Chapter II
His Royal Highness the Prince has changed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
That's good, it's not good.
Walking in the same way, Odega, who was silently following behind His Royal Highness the Prince, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince who was striding forward with a worried gaze.
This gaze is not only the loyalty of a courtier to the lord, but also contains the concern of an old man for his children and grandchildren.
Time, this is really a wonderful thing, it seems that just a moment later, the little guy who followed his ass all day long, shouting every day 'Uncle Odega, teach me to use a sword', has grown to be taller than himself, stronger than himself, and even stronger than he was when he was younger.
But His Royal Highness the Prince has changed, not in appearance, not in behavior, but in character, in heart, as if he were another person.
“…… He can't be blamed for this, it's just that the burden on his shoulders is too heavy. ”
In fact, everyone knows why His Royal Highness the Prince has become like this.
The prince of the dead country.
This is by no means just a simple name, behind this noun, I don't know how many corpses and blood seas and bloody rain are hidden. The corpses were piled up as high as a mountain, and the blood that flowed out stained the sea crimson, and the thick smell of blood blew with the sea breeze, and almost all the people who were almost crushed could not breathe.
Especially, when all these pressures are pressed on the shoulders of a child who is not yet an adult, and who is only fifteen years old.
……
But God knows how grateful Magnus was to that William.
Magnus, this is the name of His Royal Highness, and William, the one who defeated the first king Harold and hung his head on the flagpole to make a big difference.
If I had to mention a specific point in time, it was 1066 A.D., when William the Conqueror launched the Norman invasion. England, which had been isolated for 500 years, returned to Europa through this invasion, and gradually grew into the unimaginably large empire of the Normans.
But this is not a history class.
No, it would be more accurate to say that since Magnus crossed over, the history of the past no longer counts, because he is no longer a spectator of history, a reader; It's a personal participant, a person who is in the middle of history. In layman's terms, his very existence is making history!
Then, let's see how this prince made history.
What is it like to travel back in time to become a prince?
Long Aotian or Zhao Ritian, the smile of the goddess of luck and the favor of the goddess of fate, once you hold the power, the world is in my hands......
Fart.
His Royal Highness Prince Magnus is very responsible to tell you that the first thing you should worry about when you travel to become a prince, especially a prince in the Middle Ages, is not to be sent to the monastery as possessed by the devil to exorcise demons.
Imagine dozens of pastors strapped to your bed and sturdy water on you while reciting the Bible aloud, like dozens of flies buzzing in your ears -- and you can't say a word, or they're going to sprinkle a lot of salt -- salt is nothing, it's the ashes of grass and trees.
Don't ask Magnus why he knows, because he's already experienced it himself.
However, to tell the truth, this can already be called VIP treatment, after all, Magnus is a prince, even if the devil is on the body, he can only exorcise demons, if it is an inconspicuous lowly peasant, the priest is too lazy to care, and he is directly tied to the pillar and burned to death.
Besides, Seon is not blessed.
Tied up in a monastery, at least one of the benefits is realistic, and that is that you don't have to go to war.
Not having to go to the battlefield means saving a life, and if nothing else, it is enough to be a rich nobleman in the Franks with the money and wealth that he carried when he escaped. People can't do it, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they don't have to struggle for ten lifetimes.
The premise is that no one wants the life of His Royal Highness Prince Magnus.
In fact, just the other day, Magnus had just picked up a life from a wave of Assassins.
It would be inappropriate to say that it was a life to be saved, and the group of assassins who were served in a pot without even seeing His Royal Highness the prince in front of him fully shows how complete Magnus's intelligence network is, and how many times he has been assassinated.
Leaving aside the enemies of Harold, the scumbags who were still in England were too late to defend themselves, and William the Conqueror was lining up to cut off their heads; Then there was William, who should have wanted Magnus's life the most, after all, Magnus was a prince and had considerable influence among the Saxons, and it was not unusual for him to send assassins; As for the rest, even the Frankish king had some possibility.
After all, as mentioned before, Magnus fled England with a large sum of money in his hands.
That's the savings of an entire country for more than a hundred years, and even if you can only take out a small part of the most valuable money when you run away, it's quite eye-catching. What's more, Magnus was unfamiliar with the place, and when the time came, the Frankish king pushed two five or six, and directly planted the blame on William, according to the medieval law of property, all the items that fell on the ground, whether they had an owner or not, belonged to the lord, and the Frankish king accepted the money with peace of mind.
Look up, the whole world is the enemy.
Because of this, Magnus will desperately run the intelligence network and train the soldiers, not for anything else, just to save his life.
After that, it's Odega's problem.
Odega, Odega, oh, why are you Odega? (Note: Pinch him Romeo here)
Five generations of virtuous and loyal generations, he himself was the most trusted person of the previous king, and served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard for twenty years; And Odegar himself did not live up to this trust in the slightest, and in the war with William that decided the fate of the country, Odegar personally sent his son and grandson to the battlefield.
And none returned.
After that, Odegar took on the heavy responsibility of supporting Gu, and tried his best to take His Royal Highness the prince back from the monastery, all the way to Frank, it can be said that Magnus's life, ninety percent out of ten was saved by Odega.
It stands to reason that such a loyal minister and virtuous minister is exactly what countless monarchs can ask for but cannot get, and it is a great insult to oneself to doubt such a loyal minister.
But Magnus just couldn't trust Odegar.
It's human instinct.
For example, this is like Yi Ya steaming, in order to show his loyalty, Yi Ya can even kill his own son for Qi Henggong to eat, but Guan Zhong said: "Killing a son is suitable for the king, it is not human, and it can't be brushed off".
Because it's so loyal.
is so loyal that even Qi Henggong doesn't believe it, and he can't believe it; Loyal to the point that even a king and a king of a country cannot repay, and it is natural to be suspicious and alienated.
To put it more simply, this is like a husband and wife living a life, and it is always necessary to have a noisy life to have fun, if they have always respected each other, it is better to divide it directly.
But Odega was lucky.
Because he is the only surviving minister, and he is also a banner and a benchmark of the exiles, and an indispensable figure.
So Magnus decided to give Odega a chance, and at the same time give himself a chance.
A chance to verify whether Odegar is truly loyal and to bring his little secrets to the table.
"This is it."
Located on the border of Orleans, next to the vast Black Forest, it is so sparsely populated that even the tax collector is too lazy to hide, and it is the best place to hide secrets.
"Uncle Odega, please be mentally prepared, because what you see, hear, and see inside will change your life."
Smiling and uttering words that seemed like a reminder or a threat, Magnus pushed open the closed door and shouted in a language that Odegar had never heard before:
"Come out, my friends, today is a day to celebrate, because soon, another friend will be joining our team."
