Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2270: The King of Puppets (21)

Chapter 2270 The King of Puppets (21)

There was no expression on Arthur's face when he saw the name Earl of Warwick, although there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.

"Is this going to call me to see the Earl of Warwick?" He asked slightly sarcastically, "Maybe I'll do something (kill) the moment I see him?"

"No, you won't." Duke Sirnante said, "He is the shadow king of this country, the one who secretly controls everything. The United Kingdom is united as a group, and barely maintains the rule of this country. Despite his recent defeats in the Anglo-French war, I have to admit that he still has a certain ability. This old fox is not only wily, but also very shrewd. . Even if you go to see him with this letter of introduction now, I doubt that you can see his deity. It is very likely that the person who appears in front of you is just a stand-in. If you do anything at will, you will not only make If I fall into the calamity of killing myself, it will also involve me who introduced you to him. So, think carefully before you start."

"So it is. There is a truth to this statement." Arthur said: "So...?"

"Be patient, young man." The Duke smiled indifferently, took another puff of cigarette, and said slowly between his breaths: "It's too early for you to meet the real Earl of Warwick now. But always There will be opportunities. What you need is his knowledge and trust in you. The more prestige you build up in front of him and other lords and nobles, so that they understand that you have the power to be a king, even if No matter how deep the city is, the old fox Richard Beecham will definitely not be able to resist coming to meet you in person in the end.------Hey, maybe things will develop in a better direction? Maybe He eventually had to admit that you were a better king, and then deposed the young king Henry VI and elected you as the new king of England?"

It would be nice if things were that simple. Arthur thought. But he also knew that this was just Duke Hirnante's words fooling him. The Earl of Warwick will not simply give up the power he has already acquired, and it is much easier to control a child than a "promising youth" like Arthur. The Earl will not depose the current young King Henry VI, go to Nominate Arthur as king. Even if he elected Arthur as king, Earl of Warwick is still the shadow king who is manipulating the country behind his back. Arthur, who has no real power, will eventually have to compete with Earl of Warwick. From his hands Take back power. Moreover, in order to avoid future troubles, even if Arthur became king, Henry VI was bound to die.

This is the truth. At least according to Arthur's conjecture, that is exactly what Duke Sirnant thought.

Arthur himself doesn't matter. He has no interest in the regime of this country in this era. He was originally the king of Great Britain, the king of this country nine hundred years ago. All he has to do now is to assassinate all the current British powers, plunge the country into chaos, then end the war of aggression against France, and liberate Joan of Arc from the **** war quagmire.

King Arthur doesn't care about Britain in another world nine hundred years later. All he cared about was taking back his queen Greenville.

Arthur looked at Duke Sirnante thoughtfully, and Duke Sirnante looked at Arthur thoughtfully, each thinking about it.

"Anyway, let's find a horse first." The Duke said, "Considering that you are going to London next, and you have to perform in front of the nobles, it is not appropriate to take a rented carriage. It's even worse to go on foot."

"I have Bedi." Arthur hummed without thinking.

"Are you talking about the wolf? Are you serious?" Duke Sirnant almost couldn't help laughing: "Stop it. Although it is a sturdy wolf, it is only a beast after all. You will be laughed at by the nobles. You should at least find a better horse. There are dozens of war horses in the stables of my castle that can be called at any time. Except for the ones with golden saddles, you You can choose at will. You can choose one."

"Okay." Arthur didn't intend to be polite to Duke Sirnante, and nodded. However, in fact, these ordinary war horses are not worthy of Arthur at all, and they will only drag their feet in the battle, which is useless at all. The "mountain" that can really be ridden in fierce battles is the "big white wolf" that Duke Sirnante despised, Bedivere.

Mortals like them wouldn't understand.

"One more thing," the Duke explained suddenly: "His Majesty Henry VI came last night."

"What?"

"It seems that the Earl of Warwick encouraged him behind his back to let His Majesty Henry VI patrol his own country and visit each lord's territory. Because you were out last night until late at night, I did not send Someone has gone to inform you." The Duke explained: "And you have no need to see His Majesty, nor do you have the qualifications at present."

"Fair enough," Arthur hummed.

"Your Majesty, he's already on his way back to London in his carriage, and maybe you'll bump into his carriage somewhere along the way. But—and I don't need to say more— --Please don't do anything to His Majesty. Now, it's not the time."

"I won't do it without you saying more." Arthur snorted. He had met Henry VI in Penzance before, and Arthur didn't even know that the curious child was the current King of England. When he knew the identity of the child, he also thought of killing, but Admiral Penzance persuaded Arthur to stop Arthur for the same reason: "It's not the time yet".

Because it's just a puppet king, so what if you kill it. Instead of uprooting the true shadow king, the Earl of Warwick, and the entire shadow regime behind him, they can find more puppet kings.

In short, it is not so simple to bring a well-established country into turmoil. Arthur has to admit that he thought everything too simple before, or he believed in his own ability and political charm. In order to bring this country into turmoil, Arthur still has to do it step by step, starting from the most basic, like piercing the cornerstone of a huge castle bit by bit, gradually shaking this incomparably huge state institution. Although Arthur was in a hurry, it was useless to be anxious, and he told himself to be patient.

Just like that, it was noon when Arthur picked a handsome white horse from the stable and was about to set off for London. He simply rode back to the hotel to meet Verne and the others.

"Wow, you actually rode Snowhoof out. You have a lot of face." Verne obviously knew the horse in the castle where he stayed, and said to Arthur as soon as he got up: "The Duke Are you willing to lend you this horse? Could it be stolen?"

"It's not a loan, it's a gift." Arthur said indifferently: "This will be my horse from now on."

"Amazing ah ah ah ah! I'm so envious ah ah ah ah ah ------" Verne almost went crazy: "Can I ride it? It'll be fine in a while."

"Okay, stinky brat. But I'll be riding a horse, you ride a wolf, understand?" Arthur snorted, jumping off his horse, and giving Bedivere a thoughtful look at the same time. He seemed to feel the vinegar smell coming from the big white wolf.

"Of course, hehehe------" The little devil climbed up on the horse's back, the white horse was very docile, and Verne jumped and barked on its back without any response. There was even a faint disdain on his face, as if to say: stupid human.

Arthur wanted to laugh, but couldn't help it.

"By the way, can you fight on horseback? Can you teach me the skills of riding and shooting?" Verne asked again: "I tried aiming with a bow and crossbow on the back of a wolf dog before, but I couldn't master it at all. The trick, it feels like it's impossible to hit anything."

"I'm not very proficient in riding and archery." Arthur thought for a while. In fact, he had quite a lot of experience in shooting with a gun on a dragon cavalry. Shooting with a bow and arrow on this kind of horseback is another matter. The same thing, the two worldviews are completely different.

"Although I'm not proficient, I can accompany you to practice. Anyway, we are going to London soon. How about hunting along the way?"

"Okay, let's try it." Verne jumped off his horse and ran to Bedivere. His light bow and crossbow were all hanging on the wolf's backpack, and this kid even took it for granted.

"Yeah." Arthur didn't say much. The hotel attendants had already taken their luggage. He hung the luggage on the saddle and jumped onto the horse's back: "Let's go. If we move faster. , I should be able to get to Sheffield before it gets dark today. Well... it doesn't matter if you can't make it, anyway, I have brought a tent for camping."

Sure enough, it's good to have a horse, and there is no pressure to bring twice as much luggage. If it's all up to Bedivere, that guy must have a lot of opinions.

And just like that, Arthur and Verne went out of town together. In fact, going out like this is quite imposing, not to mention Arthur riding a handsome white horse, even Verne, who is an adjutant (servant), has a mount to ride. Generally speaking, other high-status knights can't even match their servants with horses. It is normal for the servants to run behind the knights with two legs, but it often delays the speed of travel.

Of course, this time they went out not only to go to London, but they also planned to go hunting along the way, and fully enjoy the fun of safari while practicing riding and archery. Therefore, Arthur didn't rush the horse very impatiently from the beginning, but let the horse roam in the woods next to the road at a normal speed that hardly tires, but never far from the road.

Verne also rode the great white wolf Bedivere (more likely led by Bedivere rather than directing him) to follow Arthur's horse, raising *left and right along the way Aiming, I looked at all kinds of foxes and rabbits in the forest, but I couldn't make a move.

"Aren't you going to practice horseback shooting? Why don't you shoot?" Arthur asked when the sky darkened a bit. He had planned to hunt some game, so he could make a campfire and eat barbecue tonight.

"I always feel...there is no such thing as an eye-catching prey~IndoMTL.com~ Verne tilted his head and said.

Arthur's face grew long: "Don't worry about it, in short, shoot a few rabbits to see."

"But------" The kid was aiming everywhere with a crossbow. He wanted to say something, but suddenly saw a shadow approaching Arthur's side at a very fast speed, and exclaimed: "Be careful!!"

"What?!" Arthur raised his bow to aim, but the fast shadow was already very close to him! Oops! A shadow of such a size is approaching at this speed and will be knocked flying! Arthur rolled away from the horse without thinking!

And just as his toes touched the ground, there was a swooshing sound next to him. After the whistling sound like a gust of wind, Arthur's mount was actually taken away by a behemoth!

Arthur looked at the huge red shadow in the sky from a distance.
