Chapter 619: Church Square
The two of them continued to rush towards the city.
In this childlike and cute world, Ronald once again experienced the fun of childhood.
The fountain in the square will turn off and on when you poke it with your hand, octopus tentacles will pop out, and then the onlookers will be sucked into the underground roadside well. There are even real magicians who will perform performances for the surrounding audience in line with the festive atmosphere...
These things were absolutely impossible to see in the city in the past.
It can be seen everywhere around the road at the moment.
Although it was a bit troublesome to find the way in the city maze, one thing was undeniable - Ronald and Patricia both thought it was a very interesting journey.
Then... something even more unimaginable happened.
When the two left the border forest area and worked hard to pass through the next maze-like city area, and then when they were about to enter the intersection where the church was located, a new obstacle came face to face.
At this moment, blocking the road was a monster with the upper body of a beauty and the lower body of a lion. Just seeing the appearance of this thing, Ronald knew that it was the eternal classic in the maze theme - the Sphinx.
Ronald blinked his beady eyes, then turned around and asked Patricia, who had a simple and brisk body line:
"Patricia, I haven't been in Springs for too long. Is there such a thing in this city?"
Patricia shook her head.
The cartoon image of her makes this action which is very cute:
"Don't say you haven't seen it during the time you've been in the Springs. Even though I, a local who grew up here, have never encountered such a thing?"
While the two were talking, the beautiful Sphinx bent down slightly and put his head in front of Ronald:
"Hey, isn't this the great detective Ronald?"
"I have a guessing challenge here, you Do you want to try?"
"If you can pass this challenge, I will make way for you, but if you can't..." Before
Sphinx could finish his words, Ronald interrupted him without thinking:
"The answer is human beings."
"..."
"Why did you rush to answer my question before I even asked it?"
Sphinx looked shocked.
Obviously she didn't expect that the intruder she met would actually give the answer before she asked the question.
And more importantly - this answer is still correct!
Ronald said calmly:
"It doesn't matter that I can answer this. Anyway, don't you just want to play a guessing game? Just tell me whether my answer is correct or not." "...
"
The Sphinx fell silent. seconds.
Then an awkward smile appeared on her beautiful cartoon face, and she continued in a very unconvincing tone:
"No, I have to ask another question!"
So Ronald continued to answer:
"The sisters are Bai Tian and Dark night!"
"..."
"Huh???"
The Sphinx was obviously frightened.
Her lion's lower body and her beautiful upper body jumped back a few meters. She even shivered like a frightened little animal and said: "Is
this... is this the strength of the great detective?"
"Yes, this is the great detective. Detective Ronald's strength!" Ronald nodded with a strong sense of empathy, and then pointed to the street behind the Sphinx, "Can you get out of the way now? We are busy on our way now." "Of course
... "The Sphinx replied with an almost dull expression, and her body involuntarily moved to the edge of the road. Until Ronald and Patricia were more than ten meters away from her. The guy suddenly woke up and said loudly:
"You answered my two questions. I can't just get out of the way!"
"Detective, go to your home and have a look!"
"You will? I gained something!"
Ronald waved to the Sphinx without looking back:
"Thank you for your advice!"
"..."
Saying goodbye to this challenging part of the road, Patricia couldn't think about it on the road. As a result, in the end she couldn't help but wink and asked:
"Ronald, what's going on with that question and answer between you and that thing?"
"I don't understand it at all."
Ronald immediately answered the girl. :
"This is the answer to two riddles."
"The first question - What kind of animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? It is a metaphor for the three states of human beings: childhood, adulthood and old age. "
The other question is - there is a pair of sisters, the elder sister gave birth to the younger sister, and the younger sister gave birth to the older sister. The riddle uses this contradictory relationship to metaphor the rules of the alternation of day and night." Patricia nodded with her lovely
head Nodding:
"So that's it..."
Patricia didn't ask how Ronald knew these two riddles.
As for the depth of conversation, Patricia's level is completely consistent with her status as a noble. This will not change even if the style of painting is different.
Then continue walking into the church area.
The two saw a huge stone statue in the church square.
—This is a sculpture of one of the great popes of the Church.
In this picture book world where everything is full of fantasy, this sculpture naturally comes to life and becomes a stone giant that can move at will.
At this moment, a group of clergymen were surrounding it, hugging the thighs of the stone statue with their bodies and crying:
"Master statue, you must not run away! When Her Majesty the Queen comes over today, you are part of the celebration program He plays an important role!"
It's a pity that the stone statue's tone was not that good.
This huge sculpture shouted there almost in a fugitive tone:
"Have you idiots ever considered my feelings?"
"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, twenty-four hours a day, not even a minute. I don’t even have a holiday. I have been standing in this square in the wind and sun. Why don’t you try it for yourself?” “
I quit, let me go!”
Ronald and Patri Shia, of course, did not stay in the church area because of this phenomenon.
However, as they walked through this place,
they couldn't help but look at each other first, and then started talking with a smile:
"Ronald, what do you think will happen if this stone statue escapes?"
"I don't think he will need it in the future. You must be very happy to work.”
"In that case, the church adults will definitely be very sad."
"..."
Woo hoo hoo -
just when the two were talking and laughing, and were about to leave the square.
A sound from a trumpet-shaped instrument came from the distance.
Both Ronald and Patricia, who were drawn in cartoon style, realized that something had changed, so they took up their short legs and started running wildly. Finally, they circled the maze of the square and climbed to a tower in the church district.
Then, the scene from the direction of the sound came into view.
"It's a celebration parade..."
"Her Majesty the Queen..."
Ronald never expected it.
I actually came into contact with this harvest day celebration in this way!
