Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

In this way, the Sand Scorpion killed exactly 6299 people.

"Okay, lieutenant general, let's include these people. These are the survivors of this siege, 6299 people."

The deputy will collect them, and the rest will return to the team, leaving only a pile of corpses.

Ba Gu was dumbfounded.

The Overlord of the Bayland hadn't seen such a thing since he could remember, and this was the first time he was so shocked.Holding the contract in his hand, looking at the number 6300 on it, he felt extremely ironic.

The sand scorpion came towards him.

"You are not joking, the king of the Bayland." Sand Scorpion said to him, "The contract is written in black and white. You pressed your fingerprint and signed it, and now the contract is effective. Unfortunately, there are only 6299 people left in the end. You can't do anything about it." Take Castle Sword and Shield."

"Fuck your mother." Bagu said in a deep voice.

Sand Scorpion looked at him and said, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

The smell of blood rushed to his face, Bagu glanced at the corpse on the ground, and thought: If I repent now, I will not be able to get Fort Sword and Shield.And the sand scorpion had to kill me.He has the courage, and he will definitely be able to do it.

No matter how strong I am, I can't tear apart a hundred thousand troops.

Ba Gu sneered and said: "Panaf the Shaxie, I have never admired anyone's skills in my life. This time, you have made me admire."

Sand Scorpion said: "I am very honored to be praised by the Overlord of the Gulf."

Ba Gu handed the contract to him: "Okay, the contract is valid, and you win."

Sand Scorpion put the contract into his arms, and then said to Bagu: "I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with, King of the Gulf, please forgive me." After saying that, Sand Scorpion turned and left, ordering people to clean up the battlefield.

Ba Gu looked at his back and thought to himself: Fuck you!Everyone says I'm the mad king, but in my opinion, this is the fucking mad king!

Sand scorpion Panav, hehe, interesting.

It is estimated that my plan to crusade against the Western Regions will be postponed for a few years.

"Your Majesty, the leader of the Vulcan Cult, a letter from Exlid."

"Bring it!"

The Mad King sat on a chair, tapping his fingers on the table restlessly.

Sword and Shield fell, Bullland was slain, and even his ghouls were defeated.There are also rumors that Baku Kahn is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord - I can go to hell with you!Why is everything coming out?

The servant handed the letter to him, and he tore it open, and saw that it read:

Your Majesty, Castle Sword and Shield has fallen, and you must be aware of it.But there's a scary thing here: there are rumors that Bowle Kahn can command fiends.

Your Majesty, the fiend only recognizes one master.Magicians rely on "deception spells" to make ogres obey them.

The magic of other mortals cannot command the ogre.

Unless this person is not mortal.

It is rumored that Baku Kahn is the incarnation of the devil, so be careful.I send someone to give you three thousand demon-breaking arrows, which can weaken the magic power of the demon king and kill him.

The Demon Sealing Ceremony is being held in Fire City, and I need to use all the strength of the [-] believers in the city to suppress the ancient demons, so I don't have any extra soldiers to support you.Also please forgive me.

The Mad King thought to himself: This is nonsense again.Demon Sealing Ceremony?Why don't you say that the Creator God has come?

Besides, if Ba Gu really came into the world as a demon god, he would have already driven away the fierce demons to cause disasters, why did he wait until now to launch troubles?Most likely Bullland and the others lost their morale after being killed, so they fabricated rumors to scare people.

The mad king didn't care at first, but the last sentence in the letter made the mad king alert.

"You must beware of this low-probability event. Even a low-probability event may happen. And once it happens, it will be irreversible!"

That makes perfect sense, thought the Mad King.

So he ordered his servants to distribute the arrows and hand them all over to his paladins.These people are the most elite troops under the command of the Mad King, good things must be reserved for them.

Eagle Head City is ready, and the Mad King can fight another Mad King to the death at any time.

Come on, come on, come on, Bowle Kahn!

Under Eagle Head City, either you die or I die!

Chapter 26: Hard to find reinforcements (attachment: the inner world of truth)

No.? ?Chapter: The Inner World of Truth (?)

More than three hours have passed, and the Witch of Truth is still playing guitar on the stage, and hundreds of millions of ghosts are shaking their heads and stomping along.Gerette sang high notes in bel canto, and Dadaras howled like a devil.

Those two were okay, but Gelie got a little tired from singing, she was a witch after all, not a singer.She said to Maria: "Master! I think it's time for us to call a curtain call!"

"Okay!" Maria tossed her hair, "Then at the end, the song 'The Witch is the Most Free' is dedicated to everyone present here!"

Maria Mafa Macente played and sang by herself, and there was nothing like Gerrit and Dadaras.As soon as Maria came forward, the ghosts began screaming with excitement.As soon as she sang, many ghosts cried out excitedly.

Maria used the elven language of ancient times, and Gerrit couldn't understand it, but she could feel the deep sadness in the song.This kind of feeling is like a wanderer who left home, like a lost child, like a small animal whose mother died, like a dandelion floating on the sea...

After a song was sung, Maria bowed and took a bow, and Gerrit and Dadaras followed suit.Then the lights went out, the music stopped, and everything returned to calm.After more than three hours of music carnival, Maria also showed fatigue on her face.Dadaras asked out of breath, "Master, can I go now..."

"Shut up!" Maria said. "The carousel is next."

Dadaras stared at her in surprise, and said, "Children only play on carousels!"

Maria lay on the ground and rolled Sapo, "I was a child! I'm going to ride a big horse!"

So they had to go ride the merry-go-round.

Then there are circus performances, shooting range shooting and ghost hunting...

When will this play, it's almost a whole night!

Chapter 26: Reinforcements Are Hard to Find

Midvale Castle, City of Migratory Birds—

Haven Ambleside is negotiating with the earl of Migratory Bird City, Harlan Satteria.

Negotiations have been going on all afternoon, but there is still no result.

Haiwen expected that the other party might have an arrogant attitude, but he never expected it to be this level.

Earl Harlan is a bitter and mean man. He has inherited the shrewdness of the Montalia family.It was a headache for Hai Wen to negotiate with him.

Relying on Fengleibao behind his back, this person dared to ask for a price, and he could say that he wanted to take [-]% of Haiwen's tax.

But Haiwen also knew the other party's needs.The opponent needs Haiwen's troops to protect him, otherwise he will be surrounded by the River Bend.

"Ambside, I understand your predicament, and I know your request, but, you must know, the Reach will not give you these things, even if I do, no one else will. Your asking price is too low Got it, do you know?" The earl raised his legs on the table arrogantly, "And, you said an alliance? Sorry, we can do business, but an alliance, hehe, can't be done."

Haven asked him, "Why can't we form an alliance?"

Harlan raised the corner of his mouth and raised his beard, "Have you ever heard of an alliance between nobles and commoners?"

Yes, I'm not an aristocrat, I never wanted to be an aristocrat, I just want to drink the noble's blood and eat his flesh!

"I am the Earl of Xiongshan, and I still have the war robe of the former king. I represent Chauvin III." Haiwen said calmly.

Harlan shook his head and said, "No, you're not, Haven Ambleside, you're just the lord of Bear Mountain, acting Earl. Besides, you don't fucking have Bear Mountain anymore, do you?"

"I still have Pinewood Castle."

"Can this sublimate your bloodline? Oh, my lord, nobility is a tradition, a heritage, a noble etiquette and blood!" He slapped the table and said, "I was born as a commoner and will always be a commoner. It doesn't matter if you have a castle. He became a nobleman. What's more, haha! Pinewood Castle? That's the nest that the little trident gave you, what is the little trident? We don't recognize him!"

Fuck you, Hai Wen was shaking with anger.At this time, the smiling cat gently pushed him with the hilt of the sword, signaling him to calm down.

After that, the two did not budge, and just talked for a day.

At the end of the day, there was no progress at all, but Hai Wen was physically and mentally exhausted.He returned to the guest room of the castle, and fell on the big soft velvet bed.Looking at the patterns on the ceiling, he thought to himself: These nobles are greedy and short-sighted, and they don't do things lightly at all.Most importantly, they are defiant.

I shouldn't be wasting my time here.

While I was wrangling with him, my people were starving and war was raging across the land.

For every day I spend here, the revolution is one day late.

Haiwen's heart became more and more restless, his emotions were very unstable these few days, and he nearly lost control several times.If it wasn't for the smiling cat reminding him, he might have turned the table over.

Calm down, must be calm, he thought to himself, I must have these allies, otherwise I will be powerless against the Little Trident and the Northerners in the future.

Negotiations went on for another three days, and Harun Satria finally agreed to his request after Haiwen's fierce verbal confrontation.Haven bought a batch of armor and weapons from Harlan at a low price, and also got a three-year tax-cut contract.

However, Haven also paid a huge price.He paid gold, food, and signed a military protection treaty that was very unfavorable to him. This treaty required him to intervene in the civil war in the Reach as soon as possible, and unconditionally support Fengleibao.

This will drag him into the quagmire of war.Every civil war in the Reach is a conflict of interests among the nobles, a dirty fight between dogs and dogs.Haven didn't want his warriors to bleed in a place like this.

All in all, the negotiations are over.He too was finally able to return to Pinewood Castle.

Along the way, Haiwen was very tangled.He felt that he had been teased by these nobles, and he had been teased a lot.

The smiling cat persuaded him: "My lord, this is how you talk to nobles, you have to get used to it."

"I don't want to get used to it."

"The overall situation is the most important thing... Ah, this is not what I should say, but if the steward is still here, he will definitely persuade you. We really need the River Bend now. The River Bend has money and can provide us with Weapons, and convenient transportation..."

"I understand the truth!" Haiwen gritted his teeth and said, "But I don't want to be with the nobles!"

"Just for a while." The smiling cat said with a smile.

Haven didn't answer him.

After returning to Pinewood Castle, he received many more letters.The nobles of the Reach continued to ask him to negotiate—all let him pass, but none said they wanted to come to him.

Haven slams his fist on the table—not the revolution he wanted.

Revolutionaries should not negotiate terms with nobles.

Chapter 27: Swamp Threesome, One

Chapter 27: Swamp Threesome, One

at lunch time.

Razor, Netway, and Lilith, three of them dining on the deck.

The food for the sailors was very simple, but Dreyer still prepared them as thoroughly as possible.There are cured meats, pickles, fresh fish, dried mushroom soup, and all kinds of condiments.

Today is Lilith cooking again.

Lilith proposed to cook for Razor last night, because she felt that the food on board was too poor.However, the sailors have a rule that no women are allowed on board, and women are not allowed to enter the kitchen, so the razor has never offended.However, Lilith begged repeatedly, but he had no choice but to talk to Dreyer about it.

Dreyer, never superstitious and reasonable, agreed immediately.

So Lilith started to cook for Razor—she only cooks for Razor, and other sailors don't have this good fortune. According to her, she is a noble nightmare princess, and mortals in the fifth era are not qualified to eat the food she cooks.

"Only you can do it!" She cocked her tail and pointed her index finger on the nose of the razor, "Lilith's loving cooking is only prepared for you alone."

"Excuse me, give Knightway a copy too." Razor said blankly.

"I don't eat!" Netway squinted at him, "I eat the same as the sailors."

Lilith borrowed a pot, and then used her magic power to start a fire without taking up the stove, so she could start cooking anywhere.There are not many ingredients, but she still cooked it well.

Demon refining civilization is already advanced, and it is also a civilization that places special emphasis on culture. Cuisine, as a part of culture, is also very advanced.

There are four dishes for a big fish: the tail of the fish is first fried and then roasted, with five kinds of spices, and the aroma is tangy; Nightmare's special love sauce", and finally the fish scales are made into fish scale jelly.

The most frightening thing is that she removed all the fish bones, not a single thorn.

"I'm afraid you'll get stuck in your throat." She was coy, with a coquettish tone.

In addition, there are some appetizers, and the cured meat is also reprocessed by her, cut into small pieces, and fried with fire, it becomes salty and delicious.

This guy is quite capable, Razor couldn't help thinking, why didn't I want her in my previous life?Why not?
