Chapter 69: The Kamran Plains
The Royal of Scotland is speeding on steel tracks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The railway is flanked by trees that are sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, and because you drive on the plains, you can see the slowly growing towns in the distance.
The five-car train, chartered by the Magic Society, departed from London and after a slow two-hour journey, it was about to reach its destination, Camran.
Located in the middle of the Kamran Plains, next to the Hill of Sword, where King Arthur and the rebel knight Mordred were said to have fought a decisive battle, the town has grown in tourism thanks to this unique historical and cultural background.
Of course, the most important thing for those who come here is not to go to the hill of the sword fence to watch, now it is just a small hill overgrown with grass and trees, there is no such bloody scene at that time, and it is impossible to restore the decisive battle between King Arthur and Mordred at that time.
So most of the people who come here are going to see another place.
King Arthur's Garden of Spirit.
On one side of the hill of the Fence, opposite the town, a thick wall of white marble encloses a lake and a towering tree, where King Arthur was said to have slept.
A large stone tablet stands under an ancient tree, inscribed with the handwriting of the Knights of the Round Table, Bedwell.
Hic-jacet-ArthurusRex-quondam-Rexque-futurus
Arthur, the King of Eternity, rests here.
The color of that myth has been washed away by history, and finally deposited here, surrounded by city walls, and located in a large meadow behind ancient trees and lakes, there are countless white stone monuments erected.
There is no inscription on the name of the deceased, or it is not the tomb of the deceased in the first place, but the tomb made by people to commemorate King Arthur, as if there were countless unknown knights guarding King Arthur.
In the deepest part of the garden, there is a white sacrificial palace, which is placed in the huge round table symbolizing freedom and equality of the legendary Knights of the Round Table, but it does not match the huge number of one hundred and fifty in the legend, although the round table is still huge, but the upper limit of the number of people who can sit around is only thirteen.
King Arthur, and the twelve Knights of the Round Table.
Whenever people come here to admire, they will admire the greatness and sacredness of this place, just like the feeling engraved on the tombstone, as if King Arthur is still alive here, watching over the world.
However, today is a regular maintenance day, so the King Arthurian Garden is not open to the public.
Of course, the real reason is because of the group of magicians who are coming.
The Scottish Royal is an old train, and even if it has been repaired by many hands and has a lot of government subsidy maintenance, it can only keep it running, but it can't increase its speed.
Originally, it only took half an hour to get from London to Camland, but the Royal of Scotland took about two hours to arrive.
However, it does make people enjoy the comfort of the Scottish Royal even more.
On the outside, it looks like a modest train, but the interior is entirely designed in the style of the British royal family, with each carriage divided into eight compartments, each of which has been handcraftsman-decorated, with comfortable sofa seats and beautiful frescoes, as well as well-designed long tables and glass chandeliers fishing on the top of the carriages.
Each of them can be called a work of art.
Of course, the Scottish Royal is not the same characteristic, only two of the five carriages are designed in this way, and the central one is used as a ballroom space for tea parties, and the sofas in a circle allow the noble royal family to meet face-to-face while drinking the purest black tea.
The last two carriages are the kitchen and the warehouse, and even if only a very small number of people get on the train, they must prepare a full warehouse of food, or not so much as the variety of food that needs to be prepared.
It's a treat for the Scottish royal family.
Luo Wei sat in the first compartment of the first carriage, opened the window, blew fresh air, and took a sip of black tea on the table.
"I feel like I don't want to get out of the car. ”
Although it is an old train, it doesn't wobbly much, which is probably why it moves very slowly.
"I feel the same way, it's so comfortable. ”
Sitting across from Rowe was Rika Fujimaru, who had changed into a black chronometer tower uniform and took a sip from her teacup, which was previously a black tea that only the royal family could enjoy. A short orange hair was scattered, and the hair that was not tied with a hair ornament fluttered in the wind, probably because the breeze was too comfortable, and the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a happy expression.
Sitting next to Rika Fujimaru was Matthew, who was also dressed in a watch tower uniform, wearing a pair of eyes, and the state of being wrapped in full armor when fighting her was very different.
"Whew~" Next to Luo Wei, who was enjoying the royal black tea and leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa and breathing a sigh of relief, it was X, who was still wearing a peaked cap and a sportswear, returning to the original equipment, and the girl was enjoying a rare good time.
This is exactly the train that Lowe got on time to get to the London railway station, the Scottish Royal chartered by the Magic Society, each box is designed to seat four people, and it just so happens that Lowe, X, Rika Fujimaru and Matthew are sitting in a box.
After communicating with Miria, Rowe went to the Tower of Clocks to talk to Ermelo II about something, and then rushed to the Templar to call X, and the two of them hurried to the main entrance of the London train station just in time for the clock to reach twelve.
At that time, quite a few people had gathered, and a large number of men in black had gathered there, surrounding Lenys and other magicians.
Those men in black, Rowe, had seen them too, the ones who rushed to Messery's hospital room last time.
However, this time they are not enemies, after connecting with Rhaenys, Rowe found that in addition to the Animus Fia family, who participated in the Holy Grail War, there are several magicians found by Rhaenys, but Rowe doesn't know them.
Etnia was among them, but she didn't pay attention to Rovi, and Rowe didn't pay attention to her, and from the side of her face, Eteria's hair had grown a lot, and her expression had always been indifferent, and she didn't communicate with anyone at all.
Fortunately, Luo Wei saw Fujimaru Rika and Matthew again, and the four of them occupied the box first.
"Anyway, the destination this time is King Arthur's Garden in Kamran, right, where are you going to summon the Heroic Spirit?" Fujimaru Rika asked Rovi, who she didn't know.
After all, the Caldean summoning system is still a little different from the ordinary Heroic Spirit Summoning, so what the official Heroic Spirit Summoning is, Fujimaru Rika is not clear.
"It is said that the round table of the Knights of the Round Table is to be used as a holy relic to summon the Heroic Spirits, in that case, it is basically certain that the summoned members are members of the Knights of the Round Table, they were elite beings as knights during their lifetimes, and after becoming the Heroic Spirits, they are even more first-class level, and the head of the Rhaenys family probably wants to use this as a basis to gain an advantage at the beginning. Rowe spoke his analysis, and if there was anything about Lyenys going to King Arthur's Garden, it was only the Heroic Spirit who summoned it.
She wasn't like someone who went back to visit the Ancient King's Spiritual Garden.
Moreover, Ermero's maid Gray is the tomb keeper of King Arthur's Garden, and the relationship between the two families is also very close, which is why most of the relics of Ermelo's family are related to the mythical City of Camelot, or rather the Knights of the Round Table.
Of course, there are also sacred relics that belong to Celtic mythology, such as the fragment that Rowe used to summon the master.
It's just that Luo Wei didn't expect that Rhaenys would actually call so many people to summon the Heroic Spirit.
But if you think about it, it's also correct, although the Tower of Clocks hasn't found any wild masters for two and a half years, but maybe someone did it deliberately, just like the Atlas Academy may come to create chaos this time, so it would be better to bring more magicians.
"Then again, Ritsuka, is it possible that you are also here to summon the Heroic Spirit this time?"
Luo Wei was curious, since she had already signed a master-slave relationship with Matthew, could she conclude it again?
Although he is like this with X, but there is no clear spell as a connection, and Luo Wei has guessed before that his relationship with X is like the original Holy Grail War without the bondage of the spell, so it seems not impossible to summon the Heroic Spirit again, as evidenced by Skaha.
It's just the appearance of Fujimaru Rika, and whether he can summon the second servant is a question.
"Ah, no, no, I'm here to serve as a guard, after all, I'm also an opening magician. As she spoke, Rika Fujimaru pointed to the golden badge on her chest.
Undoubtedly a testament to the opening magician.
Speaking of which, after Fujimaru Rika changed out of the Chaldean uniform, without the restraint of the tights and the outline of the two straps, the girl's chest seemed to be a little flatter.
Rather, it is somewhat similar to the hill of the sword fence on the Kamran Plains.
"So you're just here to protect people?"
"Miss Etnia, to be exact, that's what the head of the Marisbilly family told me anyway. Rika Fujimaru added.
Luo Wei sighed.
Originally, he thought that the Animsfia family had some special method for Rika Fujimaru to summon the second servant, but it seemed impossible?
In that case, you might be able to use this to understand what the situation between yourself and X is, but now it seems that there is no play.
"Master..."X slapped Rowe's arm, and Rowe turned his head to find that the teacup in X's hand was empty.
"Oh, wait a minute. Rowe expertly rang the bell at his table, which he had done countless times along the way.
Soon, the door of the box was opened, and a waiter in a white men's dress walked in, bent with one hand and hanging a white rag, bowed slightly, and asked, "Do you have any needs?"
"Please add black tea. Rowe gestured to X's teacup.
"Okay, wait a minute. With that, the attendant took a step back and left the box, slowly closing the door.
After the attendant left, the girl opposite picked up the black tea and took a sip.
"Is this the service...."Rika Fujimaru, who didn't have the opportunity to experience the service of the royal family, sighed.
"This is the service!" Luo Wei, who also had no chance, sighed, and drank the remaining black tea in his cup in one gulp.
It wasn't long before the attendants arrived with a silver cart, and the white porcelain teapot was placed on it, looking a little empty, which was the highest standard of the royal family.
After adding black tea to the four people present, the attendant retreated politely.
The four of them took a sip of black tea at the same time, and then took a long breath and enjoyed a happy time.
It's a pity that happy times always pass quickly.
"Arrive at Kamran station ahead, please be ready to get off. ”
The briefing, a veteran crew member who had been working for the Scottish Royal Family for 30 years, told Rowe that their happy journey was coming to an end.
The four people who were a little discouraged enjoyed the last black tea, the speed of the train slowly slowed down, and finally stopped, and the black-clothed people on the platforms on both sides formed two human guardrails at the same distance, protecting the train in it and preventing the surrounding idlers from coming.
Dangdang's knock was heard, and the voice of Rhaenys through the door panel was heard.
"Get off, lazy bugs. ”
This was followed by the sound of noisy footsteps, presumably from the other boxes getting out of the car one after another.
Rowe was the last to disembark from the Scottish Queen, and in just two hours they formed a friendship with the historic train, and before leaving, Rowe gently stroked the iron sheet of the train, as if to say goodbye.
Rhaenys, who could only stand by and on the sidelines, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this.
"Are you three-year-olds? ”
Etnia glanced at Rovi and left with a cold expression.
But what they didn't see was a glimmer of light in Rowe's fingertips.
A group of magicians, under the protection of the men in black, walked out of Kamran Station.
There was a wide avenue in front of the station, where six cars could be put down and walked side by side, and it was crowded with people on both sides, not because of anything else, but because of the group of men in black who blocked the road.
The crowd of onlookers guessed that some big man was coming, so they whispered around the side.
Several black cars drove over and stopped at the exit of the station, waiting for the magicians to arrive.
Truth be told, this is one of the reasons why the Clock Tower has a disagreement with the Atlas Academy and the Wandering Sea.
Magic represents mystery, so magicians generally do not expose themselves to ordinary people, in order to protect the mystery of magic, but the formation of Rhaenys's trip this time is completely how to attract people's attention, which is different from the concept of ordinary magicians.
Of course, this is not the kind of formation on this trip, Lynyss only wants to attract those hostile elements hidden in the crowd in this way, although they will be secretly observed, but through the clues Lynyss can also find them, especially if they use magic, they can't escape Lyness's magic eye anyway.
Walking out of the station, Rhaenys slowly turned her head and glanced around, but found nothing.
That is, there are no enemies, or the enemies are not using magic or something.
Rhaenys was a little disappointed, she had a feeling that someone was secretly planning to deal with her, so even though the Tower of Time had searched with all its strength for two and a half years, it had not found any of the masters.
She felt that the enemy was close by, staring at her at all times, but this feeling was not always there, maybe it was just a psychological effect of Rhaenys.
Finally, Rhaenys also glanced at Rowe behind her out of the corner of her eye.
Unless it's this little ghost.
Sitting in the car, the magicians in the back row also sat in the back car in turn, and finally Luo Wei and the four of them sat in the last car.
The convoy moved slowly from the station towards King Arthur's Garden of Spirit, which was separated by a small hill.
Rowe looked out the window.
Although it is a small town, the town has a lot of everything, first of all, there are countless hotels, after all, it is a tourist mecca, and then there are all kinds of ancillary industries, such as supermarkets, not to mention the unique handicraft shops and some shops for short-term rentals.
The people who developed in the name of Kamran and King Arthur's garden used to hang the legendary Excalibur held by King Arthur in front of their homes, so that Rowe could see many golden swords hanging in the doorway.
It's just that they are all imitations based on historical pictures and texts, and they only have the function of decoration.
The convoy soon left the town of Kamran, bypassing the not-so-high Hill of the Fence, where Rowe and the others saw King Arthur's Garden hidden behind the Hill of the Fence.
At this time, the gate of the spiritual garden was closed, and the gate forged of black steel was equipped with three protections, door locks, door rails, and chains.
The convoy stopped in front of the gate of the Mourning Garden, and from behind the white marble walls on the side of the Mourning Garden, several people wearing white nun clothes came out, and they looked like they were probably fifty or sixty old ladies.
Rhaenys got out of the car, saw the nuns approaching, and nodded.
"Long time no see, Martha. ”
The nun at the front was Martha, who was now guarding King Arthur's garden, and she also nodded to Leenys and said, "Welcome, the preparations for the ceremony have been completed, please come with me." ”
She took out a bunch of keys from her nun's robe, untied the three layers of protection on the door, and pushed open the black door.
Led by three nuns, a group of magicians entered King Arthur's garden.
Surrounded by tall white walls, Rowe looked at them, and if he looked closely, he could see subtle signs of depressions, and they were not irregular, they seemed to be a pattern when integrated.
Luo Wei gently touched the wall, his fingertips flickering, but he didn't let the people around him see it.
After walking along the long road, there was a pool of clear water, and Luo Wei and the others came from one side, and on the other side was the towering ancient tree, and the white tombstone under the tree.
The nuns led the magicians around the side of the lake, and there was a fence under the old tree to keep people out of the way, so that no one could touch the tombstone.
Further back, there is an empty cemetery, the white nameless cemetery is neatly arranged, as if the knights lined up in a neat formation, guarding King Arthur's back.
At the end of the dome, King Arthur's garden is white, and even the small flowers that grow on the ground are white.
A group of people gathered at the gate of the palace, and the nun at the head turned around and said to them.
"The palace can only accommodate five people, so please come with me whoever wants to enter. ”
Leenys stepped out, Grey following closely behind her.
Etnia walked out silently, and next to her a magician who Rowe didn't know also walked out, with a gold badge on the chest of the black suit, undoubtedly the opening magician.
This made Luo Wei very strange, why the magicians sent by the Clock Tower were only about the beginning, wasn't this the orthodox Holy Grail War? There should be more powerful magicians.
"Rovi, what are you doing in a daze?" Rhaenys turned her head and asked dissatisfiedly, there was one of the five people left, and that was Rowe, but Rowe didn't show up as if he was stunned.
"Ahh I'm sorry. ”
Rowe hurried out and stood next to Grey.
Centered around Leenys, on the left are Etnia and the unknown opening magician, and on the right are Gray and Rovi.
Martha nodded, then turned around and led the five of them into the palace.
