"Oh, you're the Queen, so we'll have to check it out."
One person said.Another continued: "Her Majesty shouts long live for the Queen of the Asylum," and many people began to heckle him.The witch's face flushed and she bowed slightly.At this moment, the cheers were immediately replaced by laughter, and she realized that she had been teased, and saw that her face sank, and she changed her left hand to hold the knife, and in an instant, she did a terrible thing.She stretched out her right hand and easily twisted an iron bar off the lamppost, as if she were doing the most ordinary thing in the world.Some of her magic is gone in our world, but her strength has not diminished in the slightest, and she can break an iron rod as easily as she breaks maltose.Then, she tossed her new weapon into the air and caught it again, swinging it to move the horse forward."
Here's your chance."
Digray thought.He immediately came between the horse and the fence, and then continued to run forward, waiting for an opportunity to approach the witch.As soon as the horse stopped, he was able to grab the witch's ankle.Just as he was about to rush forward, he heard a loud knock.It turned out that the witch had struck the policeman's helmet with an iron rod, and everyone watched as the policeman fell to the ground crookedly."
Digre, quick, stop her," said a familiar voice behind her.It's Polly.As soon as the allotted time came, she immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out into the street."
Okay, hold me hard.You're in charge of the yellow ring, remember, you'll wear it as soon as I shout," Dugray said.There was another knock, and another policeman fell.Angry roars began to erupt from the crowd: "Pull this demon off horseback, hit it with paving stones, and go and inform the army." ”However, almost no one rushed forward, and most were trying to hide as far back as possible.The coachman, apparently the bravest and kindest of all the people present, dodged left and right to avoid the iron rod, and tried to hold the horse by the head as close as he could.A stone whizzed over Digre's head, followed by shouts from the crowd.At this moment, the witch's bell-like voice rang, and the voice sounded quite proud: "Bah, once I rule your world, your city will pay a terrible price for today's actions, and when the time comes, not a single stone will be left and I will destroy you here like I destroyed Charn, Felinda, Sorois, and Bramandin" At this time, Digray finally grabbed her ankle, but the witch kicked back, just in the mouth of Digray, kicking his lips and making his mouth full of blood, He was so painful that he had to let go of his hand.Near him, Uncle Andrew could be heard in a sharp, trembling voice, "For God's sake, Madame, my dear young lady, please be quiet." ”Later, Digray grabbed her heel again, but was thrown away.And by this time more people had fallen under her iron rod.Digray rushed up for the third time, grabbed the witch's heel firmly, and shouted at Polly, "Go away" Oh, thank God.At this point, the angry, frightened faces and voices were all gone.In the darkness, Degree could only hear Uncle Andrew muttering nearby: "Alas, am I in a coma, I can't accept this ending, it's not fair, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all my godmother's fault."
I had to resist, I never wanted to be a magician, and my body was terrible.Ah, the old Dorsetshire family. ”"It's annoying," thought Diggray, "we didn't want to bring him in at all, but ah, I was relieved."
Polly, are you there?"
"Don't push me, I'm here." ”"I didn't push you."
Before Diggray could finish speaking, they returned to the warm, sunny green forest.As soon as Polly came out of the waterhole, she shouted, "Behold we have brought Mr.
Kateley, the coachman, and the old horse."
What a mess this is," the witch turned pale when she saw that she was back in the woods, and she slowly bent down and pressed her face to the horse's mane.It can be seen that she is very uncomfortable at this time.Uncle Andrew's current body is also trembling.But the horse, named "Strawberry", shook his head and neighed happily, as if he was feeling better.It was the first time Diggray had seen it so quiet, and the ears that had been attached to its head were now back to their normal positions, and their eyes were now focused."
Alright, my good friend, that's it, don't be nervous."
The coachman said, patting Strawberry on the neck."
Strawberry" made a natural move, and it slowly walked to the nearest waterhole to drink, because it was too thirsty, which was normal.At this time, Digray grabbed the witch's heel with one hand and Polly's hand with the other.The coachman put one hand on "Strawberry", and the other hand was held tightly by Uncle Andrew, who was still trembling.Polly glanced at Diggray and shouted, "Green Ring," and before the horses could drink the water, they fell into the darkness again."
Strawberry" hissed, Uncle Andrew sobbed, and Digray said, "Luck is not bad." ”"Haven't we arrived yet?"
asked Polly after a moment."
We seem to be somewhere, at least I'm standing on something sturdy."
Diggray said."
Just like I thought.But why is it so dark, do you think we're in the wrong pool," Polly said."
Maybe we're here in the night."
Diggray said."
It's not Charn here.It's a world of nothingness, with nothing. ”The witch said.It's a rare world of nothingness.There was not a single star in the sky, it was pitch black, no one could see anyone, and the eyes were the same when they were opened and closed.The flat and cool thing they stepped on must not be grass or wood, but more like dirt.The air is dry and cold, and there is not a hint of wind."
My end has come."
There was a terrible calm in the witch's voice."
Oh, don't say that, dear young lady, please don't say that.It's not as bad as you think.Ah, my good Samaritan, coachman, do you have any wine on you, I need to take a sip of the spirits now. ”Uncle Andrew began to chatter."
Hey, please calm down.If no one breaks the bone, that's good.We should be glad that we fell like this, and now this result is better than anyone could have imagined.Think about it, if we fall into a room on a new platform in the subway right now, we guess someone will get us out soon, but I don't deny that we might die, and if we die, you have to understand that sometimes something worse happens at sea, someone will die.If a person has ever lived with dignity, then he has nothing to fear.If you ask me what I should do now, I think the best thing to do is to sing a hymn to pass the time. ”The coachman had a good voice, and he said to everyone in a firm tone.So he sang a hymn of thanksgiving at harvest time, about the crops being "perfectly packed into the granary."
However, it always felt inappropriate to sing it in a place where nothing seemed to have ever grown, but it was the song he remembered best.His beautiful voice made the children sing along, and the atmosphere immediately became pleasant.But Uncle Andrew and the witch didn't join.Towards the end of the hymn, Diggray felt that someone was tugging at his arm, which he thought must be Uncle Andrew, as evidenced by the smell of brandy and cigars and the fancy clothes.Uncle Andrew quietly pulled him to the side, and after keeping a certain distance from the others, he put his mouth to Degree's ear and whispered, "Let's go, put the ring on, my child." ”"Fool, have you forgotten that I can hear everyone's thoughts, and if you dare to play tricks, I will punish you in a way that has never been heard of in any world.Let that child go for me," the witch's voice floated over, and indeed, her ears were very sharp."
And if you think I'm the kind of vile person who can leave Polly, the coachman, and the horse here alone, you're wrong."
Digray added."
You rude, naughty child," said Uncle Andrew."
ShhhhhhhhhhSo everyone was quiet and listened.Finally there was a voice in the silence of darkness.A voice began to sing in the distance.Dugray couldn't figure out which direction it was in.Sometimes it seems to be floating from all directions at the same time, and sometimes it seems to be right under their feet.The voice was as low as if it came from the earth.Although there are no lyrics and no melody, it is the most beautiful sound Dugray has ever heard.The sound was so beautiful that it intoxicated him.The horse seemed to like it too, and neighed quietly, as if after a long time of pulling a cart, he returned to his hometown where he had been happily playing as a child, and saw the familiar and beloved walking through the fields and walking towards it with sugar cubes."
Oh my God, it's so good," said the coachman.At this time, two miraculous phenomena occurred at the same time.First of all, there were countless cold, trembling, silver-bell-like voices that suddenly blended into that sound, and blended together perfectly, and the volume was much louder than the original.The second is that the originally dark sky has become star-studded.Instead of the stars creeping up one by one on a summer night, thousands of stars, planets, and asterisms suddenly appear in the dark night sky, and those stars are bigger and brighter than the stars we see in the world.Stars and new voices also appear at the same time.However, there is not a single cloud in the sky.If you could see and hear it with your own eyes like Diggray, you would have thought that the stars themselves were singing, that the deep voice called them out and made them sing."
How wonderful," said the coachman, "if I had known that there were such good things in the world, I would have been a better man in my life." ”The earthly voices became louder and more joyful, but the heavenly voices gradually faded away after singing for a while with the earthly voices.At this point, another thing happened.In the distance, the sky near the horizon began to slowly turn gray.A fresh breeze came, and the colors of some parts of the sky became darker and darker, gradually revealing the black outlines of the mountains.And the singing voice kept echoing.It didn't take long for the sky to be bright enough for them to see each other's faces.The two children and the coachman had their eyes lit up, their mouths open, and they were immersed in the beautiful sound that seemed to remind them of something.Uncle Andrew's mouth was wide open as if his jaw had dropped, but he wasn't happy, he was hunched over and his knees were shaking.He hated the sound and longed to find a rat hole to get into.The witch hated it too, her lips were closed and her hands were clenched into fists.She seemed to understand the voice better than anyone else.Because when she first started singing, she felt that there was a magic in this world that was different from her but much stronger than her.In order to stop that voice, she would rather tear this world and all other worlds apart.However, the horses standing there poked their ears out and twitched constantly, occasionally tapping their hooves on the ground or making a few snouts.It no longer looks like a tired old cart puller, and you can now be completely sure that its father was once a valiant war horse.The eastern sky gradually turns from white to pink, and from pink to gold.At this time, the volume of the voice kept getting louder, so loud that even the air vibrated with it.However, just when the sound reached its loudest and most beautiful, everyone saw the sun rising.Dugray had never seen a sun like this.Our sun looks younger than the sun above the ruins of Charn, but this sun appears younger than ours.You can imagine it rising in high spirits.When the sun was shining on the earth, they finally saw that where they stood was a valley, through which a gentle river flowed towards the sun and towards the east.To the south of the river is a high mountain, and to the north is a gently undulating mountainous terrain.There were no trees or shrubs, not even a blade of grass, only stones, soil and water.But the earth is colorful, and it's so fresh, so warm, so radiant, it's exciting.However, when you see the singer with your own eyes, none of this matters.About three hundred meters away from them, a huge lion with thick hair and vigorous hair was facing the sun, standing majestically and singing, with its mouth wide open."
This world is terrible, and we must get out of here at once," said the witch."
I couldn't agree more, ma'am.It's such a nasty place, it's so barbaric.If only I had been younger and have a gun," said Uncle Andrew."
You can't hit it with a gun," said the coachman."
Who's going to hit it," Polly asked."
Fool, get ready to cast magic."
Jandis said."
Of course, ma'am, I'll have to let the two children hold me first.Put the ring back on now, Digray. ”Uncle Andrew treacherously said that he wanted to get rid of the witch."
Oh, it's a ring, isn't it," Jantis cried out and turned from her horse.In the blink of an eye, her hand was about to reach into Dugray's pocket, but at this moment Digray grabbed Polly and shouted, "Pay attention to me, if you dare to take half a step this way, I will keep you all here forever, and only the two of us will go back."
That's right, I have a ring in my pocket that will take Polly and me home.Look, I can get it at any time.So, don't think about coming.I regret that you and he looked at the coachman and the horse, but there is nothing I can do about it.Also, you're both magicians, and he looks at Uncle Andrew and the witch, so you'll love living together. ”"Don't make any noise, I want to hear this music."
Said the coachman.At this moment, the singing voice has changed.t1706231537:
