had been completely tamed and fell into silence.

That person was indeed Augustine.

The love poem he saw in the Nightmare Realm Naraku City was written by Augustine to Margaret.

It was precisely because the poem that Angel read was written by Augustine that he passed the alchemical aura.

As for the reward mentioned by Augustine...

Angel lowered his head and looked at his hand that was hurt just now... Well, there was no trace, it was just a compliment.

Let him compliment, he didn't expect any reward.

However, after experiencing this alchemical aura, Angel had many doubts. Why did he meet Augustine in the alchemical aura when refining this dagger?

Whether there is a connection between the alchemical anomaly and the things being refined is an unanswered question in the alchemical circle itself, but most alchemists believe that even if it cannot be seen on the surface, there is a certain connection in the dark.

If there is a connection, does it mean that the "door" opened by the dagger is related to Augustine?

Also, was the wall of the Nightmare Realm Naraku City also built by Augustine?

In addition to the above doubts, Angel has a bigger doubt.

Although the man said his name was Augustine, Angel confirmed one thing from the love poem of the Nightmare Realm Naraku City.

Augustine's full name is Augustine Noah.

His last name is Noah.

So, is he related to the Noah clan?

Did the Black Count let Wai go with him, as Rhine said, just out of curiosity?
