Chapter 936 Cruelty

There is a big gap between facts and legends, but the residents and ordinary people in the streets are more enthusiastic about legends. This may be related to their peaceful daily lives.

However, most adventurers are not interested in these legendary stories. They think that these stories are the product of those busy people who are full and hungry to kill their spare time.

Perhaps their feeling is correct. After all, the experience of wandering between life and death has no romantic color. Originally, these legendary stories were much crueler.

But I have to admit that these legendary stories are indeed easy to attract girls like Princess Analita, who long for love, romance, and colorful life.

The main reason why she has these longings is that she is locked in this tree house of several hundred square meters and cannot go out all day long.

After reading a few pages, I couldn't read any more, so I put the thick book back on the coffee table, rested my hands on my head, and dozed off with my eyes closed.

"Don't you like reading?" Princess Analita's voice sounded in my ears.

I opened my eyes and she spread the book flat on her knees, looking sideways at me with curiosity and doubt in her beautiful eyes.

"No, I like reading, I'm just not interested in these fictional stories."

"Although these stories contain fictional elements, there are also many real elements in them." She turned to one of the pages and said, "For example, here is the section where our heroes are fighting the vicious monster boss."

"How are you sure this paragraph is true?" I asked puzzled.

"Because this description is very cruel," she said. "As an adventurer, I felt the same way."

"The reality is much crueler than these. Your Highness Princess, I once talked with Achilles. He told me that in the beginning, there were countless legendary heroes, but in the end, only a few came back alive. Several, this is the historical truth, but it seems that not many people are willing to believe and recognize this result."

"Of course they won't believe this result," the princess said: "Your result is too desperate, and what the people need is hope. As long as you give them hope, they can continue to live peacefully."

"You are right, but I prefer to struggle in despair and struggle until the moment I finally break free."

"What happens after you break free?" the princess asked.

"After you break free, hope will come naturally. I like the hope at this time, just like the feeling of a fish that is about to die of thirst and returns to the sea with its final leap."

"I can't understand this hobby of yours." The princess curled her lips and said, "I always feel a bit masochistic."

"I think so."

I was dozing off for a long time after that. As for the princess, who knows, she might have been reading a book.

Phoenix and the others came back around 4:30 pm as usual.

As soon as I entered the house, Phoenix swooped over and sat on my belly. Although she was very light, the coldness was enough for me to bear. However, I was still very lucky that it was not Cagalli who flew over directly. After all, the orcs are generally much heavier than the humans, with the exception of the cat people.

After I sat up, Remy slowly flew to the top of my head, and then she sat firmly on my neck. Then she shook her butt twice and got into a comfortable position. Then she stopped. Move around.

Remi's behavior made me feel helpless. It wasn't that I didn't like her riding on my neck, but that this way of sitting made me unable to lie down.

I sat on the sofa with my back straight, and I didn't feel the comfort and laziness of sitting on the sofa at all.

Lylea, Yula and the ice-fire girl sat across from me, looking at me and covering their mouths while laughing.

What a bunch of unsympathetic guys.

Cagalli came out of the room and asked me, "Did you go to the mausoleum today?"

I shook my head: "I didn't go."

She asked again: "Has the bill been paid yet?"

"Yeah" I nodded: "It's all paid off."

"You only need to go to the mausoleum to pay it back?" She said in surprise: "That's a lot of money."

I curled my lips, looked at Cagalli, and said, "Why do I hear a strong sense of regret in your tone? Aren't you happy that I paid off the bill?"

"Of course I'm happy that you've paid off the bill, but" she sighed and said, "if you hadn't paid off the bill, I would still have an excuse to explore the tomb with you."

"Exploring the mausoleum is not a fun thing. Any negligence may cause fatal injuries." I said to her seriously: "So, I will never let you face this."

"But last time, wasn't the Royal Tomb of Airui City also attacked by us?" Cagalli argued: "It's better not to underestimate our strength."

"The mausoleum here is not quite the same as the Imperial Mausoleum of Airui City. You have to know that the goblins are the first humans born in the Zephyr Continent. The wisdom they possess is unimaginable by future generations. Unless it is absolutely necessary, It’s better that we don’t get suspected easily.”

"Brother, did you see something terrible?" Yura asked me: "Why do I feel that your tone is fearful when you say this?"

I shook my head: "This is not fear, but awe. I did see some things in the tomb. However, these things themselves are not terrifying, but they are a representative of the development of an era."

Yura pursed his lips with a puzzled expression on his face: "What do you mean?"

"I met the Fairy Queen from a thousand years ago in the tomb."

"Real or false!" Lilea said in surprise: "Is the Fairy Queen a thousand years ago a corpse?"

"It's not a corpse, but an image, an image recorded thousands of years ago."

Princess Analita said: "Image? Xiaoyi, are you saying you saw what the Fairy Queen looked like thousands of years ago?"

"Yes, I saw it." After trying to recall it, I described: "She is graceful, majestic, and every word and deed reflects the style of a queen."

Phoenix tilted his little head and asked me, "What does she look like?"

"She can barely be considered beautiful in appearance, but her temperament is outstanding."

"What's her name?" Phoenix asked again.

"Ophelia."

"Ophelia." Princess Analita murmured, covering her forehead. Her eyes rolled around, as if she was trying to remember something, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hey, princess, what's wrong with you?" Susan asked.

The princess did not answer, but raised her hand to stop Susan from continuing to ask questions, and kept repeating 'Ophelia' as if she was possessed.

Susan raised her head worriedly and asked me what to do with her eyes.

I had no good idea, so I could only shake my head slightly at her.
