Chapter 103: Confluence
Charles suddenly noticed that Artoria, who was sitting next to him, had a somewhat wrong expression, and the whole person was a little gloomy, and even the dull hair on his head was wilting.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Artoria and asked, "What's wrong?"
Artoria took the tea and drank it in one gulp, then a stiff smile squeezed out of her handsome face, and said to Charles, "It's okay, I'll go rest first." ”
Artoria, who was walking back to her bedroom in the guest suite, was about to push open the door when she suddenly heard a low voice from behind her, "Did she have those days too?"
With a "click", the bedroom doorknob broke.
With a "bang", the doorknob slammed into the door of Charles's mask.
Charles picked up the doorknob and placed it on the table, then went back to his room.
On the soft carpet in the bedroom, Charles warmed up and did a few sets of exercises such as ab rippers, then began to do static stretching, and finally took a shower and lay down in bed to brush himself with therapy, brushing and falling asleep.
In the Emerald Dreamland, Charles found that the "Hamlet and the Philosopher's Stone" he had uploaded had begun to be clicked, but the comment area was still blank.
Then he quit the platform, entered editing mode, changed into a vest and began editing "Frost of Sorrow".
The next few days went according to plan.
After breakfast, Charles continued to wander around the manor, and one day went to a straw paper workshop, while Artoria continued to model for Lady Verry.
After lunch, Charles and Artoria continued to practice their swords in the forest, during which they would also point out Lancelot, who was training hard.
After dinner, Artoria continued to go out for a walk, and Charles was in his room reading a book he had bought from the Rurik Kingdom.
When it was time to go to bed, Charles still routinely exercised before bed and did various things in his dreams.
Perhaps due to the presence of a stronghold of cultists near the city of Thanhausen, the original plan for the Praetorian Guard knights to come and collect the children was postponed indefinitely, but Lancelot continued to practice swordsmanship while herding pigs.
One day, at noon, when everyone was about to eat lunch, the brass bell in the butler's room rang six times, and Elizabeth arrived at the Green Field Manor with the caravan.
Charles, Artoria and Donio, who got the news, immediately went to the wooden bridge of the "Hanging Garden" and waited for the caravan to arrive.
A white horse galloped forward, and Elizabeth was in the caravan
rushed to Charles's side before.
It's just that when she stopped in front of Charles, her smiling face suddenly froze, and then it turned into a ghost-like expression.
Artoria, who was standing behind Charles, was looking at Elizabeth, who was changing her face with an elegant smile, without saying a word.
Donio, who was already suspicious on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and his face suddenly changed.
Artoria turned to Tonyo and said, "It was Charles who helped me lift the seal of the demons, please help us keep it secret." ”
This is an excuse that she and Charles have already thought of, and it can barely be justified.
Elizabeth also said to Tonyo: "This matter can't be said, otherwise the demons may be unfavorable to the Knight King." ”
Donio immediately swore that he would never reveal the slightest bit about his idol to anyone, including his mother.
"Do you have anything to do next?" asked Artoria respectfully.
"You don't need to use an honorific title on me, now I'm just a knight Artoria Poklonskaya who looks a little like the Knight King, and has a similar name, and is dedicated to imitating the Knight King, the Earl of Maccaden. Artoria said to Elizabeth and Tonyo.
Then she said to Elizabeth, "Now that I have no money, and I have the only money I have, I have to ask Charles to borrow it, can I work with you first?"
Elizabeth ignored Donio's "must agree" look and said with a wry smile, "You're really giving me a big problem." ”
"The past goes with the wind, and I don't mention the past, and now I'm just a little knight with no money. Artoria said.
Elizabeth thought for a moment, and could only say: "Otherwise, you go with us, and when the next city comes, you go and register as an adventurer, and we will hire you in the same way as an adventurer." ”
After all, hiring a knight king to work and hiring a knight king to work as an adventurer are two different things, if you choose the former, in case of an incident in the future, many people will accuse Elizabeth of having no eyes or something, if you choose the latter, everyone can only say that the knight king engages in micro-service private interviews, and he really knows how to play.
As for Charles, the boy who rescued the Knight King from the demons, the Knight King is loyal to him in order to repay his kindness, what a lucky guy!
The matter was settled, but Elizabeth's offer to get Artoria to work in the caravan guard failed, and she offered to work with the cooking cart like Charles.
Then the cold sweat of Charles and Donio broke out.
The convoy had been camped on the other side of the village under the steward's leadership, and after the caravan had been settled, the second master, Aubrey, came to meet Elizabeth and visit Lady Verry together.
The caravan was stationed here for money, and although Lady Verry had always been a symbolic fee, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. Who let the big boss ignore the money, the money is in charge.
Aubrey only smiled when he saw Artoria, he had seen too many women with this name in the kingdom of Philingen, ranging from eighty to eight years old, and even more in the dress of the Knight King.
So he rubbed Charles's head vigorously, and joked that he had picked up a small beauty last time, and after picking up a big beauty this time, the matter would be over.
Lunch was a little late, but it was just enough time for Mrs. Verry to add some food.
At the dinner table, Tonyo suggested to Elizabeth that Barnett I wanted to hire a caravan to recruit the cultists of the evil gods, and Elizabeth immediately agreed, saying that after resting here for two days, he would go to Tanhausen to talk to Barnett I who was sitting there.
After lunch, Charles is about to return with the caravan's new chef, Artoria. After thanking Madame Verry for her hospitality over the past few days, the two of them left the large comfortable house. For the next two days, the two of them spent the night in the villager's house, just like the rest of the caravan.
Mrs. Verry, who knew the rules of the caravan, didn't keep too much, but just asked the butler to bring some snacks to Charles in the past two days.
