Chapter 2717 A hundred years of loneliness (fourteen)
The next morning, at the port of Marseille, Arthur and his party came to the deck of the merchant ship.
The one-eyed middle-aged captain who came out to greet Arthur. The long beard and the bald head that shone brightly in the sun made this man feel like a merchant ship captain.
"Hello, Mr. Aslan. I'm the Merchant Marine [Enterprise (E

)] captain, Markov Devlani. You can call me Markov. Mr. Cole's letter mentioned your Excellency, but the description in the letter is not accurate at all. Your Excellency is more talented than the description. "
"Award," Arthur replied lightly, shaking the captain's hand. The old sailor's dry, calloused hands sent a chill down Arthur's spine.
"When can we leave?" Arthur asked again.
"Come on. Once the sailors are loaded and another VIP arrives, we can leave."
"VIP...?" Arthur paused, except for business people, it stands to reason that no one would be willing to leave Marseille during such an extraordinary period?
The roar of horses came from the east side of the port, and a carriage came at an alarming speed. Arthur turned his head to look and found that the decoration on the carriage belonged to the Cole Merchant Group.
"Oh, here we come." Captain Vidrani shouted to his men, "Everyone, speed up the loading! Ready to leave the port!"
The sailors worked harder to get boxes of cargo into the hold, mostly spices and fabrics, and what seemed to be red wine and some nasty distilled spirits.
The carriage made a nice drift on the pier before it stopped, and the group hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. It was Elaine who appeared at the dock, and a group of bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards are still old faces.
"...Sorry for being late," Elaine said as soon as she got on the boat.
"No no, it's just the right time, my little nephew." The captain was actually polite to Elaine: "Joffrey! Why have you lost weight recently? You need to eat more and rest!"
"Uh, ahahahaha..." Elaine smiled naively.
"Are you planning to go to Rome this time? Or is it the king's decree? Is it convenient to give some news to your uncle?"
"Hug, sorry..." Elaine said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Oh, so it's the kind of work that is inconvenient to disclose? It's okay. Then you can rest in the cabin. The voyage is three days in total, so it's good to rest."
"Okay, okay." Elaine smiled wryly, while turning her eyes to King Arthur: "See you again, Mr. Aslan."
"Oh, we met again, Dr. Joffrey." The king of knights replied nonchalantly, "Did you just go to Rome during these extraordinary times? You are really dedicated to your work."
"Hahahaha..." Elaine smiled wryly again: "We...can, can we talk alone?"
"Of course." Knights are king.
"Well, Dr. Joffrey?" But the bodyguards behind Elaine were quite critical: "It's very difficult for us to handle you like this."
"No, it's fine, Mr. Aslan is my best friend," Elaine said.
"Alright then." The leading bodyguard glanced at Arthur. Arthur has naturally looked up and down each other, and he also knows each other.
The bodyguards behind Elaine are several mercenaries from the [Crescent Mercenary Group], and Arthur has worked with these people before. The head of the mercenary regiment was still [Strong Shield] Hanover, and behind him the thin scout [Quick Legs] Bordeaux, the robed female alchemist [True Knowledge] Nantes, and the ranger [Falcon Eye] Milan were all present. .
"Isn't the [Crescent Mercenary Group] affiliated with the mercenary trade union in England?" Arthur asked, "Why did you come to France to receive the commission?"
"The sphere of influence of trade unions is all over Europe, not just England, Mr. Aslan," Hannover replied.
"Yes." Arthur ended the conversation briefly, winked at his companions, and walked into the cabin with Elaine.
"Merlin," after entering the same room as Elion, Arthur instructed: "Prepare for the shady scene."
A shadow of a crow passed through the wall outside the window, and a shady barrier quickly formed around it, creating an environment where only Arthur and Elaine had a private conversation. Of course, Merlin was there too.
"Is this your plan, Merlin?" Arthur asked: "To persuade Charles VII to send Elaine to Rome. How?"
"Not exactly my plan, Your Majesty." The crow replied: "The Vatican cardinal contracted the Black Death, and it wasn't in my plan. Ryan was able to cure the Black Death, and it made Charles VII think of selling this favor to the church and sending Elaine to heal the disease."
"So this is at least half of what you're planning. Good." The King of Knights said, "Then let Elaine go to the cardinal in the form of the plan."
"Doesn't His Majesty pretend to be Elaine's entourage and sneak into the Vatican?"
"It's useless. Even if I can sneak in, I'm sure I won't see Joan of Arc. I move around in the enemy's line at will, but it's easy to startle the snake. Just let Elaine inquire about the news in the Vatican. Our original plan remains unchanged. Still attacking Rome from the outside."
"Yes, but a clumsy person like me..." Elaine frowned.
"You'll be fine, you'll be fine." Arthur took out a brocade box from his arms: "This is for you [Legion]. I was still wondering how to deliver it to you. , this is just right."
"Army, Legion?" Fatty Bai looked at the only ring left in the brocade box and was puzzled.
"Put it on and you'll understand." The Knight King didn't say much, just put the [Epic Legion---Meteor Shower] soldier ring into Elaine's hand.
Elaine had to put the ring on. Naturally, the memory transfer spell in the ring was activated immediately, allowing Elaine to understand the usage and purpose of the ring.
"Uh, wait, I can't remember so quickly, I can't remember!" Elaine said anxiously.
"Are you an idiot..." Arthur snorted.
"Uh...is this really, really good for me?" Elaine took a few minutes to digest the knowledge before saying, "It's very, very complicated to operate. I'm not, not confident. It works well."
"You can use it well. I read Constantine's report at the amusement park before. Didn't you turn the whole amusement park upside down with your telekinesis when you became a human? Since you can use your telekinesis for If you are so skilled, the operation of [Meteor Shower] should not be difficult for you. This [Legion] is just a bunch of spherical golems, and the control is similar to how you control objects with telekinesis."
"Yes, but------"
"Speaking of which, you really escaped from Charles VII successfully?" King Arthur changed the subject and said, "What? Haven't you lost your chastity?"
"...Then, that kind of thing is long gone." Elaine blushed: "But this time, I was not taken advantage of by His Majesty the King. Thanks to Master Mo, Merlin."
"Oh?"
"It's just that Charlie VII had a dream with Daredevil's illusion and made him think he had succeeded." Merlin replied: "Anyway, as long as he is with me, he is safe."
"Then can you sneak into the church to protect Elaine?" King Arthur asked again.
Merlin paused.
"No. There is a strong barrier inside the church, and even Harry's phantom can't penetrate it." Merlin replied.
"So while Elaine was treating the cardinal in the church, you couldn't protect him?" The King of Knights pressed on: "This is a bit bad."
"Yes, it should be fine." Elaine played with her fingers nervously: "Also, not everyone changes like His Majesty Charles VII, perverted..."
"The people in the church may be even worse." Arthur sneered: "You don't seem to understand your current situation at all, don't you? You have the blood of the demons on your body, even if it is only a very thin point, it is still It's the blood of the succubus. The blood of the succubus will confuse humans and make them desire you. Otherwise, how attractive do you think you are as a fat little fat man? The king of France would simply look stupid and foolish , stammering and unattractive you, isn't it the blood of the succubus that is at fault?"
"Eh." Elaine's face suddenly became ugly, as if something she had always believed in suddenly collapsed: "No wonder, no wonder..."
"Your Majesty shouldn't have made this clear," Merlin rebuked.
"I just let him see himself clearly and know the danger he's facing." Arthur said, turning to glaring at Elaine: "Listen, Elaine. If you enter the church, there is a high probability that you will be killed. People in the church are watching. Maybe cardinals, maybe other people with bad intentions. In short, without Merlin's protection, you will be very dangerous. Although sneaking into the church and working with us inside and out can bring great benefits to our actions Great convenience, but it also means you have to make huge sacrifices. You don't need to do that. It's too late to back off now. We'll find a place to hide you in Corsica after we go to sea and wait for the storm to pass. But if you get to Rome, the matter is finalized. On one side is the king's decree of the French king, and on the other side is the commission of the church. You have nowhere to run. You really intend to risk being invaded and support us from within the church. ?"
Elaine's expression turns serious.
"Anyway, this is a borrowed body..." he said.
"Even if it's just a temporarily borrowed body, it will still hurt if you are beaten~IndoMTL.com~ If you are killed, you will still die." The King of Knights said, "Anyway, you think about it before you act, okay? You are a person who can't even protect yourself. Good little idiot, don't make people worry all the time."
Elaine frowned aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, someone is trying to open the outer door," Merlin said.
"Cancel the shady enchantment." Arthur put away the brocade box and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Well, are you all okay? The room has been very quiet since just now------" The call of [Strong Shield] Hanover came from outside the door.
"No, it's fine!" Elaine was a little temperamental: "Don't eavesdrop!"
"I'm just doing my duty to protect you, Mr. Joffrey."
"Anyway," Arthur got up from his seat and walked out the door: "Before you get to Corsica, think about it. See you later."
Elaine looked at Arthur, who pushed the door, and Hannover, who walked into the room, angrily. At this time, the ship shook a few times and left the port.
