The scenery is beautiful when you enter, and the bright red carpet is spread under your feet. A cross coat of arms carved from huge jadeite is placed in the center of the hall.
In front of the cross emblem, there is an extremely long and wide square table, which can accommodate a total of 108 people. It is placed there extremely conspicuously.
The golden throne made of gold is extremely majestic. All those who look up to it will involuntarily feel a sense of awe.
And Drake, the king of Pulun, d. Char. When he saw this scene, his first reaction was extremely surprised. Although he had already heard that Great Britain was as wealthy as the world, he could not imagine that Great Britain had become so wealthy. Hundreds of years of burning, killing, looting, and exorbitant taxation have just created the extremely glorious British Empire today.
¡°¡What an astonishing wealth.¡±
This is the first time, this is the first time that I have felt such a strong feeling of jealousy. Similarly, this is also the first time that Xia Ya, who is a king, feels her own weakness.
With this kind of national power, even the wealth contained in one palace has exceeded the accumulation of the King City of Pu Lun in the next few hundred years.
Xia Ya¡¯s eyes glanced around, and he was subconsciously looking at the surrounding environment, wanting to prepare in advance for coming here to ¡°see¡± more in the future
"It's useless, this is the highest power administrative center of our empire. Unless it is a frontal attack, even your Royal City of Purun will not be able to steal any wealth from here."
Arturia was the first to notice the direction of the incoming person. With her extremely keen intuition, she had already sensed the location of the other person as early as the moment he made a sound.
Without the slightest deviation, the opponent walked out from behind the golden throne with heavy steps.
"The king of Pu Lun" Straight and smooth black hair, spotless black eyes full of deathly sadness.
She was wearing a suit of luxurious but dilapidated armor, and the armor was covered with large and small wounds. There was still a trace of blood on the wound, and there was still deep exhaustion on that suffocating ice-clear face.
"You actually called me by my titleWho are you? The crime of disrespecting the king is very serious." Xia Ya shamelessly ignored the other party's "secret activities" that he wanted to carry out. Instead, he pointed at her and asked with a reproachful face.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her breath became confused for a moment.
Artoria quietly leaned closer to Char. It was not for any other reason. It was just an instinct of self-defense that made Artoria want to be with someone trustworthy.
You can feel a strong aura on that person. Her momentum is almost comparable to that of Knight under the Moon
"I heard from Teacher Mei Lin that you have completely changed into a completely different person. I didn't believe it at first, but you standing in front of me now are so strange, so strange that it's like strangers passing each other. But the same thing happenedChar."
She lowered her eyes, and Xia Ya's mood already showed impatience.
"Is that old fox Merlin your teacher? But again, it's impossible for a guy with an ordinary status to appear here. Hey, answer my question! Whoare you!"
The last two words "who is it" were shouted loudly and loudly by Xia Ya, which fully demonstrated his extreme impatience at the moment. There is still a large army besieging them outside, and London is so dilapidated that even if the Knights of Pullen go all out, they will probably suffer considerable casualties. So Xia Ya, who was a little depressed, was not in much mood to play guessing games with others here, although he felt that he should know the other party and he was very familiar with them.
But this feeling is too subtle, too fragile, and will disappear with the slightest emotional fluctuation, making it impossible for Xia Ya to fully realize its existence.
¡°Hehehea burst of deep laughter came.
At this time, one of the pillars of the British Empire, the Great Sage Merlin, slowly appeared from behind the throne and stood behind the female knight.
"You are still as spirited as ever, King Pu Lun."
The appearance of Merlin means that the other party's identity has instantly become equal to his own.
Although she was quite unhappy, out of respect for people of equal status and respect for herself, Xia Ya snorted coldly and stopped questioning.
Seeing this, Merlin smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to order the guards on both sides of the gate to go out.
When the palace was completely sealed, Mei Lin pointed towards the long table with Chinese patterns placed in the middle of the palace, and Xia Ya took the lead and walked there.
"That little girlplease take a seat with me." Merlin said to Artori.?Said kindly.
?
Arturia looked left and right, only to find that the other three people in the entire palace were looking at her.
¡¡
"Eh?! Is itis it me?!" Artoria looked as shy as a child who was caught lying by an adult, which made Char couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, it's you." Merlin stroked his long beard and explained with a smile.
Arturia blushed and moved away, leaving an empty space between her and Char.
"Why is it so easy to be discovered" Arturia muttered with a red face.
"Why haven't you realized how easy it is to be tricked" Xia Ya complained very rarely.
Merlin and she also stepped off the throne and found a seat nearby to sit down.
"This is a time of war, so we have to omit many court etiquette." Merlin said.
Xia Ya did not object and nodded.
The other two people were not dissatisfied and naturally agreed.
There were only four people sitting in the entire splendid palace. But these four people are now in charge of the fate of the two countries, controlling their rise and fall. Moreover, the decline of these two countries simultaneously affected the fate of all ethnic groups in the entire British Isles. It can be said that these four people are in charge of the entire Great Britain! The fate of all the people throughout the British Isles!
"King Pulun" Merlin opened his mouth and was about to officially start.
"Wait a minute." Xia Ya suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
Xia Ya turned his attention to the female knight who had been staring at him without blinking from the beginning.
Pointing his hand: "Before getting to the point, tell me who this person is? As the most basic trust, you can't even omit this kind of thing."
Merlin glanced at the female knight and smiled.
Things like destiny are really interesting. The crazy kid who once swore in front of King Uther and all the members of the royal family that he would definitely marry her was now a stranger in front of her, asking who she was? Hahaha, there are really too many things in this world that even I can¡¯t understand.
Quietly clenching the fist hidden under the table, the female knight slowly closed her eyes.
"Drake"
kindness? ! Xia Ya suddenly frowned and called the king by his last name? What a bold woman!
"Drake.d.Barona.Finn.Pendragon!"
As if to avenge Char's resounding "Who" just now, Barona also shouted her name extremely loudly, and her name echoed throughout the palace, and the emotion contained in this sentence , but from her face, which has not changed at all from the beginning to now, it is impossible to identify her.
"Drake d. Barona?" Arturia looked at Char with a shocked expression, and then looked at Barona with a frosty expression in confusion.
Well, she was a little confused.
¡¡¡¡
Xia Ya stared at the woman with the same surname as him for a long time, and a heavy feeling of depression spread throughout the royal court.
He actually has the same surname as himself? Or does it have the same surname as the previous owner of this body? What is their relationship? Why would a weak warrior who died on the frontier have a relative serving in the inner court of the Royal Family of Great Britain? ! Is it possible that the surname Drake.d. is unique to the royal family? No, the surname unique to the royal family should be the "Pendragon" after her name. If that's the casethen who is she? To "me" was she someone to "me"? !
After a long while, Xia Ya's thoughts gradually calmed down. And with Char's deep sigh, the topic started again.
"continue the topic just now, Merlin." Xiaya looked at Barona, a woman who surprised him so much, then turned to Merlin and said.
"Are there any other questions?" Merlin asked with a smile on his face.
"There is noSage Merlin." Xia Ya seemed a little annoyed that the other party looked like he was watching a good show.
Merlin¡¯s fingers tapped on the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
"Then it's our turndon't you want to introduce the little girl next to you?"
Char turned back to look at Artoria, only to find that Artoria seemed to be very taboo about Merlin?
Do you need me to speak for you? Chara conveyed this message with her eyes.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Tolia shook her head firmly, just because the other party saw through her true gender in an instant, and she was perfectly suppressed by her surprise at this moment.
"Artoris! I have always heard the name of the sage Merlin before, and I am extremely honored to see it with my own eyes this time." Artoria tapped her forehead with her finger, and then moved towards Merlin. This is a sincere etiquette that replaces the kneeling ceremony. It is generally used between kings, ministers and envoys of various countries to replace unnecessary etiquette.
"Artoris?" Merlin smiled. The little girl I haven¡¯t seen for a long time has grown up wonderfully.
"Yes. Lord Sage Merlin." Arturia nodded, looking calm and calm.
"Are you from Pulun?" Merlin suddenly asked.
This question immediately made Xia Ya feel wary, and there was a hint of evil in her eyes when she looked at Merlin.
"No! I'm from Great Britain!" Arturia said very firmly, with a hint of pride in her words.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Xia Ya knocked on the table, causing the two people who were talking to cast doubtful glances.
"Merlin! You're going too far!" Xia Ya said in a bad tone.
????????????????????? Merlin chuckled softly. It is very obvious that King Pulun's care for Artoria is not as strict as usual.
But, the fate has been decided. No matter how much you want to bring her under your banner at this moment, as fate dictates, she is destined to become our king.
"Then let's get to the point, King Pulun. First of all, I'm very grateful for your help this time and for relieving the temporary siege of our London city. But with your strength of a thousand knights, you have to face tens of thousands of enemies. The army seems to be slightly undermanned." Merlin put his hands back into his sleeves and said.
Xia Ya raised an eyebrow. : "There are at least about 8,000 garrison troops in the city of London. Counting your miscellaneous troops, there are at least more than 9,000 people. My subordinates have already reported this to me before I entered the city. Nine thousand infantry Together with a thousand heavy armored cavalry, it is enough to sweep away the 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers."
Merlin was silent for a moment. He didn't expect King Pullen to be able to grasp the situation in London so quickly, and was a little surprised.
"King Pulun, how well do you know the legion opposite?" Merlin said.
kindness? Xia Ya looked at Merlin without knowing what he meant.
At this time, Barona, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "The Three Lions and Leopards Legion. The second most powerful legion among the three legions of the French Empire. The weak have defeated the strong several times and have a strong record. They are best at the jungle. Among them, ambush battles, surprise battles, defense battles, under the leadership of that cruel regiment leader Carol Badron, the brutal legion is feared by all countries."
"Is it cruel?" Xia Ya said.
"Every time a city is captured, it is massacred. The young and old are killed, and the men are used as slaves and the women are used as prostitutes. No prisoners are left. Not only against foreigners, they also do the same to some rebels in their own country. According to rumors They once massacred 40,000 compatriots in one go and hung their corpses on the city wall as a warning. There were still some people who had not yet expired. They howled miserably every day and every night, causing people to panic." Barona closed her eyes. Eyes said. Such a brutal legion is extremely rare even in the Middle East. The Three Lions and Leopards, the Second Legion of the French Empire, are recognized as the most ferocious army in the world.
"And just before you came to the rescue, more than half of the civilians in London" Barona sighed heavily.
Those thousands of people who were hanged in Norman Square, I hope their souls can be forgiven by the Lord.
"That¡¡!!"
With a bang, Xia Ya was startled by the sudden loud noise.
Turning around, he saw Arturia clenching her fists with an expression of unforgivable anger.
"Such a cruel acthow despicable! Do you think you can feel so happy by slaughtering defenseless and weak people?! These butchers!!"
Never seen before, this was the first time Char saw an angry Arturia.
How should I put it Unlike usual, Artoria at this moment gave people an extremely dangerous feeling. It's like a long sword that has been sharpened is hanging above your head, giving you a sense of extreme danger that your life may be taken away at any time and at any time.
The eyes were shrinking, the blond hair was windless, and there was a faint sound of a hurricane roaring beside Artoria.
Merlin, who was sitting aside and watching this scene, had a smile on his lips that only he could understand.
"As expected ofthe king destined by God"By.
After a while, Artoria seemed to realize her gaffe.
Slowly sat down and adjusted his momentum.
"Topic please continue." Although the words were full of respect, Barona could feel that the other party's mentality seemed to have completely changed.
"If she was just an insignificant person just now, then at this moment she is like an angry lion, full of threats.
Xia Ya felt a little strange when she saw this scene. When was it, or was it just that moment?
Arturia is the person she has always thought she was familiar with.
It seems to have become strange
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Or do you want to speed up the progress and give priority to the story and plot and give up part of the description of the character's mood?
To be honest, I quite like the way it is written now. Although, the progress is a bit slow
