Vol 2 Chapter 23: Journey one

　　 The history of the chessboard country is surrounded by mist.
　　 Even the long-lived gnomes are not very clear. York is a little younger than Peak. This year is only 82 years old. They can live to about 350 on average, and some old monsters can live to 500. This life span shocked and envied Su Ziyu. By comparison, human life span is too short. Even in this world of high energy levels, the average human life span is 60 to 70 years old.
　　 In York's mouth, Su Ziyu learned that the existence of witches is very special in this world.
　　 They hardly grow old, nor do they know how long they can live.
　　Witches have sheltered humans in the dark period, that is an era of dragons and giants.
　　 didn't know much about York in this era, it just said that sky fire burned everything in that era, the heirs of the dragon crawled out of the abyss, terrifying giant snakes ravaged the earth, they used dragons, giants and humans as food.
　　 York has a gift for storytelling.
　　Almost didn't stop his mouth along the way, as long as Su Ziyu was very interested in what he expressed, he could nag a lot.
　　Su Ziyu tentatively asked "Dragon Witch".
　　York's expression was obviously taboo, and he lowered his voice: "I don't know too. Some people say she is a fallen witch. Others say she is a heir to the dragon."
　　 "Some people even say that she is the incarnation of the giant snake."
　　 "She is dead anyway."
　　 "Don't mention the name if it's fine, it is said to bring bad luck."
　　 The journey is very long.
　　 In the evening, the two found a leeward place to settle down. Su Ziyu took out the dragon's meat and prepared it for barbecue. He hadn't eaten dragon meat when he was so grown up, he didn't know how it tasted.
　　 "Huh? Is this also a witch's thing?" York looked curiously at the Su Ziyu lighter lane.
　　 "Well." Su Ziyu asked casually: "At that time did Peak say that he was going to find the White Queen?"
　　 The dwarf in front of him looked at the lighter curiously and thought for a moment: "Not very clear. He didn't say much."
　　 "One day I listened to his dreams."
　　 "I mentioned a legendary thing-Golden Apple!"
　　Golden apple?
　　 Su Ziyu was shocked when she heard Yan Yan and asked, "What else?"
　　 "I don't know." York spread his hand and shook his head: "The legendary thing like Golden Apple, where do I know where."
　　 "Maybe they went to the White Queen just for this."
　　 Su Ziyu heard some speculations in her heart and said softly: "Continue to talk to me about the Golden Apple. What's its use?"
　　 "You don't even know this?" York's expression was quite surprised and asked: "The legendary golden apple that can keep youth and rejuvenation forever! Have you never heard a story about it as a child?"
　　 Isn’t that something from a myth?
　　Suziyu is not very versatile, but in the past in order to make a game background, I still know some Western mythology. Golden Apple has appeared in Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.
　　Golden apples are very famous treasures in Greek mythology.
　　The golden apple first appeared at the wedding of Zeus and Hera. The earth goddess Gaia brought a large leafy tree from the West Coast to Zeus and Hera as a wedding gift. The tree was full of golden apples. The three daughters of the Zeus Night God, called Hesperides, guarded the Holy Garden where golden apples were planted, and there were also a hundred-headed dragon Radon to help them guard.
　　 In addition, the Trojan War broke out because of the Golden Apple.
At that time, the goddess Eris presented a golden apple at the wedding of the human hero Palius and the sea goddess Thetis, which read'Give it to the most beautiful goddess', and then Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite This golden apple can't dispute. Zeus asked a guy named Paris to make judgments. The three goddesses made very attractive conditions for fighting the golden apple. Hera promised to give him supreme power and bless him as a high ruler, Athena. He promised to give him wisdom and strength and encouraged him to take risks to become a hero. Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and become his wife.
　　 Finally, this guy abducted the queen of Sparta, a very famous beauty in history-Helen, which directly led to the outbreak of the Trojan War.
　　 Compared to Greek mythology, the golden apple in Nordic mythology is much simpler.
　　 It is a magical treasure that can rejuvenate and restore youth. It is said that it is the key for the gods to maintain immortal life. When the gods age, they only need to taste the golden apple to restore their youth.
　　 If you look at it like this, the golden apple is a bit like the flat peach in Eastern mythology.
　　 "Golden Apple..."
Su Ziyu frowned and thought. Suddenly he thought of the dream forest and the scary and strange clay puppet. If he remembered correctly, the clay puppet was holding an apple made of black clay. .
　　 He felt very strange at the time.
　　Think now, is there any connection with Golden Apple?
　　 "Meat roasted. It will be cooked in a minute." York's voice awakened the squid in thought.
　　He picked up a piece of roasted dragon meat and handed it to York, and then he took a bite and took a bite~EbookFREE.me~ How to say?
　　 The meat is a bit hard, very chewy, and the taste is not very good, but it feels warm when eaten in the stomach, and I feel like I want to vent my energy.
　　 should be a kind of tonic food.
　　No words for a night.
　　The next day, the two continued their journey, and York would tell him some stories and stories from the north, and from time to time he would mention some heroes among the bard population. Time passed like this every day, and York led the squid to save a lot of trouble, and avoided a mountain giant's den on the way.
　　 They arrived at the northern border on the fourth morning. York stood by a river with a sad expression: "I can only send you here."
　　 "I can't set foot in the south for some reason."
"good luck!"
　　Su Ziyu smiled, and then threw a ruby.
　　After reaching for York, he smiled and said, "I will help you to forge the short blade again next time."
　　 "The gnome is a master of forging."
　　Su Ziyu promised with a smile, he came out very tight this time, and did not have time to delay in the north. Besides, he used the most anti-equipment sniper rifle now. This guy in York really likes bragging, and Su Ziyu doesn't really believe in his craft.
　　 "Really." As if guessing Su Suyu's idea, York Terrier shouted with his neck: "My ancestors have also forged artifacts!"
　　 "Next time you come."
　　 "I will show you the craft of the gnome!"
look.
　　 He was bragging again.
　　 Su Ziyu sat on his horse without even turning his head back, waved his hand directly, and continued on his way toward the front. He had to find a boat to cross the river.
