Chapter 345 Shadow World

According to legend, there are 12 Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur.

The most famous of them are Lancelot and Gawain. In many rumors, the term Prince Charming was originally used to describe Knight Gawain.

Among the many circulating stories, one of them mentioned that Gao Wen had to marry an ugly witch in order to complete a mission.

The married witch told Gawain that due to her curse, she would have two different forms during the day and at night.

Gawain can choose to let the witch become a beautiful princess during the day, so that he can enjoy the praise and envy of the people around him.

But then when night falls, Gawain will face an ugly witch.

Conversely, Gawain could also choose to let the witch represent her ugly appearance during the day, although it would attract some ridicule.

But when the sun goes down, the ugly witch will turn into a charming fairy, and she will share the love of fish and water with Gawain.

Faced with two choices, the noble Gao Wen left the final choice in the hands of the witch.

"Your body belongs to you, and you should choose your own way of life."

Gawain's answer broke the witch's curse, and the witch returned to her original appearance, becoming a beautiful woman and living happily with Gawain.

Of course, this is just a small story circulating on the European continent, but when he saw the image of the mountain girl, Roger suddenly remembered this story.

If this is true, then Gawain may have met a mountain girl.

"You fulfilled your oath, and it's my turn next."

Shan Nu looked at Roger, "Ask your question, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Okay." Roger nodded.

"I hope to learn about the Shadow Gate."

"You found a door of shadows?"

Shan Nu looked at Roger strangely, "You opened this door?"

Roger nodded.

"Since you have opened the door, this question,

You shouldn't have come to ask me, because by the trail behind you should have learned the truth there. "

"Shadow Path, what is that?"

"Strange, you don't even know."

"Okay, let's start from the beginning."

"Our world is diverse. In addition to the strange and unknowable cursed place, there are many strange places in this world."

"Shadow World is one of them."

While talking, Shan Nu lit a candle by the window.

The candles flickered, illuminating the faces of the two, and leaving their shadows on the wall.

Roger turned sideways and looked up into the room. On the wall, the shadows of the two overlapped.

Seeing this scene, he seemed to understand something.

"In the real world, different substances have their own inherent forms and characteristics. Even if the form is transformed, different substances can be fused together."

"But the whole process is also fickle and dangerous."

"That's exactly what the alchemists have been doing."

"By chance, someone discovered the shadow world. In that weird world, although all matter seems to retain its original characteristics, in the final analysis they are just shadows."

Shan Nu looked back.

"And shadows can overlap."

"This kind of crazy experiment once gave birth to a large number of terrifying monsters. Gradually, people realized this danger, the shadow world was completely sealed, and no one could find the entrance to it."

Roger heard some information hidden in Shan Nu's words.

"You mean the original alchemy was derived backwards from the fusion of shadows in the shadow world?"

"Almost, it wasn't until later that people summed up their own experience."

"This crazy practice almost destroyed our world, and many powerful hybrid beasts were created during that period."

Shan Nu looked at Roger, thought about it, and said, "Whether the warlock is the so-called bloodline hunter in the Knights of the Round Table, haven't you thought about where these original bloodlines came from?"

"Is it a cross between humans and monsters?"

Roger's eyes widened abruptly. If what Shan Nu said was true, then this news would be too exciting.

"That world was ruined, not just the entrance. It's been too many years, and no one knows what happened in the first place."

"That's why I felt a little strange when I heard you say that you found a door of shadows."

"According to your account, if I guessed correctly, what you found should be just an abandoned shadow door."

"It's like a house. Pushing open a door and entering a new area. Now the world behind the door does not exist. Even if the door is opened, the difference between the two worlds is not big for you."

"You don't have to worry."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief just now. Suddenly, a head suddenly came over from the side. It was a face exactly like the woman in front of him.

"Did you forget something?"

"Although the world behind the door has been destroyed and the shadow world no longer exists, some functions of the shadow door can still be used."

Roger looked at the woman who came out from behind, and remembered the face on the back of the mountain girl.

"What function?"

he asked suspiciously.

"It's a kind of teleportation ability."

Shan Nu replied, "When the shadows overlap, a part of each other will exchange with each other. This exchange will not affect the nature of the two parties, but it can be used as a guide."

"Through special means, this kind of guidance can cross the space barrier and reach another area with the Shadow Gate."

"But you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Time has passed for too long, and the number of shadow gates remaining in this world is absolutely limited, and the possibility of information exchange among them is extremely low."

"The area behind the gate of shadows that you have now will at best allow you to do some innocuous little experiments that won't have much impact on reality."

"so……"

Roger shrugged.

"Am I just pretending that nothing happened?"

I always feel that this approach is a bit too childish.

After listening to Roger's words, the two faces pondered for a while, looked at each other and nodded together.

"Yes."

Through the crack in the window, Roger looked at Henrik lying beside the bed.

Roger thought it was one, but in reality there were two. No wonder Henrik was so tired.

Following Roger's gaze, Shan Nu showed a satisfied smile.

"Your friend is very interesting, if it weren't for the bloodline, I even thought he was a member of the inhuman race."

"I like him very much, and he is also very good." Shan Nu thought about it, "Since this is the case, then I decided to give you an additional question."

Roger blinked.

"Buy 1 get 1 free?"

"Uh... No, this guy Henrik kills two birds with one stone..."

"Seize this opportunity, don't wait until it expires." Shan Nu showed a smile.

Roger thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me where I can find the manuscript of the fairy tale world?"
