CHAPTER XLII
Kevin stuck an eye out of the table and asked Andrew, "What happened?" ”
Andrew said: "To put it simply, the princess was very unexpectedly snatched away by a very handsome fellow, Alex had been doing it for a month, oh no, ten years and a month, and he was sobering his head with running...... Oh no, he's not going to look for a short meeting, is he?! Andrew's eyes widened suddenly.
"Uncle Andrew!" Gloria walked over.
Andrew was overjoyed: "Wow, you remember me!" ”
Gloria's face flushed: "Of course I do, you are part of my childhood memories." ”
Andrew said: "Childhood? ”
Gloria said, "Well, I remember when I was very young, there was a very kind and lovely uncle who was often with you, and he often mentioned you to me, and he came to you at the beginning, and then he was going to save you...... Later, we played together in the carriage and had a good chat...... Then my uncle lost it, and I kept looking for it, and waited, but my uncle just didn't come back, and he said he was going to take me to a very, very beautiful place, where there was a transparent blue sky, and there were large white clouds, and there was a sun that would make laughter, and there were waves that would chase after the feet......"
Andrew said, "Uh...... His name is Alex, isn't it......"
Gloria said, "Yes! Alex, Uncle Alex! Where did he go? ……”
Andrew's face suddenly turned a little ugly, because he saw the gentleman coming from behind and put his arm around Gloria and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Gloria said, "This is my best friend I met when I was a kid – Andrew! ”
The gentleman smiled peacefully and extended his hand to Andrew.
Andrew took a bite of it!
"Oh! Oh! What are you doing? You lunatic! The gentleman shouted.
Andrew retorted, "It's so unfair, you're so close to Gloria Asia!" ”
The gentleman said, "Unfair? I have always done things equally and above board...... What exactly do you mean? ”
Andrew said: "Hmph, the starting point is different, is that still called fair?" It's just that: draw a line here, and then you and Alex stand on that line, and I shout 'start', and then you can start and run to Gloria, and whoever gets Gloria first wins!" You've fouled too badly! Not only rush but also kiss! You well-dressed beast! I'm not done with you what's going to happen to Alex! ”
The gentleman was visibly confused, and he muttered, "Alex? ”
Gloria anxiously asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Alex?" ”
Andrew suddenly said, "He'...... He...... He suddenly had a bit of an explosion in his mind...... And then...... Then I had the idea to go for a run...... Of course, I actually want to go and run with him, after all, I am still very good at enlightenment, but I just ate 3 catties of marine water donkey meat...... So, let alone running, it's hard to walk......"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind Gloria: "Gloria! ”
They turned their heads to see a majestic old man with a crown on his head, gray hair, and spirits, smiling at him, his armor trimmed with gold, and the jewels of his sword shining brightly.
"Father!" The gentleman and Gloria shouted in unison, and they walked over in surprise, and then fell to their knees together!
"Father?!" Andrew almost fell off his stool.
Behind him, a whole line of neatly dressed royal sword guards also came majestically, knelt down in unison, and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!" ”
The old king said, "No courtesy." ”
Everyone stood up.
The old king said, "Ah—I seem to have slept for a long time! ”
Gloria threw herself into the old king's arms and said coquettishly, "Father, it seems that I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
The old king laughed: "Precious daughter, my father and I are so good, but it is you, does anyone dare to bully you?" ”
Gloria said, "No, I have made a lot of good friends, especially an uncle named Alex, who promised to take me on a trip!" ”
The old king said, "Oh, then, where is that Alex?" I'm going to reward him well! ”
Gloria turned her head to look at Andrew and said, "This uncle is a good friend of Alex. ”
Andrew was obviously taken aback, no, many, many surprises, and he stammered, "You...... You...... Isn't your name Kelly? ”
Gloria said in a daze, "No, my name is Gloria Catalina Michaela. ”
Andrew threw himself on his knees and said, "My dear mother, what are you all about?!!! ”
The old king stepped forward and said, "Come? I'm wondering, can you solve a mystery that has existed in my heart for a long time? ”
Andrew said, "Uh...... What the? ”
The old king asked, "What nationality are you?" ”
Andrew said: "Americans ......"
The old king suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you a native of American, or have you come from England?" ”
Andrew was so frightened that he said, "I don't know, I don't have any relatives in England anyway......"
The old king said, "Oh, then you should not be English, if you are English, I will cut you with a sword!" ”
Andrew was so frightened that he covered his head and asked, "Why?" ”
The old king's face became solemn, and he said: "Those Englishmen are so hateful, they wantonly plunder our merchant ships! The British royal family also didn't give face to the King of Spain, and actually didn't stop the looting, but shared the looted treasures! No way! This account must be settled! I'm angry, I'm really angry! I want to organize all the best and most powerful forces to form an unprecedented 'Invincible Armada' to tear apart the broken ships of the British, so that the British will disappear from the ocean forever, I will ......"
"Excuse me?" Andrew said.
The old king said, "What's the matter?" ”
Andrew said, "Who are you?" ……”
The old man stroked his beard with one hand and shook his cloak with the other, and said, "I am Philip II, King of Spain!" ”
Andrew sat on the ground in fright, and said again and again: "You go on, you go on......"
The old king said, "Oh, I will blow up the broken ships of the British with my mighty cannons, I will pierce the throats of the English with my sword, and I will see who is the overlord of the Atlantic!" ”
Everyone around them applauded, and the old king motioned for them to be quiet.
The old king continued: "In order to guarantee victory in the naval battle, I prayed to the Lord Almighty for seven days and seven nights! On the seventh day, God finally gave his will to go on the expedition! So I clutched the sword that God had given me, stood on the flagship myself, and commanded the whole fleet to set off! This is God's will, and history will remember this day when the mighty Philip II embarked on a journey with all the glory and hope of all of Spain, a journey that only a brave and great king could have embarked on! ”
Andrew said, "Wow, and then what? ”
The old king said, "Well, then...... And then...... By the way, at last, the British fleet gradually came into view, and a bloody battle was coming, and the soldiers loaded their guns and enjoyed the calm before the storm...... I ordered all the officers and men: In order to concentrate firepower, all ships must obey the command and dispatch of the flagship, and no ship shall open fire until the flagship has fired. ……”
The old king stopped suddenly.
"And then?" Andrew asked, puzzled, as he saw that everyone else around him was also frowning.
The old king remained motionless.
Andrew said: "And then what happened? ”
The old king raised his head, his eyebrows were raised and lowered, and he said with an extremely ugly expression: "And then we are here all of a sudden......"
"Hahahaha......" Andrew chuckled as he leaned back.
The old king was angry: "What a laugh! What's so funny! ”
Andrew held back a smile and said: "Let me tell you what happened later, I can clearly see in the middle school history books, the 'Invincible Armada' with more than a thousand ships and 30,000 soldiers was completely wiped out in front of the British Navy with only a few dozen ships and 9,000 soldiers!" Britain became the hegemon of the sea, and then what happened to the industrial revolution, World War I and World War II, European integration, and now, you don't know, Britain and Spain have reconciled, and they have joined an organization called the 'European Union', and even the money in their pockets is the same......"
The old king blew his beard and glared: "You mean, someone unified Europe?!" ”
Andrew shrugged: "No, they volunteered. ”
The old king laughed: "Haha, it's ridiculous, your lie has finally revealed a flaw, and you want those greedy and stupid castle lords to voluntarily unify?" Ha, it's harder than flying us to the moon in an instant! ”
Andrew stared at him with wide eyes.
The old king said: "Now don't talk about any ridiculous European unity, talk about whether the point is good or not, where is this?" Why are we here all of a sudden? ”
Andrew said, "Well, it's a bit hard for us 21st century people to understand, let alone you 17th century heads, so let me try to make it clear in some simple words, huh...... Excuse me, what is the name of the sea you are fighting in? ”
The old king said, "Name? There is no name, the fleet of the British is in the English Channel, so we want to bypass it from the direction of Bermuda and come to the sky! …… Haha, but hell! We seem to be lost, does what you want to say have anything to do with this sea? ”
Andrew said: "It's too big! You know the sewer manhole cover, right? ”
The old king said, "What? ”
Andrew said, "Oh, I forgot you didn't have a manhole cover for the sewers, so now imagine what would happen if there was a big hole in the sea, and you didn't see it, and you walked towards the big hole?" ”
The old king said, "No, there are no holes in the sea, I can assure you, there are no holes in the sea......"
"Oh!" Andrew feels hurt, "So let's assume it has ...... first"
The old king said, "No, no is nothing, as I saw with my own eyes, I was on deck, and there was no hole in the sea......"
Andrew said, "So let's assume it has ......"
The old king said, "If you don't have it, how can you assume that it is?" You ......"
"Ahh - Andrew screamed and passed out.
