The Messiah walked into his tent, and in the darkness, a pair of gentle arms came up from behind her, gently hooking her neck.
"Micro. "The soft voice, with the hot air spraying on the ears, is a little itchy.
Messiah sighed, pulled Lan Lan behind him with his backhand, gently hugged her waist, and whispered, "Waiting for me?"
"Hmm. β
Although it was pitch black in the tent, the Messiah with extraordinary strength could still see the complicated expression on Lan Lan's face, she saw a faint worry in Lan Lan's eyes, and after a little thought in her heart, she understood the other party's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "You...... Worried about that guy?"
"I ...... I'm sorry for him after all. Lan Lan's eyes were a little red, and then he bit his lip hard: "I'm sorry for you too." β
Messiah was silent for a while, holding Lan Lan's hand and gently letting go, just in the dark, looking into the other party's eyes, and then sighed softly: "Why do you torture yourself so much? Speaking of which, I am sorry for you." If I hadn't given in, you wouldn't have ......."
Lan Lan smiled reluctantly and shook her head: "There is no need to talk about the things of the past." You're going to look for him again tonight......"
"Well, just a casual conversation. The Messiah sat down slowly, hung his head for a moment, and said, "When you knew him before, did you ever hear him talk about his homeland?"
"Nope. Lan Lan shook her head: "I always thought he was from Roland." β
"I remember you saying that when you first met him, he was wearing a piece of armor with my tulip family crest?"
"It's just a shoddy piece of goods, and an ordinary sword can be broken with a single stab. Lan Lan shook her head and said, "I think it's also an inferior product that he accidentally bought." β
The Messiah said "um", but did not comment.
"You gave him a magic test crystal ball yesterday and he ...... Is there any magical potential?"
Messiah glanced sideways at Lan Lan, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You care about him very much." β
"......" Lan Lan pursed her lips and trembled.
"Alright. The Messiah's heart softened, and he said softly, "I said it wrong, don't take it to heart." β
She reached out, gently grabbed Lan Lan's palm, and said in a low voice, "He told me that he didn't get any results, and I don't think he looked like he was lying...... But why do I always feel that this thing is not so simple? This guy looks ordinary, and he doesn't have anything outstanding at all, but sometimes, I feel like I can't see through him. He...... I told a joke before, but it was ridiculous enough, but ......"
"But what?"
The Messiah frowned, shook his head, and said, "Nothing. β
She suddenly shook her fingers, and the magic ring on her fingertips flashed with a glimmer of light, and a short sword appeared in her palm.
With the dim light on the ring, the blade of the sword flickered with cold light, looking extraordinary.
Messiah stared at the short sword in his hand, and with his other hand let go of Lan Lan's palm, his fingertips rubbed lightly on the blade, and said in a low voice: "This sword was bought by Ge Yan from him, but I have never seen this steel pattern and quenching marks! β
Her eyes gradually revealed a hint of sharpness, and she said in a low voice: "If this sword is brought from his homeland, then the metallurgical forging skills of his homeland are really much higher than those of my Roland Continent! If he is right, his homeland has such a strong skill, and it is as strong as he said...... If there is such a powerful country overseas, he can come across the sea, so his homeland can naturally do the same......"
The Messiah took a deep breath: "There is such a powerful country overseas, neither friend nor foe, how can I rest assured?"
Lan Lan looked at the Messiah's eyes, sighed faintly, and said slowly: "Didn't he say it, the overseas homeland is thousands of miles away, the sea route is different, he also floated on the vast sea for the last month, and experienced a shipwreck, and unintentionally came to Roland." β
"I hope so. Messiah smiled, she flicked the blade of the sword, and with a buzz, there was a tremor on the blade, and the Messiah squinted his eyes, carefully feeling the coldness of the material on the sword, and then suddenly turned his wrist and put the short sword into the ring. She looked at the Messiah, "He gave you such a sword, didn't he?"
Lan Lan's heart tightened, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Not bad." Then she said, "I didn't take out the things he gave me, are you blaming me?"
"Hey. The Messiah smiled bitterly, "How could I be so careful, I just want to say...... The value of this sword...... He's really nice to you. β
"No matter how good it is. Lan Lan shook her head: "I'm sorry for him, it chills his heart." Moreover...... I didn't have ...... either."
The Messiah was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "By the way, I remember that the idol he asked you to worship, I remember that you have one in your baggage, right?"
Lan Lan was stunned for a moment, looked at the Messiah, and sure enough, he turned around and took out a rolled-up statue of Guan Yu from his baggage.
The Messiah took the scrolled image and slowly unfolded it.
This woman is indeed very smart, but she pinched the paper of the idol with her fingers, pinched it carefully, folded it gently, felt the material of the paper, and said in a low voice: "This paper is also strange, and the thickness and toughness of this kind of paper are not something that ordinary workshops can make." β
Immediately, the Messiah slowly unfolded the idol of Guan Yu.
The ring on her finger glowed brightly.
Under this light, the statue of Guan Gong on the scroll is delicately revealed.
The extraordinary military commander is in the shape of a green scarf, his face is like a heavy jujube, majestic and murderous, he is dressed in gold armor, he is magnificent, and he is holding a long knife carved with an oriental coiling dragon in his hand! Around the statue, the clouds and mist are drawn.
A few Chinese characters directly above: Guan Di Shengjun!
"Emperor Guan Shengjun. The Messiah slowly pronounced these four words in Chinese, and then suddenly remembered the story of the second brother Guan that Darling told him tonight.
What is it to send a sister-in-law for thousands of miles, pass five levels and kill six generals......
Messiah suddenly burst into amusement and sighed softly: "What a slippery and cunning boy, do you think I really don't know who this Guan Yu is? My ancestors once wrote the story of the Three Kingdoms, and when I was a child, my father even told me about the Three Heroes and Lu Bu! This guy is very slippery!"
Well, but the phrase "so cute", my father never said it to himself. I don't know if it's true or not, but when I go back, I'll have to flip through the ancestors' notes to see if there is any of them.
......
Where did Chen Daolin know that the legendary story of his second brother Guan had already been discovered, and after the Messiah returned, he was about to rest, and Barossa beside him had already leaned over.
"Darling. The elf girl looked at Chen Daolin curiously.
"Huh?"
"You ......" Barossa hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Is what you said to her true?"
"What?
Barossa smiled, although she was naΓ―ve, but fortunately she knew Chen Daolin's temperament, pursed her lips and shook her head: "Although I don't know, but in this matter, most of you are playing with her." β
"Huh, how do you know?"
Barossa looked at Chen Daolin's eyes, but her face was red: "You are a ...... The most inconsequential, every time you lie to people and talk nonsense, you have a habit that your eyes will involuntarily look down. β
Chen Daolin's face froze, and he smiled bitterly: "Can you see through this? It seems that I won't be able to lie to you in the future." β
Barossa smiled softly, then looked left and right, and lowered her voice, "You...... What she said seems to be true or false? The test of that magical talent crystal ball......"
"What do you say?" Chen Daolin smiled.
"I mean, you must be lying. Barossa frowned, "You clearly didn't fall asleep that night, you must have seen something." β
The elf girl thought for a moment: "However, I don't believe what you said you saw, the sea, the volcano and the tsunami...... If you have that kind of ability, you will be chased and killed like a puppy. As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Daolin lightly: "What did you see?"
Chen Daolin shrugged his shoulders: "You really want to know?"
"I want to know. Barossa's face was full of curiosity.
Chen Daolin smiled a little strangely, and leaned his face over: "Barossa, if you kiss me, I'll tell you, how about it?"
Barossa's face turned crimson, looking at Chen Daolin's cheeks, but the elf suddenly closed his eyes, leaned over, and quickly scratched Chen Daolin's cheek, and then retracted.
Chen Daolin only felt an itch on his face, looking at the elf girl's face flushed, that cute little appearance, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and wanted to go over again.
Barossa, however, had a tender face, snorted, stepped back, and whispered, "You...... Don't ......."
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart, he knew that although this elf girl loved herself in her heart, the elf was conservative by nature, and she wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but she was afraid that she would have to be a little patient.
"You...... I've kissed you, tell me quickly, what did you see?"
Chen Daolin touched his cheek and laughed in a low voice: "I saw ......"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and lightly drew a pattern on the ground.
Barossa was dumbfounded, her eyes blank: "Huh...... What, what is this?"
Chen Daolin had already quickly erased the pattern with one hand, and smiled faintly: "You can't understand it yourself, but you can't blame me for not telling you." β
......
............
The next day, the team set off, and Chen Daolin and Barossa still followed behind.
With the tulip family's team in front of the road, the road was extremely smooth.
The tulip family's caravan traveled through the frozen forest all year round, and the road was very familiar, all the way to the south. I walked for more than ten days unconsciously, and I had already moved away from Dayuan Lake.
As you go further south, the dense woods become more and more open, and the woods become more and more thin, and you will even occasionally walk through an open area.
These days, when the night is resting, the Messiah will come to Chen Daolin's fire every once in a while to talk to him.
The topics of conversation between the two gradually became mixed, the sea and the sky astronomy and geography, this Messiah is indeed worthy of being the heir of the Tulip family, obviously a family origin, and various elite education received since childhood. Whether it is astronomy, geography, politics, religion, all kinds of topics are at your fingertips, and you are extremely knowledgeable.
As for Chen Daolin, he can be regarded as a serious university graduate, and his academic performance is not bad (otherwise he would not have the ability to stay in school.) And an otaku like him, who usually stays at home, likes to read all kinds of messy knowledge on the Internet, and when it comes to the groceries in his stomach, he may not be less than the little duke of the tulip family
Every time the two of them chat, they can talk until the second half of the night, and even occasionally talk about a certain topic, and there will be arguments.
Messiah and Chen Daolin talked about the founding history of the Roland Empire, and how the founding Emperor Aragon swallowed mountains and rivers and built the first imperial capital on the mainland. Chen Daolin told her that Qin Shi Huang ruled the world and swept the six countries. Build a palace and build the Great Wall.
Messiah and Chen Daolin talked about how the Temple of Light Church of the Roland Empire was prosperous and how it suppressed the imperial power, and the Pope could make the emperor submit to it with a single order. Chen Daolin and the Messiah said that during the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages in Europe, the pope could depose the king at will, and so on.
Messiah and Chen Daolin talked about the decline of the Roland Empire hundreds of years ago, and the empire almost collapsed, but fortunately, a generation of famous generals, Count Rollin, was the pillar of the empire, leading the army to sweep the world, sweeping the world and the rebels to dominate the rivers and mountains.
Chen Daolin and Messiah talked about Yue Wumu in ancient China, Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the Yellow Dragon, and finally died unjustly and left a name in history.
Messiah: In ancient times, there was a famous scholar in the Rowland Empire, and among the students he taught, there were three prime ministers, two governors, and one general. β
Chen Daolin: Count Mao! In my homeland, Confucius took hundreds of disciples to travel around the world in the past, and the scholars of the later generations for thousands of years were all his disciples.
Messiah: I have a great poet and a great writer who has left a name in the history books of the Roland Empire, a bard who has left a brilliant chapter, and the epic classics have been passed down for thousands of years!
Chen Daolin: Count Mao! Don't you hear the chapter of the Book of Poetry Yasong Yuefu, I don't say that the poetry is a poet and a poet, when will the bright moon ask the sky about the wine, and you Roland's poets will burst out.
Messiah: I Roland have great singers, singing arias and beautiful tunes, singing praises to the sun and singing praises to the moonlight.
Chen Daolin: Count Mao! My homeland has countless kinds of music styles, to be noble and noble, to be cold and glamorous, to have a national style, and to have a strong wind and a strong wind to blow ice cream and tears!
The two of them went down all the way, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
What surprised the Messiah even more was that this seemingly mediocre Chen Daolin actually had a lot of ink in his stomach and a valley in his chest! No matter what astronomical, geographical, political and philosophical he talked to, the other party always had to say and answer, although everyone often had different opinions, but the Messiah had to admit that even if this guy said some strange theories that surprised him, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have some strange truths.
Just talking about the other party's knowledge, but he is a rare erudite person in his own life!(Messiah doesn't know that the biggest characteristic of an otaku like Chen Daolin is: all kinds of knowledge in a mess are actually up to the point, and all kinds of things have been learned, but everything is sparse.) When talking about the world, it is true that he is the Tao, but in fact, he is not proficient in any of them. To put it simply, I know a little bit about this and a little bit about that, but in fact, everything is really learned. οΌ
For more than ten days, the Messiah himself never realized that the time he spent chatting with Chen Daolin every day was getting longer and longer, and sometimes, he even said dawn unconsciously!
In her heart, she couldn't help but have a strange feeling.
This seemingly mediocre, sometimes a little cunning fellow is actually the most speculative and pleasant object of conversation he has ever met in his life! The people he has known in his life, whether they are friends or foes, have never had such a knowledgeable Cheng dΓΉ to accompany him to talk about so many miscellaneous studies of the sea and the sky.
This man......
This man......
This person can be called the only confidant he has seen in his life!!
This feeling startled the Messiah himself.
Bosom friend?!
The word frightened the Messiah himself.
She was born in the Tulip family, the first wealthy family in the empire, and was trained as the future heir of the family since she was a child. But in fact, the Messiah was very proud in her bones, and this pride was something in her bones based on her own knowledge!
The people she has met in her life, especially those of her age, have no opponent who can compete with her in knowledge, or even ...... Not many people even have the qualifications to be friends with themselves!
With her messianic vision, there are very few people who can look at it, even in a place like the imperial capital, where there are many wealthy families and countless young talents, few people can be seen by the proud messian.
Not to mention being a friend or an enemy, I don't even have the qualifications to sit down with her and talk about it.
But...... Bosom friend...... Chen Daolin?
There are so many young talents and talented women in the imperial capital...... I can't even see it in my eyes, and I don't care about it.
But this cheesy Chen Daolin can impress himself intellectually?
Speaking of astronomy, he knew the stars, the sun and the moon, as well as the theory of what constellations, and he was shocked by what he said.
Speaking of geography, he knew the mountains, rivers, and the differences between plateau and basins, and even when he asked about water conservancy, he could also name theories such as dredging dams and so on.
Speaking of philosophy, this guy can clearly distinguish the cognition of all things in the world into two kinds: "materialism" and "idealism", what phenomenon to essence, what superhumanism, what human nature, and what self and ego and so on, which makes him even more amazed!
Speaking of art, this guy seems to be vulgar, but he can talk about the contrast between the hazy beauty of painting techniques and the beauty of realism, the gap between abstraction and reality.
Speaking of music, this guy surprised himself even more, he casually sang a few songs that were said to be the music style of his homeland, and he amazed himself. And this guy actually knows music theory, and he casually wrote down that strange symbol, which is said to be a notation of what kind of musical notation...... This is even more impressive.
Speaking of political theories, this guy talks about the so-called imperial system, **, constitutional monarchy, democracy, classical democracy, and many other theories, but he has never even heard of it before!
Even...... The most surprising thing for the Messiah is that this guy even knows a little bit about military affairs!
You must know that your ancestor, Lord Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, was recognized as the number one legendary general on the mainland in the past!
When it comes to military strategy, who in the world does not recognize that the Tulip family is the first martial artist of the empire!
But this guy who seems to be industrious and can't even ride a horse actually said a strange strategy for building an army. What kind of military discipline and military strategy, what kind of centripetal force of the army, sense of honor, and the use of collectivity to erase individuality, etc.
Even when it comes to marching and fighting in battle, this guy can casually name a few strange examples of war that surprise him! Whether it is the set of 36 strategies he says, or the art of war of his homeland, those peculiar theories are indeed every word!
Such a strange person...... It was a real pleasure to chat with him!
Bosom friend...... Bosom friend......
Is it really a confidant?
"I must have been so tired lately, so my mind is a little unclear. β
The Messiah sighed.
...... "Nima's tulip chick is so tough!"
What the Messiah didn't know was that in order to cope with the Messiah's hot pursuit these days, Chen Daolin in order not to lose face, especially in front of his female rival, poor Darling Brother almost emptied all the years of accumulation in his stomach, and he had read countless miscellaneous books, miscellaneous novels, film and television history, books, wild history, etc., almost everything he knew was about to be hollowed out by this Messiah!
Chatting with this woman every day is like a war for Chen Daolin, and he has to fight with twelve points of spirit, no matter what tricky and weird topics the other party says, he has to rack his brains to think about it desperately, or simply find out more shocking topics from reality to smash back.
Where is this kind of chat, I didn't have such a sadistic heart when I wrote my graduation thesis!!
......
In the midst of such painful and happy days, after more than half a month, the team finally came to the end of the frozen forest!
To the south, the edge of the woods was in front of me, and the open field in front of it looked very desolate.
Chen Daolin had already known in his chat with the Messiah last night that this frozen forest was originally bigger and farther, but in the past hundred years, in order to get more land, the orcs have been encroaching on the woods, cutting down trees, and burning forests to level the land, just to get more and bigger land.
The elves originally only lived in the depths of the forest, so they did not stop the orcs from encroaching on the periphery of the frozen forest in time.
In a hundred years, the area of this frozen forest has been eaten away by the orc tribe for at least a hundred miles to the north.
A hundred miles of forest were flattened, and all the trees were cut down.
The team walked out of the frozen forest, and the surrounding environment changed, which finally made Chen Daolin a little curious.
I have been walking in the dense woods for a month, and every day I see verdant trees, dense thickets, and if I go on like this, no matter how beautiful the green scenery is, I will be bored.
Suddenly walking out of the forest, the open wilderness in front of him suddenly made Chen Daolin's heart feel refreshed!
The black earth beneath his feet was a little soft and muddy, as if it had just rained here two days ago.
Out of the forest, the deer summoned by Barossa was released, and Chen Daolin and the elf had to walk at the back of the group.
Fortunately, the land was muddy, and the convoy could not go fast, so the speed of walking slowed down.
The Messiah sent someone to discuss with Chen Daolin, and then the Messiah sent two horses, and Chen Daolin gave the person a few gold coins.
Although he is unwilling to take advantage of the other party, he spends money to buy her, and the price given should not be low, which is not owed to the other party.
Moreover...... Although Chen Daolin didn't want to admit it in his heart, Tong GuΓ² These days, the two of them have been "chatting" like a war every night, and they have been fighting and debating for more than ten days, even if they fight, they have made a little friendship.
Although this woman is a rival in love, she ...... She is indeed very powerful! Chen Daolin had to be convinced of this.
Barossa had already put on a thick robe, wrapped her wings in her clothes, and wore a cloak hat that obscured the elves' pointed ears.
Although Chen Daolin can't ride a horse, the horses of the Tulip family are very docile, as long as they sit on it and hold it firmly and don't fall off, that's it.
Out of the frozen forest, the wilderness was desolate all the way.
There wasn't even a road underfoot, but luckily there were tulips warriors in front of the team who were riding horses in front of them to find the way.
Above the wilderness, there is a vast expanse, and occasionally some hills break through in the distance, mostly short, and very desolate, with no vegetation.
Some of the land seemed to have been burned, and it was scorched black, which made Chen Daolin quite weird.
"Orcs are not good at farming. Except for the hoof, who know a little about farming, most of the other orcs can only herd and hunt. Things in the field are not up to them to do. Therefore, the orcs cultivated the land, and the grain production was very low. Barossa said: "There is also an ancient custom of the orc tribe, that is, after the soil has been cultivated excessively, in order to restore the power of the land, they will set fire to the field, and then leave it for a few years to restore the power of the field. I've heard that this is not appropriate, and the humans in the south have long since stopped doing so. It's just a human farming method, but these orcs can't learn it, and the strange fertilizer used by humans is never sold to orcs, so this orc can only keep plowing the land and then burn the field......"
Barossa pointed to the wilderness around her: "The land around here has been burned. I'm afraid that the nearby orcs have already moved to other fertile places, and it will be a few years before the land here recovers its strength, and then there will be orcs who move over to cultivate and live. β
"Good ignorant race. Chen Daolin pouted.
Finally, just as they walked out of the frozen forest, the team finally encountered the situation!
To the south, the Tulip Family's pathfinder galloped back on horseback, signaling to his companions to be vigilant.
The team immediately stopped, Geyan's majestic voice sounded, and immediately restrained his subordinates, one by one orders were issued, the carriages stopped and gathered together, and the escort warriors took out swords, bows and arrows, and even let people beat out a banner of the tulip caravan!
A moment later, a puff of dust suddenly rose from the direction of the south!
Immediately, I saw a black figure coming from the south, and when I got closer, I saw that it was a group of orc troops!
