Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"Fuck - you old mothers, you are a group of female goats, whoever dares to burn me, I will fight her to the death! I finished my speech." After speaking, the witch drew out her dagger, and she gave Witch Cuckoo a hard look, and then began to use The tip of the knife picks the mud from the nails.

"next."

Then the bald-headed witch made a speech. She cursed angrily at first, and then said: "I think it was done by liberal women. They are all bastards who have sex with animals. Let's burn them first!" Slater didn't bother to argue anymore, while Gerrit just sneered.

At worst, just flip the table, Isrit thought to herself.

Then the Cuckoo Witch herself spoke.

"I need you to come up with useful clues or detailed evidence, instead of groundless accusations and suspicions based on personal feelings." Witch Dujuan's words were convincing, and everyone else nodded, " So do you guys know anything useful? I say in advance that I will give my vote to the person who speaks the most meaningless today. I hope you enjoy the remaining 45 minutes, it will be night soon."

With the warning from the cuckoo witch, the next speaker became much more cautious.The fifth speaker was a young witch with freckles. She pondered for a long time before she whispered: "I know one thing. Witch Kalio once sneaked into a forest ravaged by fierce demons alone, and rumors say that she participated in The sale of the blood of the devil, she..." At this point, the bald woman on the opposite side suddenly burst into a rage, "You rumor-mongering bitch!" She roared and stepped on the table, then threw herself on the freckled witch and beat her hard. She, that girl screamed suddenly.

At this time, the Cuckoo Witch swung her staff and gave the woman's bald head a sap, and the woman fell down with a groan, unconscious.The freckled girl fell to the ground and wailed loudly. Esrait saw that her hair was messed up and there were two bloodstains on her face.

But the cuckoo witch said: "The next person speaks."

The next person was the skinny witch whose arm had been bitten by a wolf.She didn't think about it, and said immediately: "We can't pour all the dirty water on the liberals. The curly-haired Gellette fought side by side with us and drove away the wolves, and the little girl is a good person. She washed me with alcohol. Wounds, keep my wounds from rotting. The cuckoo witch said that the medicine called 'alcohol' is very useful. I believe it is a precious medicine, but she is willing to share it, so they are not bad people - I will say this .”

Then the next white-haired old witch said: "But do people who are possessed by evil spirits retain their will? They are humans during the day and evil spirits at night. Maybe the possessed person doesn't know it. You can't rely on this." Clear up their suspicions a little bit. But... There is someone who is more suspicious than the liberal witches, and this person is Talos next to me." She and the one-eyed witch exchanged glances, and their eyes almost collided with each other. "Talos often haunts the cursed forest in search of potions, and the evil spirits are most rampant in that place. And on nights when the evil spirits commit crimes, we will all be hypnotized by something. I know that Talos is proficient in hypnotism, and she has this ability. "

Before Witch Cuckoo opened her mouth, the next person—the accused one-eyed witch Talos said: "What she says is up to her, anyway, I have never seen a fierce spirit, let alone been possessed. "Her voice was treacherous and evil, and it sounded harsh, "But I have a spell that can let you know who the evil spirit is!"

The Cuckoo Witch nodded and asked, "What kind of spell?"

Author's message:

ps: I will ask for leave tomorrow, organize the outline, and accumulate manuscripts.

Estelle felt helpless, three

Estelle felt helpless, three

"Divination," said the witch.

Many people laughed disdainfully, but Witch Dujuan even put on a straight face. "Prophecy and astrology are all tricks, haven't you been to school?"

The one-eyed witch giggled, and said: "You don't understand! This is blood divination, which is very different from those deceptions. People can tell lies, but human blood can't lie. In order to complete this secret technique, I need every one of you. Three drops of blood."

When she had finished speaking, the old witch cried out, "This is witchcraft! I will not let you have my blood."

"That proves that you are a guilty conscience!" The one-eyed witch screamed.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the old witch, and Estherite was also one of them. Immediately, she suddenly realized how terrible this behavior was - in this place, eyes can really kill.

The old witch backed away frightened by these eyes, "Why are you looking at me?" She cried, "I just said I...I don't want...I..." She said a few words incoherently, and then cried stand up.

The Cuckoo Witch tapped the floor with her staff to signal her to be quiet. "Everyone has to leave three drops of blood, or in this order, Liberal Estherite, you come first."

"Okay." Isrit put the dagger on the candle and heated it up. After waiting for a while, she made a small cut on her hand and squeezed three drops of blood into the vial in front of the one-eyed witch.Then the others drop three drops of blood in turn.

After all this was over, the witch began to prepare the blood prophecy.She put her hands on the eight small vials, and muttered a spell in her mouth. After a while, the blood slowly floated up and formed various symbols. People watched intently.Estelle stared at her own, her blood clotted into two concentric circles, she didn't know what it meant.And Gelie laughed at this time and said: "My symbol is like a piece of shit, hahahaha!"

Is this something to be happy about?Isrit tried to keep smiling.

"What's the meaning of these symbols?" the Cuckoo Witch asked the seer.The hunchbacked witch stared at these symbols with her left eye wide open, and said, "These symbols represent your truest selves at this moment..." After she finished speaking, Isrit saw Gerrit's face change. Very ugly.

The Cuckoo Witch asked impatiently: "Then what are these 'true selves'?"

The one-eyed witch pondered for a while, and said, "This will represent your identities to a certain extent...but I can't decipher the exact meaning of the symbol now, it's too complicated."

"Then what's the point of you doing this?"

"Although I can't know who is the evil spirit, I can only tell who is an ordinary human being." She pointed at Estherite, "She is definitely not an evil spirit."

"I'm really not..." Estherite murmured, "But how did you know about this?"

The one-eyed witch said: "Because the prophecy says that you will become a mother in the future, if you have been corrupted by evil spirits, you will not be able to become a mother."

What?I will be a mother?She was instantly elated when she heard this.Does this mean that I can return to Bear Mountain alive, and then meet Lord Haven... At this time, she noticed that Geralte was looking at her with a subtle look, and she blushed immediately, and quickly suppressed her smile.

The Cuckoo Witch asked, "What about the other symbols?"

"The symbol of Liberal Gerrita symbolizes chaos, your symbol symbolizes order, and the symbol of the bald witch symbolizes violence. I can't understand the others."

"Nonsense," said the older witch, "I think you are talking nonsense. Anyway, we can't understand this symbol."

The one-eyed witch sneered for a while, then narrowed her left eye, and said, "But I will vote for you today, because you have lived long enough, and everyone else is young, and if you want to die, you should start with the older ones. "

The old witch stood up and shouted: "Talos, you are revenge! You..."

"Vote!" said the Cuckoo Witch. "We have no time."

"You can't listen to the slander of this vicious witch! She hates me for stealing her books, and hates me for learning potions before her, so..."

"Enough." The cuckoo witch took out the marking powder and brush pen, and distributed one to each of them, "Turn your back and write the serial number you are going to execute on your hands. Everyone must write it. When the time comes Show the numbers together, everyone must write, and those who abstain from votes will be deemed to vote for themselves." The cuckoo witch looked around with her eyes, "Judge each other, don't talk, 3 minutes of thinking time, now, start!"

Except for the bald witch who was knocked out, everyone turned around.The warehouse is very large, but there are very few bright places. The small candle is far from enough to illuminate the whole warehouse, so it is dark all around.Estelle looked at the darkness, feeling inexplicably horrified.I'm going to kill someone, she thought, I'm probably going to kill an innocent person, with this pen, with this number.

She had never played such a cruel game, and she didn't know who to let die.So at the end of the 3 minutes, her palm was still blank.

The Cuckoo Witch asked everyone to open their hands, and Isrit looked at it in turn: she herself was blank, and the 4 written on Gerrit's hand was the Cuckoo Witch; the bald witch was still in a coma; the Cuckoo Witch voted for No. 5, the youngest witch with freckles; the freckled witch voted for the bald witch;

Almost everyone got one vote, but no one got two.

The Cuckoo Witch pondered for a while, and then she asked the people to form a circle in the open space. She stood the staff on the ground and said, "The direction in which the staff falls is the direction of the dead." Saying that the staff fell down, The wand first pointed at Islet, then rolled half a circle on the ground, and finally pointed at the old witch.

"No! It's not fair!" the old witch roared, "You can't do this, I have not been cursed, I have always been in the school city, even when I was traveling, I never went to dirty places, and I didn't do dirty things. There are many people here who are more like ghosts than I am now, many people... Oh, please, don't look at me like this... I'm afraid..." She said, falling to her knees and crying bitterly.

At this time, the cuckoo witch hit her on the back of the head with her stick, knocking her unconscious.Then the Cuckoo Witch dragged the man out like this, and no one went out with her, but after a while, everyone heard the sound of flames burning.In this dead silence, that voice seemed particularly terrifying.

"Sleep." said the cuckoo witch.

So they each found a corner and prepared to sleep. Isrit and Gerrit slept together. They drew a magic circle to exorcise demons under their feet, but both of them felt that it was useless.That night they slept very deeply, strangely.In the morning, Gellite pushed her to wake her up, and Estherite knew that another person had died when she saw her expression.

She got up and looked, and saw that the youngest freckled witch had been disemboweled and dead in the middle of the storehouse.

Now there are six witches left.

Chapter No.16: Fasnat can't see the sun, one

Chapter No.16: Fasnat can't see the sun, one

What the hell is this place?

Fassnut felt uncomfortable all over.Surrounding him is the ancient Hesse. Unlike the green forest in his memory, the trees in Hesse are at least dark green, and even many are simply black.He felt like he had fallen into a big ink vat.

"Squeak!" There was a shrill scream above his head, he raised his head, and saw a huge bat like a falcon fall from the tree, and then grabbed a green long-legged lizard.Hesse is a weird place, he has never seen birds or beasts here, bats and various bugs fly in the sky, and lizards and snakes run underground.Occasionally he heard a few piercing howls of wolves, but he had never seen the beasts.

It is now approaching June, and the air is very dry and hot when Fasnat came all the way.However, it is very cool in Hessen. The orc told him that there is only autumn in Hessen, which is true.There is a wonderful fragrance in this forest all the time, like the fragrance of orchids.The orc warned him not to go after the smell, it was the smell of the orchid. "The dark beauty blooms on the corpse, luring travelers with its fragrance, when you bow your head to kiss her, she will emit venom and melt you! Then new corpse orchids will bloom on your corpse." He spoke vividly, and his whispering tone was like an old woman telling ghost stories to children.

"Why is the altar in such a place?" Fasnat asked the orc.

"Everything related to the ogre must be hidden. As long as people hear the name of the ogre, they will do everything possible to kill you. For safety reasons, Priest Kalimos set up the altar here." The orc Use a big ax to split the bushes ahead to carve a path. "Just ahead." He said, pointing forward.

Fassnut looked there and saw a dark cave.

The cave can accommodate about two carriages, and the inside is pitch black, with the sound of whining wind.This is clearly not a good place, he thought.

"Is this the altar?"

"This is an ancient relic, let's go." The orc pushed him from behind, Fasnat couldn't stand still, and staggered.He felt a pang of irritation.

But he had nowhere to go, so he just walked into the dark cave.

The orcs lit the oil lamps, and they walked into the depths by the dim light.The cave leads in all directions, but the orc walked with a dull head, as if he had already memorized the route.

Gradually, the road changed from flat ground to a ramp, and they stepped on rough stairs one step at a time.They kept going down, down, for three or ten minutes, as if they were going all the way to hell.At the beginning, there was still the smell of wild animals, excrement and cobwebs, and then there was only darkness, and even the rats were dead.

At this time, Fassnet saw a green light in front of his eyes.The light looked very abrupt in the darkness, but it also exuded an inexplicable beauty.At the same time, Fasnat felt a chill, and the wind came from there again,

"Be careful with your feet for a while, I can't save you if you fall. Also, be prepared, you will see some... very exciting things in a while, don't be scared to death." The orc said and strode forward Go, Fassner set his mind and followed from behind.

Walking and walking, the front suddenly became clear, and then the green light became more and more dazzling.He narrowed his eyes subconsciously, just walked a few steps forward, and then opened his eyes——

"What is this?" he exclaimed.

The first thing that rushed into his field of vision was a large net glowing with green fluorescence, and an emerald castle glowing with green light.

He couldn't believe what he saw, so he blinked continuously, but when he saw everything clearly, he was even more surprised, even terrified.

No wonder the orc said in advance, "Don't be scared to death".

The Emerald Castle is a giant spider, and those webs are its webs.

The thing was so huge that Bear Mountain Castle was a head shorter than it, and it had sixteen legs and eight pure white eyes that were probably made of some kind of jade and gave off some kind of dim light.Fassnut looked at it from another angle and found that every detail of it was lifelike.It lay on top of a net the size of a town, its wires as wide as an alley.It has dark green spar hair on each foot, and its eight eyes can see everywhere in all directions. Fasnat feels that the monster is staring at him all the time.

Is this a sculpture?Or is it...alive?Fasnat shuddered at the thought that something as large as the castle was a living thing.This spider was bigger than the legendary dragon and majestic like a god. When Fasnat looked at it, he felt that his courage had evaporated and he didn't dare to take another half step forward.

"This is the corpse of the Gu Spider King, also known as the Spider Goddess—Abis." The orc said in a reverent tone, "Looking at it, you can go back to ancient times."

Fassnut couldn't help asking: "It... who is she? Why is she here? Why did it become like this?"

The orc said: "The Priest Kalimos learned from ancient documents that in the era of demon refining, there were several insect-human wars—just like our current war of slaughtering demons." As the spider web walked forward, Fasnat noticed that the spider web had already been petrified, and it had become an extremely strong road.He also went up, and there was an endless abyss under the net, and there was heat rising from his feet, maybe there was hell below?He thought to himself, the furnace of hell is under my feet.

The orc continued: "You should know something about the ancient races, right?"

"Sheng Gu, refining demons, murlocs, and tree elves." Fasnat said, "Destroyed in sequence, four mass extinctions."

"That's right, they are all extinct. But extinction is a slow process. Even the demon refining tens of thousands of years ago, there are still traces left today - fierce demons, you know." The orc kicked a small stone, and then The stone rolled down from the green cobweb road, and Fasnat stared at the place where the stone fell for a long time, but he didn't hear the sound of landing.At this time the orc shouted: "Don't stare into the abyss, the abyss will swallow you."

He hurriedly withdrew his mind to avoid being swallowed by the demons of the abyss.

"So the demons of the first Jiyuan, that is, the Sheng Gu that was tens of thousands of years old, have not been wiped out completely. In the era of refining demons, there are still some remnants of Sheng Gu who are still causing trouble. The long war of centuries has finally wiped out these vicious bugs. What you see now is the corpse of the Queen of Gu, Abis, the Spider Queen. She is the last Queen of Gu, and it is said that she She can destroy a country by herself. But now she is a cold corpse, and her body has become our altar."

When the words came to this point, the Spider Queen's mouth opened, and accompanied by a piercing spar rubbing sound, the mouth turned into a door.

"Go in," said the orc.

So Fasnat followed him into the monster's mouth, and the moment they entered, the queen's huge mouth was also closed with a bang.

Fasnat Can't See the Sun, II

Fasnat Can't See the Sun, II

Fassnut did not expect that what awaited him in the mouth of the devil was a table of delicious food and wine.

After they walked through the long and narrow passage, they came to a luxurious hall—different from that kind of resplendent luxury, the luxury here is piled up with gemstones of various colors.There are emerald utensils on the long crystal table, a circle of luminous cups in the jade tray, and some lamps made of beast skulls are hung on the surrounding emerald walls, with warm light emitting from the mouth and eyes.

This hall can accommodate about 200 people, and there is a door on each side. On both sides of the door, there are some crystal sculptures of fierce monsters, which are very terrifying.

An old man sat at the end of the long table, looking at Fassnut with kind eyes.

"Lord Karimos!" The orc knelt on one knee and saluted.The old man nodded and said, "Caoda, it's been a hard journey—please sit down."

"Yes." The orc sat down.

At this time, the old man—that is, the orc has always said that the priest Karimus stood up.He came to Fasnat and looked up and down.

When he was looking at Fassnut, Fassnut was also looking at him.

It was a tall old man, 1.9 meters tall, wearing a plain white robe, and a red diamond crown on his head; his face was clean, his beard was neatly combed, and his eyes were pure and wise.After a while, he said to Fassnut: "Please forgive me for being rude. I have to make sure that you are still a human being before I allow you to sit here."

Fassnut said: "It doesn't matter." After all, I also have this question.

"I am Priest Karimos." The old man introduced himself, "I am the third priest of the Ancient God Sect, and this is my altar—the Temple of the Queen of Worms."

"Fasnut, a Bayman."

He nodded, and then gestured, "Please sit down, Fassnut. I believe you are all tired, eat something first, take a rest, and then we can talk about things later." He clapped his hands and said, "Come on vegetable."

After saying this, several dark-skinned southern women came up with jade plates.There are various marks on their faces, and they must be slaves here.A woman passed by Fasnat, she was barefoot, her hair was combed into many dreadlocks, and she was wearing a suspender dress; she put the wine glass and tableware in front of Fasnat, because she bent over The clothes are very low, and the clothes are loose, so the breasts are exposed from the sides of the clothes.The girl was very thin, and her breasts were small and lovely. The color of her nipples was slightly lighter than the color of her skin, with a hint of greenish pink.

Fassnet glanced at it unconsciously, and then retracted his gaze immediately—peeping at a girl's breast is not a noble act, and he is ashamed of it.

However, at this time, the voice of the sacrificial priest came from across the table, and the man asked, "Do you like it?"

"No." Fassnut replied.

"If you like it, I will give it to you." The old priest said.

"I said I don't like it." I don't want such a weak woman!

"Then you can find someone you like to take away." The priest said with a smile, "There must be someone who will serve you in your daily life."

Fassnut's phantom limb was in pain, "I don't need it, I can take care of myself!" He said loudly.
