Chapter 157 True Love Remains Bronze Heart

The canopy was shaken wildly, but Luo Binhan finally managed to maintain his balance.He sat on a branch and thought about the past, then lowered his head and asked Lan Que: "Are you taking revenge on me?"

"I'm not joking!" Lan Que emphasized his tone, "Intense and pure love can break the curse. There has been a successful precedent for this. It happened in... wait, you just said I was taking revenge on you? Why should I retaliate against you? Please explain this clearly first!"

Luo Binhan immediately chattered about him, until he managed to make Lan Que forget about the topic just now, then he asked nonchalantly: "So, someone really used love to break the curse before?"

"Oh, yes." Lan Que said, "That incident was later compiled into a famous story called "The Snow Queen". I heard that its real prototype is this: once there was a woman from the Tower of Iceweed. She was sent to recover a magic mirror. The mirror had an enchanting curse cast by some ancient law, which would make anyone who looked into it hard and ruthless. The wizard recovered the mirror from some pirates. The mirror, but it was shattered by mistake during the fight. The shards of the mirror were blown into the eyes of a boy passing by. The boy immediately changed his temperament and became a cruel and dangerous person... Oh, wait a minute ..."

It stopped talking suddenly, stared at Luo Binhan thoughtfully, and the red light in the two eye holes flickered violently.

"What do you see me doing?" Luo Binhan said.

"No, it's nothing. I just remembered some chores. You don't need to worry about it." Lan Que replied quickly.

Luo Binhan thought its attitude was a bit strange, but he didn't take it seriously.He continued to listen to the rest of Lan Que's story: the fragments of the magic mirror changed the boy's temperament, and the mage of the Tower of Iceweed couldn't undo the powerful curse from the ancient law, so he had to take the boy to the Tower of Iceweed for custody. Work with other mages to study healing methods.

She put the boy in a cell at the bottom of the tower, handed him a bunch of Confusing Popsicles, and then asked him to spell the word "eternity" with these popsicles, and she would let him go free.However, because of the confusion spell she cast, the boy would forget how to write whenever he touched a popsicle, and as a result he couldn't spell the correct word anyway.

So he forgot everything about the past, and he didn't want to escape to hurt others. He just tried to spell "eternity" in the ice prison like a puppet day after day.This stalemate lasted for five full years, until one day a girl climbed to the top of the cold cloud and found the Tower of Ice.She told the tower guard that she was the boy's childhood sweetheart, and she found out the boy's whereabouts after going through countless hardships, and begged the mages to let her take the boy away.

People cursed by the magic mirror are dangerous, so the wizards refused her request and only let them meet once.The girl went to the hole at the top of the dungeon, and called the boy's name to the bottom, begging him to be with her forever.She got no response and could only sit outside the cell and cry.Her tears flowed unceasingly for three days and three nights, and the mages feared that she would die of a broken heart.When the third night passed, the mage who had taken the boy finally went to the prison to forcefully drive the girl away.

The girl would rather die than leave.She hugged the icicles near the hole so tightly that her tears dripped from the hole into the cell, right into the boy's eyes.The fragments of the magic mirror were brought out by the tear, and the curse was immediately broken.The boy suddenly woke up from that cold and cruel mood, and wrote "Eternity" under the guidance of the girl.He threw away the popsicle, walked out of the cage, and returned to his hometown with the girl.

They were happy, the mages witnessed the miracle, and everyone was happy.Only the mage responsible for recovering the magic mirror was furious, because she finally found out that she had been rumored by several writers to be a cruel and cruel "Ice Queen" who abducted young men everywhere.

"...That caused a little riot and lawsuits." Lan Que said, "But this incident is still very sensational. For the first time, the mages of the White Tower discovered that such a powerful curse of the ancient law can be broken in a non-ceremonial way. They put forward a lot of theoretical assumptions for this, such as emotional unconsciousness casting, curse logic conditional loopholes, or just the fragments of the mirror just reached the limit life of its spells at that time. There is no final conclusion on this matter, but there is a The mage told me that's because true love itself is a powerful and ancient curse-breaking spell. It existed before the White Tower and the Camarilla, before mages realized the structure of ether and elements. It's a spell that can't be controlled, but it can't be verified by any means. No matter how carefully you design the test environment, you can't deliberately surface it-because it must be true love without impurities."

After it finished speaking, it pretended to look into the distance casually.The bright sun at noon shines on the treetops and fields, and the chirping of birds and cicadas sings a song of midsummer.Looking at Lan Que's white bones, Luo Binhan unconsciously fell into deep meditation.

"A mage told you this story, and you were very young," he said slowly. "Are you sure she wasn't kidding?"

The bones of the blue magpie suddenly became stiff.

"She's just teasing you." Luo Binhan asserted wisely, "Which adult would seriously explain scientific principles to children, it must be a fairy tale. You really believe it?"

"It's none of your business!" Lan Que screamed in his mind, "I'm a professional magic researcher!"

Luo Binhan shook his head, and calmly jumped from the top of the tree to the outside of the house.The soothing medicine given by Lan Que is still in his hand, and he intends to take it and try it on the wine red ponytail to see if it can make her mentally normal.

He was going to leave directly, but Lan Que floated over, looking hesitant to speak.

"What else do you want to say?" Luo Binhan asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask casually," Lan Que said while breaking his phalanx, "Do you have a better playmate? It's the kind that is very close, someone who used to get along with each other, and is willing to help you A person who sacrificed something? It's like a childhood sweetheart?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Well, I just feel like you'd better have one in advance," Lan Que said. "If you just need to use... I mean if you just need help, a childhood friend is always more reliable, right? From childhood There's more of a relationship that guarantees emotional purity—I mean the friendship is more authentic, so of course you should have someone as a childhood sweetheart! That's definitely a great proposition!"

It laughed a few times exaggeratedly, and then asked nervously: "So do you have any?"

"That probably counts as something."

"That's great! She's about your age? Hasn't gotten married yet? Has she got a date yet?"

"He's a man." Luo Binhan said calmly.

"Oh, oh...man." Lan Que paused and said, "I guess this will work too?"

Luo Binhan stared straight at his eyes, completely confused about what kind of nerve it was going on, so he could only regard it as a random convulsion of an academic researcher.He ignored it and jumped into the aircraft, telling Lan Que that he planned to give the soothing medicine made from the mud leaf fruit to the modern people on the other side to try.

"There won't be any side effects, right?" He confirmed to Lan Que.

Lan Que replied absent-mindedly, as if he didn't understand his question at all.Until Luo Binhan flew out of the valley and checked behind him with the ring camera outside the cabin, he still saw the fluttering shadow of the cloak floating in place, as if he was thinking hard about a certain problem.
