"Hmm, how do you know the habits of those crows?" asked Howard out of curiosity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This question made Howard smile smugly, and he wiped the bridge of his nose: "Because in my most boring period, I used to sign up to be a crow officer for half a year, and I spent all day with those guys. ”

"Crow officer?"

"Yes, only the crow officer can gain the trust of the black crows, so that they can willingly fly outside and wander for an hour. ”

"Oh~ Then how can I buy off the current crow official? or... Threat. ”

"No, I don't have to. Howard smiled slyly: "He is my old subordinate, and my old friend for many years, he just retired from the army this year, you know, you must have more than twenty-two years of military experience to run for Raven Officer...... I think he'll be willing to help me with that. ”

But he must have known that it would be dangerous, and that if he didn't get it right, he would be put to death. ”

"So my only request was to take him with the fleet when it left, he was as adventurous as I was, and he was an old bachelor with no family. ”

"Small meaning. Zheng Fei readily agreed, paused, and turned his gaze to Alan next to him: "When can we enter the Tower of London?"

"The king said tomorrow morning, just in time for you to get ready. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first, help me prepare fifty craftsman's clothes, and I'm going to replace all the maintenance team with my people, in case there will be an emergency inside. In order to avoid being discovered by the king, I will have my men mix up in disguise tonight and set off together tomorrow morning. ”

"Uh..."Howard lowered his eyebrows, looking puzzled: "Actually, there is no need to do this at all, I have the best escort team in my manor, they are all elite veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they are also loyal to me and worthy of trust." ”

"But I'm not optimistic about their fighting ability. ”

"Believe me, they are all masters of melee combat, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not lost to the Praetorian Guard. "Howard still wants to fight for it, and he wants to contribute more.

However, to his disappointment, Zheng Fei still shook his head.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, one of the soldiers under my command can fight ten. ”

"Well, that's probably the warrior of Celtic mythology," Howard grinned, not thinking he was telling the truth.

"Well, I know you don't believe it, but soon you'll be able to see their formidable fighting power, so get ready and see you tomorrow. Zheng Fei gestured, got up and paced to the mirror, gluing the beard he had torn off earlier.

"That's really exciting. Howard and the brothers stood up and sent him to the door.

......

Dock, on deck.

Zheng Fei emerged from the cabin, walked on the deck, and stood on the bow to admire the tranquil River Thames, the mother river of England known for its static beauty.

He threw his arms on the railing, unscrewed the lid of the flask, and drank slowly.

I took out the colorful shell from my bosom, and in the reflection of the sun, it exuded a different kind of brilliance, Bulling.

If it was in the past, he must be smiling at this moment, but today, his face is occupied by melancholy, staring at the colorful shell, his thoughts are fluttering.

That's it, I don't know how long it took.

"Captain?"

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Turning around, it was Ares with a solemn face.

"Oh, how's the preparation?"

"Almost, a hundred guns had been lifted off the ship in cargo boxes, and had now been safely transported to a warehouse a few hundred meters from the Tower of London, ready for a storm. ”

"Well, as soon as I signal, I'll support immediately, and if I don't, stay where I am and don't act rashly. ”

signal, with something similar to fireworks, Europe of this era has long developed primitive rockets.

"Yes. Ares replied sonorously, standing with his chest puffed up, waiting for Zheng Fei to give him another command.

At this time, he noticed the shell in Zheng Fei's hand.

"Uh, I don't see you still like this, Captain?" he smiled, trying his best to learn how to amuse Santiago, though he didn't think he had much talent for it.

"Why, I can't like it?" replied Zheng Fei.

"No, no, I just think that a resolute and brave person like you shouldn't be interested in colored shells, after all, it's a little girl's favorite..."

But what he didn't expect was that Zheng Fei smiled happily.

"You know, the braver a person is, the more like a child? He pinched the shell and smiled, "It's the hardest and most beautiful shell I've ever seen, and I want to make it into a badge." ”

With that, he took the shell into his arms, patted Ares on the shoulder, and headed back to the cabin.

The cabin was quiet, for Britney had gone to talk to Teresa early in the morning, and they were often exchanging anecdotes or knowledge together, and no one expected them to be rivals in love.

Zheng Fei dragged out an old box from under the bed, patted off the dust that had fallen on it, slowly opened the lid of the box, and took out something that had not been seen for a long time from inside.

Eternal Knife.

The legend of King Arthur, which originated in England, was sung throughout Europe with the migration of the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table.

With the pleasant sound of metal rubbing, Zheng Fei pulled out the extremely sharp treasure knife and gently tapped it on the back of the knife with his fingers, making a buzzing sound.

I don't know if this knife can still be used, where are the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table in England located?

Knights of glory, wherever you fall, accept the call, gather in the light of this temple to revive the majesty of King Arthur's time.

He threw up his arm and swung his knife in the air, staring at its cold blade, feeling the pleasure of it tearing through the air.

He took a deep breath, sheathed it, put it in a box, and tucked it back under the bed.

Sitting down at the table, he took out his nautical diary, dipped his quill pen in ink and wrote something, and then stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck.

"Kura, come here. He beckoned to a Spartan leader who knew Latin.

At the instruct, Kura immediately held his head high in respect and ran quickly.

"Go and help me gather forty-nine of the most elite warriors. ”

"I'm the best, master. Kula's face was arrogant and stubborn.

"Okay, count you in. Zheng Fei smiled: "Go ahead." ”

After half an hour, the disguised Spartan warriors disembarked in batches, slipped into the city for a while, and after making sure that no one was following, they went to Howard Manor according to the route map given by Zheng Fei.

Zheng Fei climbed the watchtower and looked down on the London docks, which were crowded with tens of thousands of people, and who knows how many of these people were the king's eyeliner.

He curled the corners of his mouth indifferently and went back to the house to disguise.

One day, the plain passed, and no episodes happened.

The next morning, a team of fifty craftsmen, led by the Alan Beale brothers, arrived at the heavily guarded Tower of London.
