"It seems that both the West French army and the Sarsilian have been quiet these days."

In the evening, Char and the others sat at the table and ate dinner as usual, and Char still made dinner.

Because in the past few days, their beef has basically been bought from the imperial capital, and the beef of the imperial capital and the beef of Sasili are really the same heaven and earth.

Cooking like the old way is obviously not suitable, and if you use Chinese cooking, even if the quality of beef is not so good, it can still be delicious.

But to be honest, Char has some of a craving for pork.

Britannia's pork is basically sold for the rest, such as ham and sausages and bacon.

There are very few shops that sell raw pork directly, and even if it has a bad smell, it is very strong.

They haven't been out of Sasili much these days.

The national sentiment of the Sahili grew stronger and stronger, and it developed to attack almost every stranger they met.

Like them, they can't be attacked when they go out.

"The West Farish army in the town is waiting." Char said.

Alicia seemed to have something in mind, "Are they waiting for a big force?" ”

"Pretty much." Char nodded, "When the big army comes, everything can be solved, and there is no need for them to waste with the Sahirians." ”

Isabel wiped her paws and face with a tablecloth and said, "If the large army of West Farland is really allowed to arrive, then Sahili will basically have no chance." ”

"So the Sasili are also preparing for a decisive battle." Char's eyes lit up, "It's going to be the calm before the storm, and it may come to fruition tonight." ”

"It's war again." Cassifer in the hearth swayed, "It's really annoying, wouldn't it be nice to be peaceful?" ”

Char shrugged his shoulders, "It's also something that can't be helped, this is the case in this era now, and it will be encountered in the future." ”

"Teacher."

Arthur at the dinner table suddenly spoke.

"Can I go and help?"

Char raised her eyebrows, a smile appeared on her face, and said patiently, "I know you are eager to participate in this wave and change something, but you can't do it now." ”

"I think I'm strong now!" Arthur said unconvinced.

Char nodded undeniably, "I don't deny this. However, the strength of the body does not mean the strength of your heart. ”

He stared at Arthur, "You didn't sleep well all the nights you just moved to, and you said that as soon as you close your eyes, you can remember everything that happened in Eagle Point.

It was my magic potion that kept you asleep.

So, if you were to be there again on the night of the bombing of Eagle Point, and you were to see that scene again, would you still be able to sleep peacefully? ”

Arthur didn't speak, but Char's words continued.

"Remember the sound of artillery fire?

Remember the sound of bones shattering?

Do you remember the smell of burnt flesh at the beginning?

Or maybe you see those kind people buried alive in collapsed houses, scribbling the walls with pieces of flesh? ”

Arthur's face gradually turned pale with Char's words, and he seemed to remember something, shuddered and closed his eyes, covered his ears, shook his head and shouted.

"Say no more!"

Sonny, who was sitting by the fire and roasting the fire, seemed to sense Arthur's emotions, and bared his teeth slightly at Char, making a warning gesture.

Char didn't care about this, he leaned back in his chair and whispered.

"The sleep potion is in the second drawer of my tool desk, you can go and get it whenever you want."

Arthur jumped out of his chair and ran upstairs without looking back, the sound of hurried footsteps coming out of the stairs with a clang.

"He's only a teenager." Alicia said helplessly, "You don't have to be in such a hurry. ”

"I'm not in a hurry." Char said quietly, "It's because he's in a hurry." ”

After a pause, he said, "But war never waits for anyone to get used to it. ”

Char slowly got up from her seat, "I'm going to take a bath." ”

He looked at Alicia, "Do you want to be together?" ”

"Ahem!"

Alicia coughed twice in surprise, and she subconsciously looked at Isabel, her snow-white face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She looked at Char and said angrily.

"What are you talking about?"

Char said with an innocent face, "I just asked if you want to go to the hot spring pool together, there are two pools separated there, isn't it?" ”

Isabel looked at Char and then at Alicia, she hadn't been to the thermal pools because they were too deep for her.

But that didn't stop her from teasing Alicia.

"Where do you think of it?"

"I think so."

Alicia said, she got up from her position and made herself as natural as possible, "It just so happens that I want to take a dip too, wait for me." ”

She walked to the door to the bathroom, and walked out with a small wooden basin.

"Let's go."

They opened the door to Sahiri, walked through the garden with the scent of flowers, walked through the peach grove with the petals on the ground, walked up to the thermal pool, and entered the thermal pool as before.

Compared to the first time she soaked in this pool together, Alicia's mood is much lighter now, and she doesn't have the discomfort she had before, but sometimes some images of that night will inevitably flash in her mind.

The room was dim at the time, and Alicia didn't actually see anything, more of a feeling.

Not from the body, but from the soul, it is the ultimate joy that blooms in life in the union of spirit and flesh with the beloved, as if this journey is just waiting for that moment to come.

That was also the first time that Alicia knew that there was such a beautiful thing in this world.

But they haven't been since.

She was actually glad, after all, it was an impulsive act under ignorance at that time, and she was not used to being honest with people, but she was a little annoyed, was she really so unattractive?

Today's weather is very good, cloudless, and the starry sky is like a veil, densely inlaid with diamonds, sprinkled with diamond powder, and spread in the air.

The moon hung in the treetops, and the quiet moonlight shone on the ground, and from here, the outline of the distant town could be seen.

Alicia turned her head to look at the plank through her vision, as if trying to see the person behind her.

But at this moment, Char's voice came.

"Alicia, didn't you go to the library a few days ago to look up Sasili's materials, did you find anything?"

Alicia thought for a moment, and then said: "The more detailed information, it is estimated that only Sasiri has it. ”

After a pause, she said, "But I've found something in the Empire's maritime records.

The town was first discovered by the Britannica, when the Ketters already lived here, living on farming and grazing, and cooperating with each other, but due to the limited cultivation area, it was necessary for the patriarch to distribute resources uniformly.

At that time, the people here were very simple, and the British Duke was very warmly welcomed, and later it became a temporary base for the British Duke to colonize the New World.

Later, after the death of the Duke of Britain, the successive emperors did not care about this humble town.

But they still relied on their own strength to trade with Europe.

However, at that time, there were many pirates in the Mediterranean, merchant ships were often robbed, and even for a while, the town was directly occupied by pirates and used as a pirate stronghold.

The people here are oppressed to do hard labor and live a life without dignity.

But then, the people here banded together and drove the pirates out again. ”

Char smiled, "There is a precedent, since then, the people here have begun to fight against those robbers, and this spirit of resistance has also started from that time."

In other words, they awakened the martial spirit of their ancestors who were not afraid of death. ”

"It's all about living." Alicia said.

Char nodded, he looked at the town in the distance, his eyes flashed, "Do you think that this time, they can drive the robbers out again?" ”

Alicia seemed to realize something, and she tried to keep her eyes open and look at the town in the distance.

If it was daytime, it might be clearer, but the light pollution in this era was not so bad, and you could see nothing except some firelight.

"Are they getting moving?"

In her ears, there was the sound of water, and under the flow of water, Alicia felt a figure appear behind her.

Alicia turned her head in a panic, and saw Char standing there, the hot spring was past his navel, but the inverted triangular upper body was still impacting Alicia's vision.

I don't know if it's because of the steam in the hot springs, her face is a little red.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't be nervous." Char grabbed Alicia's hand and led her to the hot springs to look out over the town in the distance.

"You should be able to see it now."

Alicia quickly relented, as she noticed that her gaze was different, or rather, Char shared the gaze in his eyes with her.

The distant town became clearer, a strange perspective that could take in the whole town, but see what was happening around every corner.

In the darkness, one after another Sarsians came out of their homes by the moonlight and joined together, both men and women, all armed with weapons, or guns, or crossbows, and those who did not have them, with pitchforks.

They split into two routes, one to the mayor's palace and the other to the fjord.

In the direction of the mayor's palace, the soldiers of West Francis waited for him, and they transformed the mayor's palace into a makeshift fortress, as if they had already guessed that the Sarsilian would revolt this evening.

A big war is on the verge of breaking out.
