Chapter Ninety-Two: The Army of Sasili

Arthur came to his senses, then nodded at Char.

He may not be able to understand the meaning of this yet, but Char's words today will be deeply engraved in his mind, and in the future, he will finally understand it in practice.

"Okay, change your clothes, then finish lunch, and we'll go out to practice swords in the afternoon." Char spoke.

Arthur's eyes lit up, and then he said excitedly.

"Yes!"

With that, he ran upstairs to change out of his pajamas.

Char silently lifted the teapot in front of him and poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured a cup of tea for Alicia and Isabel respectively.

Isabel came back to her senses and looked at Char and said with a smile, "You are unexpectedly suitable for teaching children, have you been very experienced before?" ”

"Sort of." Char said.

"But weren't you teaching that kid magic before, how did you start teaching swordsmanship now?" Isabel said confusedly.

"My swordsmanship is better than my magic." Char raised her eyebrows.

Isabel couldn't help but laugh, obviously not believing Char's claim.

Char is a wizard, swordsmanship is stronger than magic?

There's nothing funnier than that.

Alicia remained silent, and after knowing Arthur's identity, she knew why Char had taught him swordsmanship, so that he could use the magical sword in the stone.

She got up from the couch and thought about going to make lunch first, but it was a little abrupt, frowning slightly, and taking a breath.

"What's wrong?"

Isabel, who was sitting beside her, obviously noticed Alicia's strange appearance, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, maybe it's a little uncomfortable." Alicia slowly sat back on the couch, "Just take a break." ”

"I'll cook." Char got up and picked up an apron hanging on one side of the staircase, "Idle is idle anyway." ”

Isabel's eyes lit up and she continued.

"I'm going to eat that potato beef stew I made yesterday!"

"No problem."

For the next few days, Char continued to teach Arthur's swordsmanship.

After being given the fate of King Arthur, his talent for swordsmanship was much stronger than his talent for magic, and in a few days he learned how to use magic to use swordsmanship.

The castle didn't go anywhere these days, but docked in the depths of the Isle of Skye, where there is a natural waterfall.

Meltwater from the snow-capped mountains converges into a stream that falls in a place with a large difference in elevation, washing out a circular pool.

The water is crystal clear, the waterfall is wide and high-impact, and the clouds formed by the splash are also very interesting.

Surrounded by low mountain ranges, there are faint clouds and mist, and in such an environment, people will be more concentrated in practicing swords.

They have a long time, and they don't have to run around for a living for the time being, so they don't have to travel around the world in a hurry like punching in, and it is also a pleasure to lazily enjoy the passage of time.

However, because of sword practice, Arthur's food became larger and larger, and within a few days, the family's meat reserves were exhausted.

So Char had no choice but to go out with Alicia to Sasilia to buy beef.

Char recently dug an ice cellar under the villa in order to make ice cubes for cocktails, using magic to maintain the temperature, with Cassifer providing magic.

Of course, the ice cellar doesn't need to be maintained all the time, because there is a certain amount of heat preservation in the ground itself, so Alicia also uses the place as a refrigerator.

In this case, it is better to buy a large amount of meat and vegetables at one time than to go out and buy vegetables every day.

To be honest, Char originally thought that the meat in the ice cellar would be eaten by the lion, but he didn't expect it to be eaten by Arthur.

Alicia had already spent the money she had spent to sell the brooch, after all, she had bought an entire store in the imperial capital and bought a bunch of expensive furniture, so the money was spent quickly.

But although the tavern has only been open for less than a month, it actually makes a lot of money, after all, the wine brewed by Bacchus is basically a monopoly industry.

Some aristocrats would sometimes order large quantities of unblended wines from taverns.

Char sold many batches in the spirit of not making money in vain, and just these investments in this tavern were actually recovered.

In addition, Char had many aristocratic widows who had their dead husbands when they were bartending would give him a lot of jewelry, as well as some valuable works of art.

Occasionally, Char really can't shirk it, and Char will collect some, and the money from the sale of that ruby alone is enough for a family of three to eat for several years.

It was also at that time that Char had a clearer understanding of the gap between the rich and the poor in this country.

Enough gems for a wealthy family of three to eat for several years, and people give them away as tips.

Alicia went out this time to buy two whole cows that had been killed at once, and she couldn't bring them back alone, so she brought Char with her.

Open the door to Sasili, the rich fragrance of flowers comes to your nose, the red, white, blue-green, colorful flowers are also imprinted, every time you open the door of Sasili, see this scene, no matter what mood you have to open it, it will turn into happiness.

It's only halfway through spring, and the flowers here will bloom for a long time.

Alicia has been taking care of the garden all these days when the sky is free, so the flowers are blooming beautifully.

There are so many flowers here that even though Alicia comes here every day to cut some flowers for flower arrangement, she still can't see any change.

Char felt that the owner of this yard should have been a flower shop in the past, otherwise he would not have raised so many rare and beautiful ornamental flowers.

Walking out of the garden and stepping on the bluestone paved path, compared to the increasingly strong smell of soot in the imperial capital, the air in the countryside is fresher, and there is a faint bitter smell of grass and trees in the air.

Alicia put her hands behind her back and stepped forward one stone step at a time, she was in a happy mood, or rather, this was the first time she had gone out shopping with Char, there were so many people in the castle, it was a very rare time to be alone.

The house is not far from the town, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to the neighborhood, which is different from when Char first came.

The streets are deserted, with only a few locals walking around.

After the war began, trade to and from here basically stopped, and there were fewer outsiders, so it was naturally deserted.

However, to Char's surprise and Alicia's.

They even saw West Français soldiers patrolling the streets in the streets, armed with guns and heavy marching backpacks on their backs.

Seeing these people, Alicia's originally happy mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She approached Char, took his arm, and pulled her hat, trying not to look at the soldiers.

That's how they rubbed shoulders with these soldiers.

They hadn't bothered with news of Britannia these days, and they hadn't been to Sasili for a while, but the occupation of the place by the West French Empire was surprising but also reasonable.

The proximity to the Mediterranean Sea means that it is close to West France.

Britannia is not really good at naval warfare, they are not a sea power.

The Celts were nomadic peoples, and they were more adept at horse warfare, which is why they were able to conquer such a large land.

The plains of North America are big enough for them to play to their heart's content.

But Sahili was different, it was surrounded by mountains, the cavalry could not enter, and the only entrance was the fjord, which was difficult to fight back once it was taken by the enemy.

Britannia is too big to defend.

The town was occupied by enemy troops, and the shops on the streets were apparently not in the mood to open their doors, and all the doors were locked.

The few shops that opened here and there were also some taverns, which were full of West Francois soldiers, and Char felt that they should have been forced to open.

"The cruelty of war, I feel it now." Char teased.

Alicia didn't speak, but followed Char on, and they came to the fjord.

The most eye-catching thing is that the few warships that are now docked at the harbor with the flag of the West Francis Empire are much smaller than the one that was docked in Eagle Point Town, but the rows of warships are still very oppressive.

They stopped in front of a wooden house on the edge of the fjord.

It was a two-storey cottage with a nice red paint on the outside, and it looked like a breakfast shop, and on one side of the courtyard near the fjord was a lot of white tables and chairs, so you could enjoy breakfast while enjoying the beautiful view of the fjord.

Char stood at the doorway of the entrance door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He looked up at the second-floor window and shouted into it.

"It's me, Hart!"

After a few minutes, the door in front of him slowly opened, and Hart stood behind it, but at this moment he was more haggard than the previous one, and he didn't seem to be resting very well.

But when he saw Char, he was still very happy.

"Mr. Xia."

He took a step back and said enthusiastically.

"Come in and sit down."

Char walked into the house with Alicia.

The décor is very simple, similar to Char's original house, with a fireplace and a table for eating, but much cleaner.

However, this is due to the fact that a large part of the first floor is occupied by breakfast shops, and the second floor should have a larger living area.

At the top of the staircase stood a red-haired woman, who looked to be in her mid-thirties, with freckles on her face, and a boy who looked about Arthur's age stood beside her.

They were all looking at Char and Alicia curiously.

"They are my wife and son."

As he spoke, Hart looked up at the red-haired woman on the stairs.

"Dasha, this is the Mr. Xia I told you, go make two cups of coffee."

Hart seems to have mentioned Char to her wife, and when she heard this, Dasha hurriedly walked down the stairs to make a fire and prepare hot water.

"Don't be that troublesome." Char waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to ask about some information." ”

"Yes, yes." Hart laughed, "What do you ask?" ”

"Sasili, how did you get occupied by West Francis?" Alicia asked concernedly.

There is only one fjord at the entrance to Sasili, which is not large enough to enter a large number of ships at the same time, and is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even if the Britanians are not good at naval warfare, as long as they want to defend, they should not fall so quickly.
