Chapter 36

But the Witches of all ages, not every witch is happy to be the emperor's wife and concubine.

Cassandra is an obvious example. She does not want to be the queen of Manon. She is dissatisfied with Manon's brutal rule. Therefore, she always tries her best to refuse Manon's proposal. At the same time, slow down the time of Manon's attack. Because, once Manon completely calms down, it's time for her to become a canary in Manon's pen.

"You're Manon's witch. Why do you think that?" Jiangning still wants to hear Cassandra's own words of treason. He doesn't know whether his arrival will produce some changes. Therefore, he should be cautious.

Cassandra said with a little pain: "I hate Manon. He's imprisoned me since I was a few years old. He needs my strength to help him fight against other tribes, he is cruel, he is cold-blooded... And he wants me. But, I don't like him, I want to run away from him. Get out of this cage She was very sad to shed a few tears: "but, although I am a wizard, I have no power, except to predict the future. I don't have any strength. I can't escape Manon! "

Jiangning quietly listened to Cassandra's talk, he said: "but, do you know. Stay with Manon, at least safe and diet. But if you leave Manon, it's hard to live three days in the wild! "

……

Jiangning is telling the truth. Don't forget, this is Egypt. A large part of the land here is completely covered by desert! Only a small amount of land, farming! It's a Nile that feeds Egypt.

In the wild, a woman like Cassandra doesn't have the right survival skills. No martial arts, no witchcraft, once in the wild. If she was not killed by other carnivores, she would die of thirst. The sun would make her dizzy until she was in a coma due to heatstroke, and finally she died of dehydration!

"Even so, I will run away! I don't want to be around Manon even if I'm afraid to die outside. I'm fed up with it. I hate it! " Cassandra sad tears, her eyes looking at Jiangning: "Ning, can you help me?"

Jiangning deeply looked at her, after a long time: "help you can, but you have to tell me how to cure my soul!"

Cassandra thought for a moment: "the soul is never a mysterious field that mortals can touch. Except for gods, mortals can hardly have a way. I know a way, that is, the spring full of the power of life, by which the soul may be cured. Another way is to turn to the gods! But how could it be

Jiangning takes a deep breath. Cassandra's words are the same as imodon's.

He tried to find the eternal spring, but he didn't know the exact location of it. Although he knew the place, he didn't know the exact location at all. Therefore, the search for eternal spring is also nonsense.

"Do you know the eternal spring? Cassandra

"The fountain of eternal life?" She looked at Jiangning in surprise.

"Yes

Cassandra frowned and said, "I seem to have heard of it!"

"Really?"

"But..." she frowned again, making Jiangning very nervous: "but what?"

Cassandra stretched her brows and said in her charming voice, "according to legend, the fountain of eternal life was created by the gods! It seems to be used to reward the great contribution of mortals, but the location is unknown. I only know that this spring is hidden in a paradise, which is said to be the kingdom of gods! Carefree, no hunger, no disease, no pain, paradise

"I'm sorry, I don't know where this place is!"

"I know where the spring is

"Really?" She was surprised, the legendary location, it seems that Jiangning did not expect to know the location.

"Just

"What's the matter?" Cassandra was puzzled.

Jiangning scratched his head, some children used to: "although I know the place, I don't know exactly where the eternal spring is. It's no less difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack to find a legendary spring in the vast mountains without any guide! "

"Oh, what a pity!"

Cassandra seems to be disappointed, and Jiangning is surprised at this. But he soon understood what was going on. Witches are women in the final analysis. Immortality is a great temptation to people. What's more, for a young and beautiful woman, the temptation is more fatal than anything else.

……

A conversation with Cassandra, let Jiangning understand the witch, do not look at the usual high cold appearance. But that's just her disguise. It's a necessary disguise for her survival. Once the disguise is removed temporarily, she is also a normal woman. Besides, this woman is very kind-hearted. She suffered in the face of war. At the same time, it is contradictory. Because, if she wants to survive, she must maintain her due role in front of Manon.

In the same way, I saw the fierce war with my own eyes, how many people were displaced and homeless. Because of her own prophecy, she suffered a lot. She didn't want to. This can be seen from her conversation with Manon.

She opposed Manon's brutal way of ruling and thought that it would not bring long-term stability!

……

Cassandra talked with Jiangning for a long time until Manon told the guards to bring them.

Jiangning and Cassandra looked at each other and knew clearly that Manon was going to attack other tribes. Every time a wizard is summoned, it is necessary to make accurate predictions of every war with the help of the witch's prophecy ability.

This is one of the reasons why Manon's army has been able to win all battles.

……

"Here you are, sit down! We are discussing the strategy of this war! " Manon pointed to the seat below him, which belonged to his two wizards. Only those who are close to God can be equal to kings.

Jiangning and Cassandra looked at each other, then went to their seats and sat down.

"You can start!" Manon orders Cassandra.

Cassandra opened a pair of scrolls, which were made of animal skin and decorated with more than a dozen gems. Cassandra's hands passed over the stones one by one, and then a scene of war suddenly appeared in her mind.

……

"How's it going?"

Cassandra once again returned to the cold, unsmiling state: "your army, this expedition, will win and return!"

Satisfied, Manon stood up and ordered, "do you hear me? Keep the order, and the army will start tomorrow! " My general, please go down to prepare. Manon came to Cassandra, stroked her hair, and even sniffed: "I wish I could achieve my goal earlier, so that I could marry you with the most grand ceremony."

"King, sharing a room with you will make me lose my ability to predict!"

Manon stroked Cassandra's face and looked at the gorgeous face in front of him. There was a strong possessiveness in his eyes: "by then, I won't need witches!" Once the surrounding tribes were unified, the need for witches was no longer important to Manon.

Cassandra is helpless, she can only reluctantly show a smile.

"Rather Manon turned to look at Jiangning.

Jiangning slightly lowered his head and questioned: "please order, king!"

"How about going with me on this expedition?"

"I'm glad to help you, your majesty!"

Hearing Jiangning say so, Manon was very satisfied, and then ordered the people's Congress to hold a banquet, and called a dozen enchanting beauties to accompany him. Of course, Jiangning will not be polite to him. Properly revealing some "weaknesses" can lower the monarch's vigilance.

Too perfect, without desire, but not good! Once the appropriate exposure of weaknesses, or greed, or lust, will make the monarch feel at ease. For this set of play, Jiangning obviously has a set of play!
