Chapter 2238: Dark Forest (2)
[The world we live in is a dark forest.] In this forest, everyone is a hunter with a bow and arrow, carefully sneaking. As soon as they spot an opponent, they will draw their bows and arrows and hunt them down. Hunting and being hunted, only between the turn of thought. ]
"Beddy, what's going on?" and when there was no one else, Arthur asked, "Why did we end up in such a place?" Aren't we going to London? What has happened before?"
"Arthur, are you sleepy again?" said Beddywell, "Haven't we been to London before......? Examine...... What counts? Sorry, I can't remember the complicated names. "
"I've been to London?" the Knight King was shocked, "I don't have any memories of this part at all." The last thing I remember was falling asleep in a hotel in Port Penzance. "
"Merlin also said that you could be like this. Bediwell didn't seem surprised by this: "The influence of this other world on you is getting worse and worse, but we can't find a reason for it, so we can only let things continue to deteriorate." Now it's a race against time, either we complete the mission and leave this other world, or you watch yourself be eroded by this other world, completely forgetting your true identity, completely lost in this other world. "
"Damn it------" The blonde boy covered his head with one hand and unsheathed his sword with the other. As the trail progresses, the vegetation of the Black Forest becomes denser and darker. This dimness may have no effect on the great white wolf with night vision, Bediwell, but Arthur could not see anything clearly, and could only use the light from the Seraph's Holy Sword to illuminate the way.
"How long has it been since Penzance set out?" asked Arthur again.
"Soon, two months. "
"Damn! it's not that long, I've lost my memory for two whole months?!" Arthur exclaimed.
Bediwell disagreed: "Calm down, Arthur. Maybe you just can't remember it for a while------ it's happened a few times before------ but then you remember everything. "
"I hope so. The blonde boy was still skeptical: "Then, Bedi, at least give me a brief summary of what happened before." Otherwise, I won't be able to keep up with the current progress. "
"To put it simply, you set out from Penzance and went to London, where you came into contact with the nobles, but you didn't stay long. "The nobles are not very receptive to you, they can't believe the words of a nameless and declining nobleman who has suddenly appeared. "
"And rightfully so. Arthur snorted.
"So what we have to do now is to find a way to gain the trust of the landlords and nobles in all parts of the country. Bediwell said: "The first thing to do------ of course this is Arthur's idea------ is to make a name for yourself first, so that Arthur you can establish your prestige." "
"Understood. The blonde boy nodded, "How do you do that?"
"Remember what they mentioned earlier?" the great white wolf grinned, "In this era of backward medical and technological development, these stupid humans thought that the Black Death was a form of witchcraft, and even thought that the Black Death was the wrath of their god and punished the guilty with the plague of death. Hehe, maybe that's the case. The first two kings of England, Edward III and Charles V, were both responsible for the invasion of France, but they both died of the Black Death. "
"It's just bacteria and viruses, superstitious or something. Arthur snorted.
"Yes, you go and explain this to them. Bediwell also grumbled dissatisfiedly: "The fools of this era don't even know what bacteria are. "
"That's a long way off, Bedi. The Knight King gave the big white wolf a blank look: "So, does this have anything to do with what we are going to do next?"
"Rumor has it that this [Black Forest] is inhabited by witches who use some kind of sorcery and are the source of the Black Death. Bediwell snorted, "So we're going to investigate." If you can really find any clues, or even kill one or two witches, maybe you can really make Arthur famous?"
"At that time, you will be accepted by that group of nobles as a hero, and quickly approach the core of power in this country, Earl Warwick, right?" Arthur had already straightened out his thoughts: "Not a bad idea. But is it really going to be this way? Maybe there's nothing in this forest?"
"The Black Forest is a scary place. Even if you don't find anything, you can go deep into this forest alone and return alive, which is enough to become the talk of the nobles. Bediwell replied, "This is also what Arthur himself said." Let's believe it. "
"Tsk...... Arthur wondered, he didn't remember saying anything like that again, but it was clearly the same as he was used to. It was in this kind of place that inexplicably made him feel uncomfortable, as if he had never done anything, but someone had arranged a way forward for him in the dark. And this person is still imitating him, a self that seems to be himself but is not his own.
"Stop gossiping, focus on preparedness. Bediwell snorted suddenly, "Looks like a guest is here." "
Arthur clenched the hilt of his sword. Depending on the strength of the enemy, the Seraph's true blade may be unsheathed. But most of the time, its bladeless blade (which is actually a scabbard) is enough to settle the fight.
Several dark shadows swooped out from the dark forest, and in the light of the holy sword, Arthur found that they were some large wolves with black and shiny coats, a total of seven wolves. Unlike ordinary wild wolves, these extraordinarily large wolves should be called za wolves, and their eyes are emitting an evil blood-red light, which is obviously not good.
"Beddy, your family?" Arthur asked, "Let them stand down." "
"Just kidding, they're not my family. But the big white wolf said.
"But they're wolves. Shouldn't all wolves listen to humans and wolves?"
"Not really. It should be said that the wolves in my territory are my family, and now far away from my territory, these guys are not affiliated with me. Bediwell said: "But looking at their fierce appearance, sure enough, there are other demons behind them." "
"Another wolf?"
"It's hard to say, there is a possibility, and it may be another demon. There are more demons who can control animals. Bedeville snorted, "Anyway, let's concentrate on these guys first." When their casualties are enough, maybe the guy who is manipulating them behind their backs will lose their breath and show up. "
"Yes. Arthur then raised the Seraph's sword to fight. They are only facing a few wolves, and the real holy sword does not need to be unsheathed, that is, the level at which you can win with a bladeless sword body (scabbard). Bediwell's side didn't even unsheath the demon-breaking silver sword from his back, as if he wanted to play paw fight with these wolves. Since they didn't know what kind of demons were controlling behind the wolves here, both of them planned to hide their strength, so as not to be seen by their opponents too early.
Wolves are creatures that like to act in groups and hunt together, so they know how to cooperate with each other and besiege their opponents from several angles. As if believing that Bediwell was stronger than Arthur, the seven wolves were divided into two teams, four of which began to flank Bediwell, and the other three attacked Arthur. This can't help but make the knight king's heart a little angry, but the other party is just a beast, and he will only judge the strength and weakness by looking at the opponent's size, and it is normal to have eyes and not know Taishan, Arthur will not care about them.
"Well, by the way, it's best not to kill them if you can. Just as the battle began, Bediwell suddenly said, "After the cripple, force them to submit, maybe they can be tamed for my family in return." I don't have any family members here in the UK, and if I do, it will bring a lot of convenience to our future actions. Even if you can't tame my family, you can at least get a little bit of information from these guys. "
"I'll try to do it. Arthur said. The Seraphic Holy Sword was not actually unsheathed, and he had not intended to kill these wolves with the bladeless scabbard that was now bladeless. However, the scabbard itself is silver, and it also has a certain lethality to the demons, and if you don't study the angle and timing of the shot, beating the enemy with the scabbard can indeed kill the wolves.
This was also proved by the facts------ just a wolf who was not afraid of death pounced on Arthur head-on, thinking that this seemingly weak blonde boy was easy to bully. As a result, Arthur subconsciously waved the holy sword in his hand, and the sword body (scabbard) was aimed at the wolf's head and smashed it squarely, almost shattering the wolf's skull. If it weren't for Bediwell's previous words, Arthur would definitely not have been able to control the strength in time, and if he hadn't twisted the sword in time and slapped it with the plane of the sword, then the wolf would have had his head torn apart and would have died.
In any case, when he struck the sword, the wolf flew out in reverse, and fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to get up again without being unconscious for a few hours. The other two wolves attacked Arthur from the right and right rear, thinking that they would take advantage of it. King Arthur is a man of a hundred battles, if the top master attacks him like this, he may also panic politely, but the opponent is just an ordinary beast, he can not even be too lazy to play polite panic, the backhand is a sword, hit the shoulder of the other wolf with the blade of the sword, and then turn around and kick out, with the thick leather boots he is wearing on the head of the other wolf, the two beasts will fly out at the same time, and land at the same time!
This series of movements may seem complicated, but in fact it is only completed in two seconds, and the fluency is as natural as breathing. Although none of the wolves who were knocked away died, they were firmly hit by Arthur, and they were all severely injured that they could not get up again for a moment and a half, and the battle was over.
"Do you want to help, Bedi?" After a warm-up skirmish, the blonde boy didn't even breathe. He calmly put away his sword and asked.
