Chapter 35: The Legend of the Island of the Holy Child

At the banquet, everyone was very happy and drank a lot of wine, but there was no such thing as sexually assaulting a female college student. Out of etiquette, the Governor also invited people with heads and faces in Neckarman, including El Fasher, to participate.

"Governor, please stay." Zhou Yu, who was striding out of the palace banquet hall, was stopped.

"Oh? It's the lord of El Fasher, what's the matter? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's a little law."

"What are you doing with the twisting and pinching? If you have something to say, say it! The Governor yawned.

"In the past few days, I have been rescued and guided by your grace one after another, and the grace of saving lives and trust have not been repaid. I just want to say to you: as long as I'm El Fasher for a day, the only Governor of Carman City will be the first to look at. As he spoke, his fat body was about to kneel.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Fasher is a few years older than him, if others see this scene, it will not become a joke in the future, so that Fasher, the city lord, will put his face where to go.

"Don't mind, how much do you drink? So careless! Lord of Fasher! Zhou Yu helped him up, looked at the servants and slaves who came and went, and said loudly. The strength of his arm was so strong that Fasher couldn't kneel down.

"Get up, quick!" He whispered in Farsher's ear.

The fat man didn't know what he was thinking, and slowly stood up with tears in his eyes.

"Fasher, have you been locked up by your for a long time and will not be an official?" The Governor rebuked.

"Xiaofa, Xiaofa listens to the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor."

"Straighten your waist and stand side by side with me. Let's go, go to the garden! With that, he put his arms around Fasher, and the two of them walked to the back garden like brothers in the envious eyes of the servants.

"Farsher, we are in a cooperative relationship, do you understand?"

"The little one understands!" Fasher took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

"I need a partner who is upright, courageous, strong, and decisive, do you understand?"

"Fasher understands!"

"You are so indecisive, forward-looking, and wavering and uncertain in the position of your subordinates, I think it is difficult for us to cooperate!" Zhou Yu put his hands on the white jade railing, looked at Mingyue and said.

"Fasher has just been freed, and he is still adapting to these. The Metropolitan Governor can rest assured that the small ones must work together with the Metropolitan Governor to build a beautiful home! "Where did these words come from, Zhou Yu secretly laughed in his heart.

Fasher doesn't understand that his current position is stormy, the new official is restored, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and he is glamorous and ready to move, if he doesn't hug the thigh of the governor, it is really hard to say how many tomorrows there will be in the future. Taking a step back, he also knew in his heart that even if he didn't have 10,000 people in the position of city lord, there were 8,000 people coveting it. There is clearly no shortage of candidates for the Metropolitan Governor.

"El Fasher, what do you and I rely on for this cooperation?"

"Yes, yes... The little ones don't know! ”

"It's fate. Based on fate, I decided to give you trust. ”

"Uh, yes, yes, fate, fate. Don't worry, you trust me. Fasher would never have done anything disobedient and treacherous. ”

"I'm not worried about that, Farsher. You are a wise man, and although you may seem a little dull in plain life, you are a man of great wisdom. Don't put on that humble and condescending face with me, I'm no one else, I don't have to act so realistically. MR. It's rare to be confused! The gentleness in the Governor's eyes suddenly cooled.

"The Metropolitan Governor is decisive, like a god, and has fiery eyes, Fasher admires and admires!" With that, Farsher shook his hands, moved two steps in a dragon circle, and looked at Zhou Yu calmly. Sure enough, he was an actor.

"Don't blame the Metropolitan Governor, El Fasher has been in prison for a long time. In order to wait for the opportunity and see the light of day again, it is inevitable to have a first-class relationship with your, and this set of skills that hides needles in the cotton and takes the initiative to show weakness is difficult to change. Fasher shook his head sadly, who knows how much inhuman abuse and torture he had suffered in order to survive, if he hadn't had this acting skills, he would have become a dry bone long ago.

Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder, and the two looked out of the city together. Under the moonlight, there was a dead silence under the blue curtain, and in the dark depths of the distance, there was a mouthful of fangs staring at it. The two looked at each other and drank silently.

"Old law! Promise me something! The Governor shook the wine bottle.

"The Metropolitan Governor, please speak, go to the soup and fight the fire!"

"Hold Carmen City anyway! I've taken the City of Storm Catcher, and I'm here to help you! Zhou Yu raised his neck and drank all the fugener in the bottle.

"Don't worry, at this time, you and I are already breathing the same breath and sharing the same fate. If I surrender to a thief, I will surely die. Fasher is not stupid! ”

"That's it. A gentleman's word, when the body is dead and bloody, promise it. You and I encourage each other, come! Dry! ”

The clinking of glasses "dang" resounded in the night sky.

Standing alone in the courtyard, looking at the full moon converging in the center in all four directions, Zhou Yu, who returned to his residence, shook his head slightly thoughtfully.

"What's wrong, Grand Duke?" Bolada came over and added a piece of clothing to the Governor.

"It's nothing, I think human life is so strange." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Why?" Bolada didn't understand.

"Isn't it strange that you say that people pray every day to live longer, but never cherish every day of their lives?"

"This, this question, Borada didn't think about it. But I think that human life is not decreasing day by day, it is that you look down from above. And when you look up from the bottom, it's increasing day by day. β€œ

"Oh? What to see? β€œ

"Hourglass!"

"Hey, hey, you've got it! Brat! Zhou Yu secretly praised this young man, many years of being alone and lonely have sharpened his tenacious and stoic character.

"Xiaobo, do you still regret that gamble?"

"No, but I'll win you sooner or later, I've already sworn it."

"Haha, good! Ambition, I know you have a magnet in your hand and mercury in your dice. "The Governor has not exposed him until now.

"Magnets? Mercury? What is that? Bolada looked puzzled.

"Is that how you keep the dice pointing up? Naturally, you have to get your fingers close to the cups, right? The Governor asked him.

"Yes, but it's a little different from what the Governor had guessed. The dice are carved from a special mountain stone, which we call a jumping stone, and the heavy sides are carved into large dots. And I don't have a mechanism in my hand that can attract the magnetism in the body of the jumping stone rolling、It's a small body.。 β€œ

"Vivo? Magnetic? The Governor became more and more incomprehensible.

"Governor, the small, the little one has always been hiding something from you, although it is true that I am an orphan, but in fact, I know my background. In order to avoid being chased and killed, it was deliberately concealed. β€œ

"Oh? What is hidden? β€œ

"Bolada is from the Holy Son Island."

"What is the Island of the Holy Child? What does it have to do with Zhangzi Island? β€œ

The Governor laughed, for the ordinary people of Kuzsia, the Holy Son Island may just be a place name that exists in legends. But for me, it's a hometown I can't go back to; For those terrible people, it was a piece of fat and a flock of lambs to the slaughter, which are now almost gone. β€œ

"Oh? I'd be interested in hearing it, if you want to, if you're willing to talk. β€œ

"Well, Grand Duke, these things have been hidden in Bolada's heart for twenty years. Stormy and obscure, I have never, no, I dare not forget the hatred of the country and the family, today I tell you, because I see hope, I see the hope of revenge, restoration and revival, you are the chosen one, Borada is willing to gamble. The young man looked at Zhou Yu steadily.

"Well, this one, it's not so certain!" The Metropolitan Governor scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Grand Duke, many, many years ago, the core of the Kuzsia continent was not Wind Catcher City, but Holy Son Island. The island is inhabited by thousands of my people, all of whom are skilled healers, who have cured the whole continent of sickness and brought well-being. These healers were called the Holy Son by the patients who healed them, and the Holy Son Island got its name from this. β€œ

"However, since the Lord of Destruction came to the Borderlands, he has unleashed a slaughter of the earth. The priests, scholars, healers, and soldiers who opposed him on several continents were frantically encircled and suppressed by the Four Heavenly Kings under his command, destroying their families at least and erasing their dwellings and cities from the continent. ”

Without the priests, there is no one to foresee the future, call for the wind and rain, and lead the struggle; Without scholars, the entire continent fell into infinite darkness and depression, and civilization fell sharply from then on; Without the healer, death is henceforth more terrible, hope henceforth is henceforth, and man ceases to be a man, but a slave and an ant; The military was eliminated, and since then there have been no dissidents, no dissenting voices. β€œ

"What about your people?"

"In that catastrophe that lasted for decades, the Holy Son was almost wiped out, the Holy Son Island became a dead island, according to the oral records of my ancestors, almost the entire island was covered with corpses and blood, the sea route to the Holy Son Island was cursed by the Lord of Destruction with a special spell, the entire route was black and smelly, there were maggots inside, and the Holy Son Island was surrounded by a ring of fire that was rumored to never be extinguished, burning all day long, and it was difficult for people and ghosts to approach."

"And what about your background?"

"After that catastrophe, the few surviving members of the Holy Son clan infiltrated various cities in Kuzsia and even other continents incognito, in order to survive and continue the bloodline of the clan. But the Lord of Destruction has been cutting down the roots and paying bounty hunters to hunt down scholars, healers, and priests who have fled their homes and uprooted their homes. ”

"One of the great characteristics of the Holy Son Clan is that there are magnets in their bodies, and they only need to use a huge metal weapon to get close to it, and they will have the appearance of golden iron sucking, which is very easy to identify. My father was found by a bounty hunter and died tragically at the hands of the man's knife. And before he died, he hid me in a huge sinkhole, and I survived. To this day, Borada often sees his father's helpless eyes in his dreams. β€œ

"Bolada, what's the matter with this internal magnet you are talking about?"

"I don't know too much, but I just know that if used properly, this magnet can be used to find gold and iron deposits. More importantly, it is said that the blood that feeds the body of the magnet can grow the grass of resurrection. As for what this resurrection grass is, what it looks like, and what its effects are, Borada has no idea. β€œ

"Oh? And such a fantastical thing? It really opened Bento's eyes. β€œ

"The Grand Duke!" At this point, Bolada suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to Governor Duang.

"What is this for?" Zhou Yu frowned and hurriedly went to help him.

"Governor, Bolada has a reluctant request. No, Borada wants to take another gamble with you. "Bolada can't live or die.

"Okay, okay, you say it first, I'll listen." The Metropolitan Governor really couldn't resist him.

"The pain of exterminating the race is like burning my skin, and the hatred of the dead seed is like a pearl piercing me, Borada only asks the Metropolitan Governor to take me to challenge the king of destruction, and it is not a pity to die, but I want to die, but I can't die as a bad seed. Even if I was slashed by a thousand knives, the bard would sing about my deeds and let others remember our people forever. Bolada couldn't stop crying at this point.

"This gamble is not supported!" The Grand Governor stared at him and said.

"Oh, Grand Duke, if you promise Bolada that you will help you find and cultivate the Resurrection Grass according to the mantra handed down by the clan, even if you use up all the blood in Bolanda's body."

"No!" Zhou Yu was still unmoved.

"I beg you, Governor, Borada. Have mercy on me! Bolada kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, and his forehead broke.

Zhou Yu looked distressed and hurriedly dragged him with brute force. Bolada threw him away, threw himself aside and cried, no matter how the Governor pulled him, he just refused and resisted.

"Bolada, listen up, I'll just say the rest once. I don't participate in your gamble, but、But ah! Lao Tzu, the King of Destruction, must meet him for a while! Zhou Yu said with certainty.

Speaking of this, Bolada's crying voice gradually became smaller, but he still turned his back to Zhou Yu.

"I want to destroy this Lord of Destruction has nothing to do with you, you can follow me, you take revenge on you, I will give you a chance. If you don't report it, it's up to you. But it's not a gamble, and I don't need your resurrection grass and the blood of the Son. You just see this matter as a drip, a hitchhike, don't carry the hatred of destroying the family and killing the family and father on your shoulders to walk this road, you can't carry it, you are still too young. Remember, hatred only makes people stupid! Remember? β€œ

Hearing this, Bolada stopped crying, turned his head slowly, wiped his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Grand Du, is what you said true?" β€œ

"Yes, it's more true than what Song Xiaofeng said."

"Hate, how can Borada not hate!" He said as he bit his lip fiercely.

"I went to kill the Lord of Destruction to awaken, guide, and liberate thousands of people like you. If I die, you take my shift and continue to work with him!" You Borada is dead, and Prada! Prada is dead, and Prado! Where there is oppression, there is resistance. I am the one who lit the fire, the one who sang "Planting the Sun" twenty years ago! With that, the Governor lifted him up and patted him on the sand.

Bolada looked at the Duke's half-true expression, stared at it for a few seconds, and the two of them laughed heartily together.
