After eliminating the enemies in front of him, Arthur gathered his mood and was about to check on his companions.
As a result, he found that Xiaoxing had been staring at him blankly, as if he was curious about everything that had just happened.
"You were not affected by the nightmare's mental attack?" Arthur asked.
"I fell asleep for a few minutes, but I woke up right away." Xiaoxing replied, having transformed from a dragon into a white horse. "The illusion is mysterious and has almost no effect on dragons. Isn't it the same for Uncle Arthur?"
Is it because I have dragon blood in my body that I can resist mental attacks so easily?"
"This body is a borrowed body, and the dragon blood in the body has become very thin." Arthur hummed nonchalantly. Then he walked over to check on Bedivere's situation. The big white wolf was lying on his back sleeping.
, with his mouth wide open and his tongue hanging out, as if he has not yet recovered from the nightmare's mental attack.
Arthur kicked the big white wolf's ass a few times like a prank: "Wake up, Bedi! Wake up! Being defeated by a mental attack so easily? This is not like you."
Bedivere's ears twitched.
"In that case, I will ------" Arthur stepped hard, and his foot happened to step on Bedivere's tail.
"Wow!" The big white wolf jumped up and yelled at Arthur unhappily.
"Finally woke up, lazy wolf?" Arthur grinned.
Bedivere then got up from the ground, remained squatting, and began to shake his head crazily, as if shaking his head like this would wake him up quickly.
"Well, I woke up and went crazy." Xiaoxing joked in from the side.
"Woof woof woof woof!!" Bedivere yelled at Xiaoxing several times in protest.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Arthur went over to monitor the situation of others. At this time, he had already walked to Verne: "The others should be waking up soon. Xiaoxing, please don't talk nonsense, so as not to expose the secret."
Already."
"Yes, yes, yes~" the big white horse transformed into Xia Shuanglong replied frivolously, and then neighed instead of speaking. Arthur was so angry that he almost wanted to jump on the horse and kick Xiaoxing in the stomach.
What about the two "Abyss Grimoires" that Arthur got? He felt that the bag behind him was heavy, which had increased the weight of one grimoire. It seemed that the other "Abyss Grimoire" "Mantra of Visions" was also
It ran into the bag. Arthur didn't know how it got in, but he didn't bother to find out. Now that these dangerous scriptures were properly preserved, that was the key point.
"Well..." After being slapped several times by Arthur, Verne let out a low whimper and began to wake up.
"You were attacked by a nightmare just now. Did you have a nightmare?" Arthur asked Verne.
"No..." The kid rubbed his eyes drowsily, "I always feel like... I had a strange dream, but it's not a nightmare."
"Really?" Arthur did not pursue the question. There are also rumors that the mental attacks of nightmares are only effective on adults with dirty thoughts. Children who are truly innocent and innocent to a certain extent are immune to the attacks of nightmares.
The situation on the other side of the carriage is not very optimistic. From a distance, Arthur can see that some of the guards are foaming at the mouth or even vomiting blood. Some people's spirits should be eaten away by nightmares. But Arthur's battle just now
It didn't take long, the nightmare's mental attack was resolved in time, and those people theoretically would not be fatally injured.
But it should be impossible to expect the guards to cheer up immediately and continue on their way. The night is getting darker and darker, so it would be better to make a fire and camp here for the night. At least a fire big enough to drive away all kinds of wild beasts in the forest.
Heap, please ensure the safety of the nearby area.
With this thought, Arthur went over and prepared to light a fire. Before the guards woke up, Arthur cheated a little, using a lightsaber to chop down trees to collect wood, and at the same time used the flames generated by the alchemy gloves to ignite them.
.
"Huh------" After he made a fire that was big enough and warm enough, and built a circle of stones around the fire to ensure the safety and stability of the fire, Arthur slapped him a few times to wake him up.
That captain of the guard.
"Um......?"
"Are you still alive?" Arthur said: "I have taken care of the monsters that attacked the carriage. You should be safe for the time being. Some of your men were injured and it seemed impossible to continue moving, so I gave birth to you."
It's a fire, you just stay here for the night."
"But------" The guard captain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn't even know how he was injured. He only knew that he was injured due to some evil magic from the monster that attacked the carriage."
The woods may not be safe! We still need to escort the nobleman in the carriage to the city of Sheffield!"
"Believe me, this area is safe enough." Arthur said. There were vampires lurking in this forest area, as well as the weirdo holding the Abyss Grimoire, but they were all eliminated by Arthur.
.The mountain forest that was originally full of gloomy and evil spirits has regained its due peaceful atmosphere. In theory, there should be no more evil things. Even if there are, those guys are certainly weak (powerful enemies should have been sensed by Xiaoxing long ago)
, this group of guards can definitely handle it.
"Is that so... Okay." The guard captain did not continue to argue with Arthur. After all, it was Arthur who defeated the swamp ghost group (he considered this kind of enemy), not their group of guards.
It also proved that the blond boy in front of him was much more professional than them in exterminating monsters: "But it seems... you don't plan to stay?"
"I won't stay, I'm sorry." Arthur smiled bitterly: "I really can't stand the mosquitoes in the forest. My entourage and I still plan to rush to Sheffield overnight to find a place to stay. So, I wish you good luck."
"I also wish you good luck, sir------" It was only then that the guard captain remembered that he had never asked Arthur's name: "By the way, may I ask for his surname?"
"I don't have any surname, my name is ------" Arthur was about to answer.
"Aslan." A child poked his head out of the carriage and rushed to say: "Big brother, his name is Aslan. I have seen him before in Penzance Port, and the Duke of Sirnant was not here this morning.
Have you mentioned him too? It was the famous monster hunter Mr. Aslan who destroyed the [Bone Scavengers] bandit group entrenched outside Manchester."
Arthur turned his head and glanced at the kid whose head popped out of the carriage, and easily recognized that person as the current King of England, Henry VI. He then responded calmly: "That's a compliment."
"Hehe." Henry VI had a playful smile on his face. He didn't look like he was frightened just now when his carriage was attacked. I don't know if it was because he felt safe hiding in the carriage, or because he didn't care about what happened outside the carriage at all.
thing?
"My lord! If you make such an announcement...!" Seeing the king emerging from the carriage, the captain of the guard said nervously, as if he was afraid that Arthur would assassinate the young king Henry VI.
"What are you afraid of? He knows me too." Henry VI ignored the advice of the captain of the guard and continued to ask Arthur: "Brother Aslan, are you going to Sheffield? It's so late, why not stay here?
Set up camp for the night? I will pay you a generous reward, you just need to stay one more night. There are so many terrifying monsters in the mountains and forests, and it is really unsettling to just rely on the protection of this group of guards."
"You don't look scared at all. Well, you will be fine." Arthur refused and walked towards his horse: "I will only make your guards more nervous if I stay here, so forget it."
.------Then, farewell (Kama)."
"What is Karma...?" People in their world have never heard of the theory related to [Kama], so Henry VI couldn't understand Arthur's words of farewell at all, and asked curiously
road.
"It's nothing." Arthur knew that he had spilled the beans and had confused the culture of the original world nine hundred years ago into the communication of this world, so he immediately stopped. He jumped on the horse and at the same time gave Verne a wink to urge him.
Jumping on the wolf's back, he hurriedly said goodbye: "Anyway, goodbye."
Before Henry VI could make any further efforts to persuade him, Arthur had already galloped away on his big white horse, and his figure quickly disappeared into the woods.
"Hmph." Henry VI pouted and said, "What, it's so boring."
"Your Majesty, you should not have hasty contact with that kind of civilians." The captain of the guard was still mumbling.
"Yes, yes, of course." The young king Henry VI did not continue arguing with the captain of the guard. He retracted his head into the carriage and hid. The curtain of the carriage covered everything, and it was easy to distinguish the outside world from the young man.
king isolated.
A curtain may be able to isolate his vision from the outside world, but it cannot isolate his curious heart.
On Arthur's side, he ran all night with a torch, and arrived in Sheffield about two hours later. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, which was considered very good for the British who went to bed early and got up early at that time.
It's late. This town must have been rebuilt after the massacre ten years ago. Although many colonists have moved in, it still seems a bit depressed--especially at night like this.
"I hope I can still find a hotel where I can stay." Arthur hummed, casually taking out the coat of arms of Duke Sirnant and going to deal with the guards in front of the city gate. The guards did not embarrass Arthur and quickly let them go.
People passed.
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether you find a hotel or not. Spending the night in the city is better than camping in the wild to feed mosquitoes." At that time, Verne could hardly open his eyes, lying on Bediwell's back and yawning repeatedly.
"Yawning is contagious, did you know?" Arthur scolded with dissatisfaction. While resisting the urge to yawn, he looked around for hotels that were still open on the main roads in the city. He was not picky, and soon he
I found a hotel with the lights on late at night and walked over.
Arthur asked Verne to take the horses to the stables while he went to book a room. He had just paid the deposit and thought he could finally lie down and rest for a while, but Verne ran over in panic and said: "It's going to be bad."
