Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

After that, she walked towards the ring.The ring was surrounded by cat people, so she shouted: "Get out of the way, the Empire Ferris Wheel is coming!" She shouted, and the audience all looked at her.Immediately afterwards, Maria and Dadaras appeared on both sides of her, one was wearing sunglasses, the other was carrying a towel on his shoulder, one was yelling and cursing to drive away the audience, and the other was leading Gerrit to the stage.

Zhe Lite came to the edge of the ring, put her hands on the ground, and turned over.There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Standing on the ring was a sturdy orc over two meters tall. The guy was wearing needle-pricked leather armor, his muscles were bulging, and his biceps were as high as a rock was stuffed under his skin.At the moment he is flexing his muscles, flexing his muscles.Gerrit stood on the stage and said, "What's your name!"

The orc froze for a moment, but didn't speak.At this time, Maria said loudly in a whispering tone: "Gerette! I haven't made up a name for him yet!"

Zhe Lite turned her head and shouted: "Then make one up now!"

Maria thought for a while and said, "That's called charcoal-roasted pig's head!"

Then the orc raised his arms and shouted, "I am a charcoal-grilled pig's head!"

Dadaras climbed up, holding a gong and drum in his hand, and said loudly: "Charcoal-roasted pig's head vs. the Ferris wheel of the empire! Start!" He slammed the gong hard.

With a burst of gongs, the battle began.The charcoal-roasted pig's head preemptively struck Gerrit, saying, "The charcoal-roasted pig's head is going to eat your nose!"

Zhe Lite went up and was slapped in the face, and the orc was immediately slapped in the face.Immediately afterwards, she grabbed the orc's arm, and shouted, "The witch fell over her shoulder!" After saying that, she carried the huge orc on her back and threw it to the ground with a bang.The audience cheered, and she rode on the back of the orc and beat him hard.At this time, Maria shouted: "Don't kill me, I want to watch the witch spiral strangle!"

"Okay!" So Gerrit stretched out her legs to clamp the orc's body, and then grabbed his hand.At this time, Maria hissed and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary cross lock?"

"Look at it!" After saying this, Gellette assumed a posture that almost violated physics. She clamped the man between her legs, and then put her hands on the floor and stood upside down.The audience exclaimed, and Dadaras shouted: "Ferris wheel, the Ferris wheel of the empire!"

The current situation is: Gerrit stands on his head with his hands on the ground, and holds the enemy with his feet.Maria, who was outside the field, suddenly jumped onto the commentary booth and shouted loudly: "The spiral strangulation of witches is now!"

Gerette, suddenly spun her legs quickly—

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

She yelled, and the person on her feet spun like a top.Dadaras slapped the ring and shouted, "Is this the spiral strangulation of witches?"

Gelieta spun excitedly, she spun faster and faster, and the person on her feet also spun an afterimage.At this moment, she yelled: "Spiral!" She kicked the orc into the air with force, and the orc spiraled into the sky.

"Oh oh oh oh oh—!" Maria exclaimed excitedly.

Then Gelie knelt down on one knee, and when the orc fell down, a chokehold clamped the man's neck, and twisted in the opposite direction: click!The two forces converged, and the enemy's cervical spine couldn't bear this force, and it shattered on the spot.There was a gasp from the auditorium.

She stood up slowly, slowly raised her right hand, and the spotlight hit her, illuminating her cold face.

"This is the nirvana of liberal witches: spiral strangulation of witches!" Zerette said.

Dadaras rushed to the ring, raised her hand, and shouted loudly: "This is the Ferris wheel of the Empire! This is, the witch, the spiral, the strangulation——! A new champion is born, the Ferris wheel of the Empire! The Ferris wheel!" "

The audience shouted, "Ferris wheel! Ferris wheel! Ferris wheel! Ferris wheel!"

Geralte took the towel to wipe her face, and then posed in a brazen pose on the stage.At this time, Maria rushed to the stage and said, "Gerette, the Ferris wheel of the Empire! Yay!" The two touched fists.Maria exclaimed excitedly: "I'm sorry, I doubted you at first! Now I want to tell you, Gerrita! I've never seen a more liberal witch than you!"

"Each each other!"

At this time, Maria straightened her clothes and said, "Gerette, join my sect! Join the faction of the Witches of Truth, and let us become the strongest witches!"

Dadaras shouted: "Are you going to accept her as an apprentice?"

Zhe Lite was startled immediately, because Maria had officially accepted an apprentice in history, that is Dadaras.If she can also be a teacher...

But Mary said, "No, I won't take her as a disciple."

Gerrit asked: "Then you are..."

The Witch of Truth, Maria Mafa Masante, suddenly widened her eyes and shouted, "I want to worship you as my teacher, the Ferris wheel of the empire! Can you teach me how to kill witches with spiral strangulation?"

Gerrit burst out laughing, "Okay! Then show me a handstand first. The Witch of Truth!"

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

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

"It doesn't bother me!" Maria said and spun upside down on the stage.The people in the audience cheered loudly, and she turned around and shouted: "Dadalas, you come too!"

Although Dada Lasi looks old, his muscles and bones are not ambiguous compared with young people.She immediately turned on the stage, stood on her head, and shouted: "Witch!"

Maria, head down, yelled, "Spiral!"

Zhe Lite instantly stood upside down: "Strangle!"

Then the three of them started spinning wildly on the stage!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ah

The spotlights came down, the audience shouted hoarsely, and violent metal music blared from the sky.The music was deafening, and Maria twirled and shouted, "Let's dance, Liberal Dance!"

Geralte turned and shouted, "How do you dance?"

Dadaras yelled, "You can dance however you fucking like!"

Maria turned somersaults, snapped her fingers, and said, "Liberal witches, witches' night! Now, let's begin!"

The wrestling ring unfolded instantly, the floor spread like water, the spotlights began to flicker, and the stars and the moon twinkled in the sky.Colorful lights burst out from the amusement park, and then many ghosts appeared out of nowhere.The big ghost is as tall as a mountain, and the small ghost is more cute than a cat.Ghosts float in the sky, walk on the road, and lie on the ground... Tens of thousands of ghost orchestras play music in the sky, and then the ghosts on the ground dance with them.

Maria changed her posture, put on a leather tights and hard leather boots that rattled on the ground, and then began to dance.The Witch of Truth was shaking her head in the middle of the dance floor, her hair thrown high.

The ghost orchestra played heavy bass music, which made people's hearts pound.Gerrit jumped up following the rhythm, and the hundreds or thousands of ghosts around her also jumped together. They became notes jumping on the stave, a human wave.

"Maria—!" the Witch of Truth yelled her name, and the stage began to rise beneath her feet. "Freedom, witch, fuck—your mother——!" She pointed the middle finger to everyone.The ghosts below also groaned towards her, and then pointed their middle fingers.

The music became more and more frenzied, Maria Mafa Massente climbed to the highest peak of the stage amidst the tempest of drums, thousands of lights came down, and then the crowd danced along, ghosts lined up in an open space, Poses evil inverted pentagram.Maria stood in the air, the stage was full of flames, and lightning flashed across the sky. She shouted: "The Witch of Truth! The King of the World!"

Together, the ghosts yelled, "Fuck you! Ahhhh!" and they gave each other the middle finger.

At this time Dadaras grabbed Gellite and said, "We go up too, we go up too!"

Gerrit yelled at her, "What are we going to do?"

"Let's go up and sing! Let's go!"

Then they flew up.Gerrit is good at soprano, Dadaras has a devil-like roar, and Maria can sing a clear child's voice.The three of them sang together, without lyrics or fixed melody, they sang as they wished.

Screams, dances and howls, ferocious drums and cellos, thunderous metal noises and distorted guitars...

"This world is a piece of shit!" The Witch of Truth uttered her truth, "You and us are as good as shit! Carnival, liberals, let the devil and the angels see it, let the creator god Come to be jealous of your pleasure! Fuck-you, fuck-me, fuck this false world! Hahahahaha, truth is pleasure!"

Noisy night, burning sky, hundreds of millions of souls that are lower than shit are reveling in the world of truth, mourning to death, and living happily.

Chapter 22: The Beggar King and the Noble

In the quiet midnight, Haiwen wrote furiously.

He had torn up several drafts because he couldn't sit still.There is a flame in his heart, which beats every time he writes a word.He had to hold down that flame so hard that he could stay sane, otherwise the flame would jump to the letter, turn into words, and burn everything up.

Patience, he said to himself, suppress the flame.

About ten days ago, Haven sent a letter to every nobleman in the Reach.The letter expounded his thoughts: including strategic alliances, trade and tax cuts.He wanted to see the attitude of the nobles first.

Today, the Long Arm City of Ersi Fork Road sent a reply letter.

The letter was very unkind.

The letter first completely denied the status of the successor of King Haiwen, and then denied his status as a nobleman.The Lord of Longarm says he is ambitious and scheming.The man wrote in the letter: You were an earl picked up at first, and a proxy lord. Later, the little trident made you the lord of Pinewood Castle, but at that time, the little trident no longer had legal power.He is not a duke, much less a king, and he is not even a nobleman. He is not qualified to confer you, so your title is a fake.

Most of the words in the letter were talking about "noble blood", or they were threatening Haiwen not to act rashly.The letter stated that the nobles of the Reach had already formed an alliance.The four Earls of Ersi Fork Road, Forest Bay, Pirate Bay, and Valley have united together, and they are no longer under the control of the Little Trident, nor are they loyal to Fengleibao.The Reach is the Reach, and they are masters of the Four Rivers, with great lakes, canals, valleys, green fields, half-marshes, and outer harbours.

In the end, he also invited Haiwen to join the alliance, but the condition for joining was to pay a large amount of protection fees, and He also asked Haiwen to increase the tax revenue of his own territory, and re-entrust the land to at least ten nobles.

These nobles are already afraid of me, Haven thought, and they want me to weaken my power by returning the power of the people to the landowners.But they obviously haven't realized the true power of the revolution.Otherwise, they will come directly to attack me.

There are a total of six earls in the Reach, and four of them don't obey Windstorm Castle, so there are two more who obey.Maybe I'll talk more with those two, who are collateral blood relatives of Mundalia.They have obeyed Fengleibao for generations, and now they also obey the youngest son of the Marquis in name, maybe they will be willing to cooperate with me.

Hai Wen was busy all night, and finally wrote a reply.He sent the letter with the last hope, hoping that Ersichalu and other nobles in the river bend would change their minds.

The next morning, he posted it.Then I went to exercise and eat breakfast as usual. Haiwen is very strict in self-discipline and never lazy.Mirsalu was there during the morning exercise, and got up earlier than him.Obviously the little girl was serious.

Smiley Cat told Haven that since Razor taught her to manipulate metal with mind power, Mirsalu has made rapid progress in swords.Her ability to control weapons has been greatly improved. Generally speaking, swordsmen can only use their fingers to control daggers, but Mirsalu can also use mind power in addition to fingers.When she stabs people with a knife, she will use her mind to make up for the lack of strength; when she turns around and throws the knife backhand, she will let the knife lead her hand instead of pushing the knife with her hand.In this way, she can move faster than ordinary people.

Chapter 22: The Beggar King and the Noble

Smiley Cat said: "Mirsalu is very smart. She knew that she couldn't use her mind to control a large throwing knife like a razor, so she chose a clever method. She combined her mind with the moves in her hand to make the movements More precise, lighter hands and feet. My lord, I think in seven or eight years, she will be able to catch up with me."

"Seven or eight years?" Hai Wen asked with a smile, "Should I say you are humble, or should I say you are proud?"

The smiling cat shook her head and said, "Neither of them, this is my precise judgment. As long as she maintains this state of cultivation, then her martial arts will be equal to mine in seven or eight years."

Haiwen nodded and murmured, "Then where should she go next?"

The smiling cat was silent for a long time, and said: "That can only be decided by herself, my lord."

In the morning, Haven went to visit Brian the Bear and Darius the Warrior.The Cubs have almost recovered from their injuries and are already able to get out of bed and walk around.However, the samurai was so badly injured that he was still in bed.Hewen didn't have a very good doctor here either, and the nanny who stayed behind in Baiyi told him that the warrior Darithus still needs to go through another test before he can be completely out of danger.

Hai Wen first took a walk with Little Bear outside.Little Bear Brian was once a fierce general of Xiongshan Mountain. He could drink three catties of wine, eat four bowls of meat, command a strong horse, pull a big bow, defend a city, and charge in battle.A general with courage and strength.However, now he is staggering and needs to rest after walking dozens of steps, panting from time to time.Hai Wen really felt distressed.

This is my fault, Haven thought, I shouldn't have left Bear Mountain, I should have been wary of Tondane-Dreyer reminded me, but I ignored it.

Little Xiong talked to him, and he never left Xiongshan for three and a half sentences.He is a veteran of Bear Mountain. He swears allegiance to the Earl of Bear Mountain and guards the castle. He takes the oath more than anything else. The castle is lost, and he hurts more than anyone else.He first admitted his mistake and asked for punishment, and then asked Haiwen to send troops to take back Xiongshan.He also said that he was willing to play as a pioneer to apologize.

But how can he fight like this?And even if he can fight, Haiwen doesn't want to fight Xiongshan to make enemies now—no, it's not that he doesn't want to fight, Haiwen also wants to fight, but he can't.Haiwen is now holding a handful of tinder in his hand. This is the tinder of revolution. The flame is too small, he can't throw it in the wilderness, otherwise the fire will not start and the flame will disappear.

I have to continue to be patient, he advised himself, but the flame in his heart was beating.

The first revolution didn't go out of Mustang Land, and the second time it stopped at Bear Mountain. He didn't want to fail again and fall in Pinewood Castle the third time.

The time didn't come before, but now the time is ripe, as long as you endure it, he said to himself, but the flame is still burning.

He comforted Brian the Bear, telling him not to worry or be discouraged, but to rest up his spirits before talking.Brian agreed with a smile, and then said that he would go for a walk by himself.Looking at his hunched back, Hai Wen felt quite heartbroken.

Then Haven made another trip to Darithesna.

The samurai was bed rested, but in good spirits.Haven came, and the two of them could still talk.The warrior said to him: "Master, I will not come back after I leave this time. Bear Mountain is the last stop of my practice. I want to return to my hometown and become an honorable warrior."

Haven asked him, "What will you live on when you go back?"

"A samurai who has been on tour is a real samurai, Murphys..." He hesitated, "Someone will hire me."

Haiwen said: "I heard that the Murphys are now controlled by the clan, and the people are in dire straits. The warriors have fallen into power disputes and become political tools. Darius, is that true?"

Darithus didn't answer, but the silence said it all.

Haiwen nodded and said, "I'm just asking casually."

Then Dariuses raised his head and asked, "My lord, you are said to be the king of beggars and slaves, and the king of the free and the poor."

"Yes."

"You control the life and death of the poor."

"Yes."

"Then you don't care about the poor people outside your territory?" The samurai's voice was heavy.

Haven said: "I will take care of the poor all over the world."

"Then I ask you to go to the gravel field and help my compatriots." He said very fast, "I..." He coughed twice, "A warrior's sword can only kill, but not save .I don’t know how to save the Murphys, but you must understand. Go there and see, the poor need wealth, and soldiers need faith. You can give them all.”

"I will definitely go." Haven promised him.

It was already afternoon after coming out from Darithus, and this afternoon, someone sent a letter.The letter was from the Satria family.The Satteria family is a collateral blood relative of Mondalia, and they belong to the Fengleibao family.Count Satria was not as unreasonable as the people in the River Bend.At least his words are ambiguous, and he has some ideas of cooperation.

Indeed, Haven thought to himself, Satteria's territory was almost surrounded by nobles from the Reach, and the opening facing me was his only way out.If he doesn't fight for my ally, or if my ally falls to the forces of the Reach, then he is finished.

But Satria's conditions were not simple, he wanted Haiwen to accept the conferment of Fenglei Castle and become the earl of Fenglei Castle.Of course, the protection fee cannot be less.The letter also asked him to come to the Mid Valley in person, and Earl Satria wanted to have a face-to-face interview with him.

To be honest, none of the nobles in Haven wanted to unite.No matter what the conditions are, the people who suffer are the people, and the poor who support him.

Haiwen's hand holding the pen was shaking.

Do I just have to compromise with these nobles?I am the king of beggars and slaves, how can I be with them?No, it doesn't matter if you are in the same boat, they treat me like a dog!

Patience, patience, Haiwen thought of Delaire's advice again, yes, maybe I should endure for another five or six years, until my territory is mature... But this means that in these five years, I have to assist those The nobility went to oppress the people.

He slammed his fist on the table hard.

The fire is burning again.

He took a sip of cold water to calm himself down.For some reason, he had a terrible premonition that he was about to lose control.

Maybe it's because I've tried everything, I've talked with the nobles from the very beginning, I've talked with Bagu, I've talked with Xiawan, I've talked with Fengleibao, but I can't get what I want.

Maybe I should...
