"No, I don't mind..." Elaine replied depressedly after hearing Sir Gordon's strange request.
This bath is a public bath anyway, so there should be no problem.
"Oh, the water temperature is just right. Is this hot water heated by some magic sword?" Gordon had already walked over and measured the water temperature with his hand: "But the water temperature is gradually cooling down. In this case, it will be completely cold halfway through soaking.
.Want to boil some more hot water?"
Before Elaine could answer, Gordon had already taken out the lightsaber and adjusted the blade's output to the minimum. The lightsaber's blade became as short as a dagger and turned into a fiery red thread. At this time,
The lightsaber has almost no lethality, but the blade can emit enough heat to burn a person's skin. Gordon directly raised the sword and stabbed it into the pool water. The red light of the blade began to react with the pool water and exchange heat. It took a few seconds.
After that, the water nearby began to be heated until bubbles appeared, and the water temperature in the bath gradually increased.
"You, don't you have a way to heat the pool water?" Elaine complained: "And, you don't really need to take a hot bath..."
"Oh, no, France's lightsaber is not precise enough. It is very troublesome to use this frequency adjustment. If its output is a little higher, it will boil the pool water quickly. But if you keep this minimum output, it will take a long time to boil the water to a decent temperature.
The bath water." Sir Gordon walked towards the pool and sat face to face with Elaine: "So I'd better use the ready-made bath water. What's more, let my subordinates know that I am not doing business and spent half an hour to use it.
If the lightsaber boils the bath water, my captain will lose all face. Hahahahaha."
A drop of sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead. He knew that Gordon definitely didn't come just to take a hot bath. This knight deliberately contacted Elaine, and he must have ulterior motives.
"I wouldn't say this in front of my subordinates, but -" Sure enough, Gordon spoke: "Do you really not remember what happened that night, Mr. Leo?"
"That...that night?"
"You really don't remember? That's fine." Gordon shrugged: "We all drank too much that night, that's why we did such ridiculous things. Since you don't remember, it's best, just let it all go.
Let it go with the water."
Many question marks appeared on Elaine's head.
"I just received the obituary a few days ago and was told that you are no longer alive." Sir Gordon added: "But you are still appearing in front of me in such a lively manner, so the obituary is indeed false. You are also infected.
He has such a beautiful hair color and has come to France to avoid the limelight... Pretending to be dead is indeed some kind of tax evasion method, right?"
"Big, probably..." Elaine didn't know how to answer better, so she just tried to muddle through.
"Then the death of your adoptive father, Sphinx, must have been faked? Was it also to avoid taxes?" the other party asked again. But as soon as he asked the question, he interrupted himself: "No, no, no, please don't tell me."
It’s better for me not to know about the secret plans of you big shots.”
"Ah, hahahaha..." Elaine simply smiled and continued to muddle through.
"But having said that, you really picked the worst time to come to France." Sir Gordon added, "You happened to come at the beginning of the [Great Troubles]."
"...big, big turmoil?"
"Have you really never heard of it?" Gordon lowered his voice again, as if he wanted to tell some huge secret: "According to an unknown source, the king of Soissons and Paris is actually no longer human.
, but was replaced by an artificial human by an organization. Regardless of whether this news is true or false, once this news spreads, the position of the two kings is very bad. There are many people in France who are originally dissatisfied with King Soissons and King Soissons.
The forces of the King of Paris, they are taking this opportunity to try... ahem (he lowered his voice)... to try to rebel."
Elaine swallowed. Everything was connected.
Pirates were also attacking the Port of Marseille before, and now there are so-called bandits who are causing trouble. The turmoil in France is all because the kings of two of the four French countries were accused of being artificial humans. And this evidence comes from not long ago.
Mr. Albert risked his life to take out the information from an underground research institute of the academy. According to the information, the current King Clotier of Soissons is indeed an artificial human being replaced by the academy.
The detailed list and original information should be in the hands of Great Britain. The Knights of Great Britain, no, King Arthur of Great Britain, in order not to create too big an image on the international situation, has not yet disclosed those information to any country. On the surface, he has indeed not done so.
But the cunning King of Great Britain must have secretly spread that information through some channel.
Originally, King Clothier of Soissons was not a good person and had already made many enemies. Now there is information proving that he is not a human being, but an artificial human created by the academy. If you know this, it would be strange if the whole of France is not excited.
That's right. No one has any substantial evidence to prove that King Clothier of Soissons is an android. Without evidence, it is impossible to blow Clothier's head to confirm whether there are any android control components inside. But [doubt]
] This incident itself is very terrifying. It doesn't even require evidence, just [suspicion] is enough to plunge an entire country into huge turmoil.
"Actually, in fact, there is no bandit group at all?" Elaine asked boldly: "You should, shouldn't you be...to assassinate King Clottier?"
"No, how is that possible?" The other party shrugged and said with a smile: "There are bandit groups. Those guys took advantage of the civil strife in the country and looted everywhere. That's why our team had to allocate these few manpower to suppress those little guys.
Thief. But now all the knights in the four countries of France are seriously short of manpower. They really want to borrow the paws of kittens."
"But, but this is the territory of the Kingdom of Soissons..." Elaine emphasized again: "You are the knights of the Kingdom of Metz."
"I know. That's why the Knights of the Dark Blue Rose sent this manpower." The knight simply said: "The group of thieves escaped from the territory of Metz. We came to hunt down the thieves, and we have already obtained the knights of the Kingdom of Soissons."
approval. In principle, there is no problem, right?"
Elaine then stopped questioning anything.
"Don't worry, we definitely can't come here to assassinate King Soissons." Gordon added: "Moreover, even if someone wants to assassinate King Soissons, there is no way to do it. No one knows about King Clotier
Where are you hiding now? He is not even in Soissons. The person who appears in Soissons is just his substitute."
"Why, why are you telling me this..."
"After all, we already have that kind of relationship, there's nothing wrong with telling you this, hahaha." Sir Gordon said with a joking smile.
So what kind of relationship does this guy have with Leo? Elaine is particularly depressed.
"Anyway, I'll give you a piece of advice, Mr. Leo. Leave France as soon as possible and don't stay for a moment. I would rather you travel around in Great Britain than in France. This country will soon become full of troubles."
battlefield, you would never want to get involved in the political struggles of France."
"I, I understand. Thanks for the advice." Elaine pretended to follow the other party's advice. However, in fact, he didn't care about the internal fighting in France at all. He originally planned to leave France by boat as soon as possible, go to Great Britain, and then go to Greenland.
.This group of crazy French guys fighting for power has nothing to do with him and he doesn't care.
"Let's put all that aside," Sir Gordon said with a smile: "Tonight's hunting of bandits is a good sideshow. If you want to come and visit, I have prepared a special seat for you. Come and see my knights."
Do we want to eliminate evil and eliminate evil, Mr. Leoport?"
"No, no need." The white lion man smiled bitterly and reached out to touch Bailey's head: "Here, there is a child with him. It's better not to let the child see anything too bloody.
."
"Hahaha, that's right," the other party said with a smile. He had already taken enough hot baths and got out of the bath first.
"I always feel like they are hiding something." After Sir Gordon left, Bailey whispered: "Every word he said sounded believable. But all the words together seemed like a huge lie."
"
"Or, maybe." Elaine also took enough hot baths and wrapped her cursed shoulder with a holy cloth: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, it doesn't matter."
"I hope so." the little fox said with a smile, but his face was thoughtful. This child is too smart, and may have thought of some things that even Elaine has not thought of. But Elaine did not intend to ask further, anyway, Shan
Whether it's the bandits or the turmoil in France, they don't need to worry about it after they board the ship to Great Britain tomorrow.
But before that...
Elaine suddenly noticed a silver light flashing in the distance. He alertly covered his hand with the holy cloth and reached out to grab it!
A dagger struck from a distance was caught in his hand. Because the holy cloth could never be cut, his hand was not injured. But the dagger that fell on the ground clearly shone with a dangerous depth.
The green light is obviously quenched with poison!
...If this kind of thing falls on Bailey, even if it only scratches a small wound, the consequences will be disastrous!
"The bandits are here so soon!" The white lion boy didn't care anymore and pulled Bailey and ran into the house: "Go inside quickly!"
"I haven't put on my pants yet!" The little fox ran awkwardly, no longer caring about his dignity. Another dagger flew over from a distance and hit Bailey in the back.
At this time, Elaine had already taken out the Luna Steel Shield and blocked the dagger with a wave of his hand. Under his cover, Bailey had already rushed into the house.
"Come here, Leo!" Sir Gordon was already waiting at the back door of the house. It was he who opened the door for Bailey just now.
"You still talk about suppressing, suppressing bandits," Elaine rushed in. As soon as he rushed in, Gordon closed the door: "Shan, the bandits took the initiative to attack!"
"Obviously they don't want to sit back and wait for death, and plan to strike first." Gordon said: "But don't worry! The combat power of those hundreds of bandits is not enough to threaten us, the Dark Blue Rose Knights. They leave their stronghold and take the initiative to attack.
We are here to die! Please hide on the second floor, we will eliminate them right away——"
Boom! Before Gordon could finish speaking, there was a loud noise from the roof. The bandits seemed to have used some kind of powerful explosive weapon, blowing off the entire roof of the village house!
