Chapter 30: Overestimation
"Before the start of any war, the side that wants to win the war will start preparing for it very early. ”
Because he knows this, the king of the world has been winning, and because he knows this, the king of the world does not believe that science has not begun to prepare.
That is, science deceived the countess.
The countess felt that the king of the world was right, but suddenly, an uncontrollable thought occurred in her mind: maybe science really didn't treat the Last Judgment as a war.
But the attitude of the king of the world is right, in order to win the war, the side involved in the war must make every effort to seize the slightest possibility.
"I never thought of the idea of watching science, this sacrifice was only to determine where science was from the beginning, but science still sees your memories through it. ”
The king of the world walked through a small door and walked out of the spire, greeted by a bright day, it was a clear day.
"That means that the power of science is far beyond the expectations of all believers, and my war plans should be changed. ”
The countess sighed inwardly.
The king of the world really had a battle plan, but she just didn't tell the countess.
The countess walked out the small door and looked at the street in the distance.
This is the top of Notre-Dame.
On the right-hand side is the famous main entrance of Notre-Dame, with statues of saints carved on the towering dripping eaves, and monsters squatting on high places, overlooking passers-by. Not far to the left, there was a towering minaret, where they had been.
"Tell the Emperor of Brittany, that I am willing to make an alliance with him, and by the way, tell him what science wants to do now. ”
"I see. ”
......
"The cellar of the castle, you say?"
After two days and one night of trekking, Magellan and his men finally reached the edge of the mountains, a small bazaar with horse-drawn carriages heading to the northern cities.
Arthur, who was bored on the way, brought up Magellan's speculation in a roundabout way, hoping to get something out of the baron's mouth.
Then the baron gave him the answer directly.
"The contents of the cellar have long been taken out. The baron didn't seem to think it was a secret at all, and he stood in the crowded street and cried out as if shouting, "It's the two on me, and the book." ”
Arthur didn't say anything more.
This answer is naturally and subtly disappointing, and it is really speechless.
It was the domain of a nobleman who provided preferential conditions for merchants and allowed the market to flourish, making it the most remote place for carriages to start and end in the southern mountains of the Holy Loren Empire.
The scattered lords of the Holy Loren Empire were once the most formidable enemies of the King of Worlds. After she occupied this complex and vast land, in order to bring them together into a whole, the king of the world began to build the carriage road. The coachman here is also willing to come to this remote place because he has the subsidy of the king of the world.
"There was the best lodge in the whole mountainous area, the best pork knuckle, we could have a big meal and a good night's sleep, but unfortunately the beer was not as good as my home. ”
The baron, though a little regretful, was not bad for a fresh journey, and he greeted the occasional acquaintance with a smile and led Magellan and the two towards the hotel.
Lunch on this day was extravagant.
To the great surprise of Arthur and Magellan, the baron was not drunk.
"You need to bring a lot of things that you don't usually care about when you go on a long journey, and if you don't look for them in the bazaar, you won't be able to do anything about it halfway through. ”
The baron sighed in a tone of "someone who has come over", and led the two of them towards the market.
Surprisingly, the market is bustling.
Arthur even noticed a couple of explorers.
"I can't help but think sometimes that they're rats or something. ”
The baron obviously didn't know what an explorer was, and when he heard Arthur's exclamation, he turned his eyes to the explorers, and then turned his face with the words "weirdo".
"The most important thing is bread, it must be black bread, otherwise it will not be good to preserve on the road. ”
Arthur grimaced at Magellan.
Magellan smiled helplessly.
From here, it takes about a day by carriage to reach the nearest city, where there will be a market for everything, there will be an explorer's guild, Magellan can be unimpeded, and everything the baron now fears is superfluous.
But Magellan could not think of a way to convince the Baron that the descendant of the Esyadian was too stubborn.
The baron made his way through the crowd and walked towards what he identified as the "Honest Bakery", and then, suddenly, he stopped.
"Hey, welcome, never win the knights!"
The baron was stopped by a richly dressed merchant, with a mocking smile on his face and a Francie accent in his voice, which was exaggerated as if it were a stage play.
"I've won three times. ”
The baron looked at the merchant with a mixed expression of anger and confusion on his face, but he still showed no weakness.
"If you win again, I'll give you back what you lost last time. ”
The merchant laughed and pulled out a worn-out black blindfold, which was a one-eyed blindfold after a long laugh erupted from the curious crowd.
"I use this thing, bet your money, and bet as much as you think it's worth. ”
The merchant was so confident that he seemed convinced that the Baron would take all the money he had on him, and it turned out that the Baron had taken all the money he had intended for his travels.
"That's just a rag!"
There were more onlookers, and in this remote place, people had not seen such a lively scene for too long, especially a fool like the baron, which was a once-in-a-decade encounter.
"That's my family heirloom, it's worth more than your whole family combined!"
The baron's loud voice still drowned out the noise in the center of the crowd, and he held his money bag aloft in the air, looking almost like a character from a bedtime story.
"Come on! we're still betting on dice. ”
It's hard to say who invented it in the first place, but gamblers all over the world have found endless pleasure in it, as well as scammers and thieves.
Arthur could tell at a glance that the merchant was a trickster.
However, the baron knew nothing about this, and for the glory and legacy of his ancestors, the stubborn and proud knight accepted the challenge.
If nothing else, he loses again, and then returns to his castle with empty pockets, yelling at the mountains after getting drunk.
Then the unexpected appeared.
The merchant used a small trick to ensure that he would win, and Magellan retaliated with a-for-tat, which turned the result into the opposite.
The baron won.
