Chapter 25 Three Places
The tower is still yesterday's tower, and the tower is not yesterday's tower. The wall is still the wall and the building is still the same building, but the people upstairs were not yesterday's people. Previously, only hundreds of people were guarding on the tower, and there was one person across the road, but now it is crowded. Every soldier is wearing armor and ready at any time. War, these soldiers are all elites of the empire. They stand there without saying a word. They are extremely cold and look like an iron army.
Ike finally squeezed into the front of the tower and saw the middle door of the tower open. A white-haired old man was standing in front of the sand table pointing. Next to him stood three men and kept nodding. One of these three, Ike knew. It was Hongtubar. Seeing such a scene, Ike could also guess the white-haired old man. The identity should undoubtedly be the God of War, but the image of the old man is very different from what he imagined. The old man in front of him is dressed in civilian clothes, which is no different from the ordinary old man. If you insist on saying that there is anything different, it is that he is very energetic, not as the ordinary old man.
"Caesar is coming, come in"
Ike was still hesitating whether to go in or not, so he heard that Hongtubal's loud voice had called his name, and he couldn't go in, so Ike raised his foot and went into the room.
Ike moved to Hongtubal's side and stood a little restrainedly. Although the old man looked ordinary, it was impossible not to be nervous at all at the thought that he was the god of war of the empire.
"General, he is the captain of the golden pipe team, Caesar," Hongtubal introduced to the old man.
"Pa," the old man suddenly straightened up and gave a military salute to Ike.
"Papa, Papa, Papa", three men, including Hongtubal, also saluted.
"What are you doing?" Ike asked doubtfully. He didn't expect that these people would salute themselves when they saw him, and so did Mark before. He was so scared that he didn't care about himself when he heard his name. Does Caesar really have any great identity?
"I am the name of the person who represents the whole empire to thank you. Without your sacrifice, we can't get the stability of the empire. We will always remember their names. You are all the pride of the empire!" The old man spoke powerfully and did not look old-fashioned at all.
Ike thought of the Iron Tooth team and Nuer scolded and others. They still couldn't come back in the end. They were really proud, but he and others ran away in the end. This is the knot in his heart. I don't know when it can be opened.
"The task has been completed. If you don't leave, you will die there. You haven't done anything wrong. They create opportunities for you. If you don't cherish it, it will waste their hearts, so that they won't forgive you, so you don't have to blame yourself." Hongtubal came over gently. Pat Ike on the shoulder.
"Yes, it's meaningless to stay. It's better to live to avenge them." Ike thought so and felt much better.
"Thank you," Ike said to Hongtubar in a low voice.
"Young man, do you have something to say?" The old man asked.
Ike nodded and said, "I'm here to ask if any of you know where the world's most strange poison - the antidote to the drunken world?"
Ike originally planned to join the army, but he saw the God of War, so he changed the question. Maybe the other party can know where the antidote is? Then she won't join the army. Anyway, there is not much more herself, but Kleeya can't afford to delay. Her mental strength will be less every day. Maybe she will really die after ten or eight years, so he has to find the antidote first. As for the war, let the soldiers participate!
"It's the girl named Kleiya who was poisoned!" The old man seemed to have doubts and said to himself.
Hong Tubal nodded and said, "Yes."
The old man said, "I don't know where there is the poison of drunkenness."
Ike's heart was cold. Although he had a plan for a long time, he still couldn't accept it when he heard the God of War say it himself. How could you not know? You must know, otherwise what should Xiaoya do?
Maybe after hearing Ike's inner monologue, the old man paused, turned around and said, "But I know where there is hope to cure the drunken world."
"Where?" Ike was happy and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Three places, Ice Palace, Light God Religion, Dark Parliament", the old man stretched out three fingers and said the names of the three places.
Ice Palace, didn't Mark just shout that he was from the Ice Palace? It turned out that he was very good. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Although these three places only have hope of treatment, they are better than waiting for death. Ike will naturally not give up, so he asked, "Do you know where these three places are?"
The old man shook his head. Although he was the god of war, he only proved his ability to command the war. He was not a Rubik's Cube, but had heard of these three places. As for where they were, he didn't know where they were.
"Although I don't know where they are, it happens that people from the ice palace came out to practice this time, just in our army. If they can take you there, they can find the ice palace," the old man said.
As soon as the old man said, Ike thought of Mark and the three. They appeared in the barracks and claimed to be the ice palace, so they must be the people from the ice palace mentioned by the God of War.
"I'm going to find them now," and Ike turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't rush to find them first," the old man stopped Ike.
"Why?" Ike asked.
"The people in the Ice Palace came out to practice, and it is impossible for them to go back before they finish the experience," the old man explained.
"Then when will they go back?" Ike asked again.
"Win the battle", the old man suddenly burst into a strong aura at this moment, and even Ike couldn't breathe, but Fortunately, in an instant, the old man took back his aura and became an ordinary old man again.
"The student team of Elonsoke Combat College is about to arrive. You can just go to meet him. Klea's father is also here. I believe he should want to see you," the old man looked at Ike and said.
Ike doesn't understand the meaning of the last sentence. Why did Cleya's father want to see me? Did he know that Klee was hit by an arrow to save me and wanted to beat himself, scold him, or just kill himself? Ike was not afraid. Even if Kleeya's father wanted to kill him, he would not resist. Who would make himself ashamed of Kleeya, but his father had not been rescued, so he didn't want to die. When he couldn't get it, he could only ask his father to forgive himself for a period of time.
"Okay, I'll meet them now"
You can't avoid it. Ike doesn't want to hide. He must face what he has to face by himself.
The old man nodded approvingly. The child is good and has the courage to take responsibility. He is a good seedling. He can't say that he will help him at that time, but he can't really let that guy beat him to death.
No one knows that Kelia's father is very familiar with the God of War, and even the captain of his three ace teams is not clear.
"Go ahead. I guess they will arrive in an hour. You and Xiaotie will go to the north gate to pick them up." The old man glanced at Hongtubar.
"Little Tie?" Ike wondered that he hadn't realized who Xiaotie was.
"Yes," Hongtubal answered with a fist.
If Ike didn't know who Xiaotie was, he would be an idiot. He didn't expect that the rugged Hongtubal was Xiaotie in the eyes of the old man. Why did he call this name? Is it related to the Iron Tooth team? In this way, should the remaining two be called "Little Jin" and "Little Silver"? Ike thought it was a little funny, but he didn't dare to laugh in front of these people, so he held it.
Ike and Hongtubal went out of the room together and walked all the way to the wall before Ike laughed.
"Why are you laughing, don't laugh!" Hongtubar certainly knows what he is laughing at.
"You have to laugh again. When Kleiya's father comes, I will say that you often bully Klee."
Hongtubar made a false move, and Ike immediately surrendered and quickly closed his mouth. It turned out that he was a little nervous. If Hongtubar added fuel and vinegar, he might have no idea what Xiaoya's father would think.
