Chapter 1884: The Iron Maiden (2)

"Okay, I'll figure out how to find Bedi myself. You take me to a neighboring city. Arthur then said.

"Of course, Lord Aslan. Little Zust replied, "But you have just woken up from a long slumber, and you must be tired." Shall I take you to the lounge to settle in?"

Arthur didn't answer, just nodded. He did feel a little groggy, and the sensation in his body was more numb. It is very dangerous to go out and act now, but it is wiser to see what can be used in this so-called Melson Brotherhood.

"Anyway, where's my saber?" asked Arthur.

"Are you talking about the holy sword you used to destroy the True Ancestor back then?" said Little Zust, "Father recovered it, and now it should still be stored in the treasure room of the Brotherhood's base." ＂

"I need it. Arthur said impatiently, "Right now." ＂

"Hmm...... The sword was in the treasure room, and the key to the treasure room was only possessed by Inspector Thigen, and there was no other backup key. Inspector Tygen just went out for an inspection yesterday, and it won't be until a week later before he returns. ＂

"Tsk. Arthur couldn't help but feel uncomfortable: "I still have to ask you for my own things." And I can't come back right away. ＂

Little Zust smiled awkwardly, "Father instructed me back then, that holy sword is an important treasure of Lord Aslan. To prevent the sword from being stolen, we locked it in what the Brotherhood thought was the safest place in the world. We don't know when you're going to wake up, Lord Aslan. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. ＂

"Good. Although he was very upset, the other party showed an expression of "what should I do, I'm also desperate", and even Arthur was embarrassed to continue to blame.

Unlike the upright vampire hunter uncle back then, this little Zust is actually unexpectedly a slippery head?

"This way, please. "Led by Little Zust, Arthur came to a room that was very clean and very well lit.

"Dinner is at six o'clock in the afternoon, and I'll let you know when it's time. Little Zust handed Arthur the key and retreated to the door: "Well, then, rest well, Lord Aslan. ＂

"Hmm. Arthur didn't say anything more and just closed the door. Fatigue filled his body, the body of this weak young man did not obey the call, and he did not have a weapon in his hand, only locking the door could give him a sense of security.

Still, the pleasant sophistication outside the window brings Arthur a hint of relaxation.

The base of the Melson Brotherhood is located in the middle of a deep mountain forest, and it is extremely secluded. Arthur saw smoke rising from a town in the distance, which was covered by the end of the jungle, and it was at least ten or twenty kilometers away. Judging by the structure, the base was dug directly into the interior of the cliff, and Arthur's windowed room was a cliff outside, about fifty feet from the bottom of the cliff. It's not completely impossible to jump from here and escape, but the body of the young man Arthur is now controlling is obviously not as resistant to fighting and falling as King Arthur's original body, and if you jump from this height, you are afraid that you will break your leg.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it. Now it's better to rest well, so that the tired body that has just woken up from the stone statue can recover.

Thinking like this, Arthur lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep dimly.

It was in the middle of his mind------

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?------" someone was calling him.

In the haze, the black crow stood out. It didn't take Arthur a second to know the origin of the crow, which was Merlin's messenger and the means by which Arthur and the others communicated after they arrived in this other world nine hundred years later.

"Did you come to my dream?" Arthur asked, opening his eyes, "I really didn't know Harry had this ability." ＂

"Normally, this ability can't be used, the spiritual protection of ordinary people is too strong, and the night demon can't sneak into dreams. But His Majesty's current situation is quite special, and it is estimated that he is weak to a certain extent, so this spell succeeded. Your Majesty's current mental state can be dreamed by Harry, and it can also be dreamed by other demons, and there is a danger of indulging your mind. So I made an exception for Harry to use Dreaming to prevent His Majesty from being attacked by other demons in this weak state. ＂

"Yes? That's really good for you. The Knight King said. But what he actually meant was [you're so nosy].

"Any news on this?" the Knight King continued.

"I sent Harry everywhere to investigate. The current situation should be that France and England are at war and are in a state of stalemate. The black crow replied, "And you may not believe it when you say it, Your Majesty, time has passed------"

"Ten years. Of course. The Knight King didn't bother to listen to Merlin's nonsense, and quickly interrupted. He already knew this information.

"It seems that Your Majesty, you already know. Merlin's reply was a little awkward: "In these ten years, England, which had already conquered most of France, was greatly hindered by the presence of a [holy woman]. This [holy woman] is the Joan of Arc that we know. ＂

"Well," Arthur sighed, "I don't think it's strange at all. ＂

Greenwiel had a talent for commanding battles, but she was buried in the Knights just because she was a woman. In fact, her combat ability and command ability are very strong, which is quite a true biography of her father Parin Lore. Even if her consciousness travels through more than 900 years to present-day France, even if she has no memories of the original, certain "innate" advantages will continue to exist with her.

"Where is she now?" asked the Knight King again.

"The French army is in the process of storming the fortress of Tulliers. Merlin replied: "Because of Joan of Arc's strategy, almost all of the British wooden defenses were breached, and the British had to retreat to Tuller, holding on to the impregnable rock walls. The siege equipment of the French army was so poor that it would be difficult to break through such castles. ＂

Still, Greenway probably won't give up easily. The Knight King snorted, "All right." I'll be ready and equipped for it, and I'll be rushing to Turiel in no time. Hopefully, the French army will hold out. ＂

"Your Majesty, are you really okay with this?" Merlin asked.

"What's the problem?"

"I mean...... Your Majesty, if you make a move, it will be tantamount to confronting your own motherland...... ＂

"Fart. Arthur said angrily: "The England that invades France now is not the Great Britain I know. In this war, the British army that invaded France had no benevolence to speak of, and it was far from the purpose of the British Knights. Such an unkind and unjust invading army of England, I wish I could teach them a lesson. ＂

"But if you fight, Your Majesty, you will kill Britons------ well, future Britons. ＂

"As a soldier on the battlefield, they must be prepared to be killed, no matter whose hand they are killed. Arthur felt that there was no point in going on, so he interrupted, "Okay, let's leave it at that." The next target is the Fort of Tuliel. You just go ahead and gather information. ＂

"Yes, Your Majesty. The black crow suddenly took off from where it had been standing, and flew away in a few clicks.

And it didn't take long for King Arthur to wake up from his dream.

At dusk, the afterglow of the sunset just shone in from the window, reflecting a golden yellow. After a little sleep, Arthur's fatigue recovered a little, but the pain was still there. It is no wonder that he was turned into a stone statue and stood still there for ten years. How can the physical tiredness accumulated over the past ten years be completely eliminated after a short rest?

Fort of Tulliers. What a distant goal. There are still two most urgent goals to accomplish now, one is to find Bediwell, and the other is to recover Arthur's weapon [Seraph's Sword].

Knock knock. Someone knocked on the door at this time.

"Lord Aslan, have you woken up?" someone outside the door whispered, "It's dinner time, if you wake up, come to the cafeteria, right?"

The person who knocked on the door was smart. Whether it's a knock or a call, it's just the right amount of sound. If Arthur was still sleeping, he would not have been woken up by this sound, and if Arthur had woken up, he would have heard it clearly and knew that it was time to eat.

"I see, here it is. So the knight king climbed down from his bed and dressed himself.

When he went out, he thought that it was little Zust who informed him of dinner time at the door, but he didn't realize that it was someone else who knocked on the door to remind him (the person lowered his voice when he spoke, and he couldn't hear the difference). It was a handsome blonde boy of about ten years old, with a face that looked a bit like little Zust.

"Are you...... Arthur couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Joey Zust, it is an honor to serve you, Lord Aslan. The boy saluted: "My father asked me to come and inform you of the meal." I just hope it doesn't disturb your rest. ＂

"Oh, of course not. I woke up a long time ago. The Knight King replied. So even little Zust has a son. But of course, French people are naturally more lustful, and early marriage and early childbearing are also common things. Old Zust is fifty years old, and it would be normal for his son, Johnny Zust, to start a family in his twenties and then have a son in his teens.

"Well, please. Joey saluted again and began to lead the way, intending to lead Arthur all the way to the cafeteria.

At first, Arthur thought it was just an ordinary dinner in an ordinary cafeteria------ until he saw a large crowd of scholars, businessmen, and even officials from all over the world dressed in fancy clothes.

They surrounded the lobby and turned their curious gaze to Arthur, who had just walked in.
