A certain day of a certain year and a certain month. Solis Kingdom.
A mysterious man in a white cloak led a white bear boy into the king's palace.
The person they met was none other than the King of the Lion Kingdom, Pendler XVI. The mysterious man in white robes never showed his face, but the king treated him like a good friend who had known him for many years. He greeted him with a hearty laugh when he came up.
When the mysterious man and the king hugged each other to show their friendship, the short white bear boy, who seemed to be only a few years old, hid behind and watched everything timidly.
"Is this the child?" After greeting each other, the king looked at the child curiously.
"That's him." The mysterious man replied: "There is a mysterious force sniffing around and seems to want to take advantage of our clan. I have asked the child's brother to settle in another clan, but I have put all the gems in
Being in the same treasure chest is really unsettling. So...can I entrust this child to you?"
"Okay." The majestic Golden Lion King grinned, and his smile was quite heroic: "With our friendship, this is just a small matter. The safety of this child will be protected by the Solis Kingdom. As long as I have one breath left,
I will make sure no one can hurt him."
"Thank you." The mysterious man in white robe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, kid," the king half-knelt in front of the white bear boy and asked amiably, "what's your name?"
"E, Elaine..." the white bear boy replied in a very low voice.
"Very good, little Elaine." The king stroked the child's head with his big and gentle lion's paw: "From today on, you will live in Solis. Please give me your guidance in the future. My only son and
You are about the same age, you can definitely become good friends."
"Well, well..." the white bear boy replied in a low voice, a drop of uneasy sweat emerging from his forehead.
After some time passes.
"Hey~" The little lion hugged the white bear boy from behind and kept rubbing the down on his chest.
"Don't, don't be like this, Leo..." The white bear boy was a little embarrassed.
"Let me touch it again, it will be fine in a while~" the lion boy said with a smile, "Elaine is furry and feels so good to the touch~"
"You, aren't you also furry..."
"Isn't it weird to touch yourself?" Leo said, "How about Elaine can touch me too~"
"No, don't..." the white bear boy said with a red face.
"Hehe." The lion boy rubbed his friend's face and said with a smile, "Where are we going to play today? Do we want to go swimming at the river?"
"Again, again? You almost drowned last week, Uncle Pendler, you almost went crazy with fear."
"I will be careful this time. Just don't go to the deep water. I understand, I understand."
"No, you don't understand at all..." the white bear boy said gloomily.
"Don't worry~" The little lion bit the opponent's neck with his mouth this time, tickling Elaine: "If I really drown, it will be my fate. My father also said that fate is like this
Planting something doesn't mean you can simply disobey it, isn't it?"
"this......"
The lion boy approached the white bear boy: "Hey, Elaine, let me ask you, are you happy here?"
"Well, well..." the white bear boy replied vaguely in a low voice. He has not yet adapted to the life here.
"I'm very happy," the little lion rested his head on the other person's shoulder, "There are no other children coming in or out of the palace. I always play alone, so boring. It's great to have Elaine here. We will
We want to be together forever."
"How, how can it be possible forever..."
"It's a metaphor, it's a metaphor." Leo smiled and said: "Elaine can stay here as long as you want, we will protect you, I will always protect you. I will------"
The situation changed, and the world was engulfed by war, and the air was filled with smoke and death.
"Elaine..." The lion boy vomited blood. He was hit by an arrow in his lower abdomen and right chest, and was seriously injured: "Quick...run away!"
From the secret passage of my father’s bedroom...!"
"Leo!" The white bear boy tried to pick up his relatives and friends, but he also broke an arm and a leg, and his damaged body had not had time to regenerate. In this severe situation, he wanted to carry his companions and escape together.
It's really too forced.
"Don't worry about me," the little prince reached out and touched the white bear boy's cheek: "I said, I will protect you. How could this be reversed------"
"I don't care, Leo..." The white bear man hugged the other party tightly with his still-broken arm, using his small body as a shield for his companion, and was careful not to let anything fly in from the window.
The arrow hit the lion boy.
The arrow hit his forehead, causing blood to flow. His thinking began to slow down.
Outside the prince's bedroom, a group of humans wearing armor and holding weapons rushed in and surrounded the two teenagers.
"Elaine..." The lion boy trembled, but held the other person's hand tightly.
However, the white bear boy acted calmer than usual: "We will... be together forever... because... we made an appointment, we made an appointment...
"
"...Leo!" Elaine exclaimed and opened her eyes.
"Good morning, Dr. Geoffrey." His bodyguard and assistant Goff was sitting quietly beside another bed in the same hotel room, seeming to have been waiting for Elaine to wake up: "Having a nightmare?"
"No..." Fatty Bai wiped the wet corners of his eyes. He did seem to have had a very sad dream, but he couldn't remember the content of the dream. But the dream seemed to be related to Leoport.
.
"Who is Leo?" Goff asked: "Leo...Leonard? Leorio? Leorio? No matter how you spell it, it seems to be a man's name. While having nightmares
You're calling a man's name. Is that guy... your enemy? Do you need help killing him?"
"No, no!" Elaine said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense! Just the opposite!"
"Just the opposite? Could it be ------"
Elaine blushed and stopped talking.
"That's it. Okay. I won't ask any further." Gove replied wisely: "Please freshen up and get ready, Dr. Geoffrey. You will be able to enter the Holy Land Vatican within today. I can't help but remind you.
The dangers and sacrifices that may be faced on this trip. I hope this trip is really worth it."
"Yes, it will be worth it." Elaine clenched her fists and replied in a low voice.
He has been waiting for ten years in this different world nine hundred years later, just for the opportunity to enter the Holy Land. As long as he can rescue Queen Greenville, it will all be worth it.
The carriage heading to the Vatican set off immediately after the group had breakfast. There was nothing special along the way.
"We will have lunch and rest in Alatri at noon." Knight Commander Marcus said: "But I have to remind you that Rome is very uneasy recently. Please do not wander around during the lunch break to avoid causing trouble."
"...No, it's not peaceful?" Elaine asked tentatively.
"First, the fleet heading to Corsica was attacked. Then there were mobs in the port of Fornonica, and it is said that the undead were awakened." Marcus replied ambiguously: "But the losses of the fleet are not counted.
It was tragic. The thugs and undead at the port were quickly suppressed. It was just a small disturbance, don't worry about it."
Elaine swallowed, knowing that it must be King Arthur and his party who attacked the fleet and caused trouble in the port. He was a little worried about Arthur's side, but he knew that King Arthur's side had a strong fighting force, so what did the Roman fleet say?
The losses were minor, and the disturbances at the port were suppressed. It was probably just the polite words of Knight Commander Marcus. The fact is probably just the opposite. The Roman fleet suffered heavy casualties, and the defense of Fornonica port was also severely damaged. Maybe it was.
The undead souls summoned by King Arthur are still raging in the port and have not been controlled?
"Yes, is it the work of the Saint Sect?" Elaine asked tentatively, and it was obvious that he was asking questions knowingly.
"No, we can't draw a conclusion yet." Marcus smiled mysteriously, seeming to be testing Elaine: "Anyway, if Dr. Freeley doesn't bother with this matter, you can just keep doing your job and treat the Cardinal as promised.
."
"Okay, okay..." Elaine groaned. He really can't do anything now. With this body alone, making trouble in the Vatican is also suicide.
Different from Elaine in the original world nine hundred years ago, he is just a tall fat man at best. This is almost a human body, and does not have the powerful combat power and racial talents of the White Bear or White Dragon. He can
Try to wield a big sword to fight, but if he is injured, he does not have the same self-healing ability as the White Bear. He can also activate the [Legion---Meteor Shower] that Arthur gave him before, but [Meteor Shower] can be used on the battlefield
The effect he can exert is still limited. Unless he has 100% guarantee that he can rescue Queen Greenville (Joan of Arc) in the Vatican and escape with the queen intact, he will not be able to launch an attack in the Holy Land.
He hasn't even seen the queen yet. At least he should first enter the Holy Land and try to find Queen Greenville (Joan of Arc).
Elaine touched the ring on her right ring finger uncomfortably.
"...Engagement ring?" Marcus asked tentatively.
"It's just a marriage that my father decided on his own..." Elaine replied. This answer was prepared by Arthur for Elaine from the beginning, so as to prevent the Legion ring from being discovered. The Vatican, the Holy Land, has strict regulations on magic items.
There must be a lot of controls, and those suspicious props will definitely not be brought into the Vatican. But if it is an engagement ring, the inspectors may relax their vigilance.
At noon, just as planned on the itinerary, Elaine and his party had lunch and rested in Alatri. After running for a long time, the horses were already exhausted. The plan was to change horses at the inn and check the carriage's faults while waiting for Elaine and his party.
After lunch, it stands to reason that the carriage can set off.
"Have you lost your appetite, Dr. Geoffrey?" Knight Commander Marcus asked when he saw Elaine staring blankly at the food on the plate without moving her mouth.
"Hmm..." The fat man played with a few peas on the plate with a spoon, but he had no intention of eating them. He had too many things on his mind, so naturally he had no appetite.
"It's not okay if you don't eat well. Isn't health management the biggest issue for doctors?" the knight commander urged again.
Elaine forced herself to eat a piece of bacon, but it was tasteless.
"Go and check the situation of the carriage." The knight commander said to several crusaders and soldiers around him, deliberately sending them away. When there were no others around, the knight commander suddenly came to Elaine's ear and whispered: "Now
Be patient first and eat well to save your strength. I will let you see Joan of Arc."
"Huh?!" Elaine's eyes widened.
"You may not believe me. But I want to save Joan of Arc as much as you do." Marcus chuckled in a low voice: "Then please give me some advice, Doctor Joffrey." (To be continued)
