Chapter 1803: An appointment after dusk
They were unable to find Mayfair who suddenly disappeared until the evening celebration was about to begin... and then returned to the teahouse where Mayfair disappeared.
"If her original home cannot be found in the village, is it possible that she went to the temple again?"
This is what the maid said, for everyone's reference.
"Probably not." Dr. Gers shook his head and said: "But... the time of contact with her was too short after all, so it is difficult to judge this. But we don't have to worry too much. Looking back at these times, it's a big deal. It’s just back to square one.”
"Once, twice...or even the first few times, you may still be able to find the answer with confidence." But Sneff said coldly at this time: "But if it happens dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of times, After trying so hard, you can't change the current situation. Can you still say that 'the worst thing is just to go back to the starting point'...Gers?"
"You mean, you think we won't be able to persevere and eventually go crazy?" Dr. Gers said calmly: "Sneff, are you too underestimated of yourself, or are you too underestimated of us... If nothing else, , even Mayfair herself must have experienced countless times of going back in time, but didn’t she persevere?”
Sneff sneered: "Don't forget, her so-called persistence is based on the fact that she clears her memory after waking up every day... But our memory can be accumulated. Dozens of times... even , after a few more visits, you will be able to ensure that you are in that [today]? I am not underestimating myself, I just don’t think too highly of myself, that’s all.”
Suddenly there was the sound of crowds of people outside, which was the sound of musical instruments. Under the sky that was about to darken completely, the village of the Elf Tribe was now lit up with bright lights.
The elves on both sides of the road got out of the way, and a team of people wearing the clothes of the house, with colorful stripes and markings on their bodies, was slowly passing by carrying a sedan chair.
"This seems to be the team escorting the new sacrifice?" Tina's eyes narrowed.
Dr. Gers said casually: "What a poor child. Because Mayfair escaped, and tomorrow is the day of enshrinement, he had to be temporarily captured and replaced... Wait, do you think Mayfair has any Maybe it’s in this car platform now?”
"You mean, Miss Mayfair suddenly disappeared in order to replace the sacrifice with a new one?" Boss Luo said suddenly.
"Look." Dr. Gers was sorting out his thoughts at this time. "Although we are not completely familiar with Mayfair, based on these few contacts, it seems that she has a kind heart and a sense of justice. Otherwise, she She would not expose the fake gods knowing that there would be danger. Logically speaking, she should be able to think that even if she did, no one would believe her, but in the end she still risked offending everyone. She was finally imprisoned because she bravely spoke out about it. What does this mean? It means that she may not be able to bear to see an innocent child have to take her place because of her own escape."
"Even if this is the case, what can we do?" Tina shook her head: "If we stop her and let her do nothing, we will have to start over again as soon as today's time is over."< br>
Dr. Gers said: "Before Mayfair disappeared, I inquired about a way to intercept the sacrifice."
"What can I do?"
"That is to successfully show love to the person who is the sacrifice at the celebration." Dr. Gers was saying: "There is a legend about this celebration. If someone shows love to the sacrifice, and can get the blessing of the goddess [Glittan] If so, then she may not only not have to be a sacrifice, but she may even be able to gain happiness.”
"Goddess [Glittan]?" Tina subconsciously said: "Is this the name of the god enshrined in the temple?"
"No." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "This is a legend."
He shared the legends about the two goddesses who created the elven tribe that he collected from the beautiful elven girls.
"Two goddesses?" Tina was stunned, thoughtful, then smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. Luo is really inquiring about information. I thought you might be drowning in the sea of beautiful girls. ”
"They are more talkative." Boss Luo said casually.
Sneff shook his head and said: "Even if there is such a legend, the elves in this tribe are honored to be sacrifices... I'm afraid even if someone plans to woo, they will be reviled by everyone, right?"
"It is indeed true." Dr. Gers smiled and said: "So, no one knows whether this legend is true or not. However, there is such a rule in the celebration. If someone wants to offer sacrifices to someone during the celebration, If a person shows love, he must defeat the messenger of the temple... Because people who want to show love are actually challenging the authority of the gods, so they must be punished - similar things have happened before, and many challengers have died. In the hands of the angel.”
"Blatantly snatching sacrifices... Even if it is an ancient rule, I am afraid it will be disgusted by these tribal elves?" Tina shook her head and said: "Even if the challenge is successful, and even the lover who is the sacrifice is taken away, but After destroying the celebrations and sacrifices, it is estimated that even if they are combined, they will not be able to get the blessings of the villagers.”
"It's not an estimate, it's definitely out of the question." Dr. Gers smiled and said, "Do you know why Mayfair's parents settled far away from the village?"
"Could it be?"
"That's right." Dr. Gers nodded and said: "Back then, Mayfair's mother was a sacrifice, but her father successfully took her back... In the end, because of the rules, the sacrifice No more, and the celebration was ruined. Because there were no sacrifices to offer, the tribe was punished one after another in the next few years, with almost no crops. It was not until the next sacrifice appeared that the situation turned around. . But even so, Mayfair's parents were not welcome, so she could only live in a remote place and had little contact with the tribe. Even after Mayfair's parents died, she was regarded as an unlucky child. , not very popular.”
"But...even if we know this, how will it help us?" Sneff said calmly: "At best, it is just to learn more about Mayfair's background, and it will not help the current situation at all. .”
"No, it's a great help." Dr. Gers smiled mysteriously at this time and said: "Everyone, let's participate in this celebration... and become the challenger!"
Pick...a challenger?
Everyone looked at Dr. Gers in surprise, but they didn't know his true plan at this time - but Dr. Gers only said that they would understand when the time comes.
"You have to believe that we are in the same boat now. If I harm you, what good can I gain?" Dr. Gers smiled slightly and said: "I have seen the key to light!"
"Do you know how to solve this dilemma?" Sneff couldn't help but look at him.
Dr. Gers stood up and said calmly: "I said, when the time comes, you will understand...Okay, for the evening celebration, I need to prepare. Since it is to steal the bride, , this dress is not good. You go and get ready, we will meet during the celebration.”
As he said this, Dr. Gers rushed out of the teahouse in a rage.
"Then I'll go get ready too." Luo Qiu also left his seat at this time, "You two, see you later."
"Ah... ha?" The maid Tina couldn't help but be startled at this time. It wasn't until she saw Luo Qiu walking out of the teahouse that she frowned at Mr. Sneff and said subconsciously: "Mr. Sneff, you Don’t you want to prepare?”
Mr. Sneff rolled his eyes and said: "Do you think anyone would believe me if I ran up to challenge the angel and said that I wanted to show my love to the sacrificial girl..."
"Love at dusk is not a rare thing..." The maid covered her mouth and smiled at this time: "How would you know if you don't try it? Besides, Mr. Sneff's capital is still very strong."
Sneff's expression changed slightly, then he snorted heavily, slapped the table and stood up, saying: "See you later, actually, I was not willing to act with you guys from the beginning... Don't do it because this is [ chessboard], I can forget what you have done to me.”
Tina squinted her eyes and watched with a smile as Sneff finally walked out of the teahouse, and then she slowly ate and drank - at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her heart.
"Sister Tiff, you finally woke up..."
"I woke up, but they don't know it yet. Tina, don't say anything yet."
"I know how to do it, Sister Tiff."
……
……
"How long do we have to wait here?" Nan Xiaonan squinted at the current servant captain: Kadilai.
Not long after penetrating the barrier, they stopped and said they were waiting, but they didn't know what they were waiting for - in the tree house they found in the forest.
It's strange... the place where this tree house is located is actually a forbidden area - that is, the forest where the [big stone] is sealed. It's just that she met [Dashi] on the other side of the forbidden area, and this is the other side.
The barrier actually contains a small part of the forbidden area...
"No need to wait." Kadilai suddenly shook his head: "Let's resume action now... Mr. Valli said that we probably won't be able to wait today."
"Okay, where to go next?" Nan Xiaonan asked weakly.
"The tribe of elves." Kadilai said slowly: "They said they were looking for something."
"Okay." Nan Xiaonan shrugged, but suddenly glanced at a box in the corner of the tree house, and then said calmly: "You go down first, I will come down later."
"Why?" Kadilai frowned.
Nan Xiaonan looked unconcerned and said: "Sir, if you don't mind watching a woman solve her physiological needs, then stay and watch."
After saying that, Nan Xiaonan reached out and untied her pants.
"Hurry up!" Kadilai snorted and jumped directly.
"Tsk!" Nan Xiaonan said with disdain at this time: "I don't dare to ask for benefits if I give you, you hothead!"
As she said that, her expression immediately darkened, she quickly opened the box in the corner, and then took out a thick diary from it.
The academic witch from another world narrowed her eyes at this moment, took out the slate fragment she was holding, and placed it directly on the diary - in an instant, the diary suddenly lit up.
It actually turned into a fragment of another stone slab...but it looked different.
"Although I don't know why Mr. Vali is waiting here, he helped me find the second fragment... Sure enough, luck has come, and there is no way to stop it?"
She quickly took the two fragments into her arms... When she found the second fragment, she had already felt the general direction of the new fragment.
"Are you okay?!"
"I have a lot of water!" Nan Xiaonan appeared in front of the tree house at this time, "Isn't it time to come down?"
……
……
After the dusk of the date, on the moon...well, there was no moon in the space where the Elf Tribe was.
But the atmosphere is right.
The young men and women who were about to get married in the upcoming celebration were already gathered together...in the alley, under the eaves, or next to the small bridge.
Boss Luo, who was blessed by makeup and magic, walked to the back of an abandoned house.
Connected to the back is a stream that runs through the village... The waterwheel house next to the stream is the destination of Boss Luo's trip - the place indicated by the note tied to the only intact flower.
There was no one around, except for the gurgling water, the sound of the water wheel turning... and the sound of knocking on the door.
Boss Luo actually just knocked once, and the door of the waterwheel room creaked slowly and opened slowly.
There was light coming in from the small window. It was the light from the village across the stream. It was weak... so weak that only a blurry figure could be seen vaguely in the line of sight.
"You are indeed here." The blurry figure stepped out a little, but it was still blurry, but the voice was very clear.
Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said: "There is only one intact flower left... Such an obvious reminder, I think if I don't come, people will be disappointed."
"Don't worry about things here." The vague figure said quietly: "No matter how many times you come, the result will be the same. This is a nightmare that will never wake up and there will be no tomorrow. Anyway, you are here just to take away It’s just one thing... take it and go back to the tree house, tomorrow will come naturally.”
As he spoke, the blurry figure threw something out... a box containing something - it had already fallen into Boss Luo's hands.
Boss Luo opened the box, took a look at it, and then closed it, "I'm curious about one thing... Do you like sweets?"
"I like it." The vague figure said calmly.
"So..." Boss Luo said slowly: "We meet again, Miss Mayfair, who doesn't like sweets... To be precise, she remembers me. She told me when she woke up last time that she didn't like sweets, and she also It’s Miss Mayfair who really hates humans.”
The blurry figure suddenly became clearer... She walked closer, and the distant light reflected her body. She was wearing a majestic temple guard uniform, looking particularly cold.
