Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1491: The Brave New Century 1st
Chapter 1491 Brave New World (9)
"Hey, Mr. Landlord!" Arthur couldn't help but feel a little displeased at the burly man who suddenly came in.
He frowned in annoyance, turned his head and protested, "How many times have I said, you should at least knock on the door before you come in!"
"Oh hehe hehe, you didn't do anything dirty in the room anyway, what are you afraid of?" The landlord burst out laughing, his laughter belonged to the kind of informal and unrestrained laughter of the French middle- and lower-class people: "Or are you really doing something nasty, just covering it up quickly when I pushed the door in?"
Arthur's face elongated: "This is not funny at all."
"Hehehe, whatever~" The burly man took out a letter tightly wrapped in kraft paper from his pocket and threw it on the table in the room: "I have your letter.----- -And as always, the Order of France has once again rejected your application to join the army."
Arthur was angry: "I really can't believe that you opened my letter without authorization!"
"Ahahahaha, anyway, we knew what was written in it from the beginning, so what's the big deal if we take it apart!" Laughing, so angry that Arthur's forehead blue veins pop up. However, in order to integrate into the environment, Arthur had to swallow his voice and was too lazy to care about these people.
"In my opinion, little Aslan, your joining the army is probably out of the question." The landlord walked into the room unceremoniously and put his hand on Arthur's shoulder: "Look at you. This arm, which is thinner than Chaizhi, is looking at your baby face, which is obviously underage. Do you really think the army will let a kid like you join?"
"Anyway, I'll find a way to get in," Arthur said stubbornly. Because sneaking into the French army is the best way for him to get more information quickly.
"Ha, it's very difficult to get it right in one step. After all, such a kid doesn't have any achievements. It's weird that people in the army will look at you." The Mercenary Association is recruiting new people, and their conditions are very relaxed. As long as they are not afraid of death and willing to take risks, they can sign up to participate.------Oh, by the way, I happened to pass by the Mercenary Association, so I will help you along the way. I filled out the registration form and almost forgot to tell you."
"It's asserting itself again." Arthur was blaming the landlord.
"Ahahahahaha, I'll leave the sub-link of the filled-in registration form by the way. If you have time, just follow that address to take a look. Let's go!" The landlord ignored Arthur and walked away. ran away.
"Tell me, are all the Frenchmen of this era so virtuous?" Arthur snorted dissatisfiedly after the landlord left.
"Not all, it's just that Your Majesty, you are being treated badly." Crow Shadow, who was hiding in the shadow of the beam, replied.
"And that guy looks a bit like... the Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens? Is it my illusion?"
"It is this world that has changed your perception, Your Majesty." Merlin replied, "Your Majesty, in your eyes, what do [people] in this world look like?"
Arthur was stunned: "Just a normal person."
"What exactly?"
"That's... a human that evolved from an ape, with hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, nose, and nose... a normal person." Arthur described with difficulty.
"However, I tell Your Majesty that these normal people actually have tentacles on the top of their heads, pointed ears, and protruding fangs in their mouths. Do you believe it, Your Majesty? If I say Your Majesty, you look long now. You have to be like people in this world, do you believe it?"
"Don't be kidding." Arthur suddenly imagined something disgusting.
"Hmm..." Merlin snorted ambiguous and did not answer Arthur's question: "Your Majesty, you have been in this world for a long time, although you have always been out of tune with this world, You reject the world, and the world rejects you, but you will still be influenced by the world to a certain extent.
Your Majesty, the reason why the [people] you see in this world will be the same as the [people] you know is precisely because the world has changed your perception of your Majesty, and their appearance has gradually assimilated with your thoughts , so you look at people in this world and think they look exactly like people in the other world you're in. That's why you think they're descended from monkeys, not something else mixed with elf or demon blood. Your Majesty, the longer you stay in this world, the more you will find that this world is full of your Majesty's familiar faces. What the Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens, the Grand Duke of Hall, even Prince Kay... Hey, maybe even my original face will appear frequently in this world. They may look similar to those you know, but they are completely different people, and I hope your majesty doesn't get you confused. "
"Enough is enough, don't talk nonsense." Arthur hurriedly interrupted Merlin's words, which is really a topic that is extremely thought-provoking. He picked up his weapon, the silver sword without a front, from a simple but clean cot: "Waiting here is not the way, let's go out for a walk. I hope that some mercenary organization can help us. Bring some useful information."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The crow's shadow instantly disappeared into the darkness.
The night in Blois is wrapped in a drizzle, filled with a depraved smell of alcohol and spoiled food. However, under the scouring of the drizzle, the unpleasant smell was gradually diluted and covered up by the more and more intense earthy smell. According to the crooked writing on the registration form, Arthur finally found the so-called mercenary stronghold, but found that it was an ancient and dilapidated stone building, the walls were still made of mud and supported by wood to prevent the house from collapsing of.
The civilization of this world is really low. More than once, Arthur repeated this spit in his heart.
"Is anyone there?" The teenager pushed the door and went in: "I'm here to find a job."
"Oh, oh, newcomer! Welcome!" I didn't expect to meet a middle-aged man who looked a little like Kai: "Sit down. Are you here to join the mercenary? The form has been filled out. Are you? Are you------?"
"Aslan," Arthur replied in a long-prepared tone: "Aslan. Calais."
"Aslan Calais." The middle-aged man rummaged through the notes: "Very well, the form has been filled out. Is your specialty in the form... swordsmanship? I thought you were It will be a stronger boy, but I didn't expect it to be a scrawny child."
Arthur was too lazy to refute the other party, and gave the big man a direct glance.
"It's okay, we don't need to pay attention to that little detail." The big man continued to flip through the notes: "Anyway, the work that will be assigned to you next is not a physical task."
"Oh?" Arthur replied nonchalantly.
"Be the guard of the caravan." The big man even read it according to the notes: "Anyway, there are wars and monsters in the wild recently, so the caravan needs more guards. Don't worry, your job is nothing at all. It's not dangerous, that is, just follow the brigade to walk between the two cities, and rely on the number of people to scare away those monsters. This is the most basic entry-level task for mercenaries."
"Okay, I've accepted this task." The boy replied calmly.
Six hours later.
A group of people took advantage of the night to walk in the dark woods. The only light they could use to guide the way was the dim oil lamps on the caravan's carriage.
Walking on such a dark road, Arthur couldn't help but be extra vigilant. Even though the enemies of this world (from human enemies to beast enemies) are not very dangerous, Arthur knows that if they are ambushed from the dark at such times, the caravan will be in danger. In addition to the six or seven merchants and workers in the caravan who were in charge of transporting goods, he was accompanied by ten mercenaries. However, the mercenaries were all in tattered clothes, and the equipment in their hands was even more rusted and damaged. To put it bluntly, this group of people only relied on the number to scare off all the intruders who might attack the caravan carriage, but if the number of people who came to attack had an advantage, it would be difficult for this group of people to win in the melee.
Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but worry even more.
"Hey, let's take a look~" One of the mercenaries saw Arthur, a newcomer, silently, and began to approach the teenager uninterestedly: "We have a newcomer here, and You're still a little kid. What are you doing here, kid? You don't have enough pocket money at home, so come here to earn extra money?"
After saying this, the rude group of mercenaries began to laugh uncontrollably.
Arthur didn't bother to talk to the group, so let them laugh. He just wants to finish this boring task as soon as possible, and then continue to climb up and accumulate popularity, so as to pave the way for himself to join the French Knights.
However, that nasty **** didn't intend to let Arthur go~IndoMTL.com~ continued to sarcastically say: "Yo, this neat clothes, this clean hair, which aristocratic family is your kid? If you haven't seen the real battlefield, don't take the risk. Otherwise, when the battle happens, you'll be so frightened that you'll make a fool of yourself, don't blame us for not warning you in advance!"
More veins emerged from Arthur's forehead. He really wanted to hack this nasty mercenary to death. But he held back. The dignified King of Great Britain would not care about these little people.
"Is that all you have to say, sir?" Arthur said politely. "Can you take your arm off my shoulder now? The smell of your armpits is a little savory."
Arthur's irony drew laughter from the entire caravan and even the mercenaries.
"Okay," the nerd knew it was boring, so he let go of Arthur and said casually, "I just want to help------"
Pop! ! The mercenary hadn't finished speaking, his head had been pierced by a sharp arrow! Blood dripped on Arthur's face!
"Enemy attack!!" shouted the leader of the mercenary captain: "Prepare for battle!"
