Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

In the middle of King Kong's speech, Fassnut patted him with a fake hand, and then pushed him away.King Kong shouted: "Master!" Fasnat ignored him, and looked at the sad woman standing in the morning light.

Violet also looked at him, "Safe trip." She said with a forced smile.

elder sister.This word came to Fassnut's mind. Violet has taken care of him a lot these days, and he has indeed developed some psychological dependence on this woman—maybe it would be nice to have such a sister, he thought thought.

But he didn't call out after all. "Thank you for taking care of me these days." He returned the salute, his face still cold.

Violet nodded silently, and immediately stepped aside.

In the end there were two lonely men left.

Farsnat could smell the alcohol on Smiley Cat even from a long distance away.He may have been hungover from the night.The young man thought to himself, Ranger should be strict with himself, and should not be so depraved.

Smiley Cat still turned his back to Fassnut. He patted the snakeskin bag and said, "The things are here. Although you have lost your hand, you still have half an elbow. Can you carry the bag?"

Fassnet nodded.

Smiley Cat picked up a wine bottle and took a big gulp, then threw the bottle vigorously and threw it far away. It was a long time before Fasnet heard the sound of the bottle breaking. "Go away." The smiling cat said to him.

Fassnut was unexpectedly not angry this time. Those two words echoed in his mind repeatedly, shaking his mind and making him feel a burst of sadness.He couldn't help asking: "Do you hate me?"

"I really hate you." Smiley Cat said with a sigh, "You are too good and proud, no one doesn't hate you."

Fassnut asked him, "Then why did you come to see me off?"

"But you saved my life no matter what, once with the dog and once with the vicious demon, I owe you."

"I don't care what others owe me." I only care what I owe others.

"But I care." Smiley Cat said, "Although you don't make me like you, at least you have won my respect—ah! Like it or not is not a word that should be used between men, I only like big-tits-tits Girl, I hate men. So... fuck you, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about." He gave a long belch and stood Get up, "By the way, if you have nowhere to go after you go outside, you can find a man named Faceless Ranger. You tell it that I asked you to find it, and it may help you... um, let's just say it Go." He stretched out his hand towards Fasnat.

Smiley Cat wanted to shake hands, but Fasnat looked at his prosthetic limb, but didn't dare to reach out.

Smiley Cat obviously realized that something was wrong with his action, so he withdrew his hand and gave Fassnut a bear hug.Fassnut was so strangled by him that he couldn't breathe. At this time, the smiling cat patted him on the back and said, "Take care, little bastard."

Fassnut nodded at him, then turned away immediately - he couldn't hold back his tears, like a fool.

The sun was just rising, and the golden sun pushed him away.He heard King Kong chanting his name, the sound of Violet sobbing, his own heartbeat, the chirping of insects and birds, and the silent blessing of a certain man... The boy without hands was carrying two bags , as if carrying the whole world on his shoulders.

He quickened his pace and ran into the distance.

Chapter 8: Isrit feels confused, a

Chapter 8: Isrit feels confused, a

This was the first time for Estelle to travel far, and it was such a long distance.

Despite the company of Master Gerrit and the dove, she felt lonely and helpless for a while.Whenever she was camping in the wild at night, she would always look at the darkness in the distance and think wildly.At first she would miss her hometown and relatives, or think of a terrible monster, and then she would be too scared to sleep.The more she pushed herself not to think about it, the more the monster came to mind—maybe I'm under the curse of the fiend, she thought.

Now she has been traveling for half a month, but she is still thousands of miles away from her destination.At this moment, they had just walked out of the bay, and they could only reach the acid frog swamp after crossing the rocky wilderness and the seven-color mountain. After walking for three to five days, they could reach the destination "Hummingbird City".

Along the way, she has to face many difficulties.Such as wind, food and sleeping, such as rough roads and sudden heavy rain, such as robbers and rebels... Their team has a total of 12 people, all of whom are witches, and they are all academics except for her and Gerrit.

Most of these academic witches are from the south, and some are from the north and the south. They have darker skin and wear gray blouses, animal skin belts, and legging sandals. Most of them have short hair or bald heads with various headscarves.Among them, the "Cuckoo Witch" Kashira held an ivory staff and always walked in front of the team with big strides.

The academics have the rules of the academics: after they leave their territory, they will try to avoid crowds as much as possible.Witches are a sensitive identity, and there will always be troubles in groups; and the prophecy always says that when wizards walk on the earth, the fifth mass extinction will come.That being the case, it's better for them not to be too arrogant.

So they all took wilderness paths, or simply walked through grasslands and forests, in short, they were all very difficult paths.

Although the journey was exhausting, it was not this that caused Estelle the most headache.

"Sisters, it's time for the moon to rise. Pray to the moon god to calm the heart and sublimate the soul!" As the name suggests, the voice of the Dujuan witch is as loud as Dujuan, "Now, sit facing the fire and close your eyes. The eyes begin to meditate."

The same is true tonight.Since she joined the team of academic witches, Estherite has to do moonlight meditation with them every day.Every night in the team, the person with the worst meditation work is punished.

And every time it was she and Gerrit who were punished.

The world can learn from each other, Estherite meditates earnestly every time, she doesn't even know what the criteria for judging a cuckoo witch are!Then the two of them will be punished every day: washing, lighting fires, cooking, setting up tents, gathering wild vegetables, mending tattered clothes and repairing sandals... In short, they will become servants of these women.

Liberal witches would never do such stupid things like staring at the bonfire in a daze. Liberal witches would gain insights and learn by being close to nature.Neither Gerrit nor she has ever done this kind of thing, and no one taught them, and the others are all traveling academic witches, and they seem to be born to do it.

Later Gerrit said to Isrit: "I'm afraid they are deliberately making things difficult for us."

Isrit had the same guess—she and Gerrit were the only ones who were liberal, and only they were light-skinned Gulf natives, so they were the two most likely to be excluded.These days, the academy witches didn't give them a good look.

Isrit didn't like these people. Most of the witches in the academy were old-fashioned middle-aged women. Gerrit called them "frigid women".These women strictly abide by the religious rules, and they do not do any unnecessary things or say unnecessary words on weekdays. Moreover, they are very mean, with a straight face, and they are always criticizing the two liberal witches.Every day, she and Gerrit will live under the surveillance of ten pairs of eyes, and everything must conform to the etiquette of academic witches.Sleeping, eating, going to the toilet...everything.

At the moment they are doing meditation under the moon.Isrit closed her eyes slightly, following the guidance of the cuckoo witch, imagining the starry sky in the dark night. "Excellent academic witches should be able to draw power from the moonlight and the stars." The cuckoo witch hovered behind them, "Night is when the elements are most abundant, and each star will give you different powers."

Isrit doesn't hate the starry sky, but with her eyes closed, how can she feel the starry sky?She has always been very puzzled by this.She asked other fellow academic witches, as well as Witch Dujuan herself, but no one could give her a specific answer.Gerrit told her that these academic witches are actually deceiving themselves and others. Xingyue has no power at all, and the power of witches only comes from nature.But Islet didn't think so. She had seen the cuckoo witch condense the power of the moonlight to light the bonfire, and she had seen her use the power of the stars and the moon to predict the weather and avoid heavy rain, so she believed it all.

The knowledge system of the academic school is completely different from that of the liberal school, and she is willing to learn.But she really has no idea.

Whenever she was bored, the cuckoo witch would poke her head hard with her fingers, and the woman seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.She gets poked three to five times a night, and the other witches get poked once or twice, and all of them put together can't beat Gerrita alone.

"I feel like a hole has been inserted into the back of my head by this bitch." The witch with her own trick said, stroking the back of her head.

In fact, in terms of cultivation, Zhe Lite should be the strongest here. After all, she is a famous character in the liberal school, and her ability should exceed these ordinary academic witches. She should not be wronged.But this time Gerrit came to be a student, and since she wanted to be a student, she was doomed to be angry.

Sure enough, it was the two of them who were punished tonight.After they meditated, they were sent off to feed the horses and fix the wheels.Isrit was banging on a wheel, while Gerrit encouraged the stallions to ride a filly together and watch the horses fight.Estherite quickly stopped this behavior - they don't have many horses, and if they are really injured, the goods will not be able to be transported.

"The forest witch can't take it anymore." Gerrit sat leaning against a big rock with a grass stalk in her mouth, "Why don't I poison all these women tomorrow." She drew a picture X symbol, "Either I will inject some poison to make these unmarried women feel young, and then they will pout their buttocks to mate with beasts—I don't know if these two stallions are enough."

"Mentor, don't be joking!" Yisrit said quickly, "Be patient for another two days, there is no way, we need to be recommended by the cuckoo witch before we can go to the Southern Academy City."

"But I can't help it anymore, I can't wait to grow a big steel bird, and then fuck these women hard!" She said and drew a wretched symbol.

Estelle felt confused, two

Estelle felt confused, two

Estelle felt embarrassed for a while, she said: "Master, a lady shouldn't say such things."

"I'm not a lady, I'm a liberal witch who fucks goats naked and eats poisonous mushrooms, you know."

Estelle frowned and said, "You're just joking, aren't you?"

"I've never done it with a billy goat." She straightened her face, and then compared her head with her finger to a goat's horns. "The smell is too fishy, ​​I can't bear it."

Estelle didn't know what to say to her.At this moment, Night Owl landed on her shoulder. Isrit touched the pigeon's head and said, "You can also persuade Lady Gerald."

The owl cooed a few times, and then circled in the air—it just "cooed" and didn't say anything.Apparently Night Owl had nothing to do with this situation, it muttered for a while, and then landed on Gerrit's lap.Ge Lita stroked the head of the cat-headed pigeon, and her expression also changed to that of a cat-headed pigeon.

Isrit chose to go back to sleep.

She shared the same tent with Gerrit, and Night Owl usually rested on the tree closest to the tent.

In her sleep, Isrit was still thinking about the secrets of the stars. In her dream, she was above the sky, swimming in the sea of ​​stars.However, the starry sky dream didn't last long, and her thoughts drifted back to Mustang Town.The place she dreamed most often was the mansion in Mustang Town, the original place, and also the most peaceful and happy place.It was Hai Wen's first year as the mayor. Although they were busy every day and didn't touch the ground, fortunately, they lived a stable life and didn't have to travel around.She dreamed that she and her husband were sitting at the gate of the Yizheng Hall basking in the sun, and dreamed that they were riding the same horse on the green grassland.

At this moment, a piercing voice interrupted her dream.Isrit was a light sleeper, so she sat up all of a sudden, and she suddenly found that it was already dawn, and Gellette next to her was missing.Then she smelled a bloody smell, which made her sleepless all of a sudden.

Isrit didn't even bother to put on her shoes, she put on a robe and rushed out of the tent.Then she saw that the witches were surrounding Gellette, and the Cuckoo Witch headed by pointed at Gellette with an ivory staff, roaring some questioning words.Zhe Lite raised her right fist and shouted: "I repeat, I didn't do it! If you are aggressive again, I will treat you to poisonous powder!" Ye Xiaoxia circled above her head, his eyes widened and his eyes widened. screamed, his voice full of anger.

What's going on here?At this moment, Yisrit took a glance from the corner of her eye and saw a pool of blood not far away, as well as a hang of intestines and a horse's leg.Why?How did the horse die?Still dying so badly?

At this moment, Esriette suddenly felt that someone grabbed her from behind, and before she could understand what was going on, she was pushed down by a thick woman from behind, who shouted loudly: "And this! I saw her yesterday too!"

Estelle didn't understand what was going on at all, she tried to explain, but the woman pressed her arm hard, and she groaned in pain.She heard Gerrit shouting, "Let go of her! I'll count to three, or no one here will die!"

At this moment, Witch Cuckoo said: "Let her go, this matter has nothing to do with her."

The woman in the back didn't let go of Islet right away, but pinched her back fiercely before letting go.It hurts!Isrit almost cried, she felt that a large piece of skin had been wrung off her back by that shrew.

She stood up, dusted off the dirt on her body, and asked, "What happened?"

Gerrit shouted: "These women are horny..."

"Shut up!" Witch Cuckoo yelled in a terrible loud voice, and then she looked at Isrit with a cold face, and said, "What did you do to the horse last night?"

Islet subconsciously glanced at the horse's corpse, and the cuckoo witch shouted again: "Look at me!"

Estelle was taken aback, she subconsciously shouted: "It's not me! I didn't do anything!"

"Lie!" Witch Cuckoo pointed at her with the ivory staff. "What did you do yesterday?"

Estelle calmed down a little, and said, "We just fed the horses!"

"You're still lying!" The witch poked at her through the air with her staff, and Isrit felt a pain in her chest and couldn't breathe. "The living horse told me that you once taught them to commit crimes!"

Gerrit yelled, "Fart! I'm teaching him how to hook a mare! Your horses are frigid things like you!"

The Cuckoo Witch looked at Gelette and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"I'd love to see two stallions fuck a mare," said Gerrita, "it's fun!"

Many conservative academic witches reprimanded Gellette, but the liberal witch didn't take it seriously. She said loudly, "It's natural for animals to mate. What's so strange about that?"

The Cuckoo Witch asked her, "What fun is there in watching animals mate?"

Gelie stared at her and said, "You can try it yourself, you unmarried woman! Bah!"

The other witches were annoyed, and gathered around to fight Gellite, but Gellite held the poison powder tightly and shouted: "This is the poison of the white camellia!" Upon hearing this, the witches immediately retreated.

At this moment, Witch Cuckoo stopped the others and said, "That's enough, let's go."

So they continued to set off like this, obviously there is no answer to this matter.Is there some kind of beast?Isrit thought to herself.

On the way, Gerrit and Essraet talked about it, and the witch said: "I went out to boil water this morning, and I saw a dead horse. Then all the witches got up, and one of them said it was me. They moved their hands and feet, and surrounded me. You know what happened afterwards."

"Then what happened?" The horse's internal organs appeared in Isrit's mind, and he died so badly.

Gerrit shook her head and said, "Nobody knows."

"Shouldn't someone keep watch at night? Besides, didn't Ye Xiaoxia see it?"

Zhe Lite shook her head solemnly, and said, "No! Everyone fell asleep last night, and Night Owlman happened to go out to catch mice and eat them, so he didn't know what happened."

Isrit asked, "What about the other horses? What did they say?"

"It said the little mare was flirtatious." Gerrit's expression was half a smile, "You know, not all animals can talk well with humans, and I don't know how their brains grow."

Yisruite sighed helplessly, thinking to herself: Most likely some kind of beast came last night, leaving that place will be all right.

But surprisingly, other witches treated them much better after this incident.She thought about it, guessing that the academic witches still thought it was done by Gellette, and took it as a demonstration—if I can secretly dismember a horse at night, I can easily dismember it too. kill you all.That's probably what it means.

Tonight, the Cuckoo Witch keeps vigil in person.Zhe Lite also told Isrit that she planned to watch the night together, and even Night Owl also said that he would not leave the camp tonight to see what was going on.

So Estelle went to sleep in peace, but the next morning, she was still awakened by the roar.She opened the tent and saw that there was another dead horse lying in the middle, with blood flowing all over the ground. Gerrit and the Cuckoo Witch were questioning each other, arguing fiercely.

This seems to be a bit of a hassle.

Chapter 9: Haven's Arrangements, [-]

Chapter 9: Haven's Arrangements, [-]

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Haven brought the cavalry and militiamen to Mustang Town.

From a distance, the town still looks the same - gray-black walls, sewage flowing across, and a foul smell permeating the air.When he was there, farmers were specially organized to clean up the manure and domestic waste for composting, but obviously these things were put away after he left.

Along the way, he met many peasants, and people suddenly saw a lot of armor-piercing knights, and they were not afraid.Where Hai Wen passed was the gatehouse was closed tightly, and pairs of terrified eyes were watching him from the dark place.But there were also a few people who recognized him - after all, there were not many bald people in this place - when those people saw him coming, they shouted his name, and then Haven asked them to get on their horses and walk together.Later, there were too many people, and the horses could not be separated, so Haiwen asked the knights to dismount and walk with these people.

When they set off, there were less than 100 people, but when they arrived in Mustang Town, there were more than 200 people.

At this moment, Haiwen was standing in front of the town, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart——I finally came back, and I, the exile, finally came back.

Haven asked, "Big Charles, who is the mayor of Mustang Town now?"

"You know, my bastard brother."

"Should he still be there?"

Big Charles nodded: "It should be, anyway, Mustang Town is so big, he has nowhere to run."

"it is good."

So Haiwen walked into the town, fifty soldiers followed behind him, and two militiamen from Mustang Town escorted Baron Mustang on the left and right.The baron was so frightened that he couldn't walk, and he almost walked on both sides.At this time, the people who came with Haven shouted: "The king of the wild horses is back!" They shouted as they ran, and the sound quickly spread throughout the town of Mustangs.So everyone in Yema Town ran to the street, and many people shouted when they saw Hai Wen, and some people who knew him came over to salute him.However, most of the people were terrified and watched from afar.

The baron whimpered in his throat, his body was limp, and he kept rolling his eyes, as if he was about to die of fright.He was woken up by two slaps on the face, and the baron began to cry like a child.

Haiwen pointed to a strong man and said, "Go to the government hall and ring the bell, as loud as you can." Then he called two men to escort the baron, and ordered the soldiers to stay where they were. "Big Charles!" he yelled. "You take some men and arrest Little Charles and Jon, and lock them up pending trial."

Big Charles nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my lord!"

After arranging everything, Haven walked into the town with those people who had followed him from Mustang Town.

There were only 26 of the fifty people who came with him at the beginning, and after going around in a circle, they finally returned to the place where they started, and now he brought these people to the front of the Yizheng Hall.Seeing that Haiwen came out alone, the people in Yema Town gradually surrounded him. Haiwen didn't say anything, and went straight to the gate of the Yizheng Hall.
