Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 123 Sigmund V (4)

"The dead mighty king also has a spirit, maybe he was offended by you." Tughru said, "I'll tell you a story you've never heard before."

He sat down in front of Sigmund and said: "A long time ago, there was a powerful Ashion named Padasari in the savannah. His land spanned from the end of one sea to the other. The beginning of a sea, he has millions of warriors under him. His son Dabbani is the heir of this great land, the great Kanka, his Asa.

Dabbani fell in love with a woman named Ai Lankong, who had the most beautiful face and smoothest skin in the world.But just as the two fell in love, the great Asion Padasari also fell in love with her.So he ordered his son to give Ai Lankong to himself, but Asa refused; he sent his best warrior to snatch the woman away, but Ai Lankon, who fell in love with Asa, would rather die; Out of jealousy and shame, Padasari ordered Ai Lankong to be executed.

Indignant Asada Bani launched a rebellion, and finally won the decisive battle with his father.He slew his father and became the great Arthion himself.But his lover could never come back, so he built a mausoleum bigger than the castle, sealed Ai Lankong as Asima and buried him, and ordered all his people to go to Sur. Triotu, pay homage to her. "

"This is a wonderful and sad story, but I don't know what you want to tell me." Sigmund was confused when he heard it. What does this story have to do with provoking the gods?

"Don't worry, this story is not over yet." Tughru told him, "After killing his father, instead of burying Padasari, the new Asiondabani threw him into the sea The souls of those who fall into the sea will be tortured and cursed by the salt water forever.

But the spirit of Padasari escaped, because of the weight of his resentment, he completely evaporated a vast ocean.And the first thing he did was to find the son who killed and cursed him, and then put all the bad luck on this new Asion, so that every time he stepped into the tomb of his dead lover, he would die My whole body was in unbearable pain like being pricked by needles.Not long after, he died of a rare disease. "

"You seem to have never believed in the rewards of good men," said Sigmund, after hearing the dark story.

"You don't understand, old man." Tughru shook his head and said, "The closer the spirit is to you, the less you can provoke it."

"Your men also call you Asion, are you from the savannah?" Sigmund changed the subject and asked, he didn't want to hear these strange gods discussing.He remembered what he had read in the book. The people in the so-called lost land described by the Hastza people were indeed dark-skinned and tall barbarians.

"I'm an Asion without Kanka, Sigmund." Tughru had a self-deprecating bitter smile on his face, "A king without land, as you say."

"Like half a Korva," said Sigmund.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing..." Sigmund shook his head, "What happened? Why did you come to Vivalia?"

"No child can be an Asion," Tughru said. "My father died when I was a child, and my uncle took my land. I wouldn't have lived to this day, but true to me My father's men took me before my uncle's executioner arrived, and that's why I'm here."

"From kings to robbers... who hired you?"

"I never ask Nuerzan this question, because I don't care who hired his mercenary group." Tughlu shrugged, "I just follow them and accumulate more wealth."

"So this Nuerzan is the head of these hundreds of mercenaries, and you work for him?" Sigmund asked.

"It's all temporary, Sigmund." Tughru said decisively, "One day I'll save up enough gold to raise an army back to the savannah, to my home. I'll take back what belongs to me. everything of."

Sigmund looked at the kidnapper in front of him who didn't belong here, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"You know, the royal family of this kingdom was also driven from their lands," he recalled. The king of this great plain. I hope you don't give up on your goals, all the great things in this world are basically accomplished by those who never give up."

Tughlu opened his eyes slightly, looked at Sigmund in disbelief, stood up after a moment of silence and laughed loudly, and the carved wooden amulet hanging on his breeches also shook, making a crisp sound.

"Did I say something funny?" Sigmund was puzzled.

"I didn't expect that the first person who persuaded me to persevere was a dwarf captive tied to a tree!" Tuglu got angry, drew out the straight saber at his waist, and cut off the rope tied to Sigmund. "I've decided, you will be my tikama from now on!"

"What?" Sigmund stood up, at a loss.

"I call you my Tikama, and when we return to the savannah to regain my throne, I will give you Kanka, which is bigger than the entire Vivalia!" Tughlu promised him excitedly .

"What is Tikama?" Sigmund was a little confused. Is he free?What does it mean to be his tikama?
"According to what you said, it should be called the Minister of the Seal."

"I'm not a good Lord Seal, and I don't know what I can do for you." Sigmund stubbornly refused, "Please take me back to the Hall of Ashes, and they will give you a satisfactory ransom. "

"A good person is hard to change, and I won't let you go." Tughlu emphasized, "If you don't be my tikama, I will kill you."

Seeing the straight knife still stained with blood in his hand, Sigmund sighed, it seemed that he had to agree if he didn't want to. "Oh, all right."

"Very good!" Tuglu said with a smile while beckoning to Sigmund, "Come on, Tikama, you need good meat and good wine, and good women."

"There's no need for women, Tuglu..."

"Don't call me Tughlu," Tughlu Kergan said, pointing at him, "I'm your Asion now."

"Okay, Asion," said Sigmund, "women don't have to..."

The gods are really playing tricks on him, thought Sigmund.He just threw away his position as Lord Seal Keeper of the Kingdom of Vivaria, and now he is going to be the Tikama of the exiled king?If he had known this, he might as well have stayed in Fort Smuggler in the Hall of Ashes, at least that way he would have been able to guess what would greet him.

He followed Tughlu's tall body, feeling uneasy and helpless.If Lozaria put a knife on his neck to keep him loyal, would he stay?Maybe, he thought he'd never know the answer.In order to survive, he had to agree to Tuglu's request, but went to the savannah with him?Sigmund now wished that the goal was just a casual talk.
