442 I will attack as a bodyguard!
When Gan Qiu saw the four words "Aesop's Fables" on the cover, he was confused, and when he heard Luna mention Patrick's name, he became even more confused.
What the hell is going on? How come readers who met Aesop every day in the past can still meet him in the future?
Gan Qiu subconsciously reached out to Luna, wanting to take the "Aesop's Fables" to see if the "Aesop's Fables" of the future was the same as the "Aesop's Fables" of the past. However, his hand was slapped down by Luna, and then he was hit hard on the head.
"What are you doing?!" Luna glared at Ganqiu and said, "Are you trying to desecrate our sacred objects?"
"Holy, holy object?" Gan Qiu was even more confused. "What holy object? Isn't this just a pornographic book?"
"X-Xiaoxueshu?"
Luna's eyes widened, and anger was revealed in her beautiful pupils, just like the reaction of those extremely devout believers in the past when they heard someone say, "The goddess is nothing more than a little girl."
Looking at her nostrils flaring and her gasping breathing, Ganqiu felt a little regretful, thinking that Luna seemed to be about to launch a holy war against him in the next second.
Fortunately, Luna was not like Ganqiu and Stank, who were always ready to duel with others. After glaring at Ganqiu coldly, she put "Aesop's Fables" back into her pocket, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
Gan Qiu was anxious and immediately chased after him: "Hey, wait a minute, it's my fault, it's my fault, don't leave me!"
After so much difficulty finding someone who is not hostile to him in this future world that is full of hostility towards him, how could Gan Qiu let him go so easily?
Besides, what bad intentions could a nightmare who liked to read pornographic books have? But no matter how you look at it, it's more reliable than those sheriffs who were holding scissors and shouting that they wanted to castrate him.
However, Gan Qiu's actions had thoroughly offended Luna. Luna had already determined that Gan Qiu was not her kind, so she quickened her pace, hoping to shake off this suspected spy. However, Gan Qiu had already run for so long and had expended so much energy that he was having trouble catching up.
Seeing that Luna was about to disappear from his sight, Gan Qiu became anxious and immediately yelled at Luna: "Do you know who I am?!"
This sudden outburst made Luna, who was about to run away, tremble slightly. She subconsciously stopped and turned back to look at Gan Qiu: "Who are you?"
Gan Qiu did not answer immediately, but asked: "You said you are a follower of Patrick Star, then let me ask you, have you read Aesop's Fables?"
"Of course!" Luna was very unhappy that Gan Qiu questioned her. "This is my Lord's thing, my faith. I have read it thousands of times and I can almost recite it by heart!"
"In that case, let me test you." Gan Qiu said, "Patrick has four knights under his command..."
Luna's eyes widened little by little. "The Four Horsemen? You actually knew about that?"
Upon hearing this familiar title, Gan Qiu knew it was the Aesop's Fables he remembered, so he nodded slowly and asked, "Do you know the titles of the four knights?"
"Of course." Luna listed them without hesitation, as if she were naming a dish. "They are the Lust Knight, the Lust Elf, the Lust Hound, and... the Lust Three Eggs!"
Gan Qiu asked again: "Do you know the characteristics of each knight?"
"Of course!" Luna nodded, subconsciously wanting to describe these characteristics again. However, when the words came to her lips, she felt something was not right, so she looked at Gan Qiu with suspicion, "Wait, why are you asking these questions?"
"Since you know..." Gan Qiu slowly untied the rag that Luna had just stuffed into him to cover his body, revealing it completely in front of Luna. Then he put his hands on his hips and tried to stand up straight, "Then take a look at what this is!"
what is this?
Luna was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and looked over carefully.
"Did you see that?" Gan Qiu's words were full of arrogance.
"It's too small." Luna frowned slightly, "I can't see clearly."
Gan Qiu's hard-earned pride was instantly broken: "...Then can you fucking come a little closer?"
Although she was a little worried that Ganqiu was not a good person, Luna really wanted to know what Ganqiu wanted her to see, so she slowly moved towards Ganqiu with a vigilant look on her face.
As the distance got closer, the lights became brighter, and the vision became clearer, Luna finally saw what it was, and then her eyes widened little by little, her beautiful eyes full of shock.
"This, this, this is..."
"That's right!" Gan Qiu sneered, then raised his finger and pointed at Luna. With a tone like the arrival of a hero, he slowly said, "I am one of the four knights of the Pai constellation—the Three Eggs of Color!"
……
Twenty minutes later, Gan Qiu successfully followed Luna to an underground bar.
As soon as she entered the bar, Luna ran around like a wild horse with its reins loosened, shouting to everyone else in the bar: "Family! We're saved, we're saved! Patrick has appeared, Patrick has appeared!"
With just one sentence, everyone in the bar focused their attention on him.
After all, this statement is as eye-catching as someone rushing into a bar and shouting "The goddess has appeared" in the past.
"Luna?" The other nightmares looked at Luna suspiciously. "What happened?"
"Patrick appeared in a spirit? What spirit did he appear in?"
"Stop being a riddle man and make your words clear!"
It was obvious that the people here, like Luna, had the same faith in Patrick...that boy Aesop, as they had in the goddess in the past.
"Patrick has sent down his Four Horsemen!" Luna said excitedly. "What does this mean? Doesn't it mean he's coming to save us?"
The Four Horsemen?!
The nightmares in the bar were obviously very familiar with Aesop's Fables. They were immediately surprised and hurriedly asked Luna what was going on.
After Luna's story, everyone's attention naturally focused on Gan Qiu again.
To be precise, it is Ganqiu's lower body.
Gan Qiu now felt a little embarrassed.
It was embarrassing enough to do that action and say those words to Luna.
Now the number of people has increased dozens of times. Do we have to let him do it again?
Exposing oneself in public is something that a masochist likes to do, not something a sadist like him should do!
But before Gan Qiu could prove himself, someone had already raised doubts: "Three Lustful Eggs? Luna, how did you know?"
Luna replied, "Because I saw it with my own eyes! It was indeed the Three-Egg Knight."
"But the Sandan Knight has been dead for hundreds of years," the skeptic said again. "He's already an ancient being, how could he still be alive? You must have been deceived. This guy must have been sent by the sheriff. What you saw must be just a disguise!"
Those who questioned Gan Qiu spoke with great confidence, but it made Gan Qiu extremely angry.
"What a psycho! Why would you want to pretend in a place like this!" Gan Qiu said, "If you have to pretend, why not pretend to be Stank... that swordsman of lust? No matter how you look at it, that guy can disguise himself better than me, right?!"
Everyone thought about it and felt that what Gan Qiu said made sense.
Among the Four Horsemen of Ticket Swindling, only the Third of Lust is the most difficult to disguise. After all, the price to pay for disguising him... is too high. It would be better to just say that you are the Knight of Lust or the Hound of Lust.
"It's because it's difficult to disguise that people find it easy to believe!" But the person who questioned Gan Qiu was completely unconvinced and said in a shocked voice, "Luna, you must not be fooled by this guy's appearance! Think about it, Luna, those sheriffs have long wanted to catch all of us in one fell swoop! But they can't find any trace of us, so they resorted to this despicable trick! Now that you've brought him here, our hiding place is about to be exposed!"
These words made Luna start to doubt herself, and she couldn't help but express some doubts about Gan Qiu's previous arms display.
After all, everyone's situation is too dangerous. Now someone appears and claims to be an ancient person from a hundred years ago. After a little excitement, everyone will naturally fall into deep suspicion.
Gan Qiu also felt helpless when facing these suspicious eyes.
Originally, he had always been angry at Aesop, that bastard, for writing so much about him in the book, but now, he not only needs to rely on his identity as a character in the book to survive, but he even has to prove that he is really that person.
Damn it, Gan Qiu has never done this kind of proof before, how am I supposed to prove it?!
Gan Qiu scratched his head violently, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of what the sheriffs had said to him, and then gradually realized something.
"Haha, you want me to prove myself, right?" Gan Qiu slowly raised his hand and pointed at the nightmare that had just questioned him. "If that's the case, then there's no need for me to hide it. I am the... ahem, the Three-Egg Knight of Lust. Next, I will prove myself with something that only I can do, something that none of you can do."
Seeing Gan Qiu suddenly speak in such a confident tone, like an otherworldly expert, everyone was slightly stunned.
"Prove yourself?" The nightmare demon who questioned Gan Qiu frowned slightly. "How do you plan to prove it? Is there something you can do that we can't?"
Gan Qiu's finger gradually moved upwards, pointing to the clock above their heads: "Watch that clock carefully. Remember, it must be accurate to the second. Because next..."
He paused, then slowly untied the rag covering his body, threw it aside, and then spoke slowly.
"I will attack in knight form!"
Next, everyone witnessed a performance that they had never seen before... a performance that could be called a miracle!
"So fast, really fast!"
After the performance, everyone was shocked.
"This technique... is too fierce. How long did it take him?"
"Nine seconds! I was staring at the clock the whole time, and it only took nine seconds!"
"So... he is indeed the Three-Egg of Color, he is indeed the Three-Egg Knight!"
"Ah, why do you say that?"
"Damn it! You didn't even know that? Today, I punish you by making you copy the entire chapter about the Knight of the Three Eggs from Aesop's Fables."
"Let me tell you, the Three-Egg Knight could only fight for three seconds at first! But after gaining the power of a dragon and tripling his ammunition capacity, his combat time also tripled! In other words, a full nine seconds! From then on, the Three-Egg Knight began his glorious life and spread his fame throughout the world!"
"Yes, he is the Three-Egg Knight! He is definitely the Three-Egg Knight! Apart from the Three-Egg Knight, no one else can control time so precisely, and no one can end the battle in such a short time... Uh, Three-Egg Knight, why are you crying?"
After some twists and turns, the people here finally believed that Ganqiu was the Knight of the Three Eggs in Aesop's Fables.
After all, Gan Qiu's quick, accurate and ruthless operation just now was indeed not something that could be done by an ordinary person.
As a result, Gan Qiu's status and treatment changed instantly, and everyone supported him and treated him like a hero.
Of course, Gan Qiu himself wasn't particularly moved. Recalling what he had just done, he felt like using a time machine to go back in time and strangle Aesop, the man who had suggested going to find the Lord of Storms and Time. Ever since he met Aesop, his luck had been getting worse by the day.
Although in the eyes of others, he seemed to have achieved great success and even become a legend in history...
But who the hell wants this kind of legend!
To stop them from discussing his recent actions, Gan Qiu immediately put on a stern face, acting like he was out to save the world. He asked seriously, "So, what's going on in this world? Who can tell me?"
The nightmares looked at each other in bewilderment. Then one of them, the one who had just questioned Gan Qiu, stood up and said slowly, "All of this started thirty years ago. That day was also the end of the nightmares."
……
PS: I feel a bit helpless. I just opened a new chapter and changed the map, so the score was bound to drop. As a result, I was blocked after writing two chapters. Moreover, it was taken down on Friday afternoon, close to the end of the get off work day. I would have corrected it if I had been reminded earlier. Now it’s a weekend for review, so I can’t make any changes even if I want to. I can only wait until Monday.
The number of follow-up subscriptions, which were already few in number, has been reduced even more.
I've also discovered that, despite not having considered this before, switching back to modern times, there are a lot of things that... just aren't easy to write about. So, most of the things I had in mind seem unfinished. It's overwhelming. Alas, I can only write casually. It should be finished in another two or three months. I can only hope that everyone doesn't get their expectations too high for this book; if it can be completed normally, it will be a success.
Any of the four or four people could become the next Patrick Star!
Thirty years ago?
Gan Qiu was a bit stunned when he heard this number. He had originally thought that the world had changed to this extent, and that it would take at least a century or two for the perceptions of passersby to shift to that level. So it had only been thirty years?
What kind of things could have happened in these thirty years to make the world become like this?
"Only thirty years ago, this world was still normal," the nightmare demon named Livlu, who had previously questioned Ganqiu, said to Ganqiu, "different races lived in harmony, and the entertainment industry flourished..."
Hmm... Although I know what Livlu wants to express, why do these two sentences together still feel a little strange?
Gan Qiu wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, he held back.
"At the same time, with the war years a thousand years away, the Church's control over the world has reached an unprecedented level," Livlu said. "There's almost no one in this world who isn't a believer in the Church, a believer in the Goddess. Especially after the passing of humanity's last arcanist, Lord Patrick, and the decline of the Deya Magic Academy, there's no longer any entity in this world that can even be compared to the Church. But no one thought it was a bad thing back then, because the Church had ruled the world for a thousand years, and the Goddess was the only true God... until thirty years ago, when that famous decree was issued from the Holy City of Raphael..."
In fact, Gan Qiu really wanted to ask about Aesop first.
Sure enough, according to the normal timeline, Aesop successfully became an arcanist. However, it seems that arcanists only have a relatively long lifespan, which does not mean eternity.
So when Gan Qiu learned that Aesop had also passed away after living for a hundred years, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, but he soon came to his senses.
Fuck, what a pathetic bullshit! Aesop lived for hundreds of years as a short-lived creature, while I died hundreds of years ago. And yet I'm still mourning the fact that Aesop didn't have eternal life... Seriously, does he deserve it?
So, Gan Qiu coughed twice and focused on the decree: "What decree?"
"Anti-pornography order."
"Puff..." Gan Qiu felt like a mouthful of old soup was stuck in his throat.
What the hell is this name? It's so blunt and vulgar, isn't it? Is this really something a church could issue?
"Ahem, that's not the exact name." Livlu coughed twice and said, "That name is quite long, but that's roughly what it means. To make it easier for you to understand, we've called it that. In fact, that's how we've always called this decree."
Before she knew it, Livlu had begun to address Ganqiu with a respectful title.
"Okay, so the ban on pornography means... abolishing the pornography industry?" Gan Qiu asked.
"More than that." Livlu shook her head and said, "It completely deprives a person of their sexual desire."
Although he had guessed it, when he heard Livlu say it, Gan Qiu was still shocked: "Can it really be done this way?"
"Yes." Livlu nodded and said, "After the arrival of peace, all races basically stopped researching new types of magic. But the Church didn't. They have been researching for many years, but before this, no one knew what they were researching."
"But..." Gan Qiu couldn't understand at all, "Why would they do this?"
"Because...our Lord." Luna interrupted and took out the Aesop's Fables. "Our Lord has profoundly affected the status of the church and the status of the goddess."
"That Aesop... I mean, why can Patrick affect the status of the church and the goddess?" Gan Qiu still didn't understand.
