The carriage was still jolting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Chao, who was immersed in the information, did not deliberately pay attention to the passage of time, and it was not until the carriage became darker and darker, and the carriage was moving slower and slower, that he finally stopped, and he took his eyes back from the heavy information in front of him.

Then he looked up, and as expected, old Vernon had already appeared in front of him at the right time, saying that he was passing through Greentown, and the knights needed supplies, so they paused.

Qin Chao nodded and didn't speak, he just rubbed his slightly swollen temples, then reached out and pushed open the window next to the desk and looked out.

The sky was almost gray, Qin Chao watched the knights beside the carriage unload their armor in an orderly manner, prepare the horse's feed, and do a temporary rest, he couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart: he read a lot of information, and naturally knew more about this world, at this time he actually already knew that strictly speaking, he was not a real knight of Alfred, just take the strongest knight vice captain Philip, he has a level 4 fighting strength, but according to the minimum standard of becoming a knight, only after having a level 5 fighting spirit can he be qualified to choose to become a knight of the sword, or a knight of a spear, or a knight of a bow, and that's just the basics.

So, to put it bluntly, these knights of Alfred were just reluctantly replaced after Alfred's real knights were seriously damaged.

Subsequently, the Qin Dynasty put its eyes on the town of Green, which is not far away, saying that it is a town, but it is more appropriate to say that a small village comes, there are no city walls, and there is no lively crowd, the only thing that the Qin Dynasty can see is the stone houses that are smoking, which even makes the Qin Dynasty have an absurd illusion that he has returned to the primitive tribe for a moment.

"My lord, is it necessary to inform Baron Marshall of Green Town?" Old Vernon's words made Qin Chao retract his gaze, he looked at Old Vernon's still calm expression, and was a little curious why the old butler, who had never made such a suggestion along the way, would look at this Baron Marshall differently.

As if to see his doubts, old Vernon quickly added: "The title of Baron Leo Marshall, the current lord of Greentown, is to inherit the title of his brother Feders-Marshall, and Baron Feders-Marshall was one of the masterminds who participated in the instigation of the unrest of Alfred's people a month ago, and he was finally hanged by order of the young lady. ”

Qin Chao frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he understood that old Vernon meant to let him appease the newly appointed Baron Marshall, but the question was, was his appeasement useful? Qin Chao unconsciously tapped the fingers of his right hand on the desk, like playing a piano, but did not make any sound.

In the end, he shook his head and rejected Old Vernon's suggestion, saying, "There is no need and no point, think about it, if Alfred must eventually perish in the current of the Lich, is it necessary to appease him?

Old Vernon didn't understand what he meant at first, but when he met Qin Chao's deep eyes, he quickly understood.

Yes, no matter how many nobles in Alfred's territory have thoughts that should not be generated, they are also Alfred's people after all, in the current trend of the lich, they can only be in the same boat with Alfred, at this time, even if some of them try to defect to Alfred, presumably no family in the wasteland will accept or dare to accept it, then coupled with the world of nobles, defection is a taboo in itself, the Qin Dynasty naturally has no need to deliberately appease anyone, they can only either finish with Alfred in the trend of the lich, or wait for Alfred to finish, and then they can choose to join other families.

By the same token, if Alfred survived this lich trend, even if there was no need for the Qin Dynasty to appease him, these nobles who were attached to Alfred would surely rush to show Alfred their loyalty.

Thinking of this, Old Vernon's eyes when he looked at Qin Chao became complicated, as if he saw the shadow of Lord Earl in him, a young adult.

Qin Chao didn't care about the exclamation in Old Vernon's eyes, he then changed the topic and asked how long it would take to get from Green Town to Sauron City under normal circumstances, Old Vernon didn't hesitate too much, and bent slightly to reply, 4 days.

4 days.

This time is obviously too long for the Qin Dynasty, he was like this in his previous life, what he didn't want to do, even if he did it reluctantly, it might be simple or perfunctory, but once he decided to do it, then he would definitely do his best to do his best. Therefore, since it has been decided that Elizabeth will not be left alone to bear everything that should be his responsibility, considering that Elizabeth has been gone for 3 days, and the Sauron Council is likely to start in these 2 days, he will certainly not allow him to rush to Sauron City when everything is over.

Therefore, he frowned slightly, as if asking but his tone was extremely firm, and said, "But we should only have 2 days." ”

This means working day and night.

Old Vernon sighed softly, of course he knew that Miss Elizabeth, who was alone in Sauron City at this time, was the time when they were needed the most, but at the same time, he had to worry about whether the adult had just woken up, and whether his body could withstand the fatigue of running around like this, so looking at the Qin Dynasty, Old Vernon would inevitably show worry and concern.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, he knew his identity very well, he was Alfred's butler, and all he needed to do was to meticulously complete every instruction of the adult, instead of trying to get the adult to change his decision.

"I'll go and tell the knights to make supplies. ”

......

After about 1 hour of rest, the carriage continued on its way.

Along the way, except for the conceptual problems encountered when reading the materials and needed to consult the old Vernon, the Qin Dynasty never spoke again, he just buried himself in all the materials collected by Alfred, tirelessly understanding each of his enemies, and also deeply understanding this fantasy world.

It is undeniable that there are many ideas or things that are difficult for the Qin Dynasty to understand for a while, but the Qin Dynasty, who did not have time to understand in detail, directly chose a tough posture, and blatantly stuffed all the information that he could understand or half-understood in his mind, whether it was the information of all the families in the wasteland, or the recent movements of the empire on the other side of the mountain, and the connection between the wasteland and the empire, the Qin Dynasty spent two days and one night to read all the materials in the three drawers.

He then folded the materials back in the drawer and closed his eyes in his wheelchair.

Of course, it's not that he's tired of watching it for too long, he's just trying to sort out and integrate all this information in a world that absolutely belongs to him.

He carefully connected every information that could be linked together, and deliberately memorized all the information that could be used by him, and in the meantime, he did not think about how the information that could be used by him might affect him Alfred, in his opinion, even if the impact of some information was negative, it would definitely not make his Alfred's situation worse, so he was unscrupulous.

Early morning of the 3rd day.

When the huge outline of Sauron City could already be faintly seen through the mist under the moonlight, and the old Vernon in the carriage also happened to be looking at his lord, Qin Chao finally opened his eyes at this time.

At that moment, it was clear that it was still his young master and his lord in front of him, but old Vernon just felt stunned, and then when he gradually calmed down, he suddenly realized that since then, his adult body has no longer had the initial dazedness, the later despair, and the anxiety of these days;

This even gave old Vernon the illusion that he was more than willing to believe that his young Lord Earl was really capable of working miracles.

"Tell him to go down and pause his journey. ”

Qin Dynasty's abrupt order made old Vernon a little strange, but he still turned around and pushed the car door and ordered the knight who followed the carriage, and then he returned to the carriage, and saw that Qin Dynasty drove the wheelchair as if he had the intention of leaving the carriage, old Vernon hurriedly stepped forward and asked his adult, he first put the wheelchair down the carriage, and wrapped a thick fluffy cloak for Qin Dynasty, and then helped Qin Dynasty also get out of the carriage and sit back in the wheelchair.

The abandoned wasteland in winter was extremely cold, and he suddenly left the warm carriage, the cold air almost choked the Qin Dynasty and at the same time made the fatigue of the Qin Dynasty disappear in an instant, he suddenly woke up, looked up at the knights who were consciously standing together because of his appearance, he thought about the cold of the days and nights, and the knights did not have any time to rest at all, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, therefore, facing the solemn eyes of the knights, he tried to smile, and let old Vernon push him in front of the knights, he first looked at his knights one by one, and then smiled: "I beg your pardon for not being able to stand up and pay you my sincerest respects. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, how could the knights, who had already dedicated their whole life to Alfred, think that their lord, their master, would be able to say such a sentence?

They looked at each other, but still stood straight, and no one made a sound.

"I do not deny that Alfred is in unprecedented danger at this time, nor do I deny that it is quite possible that after this winter there will be no more Alfred, and I know that you know and I know that you are ready to perish with Alfred at this time, and I am grateful for that. ”

Under the bright and cold moonlight, Qin Chao, who was wrapped in a silver-white velvet coat, didn't know that his injuries had not healed and he was tired again, nor did he know that it was because of the influence of the moonlight, his face was extremely pale, and what he said at this time actually had a sense of despair and unwillingness, he pursed his lips tightly, his voice was not high but especially resolute: " But what I want to tell you is that, yes, Alfred is indeed in an unprecedented crisis, but he is not dead yet, yes, the surname Alfred is indeed about to disappear, but it is not gone after all, and this means that even if we are in a desperate situation, we are not necessarily hopeless! In the Holy See's 'Mass', the Lord said that when he has cast a net of heaven and earth, he will also leave a side for hope, that is, what we have to do now is to find the side that has no net, and then be born again!"

There is still no sound, even if it is a knight who is not a knight, at least knightly quality, these knights of Alfred obviously have it.

He finally gazed deeply at his knight and said earnestly: "Believe that if you die, then Alfred will certainly not live, and if Alfred does not perish, then glory will stay with you forever!"

There was silence, and no one seemed to feel the sound of breathing here.

Then Philip, the vice captain of the Knights, took the lead in shouting: "Glory is long!"

"Glory is with you!"

The low and resolute slogans of the knights were unusually clear in this cold wasteland.

Qin Chao didn't say anything more, looking at the knight in front of him, and he finally fixed his gaze on Philip's face. At the opposite end of the impression of the handsome and dignified knight image, Philip, who was holding a giant sword, had a beard on his face, and he was completely rough and unkempt, he said: "Philip, you have to work hard for two days next, rush back to Alfred's castle overnight, you can only rest for one day in the castle, and then I need you to be in a group of 3, divided into 4 groups, to infiltrate the Lich border, I want to grasp the movements of the Lich, and if you find anything, you must let me know as soon as possible." During this period, remember that staying alive is also your greatest task. ”

After a pause, as if he knew what Philip was going to say, Qin Chao added: "You don't need to keep anyone by my side, you must know that Captain Katieani and Elizabeth are waiting for me in Sauron City ahead." ”

"Obey you, my lord. ”

Without further hesitation, Philip barely rested, then turned and beckoned the knights to mount their horses again and continue on their way.

In the cold wind, under the moonlight, watching his knights get on their horses and leave, Qin Chao gradually narrowed his eyes, of course he didn't think that his words could play a big role, in fact, he also knew that even if he didn't say a word, these Alfred's knights would inevitably swear allegiance and follow closely. And this, in fact, is also his greatest hope for survival in a desperate situation.

The horse's hooves drifted away.

Instead of following his old butler's advice to return to the carriage, the Qin Dynasty refused to allow the old butler to push the wheelchair for him, and he drove the wheelchair alone in the direction of Sauron City.

Then, walking a distance of about a few hundred steps, he stopped to drive his wheelchair and looked at the towering walls of Sauron not far away, and he felt that the whole world was under his eyes.

He quietly narrowed his eyes and muttered, "From today onwards, there will be no more Qin Dynasty in the world. Yes, it's just Alfred's heir, Alfred's helmsman, Augustus-Alfred. ”
