Such strong men are rare in the mysterious place where he learned his skills.
He has always been willing to respect the strong.
And this is a master-level double-axe warrior that has never been heard of before. If it is really an Ulster man, it will undoubtedly be a blessing to Ulster.
But looking at this bard...
Cu Chulainn frowned: "A bard who travels far and wide, but can't even use the musical instruments he brings?"
"Ha." Jiang Lu smiled disdainfully: "Can't singers lip-sync?"
"So you're just a liar, aren't you?"
"You don't understand bards at all! The most important thing about bards is to bring happiness to people, you bastard!"
Jiang Lu directly began to recite the Bible:
""It's not all lip-synching", "It's pad sound, not lip-syncing", "That's great, don't compete with me for tickets next time", "Feel the atmosphere", "It's enough to see him", "I just It’s enough to know that I was really happy at that time.”
The anti-intellectual remarks made both Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon frown, not to mention Cu Chulainn who couldn't help but feel the sand in his eyes.
He immediately said: "I recognize your two companions. They both showed me their strength just now, but you are the only one. You are just a despicable thief. My agreement with you will not change! "
After saying that, Cu Chulainn turned around angrily and continued walking towards Ulster.
The soldiers around Jiang Lu cast disdainful glances at him.
However, the Ghost-Faced Fox and the Heavy Cannon, which were recognized by Cu Chulainn, received preferential treatment.
Some soldiers even took the initiative to talk to Heavy Cannon, wanting to test the weight of the ax in his hands.
Jiang Lu...seems to be isolated...
"You..." After dealing with the soldiers, the heavy artillery looked at the neglected Jiang Lu with some concern.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Lu waved his hand and acted very free and easy: "This is part of my plan. With me as a comparison, I believe you will be more easily appreciated by Cu Chulainn. Everything is for the mission."
Hearing this, the ghost-faced fox was a little surprised. He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. Thousands of words finally turned into body language, and he gently patted Jiang Lu on the shoulder.
Jiang Bao... Why do you have to do this? We are a team! We should share the risk, why do you have to bear it alone?
Ghost Faced Fox even forgot that this so-called risk was actually brought by Jiang Lu. For a moment, he actually felt a little guilty.
Jiang Lu, however, just stared at Cu Chulainn's back silently, thinking back to his war god posture just now, thinking deeply...
The scorching sun hanging high in the sky was almost setting, and its last red rays dyed the blue sky red.
After walking for a long time, the army finally returned to Ulster.
Ulster is located in the northeastern seaside area of Ireland, adjacent to Great Britain, and the two continents face each other across the sea.
Due to the geographical location, the temperature difference between day and night here is huge. As soon as the sun sets, the air is soaked by the cold sea breeze. Jiang Lu, who is only wearing a white robe, can't help but shiver.
He finally understood why the soldiers here all wore fur armor, and the military coats did look warm.
With Cu Chulainn taking the lead, the army moved forward unimpeded.
Walking onto the streets of Ulster, there are pubs and blacksmith shops everywhere.
There are many taverns because the people of Ulster are fierce and need strong liquor to keep warm, and there are many blacksmiths because Ulster is at war with Connaught in the west, and the demand for weapons and armor is extremely high. Large, so many workshops were temporarily converted into blacksmith shops.
Entering the city, Cu Chulainn's army disbanded and went back to their homes.
"Don't they need to go back to the military camp?" Ghost Faced Fox asked curiously.
"They are not soldiers." Cú Chulainn replied: "They are all my admirers. They come to Ulster from various places to join me. They are warriors who are loyal to me. They are my followers and are not under the control of the king."
"That's it." The ghost-faced fox nodded.
Cu Chulainn asked: "Where is your home?"
The ghost-faced fox was well prepared: "We don't live in the capital, we are from a tribe in the outskirts of Ulster."
"In that case, come with me to the pub for a few drinks first, and then I'll settle you down."
Cu Chulainn spoke boldly and authentically.
"That would be great." Ghost-faced Fox nodded, then pointed at Jiang Lu with difficulty: "But my companion..."
Cu 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 Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon. After all, druids and warriors are very popular everywhere, especially such powerful druids and warriors.
As for his attitude, Jiang Lu didn't care much.
Because he is 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 will not be afraid of turning over.
And now he still needs to know a lot of information about the curse and Ulster. As long as the ghost-faced fox can get what he needs from him, it doesn't matter if he endures it.
Jiang Lu never cares what men think of him!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu followed them nonchalantly, holding the harp and raising his head proudly.
"The pub in front is where I often go, I..."
Cu Chulainn was introducing the Ghost-faced Fox and the Heavy Cannon, which he recognized, when he suddenly heard a female voice shouting: "Setante! Do you still know to come back?!"
Jiang Lu looked around and saw a graceful and beautiful woman sitting on a carriage outside the tavern ahead, glaring at Cu Chulainn.
When he saw this woman, Cu Chulainn's expression suddenly became unnatural.
He choked his neck and said to the woman with some embarrassment: "Mother, how many times have I told you, my name is not Setante now, my name is Cu Chulainn!"
"Mother?"
Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon were shocked.
For such a burly Cu Chulainn, his mother is so petite and yet so young and beautiful?
Jiang Lu also stared.
Oh?
I think my aunt still has her charm...
Chapter 187: Attack the spiritual realm? Attack Dectel!
Jiang Lu's gaze did not attract the attention of Cu Chulainn's mother, Dectel.
Because his gaze is not a wild expression of malice and aggression, but an implicit and reserved one with kindness and appreciation.
This kind of gaze is something Dectel has long been accustomed to.
As the sister of the monarch of Ulster, Conchieber Michael Nesa, Dectel has attracted much attention since she was a child. She has been favored by thousands of people and naturally has admirers and suitors.
Due to their status, they did not dare to express their love to Dectel directly. Of course, they were not qualified to do so.
They could only stop and watch from a distance with admiration and admiration.
So to Dectel, Jiang Lu's eyes were as natural and ordinary as the air he breathed every day, and he had already become numb.
"Kulan is just a blacksmith! And he's dead!" Dectel said with some displeasure: "Are you going to call yourself his guard dog all your life?"
"This is a promise, mother. What I promised must be fulfilled." Cu Chulainn did not give in.
This made Dektel fall into a furious mood: "You are so stubborn, that's why you killed my only grandson Kenlak!"
Cu Chulainn was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "That is for the face of the monarch and Ulster."
"Damn your face!" Dectel obviously did not accept this reason.
Looking at Chongpao and Jiang Lu who looked confused, the ghost-faced fox explained in a low voice:
"Kenluck is the son Cú Chulainn gave birth to at the place where he studied. Before he left, he gave Kenluck a curse, 'You must not be recognized by others, you cannot give in to anyone, and you must not fail to participate in any duels.' .
This led to his son later coming to Ulster to find him, and he got into a fight with the Ulster warriors because of a misunderstanding, and then alerted Cu Chulainn. As a result, they could not recognize each other because of the curse. In the end, Cu Chulainn Lin personally killed his son Kenluck.
It wasn't until Kenluck was dying that they recognized each other.
This is true in the myth, but looking at the current situation, it seems that there is another hidden secret. It sounds like Cu Chulainn has recognized his son, but because the other party has defeated the Ulster warriors one after another, in order to protect Ulster's face, so Cu Chulainn killed him anyway. "
After hearing the explanation of the ghost-faced fox, both of them were a little surprised.
No wonder his mother said he was stubborn. If it was really such a thing as killing relatives for the sake of justice, then he was really stubborn.
They were still whispering here, but the quarrel over there seemed to have come to an end.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore, Cu Chulainn, are you satisfied? Cu Chulainn!"
Dectel waved his hands impatiently, and then said:
"King Conchie has been looking for you, but you are not in Ulster, so I have been waiting for you here all day."
"I went to stop Maeve's army because..."
Having said this, he glanced at Jiang Lu and the others: "I was delayed a little bit because of some things, otherwise I should be back in the afternoon."
"You don't have to explain to me. You won't listen to anything I say, right?"
Dectel said this, but still nodded to the three people behind Cu Chulainn with royal etiquette.
In fact, she had noticed them for a long time, but she had never cared about Cu Chulainn's friends.
Of course she could tell that among the three, one was a druid, one was a warrior, and one was a bard. However, as a princess, she had seen too many great figures and legends, so she did not see the abilities of the three. Of course, she only regarded them as ordinary people and did not take them too seriously.
but...
"What's your name?" Dectel looked directly at Jiang Lu.
This is because the harp next to Jiang Lu caught her attention.
She doesn't know magic or combat skills, but she only has a soft spot for music. She even relies on her status to hire a bard with the same special status who can also play the role of a druid or a prophet when necessary. personal musician.
Among them, the harp is her favorite instrument because she feels that the harp is more classical, more romantic, and more in line with the nobility of the royal family than orchestral music.
So when I saw Jiang Lu carrying the harp, of course Aiwu and Wu Tianran had a good impression of him.
"My name is Jiang Ge." Jiang Lu opened his mouth without thinking.
Previously, the ghost-faced fox mentioned Cu Chulainn's biological father, Luge, the god of light in Celtic mythology. Now he called his name Jiang Ge, and everyone knew that he belonged to Sima Zhao.
Dectel nodded and said nothing more.
But when she mentioned it like this, Cu Chulainn remembered that because usually others would announce their family name in front of him. When he met someone who didn't know him for the first time, he only wanted to let the three of them know his name. I haven't asked their names yet.
