Chapter 211 [Glory is my life]
The queen's place.
This place is just behind the lawn in the Tower of London. This is a row full of medieval style houses, brick and wood mixed architecture.
A steeple with dark brown walls.
In this row of buildings, it seems a bit spooky at night ... especially when the three of Chen Xiaolian just met a female ghost just now.
I rushed into this house. It is not too difficult to find the place where Queen Anne lived. It has already become a cultural relics protection site. For the convenience of tourists, there is even a text introduction.
In the house, the medieval British style is deliberately restored.
When the three of Chen Xiaolian rushed into the house, they deliberately looked here, and then Chen Xiaolian was relieved.
Well, there aren't any things like armored warriors, swords and shields.
According to the sign, Queen Anne lived in the building that year and was said to have been detained on the third floor and the attic.
Into this house, although I only glanced at it in a hurry, Chen Xiaolian couldn't help sighing.
I have to say that Queen Anne was really miserable when she was imprisoned here.
Even by medieval standards, this place of detention is simply too crude. You know, here is a queen under house arrest, who once held a powerful queen.
Narrow windows, dark and wet rooms, dilapidated furniture. Okay, these furniture are said to be restored reproductions based on historical sources.
I have to say that Henry VIII is indeed a very cruel man.
When he loved Queen Anne, in order to marry her, he did not hesitate to oppose all Europe and turned against the Holy See. Hostilities with powerful Spain, the independence of the British Church, affected the process of world religious history.
And then, when he doesn't love this woman anymore. It ’s absolutely unforgiving! Just because this woman was unable to give him a male, she dealt with it mercilessly!
Chen Xiaolian remembers mentioning in the historical materials that he has read.
The Queen Anne was charged with adultery.
Queen Anne likes art in her daily life, so after she was placed under house arrest, many poets and artists with whom she interacted. They were arrested and severely tortured ... Finally, it came to an absurd fact: everyone had to confess and had a relationship with Queen Anne.
Everyone? !! Haha ...
That's it, that Henry VIII didn't feel enough, and even queen Anne was charged with a crime with her brother!
Furthermore, the crime of treason has been committed ... "This British Zhen Yan is really miserable." Chen Xiaolian sighed.
However, she probably didn't know that her biological daughter inherited the throne many years later and was also the greatest queen in British history, Elizabeth I.
"Okay, I'm the head of the group, don't feel bad. Hurry up and find the basement entrance." The spare tire looked at Chen Xiaolian and looked around in a daze there.
Chen Xiaolian came back and joined the ranks of the tire brothers.
It's not easy to find a basement in this house.
To be exact ... they didn't find it!
"Willn't that female ghost lie to us?" Spare scolded.
The area of this first floor is not very large. There is no basement door at all ... if it is a secret passage, such a small place will not be found.
Especially tires, he even checked the fireplace.
The shelves, cabinets, and even the slate on each floor have been beaten hard.
"I can guarantee that the ground here is solid." The tire exhaled and looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Small face. What to do?"
Chen Xiaolian's face is a bit ugly.
Did that queen really play with us?
No! There must be something wrong!
At this time, in the distance, you can hear the roar of a loud dragon from another direction behind the Tower of London!
Chen Xiaolian's face is tight!
"I don't know what happened to Conan." The spare tire grabbed his hair: "He's pretty good-looking. He actually helped us lead the dragon away."
Chen Xiaolian stared at the room carefully, and looked around again.
He suddenly shook his head: "Go, go out!"
Out of the house, the spare tire followed. "What's wrong, chief?"
"We want to get over it." Chen Xiaolian stared somewhere in the dark.
"Uh?"
"You think, this house is used to detain the queen, how can there be a basement? And. Even if there is a basement, when you feel that the queen is being detained, she has the opportunity to swing the guard around her and slip into the basement alone Hide something? "
"... it seems to make sense," the tire nodded.
The spare tire angered: "That female ghost lied to us!"
"No, she should not have lied. It ’s just that we understand her from a different angle." Chen Xiaolian pointed at the house behind him, and drew a circle with his fingers, pointing around: "She said that the last person who lived Place ...
Look, we only heard the literal meaning of this last place of residence, and thought it was the house where she last lived.
However, this is what we ordinary people think. In simple words, it's the silk way of thinking.
But we forgot that she is not an ordinary person, she is a queen, a noble nobleman, and a super white rich beauty.
In her concept, her place is not limited to the house where she sleeps. The supporting facilities next to this house, such as the kitchen, the wood house, the water house, and even the church, are all the supporting facilities of this house ... all of which are her site!
It's like saying that a king said where I live, of course, not just his bedroom, but his entire palace!
So what Queen Anne's way of thinking to understand ... what she said about where she last lived ... refers to a nearby area. Understood by her aristocratic way of thinking, she thinks that all the supporting facilities nearby are her home. "
Speaking, Chen Xiaolian's eyes flickered, his finger pointed at a place, and he uttered a word, "Including ... there!"
In the dark, the tires and spare tires looked in the direction pointed by Chen Xiaolian.
That's ...
A small chapel.
...
"Here is the prisoner, but also the big-name criminals. In the British tradition, because these people are noble, then even if they are criminals, some special treatment will be given. For example ... The small church here is used to pray for senior criminals imprisoned here. Of course, after these criminals are executed, funeral and incineration can be performed in the church. "Chen Xiaolian said slowly:" So say. This is a private chapel ... I think Queen Anne must have regarded this private chapel as one of the places where she lives.
After a pause, Chen Xiaolian slowly said, "Under what circumstances do you think Queen Anne can hide from the guard's eyes when hiding ...?
"Did you mean ... when going to church to pray?" The tire eyes were also lit.
"Western people pay great attention to religion. When praying and repenting, no one nearby will bother ... Maybe at this time, Queen Anne may ask the guard to leave her temporarily. She also only has At this time, you have the opportunity to do some small moves. "Chen Xiaolian quickly said.
"What are you waiting for! Come in and see!" The spare tire ran towards the chapel quickly.
This church is really very small indeed.
A typical Norman building.
Come in at night, the church is dark, and the small windows don't provide any light. Under the beam of a tactical flashlight, I barely saw the scene here.
It's very small, about the size of an ordinary middle school classroom ... maybe even smaller.
It also stands a large circle of round stone pillars, which occupy a part of the space.
The height is quite impressive, almost as high as a three-story building with a rounded roof.
Between round stone pillars. An arch was formed.
In general, standing in this church, you will feel a bit depressed and solemn.
"Spread it out!" Chen Xiaolian said, and the spare tire immediately separated and searched toward both ends.
Chen Xiaolian walked forward from the aisle in the middle of the church and looked at the idol placed in front, as well as the candlestick and ritual. A square stone jar is probably used to hold holy water, but it has dried up.
Chen Xiaolian glanced at the idol above and looked around.
(If there is a basement. Then in the past few hundred years, it should have been discovered by later people. Even if the sword in the stone is hidden in it, I am afraid it will be taken away by later people ... but the system should Will give this result.
So ...)
Chen Xiaolian's heart moved!
No. Not a basement in the ordinary sense!
Queen Anne speaks English, she speaks r!
You know, in English, there are two words in the basement.
One is r. One is ba color ment.
The latter meaning is more formal. Generally speaking, it describes the kind of room on the ground floor with a formal room structure.
The word r is relatively small, in general. May be described as a wine cellar, cellar.
In English, you dig a pit under the house, which can also be said to be r!
And Queen Anne is talking about r, then ...
"Tire!"
Chen Xiaolian drank, and the tire ran from the left side of the church: "What's wrong?"
"Did you find anything?"
"... Nothing." The tire tone was anxious: "I found a prayer room but nothing."
"Don't look for it, I think I might have guessed something!"
...
The church also has a cellar.
Although very small.
This is used to store red wine.
Wine is often used as a utensil for mass.
So many churches stock some wine for use.
This church is small, but there is also a place to store wine, although this wine cellar is really very small!
In a room on the side of the church, the entrance to the wine cellar is on the wall, as long as a small arch is opened ... but the entrance is less than one meter high, and only half of a person can climb inside body.
In other words, you ca n’t even walk upright in it. The stored wine is only a few wooden barrels ... Of course, now it is empty and nothing.
This is certainly not a regular basement.
It's really just a small wine cellar dug out of the ground. I'm afraid the space is not much larger than a bathtub.
"Come on."
Chen Xiaolian handed the tomahawk into the tyre's hand, and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll go and see, you're guarding."
The tyre handed the tactical flashlight to Chen Xiaolian's hand: "Be careful. If there is anything wrong, yell, we will drag you out."
Chen Xiaolian nodded.
He leaned down and crawled down.
This underground cave is really small. Chen Xiaolian can barely crawl on his knees, and his depth is less than two meters.
Even he just stretched his legs. You can stretch your feet outside.
Of course it's very dirty here, the dust is extremely thick, and the spider web is as thick as a silk quilt!
The dirt on the ground smells of decay!
Chen Xiaolian bit his tactical flashlight in his mouth and tried to climb to the end.
The walls of the cellar are still stone, only the ground is dirt.
But Chen Xiaolian carefully looked around on the wall for a while. He shone through almost every brick with a flashlight.
Two minutes later, he finally found out!
Under a few stone bricks in the front left corner, the apparent height and other deviations.
It was as if it had been drawn out recently, but it was plugged back in, but not in place.
Chen Xiaolian immediately digs in the mud under this corner with his bare hands!
He's right!
...
"Pull me out!"
Chen Xiaolian's voice came from the cellar. The tyre immediately lay down with his cat on his waist. Then he looked at the cellar. The tyre grabbed his legs and finally pulled him out strongly.
Looking at Chen Xiaolian's dark face. The tire couldn't help but smile: "How's the air inside?"
"It's just as good as the tone of the spare tire when you don't brush your teeth in the morning." Chen Xiaolian answered with a smile.
"Hey!" Spare tires are afraid: "Do n’t you make fun of me? Do n’t you have good teeth when you don't brush your teeth in the morning!"
"Okay, see what you find?" The tire's eyes looked into Chen Xiaolian's hands.
This is ... a long box.
A stone box!
About one meter long ...
Only seeing this length, Chen Xiaolian frowned suddenly: "No ... the legendary sword in the stone, but a knight's sword is right."
If Shi Zhongjian is in this box ... that's not long enough.
"Open it and talk." The tire shook his head.
Chen Xiaolian put the stone box on the ground and rubbed the dirt with it.
The box is a push-top style with a hidden slot inside.
After wiping off the dirt, Chen Xiaolian found that a sentence was actually engraved on the stone box.
Obviously. It was carved with a small sharp tool ... probably a knife or dagger.
"God will prove and return me innocent!"
After Chen Xiaolian read it again, he sighed.
Don't ask, this sentence must be ... Queen Anne's left.
It seems that when this queen was imprisoned. For the crimes like adultery and treason that were planted on her head, she was very dissatisfied and unjust.
"Poor woman." Chen Xiaolian sighed and pushed open the lid of the stone box.
Rough friction, when the lid of the box is pushed away ...
Chen Xiaolian, the spare tire looks in this box ... is stuck.
"Fuck! Sure enough, I was cheated !!!" The spare tire burst into a roar!
In the stone box. There is no sword.
It's ...
A truncated sword.
No, to be precise, it's just a hilt.
"That female ghost !!! I want to ..." The spare tire eyes widened angrily and yelled: "Where's this **** sword in the stone !! Just a hilt !!!"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Xiaolian said, "Listen to me first ..."
"Head, we've been tricked!" Beitai said indignantly.
"Shut up! Listen to the little face!" The tyre slapped on the spare tire's head.
"............" The spare tire closed her mouth helplessly, looking at Chen Xiaolian, but found that Chen Xiaolian's face was not disappointed or frustrated, but a look of surprise ... It was just a surprise, but it seemed to bring With a hint of doubt.
"She didn't play us. We didn't make a mistake." Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath: "This is the sword in the stone!"
"Yes ..."
"In the legend, the sword in the stone is indeed a broken sword! Well, to be precise, it was indeed broken."
After listening to Chen Xiaolian's words, Beitai glared and said, "How is it possible? Isn't it the King's Sword? Since it's called the King's Sword, it must be extremely Niucha! Such a Niucha weapon. How can it be broken? ?! "
Chen Xiaolian looked at the spare tire and then looked at the tire. He also had doubts in the eyes of the tire.
Chen Xiaolian exhaled: "You probably haven't fully understood the story of King Arthur and Shi Zhongjian."
Let's say it, in legend. This guy named Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, which is indeed legendary.
But to be precise, the sword in the stone is not the "Sword of the King".
It's "Choose King's Sword".
In other words, who can pull the purple sword? Is the lover of Fairy Zixia ...
Ah! !! This Nima is the supreme treasure journey westward ...
Who can pull this sword out of the stone is the king chosen by heaven.
So it's called "Choose King's Sword".
But this sword was indeed broken in Arthur's hands.
The function of this sword is that the holder can ... gain immortal power. Keep the magic of youth!
But from a sharp point of view ... it doesn't seem to be so reliable. This sword is more symbolic than actual combat.
In legend, Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone and became the king chosen by heaven.
But once, he was in a battle ... the opponent is a powerful guy and I won't say it.
In short, in the legend, King Arthur and this guy played fiercely three games.
In all three games, there is no comparison sword, but rather marksmanship (seems a bit evil?)
King Arthur lost in Game 3. So the king was very upset. I pulled out the sword that I thought was a big killer to kill the opponent. This is tantamount to zooming in.
In the end, this big move was not completed, but was abused.
The sword in the stone was cut off by the opponent!
According to legend, it is because God believed that the battle between King Arthur and the other party was unjust, and King Arthur violated the spirit of the knight. So let the sword in the stone be broken to give King Arthur a warning.
"... Well, this is the general legend. So many people who do n’t know the legend of Shi Zhongjian. I don't know ... Shi Zhongjian was indeed broken in the future." Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "Of course Now, in the legend, King Arthur later got a more powerful sword, that sword is sharper and stronger than the sword in the stone. The actual combat is stronger, that is why King Arthur later held invincible weapons all over the world.
So, Shi Zhongjian is actually just a symbol of power that is more symbolic than actual combat.
It's not as powerful as everyone thinks. "
Chen Xiaolian said here, picked up the hilt and looked.
Although I do n’t know how many years, the hilt of this sword seems to be covered with thick rust. Holding it in my hands, the rough feeling is very uncomfortable.
"This should be the hilt of the sword in the stone." Chen Xiaolian sighed: "Anyway ... this should be what we are looking for ..."
He just finished talking ...
[System prompt: You have found the quest item required by the random quest. Please leave this item with this item! Leaving the Tower of London area and successfully retaining the items without loss will be considered complete. 】
"Sure enough!" Chen Xiaolian's spirits refreshed!
But then, a movement in his heart ...
Do you not lose it?
Does the system mean ... someone will take it?
I thought of it here, all of a sudden, the faces of all three people changed!
A voice came from the church hall!
That's a heavy footstep!
And as the voice approached, a candlelight flickered.
A figure, clutching his body, wearing a shabby and dirty monk's robe, with his head and face down, holding a candle in his hand, slowly approached by the flickering flame come!
This figure suddenly appeared from the church without warning. !!
When this figure came to within three meters of the three, he looked up.
An old face is like dried orange peel, cloudy old eyes, and fingers are like chicken feet ...
This guy is almost as old as falling down anytime.
But in those murky old eyes, under the candlelight, a sharp light burst out!
"Let's ... put down that sacred artifact ... this, this is not something you should touch."
The hoarse voice is like the sound from a broken bellows.
Chen Xiaolian waited for three people!
No one knows where this old monk came from.
Chen Xiaolian subconsciously held the hilt of the sword and tried to put it in the storage watch ... but failed.
I was prompted by the system: This item cannot be stored temporarily!
Damn it!
Chen Xiaolian's eyes jumped!
Obviously, although the old monk in front of him looks dying, it will never be so simple.
"What if you don't let it go?" Chen Xiaolian, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, inserted it firmly into his belt, while clenching the fearless battle axe handed from the tire hand.
"The stealing of the holy relic is a capital punishment ..." The old monk slowly bent down and put the candle on the ground in front of him.
But after he put the candle on the ground, and then slowly stood upright ...
Weird things happened!
His original stupid body suddenly straightened his back!
His height is suddenly much taller!
At this moment, the old monk took a deep breath, sighed softly from his mouth, and read a sentence.
"Glory is my life!"
…………
【Presumably everyone can guess who this old monk is.
A monthly pass! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! 】
