Chapter 8: The Devil's Hospitality

The morning sun of early autumn in Great Britain has a hint of coolness, and as it pierces through the mist-shrouded Intramural City, it also awakens the city that is now the political center of the island of Great Britain.

As the guards shouted trumpets and pushed the winch, the heavy gates slowly rose. The caravans and peasants from outside the city, who had been waiting at the city gates early, swarmed in the city as soon as the gates opened, and the whole city seemed to wake up from a state of confusion that had not yet woken up.

Charles stood by the window and looked at the noisy city, his eyes calm. For the royal city of Emilor, which has a population of tens of thousands and is considered a large city in this era, Charles, who was on the earth with an explosive population in his previous life, said that there are hundreds of thousands of people in a small county town in eastern China, and Emillot has a small population.

"Master, Prince Ryanz is visiting, do you need to refuse?"

The voice of the maid who suddenly appeared interrupted Charles's memory, and Charles, who was already frowning, suddenly flashed a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes after hearing the maid's words.

At this time when King Yusher's health was deteriorating and there was an invasion from outside, this prince suddenly visited himself, a strange and powerful man who appeared in the royal city out of thin air, what did this prince think in his heart.

Did he already feel that King Uther would not last long, that he could do whatever he wanted, and that he had some thoughts about that position that he should not have?

Charles just wanted the maid to refuse the other party, but suddenly thought of something, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth turned slightly into agreement.

"Prepare your meal and welcome the prince in."

Charles didn't wait long before he saw a middle-aged man with a windy walk and a clear superiority following his maid into the study.

Seeing this middle-aged man with long curly blond shawl hair and a hint of peace on his face, Charles hurriedly got up and walked to the door.

"It is a great honour, Prince, that you are able to visit me, and forgive me for not being able to greet you in person when I just got up."

"Your Excellency Charles, you have worked hard, you are not an unknown person in the royal city now, the king is full of praise for your knowledge, and even the prestige of His Excellency Merlin is full of praise for you." The Prince of Ryan assumed the appearance of a corporal and waved his hand to show that he did not mind.

After stretching out his hand to invite the prince to sit down, Charles waved his hand to the maid behind him to serve some small meals (tea was only introduced to Europe in the 17th century, and it was only in the middle of the 17th century that tea became popular in England, and the main drink in Europe was alcohol).

"I wonder what happened to your visit, Your Royal Highness?"

Shortly after he sat down, Charles feigned silence for a moment before asking Prince Ryans about his intentions.

When Ryan heard Charles's words, a trace of disdain suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said that he was just a poet wandering on the mainland, and he really couldn't even understand the situation in the royal city. But after all, he has been in a high position for a long time, and he pretended to pick up the wine glass on the table, and hid his expression well.

However, as a devil, not to mention the innate talent of controlling the soul, Charles, who had been paying attention to Prince Ryans opposite for a long time, could not miss that fleeting disdain. However, Charles did not show any other expression, pretending not to see anything, and looked at Prince Ryans with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Charles on the other side had been staring at him, Prince Ryan's heart suddenly became unhappy, as the prince under Emillot alone, when did anyone dare to stare at him like this, no one with any identity could not even see him.

However, Prince Ryan's Qi cultivation skills are also excellent, and he did not show a trace of unpretentious expression on his face, and looked at Charles indifferently.

"It's not interesting, but I heard that Your Excellency Charles is extraordinary, and knows a lot about the other continent, and I usually admire people like you, not some short-sighted and ignorant people. So this time I came to visit you, and by the way, I also want to see what a person with such skills looks like, and his appearance is really extraordinary. ”

Hearing the words of Prince Ryans on the other side, Charles sneered in his heart, it was not because I had been appreciated by King Uther that Prince Ryans, who had been careful in his heart after King Uther's health was slightly ill, was a little surprised, and he was afraid that he would affect the current situation, so he came to generalize himself.

However, Prince Ryan is not an idiot, and naturally knows that he and Charles are only meeting for the first time, and they don't know what the relationship between him and King Uther is, and whether he has been subdued by King Uther.

So this time, Prince Ryans really just hugged to meet the wandering poet who suddenly appeared in the royal city. After all, in addition to not knowing what poets I haven't heard of, there are also a lot of missionaries from the opposite continent, who knows if this one is really talented.

In the following time, Prince Ryan did not mention any words such as solicitation, but began to talk to Charles about the situation in Great Britain and some news on the opposite continent.

Charles went out last night, and in addition to the occasional subjugation of a Saxon tribe, he also got some news from this tribe about the current situation of the European continent. After all, in his previous life, Charles was just an otaku, and he said that he loved history, but it was just a hobby, not a historian, not to mention that everyone in history should also study which dynasties at home and abroad.

And the Saxons have been able to become famous on the European continent for more than a hundred years, in addition to their strong physique honed by the cold environment of Northern Europe, there is also a reason to understand the news of the mainland, otherwise it is not uncommon for the bones to be eaten but the teeth are broken.

Therefore, Charles was not false at all about Prince Ryan's intentional temptation, so he sat quietly and talked to Prince Ryans, which made Ryans amazed in his heart, but also really wanted to recruit.

However, Prince Ryans, who knew that the time had not come, got up and looked out the window and said to Charles after learning that Charles really had a gully in his chest.

"What a pleasant chat with Lord Charles, and sure enough, the king and Master Merlin did not exaggerate your praise in the slightest, but underestimated you a little. However, I have been nagging Your Excellency for some time, so I am embarrassed to stay any longer, and I hope to be able to talk to you next time. ”

"Your Royal Highness, you are polite, I can't ask for your visit, and I will ask Your Highness to come to the Humble House more in the future." With a look of trepidation on his face, Charles hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to Ryans.

"Alright, Lord Charles, then I'll go first."

"Wait a minute, Your Highness."

"Huh?" Ryan looked at Charles suspiciously, wondering what he was doing to stop him.

"Your Royal Highness, I am very honored to visit you, but because I am only a traveling poet, I have no treasures other than the experience and insight of traveling on the mainland." Charles had an embarrassed look on his face.

Not to mention, Charles, who was just an otaku in his previous life and was not very good at communication and deception, after crossing into the devil, he was really self-taught about deception, and he couldn't see that the embarrassed look on his face was pretended, and it could only be said that the devil really couldn't point to the skill of deception.

"However, when I was in Rome, I also got a holy relic that is said to be left by the Lord in the world, and this time I will use it as a thank you gift to thank His Highness for visiting me."

Charles pretended to pull out a small box from his body, but in fact it was taken out of the carry-on space that every high-ranking devil has, and handed it to Ryan with both hands.

Curiously, Ryan reached out and took the box and opened it, but then there was a look of surprise on his face, and the moment he opened the box, he saw a bracelet with a mysterious pattern lying in the box, and when his eyes just fell on this bracelet, Ryan suddenly felt that his heart was calm and peaceful, as if the Lord was standing in front of him and looking at him with kindness.

"How can this be, this thank you gift is too valuable!" Ryan was really not without any real skills, in front of a holy object that could be clearly perceived to be genuine, after a moment of surprise only a trace of reluctance flashed on his face, he decisively closed the box and handed it back to Charles.

Seeing that Ryan only hesitated for a while and then decisively returned it to himself, Charles praised it slightly in his heart, and he really had the courage to think of other things under the eyes of Merlin and King Uther, and he was able to avoid being noticed by others, but he was really the number one person.

These were all thoughts, and Charles smiled not in the slightest on his face, and reached out to shove the box back into Ryans's hand.

"Your Royal Highness, this holy relic actually doesn't mean much in my hands, I don't believe in the Lord, and only a devout believer like you can make the best use of it."

Although Christianity was founded by the Jews, it was not until the Roman emperors decided that the religion was suitable for their empire and established it as the state religion of the European continent. As a former Roman vassal state, Great Britain still considers Rome to be its own country, and Christianity is naturally prevalent here, especially those nobles, most of whom are believers in Christianity.

However, although Christianity had spread in Europe, it had not yet reached the level of the mid-to-late Middle Ages, and could almost influence the government of a country. So for Charles to say that he didn't believe in the Lord, Ryan didn't say anything, but showed a trace of hesitation on his face, Charles would naturally observe the words, and after persuading him a few times, Ryan accepted it with peace of mind.

"I have written down this affection, Charles, if you have anything to do in the royal city, please look for me."

After accepting such a valuable gift, Ryan's mouth was even more cordial, and after he turned his heart, he felt that it was okay, his relationship with Charles was closer, and it would be easier to accept this person in the future.

After a few pleasantries, Charles sent Ryans out until the other party disappeared around the corner, and the originally kind smile on his face suddenly became a little strange and sarcastic.

Charles went back to his study and sat lazily, thinking about the bracelet he had just given Ryans. As a devil, how could he collect such a thing, not to mention that Charles had only been in this world for a few days, where did he have the time to do such a boring thing.

That bracelet was naturally concocted by Charles, the demon himself, and had nothing to do with the Lord God of this world, as for the so-called Lord's gaze that Ryan felt from that bracelet, it was actually just a magic to soothe the soul, and this bracelet was not so simple, it was a hand of Charles.

This is the devil's hospitality, and beneath the surface of friendliness lies endless intrigues and traps.
