The Trial Game of Life

Like Jin Cheng, Tang Cuo immediately thought of the book "The Book of Herodo Aesop" mentioned by Polly when he saw this name.

This Herodo must be a master of puppet making, but Tang Cuo couldn't find anyone to explain his connection with the story in Sicily.

He can be sure that he is now in some kind of illusion, or shrouded by some kind of enchantment, because the battle between him and Polly was earth-shattering, almost destroying most of the library, but no one came to investigate .

Open the task panel, the main task is still fixed on those three words - survive.Tang Cuo couldn't sense other crises for a while, and couldn't change the status quo, so he simply got up to look for books.

He wants to find the "Book of Herodo Aesop", there may be clues in it.

Jin Cheng's situation got worse again, because he suddenly heard a voice-over that sounded familiar, "Huh? Who broke into my toy box?"

This playful tone made Jin Cheng quickly find a name in his mind: Aesop.Aesop, the real rebel walking on Sicily.

He only hears his voice but does not see his person.

Herodo and the puppets didn't respond to this either.

This proves that Aesop is now outside the book, and he finds someone who has fallen into the world of the book.Just now he even called this place his toy box, which shows that he has some control over it.

Jin Cheng shrugged, feeling the mockery of fate.It would be fun if Aesop found out that he was the one who fell into the puppet kingdom. With his current size, Aesop probably only needs one finger to crush him to death.

Or even more extreme, just burn the book.

When the crisis came, Jin Cheng didn't have time to think more, and immediately ran towards the thief.The goal of the side mission is to catch the thief, as long as he clears the level, he can escape from the book world.

The thief was no match for Jin Cheng, and he was caught up within a few steps, but Jin Cheng was still too late.

Just as his hand was about to grab the thief's arm, the whole space was pressed to the stillness switch, and the faces of the puppets were all frozen in funny expressions.

Jin Cheng, who was the only one who could move, turned around, and turned around when he saw Aesop.

Four eyes facing each other.

The ignorance and curiosity in Aesop's eyes quickly faded, replaced by a deep smile.He came back to life completely, and the one standing in front of Jin Cheng now was the rebel Aesop.

"So it's you, Lancelot." He smiled, and the tassel earrings shone with fine silver light.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency the Rebel." Because of the size difference, Jin Cheng had to look up at him.Fortunately, he was used to it calmly, so that the scene didn't look too funny.

"I thought you would be trapped by Polly with Theodore, but who would have thought that you would come here." Aesop looked around at the puppet kingdom under his feet, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.When he looked at Jin Cheng again, he said, "It seems that you have discovered my secret. I underestimated you, Lancelot."

Jin Cheng was helpless, "Whether you believe it or not, this was purely an accident."

Aesop obviously didn't believe it, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Lancelot, who are you?"

Jin Cheng: "Me? I'm Lancelot, the most popular bard in the entire continent. Haven't you heard the new song I composed in the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers, Your Excellency the Rebel? It has received a lot of praise, and I think you will like it too." of."

In fact, Jin Cheng also wanted to ask - who exactly is Lancelot.

Judging from his inexplicable involvement in the series of incidents of the Rose Sect, and judging from the melody played by Augustine on the cliff of the dragon last time, it can be seen that he was born in the hidden moon country and finally met with the west. Lancelot, who died there with Otto, was not just a bard.

And Aesop's words pushed his guess one step forward.If even Aesop is doubting Lancelot, his identity is even more doubtful.

Aesop: "I investigated you, and you told everyone that the Kingdom of the Moon is your hometown. You did grow up there, but who were your parents? For the Kingdom of the Moon, you are more like One was drilled out of nowhere from the sea of ​​sand."

Jin Cheng smiled, "Since Your Excellency the Rebel also said that I grew up there, the Land of Moon Hidden is of course my hometown. As for who my parents were and where I came from, I was still young at that time, so what about a child?" Will you remember?"

Stop asking, I still expect you to tell me who I am.

But in Aesop's eyes, Jin Cheng was playing sloppy with him.So he smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, and those puppets came to life again, rushing towards Jin Cheng like a tide.

Thousands of dolls, such a big battle, it is impossible for Jin Cheng to escape alone, let alone a giant Aesop next to him.He expected that Aesop would not kill him immediately, so he simply gave up resisting.

The puppets lifted Jin Cheng up while happily singing labor songs, and started the parade with neat steps.

They walked through the streets, crossed small bridges, and climbed over roofs with great momentum.In the blink of an eye, the entire puppet kingdom fell into the joy of a celebration.And no matter where the parade team went, it was always in Aesop's sight, because he was so tall that he could overlook the whole country at a glance.

"Actually, I like you quite a lot, and I'm not interested in killing you. Music is more interesting than boring plots. But you just saw through my secret, so I can't let you go." Aesop said, An instant killing intent flashed in his eyes.But he looked at Jin Cheng and seemed to be thinking again, rubbing the handle of the umbrella with his fingertips, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more secretive.

In the end, he said: "Why don't we make a bet, since I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to let you go, I'll leave the decision to someone else. Let's bet—Theodore."

Jin Cheng sat cross-legged on the wave of dolls, like cargo on an airport conveyor belt, adapting well to the current situation.He looked up at Aesop and said, "Theodore doesn't know I'm here."

Aesop smiled, "That's right. If he can find this place, I'll let you go. If he can't, you have to stay here forever, as a collection in my dollhouse."

Then you are doomed.

Tang Cuo couldn't find me, but I was going to be a widow.

Jin Cheng thought so in his heart, but instead frowned, he asked, "Where am I right now?"

Aesop was curious, "You've come in, don't you know?"

Jin Cheng spread his hands, "I told you, this was purely an accident."

Aesop: "The Book of Herodo Aesop, I don't believe you can't guess it, but it doesn't matter if I tell you directly. If you want to stay here in the future, you will always know."

It really was this book.

Jin Cheng guessed right, but he didn't feel very happy.After tidying up all the messy clues in his head, he stared into Aesop's eyes and said, "I don't know Herodo, and I don't know how the rebel Lord got to where he is today. But I I really want to know, why did you appear here alone when the Rose sect conspired to cause trouble in Yorkshire?"

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng quickly confirmed the time after entering the dungeon, and it happened to be July now.And in the southern part of the Sicilite continent, where the Hundred Flowers Kingdom belongs, there is a harvest festival in July.

When the Rose Sect was engaged in affairs in the Moon Hidden Kingdom, they deliberately chose the day of the Flower Festival. With their sense of ritual, if they wanted to set a date in July, it must be the most important harvest festival in summer.It was another great day with singing, dancing and all the fun.

Calculating the time, there are three days left before the Harvest Festival.

Jin Cheng once found a map of the Sicilian continent in a corner of the library. Yorkshire is in a small principality under the Hundred Flowers Kingdom. It would take about two days to travel with the fastest eagle and eagle.

According to Lin Yandong's narration, in the copy of "July Rose", Aesop was present.

Time is obviously so tight, why did Aesop, an important person who was supposed to appear in Yorkshire, come here?Is there any important thing that he must come here in person?

Aesop's smile deepened, "Oh, I didn't even know there was going to be trouble in the Rose Sect, but you actually knew?"

"The bard who is famous in the mainland certainly has his own loyal audience in the Rose Sect." Jin Cheng babbled nonsense, and took the opportunity to give Aesop some eye drops.Then he changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty the Rebel is looking for the book "Sicilite Fairy Tales", right?"

Book of Gods.

July rose.

Lin Yandong.

Aesop.

God Slayer Squad.

If these key words are connected in series, then Jin Cheng can get a key to solve the puzzle - "Sicilite Fairy Tales".

Why did Lin Yandong bring this book out of the copy?

Why did Yan Yun use this book to approach the gods?

There is only one answer - "Sicilite Fairy Tales" is the so-called book of gods.

The story goes like this:

This book of the gods was hidden in the library of San Cocolini at the beginning, and Aesop found it and took it to Yorkshire.After the rose in July, this book fell into Lin Yandong's hands again, and Lin Yandong brought it back to Eternal Night City.

In the end, Lin Yandong lent the book to Tang Cuo.

If the system does not reject cheating methods, as long as Tang Cuo takes out the book "Sicilite Fairy Tales" in the library, they can pass the level.

No, not right.

Will there be two Books of Gods at the same time?

This god is not that god.

The god of Sicily is the goddess of nature, it doesn't matter what kind of god it is, not the god who created Evernight City.They are no different from a person or a flower on this continent, they are just things created by the god of Evernight City.

But why can a mere book in the dungeon threaten this god?

Unless, this book is not the product of this copy, it itself is a book belonging to the gods.The gods just placed it on the continent of Sicily, and even boldly guessed that He created this continent based on this book.

Will there be a second book like this in the world?

Jin Cheng deeply felt that - the book in Tang Cuo's hand was the only one.

If this inference is true, there is only one problem he has to solve.

After Yan Yun's death, all the equipment was recovered by the system.For example, the nameless blade, which appeared in the Fantasy Infinite Market, flowed into the hands of players again through the hands of the black hat.

What about "Sicilian Fairy Tales"?

Either it is also recycled by the system, or it is taken away by God.That was something of God, and He took it away was the most likely answer.

He has been here.

He has come to Sicily.

More than once.

And in view of the uniqueness of this book, the story becomes like this:

Yan Yun came to Sicily, found the book, and took it away.The god slaughter failed, and the book was taken back by the gods and put back into Sicily.After that, Aesop, Lin Yandong, and Tang Cuo changed hands.

Jin Cheng was so immersed in his own speculation that he forgot about Aesop for a moment.Aesop was surprised that Jin Cheng directly mentioned the name of the Book of Gods, he really knew a lot.

Thinking of this, Aesop put away his surprise and asked, "Is it strange that I came to get my book?"

This time it was Jin Cheng's turn to be surprised, "Your book?"

"Yes. Edwin gave it to me. Isn't that my book? I hid it here back then, but now I just retrieve it." Aesop said, raising his hand and snapping his fingers again , the puppets turned around abruptly, hugged Jin Cheng and brought him back to the square.

They tied up Jin Cheng, stacked up a hill like an arhat, sent him to the tower on one side of the square, and hung him there.

Jin Cheng savored Aesop's words, and was so astonished that he didn't resist the whole process.

Edwin turned out to be Theodore's older brother Edwin.Everyone knows that Edwin and Aesop have an old story, but it is too unexpected that he gave Aesop the book "Sicilian Fairy Tales".

"The Rose of July" is about Edwin's last battle, where he died.Aesop took the book he gave him and witnessed his death.

Maybe even stabbed him.

But let’s not talk about this, how did Edwin get "Sicilite Fairy Tales"?

God—Yan Yun—God—Aesop—Lin Yandong—Tang Cuo, Edwin can only insert the paragraph "God—Aesop" in this wandering journey in the book.

After the gods put the book back to Sicily, the book was in the hands of Edwin, and then he gave it as a gift.

Or……

Jin Cheng instantly thought of a very simple and rude but ridiculous inference, but the current situation did not allow him to think about it, he looked up at Aesop, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Aesop answered the question, "My father told me that if I encountered any difficulties in the future, I would confess to God, and God would definitely listen to me. But when my father died, I confessed to God countless times, but He did not respond."

Father, of course, refers to Herodo.

After hearing these few words, Jin Cheng roughly understood why Aesop became a rebel.Herodo's words built his early beliefs, but his death also overturned Aesop's beliefs in an instant.

He is no longer a believer in God, but a traitor.

At the same time, Tang Cuo was still looking for "The Book of Herodo Aesop".

There are too many books in the library, and looking for a book without a clue is like looking for a needle in a haystack.He searched for a whole hour and found nothing.

Seeing that it was already midnight, he returned to Polly's place, facing a pile of spare parts, with a pensive expression on his face.

Herodo is the creator of Polly, and for Polly, that is like his "father".Such a special book, as the librarian here, where will Polly put it?

Tang Cuo has read it. There are several bookshelves here dedicated to books related to dolls, but there is no such book in them.

Where will it be?
