Chapter 357 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

When Roger left the woods, a trace of white fish was already lit up in the sky, and smoke rose faintly in the direction of the town in the distance.

A new day has begun.

After dawn, the candy house like heaven disappeared, and replaced by a dilapidated wooden house.

Roger didn't know how to judge what Henzel and Gret did. Everything happened here was very similar to a fairy tale circulating on the European continent.

Candy House.

There are also two children named Grett and Henzel in that story.

The difference is that these two children were abandoned by their father, but they found their way home again and again at night.

But the vicious stepmother drove them out of the house, and the child accidentally entered the candy house in the darkness and was caught by the witch.

But the ending of the story is that the two children defeated the witch with their wisdom, brought back the jewelry in the candy house, and returned home to live a happy life with their father.

"Fairy tales are fairy tales after all."

“Reality is often much more cruel than fairy tales.”

Similar stories and similar names, all of this made Roger vaguely suspicious.

The so-called Grimm fairy tale is nothing more than some short stories compiled by the Grimm brothers during the process of collecting fragments of the fairy tale world.

There is a real version circulating within the Knights of the Round Table.

There are many stories in fairy tales, and Roger is not sure whether the number of manuscripts mastered within the Knights of the Round Table is as many as in fairy tales.

Roger speculated that some of them might be true, while others came from later processing.

What puzzled Roger was the story he had just participated in.

If this story comes from a true fairy tale manuscript, then it should logically belong to the Knights of the Round Table like Little Red Riding Hood.

But it just wandered outside.

What is the reason why something that should belong to the Knights of the Round Table appears here?

Roger didn't know that the little Red Riding Hood he obtained came from a coincidence task. In fact, what really puzzled him was the story he had just experienced.

"A story in the story?"

Although he did not get the fairy tale manuscript, Roger was not much discouraged. The mountain girl once reminded her to be careful of the dangers of sleeping in the valley.

This made Roger feel a little excited while being alert. The golden pages are an extremely important part of the fairy tale manuscript.

It is more inclusive and can often build a huge area based on this to form a small world.

"Can the hidden behind this sleeping valley be a golden page?"

As he walked, Roger suddenly smelled a bloody smell. He walked through the bushes and two corpses came into view.

The flesh on the surface of the corpse has been swallowed up, and even the internal organs have been turned everywhere, with a large mass of heavy stones wrapped in the abdominal cavity.

Through clothing, Roger easily recognized the identities of the two.

It was John and his wife.

It is not an exaggeration for these two people to suffer any painful punishment.

When Roger returned to the town, he naturally attracted the attention of the residents of the town. He fabricated a story about a couple looking for their daughter and being eaten by wild animals.

Everyone had no doubts, and soon a sheriff organized people to find the body of John and his wife in the woods.

There were not many levels in the village. Apart from the mayor, there were only sheriffs and several guards who kept the safety during the period.

Although Roger is a strange face, with what happened yesterday and the tragedy that happened at John's house, even if someone is confused, it is not easy to say more at this time.

In this way, Roger naturally integrated into the town and inherited John's broken house.

After a simple cleaning, Roger wandered around the town using the excuse of finding a job.

After most of the day I learned about it, I also had a little impression of the entire town. Although the villagers are xenophobic, the folk customs are relatively simple.

Here, Roger did not discover any extraordinary power.

The oldest and most prestigious person in the town is the mayor. As night falls, Roger sneaks into the mayor's home quietly in the darkness.

Hearing the strange noises from the room, Roger felt that he had to wait, but before he could count 30 numbers, a depressing sound came from the room.

The old guy has disarmed.

"At his age, he is pretty good at fighting power."

Watching the fat maid gradually fade away in the dark, Roger pushed the door and immediately activated the Yakshifen Seal when he saw the old mayor.

"Tell me everything about Sleeping Valley."

Through indirect attacks all day, Roger did not collect much information in the town, so he focused on the mayor with the most experienced and knowledgeable knowledge.

The old mayor was just an ordinary person. His eyes suddenly became turbid due to the influence of the seal.

"Sleeping Valley?"

"That's an ancient legend."

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a very prosperous country in the valley. The king of this country was beautiful and the residents lived and worked in peace and contentment."

"Everyone was eating sweet white bread and dressed in gorgeous clothes."

Speaking of clothes, Roger looked at the old mayor's thin body and helped the other party with great quality to cover it up.

Um……

Now it looks much more elegant.

"The whole kingdom is very happy, and even the king's only daughter is beautiful and generous, and very sympathetic to the people."

"But later, a vicious woman cursed the princess and caused the entire country to suffer disaster."

"The kingdom is sleeping so hard that it is gradually covered by vines and sealed in the valley. There are even rumors that no matter who approaches this valley, they will fall into a terrible nightmare."

"Sleeping on the ground, becoming a fertilizer for plants."

"Do you know where Sleeping Valley is?"

Roger asked.

The old mayor shook his head first, but then suddenly stood up from the bed. He bent down and took out a wooden box under the bed tremblingly.

The surface of the box was carved with a bright rose, and the flowers were in bud. When the box was opened, the mayor took out a rose-shaped brooch from it.

"It is said that the princess in the Sleeping Valley is affected by a spell. As long as someone can awaken the princess, she can get the princess' love and become the new king of this country."

The mayor handed the box to Roger, "In the prophecy, a prince will come here to awaken the princess."

Roger took the box with a strange look on his face.

"prince?"

"Is it me?"

Then he asked the mayor about some legends and stories related to Sleeping Valley. The old man was a little older and had just carried out a vigorous activity. He was influenced by Roger's seal and could no longer hold on at this time.

In order to avoid irreversible damage to the mayor, Roger quietly left the room with the box in his hand.

Before dawn the next day, he got up early and entered the nearby forest. He did not return to the town until the sun set.

The Curse Sword he was carrying was put into a hollowed-out wooden stick by Roger, and it didn't seem abrupt if he carried it with him.

Early in the morning of the third day, just as Roger was wandering in the mountains, a noise suddenly came from the woods.

"I finally found this ghost place."

"Matt, go ahead and take a look."

Hearing this voice, Roger was stunned at first, but soon he saw a group of people walking out of the woods.

A young man at the beginning looked delighted when he saw Roger.
