Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 249 Some people are alive, but they are already dead!
In the quiet courtyard, Hai Bodong, with a dull expression and an indescribable state of mind, opened the novel that Jiang Lin threw to him with stiff fingers.
This novel mainly tells the story of a human Dou Huang who has the same name and surname as Hai Bodong and has the same ice attribute. During an exploration of the ruins of the Tagor Desert, he accidentally met a beautiful and gentle snake girl who had lost her memory.
The snake girl turned out to be the sister of the contemporary Queen Medusa. This was something that was impossible. The elders of the snake tribe asked Queen Medusa to kill her sister, but Queen Medusa couldn't bear it, so the snake girl used forbidden magic to escape, and was met by the Ice Emperor with the same name as Hai Bodong. The usually cold and domineering Ice Emperor actually felt a little bit of pity for the snake girl, and then the Ice Emperor took the snake girl to escape.
During his escape, the Ice Emperor found that he gradually fell in love with the Snake Girl, who looked almost exactly like Queen Medusa, but was more gentle. The Ice Emperor gave his ring to the Snake Girl as a token of love. In order to take the Snake Girl away, the Ice Emperor did not hesitate to fight with Queen Medusa. But how could the Ice Emperor defeat Queen Medusa?

So in order to protect the Ice Emperor, the snake girl sacrificed herself to protect her lover and left.
"You are cold inside and out, and I can only melt you with my fiery fire." This sentence comes from what the snake girl said to the Ice Emperor in this novel.
"."

silence
"."

Speechless silence.
"Does Queen Medusa really have a sister?" Hai Bodong finished reading the novel in his hand, and then his eyes were filled with lingering confusion and bewilderment. He looked at the last page of the novel picture book in his hand, which showed the exquisite picture of a snake girl dying in the hands of the white-haired Ice Emperor, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After reading this novel, Hai Bodong felt so depressed that he wanted to run over and pull out Queen Medusa right then and there. Then he would kowtow to her and beg her to spare his life.
No matter right or wrong, success or failure, a hero is a real man only if he can bend and stretch!
Queen Medusa is too strong, and it is impossible to defeat her. Hai Bodong just thought about it in his mind.

"I'm not sure, but the last time I saw it, it seemed to have a companion spirit snake, but unfortunately, it died." Jiang Lin was talking about the sixth-order giant snake that Xiao Yan saw in the Medusa Temple that was killed by thunder. It was also the original owner of the fire crystal core in Xiao Yan's body. The giant snake resisted the heavenly tribulation for Queen Medusa, and Queen Medusa completed her transformation in its body. In a sense, it fits the story of the novel, right?

"Dead?" Hai Bodong was slightly stunned, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there would be a reply? However, he had never heard of such a big thing as a sixth-level monster falling in the Tagor Desert.

"But, does the Equipment Refiner Guild like to criticize others so much?" Hai Bodong still couldn't understand. He had only disappeared for more than ten years, not been dead for more than ten years. Why were there people spreading rumors about the messy things that happened to him among the snake people? Why were there so many people gossiping?
"Well, most of the female strongmen among the top ten strong men in Gama have various novels and picture books, but they are only circulated in small circles. Yours just happened to be seen by me." Jiang Lin looked at Hai Bodong with a rather pitying look, and the latter felt a naked offense in the other's eyes.

Some people are alive, but he is dead.

Hai Bodong has been missing for too long. He is like a dead person. No one cares about the truth anymore. People only believe what they see or what they want to believe. Besides, the dead cannot speak.

". Forget it, let them say whatever they want." Hai Bodong sighed slightly, feeling an unknown fatigue and decadence in his heart. After being sealed for these years, what kind of humiliation has he not suffered? It's just that his reputation has been slandered by others, and his integrity has been lost. As long as he recovers his strength and returns to the peak, he will naturally let those bastards understand what the dignity of a Douhuang is!
"But how did those people know that there was a battle between Queen Medusa and me, and how did they get involved? This novel is written as if he had seen it with his own eyes!" This made Hai Bodong a little confused. He looked at the novel picture book in his hand, with a hint of anger in his eyes, but deep in the anger was a deep fear, because the ending of the novel was very predictable, stating that although Queen Medusa let the Ice Emperor go, she planted a seal on the Ice Emperor, so that he could never leave the Tagor Desert.
Not to mention how correct the content of the novel is, some of the key contents alone are enough to make Hai Bodong feel deeply fearful. He seemed to have been completely predicted. In Hai Bodong's view, the "errors" in the novel were more like an arrogant mockery by the author, and were deliberately written in this way.

Hai Bodong wanted to check the author's name of this novel picture book, but there was no name on it. But this was very normal. After all, the author of this kind of small H book that criticized two Douhuang strongmen at once would have to be very stupid to leave his name. He would not even leave a pen name, because the more you do, the more mistakes you will make. Only by doing nothing can you ensure that you make the least mistakes.

Hai Bodong looked at the novel in his hand, and he felt his scalp tingling. The content of the book might be wrong, but the results were all right! He Hai Bodong could leave the Tagor Desert, but he would always come back here to unlock the seal! Before the seal was unlocked, he would eventually return to the Tagor Desert!

"That much?" Chi Jin's eyes took in the complex expressions of Hai Bodong, which were sometimes dazed and sometimes terrified. Jiang Lin seemed to see through Hai Bodong's current feelings, but he did not expose them. Instead, he chuckled and said, "The Equipment Refiner Guild has a little connection with the Serpent People. They should have learned from the Serpent People that your last battle before disappearing was in the Tagor Desert where you ran into Queen Medusa, so most of their guesses about you were the same. Most people from other forces later believed that you fell at the hands of Queen Medusa. Only the channels of the Equipment Refiner Guild believed that you were still alive."

"So, some guys who were interested in you used you as a subject and provided a lot of valuable material for the Gama Empire Customs Magazine."

As for how Jiang Lin knew about these custom magazines?
This has to start with his senior brother Fatty Yuan.
