Chapter 185: Jiang Lu is isolated
The ghost-faced fox was shocked for a moment.
Cú Chulainn, of course, had heard of a very complex hero in Celtic mythology.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is that he fought for Ulster, and Ulster is where this mission will take place.
In other words, at least for now, they should be on Cúchulainn's side.
Thinking of this, the ghost-faced fox immediately gave Jiang Lu a look.
The latter immediately understood Ghost-Faced Fox's intentions.
Putting down the harp in his hand, Jiang Lu raised his middle finger: "What Cúchulainn?" I haven't heard of it! ”
"Huh?" The ghost-faced fox was stunned.
I didn't expect that there were still people in this world who didn't know him, Cúchulainn, who was stunned for a while, and then let out a weird laugh: "Hehehehaha."
Soon, his body began to become deformed, one eye was sunken, the other was unusually protruding, and then he opened his bloody mouth, and his mouth grinned to the root of the ear, and his head became unusually large, with a strange light, creepy, and his hair stood tall and hard as a pig's bristles.
"God of War posture! This is the god of war posture of the Ulster Supreme Warrior! ”
"Master Cúchulainn!!"
Behind him the Ulster warriors cheered excitedly.
It can be seen that this is not the first time that Cúchulainn has become like this, and his appearance, in the perception of the Ulsters, seems to be a symbol of strength and invincibility, full of glory and worship.
Cú Chulainn pulled out the Gabor spear that was inserted into the earth, pointed it at Jiang Lu, and roared a little madly: "Bard, are you ready to play for your own death?" ”
Jiang Lu's face sank: "I said I can't play the piano!" If you must challenge me to play a piece of music for my death, you must first find me a harpist to play the harp! ”
"Huh?" The heavy artillery that was clutching the two-handed axe was smoking.
He didn't feel like a normal person could say it.
And the ghost-faced fox also recalled the horror of being dominated by Jiang Law in the confrontation spirit realm.
You said you didn't understand what I meant, why did you give me a knowing look?
But Jiang Lu can go crazy, but he can't go crazy, he is still trying to make up for it, trying to explain that this is a misunderstanding.
"Listen to me, it's a misunderstanding, we're also Ulsters, we have no ill will!"
But Cú Chulainn, who had already fallen into a state of madness, couldn't listen to anything now, or he didn't have any extra reason to think, and he only had Jiang Lu in his eyes now.
As Ulster's most powerful warrior, he could only understand that Jiang Lu was challenging him.
And his pride makes him never afraid of all challenges.
"Good! Come back to Ulster with me now, and I'll find you the best harp teacher, and when you've learned it, I'll send you to the world myself!" ”
Jiang Lu nodded: "Very good, then I will identify with your warrior soul!" ”
For a while, there was an eerie dead silence in the field.
So that means not fighting?
Cúchulainn didn't talk nonsense either, put the Gabor spear behind his back, turned around and left.
The warriors behind him subconsciously retreated to the sides and made way for him.
Jiang Lu and the three exchanged glances, and then followed.
Vigilant, puzzled, surprised, indifferent.
All kinds of eyes surrounded the three of them, and they couldn't see the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery uncomfortable, but Jiang Lu didn't seem to be affected at all, and even called two warriors who seemed to be very good at talking to help him carry the harp.
Somehow, the three of them followed Cú Chulainn's army on their way back to Ulster.
In order to prevent them from escaping, or doing something out of the ordinary, the warriors deliberately sandwiched the three of them in the middle of the army.
Looking at the back of Kuchula's majestic shore in front of him, the ghost-faced fox wanted to strangle Jiang Lu's heart.
"You said you had nothing to do to provoke him?" He muttered quietly.
"Haha." Jiang Lu said embarrassedly: "I thought you meant to provoke him and make him show his flaws."
"I didn't see the flaws, I only saw him in that state, and I didn't have anything to do with him." The heavy artillery had a solemn expression: "I guess he is the legendary warrior mentioned in the background, and I can't reach it yet." ”
"Tsk, isn't this the usual routine of the soul system? It's a real headache to get a big boss that can't be defeated as soon as you come up. Jiang Lu shook his head.
"Do you still have a headache?" Ghost-faced Fox couldn't help but complain: "Our mission location was originally Ulster, and it was supposed to be a good conversation, he could have become our unimpeded pass in Ulster, but now it's okay, it can't end." ”
Jiang Lu shrugged: "It can only be said that our cooperation is not very ideal." ”
"Alas, now I can only take one step at a time."
The heavy artillery and the ghost-faced fox didn't complain too much, after all, everything was unknown in the situation just now, and it was really difficult to achieve the ideal situation with hindsight in one step.
That is, the ghost-faced fox has a family history, and he understands a lot of things, and he can judge the situation from just a few words.
Jiang Lu, who doesn't have the slightest understanding of the characters and history below the gods, doesn't say that the heavy artillery is actually born poor, and he relies on his hands to work all the way, and this knowledge is actually something from another world for him, so his first reaction is also to regard Cúchulin as an enemy and prepare to fight to the end.
However, the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery really admired Jiang Lu's psychological quality, and they all came to this point, and he still looked like he didn't care.
Out of the trust established by the previous cooperation, they were gradually infected by his optimism, believing that Jiang Lu might have something to do, so they no longer bothered about anything.
Although there was a mistake in the previous cooperation, the two of them were not wrong about this.
Their skills are equivalent to being sealed, yes, but Jiang Lu's usual skills and items, which are all myths and mythical qualities, are almost all brought in smoothly, and they can't play the piano, but they can open the door and close the small black room when they have to.
No matter how legendary a warrior is, can he still withstand the torture that his own doppelganger can't withstand?
Just when Jiang Lu cleared his mind and enjoyed the scenery of Ireland along the way, Cúchulainn, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped, and as soon as he heard it, the neat pace and footsteps of the army also disappeared in an instant, and it could be seen that under his leadership, the military discipline of this army was very strict.
He turned to face the three.
At this time, his god of war posture had disappeared, and his appearance had returned to his original appearance.
He looked at Ghostface, "You say you're from Ulster?" ”
"Isn't your reflex arc a little long," Jiang Lu whispered to Lai Lai.
The ghost-faced fox stopped him and said to Cúchulainn with a serious face: "Yes, we are all from Ulster. ”
Cú Chulainn's face was skeptical: "How is it possible that someone in Ulster has not heard of my name?" ”
"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it."
Ghost-faced Fox immediately smiled kindly: "The great god of light, Ruger, and the son of Princess Dictel of Ulster, Cú Chulainn, the son of light. ”
"Oh? Looks like you've heard of me. Cú Chulainn nodded in satisfaction.
The two who were talking didn't notice that Jiang Lu's face had changed.
The heavy artillery happened to notice this and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong?" ”
Jiang Lu replied with some disbelief: "Is this the Celtic mythology?" If it were in Greek mythology, the children of man and God could be heroes, and if they were not in Greek mythology, they would be discriminated against."
"Greece stinks so badly."
"Mainly, their main god stinks a little."
The whispering of the two was not heard by anyone else, except for Ghostface Fox, who stood between them and had to be forced to accept the spam.
This also made his expression a little unnatural, and the thoughts in his head were a little disrupted.
"Then why haven't two of your companions heard my name, and the bard who doesn't know how to live or die even challenges me?"
In the face of Cú Chulainn's arrogant questioning, Ghostface Fox patiently said, "This is because both of my companions know very little about the outside world.
This warrior has been honing his skills hard since he was a child, and almost never takes a step out of the monastery.
The other, the bard who offended you, has traveled extensively since he was a child, learning about the local customs and customs, and only recently returned to his hometown to reunite with us. ”
Cú Chulaline pondered, nodding slowly at the heavy artillery.
For the heavy artillery, he agreed, because as soon as he struck, he shattered his spear, although it was because it was just an ordinary spear, and he did it under his own light enemy, but this was enough to prove his strength.
Such a strong man is rare in the mysterious place where he learned art.
He has always been willing to respect the strong.
And this is still a master double axe warrior who has never heard of before, if it is really an Ulster person, then it will undoubtedly be a blessing for Ulster.
But look at this bard.
Cú Chulainn frowned: "A troubadour who travels far and wide, but he can't even use the instrument he brings?" ”
"Huh." Jiang Lu smiled disdainfully: "Can't singers fake sing?" ”
"So you're just a liar, aren't you?"
"You don't know bards at all! The bard is all about bringing joy to people, bastard! ”
Jiang Lu directly began to recite the Bible:
"It's not all lip-synching", "It's padding, not lip-syncing", "Great, don't grab tickets with me next time", "Feel the live atmosphere", "It's enough to see him", "It's enough for me to know that I was really happy at the time", "I spend money and I'm willing to listen to lip-to-dance", "Why is someone so energetic without spending a penny".
The anti-intellectual remarks made the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery frown, let alone Cúchulainn, who couldn't rub sand in his eyes.
He immediately said: "I recognize your two companions, they have just shown me their strength, but you are the only one, you are nothing but a despicable thief, and my agreement with you will not be changed!" ”
With that, Cú Chulainn angrily turned around and continued towards Ulster.
The soldiers around Jiang Lu cast disdainful glances at him one after another.
And the ghost-faced fox and heavy artillery, which were approved by Cúchulainn, were given preferential treatment instead.
There were even fighters who took the initiative to talk to the heavy artillery, wanting to test the weight of his two-handed axes.
Jiang Lu seemed to be isolated
After the heavy artillery of "you" dealt with the soldiers, he looked at Jiang Lu who was left out with some concern.
"It's okay." Jiang Lu waved his hand and behaved very freely: "This is part of my plan, with me as a comparison, I believe it will be easier for you to get Cú Chulainn's appreciation, everything is for the task." ”
Hearing this, the ghost-faced fox was a little surprised, he opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, a thousand words, and finally turned into body language, and gently patted Jiang Lu's shoulder.
Jiang Bao, why do you have to do this, we are a team! The risk should be borne by us, so why should we always carry it alone?
The ghost-faced fox even forgot that this so-called risk was actually brought by Jiang Lu, and for a while, he felt a little guilty.
And Jiang Lu just silently stared at Cu Chulainn's back, thinking back to his appearance in the posture of the god of war just now, thoughtfully.
The scorching sun was almost setting directly above, and the last of the red glow stained the blue sky.
After walking for a long time, the army finally returned to Ulster.
Ulster is located on the northeastern coast of Ireland, adjacent to Great Britain, with two continents across the sea.
Due to the geographical location, the temperature difference between day and night here is extremely large, and as soon as the sun sets, the air is soaked in the cold sea breeze, and Jiang Lu, who is only wearing a white robe, can't help but shiver.
He finally understood why the soldiers here were wearing fur armor, and the military coat was indeed warm to look at.
With Cúchulainn in the lead, the army was unimpeded all the way.
Take to the streets of Ulster, full of taverns and blacksmith shops.
There are many taverns because of the fierce folk of Ulster and the need for spirits to keep warm, and there are many blacksmith shops because Ulster was at war with the western country of Connaught, and there was a great demand for weapons and armor, so many workshops were temporarily converted into blacksmith shops.
As soon as they entered the city, Cú Chulainn's army was disbanded and returned to their respective homes.
"Don't they have to go back to the barracks?" Ghostface asked curiously.
"They are not soldiers." Cúchulainn replied: "They are my admirers, who have come to me in Alster from all over the world, and who are loyal to me, who are my followers, and who are not under the control of the king. ”
"I see." Ghostface nodded.
Cú Chulainn asked, "Where is your home?" ”
Ghost-faced Fox had already prepared: "We don't live in the capital, we are from a tribe on the outskirts of Ulster. ”
"In that case, then come with me to the tavern for a few drinks, and then I'll settle you down."
Cú Chulainn is bold and authentic.
"That's for the best, of course." The ghost-faced fox nodded, and then pointed at Jiang Lu with an embarrassed face: "But this companion of mine is he"
Cú Chulainn's face turned cold, but he still said, "Let's go together." ”
It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with Jiang Lu, but he has a good impression of the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery, after all, the druids and warriors are very popular everywhere, especially such powerful druids and warriors.
As for his attitude, Jiang Lu didn't care very much.
Because he's not in a hurry.
The ability given to him by the bard will not change, as long as he learns to play the piano, he is not afraid of the time when he does not turn over.
And now he still needs to know a lot about the curse and Ulster, as long as Ghostface can get what he needs from him, it doesn't matter if he puts up with it.
What men think of themselves, Jiang Lu never cares!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu followed behind them disappreciatively, carrying the harp and raising his head proudly.
"It's the tavern I frequent, I."
Cú Chulainn was introducing the ghost-faced fox and heavy artillery he approved when he suddenly heard a female voice shouting, "Setant! Do you still know to come back?! ”
Jiang Lu followed the sound and saw a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman sitting in the carriage outside the tavern in front of her, glaring angrily at Cú Chulainn.
And seeing this woman, Cú Chulainn's expression suddenly became unnatural.
He choked his neck and said to the woman with some embarrassment: "Mother, how many times have I said it, my name is not Setante now, my name is Cú Chulainn!" ”
"Mother?"
Ghostface Fox and Heavy Artillery were taken aback.
Such a burly Cúchulainn, his mother is so petite, and she is so young and beautiful?
Jiang Lu was also staring.
Oh?
I think my aunt is still charming.
