Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"The deep ocean that holds everything, the souls of the dead will ride your ocean currents and go far away." Putin, with a pair of giant eyes, is singing loudly, "Today, the dead will be eternally happy and will no longer suffer from the suffering of the world. You will reunite with your ancestors , enjoy endless food and wine in the Land of Elysium."

Grilas Vladimir Putin, the high priest of the Sea God Cult, presided over today's funeral.Laya was very surprised - shouldn't he be in Fengleibao?Why are you here?

The Grand Duke has only been dead for two days, how did this guy get the news and rush to Jinsha Castle?

But this is not important, the demon monk Putin, as the highest level priest present, is qualified to preside over this kind of ceremony.The original host was also a member of Poseidon, but its level was not as high as Putin's, so Putin was asked to do it for him.Many people believe that this demon monk really has some kind of supernatural powers that can save the souls of the dead.But Laya knew that although Putin knew some magic, he didn't understand spiritism or necromancy-in fact, these spells couldn't supersede the dead.Laya does not believe that there is heaven or hell in the world, and saving the dead is just human self-comfort.

There was a long burning lamp on the coffin, and the little trident knelt under the coffin, and the light shone on him, leaving a huge shadow.He was dressed in black, and his broad shoulders looked like a stone wall.

The rest of the guests stood behind him, separated from him by a dividing line.Bone? Kahn knelt there like a giant beast, being watched by people.No one is silent, Raya thought, everyone is staring at the monster.

After Putin finished speaking, Little Trident immediately stood up.Originally, according to the rules, he should get up with the support of the monks.

Yes, according to the rules, but obviously Little Trident is a non-rule guy.If everything was in line with the procedure, then he should cry next time. As the eldest son, the more grief he expressed at this moment, the better.And only when he took the lead and started crying, the people below could follow suit.

But Little Trident won't cry—this man named Bugu Kahn stands under the ever-burning lamp, as if he is a warrior on the verge of battle.His face was cold and stern, but there was no trace of sadness.

"My father is a wise man." He said this, and the people below looked at him, and then looked at each other.

"But he's also a coward."

His nonsense made time freeze in the hall.

No one dared to comment on the Grand Duke of the Trident. He is the legendary Duke of the Gulf. He fought the southerners, quelled the civil war, hunted the lizardmen, and even hunted giant whales.If they are all cowards, I am afraid that there will only be women and children left in the Gulf.All the guests stared wide-eyed, and whispers came from the crowd.

Laya saw the old butler standing aside with a quill pen in his chest, trembling all over, his face livid.

"I know, I know, many of you are upset when I say that about him. You think I'm not qualified to say that about him, you think I'm wicked, you think I'm crazy...but it doesn't matter what you think. I I say this today to tell you a story." He took off his black robe and top, revealing the prince's proud chest, and the guests couldn't help but choke.

Little Trident's body was more toned than any man Raya had ever seen.He has bronze-colored skin, which is the color of the sea breeze; he is very strong, as strong as an iron man, and no excess fat can be seen on his body; his muscles show coordinated lines, perfect like It is a classical hero stone carving in the hands of the master.

Laya suddenly had an idea: a person with such a body would definitely not be an ordinary lunatic.

She was stunned for a while, before suddenly realizing that there was a scar on the little trident's chest.The scar was a round hole, about the thickness of an arm, some kind of spear wound, Laya thought.At this time, the little trident turned around, and Laya saw that there was another same scar on the corresponding position on his back.

This meaning is self-evident.There was a gasp from the crowd below, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray leather cap walked out of the crowd and asked angrily, "Who dares to hurt our future Duke like this?"

The little trident stared at him, but didn't speak.The man immediately trembled under the gaze of the new king. He stood there in a dilemma, unable to speak a word.

After five seconds of silence, the little trident asked, "Who are you?"

"Your Excellency, I am your vassal, the Baron of Birchland, Joa Horiko."

"Oh." Little Trident nodded expressionlessly, "What did you say just now?" He plucked his ears.

"I..." The man rolled his eyes, "I said I will arrest those who hurt you."

"What will you do with him if you catch him?"

The man immediately said: "Of course he is executed! Cut him in half, dismember him, and then..."

At this time, Little Trident showed a strange smile on his face. He pointed to his father's coffin and said, "He's right here, come here."

The air froze again, and the little trident seemed to have a magic to freeze the atmosphere.Every time he speaks, he is destroying people's nerves.

Baron Horico opened his mouth wide in fright, then knelt down on the ground with a plop.Little Trident laughed loudly, and he said loudly: "It's just right, I want to let all of you know! I hate this kind of dog who only talks flattery, and I like the kind of people who really have skills." Laya I vaguely felt that the little trident had glanced at her—I hope it was my illusion.

He pointed his chin at Baron Horiko, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "A person like you who has no sense of honor is not worthy of being a vassal of the kingdom."

"I, I, I, I..." He held back for a long time, and squeezed out a word, "I'm wronged!"

"A person with a sense of honor will not kneel down easily; besides, I know how corrupt Baihuadi has been these past few years. You overused the power given to you by the kingdom in your territory. So you are not wronged at all. I Now deprive you of your title and demote you to a commoner. Your land will be managed by Jinsha Castle in the future. As for the charges..." He pondered for a while, "Oh, the charge is that you insulted the former king and said that you would cut him in half and then dismember him. What do you think?"

"No, no, no, no, no..." The man could no longer speak a complete word.

The little trident glared at him, and said, "But I'm benevolent, so I won't kill you—get out."

"Thank you, sir!" The man picked up his hat, hugged his head and ran away.

Looking at this scene, Laya felt at a loss for what to say. She had never seen such a funeral.It didn't exist in ancient times, and it won't exist in the future.And she can be sure that this farce is far from over.

"Now, let's talk about the story of our father and son." The little trident said while touching the scar on his chest.

This time, no one dared to talk too much, and everyone quietly listened to the little duke's story.

The little Trident stroked his father's coffin and said: "My father, the Duke of Trident and the Duke of Whale Hunting, is a hero in the eyes of everyone in the Gulf. Maybe some of you hate him to the bone, but you still respect him in your heart, yes ?"

No one dared to speak, the little trident gave a wry smile, and said, "Me too, I used to be like this. When I was young, I regarded him as a god, and thought everything he did was correct, until an accident happened. This accident It made me doubt our family, our glory, and my most beloved father—Steward, you know about it."

The old butler Nader turned his eyes away at this moment, not daring to face him.Little Trident sneered, and said, "I was still learning to read and write when I was six years old, but I was born smart, and at that time I could already understand all the books in the library."

He's bragging, Laya thought, not even an adult, not even me right now, can claim to understand all the books in the library.Those profound ancient books and obscure scriptures are not something a child can understand.

"I practice martial arts during the day and read books at night. One day I found a locked box under the desk in the corner of the library. The box is covered with rust, and it looks like it has been around for decades, or even a hundred years. I know Jinsha The Fort Library is older than my grandfather. It is not uncommon to have an old box. But the strange thing is that this box is firmly nailed to the ground and has a triple lock. I was very curious about it when I was young So I went to my teacher at the time, Director Nader, and asked him, 'What is locked in this box?' Guess what he said?"

Laya couldn't guess what the old housekeeper said, but she knew that the old man's expression was already very bad.

"He said: 'It's just an ordinary box, it's old and dirty, don't touch it.' I asked him: 'Then why didn't you throw it away?' He didn't answer me. In the silent night, I came to the library. With an oil lamp and a hammer, I picked the lock of this box." He was silent for a moment, "There is a book locked there, a history book."

The little trident said in a crooning voice: "Why do you lock up a history book? Why? I opened that book. It was the genealogy of the Kahn family, and it also recorded the kingdom of the Gulflands. history. I saw things there that no one had ever told me. I saw that the Gulflands used to be an independent kingdom, and we and the northerners were sworn enemies for generations. I saw the glorious Dongke Dynasty and the Chauvin Empire. And the glory of the ancestors; I was fascinated to watch, from our first ancestors, to my father's generation. When I came back, it was already daylight, and I could barely keep my eyes open from crying. "

"My subjects, do you know why I weep?"

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered him.The little trident let out a long sigh, and the last ever-burning lamp swayed with this tone.

red and white farce, seven

red and white farce, seven

"I don't understand, where is the honor of the Gulf? Chauvin III and the Lord of the Sea God, our last two heroes, two warriors. 200 years ago, they led the boys of the Gulf against the northerners. In a bloody battle, we defeated the enemy army at Lujiao Pass, and then we were plotted against by the villains in the south, and then we lost to the horsemen in the north (Note ①). Later, we became slaves of the northerners, the king became a duke, and the duke became Marquis, the knight becomes a commoner, and the commoner becomes a slave." Note ①: Rider is a derogatory term for knights.

People were still silent, and several ministers stared at the little trident with inexplicable emotions in their eyes.

"It is clearly written in the book, how we failed, how we became slaves, and even at the end there is the ancestral precept of my ancestors, which is written in blood: Sons and daughters of the Kahn family, There are three things that must not be forgotten. The first one—” He raised up his thick index finger, and the big iron finger on it was like an iron handcuff, “You must remember that the northerners slaughtered our men, rape-forged We women, the blood debt must be paid in blood; the second thing, the southerners betrayed us, our king died of the witch's poison, you should arrest their king and dig out his heart before the tomb of the former king; the third thing matter, revenge is not a simple matter, you should have children, one generation cannot do it, only two generations, as long as you remember, you will succeed in the end." The little trident glanced at the people below, and as far as his eyes could see Everyone in the place lowered their heads. At this moment, he gave a wry smile and said: "As a result, in my father's generation, I have forgotten everything. My teacher never told me such a thing. At that time, I thought that we all If you are a subject of the northerners, you should be loyal to those noble lords."

The old butler couldn't help shouting: "That's because you were too young at the time, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept such a fact!"

"You want to tell me the truth after I've been domesticated - if you train a wolf to be a dog, then even if you tell it 'you are a wolf', he can't change back!" Little Trident The roar was deafening, and many people trembled in fright.The funeral has turned into a personal speech for him.

"I asked my teacher at that time, and his answer was the same as today; then I cried and asked my father-my heroic, merciful, invincible, great father! Why do we bow down to the northerners? ? Why did we forget the teachings of our ancestors? When will we make our enemies pay in blood? Huh, guess what?" He patted the coffin board, "He slapped me for the first time and said: 'Don't ask me again This kind of question, forget about it!'” From that moment on, I thought he was a coward.

Grand Duke Trident is just looking at the big picture, he wants peace, that's why he doesn't do that kind of thing, and you don't understand.Laya didn't know when the funeral would end, and she had to hurry back to Bear Mountain.She has to do something.

"A coward is not qualified to be the king of a country! Therefore, I will fight him!" What he spit out was not words, but rolling thunder and lightning, and what he breathed was not air, but fiery madness, "I will defeat He, so I am the new king! I said to him, if I win, it means that you are old and you are not worthy to be king. Let me take the throne immediately!

"I was 16 that year, and he was not yet 50 years old. At that time, he had just cleaned up the lizard people in the east, and he was still strong." The little trident clasped his five fingers tightly on the scar on his chest, "And this scar is Leave the duel to me."

The new king challenges the old king, betting on his life.Raya stared at the scar, the scar a father had left on his son.

"You all think I've lost? Ha!" He slapped the coffin, the grand duke's coffin shook for a while, and one of the ever-burning lights went out.

"Actually, I won, but my father lied to me." He said in a deep voice.

At this time, there was a commotion in the hall, and people finally couldn't help screaming.Grand Duke Trident is well known in the world, he is an upright hero, how could he lose to his own child?How could he lie to him?

Then a fierce man stood up and shouted: "Impossible! The Grand Duke Trident cannot lose to you!"

This time the little trident did not get angry, he nodded and said: "Unfortunately, I can't prove what I said, because it was only the two of us." Then he ignored the questioner and continued: "I beat him up." I have inherited all his strength, and I am stronger, younger, braver, and smarter than him." Without shame, Laya thought to herself. "Just when I was teaching him to admit defeat, he sneaked up on me, and he stabbed the spear into my chest. Before we thought about the relationship between father and son, we didn't really take it seriously. But this time he really wanted to completely Kill me. He said to me, people like you can never rule this country, you will bring terrible disasters to this world. Hahaha..." His laughter was so terrible that the whole hall was shaken shake.

Another long-burning light went out silently.

"I realize I can't die, because if I die, this coward will choose a weaker heir than him, and then the bones of the Bayland will be soft, and the honor of the Bayland will be gone, the ancestors of the Bayland, will cry!"

"At the last moment, I compromised and said that I would give up the right of inheritance, that I would abandon martial arts and follow literature from now on, and begged him to save my life." The little trident said with a sigh, "After all, his heart softened, so I said he is a cowardly man , if it were me, I would never show mercy."

"Bastard!" A hoarse roar sounded.Director Nader pointed at him and cursed: "You bastard, how could Grand Duke Kahn have a son like you? You have no humanity, you...you..."

"I'm just stating the facts, Steward." The little trident tilted his head and looked at him, "Film Kahn, he is dead, and any dead person should be treated fairly. Since you said he was an upright man , so is there any problem with me telling these facts?"

"You idiot!" The steward threw his hat on the ground and said, "Forgive me for being too old and weak to serve you, the Grand Duke! Allow me to resign."

The little trident waved his hand, "No!"

So the old butler left quickly, and Laya couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the old man's back: He had been loyal to Jinsha Castle all his life, and he ended up like this, which should not be done.

At this moment, a voice among the crowd said: "You mad king! The Gulf land will surely fall in your hands, you are ashamed of your ancestors!"

Raya looked at the man, who was a burly old man.Compared with ordinary people, he is very strong, but compared to the monster-like little trident, he is like a baby.Laya knew him. He was a Knight of Lance, whose fief was located in the Northwest Road. He was once a fierce general under the command of the Grand Duke of the Trident.He was one of the most capable knights in this dynasty. He conquered all over the world, fought against southern slave owners, orcs, and lizardmen, and suppressed riots in the Reach.His ancestors were knights, and loyalty and honor flowed in his veins.

The little trident roared at him: "I am the only one who can stand up to my ancestors so far! You, you, and him!" He clapped his big hand on the coffin, and the last ever-burning lamp was also extinguished. "What qualifications do you soft-boned guys have to say that about me?"

Dorry Lance let out a hoarse roar, and his beard exploded, "Bone? Kahn!" He pulled out his sword with a bang, "You said you defeated the Grand Duke in a duel? I don't believe it! Come and compete with me, if you beat me, then I will regard you as king! If you lose—"

"I will not fail!" The little trident walked towards him, and the blue bricks on each step made a terrible muffled sound, "Only the winner is worthy of being a king. If I lose, I will not be the king anymore."

The old knight had a resolute face, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, that's what you said!"

red and white slapstick, [-]

red and white slapstick, [-]

The wedding was almost coming to an end, and there were no new dishes on the table.The Countess called to dance some half-naked men, well-built and oiled, like bronze statues.They wore only a pair of underwear and danced a powerful muscle dance on the stage. The countess looked very energetic, but for the guests—especially most of the male guests, it was a kind of torture.

Hai Wen felt that the heat was almost ready, so he gestured to Master Cat.The smiling cat immediately understood and slipped out without a sound.

At this moment, the groom looked impatient. He drank the last glass of wine and said, "Ma'am, let's stop eating. There is still one important thing to do."

"Ah?" The countess turned her head, and the fat on her chin flicked, "What's the difference? Going to the bridal chamber or having a baby?"

Master Sarris squeezed out a very ugly smile, and he said: "I mean... about the guardian of Shrimp Bay. We agreed to hand over the holy relic of Shrimp Bay."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" said the countess, slapping her head, "you see how I forgot—sister, sister! Go and get out the Napoleon Shield, and show it to my husband!"

At this moment, Yawen's face was flushed from drinking, and he was very drunk.But when she heard this, her eyes immediately became much clearer.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Yawen said in a crisp voice, "Such an important matter should wait for a solemn occasion. Take a look, what does this place look like? Sleepy guests, a messy dining table, and There are a few naked men...don't let them dance! It makes me sick to see."

Calvin Sarris frowned, he pushed away the trash on the dining table, and then stood up.He puffed up his chest like a singer, and said loudly: "Guests! Ladies and gentlemen, I have something very important to tell you!"

Many dazed people cheered up, and the countess applauded her husband vigorously, shouting: "Good! Good! Good!" She then waved her hand, and the naked men also shouted: " Good! Good! Good!" Yawen looked puzzled, she folded her arms and stared at the groom on the table.

Hai Wen was also watching from below, thinking: I don't know which song this is from.

Seeing that people were looking at him, Calvin said loudly: "Guests, you all know that I am from Xiawan from today. I am the legal guardian here, and my surname has also changed."

As he was saying this, a girl below cried, "Because you are married to the Countess!" and they all laughed.

At this moment, Haiwen watched as Calvin's face changed color three times.In the end the man smiled and said: "Yes! I married her, I married my favorite lady——Madam, come, give me a kiss." This time he took the initiative to kiss the countess, and the countess happily kissed her. Like a sow that had given birth to eight litters, she opened her arms and took Sarris into her arms, and licked him while saying nasty words, and soon half of the groom's face was wet.Some of the guests laughed, some cheered, and some whispered.

Haiwen sensed that something was wrong - there must be a demon if something goes wrong.

At the same time, he saw that Miss Yawen's face became tense.Immediately Yawen quietly recruited a guard and whispered something to the man; the guard nodded after hearing this, turned around and ran out.

It seems that things are not that simple today, Haiwen thought to himself.

After that wet, deep, long, and salty kiss was over, Calvin wiped the drool on his face, and then showed a happy and miserable smile.He said: "I love my wife, I also love my territory, my people. Therefore, I want to touch the holy relic of Shrimp Bay under your witness, because I am real when I touch the relic Guardian, after touching the relic, the ancestors of Xiawan will recognize me and bless me! Today is a great day, let's make good things come in pairs!"

The countess took the lead in shouting: "Good things come in pairs!" The crowd cheered immediately.

Holy relic, Haven knows about this thing.Many ancient families will have such a holy relic, which is equivalent to the emperor's jade seal and soldier talisman. If you get this thing, you can get the highest power in the family in terms of law.

The young master of the Sarris family said to Miss Yawen: "Sister, give me that thing, and I will return it to you after I touch it."

Yawen sneered, and said, "I've said it before, handing over the holy relics must wait for a solemn sacrifice. If you hand over the relics at this place today, it's blasphemy to the ancestors!"

Sarris turned cold, and asked: "This is the place where the Earl got married, how could it be blasphemy?" Countess Soyana also shouted: "That's right! Why didn't you give it to him?"

"Sister, shut up!" Once Yawen got angry, the countess suddenly fell silent, "According to etiquette, before offering sacrifices to ancestors, everyone should obey three precepts. First, clear mind and vigor; Cleanliness; third, the venue is dignified, and there should be altars, totems, holy oil, incense, master of ceremonies, and elders. You can see which one can be met here? So I say again, not here!"

Master Sarris was completely annoyed, he picked up a cup and threw it on the ground, "Crack!" Everyone was startled

"I order you as the guardian of Shrimp Cove, bring me the things!" he yelled.

Yawen remained indifferent.

"Aren't you following my orders?" Sarris asked her.

Yawen sneered and didn't respond.The obese countess stayed aside with a dazed look on her face.

Sarris shouted: "I am a legal vassal of the kingdom, you don't listen to me, you are trampling on the laws of the kingdom!"

"Okay, you just learned to buckle your hat when you became an official? You bastard!" Yawen pointed at him and cursed, "Try to touch me? Tell the soldiers from Xiawan to arrest me, you see they will Are you obedient?"

Sarris laughed, and he said: "It's okay, I don't need the people from Shrimp Bay—come!" He roared, and suddenly there were noisy footsteps and harsh roars outside the hall.Immediately, dozens of swordsmen wearing blue cloaks poured in from the porches on the left and right sides, and the Countess turned pale with fright, while Yawen shouted loudly: "Moria, Chief Guard, Moria, where are you? "

"He won't come!" Calvin Sarris sneered, then gestured, and someone outside responded immediately.Two swordsmen in green cloaks walked in with a guard from Xiawan. Haiwen glanced at him and found that the person who was arrested was the one Wenya had ordered to go out to do errands—obviously, the guards from Xiawan had been arrested. Take control.

Heh, it's not just me who wants to make trouble, the groom is also well prepared.

"Baron Kelihua, you shameless person!" Yawen yelled at a nobleman at the banquet, "You swear allegiance to Xiawan, what about your loyalty? What about your honor?"
