Being frightened by Arthur, the chicken skewers in Verne's hands really fell to the ground this time. He couldn't help but pout.
Arthur frowned deeply.
There are still three days left before Joan of Arc's public trial. No, two and a half days at most, because it is already noon on the 28th.
Fortunately, Arthur is in Dover, England, which is not far from Rouen, France. However, the level of photon civilization in this world is extremely low. The only means of long-distance travel are horse-drawn carriages and sailing ships. To get to Rouen from here, you have to take a boat.
Riding a horse. If something unexpected happens during the ride, you may not be able to make it in time for Joan of Arc’s trial!
"Verne, take care of everything, we'll leave immediately for Rouen!" the King of Knights said hurriedly.
"You didn't even eat lunch?" Verne picked up the chicken skewers on the ground with a look of helplessness and used the water in the leather bag to wash off the dirt attached to them.
"Um"
Gu Although the matter was urgent, Arthur's body was still very honest, and his stomach drummed reasonably at this time.
Arthur sat down again. King of Knights, why are you in such a hurry? He advised himself. There is no point in being anxious. Do you plan to rush to Rouen overnight to rob the prison? This will not save Joan of Arc, nor will she be saved.
Greenville. Impulse can't save anyone. This is something Arthur has known since he was a child. This matter is of great importance and must be planned in detail.
"Neigh, neigh, neigh, neigh!" While the King of Knights was trying to persuade himself to calm down, a long neigh interrupted his thoughts. A white horse walked over from the side of the camp full of curiosity.
"Xiaoxing?" the Knight King hummed.
"Hey, little Xiaoxing!" Verne seemed to be very familiar with Xiaoxing. When he saw the white horse coming, he immediately took out the prepared carrots from his trouser pocket and threw it to the white horse. Xiaoxing also jumped up and took a bite.
Live the carrots and eat them with gusto.
"This kid is amazing." Verne put the chicken skewers and rabbit skewers by the campfire and slowly roasted them. He ran over and stroked the white horse's mane. "He saved me several times when I was fighting those monsters."
, just using the front hooves will kick the shit out of the monsters!"
Of course. This white horse is actually the transformation of Xia Shuanglong Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing is the son of evil star. Although it is only a young dragon over two hundred years old, the dragon's combat power cannot be underestimated. He started to take care of some small and medium-sized dragons.
Warcraft is naturally more than enough.
Dragon? The King of Knights rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a way.
As long as he remains unseen, Arthur can even fly to Rouen overnight on the Dawn Star. The dragon's maneuverability is comparable to that of a cavalry, so the distance is not a problem.
But this is a very risky behavior. If someone sees his actions at night, not to mention Arthur's collusion with the dragons, he may even be regarded as a wizard. At that time, he will be troubled by the Inquisitor.
It was him. This had to be done in the dead of night, without bystanders. Naturally, Verne could not be brought with him this time. The child knew nothing about the magical world, and did not even know that Xiaoxing was a dragon, let alone
Knowing that Bediwell is actually a human-wolf demon who turned into a big white wolf.
Moreover, Arthur plans to rob the court this time. A public trial is imminent, and Joan of Arc will naturally be closely guarded in prison. I am afraid there will be no chance to save others. The only chance to do anything is on the eve of the execution, and Arthur plans to force
He broke into the execution ground and kidnapped Joan of Arc. Although he knew that things might not go as smoothly as imagined and the situation was urgent, it could only be like this.
"Verne, you stay in Dover and stay quietly with Bedi." The Knight King then said, "I'll ride the Dawn Star and ride over there overnight to save people. Let's do it like this."
"Lord Aslan, are you serious?" The boy was still leaning on the chicken skewers trying to calm down. The half-cooked chicken was sizzling in front of the campfire and began to give off a very tempting fragrance.
"Seriously. You never know how important Joan of Arc is to me." Arthur replied, "I will definitely save her. But, in order to prevent this matter from messing up, I will leave you an insurance policy first."
He took out a bag of gold coins from his waist pocket, as if he knew he had the money with him from the beginning. "You know, kid. The war between Britain and France is indeed over, but there will definitely be a bloody storm next.
These two countries. I will give you this money, and you also have good livelihood skills. Next, you have three choices. Either stay in my territory and wait for me to come back; or go back to your father and try to get it from him.
Asylum; you can also leave this land of right and wrong, find a pure land away from the war in the UK or the European continent, and live peacefully. This is your choice, I will not force you.
But, you have to know that there will be no real justice in the war that has ended and the war that is about to happen, whether it is England or France.
It is a purely dirty and evil power game in itself.
If possible, I hope you stay away from it and don't get involved in such stupid disputes and lose your life in vain. But it all depends on your choice."
Verne's eyes widened and he looked at Arthur blankly. "Are we going to part ways? Just like that?"
"You can also wait for me here, if I can come back alive. But don't have high expectations. If I haven't come back after three days, you should leave. "Knightly Way" is right. If you want to stay away from the war, you
You can go to the Meyerson Brotherhood. I will prepare a letter of introduction for you. The Brotherhood should give you appropriate protection."
The child looked confused.
"The same goes for Bedi, if I don't come back after three days, you can find a way to join me in Rouen." The King of Knights said to the big white wolf again, while packing his luggage and jumping on the horse.
"Woof!" Bedivere shouted.
"Wait!" Before King Arthur rode away, Verne said, "Although I didn't spend much time with you, it was a very interesting time, Lord Aslan. I will wait for you to come back, you want more
Take care of yourself."
"Yeah." Arthur forced out a faint smile, then galloped away.
He came and went in a hurry, traveling several miles in an instant on the back of the dragon horse, and could already see the coastline of Dover. Although the war had just ended and the port was somewhat depressed, the Port of Dover was still extremely important to England.
There is an endless stream of cargo ships and warships going back and forth in the port, and at least thirty ships enter and leave the port at the same time.
If you want to avoid these ships and leave the port to reach the opposite coast of France, you have to either make a big detour or do it in the dark at night.
"Can you cross the sea in this case, Xiaoxing?" The King of Knights asked when he saw that no one was watching around.
"I guess it's difficult. There are too many ships traveling back and forth on the sea, and they will be seen." Xiaoxing replied.
Xia Shuang Long Xiaoxing just transformed into a horse to deceive others. It would be a piece of cake for him, who was originally a dragon, to fly across the strait to France on the other side. But doing so would definitely make him extremely conspicuous.
"How about using illusions?" the King of Knights asked again. Isn't Xiaoxing very good at using illusions?
"Illusion has a range of influence, Uncle Arthur." "Dawn Star Reach" I can indeed make people within two hundred yards see through my disguise. But if anyone uses a telescope to look at it from further away, both of us will be exposed.
"
Moreover, Xiaoxing is a rare Xia Shuang Dragon. His body looks like white scales from a distance, and alternately reflects blue-purple and golden-red flashes. It is very dazzling. In the daytime, it is almost 100% visible to people from a distance.
Two hundred yards on the sea is a distance that is neither far nor close. Boaters will inevitably hire lookouts with good eyesight. These lookouts hold high-power telescopes to spot the dawn stars traveling on the sea.
It's not difficult. Then it will cause an uproar. This is obviously not the ending Arthur wants.
"Sure enough, we can only wait until night." Arthur touched his chin and thought.
"As expected, we can only wait until night." Xiaoxing repeated Arthur's words jokingly. "The most I can do is take Uncle Arthur to the port. Unless I find a boat to cross the sea from the port now, I can only swim there at night. Britain and France
The country has just ceased war and the situation is still very tense. If you want to rely on civilian ships to cross the sea, it probably depends on your luck."
"Indeed." The Knight King thought again. Maybe he can rely on his own status to cross the sea. Although the Dover Port is not under his control, he is the lord of Dover after all, so he naturally knows how to manipulate Dover.
You must be a nobleman from Irport. In this case, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow a boat to cross the sea.
He was afraid that the English people were too inefficient in doing things. He applied to the people at the port to meet with the nobles, but it was already night before he actually met with them and borrowed the boat. If he was unlucky, he would have to stay to eat and entertain the nobles there, which would take half a day.
, wouldn’t it be possible to set off until late at night? At that time, it would be better to just let Xiaoxing take Arthur across the sea, and there would be no need to find a boat?
"Xiaoxing, is your transformation spell limited to turning into a horse? Can you turn into other big fish, such as dolphins?"
"Dolphins are not fish, they are mammals." Xiaoxing replied without thinking.
"Don't worry about the details." A vein popped up on Arthur's forehead. "So I wonder if you can change."
"Yes. It's just not perfect." Xiao Xingdao. "For example, the tail is still a dragon's tail, only half of the front part looks like a dolphin. The swimming speed is definitely not comparable to that of a real dolphin."
"That's okay." The Knight King hummed, "Change the route. The target is not the Port of Dover, but the uninhabited rocky beach next to the port. There are many reefs there, and ships can't get close, so it's just right for us to move."
Xiaoxing thought for a while, "Uncle Arthur is planning to let me turn into a dolphin and take you across the sea?"
"Yeah. There used to be this kind of scenario. Dolphins would rescue people who fell into the water and bring them to the shore. Even if I cross the sea with a dolphin in my arms and I am seen halfway, it will usually not make the other party suspicious. All you have to do is bring the person out of the water.
Just change the first half of the body into a dolphin. It's a transformation spell, not an illusion. It won't be revealed if someone sees it with a telescope, right?" asked the King of Knights.
"really."
"So, can it be done?"
"Hey, hey, it's all on me!" Xia Shuanglong said, speeding up and running towards the deserted coastline.
