Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Fassnut turned another page.

"Today, the adults came to pick me up from get out of class again. I'm so happy. The classmates all envied me and said that I was a lucky slave."

He continued to turn the pages.

"Today he drank some wine and fell asleep very early. I was still looking forward to what happened at night, what a pity. I wanted to wake him up, but he slept very deeply."

That was last month, Fassnut thought.

"I love it when he kisses my nipples, and his tongue, and his chest."

He realizes that this is a diary, where little Violet writes everything down.He turned the pages quickly, and found that every stroke here records every detail of life, and every stroke is inseparable from him.

"Maybe we can leave, the adults said to save money for me. God, we can go, where am I going to go with him? Anywhere, where the adults go, I will go, I love him."

why?

"He went to the arena, and he went again. I don't want him to go! My lord is very powerful, but the arena is too dangerous. What should I do if he dies? If he dies, I will die of grief. Karimo Priest Si said that a pious bone farmer will go to heaven when he dies, so can we meet in heaven? I will ask the priest, if he says that my adults can also go to heaven, I will go with him. I can’t do without he."

why?

"I love him and I want to marry him and have many children for him. But the grown-up won't marry me, he says I'm a stupid slave. I'm sad. But it doesn't matter, slaves can stay with him forever. I want forever Be with him forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and forever."

Why?Why?Why?He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, even when he broke his hand, he didn't feel this way.

He was completely messed up, his whole world was torn to pieces.

In the end, he set the place on fire, making all the absurd past disappear in the flames.

Fassnut, Unforgiven, Nine

Fassnut, Unforgiven, Nine

Before leaving, he remembered one thing.

He came to the prison of the Temple of the Worm Queen to save a man.

Nightweather has been locked here by Karimos since the incident in the arena.If Fassnut just left, she might die in the cage.

As he walked there, he thought:

You idiot!You have killed so many people without a trace of heartache, but why do you feel pity for a ferocious monster?Just watch her starve to death in prison, okay?It's meaningless to save one more person, and saving one more person can't save you from falling into hell!

He doesn't know, he really doesn't know.It's the same as he doesn't know why little violet treats him like this.His whole person is like a collection of contradictions, he is righteous and evil, cruel and kind, sincere and hypocritical... He is like this distorted world, split in two.

The air in the prison was humid, the dim light of the oil lamp was shaking, and a few moths circled around the light non-stop.It's so quiet here that the storm outside didn't blow here.Fassnut walked in slowly with the lamp in hand. When he saw a bunch of keys hanging on the door panel, he took them off casually.

The cells were all empty, and some doors were open.Maybe the prisoners were called out just now, he thought.

There was a faint light at the end of the road, and he quickened his pace.Gradually, there was a scent of flowers in the air—a scent that was very strange to Fassnut, because he had never seen flowers in this place.

He came to the prison door with doubts.

Red mist filled the cage, and the picture was very hazy.But Fassnet could vaguely see that Natway was sitting on the bed, she was naked, but she was sitting elegantly like a lady; she was holding a book in her hand, and there was a glass of red wine on the bedside.

The fragrance of flowers came from the red mist. It was not the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of red mist.

"Fasnat?" Natway stood up and approached him slowly, stepping on the dry thatch on the ground with bare feet, making a crisp sound from the straw.She stood by the railing and looked at Fasnat in surprise, "I didn't expect you to come." She stroked her hair, then looked down at her naked body.She smiled wryly and said, "Karimos sealed my power, so I can only see you in this way."

Fassnut asked her, "Karimus told you to kill me."

"I refused."

"Why did you refuse?"

"Why should I agree?" She smiled, stretched out her hand from the gap between the railings, and stroked Fasnat's face with her fingertips, "You bleed a lot."

"Others shed more," Fassnut said.

"I only care about how much you bleed." Her eyes were full of love and compassion.

"How do I let you out?"

"You..." She looked Fassnut up and down, "Why did you save me?"

"I don't like you, but at least you haven't betrayed me."

Netway pondered for a moment and asked, "Where's your little lover?"

Little Violet's body flashed before his eyes, and his heart throbbed. "I killed her." He said blankly.

"Oh." Netway didn't continue to ask, but just nodded sadly.Immediately she pointed to the rune on the wall over there, and said, "Break that, and I can go out."

So Fasnat scratched the magic runes on the iron lock with the tip of his knife.Immediately, Netway's red mist became thicker, and she said at this time: "I want to change clothes, please avoid it."

Fassnut was taken aback by what she said, and asked subconsciously: "You are not afraid of being seen when you are naked, why should I avoid it when changing clothes?"

"My body is more beautiful than a work of art. Of course I'm not afraid of people looking at me, but changing clothes is a private matter for a girl's family-I don't want you to know what kind of underwear I wear, what kind of socks I like, how can I change clothes?" Put on lipstick, how to comb your hair."

Fassnut has never understood a woman's mind. "Okay, I'll wait." He said and turned around. A few seconds later, he suddenly felt a coolness on the back of his neck. He turned around suddenly and found that Netway was facing him, and their faces were almost close. can be pasted.Fassnat stepped back abruptly, then raised his two knives. "What do you want?" he asked.

Netway shook her head and said, "No wonder you were deceived by Karimos. I was a woman who almost killed you, but you were as obedient as my child. If I wanted to kill you just now, you would have died .”

Fassnet was speechless.

"You are too simple." Netway walked towards him, her high heels making a sound; at this moment, the woman was wearing a short black skirt and a black and white tube top, her long hair was combed into double ponytails and tied high on her head, "If you don't If you learn to doubt, then no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless."

"It's useless if it's useless." He said and walked outside.

Netway called him from behind: "Where are you going?"

"I don't know." He answered truthfully.

"You are now a real ferocious monster, and the demon hunters will put you on the hunting list."

"I'm not afraid of them."

"You are indeed stronger than them, but those despicable hunters will use all kinds of schemes to deal with you - poisoning, cursing, assassination, deception, and even using the rules of society to frame you. I have a say in this matter, because I I’ve experienced it myself.” Netway’s smile was so sad that it made people feel distressed, “From today onwards, we are all the same, Fasnett.”

Let's go all the way.Fassnut didn't want to talk nonsense with this woman anymore, he was tired.He just wanted to get out of here quickly and find a place to sleep well.Then eat some cooked food, drink a little wine, maybe find a whore...so he might be able to forget something.

He walked outside, Netway was still shouting something, but he had no intention of listening.

In this way he left the Temple of the Queen of Worms.

There are thousands of steps leading to the ground, and the way up is more difficult than going down.As he climbed up, he thought: Have I always lived this deep underground?

What on earth have I been doing here?

He didn't know, he was as lost as the moth lost on the oil lamp in the dungeon.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to the ground.The rising sun was so dazzling that it seemed to burn him and evaporate him.How long has it been since I saw the sun?He seems like a lifetime away.

Maybe I'm just having a big dream, he thought, the Temple of the Worm Queen, the Bone Coins and the Arena, the Little Violet, my stupid slave, the first girl I fell in love with - all of it A ridiculous dream in which nothing ever happened.

He walked forward slowly, the rising sun elongated his shadow; the pleasant breeze made him forget the nightmare, but he didn't know that the grass under his feet had been dyed blood red.

Author's message:

ps: After writing this pov, I still feel very comfortable - some readers said that this film is very confusing, and I don't understand why there is such a thing.

Then what I want to say is that what this pov said is two words: absurd.

Whether it is Fassnut or Little Violet, it is absurd.Without hopelessness, your truest self may never be expressed.

This story, to a certain extent, is my personal experience. At least in my opinion, there is nothing unreasonable-even I want to say: "The reality is much more absurd than the story."

Please read on.The climax of Fassnut is temporarily over, and the climax of Haiwen and others will follow, and new pov characters will appear soon.

Look forward to it.

(If you are satisfied with this chapter, you can give a reward or leave a comment, thank you for your support.)

In addition, I will take a day off tomorrow, and other povs are also approaching their climax, so it is more difficult to write, I need to think about it again.

Chapter 34: Haven's Strategies, Part [-]

Chapter 34: Haven's Strategies, Part [-]

This morning, Haven received a gift.

A bloody horse's head.

This thing was placed in the corridor by the door of his bedroom. When he opened the door in the morning, he saw this bloody gift.He was all right, but Hyacinth was terrified.The little girl screamed in fright, trembling all the time.

This horse was his mount, and Haiwen usually bothered with it when he went out.Haiwen has always loved it very much, so he just died like this, and he feels very uncomfortable.

Pinned to the horse's mouth is a cloth strip with the words "Don't do things beyond your control, Guardian of Bear Mountain" written in blood.

Haiwen immediately guessed the other party's intention and identity: this must be a threat from the two big families.Recently, he has been investigating the affairs of those two families, which obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the other party, so they chose to use this method to retaliate.

But they underestimated Haiwen's courage—this king of Xiongshan has traveled all the way, fought in wars and been imprisoned, shed blood and tears, and he is definitely not a dead horse that can scare him.In doing so, they strengthened Haiwen's determination to eradicate these cancers.

He first asked someone to clean up, and then asked Smiley Cat to investigate the matter.In the morning, the smiling cat told him that a helper of the castle left this morning. Some people said that they saw this person and left in a hurry.Master Cat asked him if he wanted to go after him, but Hai Wen said, "No, you have more important tasks."

I don't need to get entangled with these brats, if I want to make a move, I need a thunderous blow.In the afternoon, two people came to the castle, and Haiwen knew both of them.One is the former alchemist Hei Jin, who once made distilled alcohol and pesticides for him, but after Haiwen lost power, they had no contact with each other; the second is a traveling merchant from the Western Regions: Hariwuhan Dangumeng Suddenly, nicknamed Old Cigarette Bag.Haven knew this man in Pinewood Town, who ran a tavern at the time and was good at cooking insect delicacies.Later, this person did business with Haiwen for a period of time. After Haiwen was expelled from Wild Horse Town, he lost contact with this person.

Now that Haiwen has become the Earl of Xiongshan, these two people naturally came to the door.As a businessman, it is impossible for you to let him see the truth in adversity. Only interests can drive them.

Although these two people don't have a deep friendship with him, they have done things for him after all, so they can be regarded as friends.So Haiwen received them with hospitality and dealt with it.The two now appear to be hooking up and doing business together.They first talked about some scenes, and then Old Yanbi said to Haiwen: "What is your lord doing recently? Are you interested in making some money with us?"

Sure enough, it was for business.Haiwen is really short of money now, so he asked him how to make money?The old pipe said: "My lord, didn't we talk about the tobacco business before? Master Heijin has made this thing these days, and now we can grow some tobacco leaves and make some money."

This is not about making small profits, Haiwen thought to himself, the tobacco industry is a huge profit, especially after the formation of a monopoly.

"And then?" Haven asked them, "What are you looking for me for?"

"We lack a place where we can farm, and there are serfs, manors, and people who transport goods. The two of us alone can't handle this business, so I'm thinking about cooperating with you, my lord. I think Lord Haiwen is a man of high morals , we will definitely have a pleasant cooperation.”

"Yes, but I won't give you too much space in the first year. The most important thing now is to ensure food production."

"Five mu of land is enough, and there are only so many seeds now." Hei Jin said.

Hai Wen nodded and said, "Then let's do that first. You can talk to Xi Luo tomorrow about the specific matters."

"he is?"

"One of the cadres under me, some of Xiongshan's finances are under his control."

"Yes, my lord."

After arranging these two people, another messenger came to him from outside.He took the letter and saw what was written on it: Our people have assembled on the outskirts of the city—Ramon.

very good.Haiwen threw the letter into the brazier and burned it, then called the smiling cat and others to prepare to set off.In order not to startle the enemy, they set off in batches and took different routes.About night time, they arrived at a deserted place on the outskirts of the city.Here is a bare hill with no farmland or villages around.Haiwen asked everyone to set up tents on the spot for the night. He brought a lot of bread and a few livestock, and slaughtered them on the spot for everyone to clean up.

Then he didn't talk about business, just let everyone eat and drink, and be happy first.After dinner, he called several of his cadres individually.

Smiley Cat, Ramon, King Kong, and Hollander.They sat in a circle around the bonfire, Haiwen took out a map from his arms, and said: "The next thing I said is of great importance. If it succeeds, you and I will share the glory. If it fails, we will definitely lose face. There could be wars after that, so I want everyone to listen carefully."

Everyone nodded, and Haiwen unfolded the map and handed it to Ramon. "First of all, Ramon, your task is the most difficult. I need you to check the two bully families of Bear Mountain according to the prompts on the map. Your name is the captain of the Bear Mountain Guard. The structure of their mansion and ledger are written on the map Wait for the approximate location of the physical evidence. I want you to capture the patriarchs of the two major families alive and get the physical evidence. If the other party resists violently, I will allow you to arrest him, and if the circumstances are serious, he will be killed on the spot."

"Understood, my lord."

Haiwen nodded, and asked King Kong, "King Kong, what happened to the wooden horse?"

"The work was finished last night, and the little hammer will bring the things over tomorrow morning."

"Very good." Then Haven said to Smiley Cat and Hollander: "The mission of you two is this. You must train slave fighters as soon as possible. Let them get used to riding a wooden carriage, and be able to get in and out quickly."

Hollanger and the smiling cat looked at each other, and Master Cat said, "I don't understand, how do you ride this horse?"

"You'll understand when you see it."

The smiling cat nodded half-understanding, and then Haven asked Ramon about Mustang Town.Ramon will continue Haven's policy in Mustang Town for a while. These days, the production level of the town has increased.But he also spoke about his problems:

"Our production has increased, but we can't transport things out," Ramon said. "After the harvest that year, a lot of food can't be sold, so we can only produce and sell it ourselves. There are no canals in Mustang, and there are no easy roads to walk." , the cost of relying on people to transport it out remains high. My lord, you said before that you want to build roads and bridges, and I think this has to be done quickly."

Haven replied, "Yes, after I finish this pile of shit." But only if there is no war in the Gulf, he thought to himself.

Haven's Tactics, Part [-]

Haven's Tactics, Part [-]

The next morning, on the outskirts of the south side of Xiongshan Mountain, the troops had assembled.

Haven's troops were divided into two groups. The first group was the militia from Mustang Town, led by Ramon.Equipped with the standard equipment of the Bear Mountain garrison, they looked like a regular army.These people were carefully selected by Ramon, and many of them were veterans who had fought in wars, and their combat effectiveness was guaranteed.
