Chapter 216: Princess Elizabeth and Finding Clues

Jack the Giant Catcher!

Wayne also sat by the fire, listening to the story told by the old man, which was actually a very simple, fairy tale-like story.

The monks discovered God, and then they used an unknown method to create magic pods, and using the grinding beans taken from the grinding pods, they planted a path to heaven to find God.

But when they climbed the road to heaven and reached a new place, thinking that they had come to the gates of heaven, they were met with tragic misfortune.

Between earth and heaven, there is a suspended continent called Gantova, which is the territory of the cruel Giants.

When they killed the monks and discovered the path to the world, the giants came to the world with calamity.

They burned, killed and plundered, and the human soldiers were like ants in front of them, and when they discovered the delicacy of human flesh, these giants went completely crazy and began to use humans as food, and carried out even greater destruction.

Seeing this catastrophe, the human king Eric immediately ordered the monks to reuse magic to create something that could control the giant's mind.

So the monks melted a magic bean and added all kinds of magic to create a crown that had never been seen before, and this crown was known as Eric's magic crown.

As long as the king wears this crown, all the giants will become his slaves and obey him.

King Eric ordered the giants to return to their homes, and had the beans cut down the bridge of vines that had grown from the beans, cutting off the path between Gantova and the world.

Eventually, the kingdom was safe, and King Eric went to eternal sleep with the crown and beans before he died.

After telling this story, the granddaughter of old man Thomas listened to it with great interest, and after listening to it, she asked her grandfather very excitedly:

"Grandpa, are there really giants? Do magic beans and magic crowns really exist? ”

The old man touched his beard, shook his head, and said:

"How is it possible, this is just a story, there are no giants, there are no magic spells and magic crowns, but there is indeed a King Eric, who is the ancestor of our current King Bravel, and the current royal family is the heir of King Eric."

After explaining to his granddaughter, the old man noticed that Wayne was also listening to him tell the story, so he asked with a smile:

"Mr. Wayne, haven't you heard this story? This story is very famous in our kingdom and basically all the children have heard it. ”

Wayne smiled and explained that he was from a faraway country and had not heard such a story.

However, he knew very well in his heart that this was not a story, although he was not sure what time period it was, but in the movie, the male protagonist got the magic bean and accidentally planted the magic bean, and as a result, this road to heaven reappeared and connected to the giant territory of the sky, Gantuowa.

Even the princess of the kingdom was accidentally sent there, captured by giants, and humans stole the crown, and in the end, the giants attacked the ground in a big way, and the male protagonist accidentally got the crown and married the princess to become the king, and the story got a perfect ending.

A rather clichéd story.

He can't remember the specific details clearly, but he still remembers that this happened when the princess became an adult, and before she was about to be married to the villain, the villain stole the crown, and the male protagonist Jack got the magic bean, as long as he went to the royal city to confirm, he could figure it out, what time period is it now?

After clearing his thoughts, Wayne took out the golden beans he had prepared, showed them to old Thomas, and asked:

"Mr. Thomas, I don't have your currency here, can I pay directly in gold?"

"If I could, I'd like to exchange some more gold for your coins."

"Of course, I won't let you suffer, I can pay a little more as your reward for treating me."

………………

In the afternoon, Wayne rode a mare away from Thomas's farm.

This time it was a bit of luck, the first time I met the natives was a group of good people, who not only gave him some coins, sold him a docile mare, but also invited him to lunch.

Obviously, the civilians in this world are normal people, not like those people in the wizarding world, who always think about despicable things such as cheating, kidnapping, killing people and stealing goods.

More than ten kilometers away, Wayne rode for two hours, and when he led the somewhat panting horse, approaching the royal city of the Albian Kingdom, this city that can be called a fortress was completely reflected in his eyes.

Not only does it have a moat seven or eight meters wide, a huge drawbridge-like gate that can be taken off and reclaimed, but even the city walls are nearly 20 meters high, and the building materials are made of hard rock.

On the walls of the royal city, there are also four huge repeating bed crossbows, and Wayne has an impression of this weapon, which is a powerful weapon capable of shooting giants.

There is also a sub-city wall behind the castle wall that can carry out secondary battles, and the whole can be said to be impregnable.

Unfortunately, in Wayne's memory, those giants were all seven or eight meters tall and powerful, and they were able to attack an entire tree or boulder as a throwable, and they were all humanoid trebuchets.

Human soldiers are like rats in their hands, and even knights in full armor are estimated to be just tin cans, unable to really do them any harm.

The defenses of this royal city may be able to deal with those ordinary human soldiers, but when used against giants, it still seems to be a little stretched, and it is easy to be broken through by various methods.

In the original movie, if it weren't for the male protagonist who appeared in time at the last moment with the crown that controlled the giants, it is estimated that the soldiers and civilians in the city would all have been arrested by these giants as spare ingredients.

The entrance fee to the city was not expensive, only two copper coins, and after paying the coins, Wayne pulled his horse into the city.

Like his medieval city, there were some shops in the city, and he led his horse to find a hotel to stay in, and then wandered around the shops to see if there were any souvenirs worth buying in the world to take home.

Unfortunately, after an afternoon of shopping, Wayne didn't find any good things, all of them were some common food, daily necessities and clothing, but it was not for nothing, after shopping for a long time, he found a bookstore, in this bookstore, he bought several books with golden beans, most of them were about history and mythology.

Wayne wanted to see if there were any other notable threads in the world beyond the story of the Giant Catcher.

And the reason why I didn't buy more books was mainly because the books here were too expensive, several times more expensive than the books in the wizarding world.

Probably because printing was not yet widespread, almost all books were handwritten and the paper was quite thick, so each book was equivalent to a luxury item that ordinary people could not afford at all.

But fortunately, there is almost no difference between the text here and English, and with his English level, he can barely understand the text in it, and read it.

And this world may not be as simple as Wayne imagined, because he saw the legend of Merlin in this book, as well as the Viking warriors of the north, and some legends that are somewhat similar to the earth, but some are different.

So he stayed in the city until the evening, and in the evening, he found one of the liveliest taverns in the city, and went into it, drinking and using his keen sense of hearing, to gather the information he wanted.

However, perhaps because the country had been peaceful for too long, most of the drinkers in these taverns talked about trivial matters, such as who had cheated on their wives, who had made money in their business, or which young man had become a knight's squire and had been appreciated by the nobles.

Not only that, but the kingdom called Abiran is a gastronomic desert, and he ordered their best dishes in this most lively tavern.

As a result, it was actually mashed potatoes, fried fish, and a meat pie decorated with salted fish heads, which was comparable to the existence of the dish of looking up at the starry sky, which made Wayne, a top chef, feel prickly.

He barely finished eating mashed potatoes and fried fish, and drank two bottles of fruit wine, before finally hearing something useful from others.

A young man of strong build, probably a guard in the palace, boasted to his friend:

"Princess Elizabeth is so beautiful, and she is old enough to marry, and she is the only daughter of the king."

"If anyone can marry her, he will be the future king of this country."

"I don't know which man would be such a lucky one."

After hearing the young man's emotion, some of his friends immediately asked with interest:

"Blot, you stay in the palace every day, don't you know which man the king is going to choose to be the princess's husband?"

The young man named Brott smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and at the urging of his friend, he said in a low voice:

"I guess it's Count Roderick, he is a great nobleman in the kingdom, a great lord, and he is not married, His Majesty has always kept him in the palace, and trusts him very much, I think it must be intentional to match him with Princess Elizabeth."

After hearing the news, Wayne nodded with satisfaction, at least he was sure that this Princess Elizabeth was not married yet, and she was old enough to marry, indicating that the story in the movie was about to happen.

It's a pity that he doesn't know where the crown and the magic bean are hidden, otherwise, he can sneak directly into the palace and find those two magic items, so that he doesn't need to wait for the plot in the movie to happen normally.

However, this has no effect, anyway, when the time comes, when the vine that reaches the sky appears, he will go to get the crown and the magic bean, and deal with the giant clan by the way, it will be okay, and it will not affect the final result.

And he didn't think about what to do next.

Of course, he must get the crown, as long as he has the crown, these giants will become his slaves, a group of powerful giant warriors, and if necessary, they can also be brought to other worlds to fight for him.

It's just that Wayne hasn't figured out how to treat other mortals yet.

He was not an evil person per se, and it was impossible for him to allow the giants to slaughter ordinary civilians, and he did not want to give up the power at his disposal.

But the giant's territory was too far from the ground, estimated to be several kilometers high, and he couldn't fly directly to the giant's territory without a bridge for magical vines.

The number of magic beans is limited, and when it cuts through thousands of meters of magic vines, it will also cause great damage to surrounding buildings when it falls to the ground.

If you want to use the power of the Giants in the future, the best way is to tame the entire Giants, and at the same time, keep the presence of magic vines, so that he can come and go to the Giants' territory and the ground at any time.
