Chapter 189: Conjecture and Great Gift

"This"

Heavy Artillery thought for a moment: "When you say that, it does feel a little weird. ”

"It's true that there is no need to use the army to protect you in Ulster." Ghostface Fox also felt that something was wrong: "If Dectel often leaves Ulster, it doesn't matter, the problem is that she never leaves the city, and even the mansion is near the palace, is he worried right under the nose of Concierber?" ”

"And Concierber said that he hadn't seen Dector once for a long time, and it took less than half an hour to get from the palace to Dectiel's mansion, and they were brothers and sisters, so they had to find a special reason to meet."

Jiang Lu felt more and more strange: "Unreasonable, too unreasonable." ”

There is no need for any reason for relatives to visit each other, let alone brothers and sisters, so it seems that there must be some kind of estrangement between the two.

Before the combination, Jiang Lu perceived that Dectiel's fear of Conchierber couldn't help but make people wonder if Conczyer had ever done anything unfavorable to Dectiel.

"Tell me about the mythological events that happened during this time." Jiang Lu said to the ghost-faced fox.

Ghost-faced Fox nodded: "If according to the mythology, the mother of Concierber and Dectel was the last queen, named Nessa, but their biological father was not a king, but a druid.

After the king's death, he was succeeded by his younger half-brother Fergus and married Queen Nesa on the condition that Concierge become the next king.

After that, Concierber developed a huge power in a very short period of time and was deeply loved by the people, but Fergus did not like to deal with government affairs and preferred pleasures, so he happily passed the throne to Concierber early.

As a result, after Concierber took office, he revealed his true nature and began to exercise tyranny, because he coveted the daughter of a small tribal leader, and killed not only the woman's husband, but even the son of Fergus later.

The woman's husband was also a friend of Fergus, so after hearing that his friend and son had been killed by Concierber, Fergus was either angry or frightened, and took hundreds of Ulster warriors to the kingdom of Connaught, which is now the kingdom of Maeve, who is now leading the attack on Ulster.

So it is difficult to say whether there will be a shadow of Fergus behind this coalition attack on Ulster.

As for Dectiel, after Concierber's accession to the throne, she was betrothed to a nobleman named Soulem by her biological father, the druid.

Legend has it that at the wedding feast, a mayfly stopped on Dectelle's glass, and Dectelle, who had not noticed, drank the wine and fell asleep.

In her dream, Ruger, the god of light, appears to her, tells her that the mayfly is him, and casts a spell to turn her and her maid into birds and fly away.

A few months later, several lost Ulster warriors met them in a mansion in the wilderness, and after Ruger identified himself, he entrusted Dectair and the newborn Cúchulainn to them to bring them back, and Sultame accepted Cúchulainn and raised him.

After this, Concierber also sent someone to find Ruger, but found nothing.

After that, there is the story of Cúchulainn's upbringing, like all mythical heroes, in short, from an early age, he was different from ordinary people, and he went through hardships to become the most powerful warrior in Ulster.

The mysterious place where Cú Chulainn mentioned before that he studied art is actually a place called the Land of Shadows, where it is rumored that there are gods, but only the chosen warriors have the opportunity to enter it, so what is the situation in the Land of Shadows, except for Cú Chulainn, who is silent about it, no one really knows.

And then now, Maeve heard that Ulster had a brown sacred cow and wanted to capture it, and then started a war, and Cúthalyn stepped forward to stop Maeve's Connaught army out of nowhere.

We should have appeared at the point in time of a battle that is not recorded in the myth, after all, the time span of the battle for the bull is too long, and there are countless battles during it, so I can't judge what time node it is. ”

The ghost-faced fox gushed about this myth, and when he finished speaking, he found that Jiang Lu and Heavy Artillery were both looking at him with adoration.

This made Ghostface feel a little unnatural.

"How. What's wrong? ”

"Nope." Jiang Lu said seriously: "I just feel that you are too awesome, and you belong to the living encyclopedia." ”

The heavy artillery also looked admiring: "Where did you see these things, do you remember them so completely?" ”

The ghost-faced fox smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I read a lot of books, and I can always know some niche things, don't you usually read books?" ”

Jiang Lu and Heavy Artillery glanced at each other, and then both shook their heads.

Heavy artillery does not have this condition, and Jiang Lu does not have this ability.

Heavy artillery does not make excuses for his lack of knowledge, but Jiang Lu has to conversely praise the name of the literati, so there is no culture to live in peace with the educated.

From this myth, Jiang Lu didn't hear any doubts.

The only thing that made him feel strange was that the spirit realm clearly displayed a time rate of 1:100, and according to previous experience, it was impossible for there to be gods in this world.

But if there are no gods, the Shadow Nation is not sure if there are gods or not, so which unit is this god of light, Luge?

Jiang Lu may not understand people, but he understands God very well.

There are only zero and countless times for this kind of thing, but except for the big job of coming down to Cúchulainn, there is no such person directly.

Although it is not ruled out that the God of Light is a ring brother, it is still a little too abnormal.

Because time has no meaning to God, no matter where you go or what you do, it is measured in decades or even hundreds of years.

If his purpose was only to give birth to Cú Chulainn, then his shadow should also appear in Cú Chulainn's upbringing.

But no, nothing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked, "Let's just say, Luge, the god of light, is it real?"

"Why do you ask?"

Ghostface Fox was a little strange, but replied anyway:

"If you say that anyone has seen it, it is, and the warriors who brought Cúchulainn and Dectel back, aren't they?

But if you want to say that there is tangible evidence, it is true.

But aren't all gods almost like this, everyone says they exist, and very few people say they have seen them, but there are very few who actually appear in front of the public. ”

"No problem." Jiang Lu pondered and nodded.

It can't be confirmed, but it can't be falsified either, the gods are such strange beings.

But if so, then the clue is broken again.

The only people who had experienced it, the warriors didn't know who it was, Sultame was dead, and Cúchulainn was just a baby, and Dectel kept it secret.

"So what exactly does the two have to do with each other?" The heavy artillery suddenly asked, "Aren't we here to investigate the curse?" If you want to find it, you should also be looking for information about the goddess Macha, why do you hold on to Luge? ”

"Because Cú Chulainn was not cursed, or the curse was not enough to affect him."

江律 says:

"I want to find out if it's like everyone says, because he is the son of the God of Light and has divinity, so he can break the curse."

"This can't be fake, right?" The heavy artillery is somewhat uncertain.

In his opinion, since there is a complete statement, and Cuchulainn really has no curse, there is nothing to doubt.

However, the ghost-faced fox understood what Jiang Lu meant, and said thoughtfully: "Not necessarily, have you heard of the Heavenly Monument, as well as the dream of killing the white snake, and the collection of books in the snake's belly?"

These rather mythical things are actually artificially used to build momentum, and they are all left over from our ancestors.

Jiang Bao's doubts are not unfounded, and the so-called Children of Light are just made up in order to put gold on Cúchulainn's face. ”

"Then how do you explain that he is not cursed?" Heavy artillery asked rhetorically.

"Maybe he was born with a natural birth of the Holy Communion, and it doesn't hurt to give birth, so it doesn't matter?" Jiang Lu came out of nowhere.

"Uh" heavy artillery waved his hand: "It's too avant-garde." ”

"But when I say that, I remember." Ghost-faced Fox suddenly spoke, recalling, "I remember yesterday Corncieb asked us where we were from, and I told him that there was an inaccessible village on the Ulster border, and he seemed very happy. ”

"Does it matter?" Jiang Lu asked.

"It's a big deal." Ghost-faced Fox explained, "Remember what Cú Chulainn said yesterday that all of his subordinates had heard his name from all over the world and came to join him? It was not under the jurisdiction of Ulster, but his private army. ”

"I remember." Jiang Lu nodded first, and then thought of something: "You are saying"

"Well, if they can go to the battlefield to fight against foreign enemies, it means that they are not cursed, so even if they fight for Ulster, as long as they don't have Ulster blood in their bodies, they will not be cursed."

Ghost-faced fox said with a serious face: "So, if the God of Light does not exist, it means that Cúchulainn does not have the Ulster bloodline. ”

"Hmm" Jiang Lu thought seriously for a moment, but still shook his head: "He must have Ulster blood." ”

"Why?"

"Dextell." Jiang Lu, as someone who had been in close contact with this Ulster princess, knew best what Cu Chulainn meant to her, and he must be his biological son.

And as long as the biological mother can be determined, then half of the Ulster bloodline of Cúchulainn cannot be changed.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if her biological son was dropped without her knowledge, what good is it to do so?

The princess's son doesn't have the right to succeed, right?

Jiang Lu was a little unsure.

It seems that it is not impossible to put it in this absurd world

"Dectiel. You can't be sure it's his biological mother. ”

After the ghost-faced fox finished speaking, he also felt that the current situation was a mess, how to think about it was wrong, and shook his legs a little irritably.

"If only there was a paternity test." Heavy Artillery sighed.

And just as there were more and more clues and possibilities, the three of them became more and more distressed, and the door of the guest room suddenly rang.

"Got up?" Cú Chulainn's bold voice pierced through the wooden door and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"What's the situation?" Jiang Lu asked in a low voice.

Heavy Artillery slapped his head: "Oh, he said he was going to take us to the palace luncheon today, I thought it was a joke to drink too much, but I didn't expect it to come." ”

"Luncheon?" Jiang Lu wondered: "Isn't it usually a dinner party?" ”

"Because Cú Chulainn is going to go on an expedition again in the afternoon, the banquet to wish him triumph is scheduled for noon, so don't talk nonsense for a while."

After the ghost-faced fox whispered, he answered the door: "Get up, come here." ”

So saying, he came to the door and opened it.

Cú Chulainn smiled and squeezed through the door that was a little narrow for him, and then the smile suddenly retracted.

"Why are you there?"

Jiang Lu Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "Isn't it normal for me to do so?" These are all my buddies. ”

"Vulgar." Cú Chulainn shook his head disdainfully, and then as if he remembered something, he suddenly smiled again: "By the way, did I tell you that I want to introduce you to a harp teacher, and come with us." ”

Jiang Lu slowly frowned.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

He always sensed that Cú Chulainn had some evil plan.

Normally, he should be wary and refuse directly.

However, Jiang Lu is not normal.

He also had a big smile on his face.

"Eh, what about this good thing? Our Treasure really does what he says, what a good boy~"

Now it was Cú Chulainn's turn to be confused.

Jiang Lu's tone made him get goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but take two steps back with some nervousness.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm just very happy, I feel like you're very filial." Jiang Lu threw a wink at him.

The ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery reacted, and their expressions became very strange.

Not only do you have to be a wild father behind your back, but you also have to take advantage of it in person, right?

Once again, they felt a shred of pity for Cúchulainn.

Poor child, still in the dark

Cu Chulainn did feel that Jiang Lu's performance was abnormal, but he didn't think of anything, he just felt that Jiang Lu was not in a normal brain.

It makes sense why he, as a bard, doesn't know how to play musical instruments.

However, as soon as he thought of the big gift prepared for Jiang Lu for a while, Cú Chulainn also chose not to care about it, and was full of heart to let this kid go to the palace with him quickly.

"Filial piety. Sick" he muttered softly, and then urged, "So whether to go or not?" ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Jiang Lu jumped up from the chair and asked Cú Chulainn, "Can you help me, my piano is too heavy, and it is inconvenient for me to hold it." ”

"Then why don't I help you hold the piano?" Cú Chulainn said with some impatience.

"Okay, okay, okay."

So Jiang Lu happily stuffed the harp into Cúchulainn's hand and followed Cúchulainn out the door.

The ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery glanced at each other, and they also followed helplessly.

Jiang Lu is a little cautious.

For he had returned from Dexter's mansion at the edge of the palace in the morning, so he knew where the palace was, and probably knew how to go.

So as soon as he got out of the tavern, he walked to the front without a trace.

From the perspective of passers-by, Jiang Lu became the leader, while Cú Chulainn, who was carrying things, was like a follower.

Passers-by who didn't know the great hero Cú Chulainn, so it was strange for a while, what kind of person was this leader, who could make the arrogant Cú Chulainn willing to become an attendant?

Before he arrived at the palace, Jiang Lu was very sturdy and refreshed in front of the people of Ulster.

Hero? I'm just a cow and a horse.

Soon, Cu Chulainn, who did not know that his reputation had been violated, led the three into the palace.

The ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery had already been here last night, and although they knew the palace well, they could also be said to be familiar with the road.

But Jiang Lu couldn't, and soon lost his way in the palace that was full of people because the banquet was approaching.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already been separated from his companions.

Just passing through a human wall, Cú Chulainn beside him became a palace guard he didn't know, and his own harp was also held in his arms, as if the people around Jiang Lu had always been him.

"I'm super, I've become a living person!"

Jiang Lu called it awesome.

The guard ignored Jiang Lu's strange words and said expressionlessly, "Lord Cúchulainn instructed me to lead the way for you. ”

"Huh? Didn't you go to a banquet? Jiang Lu asked strangely.

"It's still early for the banquet, and it's time to do it." The guard replied, then made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Lu understood, it was really not an illusion, this kid just wanted to fix himself.

However, the introduction of the harp master should not be a lie, and Cú Chulainn did not bother to make an off-the-beaten-the-way move.

Then the problem should be with this harp master.

"Do I need to give something of value?" Jiang Lu was shocked by his thoughts.

At this time, the guard saw that he had not moved, so he urged, "Please hurry up, Lord Addison does not like to wait." ”

"Huh? EDITION? Jiang Lu always felt that this name was a little familiar.

"Yes, Lord Addison is very hot-tempered, and if he gets angry for a while, even Master Cúchulainn will not be able to protect you." The guard coldly threatened.

"Oh." Jiang Lu suddenly became listless.

What's just a hot temper, I thought I was going to be like this.

At the same time, in the banquet hall, the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery were already in place, and Cú Chulainn was smiling and reassuring them:

"It's okay, I'm looking for the best harp master in Ulster, I'm just meeting today, and I'll be back in a while, don't you still believe me?"

At this point, Ghost-Faced Fox and Heavy Artillery had no choice but to nod: "Of course I believe you." ”

"Isn't that enough? There is still some time before the banquet, and there will be some performances before that, and in addition to that, it is also a time for the upper class to socialize. ”

Cú Chulainn smiled and said to the two:

"Now the big guys haven't arrived yet, and when they're all in place, I'll introduce you to them, so let's have a casual bite to eat and drink now."

Thinking about what happened to Jiang Lu now, Cú Chulainn only felt that this kind of banquet that he usually disdained to attend was interesting
