Chapter Eighty-Nine: Revisiting the Old Place
"So, if people can't control their own destiny, what are they talking about fraternity, gratitude, and respect?" Philena looked at the moon with a blank expression.
"Want to go for a ride?" The Metropolitan Governor saw that she was sad, and suddenly made a childlike suggestion.
"What do you mean by going for a ride?"
"Just to get out of here and travel to beautiful places. The world is so big, there are always places you haven't been! ”
"But I—I'm going back in a few days." Philena looked down and said, apparently she was going back to Drunken Flower City.
"Isn't there still a few days left, let's go!" Zhou Yu didn't care whether she wanted to or not, took the princess's hand and walked outside the palace. Chromina struggled hard at first, seeing that it didn't work, so she didn't care. Quicken your steps and follow this Xilanu out quickly. The sergeants who were standing, seeing the champion of the divisional finals and the princess walking hand in hand, all twisted their heads to the sides and greeted each other that the weather was really good today.
The Metropolitan Governor stopped a maidservant and asked for the direction of the horse ring in the palace, and led the Philina to run quickly. Fei Lina has never been so unlucky, but at this time, she trotted all the way quickly, but Bu Tongtong kept jumping in her heart, as if she was about to jump out of her mouth. The green silks like flowing clouds were slightly messy, and they jumped out of their buns, and they were not happy to fly with the wind.
"You wait!" The Grand Governor placed Philena outside the stable. He used his hands and feet like a monkey, and jumped over the high wooden fence. Within a moment, there were a few horses chattering in the stable.
With a bang, the wooden door of the horse circle opened from the inside, and a hussar leaped out of the air, like a celestial man. In the night sky, Philena looked up, and a heroic man with a silver face reflecting the moon on the horse that rose into the air was extremely powerful, stretching out a hand and spreading out his palm.
Philena blushed and reached out to hand it to him, closing her eyes in fascination to hide the hope and rebellion that swirled in her eyes. Unexpectedly, the hand was not pulled over, but his waist tightened, and the whole person was picked up by him and put on the horse's back. The whole back was clinging to the damn guy. The night breeze blew through his ears, and his hair, which had been scattered in all directions, danced even more wildly.
She didn't dare to open her eyes, although the wind was cold, her face burned like coals. What the hell is wrong with me, it's all to blame on this damn Silannu.
Terta, Terta, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded beneath him, but when it reached his ears, it was already coming from behind him. The guy added strength to his legs, and the black steed under his crotch ached, and he galloped forward as if flying.
"Open your eyes!" A whisper came. Phirina slowly opened her close eyes, the stars in the sky were shaking rhythmically, and the full moon, which looked very quiet in plain life, was also jumping high and low at this time, as if telling herself something.
"Where are we?"
"Out of town! It's been a while! ”
"You—Where are you going to tie me up?" Phirina moved her back forward, the horse was tall but the space on the horse's back was so limited, it was too embarrassing to be so close to his chest with his back to his chest.
"You'll know when you get there!" Zhou Yu didn't care about her, and sat back, freeing up a two-inch distance between the two.
"This—that's what it's like to ride a horse?" After a while, Philena gradually adjusted to the rhythm and bumps on horseback.
"Haven't you ridden a horse?" The Grand Governor asked in surprise.
"No, no, have you ever seen a princess ride a horse?" Knowing that he would not harm herself, Phirina even laughed at him.
"Well, that's really not suitable!" It was the Metropolitan Governor's turn to be embarrassed.
Ran all the way until it was almost dawn. The sky was white, and Zhou Yucai grabbed the reins and slowed down. The twilight was faint, the cold wind was tight, and he took off his coat and draped it over the Philena in front of him. This princess is delicate, like her own rough skin and thick meat, either sleeping in the desert or eating pig food and living in a chicken coop in a slave camp.
Tick-tock, the horses under him were bowing their heads and chewing on blades of grass, and then they were strolling forward, panting with their mouths and noses, and it was evident that they were exhausted from the night's galloping.
"Where is this?" Phirina looked up ahead, and a huge walled ruins came into view. Broken walls and ruins everywhere, arrows and spear handles everywhere, and even some dry bones that have not been buried. Some rags and rags were hanging and shivering in the cold morning wind.
"Here, not a tribe of the Terrans?" Philena was amazed to see that the horrible dry bones and limbs looked like human heads.
"No, this is a tribe of centaurs."
"So what's going on here? Why did they exterminate the race? ”
"Because something happened to me." Zhou Yu didn't tell Felina the truth, because there were too many clues involved in this matter, and to borrow a phrase from Felena's own, it wouldn't be good for her to know too much.
"Alas, this is killing, this is death, this is the end." The Governor turned over and dismounted, walked to the tombstone carved by his own hands, took out the fire, picked up three branches from the ground, lit them, and planted them in the ground. He fell to his knees and bowed three times.
"What's written on this?" Phirina also struggled to get off her horse, and nearly fell. Zhou Yu stepped forward and helped her.
"Some words of condolence!" When the Governor saw the graves of the three hundred slave soldiers who lived and died with him, his mood was extremely low. I really didn't have the heart to explain to him how powerful and majestic Chinese characters were.
"You—you're just going to show me this?" Phirina frowned, although she was used to killing and sacrifice in her dictionary, it was the first time she had experienced the cruelty of war so closely, and it was a little disgusting.
"No, I'm going to show you that!" Zhou Yu pointed to a few dozen meters on the left-hand side, where more than twenty square bricks were floating in the air, all rotating in the same order, and the one in the center was faintly shining.
"What is this?" Philena walked under the Cyberratan box and stood in the center of the bricks, so surprised that she couldn't even breathe.
"How do they do it?" Phirina pointed to the bricks. Zhou Yu understood that she wanted to ask how these cubes rotated regularly.
"Well, it's science. It's more complicated to say, but in general, it is a force that acts on them under the ground and makes them spin. ”
"This, this is amazing, even more magical than the witch spells of the priests."
"There's something even more amazing!" The Metropolitan Governor pointed to the hollowed-out green bricks in the center and said.
"Strange, what kind of fire is this, and why is it green?"
"This is the fire of the steppe, the fire of the elves. It is very different from our human fire, and it is not interchangeable and universal. Zhou Yu said as he picked up a bamboo pole from the side and lifted it up from the gap to the center of the flame.
With a brush, the Metropolitan Governor hurriedly let go. The whole stick did not go through the burning process, like a basin of ink dripping into it, quickly turned into charcoal from top to bottom, and was blown away by the wind before it hit the ground, and disappeared in the air, without even the sound of landing. If Zhou Yu lets go slowly, this arm may be wasted.
"This is the Prairie Fire?" Chromina looked incredulous again.
"Have you heard of it?"
"Philena's teacher once said that the elves and the human race lived in harmony on the continent of Soracia, but later they were on opposite sides because of the outbreak of war. In order to dissolve their hatred, the divine soldiers who ruled this continent sealed their most powerful weapons. The most powerful weapon of the elves is this grassland fire. If this happens to the human race, it will be ruined. ”
What, this tinder was actually sealed by Shenbing Kun? If, according to Phirina, Kun is the king of Saurasia and Xun is the king of Kuzsia, all the continents are ruled by a divine soldier. So, shouldn't there be four gods in this borderland?
"What is that Divine Soldier Kun like?"
"Kun only appears in ancient legends. He was the son of the grasslands and the rainforest, brave and strong, and upright, who once filled this continent with glory and peace, and people who had no worries about food and clothing, and thrived. Later, the first Heaven and Earth Station broke out, and he and other divine soldiers fended off foreign invasions. In the end, the war was won, but the whole of Thorasia was scarred and full of corpses. ”
Later, although Kun advocated rebuilding his homeland, the differences between the elves and the human race grew wider, and large-scale conflicts broke out several times over the distribution of resources such as food, water, stone, and metal. The Terrans suffered a big loss, and the people began to oppose Kun, and the elves did not support him. Kun loses all his loyal fans and gradually becomes depressed and brutal. Finally, in the Second Heaven and Earth War, Kun Zhan died. ”
"What the hell was that First and Second Heaven and Earth War?"
"I don't know. Philena's teacher couldn't tell either, and none of the books that have survived to this day have recorded these two histories. Even Kun's life has been passed down from generation to generation, and the source cannot be found. ”
"And the question you answered before. What exactly is the meaning of the Tenmu Hunting Competition, you are not right. Therefore, although the last game has some meaning of taking care of the face of the Xianbei people, in fact, you really can't be considered to have answered correctly. ”
"Oh? What was the significance of the Pastoral Hunt Tournament that day? ”
"The Heavenly Hunting Contest is a competition created by the brutal Kun in his later years, in order to show the Terrans his determination to be a human and not an elf, and the so-called herding and hunting objects are all elves. The significance is to incite the warriors of the Terrans to slaughter the elves, so that the Terrans can truly control the voice of Thoraxia. That heavenly character even labeled this kind of massacre as a substitute for heaven, a shuntian, and a response to heaven, so that the massacre could be justified and carried out legally. ”
"It turns out that Kun is also an old fool!" Zhou Yu secretly pondered.
"A man is about to die, but his words are good. It is said that before he died, Kun sealed his five holy relics separately and passed them out. Whoever can find the five holy relics and gather them together can summon an undead legion from hell. Those demons and goblins have the power to destroy the entire Borderlands. However, the price is to exchange one's own soul. ”
"I've heard of this, the seed of pain, the source of sorrow, the tears of hatred, the lie of betrayal, and the howl of anger."
"I didn't expect you to have such insight as a Sillan. It is these five things, I guess this elven fire in front of me should be the seed of pain. Phirina said lightly.
"What?" The Governor suddenly struck like lightning, could it be, is this really like the Sword of Atonement for King Xun, one of the sacred relics of King Kun? The magic box that I inadvertently opened was actually sealed with the seed of pain?
"That's right. If you think about it, the source of sorrow, the tears of hatred, should all be related to water. Lies and howls should all be about sound. This fire alone, the fire of the elves, brought endless suffering to the human race in the time of war, and the fire itself was also called fire. Therefore, this seed of pain should be deserved. ”
"Oops! It's so obvious, how can I be like a fool! The Governor slammed himself to the head with a heavy punch. Fortunately, there is this erudite and talented girl to mention it, otherwise I would never know that I would pass by this Kunwang holy relic for the rest of my life.
I thought I would take the princess out to relax and cultivate feelings. Unexpectedly, it taught the family a lesson, most of the governors intentionally planted flowers that did not bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows.
"But don't be too happy. Even if it is a seed of pain, we Terrans cannot control or even come close. Not to mention using it, even taking it away will bring you ruin. ”
It seems that Philena is not alarmist, the power of the elven fire is by no means an ordinary container can be contained, and ordinary people are even more desperate when they get close to the past. But just let it burn quietly in the hinterland of this grassland, and most of the governors were unwilling.
"It's okay, there's always a way. Don't you see this Cyberratan box to imprison it? It's a big deal that I'll find an asbestos mine and make a few pairs of asbestos gloves before moving it. ”
What Zhou Yu summed up in his heart was that he would be my person when he entered my door. Can it still make you run? When he went back, he asked Bambur to send a message to Xerxes, and asked the old fellow to find a way to transport the seeds away, that the Persian Emperor had a crooked way, and it was estimated that a mere fairy fire would not be able to defeat him.
"How much time do you have left?" Zhou Yu came up with such a sentence for no reason. Phirina knew he was asking about her return.
"Not much. I really don't have much time left. There was an endless paleness in Phirina's eyes.
Zhou Yu didn't know that at this time, Soracia was in a critical stage of four sons seizing the heir. The old king's life was short, and three women and one man were fighting openly and secretly over who would succeed him. Fei Lina, who has no quarrel with the world, had no intention of participating in this life-and-death fight, but she had no choice but to order that if the prince ascended the throne, all three daughters would marry into Tumeng City and serve the four heavenly kings; If any woman ascends to the throne, she can be exempted from prostitution, and she can stay in power, but the power of the first night is inevitable.
Even if Philena is a hundred unwilling, it can't be compared to the pain of letting others take pleasure in her crotch. Therefore, even if you can't keep your chastity, you have to do your best to fight for the inheritance, and it is better to endure the pain for a moment than to die tragically under all kinds of ravages. But, even so, she knew in her heart that she didn't have much chance of winning. Where to go, her fate is no longer in her own hands. If you can only take that path, maybe you can only be completely liberated by dying.
Looking at Philena's empty eyes, the Metropolitan Governor was at a loss. Did I say something wrong? I just asked when she was leaving. How did she feel like she had leukemia? It's weird.
For some women, chastity is not a torii but more important than life.
