Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Eros bit her saliva and asked her, "My lord, this... can I come?"

"Huh?" Laya was stunned when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and then passed her second finger up, "You are really..." She smiled and didn't continue.

Eros picked up her finger and sucked it in her mouth.Laya stroked Eros' head with the other hand, with a doting look on her face.

Three hours passed, and the castle still hadn't quieted down.A woman was wailing, the Marchioness was yelling at the servants, and there were shouts from outside the city.However, it was quiet in their hut, save for the sound of each other's breathing.

I want more, Elrose thought, I want her, every inch of her.

"Eros, that's enough." Laya said to her suddenly, "You're almost sucking my blood dry."

Eros let go of her fingers reluctantly.Just now, her mind was full of ecstasy, and she became flushed and embarrassed.

Laya kissed her lightly, and said, "There will be a little chaos out there, but that's none of our business—go and rest, Eros."

"Yes, my lord, can we sleep together?"

"The bed is crowded." Laya said with a wry smile.

"I will lie on my side, as long as there is a small space." She gestured with her fingers, "Okay?"

Raya nodded.

So tonight they slept together.Eros hugged Laia from behind, pressing her face against her body.Eros likes the smell of Laya, which is light but sweet.

Despite the noise outside all night, Eros can sleep peacefully.

The next day, Eros woke up first.Raya appears to have recovered and is sitting in front of a mirror brushing her hair.Seeing that she was awake, Laya said to Eros: "Come and help me get dressed. I'm going to attend a formal occasion today."

"What occasion?"

Laya pondered for a moment and said, "Probably...the court."

Eros swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to continue asking. "I'll comb your hair." She said as she put on a dress and came behind Laya.At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and a soldier in chain armor broke in and shouted, "Who is Laya from the White Council?"

Eros yelled angrily: "Irreverent! Who gave you the right to break into this place?"

The man looked at the two women in disheveled clothes, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "The Marquise has invited Lady Laya to discuss something important."

Laya nodded and said, "I'll go right away."

"My lady said I must go at once."

Eros was about to get angry, Laya held her down with her hands and said, "Okay, let's go now." She tied her hair behind her casually and walked out.Eros also wanted to follow her, but Laya said to her: "You stay here." After saying this, Laia followed the guard and left. Before leaving, there was a crisp sound from the door lock, Ruth realized she was locked here.

She waited quietly in the room. Someone came to deliver her food at noon. She used money, beauty and force to ask the person, but the guy didn't say a single useful word.Eros could break out, but he didn't dare to do so, she was afraid that her reckless behavior would cause trouble for Laya.

Since the adults told me to wait, then I will wait, she thought to herself, Laya never missed my appointment.

It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon when Raya returned to her room.The saintess of the White Clothes Society looked relieved, and she said to Eros: "Let's go, the matter is over."

"Where?"

"Leave Fengleibao first." Laya said.

"Good!" Eros said excitedly.

So the two of them left the castle, and the two warriors who accompanied them were waiting for them at the gate.Eros didn't know what happened before, but she was very happy to leave this place of right and wrong.She chatted with Raya and bickered with the orcs, but she was ignored.The atmosphere is eerie.

Eros realized at this moment that something was wrong.

At this moment they came out of the gate of the city, and there were two phalanx warriors standing outside the gate.Those people were dressed in white, with right shields and left hammers. They were the judges of the White Clothes Society.But these people are not Laya's subordinates, Eros has never seen the faces of these people.She froze for a moment, then said:

"Isn't this someone from Chairman Gilda?"

"No, it's my own now." Laya took out a necklace from her bosom, Eros recognized it, it was originally Gilda's, "I've got Gilda's artifact, and punished that hypocritical devil , now that the Lord God Sect has been disbanded, the remaining fighters are willing to pledge their allegiance to me."

Eros blinked and asked, "How did you do it?"

"The Marchioness helped me," Raya said.

Eros faintly felt a very terrible thing, the sky was sunny, but she felt bitingly cold.

"What happened during this time?" Eros asked the veteran.The veteran shook his head and said nothing, while the orc said in a deep voice, "Except for the Marquis, the Marquis of Mondalia's family died of poisoning. Besides, many nobles also died."

What?Eros didn't expect so many people to die, "What else? Has the murderer been caught?" she asked.

"The murderer is Gilda." A terrible smile appeared on the orc's face, and his fangs bared from his lips. "The Marchioness accused Gilda, Lord Laya testified, and Gilda was killed on the spot. Then..." He looked Looking at these people, "The rest is what you see. These people... or these mercenaries, they temporarily pledged their allegiance to us. Now Aaron is their leader."

The orc looked at the veteran, who smiled wryly and said, "I'm also confused."

Elrose stuck in place like a frozen popsicle, and the huge shadow of Fengleibao fell on her, making her breathless.She thought to herself: Why did Gilda poison the nobles of Fenglei Castle?He has no such motive!How did Laya deduce that he did it?Besides, why is Lord Laya so calm and calm during this period of time?Why would she know she was going to court?What is the secret between her and the Marquise?

She didn't know what to do with herself.

At this time, Laya said to her: "It's time to go, let's go north next, and find the last artifact of the White Clothes Society."

Laya was as calm as when she entered the city, as if nothing had happened.Eros stared at Laya, the cold air stinging her nostrils, and she was speechless.

A whore's thought is of little consequence, and so the army sets out, sailing north in search of the last artifact.It snowed heavily that night, and people stayed in a small town at the foot of the mountain.Eros and Laya were in the same room, grilling a piece of charcoal together.She looked into the crackling flames and said, "How many people died?"

"A dozen or so," Raya said.

Eros nodded and said, "You know that someone poisoned you today... what did you do?"

"I did, I identified the murderer."

"You can't save them, so you're doing it right? This is helpless, isn't it?" Eros desperately needed an answer.

Raya shook her head and said, "I could have saved them, but I didn't. But it's a desperation."

This is not the answer Eros wanted. She wanted to know Laya's true thoughts, and she wanted to know what her god had become.So she asked the sentence of heartbreaking words:

"Is Gilda really the murderer?

The wind and snow whizzed outside the window, and the flames in the house flickered, and Laya's shadow shook and deformed with the fire.

"Eros, what are you talking about?" She asked blankly.

"My lord, let me ask you, is Gilda really the murderer? I only gave you poison powder, how did you judge that Gilda must have poisoned you?"

"There is no reason." Laya stared at Eros, "He, is, is, murderer."

Every word she spoke pierced into Eros' heart like a needle.Eros asked heartbroken: "Everything is a conspiracy, all of this is a deal between you and someone, right? You paid a dozen lives in exchange for Gilda's soldiers and artifacts?"

"I didn't pay a dozen lives," Raya said.

"Yes, I was wrong." Eros said coldly, "What you paid was not a dozen lives, but the conscience of the saint."

Laya stared blankly at the charcoal fire and said, "My conscience is still there."

"Really?" Eros leaned close to her body, and the two faced each other, "Look into my eyes, Laya, and answer my question—are you still the saint in white?"

Laya lowered her head and gritted her teeth fiercely; Eros' eyes were aggressive.

"This is the price that must be paid!" Laya raised her head and shouted, "I must gather all my strength to enter the secret realm, so that I can end this war."

She had never seen Raya speak like this.

Eros was also annoyed, she asked loudly: "I don't understand! What can there be in the secret realm? Are there mountains of gold and silver? Or are there millions of knights? Or is there a dragon?"

"Neither," Laya said to her, "there is a god out there, a real god! I, need him!"

"What did you say?" Eros was stunned.

"A god," Raya said again, "that's the only way!"

Chapter 20: Isrit and the Bronze Tree, a

Estelle is going to the Witch's Secret Realm today.

She had packed her luggage after dinner last night.According to Alzhulan, the witches' secret realm is very large, and they need to walk there for a day or two.Therefore, Yisrit needs to prepare things for camping, food, clothes to keep out the cold, outdoor survival supplies, and necessary medicines.In addition, she also organized a luggage, which included various herbs, potions, bone powder, caterpillar fungus, refined venom, animal horns, etc. used in orc voodoo.

The two guards of Estherite also wanted to go with her, but outsiders were not allowed to enter the Witch's Secret Realm, so Estherite could only let them stay in the hotel.Estelle told them, "I won't be gone for long, I'll be back in a day or two."

This morning, Isrit and Aldralan set out together.This time, there were ten people who went to the secret realm to maintain the seal. Except for her and Ultralan, the rest were Ultralan's trusted disciples.These people are all star-level witches, two of them have titles, and the others are academic masters from various places.Aozhuolan said to Isrit: "This time I am asking you to learn how to maintain the seal. You don't have to do much, just follow the orders."

This is the best way, Isrit thought, using magic will make me weak, and if I am weak, it will affect my children.

She's a witch, she's an Avenger, but she's also a mother.At least for now, she still puts her children first in her heart.

This was the last time Essraet went out. She was pregnant in July, and it was best to rest in the following days.Aozhuolan gave her the most comfortable room, and Bai Guo also prepared medicinal soup for her to take care of her body. All she had to do in the next two months was to rest in the room and wait for the final delivery.

She, Ao Zhuolan and others rode in a deer cart all the way.They walked east, saying that it would take half a day to reach the entrance to the Witch's Secret Realm.

Ultraland's disciples are very strange people.For example, the first disciple Hela, she has blue skin and deep red eyes, her body is painted with silver powder, and her fingers are much longer than ordinary people; another example is the second disciple Vigolan, she has long braids that hang down to her knees. , with bells hanging on it; the third person had many short brass sticks and knives pinned to his waist, like a blacksmith selling weapons; the fourth person was a woman, but had a man's beard, and her beard fell to her chest. like an old wizard...

Although Yisriette is a sister from the same family as them, she has nothing to say to these people.She and Ultraland sat in the carriage, closing their eyes and meditating alone.She heard people chatting outside, saying that another witch had disappeared recently, and the murderer was still not caught.It was also said that someone witnessed a ferocious demon in red mist and a ghostly throwing knife... Isrit had no time to pay attention to these things.She needs to keep enough energy to deal with all kinds of emergencies that may arise.

In the afternoon, they stopped in front of a huge lake.The afternoon sun shone on the lake, sparkling.Aldrane said to Isrit, "We have arrived."

Yisruite looked around, and saw that the lake was clear and windy, surrounded by trees that had lost their leaves, and the scenery was desolate in its beauty.She asked Ao Zhuolan, "Is this a secret place?" It doesn't look mysterious.

Ultrablue shook his head and said, "This is the entrance."

The witches walked towards the great lake, and Isrit didn't know why, so she followed behind.Then Aozhuolan and the others formed a circle, and each took out their spell-casting instruments—the medium of magic power transmission, such as magic wands of various materials, skulls with spiritual power, crystal balls, or voodoo dolls... Yi Srit's magic weapon is her homemade gloves, which are a pair of small, soft white silk gloves, which look very much like those worn by noble ladies when they attended the ball.But in fact, this glove has been soaked in potion and holy oil, and there are seven runes drawn on the palm.In the future, Isrit plans to embed a few gemstones on the glove, or wear a magic ring, but she doesn't have any suitable materials yet.

Ultralan began to chant a spell, and the other witches followed suit.Isrit was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were chanting water avoidance.After learning this magic, Isrit also chanted the incantation.As the mantra was chanted, the air became obviously drier and the temperature also increased.At this time, Ultraland clapped and opened his hands, pulling out a string of soap bubbles.The bubbles inflated rapidly, turning into giant bubbles of soap bubbles, enveloping everyone.

"Let's go." Ultrablue walked into the lake, and the bubbles moved with her.

In this way, the witches jumped into the big lake one by one by riding the bubbles.On the one hand, Isrit was worried, because she couldn't swim, and she might drown if something went wrong; on the other hand, she was also amazed at the sophistication of academic witchcraft, which was wonderful and practical.

"Hurry up, Liberal Witch!" A one-eyed witch urged from behind Isrit.

So Estelle had no choice but to walk into the lake, the lake water was isolated by air bubbles, and she didn't get any water on her body.

She walked deeper and deeper, the lake submerged her body little by little, and finally submerged her head. She subconsciously closed her eyes and held her breath, then opened them again, and took a deep breath.

Just like on land, she thought.

She opened her eyes wide open curiously to observe the underwater world, only to see that the lake water was so clear that the sunlight from the sky could directly shine down on it, and it was even a little dazzling.The surrounding scenery was distorted by the refraction of the sun, and she saw many small fish, clams clinging to the stone, barnacles, and a rotten boot entangled in weeds.At this time, a fish pecked at her bubble, and the air wall of the bubble was shaken by the fish's mouth, and Isrit was startled.

"Don't worry, even a whale can't break this bubble." Ultralan's voice came into her head, and Estherite couldn't tell where the sound came from, "Go inside, Isrit Te, control the blisters with magic. I taught you that."

Isrit understood, so she rubbed her hands together to release the magic power in her body, making the bubbles swim like fish in the lake.This feeling is as comfortable as flying.

This is the correct witchcraft, Isrit sighed in her heart, when Gerrit taught me how to swim, it was simply... a tragedy.

When Gerrita taught her how to swim in the old days, she used the liberal method.At that time, Gerrit took her to the beach and said to her: "Imagine you as a fish, and then you can breathe underwater!"

Isrit tried hard, but she really couldn't—how could I imagine myself as a fish?

So Gerrita demonstrates how to imagine herself as a fish, but Gerrita forgets one thing: she's on the beach now!

The demonstration worked, very successfully.The result was that she flipped over, kicked her legs on the beach, and nearly suffocated.

To save her, Isrit pushed her into the sea.Then Gelie continued to kick her legs in the sea, and she shouted: "I made a mistake, I imitated grass carp! I can't drink sea water!"

In the end, Islet knocked her out with medicine—this was an emergency measure, and once she fainted, she would forget that she was a fish.

Since then, Isrit has been a little afraid of swimming.

So the Liberal witchcraft is really problematic, and at this moment she thought, no, maybe the Liberals are fine, but it is Lord Gerritta who has the problem.

She didn't think about it anymore, and just swam all the way.At the bottom of the lake there is a dark hole, about as large as a sailboat.The witches poured in one after another, even though Esrit was afraid, she could only keep up.There was a strange attraction to that thing, and Estherite was sucked in as soon as she got close.

A darkness enveloped Isrit.She felt that the surrounding air was disappearing rapidly, and her body was spinning as if being sucked into a whirlpool.She began to choke, queasy, dizzy... just when she wanted to scream, the feeling suddenly disappeared.

She saw a silver light above her head.At this time, the bubbles automatically float up until they leave the water.

As soon as Isrit came out of the water, she saw many witches staring at her.It turned out that she was the last person to come up.At this time, Aozhuolan stretched out her hand to pull her ashore and said, "Isrit, are you okay?"

"It's okay." She left the water and stood on the shore, then looked around.They were on a rocky platform, surrounded by a wall of stone bricks, and directly in front of them was a huge bronze door, with two statues standing on both sides of the door.One is a murloc with a trident, and the other is a treant with leaves, branches, and growth rings.

"This is……"

"Secret Realm." Aozhulan said to her, "ancient ruins, the intersection of murloc and tree elf civilization. The truth of the world is hidden here. Witches have guarded this place for generations, trying to decipher ancient documents. It is also It is because of the teachings of these ancient gods that we can master these witchcraft."

Aozhuolan said and walked towards the bronze gate.There was a breath-like sound of wind coming from behind the door, which made Isrit feel shuddering.At this time, Uldralan began to chant spells. Esrit could vaguely tell that it was the ancient Elvish language, but she couldn't understand all the content.

With the chanting of Uldraland, the bronze gate made a piercing sound, and then the gate began to melt, turning into copper water and seeping into the cracks in the stone bricks on the ground.

Isrit didn't expect to open the door in this way, she asked Aozhuolan, "Can't this door be opened normally?" However, Aozhuolan said with a smile: "If someone tries to push the door, then he will Cursed by ancient magic to go mad."

It turned out to be a trap, Estherite nodded silently.

A group of people walked through the door.

There was a sandalwood smell and a strange smell of rust in the air through the door, and there was a wood made of bronze.Isrit was stunned by the spectacle, and she believed that even the greatest sculptor could not carve a forest out of bronze.

These bronze trees seem to grow on their own. Their bark is rough, their leaves are thin, and their branches grow freely.They are intertwined quietly like this, no one talks to anyone, and no one hurts anyone.The bronze forest was filled with gray mist, and Estherite looked at the sky, only to see a gray mist, just like the dust in the mausoleum, and the depressed people could not breathe.
