Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 30 30. Jay
Although Lilith's name is well-known throughout the continent, only the most important stories about her are passed down by word of mouth in the south.Such as how brave she was in that great battle and how powerful her mana was.

The north is where Lilith really lived. Later, she returned to the capital with King Ireia, accompanied him to become king, and personally put on the golden crown representing supreme power for him.

Later, she traveled to the northern cities from time to time, leaving many rumors and anecdotes.Because most of them are too exaggerated, they are not widely spread.

The bard laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've sung a song about Lilith. I'll pick a favorite and sing it to you."

There was a burst of applause from the crowd, then silence.Everyone tried to reduce the frequency of breathing and concentrate on listening to the sound of the mandolin.

The narrative poem is called "The Jay".

Once upon a time, there was a wealthy little landowner who had two sons.He pampered his eldest son too much, but was very strict with his younger son, and often beat and scolded him for no reason.

The eldest son grew up in such an environment and became arrogant and domineering.Because he knew in his heart that sooner or later the family property would belong to him alone.The youngest son has become cautious and introverted.

The youngest son, Pausanias, seldom speaks at ordinary times. He is ingenious and handy, and he is good at carpentry.His favorite subject is the jay, his favorite bird.Every day, he carefully traces the appearance of jays with a carving knife, and then picks up paint to color them little by little.

The red-brown head and face, the white feathers covering the tail, and the most important thing is the blue pearl spot on the wings. He will express it with lacquer mixed with pearl powder, so that the wood-carved jay feathers will appear charming in the sun of gloss.

He carves under the big tree outside the city every day, and puts it gently on the tree branch after carving.From a distance, the jays of different shapes seem to be alive.

One night, Lilith passed the big tree.She was so delighted to see these carvings that she spoke a spell and brought all the jays to life.

Pausenias was awakened by the crowing of jays that day. He opened the window and saw those wooden jays.Although the body is still wooden, it is very flexible.He was very surprised, and what was even more surprising was that these jays were very close to him, as if seeing their master, they surrounded him affectionately.

His father was very angry, because these jays were too noisy, and they were obviously wood, but they had a big appetite, and they would eat the feed equivalent to ten chickens in one meal.He asked Pausanias to sell the jays, and many merchants have offered good prices out of curiosity.

Pausanias was naturally unwilling. For the first time in his life, he had a fierce dispute with his father, and finally left home with the jays crying.

He built a temporary shelter under a big tree.Jays are very sensible, fly to the woods every morning to find food by themselves, and fly back in the evening.And Pausanias began to try to make some practical wooden utensils, and then sold them in exchange for meal money.

One night, he had a strange dream.I dreamed that there was a magnificent castle on the top of the distant holy mountain.There is a bottomless moat in front of the castle, and every wall is covered with sharp knives.And at the highest point of the castle, stood a girl who was glowing all over her body.

The next day, he asked the magician in the city to interpret his dream for him.But none of the sorcerers could answer him.

So Pausanias said to his jay: "My dear birds, will you explain this dream to me?"

The jays began to chirp happily, and then flew in a circle.They were to lead the way for Pausanias.

Pausanias wove a large, tight net, and sat himself in the center of it.The jays grabbed the edge of the net from all sides, flapped their wings together, and took him up into the air.

This flight lasted for a long time, and finally arrived at the capital of the northern border.

After landing, Pausanias did not see the castle in his dream, and more importantly, it was thousands of miles away from the holy mountain.He questioned an old woman with doubts, and described the girl's appearance.

The old woman looked very surprised and said, "You're talking about Lilith!"

Lilith?That witch who lives in the royal city?Pausanias couldn't believe it.

"Don't be stupid, anyone who falls in love with Lilith will end badly. But anyone who has this idea, King Yirea will immediately chop off his head. I advise you not to die in vain."

Pausanias seemed very stubborn at the moment.He made it clear that he had no extravagant thoughts, he just wanted to see Lilith, nothing else.

Seeing his persistence, the old woman had no choice but to point out the way for him.

Pausanias said to the jays: "You lift me up again with your nets, and fly over the walls of the royal castle, and take me to Lilith's window. I just have to look at her quietly. After reading We'll go home right away."

The jays followed his instructions, but when they flew over the seventh wall, they were spotted by the guards.

The impenetrable sword rain shot him down.

Pausanias died, crashing to the castle grounds.Not far from him was the window of Lilith's room.

Lilith saw all this and walked to the young man's body.

She saw the jays, now that they had returned to their carved wood.When the master dies, they also lose their lives.

Lilith looked at the corpse.

She shed a tear.

Tears fell on Pausanias.

A miracle happened, and Pausanias slowly opened his glasses.

He is resurrected.He looked at Lilith in front of him, the glowing witch.

Suddenly, there was movement on the jay.They turned into gold.The golden jay jumped up, flapped its wings again, circled Pausanias, and sang.

Finally, Pausanias was sent home by the golden jay and lived a happy life.

The strings of the mandolin stopped, and the bard saluted slightly.The crowd began to burst into applause again, wave after wave.

"End?"

Emma asked in surprise while applauding.It's not just that the meaning is still unfinished, there is also a trace of confusion.

"Of course it's over, miss. What else can I do?"

"Pausenias, and Lilith, just met this side?"

"Isn't it enough to see the side of the greatest witch?"

"Didn't they develop some... romantic feelings?"

"Oh my god, what are you talking about! Lilith belongs to King Ireia! It's a great blessing for the young man to save his life, not to mention bringing back so much gold!"

Others in the crowd couldn't bear to listen, and began to scramble to respond to Emma.

"King Ireya already has his own queen. And Lilith didn't stay with him in the end, did she?"

Emma persistently argued that it was the first time she had heard such a humane story about Lilith.In the stories I heard before, she was so sacred and inviolable, like an emotionless... God.In this story, she not only showed love for the wooden jay like a young girl, but even shed a tear for the young man she had never met.

"Miss, don't be stubborn. As I said at the beginning, if you want to hear a romantic love story, my inventory here is endless!"

The bard spread his hands and said.

Emma was taken aback, then smiled and said, "No, thank you very much. I've heard enough today."

Then she took three tin coins from her purse again and put them lightly in the hood on the ground.Pull up Hayward and turn away.

　By the way, the basic setting is that one tin coin = RMB20, one silver coin = RMB600, and one gold coin = RMB7200.
