Chapter Twenty-Eight: Into the Canyon
Jack's desperate protection was exchanged for a small life that had just arrived in the world.
The group left the village in the light of the fire behind them.
"Why did you keep the offspring of this cold-blooded animal?" Turks looked at Jack with a blank expression.
Jack, who was holding the little life in his arms, smiled slightly and said, "Because it is a fresh new life, it does not pose any threat to us." β
"But after all, he was born of the egg of the Rem Fire Dragon!No matter what, it can't change the fact that it's a killing machine!" said Tex in a raised tone, a little angry.
"Didn't you say that, Turks? Rem fire dragons used to not attack living creatures, and they are living in harmony with other beings. Perhaps, as you said, it was Lina's reason that caused the Rem Fire Dragon to fly out of the mountains. Maybe Lina controlled them, and they had to do such a brutal thing. Jack said calmly as he looked at the crouched red creature in front of him.
"But, isn't that a wolf lured in!? there's no guarantee that little Rem won't grow up and do the same thing as his parents!" roared Turks.
"Don't talk about Tex, I know what you think. But I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with preserving an innocent life. I've seen enough carnage, and I don't want to see another cold-blooded slaughter. Imagine if we killed it now, what difference would we have from those soulless monsters?" Jack still insisted on his thoughts.
Fortunately, Jack's words convinced the stubborn Tex. The little Rem dragon was left behind.
If you go over a hill ahead, you can see the Holy Ape Country, and Coren and the others have also arrived in the territory of the Holy Ape Country at this time, and they are waiting at the entrance of a forest at the bottom of the mountain.
Because of the fight with the Rem Fire Dragon, the entire team of more than 100 people has now lost more than a dozen people, but the morale of the team has not been depressed by this, because they know that no matter what happens, the hope of saving the Missus Nation is still in them, even if it is death, they must die as they deserve.
Coren asked the men to stand in line and counted the number of menβa full ninety more.
In the territory of the Holy Ape Country, Jack met countless residents of the Holy Ape Country who he thought were monkey monsters, except for the difference between them and humans in appearance, they were really not bad at all - there were manners, discipline, and culture.
From north to south, along the way, Jack and the others were treated with courtesy by many residents of the Holy Ape Country and the city lord, which was a picture that Turks and Jack could not have imagined. It is said that at that time, Jack was knocked unconscious by a stick and dragged into the Holy Ape Country Prison, but now he has become a guest of honor, and he is treated very differently.
Thinking of this, Jack suddenly felt strange -- judging from the performance of the inhabitants of the Holy Ape Country, they all knew King Koren and knew him very well! However, the wisdom of the people of the Holy Ape Country was not given by the Vidi Kingdom? The Vidi Kingdom and the Misu Kingdom were mortal enemies, how could they share a friendly neighbor?
Jack told Tex about this question, and in exchange for the other party's sympathy.
The more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and finally came to the conclusion that Gabo and Koren had never had any vendettas, and that everything was a pretense! However, if this is the case, the question arises, why is there an extra "ten-year covenant" for no reason? And the expiration date of this ten years must coincide with Lina's aggressive plan so coincidentally. So, did Gabo and Coren reach a tacit understanding?
"What do you think, let's go first!" Jack didn't find himself standing there for a long time, knowing that he heard Turks call him.
"Oh!," replied Jack. So he took little Rem and followed.
Time has not been delayed in the slightest. Coren was greeted and approached the palace of the Holy Ape Kingdom, and then King El walked out dressed in fine clothes.
After all, apes are still apes, and they can't change the habit of imitating human behavior. Jack and his party were all dressed in armor, including Al's squire, who was the only one who was tall, wearing a conspicuous golden coat and a golden crown. Not only that, but El's every move was quite pompous, and even the next step had to be soft and slow, and he shook his body.
The soldiers of the Missilean Kingdom who were standing neatly in front of the palace couldn't help but laugh when they saw such a humanoid king.
King El probably noticed that something was wrong with him, and quickly straightened his posture and said to Cologne, "Then, let's go to Peter's Grand Canyon." However, the monkeys' habits remained unchanged, and the El King involuntarily shrunk and reached out to scratch his itchy cheeks.
When the soldiers in front of the hall saw this picture, they immediately laughed, and the scene was a little chaotic.
King Cologne, whose expression had not changed from beginning to end, shouted at such a scene: "Soldiers, keep our manners!" and the crowd fell silent. Thinking about it, Colon is still quite a deterrent for the entire Missilean soldiers.
Peter's Grand Canyon?Could it be that Coren said that the orc troops stay all year round?
More than 100 horses, along with the carriages of the kings and jacks, drove to the southwest of Peter's Grand Canyon.
Once again, Jack was treated with the utmost courtesy - riding in the same carriage as Al and Cologne.
"You should understand what I'm saying, right?" said Al suddenly to Jack, who was sitting by the car door.
Jack, who was in a daze, heard Al's words and immediately replied nervously, "Yes, yes, I understand, I can." After speaking, I couldn't help but think alone in my mind: Cut, it was obviously the little monkeys in your country who knocked me unconscious, if I hadn't been locked up for a month, I wouldn't have wanted to understand your monkey language.
"Hahaha!" Al's laugh was shrill and ugly, and he looked at Jack with a sparkle in his eyes and said, "King Coron said that I should pick someone up from the sea, but I didn't expect it to be you." If I had known it was you, I would have treated you. β
King Cologne, who was sitting opposite Jack, also looked at Jack with strange eyes at this time and said, "Hmm...... I still don't believe that you're the one I'm waiting for. β
"Wait for me?" Jack wondered, "Why are you waiting for me? Wait for me, so you know I'm going to land from the sea?"
yes, why wait for him?
"It's hard to explain to you right now, anyway...... Well, how can I tell you. Alas......" King Coren looked helpless.
Before Jack could answer, Coren said, "I don't know why God told me that the fate of our country, and indeed the whole world, is in the hands of a young man of unknown origin." After saying that, Koren and Al looked at each other, silent.
What does it mean? What foreigners, what save the world?
Jack was stunned.
