Demon Hunter and His Hut

Chapter 357: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

When Roger left the woods, there was a hint of white fish on the horizon, and a faint smoke rose in the direction of the town in the distance.

A new day has begun.

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

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

Candy house.

There are also two children named Gretel and Hensel in that story.

The difference is that these two children were abandoned by their fathers, but found their way home again and again in the night.

But the vicious stepmother drove them out of the house, and the child strayed into the candy house in the dark in the woods and was caught by the witch.

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

"A fairy tale is a fairy tale after all."

"Reality is often more cruel than fairy tales."

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

The so-called Grimm's fairy tales are nothing but short stories compiled by the Brothers Grimm in the process of collecting fragments of the fairy tale world.

The real version is circulating inside the Knights of the Round Table.

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

Roger guessed 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 real fairy tale manuscript, then it should belong to the Knights of the Round Table just like Little Red Riding Hood.

But it just drifted out.

What makes things that should belong to the Knights of the Round Table appear here?

Roger still didn't know that the Little Red Riding Hood he got came from a mismatched mission. In fact, it was the story that he had just experienced that should have puzzled him.

"The 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 beware of the dangers in Sleepy Valley.

This made Roger faintly excited while being vigilant. The golden pages are an extremely important part of the fairy tale manuscript.

It is more inclusive, and can often build a huge area on this basis, forming a small world.

"Is it a golden book page hidden behind this Sleepy Hollow?"

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

The skin and flesh on the surface of the corpse had been swallowed up, and even the internal organs were turned over, and a large mass of heavy stones was wrapped in the abdominal cavity.

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

It is the Johns.

For these two people, it is not an exaggeration to suffer no more painful punishment.

When Roger returned to the town, he naturally attracted the attention of the residents of the town. He made up a story about a couple seeking a daughter and being eaten by a wild animal.

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

There is not much hierarchy in the village. Except for the mayor, there are only the sheriff and a few guards to maintain security for a while.

Although Roger is a strange face, with the events of yesterday and the tragedy that happened at John's house, even if someone is in doubt, it is not good to say more at this time.

In this way, Roger integrated into the town logically, and even inherited John's ruined house.

After a simple cleanup, Roger wandered around the town on the pretext of finding a job.

Through most of the day’s understanding, I also got a little impression of the whole town. Although the villagers are relatively xenophobic, the folk customs are relatively simple.

Here, Roger did not find any extraordinary power.

The oldest and most prestigious person in the town was the mayor. As night fell, Roger took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the mayor’s home.

Hearing the strange noise coming from the room, Roger felt he had to wait a while, but he hadn't counted 30 by leaning against the wall, and a depressed voice came from the room.

The old guy disarmed.

"At his age, it is considered good combat effectiveness."

Watching the fat maid fading away in the dark, Roger pushed the door in. As soon as he saw the old town mayor, he activated Yaxie Fayin.

"Tell me all about Sleepy Hollow."

Throughout the whole day, Roger didn't collect much information from the town, so he put his ideas on the mayor with the most knowledge and qualifications.

The old mayor was just an ordinary person, and his eyes suddenly became muddy under the influence of the seal.

"Sleep Valley?"

"That's an ancient legend."

"It is said that a very prosperous country existed in the valley a long time ago. The king and queen of this country are beautiful, and the residents live and work in peace and contentment."

"Everyone is eating sweet white bread and wearing gorgeous clothes."

Speaking of clothes, Roger took a look at the thin body of the old mayor, and he was very qualified to help him cover it.

Ok……

It looks much more elegant now.

"People in the entire kingdom are very happy. Even the king's only daughter is beautiful and generous, and very sympathetic to the nation."

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

"As a result, the kingdom fell asleep and was gradually covered by vines and sealed in the valley. There are even rumors that anyone who approaches this valley will fall into a terrible nightmare."

"Sleeping on the ground, it becomes fertilizer for plants."

"Do you know where Sleepy Hollow is?"

Roger asked.

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

A bright rose was carved on the surface of the box, and the flower was in bud. When the box was opened, the mayor took out a rose-shaped brooch from it.

"It is said that the princess in Sleepy Hollow was affected by the curse. As long as someone can awaken the princess, he can be loved by the princess and become the new king of this country."

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

Roger took the box with a weird look.

"prince?"

"Is it me?"

Then he asked the mayor about some legends and stories related to Sleepy Hollow. The old man was a little older and had just been engaged in strenuous activities, and was affected by Roger's seal. At this time, he could no longer hold on.

In order to avoid irreversible harm to the mayor, Roger took the box in his hand and quietly left the room~www.NovelMTL.com~ The next day before dawn, he got up early and went into the nearby forest. Here, he did not return to town until the sun went down.

The sword of cursing he was carrying was put into a hollow wooden stick by Roger, and he didn't seem obtrusive when he carried it with him.

In the early morning of the third day, while Roger was wandering in the woods, there was a sudden noise in the woods.

"Finally found this ghost place."

"Matt, go ahead and have a look."

Hearing this voice, Roger was taken aback for a moment, but soon he saw a group of people walking out of the woods.

A young man at the head saw Roger's face with joy.

"Hey, tree feller, did you know that there is a place nearby called Sleepy Valley?"
