Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Another thing is to preach. Since the "appearance of the Mother Earth", all the orcs in the swamp have come to make a pilgrimage to her.Swamp Orcs came from the Baylands, from the South, from Wine City and Wolf City, from all the places she knew and all that she didn't know.There are even other races, red-skinned highland orcs and diminutive cave orcs.She has met countless orcs in the past few days. She heals those patients, talks with them, and imparts knowledge, and then the orcs who have received favors will spread these things and bring more orcs.Often when people from one family to another come from village to village, the old people who worship the Earth Mother will kneel at her feet and call her mother, which makes her extremely embarrassed.

After more than half a month of this kind of life, Estelle felt a little powerless.Today she declined to see guests and rested alone in the house.She felt something was wrong with her body, but didn't know what was wrong.Isrit knew a little about surgery, but she hadn't learned much about internal medicine, so she called Gerrit and the witch doctor and asked them to treat her.

Counting the pilgrimage guests, there were as many as seven witch doctors who came to consult her, and eight including Gerrit.The kindness of these people was hard to refuse, and Estherite couldn't refuse, so she had to let them conduct diagnosis and treatment.They inquired about Isrit's condition carefully, and Gerrit also looked at the state of her skin, gave her a face, and felt her pulse... In short, after more than an hour of tossing, everyone unanimously decided to go out for a meeting.

This battle frightened Esriette, did I suffer from some serious illness?She thought to herself, if I get seriously ill in this kind of place, I'm afraid I'll die.This is terrible!

She spent two hours in anxiety, until Gerrita came to her room alone.The witch's expression was as serious as that of a mourner, and Esriette couldn't help swallowing nervously when she saw her.Gerette looked at her, pondered for a while, and said, "Isrit, I have to tell you... a very... very bad thing."

She thumped in her heart, "Tell me, I'm mentally prepared."

"No, it's not that, it's not too bad...I mean...it's a good thing in other ways."

"Good thing?"

Gerrit took a deep breath and said to her, "Isrit, you are pregnant."

ah?What did you say?

What does that word you just said mean?How do you spell it?

Then she didn't know what was going on, and she burst into tears.She couldn't say anything, she just wept silently.Geralte also hugged her silently, and she wept on Geralta's chest.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and Isrit also burst into tears.The short-lived happiness is washed away by the rain of reality.A child, a child, must have been conceived in Xiongshan. It is two months now, and I still have about six months.

Six months later, I was a real mother.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stop crying.She has been to the execution ground, she has taken risks, she has been injured, and she has left her hometown to wander...but she has never been like this at any time.

I have to go back.

School city, witches, orcs, earth mother... these things are not important anymore, nothing is more important than my children.I'm going to fly back to Bear Mountain as a bird and tell him we're having a baby!

"Gerette, when are we leaving?"

Zhe Lita was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you planning to go to Xuecheng?"

"How can I still go?" She stood up and said loudly, and then she realized that she should not be emotional, she was already a mother, and she had to think about her children all the time.She sat down and said, "I must go, back to Bear Mountain. I will at least wait until this child is born. I am a mother now, Lord Gerrita."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but we can't go now. We've got to wait until you're well and the damn rain stops."

"Well, you're right."

I'll leave as soon as the rain stops, she thought looking at the heavy rain outside.

However, the rain didn't stop, and it rained from time to time, and it lasted for three days. She had never seen such a strange rain in the bay area.

To make matters worse, she developed a fever.

She may have caught a cold, or she may have eaten something unclean, in short, she couldn't afford to get sick.This made her anxious-I have a fever, it's fine, but my child...will he feel hot?What would I do if he felt hot?If he is also infected by me and gets sick... God, what should I do?

Estelle didn't know what to do, she could only cry.The tears flowed non-stop, like the heavy rain outside the window, like the flood breaking the embankment.

Chapter 27: Raya is investigating

Chapter 27: Raya is investigating

This year the bay area is extremely hot and dry, there is no rain everywhere, the sky is on fire, and the ground is smoking.Laya changed into the thinnest nun's gown, which can be used for driving when walking, and it is somewhat cooler.

If this continues, there will inevitably be a severe drought in the Gulf.Laya thought worriedly that the gods of plague always come in line. After a severe drought, there will be a plague of locusts, and then there will be a famine. The famine will cause death, and the corpse will cause the plague. People will rebel if they cannot survive, and the final result may be war.

Lord Haven obviously also foresaw this situation. Laya always felt that Haven Ambside had extraordinary insight and thinking mode.In the past few days, he has been busy arranging the farming work in Bear Mountain, Pinewood Castle, and Mustang.Apparently he was doing his best to cope with the ensuing drought and famine.

But not everyone has the same sense of crisis as the Earl of Bear Mountain.

The Sarris and Stirnier families obviously didn't have it, and Tang De'en probably didn't either.

Sarris and Stenir, the two major cancers of Bear Mountain City, one controls the shops in the city and the other controls the farms outside the city. Lord Haven has long wanted to wipe them out.A week ago, he hinted to Tang Deen that this matter, Tang Deen patted his chest and said that it could be arranged, but the actual result was not very good.Tang De'en seemed to just beat them up, and then the two families donated some money to Haiwen, expressing their hope that the matter could be settled.

But Master Haiwen was obviously not satisfied with this, he was very disappointed with Tang Deen and decided to do it himself.Before that, he asked Laya to inquire about information, and Laya handed over this matter to Eros.

At the moment, she is teaching orphans in the Church of the White Clothes Church. The weather is scorching hot, and the children have little interest in the lessons. Laya is writing with a charcoal pencil with her sleeves rolled up. Comfortable. "War is the way to gain honor and money, but it is the final form of a series of sufferings," she was talking about the history of war in the Gulf, while spreading the thoughts of the White Clothes Society. All wars waged by selfish desires are evil and stupid..."

No child listens to her lectures carefully, and even if they listen, they may not understand them.Don't talk about children, even adults can't understand.Raya wiped off her sweat again, then resumed her lecture.After a while she saw many children staring at her face and laughing, and then she noticed that her face was smeared with charcoal, and there were several gangsters.

At this time, she saw Eros waving to her at the gate, "get out of class is over." She said to the children.

After the children had dispersed, she came to the door. Eros looked sleepy. Her hair was messed up, and she held her high-heeled shoes with her hands, and her feet were bare.Laya asked her: "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"It's not just that I didn't sleep well, I almost didn't sleep." She stretched a long waist, and there was a sound of joint collisions on her shoulders and waist, "Fortunately, the inquiry is over."

"it is good."

Laya asked Aunt Currit to take care of the children, and she took Eros to the underground warehouse, where Harrison and Aaron were waiting for them.As soon as Eros came in, Harrison taunted her and said, "Bitch, you're picking up customers again! Hahaha..."

Eros didn't quarrel with him this time, she gave the orc a blank look, and then said to Laya: "Is there any place for garbage here? I'm a little sick to my stomach." Her face wrinkled.

Laya asked her, "what's wrong"

"I drank the old man's seeds yesterday and took several sips." She covered her mouth and said.

"You're a whore!" the orc yelled.

"Would you like me?" She walked to a tub, and then she took a piece of cloth, folded it twice, and laid it on the ground to pad her knees.She knelt on it, lowered her face, and said, "Excuse me." After saying this, she dug her fingers into her throat and threw up.She lowered her face and tried not to make a sound.

Sister Eros is a weirdo,

She was a refined whore, capable of throwing up in grace, and could, if she chose, behave more like an aristocrat than an aristocrat, though she preferred to be flamboyant.

Raya ordered Harrison to get her a glass of water. Harrison looked reluctant, but he did.A moment later, Eros rinsed her mouth with water and drank another half of the glass, at which point she threw up again.When she looked up, Raya saw blood on the corner of her mouth.

Laya said to her: "I have given you enough money and manpower, Eros, and you can use them."

"I will use it when I need it, Laya. Information is not something that can be solved by spending people and money. Sometimes I still have to do it myself."

Laya murmured, "But your body..."

"I know how long I can live, Laya." She touched her stomach, "I just have a small tumor, this tumor has been with me for more than ten years, it won't kill me now, nor will it in the future .It's just..." She swallowed, "It's really disgusting to do too much. When I picked up customers back then, I picked people I liked."

"I thought you were familiar with this kind of thing." Harrison's tone was very awkward.

"It's fine if it's a healthy man, I can bear it, but that adult's is too smelly, oh..." She covered her mouth, and then continued to vomit, this time she couldn't vomit anything, just dry Just vomit.After a while, she said out of breath, "Hornless Orc, I ask you, why do men make women drink that stuff? Is he trying to impregnate my stomach?"

"How the hell would I know?" Harrison said.

"Actually, I'm a clean freak." The prostitute said an unbelievable word, "These forced customers are really annoying, really."

Laya said at this time: "Gerita taught me a herbal prescription for nourishing the stomach, and I will fry it for you in the evening—now, let's talk about the business."

"Yes, my lord."

Then Eros reported in detail what she had learned this week.

A week ago, Eros dressed up as a distant relative and came to seek refuge with the butler of the Sarris family.Then she became the old housekeeper's mistress in 8 minutes, the first night she got the man drunk, and then took the opportunity to read the bills of the Sarris family; ; On the third night, she successfully became a maid in the mansion and began to investigate the whole mansion...

As of today, she has pretty much turned the Sarris family upside down.

"I can't find the bill, but I copied a copy briefly, and I know where the bills are kept. In addition, I also checked where the family's sons and family cadres live. If there is a beheading operation in the future, try to catch them all." Eros thought while drinking the honey water Laya made for her, "From the bills, the Sarris family is much richer than our Earl of Bear Mountain. Yes. This guy runs more than [-]% of the taverns, brothels, gambling houses in Bear Mountain... and gangsters collect protection fees everywhere. If necessary, I can steal this list as evidence, but I don’t want to startle the snake.”

Laya nodded and said, "I have to discuss it with Lord Haven first before making a decision—is there anything else worth talking about?"

Eros put down the water glass, then climbed onto a big wooden box and sat down: "I didn't find out about Tang De'en. There are two other things. The first one is that the young master of the Saris family is about to get married. I want to enter Zhu Xia Bay."

"What?" Laya was stunned for a moment, "Join the Shrimp Bay... Earl Mani wanted to get Lavidia to the Shrimp Bay. If he could marry the Countess of the Shrimp Bay, he would become a nobleman. It's the guardian of Shrimp Bay..." Laya frowned, "This matter is troublesome."

Eros went on to say: "Oh, and one more thing, their family doesn't believe in religion."

Harrison said: "Not religious? What's so strange about that? There are a lot of non-believers going."

Eros raised her index finger and said, "But their family is a little strange. There are hundreds of people in their family, from the master to the servants, and even the other children don't believe in it. And they are very taboo about various religions, especially the Sea God. They The totems and statues of the Sea God Sect must never appear in the house, and I heard from the old servant that the master of the Sarris family has some conflicts with the Sea God Sect."

At this time, Aaron asked her: "There is a conflict with Poseidon, so why can't you even believe in other religions? You can't touch any of the dozen or so religions in the Gulf, and the whole family can't touch it—this is almost obscene." God has acted, is there any special significance for them to do so?"

Laya couldn't help but fell into deep thought when she heard this, and said, "Eros, let me think about this matter. Starting tomorrow, you have to start investigating the Sternier family."

Eros sat cross-legged on the wooden box: "It's okay to investigate, but you have to let me rest for two days? We want to date a good guy, not sleep with a limp old man." She said lying He got on the box and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

"That's your freedom, I won't interfere." It's useless to interfere, she thought, "but you should always remember the precepts and be strict with yourself."

"Got it, Laya—it's not in the precepts that I'm not allowed to catch hooks, is it?"

"No."

"That's it." She lay on the big wooden box and stretched like a cat, "I'm going to take a bath, get a good sleep, and give me work in two days, Mr. Chairman."

"it is good."

She turned over and put on her high heels, then tied the hem of her robe around her waist and pulled down her collar.At this time, Laya saw bruises and strangle marks on her skin, which must have been left last night. It seemed that she had suffered a lot.At this time, the orc let out a disdainful sneer, and Eros simply showed his breasts to show him, and then gave him the middle finger.

Raya said to her, "I don't care what you wear or do in your private time, but you have to stay away from the orphanage, understand?"

"Yes, my lord." She said solemnly.After she finished speaking, she said goodbye, saluted, and turned to leave.At this time, Harrison called her from behind and said, "Bitch, I have something to ask you!"

"Huh? Tell me something, bastard." After saying this, she raised her brows at the half-orc, "Let me tell you in advance, I won't ask you out, you smell too bad."

"Who the hell cares about you?" The half-orc spat, and immediately asked, "Where's that old man you mentioned earlier? What's his name and what does he look like?"

"died."

The orc smiled and asked, "What did you do?"

Eros also smiled and said, "Otherwise I'm still waiting for you to do it? Bastard."

Harrison burst out laughing.

"Well done." The veteran who had been silent all this time also said to her.

Chapter 28: The Wretched Dreyer, a

Chapter 28: The Wretched Dreyer, a

I really don't know when it will rain.Dreyer thought to himself, if there was such a heavy rain in the bay area, there would have been floods, but here it is as if nothing happened.It seems that this place is like that.

Everything in Rotten Flesh is bad, except for the drainage system.According to Sariva, the Rotten Flesh Beach was once glorious in the past, and 200 years ago, necromancers once established a gloomy and strange evil city here—Diandana, also known as the Bone City.Later, the North-South Alliance and the King of Wine City (Wine City was not yet under the jurisdiction of the four principalities at that time) besieged and wiped out the necromancers, and the Bone City was turned into ashes and disappeared into history.

The sewer system is the legacy of the City of Bone.Legend has it that the necromancers of those days had profound magic and were very rich. Since many spells needed to be completed in the wet underground, the Bone City needed a powerful drainage system.Although the Bone City is gone now, this system called "intestines" is still in operation. Legend has it that the system of "intestines" is huge, several times larger than the entire rotten meat beach combined. Wandering in this dungeon, you can't go to heaven, you can't go to hell.

The "Night God's Blessing" casino is completely ruined, and the fat boss has hung up the deed to the auction house, waiting for someone to take over.

There is no doubt that Delaire and the others will take over this offer.This morning, he called both Yesko and Sariva, and the three were planning the next thing at Yesko's house.He said directly to those two people, "I want to buy a casino."

Sariva clapped his hands and expressed his full support; Yesko asked him as usual: "What do we buy? Do we have money? Yeshen Casino is sold at a low price, and it will cost hundreds of gold. If it is auctioned, it will cost a thousand gold." They can all be sold. Let me tell you in advance that I don’t have much money, and I’m willing to lend you dozens of gold coins for the sake of avenging me, but I don’t have any more.”

Delaire said with a smile: "Of course we can't afford to buy a casino, but we can't afford it, and someone can afford it."

Yesko also smiled, and asked, "What tricks do you have?"

Delaire said: "There are many gangsters, sects, and families in Rotten Flesh, but among them, the Wolfstone Clan and the Necromancer Association are the biggest. They have money!"

Hearing this, Yesco immediately shouted: "How dare you take their ideas? I think you have lived a long time! Whether it is the Wolf Stone or the Necromancer Society, that is not a place for normal people to go! Are you Do you want to be skinned by a wolf cub, or do you want to be sucked by a wizard?"

Dreyer had done some research before, and he knew that this trip was dangerous, but as the saying goes, wealth is sought after risk, and you can't make money in Rotten Meat Beach if you don't take some risks.So he said to Yesko: "Brother, I'm not trying to get their idea, but to make a fortune together! Night God blesses this casino with a lot of income every year. It doesn't matter if it's a clan or an association, everyone wants this casino. But this Street is the territory of the Wolfstone clan, and the clan is richer than the association, so the Necromancer Association cannot get this casino."

"so what?"

"I have a way for them to get it, and I want to use this to negotiate business with them." Without waiting for Jesko's retort, he said immediately, "My brother, for the sake of avenging you, you can lend me thirty A gold coin."

Yesko muttered, "Thirty... thirty is too many."

Dreyer said: "I'm going to give gifts to the Necromancer Association. No matter what, there must be thirty—otherwise, how can I get it? Don't worry, this money is all small money, and I will pay you back in the future."

Yesko hesitated for a moment and said, "I only have twenty."

miser. "Twenty are fine, bring them." Dreyer reached out to ask for it, but Yesko hesitated for a while before saying, "Okay."

Then Sariva also took out a few silver coins and gave them to him, saying, "Brother, that's all I have left."

Dreyer counted the number and kept it in his heart, then accepted it together and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

That afternoon, he took the money to the Necromancer Association.

The Necromancer Association of Rotten Meat Beach was built next to the Colosseum. In the past, people were killed in the Colosseum, and the corpses were transported to them for cooking and used as experimental materials. The Bone City fell 300 years ago, but there are still a few necromancers left.The charm of undead spells continues to attract those with crazy blood. This organization has been wiped out by Wine City and the northerners several times, but it is still alive.In the past 50 years, the national strength of the northerners has declined, and their control over the generation of wine city has declined, which has caused the rotten meat beach to become a lawless area in the past 50 years.This lawless area has become a hotbed of necromancy, where the Necromancer Association takes root and grows bigger and bigger.

Dreyer came to the door of the Temple of the Necromancer Association.

It was a pointed building built of mossy green bricks, and the surroundings were dead.The land in the yard was barren, and there were black and green puddles with air bubbles on them from time to time.From a distance, this place looks like a tomb.
