Three days later, Butlerdi and the seven Dracons left Corsica, where they were to complete the "Liberty Shines on the World", and the Liberty sailed northwest to the French mainland. On the deck, Butlerdy and Mulan were chatting, and sometimes they heard Mulan's hearty laughter like silver bells. Butlerdy is of medium stature, wears a thick hat on his head, a haughty, broad forehead, and piercing eyes with a determined gaze. He has two flat beards on his mouth, broad shoulders and strong waist, and well-developed arms. His curly black hair was scattered over his shoulders, he was over 30 years old, his skin was dark and his expression was grim. The wrinkles on his forehead were like ploughs out, and honesty, perseverance, and freedom took root in them, and he looked older than his actual age. He wore an oriental leather robe with a hood, and a pair of black trousers with large folds, the cuffs of which were tucked into leather boots, like the outfit of a seaman.

Butlerdy chatted with Tenryu over coffee: "I was born in Alsace, France, my father was a victim of tyrannical rule, and after my father's death, my mother threw herself into the first uprising against tyranny with hatred. As for me, I graduated from the École Nationale des Arts et Métiers and studied engraving and painting in Paris. At the age of 28, I left the land and wandered between the archipelagos, becoming a sailor, and because of the Lion of Balfort, my name has always been a mystery, which has made me a famous figure in the Mediterranean, and people will be in awe when they hear it. "After the Liberty anchored at the Toulon docks, almost all of the people in Toulon ran out to greet Butlerdy and waited on both sides of the road. As soon as he came ashore, there was silence around him, as if he had a great majesty that could subdue everyone.

However, Lai Riqing and Butlerdy quietly went ashore in a speedboat, avoiding the welcoming crowd, and Lai Riqing made a gesture that he did not want to be followed, and the sailors on the speedboat stopped, and they walked towards the corner deep in the harbor. After walking more than ten steps, Li Riqing turned to the old sailor and said, "Gerald, I need to add ten strong sailors. "Yes, Captain." He replied. The captain wanted to select the ten most astute and able, and they were to be brave and loyal, regardless of where they were going, what they were going to do, or what the result was, not to whom they sailed or for whom they were fighting, but to follow closely, ready to share their fate, and to live and die together for the common good. "Let these ten men go to the Liberty in two hours." The captain added, "Yes, definitely go." Gerald replied. They crept onto the circular pier at the end of the embankment, and he and Butlerdy disappeared into a narrow path. Gerald complied, returned to his accomplices, and busied himself with the selection of additional sailors.

They slowly walked up the steep slope above the town. Occasionally, dogs bark a few times, and these dogs all have big heads, large solid jaws, and are short-tempered. A few gray seagulls hovered in the air, flapping their wide wings, and then flew back to their nests on the shore. Butlerdi led Li Riqing through all the dwellings in the town of Toulon Field, and walked along a small path around the castle of Toulon for a while. They carefully bypassed the foundations of some ancient castles built on cliffs. From the horizon of the headland of Toulon Bay, the crescent moon is about to sink into the sea. A few lonely stars twinkled through the gaps in the clouds, and everything was shrouded in silence. Faintly visible sails flutter across the bay.

At the foot of the mountain, there are several flickering lights on the shore, and the sparkling water waves reflect bright spots, which are fishing fires that go out to sea at night, or the lights of folk houses. Li Riqing suddenly thought of Meng Haoran's "Night Return to Lumen Mountain Song", Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moon Night", and "Yunlian Song" composed with the four beauties on Peach Blossom Island that year. Li Riqing thought to himself as he walked: "60 million years, with a flick of my fingers, looking back, there is not even a little tingling, a nuclear war, ashes, and now the stars are moving, and things are right and wrong." "Butlerdy scanned the darkness with his eyes accustomed to night vision, and the sailor's eyes were so penetrating that they seemed to be able to see where others could not. He stood motionless with his hands folded in front of his chest, lost in thought, he was looking at himself in the dark, his hood falling from his head, his head held high, firm as a rock. But at the moment, the captain of the Liberty had no interest in exploring everything around him, he was used to seeing all kinds of scenes. After a few minutes or so, Butlerdy stared motionlessly at the east of the sea, where the water and the sky met, and then staggered a few steps towards the cliff, which were subconsciously controlled, and there was a mysterious force that guided him forward, but his gaze was as far as possible from what he had sought here.

From the headland to the end of the bay, this is a lonely, desolate place, devoid of plane trees, lemons, roses, figs, not even simple green herbs. There are rocks everywhere, and if there is a volcanic eruption in this area, all of them will immediately collapse and sink into the sea. They walked about ten paces, then stopped, and turned to the northwest, where the distant peaks of Toulon showed their outlines in the light black sky, and a few sparse stars hung in the sky, like fireflies from the old home of the day, hovering on the horizon. Butlerdy stared motionlessly at a low log cabin on the edge of the cliff a hundred paces away------ the garden was flat. It stood there in a rudimentary and dilapidated place, with only a sheep's gut path leading to it, and a thorny fence around the hut, which had fallen down, and a few small bare trees, overgrown with weeds, and the hut looked to have been abandoned for a long time. Why was this house abandoned? For its mistress had died of illness for many years, and its man had left his home to join the ranks of Mediterranean sailors, who had never returned.

This is where Butlerty lived until he was 28 years old. He was here with the mistress of the house------ Elizabeth. Taylor, who spent three years of secluded and sweet life. It was here that the Lion of Belfort was inspired. Butlerdy had never been back before, and though he had passed with the ship three times, he had never had the desire to see the humble hut on the edge of the cliff, nor to know what had become of the abandoned hut. He never mentions his lover......

When they returned to the Liberty, Gerald had ten sailors on standby. The Liberty set out overnight, headed northeast for Nice, and arrived a few days later, then they disembarked and landed, and after a few days of carriage travel, Butlerdi and Tenron saw the mysterious Mont Blanc in the distance, and finally reached Alsace. Butlerdy felt the need to see his hometown again, to set foot on the land he had first touched since he was born, and to breathe the air of his homeland again. He hesitated for a moment as he stood on the land of Alsace, his hometown was even more timid, his heart was not completely cold, and his heart was still shaken when the familiar past appeared clearly before his eyes. Butlerdy led them to the door of an abandoned house, which was dark and silent. "Come in, Butlerdy, get in!" He shouted in his heart, the fence had long been broken, and the door beams had fallen to the ground, and there was no need to push the door. He stepped over the fence and stood in front of the house, where a few embroidered household belongings hung under the rain-eroded eaves, and he touched them gently.

After a moment, he turned his head and forced himself to move his gaze resolutely to the last room, and he was secretly angry with himself, feeling a little guilty. At this time, he was a little moved and a little annoyed, and always felt that the old house was protesting against him and driving him away. He walked along the broken walls, around the moss-covered, weathered ridge, and touched the loose stone with his hand to see if the room was still alive and to hear if its heart was still beating. The courtyard wall behind it was even darker, and the moonlight couldn't reach it. Butlerdy spun around slowly, the dead silence in the darkness unsettling, as if there were ghosts or something in the room.

He returned to the front of the room, facing east, approached the door, and pushed the door to see if there was a latch on it. Just then, the "squeak, squeak......" door opened, and a woman appeared in the doorway. She wore a short black skirt with red trim, a crimson blouse, a wide brown floppy hat, and a shawl of the same color as the French flag over her shoulders. She looks cold, her big black eyes are a little wild and rough, her eyes are cold, her cheeks are ruddy, her chin is free and broad, her skin is copper, she looks like she is in her 50s, and her tall body still looks tall, this is Simone. Seguan. He felt the hot blood rush up his cheeks, and now, this mother and son, who had been separated from their souls and bodies for too long, stood face to face. Butlerdy did not expect to meet his mother here, and was startled by her appearance, surprised and delighted.

Can Simone. With his arms crossed, Seguan did not allow her son to enter the door, and shouted in a terrifying voice: "Butlerdy will never set foot in his father's house, never!" Get out of here! The son succumbed to the ban, and he slowly stepped back. The mother, who was standing in front of the door, threw him out of the house like a traitor, and he wanted to step forward, but a more resolute gesture blocked him. He turned and walked away quickly, he stepped over the fence and strode towards the path, without looking back once, as if a hand was pushing his shoulders and driving him away. Simone. Seguan stood motionless on the threshold and watched him disappear into the night. At this time, two black shadows "swished" out, one of them lit the cupola, "Juju ......" and "......Boom" Tianlong and Butlerdy listened to these two sounds, turned around and looked up, and were surprised to see a light. Butlerdy calmed down from his excitement and returned to his original appearance. The Celestial Dragon followed him for less than two miles, and a ball of fire reflected the red peak. The dictator's lackeys saw the signal from the ambushed spies and immediately surrounded Simone like zombies. Seguan and the house. When the lackeys burst into the house, Butlerdy's mother set the house on fire......

They hadn't been able to take their eyes off the burning light until they had walked five miles, and Celestial Dragon had been with him as the wind blew away the last bit of spark. The last time he saw his mother's face was seared in the deepest part of his heart, and he couldn't steal it. They keep their grief in their hearts for the time being, and the dictator's lackeys will soon be chasing after them, and they must get out of it and rush back to the port of Nice.

Along the way, the ten sailors selected by Gerald answered one by one according to the plan, like the Spartan warriors, passing the pass and cutting the "dog", and finally the remaining two sailors escorted Tianlong and Butlerdy, who were about to arrive at the port of Nice, they changed carriages to walk, Butlerdy led the way through the alleys, but they got stuck at the last pass, a team of imperial gendarmes, grinning wolfdogs surrounded them, everyone looked at the clever Brother Hugh, hoping that at this time he would draw circles on the top of his head and come up with a way, but this time he didn't.

At this time, they saw a luxurious carriage coming and stopping in front of the checkpoint, raising a cloud of dust, the gendarme stepped forward to open the door, and then stood up and saluted, a noble lady in a white tight lantern skirt and a cloak slowly settled down under the support of the maid, the noble lady lifted a thin veil, and the head of the gendarme, Beth. Kimber immediately stepped forward, knelt down on her right knee, she gently raised the noblewoman's outstretched right hand, she kissed the back of her hand, "Venerable Brooke Silk. Good evening, Miss Bonaparte. "Let them go, go back and I'll ask my brother for guilt!" "Yes." She nodded to Li Riqing, put down her veil and returned to the car. The gendarmes and the dogs made way of a passage, and Li Riqing looked back at her in the carriage as she ran, and she seemed to have grown up again, and they galloped into the harbor and boarded the ship Liberty, which set sail like a wild horse, and quickly sailed out of the channel, out of this place shrouded in white terror, and rode the wind and waves to the British Isles, to Butlerdy's cousin-in-law, Dickens......

After about a month of sailing, the Liberty finally entered the Scottish Harbour of Edinburgh. Fifteen servants, 15 coachmen, and 15 four-seater carriages were waiting for them in the VIP area of the harbour, and the servants walked all the way to Shakespeare's House in about two hours, and it was an idyllic residence in the south of Scotland, located near Elizabeth Village, overlooking the beautiful little valley in the village. The clear waves of Lake Charles bask in the stone foundations of the high walls, and the home belonged to the Dickens family long ago.

When the revolution broke out in Scotland, many tenants were driven out by the lords because they could not pay the exorbitant rent. Some starved to death, some became fishermen, some left their homes, and the whole society fell into a state of despair. Of all the nobles, only the family of Dickens believed that the righteousness of the nobility was the same as the binding of the commoners. They have always been faithful to their tenants. None of their tenants left their homeland, none of them left their homeland, and all of them continued to be subjects of the House of Dickens. Therefore, in that troubled era of grace and righteousness, and etiquette collapsed, Shakespeare's House of the Dickens family was always only lived in by Scots. These Scots were the sons and daughters of the old lords Cromwell, Madison, and Morgan's stockholders, and they were all native-born children, and they were honest and manageable men, meek and obedient subjects, and wholeheartedly loyal to their old lords.

The servants said that Sir Dickens, who was a wealthy man and had always been a squandering of wealth, was more benevolent than his generosity, and that there was a limit to generosity, and that mercy could be boundless. The "master" of Shakespeare's House, who was a gentleman of Elizabeth Village, was the patriarch of the English aristocracy and a representative of the local county. However, because of his liberal ideas, and because of his reluctance to please the dynasty of the day, he was discriminated against by the mainstream politicians who were the majority in Britain. He always carried on the tradition of his ancestors and resolutely resisted the political aggression of the English, which was the reason for his discrimination. He opened the doors of a county to all things progressive, but he was always first in Scotland at heart. At this time, Dickens was waiting for Butlerdy and his friends at the entrance of the Twin Cities at Shakespeare's house. Inevitably meet and greet one by one, Li Riqing looked at Sir in his 30s, burly, slightly fat, a little serious in appearance, but his eyes were infinitely gentle, and his whole appearance revealed the poetry of the Scottish Highlands. Riqing heard that he was very bold, daring, chivalrous, and had the demeanor of an ancient knight, and the most prominent thing was his benevolent heart, and he was eager to give all the coats and scarves he wore to the poor people of the highlands. Dickens still retains the hospitality of ancient heroes, and Li Riqing's first impression is that he is a bit like "timely rain" Song Jiang.
