"Do you know the origin of the name of the city of Crystal Park?"
"Of course I do, it's because of Lake Jumper, right? That's where this river flows ......" said the little devil in response to his hairy boy's question
She still knew this kind of stuff well.
Jingper Lake was located right in the centre of the Jingper City precinct, and hundreds of years ago people had established settlements around the lake ...... As the centuries passed, the
The area around the lake has also developed into a large modern city with a focus on tourism.
As well as the city's most famous attraction, the lake is also home to a large, amber-shaped blue rock at the bottom.
Such a wonder, ......, attracts an unknown number of tourists to the area every year.
"Yo, you actually know ...... then do you know what's so special about that crystal known as 'Percrystal'?"
"Isn't it just that every few years, it glows at night ...... remember it was also on the news and science programs on TV, saying it was a special angle
The light caused by the refracted shè ......" Her Highness the Demon King was unimpressed, although it was an amazing sight, she really wasn't very interested.
"Half right I guess, in fact 'Percrystal' also hides a legend that has been passed down for a long time ......" holding her chin to organize her words, the
Jia Qi realized that this hairy girl of hers ...... really didn't seem to have heard of this legend that was widely circulated within the city limits of Jingper.
"Even if your parents don't tell you, your grandmother should have told you some fantastic story, right?"
"To be reasonable, my grandmother told a lot of stories, hell I don't know what you
of which one?" Eru looked at the other man with a look of idiocy, "At least give a range hint or something ......"
"A curse that brings good luck? Ever heard of it?"
"What the hell, a curse that brings good luck and calls it a ghost ......," spat the little devil halfway through, remembering that his grandmother seemed to have told him
A similar story ......
----
"Including our village, ah, the whole scope of Jingper ...... Every five years, a baby girl with a strange disease is born."
"And these girls with strange diseases have wonderful powers that bring a curse called good luck to their homes."
"But if they bring good luck, then why are they called curses?" Blinking, the young Eru suddenly spoke up and interrupted n
ǎi milk halfway through the story ......
"Because ah ...... alas ......" Grandma's face was full of complications and she was just about to open her mouth to explain, but in the end she just sighed and sh
Nothing was said. Just smiled and stroked each other's little heads ......
----
"Grandma only told me about some weird disease that brought a good luck curse, nothing else ......" the memory ended and the little devil
told Jia Qi roughly what his own grandmother said, and the other party also showed a look of true.
"How can I put it, this strange disease appears in a baby girl every five years, the symptoms are quite varied and uncertain ...... this kind of thing
It's been going on for centuries."
"So what exactly is the disease?"
"I'm not sure what the disease is ...... but let's piece together some scattered information for you."
Based on the information Kaki pieced together, Erolu finally got a roughly complete story ......
For hundreds of years, every five years, a special baby girl was born to Jingper ...... In the year they turned five, the 'strange' in their bodies
disease' would strike.
The exact symptoms of the disease have not been passed on, but these girls bring all sorts of problems to their families when the disease strikes.
All kinds of good luck ......
Legend has it that they have the magical power to grant the wishes of their families within a certain range ...... Even if they don't have a wish, as long as they live
, that family will surely have good weather and even develop prosperity.
"Coincidentally, the day that these baby girls were born also happened to be the day that Percival
The day they would glow ...... the locals believed it was a miracle given by the power of the crystal and the girls became known as
The girls were called the 'Daughters of the Crystal'."
"Because of their incredible power to bring all kinds of good luck to their families, many villages also called them
They are also known as the 'sons of the gods'." Kaki spoke while her tone was full of sympathy and regret.
While suffering from their illnesses, these girls were also deprived of their freedom by their families ...... because their families needed them to live and work for their families
good luck and not a single accident could occur.
But even so, for hundreds of years, none of the 'Daughters of Percival' have survived to grow up without incident ...... as if their own luck
All of it was stripped down and transferred to the so-called 'home'.
These poor girls basically did not live beyond the age of six or seven, and the one who was said to have lived the longest only lasted until nine
The longest living girl was only nine years old.
"The Daughter of Percival only starts to develop at the age of five to bring good luck and is called the 'Son of God' ...... If she lives to die at the age of eight, the
that would be three years in the home. After her death, her home would still hold the luck for three years."
So each 'divine child', deprived of her own freedom, hides in her home from outsiders ...... while suffering from illness and pain
while the family feeds them with good food and drink, as if they were canaries in a cage.
"The vast majority of people here have a belief in this legend that borders on the morbid ...... Many dream of the birth of their family
give birth to a 'Daughter of Percival'." Jia Qi shook his head, it was clear he didn't like the story very much ......
"Good thing it's just a legend, it's the twenty-first century ......" Although he sympathized with the girls, the little devil just took it as a
It's just a story. But halfway through her sentence, she was interrupted by her own hairdresser ......
"Sadly, the Daughter of Percival is real ......"
"Huh?"
"As far as I know, there are three families who have given birth to the Daughter of Percival ...... but they hate the legend and cannot accept their children
being treated so unjustly."
"Which three families? In our village?" The little devil asked curiously, calculating in his mind if he should investigate a wave of them privately.
"My house, your house, and your grandmother's house ......" Jia Qi
very plainly said the words that made a certain loli's jaw drop.
Hearing the words of his own hair, Erolu suddenly remembered that he did have a young aunt at home who died at an early age ...... Grandmother's side as well
Like having a sister-in-law who died at an early age.
"Why don't we go and smash that crystal? I think that thing is quite evil, not a good thing ......" Not only is the legend
true, having had victims in his own family, the little devil couldn't sit still for this.
The death of a person is also causing a group of people to be bewitched ...... No, I have to find a way to fly over there and use my invincible Demon King's power to knock bào that evil
The stone ......
"The Percrystal is long gone, the one at the bottom of the lake now is just an impostor put in by the tourist board ...... One rainy day nine years ago, that thing
just inexplicably disappeared."
(ps: the little devil's disguised state, that boy's body is also real, not some hallucination ...... but getting hurt is
will be fed back to the body.)
