The godmother is still in a daze. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I said, "He's gone." ”
"Hmm," the godmother nodded, "he's gone and won't come back." At last, she sighed as if she was very sentimental: "I have one less friend in this world. ”
I said, "Listen, it's a lot of vicissitudes, it's like godmother, you know so many people in this world." ”
The godmother retracted her gaze, which had been a little lonely, and said lightly: "There are only so many people...... Leon, James, little Zovug, you, and my good son who doesn't know where. ”
I can hear that my godmother is really sad. I suddenly wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't find the right words. Suddenly, my godmother turned her head and glared at me.
I said, "What are you going to do?"
The godmother said, "It's time to get down to business." ”
I said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm your godson, it's not right......"
Then I was slammed into the air with a strong force.
The godmother said coldly: "Help me find my own son, don't forget this matter." After speaking, she suddenly kicked lightly on the rock wall, and the whole person rose up lightly like a white smoke, and at this time my ascent was exhausted, and my godmother kicked on the cliff again, and a veil flew out of her right hand, wrapped around me, and I continued to fly up.
The godmother rose lightly on the cliff that she couldn't focus on, like a white cloud. Then I was thrown heavily on the platform.
"You take a rest and regain your strength, and we'll go out of the mountain. The godmother said that her tone began at some point, and it became calm but strong.
I obediently picked up the rations stored on the platform and ate them, and didn't talk any more. Now she seems to be in a bad mood, so I still don't want to hit the knife.
As soon as I finished eating a loaf of bread, my godmother's impatient voice came to my ears: "Are you alright?"
"Huh?" I was startled, and subconsciously swallowed what I was chewing in my mouth, only to choke on, and my face was purple.
The godmother glanced at me with some disgust, and suddenly waved a palm from afar, I immediately felt the fierce heavy blow on my chest, but I didn't feel it at all outside the chest, my body stagnated, shook it, my pupils dilated instantly, and then my stomach shrank suddenly, and I vomited out all the things I had just eaten. When the food was finished, he began to vomit blood.
Finally better. Godmother said coldly: "Okay, okay, let's go." ”
I looked at her with tears in my eyes, and in the face of absolute power, I could not even think of the slightest idea, so I had to wrap some food in a rag, and obediently she led me and flew out of the valley.
As soon as I stepped out of the valley, I was greeted by the majestic walls of the Swadia Empire, the great city of Dehrim.
I said, "Are you going to rush in and ask one by one?"
My godmother said, "So I want you to help me find it." ”
I pouted, I pouted, and since the monster was gone, the godmother's breath was rushing. I said, "Since you want my help, then you have to cooperate with me, and if I don't let you keep quiet, you won't be silent, you know?"
Godmother said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
I tried to avoid her terrifying eyes and said, "Finding someone is a technical job, if you want to find it successfully, you have to cooperate with me." It's not a threat, it's just a way to increase the chances of success. If you believe it, you can believe it, and if you don't believe it, you can roar. ”
My godmother gave me a cold look and stopped talking.
As we spoke, we had already walked to the gate of Dehrim, the Svadia Empire was worthy of being the largest country on the continent of Calradia, with strong national strength and sharp troops, and the guards standing at the gate were all armed with a set of sleeveless plate armor, a two-handed sword hanging behind their backs, and a spear in their hands. In the distance, some crossbowmen in hard leather armor were patrolling the city, and they were holding heavy crossbows that were strong enough to shoot through the heavy armor.
As soon as I reached the door, the guards stopped me with their spears: "Stop, what are you doing?"
In the past, the Swadia Empire's city gate was not so strict, but now the empire is joining forces with the Nord Kingdom to fight against the Vekia Kingdom in the east, and I heard that the Rhodok Kingdom in the west also has some restless restlessness, so it is much stricter.
I said, "Hello, sir, we are here to join our relatives." ”
The guards gave me a cold look: "Relatives, what relatives, where do you live, what are you doing?"
I laughed and said, "Old Philip, who lives at 198 Lower Palace Boulevard, next door to the Old Friends Bar. ”
The guard looked at me and said, "Who are you from that old Philip who never dies?"
I said, "I'm his distant nephew, hehe, I didn't have anything to prepare for this time, I asked the chief to drink, and I asked the chief to be accommodating, hehe......" I said, and I took out a hundred dinars and stuffed them into the guards' pockets.
The guard looked at his pocket, then at me, and said, "You're a bard too, aren't you?"
I smiled and nodded.
The guard smiled and said, "I think you're like, there's a poor sour smell on your body, hehe, go in." ”
I hurriedly nodded and bowed through the door, and as soon as I stepped in, I heard the guard shouting from behind: "You, what are you doing!"
I looked back and saw my godmother wrapped in a white veil, who had been stopped by the guards. I fumbled into my pocket and found that it was already very shy inside.
I said, "This, this is my godmother, hehe, sir, please be accommodating......"
The guard looked back at me and said, "Your godmother, you two, it's not easy for two people, I know you're singing, what is your mother doing, dancing?"
I was about to explain, when I suddenly saw my godmother's eyes become cold and fierce. I hurriedly signaled her to calm down, if she killed all sides when she entered the city, she would come in vain, and she wouldn't be able to inquire about anything.
When my godmother saw my eyes, she sneered and shook her head, and then suddenly glared at the guards, who were still showing off their might just now, and suddenly cut off their words, and stood still as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.
Godmother walked in past him, and he didn't even shake his head. His companion beside him was a little strange, but after seeing his eyes, he also let him go sluggishly.
I was dumbfounded and said, "What did you just do?"
The godmother said, "It's nothing, it's just spiritualism." ”
I weakly asked, "What will happen to them?"
The godmother said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that you will become an idiot, and as long as you are a city gate guard, you will become an idiot when you look at them." ”
My heart ached, I knew why I was stuffing those hundred dinars. Suddenly, I thought of Caesar, who was far away in Zenda at this moment, and asked urgently, "Did you do the soul dementorship in Caesar?"
The godmother said, "Who is Caesar?"
I thought for a moment and said, "It's one of my companions, you don't know him...... Have you ever been to a hidden valley at the source of the You River since you came out, and you have performed a soul trick on a young man about my age there who would assassinate Old G after looking at his glasses?"
The godmother said, "No, I didn't do it." I've been around the valley since I came out, and I've never been to the source of the You River, and I've never been hypnotized with assassination. She thought for a moment and said, "There are many people in the world who can know soul magic, besides me, there is also the Zowug Society, and some elders in the Order will also ...... Garnif will too. ”
Of course, I know which order "Order" refers to, but when I heard the name "Ganif", I was still stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize that it was the high priest of the Dark Order, my biggest boss, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, Caesar and I somehow got into trouble with the Dark Order Trial, maybe there was an elder who ran out and performed a soul dementorship, and after escaping death, my head suddenly rose to a sky-high price of one million, and this series of events gave me a sense of foreboding.
But before I could put everything together and sort it out, my godmother said, "Now that you're in the city, where are you going to inquire about the news?"
I came back to my senses, smiled and shook my fingers: "In this world, the most well-informed information is not the Lord's Mansion, nor is it any organization behind the scenes, do you know what it is?"
The godmother was a little impatient: "Say it quickly, I'm impatient!"
I smiled and said, "In the tavern, in the mouth of the bard." ”
That's just the way it is. Bards never stay in one place for too long, because people want to listen to the minstrels' nagging, not to listen to the sour little songs, but more to know what happened in another city, or even on the other side of Calradia, whether it is national policy, military situation, or gossip of the lords. When the people of one place got used to hearing the news of the bard, the poets would rush to another city and spread the word about what was happening in that city. Without them, the lives of those who don't leave their homes in Calradia would be lifeless.
Therefore, if you want to find out any news, you should look for the bards, and if you want to find out the news of the illegitimate children of the Holy Maiden of Darkness and the Holy King of Light, you must find the most gossip bards.
I was lucky that old Philip was the gossip of the bards, and it just so happened that he had come back from Lana yesterday.
My acquaintance with old Philip began three years ago in the summer, when I left my hometown of Buyoune and wandered in Calradia for a few years, and that day I came to Dehrim, and in the tavern I heard old Philip spitting on the stories that King Yaroger of Vecchia and the maids of his lord's house had to tell, and I wandered in Calradia for so long, and for the first time I saw such a sought-after bard, the crowd of onlookers who did not know the truth even crowded outside the tavern, and before old Philip could tell a beautiful joke, there was a wicked cheer from the crowd, and old Philip became even more red, as if those intimate things were all seen with his own eyes. After that time, I went to old Philip to learn a few tricks from him, and after a few drinks, old Philip and I got into a good relationship. He told me that his son, Philip, was about my age, if not dead, but that little Philip listened to the beautiful stories he told, and climbed the back window of the lord's wife in the middle of the night, and was killed by an arrow from the guard. He was so drunk that day, he hugged me and cried and laughed, and since then, I have been his nephew and student.
When I met Philip, he was telling a group of wolf-like drunkards about what he had seen in the steppe, how the Saiga Khan had seduced his daughter-in-law, and how Yan Hugu had been involved in the dwelling of Achmore and his father's concubine, and they were all fascinated by it, when he suddenly saw me standing at the door and smiling at him.
Philip was visibly stunned for a moment, and then he said to the drinkers who were surrounding him, "That's all for today, tomorrow, tomorrow, my nephew is back......" The listeners left with regret as they walked, and when they were gone, old Philip gave me a warm hug, and then he hurriedly took me into his house, and in the small room that was shabby and covered with cobwebs, he lowered his voice and said: " I've heard all about you, and I don't know who you've offended, and now you're paying a million dinars for your head, and you dare to run around? If I were you, I'd dig a cave deep in the mountains and hide it, and it would take ten or twenty years for you to come out. ”
I smiled and said, "Thank you for worrying, but I'm not that easy to die." On the one hand, I have come to see you on this time, and on the other hand, I want to ask you for some news. By the way, I'll introduce you first. I let go of my godmother and said, "This is my godmother, I want to ask you about her son who was separated twenty years ago." ”
Philip looked at the night show behind me, wrapped in a veil of misty clouds, and arched his hand and said, "I'm glad I will." He pulled me aside again and whispered, "I've never heard you say before, where did you come out of a godmother?"
I said, "I haven't had time to report it to your old man yet." ”
Philip was wary, "Is it reliable? Is it possible that I found you for the million bounty?"
I smiled bitterly: "It's impossible, people are very good at kung fu, if they want my head, they will take it away a long time ago, and they won't wait until now." ”
Philip was still a little uneasy, and said, "No matter what, you can't be careless." ”
I smiled and said, "Understand, let's talk about her son." "The second half of the sentence was deliberately amplified, so that my godmother could hear it. Of course, I didn't know that it was so close, but with her skills, I could hear it all clearly.
I briefly told Philip about the identity of my godmother and her past, and as a result, the old bard, who had traveled from south to north and narrowly escaped death several times, with the knife on his neck and still his face unchanged, was pale and excited. In the end, he said: "Emmons, boy, I have never found out that your fellow is so good at making up stories, you are about to catch up with Lao Tzu, there is you!"
I smiled bitterly: "It's not a story, it's all true, she's really a fake dark saint, the girlfriend of the holy king Leon......"
Philip said: "You just blow it, the dark saint of the Dark Order has been in their main altar all along, and they will travel around the country every year to preach, and there is no news that they have been missing for twenty years, is the holy woman in their main altar now an impostor?"
The godmother suddenly interjected: "This can't be wrong. There will always be only one person in the dark saints, who will keep chastity and preach all their lives. If one day a saint loses her virginity or dies, another saint is immediately chosen. So strictly speaking, I'm a former saint. ”
Philip looked at her blankly and said, "Are you really the Dark Saint?"
The godmother emphasized: "Former saint. ”
Philip said, "I know, I know, so that the legend is true?"
The godmother's face changed suddenly, and she asked, "What legend about my son?"
