Chapter VI: The Saxons
Charles was given a grand reception by King Uther for the next few days, not to mention good food and wine, and was given two beautiful maids and several guards as his attendants. But Charles also knew that these people had a duty to watch over themselves while serving them.
Charles is naturally disgusted with his actions being monitored by others, but Charles can't do the act of killing people, after all, he has only been a devil for a short month, although he has been affected by the memory of his predecessor, but after all, he is just an ordinary otaku before the crossing, and he may have his own ideal of middle school, but after all, he still can't lose his conscience and have no humanity.
Moreover, Charles also understands that he is a stranger from outside, and if he wants the local master to abandon his vigilance at once, Charles does not think that this is a thing that can be accomplished, let alone be like those protagonists in the novels of the beginning of his previous life.
And for this aspect, as a devil, Charles is far less ruthless than other peers, not at all like a devil. However, Charles can't do things that kill people, and he still won't do other things, such as the devil's best demagoguery.
It's only been a few days, and the two maids who stayed by Charles's side have actually become his people completely under the condition of Charles's charm, and when they report Charles's daily behavior to King Uther, they all come according to Charles's orders.
In such a situation, Charles can carry out his own actions, after all, the task is on his own, and it is a matter of life and death.
In the past few days, King Uther summoned Charles many times, and accompanied by Merlin, he chatted with Charles for a long time. After these conversations, King Uther was very pleased with the poet of mysterious origin, and he felt that he could be retained under his command and become Merlin's assistant.
As an island nation located in Great Britain, Emilo does not allow it to receive more information from the European continent, not to mention its own unbridled armaments and weak national strength.
The Roman Empire was fine when it stationed troops on the island, at least it was able to learn something from its own host country, and after the Roman army withdrew, it was not only vague about the situation on the European continent.
The best example is the Roman Empire, it has been almost a hundred years since the Roman Empire withdrew its troops from Great Britain, and the citizens of Emillot did not know that their powerful host Roman Empire had fallen apart, and the Western Roman Empire, as the main inheritance, had been completely swept into the dust of history, only knowing that the Roman Empire withdrew its troops from the island to meet the invasion of the infidels.
However, Charles thought in his heart that with the presence of Merlin, the king of Uther must have known what was happening on the European continent, and also knew that the Western Roman Empire had fallen, but he might know that the time would be a little behind.
And because Charles made up the identity of a traveling poet, saying that he had traveled to the continent and set foot on the land of Great Britain by accident, he naturally had to make a look of traveling on the continent and having insight into the situation on the European continent.
It is said that during these conversations, I was glad that I was an otaku in my previous life, and at the same time I was also a historical house, and I didn't know everything about the history of the Middle Ages on the European continent, but I could also say that I knew a little about it.
For example, the Sassanid Empire of Persia, which had replaced the Parthian Empire in the two river valleys, such as Clovis, who was rising from Gaul and was about to create the Frankish Kingdom, and Justinian, who was returning to the peak of the Roman Empire with the Eastern Roman Empire, which inherited the other half of the Roman Empire.
It was this knowledge of this history that enabled Charles to boast in front of King Uther and Merlin, who began to believe in his identity as a wandering poet, and slowly let down his guard. Then, you can also make some small gestures yourself.
Night soon fell over Great Britain, and the lights of King Emillot began to slowly go out, except for the torches that patrolled the city walls.
Charles withdrew his gaze and closed the window, the end of summer was still hot but already mixed with a cool night breeze was blocked out of the window, went to the door and told the two maids not to come in and disturb if no one came to find him, Charles closed the door and turned around and resumed his true devil form.
A pair of small sharp horns leaped out of his forehead, and a long, slender, spiky tail silently peeked out from behind him, swinging in the air.
Charles's blood-red eyes slowly scanned the surroundings of the room, and after discovering that there was no magic to monitor, he stretched out his hand and drew out of thin air in front of him, and a mysterious and strange blood-red circle immediately appeared in front of him.
Seeing that he had successfully cast the spell, a smile appeared on Charles's face, and then disappeared from the corner of his mouth. Come, see me, the devil, to test whether the world can withstand the storms and waves.
Northern Europe.
Although Nordic is also the birthplace of European culture, it has a long history, and Norse mythology is still alive and well in modern times. However, in the Middle Ages, when the agricultural culture of Europe was not yet developed in the fifth century AD, the Nordic civilization, although it had existed for a long time, never developed in strength.
Their civilization and technology made it impossible for them to meet the needs of their race, but although the natural conditions of the ice and snow hindered the development of their civilization, they also forged their strong bodies, and the Saxon pirates were always famous in the coastal areas of medieval Europe.
In Great Britain and southern and Western Europe it was still late summer, and the cold winds in Northern Europe had begun to blow away the remaining warmth of the land, and naturally the Saxons harvested this year could not meet the winter needs of their race, even if they could get fish from the sea.
However, the Saxons naturally have their own way, that is, looting, and they have been doing this for hundreds of years, so it can be said that they have a lot of experience. They know which areas of the Atlantic coast are available to satisfy them, and they know which areas are what they can want.
As is customary, a Saxon tribe has begun to prepare for the descent into the sea, and the elder of the tribe gathers the bravest warriors of his tribe, and under the roaring bonfire, he turns his back to the dying warriors and prays to the ancestors and gods of his tribe.
The elder, or perhaps the witch of the tribe, was bouncing and spinning around the bonfire to the sonorous shouts of the tribesmen, walking with strange steps and singing incomprehensible prayers in his mouth.
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind passed by the elder, causing his body, which was sweating profusely, to suddenly feel a chill, and the next moment he stopped his steps and looked at the bonfire in front of him in surprise, and a scene that he had never seen in decades of witch dancing suddenly appeared in front of him.
The bonfire, which was already blazing, suddenly became more ferocious, and the fierce tongues of fire suddenly ignited high from the bonfire, and strangely wound in the air to outline a human figure with sharp horns.
Charles tried to move his flame doppelganger, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he looked down at the Saxons who were staring at him with their mouths wide open, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
