Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2281: Interleaved Fate (1)
Chapter 2281 Staggered Fate (1)
"It's too late!" When Arthur returned to the original departure point, Arthur saw that Verne had climbed up the tree obediently and waited, and when he saw Arthur and the others came back, he immediately complained unhappily: " I've been waiting in the tree all night, and I've been smashed by mosquitoes! Where have you all gone to play?!"
"There were a lot of incidents along the way." Arthur replied dispassionately, with no intention of apologizing to Verne: "Anyway, the replacement horse has been found. Let's go. Before midnight, we have to to Sheffield."
"Okay." Verne nimbly climbed down from the tree, patted off the moss and other dirty things on his body, and said unhappily, "Even if you just sleep in the stable, it is better than sleeping in the tree. I've had enough of the mosquitoes here!"
He took another look at Arthur's horse: "It's not our horse. Where did the wild horse come from? It looks a little weird..."
"The one I just caught is a very rare mountain horse. Hmm... It's important to be on your way, don't ask for the details." Arthur said it. At first, he was a little worried that Hyosung's transformation would be revealed by Verne in an instant. After all, Verne's eyesight is amazing, maybe he has reached the level of someone who has practiced Hawkeye. But the night was so dark, and Verne was the kind of little devil who had never seen the world, and it seemed that he could easily fool around.
"But where are we going?" Verne didn't delve further, jumping on the back of Bediveville's wolf: "This direction is not the direction of the road to Sheffield?"
"Well, let's take a detour first." Arthur didn't analyze it in detail, but lit the torches and let the horses and wolves gallop through the woods. Originally, he didn't even want to light the torch, it was too ostentatious to drive the torch at night. But you have to bring something to illuminate, otherwise, after a while, you will rush over to find the carriage that the young king Henry VI is riding in, and you will immediately be regarded as a suspicious person and attacked by the guards. The flame of the torch was swaying constantly under the galloping dragon horse that Arthur was riding, and it was almost in danger of being blown out.
For the sake of etiquette or something more trivial and ridiculous, humans have to do such superfluous behavior, which is probably ridiculous in the eyes of dragons. Arthur glanced at Hyosung, but didn't say it.
They don't take the road, they go all out in the mountains and forests, walking almost in a straight line. Relying on Bedivere's nose to determine the direction, he ran wildly to a place where there was a faint smell of people and carriages in the distance. Then Arthur saw from a distance that a carriage turned off the road and fell into the ravine. It was already tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, and the two wheels on the right were completely sunk into the gap between the rocks and mud in the ravine. A group of guards were busy pushing there, pushing very hard, trying to push the tipped carriage away from the predicament. Unfortunately, the carriage for the King of England was still a bit over-decorated, with gold and silver inlaid in several places on the carriage. With so many redundant decorations, how could the carriage not be heavy, and how could it be possible to simply get out of the predicament when it was so heavy?
"Who?!" Seeing someone approaching on a horse, a guard near the carriage shouted alertly.
At that time, Arthur and his party had slowed down, and Arthur was still holding the torch high and approaching dignifiedly. But Arthur was still worried that the nervous guards would shoot a few arrows directly, so he hurriedly replied: "We are just travelers hurrying to Sheffield at night. The loud noise, I came to check. Are you all right?"
His such a call really dispelled the suspicion of the other party. At least he approached him with a torch and openly approached. He would definitely not do that.
"Okay." The lead guard replied: "You...you can get close, but don't get too close. We are protecting a noble here, if that noble is hurt It's not good."
Arthur quietly rode his horse closer. Fortunately, what he looks like now is just a blond boy who looks weak. He is not threatening at all in the eyes of people who don't know it. Verne, who followed behind Arthur, was even a little devil and rode a wolf, which looked a bit funny. And whether Arthur rides (a horse turned from a dragon) or the mount of Arthur's followers, it is not an expense that normal people can afford. As soon as the king's guards saw Arthur's group, they took it for granted. Thinking that Arthur was the son of a noble family, his doubts were relieved a bit.
"Oops." Arthur pretended to be the elegant tone that nobles usually speak (not at all!), while dismounting and approaching with a torch, he looked at the carriage that had been sunk deep into the rocks and mud. Wheel, spit out: "Look at this, it's impossible to get the carriage out in no time. You are so unlucky."
"It was a cursed night," said the captain of the guard politely. "First, the horse was frightened by the shadow of the big monster in the sky and started running, and then the dark shadow following us in the woods drove the horse away. I slammed into this natural trap. Now that the carriage is completely trapped, there are still a group of dark figures moving around outside the woods, and my men and horses are starting to get nervous."
"Even so, you still haven't been attacked. It seems that the shadows who want to attack you are not strong." Arthur teased.
The group of guards nervously held swords and torches and formed a formation around the carriage. There were several guards pushing the carriage just now, trying to get the carriage out of the predicament, but now they have completely given up. You know how to defend. Arthur vaguely heard something moving in the forest, but he knew that the guards were not only guarding against those things in the forest, but also Arthur and his party.
Under this circumstance, the guards have not completely relaxed their vigilance. In fact, these guards are already very good guards.
"It's obviously not enough to rely on people to push the cart. If the horse is pulling in the front and people are pushing in the back, there may be a chance." Arthur said. Of course, the other party also understands this kind of truth. The reason why Arthur said this is not to remind the other party, but to ease the tension of the group of guards, and at the same time emphasize that he is here to help and has no malice.
"Do you think we haven't tried it?" The captain of the guard smiled bitterly: "Look at those horses, they are all terrified, and now they can't even stand up, their legs are shaking badly. It's better to rely on us than those beasts. myself."
Arthur glanced at the four horses in front of the carriage. The horses were indeed kneeling there, afraid to move, and it was obvious that something in the forest had frightened them. The groom held a torch in front of him and tried to comfort the horse, but to no avail.
It's a pretty nasty atmosphere. It looks like something is about to attack. At that time, once the frightened horse went mad, he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.
"Your horse looks very calm." The captain of the guard looked at Arthur's horse, which was transformed by Hyosung with the transformation technique, and it was a very grand white horse. The details are hard to say, but it is very likely that Hyosung used illusion to modify his appearance to make him look more like a horse and more stylish. But as a young dragon who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, even if this guy has the appearance of a horse, the confidence still overflows from his expression involuntarily, to the point where the blind can see. This is no longer a question of whether he is calm or not. Hyosung is almost telling everyone present, "I am different from an ordinary horse".
"Hmm, this is my family's long-trained warhorse, and it's true... not afraid of danger." Arthur laboriously made up lies, trying to make up for Hyosung -- despite the fact that His white horse had no saddle on its back and looked clearly a wild horse that had not been tamed.
"But I don't even have a saddle..." Sure enough, someone in the group of guards whispered.
"This guy is special, he doesn't like wearing saddles and reins." Arthur continued: "That's how character."
"Hmm." The captain of the guards did not continue to ask anything, but asked, "Sir, can we take the liberty of borrowing your horse?"
It did come.
"Yes. But this kind of help is by no means free." Arthur sneered and bargained. It's not to get a lot of benefits from the other party, but to get closer.
"Yes. As long as you can help us get out of this predicament this time, you will definitely be rewarded." The captain of the guard replied cheerfully.
Arthur smiled and turned to Ryoma: "Hyosung?"
"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss of a big white horse that has become a big white horse. Then he walked towards the front of the carriage.
"It's amazing, this horse can understand human speech." The captain of the guards praised.
"No, it's just that I'm well-trained, I'm used to a few specific orders, and I know what to do by listening to my tone." Arthur continued to write, and it was very tired. If it weren't for the fact that his brain was spinning faster than ordinary people, it would have been worn out by now.
"Um..." Verne, who was riding a wolf, let out a low hum, but this kid was very funny, and he never broke Arthur's story. Is it because he was used to living in the castle, and this child has become extraordinarily slick and sophisticated?
Arthur remained calm and watched as the coachman buckled the saddle on Hyosung's shoulder. At first, he was a little worried that Hyosung would refuse to help. After all, that guy is a dragon, with the arrogance unique to dragons, and he is rarely willing to do low work for humans. But Hyosung doesn't seem to mind at all. Maybe because he is too young, he even thinks it is an interesting experience to be a horse-drawn carriage. The coachman hasn't ordered him to move. This guy is just one. Go forward vigorously.
Originally stuck in the mud and stone crevices, six or seven big men went to push the still motionless carriage, but under the lead of a (pretend) horse, it moved.
"Wow wow wow wow, wait and don't mess around." Arthur rushed to stop Hyosung: "Such a forceful force will make the carriage turn over!"
Hyosung stopped.
"Sure enough, you can understand people's words..." The captain of the guards whispered.
"Cough cough!" Arthur had no choice but to cough to distract everyone's attention, and then said, "I'll give the horse a signal here. Send enough people to push from behind, and call when you're ready. me."
"Okay!" was successfully distracted, and the captain of the guards began to direct his men to push the cart -- at least by arranging the personnel to be able to push and stabilize the car first. superior.
"Get ready, start pushing~IndoMTL.com~One, two------"
"Three!" Arthur also patted Hyosung's back and let Ryoma pull the cart. The front was pulling hard and someone was pushing at the back. Under the double traction of the front and back, the carriage that was stuck in the mud finally started to move. In fact, Hyosung’s strength was enough to pull the carriage out of the predicament, but if only Hyosung was pulling in front and no one was holding it from behind, the carriage would tilt to the side as soon as it got out of the soil and overturned.
Now Arthur can hear a group of rough men behind the carriage howling hoarsely, probably using the strength of sucking milk to stabilize the car to prevent it from overturning. In this case, the carriage moved forward slowly, and finally got out of the predicament and returned to a level ground where it could stand normally.
"Phew." The captain of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, relieved.
At this very moment, something shot at the carriage, or more correctly, at the horses in front of the carriage. Arthur quickly slashed out a sword, blocking the hidden weapon fired from the forest!
"It's too early to relax." He reminded: "It seems that the guests who have been waiting in the woods for a long time are starting to lose their temper!"
