Chapter 070: Legends
Old Philip leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, "Twenty years ago, when I had just returned to Decherim, that night I saw that the sky on the west side of the city was lit up by a raging fire, and the sky was full of red, mixed with the sound of thousands of people roaring angrily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Come to think of it, it must have been at that time that you were knocked off the cliff by the high priest?"
The godmother said, "Yes, and then?"
Philip Sr. continued: "After that day, we went to the scene to investigate, and found that several villages in the vicinity had been burned at the stake, which frightened us, because this was the method of the Dark Order, and every time we passed through a village, the whole village must be burned at the stake. At that time, ten years had passed since the scourge of the Dark Order, the Holy King had disappeared, and the five great powers had begun to fight again. So we panicked and went to report to the lord, but the lord didn't care, but fortunately we didn't hear anything like that happened later, and we were a little relieved. ā
Old Philip thought for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not, and finally he said: "Soon after, it was said that a group of knights dressed in black and black horses were seen passing through the central plains, going to the Kugit steppe, and then disappeared there, never to be seen again. It wasn't supposed to be anything, and I just listened to it when it was a message. But soon, there was a strange news from Kugit's side, who had been fighting against Saiga Khan for many years and had never heard of the Gurkha, the leader of the Black Flag Kugit who had a wife and concubine, suddenly had a five-year-old illegitimate child. When he was asked where the child came from and who the mother was, he replied that it was a fairy in the night, a child given to him by God. ā
The godmother stood up suddenly, and a strong sense of oppression suddenly burst out from her, and in an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped below freezing, and the chair, table, and simple bed that old Philip was sitting on made an overwhelming "creaking" sound, and old Philip was also so oppressed by this powerful oppression that he couldn't speak, his face was red, and it was difficult to breathe. I immediately struggled and waved my hand, shouting, "Calm down, let old Philip finish!"
The oppression in the room gradually disappeared, and old Philip looked at his godmother in horror, and the wooden cup he had been holding in his hand actually turned into pieces and scattered. The godmother took a few deep breaths and said softly, "I'm so excited, you go on." ā
Old Philip cautiously moved his chair a few steps away, though I knew it was completely useless. He then said in a trembling voice: "Someone asked Gurkha why God gave him this child, and he said that the child's mother had made a mistake and had received punishment from the Father, but the child was innocent, and God was reluctant to kill him, so he gave him the child and raised him. And said that this child will definitely have great achievements in the future and will be famous all over the world. At that time, many people laughed at the Gurkhas, obviously they didn't know which girl's belly was enlarged by smearing, but they made up such a mysterious and absurd story. Later, when the child was ten years old, the Gurkha sent the child out to travel and did not leave him alone. Later, the Gurkha was attacked in the Turbuk Basin in the south and was killed by the Saiga Khan, and the Black Flag Kugit almost fell apart, and the child miraculously appeared, relying on his identity as the only son of the Gurkha, integrating the strength of the Black Flag Kujit, which was still more than it was back then, and has now developed to the extent of competing with the Saiga Khan. ā
I came back to my senses and said, "The kid you're talking about is the current leader of Black Flag Kugit, Bestur?"
Old Philip sighed: "That's right, it's Bestul, he's a mysterious man full of secrets......"
The godmother calmed down at the moment and asked calmly, "Are you sure?"
Old Philip waved his hand again and again: "I've just heard such legends, and I'm really not sure if it's true." ā
The godmother said, "It's okay, I'll go for a walk and I'll know if it's true." ā
Old Philip said: "I have just come back from there, and there is a war going on there. Who knows where Besture is? He's a key figure in the Kugit Civil War, and if he had been so easy to find, he wouldn't have been assassinated sooner?"
When the godmother heard this, a terrifying sense of oppression leaked out of her body: "If Bestur is really my son, whoever dares to kill him, I will kill his whole family!" After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and was about to go out.
Something suddenly occurred to me and said, "Won't you take me?"
The godmother said, "What are you taking you for?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Take me to continue to help you inquire about Bestur's whereabouts......"
The godmother said: "No need, I have my own way to find it when I get to Kugit." ā
I smiled wryly and said, "But it'...... My head is worth a million......."
Godmother said coldly: "You are mainly afraid that someone will come to kill you." ā
I nodded helplessly, nonsense, that's a million, if I have a godmother with me, in my opinion, there are really not many people who can kill me.
The godmother didn't speak, and disappeared from the door with a bang.
Old Philip smiled, shook his head, and said, "Die, people are in a hurry to find their own son, your godson is not biological after all." ā
I also smiled bitterly, and was about to say something to laugh at myself, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of me, and a white shadow appeared at the door again, and my godmother looked at me with a frown.
"What are you waiting for, waiting for someone else to come and take your head?" said the godmother.
I was stunned and didn't react. But old Philip laughed first, and said, "Little nephew, it seems that your godson is not miserable." ā
We spent some more time in Dehrim, preparing the wagons and rations. After all, this time it was not a visit, it was from Dehrim to the Black Flag Kugit control area, even if you take the shortest route, through Uxhall through the Uruzdak Pass, it is also nearly 400 miles away, but it is not by the godmother to take the fly and fly to arrive. We bought four horses, two horses for each person, and prepared enough dry food to eat along the way. Of course, it costs a lot of money, but it's different with a godmother, her eyes widened, and the other party not only obediently waived the order, but also diligently sent some money for the journey.
Sometimes I think that spiritualism is a good thing, and when E.T asked me to choose a special ability, why didn't I choose a similar ability?
In the evening, under the threat of violence from our anxious godmothers, we finally left the city and galloped straight south in the night.
I don't know why, when I went out of the city, I suddenly felt strangely uncomfortable, as if a pair of eyes had been staring at me from a place I couldn't see, this feeling was very strange, and I always felt a layer of inexplicable ominous sense in my heart, feeling like an antelope about to be ambushed by a lion. But I turned my head to look at my godmother, who had been silent on the horse, and my heart was a little settled. With a master like my godmother, what do I need to worry about?
At daybreak, after a night of running at night, and the horses under our crotches looked awkward, we switched mounts near the village of Nimega, more than forty miles from Dehrim, and began a new round of galloping. Until both horses were weak and foaming at the mouth, they were now near Azgod, and the terrain had changed from plain to mountainous. I know that about 150 miles east-southeast is the Sagiche Pass, which separates the kingdom of Vecchia from the territory of the Kugit Khanate, and the fortress of Sagiche, which is firmly in the hands of the Kurgit Khanate, is built on the top of the pass. But we were in the direction of the Black Flag Kugit-controlled area, so we had to rest here for a while and then head south to the Uruzdak Pass.
I looked up at the sun in the west to determine the direction. That's when danger arises.
Although the sun had set, the halo was still very dazzling, and when I looked at the sun, my eyes were immediately stinged by the sun, and before the pupils could automatically adjust to the intensity of the light, a strong sense of danger came over me, and almost at the same moment, I vaguely saw that in the dazzling halo of the sun, there seemed to be one or two black dots shaking and approaching.
Only then did I hear the sharp whistling of arrows piercing through the air.
At the same time, in the place where I was stationed, two pits the size of a basin suddenly sank into the ground one after the other, and from the pits, a cluster of cold millilight and a cold knife light lit up at the same time. In the millilight was a thin needle full of death, and the light of the knife came from a short knife less than a foot long.
At that time, I was just stupid and stayed there stunned to let others kill.
But no attack was inflicted on me, only a dull cry of pain, the knifeman dressed in black, lurking in the pit and making a knife, was broken from the waist, and the upper half of his body flew uncontrollably into the air, just to meet the two black dots flying in the air, which were two special crossbow arrows with a length of 100 centimeters, and his body was pierced and torn apart by the crossbow arrows in an instant, and the lower half of his body fell limply among the scattered flesh and blood.
The mass of cow hair needles in front of him were all shot on a white veil that seemed to be weak and could not help the wind, and fell to the ground like rain.
Then, the figure that shot out the thin needle was still in the air, and he pulled out a short knife with a similar style to the assassin behind him, but before he could swing it, he was flexibly wrapped around the veil snake, and the whole person was instantly wrapped into a mummy, and then, the veil suddenly tightened, and a terrible scream came to an abrupt end, and the original humanoid mummy was twisted into a long sausage shape in an instant.
When the veil was loosened, I saw only a lump of flesh that seemed to have been trampled by thousands of horses, falling to the ground one by one. However, the miraculous thing is that the veil that wrapped him before was still white, and not even a drop of blood was stained.
It suddenly occurred to me that no one in all of Calradia would be able to kill me.
