Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1910: The Iron Maiden (28)
Chapter 1910 Iron Maiden (twenty-eight)
About ten minutes later, the people on Arthur's fishing boat were taken to the warship for questioning.
"What did you guys do just now? I actually heard the sound of an explosion!" The captain said, "Are you a spy sent by France?!"
As soon as Arthur frowned, he knew it was going to be this way. The battle with the Red Death Monster just now was too flamboyant. That explosion, that fight, can be heard by ships ten nautical miles away!
"I'm the captain of the fifth division of the Holy See Crusade, Goff." Captain Goff took out something like an envoy's document and handed it to the captain of the British Navy: "We have an official business to do in the UK this time. , and has been approved."
"Of course, of course." The captain didn't even open the file to take a closer look, he shoved the file back to Goff. Obviously, the British did not dare to provoke the Holy See. The Holy See was very powerful, not to mention the famous Crusaders.
"But what about you?" The captain turned to look at Arthur again: "A kid? He doesn't look like a crusader. What did you plan to do when you smuggled into England by boat in the fog?" Are you a spy from France?"
"Nonsense!" At this time, Arthur said with a very authentic and fluent British accent, a little arrogantly: "I just returned to my own country. Do I need a reason to return?"
Arthur was actually a Briton 900 years ago, and despite his authentic tone, the Old English he used was still slightly different from today's English. But this did not prevent him from posing in front of people, because there are still quite a few nobles in England who still use Old English to highlight their extraordinary status.
Hearing Arthur's authentic old English, the British captain suddenly cowards: "You are...? But... Where are you from? What family? "
"London. As for the family, let's not mention it. It's a family that was destroyed by vampires, not a famous family. If you still doubt, you can ask the Melson Brotherhood to confirm." Arthur took out the Brotherhood The mark of the All-Seeing Eye, placed in front of the opponent.
"Is Your Excellency a member of the Brotherhood------" Obviously the captain is further cowardly.
"This Lord Aslan is a famous vampire hunter~~~" Crusader Peyton cut in. The sarcasm in it, but the British army could not hear it.
"Vampire hunter. Then... well, although this is against the rules, I won't go too deep into the Brotherhood." The captain then let go: "I don't want anything. Asked. Our boat will **** you adults to Penzance Harbor, and then you can move freely."
"Sir------" A sailor came over at this time and muttered a few words in the ear of the British captain.
"Oh?" After listening, the captain secretly glanced at Arthur, and then muttered: "It's really a bit like..."
"Any questions?" Arthur couldn't help but ask a little unhappily.
"Oh, no, not at all," the British captain replied hesitantly: "It's just that the Admiral wants to see your Excellency. This matter is very important. If you are not too busy, please go to see you. Lord Admiral, are you okay?"
"The Admiral means, Admiral Penzance?" Goff, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help saying.
"Why is Admiral Penzance looking for me for something? I don't know him." The more Arthur looked, the more and more he felt that the captain's expression was full of strangeness, but he had no idea what was going on.
He only had a vague feeling that he might be involved in some troublesome political struggle because of his youthful appearance. This invitation may not be a good thing, maybe it would be more appropriate not to go to the appointment.
No. But Arthur thought about it. It seems that there is nothing to be afraid of, and it can even be said that it is exactly what he wants.
Arthur returned to England for the purpose of assassinating the current King of England, Henry VI, who is currently less than eight years old.
After he arrived in England, it is reasonable to follow the lead of the Brotherhood to enter the upper class step by step, and finally get the opportunity to meet the King of England. But if he kills with one hand, in addition to putting himself in great danger, he will also bring trouble to the Myerson Brotherhood. On top of that, the time it takes to do so will be very long, maybe months, maybe even a year.
And now, since Admiral Penzance took the initiative to ask to see him, Arthur may be able to rely on the admiral's relationship to speed up his time to see the King of England. Moreover, after he assassinated the young king in this way, he would cause trouble, and he would also point the finger at Admiral Penzance, who was in contact with Arthur at first, and the Myerson Brotherhood would be next.
This is the easiest and most straightforward way to cause civil unrest in England, killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
"Ow." Bedivere, who was beside Arthur, let out a low growl. The big white wolf has almost guessed King Arthur's thoughts. After all, he is one of the people who know Arthur best in the world.
The former King of Great Britain is now plotting to mess up the UK, just to bring back the Queen of Great Britain. All this is really ironic.
But this is a different world 900 years after Arthur and the others were in. It is a parallel world. King Arthur didn't care about the life and death of England in this world.
Another hour has passed, the port of Penzance.
"Then let's just say goodbye here." Captain Goff took his Crusaders and was about to leave.
"Goodbye (Kama), goodbye." Arthur replied politely.
"Then," a soldier from the British army has come to show Arthur the way: "If you are free, please come with me."
"Yes," Arthur said quietly. All he can think about now is how to turn the whole of England upside down as soon as possible.
Speaking of which------
Arthur looked around and took a look at the environment of the port city of Penzance.
The morning clouds dissipated, but in this port city, there was a depression. There are many ancient stone buildings, and the ancient castle belonging to the admiral in the distance is also magnificent, but the city itself is built with a large number of dilapidated wooden houses, which can not help but feel like a slum at first glance.
Arthur told himself not to be too picky, after all, the situation in France was not that good, and only a few big cities could see it. Nine hundred years later, the photonic civilization of this different world is extremely low, and even science is still in the stage of enlightenment. It is already a very remarkable thing for people here to build houses out of wood and stone.
Still...isn't the city too bleak?
It's getting late. Arthur can probably tell from the height of the sun that it was around nine o'clock in the morning. This kind of time should be the time when civilians come out to work to earn money and work hard for a living. But Arthur walked all the way down, but there were no people in the whole port city. The thin people are scary enough, but the most scary thing is the tiredness on the faces of the people who came out to work in the morning. They looked bored, as if they were no longer interested in everything in the world, and they just lived like walking dead.
A port city can be depressed to such an extent, isn't it worse for an inland city?
Britain and France in the Hundred Years' War are actually fighting an uncontrolled war of resource consumption. The invaded France was in dire straits, and England, which had invaded France, was not much better. The result is this look, the British mainland has been exhausted, and the people are struggling.
"Wow!" Bedivere yelled, dragging Arthur from his musings back to reality. Before he knew it, he had followed the soldier to the Admiral's castle.
"Sorry, your dog can't go in." Arthur was about to enter the gate, but the soldiers blocked Bedivere.
"Beddy, wait for me here." Arthur said, "If I haven't come out for too long, you will..."
He didn't go on, he knew Bedivere understood what he meant.
"Wow!" The big white wolf agreed, and he seemed to understand.
"Then, this way please." The soldier led Arthur into the castle.
Now that he's alone again, he's a little nervous. He had come to this castle to see Admiral Penzance, but he knew nothing about this admiral. If possible, he certainly hopes that the Admiral can help him and let him meet the current young British King Henry VI in a short period of time; but if things don't go well, what about just talking about it here? Then Arthur is likely to have to take more detours to meet Henry VI.
The worst case scenario would be to anger the Lord Admiral. Then Arthur is very likely to need to open a killing ring to face the entire city's forces.
He didn't know what the other party wanted to see him. He could only hope that the other party didn't appear in front of him with bad intentions.
It didn't take long to walk. It should be said that the structure of this castle is relatively simple, and the road is not long. Arthur soon came to a richly decorated red gate. The soldier motioned Arthur to go in. Admiral Penzance should be waiting in this room.
Arthur pushed the door carefully and entered, intending to greet the people in the room as soon as he came up. However, the moment he saw the other party, he was suddenly stunned.
Because, Admiral Penzance looks amazingly similar to Grand Duke Hall!
"You are..." Although Arthur was very surprised~IndoMTL.com~, he quickly took the surprise to the bottom of his heart and regained his composure: "Admiral Penzance, right? "
"It's down." The Admiral was sitting on his leather sofa, talking to Arthur across the desk. He waved his hand: "please sit down, that------"
"Aslan." Arthur then gave himself a name, even though it was a pseudonym from the start.
"It's a pleasure meeting, Mr. Aslan. It's a pleasure meeting." The Admiral kept staring at Arthur as he spoke.
Although looking at the other person during a conversation is a basic courtesy in England, Admiral Penzance's attention to Arthur does make Arthur very uncomfortable.
"Is there something dirty on my face? Why do you keep staring at me, Admiral?" The boy couldn't help but ask.
"No, there's no such thing." The Admiral muttered, "Well...it looks like it..."
