Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Jon and Clark purchased goods at the market, and at the same time sold some of their own goods appropriately.When the merchant Clark saw Isrit, he said to her very enthusiastically: "The great orc queen! Harpoon City is a gift from the heavens. When I send this batch of goods to the south, I will bring gold Come back here. I want to buy 77 kinds of products from you, and then transport them to the northern and western regions, so that those ignorant humans can feel the charm of the orc tribe and this fertile land."

"Then I welcome you to come anytime." The spirit of the Earth Mother smiled, neither humble nor overbearing.

At this time, Silver Fox Ranger also came up and said, "Beautiful lady, I—"

"Ranger!" Hyacinth was a little tired of his chatter, "Didn't you say that you don't pick the flowers of the Lord? My sister and I are already married. Although our husband is not here, if he knows you -"

"Wait a minute!" Silver Fox Ranger stopped, "You say 'we' first and then 'he'? Singular 'he'? Are you two married to the same person? Oh, you two are not sisters, but the kind of ...that kind of sister?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Hyacinth said.

The silver fox ranger spread his hands, his expression unbelievable: "Who can marry the goddess of the orc and the princess of the southern kingdom at the same time? Who is this guy? The king of the northern border?"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and Estherite said, "No, he's just... um... an ordinary man."

Ranger froze for about ten seconds, then said calmly, "Oh, fuck."

He spread his hands and said this dirty word.Although it is not surprising for men to swear, Silver Fox Ranger is an elegant gentleman, and Hyacinth has never seen him swearing in front of a lady.

He must be very annoyed, Hyacinth thought.

Islet frowned and said, "Please be careful with your words, Mister Ranger."

"Sorry, I just don't understand, look, I have so many lovers—" He pointed to the caravan, indeed, the dozen or so girls there were his lovers.And not only these, I'm afraid there are many other places. Silver Fox Ranger is merciful everywhere, and he has slept with eight hundred women if not one thousand.

"So what?" Estelle looked at him impatiently.

The ranger said: "I thought I understood women well. Let me ask you, is your husband handsome?"

handsome?Every time Hyacinth recalled Haiwen, he would first think of his bald head.Well, he wasn't handsome, but when he spoke, and when he delivered sentences in court, he was quite imposing.He is dressed in black, his gaze is like an arrow, and he is always upright and awesome... Who wouldn't like this kind of man?

But in any case, he has nothing to do with being handsome.

Hyacinth and Isrit looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

The ranger asked again, "Is he rich?"

"Rich?" Hyacinth thought to himself: Haiwen was once rich, he owned Bear Mountain and Wild Horse Land, but he said that the money was all public funds from the treasury, reserved for the poor.His own personal property is pitifully small, his clothes are mended and worn repeatedly, he does not wear shiny jewelry, does not ride in luxurious carriages, does not drink old red wine, and does not use gold and silver dinner plates.

He didn't go to taverns or brothels, he didn't gamble or race horses, he didn't take any of the pastimes of the nobility.Oh, he's only willing to spend money on books.

If there is any surplus, he will donate it all to the poor.

He is not rich at all.

So Hyacinth replied: "He lives in poverty, which has nothing to do with being rich."

The ranger folded his arms and continued to ask: "Then he has power?"

Estherite answered first this time: "He was a small town judge when I married him, so he has some power."

Hyacinth said: "He should have no power now, maybe in the future."

The ranger looked at Yisruite and said, "His power is definitely not as great as yours, Your Lady Queen."

Isrit said: "It must be inferior to me." Now Isrit may be able to command tens of thousands of orcs. The territory is half a big swamp. Among the human nobles, the worst is an earl.

Ranger pondered for a while, then snapped his fingers and said, "Oh, I guess he has a strong and sexy physique!"

Isrit said: "No!"

Hyacinth said: "Yes!"

There was a disagreement between the two, and they were speechless for a moment.

"Huh?" Isrit looked at Hyacinth and said, "Do you think... that lord has a very... um... attractive?"

Isn't he exercising all the time?After you left, sister, he was still recovering from his injuries. I can't tell, but after you left, his physical training has achieved results, and his physique has become very... um... tough?That is, it looks quite masculine.

"Really?" Isrit twisted her lips with her fingers, her face became very troubled, "Is that right, is it..."

At this moment, You Xia said: "Okay, I'm done asking. I must meet this man when I get a chance." After saying this, he burst out laughing, saluted and said goodbye to the two.Then he turned away and went back to his lovers in the caravan.

The two sisters looked at each other, and Estherite asked, "What does this guy do?"

"He calls himself the Silver Fox Ranger and says he is one of the Four Rangers."

"Four Rangers...then he should know Smiley Cat?"

Hyacinth said: "It should be, I didn't ask him. I hide from him now, this guy always harass me."

"Harassing you?" Isrit narrowed her eyes, "I can teach him a lesson."

"No need, sister, he's just glib."

Estherite nodded and said, "Okay then, now we... oh, you wait for me first, I have to feed the child."

Hyacinth grabbed her and said, "Sister, can't you let me see our young master?"

"He..." Eastraet hesitated to speak.She was silent for a while, and said, "The main reason is that the child is not good-looking."

Hyacinth smiled and said: "That's not important, besides, what can you see when you are young?"

"I... well, I'll take you there."

The two came to the second floor of the Witch King Tower, and as soon as they approached, the cry of a child came from inside. "Too bad, I came back too late." Isrit ran up two steps at a time.Hyacinth followed quickly, and when she got to the room, she saw that Yisrit was already breastfeeding the child.

Essraet was holding the baby, with her back to Hyacinth, she was humming nursery rhymes to coax the baby while breastfeeding the baby.Hyacinth stood at the door, looked at her side face, and thought: My sister is smiling so happily, I have never seen her so happy.

When will I be a mother? .

After a while, Isrit finished feeding her, and Hyacinth asked her, "Sister, can I come in?"

"Ah?" Isrit screamed, "Please come in, please come in, I'm sorry I forgot." She put the baby in the cradle, and then straightened her clothes.Hyacinth walked towards the baby, but at this time Essraet stopped her again and said, "Hyacinth, my son... is not only ugly, but also has some... congenital deficiencies."

Congenitally deficient?Hyacinth doesn't care about this kind of thing, no matter how ugly the child is, she is a family member. "It's okay." She gently pushed Islet away, and came to the cradle with a smile.

"Young master, come and see me. I'm your aunt." She said.

But when she looked down, the smile on her face froze instantly.

No wonder Yisruite didn't let me see, this...is this child really hers and Haven's?Hyacinth couldn't help having this terrible thought in her heart, she frowned, and thought to herself: If Master Haiwen sees this child, he will not dare to recognize him.

I shouldn't doubt my sister's character, but... this little guy is too ugly.

Crooked face, slanted mouth, small eyes, a big rift splitting the face in two, and a tumor on the top of the head. To be honest, even the orcs are better-looking than him.

"Sister!" Estelle's voice trembled when she called her, "What do you think of him...how is he?"

How should I evaluate it?Hyacinth thought to herself, it's okay for him to be ugly, but I can't say that, it will make her sad.Hyacinth didn't know how to speak.At this moment, the little monster suddenly stretched out its hands towards her and opened its mouth.Hyacinth froze for a moment, thinking: Is he going to eat me?

Then the kid let out a giggle, and Hyacinth realized: Oh, he likes me, he wants me to hold him!

Hyacinth's heart suddenly softened.

"Can I hug him?" Hyacinth asked with a smile.

"Hey?" Islet first showed a surprised expression, and then said quickly, "Yes, of course!" She clasped her hands on her chest, looking very touched, "You should hug him, you are his aunt, he ...he must like you too."

"Come on, young master!" So Hyacinth hugged him in his arms.The child squealed with joy.

How can I judge a book by its cover?Hyacinth thought to himself, he is obviously so cute.Hyacinth held him in her arms and kissed his face lightly. "Little ghost, we are a family." She whispered.

The young master looked at him blankly, and then suddenly bit Hyacinth's breast. He had no teeth, but the strength of his lips still hurt Hyacinth. "Sister!" Hyacinth said quickly, "He still wants to eat milk."

Estherite hurriedly took the baby and said, "Ah, yes, he has a big appetite." Then Estherite took off her top and tube top, and came to breastfeed the baby.The child began to cry after taking a few sips, and Estherite said anxiously: "It's bad, I have no more milk. Damn it, where is the nanny? Hyacinth, help me find the nanny."

"Okay!" Hyacinth ran to the door, and as soon as he walked out, he bumped into the nanny.The nurse was a stout orc woman. When she came in, she looked terrified and said, "Master, I just fell asleep, sorry!"

Isrit's face immediately turned cold. She handed the crying baby to Hyacinth, and then asked the orc, "Did you not nurse at noon?"

The orc quickly said: "I forgot, I missed one feeding, I, I will feed now!"

What happened next frightened Hyacinth, I saw Isrit rushed towards the nanny with her upper body naked, and then slapped her hard twice, "I told you several times that I have to feed you three times at noon !" Isrit grabbed the orc's horn like a mad witch, "Every time you forget, my son will starve!" She pressed her hand hard, and the nanny fell to her knees.The nanny kept apologizing, but Esrit didn't let her go. She stomped on the orc's head and kicked her in the face hard.

Is this Isrit?This is my gentle sister?Hyacinth was petrified, and she didn't recover until the child was crying in her arms.

"Islet!" Hyacinth shouted loudly, "You scared the child to tears!"

"Ah, I..." Upon hearing this, Estherite returned to normal.She let go of the orc, and the orc was still lying on the ground apologizing to her.Isrit kicked her again and said, "Get up, you bastard!"

What's wrong with her?How did you change your personality?

"Let the nanny breastfeed him first." Hyacinth handed the baby to the nanny, but the orc didn't dare to take it, so Hyacinth could only comfort her and said, "It's okay, we don't blame you, let's breastfeed the young master, he I’m so hungry.” Hearing this, the nanny took the baby carefully and breastfed him.

Isrit was sitting in front of the cradle, she clenched her fists, trembling with anger.Hyacinth sighed, she came to Israet, picked up the coat on the ground, and put it on for Israet.While getting dressed, she said: "My good sister, don't be angry, the young master will be fine. He will be full soon."

"I just hate that they don't change after repeated admonitions." Estherite said in a deep voice, "How many times do I have to say this? Just let my son starve, he will starve at such a young age, how can he be strong when he grows up?"

Hyacinth saw that she was angry, and knew that she would not listen to what she said.So she had to talk about other things, and after a while, the nurse had fed the baby, and Hyacinth took the baby and put it in the cradle, and put the baby to sleep.Isrit was watching from the side, she put her hands on her chin, and said: "Look, he can fall asleep soon after eating. Master Haven said that children who can eat and sleep grow faster." At this moment, her face The violence in the world has been eliminated, leaving only the love of the mother.Hyacinth looked at her, almost unable to connect the two Isrits.

Hyacinth tried to tell her what happened just now, "Israet, do you usually discipline people like this?"

Isrit was stunned for a moment, and said: "Ah... no, I only behave like this when the nanny refuses to change after repeated admonitions. It's easy to talk about other things, but about my son..." At this time, the child hiccupped, After spitting out some milk, Estherite hurried to get a towel to wipe him clean, and then changed his position to let him spit out the remaining milk in his mouth.

"Where did you just say?" Isrit asked Hyacinth.

All her attention is on the baby, Hyacinth thought. "I mean, you shouldn't..." She felt inappropriate after saying these three words, because Isrit was already the spirit of the earth mother who commanded the orcs, so she changed her words, "I mean, you shouldn't do this Good for... not good for your relationship with the orcs, or good for the child?"

"Not good for children?" She only repeated the last five words.

Hyacinth said: "If you beat and scold the nanny like this, they will only make them hate you. What if she holds a grudge and turns around to take revenge on the young master?"

"She dares!" Isrit said in a screaming voice. After she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth and went to look at her son in the cradle.

After making sure that the child was not woken up, Estelle said in a low and terrifying tone: "Whoever dares to touch my child, I will skin him alive!" Then her expression changed again, "But... if I Not here?" She said worriedly, "If I am not by his side, what if someone wants to kill him? By the way, I want to change this nanny, she may already hate me, I have to change her, I have to Change her!"

Her fragile and sensitive appearance made Hyacinth feel distressed-oh my god, how did she become like this?As soon as the child was involved, she became a different person, Hyacinth thought, her sister must have suffered a lot in the past year, otherwise she would not have changed her temperament drastically.

"Sister, if the next nanny comes, will you do the same to her?"

"I..." Estelle seemed to realize that her behavior was inappropriate, "but... I don't want my son to suffer." She whispered.

"Go and apologize to the nanny," Hyacinth said.

"Tell her well, or send someone else to remind her. Changing nurses is not good for children."

Estelle nodded first and then shook her head, "What if she makes another mistake?"

Hyacinth said: "You can punish her, just like you punished me after I made a mistake." Isrit blushed when she heard this, and said, "You...you are my sister, this is different."

Hyacinth held her hand and said: "What I want to say is that you can punish her, but don't trample on her dignity. I heard that orcs are the best way to save face. If you hit her in the face like this, it will only make her hate you." You, instead of letting her reflect."

"You're right." Estelle calmed down, and she whispered, "I shouldn't have treated her like this, Hyacinth, I... no, I've been It's always been...very weird. Damn, what's wrong with me..." She covered her face in annoyance.

Hyacinth said: "Tell me about what you have experienced over the past year, sister, I guess you must have nowhere to talk."

"Well, good." Isrit took a look at the baby, "Let's talk to the Witch King's Tower later, I'll go find the nanny first."

Isrit followed her to find the poor orc.The orc's residence is on the lower level of the Witch King's Tower, which is a servant's room next to the woodshed.There is only a bed and a wardrobe and a chair inside.Seeing Israet coming, the nanny knelt down in a panic, begging for her forgiveness.Estelle asked her to stand up, then took her hand and sat down in the room.She first apologized to the orc, then explained why she was angry, why she was moody.

The nanny seemed to be a magnanimous and kind person, and she immediately laughed when she heard Esritre say that. "Who hasn't been a mother?" she said to Isrit. "When my first son died, I nearly went mad, beat everyone, and bit off a piece of my man's ear. The orcs value babies above all. Yes, it's just... the young master's appetite is really too big, I can't remember to continue breastfeeding." She smiled embarrassedly.

They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and seeing that the orc was in a stable mood, they planned to leave.Before leaving, Estherite rewarded her with some money and promised to increase her salary. At the same time, she also warned her that if she forgot to breastfeed again, she would still be punished.The orc obediently agreed, and then the two sisters left the room.

"Don't you think this is very good?" Hyacinth took her arm.

"It's very good." Isrit smiled wryly.

Hyacinth felt that she had nothing to say, so she asked, "What's the matter, sister?"

"It's okay, um... let's go to Zulingquan and talk."

Hyacinth followed her all the way to the underground of the Witch King Tower.They passed through the large wooden door in the basement, then down the stairs, which was an underground passageway of accumulated stones and overgrown with moss.After walking for a short time, I saw two carved wooden doors with the heads of Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother engraved on them.As soon as it got closer, Hyacinth felt a hot steam.
