Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Violet said: "No, that is a very kind man. He didn't betray me, he..." Violet bit her chapped lips, "He may be dead. Our castle was captured by the enemy, and I escaped come out."

"Don't talk about it, take a good rest later, and I'll ask you when you get better." Mammy said with a smile.

After saying this, Mammy packed up her things and went out. After a while, she came back and gave Violet a stack of blankets.Then Violet fell into a deep sleep, this time she was not dreaming.It was already afternoon after waking up, and she still had a fever, but she felt hungry and thirsty.She sat up slowly and saw a pot of clean water, bread, salt and medicinal soup on the bedside.

She drank water and felt much better.Then Mammy came in and said, "How do you feel?"

"I'm better," she said.

Mammy nodded and said, "Then you..."

At this time, the slave owner broke in, and he said to Violet sullenly, "We're leaving in three days, and you only have three days. No matter what, you have to go when the time comes."

Mammy said, "Three days is not enough for her to recover."

"But my purse won't last the fourth day, Mammy."

After saying this, the slave master left, and the mammy sighed, and she said to Violet, "Poor child, do you still want to sleep? May I accompany you?"

Violet nodded and said, "I've had enough sleep, Mammy, please stay with me for a while."

So Mammy sat on the edge of her bed.Mammy asked her, "Violet, what else have you learned?"

"Hmm..." Violet thought for a while, and then said, "I've learned a lot, do you want to listen?"

"Well, listen."

So Violet told Mammy what she had learned.Including language, history, geographical knowledge, singing and dancing, musical instruments, aristocratic etiquette, and some medical knowledge taught to her by Haven.Mammy was amazed when she heard this, and she said to Violet, "It's not like a slave, but like a scholar."

"I don't want to be a slave either." Violet told her sincerely. "Who wants to be a slave? I first lived in the South, I had family and friends, and I was a free man. Then the slave master caught me , sell me for money..." She felt powerless again, "Nurse, let me rest for a while, I'm so tired."

"okay."

Violet spent the next two days recuperating well, and under the careful care of the mother, her health gradually improved.The wound began to scab over, and the body temperature gradually dropped.Mammy's herbal medicine is very effective, Mammy said, it is a recipe she learned when she was an apprentice in Cold Night City.This medicine has a miraculous effect on trauma, and can dispel poison and dissipate heat.

The mother said to her: "There is a scholar's tower in Cold Night City, where the best scholars from the Western Regions and even the entire continent are gathered. Bachelors like to study in an orderly place, and His Majesty Panav knows order best. people."

Violet asked her: "This medicine is so easy to use, why isn't it popularized?"

"These herbs are too difficult to get." Mammy sighed, "I only have three or five handfuls here. Most of these herbs are grown by me in the oasis, some I picked in the mountains, and some I bought outside. here."

Violet said: "You gave me such a good medicine? I...I have nothing to repay you."

The nanny shook her head and said, "Son, this is not a hospital, but the church of the Lord of Seven Colors. His Majesty Panav will allocate funds for our free clinic every year. You don't need to repay me. If you are grateful, you can go to thank him. "

Violet said sadly, "But slaves must not be included in the free clinic."

Mammy smiled and stroked her hair, and said, "But they didn't say they couldn't give free medical treatment to slaves. Child, Mammy likes you, and I'm very happy to save your life."

Violet suddenly had an idea, she said: "Nurse, please buy me! I want to be a nun here."

Mammy froze for a moment, then said, "You..." She seemed to be thinking about something.

"I know there's no precedent for a slave being a nun, but I'm no ordinary slave. I can do a lot, you know! I can cook, I can write, and I've taught students. Oh, I can I can work as a translator, I can read maps, I can feed livestock... I can do everything, even if I don’t know how, I can learn! I’m a fast learner, and I’m sure I’ll be able to help if I stay here!”

Mammy stroked her head again with her big rough hand, and she took Violet into her arms.Violet cried all of a sudden, she suddenly remembered her childhood, and her mother who loved her.The faces of relatives have been blurred, but she still remembers the feeling of being loved.

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Mammy said softly, "Mammy didn't say she didn't want you, she just thought that you are such a good girl, you shouldn't stay here with us old ladies."

"No, it's very good here, I want to stay, I just want to follow you."

Mammy said to her: "You can only follow me temporarily, Violet, you are not from here, and sooner or later you will go back to the place you should go back to."

"Where can I go back?"

"Your hometown, or other places you want to go. Mammy will take you in, but you can leave anytime you want."

"Hmm." She nodded slightly.

On the third day, Mammy called the slave owner into the house and told him, "I want to buy this slave."

The slave owner was immediately overjoyed. He rubbed his hands and asked Mammy, "How much do you want to buy?"

Mammy obviously had never bought slaves before, she thought about it and said, "You come to make a price."

"In my opinion, such a good slave needs at least fifty gold coins." Of course, the slave owner was asking for a lot of money.

The nanny said: "There is not so much money in the whole temple, Violet, how much do you think you are worth?"

Violet immediately said: "I'm worthless!"

The slave owner shouted: "Shut up! You are still my slave now, you have no right to speak!" Then he came to check on Violet's body. He looked at Violet's wound, touched her forehead, and said, "You I am cured?"

Violet said, "No."

The slave owner nodded, and he asked Mammy blankly, "Can she survive?"

Mammy said firmly, "It will definitely work!"

No!Violet thought to herself, you should say that I can't survive.Only in this way can you buy me at a low price!Mammy is a straightforward and kind person, she can't think of such a thing.

The slave owner smiled even more happily, and said, "Forty gold coins, no less."

Mammy said, "But I only have five gold pieces."

Mammy wasn't lying, the temple was very poor.A temple that always provides free clinics, how can it be rich?

Mammy continued to bargain with him, and Mammy said that she could borrow money, and she could scrape together more than ten gold coins.But the slave owner wanted to sell the violets for at least thirty gold coins.In the end, the nanny knelt down and begged the man, saying, "My lord! Let me buy her. I didn't charge the consultation fee when I treated her, but it was really a lot of money. For this sake, please forgive me. Let me buy her!"

But the slave owner only had gold in his eyes, so he also knelt down to the nanny and said, "Good and kind nanny! It's not that I'm not merciful, it's not that I'm not kind, I want to support your good deeds, but I have a family to support , I have four sons who are going to get married, and if I lose this money, my family will starve. Sisters of the Lord of Seven Colors, you can’t just destroy another’s home just to save one slave!”

The nanny he said had no choice but to beg him persistently.After a while, the slave owner saw that the deal could not be negotiated, so he left the house.He said to Violet, "Let's go tomorrow."

Violet barely slept that night.Mammy didn't know where she went.

The next morning, Violet left the temple.Her fever had just subsided, but her body was so weak that she would sweat profusely every time she took a step, and her body would tremble when she exerted herself.The caravan had already opened the door for her, and this time the slave owner let her in by "please".He said to Violet: "I didn't expect you to be so valuable, baby, when I arrive in Cold Night City, I will buy you a high price!"

Violet said nothing, and quietly walked towards the carriage.

Just then Mammy came again.She shouted: "Wait, wait!" while running over.Violet saw that she was carrying a small sack.

The slave owner asked her: "What's the matter, have you collected enough money?"

Mammy dropped the heavy bag on the floor and said, "Here! There's a lot of money in here, a lot!"

The slave owner looked at the bag and said, "What is this? Are they all copper plates?"

Mammy said: "I begged and borrowed this from door to door last night. I don't know how much it is worth in gold coins, but I think..."

The slave owner flipped through the money in the bag and said, "It's not enough."

"Isn't that enough? Isn't this enough? Order some more! There's a lot of it here!"

"It's useless to have more! It's all fucking copper coins!" The slave owner dumped the bag on the ground, and he shouted, "If you don't have thirty gold coins, don't even think about buying my slave!"

Mammy glanced at Violet, and they both wept.The nanny said to the slave owner, "For the sake of helping you, let me say goodbye to her."

The slave owner said, "Well, come on, I'm waiting."

So Violet went to Mammy, and Mammy hugged her again in those big hands, and they both cried together.

It's no use crying.That's the way it is, facing the slave owner's whip and those strong guards, they have nothing to do.Mammy has no status here, just an ordinary person.

The slave owner was urging, and didn't even want to give her a moment to cry.

Violet had no choice but to say goodbye to Sister, and she bowed to her, saying: "You are my benefactor, Sister Amelo. If I survive, I will thank you!"

"You must live well, my child. If you die, Mammy will be sad." Mammy stroked her face with rough palms, and said, "Lord Seven Colors is merciful. You are such a good person, you will not suffer forever." .”

"Yes, Mammy."

Violet boarded the caravan.

In the end nothing changed, the master was still the master, the slave was the slave.

But at least Violet has a firm belief:

No matter how hard it is, I will live on.

Chapter 5: The World Army Corps, [-]

Chapter 5: The World Army Corps, [-]

Camtrane Lastor stood on the castle walls, and his brother Anduin Lastor was behind him.

"Brother, have you made up your mind?" Anduin asked him, "Your behavior will not only completely change the situation in the northern border, but you will also attract the hostility of the little trident."

"He was also hostile to me, not only was he hostile to me, but he also wanted to hunt me fanatically. Animals will not let there be animals stronger than him on their own disk." Kan Zhuen looked at the south, where There are Eagle Head Mountain and Sky Lake.Eagle Head City is magnificent, and Tianhu Lake is beautiful, where there are towering rocks, cold snow, beautiful wild flowers and lovely rhododendrons.At that time, Campbell was imprisoned in the Tower of Babel, and the beauty of nature was his only solace.

Today, Eaglehead City belongs to Bowle Kahn.Belongs to the overlord who kills without blinking an eye.

If there is anyone in the world who has damaged this land the most, it must be him.

I'm afraid Buggle Kahn's political views are the opposite. The Overlord is so conceited, he must want to change the world by his own power.However, this is impossible, human beings cannot completely defeat nature, we can only merge with nature.

I want to go back to Eagle Head City as soon as possible, I want to occupy it, otherwise this continent will continue to collapse.

He asked: "Brother, how long has it been since Tongtian Tower was lit?"

Anduin replied: "Since you left 20 years ago, it has only been opened a few times, and it was used for festivals."

Kan Zhuien murmured: "It used to be lit every day. This is the heavenly road for faithful men and women to communicate with the Great God of Light. How can it be dark?"

Anduin smiled wryly, and said: "Cade Heworth, our little king, he thinks the light of the Babel Tower is too dazzling, which is a provocation to the royal power. So he asked the Duke to close the Babel Tower."

That's true, thought Candrun, the little king once told me that he didn't want to see the light of the sky in the distance when he was mating with a woman.This will keep him from getting hard.

Can Zhuien said: "We should light the Babel Tower."

Anduin said, "That means rebellion."

"The king is dead, should we still serve the little trident?"

Anduin was silent for a moment, then said: "No one dares to call him Little Trident anymore. People are afraid of him, and they all say he is the overlord and the devil."

"Don't the people of the extreme north dare to fight against Bagu?"

"I'm afraid not." Anduin's throat squirmed, his expression very ugly.A gust of wind blows from the north, it is a wind from a bitterly cold place, and it is so cold that it hurts.Kan Zhuien breathed the air and thought to himself: People who grew up in such a difficult place should have endless courage.How could they be afraid of Bowle Kahn?

Camtrane said, "If I lead them, will they still be afraid?"

"Still afraid, but people will follow you. Camtrane, you must become the war god of the far north so that you can defeat another war god."

Kan Zhuien nodded and said, "Brother, let's light up the Tongtian Tower tonight. Let those nobles who come to Evernight City see this light."

A few days ago, Kan Zhuen wrote to invite nobles from the Far North.This includes two marquises, four earls and dozens of other jazz and knights.He wants to know the attitude of these people, and then he will decide the strategy.

That night, Tongtian Tower lit up with a silver light.This time the light is brighter than ever. The magic stone of Tongtian Tower has absorbed enough energy in the past few decades, and the beam of light released is even bigger than before.

The people of Eternal Night City haven't seen this beam of light for a long time. That night, people spontaneously went to the streets and came to Tongtian Tower to worship.The queue was long, and those who couldn't make it kowtowed to the tower on the street.

The next day, Kan Zhuien got up early for morning exercises.Today he will fight a tough battle at the negotiating table, and he must cheer up.

Wearing a tight white training suit and carrying Nilin, he came to the training ground in the backyard of the castle and began to practice swords.

He pulled out the reverse scale with a "swipe", and then Olivia in pajamas fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!" The girl dragon got up from the ground, touched her injured face, then took off her nightcap, and threw it on the ground, "What time is it! My lord, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm going to exercise in the morning," he said.

Olivia stamped her feet angrily, and said, "Didn't you use a wooden sword for your morning exercises? Why did you stretch me out this time? I last night...heh..." She yawned, "Ah...I I didn't sleep much at night, and I want to sleep in today."

Cantrane asked her: "Didn't sleep last night? What are you doing?"

"Read novels." She conjured a book from the scabbard, and Kan Zhuien was taken aback for a while.

"What's this?"

"A novel." She flipped the pages of the book quickly, and then put the book back into the scabbard—the space of the scabbard seemed to have been transformed by her magic, and it was larger than the actual space.

Kan Zhuien said: "Long actually reads novels?"

"People can see dragons, but they can't? Huh?" She maintained her usual arrogant tone, "I used to love to watch, otherwise how could I survive these 20 years? Just relying on arguing with you? Huh? "

Cantrane asked her, "What's so interesting about this?"

"Ah, you stupid and stupid knight, of course you don't know, this book..." She took out the book and glanced at the title, and said, "It's about love, um, about the love between knights and dragons, Very stupid and very funny, good after dinner entertainment."
