Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1422: The ultimate battle is in the deep end
Chapter 1422 The ultimate battle against the latent teeth (thirty-eight)
"Wh...cough cough cough!" When Rosetta, the queen of gems, said this, Palamidis was really startled.
The big cat was drinking coffee and was so frightened that he almost choked to death on half of the coffee he drank. His violent cough almost caught the attention of the entire cafe, until he waved to the rushing waiter, indicating that he was fine.
"You...cough...what did you just say?" Palamides wiped the coffee spilled on the table with a tissue, and hurriedly asked: "Sphinx Daddy is...what?!"
"Looks like I have to describe things clearly from beginning to end before you can understand." Rosetta smiled wryly.
Three hundred years ago.
A woman who has just died of her husband is quietly reminiscing on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea of the happy days she used to live with her man.
Beside the woman is a canoe, a beautifully crafted gilt boat full of flowers, and her recently deceased husband. Her husband, already an old man, at least seventy years old, died suddenly of a heart attack one quiet night. It was death of old age, and he walked very peacefully.
And this woman, because of her elven blood, had a long life, and when her husband left, she still looked like a young teenage girl, only in a black widow's dress and a dimple on her face. Sadness, a little set off her old age.
Reluctantly. She looked at her husband who was sleeping forever in the light boat, but she couldn't send the light boat out anyway.
Originally, the sea burial was supposed to be held early in the morning. When the boat was thirty yards from the shore, she would start the pilot on the boat, set the boat on fire, and let her husband's body rise to the sky with the smoke, and the ashes were scattered in every corner of the Mediterranean, and all over the ocean. integrated.
However, why?
She didn't want to see her husband turn to ashes, despite the unavoidable fact.
How dare you!
Looking at her beloved man like this, looking at his old but fresh face, the woman felt that the old man seemed to be alive.
Maybe it was just a mistake, maybe he didn't have a heart attack at all, he just overslept.
Maybe it can be saved.
There she waits silently, as if thinking that a miracle will actually happen to bring her love to life again. Just waited, waited, and waited for hours at a time. Early morning passed, noon came, and the warm sunshine of Egypt shone down, dispelling the twilight by the sea, as if urging her to start as soon as possible.
She was actually known better by anyone. Her husband was indeed dead and could not come back to life. Because that's aging, that's age, and she sees the growing wrinkles on her husband's face day after year, knowing that the time that has passed cannot be reversed.
This is aging, this is death. Man, what a pathetic, short-lived creature.
The woman still couldn't let her husband go. Every eye is the last, and yet every eye has not seen enough. If the sea burial is not carried out quickly, her husband's body will stink and rot, but how can she bear to set fire to this body?
So, noon passed and evening ushered in. This beach, which was already less infested, has become even more deserted. After a day of exposure, the flowers on the boat were a little dry. Fortunately, under her husband's body, there was ice made of special magic, and the low temperature kept the body intact. It has not yet started to rot and stink. .
But it still won't work. The woman sighed. She herself couldn't believe that she had been staring at her husband's body all day. She sighed again and gently pushed the boat.
This time it's a real goodbye. No matter how deep the love once was, no matter how reluctant you are, you still need to say goodbye when it's time to say goodbye.
Just as the woman was about to put the boat into the water and begin the sea burial, something floated over the sea far away in the Mediterranean Sea.
The woman frowned and looked out into the sunset, trying to see what the thing was.
Seeing this, she was startled.
That's a head. Lion's head!
Floating with the water, the lion's head soon floated to the shore and rested weakly on the beach.
Is that part of a lion's carcass? Was it the head of some poor prey in the distance, brutally cut off by a hunter after it died? The woman walked over and looked curiously. Why do animal heads cross the ocean and come to such a place?
However, upon closer inspection, the head is different from the ordinary lion head.
It's...alive! ?
Although there is no breathing, although it looks blue and dying, the corners of its eyes are slightly beating, and its jaw is twitching slightly, as if it is telling people that it is not dead, it still wants to live.
This is not an animal. Although it looks like the head of a lion, it has clear features and features with some differences from the real beast.
This is an orc. Or, this is the head of an orc!
Women have heard legends before that orcs can live for a week after their heads are cut off. Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, the head of the lion man in front of the woman is indeed still alive and remains alive.
...what an amazing vitality!
So, at that moment, a crazy and terrible idea came to the woman's heart!
Perhaps, her husband can [live]!
Perhaps sewing this lion head onto her dead husband's body will [save] her husband!
Perhaps the [happiness] she has always hoped for will come back again!
------And, this time will be longer!
With this crazy idea, the woman did an incredibly crazy thing.
She recovered her husband's body in a boat that was supposed to be burned at sea for burial!
In the dark, she took her husband's body and the lion's head and hid in her basement in the slum!
In there, she begins a terrifying and insane operation. She cut off her husband's head from the corpse, and then used the silk of the extremely rare desert devil silkworm she treasured to attach the lion's head to her husband's headless body!
Although she is an amazingly talented tailor and knitter, this huge [surgery] took her all night to complete. By the time of sunrise, she was exhausted and nearly collapsed.
Then she looked at the thing lying on the operating table, the monster with the lion's head, the human body, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She naively thought that doing so would bring her husband back. However, when she looked at that monster-like body, the more she looked at it, the more terrifying it became.
It wasn't that the lion's head was attached to call back her dead husband. Just the opposite!
That lion head is [taking away] her husband's body!
The dry and wrinkled body that originally belonged to an old man in his 70s has gradually regained its youthfulness, the muscles have become strong and strong, and even the skin has become smooth and elastic! It seems that some kind of active substance was released from the head of the lion man and spread all over the body of the human body that was just attached, so that the old body in his seventies was restored to a young man in his twenties and thirties!
But the woman knows very well that this is not her husband! This is not her husband, this is... that lion orc!
She went to look at the man's head that was cut off over there and was sealed in a glass container and culture fluid. That was her husband, and he was really dead!
She just got hot headed and attached her husband's body to that lion's head!
Why is she so stupid! The woman woke up at this time. It was obviously impossible to save her husband!
All she did was to cheapen that lion's head!
Everything she did seems to be hypnotized and made unconsciously!
--------- Hypnosis? !
At this moment, the lion head also woke up. Or it is no longer just a lion head, he is already a monster with a lion head, neither a human nor an orc, a pure hybrid monster.
He can't speak yet, but he turns his head slightly, opens his eyes, and glances at the woman.
The woman panicked, hugged her husband's only remaining head, and fled the scene of the incident!
After that, the woman finally gave up and buried her husband at sea. Although, it was only her husband's head that was left on the boat and eventually burned to ashes by the fire. After that, the woman tried to go back to the house to find the lion-headed monster. But the monster had fled the place and disappeared.
The lion's head that floated from afar was revived and stole the body of the woman's dead husband. Since then, the woman has never seen the lion-headed monster again.
It wasn't until decades later that a new force gradually emerged in Egypt. A peculiar-looking lion-headed man, the guy who called himself [Father Sphinx], made a name for himself in the underworld~IndoMTL.com~ and eventually became the richest man in Egypt, dominating one side.
"That's it. My story ends here." Rosetta smiled lightly, picked up the cup, and took another sip of her coffee.
After hearing the story of Rosetta, the queen of gems, Palamidis was shocked and could not calm down for a long time. He tried to take a sip of coffee to suppress his shock, but it took a lot of effort to avoid choking on the coffee he drank: "So...so...Papa Sphinx The parts below the head are all the remains of your first husband...? It's an unbelievable topic..."
"You don't have to believe it, it's just a story anyway." Rosetta said with a smile: "It's impossible for anyone in the world to believe such a story beyond reality."
"No..." Palamides tried to breathe a sigh of relief: "I trust you."
Because, he has seen it before.
Although it's hard to believe, Palamides has seen something similar before.
