Chapter 176: The Legend Begins
Lilith tilted her head and asked, "Every morning when the sun rises, it looks big, but it's not warm. Every day at noon it looks small, but it's hot. As far as I know, the closer the sun is, the bigger it gets, but the closer it is, the hotter it should be. The farther away it should look small and the cooler it is. So is the sun coming near us in the morning or at noon? ”
Chrissy froze! He looked at Merlin incredulously. Merlin shrugged: "I've thought about this question for a long time, but I can't always think of a perfect explanation. Merlin said to Lilith again, "Honey, your question is too difficult, can you change it?" ”
Lilith said casually, "Well, okay, let me think of another one." ”
Chrissy hurriedly interrupted: "No need, I know the answer!" ”
Merlin and Lilith were stunned. Chrissy then said, "The distance between the sun and us is basically the same. The world we live in is a ball line, which revolves around the sun, which can be called revolution, and one revolution of the earth is a year. And the earth has an autobiography..."Chrissy sketched the ground with a stone over and over again, explaining to the two of them the revolution and rotation of the earth. If the revolution and rotation are explained clearly, then the question of whether the sun is near in the morning or at noon is clearly explained.
Merlin and Lilith were dumbfounded. After being stunned for a long time, Lilith digested this magical knowledge, and slapped the fishtail on the surface of the water with excitement, and couldn't help but praise Chrissy for her erudition and talent, much stronger than Merlin, an old immortal.
Merlin echoed her, praising Chrissy so much that Lilith swam excitedly several laps in the lake before she remembered what was going on. After making Chrissy wait for a moment, she turned over and sank into the lake, and after a while, she saw a golden sword in both hands and surface: "To Her Majesty Chrissy Coleman, the wisest king of England!" ”
Chrissy took the long sword, and it was not as heavy as she imagined, and there was a feeling of blood connection in her hand. Immediately after that, there was an extra set of swordsmanship in her mind, and Chrissy couldn't help but practice it again, the moves were fierce and neat, showing the domineering spirit of the king in one move! A woman makes it even more distinctive!
With the sword in hand, Merlin and Chrissy did not linger long, and after saying goodbye to Lilith, the two returned to the manor. Chrissy looked at the sky and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! It's already dark! We made an appointment with Jones and Anna to meet in the evening, and we must be worried if they don't come back! ”
Merlin didn't care and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged a magic array in this forest, and large beasts don't dare to come here." Their safety must be fine, Bruce and Ned are in the pinching stages of meditation, and it's not good to interrupt them now. Let's wait until tomorrow when dawn is when you go back. ”
Chrissy: "It turns out that Grandpa Merlin set up a magic circle, and we thought there were some super terrifying monsters here that scared those beasts away." The other day we didn't dare to sleep peacefully in the forest for fear of being attacked by monsters. You're right, it's not dangerous anyway, just let them wait in the camp for the night. ”
As the saying goes, "a drink and a peck are not predetermined." "If Chrissy had returned to camp that night, nothing would have been a headache for Merlin, and it would have ruined his years of planning.
Bruce and Ned meditated until late at night before they woke up. Merlin saw that the two of them were awake and said, "Chrissy has already obtained the sword of kings, and is now asleep in the guest room. Do you continue to meditate or go to your room for a break? ”
Bruce: "Grandpa Merlin, I want to go and take a break, the meditation just now has given me a headache and a brain swell. ”
Ned shook his head: "Grandpa Merlin, I want to meditate for a while, I'm feeling comfortable and feeling so good now." ”
Merlin smiled, "Ned's talent is better than yours, so Ned will stay and continue to meditate." Bruce, I'll take you back to the room. By the way, Chrissy told me about your companions, there is a magic circle I have set up in this forest, and your companions will not be in danger. When tomorrow dawn comes, you will go back to them. ”
Bruce and Ned are now obedient to Merlin, so Bruce goes back to his room to rest, and Ned continues to meditate cross-legged.
Merlin looked at Ned, who continued to meditate, and the affection in his eyes was indescribable.
The next morning, Chriss, Bruce, and Ned packed up and headed back to camp to round out with Jones and Anna. But how can they find the two at this time? After reading the note they left, although I felt a little at ease, I still had a faint feeling of not being good.
The three of them waited at the camp for a long time as agreed on the note, but Jones and Anna did not return. That bad feeling is clearer. Ned suggested, "Let's go out and look for it, what if they get caught by the villagers?" ”
The three of them then walked cautiously towards the edge of the forest. There was a wolf smoke in the eyes, and the sound of crying and howling was endless. The corpses of women and children can also be found everywhere. Even though they had never seen a war, it was a sight to tell that something terrible must have happened!
The faces of the three changed drastically, and Bruce and Chrissy were about to come out to find Jones and Anna, but they were stopped by Ned. Ned led them to find a hidden corner and hidden, then pointed to the distance and said, "I sense that a large group of men and horses are coming this way, and it is dangerous for us to go out now." ”
Bruce quickly calmed down and spread his mental power. After a long while, he said, "That's right, there are about three hundred people, and they are almost at the entrance of the village." What shall we do? ”
Ned thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if Jones and Anna can avoid yesterday's attack, then this team shouldn't be able to find them." If—" said Ned couldn't say any more.
Chrissy glared at her red eyes and said angrily: "If Jones and Anna have an accident, I will let the murderer bury them together!" Leave no one to chance! ”
This time it was the soldiers of Edinburgh City, and the leader of the team was none other than John Montagu, the father of little Lori Juliet. After carefully inspecting the village, John left a large group of men and horses to camp on the spot, clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses, and return to the city with his own guards to report the situation.
Chrissy waited for the remaining soldiers to return to the camp before sneaking out to check on the situation. I didn't find the slightest clue for half a day. The three of them had no choice but to return to the manor to consult with Merlin.
Merlin listened to the description of the three of them and said, "It is the Corts of the west who were nearly wiped out by King Edwin last year, so that they have a grudge. Unable to take revenge on King Edwin, they can only take out their anger on the poor. ”
Chrissy gritted her teeth and said, "Corts! You're dead! ”
Merlin was relieved: "If you didn't find the bodies of the two of them, it means that the two of them must still be alive and should have been captured by the Colts as servitude." Although it will suffer some hardships, at least there is no need to worry about life. You don't have any capital now, and you can only find them if you learn magic first. ”
Chrissy shook her head and said, "Grandpa Merlin, I want to go out to find Jones and Anna, I have learned the swordsmanship in the Sword of Kings, and I have the ability to protect myself, but I have no growth without experience." I need a lot of challenges! Bruce and Ned are new to magic and don't have combat power yet, so how about coming back to me when they're done? ”
Merlin looked at Chrissy, who was eager to try, thought seriously and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, you go out to practice first, and you can get familiar with the environment faster." It's also more convenient when the two of them go out. ”
Ned objected: "Chrissy, you're a girl, and you don't know the outside language, it's dangerous for you to go out alone!" ”
Merlin smiled: "Ned, don't underestimate the current Chrissy, how can a person who has been recognized by the Sword of Kings not have hole cards?" Now she can easily fit a dozen strong men. As for the language being simpler, I can directly instill the current language into her. ”
Ned looked at Bruce pleadingly, and Bruce said seriously: "I also support Chrissy's idea, the three of us acting together is too inefficient, and we can only improve efficiency by acting separately." And I believe Grandpa Merlin, who said that Chrissy has the ability to protect herself, so there must be no danger. Ned, don't think of Chrissy as the weak little girl she used to be, she's the strongest of the three of us now! ”
Three-on-one, Ned had no choice but to agree to let Chrissy go out to practice. Before leaving, Merlin made a sword case for the Sword of Kings and carved a sealing spell that no one but Chrissy could open the sword box! Chrissy was given another bottle of magic potions, which greatly increased her physical strength, and Chrissy drank it that night.
Chrissy found a Mithril broadsword in the warehouse to use as a weapon, replaced it with the silver-white knight's soft armor with defensive magic that Merlin had prepared for her, and rode the white horse that Merlin summoned from the forest. The heroic female knight's demeanor is undoubtedly revealed! Chrissy waves goodbye to Merlin, Bruce, and Ned, and begins her journey with the reins!
