Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Estelle fell silent.After a long time, she opened her mouth and said:

"So, the little trident is more terrifying than the God of War. I have searched through history, but I have never seen an overlord like him." She looked serious, "If we fight him on the frontal battlefield in the future, I... I No confidence at all."

"How could it be? Sister, you have so many orcs."

"Give me a dragon, and I don't even dare to say that I can defeat him." Estherite said with a smile,

"But don't be discouraged, sister. I made a fortune last night, and the omens of the stars and the moon told me that sooner or later we will meet together. You, me, Gerrit, Fasnet, Lord Haven , and maybe Dreyer and Raya, we will meet again and fight together. At that time, no one can stop us."

Hyacinth asked her: "Sister, if you can calculate my fate, can you calculate my fate? I want to find a dragon, preferably a small dragon. Can I find it?"

Isrit laughed and said, "Sister, if everything can be accomplished by prophecy, then people's behavior will be meaningless. In my opinion, I'd better not do the math for you."

Hyacinth asked puzzledly, "Why can't you count it for me?"

Isrit sat upright on the stone bed, her expression became serious, and she said, "Sister, if after I finish the calculation, I say that you can't find the real dragon, do you still want to look for it?"

"Then..." Hyacinth was speechless.

Estherite said: "I once saw a very meaningful sentence in a divination book. 'No prediction is the best prediction, and the unknown represents infinite possibilities'. Sister, prediction can only give you a psychological hint , let you run towards your goal with more confidence, but in fact, it can't control your destiny. Anyone who believes in prophecy will end badly."

Hyacinth nodded and said, "I understand. Sister, the caravan will leave tomorrow. I want to go with them and find the dragon's clues."

"You should go to the swamp to investigate first. I told you before that there is a female dragon courting in the swamp, and she will meet her husband here. After mating, the dragon will lay eggs on the spot. This is the best, and you can get it right away. But she may fly back to Dragon Island to the south to lay her eggs. If you are lucky, you may find some scales or brimstone. The books say that there are some people named dragon wizards in the southern islands. You can find real dragons by the smell of these things. Then, if you're... lucky, you can find the egg-laying mother dragon and ask her for some eggs."

"One is enough." Hyacinth said.

"Maybe she won't give you any." Estherite said with a smile.

At this time, someone knocked on the hot spring gate, "Master!" Bai Guo's voice came, "There are new pigeons coming!"

Isrit said, "Bring the crystal ball."

This time the pigeons came from the military situation from the perspective of the Mid Valley.The troops of Florus and Klaus are steadily advancing towards the valley where the descendants of the sea gods are. Isrit said: "It seems that the plan of the northerners is about to succeed. If you gamble, the descendants of the sea gods will definitely lose." At this point, Estherite frowned, "But how could the people in the bay make such a low-level mistake? Can't the little trident realize it?"

At this moment, the screen suddenly went black.Isrit slammed the table hard and said:

"Damn it! These pigeons are not obedient, they are either late or disappear suddenly! I will roast them all sooner or later!"

Hyacinth persuaded her a few words, then sat up from the stone bed, and said, "Sister, it's time for us to go out, the young master has to nurse again, right?"

"Yes, let's go."

The two left the Ancestral Spirit Spring. It was already afternoon. Yisruite went to feed the baby first, and then handed the baby to the nanny.Next, she will preside over the evening sacrificial ceremony and have a final meeting with the merchants.When everything was ready, it was already night.Hyacinth was not involved in these matters, she packed her luggage in the room, and then lay down on the big bed of Isrit.

"This is the last time I'll sleep with you, dear big bed." She lay on the bed and said to herself, "I'm leaving tomorrow!"

Yes, tomorrow we will start eating and sleeping in the wind again.Next is a long journey, drinking cold water, eating hard dry food, living in a bumpy caravan...

I want to find some people from my sister, she thought to herself, since I am looking for the real dragon, I must bring some good hunters.And I can't keep going with the caravan, they're not looking for dragons.

Also, I have to tell them the truth, I'm not a princess at all, I'm just a...just a...

Just a hyacinth.

She tossed and turned on the bed, and she didn't fall asleep until Estelle dragged her tired body into the room.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Estelle asked her.

"Yes, sister."

Isrit didn't speak, she took off her clothes in silence, put on her nightgown, and after finishing all this, she lay down next to Hyacinth and said, "To be honest...I...I really don't want you to go, sister. The real dragon is certainly a beautiful legend, but it is just a legend. You will get nothing in all likelihood, and you may even lose your life."

Hyacinth said: "When you came out, you never thought that you could become the spirit of the Earth Mother, sister. Destiny is very strange."

"I didn't expect that I would go through so many ordeals. I didn't expect that Master Hai Wen would be dead or alive. I didn't expect that my son would..." Her throat twitched, as if she was about to cry again.When it comes to children, she loses control of her emotions.

In the past, Hyacinth thought that Isrit was a perfect girl.She is smart, strong, brave, and kind... But after experiencing these things, the weakness of Estherite's character is also exposed: she is sensitive, pessimistic, emotional, and even a little neurotic.

This is also the only place where Hyacinth has the confidence to beat her.

Hyacinth, she can't do magic, and she's not very smart, but she can fall asleep anywhere and laugh when the situation is bad.She will never be crushed by suffering, never forget how to sing, how to laugh.

"Sleep, sister," she said.

So the two spent the last night, and the next morning, Hyacinth packed his bags and went to the caravan.Yisrit took her personal guards to see him off.The sisters hugged and wept at the gate of the city.

Before leaving, Estherite told Jon how to get out of the maze and assigned him a guide.Eight-fingered Jon is very grateful, and he swore to Isrit that he would never forget the gift of the Spirit of the Earth Mother.After that, Isrit gave him another bag of gold coins and told them to take good care of Hyacinth.Jon didn't want it at first, but Yisrit forced the money to him.

The convoy set off, and everyone was still immersed in the joy of the previous few days, talking and laughing.However, only Hyacinth was silent, she was thinking about how to tell everyone about Xunlong.All day she was unhappy.

In the evening, the convoy camped out in the wild.People sat around the bonfire, and Jon sighed: "The spirit of the Mother Earth really took us out of the maze. I know this road, and we will be able to get out of the swamp in one and a half days."

Hearing this, Hyacinth couldn't bear it anymore.She shouted: "I'm not going out, I'm going to the swamp to find the dragon!" After saying this, everyone's eyes turned to Hyacinth.She felt that she was being stupid again, but she still bit the bullet and said, "Yes... anyone wants to go with me?"

The people laughed, and Jon said, "Don't you be crazy, sit down and eat! Where's the dragon for you?"

But at this moment, someone suddenly said, "I'll go find it with you!"

The ranger stood up, he played a sword flower, and said: "Looking for the real dragon, that is the romance of the ranger, I can't miss it."

After he finished speaking, someone said, "I'm willing to go too!"

Seeing Adora stand up, everyone was stunned when they heard what she said.Especially eight-fingered Jon. "Are you going too?" He suddenly used his honorific title.

"I'm going." The female poet said firmly.

"Okay, then we'll go with you too," Jon said.

Chapter 9: The Red Moon Comes, [-]

Chapter 9: The Red Moon Comes, [-]

Grilas Vladimir Putin, the Monk of the Baylands, is now gazing at the ogre.

That is the most powerful one in the ogre troop. The ogres have a principle in terms of strength. The first principle: the bigger the body, the stronger it is.The second principle: the closer the appearance to the ancient demon refining human beings, the stronger they are.

As we all know, these fierce monsters were also living humans tens of thousands of years ago.After tens of thousands of years of dormancy, they twisted and transformed into such demons.Transformation has two extremes. The first one is excessive mutation, and this kind of person will become a very huge ogre, such as the obsidian ogre commonly used by Vulcan Cult; the second is to keep the original shape as much as possible, that is, that kind of humanoid ogre.

At this moment, this guy in the cage is very close to human.

He is two meters tall, with red skin and strong muscles.His facial features are also present, with a high nose bridge and flat lips, but his eyes have been blinded due to years of exposure to light, and they are covered with bandages.

He even has a name, called Kentien.

In this way, he is a human being.But the demon monk knew that his consciousness had almost disappeared, and he was just a crazy ghost now.Kentin is usually dormant, because the action consumes too much energy, and Putin will not wake him up until the critical moment.

Besides Kentien, there are other ghouls and ghast warriors in the army.These guys are the confidence of the descendants of the sea god to fight.

The fraudster is worthy of being a devil, and he can get so many fierce devils, Putin thought to himself.

What the devil is he trying to do?He messed up the Northern Territory, ruined Fenglei Castle, and at the same time intervened in the descendants of the Sea God.Maybe his purpose is to destroy the world?Does he want to destroy the world by human hands?

Mortals cannot understand the devil's thinking, so Putin gave up thinking.He knows the philosophy of existence, what to think and what not to think.

The army had already camped in the valley for three days, and the spies reported that the Silver Flower Knights of the Eastern Acropolis had built fortifications at the east exit of the valley and had blocked the valley.News came from the other side that the Mid Valley coalition forces were gradually approaching, and they were going to cut off the retreat of Putin's army.

The news spread like wildfire, and the Seagod Cultists had strong beliefs, so their morale was not greatly affected.But the mercenary regiment and the soldiers of the nobles can't do it. There have been many deserters in the past two days.Without exception, they were all caught and executed by Putin.

A group of idiots, the immortal monk thought to himself, where can you run to?The valley was blocked inside and out.

However, Putin is not afraid. Putin never fights uncertain battles. , the fraudsters need them to win, and with the assistance of this devil, they will never fail.

It's almost time, Putin thought, for reinforcements from Midvale to arrive.

Reinforcements, oh!

He first went to ask Lorelai for instructions.He came to the mermaid's tent, where the descendant of the sea god was combing his hair and cleaning his scales in a seawater bucket.Seeing Putin coming, the mermaid lay down beside the bucket and said, "Monk, are you done?"

"Everything is in order, we can start tonight."

"Okay." The mermaid changed her position and lay on her back beside the bucket.Seeing her lazy look, Putin couldn't help asking: "Mermaid, are your spells ready?" Usually Putin seems to obey Lorelai, but in fact they are at the same level.He is not polite in private.

"It's already done." The mermaid smiled, showing shark-like interlaced fangs.Her serpentine tongue slid across her lips, and she said, "When the army leaves, I will immediately detour to the east." Lorelai got out of the bathtub and dragged her wet fish tail to the outside of the tent. She looked at the sky and said , "Well...the network can be closed within three hours at most."

"Very well, we'll catch them all."

Lorelai laughed, "Monk, I think you are different from other hairless monkeys. When I build the capital, do you want to be my prime minister?"

Putin also laughed, "Let's talk about it when I can survive!" I also have to wait until you survive.

The two went to prepare for the next battle.Time passed, and soon it was dusk. Putin saw that the time was almost up, so he called the messenger and said, "Call the leaders of the camps."

After a while, generals from all walks of life gathered in front of him.There is Shanan, the fierce beast tamer, Andri, the mercenary leader, and eight generals who are the sons of the nobles.The people of the Sea God Cult are all under Putin's control, so they no longer set up generals independently.

"I'm giving an order now, listen carefully."

"Listen to the sound of the sea dragon's horn tonight. When the first horn is sounded, you will march west immediately. Take nothing but weapons and armor, and three days' individual rations. Leave everything else where it is. "

At this time Andri asked loudly: "West side?" The mercenary had a savage face, and roared with a fierce look, "You said we should retreat the same way? Are there no wars?"

Putin glared at him and said, "Now take my orders."

"Give me the money first! We are mercenaries, not your slaves."

"Listen to my order!" Putin roared with his eyes wide open, and the man was too frightened to speak.The demon monk has lived for 500 years, and he has cultivated some godheads.He can frighten the minds of mortals without using any spells.

No one dared to speak anymore, and Putin continued: "I want you to march westward, march freely without rearranging your formation in the first half of the night, and make sure to pretend to retreat in a hurry. Only in this way can we catch the enemies in the Eastern Acropolis."

The demon monk said to the vicious beast tamer: "However, the vicious demons must be concentrated, and no one is allowed to be left behind. They are still the main force of the battle. It will rain in the second half of the night tonight, and these treasures must not be lost." Then he ordered He said, "Jorry, Hardy Kahn, follow the Fiend convoy and guard the left and right flanks."

The beast trainer reminded: "My lord, if you give up the supplies, the ferocious monsters won't be able to fight for long. After one battle at most, these guys will fall into dormancy!"

Putin said: "March all night, we can see the enemy at dawn, the battle will not be too long - let these guys eat first!"

Then he spread out the sand table and asked someone to bring two flags.One flag has a black and red bat pattern on it, and the other has a black and white moon.He spread out the flag and showed it to the people.

"Look for these two flags. The black and red bat flag belongs to the Flowers family, and the black and white two-color flag belongs to the Klaus family. When you encounter the coalition forces, you will kill those who hold the black and white flags."

"In addition, each of your battalions will take ten black and red flags. At that time, we will not fly the flags of the Sea God Cult, but this one."

red moon falls, two

red moon falls, two

A little nobleman asked in a trembling voice: "You mean, do you want us to pretend to be members of the Flowers family?" The man had messy yellow hair and his eyes were always wet.He was Audrey Desen, the youngest son of the Earl of Ten Valleys.This guy has read a lot about the art of war, and he can also ride a horse and shoot arrows, but he has never fought a war.The battle two days ago made him vomit in fright, and he still hasn't recovered from it.Putin didn't want to bring this kind of guy, but he couldn't do it without him. He needed the support of the nobles in the Gulf.

"That's right, not only the flags have to be changed, but also the clothes. I prepared the cloaks of the Flowers family and put them on the soldiers later. When I got to the battlefield, I shouted slogans and said: 'Night is coming!'" "

Someone shouted: "We don't believe in alien gods!"

Putin slapped him angrily, and said, "Night God and Sea God are brothers!" Of course it was nonsense, "It is your honor to fight for him!"

People were too scared to speak, and Putin asked them: "Are there any questions? If you have any questions, ask them immediately, or I will continue."

No one answered, and people had doubts or panic on their faces. Putin thought to himself: a group of fish heads, if you don’t have a good brain, don’t think, you just need to obey orders.

Thinking is not necessarily a good thing, the more stupid people think, the worse things will be.

Putin went on to say: "This battle is very important. We must defeat the enemy. The most important thing is that we must not let the Duke of Wolves, Herland Klaus, go. Whether he lives or dies, he must remain in the This place—Shanan! When the time comes, release Kentien and ask him to capture the Duke."

Shan Nan trembled when he heard the word "Kentin", and he said loudly, "Yes, my lord!"

"During the battle, the knights of the noble soldiers will attack from the left and right, and the fierce demon troops and my Poseidon disciples will mainly attack the middle. The mercenary group is cut off—the head of the mercenary group!"

"Here!" cried the man named Andry.

"Send your men to plant explosives, and detonate them as soon as Silver Knight's pursuers approach."

Andry said: "Our explosives are not very powerful, and if it rains, they will be much less powerful. We can't fight the northerners with this thing!"

"I don't ask how many people will be killed, but this thing can delay time! If the Silver Flower Knight needs to beware of sneak attacks, his marching speed will definitely slow down! Our time for this battle is very limited, and we must wait until the Silver Flower Knight arrives. Go ahead and crush the Midvale army!"

"Let me remind you again! Leave food, iron pots, tents, siege engines, etc. where they are. Make it look like we are retreating in a hurry."

"Generals, repeat what I just said."

The generals repeated his instructions one by one, and after making sure they had memorized them, Putin said to the tent, "Deputy Priest, please descendants of the Sea God!"

Two blue-robed mages went in to invite Lorelai, and a moment later the mermaid came to the center of the crowd.Everyone saluted, and Putin said to her: "I'm ready here, Lord Lorelei, I'll leave the exit to you."

"It's a small matter." The mermaid smiled, showing her sharp teeth, "None will let go." After saying this, Lorelai chanted a spell, her body gradually atomized, and finally turned into a A cloud of mist flew into the sky.The people below were amazed at the supernatural power of the descendants of the sea god, and they all shouted "Long live".
