Chapter 3285 "Drunk" and "Professor"

Xia De moved his position slightly to prevent the owl hanging upside down with Bingling from the window, while the old forest guard did not forget to explain:

"I didn't mean to steal things. At that time, I was hungry and tired. I fell asleep after running into the castle tower. I woke up in a hurry and didn't notice that I wrapped this in my clothes when I rolled up my coat."

The material of the silk cloth is quite high-end, but the area after being unfolded is only the size of two palms. This thing is probably the same as a blanket for Mia. Miss Reinhardt was attracted by the big snake pattern on the silk cloth. Thinking of the speculation about "fate", she doubted whether the old forest guard encountered the castle twenty years ago, and whether it was related to the local big snake worship.

Xia De frowned and looked at the circle of patterns around the silk cloth. Most people would subconsciously ignore this circle of decorative patterns, and even if they didn't ignore them, they wouldn't care too much. But in the eyes of foreigners who have the ability to "know words", these patterns are clearly written, and the four sides of the silk cloth are each one sentence. Xia De began to translate them in clockwise order from the above.

【Snake sheds show the secret of fate,

Blood drips here are the first step to step on stage;

The starring position is still vacant.

The shining man has only the only solution.]

Without any verification, Xia De knew that this was a fragment of the poem, and it was a rare fragment of the poem with four sentences at one time. Before obtaining two snake sheds, Xia De might not be able to understand the content of the four sentences, but now everything is clear and clear.

Only by obtaining snake sheds and dropping blood upwards can one join the battle for destiny and become the "starring actor", that is, the protagonist, and then one can become the chosen one of destiny.

Seeing Xia De's serious face, Miss Reinhardt, who was beside him gently rubbed his arm. Xia De shook his head gently, and then the witch heard the voice from his heart:

"Can you hear it?"

"Can you hear telepathy? Wait, isn't this only connected to low levels by high levels, or absolutely trusting what you want to say?"

Xia De told the Witch the rest of his translated poem, and the latter was naturally surprised. However, this was not a place suitable for discussion, so Miss Reinhardt asked the old man in the forest to buy this item.

I thought I would cherish this old man who was very proud of the "adventure" proof when I was young would disagree, but I didn't expect that he would nod after thinking about it:

"Claire, I don't want your money, but if you really find that castle and that white light later, please tell me that my experience back then was definitely not an illusion."

He refused to accept the rewards from the two of them, so Xia De found out the "blood brew" he made from grapes in his pocket. Of course, the old man who was "cheap packaging" of wine would not refuse, and he smiled:

"The climate of this island is not suitable for growing grapes. The wine we drink is much more expensive than on the old continent, which is a good thing."

As he said that, he went to get three wooden wine glasses, opened one of the five bottles of wine that Xia De gave to pour some for all three of them.

The wine was drunk, and the witch lady with long platinum hair immediately covered her mouth, and a faint blush appeared on her face. The old man in Shoaling Lin's reaction was not that exaggerated. He just smiled at the hollow wooden wine glass in his hand:

"So I'm really lucky in my life, and I'll still be treated like this when I'm old. Mr. Watson, it seems that I'm taking advantage of the five bottles of wine you gave."

"What wine? Try it for me."

The voice came from behind, and Professor Reinhardt, who was covering his head, sat up from the small bed. As he spoke, he put up the glasses of at least 800 degrees before he saw that in addition to his old friend, he also had his daughter and a strange young man.

So the middle-aged man opened his mouth and was surprised, and after he confirmed that it was not a dream, he said to Claire Reinhardt:

"Just like when you were a child, don't tell your mother that I'd been drinking secretly, and I won't tell her if you get into trouble in the future."

Old Haman, the forest guard, smiled, and this was Shade's first impression of Professor Reinhardt. Compared with Professor Manning and Professor Lu Yisha, who also had the title of professor, this was an unreliable alcoholic. Of course, afterwards, Shade still improved his knowledge.

"Okay father."

Miss Reinhardt nodded slightly expressionlessly and looked at Xia De again:

"This is Mr. Watson, a foreigner invited by my grandfather to help, and is also my friend."

"Hello, Mr. Watson."

The embarrassed middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Xia De, and was quite curious about what the relationship between the foreigner and his daughter was.

After Professor Reinhardt sobered up, the group of three people prepared to return to the town. The old guardian sent them to the door, and then saw that Xia De just touched the donkey, and it was very gentle and ordered by Xia De to turn around and prepare to set off. Xia De was really very popular with animals.

Xia De drove in front, and the three of them walked smoothly through the woodland at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and returned to Kyle Todd town. During this period, when the owls flew over their heads again, Professor Reinhardt muttered that this did not look like the owl of the island, but the witch was still angry with her father, so she missed this important "clue".

Of course, on the way, Xia De also talked to Professor Reinhardt about the forest guard Lao Haman. Because the forest guard is a profession passed down from generation to generation, he knows a lot of legends about the snow-capped mountains. The professor learned from the forest guards that many stories that are no longer passed down in the town. Although the professor is not a Fatu person, he has lived in the town for more than 20 years and is no different from the Fatu person.

After returning to the town, Miss Reinhardt did not mention her father's drunkenness to her mother. After sitting down in the study, Professor Reinhardt finally talked to Xia De about the concerns of foreigners.

"Snake worship, things under the snow-capped mountains are indeed very important topics. Have you read my research report in the morning, right? To be honest, the things that have been published so far are just superficial traditions of the Fatu people.

Some secrets are not suitable for writing and being known to more people, and I also have an obligation to protect this place. Mr. Watson, you should also have some understanding of the local area. Before I answer your question, you should answer my question first: Do you think this snow mountain is conscious?"

Xia De turned to look at the snow-capped mountain scenery outside the window. This study is on the second floor of the house. The snow-capped mountain scenery seen from the window is very good. Although life in the town is not as convenient as a big city, it is difficult for people in big cities to see this kind of scenery every day:

"Old people like Elder Harald generally regard snow mountain as the existence of 'pan-consciousness'. That is, there is a certain consciousness, but it is far from the real soul and the thoughts. Ordinary local people think that snow mountain is just snow mountain, a holy place with sacred meaning. In my opinion, snow mountain may have some kind of spirituality."

Xia De can only think of this word:

"I don't know whether the mountain has consciousness, but once conceptual things like thoughts and destiny are related to that mountain, they will be affected by that mountain."

The professor laughed:

"It took me ten years to think of your answer. When I told my father-in-law this idea, he smiled and said nothing. I bet you asked the elders about whether there was something under the snow mountain. Did they say they didn't know either? No, they knew, there were only some things they didn't want to say.

I can only answer you from the perspective of ordinary people using my investigation and experience. There is indeed something at the foot of this mountain, and that thing is related to the ancient "giant snake worship" that has been lost in the local area. This is a secret passed down from generation to generation by the elders of the Fatu people, and not even every elder knows it. The next words can only be understood from the perspective of mythology. Maybe it is the snake shed of a giant snake, maybe it is the scales left by a legendary snake god, or just a series of caves drilled out of a giant snake with magical power in the mountains.

Mr. Watson, I am just an ordinary person, and I don’t know much to tell you. If you want to know more, you can only investigate yourself. It is not to explore those known ancient buildings or the remains of the Fatu people, but to explore legends and myths. These are things I can’t do.”

He sighed, but said nothing:

"If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me often. Few local people are interested in the legends of the Fatu people, and I am willing to talk more about these issues with young people. Of course, next time I come to visit, I don't have to bring fruits and eggs. There are not as many rules as big cities in the town."

Professor Reinhardt showed a very calm temperament after sobering up:

"In addition, there is another very important thing I want to ask you, I don't know if you can answer."

"Of course, please ask."

Professor Reinhardt sighed again:

"So, what's your relationship with Claire?"

Xia De glanced at the invisibility surgery and stood on the window sill outside the window, blocking the owl who was looking at the snow-capped scenery. The owl's round face was almost completely pressed against the glass, and she was very excited about this question. Now Miss Reinhardt is downstairs, so the owl openly uses invisibility techniques and is not afraid of being noticed.

As an artist, she also has the characteristics that artists usually have, such as the "oil painting" after the end of the woodland story, and is particularly interested in the complex relationship between people:

"Miss Reinhart and I are just friends, at least for now."

Xia De, who was unwilling to lie, asked this, and then found that Professor Reinhardt looked at him with a very complicated look. He was a little dazed:

"Do you know? The moment you spoke just now, I seemed to have returned to more than 20 years ago, but now I am no longer the one being asked about."
