rose nursery rhyme

After hearing Lilith's words, the seraphim forgot to flap its wings, and the whole dragon hovered in the air: "...What does this mean?"

Lilith: "It's literally."

The Seraph has probably been waiting for this moment for many years. It has been noisy all morning, and now it is quieter.

Lilith: "I know what you want to ask, come down and listen to me first, okay?"

She let go of her wand and let the wand float in the air. She also jumped off the broom and looked up at the flying silver dragon.

The purple magic light beam was still around the Seraphim's tail, but this time he didn't need to force it, so he folded his wings and fell back to the gold coin mountain in silence.

He wanted so badly to know what the hell was going on.

What does Lilith mean?Why do you say she... is that 'reason'?

This is impossible, how could it be?They've been together for so long, it doesn't make sense that I didn't notice anything, even if she really is...

The Seraphim didn't dare to think deeply, stepped on the golden mountain and walked down like being burned, walked to Lilith's side very unhappy, and got down on the ground.

He was a little uneasy, his claws and bone tail formed a circle, but his movements were quite docile, encircling the witch in the middle of his body.

As if afraid that she would run away.

What happened next was obviously a private matter between Lilith and Seraphim. Xidi didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he didn't care about it so much, and he resolutely refused to leave if no one chased him away. He propped his chin and looked at the expressions of the two of them.

Seraphim's eyes were serious, while Lilith was expressionless.

Brice was much calmer than him, so he specifically asked, "Should we avoid it first?"

If the other party said it was necessary, he would take the child away and find other ways to watch the fun.

Seraphim just stared at Lilith's face, but Lilith didn't turn her head, and said, "It's okay."

The witch slowly took off her wide-brimmed pointed hat and threw it aside: "It's not that important, it's been so many years... I think someone should know."

The seraphim moved the tips of his wings uneasily. He felt that things were gradually getting out of control. He was obviously a dragon with hard scales, but it was difficult for him to fight against this trend.

He has lived in this mountain for hundreds of years.

Because of the ridiculous contract magic circle above the head, and because the dwarves got a dragon egg from somewhere, Seraphs were bound to this land since childhood—at first they were only raised as young dragons, and later the dwarves A better place was found for him, so he lived in this cave and never saw the sunshine of the outside world again.

Nobody likes losing their freedom.

Seraphim felt that his voice was a little dry, and he stared closely at the witch surrounded by him: "...you said that you are the reason, what do you mean?"

Lilith: "It's literally."

"The dwarves invented what killed them." She threw off her hat, and put her fingers on the neckline of her gown, ripping off the bow. "Everybody thought the way of making was lost with them." —but I stayed."

"I stayed," she repeated, tilting her head, her purple eyes like some kind of inorganic crystal, "until now."

The witch took off the robe that covered her body, and she was wearing a white dress with no sleeves, exposing the girl's slender arms and shoulders.

... There are dense runes engraved on her shoulders, extending all the way to the inside of the skirt, and a dark red gemstone is inlaid in the center of her collarbone. energy of.

Like a heart that has grown in the wrong place.

The Seraphim stared at the runes motionlessly, his dark red eyes gradually becoming deeper.

Lilith was very calm. She touched the smooth scales on Yinlong's forehead and asked him, "Did you recognize it?"

The seraphim did not speak.

Sidi couldn't recognize it, and asked Brice in a low voice, "What's that?"

Lilith: "Golem."

The seraphim obviously knew about it, and she had told it to Bryce and Sheedy.

Xidi asked her, "What is a puppet?"

Lilith explained simply and clearly: "A doll that can use magic."

300 years ago, there was a war on this land.

It was this war that led to the destruction of the entire dwarf race.

Dwarves are a race that is good at inventing and manufacturing. In order to make up for their inability to use magic, they used all their technology. I don't know how long they have been researching before finally inventing this kind of magic doll. thing.

Dolls can use powerful magic, can talk and walk like humans, and possess profound knowledge the moment they are created.

This kind of creation is even better than the magicians that are common on the mainland-golems have almost unlimited reserves of elements, they will not be tired or hurt, and if any part is injured, just replace it.

The dwarves created life by means other than procreation.

This is off limits and a feat that has never been done before.

But the dwarves are naturally violent and warlike. If they complete all the experiments and mass-produce golems, the entire continent can be controlled by them.

They cannot be allowed to succeed.

...This point of view cannot be verified now, after all, the dwarves at that time had been forced into that protracted war without doing anything.

No matter what kind of ideas those people had at that time to start the war, now it seems that it is nothing more than an unfounded guess.

Xi Di blinked, and the first thought that came to her mind was: No wonder she was fine after drinking that tea.

It turned out that Lilith herself was not human.

What else does the Seraphim not understand?He just couldn't accept this fact: "Are you... a puppet?"

but why?

There are many things Yinlong can't figure out.

"The human appearance is the most convenient and the most common form on the mainland." Lilith touched her face, "It looks very similar, doesn't it?"

Indeed, the witch's skin, bones, facial features and appearance are the same as those of humans, and her walking movements are not stagnant. She can blink, breathe, drink tea, and talk.

She even has the ability to think independently.

Xidi wanted to feel the difference between the so-called 'golem' and a real person, but she still didn't move. She just tilted her head and said, "You don't look like a weapon."

This girl's appearance is exquisite and cute. She is a doll, but she is a powerful weapon that makes so many people afraid...

Will the weapon be nested in the cave for more than 200 years, just to study how to better use alchemy to make small cakes?

Lilith: "Because while they gave me great power, they also gave me feelings."

Sidi: "Emotions?"

"This is a way of camouflage." Lilith said, "The less a weapon is made to look like a weapon, the more it will make people relax their vigilance."

It's a pity that the dwarves lost the war before they could verify her power.

...In fact, those who started the war did not intend to exterminate the dwarves.

Under the banner of justice, they want the dwarves to hand over the production method of golems... or simply destroy this technology forever.

After all, even if the record is obtained, there are many things that only dwarves can do.

It's a pity that no matter how human they look on the outside, dwarves are another race after all. In essence, they are closer to some kind of goblins who don't know magic, and their way of thinking is simple. They can't learn tact or anything. It's called giving in.

Maybe that's why dwarves are ostracized from all continents?Hard to say.

In short, they have their own pride, and they will never voluntarily give up their works, even if the result is that the entire city is razed to the ground, even if they have to use all their strength to die with the enemy.

The seraphim was just a baby dragon, useless in battle, so it survived—only the tail was accidentally injured by some kind of magic, and it was eaten away to only bones.

The few remaining dwarves hid the production method of the golem in the treasure pile of the Seraphim guards when the trend of extinction was irretrievable, and placed Lilith, which was still a semi-finished product at that time, in other places near the silver dragon. in the cave.

Perhaps it is the expectation that you or your descendants will be able to get it in the future.

The cave is hidden, the routes inside are intricate, and the contract circle used to control the seraphim conceals the aura. At least at that time, it was the safest place in the entire area.

The latecomers really never found it here.

At that time, Lilith already had a part of the ability to act autonomously, and she had also accumulated a lot of knowledge about magic energy. It was she who completed the final process bit by bit.

Then she came out of the cave and met the seraphim.

Many years later, almost all the people who participated in the war were killed, and the only survivors did not make much progress. Even if there is still a dwarven blood left over, it has long been diluted so that it cannot be seen.

Those reasons and the past are like burnt ashes, falling to the ground and mixing with the dust on the ground.

No one remembers anymore.

After listening to the whole process, Xidi commented in her heart: It's so stupid.

So did the dwarves, and so did the other races that waged war.

The child is very polite, even if he has many incomprehensions about the behavior of intelligent creatures, he will not point and point casually at this time.

I just thought again: No wonder there is no biological activity outside, so this place was originally a battlefield.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, the war obviously completely destroyed the environment of the entire area.That kind of piglets can survive because they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are not very particular about the living environment.

Brace: "What about the manufacturing method?"

Seraphim said in a muffled voice, "I just burned."

He used to be bound by the contract and couldn't leave because of this broken thing. Now that the magic circle was finally loosened, he grabbed the scroll and bit it at the first time, and set a fire to burn it to ashes. left.

What about something that once started a war?Wasn't he trapped in this place for hundreds of years like him, and now, no one even remembers.

It's better to just destroy it.

Seraphim's heart was very big, and he was really taken aback by Lilith's real identity at first, but he figured it out as fast as he tore the scroll - so what about the puppet, it wasn't her that mattered back then wrong.

Besides, I am a dragon, even if Lilith is not a puppet, the two of them cannot be of the same race. In essence, there is not much difference.

As long as the person is still that person, everything else... that's it.

He still cares more about another question: "Then will you follow me or not?"

Lilith touched the silver dragon's scales, from the raised spine all the way to his tail dragging beside him.

... I don't know why, this paragraph is not very smooth orz

Anyway, the story is such a story, and this article will soon end...

After reading everyone’s opinions, I feel that some friends are quite right. The foundation of "Nursery Rhymes" has almost been explained, and writing more will only seem procrastinated (I always feel that it is already a bit too much now), or it should be written in it. It's better to finish when it's finished, and it will look a little weird to force other units into it.

Nursery rhymes are experimental articles. I want to try new styles and content. Anyway, I am very happy to write, and I hope everyone can enjoy reading...

I still need to improve a lot (loud sigh.jpg
