The Whispering Verses Chapter 2395: Story characters and audience
Although this is indeed a good idea, Shade thinks there are also problems:
"Miss Sandel's soul is only petrified, but still exists. This is indeed feasible. But we don't know what caused the illusion against Miss Sandel, and the power of this illusion is really powerful enough to reverse the ancient times. Divine magic? ”
The lady smiled:
"When Granny Siam and Miss Knight encountered the illusion, we were both present. I saw some traces from the illusion. I can use the secret method unique to our tribe to summon a fog. , just like the devil last time, he took the initiative to attract illusions."
Shad listened very carefully, he knew that this lady was going to use the power of the gods:
"Are there any conditions required?"
"Of course, to construct a real fantasy, you also need some actors. Grandma Siam Nord, Miss Knight, you need to play the roles in the fantasy."
"No problem."
The old elf and the female knight immediately nodded in agreement. Of course they also wanted to rescue Miss Sandel.
"And you, of course you also have to play a role in the illusion."
The saint with golden eyes said to Shade again, but after Shade nodded, he added with a smile:
"Of course, you have a more important task - since it is a fantasy, of course there must be a background story. Since the purpose of weaving the fantasy is to bring Leia Sandel back, then in the fantasy, you need to complete this Mission: Let the soul of this mermaid princess shine like gold in the misty fog of consciousness."
This is obviously some kind of description. After thinking about it carefully, Shade continued to nod:
"I understand, let the soul of the stone have temperature, and let the fixed soul form become active again because of the quality of will."
He already had his own plan, and even thought that if it still didn't work, he would try to use a "soul whip" on the mermaid girl in the illusion. Shade thought it was best not to do this.
The flames crackled and burned, and the wind in the desert made almost no sound. The silver shimmering gravel rolled with the wind under the swaying shadows of everyone. The cat head protruding from the stranger's chest yawned, and then lazily curled up back into Shade's clothes.
In this tranquility that almost made people sleep, the people surrounding the fire listened to Shade finish telling the story he had woven.
"How do you feel?"
After Shade finished speaking his thoughts, he asked several other people in the small camp.
Grandma Siam Nord nodded:
"Good story, but what role do we play?"
Miss Meister’s smile is still mysterious and quiet:
"Any character who appears in the story can do it. You have experienced illusions, and we need you to support the new illusions."
"Then I will be the witch of the deep sea."
Grandma Siam Nord then said, not caring that he was a "villain", but the female knight thought for a moment before speaking:
"Can I play roles of different genders? Can I be the prince?"
Her temperament is indeed not suitable for any other major female character in the story. Fortunately, this is the fifth era, and the "prince" in the story Shade will tell can of course be a woman.
"No problem, then I will be the human princess who is very lucky and eventually marries the prince."
The saint also chose a role for himself, and then looked at Shade:
"What about you?"
"There seems to be nothing left among the main characters, right?"
The story is not complicated, and Shad happened to be in the opera written by Dorothy:
“I don’t want to play another mermaid princess. As for the mermaid king, well, I don’t think it’s suitable for me either.”
The light brown-skinned lady asked softly:
"Think carefully, what is missing from this upcoming 'drama'?"
Xia De suddenly thought of this question:
"Narrator? Audience?"
So the Saint stretched out his right hand in front of him, and with just a slight touch, the white fog surged in from all directions, wrapping everything except Shade and the bonfire.
The elves, female knights and saints also disappeared into the fog. Shade did not try to see through the fog of the "God of Mists". He placed his left leg across the sand, his right leg on the sand, and sat on the fire. Staring at the flames in front of the pile.
After waiting for a while, the steady voice of the stranger told the story that is not ancient:
“A long time ago, there was an ancient mermaid kingdom deep in the sea. The king and queen of the kingdom gave birth to seven princesses, and the youngest among them was the most beautiful. The innocent and beautiful little mermaid spent all day in the sea with fishes. Playing in groups, accompanying dolphins and whales, and weaving the most beautiful silks with octopuses and sea crabs.”
The sound of gurgling water came from the fog, and part of the dense fog dispersed. Shade looked up and saw that he seemed to be sitting on the bottom of the sea at the moment. Above him, in the almost completely transparent water, he looked like a human with a fish tail. Miss Sandel appeared, smiling and swimming with a school of red and white striped minnows.
Water plants swayed on the ground beside Shade, and sea crabs and shrimps crawling on the seabed moved slowly, but they all avoided the bonfire and Shade next to him.
Looking at Miss Sandel's expression again, the smile was clearly a bit stiff and unnatural. Not to mention that compared to professional opera singers, even ordinary people's forced smiles are more normal than this.
Her smile is like a sculpture that has been artificially shaped, and the movement of her body is manipulated like a puppet. And thinking about it this way, looking at Miss Sandel's current state, it may even feel a little strange.
However, Shade learned one thing from this, that is, mermaids living in the deep sea would not just cover their upper bodies with shells and water plants. Fairy tales are indeed lies, and mermaids wear very decent clothes woven with special materials in the deep sea.
The familiar scenes of ocean life did not seem to elicit any response from the petrified soul, so the story around the campfire continued:
"Father and mother always said that the world above the sea is dangerous for the little mermaid. But the adult sisters always told the little mermaid excitedly that the world above the water is so bright and colorful, and those who use double How amazing the ships built by walking humans are.
The clever little mermaid princess can always imagine scenes she has never seen from these stories. So every night when she slept, the world on the sea would sneak into her dreams. Thinking and thinking, hoping and hoping, finally, the little mermaid princess could not resist the temptation, and one day she quietly went to the water alone. ”
A richer scene appeared in the water in the fog. First, seven beautiful mermaids gathered together to talk. After a quick scene transition, Miss Sandel, a fish-tailed woman, struggled to swim upwards.
But in fact, her height did not change, but the ocean scene in the fog kept moving downwards.
Shad raised his head and looked at this scene, watching as a bright and exaggerated light gradually appeared above the puppet-like Miss Sandel.
And when she touched the light, the scene was completely filled with sunlight for a moment, and then turned into fog again.
But the surrounding sounds did not disappear, but the original sound of gurgling water disappeared, replaced by the clear sounds of seagulls and cruise ship whistles.
The white mist dispersed again, allowing a clear sea scene to appear before Shade's eyes.
Miss Sandel popped her head out of the water in "surprise" and looked at the sky, the sun and everything on the sea with "excitement".
The whistle sounded louder in the distance. She was first "scared" by the huge cruise ship, and then quickly hid under the water.
But she did not swim away or retreat into the deep sea. After cautiously discovering that the ship had no ill intentions towards her and did not even notice her, she slowly swam under the cruise ship under the sea.
After swimming with the cruise ship for a while, she popped her head close to the side of the ship, and then smiled as she looked at the tall human creations in front of her, which were as tall as undersea hills, slowly moving forward on the water.
All her expressions and postures were so weird that the sunny scene seemed like a ghost story. As the fog dispersed, Miss Knight dressed in men's clothing appeared on the deck of the tall cruise ship. .
This gray-haired female knight was originally capable and handsome. She was now wearing a black formal suit and her short gray hair was hanging loose. Although she could still tell that she was a woman, it was obviously completely different from how she looked when she was wearing armor.
She was holding a glass in her hand, standing in trance behind the railing of the deck and looking into the distance. Suddenly, accidentally, the wine glass in his hand fell into the sea.
So the "Prince" grabbed the railing with one hand, leaned out of the deck and looked down. Then he saw a hand covering his forehead, and the other hand holding the wine glass, looking up half confused and half angry. Mermaid in the sea.
At first she was still a little angry, but when she saw the sunlight spreading downwards from above the "Prince" so that the edges of the already handsome face seemed to be glowing, Miss Sandel immediately blushed. Of course, this expression is also very weird, as if too much blush has been applied directly to the cheeks.
After she looked at the "prince" who was looking at her with a shy smile for a moment, she put the wine glass in the water. The water ball wrapped around it and flew upward until it was caught by the "Prince" again.
When the "prince" looked at the sea below again, the figure of the blue-haired girl was no longer there.
"Prince" scratched his hair in confusion, then turned around and walked towards the cabin.
The scene freezes, and Shade, who is sitting alone by the campfire watching this scene, continues:
"Returning from the sea to the mermaid kingdom in the deep sea, no one knew that the little mermaid had briefly been exposed to the sun and the human world just now. She hid what just happened in her heart, but the prince quietly slipped in at night into her dream, driving away the familiar fantasy dream of the ocean
She learned about the ship from her sister, and thus learned the identity of the "prince". So the little mermaid longed, longed, longed to go to the sea again and see the prince just now.
The sunshine deeply attracted the girl under the sea. Finally, she made up her mind and followed the route in the horror stories told by her mother in her childhood memories to the most terrifying abyss in the deep sea. ”
