Chapter 80: Knightly Regulations
"Did the Holy Grail find it later?" Lancelot asked, looking into the depths of the jungle.
"Found it, guess what?"
"Oh, is that your first question?"
"Oh, I'll go, you stinky shameless!" Zhou Yu said that he turned Lancelot with his elbow, obviously expressing his indignation at the use of such a trick by a knight of such a gentleman.
Lancelot smiled, and Zhou Yu obviously saw that his head in the helmet was twitching, and he was obviously about to laugh.
"Laugh, laugh! I'll give you one more answer for the first answer. Buy one get one free, 618 special price! Later it was your son who lifted the Holy Grail. β
"W-What? What are you talking about? Apparently this message shocked Lancelot.
"That's right, it's Galahad. It's your son, right? Don't tell me this is another story of a red apricot over the wall! "Where did Lancelot know what it meant for the red apricot to go out of the wall, he was already immersed in the infinite glory of the family. Zhou Yu even saw a few traces of crystal light from the black behind the helmet. For the Knights of the Round Table, the supreme glory is to hold up the Holy Grail, and they built for this and killed each other for this until they disintegrated and fell apart.
"Well, it's your turn, you ask." Lancelot didn't doubt that Zhou Yu would lie to him, because since he knew his origin and knew his story with Guinevere, it was very likely that he was a bystander to the whole incident. How did he know that in the era many years later, these contents would be delivered electronically without leaving home and with every gesture.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Yu thought for a long time just now, how to ask this question, if he asked where this place was, who those people were, and why did they stop us. These questions are not only brain-dead, but they will also make the respected readers who read the book stupid, because they just said that this is the Bone Eclipse Forest, and those people are the decapitated knights, do you need to ask if you stop them? You have broken into people's homes, sat on the sofa and smoked, and you didn't have a big ear scraper to smoke, do you still give you some Meituan takeaway?
"It's a long story, after the riots on the ninth floor of hell, our brigade was hunted down and slaughtered by Hades. Eventually, he might have become tired, so he commanded the Demon King Luchifero to throw us into the Chosen Vessel. I believe that being here is an encouragement to faith, which is the basis for salvation (The Divine Comedy β Dante). β
Zhou Yu didn't interject, he guessed the first half of the way, just like the journey of old Jiamei, Xerxes and even his own people from the East to the Borderlands, he was concerned about the back: why Lancelot was trapped in this bone-eating forest, and he was in the company of these headless horsemen. That's where he cleverly asks questions, one pointing to multiple pieces of information.
"It was probably a few years ago that I had come here, and I was alone and in exile, asking everywhere where the knights lived. As a result, a wand led me to the Bone Eater Forest, where a large number of rebels were buried. It is said that the soldiers who followed a certain divine soldier in the last battle of heaven and earth were later beheaded by one person, but they were blessed by some kind of power, and their ghosts remained and became these headless horsemen. β
"Alright, I'm done with my first question." Zhou Yu was very satisfied with Lancelot's answer.
"Well, I'll have only one problem." In other words, the Metropolitan Governor had only one last chance to ask questions.
"Just ask."
"What are you going to do?"
"Me? I'm going back. β
"Where are you going back?"
"That's your third question."
As soon as the sentence came out, Lancelot found that he had fallen for Zhou Yu's way, and the two laughed together.
"I'm going back to where I came from." At this point, both men were silent. yes, it doesn't belong to them after all. Whether it is Zhou Yu or Lancelot, he always steps on this place that does not belong to his blood, even if he is in the world, or he is displaced, it is not as comfortable as in his previous life. That kind of freedom is like the curling smoke at the entrance of the village in the late autumn evening, and the smell of rice mixed with the smell of firewood burning makes people miss it.
"I see. What's your last question? β
"Me? No more problems. Originally, the Governor wanted to ask him the question of how he became the master of this group of headless horsemen, but now it seems that the question does not make any sense. Does it matter if it is intimidation, conquest, or fraud?
"Haha! Expert! Lancelot admires Your Excellency! The two of them each stretched out their hands and shook them together. It's an exchange of faith, but also an exchange of trust.
"Alright, a few more moments forward, and you'll be able to step out of the Bone Eclipse Forest. Rest assured, no one will be here to hurt you without my orders. Lancelot held on to the reins, unwilling to take another step. Zhou Yu looked at him, and the two looked at each other for a while. He hoped that Lancelot would follow him on the same path, but the man standing there was clearly still hesitating and hesitating, and it all happened too suddenly.
"Good. If one day you change your mind, come to me. How to find me, I believe you must have a way. Zhou Yu saluted him.
"By the way, Ms. Nika." Lancelot said as he turned to Nika.
"If you are in danger or need help, please be sure to send someone to inform you. I will help you, this is the law of chivalry. β
Yes, hearing this, Zhou Yu regretted the misunderstanding he had just made. Lancelot didn't think anything wrong with Nika at all, and in his heart he was afraid that there would never be anyone else except Guinevere, Elena, and Galahad. It's the heart of a villain who lives in the belly of a gentleman.
The so-called chivalric law is summarized by the fifteenth-century English writer Thomas Mallory, the fourth of which is to always give assistance to a lady, and the fifth is to never coerce a woman. It seems that he stopped the duel just now not because he fell in love with Nika's beauty, but because of his duty.
"Alright, then we'll go. Give, give you a token. If he meets again one day, use it as a basis. β
With a ding, a small object burst through the air, and Lancelotta reached out and grabbed it in his hand. Unfolded to reveal a coin with the letter F on one side and the letter D on the other side. What does FD mean? He searched in his head. Oh! Got it! He laughed.
Raise your head, where else is there a trace of the wind-like man and the beautiful girl. Is it a dream? Why is everything so real and yet so vague.
"What did you talk to him about?" Nika hastened to catch up with the Governor and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a little reminiscing with him."
"What, you know him?"
"With us, he was a very famous man."
"Oh? Can you tell me about it? β
"It's okay to talk about it, let's say it first, don't blame me for crying nose!"
"Less, do you think anyone can cry with a few mouths like you?"
"Good, good! Once upon a time, there was a king named King Arthur, and he had a beautiful wife named Guinevere. King Arthur has a group of loyal knights, united around him in search of the Holy Grail, and formed a criminal organization called the Knights of the Round Table, and the Lancelot you see is the leader and brother of this criminal organization, you know? Zhou Yu glanced at her sideways.
"Well, I understand. Continue, do I need to top up to listen to it again? Nika always heard him say these strange words, and she would use them, choking the Metropolitan Governor to the point of almost choking on her own saliva.
Later, Lancelot fell in love with Guinevere, and the platonic love between the two aroused the opposition of the crowd and the hatred of King Arthur, and he sent someone to capture Guinevere and burn her alive. At the time of the execution, Lancelot appeared at the court with one of his brothers, and killed Guinevere in all directions, and later the two fled to the other side of the sea together. β
"Isn't it like the Sea of Kuo?"
"Don't interrupt and listen carefully. King Arthur, instigated by several Knights of the Round Table, crossed the sea to conquer them. Guinevere had no choice but to return. In the end, she became a nun. Lancelot was also depressed and became a monk. Later, both died in solitude. When they were dying, everyone grabbed the love token given by the other party in their hands, and muttered: The sea is dry and rotten, but dare to be with the king. β
"The sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, but dare to fight with the king?" Hearing this, Nika's tears broke like beads in the wind, feeling inexplicably sorry for the infatuated man and woman and their inability to die well.
"You see? I've said it all, I'm going to cry. β
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, and you have to tell people this tear-making story." As she spoke, Nika leaned over and hammered Zhou Yu's back hard.
Women are so strange, pestering you to tell stories, and after telling them, they blame you for making people cry. So how did you get your wish? The Grand Governor pursed his lips helplessly. Alas! It's better to stay away.
"It turns out that he is a real gentleman."
"Well, chivalry is a special spiritual carrier for us there, symbolizing the dignity, indomitability and justice of men. He let you go, oh no, because they have their own rules of knighthood, that is, don't coerce the lady at any time, but help the lady. β
"Haha, it seems that it was right to let me go. You still have your head on your neck, and it seems that you still have the light of this girl. β
"If you are given some color, you will open an anime studio, right? Hush! Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu raised his hand and grabbed the reins vigilantly.
In front of me, there was an incredible scene.
Because, it was a huge iron door, covered with moss, and huge rivets could be faintly seen under the moss. The iron gate is huge and quaint, and it is about to be imprinted with at least a few hundred years of vicissitudes.
"Huh? Thisβdoesn't this look like the craft of the steppe people? Zhou Yu turned over and dismounted, gently stroked the moss with his hand, and a coolness came in.
"Your Excellency, please come over here!" Masha shouted from the side.
Zhou Yu walked over quickly, and on both sides of the gate were fences pulled up by barbed wire, with barbs twisted on them, as if they were rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"This is? Tribulus terrestris? Zhou Yu pulled a hand, and with a flutter, the thistle bounced back, scattering a cloud of smoke and grass in the air.
"Let's go, go in and have a look. According to the map, this is almost the lair of the snake-headed Aquila. Remember, be careful not to act rashly without my orders. β
"Yes, sir!" Bamble and Masha replied in unison.
Zhou Yu pulled out the Sword of Atonement and brushed it twice, cutting through three layers of thistles, opening up a space that could only accommodate one person to bend over. They all tied their horses together and followed him.
Passing through the thistle, there was a huge square, and the things placed on it were all too familiar to Zhou Yu, and even this made him gasp. On the contrary, the slave soldiers who had never seen much of the world looked surprised, and probably felt fresh. Look around.
"Don't touch anything! Beware of traps. Zhou Yu raised the knife and bent down to rush to the front. In the direction he was moving briskly, there was a long-abandoned tank.
Tanks, this kind of thing Soracia could possibly have? The answer is no, with their current civilization progress, let alone tanks, even steelmaking is a problem, without high-precision heat treatment technology, let alone steel plates, just the kind of iron door outside, they can't build it. What's more, there is also a summary and intersection of ordnance, dynamics, surveying, and even chemistry, materials, fuels, and other natural sciences.
Can a group of people still wearing animal skins and painted on their bodies be able to master this? Zhou Yu was surprised, and reached out to stroke the tracks of the tank. It has indeed been abandoned for a long time, and the grass and mud on it are thicker than the chain.
"My lord, there's still one here." Zhou Yu followed the sound and saw Marsha and Bamble each standing in front of a tank, constantly waving at him. This group of things that don't know death, you don't know the power of this steel chariot, just one can set foot on the strongest city on this continent, why do you need thousands of troops.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu stepped on the track and climbed onto the body of the car with one step. Step on the rotating turret and observe the situation around you. Good guys, what catches your eye is a dense crowd of dozens of tanks, most of them heavy tanks in appearance, but also a small number of reconnaissance tanks and infantry tanks. Although it has long been dusty, it is placed very neatly and elegantly, and it seems to be displayed in a special formation, horizontal and vertical.
Could it be that this is a military base? Zhou Yuhu got down from it suspiciously, made a silent gesture on his lips, and continued to touch the cat's waist to the front. Like ghosts, the group quietly infiltrated the hinterland of the fortifications.
