Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"You trash! Trash!"

Haiwen sneered for a while—you are finally here!

Haven's Revenge, II

Haven's Revenge, II

Then Closor Dia personally climbed up the city wall and came to boost morale.He stood there and yelled, saying that those who surrender will be killed, and those who fight hard will be rewarded. However, as long as a few soldiers followed the shout, the shout soon disappeared in the wind.

The old baron was weaker and more decadent than last time. He was like a handful of dry wood, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.After he yelled a few words, he started coughing, and then the people on Haven's side started laughing, and then the defenders on the city wall began to sway, and some people had slipped down the city wall quietly.Seeing that the time was ripe, Haiwen shouted loudly: "If you don't open the door, you will be rebelling!"

Baron Mustang yelled, "Never open the door!"

Haiwen said: "Okay! Now, as the guardian of Bear Mountain, I will sentence everyone in the city to be guilty! You have insulted my reputation and intend to harm me, the guardian of Bear Mountain. Now, if a righteous person inside the city wall can win Baron Mustang and open the city gate, I will let the past go, and reward him!"

The moment he finished speaking, several soldiers on the city wall ran towards Baron Mustang.The guy was startled and shouted: "You guys want to rebel!" He ran down the city wall, and then Haiwen couldn't see what was going on inside. He only heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside the city wall, and people turned their backs on their backs. Watching the city gates open, the iron-helmed captain came out escorting the heavily tied baron.

Haiwen said: "I keep my promise, and your sins can be forgiven—this is a reward." He said and threw a few gold coins up.The man looked terrified, didn't dare to ask for any reward, took the gold coin and ran away.

Now, Baron Mustang knelt in front of Haven.

Baron Mustang lowered his head, trembling all over.So far, there is no need to say anything superfluous.

Haven said, "My lord, look up."

Croso looked up at Haven, then lowered his head in shock.Big Charles went up and pulled his hair, and shouted: "My lord tells you to look up!" The baron screamed in pain, and said: "Don't kill me!"

Haiwen looked at him and said, "You are a vassal of Bear Castle, the lord will not kill his vassals easily."

Hearing this, the baron seemed to have grasped at straws, and he shouted loudly: "Haven? Ambleside! You are... a vassal of the Mondalia family, the guardian of Bear Mountain appointed by the Marquis, and the wild horse The king, the murderer of demons, the man of truth, the cold-blooded judge, the guardian of Bear Castle—Haven Ambside! I beg you to forgive my sins, please forgive me!"

Haiwen was called stupid by him - such a good memory?I can't even remember this list!Haiwen called Ramon and asked, "Is everything correct?" Ramon read it silently with his fingers, and said, "Well, it's all true, but he didn't mention the exile, probably because he didn't dare to say it. "

"Don't kill me! Merciful, just, er..." the baron seemed to be thinking about words of praise, "mighty, handsome..." Hearing the word "handsome", Hai Wen subconsciously touched his hand Bald, and this small gesture caused the baron to break out in a cold sweat.

"Oh! Great Earl of Bear Mountain, Guardian of Bear Mountain, Lord Haven Ambside! Please have mercy and forgive me!"

Seeing the Baron Mustang lying on the ground like a dog, Hai Wen felt quite disgusted in his heart—you are also a vassal of the kingdom and a nobleman.Dare to love nobles are shameless?

"I said I would not execute you lightly."

"Thank you!" He slammed his head on the ground.

But Hai Wen didn't finish his sentence, "You need a fair trial." Hai Wen said.

Of course the baron knew what this meant, and he burst into tears: "No! Please forgive me, I am willing to give everything I have!"

"A person's sins will not disappear because of tears, otherwise it is enough to cry louder than anyone else in court, what judge do we need?" Hai Wen raised his voice and said, "You don't have to be afraid! I won't wrong you, I I will give you the fairest trial, and you will bear what you have done, no more, no less—this is, very, fair, fair!"

"No!" The baron rolled on the ground like a shrew, his face covered in mud from crying, Haiwen waved his hand and said, "Take it down!" Then two soldiers took the baron down.Immediately, Haiwen pointed to the baron's castle and said, "Soldiers, obey orders!"

"Have!"

"Give me this castle! Ramon, take someone to count the baron's property and give me the count. I want to know how much he has stolen!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, my lord!"

Immediately, everyone broke into the castle, the baron was gone, and of course the baron's soldiers surrendered.Haiwen asked someone to move a chair, and sat at the gate of the castle. He was surprised to find that the chair was covered with gold tassel cushions. The material was warm and smooth, obviously not cheap.

It seems that the baron is very rich.

After a while, Ramon ran out, panting and said: "My lord, my lord! There are too many, too many! I can't count them all! I need to find the butler and accountant in the castle, please order someone to find .”

So Haven ordered, and after a while the soldiers called the castle steward to come out, and then Ramon led the steward into the castle again.Ten minutes later, Big Charles also came out, and he said the same thing as Ramon: "My lord, there are too many!" When Big Charles said this, there was a look of panic on his face, which could make the richest man in Mustang Town terrified Yes, definitely not a small number.

"I've heard that Baron Mustang is stingy and loves money, but I didn't expect him to be so rich! I can't even count them. In the underground vault, there are many coins that can be used for swimming! Gemstones, spices and pepper are piled up in mountains , and a lot of silk cloth... Oh, and wine! Damn, I opened a bottle, it is excellent wine! The weight of this bottle of wine can be exchanged for as many gold coins! Too fucking rich No way, my lord, I’m dizzy with money, I can’t go! You can go and have a look, it’s so spectacular!”

"I don't want to see it, you guys will move out later." It's all sinful gold, Haiwen thought to himself.There are dozens of farms in the three towns of Yemadi, which is not considered a rich place, but this baron can be so rich, he must have squeezed the people to the extreme.

Until the evening, Haiwen's people didn't finish counting all these things.According to preliminary estimates, this is the meaning of the tax revenue of Yema Town for more than ten years.At night, the army was stationed at Mustang Castle. There was still a lot of food in the castle. Everyone lit a fire to cook and camped on the spot.

In the evening, Big Charles and Hai Wen said: "Master, move these things back tomorrow, the vault at Bear Mountain probably won't be able to fill it."

Hai Wen shook his head and said, "I won't go back tomorrow, because Baron Mustang will be tried tomorrow."

Big Charles asked: "Aren't you going back to Bear Mountain for trial?"

"There's no hurry to go back to Bear Mountain."

"Where to go then?"

"Go to Mustang Town." Haven said, "I want the people of Mustang Town to witness all of this, Big Charles, good and evil are rewarded, and now it is the day of reckoning."

Chapter 7: Fasnat must travel far, a

Chapter 7: Fasnat must travel far, a

Violet was cleaning him.

Fassnut has learned how to take care of himself.The nuns of the White Council fitted him with prosthetic hands and gave him a hook to hold in his mouth. With these tools, he could basically do everything—except hold a sword.

But he can't do many things well, so someone will come to help him.Fassnut declined the help more than once, but those people just wanted to help him—most of these people were his friends, such as King Kong, Ramon, Hyacinth and Violet, and occasionally Mirsalu came back to his house Walk around, talk to him about some interesting topics, or put a pot of freshly bloomed flowers in his room.But Fassnut doesn't like flowers, because no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will wither, just like him.

At this moment, Violet was wiping the floor of his house with a mop. Even though Lord Haven freed her from her status as a slave, she usually still dressed as a maid and helped the servants with their work.Even Fasnat knew that she was a diligent woman, and she couldn't sit still if she was asked to sit and read all the time.

Violet has smooth and beautiful brown skin, a plump figure and a gentle personality. For many men, watching her labor is a kind of enjoyment-seeing her glistening sweat sliding down her forehead, watching his chest rise and fall with breathing, watching Her round buttocks when she bends over...

Fassnut knew that many men were looking at Violet with obscene eyes, which troubled Violet very much.But fortunately no one dared to touch her, Lord Haiwen was very defensive.

Fassnut is probably one of the few men who can get along with her with peace of mind, so the relationship between them is not bad, and they have always maintained a friendship of mutual respect.

It’s not that Fasnet doesn’t like women, but because Violet is really not his type——Fasnet likes all powerful things, including women, and the woman he likes must be as strong as him, or even stronger than him. Still strong.He hoped his wife could use a sword or a knife—anything else, so she could fight me decently anyway.

Oh, she can't be ugly, stupid, or evil. Being strong includes both appearance and heart.Fassnut wants comprehensive strength.

Just like himself.

Although he lost his arm, the standard in his heart has never been lowered.

But there is no woman he wants here, and there is no world where he can use his "hands and feet".Here he can only lie down, or read a book, otherwise the friends around him will be worried or even sad - Fassnut can't stand others worrying about him.

He had already decided to leave, since he had that dream, he was destined to leave.A ghoul cannot lie in a castle, he thought, and I cannot have a ghoul lying among my friends.

But before that, he needs to say goodbye to these people.

Because Fassnut is worried, they will worry about themselves - they will come to me and even blame themselves, no, I can't let them suffer for me.

So he spoke to Violet and said, "Violet, I have something to tell you."

Violet straightened up and put the mop aside, then she wiped off the sweat with her cuffs before facing Fasnat. "What's the matter?" She was nervous like an enemy.

"I'm leaving, I want to say goodbye to you, I will leave quietly one day, don't worry, and don't look for me." Fasnat said.

Violet looked surprised and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Do you think I look like a joker?"

"You..." She stepped back subconsciously, but Fasnat stopped her and said, "Don't tell the extra people."

"Why tell me?"

"I take you as a friend, Violet." I don't want people to worry about me.

Violet laughed when she heard this, and said: "Friend? No, not a friend. I have always regarded you as my younger brother. I take care of you, just like I take care of Hyacinth. Fasnat, you can live here forever Yes, I will take good care of you."

But the fierce demon has no sister, and the fierce demon is doomed to be lonely. "It's not good for anyone if I stay here. If I leave, it will be good for everyone."

Violet nodded seriously, and said, "Have you thought about it carefully?"

Fassnut nodded again.

Violet also nodded slightly, her brows were furrowed, and she wandered around the room anxiously.Violet murmured to herself: "If you insist on leaving, you must bring more people, including carriages, servants, and a lot of gold coins. You are the hero of Xiongshan, and Master Haiwen will definitely not be stingy with you. You The injury is not healed, it is best to wait a year before leaving, and... I also need to bring some nourishing medicines. Lady Gerrit has prescribed some blood-enriching herbal prescriptions. I don't know if they are useful, but it is better than nothing... I Think about it, what else..."

She was planning everything for Fassnut like a mother, and Fassnut was tired of hearing it, so he shouted: "Don't worry, I will go by myself and take no one with me."

"That's not okay! What are you going to do? Do you want to go to the big library? Or go outside to study?"

"Neither of them, don't mention books to me!" Fassnut yelled. "I'm just sick of being a scumbag here. I want to be free."

At this time, Violet looked at him seriously: "But then you will probably die outside."

"Better than dying in bed."

Violet sighed and said, "I treat you as my younger brother, and I won't allow you to be so willful."

"I..." He gritted his teeth, "I don't have a sister." I hope this won't hurt her, he thought to himself.

Violet shook her head lightly, and said: "I was the eldest daughter in my original family. I have a younger brother and a younger sister. In terms of age, the younger sister is the same age as Hyacinth, and the younger brother is the same age as you. So... …Sometimes I have this illusion. My younger brother is also an unsmiling child, very similar to you." She said with a smile, "You are the hero of Xiongshan, and I am just..." She paused For a moment, "I'm just a servant. According to the rules, I can only obey you, but I... I can't bear to see you like this..." At the end of her speech, there was a little bit of crying in her tone.

Fassnut lost his mother at the age of seven and lost his father at the age of eight. Since then, he has never known what family affection is. The boy has a heart as cold as the polar permafrost. That heart is harder than anyone else, and it melts more easily than anyone else.He can't see this kind of thing the most, he just doesn't want to make the people around him sad.

But he can't go, Fasnat—the ogre, he must go far for this ogre.

"Thank you - call King Kong for me, I'll say hello to him again, and then leave early tomorrow morning."

Violet asked: "Aren't you going to speak to Master Haiwen?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave after I've said it—please, help me pass the message."

Fassnut must travel far, two

Fassnut must travel far, two

It didn't take long for King Kong to come to his room. Fassnat briefly explained his thoughts to him, and King Kong immediately said to him: "Master, I will not stop you from leaving, but I have to go with you! I want to take care of you." you!"

Fassnut rejected him and said: "I don't need anyone to take care of me, and you need to stay with Lord Haven to serve him. Now Bear Castle is short of people. If you come with me, I will follow you Sever ties, I will do what I say."

King Kong was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, he looked sad like a wronged child.Fassnet couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.At this moment, the voice of the smiling cat came from outside the door, "What's the matter, boy, are you leaving?" He saw the short and fat man leaning against the door frame.

Fassnut didn't like the man.Although this man is called a ranger, he does not have the spirit of a ranger. He is wretched and cowardly, and Fasnat despises him.

"It's none of your business." Fassnut said coldly.

"Oh." Smiley Cat sneered, "Let's go! Let's go!" He stretched his waist and looked at the high window in the corridor, where the sun was shining down. "It's better to die outside than to die in bed."

These words reached Fassnut's heart, he nodded and said, "You are right this time."

The smiling cat glared at him, and suddenly burst out laughing.Is he laughing at me?Fassnut became annoyed when he heard his laughter, and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'll go and prepare some luggage for you!" Smiley Cat answered irrelevantly, but his tone was serious, "I'm a ranger after all, I've traveled all over the world, and I know what to bring to save my life."

Fassnut asked him, "Why did you help me?"

The smiling cat laughed again, and said, "Boy, a man should travel around—do you need a reason for me? Ha! Now you're half a ranger!"

Fassnut still didn't understand the meaning of that sentence at the moment. "Do you hate me staying here?" He asked cautiously.

The Smiley Cat burst into the loudest burst of laughter ever, and the sound shook the Bear Castle. "Boy! I still hate you!" he yelled. "Get out of here without me seeing you!"

"I don't want your stuff!" Fassnut yelled.

At this time, Violet stopped him: "Fasnut, Master Cat didn't mean that!" Then Violet and Smiley saluted and said, "Master Cat, I'll leave this to you, and I'll thank him first." Smiley Cat nodded, but Fasnat shouted: "I said I don't want it!"

Violet glared at him, "Be obedient!" She taught like an elder.

"I..." He was speechless.For some reason, Fasnat failed to defy Violet this time.Maybe the woman's eyes were too sharp, he thought.

As a result, he accepted the gift in a daze.During the following day, he went to pack some luggage by himself.He has artificial hands, and with the help of his mouth he can do this by himself.He had rations, gold coins, a few changes of clothes, and a sword—he knew he probably wouldn't need them, but he wanted to.

He went to bed early this night, unable to sleep over the joy of leaving the herbal-scented bed.

I just lost my arm, I can still fight.He thought to himself, I can live, and live well.

He left Bearkeep at dawn the next morning.He likes the coolness and tranquility of the morning, the sound of birds, the moisture of morning dew and the fragrance of green mud.

But all three were waiting for him at the gate of the castle.

Violet was wearing a shawl, standing in the morning light at the gate, with a gentle smile on his face; the smiling cat was sitting on the steps, with his back to him, and a snakeskin bag by his side; King Kong yelled when he saw him coming, and then Came over and hugged him, cried and said something incoherent.

Fassnut said to him: "I am very unqualified as a teacher..."

"Nothing!" King Kong shouted, "You taught me horse riding and spear skills, there is no better master than you!"

But I really didn't teach you anything, I just said a few words, and I didn't even try to correct your wrong actions. "That's because you practiced hard."

"No, I..."
