Book 703 The Confusion of Eternal Life
Turrell became smaller, and she was originally a standard adult woman, at most slightly smaller than her peers. ++x+ It's different now, although it's not enough to go back to childhood, but that face and that slender little body are only available to a girl around twelve years old.
"You, what's wrong with you!!"
Tiddlelem, who entered the room, grabbed the chair that Tourel was carrying for herself, she didn't want such a child to work for herself.
Turrell pulled a cushion from the collapsed pile of books and handed it to the Queen, inviting her to sit down.
"I made myself smaller, ...... in time"
Turrell got a research topic from Zhou Shu, and the research work went very smoothly, she had never encountered such a smooth situation in her life, and all the problems she found were solved in a flash of inspiration, which made her begin to wonder if she would be able to surpass Zhou Shu's magician friend named Aleusha in two more years.
This did not last long. After Turrell finished developing the magic array, checked the details, and made sure that there were no mistakes, she stood on the magic circle as a guinea pig, wanting to make herself a few hundred hours younger, and then play big.
She still didn't know what was wrong, why she was able to restore her body to the age of twelve with just a little bit of magic. She was sure that this was her twelve-year-old self, and if she had been a little earlier, she wouldn't have this sweet taste on her. Not being able to get over the time when she was tricked into eating poisoned apples made her a little disappointed.
Originally, she wanted to try it again to see if she could go back another year. It's so small anyway, it doesn't matter if it's any smaller. As a result, she found that the magic array could only make herself young in minutes at most, and it seemed that twelve years old was a threshold. It couldn't be any more advanced.
Tiddlelime listened to his friend's words and sat in his chair dumbfounded, not knowing what to comment on. After a minute, she stomped her foot and said, 'It's all Zhou Shu's fault!', which can be regarded as finding the culprit.
Turrell doesn't think it's Zhou Shu who harmed herself to become like this, and she can't talk about 'harm'.
"All of a sudden, I was five years younger. The increase in lifespan by five years is a good thing for me. Turrell expounded his thoughts on a rational side.
"But you've become a child!"
"yes, it's nice to be a kid. β
Turrell is actually quite happy about this, and there are many reasons for being happy, such as her personal menarche came relatively late, almost fourteen years old, which means that she can not worry about those days for a year and a half.
Tiddlerum stared at the cluttered room and spotted the magic circle that had been laid out on the floor. She built yì to throw this thing away, and Turrell was naturally unwilling.
"Promise me, my dear. Don't let yourself be a baby!"
Turrell shrugged, "I said it would only take me back to twelve, and no matter how much I used it, it wouldn't make me younger." β
"But you'll continue to perfect this magic array until this problem is solved, won't you?"
"That's right. Turrell smiled at the Queen, revealing a newborn tooth that had just been replaced.
Tiddlelime was so worried about how she would look the next time she saw her, so she had no choice but to use her status as queen to give orders to her friend. Let her stop her research on this magic circle and put this thing away!ββ
Master Zhou yawned in the barracks. I'm teaching Aleusha chess, and this witch can't even play.
The two of them are really boring and ruthless, and there are very few things in the barracks that can make them send lonely. Aleusha had already lowered the neckline of his suit to the lowest, implying that he explicitly wanted to hook up with Zhou Shushang-bed to relieve boredom, but he was rejected and forced to learn chess here.
There is always an end to boring days. They waited here for a day and a half, and finally waited for the day when the slow army would start attacking.
Originally, the military was not prepared to continue to take the initiative to attack, but Zhou Shu's very confident speech made these people change their attention. The attitude of treating the enemy's army as nothing made the military top brass very envious, and they also wanted to say such lines like Zhou Shu, but it should be no longer a play in this life.
The army went into action. Master Zhou used the Book of Summoning to search for the nearby Patron Saint.
This march is completely the military's own task, and there is no participation in the temple guardian spirit, so as long as there is a guardian spirit, then it is definitely from the east country.
Zhou Shu was wearing a tracksuit, riding a horse, and behind him sat Alyusha, who was holding his waist hard.
Aleusha couldn't ride a horse, so he had to run to make do with Zhou Shu.
"You can fly in the sky, you don't have to be with me. Zhou Shu didn't like her to move her hands and feet around her waist.
"I haven't ridden a horse before, can't I ride it once?"
"Okay......" Zhou Shu really didn't know how to deal with this guy.
The Grey Witch once said that you should never sleep with a witch, and witches are very good at using magic to enslave men. The Gray Witch once teased Zhou Shu in this regard, but after so many things happened, the two sides have basically become ordinary friends and will not transform into any other feelings.
He had always remembered the words of the Grey Witch, so he was extremely nervous about Aleusha's attitude now.
He probably already knew Aleusha's character, and she probably didn't think about turning herself into a slave, and the teasing before was probably really just trying to pass the time.
Now that the two of them are riding on horses, bumping up and down, Alyusha also started the adult-human joke mode, joking there, so that Zhou Shu didn't know how to complain about her.
The army soon crossed the border and encountered small groups of enemy reconnaissance units. Knowing that these things were his job, Aleusha grabbed the USB flash drive and threw a metal pendant into the sky to transform into a metal ball, which was obviously the magic metal that Aleusha called Mithril. Then the tiny Mithril Ball exploded and scattered towards the enemy, destroying their brainstems cleanly.
Zhou Shu very much hopes to have such a murderous and clean eldest lady, which is the biggest shortcoming of the sick princess in her life, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be changed.
There is no point in killing such enemy scouts, and the death of these guys will reveal the location of the army in itself.
The number of troops who attacked with Zhou Shu this time was only 2,000 people, which was already a large-scale march for this country. Barely able to be maneuverable. Tens of thousands of people are rare.
Bringing these people out, Zhou Shu actually felt quite guilty, he didn't know how much these guys could go back.
In order to make Tiddleleme, the person in power, understand what war is, he is ready to make her lose something in this battle, such as herself.
Zhou Shu was sure that Tiddlelime should still like himself. He wasn't prepared to pull too many troops to die. Once Tiddlelime felt the pain of his skin, he felt that it would be almost enough to die for himself.
This time, he was ready to fake his death. Use the 2,000 men at hand to attract the enemy's Patronus army, and then let Aleusha make a big explosion and prepare for 'all to die'.
He was ready to pull a bunch of enemy gods on his back before he died, and the class of guardian gods must be completely eliminated, and to create a healthy society, no one needs to be able to transcend the royal power and the law. Magicians and living people understand this, so they are willing to let their powerful selves hide from the back of the world. Do not interfere with the normal operation of ordinary society of ordinary people.
The Patronus here clearly doesn't have the consciousness of a magician, and runs out to mingle with the humans and make their world a mess.
On the other hand, there are also pseudo-gods in the White Moon Kingdom, which are real pseudo-gods and not pseudo-gods who make this kind of pediatric thing. The gods and spirits of the people are just honestly hiding, using their own strength to protect the human beings living in the land, and they are silently believed.
Zhou Shu has a lot of resentment towards the guardian spirit, but the number of those guys is not very large. There is room for eradication. As long as these guys are killed sparsely enough to form a class. Zhou Shu's wish can be considered fulfilled.
He was not prepared to carry out the Reformation on this continent, and there were so many messes in Western history, most of which were due to the Reformation. The most chaotic French Revolution, which tossed for so long, finally came full circle and returned to the original point.
It was impossible to promote the Reformation process on its own or by the power of a king. Zhou Shuren is also relatively lazy, and he doesn't have that idle time, so ** elimination is the only feasible way he can think of.
It is not surprising that six hours after Zhou Shu followed the army to invade the enemy's border, the army of the East Country finally gathered in one place and began to try to drive away the two thousand friends who had arrived unexpectedly.
Their movements have been fast. If this were a world with telephones, it would take up to twenty minutes to achieve such an effect.
After crossing a sparsely weeded high ground and finding the enemy waiting for him with bows, Zhou Shu had almost seen the gang of people from various strongholds panicked with weapons and gathered in one place to intercept their own army. He could also see the guys being sieveed by Aleusha's Mithril Bullet a few minutes later.
There are about two thousand enemies, and there are three Patronus, all of which are centaur-like animals, each of which is better looking than Steel Hoof. It only takes a metal ball and a minute to deal with these people.
After this was done, a certain officer with a knighthood who led the army made a request to Zhou Shu, hoping to pass on his youngest son to him......
Zhou Shu has experienced many forms of gratitude in his life, but what this guy brought up is undoubtedly the most terrifying. He now has a godson, that is, Yang Xi's girl, and he doesn't want other children's names to appear in his household registration book before he gets married.
The officer should have been excited, and if the other soldiers hadn't been marching on enemy territory, they would have been running around cheering and cheering.
They were happy, but they were also very sad. These professional soldiers are fighting to the death to defend their homeland, which is not as effective as moving their fingers, and they suddenly feel that the teammates who died in the previous battle are not worth it, and feel that their lives have been wasted.
Fortunately, the feelings of the soldiers are relatively simple, and sentimentality is a matter of a while. The officer's side had never expected to be able to break through the first line of defense so smoothly, so he temporarily decided to speed up the march and try to attack one of the enemy's border cities tonight.
They were besieging the city only to put pressure on the country of the east. With just 2,000 people, it is useless to attack the city, they can't hold it, and they will be robbed in minutes, so they will fight a dozen at will and rest in the city for a day. And then marched againβ
Two days later, the palace of the western capital. Tiddlerum takes young Tourel for a stroll through the gardens of the palace in early spring.
As the queen of a country, generally speaking, there is little time to hang out, and the queen needs to put her ass on the throne safely, and there is no chance to move away.
I'm here today because Turrell came to her and asked for her help.
"You mean. You want me to help you find someone who is willing to ...... Someone who wants to be younger?"
Tiddlelime was rarely asked to do a thing by Tourrell, but it really made it difficult for her. She knew that Turrell was looking for someone to experiment with, to test her magic array. Although Her Majesty the Queen had ordered that Turrell not be allowed to continue studying the magic array, Tourel agreed. However, as a magician, she wanted to know if what she had developed would make people five years younger, or if they would be twelve years younger.
"It's not a research category, I just want to know how things work. Turrell tried her best to convince herself to be the Queen's friend.
"Listen, you're experimenting with human life!"
Turrell spread his hands. "That's right, my magic circle will give them more life. β
Tiddlelime didn't really like this kind of thing, and some didn't want to get involved. She imagined that if the matter of this magic array was spread, it was estimated that a large number of old nobles would soon come to the door and ask to return to their youth.
The Queen is not afraid of being troubled by these people, she is worried about the future. If these old nobles could be forever young with the help of Tourrell, what would their children think? His title is no longer passed on, and there are more and more descendants. It is inevitable that there will be some bad guys, which may cause a lot of tragedy.
God has made humanity go down to childhood, and reversing that would be very troublesome. While the queen shouldn't be afraid of trouble, Tiddle felt that now was not the best time to catch fire.
She didn't want to talk about it to her friends, and after she got smaller, Tiddlelime found herself coaxing her unconsciously. Really think of her as a twelve-year-old little sister. She believed that this change in her attitude could be regarded as one of the troubles caused by the magic array. She didn't want to change herself from being a sister of Tourel's generation to her big sister.
Turrell didn't think as much as Her Majesty the Queen, and in her opinion, her desire was simple: to test the performance of her goods. And it won't cause trouble to people, but it will give benefits to the real people, and she doesn't think there's anything bad about it.
Tiddlelime sighed, hesitantly expressing his concerns.
A world where titles cannot be changed is troublesome, and Tiddlerum can prevent anyone from using the magic circle. But she was sure that it would spur the dying nobles and give them a reason to overthrow the royal rule.
Everyone wants to live forever, and they don't want to see their bodies grow old little by little, and they don't want to see them continue to be damaged. Teeth begin to chipped and cracked, skin is dry and loose, and limbs are worn out or even mutilated, and these changes can be painful. If there is a hope that can change these at this time, I believe that many people will not hesitate to go to war to seize hope.
If this thing had been kept with Turrell, she would never have been able to protect the magic circle as a girl. It's not scary to lose that thing, it's scary...... The whole world will be in the midst of a battle for this rejuvenating miracle.
As she walked around, she listened to Her Majesty the Queen beside her talk about this, and halfway through hearing it, she understood the severity of the matter.
"In other words, we can't leak the matter of the magic array?"
Tiddlerum nodded, "As long as the news spreads and someone believes it, it will cause you countless troubles." β
"So......" Turrell asked a very sensitive question, "Won't you want to rejuvenate once in a dozen years?"
"I don't want to!" said Tiddlelem very simply, "I want to grow old and die like a normal person!"
But Zhou Shu didn't want to get old. With a single sentence, Turrell completely shattered what Tiddlelem had been insisting on. "Zhou Shu gave me those sugars and asked me to study them, the purpose is to find a more relaxed way to make the body younger. He must have wanted to use this magic array, and there was no reason why I shouldn't lend it to him, after all, it was his candy that made me understand how magic works......"
Turrell's words made it clear that Zhou Shu would return to his youth when he grew old, whether it was through the magic array or the strange candy in his own hands.
These words were in Tiddlelem's ears. She was worried. If Zhou Shu can stay young, he will keep getting old...... She couldn't quite imagine such a thing.
At this moment, the little queen has long faced her sincerity, especially after seeing Zhou Shu's appearance with black hair and black eyes.
She is not very confident that she can attract Zhou Shu by relying on her own kingdom alone, and it is more secure to have some postures accordingly.
"Thanks to you......" Tiddlelem grabbed little Turrell's hand, "...... My ** has increased again. βββ
Zhou Shu captured three cities and a mint during his days of marching. The others were now watching the sun set from the roof of the mint, which was the direction of the West Country.
Everyone has **, and the specific content depends on the society in which that person lives. He is very sure that those who fought for the beauty and status of Xiangche in the first world have a ** attached to the social environment.
I don't know when the car became a symbol of a person's success. Zhou Shu has no special preference for transportation, if anything, the best transportation he has ever used is Sun Egg, followed by Aleusha. If possible. He hopes that Sun Egg will be able to reclaim his wife's superpowers.
In the first world, where cars were compared, there seems to be no such thing as an object that is recognized by the general public as a symbol of a person's success. Even if the courtyard mansion was not very attractive to the rich in the West no Country, the officer who led the team lived in the barracks, and although he had his own fief, there was no mansion there, because he felt that it was rare to go to the fief once. There's no need to build a big house and fall into ashes.
The reason why Zhou Shu would go to the roof of the mint to think about these things is very simple. Because he found a large amount of gold under the mint.
It seems that the people of the East no Kuni who have evacuated here think that it is absolutely safe to hide the gold in the ground, and they can only dig it out after the ** team successfully counterattacks.
But it's a pity that with a metal witch like Aleusha, she can sense any mess underground, just like Liberty Eagle can easily feel the stones underground.
Only one person had died in the course of a few days of marching, and the hapless fellow had a problem with his horse's shoe. fell off a horse on a slope and died. The army will be going crazy against the gold, and everyone is excitedly discussing how to transport the gold back to the western country.
The amount of gold hidden in this place is many times more than the pocket money that Zhou Shu gave to Tiddlerum before, as if all the gold of the East Country was stored here.
Obviously, the rulers of this country also do not understand that the foundation of endowment lies in commerce, and the basis of commerce lies in the flow of capital. Storing so much gold. It is very stupid not to let them flow into the market as money. The country of the west is already experiencing a shortage of money supply, and it is similar to want to come to the country of the east. In a modern country, institutions such as central banks have long organized the release of water.
Master Zhou didn't care about the gold itself, he had seen more on the dragon's side. He is not interested in the capitalization process of this world, and his financial knowledge is all learned from reading economic history, which is extracurricular reading for him. Zhou Shu is very melancholy now, because it is about to be time to test his acting skills, and these soldiers who have followed him for so long are about to return to the world.
The Book of Summons shows a large number of Patronus beings appearing around. Their purpose is presumably to retrieve the gold that has been discovered, and it seems that the East Country really values this money......
Now Zhou Shu is like a student who is about to go to the exam room, the kind of student who is in the middle and lower grades, and he is extremely afraid of the exam itself. Aleusha would have hid herself, and like the Grey Witch who could blend into the shadows, she would merge into a one-man tall bronze dressing mirror.
The Grey Witch entered the shadows to make sure she wouldn't be attacked, and so did Aleusha. She wasn't sure if the enemies had the ability to hurt her, so to be on the safe side, he burrowed into the mirror, which would make a person who was writhing in the mirror dance, his posture reflected in the bronze mirror, looking terrible.
Zhou Shu sat on a high place, trying to find those guardian spirits who were close. He'd been sitting here for a long time, and he had finally spotted the enemy.
"It's OK to start...... Play dead. (To be continued......)
