Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Four

"All right, little Benny, get up quickly, your sheep are going to fall to their deaths. Why do you have to call things that you can't remember, just call me Sister Cecilia like before. ”

A gentle laugh drifted slowly upwind, not high-pitched, but it stopped the boy from stumbling and growling, and the sheep, frightened by the faint electric fire that had suddenly exploded, jumped out of the bushes and ran towards the flock, while the man who made the sound was already walking slowly on the hillside in the shepherd boy's field of vision. When the words were over, she was already standing not far in front of the young man.

The shepherd boy looked up blankly, but immediately remembered something and lay down again: "No, no...... You, you are now the messenger of the great god of the mountain, you must be called your majesty, this is the will of the Great Khan, and it is also the will of the god of the mountain, you are the messenger of the great god, the incarnation of the holy mountain Yamat, and everyone who sees it must ......

The shout turned into a scream halfway through, and there was a fire on the high pouting buttocks, and the stinging pain made the rough-skinned teenager jump up suddenly, covering his ass and looking at the approaching woman at a loss. But in a small leather bag that the woman then threw at him, the rich smell of cheese made the boy immediately forget about those things, reached out and grabbed a piece of cottage cheese and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing it.

"Nobody's robbing you, fool...... Remember, now I'm sneaking out, so don't mention the names and stuff for others to see, you know?"

Fighting with the cheese bars, Benny nodded as if he were struggling...... Of course. Anyway, he didn't understand why 'running out' was sneaking around - Krurod's parenting habits were not much different from herding, and the child was mixed with the lamb from the time he could walk, and then the calf and the foal. So this teenager in his early teens had no concept of being restrained at all. I didn't know that the large number of salutations he had just called out were not only used to kowtow, but also meant that she was no longer the naughty princess who could sneak out of the royal tent and play with these inferior shepherds, but that she had to be high, and that a low-class shepherd like him would never be able to walk within a hundred steps in his life.

The innocent boy was glad not to think about the awkward names—I had heard that if anything was wrong, the Khan's guards would pursue the charge of disrespect. And although he had memorized it for several days, he still couldn't memorize those things completely, and now he neglected to practice after a few months. I've forgotten most of it. The god of the mountain is above, and the crime of great disrespect is ten strokes with three cowhide whips, and the adults can only breathe half a breath. If it was a child like him, he might have died directly......

"That...... Princess, the last time I asked them, they said you wouldn't be able to show up for months. At least it won't come out until the snow falls......"

Swallowed a few pieces of rare milk. The young man remembered to speak to the noble lord again, but by this time, the woman's eyes had already fallen on the snowy top of the distant mountain, which was as thick as a dark cloud of black oil. It was as if the flashing electric light on it contained some unique news, and it turned a deaf ear to the young man's greetings.

The boy scratched his head and smiled, but didn't ask much. Because from the time when I was sensible in memory, this young lady was like this. Occasionally he would come to play with him, and then tell him things he didn't understand, and if he asked too many questions, this sister would sometimes hit him on the head in a rage, although she was only a woman, but her hands were very strong, and often knocked Benny dizzy, and a big bag, so Benny had long learned to be silent when talking to her, and never asked what she didn't want to say until she had to.

Of course, in fact, the last few times we met, her things have been quite interesting.

Benny remembers the last time, two or three months ago, when the grass had just grown. She talked about the whole continent, about the war between the great kingdom called Tumenes and another larger empire, and heard that the king of the big country called the empire died, and as a result, his three sons each got a territory, and wanted to attack other people's territories, but because of disunity, they were now attacked by Tumenes, that is, in the past few months, they have lost nearly thirty percent of the land, but where they have not been attacked by Tumenes, they still keep killing each other.

This is not an interesting story, but the stupidity of those guys still made him laugh for a long time, brothers are brothers, no matter how much the property is divided, can the robbers come and ignore it? How can these countries be worse than those herdsmen with mixed castes?

But this time, as if she had something on her mind, she remained silent, so the boy didn't know what to do, so he had to stand in the field with her. However, after a while, his gaze began to drift secretly......

Secretly, little by little, he swept over the curves of the two plump leather robes on the girl's chest, glanced at them very quickly, and then immediately turned away like an electric shock.

The curves of that place are round, warped, and full of power...... In fact, a boy of Benny's age had no idea about this kind of thing at all, except that he had heard several of his uncles say when they got together and got drunk, that the more bulging the chest, the better the woman, and that such a woman could not only give birth to the best and strongest son, but also be the most suitable to hold......

'The best thing in the world to hold is a good woman's, softer than a newborn lamb, hot, very springy, the best thing to touch is a good woman's buttocks, the bigger the better, fragrant and ......soft'

That's what the guys seem to say.

Benny still didn't know what was good about these two places of women, and the women around him all looked similar, but now he suddenly realized that the two clumps in front of him were really large, and very soft—because even the thick leather robe could not cover them, and they breathed with it. The two were still trembling slightly, and they must have been very soft.

The boy thought suddenly, and then he felt as if his face had been burned by fire.

It would be nice to be able to touch yourself. Maybe, no, it's worth it even if it's eaten by a snow bear right away......

But this kind of thing is just thinking about it yourself.

Even a ten-year-old child, even if he is only the son of a servant shepherd, knows the truth very well...... She is the eldest princess under the golden horde of the entire tribe, and the messenger of the god of the mountain. is still a mage, a mage that Krurod has never had, and it is impossible for a person like herself to meet someone as noble as her. Recently, when the boy remembers these things that happened to her, he will feel as if he has done something wrong in his heart, although he doesn't understand it.

So. He could only take advantage of the moment like this to sneak a glance at the two curves that quivered beneath the fur. Then he hung his head sharply.

Time passed slowly in such a calm, but in the end, even if he looked at the two slightly trembling curves, he could not make the boy ignore the dark clouds that had thickly covered half the sky on the horizon - the afternoon sky was turned into a somewhat terrifying black and white, and those rolling black clouds were menacing no matter how you looked at them:

"Princess, it's not that I won't accompany you, it's just that the saliva of this Barontra is about to fly over, and the sheep at home have to be driven back. Otherwise, if it rains, your lungs will rot and die. ”

Barontra is a giant monster in the legend of the Krurod people. There are seven heads in the shape of tigers, bears, monkeys, goats, vultures, wolves, and dragons, and seven pairs of wings, flying in the sky and never landing, and most of all, hiding in thick dark clouds. Every head of its head can spit out a poison from its mouth, mixed with the terrible rain that falls from the sky, and brings painful diseases to all living things, so over time that kind of mountain rain has been given this name.

Of course, not everyone believes this kind of ancient rumor used to scare those herdsmen, especially people as well-informed as Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him, most of them scoff at it.

"Little Benny, do you believe in this kind of thing, don't worry, it's not a Balontra, and it won't rain. She smiled, and then sat down on a meadow first: "Or are you actually afraid of thunder?"

"I'm not afraid of thunder!"

The young man who felt underestimated blushed, clenched his fist and waved it a few times, "Krurod people, there is no fear of thunder and lightning, the real son of the mountains Thunderbolt is our brother!"

After saying all the bold words he had heard from his father, he sat down on the other side, and did not forget to throw another piece of dried milk into his mouth and chew it vigorously. But this anger could not last long after all, and the rumbling thunder in the sky gradually became louder, so that he finally turned his head, and then saw a majestic scene that he had never seen in his life.

On the distant summit of the mountain, a thick cloud of mist was condensing and coiling from the four episodes of the sky, writhing and twisting like a giant serpent—and then the vast cloud and mist piled up in the air into peaks and peaks not inferior to those of the mountains, and the gray mist rolled and stretched out. Almost swallowed half of the peak, and in a flash of thunder, the blue-white electric light instantly reflected the black edge of the mountain peak in the clouds, but countless branches of lightning added a brilliant outer layer to the shadow, and then the light rolled out from the interior of Yuncheng, leaving a network of trails on the wide and tumbling thick surface.

At that moment, Benny really thought he had seen Barontra......

"My teacher told me that the space has changed very strangely these days, allowing me to observe more and even relax my lessons because of it. ”

Raising her eyes to look at the magnificent but extremely unnatural celestial phenomena in the distance, Her Royal Highness spoke softly, muttering as if to herself, not caring whether she could be understood: "Actually, I know, he just doesn't want me to know about it, hehehe, in fact, the teacher is really not very good at lying, if I go and beg him for help now, he will be very embarrassed, right?" But I really don't seem to have any way but him, and I can't touch anyone I know, and that damn bad old man is really ......."

"But speaking of spatial changes, I heard that when he left, the scene was much more terrifying than this, and the entire city was covered in spatial distortions, almost shaking the structure of Romante's magical defenses. I don't know what that would look like, but unless the storm is ten times bigger. Otherwise, it probably can't be that he came back, right?"

"Well, when are you going to be back? You know? Father didn't want me to do anything. It's just that I'm here, and it's unpleasant...... Oh, I should say, that damn stubborn old bullhead! I thought bringing a magician to the tribe would make a good life for everyone, but...... He really just wants himself to be King of Krurod forever!"

"Bring in mages and apprentices, build a magic tower under the Golden Horde's court, no. Even if it's just a real room, it will definitely give the herding people a better life, but my idea is too simplistic after all. From the point of view of those who are in charge of the grant, the Khan King, who wields real power and wealth, is in any case more attractive than me, a princess who is already only famous but has no real power, and cannot even reveal her identity publicly...... And the old guy. It's impossible to let such a rare combat power be in the hands of a daughter...... So. You see, there are a lot fewer people around me unconsciously...... And yes, you know what, because you're a guy...... I've been delayed for months...... You damn little bastard, I'm in a very awkward position right now, I can't even give that little guy an identity, you know, you bastard's ungrateful ......"

"Princess, princess, what's wrong with you?"

The shepherd boy, who had just recovered from the terrible thunderclouds in the sky, was stunned again. I looked at the corners of Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes with two lines of tears slipping down, and for a moment I suddenly felt that the world was spinning - as if I had seen a dark cloud that stretched half of the sky again. And the thunder and fire that lit up the entire mountaintop.

He has seen many people cry because of his sister who was naughty and beaten by his mother, his mother who was beaten by his drunken father, and even his drunk father himself...... But this is the first time that the person in front of him has seen her tears.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness...... Someone bullied you? Is it the bald man? I, I, I, I'm going to twist his head!" A hot breath surging from somewhere, constantly burning the boy's chest, made him suddenly roar loudly, and the most fierce threatening words he had ever heard his father would only use when he was drunk blurted out!

"I just remembered something. ”

The child's low roar made the girl startled, and she reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, she finally regained her spirit and smiled: "Hehe, little fool, you can't even deal with a calf, what do you say to twist other people's heads? Are you dozing off and dreaming again? Okay, I'm fine, and the one who dares to bully me, even if you really grow up and become a great samurai, you can't beat him...... Even a hundred, a thousand samurai can't beat him. ”

"Liar, how can there be a thousand samurai on this grassland who can't beat it?"

"Look, isn't it Barontra?"

"I ...... In a few years, I will definitely be able to defeat it, I will be the greatest warrior in the tribe, I can defeat anything! I will fight for you, Your Highness the Princess! I ......"

"I'm sorry, little Benny, I can't make your life any better...... Well, go back with your flock, the rain may be coming. ”

Krurod's boy was half-leaning on his back, showing that he was working hard, but in fact, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his life at all. Although he is just an inferior shepherd, he is also a direct descendant of the Great Khan, and belongs to the herdsmen of the Golden Horde, so that his sheep can enjoy the rich water and grass of the royal pasture, even if it is enough for the sheep to eat fat and strong, and those unlucky shepherds with mixed surnames can only look for that poor shelter in the pasture outside the Dragon Crocodile Valley, maybe how to starve to survive the next half a year of winter, maybe the whole family will die in this winter。

Krurod, the sacred place, where only the strong can survive, the warriors do not shy away from the existence of death, but use it as a process of selection. So even though Benny was only in his early teens, he had seen this kind of thing last year...... Like his fathers, he thought it was not strange that those who were not able to protect themselves and their herds were nothing more than losers, and that those who succeeded or, if they failed, should die.

Therefore, he didn't understand what this princess wanted to say to him.

There was no chance to figure it out, because Her Royal Highness had already waved the cane in her hand at this time, and then disappeared into a circular light and shadow, leaving only the young man himself to look at the fading luster, feeling the slight residual wetness and warmth on his forehead, and a slight fragrance.

It wasn't until a hint of rain in the sky hit his cheeks that he finally woke up from his stupor, and hurried to the direction of his house with the sheep that were almost about to run away.

"Good smell ......"

Driving the sheep back to the sheepfold, the boy tiredly burrowed into the felt bag, only to find his mother boiling a large pot of thick milk: "What is this...... Who's got another child in the house?"

"Silly Azi, it's the Great Khan who is going to marry his daughter!" (To be continued......)
