Chapter 100: The Grace of Dripping
Arthur walked through the dilapidated ghetto to Alice's house and knocked softly on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a shadow appeared in front of Arthur's eyes.
"I've been waiting for you. Alice shook her head, a little disappointed.
"I know, but I also need to think about a lot. ”
The two walked into the living room, and Arthur touched his slightly dazed forehead and gave a brief overview of the matter.
"Arthur, now is your chance to fight for the throne. Alice said. "No matter how high your prestige is now, you will still be bridal in the future, and it is useless for a wise king to do good deeds. ”
Arthur nodded. "You're right, but I have my plans. Farin is a mess, and whoever takes over now is unlucky. ”
"Since you have decided, I can only support you. You should know that your talent for learning magic is too low, but your singing voice is infectious, and I hear many bards telling your story. ”
"This scroll is for you, and it should help you. Alice handed Arthur an old scroll of animal skins.
The hides have long been mottled, badly damaged in some places, and have lost their original meaning in most places, except for a few simple chants of war.
"Singing of Issus", "Eternal Radiance", "Dance of the Spirits"
The former increases the marching speed of the troops, the eternal brilliance recovers from injuries, and the Heavenly Dance of the Battle Spirit greatly stimulates the potential and increases the combat capability.
As chants, their limit can envelop an entire army.
"Isn't there anything else to give? Arthur smiled and held out his hand.
Alice shook her head, "Margaret was summoned back by her mother, maybe you can see each other later, and she let me tell you before she leaves, I'm sorry I didn't have you by your side to help you through this." ”
"You are very strong now, but the holy sword will be used less in the future, his destructive power is only applicable on the battlefield, that sword is the sword of the king after all, to bring hope to people, don't let it be dusty. ”
"I take your advice. ”
The two sat together and chatted briefly, and as it grew dark, Alice invited Arthur to dinner, but Arthur did not refuse.
The candlelit dinner and the dimly lit living room make Alice's black gown look mysterious and attractive.
The night breeze blows in along the open windows, making the candlesticks sway gently like a moving dance.
I don't know why Arthur suddenly felt a slight pain in his heart, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
A powerful magic power radiated from his body, and Alice on the other side watched Arthur's changes.
"I'm sorry, I'm leaving. Arthur said abruptly on his feet.
"What's wrong?" Alice asked.
Arthur put on his coat and glanced back at Alice. "Something happened to my friend, I'll go and take a look. ”
After speaking, he rushed out of the door.
Alice tapped the glass lightly with a spoon, and the red wine in the glass suddenly flew into the air and turned into a red mirror, and the mirror was Arthur's anxious face.
Do you feel it?, Alice narrowed her eyes slightly.
..................................
"Let go of me, you bastards. ”
"Do you know who I am, what are you going to do?" exclaimed Elizabeth with tears in her eyes. "Who's going to save us. ”
In the dirty alley, a young girl dressed in a delicate maid costume and a young lady in a white floral dress were surrounded by a group of men who smelled of rot and mold.
More than a dozen men of different ages caught the two girls here and looked at the two beautiful women with lewd smiles on their faces, they didn't want money, they just wanted to meet their needs.
The alley stretched out into a dilapidated narrow alley, lined with poor people waiting to die.
The voices were loud but no one cared for them, no one went to help, and there was only endless indifference in their eyes.
The nobles are too arrogant, what does it have to do with them.
The old ugly woman who picked up the guests, I don't know where to find half a chicken leg, ate it in a big gulp, she pricked up her ears and listened to the movement inside, this is a fragrant show, they are all spectators.
"Aren't you afraid of death? Elizabeth looked at them angrily, and walking here today was probably the worst choice she had ever made in her life.
Shalene pulled out a wooden stick from the corner and blocked it in front of Elizabeth, it didn't matter if she was dead or even insulted, but Elizabeth must not be injured, otherwise the owner would definitely be implicated.
The two had come in to find Arthur, and now he hadn't found him, but was blocked deep into the alley by a group of people.
"Who are you, do you have anything to do with us? Here you only speak by strength, powerful people have food, of course women don't need strength, they just need to split their thighs, haha.........." The man laughed maniacally.
A group of men showed obsessive gazes, eager to eat them alive.
"You hear that my master is Lord Arthur, the head of the Lord, and this young lady is Elizabeth, daughter of the Earl of Ridge, do you know what you are doing? Charlene shouted.
The sound was loud and heard outside, and the people on both sides were in place, and even though many people had not seen Arthur himself, his name was etched in the depths of their minds and lingered.
On a broken straw mat on the left side of the alley, an old man and a young man sat in one place, and the young man curled up in one place with his hands on his knees, his eyes glazed blank.
The voice in the alley came in clearly, and the old man smiled and bared his yellow teeth, like a fool.
My master is Arthur!!!!
Hearing this, the young man seemed to recall something, and his eyes regained a little brightness. He pulled out a rusty iron pipe from the side and stood up.
The old man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed him tightly, still smiling on his face.
"Master... Father.. , the man... To give.. Pass.. We... Food," the teenager's voice was choppy.
The old man tilted his head and remembered something, and slowly let go. Watching the young man go away, a few tears fell from his eyes.
The group took a few steps back when they heard Arthur's name, but they were still unwilling, and they all looked at a lewd man in the lead.
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to die. Can you ever go to Elizabeth, the dream lover of the nobles of the kingdom, for the rest of your life? ”
"Picked her up for me. The man pointed to Elizabeth.
Suddenly, a few people at the back screamed loudly, and after a while, they knelt on the ground, and blood was bubbling from their heads.
A teenager was beating them frantically with an iron pipe, and by the time they came to their senses, four people had already collapsed, and they looked badly injured.
"Dead dumb, what do you care about Lao Tzu? kill him. Whoever kills the mute, I will be him after me. ”
Drinking !! a lone wolf who is not afraid of death, facing a group of hungry wolves, he began a bloody bite.
Charlene and Elizabeth watched the boy being beaten, falling to the ground again and again and getting up again and again, blood splattered, some teenagers and some others.
Suddenly a rain fell in the sky, washing away the blood on the ground, but it couldn't wash away the smell of the ground.
Charlene knelt in the depths of the alley with Elizabeth in her arms and witnessed a human tragedy.
All beings exist because of our Lord, and our Lord shines on the world. Elizabeth remembered what her mother used to say, she had always thought that the world was full of light, but what was in front of her.
But it is disqualified in the world.
Arthur, where are you!!
A pack of hungry wolves had beaten the boy to death, and were still trampling his corpse with impunity, blurring the flesh and blood of his kicks.............
It doesn't matter about the light, the justice.
They were inspired by the boy's death to all the bloody side, ugly and crazy, they laughed madly, and trampled on corpses madly.
"Stop. A shining figure appeared on the outside of the alley.
His voice seemed to change everything, and the rain in the sky suddenly stopped, and the light seemed to fall here.
The crazy man Mu Mu looked up and saw the figure of a god descending, and there were many people standing behind him, I don't know for whom, for the two young ladies, or for the young man who repaid the favor?
They picked up the "weapon" in their hands!!
"Arthur !!"
"The host !!"
Outside, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, which seemed chaotic and nervous.
"You are guilty!!" Arthur looked at the boy on the ground, his gaze locked on the group. There is no anger, only the coldness of falling into the abyss.
