Chapter 161: Closing the Net

Aunt Leif leaves with Ruth, and the scene is restored to the tranquility of the night.

It's just that the way she looked at her before leaving made Charles feel very uneasy.

An evening breeze blew, swaying with the soulful and lifeless hairs.

Aunt Aalto looked at the real thing in front of her, and the expression on her face was extremely embarrassed.

Artoria gave her a knightly salute, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for taking care of Charles and Mordred during this time. ”

"You better call me by my name, my name is Marcy. Aunt Marcy scratched her head a little embarrassed, but she didn't know what to say.

As in many works, the police are always late after they have finished their work.

At this time, the high-pitched and loud horn sound in Mason City resounded in the sky.

Charles had heard the neighboring bears tell the difference between the trumpets of the army in the kingdom of Biberach, and now it sounded like the trumpets were blowing the Janissaries belonging to the kingdom.

"It's lively. Charles said, looking in the direction of the port.

In the army, different long and short tones form a horn sound that expresses different meanings. All of a sudden, the sound of trumpets representing "engagement," "battle," and "battle end," came from all over the city.

The sound of the horn "to meet the enemy" sounded almost simultaneously throughout the city, and soon after, the horn of "the battle is over" sounded one after another. It can be heard from the interval between the sound of the horns, the time of the battles that took place during this period was very short, and the sound of "reinforcements needed" was never sounded.

"Looks like the Praetorian Guards are coming prepared?" Charles said strangely.

"Of course. Artoria replied.

"Huh?" Charles looked at Artoria curiously, but she just smiled and didn't answer Charles's words.

Soon, Tonyo and several of them also arrived, and Charles's cry for help just now was so loud that they heard it from afar.

When they arrived, they greeted Charles, and then watched Artoria and Marcy chatting on the side.

They were joined by three humanoid dragons in purple and black armor.

They walked over to Nessario's side, saluted him, and reported back on the results of the evening's actions.

Soon, a series of horns sounded from the house where Charles had been staying during this time, and then Charles walked over to Marcie's side.

"Aunt Marcie," Charles said to her, "when asked, you will say that you are Artoria's sister, Marcie Poklonskaya, and that this time you are acting according to my instructions. ”

"Huh?" said Marcy, confused, "sir......

"It's okay. Artoria said, "Listen to him, it will save him a lot of trouble, or he will be in trouble." ”

Seeing that Marcy was still stunned, Charles said on the side, "Do you want to be her mother?"

Then he pulled Mordred, pointed at Marcie and said, "Hurry up and call Auntie." ”

Artoria nodded to Mordred.

With Mordred's "Auntie", Artoria, who was more than three hundred years old, had a sister who was three hundred years younger than her.

Modre then slipped Artoria's clothes, and Artoria crouched down and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Are you sure?" Artoria asked Mordred.

Mordred nodded affirmatively.

Then a silver sword appeared in Artoria's hand, which had been given to Mordred by the Great Elf.

Mordred took the sword and handed it to Marsie, "Auntie, this is for you. ”

At this time, Marcy was still holding the long sword she bought at the auction, but this long sword was bruised by Ruth in the battle just now, and it was not far from being scrapped. If it weren't for the power of this long sword, Marcy would have been cold by now.

Just as Marcie excused herself, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and a cavalry of the Praetorian Guard surrounded the people.

However, everyone didn't care about this, and after saying to Artoria, "I'll come back to you to play later", Nesario took the other three dragons and transformed into dragon forms at the same time, and flew away directly.

The Praetorian Guards were stunned for a while, and their commander rode forward a few steps, pointed at the people and shouted: "Which is the pretending Earl of Maccaden, hurry up and consciously stand up, otherwise I will do it!"

Baga?Yaga????

A raven, frightened by the dragons to fly away from the place, flew over the heads of the people.

These people, you look at me, I look at you, and then shake your head at the same time to indicate that there is no such person as you said.

In the end, Charles came out to dissolve the silence, and he beckoned to the Praetorian Guard officer who looked like a bear on the horse, "Xiongda, why are you here?"

The officer, who was called "Xiong Da" by Charles, was stunned for a moment, and he asked in disbelief, "Why are you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Charles asked rhetorically.

It's easy to meet acquaintances, and along the way, Charles gave a general description of what happened during this time, and Marsie's identity also took the opportunity to fool the past.

Now that the city of Mason is under martial law, in the port area, troop carriers have lowered groups of Praetorian Guards, and then these Janissaries have taken various points of Mason City according to their plan.

An ornate and huge tent was erected on the original freight yard in the port area, and the knights of the Royal Knights were stationed around the tent.

As Charles made his way to the tent, he saw groups of Praetorian Guard soldiers escorting prisoners in and out of the huge tent.

Except for Charles, who took Artoria to the tent to report, everyone else went to rest first.

After entering the tent, Charles was surprised to find that Rose, the second princess of the Kingdom of Biberach, had arrived, sitting behind a table flanked by Elizabeth drinking tea and an elderly priest in a blue robe who was closing her eyes and recuperating.

With a tired look on her face, Rose asked Charles to sit down at the empty seat in front of the table, in front of which lay a stack of parchment paper and quills.

She said to Charles: "Charles, although you are very tired, you can't rest yet. Now it's up to you to write down what happened in the past few days. ”

Then she snorted coldly, "These people are really daring, they dare to find someone to pretend to be a nobleman." ”

After hearing Rose circle the emphasis, Charles began to write his own confession in understanding.

It's not a sin to hype up crystals or something, and things like colluding with demons shouldn't be put on the table to say, so the real crime of the dealers this time is to find someone to pretend to be a nobleman.

In a class society, there is no upper limit to this crime. Judging from the history of the nobles around Mason City and the surrounding areas of the royal family for many years, if the royal family does not clean up these counts and marquis this time, the brain will be replaced by a slime.

Charles spent a lot of time writing down his experiences these days, focusing on Lorenzo's letting himself pass off as a nobleman at the beginning.

As he wrote, he asked, "Your Royal Highness, why did you come in person?"

"Hmph......" Rose snorted coldly again, "Do you think Bard really needs me to accompany him personally to marry Susie?"

Charles wrote it down, and then quickly figured it out.

It seems that the royal family has noticed that something is wrong with Mason City, after all, hyping up the crystal requires a lot of prior contact and preparation, and the dealers obviously showed their feet, and then the royal family made a series of preparations.

Charles naturally didn't know about the intrigue and intrigue behind this, and Elizabeth was obviously deeply involved in this matter.

Judging by the current situation, it is clear that the two princesses have reached some kind of agreement.

It's just that this kind of thing is only mentioned in the history books, and the real details will only appear in the internal textbooks of the royal family.

If Charles wanted to know, he could only find an opportunity to ask Elizabeth for advice.

After writing the "confession" as Rose asked, Charles pressed the wax seal on each piece of parchment with his power ring.

The old priest opened his eyes, and he took the parchment that Charles had written, and stamped it with magic.

At this time, Elizabeth said goodbye to Rose and the old priest, and she left the tent with Charles.

She said to Charles, "Let's go, let's move the gold coins." ”
