Chapter 105: Dangerous Game
"Are you crazy?" Sent out of the tree by the vines, Nika, who had just been squeezed out of the gap, grabbed Zhou Yu's ears fiercely and lifted his feet off the ground.
"Oh, Aunt and Grandma, here is this trick again! No, no, let go, your ears are open. Zhou Yu grabbed his hands wildly, and Bambul, Simang and Borada next to him wanted to pounce on him and ask what was going on, but after seeing this scene, he whistled and dispersed.
It's so unrighteous, you ungrateful things. Zhou Yu greeted the ancestors of the three boys.
"You're playing so big, in case something happens. Not only you and me, but all the people of Thorasia where will go? How can your high princess take care of the aftermath? Have you thought about these questions? Nika lowered his ears and said coldly.
The three brothers next to him stared at each other with big eyes, completely unaware of which channel they were on.
"Do you have any good ideas? I'm here, if I don't do something, I'm sorry for the travel expenses. If you think about it, the leader convened a regular meeting, and everyone arrived. Even if you don't have, you have to squeeze out three points, or how can you get off the stage? The Metropolitan Governor said with a smile.
"You don't have a word of truth in your mouth, and you've never told me the truth. Maybe you have a plan in mind, I just hope that you can say hello in advance before using me in the future, and don't cause unnecessary trouble. "Nika's face was as cold as water, and as cold as ice. Zhou Yu has never seen her reject people so far away, did he really hurt her?
"Well, I remember. Won't you change it next time? Hurry up and get out, the people outside must be in a hurry, it's almost dawn! ”
On the way back to Ileke, Zhou Yu has been pondering. Despite his words, no one knows better than him how dangerous a game it is. With his own strength, he has no ability to bring down Shui Wang Li, and even taking Drunken Flower City is a sweet dream. In this way, the help of the elven race is particularly important, a healthy centaur tribe may be able to resist tens of thousands of terran soldiers, not to mention the unity of the five races, but this kind of overwhelming will not be devoured by the human race. Did you open a lucky chest or a prison of hell? No one can give an answer.
Perhaps, just like he said to Borada before he set off: "Take a gamble, lose your life, and see the moon if you win!" ”
The night breeze on the grassland was blowing, and Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the patio, looked at the crescent moon gathered together and took a sip of tea. Although Kezin sent people to invite him to stay in the royal city for a while, he still liked the small inn where he stayed when he participated in the Tianmu Hunting Competition, and the shopkeeper saw him come to the hotel and cleared the scene without saying a word, and put the door on the door from the outside.
"Bamble, I have a letter that I need you to send to Drunken Flower City and hand it over to Princess Philena. You pack up, I'll ask Kazin to give you a guide, and you'll leave tomorrow morning. Remember, safety first, go and come back quickly! Zhou Yu sealed the cowhide envelope in his hand and handed it to Bamble with a solemn face.
"Bolada, I need to make some medicine, probably so that people... Zhou Yu whispered in Bolada's ear, except for Nika and Simang, who were all his own soldiers, Nasimang was a mute, Nika thought that he was biting his ears so much that he must be on guard against himself, so he scolded angrily and walked away.
"Smang, I've consulted with Master Kizin and found you a helper to teach you how to use sign language. When you are proficient in sign language, you will open your doors immediately. Teach me what you've seen in the books of Dream Slaughter for more than 20 years, okay? ”
Smokee nodded slightly, then shook his head vigorously with a glare.
"Why, you don't want to? The three positions of city lord, chief soldier and Taixue I recruited here, you can only be responsible for teaching, and you are not suitable for those two professions. ”
The dumb man blushed all over his face, babbling, pointed at himself with his finger and then pointed at Zhou Yu anxiously.
"You—you mean you want to follow me?" Zhou Yu asked him tentatively.
The mute nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking rice.
"Sman, I know you want to share some of it for me. But I need you here, with Kezin, Zhan Suo, and Che Raiman, and you teach the children well, tell them the principles of life and the laws of everything, and stop letting them be treated like pigs and dogs, okay? Zhou Yu walked over and slapped the dumb man on the shoulder.
The mute hung his head, tears rolling in his eyes. He thought about his childhood, and he couldn't even remember the images of his childhood when he played happily. What he could never erase from his memory was the horrific scene of castration and amputation, and even now he is often awakened by blood in his dreams. The person in front of him hopes that he can make more people and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
As the agreed day approached, Zhou Yu packed his bags and set off again towards the territory of the apeback elephant, accompanied by Xerxes, Kezin, Nika, and Bamble. Bamble had just arrived in Ilek City last night with Princess Philena's reply, and after a hasty sleep, he was carried on the horse by Zhou Yu.
Everything is in order in Ilek City. Before leaving, Zhou Yu went to visit Zhan Suo and Simang. Zhan Suo adapted to the role faster than he imagined, this kid has both the ability and courage, and there is no shortage of ways to lead soldiers and love soldiers. Under his command, the city defense army was like a wolf and a tiger, and its combat strength increased greatly.
The first students had already begun to be recruited in the Flame Gate, and to everyone's surprise, he had chosen a group of beggars, slaves, and maids to enter the school. Zhou Yu listened to one of his lessons with great interest, in which a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old acted as his interpreter, this kid's sign language improved rapidly, and his hands were like threading a needle and playing with a phoenix, and the girl giggled for a while, and said loudly for a while. Actually, it is a nature lesson, talking about the causes of wind and rain.
Zhou Yu sighed, there was only so much he could do. I hope that the mute can come out of the shadow of the absence of the body and devote his limited life to the infinite peach and plum world.
"My lord, there's a dense forest of ape trees ahead, us?" Bamble turned his horse's head and came back for instructions.
"Enter, enter, enter!" Zhou Yu had no doubt that he would cheat them, and Samir's shock and the temptation of the elven fire couldn't help but make him do that.
Just as the lightly armed few people were about to enter the dense forest, there was a hearty laugh behind them.
"Haha, long time no see, Mr. Coin?"
Zhou Yu looked back and saw that it was Lancelot. He was still dressed in silver armor, followed by five or six headless horsemen. It turns out that the ghost rider clan is really a headless horseman, and these soldiers are not so terrible after watching it for a long time, and if they get along, they may be able to pull three to play a few rounds of mahjong.
"Brother Lan, don't come unharmed!"
"Mr. Coin is gracious, please!" Lancelot didn't show his intentions, but seeing that he was so anti-guest, he obviously guessed that the person who restarted Pachua was himself.
"Brother Lan, last time Princess Fei Lina relied on your help, and the younger brother didn't have time to come to thank you in person." Zhou Yu and Lancelot walked side by side, and the entourage on both sides naturally left a safe distance and followed far behind.
"Why bother with the effort? Besides, Ms. Nika entrusted it, even if you want to, you can't refuse it. "Lancelot's natural words are the laws of chivalry.
"You're here on behalf of the Ghost Riders?"
"Exactly. Could it be that this restart of Pachuya was planned by the little brother? ”
"Brother Lan, Jun is a wise person. Can you see the difference between this borderless land and the land where you and I used to be? Zhou Yu didn't answer him directly.
"The difference? Haha, I think this borderless land is a thousand times better than the land of the past. It's very simple to get along with the elves here, black is black and white is white, which is like where there is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil, good and bad, the day before yesterday, the brothers and ministers who were still in love with their siblings, and the next day they will face each other with swords, you live and die? Lancelot said, his tone gradually turning cold, presumably reminiscing about the past.
"But Your Excellency, who lives incognito and idyllic in the Bone Erosion Forest all day long, has you ever thought about your mission as a Knight of the Round Table?"
"The next mission was devoured by Cerberus (the three-headed dog of hell) when he was sent to the ninth level of hell, and that Lancelot and the cross have been buried in the abyss."
"My soul must anchor in you before my heart rests in you. Pray that the Lord will always lead me, and I will be with you forever. Amen! (From Christ Hymn 346, "How Great Are My Sins")"
"Y-What do you say? How do you know this passage? Lancelot grabbed the reins and stood where he was. An incredulous gaze appeared through the gap in the silver helmet, a eulogy for himself to cry as he cried over her jewel necklace when he learned of Guinevere's death.
"I've said all that's to be said, and I don't think Queen Guinevere would want to see you alive as the walking dead you are today."
"Nope! No! She's not a queen, she'll always be my Princess Guinevere. Lancelot roared frantically and lowered his head. In his heart, Guinevere is the most beautiful princess in the world, no one can ever defile her, and no one is worthy of her, she is so holy and immaculate, white as snow.
"Here we are, Your Excellency!" Zhou Yu didn't continue, but pointed to the huge ancient tree in front of him.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Just when Zhou Yu was wondering why there was no reception staff arranged for Zangduo today, the scene in front of him scared him so much that he almost fell off his horse.
Dozens of towering trees in front of me jumped out of the ground like green onions lifted from the middle, and those huge and thick roots intersected with each other as soon as they were unearthed, instantly entwining the appearance of muscle fibers. Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, isn't this a leg? Each tree grows two huge legs!
The roots lifted the ancient tree like human legs, and the bare branches clattered and merged together, condensing into two huge arms in a few moments. Zhou Yu looked up at these Transformers, and his mouth could be stuffed into a fist.
Could it be that this is the ape tree, it's terrifying. It was already thirty or forty meters high, but now with the roots and branches of the trees, there are still trees everywhere, and it is simply a heavy chariot. If these ape trees go to attack the city, where will there be a way for the human race to live. Zhou Yu thought about it again, he didn't win the first battle between heaven and earth like this, so how unfathomable the other party was.
"Hey! This ape tree brother, I'm looking for Mr. Zangduo—" Zhou Yu rolled his hand into the shape of a horn and shouted to the sky. He wasn't sure if the ape trees would hear him, because they were too far away from their features.
The nearest ape tree bent down, and the whole tree bent thirty degrees. Zhou Yu looked amazed, this tree trunk can be bent like this, it seems that they are indeed not trees, but living elves.
"Come up—" The tree could actually speak, and although its voice was hoarse, it was full of confidence and could be heard clearly.
Zhou Yu waved his hand behind him, and several people rode on horseback and stepped on the palms of the ape tree spread on the ground. It slowly stood up and raised its palms, and several people and horses were lifted into the air in an instant as if they were riding a sightseeing elevator.
Let me go, the view here is so good? I'll be sure to bring my golf club with me another day, and it's wonderful to teach Princess Anle how good it is to teach her how much golf she is! Zhou Yu didn't feel the danger at all, and even remembered that the pickled girl was coming.
Now Zhou Yu understood why these ape trees jumped out of the ground, the canopies on the heads of dozens of ape trees were forced together, and the leaves and branches on the top were intersected, layered and lush, forming a huge natural venue.
The Metropolitan Governor lifted the reins and trotted a few steps from his crotch. Hey, riding on top of this canopy is like walking on the ground, and I don't feel unstable in the slightest. Zhou Yu was secretly surprised, the elves are really unpredictable, I don't know what else they have to do with housekeeping, if they organize a circus performance, it is estimated that the tickets can be sold well.
It didn't take long for an even more magical scene to appear. A large round table appeared in the middle of the canopy, and on it was a cylindrical hedron that was more than a man tall. Most of the governors tried their best to feed, and even turned around and shouted for Nika and Bamble to help, only to find the already small Tibetan in an inconspicuous corner at the foot of the round table.
"I said Lord Tibet, you are really hiding, my lord!" Zhou Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"My lord, where is this Pachuya? Didn't we say that we would restart Pachuya? What's the matter, I'm here alone. Do you represent all those elves, or do you remember the wrong day? Zhou Yu asked with displeasure on his face.
Hey, good you kid is still anti-customer-oriented, overstepping the blame, although Zangduo said that he had an intentional attack, but when he saw Samir in a strong suit behind him, he held back his words.
Today's Nika is wearing a blue anointed armor, and she has tanned leather promise boots, uh, of course, this boot is Zhou Yu's soft grinding and hard bubble before she agreed to wear it, before this Nizi brushed it three times in the river, and it still smelled, holding a human bone atonement sword, her hair was even higher and was pinned with a bead through the hairpin, and the discerning person could see at a glance where it was an ordinary bead, what else could it be if it wasn't a cursed pupil?
Hey, my aunt, you're here for a full set, aren't you? When Zangduo saw the "fully armed" Samir, he trembled and greeted him, but he didn't see the wings of mercy. But don't worry, it is said that the wings can be big or small, don't stimulate her to fly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! A realm of divine soldiers, how can they casually slack off.
"Zangduo represents the apeback elephant clan and knocks to see Lord Xun!" In front of everyone's eyes, a big rabbit rushed over and pounced at Nika's feet, trembling and worshipping. Zhou Yu frowned when he looked at it! Well, how can it not make people angry when he created the god soldier Xun himself, the hero behind the scenes, was abandoned.
"Mr. Kura is polite." Nika has changed her gentle and lovely face in the past, and her expression is neither salty nor light, which makes people guess what they think. But it doesn't matter to the Grand Duke, this Nizi is a stinky face to him at all times.
"Lord Sunda, please!" Kurata hurried forward, leading Nika to the hedron.
"Have the other lords been informed?" Nika asked Kurado.
"I've been waiting for a long time, King Xun, please take a seat!"
"I said Lao Zang, don't you believe it? Waiting for a long time, what about people? Are you blind or am I blind? Zhou Yu was angry, and took the opportunity to scold, letting your kid just care about serving the leader and ignoring us soldiers.
"Isn't that here?" Kurta pointed at the round table with his elephant stretched out.
"Where?" Zhou Yu spread his hands, except for the spirit stone, he didn't even have a hair. I'd like to see how you give Lao Tzu a big change.
"In the midst of Sisyphus!"
"What is Sisyphus?"
"It's this hedroon!"
Note: Sisyphus is a character in Greek mythology who was sentenced to spend his life pushing a boulder to the top of Mount Olympus for offending the gods.
