Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"my son--"

"Inside!" The orc let the door open, "The Holy Son is on the second floor, two witches, help her up."

Isrit wished to fly upstairs, and two witches supported her from left to right, and walked upstairs bit by bit.Bai Guo stood at the stairs to meet her, and said to her: "Mother, you have to be mentally prepared, because the Holy Son..." The female orc rolled her eyes, "The Holy Son has a strange vision, but it is true, she must be The flesh and blood of the spirit of the Earth Mother."

Estelle just wanted to see her son quickly, no matter what he looked like?He is my son!

She broke into the door, and immediately heard the sound of the child crying.When the nurse saw her coming, she stepped aside.The woman handed the swaddle to her with a stiff expression, and said, "Ma'am, this is... your son."

Estelle looked at the child and thought to herself: No wonder the witches would say that he was cursed, and the orcs would say that he had strange visions...

The child was born with facial deformities.His eyes are crooked, one to the left and the other to the top, with many whites and small eyeballs; his face is split, with a deep gully splitting from the top of his head; he has a tumor on his forehead, which looks like an orc's horn.

But the moment she hugged him, Estelle could feel that they were connected by blood.

"It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine..." Estelle held the ugly baby tightly in her arms, and the baby burst into tears.

He cried very loudly, and Estherite thought to himself, although he is not good-looking, he will definitely be physically strong in the future.

Haven, this is our child.

The Wicked Mother of Winter, Eleven

The Wicked Mother of Winter, Eleven

"Trienina, Sethe, we are going back to the city." Estherite said while sitting on the bed.The child in his arms gradually stopped crying, and he touched Isrit's face with his fingers, giggling.Estherite kissed him with a smile, and then continued to say to the others: "I must ask for an explanation."

The orcs followed her through life and death, so naturally they would not have any objections, but Trinina and Sethe persuaded her, "Isrit, you are too weak now to deal with those witches."

Estelle didn't want to lose her title of earl just like that, she asked the two of them, "Who provoked this?"

Sethe said, "It should be the elders." But immediately after Trinina said, "No, not the elders, the first people who started the trouble were the people from Hummingbird City."

Estherite asked: "People from Hummingbird City? A witch from Hummingbird City?" Could it be someone arranged by Ao Zhulan before?

Trinina said, "It's a herbal witch called..." She thought for a while, "Michalan!"

Miharan?Miharan, the witch in charge of herbs?Isrit immediately remembered the woman's face: thin, gloomy, with a hooked nose and sharp eyes...

It was she who told Razor to find Blisters!

Thinking of this, Isrit's cold sweat broke out.Seeing her gloomy face, the people also fell silent.

Isrit thought to herself: This guy, and the witches she and her gangsters, must have planned a long time ago!These people first made excuses to get rid of the razor, and then picked me up when I gave birth, just to pull me down from the earl position in one fell swoop!

If the razor was there, they would never dare to do this.

The child burst into tears suddenly, and Estherite recovered from her thoughts. "Be good, be good, my baby." She comforted the baby in the swaddle, "Are you going to breastfeed? Is it time to breastfeed?" She asked the nanny with her eyes, "When did you breastfeed before?"

The nanny said helplessly: "There are so many times a day, I can't feed it at all. My lord, your young master can eat too much."

"It's a good thing to be able to eat." Estherite said with a smile, "He cries loudly and can eat. He will definitely become a strong man in the future."

"He will be a great warrior." Bai Guo looked at the child, the love and compassion in his eyes was like the mother Islet, "He is the holy son of the spirit of the earth mother, and the son of the earth mother is the war god of the orcs. He will be invincible, Invincible."

Warrior?I don't want him on the battlefield, the battlefield is too dangerous.Estelle looked at the child, and the child looked at her.

Do you want to be a warrior?son?Isrit wanted him to decide for himself when he grew up.

At this moment a servant knocked on the door and said, "My lords! The people from Hummingbird City are here!"

Estelle stood up with the baby in her arms, and Sethe and Trinina came to help her immediately.Isrit pushed them away and said, "I have to go on by myself, I can't let them see that I am so weak."

"Isrit, be careful." Trinina said, "I'm afraid the visitor is not kind."

Sure, she thought, but I'm no good either.

Estherite came downstairs with the child in her arms, and as soon as she went out, she saw the witch's carriage parked at the door.Several elders of Hummingbird City got off the car one after another, including the elders of gold and silver (that is, the treasurer), the elders of the books, the elders of the discipline and the elders of the preaching.After that, Alita from the Sun Flag and Carissa from the Moon Flag were also present.

There are only two elders at the moment, and Tia is not here. Isrit thought to herself, maybe she doesn't want to go into this muddy water, or there are other conflicts of interest between them.All in all, don't expect others here.

The crowd surrounded the open space in front of the door, and Estherite did not show weakness, she stood at the front with the child in her arms.The little guy looked at her blankly, and she said softly to her son, "Don't let them look down on you, my son."

Her child laughed, as if understanding what she said.

"Trinina, please sing for me."

"Yes, Lord Earl." Trinina bowed her head and saluted.

So Trinina plucked up her spirits and said loudly: "The East Realm Academy Witch King, White Moth Egg, 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!"

As soon as she sang, many apprentices on the elder's side subconsciously bowed down to salute.At this moment Alita roared and said, "What are you doing? She is no longer an earl! Get up!"

Estelle looked at the stout woman and asked, "Why am I not an earl?"

Alita originally had a fierce look on her face, but when she saw Isrita, she became a little timid. "Because of you..." She paused, then twisted her expression severely, "You colluded with the devil and gave birth to unclean seeds."

"Let's put the clean and unclean aside first," Isrit said calmly, "I just want to know, who gave you this power? I am the legal earl appointed by the Duke of Mier, succeeding Aldroland. You are just witches, except for the three elders, you are all civilians. And the three elders are my vassals. May I ask you—" Isrit looked around the audience, "Who has this power?"

People fell silent.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Isrit continued: "The civilians and vassals expelled the legal earl from the castle. This is an act of rebellion. Now, I will go out of the city to meet my child, and then I will return to my castle. If you are stubborn If not, it can only be dealt with according to the laws of the empire."

Alita pointed at Isrita and shouted: "You are an academic witch, not an imperial noble!"

"Then why are academic witches sitting in the castle? What qualifications do you witches have to appear in Hummingbird City?" Isrit spoke loudly, causing her to suffer from hypoxia and dizziness. She rested for a few seconds and continued, " If we are not nobles and have no fiefs, then we are not qualified to stand in the castle. Alita of the Sun Banner, the academy witch gives you power and knowledge, but it is the empire that gives you fiefdoms and power. Don't forget this thing!"

Alita was left speechless by what she said, and Estherite thought she had a sharp tongue, and those witches who could only read books couldn't talk to her.But at this moment, someone stood up.

As she expected, this person is the herbal witch Miharan.

"Israet Ambside." The witch looked at her and said, "What we want to do is not to deprive you of the title, we want to remove you from the ranks of witches—not to mention that the third elder has this qualification, even we The elders of Hummingbird City also have this qualification."

Esriette knew about this, she said, "So what?"

Witch Mihalan said to her: "You must be a witch before you can inherit the title. If you are no longer a witch, then you are not eligible to inherit the title.

The Wicked Mother of Winter, XII

The Wicked Mother of Winter, XII

The gloomy old witch sneered, and continued: "Aristocratic hereditary inheritance can only be passed down by blood, while the rule of master-student inheritance is only limited to academic witches. This is the power that the duke grants to witches. When you are not a witch, master-student The rules that have been passed down are no longer applicable to you, therefore, you are not qualified to continue to be an earl!"

This is the Achilles' heel of Isrit. If she is not a witch, she cannot legally inherit the "Parenting from Master to Apprentice", so she must fight back. "What reason do you have for depriving me of my witchship?" she asked the man.

Elder Mihalan laughed and said, "A person who colludes with the devil cannot become a witch. Your child has the blood of the devil in his body."

"Devil's blood?" Isrit asked her, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Alita laughed and said: "It means that the devil fucked you and gave birth to this freak!"

Suddenly, Isrit's eyes darkened with anger, and she said loudly: "No! This is my husband's son! I only have his blood in my body. If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart After saying this, her body shook, and she had to give the child to Bai Guo. Two witches wanted to help her, but she gestured for them to back down.

Alita of the Moon Banner also made an attack at this time: "But you have to explain what is going on with this child, Isrit. I know you are an excellent witch, and I don't want the academy to lose such a talent. But ..." She stared at the baby with vicious eyes, "You have to make it clear, who is his husband?"

"I..." Isrit thought to herself: Should I tell them about Haven?I'm going to tell them I'm the Countess?Will they believe it?

Just when she was hesitating, the herb elder Mihalan said to her: "A child is either like a mother or a father. Since this child is not like you, then it should be like a father——I want to ask you, why did you find One..." She sneered a few times, and the other apprentices also laughed, "Such a strange man?"

Estherite said: "This child is neither like me nor his father, he was born that way."

"I believe your nonsense, Liberal Witch." Miharan nodded, "Then let me ask you again, where does your power come from? How can you integrate the power of the two factions? Where did you come from?" The ancient characters you learned? Where did you get the help from the orcs?"

"I..." Isrit couldn't answer such a series of sudden questions.Mihalan didn't give her a chance to think at all, and immediately said: "Is it because you have colluded with the devil to obtain this power? Isn't it?"

"Nonsense! I've only killed ferocious monsters, but I haven't..." She was dizzy and staggered backwards. Trinina and Sethe hurried to support her.She was too weak, and the sky was dim in front of her eyes.She heard Michallan say: "The devil has hollowed out her soul! She is not worthy to be a witch!"

It's because I just had a baby!Islet refuted her, but her body couldn't control her.

"Your witch shouldn't have this kind of power, even if she studies day and night, it's impossible!" The man continued to incite other witches, "There is only one explanation! This is the seed of the devil!"

Many people actually responded to her.Witches big and small and apprentice witches all shouted "Demon".Estherite also saw many familiar faces there, such as her classmates studying at Mrs. Vian's, and some apprentices in the castle... Estherite thought to herself: Could it be that I have committed the wrath of the public? ?Why do they want to kill me?

She suddenly remembered what Mrs. Vian had said to her.

You can't be sharp here, boy.

You cannot grow flowers of thirteen colors.

Estherite vaguely guessed why the witches dealt with her.

"Okay, okay!" Estherite said, "What exactly do you want?"

Alita said: "Get your little monster out of the academy!"

Carissa said: "The academy has no room for the cursed, Isrit."

Elder Herb said, "No, you can't go! You have to leave the cursed baby behind, and you have to go back to the altar to be purified!"

It's not enough to drive me away, but you still want my life?Isrit said: "Mihalan, do you really think that I am a scarecrow at the mercy of others?" Isrit quickly chanted a spell, her hair began to glow, and dark golden magic lines appeared on her face.

Alita exclaimed, "What is this?"

Isrit said: "Do you know the witchcraft of the Liberals? Do you know the curse of the evil spirit?" She bluffed, making the light even more dazzling.In fact, that is just a liberal blindfold.

"Don't make me die with you!" she roared.

The two orcs also roared at this time. Although there were only two orcs, they were more powerful than the witches.In an instant the girls were all timid, but Michalan ordered loudly, saying: "Prepare for witchcraft! No one is allowed to back down!"

Why can she order the witch?Estelle thought to herself, there is something wrong with this guy.

The witches formed a magic circle, and the discipline witches and field witches drew their weapons.Immediately, many mercenaries and a dozen hounds came out from behind the convoy.

They came prepared, Isrit felt cold sweat on her face, she just wanted my life!

Michalan raised his hand, ready to give an order; the orcs were ready to fight, and Trinina said to Isrit: "Isrit, surrender first, they won't kill you, then Sethe and I will think There is a way to save you."

When the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of knights drove up from the suburban road, the leader of whom was carrying Xing Xing Chess.The man blew the birdbae whistle, and the shrill sound broke the silence.

The knight team stopped between Islet and the academic witches. There was a knight with silver armor and tassels in the team. She took off her helmet, and it was the female knight Tia.

She drew her sword and said, "I will not allow anyone to harm the Earl of Hummingbird City!"

Tia only brought a dozen people, far less than the other party's large number.It seemed that these people were all her followers, and two of the maids were also used as fillings.However, knights have horses, swords and armor, even if they can't win, they can kill a few witches.After all, witches are not warriors, and they are not good at fighting with swords.

Miharan blamed Tia and said, "Are you going to betray the academic school too?"

Tia said to her: "I am a knight conferred by the earl! I swear allegiance to the lord of Hummingbird City! What are you? A dog from Ivory City!"

Ivory City?Isrit thought to himself, is it Marquis Menglanda of Ivory City?The Academy Queen of Witches?

Oh, so that's the case, it seems that it's not just about me and the witch, there is also the struggle between the East School and the West School here.

Sure enough, this kind of thing is the same everywhere.

The Wicked Mother of Winter, Thirteen

The Wicked Mother of Winter, Thirteen

The two sides scolded each other, but neither dared to strike first.The witches didn't want to be killed or injured, and the knights were too few in number to fight at all.

Isrit thought: This knight has done enough, she must not bleed for me.What's more, in a real fight, the knights have fewer people, so I'm afraid they won't be the opponents of the witches.

So Estherite said: "Witches, take a step back! Go back to Hummingbird City."

Miharan stared at her and asked, "You want us to go back to the city?"

"You go back, I will take my child and leave."

Tia gave her a look, as if approving of her actions.Yes, it is best to take a step back.

Several elders on the opposite side quarreled because of this, Miharan insisted on killing the weeds, but the other two elders felt that enough should be enough.In the end Michalan relented, and the two parties reached a consensus to take a step back.

In this way, under the intimidation of the knights, the witch left. Isrit saved the life of the child and herself, but temporarily lost Hummingbird City.

After watching the witches leave, Estherite saluted Tia and asked her, "Tia, we are not relatives, and I can no longer be an earl, why are you helping me like this?"

Tia said to her: "I just did what I should do, my lord." The female knight saluted her, "I swear allegiance to the lord of Hummingbird City, as long as you are the lord of Hummingbird City for a day, I will dedicate to you loyalty."

"But not tomorrow." Isrit said.

Tia smiled wryly.Isrit also laughed, and she continued: "Although I can't get your loyalty, I hope to get your friendship. Ms. Tia, I think you are a person of high morals, and you are different from other witches." .Now that I am an ordinary person, I beg for the friendship of a knight." Isrit stretched out her hand.

The female knight took off her armored gloves and shook hands with her. It was very cold, but Tia's hand was warm and strong.Isrit said to her: "I will never forget your kindness, Tia."

The female knight nodded and said, "I don't need you to thank me in the future. I help you out of my conscience and knightly morality. I don't ask for anything—by the way, these are also given to you." She blew After whistling, hundreds of rabbits came out of the forest. She said to Estherite: "These rabbits can understand human speech, and they will follow you in the future. It's up to you how to use them. My rabbits are dexterous, Vigilant and fast-breeding, they can be regarded as the elite troops under my command."

The Rabbit Army has many uses, and Isrit wanted this gift very much.This time she didn't refuse and accepted it directly: "Thank you, Tia, I will make good use of them. I will remember this gift."
