readx;? Chapter 2

The calm sea is gradually shrouded in mist, revealing an eerie aura. www.biquge.info On the HMS Valiant of the British Royal Navy, Admiral Carfran Sedek poured a glass of red wine in his office and made a gentlemanly gesture to the portrait of the King on the wall, saying, "Long live the King!" and then drank the red wine in the glass, then returned to his seat and began to enjoy the fresh and delicious food. He occasionally glanced at the wall covered with medals of honor, for him, war was like a pleasure, and with victory came more benefits, but he did not know that death was looming at him.

Isabel swam out of the water to the stern of the Brave and silently climbed from the deck to avoid the guards' view and into Caffran's office.

At this time, Kavran was already in a drunken state, and the reason why he dared to drink boldly was because the Danish Navy had been completely wiped out, and there was no force here to threaten the powerful British Royal Navy. He poured a glass of wine, went to the window, and pushed open the window to admire the silent harbor in the hazy moonlight, and began to recite the words of the English poet William Wordsworth gentlemanly: "I roamed alone, like a cloud, drifting over the hills and valleys, and suddenly I saw a flock of golden daffodils blooming in spring, dancing in the breeze in the shade of the trees, by the lake." Continuous, like the stars, shining in the Milky Way. ”

Outside the door, Isabel heard Cavran reciting poetry, opened it softly, stepped inside, and closed the door with her hand.

The poetic Cavlan did not perceive the danger approaching, and he continued to recite the poem to his heart's content: "The sparkling waves are dancing, but the joy of the daffodils is better than the waves, and the company of such a happy companion ......"

Isabel suddenly picked up the recitation: "How can a poet not be satisfied with joy!"

Startled, Cavlan turned around and was horrified to see a masked woman in his office. "You...... Who are you? How did you get in?" he asked in surprise.

Isabel let out a long breath, "William Wordsworth's 'Daffodils', what a poem!"

Caffran breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you're a woman, I'm not afraid of you." ”

"Such beautiful poetry has been tarnished by you fanatic. ”

"It's just the two of us here, why are we blocking our faces? With that, Cafran put down his glass and stepped forward.

Isabel raised her alert, and as Cavlan raised her hand to remove her mask, she pulled out her dagger and slashed open Cavran's throat, only to see blood gushing down his throat before falling down with a thud, the sound he made caught the attention of the patrolmen. Several guards immediately rushed to the admiral's office and found the admiral lying in a pool of blood and the strange masked girl standing in front of the window, and they were stunned on the spot.

The patrol leader immediately drew his gun and shot Isabel in the chest, and the bullet became powerless in front of the dragon skin. Isabel did not panic, but calmly jumped out of the window. When the guards came to the window to follow her, she was long gone.

Isabel went ashore under the cover of sea fog and returned to the manor, and told Hales everything that had happened today, but Hales was not shocked, but looked very indifferent, and said: "I know everything about you." ”

"What?" Isabel looked surprised, "how do you know?"

"Because I've been secretly protecting you. ”

"You follow me. ”

"It's protection, not tracking, but you're courageous, and you're looking forward to the Ninth Defense. ”

"You have seen what happened today, I saved the Danish negotiators, tore up the agreement written by the British, and killed Carvran, and did what even the king could not do, and I can finally join the Ninth Defense. Ehrman would spread what he had seen and heard throughout the court, and the news of the murder of Caffran would soon reach the king, and soon everyone would mention the name 'Masked Girl'. ”

"What are you going to do next?"

"Go to the king and ask to join the Ninth Defense. ”

"Then you'd be stupid. ”

"Why?"

"If your fame spreads throughout the court, the king will definitely send people everywhere to look for you, and this time, you can't go to them, but let them invite you, so that you can show your value. ”

"But they don't know this place, how can they find me?"

"Don't worry, when the time comes, the Ninth Defense will rush to invite you to join. Your name will spread throughout the city of Copenhagen, the whole of the United Kingdom, and possibly across the continent. ”

"I hope it's as you expected. ”

"If you want to join the Ninth Defense, it may be difficult to create a threat to the enemy with a dagger alone, and you need a weapon that is more lethal and terrifying now. ”

"Could it be that my father has brought me a new weapon?"

"You're so clever, please come with me. Hales then opened the cabinet and pulled out a long chain-like thing with neat barbs on it.

"What is this?"

"This chainblade was found in the castle owner's armory when your father accompanied Henks to conquer the Black Crow Castle of the evil spirit bones, and it is unknown who created this weapon, and your father can only give it to you as a gift. ”

Isabel took the weapon and looked carefully at the barb on it, "The chain is very thin and tough, the barb on it can firmly entangle the human body, and can easily cut through the muscles and bones of people, the person who built it must be a murderer, such a strange and cruel weapon can also be imagined, it is really ingenious." ”

"Now, it's yours. ”

"I just have to roll it up and hide it in my fur coat, so that others will not see it at all, and when I use it, I can take it out at any time, so that the enemy will not be able to guard against it. ”

"It seems that you like it very much, and your father really gave it to the right person. ”

"If one day, I go on a mission for the Ninth National Defense, I can take it with me. ”

"It's great, but it's the age of firearms, you can't just rely on these cold weapons, you'd better have a decent pistol. ”

"It would be nice if Lahagrid was here, he could make any weapon I wanted. ”

"Even if he is here, there are not enough people, spaceships, da Vinci chariots, these things need manpower and material resources. ”

"Why don't I write to my mother tomorrow and ask her to send Lahague over?"

"Your mother wouldn't have said yes, she knew you had brought Lahagrid back to make more weapons. Even if your mother agrees that he will come to your aid, don't let him come, because what if your mother needs him and he is not around?"

"You've thought it through. ”

"I'm a big-picture person, and I hope you understand. ”

"You get busy first, I'll try the power of this chain blade first. ”

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Isabel went to the warehouse, lit candles, and found some dummies, and tried to attack them with a chainblade, she threw the chainblade out, wrapped it around the dummy's neck, and pulled it hard, and the sharp hook stabbed the dummy's head off like a knife. She tried to attack the dummy's arm again, but the dummy's arm was also entangled and cut off. Then, with a swing of the chainblade, she began to whip at the objects around her, which were vulnerable to the devastating chainblades, and the dummies were destroyed beyond recognition, and if they were real people, they would surely be turned into a corpse covered in rotten flesh. In the process of practicing, she will inevitably make some mistakes, causing the chain blade to draw on her body, if it weren't for the dragon fur coat to protect her, she would have been bruised all over her body.

Although she was not very familiar with the rules and methods of using this terrifying cold weapon, she never stopped practicing. She knew that the dragon skin suit played a protective role for her, and in the process of practicing, she would only make herself slack, not fundamentally improve, so she took off the dragon skin suit and began to increase the difficulty of her practice, and also narrowed the space for practice, and drew a certain area for herself.

During the practice, due to some mistakes in the details, her arms, back, neck, and her beautiful face all developed wounds, and because the wounds were bleeding too much, she drank the blood of the rats that had lived there for a long time to repair the wounds. It was a long night, and she practiced the chain in the warehouse tirelessly, as addicted to marijuana as a drug addict.

After repeated mistakes and corrections, she no longer has the wounds caused by mistakes. After a night of trials, she figured out the rules of the chain blade and learned how to control the strength and distance. She knows that the chain blade is just a weapon, and her heart and body are the fundamental source of strength.

When dawn came, Hales arrived at the warehouse, where he saw Isabel sitting calmly in an old chair sipping wine, and when he saw the scratches on the walls of the warehouse and the mutilated shapeless dummies, he realized that Isabel had worked hard all night on the chain.

"Let's have a drink. Isabel said.

Hales walked over to the table, took out a bounty and gave it to her, and said, "No, it will be dawn in a moment." I've got a bounty order here that I posted last night, and I dare say it was posted by the British, and see if it's you?"

She took the bounty order and quickly read the content on it, but she didn't expect it to be her, she jumped up excitedly on the spot, "This is posted by the British, I didn't expect them to draw me too ugly." ”

"That's because you're wearing a mask, and many British soldiers have seen you, and you've assassinated the British Royal Admiral, and the British won't give up, and you're afraid you'll become a public enemy of all Britain. ”

"Wouldn't that be better? I'm going to make Britain, the most powerful colonial power in the world, fearful, and I'm going to be their nightmare. ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will ask the Danish royal family to issue the same bounty order as them to arrest you?"

"I am a hero of the nation, and I have killed the invaders, and if the king had been wise, he would not have agreed to the invaders, am I right, Hales? ”

"Your fame has spread among the British. ”

"Soon it will spread to the Danish royal family. If the king really wants to invite me, in what way?"

"It's hard to say. I won't tell you, I have to go and rest. ”

"Good dreams. ”

After Hales left, Isabel found an old coffin in a corner of the warehouse and lay down in it.

During this season, the daylight hours are short, and for the Bloodline, there are only three or four hours of sleep. Despite this, the Bloods were able to maintain their energy and wake up immediately after sunset.

In recent days, the story of the masked girl has spread in the city, making it even more difficult for many British ** officials to sleep, for fear that they will lose their lives like Cavlan while sleeping. The biggest news in Copenhagen was the assassination of British General Kavlan Sedek by Kafrole. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Danish people, because the masked girl is also the only one who can make the British people fearful. The king tried to find the real masked girl, so he sent the Ninth Defense to investigate her whereabouts in the hope of finding her.

The king's search for the masked girl was soon found out by Isabelle, so she planned to take matters into her own hands to see if the king wanted to invite her or arrest her.

One night, Isabel, heavily armed, came to a forest near the palace, and she climbed a tree to quietly observe the movement in the palace. However, after more than an hour, there was no one at the gate of the palace except a few guards standing guard. Could it be that the king didn't care about the masked girl's assassination of the British general?

Suddenly, a flame lit up in the woodland not far away, like a bonfire. She suddenly raised her guard as she boldly followed the direction of the flames. As she got closer to the campfire, she saw several other campfires and tents. This proved that it was a camp, with at least two hundred people. So she immediately climbed up the tree and peeked into the canopy of the camp. When she looked closely, she saw that the camp was full of well-armed British soldiers, and there were several cannons, but they were not British.

One of the officers also put on a pretentious appearance and said to the soldiers: "Tonight, we will raid the palace, capture the King of Denmark alive, and force him to send troops in the name of England to unite with us against Napoleon." Now, the Major has something to say to everyone. ”

Then the major stepped out of the tent and said to the soldiers: "You are the elite of the empire, the heroes of the people of Great Britain. Tonight, you will prove yourselves and your name will spread throughout Europe. Admiral Sedek must have been assassinated here by the Danes, and tonight, we are going to make their king pay. I am the supreme commander here, and I am honored to lead you on such an important mission, proving that your time has come. Long live King George!"

The soldiers likewise shouted, "Long live King George!"

"Okay, let's go. ”

Isabel, who had been peeking at the canopy for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and if these Englishmen attacked the palace under her nose, I am afraid that God would not forgive her. So she jumped down and wrapped her chain blade around the neck of the British major. Now, with a slight tug, the Major would fall to the ground. The Major's neck was strangled tightly by the chain blade, and he couldn't speak at all, only a silk **. However, the British soldiers did not panic because of this.

Puzzled by this, Isabel asked, "Don't you want to assassinate our king? ”

Seeing that the major was about to fall to the ground, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop." ”

I saw two people come out of the tent, one wearing a cloak and a hood. The other, Isabel had seen, and it was the same general she had seen at the gate when she wanted to go into the palace to meet the king the other day. This made her even more puzzled, how could the Danish general appear in the camp of the British army, could he have taken root with the British?

At this point, the man in the cloak slowly lifted his hood, revealing his face. Isabel was stunned on the spot, and although she was wearing a mask, everyone could still feel her surprised expression. She immediately wrapped the chain blade around the Major's neck and bowed to the cloaked man: "See Your Majesty!" Although she had no friendship with the King, at least she knew the King.

The general said to the king, "Your Majesty, it seems that what Ehrman said is true. She was the one who tore up the agreement and assassinated the British general. A few days ago, she was the same one who blew up the British ship, and it can be seen that she was completely in the service of His Majesty the King. ”

The king got Isabel to her feet and asked her, "What is your name?"

She replied, "Isabel." ”

"Good name, Isabel, then I'll take a step to speak. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, perhaps you should send more guards with you. The general said.

The king smiled faintly, "No need. ”

Isabel followed the king to a secluded bush not far from the camp, and the king might have asked her for help on something very important, and the king said: "These soldiers are my men, and I have made them disguise themselves as English soldiers, and if I do not do this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to find you, and your heroic performance is enough to prove your loyalty to me." A lot of people like to call you a masked girl, even the British say that, right?"

Isabel nodded.

The king continued: "You know the present form, I thought that Napoleon would quickly defeat the British, but I did not expect that the British would come so quickly, and my former mighty navy would be wiped out in an instant. I suppose the British have already begun to draw up treaties that are unequal to us, and if I bear with them, the British will think that I am a coward, and my people will think the same. If I go to war against the British, and I am not their opponent, I will only bring misery to the people. Now, the country needs people like you to stand up, and the people need it even more. ”

"Your Majesty, I know that you are a good king, but you must face the fact that the question now is not how to make peace with the British, but how to drive them out. It depends on what you think, Your Majesty, although I don't know Your Majesty's character, but I know that the character of a king is directly related to the character of a country. ”

"What do you think of my character?"

"Of course you want to drive the invaders out of the country, if I guess correctly, there must be some lords and factions within the court, they want to negotiate peace with the British, and in the present form, if you take the initiative to ask the British for peace talks, it will be tantamount to ......"

"What is that? It's been a long time since I've heard anyone tell me the truth. The king couldn't wait to hear her tell the truth

"It's tantamount to giving in to the British. ”

The king fell silent for a moment, and after about a minute, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly said, "Isabel, from now on, I will let you join the Ninth Defense. ”

Isabel was stunned for a moment. In fact, she also dreamed of joining the Ninth National Defense, and in order to raise her value, she did not immediately agree, but said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on this great responsibility." ”

"Whatever you did wrong, I can forgive you. ”

"I am honored that Your Majesty can think of me. Ninth, there are so many talented people in the National Defense that I can go wherever I want?"

"Do you think it's easy to be a king? When I found out that you had killed Caffran, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I tried to see you. In order to see you, I did not hesitate to waste my time, risking my life, to pretend to be an Englishman who attacked the palace at night, and to lead you to appear, so that I could invite you to join the Ninth Defense and fight against the invaders for our country. The British are here today, and who knows if the French and Dutch will come again tomorrow? Therefore, I am in urgent need of a spy organization that can scare away foreign enemies to strengthen ourselves and defend the country, and since I have seen you, it proves that it is God's arrangement, please join the Ninth National Defense for God's sake, and fight against foreign enemies together with the elites of the country!"

The king had said this, and if Isabel refused or put on a show, it would really be ignorant of it, and in the face of the king's sincere request, she finally agreed: "Since Your Majesty looks up to me like this, it is really the greatest honor of my life, then I can only obey the order." ”

The king smiled again, "Can you take off your mask and show me?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was disfigured when I was a child, so my appearance is extremely ugly, for fear of frightening Your Majesty, please allow Your Majesty not to take off my mask. ”

The king thought for a moment, "Okay, you can not take off the mask. Now, you are the person of the Ninth National Defense, please enter the palace with me immediately, and I will arrange the next things for you. ”

"Yes. (To be continued.) )
