- It was late at night, and the streets of Dublin were shrouded in silence.
The guards stood on the thick city wall and looked around, and the patrol team on the streets had also changed to a second shift and continued to patrol hard to protect Dublin.
The heavy rain has stopped, and little dewdrops are dripping from the roof eaves of the house, falling on the green leaves in the corners, and the dewdrops slide down to the ground along the bent green leaves.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Not long ago, the quarrel between the two made them feel a little exhausted. Although until the end, Artoria still couldn't agree with Char's point of view, just like Char couldn't agree with Artoria's rather naive idea. Whether it is to appear in front of the people as a savior or to take the lead in the front of the people as a symbol, the two people have the same purpose but their methods are completely opposite.
Later, after several quarrels to no avail, the two tacitly ended the topic.
The two people, who could not admit their righteousness to each other, were quiet for a while.
"Go and rest, you are already very tired today."
It was Xia Ya who spoke first, although when he said this, he turned his head like a troubled child. But that caring feeling made Artoria smile.
Arturia, who did feel tired, nodded. She slowly walked towards the warm and comfortable big bed, lifted the quilt and prepared to fall asleep quietly.
At this time, Char was standing on the other side of the bed with a matter-of-fact expression, preparing to lift the quilt and sleep with Arturia
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Arturia blushed and kicked the smiling Chara under the bed.
"Before I become a man, I should at least have a little bit of the king's reserve! Men sleep under the bed!"
With a tearless expression on her face, Char squatted under the bed, looking at Arturia who had fallen asleep and felt heartbroken. What a great opportunity. It was a rare time for the two of them to be alone together and they did nothing. They only focused on arguing about righteousness but forgot the truest purpose of coming here (eh?!). Oh my God! If a good opportunity is missed, the time will never come again. The ancients will not deceive me! ! "
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In the dead of night, a gust of wind blew from afar. It was like a girl's gauze, blowing into the king's room with its charming fragrance.
The curtains were blown and fluttering in the wind, and the two people who were sleeping soundly in the room couldn't help but roll up.
"?" Slowly opening her sleepy eyes, Xia Ya saw that the window had been blown open by a naughty wind at some point.
After rubbing her eyes, Xia Ya lifted the blanket covering her body and walked to the window. But at this moment, a gust of cool wind suddenly blew in front of her, which immediately made Xia Ya's somewhat groggy mind clear up.
Looking out the window, there are only a few lights in the quiet streets.
But near the city walls of Dublin, the lights were still bright. Thousands of warriors guarded day and night for the safety of themselves and the country. They did not flinch even in the face of cold wind and heavy rain. Their strong will was the key to supporting the strength of the entire King City of Pulun.
Thousands of burning torches illuminated the entire city wall. Looking from a distance, it looks like a fire dragon that opens its mouth and breathes fire. It is so huge and majestic
The bright moonlight hangs high in the sky. I don¡¯t know why the moon looks particularly charming tonight. The clouds are pale and the moon is shining like a dream.
"UmXiaYa?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind. Xia Ya turned around and looked. It turned out that it was the sleeping girl who woke up from her sleep. She wiped her increasingly hazy eyes and looked at him.
Xia Ya shrugged, and after closing the doors and windows, he returned to her side.
"It's okay, just continue to rest" Charia stroked Artoria's forehead and said softly.
Arturia nodded with confused eyes, then fell down and continued to rest.
Xia Ya looked at the peaceful and sweet sleeping face, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in the dark eagle eyes. Quietly holding up a strand of soft golden hair, Xia Ya slowly leaned forward and kissed it gently
????????????????The bright moon is still hanging high in the sky.
Xia Ya was lying on her own "bed", staring straight at the ceiling and saying nothing.
The next day was a nice sunny day.
The coldness of the past few days has been swept away by today's rising sun, and the streets have once again returned to their former prosperity.
The number of patrol soldiers is also increasing, because there are too many merchants or travelers coming to Dublin at the city gate, which is second only to Great Britain.??The trading center of London, the capital, is gradually becoming the largest trading place in the entire British Isles and also the trading place with the most diverse ethnic groups.
"Yo ho! Is this the true face of King Purun City? It is indeed a kingdom that makes the whole of Great Britain fearful!"
A burly man suddenly shouted on the street. His words attracted the eyes of civilians walking around. The British Empire? The eyes of the surrounding civilians suddenly changed. Their eyes were mixed with pride, dissatisfaction, contempt, and the calmness of equality.
"Gareth, watch your tone." Bedivere, standing next to the burly man, suddenly said.
"Haha, that's right. Don't forget that the country you just mentioned as being afraid of is our motherland." Lancelot, standing side by side with Bedivere, added with a chuckle.
The trio that made everyone look at them strangely on the street were the Twelve Knights of the Round Table who were the first to follow the future King Arthur. The rankings among the first knight Lancelot, the second knight Bedivere, and the third knight Gareth are not based on who follows Artoris first, but according to their respective Ranking based on title and strength is a relatively common ranking method in this continent.
Of course, if someone is dissatisfied, they can challenge the superior. The rule is that there is no limit to life or death, and the winner is king.
These three people were received into the inner city of Dublin two days ago. Because the three people were all very special figures, Yuexia and the Arc Knight, who were responsible for the reception, were treated as guardian knights. Entertaining two people. Except for "no legal sanctions", "nobles are not punished" and "equal military rights", the basic three people will not be subject to many restrictions.
This not only reflects the trust that King Pu Lun has in the three of them, but also makes the three of them understand what kind of "evil intentions" King Pu Lun has for the monarch they and others serve
The three people were dazzled by the dazzling array of products on both sides of the street. Whether they were in the middle of the sea or flying in the sky, of course the most common ones were those that climbed on land. Basically, everything was available here.
The neat and smooth stone road is almost crowded with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages. Every day, many businessmen who have made a fortune come here. Their faces are rosy, their steps are light, and their bodies seem to be full of power. Therefore, whether they are Pulun people or outsiders, they can basically tell at a glance who is an outsider and who is a person who has lived here for a long time.
Plop! A carriage suddenly accidentally knocked over a stall on the side of the street.
The goods on the street stalls immediately rolled to the floor, and some fragile items were smashed to pieces with a "snap".
"Hey! You bastard, you don't have eyesight! Didn't you see me setting up a stall here?!" the stall owner shouted angrily.
The foreign businessman who was a little excited because he had just arrived in the city was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that he would encounter such a thing before he had just entered the city and had not started doing business.
At this time, Gareth and the other three people also noticed this place, and they followed the sound to find this place.
"Hey! Pay me some compensation, look at all the products in my area that have been knocked over by your damn carriage!"
Bedivere had the sharpest eyes. He could tell at a glance that except for a few fragile items on the ground, the products on the ground were basically intact. However, some of the broken decorations are indeed quite valuable. No wonder the stall owner was so angry.
"Look, all my goods have been destroyed because of your carriage. You must compensate me at full price!"
Gareth, Bedivere and Lancelot frowned almost at the same time. This cargo owner was obviously raising the price to defraud the new entrants into the city.
At this time, the businessman also looked ugly, but he was holding on to the nobles who were new to the city and were not familiar with the city, so he decided that it would be better to do less than to do more. Today, he will be unlucky!
So the businessman took out his wallet with a sad expression on his face, and then began to count the money under the proud eyes of the stall owner.
Looking at the shining coins, the stall owner was extremely excited. I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a good thing on the second day after arriving in this city! Sure enough, King Pulun City is an extremely wealthy place. In this case, all he needs to do is be careful and do a few more such businesses, and he doesn't have to worry about running out of money in the future!
Seeing this scene, Lancelot and others shook their heads helplessly.
¡° Even law enforcement officers cannot intervene in such a consensual incident.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and a patrol of about fifteen people was seen heading here. They wearWearing thick armor, carrying a huge iron shield as tall as a man on his back, holding a huge gun in his right hand, and an iron helmet on his head that could cover his entire face, he quickly arrived at the scene.
"It's a Shariya"
"It's the Royal Guards"
"Now that person is in dire straits. He will definitely lose half his life in the hands of these fanatical guys"
"By the way, it's the Guards' turn today. No wonder the October Knights were in charge of patrol yesterdaypoor guy."
The people around were discussing quietly, while Lancelot and others on the side looked puzzled.
"Sorry to bother you. What's going on?" Bedivere turned to the person beside him and asked.
The civilian next to him glanced at Bedivere lightly, then turned his head and continued to look at the Shariya people in the field.
"That is the Saliya clan, one of the first clans to follow the king. The loyal guards who participated in the bloody battle in the royal city are the only clan that was given the right to the army among the clans that followed the king. Standing on the third day of Pulun A clan at the top of the great nobility, their leader is the Paladin Knight, one of the Twelve Guardian Knights. A clan of warriors known for their strict discipline and fanatical loyalty."
After saying that, the civilian turned around and left the scene. He still had his own things to finish and couldn't stay here for too long.
"Tch, the Pulun people are still so arrogant" At this time, a person next to Lancelot suddenly said.
Lancelot turned around and cast a curious look, only to see the guy in civilian clothes, who seemed to be a commoner, looking at the person walking away with disgust.
"Huh? What did you mean by what you just said?"
The person the commoner asked about him was Lancelot, who was wearing a silk coat and looked extremely handsome. Suddenly, the originally disgusted expression was replaced by a smiling and somewhat flattering one.
"Ah, I was just talking about the arrogant Pulun people. They always behave like that, no matter who they are, they are not humble to anyone. Even when they face the October Knights, they still talk to them with a normal expression."
There was a trace of doubt on Lancelot¡¯s face, equal dialogue?
"October Knights! That is the strongest army in the entire King City of Pulun, an army that will be pardoned even if it kills nobles! I really don't understand what those Pulun people have in their heads, facing that kind of aloof status My lord, you dare to talk back and forth with a tone of discussion, I really don¡¯t know if you are really not afraid of death or if you are just looking for death!"
The conversation between Lancelot and the man next to him attracted Gareth's attention. He squeezed in between the two of them, then opened his mouth and asked.
"Slaughter the nobles? Hey, you are kidding me! The nobles are the foundation that supports the entire kingdom. Without the nobles, there will be no civilians. Without the civilians, there will be no army. Without the army, what country is there?!"
The man glanced back and forth at Lancelot and Gareth, then looked thoughtful.
"Actually, I don't know much about the division system of this country. Anyway, I only know that the Kingdom of Pu Lun pays the least attention to the aristocracy in the world! They divided the entire kingdom into three major parts. The first one is based on Pu Lun. The Twelve Guardian Knights Legion, headed by King Lun, controls all the military power in the entire kingdom and can even mobilize the army without asking King Pulun. This kind of laissez-faire behavior is almost unheard of. The second layer is the legion class, which begins in October. Headed by the Knights, the General Guards, and the Saliya Royal Guards. Their rules can be said to be many, but they can also be said to be very few. If taken together, there are actually only two points. They are not allowed to commit crimes, and they are not allowed to massacre civilians, and that is It refers to the Twelve Guardian Knights and King Pulun, and the civilians refer to the civilians of King Pulun City, and the others are not counted"
It¡¯s a mess This is the first reaction in Lancelot¡¯s mind. It is really difficult for him to understand the division of power in King Pulen, especially the status of the nobles and the rights of the army.
"Hey, where are the nobles? Are they the lowest of the three?" Gareth asked loudly.
But the civilian shook his head and explained: "The last point is actually civilians. The civilians of Pulun King City have absolute priority in treating civilians of other races. For example, when buying goods, selling sea trade, and going fishing, they all use Pulun. Human beings are given priority, and then people of other races take their turn. However, basically no one has an opinion on this point, because Pu Lun is already quite open to outsiders like us, and the tax is reduced as much as possible, which is very considerate. We are newcomers here. Of course, over time you will have to pay taxes according to the rules."
"The three bignobles are not here, so what the hell?" Lancelot frowned.The head asked.
"It's a gray area, between the legion and civilians. They have higher rights than civilians, but are suppressed by the legion. They can promote some indifferent officials, but they have almost no room to intervene in military appointments. . Any family that dares to extend its tentacles to the legions will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Moon Knights and the Song Knights. The Royal City of Purun is an aggressive country, in which the nobles only serve as a button. , and it has not reached the point where it is the hands and feet of a country."
Lancelot and Gareth looked at each other, both curious about the strange but somewhat interesting hierarchy of King Plun City.
"Oh? It's done." At this time, the civilian suddenly said.
Everyone turned their attention to the field again, and saw the Saliya Guards who understood the situation striding away with the stall owner in one hand. The onlookers all around showed no expressions of sighing, but expressions of remembrance of the stall owner. Then all the people dispersed, leaving only the businessman in the venue who still didn't understand what was going on.
"They are the Pulun people, they are the eyes of this city. Although they always look superior, what they say is valuable. Especially the military, they have almost 100% trust in the Pulun people. The Purun people in this city are equivalent to the incarnation of the King of Purun. While they fanatically yearn for their king, they also perform what they should do as a member of the country of King Purun City." This passerby He shook his head and said, this kind of bond that is almost inseparable and inseparable is one of the biggest fortresses that spies and spies like them cannot get into
Looking at the streets that were once again calm and noisy, Gareth and Lancelot felt a sense of inner rebirth. Bedivere stood aside but did not think so deeply. Because he firmly believed that one day, sooner or later, what Pu Lun King City could achieve, she who he swore allegiance to could also achieve. Bedivere was convinced of this, and at the same time, he also believed that the king who had special feelings for his monarch would definitely hope that she could become a king living in the same world as hers, regardless of whether they two The final outcome is to join hands or break up.
