Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

(The Inner World of Truth) Chapter 30: Blood and Fire, One

No.? ?Chapter: The Inner World of Truth (?)

It has been snowing for three days, and Gerrit looked at the snow and thought to herself: Probably a year has passed outside.Maybe they will stay here longer - they want to leave, but can't find the exit of the dream.

Suddenly, Dadaras said: "My apprentice is dead."

Both Maria and Gerrita looked at her, and Maria said, "What's the matter? What's wrong with you?"

Dadaras said: "Lan Cu died, I can feel his soul dissipate."

Maria asked, "Who is that? My grandson? A liberal witch?"

Dadaras said: "Changing a bottle of wine for me first."

Maria snapped her fingers and conjured up several bottles of wine and a pair of tables and chairs.Three witches sat on it.It's still snowing.

Gelette asked her, "Can you stop the snow, it's so cold here."

Maria said: "The snow in my heart doesn't stop, so it can't stop here." The witch of truth took a big sip of wine, and then asked Dadaras, "tell me, what's going on?"

Dadaras said: "My apprentice Lan Tie, he is a genius. He is smart and handsome—"

Maria interrupted, "Wait a minute, man?"

"Yes, but he can also wear women's clothing. He is very delicate."

Maria nodded and said, "That's okay, in fact, men are also fine, I'm afraid that these hungry liberal witches will squeeze men dry, so I seldom accept male apprentices, ah, Go on."

Dadaras drank a bottle of spirits, she hiccupped, and said, "Lan Zuo is going to save the world, well, he's going by himself, and I hope he will too. This guy said he understood the mysteries of the world , He also said that he calculated the time and place of the reincarnation of the Disciplinarian..." She hiccupped again, "I think what he said is really true, so I will teach you all my skills. I thought, if he couldn't do it, then the world would be over.

"Now, he's dead."

"I'm saddened by his death," Gerrita said.

Maria smiled disdainfully, and she said, "The mystery of the world? What mystery of the world has he seen?"

Dadaras said: "Lan Cu is a realistic and conservative person. In this respect, he is not like a liberal witch. He told me: 'Since this world is an experiment of world locks, as long as the world locks are satisfied, Then the world can be saved'. Next, Lan Zuo was looking for a way to satisfy the world lock.

"He believes that human civilization must continue to advance and develop, and the system, thought, technology, culture...all aspects must advance. As long as human beings are advancing, the world lock will not destroy the world. The previous four ancient civilizations were The world is destroyed only when development stagnates. As long as our civilization is on the way forward, it can continue. Lan Cuo believes that the world needs a move forward and a change."

"How did he do it?" asked Gerrita.

"He said that we must start by unifying the world first."

Geralte said, "That's a bit high."

Dadaras said: "It's not high for him. He has magic, wisdom, and he has found the soul of the commandment. With these three things, he can achieve this goal."

Maria smiled and said: "There is ambition, but it is only human ambition after all. He did not jump out of the circle of the world lock painting. If it were me, I would choose to smash the head of the world lock instead of obeying it and being Its civilization experiment."

Geralte said, "Yes, he seems to have failed. It's clearly not the way to go."

Dadaras said: "It's not necessarily impossible. If there is no interference from the three major demon kings, maybe he can do it. The demon kings hinder the progress of civilization. Those who dare to lead the trend will inevitably become the prey of the demon king."

Dadaras shattered the wine bottle, the glass shards scattered all over the ground, and then turned into fly ash.

"Lan Zuo has my amulet, and it is extremely difficult for mortals to kill him. I think, some devil must have done it! Lan Zuo killed a time traveler. He wanted to be the leader of the times, but the demon king obviously didn't want him to do this Do."

Zhe Lite asked: "Lead the times? How does Lan Zuo want to lead the times?"

Dadaras said to her: "He wants to carry out a technological revolution, he wants to replace manpower with machines and expand productivity."

Zhe Lite asked: "Then the revolution in thought and system can also be regarded as leading the times?"

"Of course it is."

Oops, the bald earl is going to be in trouble!

"We need to get out of here quickly!" Zhe Lite jumped up, "I have to go out and save people quickly! Otherwise, my friend will be killed by the devil."

The Witch of Truth spread her hands and said, "We've been here for five years...ah, 500 years, and we haven't figured out how to escape. Come on, both of you."

Gerrit and Dadaras looked at each other, and then asked the Witch of Truth together, "Are you sleeping here?"

Maria said: "Sleep? Oh, you retarded witches, you want me to dream, right? You want to use that..." She gestured with a wooden stick with her hand, "Witches dream, right? "

Geralte looked disappointed, "You know?"

"Nonsense, I am the grandfather of liberal witches." Maria jumped up and sat on the table with her legs dangling in the air, "I invented this witchcraft. The effect is also different. You apprentices, you have to learn one more..."

Geralte interrupted: "Then what if we continue to dream here?"

The Witch of Truth replied: "The time and space here is already very fragile. If we continue to go down, I don't know what will happen, but... we can try. Which of you two can lend me your brain?"

Zerette and Dadaras looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Maria said angrily: "Ah! If you don't give me your brains, how can I create the next world? Come on, Dadaras, it's you!" She snapped her fingers, and a bed appeared in front of her The size of a cutting board, "Lie down!"

Dadaras yelled: "I don't! I won't let your mind wander."

The Witch of Truth jumped up and knocked Dadalas unconscious with an uppercut.Then she opened and closed her palms, and many scalpels appeared between her fingers. "Gerette, are you sick of blood?" she asked.

"Not dizzy."

"Then take care." Maria dragged Dadaras to the chopping board, cut open her head with a knife, and then separated her skull like breaking a walnut, exposing her brain.

Fuck me!Geralte cursed in her heart.

"Learn, brain massage for health care can treat epilepsy, dementia and mushroom syndrome." As Maria said, she put her hand into Dadaras's brain, and then kneaded her like dough brain.

Dadaras made a strange sound from his throat, his eyes rolled quickly, and his limbs twitched.Zhe Lite looked terrified and thought to herself: Is this the witchcraft of the liberals?It's too powerful!

After a moment, Maria raised her hands.Dadaras's brains were all over her hands.

"It's broken." The Witch of Truth said, "I put Dadaras's nipple and right hand upside down." She reached in and rubbed it again.

Ge Lita felt that her brain was hurting, and the pain was severe.

"No, this is the eye."

"This is the stomach."

"This is the pain nerve, this is the taste..."

The Witch of Truth was digging, scratching, and rubbing inside, and Dadaras was convulsing and foaming all the time.

"Ah, I found it!" The witch snapped her fingers, her brains splashed out, and Gerrit quickly avoided it.

She kneaded again for a while, and then said: "Well, it's done! I used Dadaras's thoughts to open the next level of dreams, let's go."

Gerette looked at Dadaras on the chopping board and asked, "What about her?"

"Her?" Maria laughed. "Do you think she can go with us like this? We are going to her head."

Geralte blinked and said, "I mean, is she all right?"

Maria frowned and said, "Are you a witch, are you stupid? My mother's brains are coming out, are you okay?"

"That, that, that, that...then is she..."

"died."

Maria spread her hands, and Gerrit screamed.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It's just that the body in this world is dead. Her soul is still alive, and she lives in every world. In short, it's okay. If you don't believe it, you can die once for fun."

"I don't want it!" Gerrit crossed her hands on her chest.

"You're too young, Gerrit. When you live to be a hundred years old, you will have this thought: Shall I lift my head up and see? Yes, you will."

"Fuck you!" Gerrit covered her head.

Maria spread her hands and said, "Then, let's go to the next dream."

"Wait!" Gerrit said, "Do you know what the next dream is?"

"I do not know!"

"Then do you still want to go?"

The Witch of Truth smiled and said, "It's better to go forward than to wait, even if the road ahead is death." After saying this, she waved her hand and summoned a new door.

"Gerette, wait for me here, the Witch of Truth will open the way for you. The environment in the dream may be harsh, but no matter how bad it is, as long as I can use my soul to invade this dream, I can change it."

Gerrit asked, "How long will it take?"

"Come in after seven days, I need at least seven days."

"Then it will be a long time outside!"

"But if you come in early, you may interfere with my magic. When the dream collapses, we will all have to finish playing."

"Okay," said Gerrita, "I'll wait for you for seven days."

Chapter 30: Blood and Fire, I

The war has started for a year, and Eros and the others have been waiting here in the temple for a year.Veteran Aaron put the droplet's connector into Eaglehead City, and they have been communicating live with Raya through this connector.Laya and Eros have been paying attention to the things in Eagle Head City.

War, war, war.A siege that lasted for a year.Famine, plague, heat and winter.The old man commits suicide, the child starves to death... Laya watches it every day and sheds tears every day.

She wanted to use the water drop projection to stop this war more than once, but Laya and Eros knew this very well, because the deterrence of the projection could not stop the Overlord's journey, and once the war started, no insight could stop it.

This thing can only be used once, once it fails, there is no chance, she can't use it indiscriminately.

Raya had to use projection where it made the most sense.

She is waiting for that opportunity.

Today Eros feels very uneasy.Because Raya said to her, "The day has come."

They prepared the water drop projector, and the veteran Aaron also adjusted the settings of the projector at the other end. Just press the switch, and Laya's projection will appear in the sky above Eagle Head City, as huge as a mountain, as if a god descended.

This majestic scene can make her frighten the people of Eagle Head City.She can prevent the next tragedy.

Laya was arranging her appearance. She cleaned her face, tied her hair, tied her headscarf, and put a gold ring on her hand to dress herself up like a legendary goddess.

Eros asked her from behind: "Laya, after finishing this, we can leave, right?"

Raya nodded, and then said to the soldiers outside: "Come here, bring the droplet connector, and light the holy flame."

The connector is a huge mirror framed in dark gold.Torches burned all around, illuminating the metal.Laya put on a clean white robe and stood in front of it.

The mirror began to flicker, and there was a picture of Eagle Head City, and the Overlord roared in the mirror...

*************

The setting sun was like blood, the crows howled, and the shadow of Eagle Head Castle was elongated, covering the city.

Bulb Karn stood on the castle of Eaglehead, and the host gathered at his feet.

He said to the people: "Today, your king, I want to tell you something."

"Today, we captured Eagle Head City!"

"Today, we got the North!"

"Today was supposed to be the day of victory!"

"But today!" he gritted his teeth, fighting back tears, "I lost my best friend, my prime minister!" He held up his blood-stained war robe, "the despicable northerners killed him, my Prime Minister, White Feather Prince, Lan Zuo Kleist! Without him, I would not have won, and without him, I would not even be standing here. Lan Zuo, like my right arm!" He clenched his right arm Fist, thought to himself: If an arm can bring back his life, then I am willing to cut off my arm right now.

"Lan Chu's wisdom can discern the truth, and his talent can prosper the country. The life of Lan Chu alone is more precious than 100 million animals in the north!"

"So, I ordered: close the city gate, block the waterway, massacre the city for three days, and kill Eagle Head City!"

The army roared angrily: "Storm! Storm! Storm!" After the roar was over, there were bursts of tragic cries and screams of fear in the city.The setting sun gradually falls, and the darkness presses down, trying to devour the last light.

All this made Ba Gu even more annoyed, he raised a hand and said, "Then now..."

Just when Ba Gu was about to order the massacre of the city, the sky suddenly brightened.Then the clouds turned golden and the light began to flicker...

The goddess who saved thousands of souls descended from the sky.

Her body is taller than a mountain, her light is as dazzling as the sun, and her face is as kind as a mother.

She was dressed in a holy white robe, with golden rings and shining golden light. Compared with her solemn appearance, the majestic overlord was like a naughty child.The army exclaimed, the timid fell to their knees, and the bold trembled.The civilians knelt down and kowtowed, begging the goddess to save the world.

"Barbon Kahn, that's enough, no more blood," she said.
