Legend has it that King Arthur had a total of 12 Knights of the Round Table.

The most famous of these are Lancelot and Gawain, and the term Prince Charming was originally used to describe Gawain knights.

Among the many stories that have been circulated, one of them mentions that Gawain had to marry an ugly witch in order to fulfill a mission.

After getting married, the witch told Gawain that she was cursed and would take on two different forms, day and night.

Gawain could choose to make the witch a beautiful princess during the day, allowing him to enjoy the praise and envy of those around him.

But when night falls, Gawain will be confronted with an ugly witch.

Conversely, Gawain could also choose to have the witch appear as an ugly appearance during the day, albeit incurring some ridicule for this.

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

Faced with two choices, Gawain, who has a noble character, puts the final choice in the hands of the witch.

"The body belongs to you, and it's up to you to choose your lifestyle."

Gawain's answer breaks the witch's curse, and the witch reverts to her original appearance and becomes a beautiful woman living happily with Gawain.

Of course, this is just a small story that circulates on the European continent, but at this time, 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've fulfilled your vow, and it's my turn next."

The mountain girl looked at Roger, "Ask your question, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer." ”

"Okay." Roger nodded.

"I'd like to know about the Door of Shadows."

"You found a door to the shadows?"

The mountain girl looked at Roger with a strange expression, "You opened this door?" ”

Roger nodded.

"Since you've pushed open this door, you shouldn't have asked me about this question, because through the trail behind, you should have learned the truth there."

"Shadow Trail, what's that?"

"It's strange that you don't know."

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

"Our world is diverse, and there are many strange places in this world besides the weird and unknowable Cursed Lands."

"The world of shadows is one of them."

As she spoke, she lit a candle by the window.

The candle flame flickered, illuminating the faces of the two and leaving shadows on the wall.

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

Seeing this scene, he seemed to understand something.

"In the real world, different substances have their own inherent forms and characteristics, and even if the transformation of form occurs, different substances can be fused together."

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

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

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

The mountain girl glanced back.

"And shadows can overlap."

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

Roger heard some of the hidden messages in the mountain girl's words.

"You're saying that the original alchemy was reversed from the fusion of shadows in the shadow world?"

"Pretty much, it wasn't until later that people learned about their experience."

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

The Mountain Maiden looked at Roger, thought for a moment and then spoke: "Whether it's a warlock, or the so-called bloodline hunters in the Knights of the Round Table, haven't you thought about where these original bloodlines come from?" ”

"Is it a hybrid between a human and a monster?"

Roger's eyes widened, if what the mountain girl said was true, then this news was too exciting.

"That world was ruined, not just the entrance, it had been many, many years that no one knew what had happened."

"So I thought it was a little strange to hear you say that you found a door to shadows."

"Based on what you've told, if I'm not mistaken, all you found was an abandoned door of shadows."

"It's like 1 house, push open a door, enter a new area, and now the world behind the door doesn't exist, even if the door is opened, there is not much difference between the two worlds for you."

"You don't have to worry."

Roger had just breathed a sigh of relief, and a head suddenly poked out from the side, and 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 of the functions of the shadow door can still be used."

Roger looked at the woman who came out from behind him, and remembered the face that was carried on the back by the mountain girl.

"What function?"

He asked, confused.

"It's a teleportation ability."

The mountain girl replied, "When the shadows overlap, there will be a part of the exchange with each other, and this exchange will not affect the nature of both sides, but it can be used as a guide. ”

"Through special means, this guidance can cross the spatial barrier and reach another area with a portal of shadows."

"But you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, too much time has passed, and the number of shadow gates that remain in this world is absolutely only a handful, and the possibility of information exchange among them is extremely low."

"The area behind this shadow door that you have now will at best allow you to do harmless little experiments and won't have much impact on reality."

"So ......"

Roger shrugged.

"Do I just act like nothing happened?"

I always feel that this way of dealing with it is a bit too child's play.

Listening to Roger's words, the two faces groaned for a moment, 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 it was actually two, so it's no wonder that Henrik was tired like this.

Following Roger's gaze, the Mountain Maiden smiled with satisfaction.

"Your friend is funny, if it weren't for the bloodline, I would even think he was a member of the inhuman race."

"I like him a lot, and he's a great guy." The mountain girl thought about it for a moment, "In that case, then I decided to give you an extra question." ”

Roger blinked.

"Buy 1 get 1 free?"

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

"Seize this opportunity and don't wait for the expiration date." The mountain girl smiled.

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