Chapter 169, Departure (Ask for Subscription ~ !!)
The dark night gradually turns blue, and on the eastern horizon, the bright morning star competes with the moonlight that is disappearing in the east.
Consciousness returns to the body, close your eyes and rest for a while.
Arthur immediately walked over to Ambrosius and woke up the old wizard.
"Sir, the pursuers are coming. ”
Woken up by the prince, the old man immediately regained his spirits: "Lannister's pursuers?"
"Yes. ”
Ambrosius muttered, "Then wake them up and prepare to leave." ”
Gawain and Lancelot slept lightly, and the only one who needed to be woken up was Guinavia in the cabin, but Arthur really didn't want to care about her.
Moreover, the sleeping girl, because of running away for days, was so tired that she couldn't wake up at all, and finally had to carry the boy away.
Lancelot's face was full of reluctance.
After dealing with that evil shapeshifter, his adoptive mother disappeared without a trace, and he left Qianmian Island today, and I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to see each other again in the future.
With memories of his past life, Arthur could understand his feelings.
Having lost his parents and watching the old head of swordsmanship who grew up being buried with his own hands, Gawain can also understand Lancelot's reluctance and helplessness.
Ambrosius just patted Lancelot on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.
When he walked to the island lake, he cast his water magic, forming a water ball to protect everyone, and crossing the surface of the God's Eye Lake on the waves.
Directly to the west shore of the Divine Eye Lake.
It's close to the territory controlled by the princes of the Riverlands.
Separated by a huge lake of God's Eye, it was impossible for the pursuers of the Bolton family to catch up immediately.
For the time being, they're safe.
Putting down the girl who was rubbing her sleepy eyes in a daze, Arthur controlled the owl again and flew towards the eastern shore of Thousand Faces Island and Godeye Lake to check the situation.
The simple wooden boat, at first glance, was hastily recruited (robbed).
The wooden oars are paddled down, and the slow speed of the boat will not reach Qianmian Island at least by dawn.
"Looks like we can get rid of the pursuers this time. ”
Seeing that the enemy lacked ships and did not know his location, Arthur was immediately relieved and tried to return to his body with direct consciousness.
"Your Highness, what's the situation?"
Seeing that the prince used the ability of the shapeshifter to control the birds to investigate the enemy's situation, and as soon as his consciousness returned, Ambrosius asked.
"They're sending people to Qianmian Island, and if there is no accident, they shouldn't be able to catch up with us. Arthur said.
Gao Wen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
It's just that Lancelot is a little worried about his adoptive mother and the other sons of the forest who are hiding in the Fishbeam Woods.
Guinevera blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Then Your Highness, can we slow down and stop hurrying?"
The young man nodded coldly, making her face suddenly full of disappointment.
"Let's go. ”
Without horses, it is very tragic to drive on both feet.
Arthur, Gawain, Lancelot, and Ambrosius all suffered and it didn't matter, but the delicate lady Guinevere couldn't.
She soon became too tired to walk, and wanted to be cold, but still have a gentle and considerate young man's back for herself.
After holding and waiting for death, Arthur really didn't want to have too much contact with her.
It's too pit!
Faced with the eyes of the beautiful woman, the teenager pretended not to see it.
And Guinevia would not let Ambrosius, the old man, or the two strangers Gawain and Lancelot carry on his back.
I can only grit my teeth and hold on.
Then slow them down.
Ambrosius: "Your Highness, you must be tolerant and considerate of weak women. ”
Arthur pretended not to understand: "I just controlled the birds, and I saw that there was a village not far ahead, so let's go slower." ”
In fact, Guineveria also has her stubbornness, otherwise how would she choose to take risks with Arthur.
Entering a dilapidated village that has not recovered from the war and has not many residents, Arthur reveals his identity and is immediately warmly welcomed by the villagers.
The Tully family ruled the Riverlands for more than a thousand years, and the former duke was extremely prestigious.
They were vassals to Holy Loran, and as commoners under the rule of the Tully family, how could the villagers dare to treat the high prince with disrespect?
Arthur didn't accept the hospitality, but just asked an old villager to drive them to the nearest castle, promising to repay them with a golden dragon and not having the heart to squeeze them.
Sitting in a somewhat tattered pony carriage.
Arthur didn't let the coachman rush north, but continued west, in the direction of Acorn Hall, where to resupply and then go to Riverrun.
Hearing the prince's plan, Ambro Huston frowned: "Your Highness, I don't think we need to take this detour. ”
Arthur: "To be on the safe side, it doesn't matter if you take a detour. ”
The old man said worriedly, "But... What about the third knight?"
Teenager: "Sir can just tell me who he is, and then I'll recruit him." ”
"But that's not in line with the future I see. Ambrosius frowned, feeling that the prince might be out of the trajectory of fate.
The old man was right.
The boy really didn't want to accept the fate of the English King Arthur.
After all, he is the prince, and even if the inheritance is at the bottom, he has the qualifications to ascend to the throne, but he does not have the support of the great nobles.
If you accept too many Veslot knights' allegiance, and you don't have the intention of competing for the throne with Ryan and Varian, with the push of those who care, this continent will definitely break out again for the Iron Throne.
Getting Gawain and Lancelot to follow was a desperate move.
First, there were a large number of enemies who fled and pursued and intercepted them.
Second, Arthur really had no good choice but to choose to believe Ambrosius.
Arthur, who is now free from his pursuers, has no danger and has other options, does not plan to look for the third Knight of the Round Table, as the old man said.
"Mr. Ambrosius, does it matter what the future holds?" he said, looking at the old man, "I think the most important thing is to grasp the present. ”
A worried look appeared on the old man's face: "But in this way, Your Highness will miss the knights who are loyal to you." ”
"Sir, don't forget that I'm just an illegitimate child. Arthur was well aware of his situation, "The strange spirits have not been eliminated yet, and the future you see is really too far away." ”
Ambrosius fell silent when he heard this.
After a long time, he nodded: "I understand what His Highness means." ”
The Strange Ghost Crisis does need to be paid attention to, but the future is not far away, and it is even coming in the blink of an eye, so how can you do it without preparing early?
The old man's mission is to guide the prince to become the great King of Eternity!
Say such prevarications.
The teenager clearly did not intend to accept his own guidance.
Why is this happening?
Could it be the danger encountered by Qianmian Island?
Looking at the puzzled face on the old man's face, Arthur shook his head and asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell me where you came from?"
Ambrosiuston smiled bitterly: "Your Highness still has doubts about me?"
"I can probably guess, but it's not certain for now. Arthur groaned, "You're playing Merlin's role." ”
"Merlin?" the old man's face was full of doubt.
Guinevia, Gawain, and Lancelot in the carriage also heard in a fog.
"Merlin, Demon, Jungle, Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, Mullin, Marin, Merlin, the great magician who can foresee the future, the guide of the Eternal King. Saying that, Arthur, who couldn't keep his seriousness, couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Ambrosius, please tell me the truth, is there a sword in the stone for me to pull out?"
