Chapter 190 Conjecture and Gift

"This"

Chongpao thought for a while: "When you say it like that, it does feel a bit strange."

"Indeed, it is completely unnecessary to use military protection in Ulster." The Ghost-Faced Fox also felt that something was wrong: "It would be fine if Dectel often left Ulster. The problem is that she never leaves the city, not even her mansion. It's also near the palace, right under Conchieber's nose. Should he worry too?"

"Furthermore, Conchiebo said that he hasn't seen Dectel once for a long time. It obviously takes less than half an hour to go from the palace to Dectel's mansion. Moreover, they are brothers and sisters. They want to You actually have to find a reason to meet me."

Jiang Lu felt even more strange: "It's unreasonable, it's so unreasonable."

There is no need for any reason for relatives to visit each other, let alone brothers and sisters. From this point of view, there must be some gap between the two.

Before the union, Jiang Lu noticed Dectel's fear of Conchi Erb, which makes people wonder whether Conchi Erb had ever done anything detrimental to Dectel.

"Tell me more about what happened during this period of time as recorded in the mythology." Jiang Lu said to the ghost-faced fox.

The ghost-faced fox nodded: "If it is according to the records in the myth, the mother of Conchieber and Dectel was the previous queen, named Nesa, but their biological father was not a king, but a druid. Yi.

In her dream, Luger, the god of light, appeared in front of her, told her that the mayfly just now was him, and cast a spell to turn her and her maid into birds and fly away.

Heavy Artillery also had a look of admiration on his face: "Where did you see these things? Do you still remember them so completely?"

But if there are no gods, the Kingdom of Shadows is not sure whether there are gods or not. Which unit does Luger, the God of Light, belong to?
Jiang Lu may not understand people, but he understands God very well.

A few months later, several lost Ulster warriors met them in a mansion in the wild. After Ruger revealed his identity, he entrusted Dectel and the newborn Cu Chulainn to them. After bringing the man back, Sultem accepted Cu Chulainn and raised him.

"If you're asking if anyone has seen it, then there are, aren't they the warriors who brought Cu Chulainn and Dectel back?

"Why do you ask?"

After that, Conchieber also sent people to look for Luger, but found nothing.

But aren’t all gods like this? Everyone says they exist, and a few people say they have seen them, but very few of them actually appear in front of the public. "

"What. What happened?"

"It's no problem." Jiang Lu pondered and nodded.

Then now, Maeve heard that there was a brown sacred cow in Ulster and wanted to seize it, and then launched a war. Cu Chulainn stepped forward and blocked Maeve's Connaught army mysteriously.

If his purpose was only to give birth to Cu Chulainn, then his shadow should also appear in Cu Chulainn's growth process.

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

This made the ghost-faced fox feel a little unnatural.

The mysterious place where Cu Chulainn mentioned before that he learned skills is actually a place called the Kingdom of Shadows. Legend has it that there are gods there, but only selected warriors have the opportunity to enter it. So what is the situation in the Kingdom of Shadows? , except for Cu Chulainn who kept silent about it, no one really knew.

There are only zero or countless times of collecting wind, but this forced person has never been found except for the big job of cleaning up Cu Chulainn.

But no, nothing.

"No." Jiang Lu said seriously: "I just feel that you are too awesome and you are a living encyclopedia."

Although the possibility that the God of Light is Brother Jie cannot be ruled out, it is still a bit too abnormal.

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

As for Dectel, after Conchieber came to the throne, she was betrothed to a noble named Sultem by her biological father, the druid.

We should have appeared at a certain time point of a battle that was not recorded in the mythology. After all, the time span of the battle for the cattle was too long, and there were countless battles during it, so I can't tell what time point it is now. "

After the king's death, his half-brother Fergus succeeded and married Queen Nessa on the condition that Conchieber be the next king.

The ghost-faced fox was a little strange, but still replied:

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

Heavy artillery did not make excuses for his lack of knowledge, but Jiang Lu also euphemistically said that literati looked down on each other, so the uneducated could live in peace with the literate.

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

Legend has it that at the wedding banquet, a mayfly landed on Decter's wine glass. Dectel drank the wine without noticing, and then fell asleep.

But if this is the case, then the clue is broken again.

Jiang Lu and Chongpao looked at each other, then shook their heads.

The ghost-faced fox kept telling this myth. When he finished speaking, he realized that Jiang Lu and Chongpao were looking at him with admiration.

The only thing that made him feel weird was that the spiritual realm clearly showed that the time rate was 1:100. According to previous experience, there could be no gods in this world.

What follows is the story of Cu Chulainn's growth. Like all heroes in mythology, he has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, went through hardships and then became the most powerful warrior in Ulster.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether there will be the shadow of Fergus behind this coalition attack on Ulster.

The ghost-faced fox smiled sheepishly: "Ah, if you read a lot of books, you can always know some niche things. Don't you usually read books?"

After that, Conchiebo developed a huge force in a very short period of time and was deeply loved by the people. However, Fergus, because he did not like to deal with government affairs and preferred pleasure, became happy early. He passed the throne to Conchieber.

But if you want to talk about tangible evidence, there really isn't any.

It cannot be confirmed, but it cannot be falsified either. God is such a strange existence.

The only person who had experienced it personally, those few warriors didn't know who they were. Sultem was dead, Cu Chulainn was still just a baby in swaddling clothes, and Dectel kept secret about it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked: "Let's just say, does Luge, the God of Light, really exist?"

This woman's husband was also a friend of Fergus, so after hearing that his friend and son had been killed by Conchieber, Fergus, perhaps angry or afraid, took hundreds of Als with him. The special warriors went to the Kingdom of Connaught, which was the kingdom of Maeve who was now leading the attack on Ulster.

"So what is the relationship between the two?" Heavy Artillery suddenly asked: "Aren't we here to find out about the curse? We should also be looking for information about the goddess Macha. Why are we holding on to Lu Ge?"

"Because Cu Chulainn is not cursed, or the curse is not enough to affect him."

Jiang Lu said:

"I want to find out whether, as everyone says, it is because he is the son of the God of Light and has divinity that he can break the curse."

"This can't be false, can it?" Heavy Artillery said with some uncertainty.

In his opinion, since there are complete explanations for everything, and Cu Chulainn really has no curse, there is nothing to doubt.

However, the ghost-faced fox understood what Jiang Lu meant, and said after careful consideration: "Not necessarily, have you ever heard of the Monument of Gods descending from the sky, the white snake beheaded in a dream, and the book hidden in the belly of the snake?

These mythical things are actually artificially used to build momentum, and they are all leftover from our ancestors' fun.

Jiang Bao's doubts were not without purpose. Maybe the so-called Son of Light was just a fabrication to put money on Cu Chulainn's face. "

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

"Perhaps he was born with the Holy Body and it doesn't hurt to give birth, so it won't affect him?" Jiang Lu said in a confused manner.

"Uh" Heavy Artillery waved his hand: "It's too avant-garde."

"But after saying this, I remembered it." Ghost Faced Fox suddenly spoke and recalled: "I remember that yesterday Conchieber specifically asked where we came from. At that time, I told him that we were on the Ulster border. He seemed happy to be in a deserted village.”

"What does it have to do with it?" Jiang Lu asked.

"The relationship is huge." Ghost Faced Fox explained: "Remember what Cu Chulainn said yesterday that his subordinates were all warriors who heard his name from various places and came to join him? No. It falls under the jurisdiction of Ulster, but is his private army.”

"Remember." Jiang Lu nodded first, and then thought of something: "You mean?"

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

The ghost-faced fox said seriously: "So, if the God of Light does not exist, it means that Cu Chulainn does not have Ulster blood."

"Well" Jiang Lu thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "He must have Ulster blood."

"why?"

"Dectel." Jiang Lu, as someone who has had close contact with the Ulster princess, knows best what Cu Chulainn means to her. She must be his biological son.

And as long as the biological mother can be determined, half of Cu Chulainn's Ulster bloodline cannot be changed. To put it another way, even if her biological son was taken away from her without her knowledge, what would be the benefit of doing so?

The princess's son doesn't have the right to succeed, right?
Jiang Lu was a little unsure.

It seems that in this already absurd world, it is not impossible.
"Dectel. It may not be certain that she is his biological mother."

After the ghost-faced fox finished speaking, he also felt that the current situation was a mess, something was wrong no matter what he thought, and he shook his legs irritably.

"It would be great if there was a paternity test." Chongpao sighed.

And just as the clues and possibilities were increasing and the three of them were becoming more and more troubled, the door of the guest room suddenly rang.

"Are you up?" Cu Chulainn's bold voice penetrated the wooden door and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Lu asked softly.

Chongpao slapped his forehead: "Oh, he said he would take us to the palace's luncheon today. I thought he was just joking after drinking too much, but I didn't expect him to actually come."

"Luncheon?" Jiang Lu was surprised: "Isn't it usually a dinner party?"

"Because Cu Chulainn is going to fight again in the afternoon, so the banquet to wish him a triumphant victory is arranged at noon. Don't talk nonsense for a while."

After whispering the instructions, the ghost-faced fox said to the door: "Get up, come right now."

With that said, he came to the door and opened it.

Cu Chulainn squeezed into the door which was a little small for him with a smile, and then his smile suddenly faded.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Lu Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "Isn't it normal for me to be here? These guys are my buddies."

"Vulgar." Cu Chulainn shook his head in disdain, 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? Come with us."

Jiang Lu slowly frowned.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

He always felt that Cu Chulainn had some evil plan.

Normally, he should be wary and refuse directly.

However, Jiang Lu is not normal.

He also had a bright smile.

"Hey, is there such a good thing? Our Ku Bao really does what he says, he is such a good boy~"

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

Jiang Lu's tone made his skin crawl all over, and he couldn't help but take two nervous steps back.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm just happy. I feel like you are very filial." Jiang Lu winked at him.

Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon reacted, and their expressions became very weird.

Not only do you want to be someone's wild father behind your back, but you also want to take advantage of him in person, right?

Again they felt a pity for Cú Chulainn.

Poor child, still kept in the dark
Cu Chulainn did feel that Jiang Lu's behavior was abnormal, but he didn't associate it with anything. He just thought that Jiang Lu might be out of his mind.

This makes sense why he is a bard but can't use a musical instrument.

However, when he thought of the big gift he was preparing for Jiang Lu later, Cu Chulainn chose not to care about it anymore, and just wanted this kid to follow him to the palace as soon as possible.

"Filial piety. I'm sick." He muttered softly, and then urged: "So are you leaving or not?"

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

"Then let me hold the piano for you, right?" Cu Chulainn said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, that's okay."

So Jiang Lu happily put the harp into Cu Chulainn's hand and followed Cu Chulainn out the door.

The ghost-faced fox and Heavy Cannon looked at each other and followed helplessly.

Jiang Lu is a bit cautious.

Because he came back from Dectel's mansion next to the palace in the morning, he knew the location of the palace and probably knew the way to go.

So as soon as he left the tavern, he walked to the front without leaving a trace.

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

None of the passers-by knew the great hero Cú Chulainn, so they were all surprised for a moment. Who is this leader, who can actually make the proud Cú Chulainn willing to become a follower?
Before arriving at the palace, Jiang Lu had already had a good time in front of the people of Ulster.

hero? I'm just someone's ox and horse.

Soon, Cu Chulainn, who didn't know that his reputation had been violated, led the three people into the palace.

Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon had already arrived last night. Although they didn't know the palace well, they were familiar with it.

But Jiang Lu couldn't do it, and soon lost his way in the palace, which was bustling with people because of the approaching banquet.

When he came to his senses, he had already separated from his companions.

Just after passing through a human wall, Cu Chulainn turned into an unknown palace guard beside him, and his harp was also held in his arms, as if the person beside Jiang Lu had always been him.

"I am super, transformed into a living person!"

Jiang Lu called him awesome.

The guard ignored Jiang Lu's strange words and said expressionlessly: "Lord Cu Chulainn asked me to lead the way for you."

"Ah? Aren't you going to a banquet?" Jiang Lu asked strangely.

"The banquet is still very early, there is still time." The guard replied, and then made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Lu understood. It was really not an illusion. This kid just wanted to mess with himself.

However, the introduction of the harp master should not be fake, and Cu Chulainn did not even bother to use extra moves.

Then the problem should lie with the harp master.

"Do you think I need to give something valuable?" Jiang Lu was horrified by his own thoughts.

At this time, the guard saw that he had not moved, so he urged: "Please hurry up, Mr. Addison doesn't like to wait."

"Huh? Addison?" Jiang Lu always felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Yes, Lord Addison has a very violent personality. If he gets angry in a while, even Lord Cu Chulainn will not be able to protect you." The guard threatened coldly.

"Oh." Jiang Lu suddenly became listless.

What? It's just that I have a hot temper. I thought I was going to be punished in this way or that.
At the same time, in the banquet hall, the ghost-faced fox and heavy artillery were already in place, and Cu Chulainn comforted them with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. I've found the best harp master in Ulster for him. I'm just going to meet him today and he'll be back soon. Don't you still believe me?"

Having said this, Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon could only nod their heads: "Of course I believe you."

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

Cu Chulainn smiled and said to the two of them:

"The big shots haven't arrived yet. When they all arrive in a while, I will introduce you to them. Now let's have something to eat and drink."

Thinking about what happened to Jiang Lu now, Cu Chulainn felt that this kind of banquet that he usually didn't bother to attend became more interesting.
