[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

"Do you know this kind of creature?" Edith asked Edmund vigilantly, still holding the long sword in her hand.

"From the perspective of adventure novels... it turns out that they are not just legends."

The elf named Goblin walked towards Edith's chest while sniffing its nose, "Hand over what's in your shirt pocket, kid!"

"I'm not a kid, money worshiper." Edith pointed the tip of the sword at the goblin's throat.

The elf didn't seem to be afraid, and suddenly made a quick detour and pounced towards Edith's pocket——

"Stop!" Edmund also drew out his dagger and rushed towards it.

Edith didn't expect the goblin to be so agile, and she didn't want to really hurt it. She was thrown by this thing, and before she could swing her sword, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"My baby!" The goblin's long claws touched the pure gold medal on her chest, quickly took it out, put it under his hooked nose, and sniffed greedily, "It's so delicious..."

Edith didn't expect that she would be "frivolous" by such a monster, and there was a nausea in her throat: "Uh...Disgusting!"

Edmund stood in front of her with a knife, still hesitating and not attacking, but only threatened: "Put this thing down and stay away from us!"

"No, no, no, I have no malicious intentions." The elf seemed to be a little easier to communicate with, comforted by the gold medal just now, "You don't need gold on this broken island, so give them all to me."

Its green claws unceremoniously touched King Justice's trouser pocket again, and Edmund grabbed his wrist with a strong sense of resistance: "If you want gold, you have to exchange it at an equal value; otherwise, it's called stealing, understand? "

The goblin's golden brass bell rolled its big eyes, and suddenly turned into a golden light spot, which slid into Edmund's trouser pocket——

"For Aslan'ssake!" The Justice King hurriedly went to cover his trouser pocket, but unfortunately he was not as quick as the Goblin, and let him suck a string of gold coins and fly into the sky and escape.

In the awkward loneliness, Edith concluded helplessly: "We were robbed by a guy less than one meter tall, whatashame."

After being disturbed by the magical creature, the two penniless paupers couldn't sleep.Edith added a piece of firewood to the fire, and asked the Justice King, who hadn't closed his eyes, "Still asleep?"

Edmund was lying on his side facing her, looking at the girl's clear and three-dimensional face through the orange flame: "I can't stop thinking." There was a rare softness in his voice, sounding like a confused adolescent.

"Will a ship come to rescue us, or should we slowly build a raft and find a way to visit other neighboring islands?"

Edith felt his scorching gaze, and she lowered her gaze to the ground to dodge: "My knife edge is sharpened, and I can go to the rock to sharpen it tomorrow, and then I can start cutting trees. The raft . . . cannot hold a single wave when it goes out to sea."

"But we can't sit here and wait for death." The young man looked away, feeling frustrated and lonely.

"If we die one day in—"

"Shut up, Edmund." Edith interrupted the other party's pessimistic assumptions, "You will definitely survive, the Narnia people are still waiting for you after 1300 years."

Edmund was a little impulsive just now.After the phrase "die here", there may be some dizzy confessions immediately.Fortunately, Edith stopped his chaotic thoughts in time and helped them calm down.

The cold wind blew across the border, and the young man suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Peter and Susan must be yelling at me at Cair Paravel," he scoffed at himself.

"Are you homesick?" Edith asked him, smiling.

"...don't you?"

In fact, Edith really didn't think much about Cair Paravel or the fishing village of Conil.Maybe it's because her best friends have all gone to sea together, or maybe she is born to like wild rafting, in short, she doesn't feel helpless, and she doesn't feel any sense of crisis that her life is coming to an end.

But she didn't say what she thought, just kept silent - after all, it sounded more like an inappropriate sarcastic remark.

"Tomorrow is a new beginning." She said quietly.

"I'll ask Peter to remake a gold medal for you...after I go back." The Justice King stretched his waist, and finally rolled over and fell asleep.

·

It has been bright for a long time.Edith kept watch until late last night, and was still sleeping soundly on the grass.

Edmund picked some fruits he had just met yesterday near the woods, and was lucky to find a few small birds' eggs.Although it is cruel to eat these little lives that have not yet broken their shells, he really can no longer bear the days without a trace of protein intake.

When she returned to the top of the mountain, Edith was rubbing her messy hair and getting up from the thorny grass. Her clothes were covered in mud, and her clean face was reddened by the nearby grass blades.

"That's right, the shape is a bit closer to that of a savage." Edmund commented as he walked over to help her pull out a dead grass buried in her hair.

Edith felt the young man's breath blowing over her eyelashes and the tip of her nose, forgetting to strike back in a timely manner.

"There is an extra meal today, guess what it is."

……

After eating the most sumptuous meal in two days, they continued to explore the coastline that they had not finished yesterday.Edith made a big "HELP" sign on the beach where it wouldn't be washed away by the high tide.Although the chances of being seen were slim, the remaining hopes in the two hearts rose a little after doing this.

In the evening, they came to a beach on the island that protruded slightly from the sea, facing the sea cliff of the neighboring island to the east.

"How far do you say it is from here to there?" King Justice asked with narrowed dark eyes.

"Five miles? I guess."

The two were thinking about the possibility of landing on a neighboring island with a raft and swimming, when a very moving singing sound suddenly came from the opposite sea cliff.

"Is there someone on the other side?!" The two looked at each other in surprise, and then noticed something unusual - the singer's voice was too ethereal and distant, definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise it would be impossible to be heard in such a distant place.

The singing became more and more melodious, sometimes the tune soared into the sky, thrilling like climbing a suspension cable in the air;

As she listened, the piercing sea water spread all over her body, waking Edith up suddenly—she found that she had already stepped into the sea, and her whole calf was submerged; buttocks.

She finally knew what the thing on the opposite side was—the Kraken.

·

"Edmund!" Knowing the fatality of the magic sound on the opposite side, Edith hurriedly covered her ears, tried her best to resist its erosion of the brain, and at the same time rushed towards the deeply obsessed young man in front of the raging tide.

"Cover your ears and come back!" Edith roared with the loudest voice in her life.If he couldn't pull Edmund out of the nightmare, he would, like all the legends, keep walking until his body/body was buried in the sea and his soul was devoured by the sea monster!

She finally rushed to King Justice's side half-running and half-swimming, and took his hands to help him plug his ears.

At this moment, King Justice was completely immersed in the mesmerizing sounds of the sea monster.He looked blankly at the yelling girl in front of him, and the enchanting and beautiful singing voice echoed in his ears.

He could see Edith's mouth open and close visually, but he couldn't hear her voice.

It wasn't until she held her hands that the real touch of body temperature and the feeling of green emotion pulled his consciousness back to the real world for a moment.

"Look at me, Edmund!" He finally heard what Edith said, "Close your ears, just listen to my singing, and don't worry about other things!"

A moment later, another unique and elegant singing sounded from the ocean.It is more real, not as light and veil-like as a soprano, but with a bit of mellowness and hoarseness. childhood...

The girl's eyes were fixed on him without the slightest dodge, honest and unreserved, which made him almost misread the burning love from it.

Her voice was steady and loud. At first, it was indistinguishable from the distant singing voice, but gradually gained the upper hand, becoming clearer and clearer, finally dispelling the mesmerizing voice of the charmer.

"I don't know where I'm going, but I know it's gonna be along time...Cause I'll be leaving in the morning with the white wine bitter sunshine..."

At that time, he didn't understand what the girl's libretto was; he only knew that the cool and calm voice was continuously squeezed into his closed eardrums like a stream, and together with her bright and sincere brown eyes, they firmly led him back to the coast .

After retreating to a position where she confirmed that she would not be disturbed, Edith put down her hands covering her ears, took the arm of the young man in front of her and tried to resist the charming singing, and led him to run wildly into the woods far away from the sea cliff.

"That thing just now...was a sea monster?!" Edmund stopped in the silent woods, his ears were finally cleared, and his thinking quickly returned to normal.

"We were almost drowned in the sea by her." Edith followed him and stopped, gasping for breath, forgetting to let go of the young man's right hand.

"This is basically a well-known legend, but no one has ever believed it to be true...I didn't expect it to be encountered by us." The Justice King maintained the posture of being held by her, and he was complacent, and even felt that he had just passed through the gate of hell. It's not too bad to take a trip.

"This little broken island really has all kinds of strange things." Edith finally noticed the ambiguous posture of the two, and suddenly pulled her arms out to cover up the embarrassment on her face, "——you are really interested in the singing of the siren Incompetent to resist! Tsk tsk tsk man's nature..." She pretended to be emotional.

Edmund stared at the girl who was close at hand in the dusk, and felt his chest was soft and tender, and couldn't help getting closer to her: "Can I take this sentence as jealousy?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he already regretted it.It's a pity that it's hard to get over the water, he can only watch Edith's face gradually darken.

The girl backed away a little without making a sound, not to be too vague: "I should have let you fall into the sea to feed the fish."

·

The third day on the deserted island seemed like a year to the two people who had their own concerns.

After yesterday's siren incident, Edmund couldn't figure out whether Edith was interested in him or not.Say yes, she is sometimes very cold; say no, it is difficult for him to explain why she sacrificed her life for herself several times like that-this is definitely beyond the scope of ordinary friends.

Edith's idea is relatively simple.King Justice's heart seemed to be captured by the song she sang in a hurry yesterday.But this is likely to be temporary-as long as they leave the closed environment of the lonely man and the widow, the relationship between them will return to normal.All she can do now is to hide as much as she can, clear all the dark history of yesterday from her memory, and continue to earnestly survive.

The two silently ate, felled, ate, felled... trying to block their cranky heads with shipbuilding work.

At about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Edith suddenly saw a ship approaching them in the distance.At this moment, she didn't care about embarrassment anymore, and shouted at King Justice, who was sawing wood next to her, "Someone found us!"

The author has something to say: My mother complained: This novel is a vulgar literature stall where the protagonists set flags one after another, and then the speed of light is really fragrant. Hahaha

Attachment: The Legend of the Sirens

Sirens are monsters with a bird head or a human head and a bird body in Greek mythology, or even mermaids. They often wander between reefs and isolated islands to confuse people. They are also called sea monsters.The sirens used their singing voice to distract the passing sailors, and the ship hit the rocks and sank.

The siren comes from the myths and folk tales of the ancient Aegean Sea region. She is shaped as a goblin with a bird's head and a human body. The sailors who attracted the sailing ship bewitched them, causing them to fall into the bloody maw of the mermaid.The Siren is the daughter of the river god Ecroueus, a beautiful goblin born from his blood.Because of losing the music competition with Muse, Muse pulled out its wings, making it unable to fly.After losing its wings, the siren had to swim near the coastlines of Asia Minor and the Balkan Peninsula. She sometimes turned into a mermaid.And some sirens evolved from the original terrifying sea monsters.It is also true that the sea area in that area has long been filled with the bones of the victims.

The most famous story about sirens in Greek mythology is the voyage of Odysseus.When the hero Odysseus led the fleet through the Strait of Messina, he knew in advance the deadly singing of the Sirens that mortals could not resist.Odysseus follows the advice of the goddess Kers.He took careful precautions against the Siren sisters.Before the ship sailed to the place where the singing could be heard, Odysseus had him tied to the mast, and ordered his sailors to plug their ears with wax.He also admonished them to ignore his commands and gestures as they passed through the Isle of Death.Soon Shidao came into their sight.Odysseus heard the enchanting singing.The singing was so mesmerizing that he struggled desperately to break free, and shouted to his followers to sail to the siren sisters who were singing in the flowery meadow, but he was ignored.The sailors steered the ship until at last the singing could no longer be heard.Only then did they untie Odysseus and remove the wax from their ears.This time the siren sirens sang for nothing.The oldest of the three sisters, Parselope, is deeply in love with Odysseus.When his ship passed by, she threw herself into the sea.

In addition, the Sirens are also mentioned in the legend of the Argonauts. The Argonauts were tempted by the Sirens when they crossed the sea. where the Siren lived, for he overwhelmed the siren's singing with his harp.
