Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Doesn't it get out of the car without a rug?Isrit thought to herself, then you should just die in the car!

At this moment, the first two carriages began to move forward.They just ran over the petals on the ground and drove directly into the castle, and the master, Isrit, was also left behind by them.

It really doesn't give me any face, Isrit thought to herself.

The two servants of Sun Banner and Moon Banner came up to her, and the half-orc said loudly to her first: "Master Carissa told you to prepare hot water, hot milk, white cotton velvet beds, grilled sand lizards, and more." Clean holy water!"

Estelle asked him: "Who do you think you are talking to?" The servants were so rude, the master could imagine.

The half-orc stared and said, "Isn't it you? A witch with a big belly!"

Before Israet could speak, the iguana rushed up and said, "Open your eyes, orc! The person in front of you is the spirit of the Earth Mother, the mother of all beasts!"

The half-orc made a disdainful voice with his nose, and said, "I don't know any earth mother spirits, and I don't believe in your false gods!"

"You shameless orc!" The iguana rushed up to fight him, but Bai Guo at the side hurriedly stopped him.Estelle also told him to calm down first, and immediately said to the half-orc: "I see, please go to the castle first."

The half-orc left proudly, and then the man from Wine City came up and bowed, saying, "My master also has a request."

"You said."

"My lord said that I would trouble you to prepare rootless water, mercury needles, high-grade charcoal, and ten bottles of red snake wine."

"I see." Isrit said.

"Please send it yourself." The man bowed again.

Estelle sneered and said, "Okay, you can go in too."

The pale man showed a contemptuous yet polite smile, and then led people into the castle.

The only elder who got out of the car was Tia from Qingyue Castle. She stepped forward and saluted according to the standard for a knight to meet an earl.Estelle wanted to return the salute, but she held her back. "You are pregnant, so don't bend over." The smile on Knight Tia's face was a little stiff, "Let's... hurry into the castle too, it's too cold here."

Estelle recalled that this female knight named Tia became an elder only last year.Not much is known about her.But now it seems that she is not as annoying as the first two.

Isrit thought for a while and said, "Master Tia, please stay in the castle. I have already prepared a room. Also, the witch meeting will start in the afternoon, please get ready."

Tia froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm fully prepared, Lord Earl."

"I hope those two elders are also ready." Estherite said, staring at the wheel marks on the ground.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the castle, and Isrit had someone arrange a stove and a long table in the hall, keeping all the decorations and etiquette simple.After the elders had finished packing their luggage, she immediately announced that the meeting of the Wise Witches had begun.

After the arrangements were made, she sent someone to inquire about the reactions of the three elders.A moment later, the servant replied, "Alita and Carissa were furious, and the other stayed behind closed doors. Tia is cleaning her appearance, changing her clothes, and preparing to attend the meeting."

"You tell Alita of the Sun Banner, what kind of temper is there to make her come to me; then tell Carissa of the Moon Banner that if she doesn't come, she will be absent from the meeting; finally, go and tell Tia, tell her not to worry , let her come to the venue when the whistle sounds."

"Yes, my lord." The servant left the room.

Estherite has already seen that Tia and the two elders are not of the same mind. She intends to win over the female knight, and even if she cannot win over, she must keep her neutral.Otherwise, Yisruite really can't defeat the three elders alone.

Afterwards, Estherite was not in a hurry to go to the meeting place. She asked the servants to go to the meeting place to wait, while she sat in the bedroom to rest.Let them wait for a while, Isrit thought to herself.

After a while, a servant came to announce: "Alita of the Sun Banner has arrived."

"Understood." Isrit didn't move.

After a while, the servant came back and announced, "Carissa of the Moon Banner has also arrived."

"Understood." Yisrit took a sip of hot scented tea.

She will continue to wait.

Ten minutes later, she felt that the heat was almost ready, so she got up and went to the venue.At this time the servant came in again and said, "My lord, Elder Alita is furious. She smashed the cup, overturned the seat, and..."

"What else?"

"Still cursing you."

"What do you call me?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then said: "Curse you... call the child in your womb a... a child without a father, talk about your private life... uh... say you..." The servant was trying to form words, but Iss Ruite knew that the elder's scolding must be much worse than what the servant relayed.

She decided to hang that guy out for a while. "Wait a little longer, and open the windows of the meeting place to let the wind out and let everyone cool down."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, Isrit finally stood up.With the help of the servant, she walked slowly towards the hall.At the same time she had the whistle blown.

Once in the hall, she heard the elders cursing.Those filthy words were unbearable, but Estherite was calm at the moment, and some swear words could no longer affect her mind.

The moment she walked into the hall, her servant officially announced: "Eastern School School Witch King, Egg of White Moth, Controller of Stars, Moon and Storms, Lord of Baise Flowers, Mother of Orcs, Guardian of Flower Fields, King of Hummingbird City, Mother of the Son, Isrit Ambleside—come here!"

This breath-taking title is indeed deterrent, and the hall immediately fell silent.The countess sat down slowly. She glanced at the wide-open windows, and immediately reprimanded: "Which servant is this who doesn't understand the rules? Opening the windows in such a cold weather, is this trying to freeze the elders to death? Come here, close the window and turn on the charcoal fire."

The apprentices hurriedly closed the windows and turned on the charcoal fire again.The hall warmed up quickly.Elder Alyssa was a stout woman, with hands and feet as thick as a man's and a belly bigger than a pregnant Isrita; Carissa was black and thin, with small mean eyes and the hooked nose of a witch.The two elders sat on the left and right under Isrit, and cast vicious glances at her.

After a moment of silence, Alita of the Sun Banner took the lead and said, "Apprentice of Ao Zhulan, what do you mean by holding a wise meeting so early?"

Estherite said: "As you can see, I am about to give birth. If I continue to delay, I may not be able to host the meeting. Therefore, I have advanced the date of the meeting without authorization. Elders, please forgive me."

Carissa of the Moon Banner said: "Then what we asked you to prepare, have you prepared?"

"Without those things in the castle, I have nowhere to prepare."

"Don't you do what Master asked you to do?" Carissa slapped the table and said, "Do you still have academics in your eyes? Do you still have Master and elders?"

Isrit said very calmly: "I only know that this is the Earl's Castle, and I am also the Earl of Hummingbird City bestowed by Duke Miel. I have the right to exercise my legal power. As my vassals, you have no You have the right to ask for items here, let alone make loud noises and destroy public property—" Isrit glanced at the broken ceramic utensils on the ground, "This money is in your account, and you must pay it off before you leave."

Alita's face flushed with anger, and she said loudly: "You ungrateful little apprentice! Have you forgotten who gave you all your skills?"

Estelle sneered, "It's not you anyway."

Just then, the third elder entered the venue.Islet took the lead and said to her: "Please sit here, Your Excellency Tia." But the two elders stared at her, and their expressions gradually changed.

The female knight seemed to sense the subtle atmosphere in the hall. She looked around, then walked towards Isrit and bowed to her, saying, "I have met the Earl."

Esrit could tell from the very beginning that Tia and those two elders were not on the same side, so she was trying to win her over to her side—at least she wanted to make the two elders think: Tia and those two elders She is together.

It was mean, but she had to do it.She is now an aristocrat, a politician, and no longer an ordinary little girl.

"Now that the three elders are all here, let's start the conversation." Estherite said.

The musician played the music symbolically, and the waiter brought several plates of hot drinks and nuts.The elders and their servants looked at each other, as if they were saying: Is this how the meeting started?What about the lavish dinner parties of yesteryear?Where are the long tables, banquets, wine and clowns?

Yisruite said: "Hummingbird City is facing a cold disaster that has never happened in a hundred years. There is not enough supplies in the castle, so we have to keep everything simple. Please forgive me."

"I don't think so?" Elder Alita sneered, "You have the money to help those muddy legs, but don't you have the money to prepare for the Wise Witch Conference? I think you just don't take academics seriously, you liberals A spy!" When she said this, she burst into flames, Alita of the Sun Banner had been gaining prestige in the school for a long time, an apprentice who could be frightened by a look could be breathless, and a reprimand could make a witch lose her head.She angrily scolded Isrit, and said, "I've never heard of an academy student like you! You were born unclean, and you were pregnant and gave birth to children. I think your title as a countess is not clean, is it?"

This trick can't frighten Esriette. She stared at the witch and said nothing, and when she said angrily, "What are you looking at?", she said, "Alita, let me ask you one thing."

"what?"

"Are you a vassal of the Mier family, or an elder of the academy witch?"

The old witch rolled her eyes, "I am both!"

"But identities also have their own priorities. Who are you and what should I tell you?"

"Then I am naturally the elder of the academy sect first, and the vassal of the kingdom second! I am only loyal to one sect, not like you, a duplicitous traitor!"

Estherite nodded and said, "Okay, since you are an elder of the academy, then I will treat you in the way of the academy—come here! Please bring the magic weapon and star map!"

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the old witch sneered and said, "Okay, you little bitch who knows nothing about heights and depths! You are looking for your own death!"

Magical artifacts and star charts are used for the promotion and assessment of academic witches.Once this thing is taken out, the matter will not simply end.Usually, these things are only taken out when the elders test the apprentices, but now that Estherite is the first to take out these things, it shows that she doesn't take the elders seriously.

Isrit had to do this, she couldn't convince these old witches with her mouth alone, she wanted to show her strength.

The magical tools are two ivory staffs that can display the magic power of witches, and the star map is the "Witchcraft Dictionary" for assessing witch knowledge.These are the two spells that best test academic witches.Isrit said to Alita of the Sun Banner: "Now there are rumors that my elders are old and weak, and their mana is weakening—"

"Nonsense!" Alita interrupted Isrita's words, "You tell that tongue-twisting bitch to get out, and I'll show her the power of the elder!"

"I also hope it's nonsense, but if you can show your strength, then the rumors will be self-defeating."

The old witch sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You liberal little slut, do you think you can get rid of me with a little trick? Well, I'll show you the tricks of the academic witch. Deep and grand law!" Many of the attendants brought by the elders in the field, when she spoke, those people naturally echoed.However, Yisruite didn't have many cronies, and no one supported her at this time.

Then the old witch raised her hand, and the ivory staff automatically flew to her palm.Telekinesis is not a high-level witchcraft, but this behavior still won a burst of applause from the people; Isrit, who hadn't learned the spell of telekinesis, walked over and picked up the staff.In contrast to the two, many people began to whisper or chuckle.

Isrit doesn't care about these things, she has two schools of magic power and profound knowledge, and the root witchcraft she got from the tree elves, she is confident in defeating this old witch.At this time, she said: "In this case, let's take a look first-"

"Wait!" Alita interrupted Isrita again, "Since it's a witch fight, it should follow the rules of the academy witches. I'm the elder, so I should come up with the question!"

Carissa of the Moon Banner followed suit, "That's right, this is the school's rule. It's Master Ultralan—" she made a gesture of condolence when she said this, "—is still here , but also abide by the rules of the teacher."

Estelle didn't want to be led by the nose, but she couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while. "Okay then, please come up with a question."

Alita stood up from her seat and said, "Then I'll test your summoning technique—Isrit, this is the basic skill of the academic school, don't say your teacher hasn't taught you!"

It's true that I haven't taught it, Isrit thought to herself, the Ultralan school basically doesn't practice summoning.When she was thinking about how to refuse, Alita continued to shout: "I can teach you if you haven't learned it, after all, I am your teacher! You take off the earl's clothes, and then knock out the wild species in your stomach, I may I will teach you a few tricks."

This remark completely annoyed Estherite, she said: "Okay! Since you want to compete, then do it, how can you win?"

Alita said: "Look at it." She said and took out a bottle of blue oil from her arms, and she painted the oil on the top of the staff, and then drew a circle on the ground.Some people were amazed, because the circle was so perfect that it couldn't be drawn so beautifully with tools.

Then she sprinkled another handful of dust, and then quickly slashed across the ground with her staff, drawing a magic circle.The magic circle flashed a faint blue light, and the witch chanted a spell.Isrit could understand that spell, which was the language of the ancient elves.The old hag read well, but not as well as she, who had learned the language from elves herself.

As the mantra was chanted, the temperature in the air became colder and colder.Even though the doors and windows were closed, the fire was stirred by an inexplicable wind.Those who were whispering just now were afraid to speak, and there was a faint smell of corruption and stench in the air.Sethe whispered to Estherite: "Estherite, this thing is not simple!"

Although Esrit didn't understand this kind of spell, she could feel the magic wave in the air.Every hair, every pore of her felt cold.This witch didn't use pure tree elf magic, she added other things, Isrit thought.

At this moment, Alita of the Sun Banner suddenly yelled: "Get up! The dog that devours the moon!" Then the black mist filled the floor and quickly condensed into a beast.It was a vicious dog as black as ink. It was two meters long and as big as a tiger. The fangs in its mouth were like sharp knives.When people saw the monster, they all exclaimed, the vicious dog roared, and the crowd fell silent again.

Isrit stared at the dog, and she saw that it had a pair of evil red eyes, which made Isrit very displeased—this monster must have blood in its body, she thought.

Estherite hated the ogre to the core now.

"This is my familiar, the moon-eating dog!" the old witch said in a haughty voice, and the vicious dog howled accordingly.Many women shrank to the base of the wall in fright, trembling.

Isrit thought to himself: This dog has the blood of a ferocious devil, and also has the majesty of a ferocious devil.

But it is a dog after all.

"Now, let me meet your familiar, Isrit Ambside." Alita sat back on her seat, and the vicious dog lay down at her feet, squinting at Isrita.One person and one dog are all equally defiant.

Estelle asked, "How can I win?"

"That's very simple! If your familiar can defeat the Moon Swallowing Dog, then you win!"

Yisruite nodded lightly, and said, "As long as I can beat your dog, will I win?"

"Even if you win!" The witch's eyes widened, "But let me remind you, if your familiar is eaten by my dog, it will deserve it!"

"it is good."

Estherite also picked up the staff—in fact, she didn't need the staff at all, she was just showing.Unlike Alita, Isrita no longer needs to draw a magic circle, sprinkle incense powder and holy oil, and doesn't need to chant spells to cast spells.She has mastered the root and essence of the tree elf magic, and she only needs to say it silently, and the magic will come into being.

She began to chant spells silently, it was liberal magic, and no one in the academic school had seen it.

However, the first spellcasting failed, because the fetus wriggled in her womb halfway through the chanting, and it was difficult for Isrit to concentrate.The elder Yue Yueqi seemed to see through her mistake, so he laughed and said, "Don't force it, it's not shameful to lose to Elder Alita!"

Estelle glanced at her, and continued to chant the spell silently.

My child, wait a while, she said silently in her heart, now is not the time to come out.Seeing that she was in distress, some of the elders' apprentices began to talk about her and even chuckled quietly.Alita and her dog look disdainful, while Carissa sneers.

The disrespectful behavior of these people has angered Esriette—you short-sighted, ignorant fellows, when you see real witchcraft, you will...

There was another pain in her abdomen, and her child seemed to be kicking her hard.The spell was interrupted again, and Isrit held her stomach and bent down.Many people laughed wantonly this time, Tia came over to support her, and said, "Lord Earl, please suspend the meeting, I think you need to rest now."

"I'm fine, thank you." She declined Tia's proposal, "I know when I will give birth, not now." Isrit suppressed the pain with magic power, and then she imagined herself as a tree without emotion.So, she became calm.This state of mind allowed her to continue reciting the mantra silently.

A moment later, the spell began to take effect.Her eyes became brighter, her hearing became sharper, and she could feel every energy in the air.

I am the mother of the orcs, she said silently in her heart, I am the spirit of the earth mother!
