Chapter 167: The Kingdom of Coleman
Anna woo la translated again, little Lori thought to herself that these people are not stupid, such a simple question has to ask herself, she is even more scared when she thinks that she has fallen into the hands of a group of fools, and quickly replied: "This year is 627 AD, and this is the suburb of Edinburgh in Northumbria . ”
Chrissy listened to Anna's translation and jumped up excitedly: "YES! I'll just say let's cross over! It was so much fun! ”
The other four were not as optimistic as Chriss, and everyone was silent for a long time, and Bruce took the lead and said: "At least there is good news: we are still on Earth!" Still in the UK! Everyone: "Hehe! ”
Bruce clapped his hands and continued to cheer up, "Okay, isn't this something that was expected?" Don't be so frustrated! We are all top students at the University of London! Can it stump us in just 627 years? ”
Chrissy was the first to agree: "Yes! With our ingenuity, we will definitely be able to mix well here! ”
Jones also cheered up: "Yes, at this time in history, Britain is in the era of the Seven Kingdoms, and it is the time for us to show our talents!" ”
Ned continued, "I've expected this, now that we've figured out where we are, what should we do next?" ”
Several people looked at each other for a while, and Bruce: "Don't worry about it for now, let's find this little girl to inquire more about the situation." Although everyone knows a little bit about history, we still need to ask more about the specific details. ”
Four said it should be so. So the five of them surrounded Xiao Lori and asked gossiping.
After an afternoon of cross-examination, I finally had some eyebrows. Little Lori is the daughter of a small nobleman in Edinburgh, and her name is quite artistic: Juliette Montagu, the name of the female protagonist and the surname of the male protagonist in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", it is really fate! He is 16 years old. It was 50 miles west of Edinburgh, and the village next to it was her family's fiefdom. Today she visits the fiefdom with her father, John Montagu, a vassal of Earl Germain, King Edwin's general. My father went to the fields, but she thought the fields were too dirty and stayed in the village to play. John thought that he must be safe in his fiefdom, so he didn't pay much attention to her, so she was tied up here.
At first, Xiao Lori, who was scared to death, saw that a few people didn't mean to hurt her, and slowly let down her guard. I also know all about their questions, and answer them all. Almost asked, Anna said to little Lori: "Little sister Juliet, are you hungry?" After a while, my sister will grill fish for you to eat. ”
Juliet looked at her and whispered, "Sister Anna, if you don't have any problems, can you let me go back?" If my father had found out that I had disappeared, he would have taken his anger out on the innocent poor people, and I didn't want to implicate them. ”
Anna discussed with the others and said, "Yes, we will send you back, but you can't tell anyone about us!" Do you understand? ”
Juliet nodded violently: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!" I said I had accidentally walked into this forest and got lost in it. ”
Ned, Chriss, and Anna stay at the camp to prepare for the fire, and Bruce and Jones take Juliet back to the village.
As Juliet had expected, her father was furious when he found out that his precious daughter was missing, gathered everyone in the village and tortured him, and sent guards to search for him. The sun is almost down and still nothing. Enraged, John ordered: "Hang everyone in the village!" ”
Soon, dozens of gallows stood at the entrance of the village, and just when the villagers were desperate, Juliet's tender voice came: "Father! John hurriedly turned back, and the petite Juliet flew into his arms. John was overjoyed, stroked Juliet's hair and said, "Honey, where have you been, I'm worried to death!" ”
Juliet raised her head and replied, "Father, I went over there to play, and I accidentally came back late, I'm sorry." ”
John happily hugged his daughter: "It's good to be back!" It's good to be back, let's hurry home, your mother must be in a hurry. ”
Juliet looked at the panicked villagers and begged softly, "Father, what did they do wrong?" Why did you kill them? ”
John waved his hand and smiled: "What's the matter, today I found them lazy in the field, I just scared them, how could I kill people for no reason!" ”
The guards were ordered to untie the ropes from the villagers, and the villagers all knelt down to thank the young lady for saving her life. When John found his daughter, he stayed no longer and the group returned to Edinburgh.
After the five of Bruce sent Juliet away, they got together to discuss the next step: "Okay, now that we've figured out our situation, do you guys have any ideas?" ”
Jones shrugged: "As long as I can be with Anna, nothing else matters." ”
Anna glanced at Chrissy triumphantly, and her tsundere appearance was self-evident.
Ned: "Life without a computer is meaningless to me, I want to build a computer!" What about you? ”
Bruce spread his hands: "I want to make a lot of money, and then enclose a plot of land, buy dozens of young and beautiful maids, and live a luxurious aristocratic life." ”
Chrissy said disdainfully: "Look at your little talent, we have more than a thousand years of knowledge beyond this era, don't you waste it!" While England is not yet united, I want to be the first queen in British history! ”
Ned corrected, "I'm sorry, but King Arthur unified England more than a hundred years ago. ”
Chrissy retorted, "But isn't it split again now?" Let the history books go down in the annals that Her Majesty Queen Chrissy Coleman, the great and benevolent, ended the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms and led England to the light! ”
Ned, as a boyfriend, was quite cooperative, and knelt down on one knee to make an audience to Chrissy and said, "Beautiful Queen Chrissy, your most loyal knight, Ned Leeds, offers you the highest respect!" ”
Chrissy pretended to stretch out her right hand and put it in Ned's hand and grinned, "This queen will give you the title of duke!" Remember to come to my room tonight! ”
Anna couldn't help but shudder: "Chrissy, you are a bad woman, let's live together, how can you let Ned in!" ”
Chrissy jumped up to Anna and put her arm around her waist and laughed, "Just kidding, how can I bear to leave you!" But then again, would you like to help me? Idle is idle anyway. ”
Needless to say, Ned was the first to raise his hands in agreement, and Bruce smiled: "It's okay, with Her Majesty's support in the future, I can enjoy the depraved life of the nobility even more." ”
Jones also smiled and nodded, "Yes, Queen." ”
Chrissy looked at Anna and said, "What about you?" My dear? ”
Anna couldn't stand her teasing, so she hurriedly ran to Jones and said, "Okay, then I'll be your chief diplomat." With the help of me, a genius who is proficient in eight Chinese languages, you are really going to die happy! ”
Chrissy excitedly stood up and shouted, "Good! This queen is proclaiming: the Kingdom of Coleman is officially established! Ned Leeds, I give you the title of Prince! Bruce Contin, I give you the title of Duke and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Coleman! Jones Doyle, I give you the title of Duke and Commander-in-Chief of the three armies of the Kingdom of Coleman! Anna Windsor, I give you the title of Duke and Chief Diplomat of the Kingdom of Coleman! ”
The four of them smiled and replied, "Your Majesty Shekris has a reward!" ”
The five of them had enough trouble, and Chrissy was a little discouraged again: "Eh, our kingdom is now full of five people, is it possible that we can only entertain ourselves in this primeval forest?" ”
Anna raised her hand and said: "I know this, it is all written badly in the novel, first make a fortune, then recruit troops to occupy a city, and then recruit troops and horses, and then you can unify England!" It's easy. ”
The four of them looked at her like idiots, and Jones said, "Honey, how do we make a fortune?" If I'm not mistaken, this is the city of Edinburgh in Northumbria, where Emperor Edwin had just been canonized by the Pope, but in 632 the hapless Edwin was about to be killed by King Cadwalon of Gwynnid in Wales. In other words, there will be constant war in this area now, are you sure that we will survive the next period of war and chaos?
