Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

No, he thought to himself, I can't die like this, I'll at least send Mirsalu to a safe place!

The knight shook off the dog and walked towards him step by step. At this moment, Tang De'en suddenly saw a black shadow flashing behind the knight.The next moment the guy let out a scream, and then knelt down on the ground clutching his back.Then Tang De'en saw a dwarf jump up and stab the knight's left neck with a knife.The knight raised his huge fist before dying, but the dwarf disappeared in an instant.The knight struggled a few times, made a suffocating sound, and then stopped moving.

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the sky and the earth were like daylight in an instant.Tang Deen saw Mirsalu standing behind the corpse, her wrists were stained red with blood.

Tang De'en was stunned, and murmured: "You are..."

"Uncle Cat taught me." She wiped the blood from the dagger on her clothes, and then hid the murder weapon in her trousers.Her expression looked very calm, but Tang De'en saw her hands shaking non-stop.

What a brave girl, Tang De'en thought to himself, she deserves to be his daughter.

Mirsalu said to him: "Grandpa Tang Deen, let's go!"

It's time to go, Tang De'en thought to himself, but the carriage had already rolled into the river. "Our horse is gone, Mir, may I carry you?" he asked Mirthalou.

Mir shook his head, "We can ride it." Mirthalu walked towards the Wurm.Tang Deen shouted quickly: "Stay away from that thing!"

"It's okay, I'll discuss it with him." The little girl walked to Yalong's side. Her whole body was not as big as the lizard's mouth.Tang De'en was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, he said: "Be careful! This thing is very vicious!"

Mirsalu patted the Yaron's back first, and then whispered a few words next to the giant beast.After a moment, Wulong bowed his waist. "Grandpa Tang De'en, come up!" Mirsalu said to him.

Tang De'en nodded in astonishment, and immediately climbed up Yalong's back.The big lizard snorted like a horse, then turned its head and roared at him.Tang Deen backed away in fright, but Mishalu grabbed him and said, "Misha asked you to hold on to the rein, Grandpa!"

It was only then that Tang Deen realized that one of Mirsalu's adoptive mothers was a witch, and she must have learned animal language from a witch.So he tightened his grip on the reins and said, "Then it's up to you, Mirsalu, and... Misha?"

"Ow!" Yalong let out a piercing scream.

So they galloped on the Yalong like this.The old and the young chose a very quiet road. The heavy rain washed away their scent, and the hounds could not catch up with them.They didn't know where to go, they just kept running.The river roared behind him, and Tang Deen realized that there was going to be a flood soon.They walked like this for half the night until they were exhausted.

"It's time to stop! We're safe." Tang De'en said as he climbed down from Yalong's back.He tied the Wurm under a big tree and let Mirsalu down too.

It's already three o'clock in the morning, but the rain is still falling, and it doesn't look like it will stop.

Mirsalu's long hair was sticking to her face, and her little face was purple with cold. "Grandpa Tang De'en, where are we going?" She asked him in a low voice.

where can we goWhere can I go? "I don't know, my little angel." Tang De'en stroked the little girl's head, with tears running down her face.

Rolling thunder roared in the dark night, one old and one young, the two lost people were swallowed by the rain.

Chapter 12: Tenth day of college

Chapter 12: Tenth day of college

Thunder clouds roared in the distance.

Isrit stood on the treetop of "grandfather", staring towards the northeast.

These days, she happens to be learning the art of appreciating the sky, so she can distinguish the signs of the sky.

Obviously this is an ominous sign.Thunderstorms and heavy rain all night meant war, slaughter and destruction.

"Mother, it's too dangerous there," Bai Guo said to her from under the tree, "You are pregnant."

Being pregnant for three months did not affect her normal life. These days, she is full of energy and even feels more energetic than usual.Bai Guo said that this is a good thing. If the mother is healthy, the child will also be strong.

She stroked her slightly raised belly, and the corners of her mouth curled up.Is it a boy or a girl?And what should be his name?Master Haiwen must be very happy to see him, right?

Islet grabbed hold of her grandfather's thick branches and climbed down.Bai Guo wanted to pick her up, but she jumped off and landed lightly on the ground.She didn't want to live so squeamishly, she left her hometown, and this place didn't give her a squeamish environment.

It's daylight, and it's time for morning classes.

Estherite was also the first to arrive this morning.Since coming here, she has shown extraordinary hard work.She went to bed late and got up early, concentrating on her studies.Estherite was already smart, and her hard work and smartness made her grades improve rapidly, and he quickly finished the introductory courses of the academy.Now she looks a bit like an academic witch, for example, she already knows the sky-gazing technique and has mastered the basic theory of star-moon magic.

Her diligence even moved Mrs. Wei'an, who had always looked down on her.Mrs. Wei'an gradually became patient with her, and even took the initiative to care about her studies.With the patient teaching of the teacher, she made rapid progress.

But her behavior aroused the disgust of other students.

In the past few days, many witches have come to trouble her, some are threatening, some are insulting her, and some even want to curse her with witchcraft.Estherite dealt with these people one by one: if she threatened her, she would just ignore it, and if she insulted her, she would fight back with words. If someone wanted to use witchcraft, then Isriter would undo her spell first, and then go to Madam Vian Report there.Although the old witch is not a good teacher, she is a dogmatic person. She cannot tolerate some of her students using magic to harm others.

But the contradiction did not disappear, but intensified a little bit.Those academic apprentices seemed to dislike Islet.Estelle didn't understand, I treat people politely and abide by my duty, why do people make trouble for me?Later, Bai Guo said to her: "My lord, they just don't like people who are better than them."

The iguana and ginkgo are keeping her safe, so nothing will really happen to her.However, these guys are as annoying as flies, and Isrit who is often messed with has no intention of studying.

Estherite has always had a muddled attitude, but something happened in the morning class this morning completely angered her.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Wei'an became addicted to alcohol, so she asked everyone to study by themselves and went to drink by herself.Except for Islet, none of this group of apprentices was willing to seriously study by themselves.A group of people chatted under the shade of the grandfather's tree, while others were cutting their nails and eating the leftovers of breakfast.

Estherite concentrates on her studies and has no other distractions.At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, why is your stomach so big? Are you pregnant?"

Isrit looked up and saw a thin witch. "Yes, it's been three months." Yisrit said.

The witch reached out to touch Estherite's lower abdomen. Her hands were dirty and her long nails were full of black mud; Estherite subconsciously moved away and said, "What are you doing?"

The witch said, "Pick up your clothes, and I will touch your belly."

Estelle was very sensitive about children, so she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I don't want to be like this."

The witch said: "Pretentious!"

Estelle ignored her.

The man felt bored, so he changed the subject and said, "Whose child does it belong to?"

Estelle didn't want to say that her son belonged to the Earl of Bear Mountain, but she didn't want to lie about it either. "It's... my husband's," she said.

"Who is your husband?"

"A man," she whispered.

"Nonsense, it must be a man! I mean what is his last name? What does he do?"

Estelle was a little annoyed, so she said, "Sorry, I can't tell you this."

The witch squinted at her and sneered disdainfully. "It seems that your man is a lord who lives in a castle, so the name cannot be mentioned!"

Pretty much, Isrit ignored her.

"Oh? Are you the lord's mistress?" The woman smiled wickedly.

No, I am his wife, Isrit thought to herself.

"Is that a big job for your lord?" she continued to ask.

Estelle just wanted to slap the bitch, but she knew she couldn't do that, so she lowered her head to read and chose to ignore it.

The witch felt bored, so she went to chat with others.Estelle saw her and others pointing at her, but she didn't know what they were talking about.

In fact, Estherite is very lenient, as long as her child is not hurt, she can bear anything.So she also regarded this harassment as an ordinary daily life, thinking: I shouldn't have the same knowledge as them, reading is the serious thing.

However, at this moment, a voice came into Isrit's ears.She heard the little witch muttering to others, "I don't know if it's the bastard of some wild man, maybe she can't find who is the father of the child. Haha!"

This sentence really annoyed Isrit.Someone had bullied her and made trouble for her before, but most of the time Esriette chose to let things go.But this time Esriette couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward and picked up the collar of the bitch, and then slapped her hard.

"The son in my womb belongs to me and my husband! He has a name and a surname, and he has a noble bloodline!" Isrit said to her, "What are you, dare to slander my husband?"

The woman covered her right face and shouted at the top of her voice, "You dare to hit me?"

Estelle let go of her collar, and slapped her on the left cheek with her backhand, using more force than the previous one.The witch was whipped around in circles, and then fell to the ground.Everyone around exclaimed.

"I dare to fight." She said and walked towards the man. When she took a step, the witch took a step back.

Isrit said to her: "I don't allow anyone to insult my husband and children. If someone asks why your face is hurt in the future, tell them what I just said."

The little witch was so stupefied that she nodded her head in a daze.So Estherite no longer cared about her, and returned to her seat to study silently.After that, the chatter around her became much quieter, and some witches imitated her and began to read books.

An hour later Mrs. Vian came back drunk and continued to give her lessons.It's as if nothing happened here.

Since that day, no one has come to harass her, let alone make fun of her child.

Chapter 13: Cloin's concerns, a

Chapter 13: Cloin's concerns, a

The meeting had been going on all day, both the old prime minister Kloin and the young king were tired.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, dyeing the meeting room golden.Not far away, the Tianhu Lake exudes bright light spots, and the singing of birds is very pleasant.

This atmosphere is just right for a nap.

However, the roar of the Grand Knight Commander tore the atmosphere to pieces, and the noise shook the prime minister's head.

The current Grand Knight Commander is Hassan Heron Mulister, also known as Blood Knight, Red Knight, or Punishment Knight.He was tall and thin, and he didn't have a few pounds of flesh on his body, but his skeleton was very majestic.He has a big beard and sharp eyes.At this moment, he said loudly: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my colleagues! What are we waiting for? Your Majesty, let me lead the army! I will plant our flag on the wall of Jinsha Castle!"

The prime minister stared at the man. Hassan Heron Mulister was wearing a silver-hooked silk jacket and wide-leg trousers. His chest and back were drenched with sweat, and a dark inverted triangle was printed.He was sweating profusely, and many beads of sweat would fall every time he said a word.

"Little Trident is arrogant! He is an arrogant idiot, and as masters, we should teach him to be a man!" the knight roared, "Now he has brought the main force to suppress the riot in Bear Mountain, and only The next bad old man. I can crush him with one hand!"

The king yawned, then gestured to Chloe with his eyes.Kloin glared at the little king, and immediately said to the Grand Knight Commander: "Your Excellency Hassan, you can't be so reckless in the war. The soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used. Our logistics supplies are not yet complete, and we can't afford the one hundred thousand you asked for." Army."

Hassan Heron sneered, and said: "My lord prime minister, you need to seize the opportunity to fight. The opportunity is like lightning, and it is fleeting. Now that the interior of the Sands Castle is empty, we can win the battle quickly. We don't need a hundred thousand troops. I just need to 1 people can win Sands Castle!"

Neither the chancellor nor the king spoke, and there was an odd laugh from the other corner of the table.Vulcan leader Exlid scratched his chin with his sharp nails and said, "Hassan, tell me what to do?"

The prime minister looked at the man—Exlid wore the same red robe regardless of whether it was hot or cold. He claimed to be possessed by the god of fire, and he was not afraid of the heat and cold.The man was very evil, with a hooked nose like a wizard, a pair of yellow eyes, and a devilish sulfur smell on his body.

"Why should I tell you?" Hassan Heron asked him.

Exlide said, "Because Vulcan wants to know."

Hassan Heron glanced at the king, and the little king Cade smiled and said, "Then you can tell and listen, because not only Vulcan wants to know, but your king also wants to know."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hassan Heron said.

So the knight ordered someone to set up a sand table on the conference table and personally lined up the troops.He first laid down Eagle Head City, Tianfu Pass and Sand Castle, and then used many blue flags to refer to the army in the bay, and used red to refer to himself.

"Now we know that the main forces in the Gulf are on their way to suppress the bandits. It takes ten days to go from Jinsha Castle to Bear Mountain. According to intelligence, they should be here now—" He placed the biggest chess piece on the Red River east of Baishui Bay, " The little trident and his main force are here, and their logistics supplies are here." He drew a few lines on the sand table with his fingers, "Since the little trident marches in a hurry, the supplies will be slower than the vanguard, so the logistics troops In the back." He tapped on the yellow square representing the Golden Sand Castle again, "Here, the Golden Sand Castle. There are at most 5000 people guarding it here, and the guard Solista is a waste. The above are the troops from the Gulf."

The king nodded and said, "Then tell me what you want to do?"

The knight drew a line with his hand and said: "From here, from Eagle Head City to Jinsha Castle, I let two thousand cavalry rush through the Antler Pass at the first time. Then the cavalry was divided into small groups, and some of them went to investigate the movements of the local main force, And intercepted the messenger; the other part went into battle lightly, I want them to harass the little trident's supply troops. I only give them three days of rations for these people, if you want to survive, you have to go grab it yourself!" He waved his big hand, his face Full of murderous intent.Kloin couldn't help feeling palpitations as he watched from the sidelines. The Bloody Knight has always been ruthless, no matter to the enemy or himself.

"Afterwards, I will personally lead people to attack the city. Within three days, the Golden Sand Castle will be destroyed!"

Exlid laughed and said, "The Sands Castle has a wall and a moat. The inner and outer castles are impregnable. What do you use to break the castle?"

"I have the best siege equipment, and the Dragon Knights, isn't that enough for me to destroy the broken castles of the Baylanders?"

Exlide shook his head, and immediately said to the king: "Your Majesty, I think it's better for me to do this."

Hassan Heron raised his eyes and asked, "Why are you going?"

Exlide twirled his fingers and sparks flickered out of nowhere. "I have this," he said.

"Small tricks." Exlid sneered, "You can't even light the stove, so can you use it to attack the city?"

Exlide said in a very gloomy voice: "If the flames are angry, then this world will cease to exist. My wizards and I can easily take the Golden Sand Castle."

The king nodded and said, "Tell me about your tactics."

Exlide shook his head and said, "Only the weak need tactics, and I don't need tactics."

Hassan Heron sneered and turned his head away.The prime minister observed all this and thought to himself: These two people are too active, what are they trying to do?Is it to make contributions to the empire?Ah!

The little king smiled, "Then tell me how the strong do things."

Exlide rubbed his palms, and black smoke came out of his fingers.The cloud of smoke enveloped the sand table in an instant, and then the smoke turned into a large army. The prime minister saw there were huge beasts and terrifying monsters.As soon as the leader of Vulcan waved his hand, the army of black smoke swallowed Jinsha Castle.Hassan Heron laughed and said, "You've made the Sands Castle disappear by juggling! Well, go and juggle the little trident!"

Exlid's face became grim, and he growled, "This is the power of the ferocious demon, Hassan! I will use the ferocious warriors to destroy the Golden Sand Castle. With these warriors, we don't need any tactics. Because There is no creature in this world that can match them!"

"Really?" Hassan snorted, "My brothers also ate grilled monsters this morning, my lord!"

The eyes of the two collided, and the prime minister hurriedly said, "You two, please be patient. We didn't say we would attack the Gulf, and the king has the final say on this matter."

"Yes, the king has the final say." The little king supported his head lazily, "Then it's up to you, Prime Minister, tell me your opinion."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chloe's Concerns, II

Chloe's Concerns, II

The prime minister had another idea.

"It's good to keep the enemy out of the country. Our consistent principle is: don't let war happen in our country." His words were approved by the king, and the little king nodded at him, "Then no matter Win or lose, we will end the war outside the gates of the Father."

"My lord, I will not lose." Hassan Heron said in a rough voice. He clenched his fists tightly, and the sand fell from his fingers. "We will take the Golden Sand Castle lightly and expand the empire."
