(Today's Second Chapter)
GOR Chapter 86: The Second Fountain!
"Faith …" Medusa's voice was soft as she reminisced. Then, she asked again. "However, didn't this Knight abandon his faith? He should be someone without faith. "
"That is different," Du Wei calmly replied. "Everyone has faith in their heart. Although Hussain has abandoned his faith, that does not mean that he no longer has faith in his heart! However, after abandoning one faith, a new faith will take its place! This is a common trait among humans. Everyone, anyone who is alive, must have faith in their heart, regardless of whether that faith is righteous or evil. Only those who have faith in their heart can possess enough courage and strength. The stronger the faith, the stronger the power. Under the influence of this power, one will either be immortalized for generations to come, or go down in infamy for tens of thousands of years! "
After saying that, Du Wei seemingly smiled. "After saying so much, just how much do you understand?"
"I do not know." Medusa's voice was low. "Greed … nostalgia … weakness … callousness … loneliness … and also, faith … these are what you call 'human nature'. Human nature is too complicated. "
"It has always been complicated." Du Wei quickly continued. "Humans are the most complicated creatures in this world. Among all living creatures, humans have the most abundant emotions. They understand love, family, friendship and emotions the most. However, at the same time, they are also the most cruel. They are the best at killing, infighting and killing their own companions! Throughout human history, humans have been fighting each other. You kill me, I kill you. That is just a process … Medusa, if you think that you can understand or grasp human nature after peeking into the hearts of the three of us, then you are wrong. "
After saying that, Du Wei smiled. "Now, tell me, did I pass the test?"
After a long silence, a sigh could be heard. "Yes, you passed."
•
Du Wei quickly met the legendary Medusa.
In this empty hall, in front of this wall!
A rustling sound came from the wall. Then, a figure slowly walked out of the stone wall … Her entire body seemed to be made of stone. Or rather, she seemed to have fused with the stone wall itself.
Queen Medusa, of course, was a woman.
The moment she stepped out of the stone wall, the stone on her body began to slowly fade away. Her gray, hard, and cold skin began to turn a delicate white, looking smooth and soft. Her beautiful hair also gradually became lustrous and gentle.
The contours of her face also began to become clear … and absolutely beautiful!
Even Du Wei had to admit that the Queen of Medusa in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life! Her figure was soft and moving. Every inch of her skin and every curve seemed to be the most perfect work of art created by the Creator after strict calculations. Her legs, her waist, her buttocks, her arms, her chest, every proportion seemed to have reached a state of perfection. In addition to the natural charm of a snake, it caused every movement, every subtle movement, to have a kind of almost seductive charm.
However, all of this didn't mean anything … What really made Du Wei stunned was her face!
It could be said that this was a face that could make men go crazy! Du Wei couldn't even find the right words to describe such a beautiful face … At this moment, even the words "devastatingly beautiful" were far from enough to describe this kind of peerless beauty!
Du Wei only knew that he was already stunned, like a blind man who saw the light again. He was shocked by this kind of spirit in front of him, this kind of spirit that could frighten people's souls!
Du Wei dared to bet that at least such a beautiful woman absolutely couldn't exist in this world! If she existed … then, it would definitely lead to a disaster!
Heavens … Just looking at that pair of red lips, Du Wei was already sighing.
Beautiful women, Du Wei had seen many, but beauty that was close to the level of a disaster, then, in front of him, Queen Medusa, was definitely the first!
Furthermore … her eyes were closed!
Du Wei dared to guarantee that if she opened her eyes, even if it was only a third of this face's radiance … Heavens, what would Queen Medusa's eyes look like? Such a beautiful face, if it could be decorated with a pair of eyes that were like stars, like gemstones … then, her face was enough to murder the hearts of most men in this world!
This Queen Medusa, she was really beautiful … beautiful …
Inhumanly beautiful! Terrifyingly beautiful!!
After a while, Du Wei came back to his senses. Then, the first thing he did was to take a deep breath, and relax his lungs that were lacking in oxygen due to being in a daze just now.
"Fortunately, you have been staying here all this time and did not let other humans see you." Du Wei gave his evaluation. "Otherwise, with just your beauty, even if you are the terrifying Medusa, there would be human authorities who would go crazy for you. They would not hesitate to start a war to seize you!"
"Is this also human nature?" Medusa asked softly.
Standing before Du Wei, Medusa's voice was no longer hoarse and low. Clearly, her voice earlier had been emitted through the vibrations of the stone wall, covering up her original voice … and the real Medusa's voice was naturally very pleasant to the ears.
Du Wei was very satisfied with this … this was a very natural state of mind. If he were to see such a beautiful woman who could murder the hearts of men, yet she was emitting such a hoarse and unpleasant voice, this was simply … a sin!
Thank the Heavens, her voice was as pleasant to the ears as the gentle flowing water of a spring brook.
"You could say that …" Du Wei smiled. "However, with your appearance, if you were to appear in the human world, it would definitely cause a war between men."
"But I am not a human," Medusa replied with a trace of melancholy.
Next, she gently walked to Du Wei's side. "Gege Wu had said before, most humans are very afraid of me. Medusa is a terrifying monster to humans, a terrifying existence … why are you not afraid of me? I can sense that your power … is not strong. "
"It is not 'not strong'. Compared to you, my power can be considered very weak," Du Wei smiled. "However, why should I be afraid of you?"
"I do not know. However, Gege Wu had said that humans are very afraid of Medusa." She shook her head and closed her eyes. With a casual wave of her hand, her slender finger moved through the air and the stone floor beside her slowly rolled up like dough. In the end, a stone chair wriggled out from the stone floor. Medusa calmly sat down and faced Du Wei. "You came to see me, and now you have seen me."
"Yes, I have seen you." Du Wei sighed. "What I saw was not Queen Medusa, who would cause humans to lose their faces upon hearing her name. What I saw was not a top-grade demonic beast who would kill without restraint and turn humans into stone … what I saw was a secluded person living in seclusion. Her heart was lonely, her heart was empty, and she was looking for something to believe in … a pitiful woman. Oh, right, there is one more thing to add: a beautiful snake woman who does not like to become a human. "
"You are very interesting, an interesting human." Medusa lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she smiled. "Although I have not come into contact with many humans. Other than Gege Wu, you are the second human to talk to me a lot. Originally, I planned to kill you and your companions. Because although I am not a human, I do not understand human nature. However, at the very least, I do not like to be disturbed. "
Du Wei was silent.
Indeed, the other party was once a golden-eyed python. Her nature was closer to that of a 'beast'.
"I know. That is why I dared to come see you." Du Wei said very frankly. "Because I know that you are not a pure murderous, evil monster like in the legends … you are just … please forgive my choice of words. You are just 'ignorant'."
Medusa did not care at all. "You are right. I am indeed 'ignorant'. At the very least, I have no understanding of human nature."
Just like how humans always described certain beasts as ferocious, wolves as cruel, foxes as cunning, and some magical beasts as terrifying … In fact, these were all using human standards to measure other creatures.
But whether it was wolves, foxes, or terrifying magical beasts … were they really 'bad'? Were they really 'evil' and 'terrifying'? Of course not … because they were just living normally according to their own race's' bestial nature '.
Wolves were born to eat meat. Lions and tigers were born to hunt prey. This was the law of the world. They could not be said to be evil or ferocious because of this.
Medusa was the same.
"Then, human, tell me your purpose in coming." Medusa asked softly. She sat on the stone chair so delicately. Her head was lowered, and she gently supported her cheek with one hand.
"Originally, I came for the Fountain of Youth." Du Wei smiled and said. "But now it seems that that thing does not seem to be something useful. That thing does not seem to be of much use to humans, except for being able to solidify the form. It seems to only be effective against magical beasts or Treants … Oh, will you kill us because of this? I heard that those fellows who came with Gege Wu were all killed by you because of this fountain. "
Medusa smiled. She was really smiling. This expression made her seem more human. "That was back then … back then, I did not understand. I was just a snake in human form. No one taught me human nature. I simply knew that there were outsiders who entered my territory, and I wanted to kill them. It was that simple … You should thank Gege Wu. He at least taught me some human habits. Otherwise, when you walked into the canyon today, I would have already killed you. "
"My purpose for coming here is no longer important, because after my conversation with Gargamel, I have already lost interest in the spring water. However, my two companions have other purposes." Du Wei felt that in front of this Medusa, it was best to tell the truth. Maybe he could get some benefits.
"One of my companions, his master is under the Petrification Curse. We need the eyes of the Golden Eye Python to save her. We came to the Frozen Forest to look for the Golden Eye Python." When Du Wei said this, he carefully looked at Medusa.
"So you originally wanted me?" Medusa said expressionlessly. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Du Wei smiled and said. "I think, as the final evolution of the Golden Eye Python, you should have a way to save the Petrification Curse … I don't want your eyes."
"Why should I help you?" Medusa's voice was still calm. "Gege Wu taught me one thing. Humans usually have a 'transaction' method. In other words, there is a price for making a request."
"I am a very good teacher." Du Wei smiled. "You are a snake who does not want to be a human. However, you have no choice now. So, I am willing to teach you a lot of human habits. Of course, the most important thing is human nature. "
"Everything?"
"Everything." Du Wei answered affirmatively. "However, I cannot guarantee that you will feel happy because human life is not a purely happy process. There is both sweetness and pain in human nature. If you want to experience it, I can teach you more things. For example, I can teach you the first lesson right now. "
Medusa was silent for a moment. "What?"
"Loneliness." Du Wei said coolly. "You are very lonely. Your face, your voice, your words, and the fact that you live in this place … Everything indicates this. "
"I am very lonely." Medusa nodded her head. "If loneliness is what you said earlier, then you are right."
"Do you like this feeling?" Du Wei smiled.
Medusa thought about it for a long time. Then, she slowly shook her head.
"If so, it is very simple. I can help you get rid of your loneliness." Du Wei continued, "Humans are social animals. In order to not feel lonely, you must first communicate with other humans. For example, find your friends or companions.
Next, Du Wei asked the second question. "Do you have faith in your heart?"
"No." This time, Medusa was quick to answer. For someone who had been sleeping all this time and would only wake up once every 10 years, she did not have any faith in her life.
"Human nature requires faith, a goal in life … even if it is just a little bit of interest, something that can arouse your interest." Du Wei smiled even more happily this time. "Believe me, when it comes to interesting things, no one in the world is more proficient than me."
After these two questions, Du Wei asked the third question. "Do we have a deal?"
The answer … was self-evident.
•
When Hussain woke up, he was lying in the hall just like when Du Wei woke up from the illusion. Dadaneier was lying next to him.
There was also the poor mouse Prime Minister, Gege Wu, sitting next to him. The mouse Prime Minister had an uneasy expression. Following his gaze, Hussain saw Du Wei walking towards him with a smile.
Behind Du Wei stood a woman.
Hussain immediately jumped up from the ground, but before Knight could move, Du Wei had already shouted, "Okay, Hussain, come, meet our new partner."
There was no need for an introduction, because Gege Wu had already fallen to the ground, his body trembling. Looking at the woman, his whole body twisted into a ball of meat.
"This is our new partner, Queen Medusa." Du Wei said, pulling Dadaneier up and then giving him something. It was a small stone bottle.
"Take it, this is a strand of Queen Medusa's hair. After you bring it back and take it out of the bottle, it will become a sleeping Golden Eye Python. Use it to save your Marquise. "Du Wei said with a smile.
Dadaneier didn't know if he was shocked or at a loss as he took the item. Du Wei had already walked over with a smile and patted Hussain, "My friend, don't be stunned. Now, Her Majesty is going to take us to see the fountain of youth. Don't you want to see the place where Aragon went? Now, let's go. "
Queen Medusa's amazing beauty also shocked Hussain. His hand pressed on the hilt of his sword and then put it down. After listening to Du Wei's words, he was even more at a loss.
"Well, now is not the time to draw the sword." Du Wei gently patted Hussain's shoulder and then whispered with a smile, "I saw you successfully promoted to Paladin in the dream … Speaking of which, I have to thank Her Majesty."
Looking at Du Wei pulling Hussain towards the door of the hall behind them, Medusa walked in front without saying a word, like a ghost.
Dadaneier was awakened from his daze by Gege Wu's sigh.
The mouse prime minister groaned, "He … What is this young man doing? God above … He seems to be getting along well with the queen? Or am I dreaming? Could it be that I'm still in an illusion? Or … the legend is true?! God! He wouldn't … He wouldn't … "
"What are you mumbling about?" Dadaneier frowned.
"Haven't you heard of the legend?" Gege Wu stared at Dadaneier, "The legend of Queen Medusa."
Dadaneier shook his head.
"The legend …" Gege Wu sighed, his eyes glanced at the backs of Du Wei and the others and whispered, "According to the ancient records, besides the terrible power of Medusa, there is another special point … That is, if she shed tears for anything … No matter if it is a man or a woman, a human or a magical beast, if it can make Medusa shed tears for the first time in her life, then Medusa will forever fall in love with the creature that shed tears for her. I say, your young companion, he wouldn't have that idea, right? "
Dadaneier didn't hear Gege Wu's words clearly. He rubbed his eyes and murmured, "Strange … Why did this kid solve the problem when I woke up?"
He touched the stone bottle that Du Wei gave him … There was a strand of Medusa's hair in it! It could become a sleeping golden eye python … Dadaneier finally woke up completely!
The Marquise could be saved!!

"The spring water is here." Medusa pointed in front of her.
At a corner of the hall, Medusa casually chanted a few incantations. The stone slab in front of her quietly flipped open, and an exquisitely-carved fountain slowly emerged from below.
"This is the Fountain of Youth that you are looking for." After Medusa finished the introduction, Du Wei was a little disappointed.
It seemed … that there was nothing special.
However, Medusa's next words made Du Wei surprised!
"This is the first spring. Do you want to see the other spring in this canyon?"
"There is another spring in this canyon? What is that? "Du Wei turned his head and looked at Medusa in surprise.
"I don't know what it is." Medusa's answer was very cold, "But, that spring water is the opposite of the Fountain of Youth, so I gave it a name … Time Passes."
