At this moment, Heavy Artillery suddenly spoke: "Hey, do you remember that Conchieber mentioned Dectel?"
"Mentioned...?" Ghost-faced Fox was a little unsure.
"I mentioned it. You only listen to the big things. You don't have any idea about the many trivial things he discussed with Cu Chulainn."
Heavy Artillery recalled:
"I remember that it was about time before he left. He asked Cu Chulainn and asked him to persuade his mother. She had not gone to the palace to see him for many years. She said that if it wasn't for the borrowing of Cu Chulainn this time, As an excuse, it gave him a reason to go to Dectel's palace to find her, and he didn't know when he would be able to see her.
What else is there to say, the recent war on the front line is urgent, and there is no way to send troops to protect Dectel. Let him, as a son, pay more attention to his mother. If there is any trouble, he must tell him as soon as possible. "
Hearing this, Jiang Lu felt something weird for no apparent reason.
"Send troops to protect her, or...monitor her, imprison her?"
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.
After the king's death, his half-brother Fergus succeeded and married Queen Nessa on the condition that Conchieber be the next king.
After this, Conchearbur developed a huge power in a very short period of time and was deeply loved by the people. However, Fergus did not like to deal with government affairs and preferred pleasure, so he happily passed the throne to Conchearbur early.
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.
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.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether there will be the shadow of Fergus behind this coalition attack on Ulster.
As for Dektel, after Conchieber ascended the throne, she was betrothed to a nobleman named Surtime by her biological father, the druid.
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.
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.
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.
After that, Conchieber also sent people to look for Luger, but found nothing.
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.
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.
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.
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. "
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.
This made the ghost-faced fox feel a little unnatural.
"What...what happened?"
"No." Jiang Lu said seriously: "I just feel that you are too awesome and you are a living encyclopedia."
Heavy Artillery also had a look of admiration on his face: "Where did you see these things? Do you still remember them so completely?"
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?"
Jiang Lu and Chongpao looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Heavy artillery does not have this condition, Jiang Lu does not have this ability.
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.
From this myth, Jiang Lu didn't hear any doubts.
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.
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.
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.
Although the possibility that the God of Light is Brother Jie cannot be ruled out, it is still a bit too abnormal.
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.
If his purpose was only to give birth to Cu Chulainn, then his shadow should also appear in Cu Chulainn's growth process.
But no, nothing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked: "Let's just say, does the God of Light Luger really exist..."
"Why do you ask?"
The ghost-faced fox was a little strange, but still replied:
"If you're asking if anyone has seen it, then there are, aren't they the warriors who brought Cu Chulainn and Dectel back?
But if you want to talk about tangible evidence, there really isn't any.
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. "
"It's no problem." Jiang Lu pondered and nodded.
It cannot be confirmed, but it cannot be falsified either. God is such a strange existence.
But if this is the case, then the clue is broken again.
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.
"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 fake, right?" Heavy Artillery said uncertainly.
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: "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.”
"I remember." Jiang Lu nodded first, 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."
"Hmm..." 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.
As long as the biological mother can be identified, then Cu Chulainn's half Ulster bloodline cannot be changed.
Even if her own son was replaced without her knowledge, what good would it do to do so?
The princess's son doesn't have the right to succeed...right?
Jiang Lu was a little unsure.
It seems that in this absurd world, it is not impossible...
"Dektel...it's not necessarily certain that he is her 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 nice if there was a paternity test..." Heavy Artillery 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?"
