Lancaster left with his men. The black-robed old man was calming the angry and grieving crowd around him who had lost their homes because the fields had been burned down.

Little Peter and his party followed Henry to the red-haired man. Henry pointed at Little Peter and said, "This is Edward, and he is responsible for maintaining and protecting the village. Belonged to the head of the first line of defense of Cromwell Abbey. ”

Henry introduced them to each other and asked Edward a few questions. After getting the other party's answer, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

He unnaturally showed an apologetic expression to the old man, opened his mouth, and stammered: "Edward just said that due to the recent critical situation in the Holy See, Cromwell's Abbey does not accept anyone now. Well, it's that their entire monastery area is under martial law. So I think it's probably a pity that you might, um, probably won't be able to get in. ”

The old man didn't have a surprised expression after hearing this, he just smiled slightly, and then took Little Peter and they walked directly to the black-robed old man.

After the black-robed old man had calmed down the crowd around him, the old man came up to him and said something. As he spoke, he took out a medal from his bosom and handed it to the other party. The black-robed old man looked at him suspiciously, looked at the medal in his hand again, and shook his head after thinking for a long time. He returned the medal to the old man, and regretfully said that he could not let them enter the monastery.

The old man sighed and muttered that it was not so easy, and after looking around and seeing that there was no one else, he whispered a name in the ear of the black-robed old man. The black-robed old man's face changed and stared at him, and the old man looked at each other very calmly.

The black-robed old man didn't see anything unusual after looking at it for a long time, he thought about it and finally looked at it and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask the dean." Please rest around here now. ”

The old man nodded, handed the medal in his hand to the other party and said, "It's best to show this to your dean." ”

After the black-robed old man carefully hid the medal, he said a few words to Edward, then turned around and slowly returned the way he came. Under the background of the surrounding environment, the figure seemed so small, and it was so difficult to walk. Slowly, I don't know how long, the figure disappeared.

Edward looked at them, and then had no choice but to take Peter and his party to the camp where the Knights of the Holy See were stationed.

Henry followed awkwardly, and he looked at Edward's camp and exclaimed, "Hey, you're living well." ”

Little Peter looked around and saw that the camp was in a valley not far behind the village. The whole camp was not as full of wood and tents as he thought. On the contrary, it is more of a fortress than a camp.

The whole camp is made of a large amount of stone piled up to form a castle. In the small square in front of the castle there are some rejection horses. When he entered the castle, Peter Jr. found that a large group of men and horses were gathering in a clearing in the castle, fully armed. When they saw Edward walk in, they all relaxed, greeted each other, and left in groups.

Edward smiled embarrassedly at Henry, who was following behind him, and he covered his forehead with one hand and whispered, "Well, this, these people are prepared for Lancaster's desperate attack." ”

Henry patted him on the shoulder, saying nothing. Edward breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led them into a hall.

Little Peter looked at the hall full of weapon racks and couldn't help but be curious, and he walked to one of the weapon racks to take a closer look. And he saw that the shelf was full of all kinds of weapons, most of which were knights' spears and sabers. Little Peter looked at the shimmering metallic weapons and imagined them as they stabbed into his body, he shuddered and quickly shook his head and walked out of the place.

Henry casually threw the helmet in his hand aside, and sat down on a wooden chair and let out a comfortable sigh. Edward rolled his eyes at the sight of him, ignoring him. He led the old man and William to a large sofa, and then found a random chair and sat down.

He first looked at Eva who was standing behind the old man, and then said to the old man: "This is the environment here, there is nothing comfortable to talk about, I hope you can understand." ”

The old man shook his hand to show that he didn't care, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a few days." ”

Edward smiled bitterly and said to the old man, "Well, I think you will probably have to stay here for a long time, just tell me if you need anything." Although it is said to be the domain of the abbey, Cromwell Abbey is not here. Probably well, you'll know when you go. He didn't seem to know what to say, and in the end he simply coped with it.

When Henry heard Edward say this, he couldn't help but feel very strange. So he asked seriously: "How long will it take?"

Edward scratched his head uncertainly, frowned, and thought for a moment before replying, "It's about ten days before we ride a horse." This monk just now, if he walks back and walks back again, it may take two months. ”

Little Peter had just walked back from the weapon rack when he heard Edward's answer. He couldn't help but be surprised. He exclaimed, "It takes so long! After speaking, he looked at the old man worriedly.

Edward spread his hands helplessly and did not answer.

The old man smiled bitterly and sighed and said, "Then wait, anyway, it's been so many years, and it's not too late." ”

So the group stayed at the castle. Little Peter would come to Henry with Eva every day after finishing his studies to train in martial arts. Originally, Uncle William was in charge of this teaching, but now Uncle William was seriously injured first, although it was almost fine, but his movements were not very flexible. Secondly, Uncle William also said that Henry's martial arts were much better than his own. So the two of them had to learn military command with Uncle William every day, and they also followed Henry for martial arts training.

Henry couldn't say that he was disappointed with Peter's performance, and certainly not satisfied. However, the biggest surprise was Eva. Eva has shown a great talent in martial arts and jousting. Henry would be overjoyed every time he saw Eva perform.

It was time for Uncle William to check on both of them in their studies. He had Peter and Eva each fight on the sand table.

Uncle William watched from the sidelines. From time to time he looked at Eva nodding, but more often he watched little Peter closely. Uncle William was pleased with Little Peter's performance. Although Peter Jr. is no match for Eva in martial arts, he is much more gifted than Eva in military command and theory.

The result did not surprise him, and Peter won the race with ease. On the one hand, Eva is frustrated by her defeat, and on the other hand, she is proud of Little Peter's performance. So her expression was more like crying and laughing.

A month and a half passed like this, and just as little Peter woke up that day thinking that everything was as usual, Eva didn't bother to knock on the door and ran over.

She didn't care about anything else, and shouted directly to little Peter on the bed, "Peter, get up and see Grandpa." Grandpa doesn't seem to be feeling well, I'm afraid I'm going to die. ”

Little Peter's face turned pale, and he hurriedly got off the ground and got dressed haphazardly and ran out of the door with Eva.
