"I want to travel around," Fate said. "Visit various countries as a passerby."
"Oh, you want to see your own masterpiece?"
"The world belongs to everyone in the world, and it shouldn't be called my personal masterpiece," Fate corrected.
"It's up to you, but before that, I have a question."
"what?"
“Do you have money to travel?”
"............" This question stumped Fate, who looked embarrassed.
Chapter 9: 8~ Rest in peace, Sir, the Knight Commander of Dawn
"You have been the great general protecting the empire for so many years. You have traveled to various countries and served as the grand marshal of several countries. You must have some savings in your pocket, right?" Christine asked with a smile.
"............." Fate touched his pockets that were full of air, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You have to think clearly. You are no longer a knight. You have no allowance, no salary, no title, and no fiefdom or farmland. Do you still want to travel? You are thinking too far ahead. It is better to think about the present. If you can't make ends meet, you may even have trouble buying your next meal, okay?"
".......There will always be a way." After thinking it over, Fate could only squeeze out these words as if to comfort himself.
After all, there is always a way out.
"If you want to do this, why not take some of the burial objects and sell them to earn some money for your trip? These burial objects are for you anyway."
“Isn’t this somewhat immoral?”
"How is it immoral? It's immoral to steal offerings from other people's graves, but it's okay to steal your own offerings, right? Don't accuse me of 'disrespecting the dead'." Christine rolled her eyes at Fate.
"These burial objects were the money that the Queen you once served gave you to go to the underworld. You can't just take the money back after giving it to the dead, right? That would be a lack of virtue."
"Just keep it. You don't want the money, but you can't just give it away to tomb robbers. If I were you, I could clear this place out." Christine continued.
It seemed that Fate was somewhat tempted by what he said. As the saying goes, a penny can make many heroes fall.
Not only did he fail to die in this heroic act, but he also brought disaster upon himself.
Since the fox demon bloodline won't let him die, he can only live, but people need to eat to live, right?
The fox demon would not starve to death, but the feeling of hunger was very uncomfortable.
Fate has a little-known weakness, which is that he is very afraid of being hungry. Being beaten is not a big deal to him, after all, he is used to being beaten.
Moreover, these things theoretically do belong to him.
After a moment's hesitation, Fate took small steps to the side of the luxurious sarcophagus and reached out to take a few gold and silver objects from it.
Seeing this scene, Christine held her forehead with her hand.
She began to doubt whether she had seen it wrong, and actually thought that this guy was a member of the "destined clan".
This guy is so different from the Lasambo people in terms of values and character, right?!
Rumor has it that the blood of the Lasambo and Fate clans, who belong to opposite extremes, can be converted into each other.
They are the key to the continuation of the Lasambo clan...
It’s not that Christine doesn’t believe in her ancestors’ teachings, it’s that the facts are too outrageous for her to believe.
At this angle, Fate had his back to Christine. Seeing the defenseless back of Fate's neck, Christine grinned, revealing a few sharp little fangs, revealing greed and desire that she had never shown in front of Fate before.
If that old, smelly dead fox hadn't cast many protective spells on him, she might have bitten him.
But judging from the current situation, it is very favorable to her.
Through previous tests and observations, Christine analyzed that Yu Rou Jiu Shuang, as her biological mother, did not like her "daughter" and had a very bad attitude towards her.
Probably because he had done a lot of excessive things in the past, Fate also hated her so much that he never talked about his mother to anyone and was very disgusted with his fox bloodline and was unwilling to show himself as the Nine-Tailed Fox.
All signs indicate that the relationship between mother and daughter may have dropped below freezing point.
If she doesn't take advantage of the situation and call herself Lasambo?
But there was one thing Christine couldn't figure out.
Since that vixen Yurou Jiushuang hated her daughter so much, why did she set so many protective spells on her? Was it really just to preserve the fox bloodline in her?
"Is this all you're taking?" Christine raised her eyebrows when she saw Fate cautiously wrapping up a few gold and silver utensils and putting them in her arms.
"Yeah, there's no room for more." Fate nodded.
Christine glanced at the gold and silver utensils in Fate's arms.
Well, the wine glass is made of pure gold, specially processed and engraved with exquisite patterns, and is inlaid with several agate cat's eyes. It is an ornament made of mother mysterious silver produced in the Elf Forest.
He glanced at the burial objects in the coffin again.
In addition to the expensive ornaments from the empire, there are also elven-style mithril crowns, high-quality silk and porcelain from the Kyushu Daxuan Empire, seal carvings and sculptures from the Holy Orchid Kingdom, and so on.
They are all treasures of inestimable value. It seems that the empire is not the only one providing burial objects.
Her Majesty was really willing to do that. It was just a general who died because of his great achievements. Moreover, this general had murdered her father. Why not just dig a hole and bury him, put some grass on him and that would be it?
But Christine could understand why the queen did this.
Sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living.
No matter how much she hated a person during his lifetime, as long as he could be of use to her after his death, she would personally attend his funeral and give him a grand funeral. She could even posthumously confer a title on him and build a temple for him.
After all, the dead cannot speak. A funeral was held personally for this world-renowned knight who was extremely loved by people of various countries. He was even buried in the imperial palace. Whether the knight was willing or not, he was completely tied to the empire.
From now on, whenever the Knight Commander of the Dawn is mentioned, everyone will remember that it was the Empress of the Empire who personally held his funeral, and he was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum.
The glory of the knights is the glory of the empire, and the people will be more loyal to the empire.
"Oh, you have indeed trained a qualified emperor, Mr. Fate."
"What?" Fate obviously didn't follow Christine's train of thought.
"It's nothing. Let's say goodbye now." Christine sat on the sickle again.
The favorability has been improved, the guidance has been completed, and the foreshadowing has been laid. Naturally, she has no reason to stay here any longer.
"Are you leaving?"
"What else? Continue to stay in this place for the dead? Tsk, this imperial mausoleum is even more gloomy than my residence." Christine said with disgust.
"By the way, when you go out later, don't go through the main door." Christine reminded him before leaving, fearing that this idiot would go out directly from the main door of the tomb.
If he were to go out and be discovered by the Empress of the Empire, all his plans would be in vain.
"Of course I know."
"Thank you. Although we are of different races, you are a noble person, Your Majesty."
“Heh.” Hearing this, Christine remained noncommittal.
Until we meet again, stay well and be healthy, Miss Saint-Lon.
After giving the knight a last meaningful look, Christine disappeared into the tomb.
He put the pendant Christine gave him in place, but was afraid of losing it, so after thinking for a while, he clamped the pendant into the bottomless 'Big White Ditch'.
This way it shouldn't be lost.
After looking at the somewhat messy tomb and hesitating for a moment, Fate decided to tidy up the tomb before leaving.
Although no one lives in this place, and after the tomb owner is moved into the tomb, the door of the tomb will be locked from the inside and no one can enter, but Fate still thinks it is more decent.
He simply put the lid of the sarcophagus that he had smashed open together and placed it gently on top of the sarcophagus. Before leaving, he remembered Christine's suggestion.
"How about considering this as a new life and saying goodbye to your knightly career from now on?"
So he thought about it, put his hands flat on his chest, bowed slightly towards the sarcophagus, and made a prayer gesture.
"Your Excellency, Lord Knight Commander of the Dawn, have a safe journey."
After saying that, Fate turned around and looked at the ceiling of the tomb...
Chapter 10: 9~Fox Carrot~
"Hey, I caught you. You little brat was just slacking off!" The old farmer with rough stubble and burnt skin rolled up the parchment in his hand, swung it and hit his unfortunate son on the forehead as he was basking in the sun in the field.
"Ouch! Dad, please stop hitting me! I'm busy!"
"I asked you to move corns, but you were lying in the cornfield humming a song with a dogtail grass in your mouth. You tell me you are busy? Were you busy in your mother's womb? I should have shot you against the wall! How could I give birth to such a bastard like you!" The old farmer was so angry that he chased his uneducated and unlucky son and beat him.
"Ouch, Dad, please stop hitting me! I'm really busy!" The young man was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his hands, shouting as he ran.
Even though this old man is nearly 60 years old, he is quite nimble and skilled in beating and chopping people, and he is full of energy and spirit.
"How dare you talk back! I'm going to break one of your legs today!"
"Dad, please stop hitting me! I was just lying on the ground to rest because I was tired from moving corn!"
"The baskets are empty. Are you expecting the baskets to stand up and pick the corn by themselves?!"
"No, I was really busy... Oh, by the way, I was just busy pulling radishes and I was exhausted, so I lay down in the field to rest!"
"You are lying with your eyes open! Where did the radishes come from in the cornfield? I have never picked radishes like this before. Don't pick radishes today. I will pick you!"
"I'm serious! If you don't believe me, look ahead!"
"You are kidding a ghost!" The old man glanced forward inadvertently and flew into a rage. However, before he could be angry for a few seconds, he was suddenly attracted by the "big white radish" rising into the sky in front of him, and he stopped moving his hands.
Seeing that his father's life-threatening pursuit had stopped, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and gasped for breath.
"Dad, I didn't lie to you, did I? There are real radishes." The young man pointed at the radishes in the field in front of him and said innocently.
"Don't give me that! The presence of radishes in the field has nothing to do with your laziness." The old man said unhappily, and then looked at the strangely shaped 'big radish' with a strange look.
"That's weird, why don't I remember growing radishes here?"
"Maybe you were too old and confused at that time, Dad."
"Nonsense, I didn't see this radish when I came here yesterday. How can a radish grow so big in one day?" The old man rolled his eyes at his son.
"Also, what kind of radish is this?" The old man looked puzzled and bewildered.
As a farmer who has been farming all his life, he knows the varieties and characteristics of crops by heart, and radish is not unfamiliar to him.
But what kind of radish is this? It looks very smooth, but if you look closely, you will find that it has a lot of soft hairs. It even seems that this radish is covered with thick soft hairs.
No, is this thing really a carrot?
Pink, with a white tip and fluffy, it looks like an oversized dandelion...........
When the wind blew, the "radish" shook, and then swayed a few times under the eyes of the father and son. It was as soft as silk, but seemed full of life.
Even the idiot son couldn't understand that this thing was not a carrot at all, and looked at his father in confusion.
Then, under the surprised eyes of the two, there was movement under the radish, the soil was pushed up, and it seemed that something was about to come out of the ground.
"Oh no, it's a mountain rat! Run!" Without saying a word, the old man grabbed his son and ran in the opposite direction. In a short while, they disappeared without a trace.
".........." The 'big carrot' that was stranded in the original place was still for a while, and a pair of big furry fox ears broke out of the ground first, probing left and right like two signal antennas. After making sure that the surroundings were quiet, the soil was turned out, and a fox covered in dirt drilled out of the ground.
"Fox...so dirty." After the petite girl with fox ears crawled out of the soil, she kept shaking her ears and big tail to get rid of the mud on them, like a cat that keeps shaking off water after falling into the water and coming ashore.
Fei Tao pursed her lips.
Originally, she didn't plan to rely on the blood of the fox demon, but her human blood had weakened and she couldn't even use the heart spell.
He doesn't know magic and can't use the mind spell, and he can't just destroy the tomb, as that would definitely cause chaos.
Unable to think of a solution, Fate quickly thinks of a way out of the situation. She awakens her fox bloodline, transforms into a red peach, and becomes a groundhog, burrowing underground.
Although she herself was extremely repulsive to her own fox bloodline, this was a last resort. Making too much noise would be counterproductive.
She had been to the imperial palace and mausoleum many times and could accurately calculate how long it would take to dig out the palace.
Although she couldn't accurately predict where she was, she could be sure that she had dug out of the palace.
So she stopped digging forwards and started digging upwards.
As the saying goes, "When you are about to dig out of the ground, a stone happened to get stuck on her chest. So she could only let her tail out first, and wait until she broke the stone before moving her body out.
"Fox... did you hear any sound just now?" Fei Tao shook her ears, and some of the dirt on her head fell off.
