It is a great progress in itself. "
The story of sand dunes has developed further. After sizing up the situation, the Halek brothers and his army, who were rescued by smugglers, finally chose to be loyal to the smugglers in order to get revenge on the Duke of Harkonan. On the other hand, Ritter Keynes, who was ordered to be executed, was thrown into the desert by soldiers and died. Through his memory before his death, we know a method to change the landform and living environment of sand dunes. This method has been continuously used by Keynes's father, the last generation of sand dune ecologists, and changed the whole earth very slowly.
Paul and Jessica finally came to Freeman's territory through Gusha. Here they met Freeman's second in command: Staiger, and Ritter's daughter Cheney. With Beni's fighting skills and Freeman's prediction of destiny's child, Jessica successfully won a promise for herself and her son to shelter them in Freeman's territory. After absorbing spices, Paul's language ability reappeared. However, among the countless roads leading to the future he saw, most of the fate waiting for him was a corpse pierced by a sharp knife. ...
At this point in the story, Cui Di's troops were scattered and re-divided into various areas of sand dunes. Du Fei Harvatt of Harkonan, Goni Halek, loyal to the smuggler, and Paul and Jessica who came to Freeman's territory. Paul and Jessica will undoubtedly win a place for themselves in Freeman's territory through superb fighting skills and religious predictions, and lead Freeman people to change sand dunes and destroy Hakonan's plot in the future.
When they first entered Freeman's territory, Steagall was ordered by Keynes to look for Paul only, and Jessica's only value in Freeman's eyes was the "water of life" in her body. It was Jessica who defeated Steiger with Beni Jess Park Jung Su's fighting skills, which made Freeman people see the value of her existence and made a contract to protect them. Imagine that if Jessica were just an ordinary woman, she would have died many times on this dangerous planet. However, as the duke's wife, she didn't become an accessory of the duke, but used what she had learned to save the day in many crises. This reminds me of an old saying, "It is better to help yourself than to ask for help". Only when you have a strong enough ability will this ability become your own capital and give you shelter in times of crisis.
The second is a new role: Cheney. As the daughter of Ritter, she occupies an important position in the book. Here I make an association: Ritter Keynes, the present leader of freemen, and Paul Cui Di, the future leader of freemen. After Keynes's death, Cheney's identity undoubtedly became more sensitive. In the future, Paul Cui Di is likely to combine with Cheney to consolidate his position among Freemen, which is also an important part of the sincere cooperation between Cui Di and Freeman. As can be seen from the description in the book, Freeman's combat capability is no less than that of the Royal Army's Sagan. Therefore, having the power of Freeman as a duke is equivalent to occupying an absolute position in the sand dunes and having the capital to fight against Hakonam and Sadoka.
Later, Jessica and Paul who entered Freeman's territory were granted asylum, but one of them, Jamie from Freeman, challenged Paul. Paul completed his first kill of 15 through the combat experience accumulated since childhood, thus gaining the recognition of freemen and having his own name in the territory of freemen: Yuso, also known as Paul Muadib. On the other hand, Du Fei Harvatt has been captured by Harkonan, and Feder Rosa Harkonan, as the quasi-heir of Baron Harkonan, fought slaves in the first arena of Harkonan, which is regarded as the completion of the ceremony of quasi-heir. At the same time, Count Finren and his wife Beni Jesserit were also invited. They seemed to be interested in Fidel Rosa, the future heir of Baron Haakonan. ...
After reading 400 pages, I combed the complex relationship between various forces in the book again. Emperor Padisha and the Duke of Leto are cousins. However, Hakonam's action to kill Cui Di was secretly intentional by the emperor: Sadoka's army disguised as Hakonam and sneaked into the sand dunes to kill. After the sand dune war, the Cui Di family was destroyed, and the territorial sovereignty of Elacos returned to Hakonan again. Lars Hakonam will become the new owner of Irakos, representing Hakonam's forces to exercise power in the sand dunes and desperately squeeze all the interests of the sand dunes. The emperor seemed to be afraid of Harkonan, so he sent his own Count Finren to attend the ceremony of Baron Harkonan's succession, warning Baron Harkonan about the sand dunes, and warning Baron to give up the idea of overthrowing the emperor's rule through Lanzled and unite all families. Finally, the conversation between the count and his wife seems to show some thoughts about Fidel Rosa, but I haven't figured out what it means to let Fidel Rosa's flesh enter my uterus. However, Beni Jesse Ritter is a magical existence in this book. Only unexpected, they can't do it.
Speaking of Benijes Park Jung Su, it seems that everyone from the Benijes Park Jung Su Sisterhood is forbidden to have boys after marrying the upper class. In the first index, the Iranian princess revealed this order (Emperor Padisha has no son, which seems to be the most cruel thing in imperial power), perhaps because there is a certain chance that the boy born to Benijes Park Jung Su will be Quesadak, but all those who have tried this way have failed. Ms Jessica didn't obey this order. She gave birth to Paul for the duke, and it turned out that Paul was probably Jedrak. Whether Jessica wants to leave an heir for her beloved duke, or whether she is lucky enough to expect that she may give birth to Jadraque, is unnecessary to explore.
Paul was born with a purpose, and Jessica raised Paul from an early age in the way of Beni Jess Park Jung Su. At the end of this chapter, Paul thinks: "My mother is my enemy. Although I learned all my knowledge from her, she caused a holy war. " This has something to do with the future that Paul saw in his prophecy: death, or fanatical soldiers following the flag of Cui Di, shouting that "burning and looting in the universe has a clear meaning of Muad 'dib". He tried his best to avoid such a future, but at present, everything is still on the predetermined track.
