Beauty and the Python

48.

Elaine didn't expect Dylan to come to him first.

He sat by the window that morning and read the newspaper, which Corinne and Mrs. Connie bought from Styx when they went to the market. The newspapers in this city are very interesting. A title, "Peppermint Flavor" is written in the lower right corner, and a line of small words is also annotated below: Monday, a day destined to be unhappy.But it is precisely because this day is so unpleasant that today's newspaper has a mint flavor, which is used to refresh everyone who is indulging in the weekend.

Elaine held the newspaper up her nose and sniffed it. A fresh and cool smell was refreshing—it was mint indeed.

In addition, this newspaper does not seem to have any magical features compared to the usual ones, black and white, soft paper, and a faint smell of ink.The news on it were nothing more than new inventions in the circus, new performances in the circus, new gems polished in the dwarves' jewelry shop... He also saw that Edgar had a constellation column, this one was about Capricornus, Not his zodiac sign.There are many other trivial matters. Mrs. Betty in the bookstore specially published and asked a giant named Joseph to return her "The Little Wife of the Domineering Blood Family". Jack, who lives in Landon Road, complained about the succubus girls upstairs. Dancing in high heels in the middle of the night...

Elaine put down the newspaper and thought about it. When she picked it up again, she traced a triangle on it with her finger, and said in a low voice, "I solemnly swear that I will never gossip."

——that's what Corian taught him.

As soon as the words fell, the words on the newspaper began to move!

Small black dots jumped up and down spontaneously like ants, and they surrounded Elaine's hand in a daze, and the characters arched around his fingertips, as if he was blocking their way.Elaine quickly moved her hand away, and the vacant space was quickly filled by those small black spots. They stood firm in their positions, and then looked around, like a primary school student confirming his deskmate, staying After confirming that it was correct, he finally remained motionless.

In a blink of an eye, a brand new newspaper appeared in front of his eyes.

"The list of top ten beauties in mainland China?" Elaine looked over carefully, her eyes lit up instantly, and she thought this was interesting.

The list does not distinguish between races, but only two lists of men and women, and corresponding images of each person are attached. Those images are exquisite and delicate. In addition to vividly depicting the person, the clothing and materials are also quite textured, which makes people wonder. I have to reach out and rub it.

The first place on the female list is undoubtedly the elf in the Moonlight Forest, an elf princess named Gloria, she has long, fine and curly golden hair, and a thin veil on her head. The lace edge of the gauze envelops half of her face slightly like petals, and bright stars are outlined with gold and silver threads on the gauze surface, flashing gorgeous brilliance—and her eyes are even bigger than This light is even more amazing.

Only the elves have such beautiful eyes.Elaine sighed.

The elf princess suddenly raised her head and blinked at him.

Elaine was startled, and stared straight at the person in the image with wide eyes. The elf princess stood still under his eyes. Just when he wondered if he was delusional, the elf princess raised her face again. tulle, pursing his lips and smiling at him.

Elaine watched it for a long time, and gradually came to her senses—this was probably a kind of magic.

He also found that the text on this page was still changing.

For example, under the image of the elf princess, what he saw at first was as follows——

"Goddess Gloria!!!"

"I beg Princess Gloria to quickly recruit a relative, the elf's lifespan is so long, I can't wait for her to become an adult!"

"I haven't drawn Gloria's card yet, so I can only lick the newspaper."

"Today's newspaper is mint. It's too refreshing, and it's easy to wake up from fantasy. I still like the strawberry flavor. It's very similar to the dreamy love between Gloria and me."

And these handwritings are not like prints, but various handwritings.

He looked at it in a daze, and then saw that the words disappeared as if they had melted into the paper, and gradually disappeared, and new words appeared on it.

"Princess Gloria's appearance and temperament are probably only worthy of the legendary Holy Son..."

"Although Gloria's attack power is mediocre, her beauty is at the top of the list! Of course, this kind of card that is not easy to use but is responsible for her beauty is used to cheat money. I don't know how many coins I invested for her bankrupt..."

"Holy Son and Gloria, this kind of incongruous match is blinding - Holy Light shines."

……

Looking at it like this, Elaine vaguely guessed that these handwritings were comments and conversations made by newspaper readers, although she didn't know how they did it.Anyway——probably omnipotent magic again.

The elves alone accounted for half of the list, and they were the most beautiful race on the mainland.

Among them, the most notable ones were the dark elves. Elaine remembered that this group lived in the dark underground world, and they were sworn enemies with the elves in the Moonlight Forest.Her name is Elsa, she has a chocolate-like sexy complexion, her snow-colored long hair is tied into a capable ponytail behind her head, she is wearing a close-fitting hunter outfit, and she has a quiver on her back. The mountain wind rolled up her long hair and clothes, making her taller and taller.

Although the elf princess's beauty is amazing, Elaine finds herself more attracted to the dark elf - she reminds him of his sister.

Elsa in the picture narrowed her eyes, let go of her hand suddenly, and the arrow shot straight over, and the sharp arrow instantly occupied the whole picture.

Elaine subconsciously stepped back.

Well... this elf seems to be much scarier than Catherine.

"Ahhh Elsa!!! This arrow is like Cupid's arrow, covering my heart."

"Heipi Dafa is good!"

"She's handsome and beautiful! It fits all my aesthetics."

"One question, are all black skins so good?"

"Tsk, I don't know why so many people like a dark elf."

"...Elsa is a dark elf. After she became the female general of the dark elves, she did eliminate a lot of killings and conflicts."

"Didn't she kill fewer people and elves when she was Cassandra's lackey?"

"I like elves, so I hate underground dark elves the most."

……

Elaine thought: It seems that the grievances between the elves and the dark elves are very complicated.

In addition, the patriarch of the succubus, the master craftsman of the dwarves, and the witch who was burned to death a hundred years ago...

Elaine also saw herself.

It seems that Styx's gossip newspapers don't know the fact that he is a man. Elaine suddenly feels a little proud when she thinks of this.

In the portrait, he wears a cloak of the same color over a white skirt, riding a unicorn through the dark forest alone.

Elaine felt a little puzzled: he had ridden on a unicorn, but...it seemed a little different.

What surprised him was that most of these people seemed to know him.

"His Royal Highness Elaine!!! I love her forever—"

"Don't think I don't know that you only knew her recently."

"Well, it was a fateful encounter. In Andre's Magic Workshop, her cat ears are really... Madam is so cute."

"It is suggested that the artist can paint the portrait as His Highness Elaine in men's clothing with cat ears."

"No, I want cat ears, but I also want women's clothes."

"So is Elaine a boy or a girl?"

"It must be...a boy who is so cute."

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's best to wear a small skirt!"

... Elaine actually blushed facing a newspaper.

※※※※※

Holy Son - None.

That's really weird, Elaine thought.

The first place on the male list is "Holy Son", nameless, no surname, unknown birth, unknown age, unknown appearance, the image is just a statue covered in tulle.

This statue allowed Elaine to confirm that this holy son was the one who was enshrined in the church with the God of Light, the legendary son of the God of Light.

Readers also seem to have become cautious about the Son's comments.

"Although I haven't seen the Holy Son, it doesn't prevent him from being the embodiment of beauty in my mind. If you rank the overall list, the Holy Son is undoubtedly the first."

"It is said in "The Story of Enoch" that the Holy Son is from this world... No, he is not from this world, but when he came to this world, he is the most beautiful person in this world."

"The shepherd boy saw his face and forgot to herd the sheep, causing the sheep to get lost. The Holy Son gave him his own sheep. Later, the shepherd boy couldn't recall his face anyway."

"Because his beauty is beyond any existing concepts and categories in this world, the shepherd boy doesn't know how to recall that face after seeing it."

"Okay, okay, I already know how beautiful the Holy Son is, don't talk about it, no matter how much you say, I don't have a Holy Son..."

"Holy Son, you are the card I want to draw the most!"

"So, has anyone drawn the Son now?"

"No."

"No."

"no."

……

The amount of information this time is a bit large, and Elaine put down the newspaper and thought: Could it be...the Son of God in the myth once really came to this world?

—he always thought it was just a fairy tale.

There is also a dragon named "Chris" who is quite special. The identity of the dragon is so noble and unique. Elaine also got the information that this dragon is now in the city of Styx from the comments of those people!He couldn't help closing his palms excitedly, and when he thought that he was in the same place as the legendary dragon clan, his whole body became excited.

There was another acquaintance on the list—the man from upstairs.

Elaine opened her eyes and looked carefully.

Dylan is also as vague as the Son's message.

His name was just D, and the image was a boa constrictor, which was very similar to his real body, with a pitch-black snake body and faintly dark red scales.

Dylan's comments seemed to come more cautiously.

"Um……"

"Uh……"

"Well……"

"To be honest, this guy used to look like Voldemort in my mind."

"Me too!"

"But I was on the street the other day... right on the street, can you imagine? I saw him! His face!!!"

"I heard from my mother when I went home that the last time he showed his face in the city was 100 years ago."

"Although I understand the truth, but... ah, he is so handsome!"

"Beside him... is Princess Elaine from the list next door, right?"

"These two people walking together are too lethal."

"Didn't you see that the magic stick came over later, and the combined lethality of the three people... I can't do it anymore. Yes, although the magic stick is not on the list, I am also a fan of the magic stick."

"Wait, wait, plus Chris, there are already three people on the list in our city, right?"

"I really want to see the picture of Mr. Long joining in and walking together."

"From now on, people on the mainland, please don't call us the City of the Styx, but call us the City of Beauty!"

"Don't you think the princess and the duke... are quite a match?"

"You don't need to tell me that I'm already cute."

"Stop it! The princess and that... that one is not worthy at all, Her Royal Highness is mine!"

"Please bring your face, pay attention, it is a face that is more beautiful than that adult, and then go to him and fight for the princess with him."

"Isn't this an Eastern proverb, don't fight but (with your face) surrender to the enemy's soldiers?"

……

Elaine felt that she still didn't need to read on.

He flipped through the newspaper, but he didn't expect to see a bigger headline on the other side - "Surprise! Old snake eats young grass, a wonderful date between an older single otaku and a young girl!"

At this time, he heard a slight knocking sound, and a familiar voice called: "Elaine."

It's Dylan's voice!

Elaine hurriedly stuffed the newspaper under the bed.

He looked around but didn't see the person speaking, "Dylan?"

The voice answered, "It's me."

"Where are you?"

"Outside the window."

Elaine leaned out and opened the window, "Come in."

A little snake crawled in along the window lattice.

Elaine closed the window and turned to look at him. The little snake lay quietly on the wool carpet. After a while, Elaine wondered if he was asleep and wanted to poke him, but Dylan suddenly opened Mouth: "You've been sighing a lot lately, what happened?"

Elaine was stunned, "No, nothing." He quickly thought of another point, "However, how did you know?"

Dylan said, "I heard you."

Elaine wondered: Snakes have such good hearing?

He suddenly asked another question: "Do you like Qiangwei?"

Elaine nodded. Apart from Catherine, one of the things he missed most was the rose from Gustav's family.

"So... There is a rose flower in the backyard, let Theodore take you there."

As Dylan said, he was about to swim out while circling.

Elaine quickly blocked the window, "Wait."

Dylan stopped where he was.

Elaine leaned over her knees to look at him, "You came here to tell me this?"

The little snake nodded his head.

Elusively, Elaine slowly reached out to him.

Dylan glanced at him, but didn't move.

His hand fell on his little head, and stroked it gently.

"Let's go together." He smiled and sent him an invitation that no one could refuse.

49.

Later, Elaine made a special trip to Styx City to buy newspapers in person, and got the information she wanted.

As long as you order a newspaper, you can have the visible ink specially provided by the Mistletoe Newspaper, and you can communicate with other people on a specific section of the newspaper.

And, as long as you go to any magic workshop in the city, throw coins into a "magic box", and the magic box will randomly spit out character cards-this is the so-called "drawing cards".

So Elaine used two copper coins and drew two cards from the magic box, one of the Holy Son and one of the Duke of D.

At that time, the whole magic house was a sensation!
