Chapter 1488 Beautiful New World Six
"Who?!" Hearing the footsteps outside the cave, Arthur couldn't help but be alert. (He screamed and immediately regretted it!)
That person can never be Merlin, because Merlin is manipulating the shadow of the crow, it is just a virtual shadow, unable to do any physical interference to the world, and even less likely to have footsteps.
In the middle of the night, some people have explored the caves of such wild mountains and mountains. It is estimated that most of them are not good. Arthur couldn't help but clench his sword and be ready to fight.
Of course, his sword has remained unstretched. He is confident that the sword will be taken out to the opponent's head and it will take less than half a second. He can easily take off his opponent's life with a sword, but he still has to be low-key - if the other party is not malicious?
The scabbard was Arthur's killing of the British. He was a poorly crafted sheath, which also had a vague smell. However, it is best that such a scabbard can properly cover the gorgeousness of the sword hidden in it, because the silver sword will emit a faint excess light in the darkness, and the person who knows the goods will instantly realize that it is a rare treasure. , it will start to worry.
The footsteps are heavy and sound like a knight in full armor. Arthur couldn't help but be more nervous. When he really got it, didn't he know if his sword could open the other's heavy armor?
"Hahaha, don't worry, child, I am not malicious." A hunched old man led a donkey and approached the cave.
Arthur was relieved. It turned out that the footsteps were not the footsteps of the heavy armor, but the sound of the iron hoof when the donkey walked.
By the fire, Arthur looked at the old man. The old man looked like a weather-stained look, his clothes were ragged and full of patches. The old donkey, led by the old man, carried all kinds of messy baggage, and he was so worried that he couldn’t help but worry about the donkey. He was afraid that it would be crushed by luggage without taking a few steps. However, although the old donkey was a decadent, he was still very reliable. He walked with the baggage like a mountain, and he did not show any strenuous appearance.
Carrying so much luggage out, the old man is either traveling long distances or a dealer.
"You are -?" Arthur tried to ask in the most authentic French language he could use. In order to avoid being suspected of having done a lot of hard work, he couldn't help but regret why he just called out if he didn't think so much. If he saved this call, he might still pretend to be dumb.
"It’s just a travel agent, boy." The old man replied, the answer was basically the same as Arthur’s guess: "Can I come in for a rest? I don’t want to spend the night in the wilderness."
You are looking for a place to make a fire. Arthur wondered. But he didn't want to be too rude, he replied with a smile: "Okay, old man, come in and rest."
"Thank you." The old man approached the fire unceremoniously, and asked him: "Well, your accent is a little weird. Where are you from?"
"Plus." Finally, I was asked this question, but Arthur was already ready, so I sang, "My mother is British, so I sometimes inevitably bring a British accent when I speak."
He specially selected one of the most remote and closest areas to the UK to answer, so that he could cover up the problem of his accent as much as possible.
"Oh, come over. Isn't there already already fallen?" The old man looked at Arthur and said, "Are you a refugee who escaped from there? But it is not like a refugee to see your clothes."
"When Calais was attacked, I was not there." Arthur saw that his lie was almost revealing, and he couldn't help but edit it now, and he treated the past as much as possible: "In short, the situation is more complicated, please don't Ask too much, okay?"
"Okay." The old man saw Arthur as a weak boy, and he did not take much care of the boy. He sat down on the side and found a stone to sit down and warm around the bonfire: "What a terrible world, I I heard that Orleans has also been attacked recently, and it is estimated that it will soon fall. In this way, half of France will fall into the hands of the British and the erections. I also went to Canada when I was doing business. The situation there can be described as tragic. The group of British crickets are no different from the bandits. They can grab the robs, burn all the burnt, and burn the odor of the corpses everywhere."
Arthur’s eyes turned, and my heart was thinking fast. Although he still has a warning to the strange old man, he wants to know more about the world from the mouth of the old man. He knows nothing about the world. The biggest disadvantage of this is to make up for it through positive intelligence gathering. It is best to ask travel agents who travel around the traders. In the worst case, if Arthur had anything to say, he could pull the sword to kill the old man. Although it may be a bit sorry for this person, it is not dangerous to kill people in this wilderness. As long as the body is handled, there is no influence on Arthur.
auzw.com "I am a countryman and I don't know anything about the international situation." Arthur continued to write now: "How bad is the situation? Why did England fight with France?" ?"
"Because Henry VI." The old man replied with a sigh of relief: "A devil who may also be the heir to the British and French kings."
"Henry VI?"
"Why, you don't even know this?" The merchant's old man whitened Arthur: "Henry VI is the only son of King Henry V and Queen Catherine of England, and Catherine's father is the French King Charles VI. The little devil was a man of both the British and French ancestors. But when the two kings died at the same time, Henry VI was only a few months old and was under the protection of the French Crown Prince Charles VII.
Charles VII certainly did not want Henry VI to be the king of France. However, the British side unilaterally declared Henry VI to be the King of France. The current Duke of Bedford asked Charles VII to surrender King Henry VI. So they just got it. "
"Hey," Arthur listened quietly and did not comment.
"In your opinion, how should this be solved?" The old man suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked: "In my opinion, none of the two groups is absolutely just. Some people will say that this is the British aggression. France, but some people think that this is just a war waged by the British to recapture their king. In any case, as long as the position is changed, each side of the English and French can be just, and every party can be Unrighteous."
"Well, I don't understand very well." Arthur stalked and tried: "Why should you ask me this question? I am just a villager from the country. I don't understand anything about the world." "
"It has nothing to do with the level of education, the child." The old man said, "I ask you this kind of question because I think you and I are the same person, the same kind, the reasoning person. You and those who are killing for the benefit. The eyes of the British are different. You are also different from the French who have killed their eyes for revenge. You stand outside the office, look more real, understand the affairs better, and make a more objective evaluation of this matter."
"Yes." Arthur frowned, completely ignorant of what the old man suddenly asked him for. However, Arthur is not afraid to answer this question. As he had thought before, even if he doesn't answer well, he can kill the old man directly to destroy it. Anyway, he has no loss: "Okay, I will try." Let's evaluate it."
"In fact, there is no absolute justice or absolute evil in the war. The war will never change. It is just a group of people who are trying to find some kind of interest, but they are doing something to another group." Arthur calmly analyzed: "So the British and the French who participated in this war are just as bad. After all, both sides should die."
"Is this your answer?" The old man smiled mysteriously.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet." Arthur continued: "But there is one thing I can't quite understand. British soldiers are killing people. They are killing innocent people. They are like a locust, one by one." The villages looted and set fire to killing. This behavior has lost the style of the knighthood, and the practice is no different from the bandits. They become too greedy, not only to regain their kings, but to fight from France. The civilians seized wealth in their hands."
Said here, the boy can not help but clench his fist: "This guy will die. If I have the power, see this greedy British bandit, it must be to see one kill."
"While, this is indeed the case." The old man smiled: "My thoughts are exactly the same as you. Good boy, I really didn't find the wrong person."
"What?" Arthur couldn't help but be confused. Is this looking for him with the old man?
"The sword on your back, can you look at the old man?" The old man turned his head and said that Arthur’s sword was on his back.
Hearing the other person said, Arthur couldn't help but get nervous and his eyes wide.
The sword he carried was protected by the rough leather scabbard. Even under ordinary lighting conditions, the average person should not be able to immediately understand the true value of the sword.
But the old man, the traveler of unknown origin, actually saw through the swaying bonfire in the dark cave that the handle on Arthur’s back was a sword! This can't help but let Arthur wonder, thinking that the old man might be the idea to hit his sword!
"You don't have to be afraid, boy." The old man saw Arthur's face nervous, so he smiled and added: "I won't your sword."
Oh, I gave you the sword. Since I have entrusted it to you, why do you want to take it back at this time? "
