Chapter 21: The Secret "Army"
Jack was still immersed in the illusion he had just had, and what Doug had said kept repeating in his head. Turks also saw that Jack was abnormal, and wanted to ask but didn't know how to start, thinking that Jack must have encountered something that disappointed him in the vision, causing him to fail to obtain spiritual magic.
The sun was still high in the sky, and the sun was a little hot.
"Turks, Doug said something strange to me. Jack spoke up anyway.
"Well, what's that? Tell me about it. "Turks really wanted to help Jack out.
The two sat together in the shade, and Turks actually wondered why Doug hadn't taught him the magic of summoning in the illusion, and judging from Jack's previous performance, it seemed that something had happened.
There are many people who say that some people have been brought in by demons and have lost their minds, and some people say that illusion is a gift from God to human beings, and he allows human beings to get things that are difficult to obtain in illusions, so as to achieve the purpose of sublimation.
The existence of the illusion is closely related to the legendary gods and demons, and its appearance will definitely cause unusual things to happen, not to mention, in terms of Turks' experience, in the illusion, he got the heavenly sword technique passed on by Doug, so it can also be said that another person will be confused when he enters the illusion. It's relative.
So, the illusion is two-sided.
Tex's concern at this time is that he has met the good Doug, but Jack has encountered an evil demon.
"I don't know, why did Doug say those things to me......" Jack shook his head, a little puzzled.
"What's the matter, tell me about it, maybe I can help you find out. Turks looked at Jack with great confidence. For Turks, Jack's friend, although he has known him for less than two months, is much better than those false city-state lords in terms of his experience, at least Jack never hides what he says, never deceives him, or flatters him with false affection. From the bottom of his heart, he thinks that Jack is a friend worth befriending.
"Doug told me that I was the 'savior' who only appeared once in 10,000 years." Jack said with a serious face, in fact, he didn't believe this sentence at all, the reason why he told Tex this was because Tex knew more about mainland affairs, and he told him that maybe Tex could find a way to answer him.
Who knows, the originally anxious Turks suddenly became flustered!
He ...... Did he really say that!?" Turks widened his eyes and looked at Jack in disbelief, and after a while, he gradually calmed down: "I, I don't know if there really is a god in this world, since I was a child, I heard adults say that in this world, every 10,000 years, there will be a great purge from heaven, which will make it change its owner again, and because human beings can always rely on a savior who only appears once every 10,000 years, so that they can survive and continue to rule this world." ”
"Also, though, these are legends, and they don't have much credibility. But ......," Turks continued.
"But what?" Jack couldn't wait to know what was going on.
Turks raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "However, the archaeologists of Garland have discovered from the soil layers of the Tana continent that every 10,000 years, a civilization is destroyed. In other words, the world really perishes once every 10,000 years......".
Jack was dumbfounded: Doug had told him these words in a vision! No matter the plot, no matter the ending, they were exactly the same! Who was Doug, and why did he tell him about it!? Isn't it enough to say that this world will perish once every 10,000 years, that is, every 10,000 years, a savior will appear? Is this legend true!?
At the moment, Jack's mood was extremely upset.
"Jack, there's something I have to tell you. Turks said as he looked at Jack with serious eyes.
Jack asked, "What's the matter?", and now it doesn't matter to him whether it's true or not, but what matters is that he wants to find more reasons to determine that what Doug said is true and who Doug really is.
"I consider you my friend. Turks said.
"Is that what you're going to say, my friend? If that's all, then you can rest assured. I am alone in Tana, without relatives and without cause, all in your care, and when you are at sea, and assign Mori to save us from danger, I know that you are a man who is both confident and resolute, and worthy of deep friendship. With that, Jack put his arm around Tex's shoulder.
In fact, he could see that what Tex was going to say next might be a secret in his heart, and he had never said it to a second person other than himself.
"Well, I'm relieved to have you", Tex said with a smile, "I have been back for a few days, and I have found that my father is somewhat mysterious. ”
Jack was interested: "Mystery, let's hear it, maybe I can help." ”
Turks looked around, and after making sure that there were only the two of them in the woods, he clung to Jack and whispered to Jack, "Father seems to be training the army in secret." ”
At first listen, Jack felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary, but he thought about it carefully, no, Coren's performance these days has always been relaxed and unfought, and it even made people look like they had almost given up on resisting Gabo's ten-year covenant. However, isn't the secret training of the army inconsistent with the performance in peacetime?
At this time, Turks said again: "Remember the lords' meeting that day?"
Jack thought for a moment and replied, "Remember." However, your Kodi got me drunk that night, and I don't know what happened after the dance. ”
"The problem is after that. Turks said mysteriously.
"What's going on?" Jack was also nervous by Tex's grim appearance.
"Well, something happened. That day, after you had drunk too much, my attendants and I sent you back to your bedroom to rest, and then I wanted to go back to the palace to arrange for the various lords to rest or go back to their respective city-states. But when I got to the gate of the palace, I heard my father talking to the lords about the 'army'. Turks said.
What happened next made me even more puzzled. When I thought it was nothing, I was about to walk in, but I heard the Lord of Lille in Eddard City mention the 'Orc Army'. I originally thought they were talking about those sea beasts on the sea, but after listening carefully, I realized that they were talking about the 'beast troops' on land!"
"Ahh
"Shhhhhh......h ”
Jack was covered by the thug's nose and couldn't breathe, and Turks found that he was too strong in his hurry, so he quickly let go of his hand and continued: "This 'beast army' is not a sea beast on the sea. But...... of the Missus. ”
If this is true, could it be said that Cologne's state of unpreparedness is all because of these beasts?
"Are you sure you heard me right!?weren't you drunk?" asked Tex, Jack asked Tex very seriously, after all, this is a big deal, and you can't be sloppy!
"That's right. I'm sure. But the wine can't make me drunk, I was pretending to be drunk that day, and I don't want to accompany some uncles to get drunk. Tex laughed contemptuously as he spoke.
"So, where did your father find the orc troops, and where are the orc troops?" asked Jack.
"That's why I'm telling you about it. You're more analytical than I am, you should be able to think of it, right?" Turks said, looking at Jack with a trusting look.
But Jack didn't have a clue. How could he come up with the origin of the beasts and the location of the beasts out of thin air, and he was not Koren, and he couldn't send people to find those beasts.
"Coren, by the way!" said Jack, who suddenly remembered something.
"Do you remember the Luthor at the wine table who sat next to your father and kept looking at me with strange eyes!?" Jack's eyes lit up.
"What's the matter? the Divine Messenger?" Turks only had question marks in his head, and he couldn't think of any connection between the two.
"Luther! that's him!". Jack couldn't help but clap his hands.
Jack thought in his heart, this Luther, it can be said that everyone knows it in the Missus country, but his true identity should not be as simple as the divine will of the people. A year ago, Coren sent Prince Tex to the Holy Ape Country, and he couldn't just let him go under a false pretext! There must be some purpose! By the way, Tex said, discovering another exit from the Tana Snow Mountain! Could this be Tex's unintentional gain!?
Jack's mind now has an infinite number of threads, but there has never been a beginning to connect them. He felt like his brain was going to explode!
"There must be something I forgot, something I must have forgotten......" Jack kept repeating the phrase as he clutched his head anxiously and thought deeply.
"Tex, suppose that if it were you and you were your father, where would you hide the murderous orcs to hide from people?" Jack looked at Tex's expectant eyes, hoping that what he couldn't think of could be reminded by Tex, who still has a clear brain.
Turks was suspicious: "I...... Me?"
"Yes, you want to!" said Jack.
"If it were me, of course I'd hide them outside of the Missus! Beasts, they must be difficult to manage, and if they can't be subdued, won't they hurt the innocent?" replied Turks.
"And then, to be more specific? Think about it, what's the safest place you think is, where there's so much space, where is it not noticeable?" asked Jack eagerly.
The answer was actually on Jack's lips, but he just couldn't figure out where the orc troops would be.
"In the wilderness. Turks couldn't think of it, and he said these words helplessly.
And then, as if everything was understood, Jack exclaimed, "Yes!
"Ahh
"yes, in the wilderness!haha! Turks, you can, you can think of it!" Jack said in surprise.
But Tex is still full of questions, what is the wilderness, and this is not a specific place, how can it be called an answer.
"Turks, think about it, where can it be called a wilderness?" asked Jack with a smile.
"Where, where......" Turks searched his mind for what could be called a wilderness.
The answer is out.
"Holy Ape Country!" Turks jumped!
