Demon Hunter and His Hut - Chapter 349

Chapter 346: Shadow World

According to legend, there are 12 Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur.

The most famous among them are Lancelot and Gawain. In many rumors, the term Prince Charming was originally used to describe the Gawain knight.

Among the many circulated stories, one of them mentioned that Gawain had to marry an ugly witch in order to complete a mission.

The married witch told Gawain that due to the curse, she would have two different forms during the day and night.

Gawain can choose to make the witch become a beautiful princess during the day, so that he can enjoy the admiration and envy from the people around him.

But when night falls, Gawain will face an ugly witch.

Contrary to this, Gawain can also choose to let the witch behave in an ugly appearance during the day, although it will incur some ridicule.

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

Faced with two choices, Gao Wen, a noble character, left the final choice in the hands of the witch.

“The body belongs to you. You should choose your own lifestyle.”

Gawain’s answer broke the curse of the witch, and the witch returned to her original appearance, becoming a beautiful woman and living happily with Gawain.

Of course, this is just a small story circulating on the European continent, but when he saw the image of the mountain girl at this time, Roger suddenly remembered this story.

If this matter is true, then perhaps Gao Wen once met a mountain girl.

“You have fulfilled your vow, and then it’s my turn.”

The mountain girl looked at Roger, “Ask your question, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

“Okay.” Roger nodded.

“I hope I can learn information about the Gate of Shadows.”

“You found a door of shadow?”

The mountain girl looked at Roger with a weird look, “Did you open this door?”

Roger nodded.

“Since you have opened this door, you shouldn’t have asked me about this question, because you should have already understood the truth through the trail behind.”

“Shadow Path, what’s that?”

“Strange, you don’t even know.”

“Well, let’s start from the beginning.”

“Our world is diverse. In addition to the weird and unknowable curse, there are many weird places in this world.”

“The Shadow World is one of them.”

While talking about the mountain girl, she lit a candle by the window.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the faces of the two of them, and also left their shadows on the wall.

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

Seeing this scene, he seemed to understand something.

“In the real world, different substances have their own inherent shapes and characteristics. Even if the transformation occurs, different substances can be merged together.”

“But the whole process is also changeable and dangerous.”

“This is exactly what the alchemists have been doing.”

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

The mountain girl glanced back.

“The shadows can overlap.”

“This kind of crazy experiment once gave birth to a large number of terrifying monsters. Gradually people realized the harm. The shadow world was completely sealed, and no one could find the entrance to it.”

Roger heard some information hidden in the mountain girl’s words.

“You mean that the original alchemy was derived from the fusion of shadows in the shadow world?”

“Almost, it was not until later that people summarized their own experience.”

“This crazy practice almost destroyed our world. Many powerful hybrids were created during that period.”

The mountain girl looked at Roger, thought about it, or said: “Whether it is a warlock or the so-called bloodline hunters in the Knights of the Round Table, haven’t you ever wondered where these initial bloodlines originate from?”

“Is it a cross between humans and monsters?”

Roger’s eyes widened sharply. If what the mountain girl said was true, then the news would be too great.

“That world was destroyed, not just the entrance, too many years have passed, and no one knows what happened.”

“So just now I heard you said that I found a door to the shadows, I felt a little strange.”

“According to your story, if I’m not wrong, what you have found is an abandoned shadow door.”

“It’s like a house. Open a door and enter a new area. Now the world behind the door does not exist. Even if the door is opened, the difference between the two worlds is not big for you.”

“You don’t need to worry about it.”

Roger just breathed a sigh of relief, abruptly, a head suddenly came up from the side, 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, part of the functions of the shadow door can still be used.”

Roger looked at the woman coming out behind, and remembered the face that was carried by the mountain girl.

“What function?”

He asked suspiciously.

“It’s a kind of teleportation ability.”

The mountain girl replied, “When the shadows overlap, there will be a part of mutual exchange. This exchange will not affect the nature of the two parties, but it can be used as a guide.”

“Through special means, this kind of guidance can cross the space barrier and reach another area with a gate of shadow.”

“But you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Time has passed for too long. The number of shadow gates remaining in this world is absolutely handful, and the possibility of information exchange is extremely low.”

“The area behind the shadow gate that you have now can only allow you to do little harmless experiments at best, and it won’t have much impact on reality.”

“so……”

Roger shrugged.

“Am I just assuming that nothing happened?”

I always feel that this approach is a bit too trifling.

After listening to Roger’s words, the two faces groaned, then they nodded together after looking at each other.

“Yes.”

Through the window, Roger looked at Henrik who was lying next to the bed.

Roger originally thought it was one, but there were actually two. No wonder Henrik was so tired.

Following Roger’s gaze, the mountain girl showed a satisfied smile.

“Your friend is very interesting, if it is not blood, I even think he is a member of the inhuman race.”

“I like him very much, and he is also very good.” The mountain girl considered for a while, “In this case, I decided to give you an extra question.”

Roger blinked.

“Buy 1 get 1 free?”

“Uh…it’s not right, this guy Henrik kills two birds with one stone…”

“Seize this opportunity, it will not wait.” The mountain girl smiled.

Roger thought for a while and said, “Can you tell me where I can find the manuscript of the fairy tale world?”
