Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"What if he dares?"

"Then let Kilpus's fleet teach him how to be a man." Lan Zuo said, "Our navy has been waiting for more than a month, and it is estimated that the captain's wine will be finished."

Ba Gu put away the stone and said, "I have two more things to ask you."

"You said."

Bugu said: "The first thing, has Hegson caught that person?" A few days ago, Hassan Heron's adopted son, Slen Mulister, led a team of cavalry, constantly harassing Bugu's logistics The army caused him a lot of trouble.Later, the surrendered general Hegson volunteered to capture the knight, but he never came back.Ba Gu always thinks about this matter. He is not afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards, but he hates flies and mosquitoes very much.

Lan Zuo said: "Hegson said he captured six and killed eleven, but the principal culprit let go. He said he was willing to accept the crime, but I didn't punish him."

Bugu nodded, and said: "He has done better than Karen. I didn't punish Karen, and I shouldn't punish him. The military law should treat them equally—well, tell him to continue arresting people, I I always feel that this man named Silen will cause trouble."

Lan Zuo said: "I have told him to go, but it may not be possible to catch him. He said that Silun has a good horse named West Wind. This horse is one of the best in the northern region, and Hassan Heron's car is not as good as it. There are no better horses in our army, and we must not be able to catch up."

"Forget it, leave him alone," Ba Gu waved his hand, "Lan Chu, I still have something to ask you."

"You said."

Bagu said, "I'll ask you the second thing, why hasn't the Vulcan Sect made any moves?"

Lan Zuo seemed to be smiling wryly. He said, "The Vulcan Cult...the Vulcan Cult is actually an outsider in this war."

Bagu asked him, "How do you say that?"

Lan Zuo said: "The nobles have never understood one thing, and that is why the Vulcan Cult wants to participate in politics."

Bagu said, "Of course it's for power."

Lan Zuo said: "It's not about power, it's for the benefit of the Vulcan Religion, which is another kind of benefit."

Bagu frowned, took a sip of his wine and said, "Don't go around in circles, just speak straight."

Lan Que nodded and said: "I didn't understand this matter before, but after I communicated with Dadaras once, I finally figured it out. Your Majesty, the Vulcan Cult relies on the northern border only because the northern border can give them fire. The Citadel of God and enough money. Their needs end here. As long as they can get the Citadel of Vulcan and money, the Vulcan Cult is willing to make a little effort to fight for Eagle Head City and train them some mages or monsters .”

Ba Gu wondered: "Is this enough? I don't believe it, Exlide and those fanatics, they are definitely not satisfied with a castle and some small money. They have ambitions and strength, I think they are just enduring, If they find an opportunity, they will rebel."

Lan Yu said: "Your Majesty, you are right to think so. The nobles all think so, so the little king has been wary of the Vulcan Cult. This time, the coalition forces in the Western Regions were actually used to restrict the Vulcan Cult, but this army Let Putin's people instigate rebellion—ah, let's put it aside, what I want to tell you now is: Vulcan Cult doesn't care about secular wars, what they care about is something that doesn't belong to this era."

Ba Gu squinted his eyes and said, "Does it refer to a fierce demon?"

"It refers to a terrifying ancient secret realm." Lan Zuo said, "I learned from the secrets of liberal witches that a huge second era relic was discovered in the north more than 600 years ago, and there is a hidden alchemy in this relic. The treasure of civilization. Some people built a temple on it in order to hide this secret place, and founded the original ancient god sect, which is the predecessor of the Vulcan religion. Later, the temple gradually expanded and became the current Huo God sect. The Castle of God. More than 300 years ago, the Heworth family ruled the northern territory. The Vulcan Castle did not make any resistance at that time, but surrendered directly, so it was preserved. Later, in order to continue to protect this secret place, the talents of the Vulcan Sect served the Northern Territory for generations. king of the border."

"So the Vulcan Cult just wants to guard this secret place?" Ba Gu put down his wine glass and leaned forward, "What valuable treasure is there?"

Lan Zuo smiled and said, "The things here can't be measured by money. If I said that Exlid is the same person as Kasika, the Lord of Fire 500 years ago, would you believe it?"

Bugu said: "I won't believe what others say, but if you say..." He touched his chin, "Little bastard, do you mean to say that the secret of immortality is hidden in Vulcan Castle?"

Lan Zuo said: "I don't know either. But I can be sure that as long as the flames of war don't reach Vulcan Castle, then the Vulcan Cult will not be willing to fight. The northern border? The Gulf? Fanatics don't care about these things."

Ba Gu smiled and said: "Haha! Then I will conquer this city, and I will live forever!"

Lan Chu glared at him, and said, "If you fight now, you won't live forever, you'll just die suddenly on the spot—ah, His Majesty the King who is strategizing."

Ba Gu slapped his thigh and said, "I didn't say to fight now! When I enter Eagle Head City, rape the little king's concubine, kill his whole family and men, and then go to fight Vulcan Castle."

"Every city in the north must be fought. It's just a matter of order. Attacking the city is not important, but attacking the heart is the most important. Your Majesty, you often say that fighting is about courage. In other words, fighting is about people's hearts. Your Majesty , we only need one step now, and we can smash the hearts of the northerners."

Ba Gu nodded and said, "Your Excellency Lan Zuo," he changed into this formal title, "I have read your tactical report, but I can't understand it."

"You say."

"First you wanted to tear apart the defense system of the Northern Guards, and then you said you wanted me to raid Bullland, and now you want to smash people's hearts. My prime minister, isn't your appetite a little too big?"

Lan Que said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these three things are mutually contained and completed at the same time. The northerners have three psychological defense lines. If two lines are broken, the battle is basically lost. The first line is the invincible military god. Hassan Heron, this line of defense can be said to have been defeated by us, or it can be said that it was dismantled by the little king. In short, it is gone; the second line of defense is the three major dukes in the north, the first duke Bean Lastor was betrayed by the little king and used blood sacrifices in exchange for reinforcements from the extreme north; the second duke was defeated by the descendants of the sea god, and the wolf city was in a hurry, so there was no hope; the third duke, that is Bullland of the mountain city, Your Majesty, once you defeat Bullland, the mentality of the northern nobles will completely collapse..."

Ba Gu interjected, "I can't promise to kill him. If he retreats to Fort Sword and Shield, then I have nothing to do with him."

"Then all you have to do is siege the city."

"The food and grass in Sword and Shield Castle is very sufficient, we may not be able to consume it."

"But Bullland's confidence is not very high." Lan Chu laughed, "He knows that the little king doesn't trust him. The little king first took his son as a hostage, and then called Panav to be his ally— — is both an ally and a shackle. Bullland has been chilled for a long time. What you need to do is to make him chill even more."

Ba Gu nodded, "Go ahead and tell me the whole plan."

Lan Zuo said: "When you besiege the city, you need to point the most vulnerable place in the direction of Eagle Head City."

Ba Gu said, "Even if I point my ass at Eagle Head City, the little king won't dare to open the city gate."

Lan Zuo said: "That's right! Ah, I didn't mean to ask you to take off your pants to Eagle Head City, what I mean is: the little king is very suspicious and will only think that this is a strategy to lure the enemy, he will never Open the door. But when Bullland saw it, he would only think: the little king is weak, and the little king doesn’t care about his safety. He would feel that such a monarch has no value of allegiance. Of course, these are not enough. I will also send someone to lobby Bull Rand surrendered, promising him all kinds of benefits."

Ba Gu said: "I think this plan is not ready yet. If Bullland is really determined to defend the city, what shall we do?"

Lan Zuo pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I have other plans. First, I still have a few killers in Eagle Head City, and I will send them to assassinate Bullland's son. Du Miao, once this child dies, Bullland will definitely go crazy. Either fight Eagle Head City with us, or lead troops out to fight us, but no matter which one, we can take care of him."

Ba Gu asked him, "What if the assassination fails?"

Lan Zuo replied: "Then carry out the second plan, abandon Eagle Head City and Sword and Shield Fort, and come back to me with reinforcements, and we will work together to attack the Northern Guards. If we really come to this point, it must be a war It's a fierce battle. You have also seen the strength of the northern guards, and if you attack from the north, it means that you may be attacked by Bullland in the back, which is something I do not want to see."

Ba Gu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of them. The Double Acropolis blocked the way, so I demolished it. If Bullland came, I killed him."

"No matter what, Bullland and the Northern Guards, these are the last two lines of defense in the northern border. As long as one can be broken, the little king will be finished."

"It's over?" Ba Gu smiled incredulously, "Is this the end? The northern border? It's like a dream."

Lan Chu shook his head and said: "The little king is finished, it's just the beginning of a war, Your Majesty, this war...I think it will take ten years to end it."

"Well, the northern border is so big that it can't be defeated in a year. We are fighting now and looking at the prestige, but in fact we haven't captured a single city."

Lan Yu nodded and said: "The mobilization ability of the northern border has not yet been revealed. What is the scariest place in the northern border? It is not these military gods, knights, and nobles, but it has a vast territory and a large population. If the northern border Civilians from all over the world joined the battle one after another, so... don't say a hundred thousand, an army of one million can be formed, Your Majesty, an army of one million, even if you are exhausted, you can't finish it."

"Yes." Bagu smiled wryly.

northward, three

Lan Que stood up, looked at the map on the wall, and said, "Northern border, northern border, that little king can make good decisions, and he can be regarded as a character, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the courage of a king."

Ba Gu sneered, and said: "He really spoiled the gift given to him by the heavens. The heavens gave birth to him in the royal family and made him a king, but he didn't cherish it. This kind of person deserves to die."

Lan Que looked at Bugu but didn't speak. Then he came to the door of the big tent, looked at the barracks outside, looked towards the north, and said, "Your Majesty, ruling the world is only our first step."

Ba Gu raised his head, "Oh? Then what do you say is the second step?"

"It's to save the world." Lan Zuo said solemnly, "We want to save this fragmented world from the Three Great Demon Kings and the Great Annihilation, Your Majesty. No one else can do this, only you and I can do it."

Bugu said: "I only want to be a king, but I don't want to be a savior. I only know how to fight."

Lan Zuo was silent for a moment, and said: "That's enough, Your Majesty the peace-loving king. After you smash all the enemies, I will have a way to save this world."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you." Ba Gu didn't say anything more.

Back to this moment, Overlord was riding a horse, constantly recalling what Lan Zu said in his mind.

Lan Zuo is a strange person, he has many identities, Bagu knows that he is the prince of White Bird City, knows that he is the leading scholar there, and knows that he is the only liberal wizard, but Lan Zuo obviously has other secrets, these A secret not even Bowle Kahn knew.

Lan Yu obviously knew something about the ancient times, about the legendary civilization, the first four epochs, and the mass extinction.He is different from Bugu. Bugu Kahn fights for the purpose of becoming the king and hegemony, while Lan Zuo's pursuit seems to be higher.

Bagu realized that he was superstitious about this person.In many cases, he didn't understand Lan Chu's soul, nor could he see the true meaning behind Lan Chu's smile.

So why on earth did I choose to trust him?Ba Gu shook his head and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

Ah, maybe it's because he trusts me.

He can entrust his life to me, how can I live up to him?

The poet said: The king must be lonely and widowed.

It seems that I am not the king they say!

Ps: About Lan Zuo's name for Bagu.

Lan Zuo often switches between "you" and "you" when referring to Bagu. This is not due to a clerical error, but is determined by Lan Zuo's personal characteristics.When Lan Zuo called him "you" on formal occasions and mocked Bagu, he would also say "you" on purpose; but he would say "you" in private.

【Number? ?Chapter: The Other World of Truth, II]

After walking for a few minutes, the three witches came to the entertainment area.

Gerald originally thought that the entertainment area was filled with bands, taverns, casinos and brothels, but unexpectedly, it was a huge amusement park.There are ferris wheels tens of meters high, merry-go-round horses that rise and fall with music, fountains that twist like living creatures, puppet shows that perform in loops, lively zoos, circuses, theaters, street magicians who juggle, Clowns selling fancy snacks, shooting ranges, trebuchets, ring games, racetracks, garden mazes...

This is luxurious enough, thought Gerrit, I've just had my fill, and it's not bad to play here for a while.

But Dadaras felt very bored, and she asked Maria, "Where's my black-skinned elf hunk?"

The Witch of Truth, Maria Mafa Macent, let out a malicious, high-pitched sneer, and then said: "My God, Dadaras, my apprentice, didn't I teach you Amusement park? Be sure to save the most fun for the last! You should play to your heart's content first, and then go to your big bird elf! Think about it, you can't walk until you play, Sweating all over your body, you took off your clothes at this time, and jumped into the hot spring with a 'plop'. The hot spring is boiling and hot, and the steaming steam will soften your old flesh and bones. Then, Come some big, tall, shiny, slippery dudes, pick you up out of the water, put you on a big mattress, let them rub you with essential oils, massage your pectoral muscles, press your thighs and ass, press it Your stiff muscles, curvy old waist and shriveled tits, hahahahahaha! Dadaras, you are a fucking fried loofah, hahaha!"

With a scream of pleasure, Dadaras hugged herself and said, "Maria, you bitch! You little bitch! I'll give you three ten minutes, three ten minutes later, I want to meet my hunk."

"Aha! You hungry and thirsty loach, it really was I who ate too many mushrooms for you. What about my other apprentices? Why are you here?"

Dadaras tore his hair and shouted: "Don't fucking talk about anything else, I want a man! I! I want! A man! Son!"

Maria hit her with her shoe and yelled, "Listen to me, you wrinkled old tomato!"

While they were joking, Gerette had already climbed on the Ferris wheel. "I want to ride this!" she yelled. "Give me a beer and some mushrooms. I want to see the whole picture of this amusement park."

Hearing this, Maria and Dadalas looked at each other and smiled—it was the kind of grinning mockery, and Gerrit asked, "What are you laughing at!"

Maria said: "I just think, you are too normal, are there any decent witches like you in the liberal faction? I think my faction is going to die."

That's insulting, Gerrit thought, I've never been described that way.I thought I was crazy enough, but I didn't realize my skills were not enough!

"The Ferris wheel is something for children!" Maria, who looked like a little girl, put her hands around her mouth, and shouted to Gerritta, "You are an adult, and an adult is going to play—" She clapped her hands Pointing, "That!"

which?Gerette looked over there, and saw that there was a ring, and there was a pair of gladiators fighting in the ring.There are many cat people cheering and shouting below.The screams came along with the cheers, the gladiators fell down, some cat people cursed angrily, and some excitedly slapped the ring.

Gerrit asked Maria: "This? What's so interesting about this? Are you saying that gambling is fun?" She laughed a few times and said, "I used to always play with money, and I was very good. Skilled, and never greedy, I have a principle! Once I bet on the shoes, no matter whether I win or lose, I will not continue to gamble. So I win more and lose less.”

Maria smiled and said, "It's boring to see! It's interesting to fight by yourself, Gerrit, have you learned the free witch fighting technique?"

【Number? ?Chapter: The Other World of Truth, III]

Gerrit patted her chest and said, "Of course! How can a witch know how to fight?"

Maria clapped her hands and asked excitedly, "What have you learned?"

Zerette said while putting on a posture: "I have learned the witch's shoulder throw, the witch's one-inch fist, and the witch's dive... There are so many! Oh, and the witch's spiral strangulation!"

Maria pointed at her and scolded: "You bastard, there is no such thing as 'witch spiral strangulation' in witch fighting!"

Gellette made a face at her, then twirled her index fingers at her, and said, "That's the killer trick I comprehended, of course you don't, how about I show it to you, to open your eyes, The Witch of Truth Maria Mafa Macent!"

Maria danced excitedly, "I want to see, see, see, see! I want to see the spiral strangulation of witches, show me the show!"

Gelette said, "Do you want me to fight in that ring?"

Maria said: "Yes, yes, you go, I will turn you into an orc for you to fight, and you can perform a spiral strangulation of witches for me!"

Geralte tugged on her robe and said, "My clothes are inconvenient!"

Maria snapped her fingers and said, "It's convenient now!"

With the sound of snapping fingers, Gerrit's clothes changed.That robe became a leather bodysuit, shorts, and boots.There is an extra mask on the face and fingerless gloves on the hands.Gelie stretched her neck and said, "Well, that's good!" As she spoke, she strode towards the ring.

"Wait!" Maria stopped her.

"What?"

"A gladiator should have a scary nickname. What's your nickname?"

Geralta said, "I don't have a nickname!"

Maria said: "Okay, then I'll make you one...well... let's call it..." She looked up at the Ferris wheel, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Just call it, the Ferris wheel of the Empire!"

"Good name!" Gerrit punched her fists, "From now on, I'm the 'Ferris Wheel of the Empire'!"
