Chapter 087 Fool's Tales (VIII)

Duorui made a decision in an instant.

However, even though she was about to speak, Dong Jin, who had been on guard against this MVP, did not give her the chance to speak. He turned his gaze away and looked at the nobles beside him again, and politely rejected the boxes of gems they had stuffed in. Those

who would come to the fruit tree to pray early in the morning were basically the second sons and daughters of the nobles.

I don't know if they were specially brought up or if they were born this way, but they did not have the drunkenness of the group of people at the ball last night, only the innocence of not having experienced the world.

Seeing that Dong Jin sincerely rejected these gems, the young boys and girls who were determined to repay him said directly: "If you don't like the gems, then what else do you want? Please tell us."

I only want the golden apples.

Thinking this way, Dong Jin certainly couldn't say it directly, so he could only say: "The little prince once gave me a golden apple, I already feel guilty about it, you really don't have to take it to heart."

Duo Rui, who was standing behind the princes and princesses, looked at Dong Jin speechlessly.

Even if she didn't use her talent at this moment, she knew it must be a lie.

Looking at the nobles in front of her who seemed to be thinking about something, and thinking about the people, gods and demons who were deceived to death by Dong Jin in the previous three copies, Duo Rui's initial thought of finding fault suddenly wavered: Because this man is really good at lying!

When it comes to lying, this guy is much better than her. How can she beat him?

Dong Jin didn't care what Duo Rui was thinking. After seeing his suggestion worked, he sent away the nobles who already knew what to give him, and then taught the little prince music peacefully.

Anyway, he taught and the little prince listened, and he didn't know if he was misleading.

While teaching the little prince, Dong Jin also took the opportunity to look at the magnificent fruit tree next door.

Looking at the words "10% mortality rate for ordinary people" and "30% mortality rate for ordinary people" written on the fruits on the tree, he immediately realized that the mortality rate of each apple did fluctuate.

With his luck, he might have gotten the apple with a mortality rate of 50% because of the little prince. Dong Jin suspected that if he went to pick the apples from the tree himself, he might not be able to pick an apple with a mortality rate of 99.99%.

"Sir, you are so good at teaching. The sun will set soon. The location of this garden is a bit too remote. People who are not familiar with it will easily get lost. Please let me take you back."

After a class of lectures with the concepts of "two-part" and "three-part" music on Earth, Dong Jin glanced at the little prince in front of him who really thought he taught well. He didn't know what to say.

Given the little prince's naivety, even if the non-humans on the earth attacked the castle, he might open the door for them happily.

Due to the little prince's enthusiasm, Dong Jin had to let him take him to the corridor where the dormitory was.

However, before he could say goodbye, the little prince saw the exquisite wooden boxes piled up at the door of his dormitory.

"Is this what those people in the garden sent earlier? Sir, can I take a look?"

Dong Jin heard the words and walked in with the boxes in his hand.

In fact, just by looking at the size of the wooden boxes, he had already guessed what was in them - it was nothing more than the golden apples he wanted.

The little prince only needed to ask casually what the nobles sent and he would get the answer, so there was nothing to hide. After all, he was a teacher, and today he would use these golden apples to teach the little prince a real lesson.

"Why are there so many golden apples?!"

Not surprisingly, every gorgeous gift box that the little prince opened at this moment was filled with golden apples of different sizes.

"In the castle, we usually use the juice of golden apples to supply energy. Sometimes when we are in danger, we will pick up the golden apples and throw them to the ground, because once they fall to the ground, they will explode. But now there are so many golden apples piled together. If one of them accidentally falls, your safety..."

Dong Jin also saw this common sense when he was flipping through books in the library.

In fact, when the golden apple falls to the ground, it will explode only when the pressure it receives exceeds a certain level. He is not so careless that he will not die from such a small matter.

However, looking at the overly worried expression of the little prince on the side, Dong Jin, who knew it was difficult to convince him, changed the subject directly and said, "In the library this afternoon, weren't you curious about what kind of fairy tale I read?"

As expected, the little prince's attention was immediately diverted.

"That story is also about the golden apple."

Although they are both golden apples, what Dong Jin wants to tell at this moment is not the foolish fairy tales created by the kings, but the story about the golden apple in Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, the goddess of discord Eris presented the golden apple at the wedding, specifying that it would be given to the "most beautiful goddess" present. After that, the three goddesses fought for it, and even indirectly triggered the subsequent Trojan War. ①

After listening to the story that Dong Jin slightly adapted according to the background of the fairy tale world, the little prince really didn't hear what was interesting about it for a while. But the next second, Dong Jin's words made him forget whether the story was interesting or not, and only felt like floating in the clouds.

All Dong Jin said at this moment was: "The one who gives the fruit will hesitate between the three goddesses, but I have nothing to hesitate about."

As he spoke, he picked a golden apple with a low mortality rate from the box and handed it to the little prince, saying: "This golden apple is dedicated to my most lovely little prince."

Hearing this, the little prince took the apple with a dazed face and walked out with a dazed face. He couldn't even remember what Dong Jin said later. Seeing this,

Dong Jin couldn't help but sigh in the quiet room again.

Telling Greek mythology to the little prince in a fairy tale world, what kind of hellish joke is this?

The key point is that he gave away the golden apple that caused the dispute, and even kindly hinted that the war was coming, but this little prince with zero political acumen didn't understand it at all.

He had done this for the first time, so you can't blame him for not saying it in advance.

Dong Jin, who was alone in the dormitory, no longer thought about how much the little prince had understood. After rubbing his aching forehead, he began to arrange the golden apples one by one according to their mortality rates. Excluding

the one given to the little prince, he still had 12 left - the lowest mortality rate was 10%, and the highest was 70%.

This is the mortality rate for ordinary people, and it would be much lower for him. But Dong Jin didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he looked at the sky that had turned dark, picked up the one with the highest mortality rate on the right, and walked out.

At this moment, the main castle was brightly lit, as the king and the nobles were reveling all night long.

The annex where he was was much quieter, which undoubtedly made it easier for Dong Jin to travel at night.

After making the same preparations as last night, Dong Jin went down the silver chain and entered the strange forest again. But this time he did not explore slowly as before, but headed straight for the center of the lake with a clear goal.

As soon as he stepped into the center of the lake, a poisoned dagger slashed towards his neck without hesitation.

Dong Jin, who had been on guard, dodged to the side.

Considering that he still needed help from Snake, he didn't say anything like "I'm defeated" or anything like that, but just patiently fought with Snake for a while, letting him get over the anger from last night.

Finally, when he felt that the opponent's attack was temporarily slowed down, Dong Jin turned his right hand and turned it into a white flag, waving it lightly and saying, "I surrender."

"Humph." His show of weakness was met with a short sneer.

Sneers aside, it's enough that Snake really stopped.

Seeing that his murderous intention had eased, Dong Jin immediately took the initiative and said, "Brother, we are new partners. To make up for last night's impoliteness, I brought you a gift tonight. Why do you treat me with this thing?"

Dong Jin was referring to the dagger Snake was holding at the moment.

The dagger seemed to be made of snake scales, and every inch of it was emitting a poisonous black light.

Just now, this thing only slightly rubbed the apple on the tree, and the whole apple immediately rotted, and the green grass on the ground turned into a wasteland. It can be seen how strong its toxicity is.

"...Are you crazy? If you want to die, then die. Don't drag others to your death here!"

After seeing Dong Jin throwing a golden apple to him with a smile, Snake's pupils shrank immediately because he knew how the golden apple would explode when it fell to the ground. Even if he didn't want to accept it anymore, he had to step forward to take it at this moment.

At this moment, the cold apple that fell into his fingers made his violent heartbeat even more intense.

For a moment, Snake couldn't tell whether he was trembling because of the near-death crisis or was stimulated by Dong Jin's crazy behavior.

"Don't say that. This is an apple that I got from the sky with great difficulty. It is soaked with my sincerity from the inside out."

Snake didn't know what Dong Jin was doing again.

He endured the blood that had not calmed down for a long time, raised his snake pupil and said mercilessly: "What is your purpose?"

"Didn't I say it yesterday? I came to cooperate with you."

"Now that the rainstorm is imminent, who can ensure that they will survive under the nest? Instead of counting on the ridiculous rainbow apple, it is better for us to fight in the sky together and divide the fruits of the golden fruit tree."

Every word Dong Jin said was exactly what Snake thought.

What pious prayer, what rainbow apple, Snake didn't believe a word.

For so many years, in order to supply the growth of the golden fruit tree, they have been providing the best quality fruits to the sky day and night, but now there is not even a shadow of rainbow fruit.

Instead of continuing to rely on the group of people in the sky, Snake only wanted to get the golden fruit tree at this moment, so that his companions in the forest could eat the fruit to increase their strength. As long as they evolve and become strong enough, no matter how violent the rain is, they will not be able to do anything to them.

"...Since you have a way to get the golden apple, why do you still look for me?" Even though

Dong Jin had already persuaded Snake, he still asked hoarsely after taking a bite of the golden apple to confirm its authenticity.

Dong Jin, who felt that he had a chance, immediately smiled and replied: "Because you are extremely poisonous."

As a BOSS-level character in the forest, the most poisonous creature in the entire fairy tale world should be Snake in front of him. From this, it can be inferred that he must be the one who can reduce the mortality rate of the golden apple the most.

Today he specially picked the most poisonous apple for this person, also to verify this point.

Since Snake doesn't care about the apple toxin at all, and now there is no sign of being poisoned to death, it means that there is nothing wrong with his guess. Of course, he has to find a way to eat it safely.

However, as soon as Dong Jin finished speaking, Snake, who was holding the golden apple, suddenly laughed.

"I am poisonous?" Snake read these two words with an unclear expression. The next second he raised his eyelids, and the dark golden snake pupils looked at Dong Jin and said, "Have a little self-awareness."

"Speaking of poison, who in this world can be more poisonous than you?"

No matter how poisonous he is, he can only poison the human body.

And the person opposite him, every word, every minute, every second, is dedicated to poisoning people's hearts.
