Camelot Dawn
Chapter 15 only has 1 beginning entered, and I'm about to start school.
The last closed door opened in front of the guests coming from afar.The long-planned final attack on the Apennines would end all wars in Gaul.
Camelot In May 231, Arthur's entire army invaded the Apennine Peninsula. At the same time, Hilarion drove the Roman army out of Iberia, which had lost the governor of Gaul, and landed in Sicily by sea. In June, the war has reached the most critical stage, and the speed at which soldiers approach the city of Rome will determine the outcome of the final distribution of results.The obstacles and distances faced by both sides are equal, and it is too early to say who will win.
It wasn't until July that the ending gradually became clear. Arthur entered the Apennine Peninsula three days earlier than Hillary Ryan, and these three days became an insurmountable gap in the final stage.He and his Knights would be the first foreigners to enter Rome.For them who have come from afar, this is the highest feedback they can get.
Before launching the general attack on Rome, Roland came to find his husband with a solemn purpose.
"Do you remember what you said to me when we were surrounded by Servius?" Lancelot's expression revealed that he obviously didn't remember, so Roland kindly recalled for him, "You said that when I thought the time When I am mature, I can come and ask you to grant me a title."
Lancelot showed a look of sudden realization. "Finally feel like I can graduate?" he quipped.In recent days, because of the imminent victory, his mood has become a little better than in previous days.
"Yes," Roland said with some embarrassment and excitement, he handed the sword to Lancelot, "Mr. Lancelot, if you are willing to admit me, please grant me the title of knight yourself Bar."
Lancelot smiled and took his saber: "Of course I have no objection. I have been waiting for this day, but I have been waiting for a long time."
Soon, Roland knelt in front of him, just like he knelt in the open space in front of Merlin seven years ago, waiting to take an oath.
He lightly touched the attendant's right shoulder with Roland's saber: "May the power of the Holy Spirit help you pass all trials. Under the watchful eyes of the Father, you will inherit the eternal oath of the Knights of the Round Table."
Roland said: "May the oath be engraved into my soul and be with me forever."
Lancelot began to recite the oath: "I swear not only to enjoy the glory of knighthood, but also to fulfill the responsibilities of knighthood. My sword should be pointed at the wicked, and women and children should be protected; my spear will defend the truth, and don't let the smoke cloud my sword." eyes..."
Thoughts gradually spread in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of all kinds of things he encountered since he joined the Knights:
At the dinner after the ceremony seven years ago, Arthur said to him, "If you can win in battle, even if it violates the spirit of chivalry, you can only use the rules flexibly";
It was also in that year that Arthur intended to give him the title of "Chief Knight" as a gift;
In the Battle of Edinburgh six years ago, he planned to die for his knightly creed in despair;
Less than a year ago, Arthur ordered Yi Dike to go for the assassination, so he did not hesitate to quarrel with him;
A few months ago, he began to actively distance himself from Arthur, which has continued to this day.
……
Lancelot said: "I will respect all good-hearted people, because the knight's virtue is justice and humility; I should accept the challenge of all equals and defend honor with courage. I will also know sacrifice and mercy. I will use A loyal heart offers courage and faith to the Lord."
He sighed inwardly.He clearly knew that neither he nor Arthur made any mistakes, but the division of labor was different due to different roles.As long as you face up to this difference, accept its existence with a calm mind, and don't demand your own values from the other party, there will be no problems.
He will still abide by his principles and beliefs, and will still dedicate everything he has to Arthur. For him, nothing will change.Only Arthur can perceive the change.
He may feel uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine after a long time.At that time, he no longer needed to worry about offending his chief by saying something wrong, nor did he have to worry about disagreeing with his chief.At that time, he will be the freest and most powerful.
——That's what Lancelot most wanted to see.
After all the oaths have been repeated, the oath ends. "Roland Ysera, from now on you are no longer my squire. You are a respected knight equal to me."
Lancelot took down his knight's lion medal and handed it to Roland. His explanation was: "The lion medal is more expensive, and I can use it to remind myself that I will give you a formal copy after the war is over." Congratulations." Roland had no choice but to accept it temporarily.
Shortly after Roland's enthronement ceremony, the army marched into Rome.The last defenders of the Empire have done their last duty.The Roman emperor Lu Xiashi reached an agreement with Arthur that the army would not plunder after entering the city, and then Kaesong surrendered.Arthur appointed Lancelot to lead his subordinates to take over the palace and the houses of the major nobles, temporarily maintaining the stability of the order in the city of Rome;Under strict requirements, there were no negative reports in the first few days when the army entered the city.
Within a day of their entry, Hilarion's vanguard came in from the other side.When he came to the city, Arthur had already entered, so Hilarion didn't want to attack the city again, and proposed to Lu Xiashi that he also ordered his subordinates not to plunder, and Lu Xiashi opened the city to let him enter.However, neither the emperor nor Amferopol, who was staying with the emperor at this time, did not trust him enough.
Amferopol said: "Hilaryan has too many bad deeds, and Sigoth has always had such a tradition, so people can't trust him. It's better to wait a few more days until the British army completely controls the city before letting him Come in." The emperor didn't even refute, as if he didn't hear the naivety in his point of view.
After Hilarion heard the reply asking him to wait a few more days, he ordered the troops to attack without blinking an eye.The defenders were overwhelmed, and he forcibly opened the city gate.He led the army to file in from outside the city, obviously it was the same shining armor and fluttering banners, but in the eyes of the two people in the palace, the Visigoth army had an inexplicable and frightening aura .
Fortunately, he performed well after entering the city.He did not allow his subordinates to loot the occupied city as he had done countless times before, nor did he confront Lancelot head-on to seize control of the royal palace and noble mansions.The only thing he is obsessed with is the official residence of the Governor of Gaul in Rome. With the help of Amferopol, he obtained control of that residence from Arthur, and the only thing he did afterwards was to tear it down up.Everyone in Rome at that time could not understand what the Visigoth king was going crazy, except Amferopol.After he knew this, he let out a long sigh.
After that, the calm lasted for a while, and then it was completely broken.
One night in midsummer, just after dark, thick smoke rose over the city of Rome.The wooden buildings in the city caught fire and quickly burned into one piece, surrounding the palace.The people in the city were terrified and fled, and no one organized to put out the fire, even though the Tiber was in sight.The fire spread unscrupulously and gradually became uncontrollable.
Lancelot had just finished a day of inspections at that time, and just concluded that all the important places guarded by his subordinates on this day were all safe and sound, when he turned his head and saw the soaring flames rising from the center of the city.His first reaction at the time was "Roland is in charge of guarding the palace!", and when he realized it the next second, he was already galloping on the road leading to the palace.
Still far away from the palace, his horse was forced to be unable to move forward by the rolling heat wave.He grabbed the soldiers who had escaped from the sea of fire, and after asking around, he finally had to accept that Roland was still in the palace surrounded by fire, and his life and death were unknown.He sat on the horse staring at the twisted flames behind the billowing heat, and finally decided to venture in.He dismounted from the horse, and the horse lost the restraint of the rein and hurriedly turned around and ran away, leaving only its owner to go in the opposite direction without fear of death.
Lancelot cut off a relatively clean piece of the cloak with a dagger, soaked it with the water in the water bag, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed in in a direction where the fire was not so fierce.He couldn't shout out in the thick smoke, so he could only search for Roland as quickly as possible with his eyes wide open while avoiding the high temperature.He couldn't let a child who just became a knight die so uselessly, he thought.
When Roland was found, the new knight was being crushed by the fallen house, curled up on the ground and struggling to breathe.Lancelot shook his dizzy head, thinking that it was not bad, he found him before his life was in danger, and he was not dead yet.He removed the thing that was holding Roland away, handed him the water-stained veil to cover his mouth and nose, and then led him to run in the direction he came from.Roland lost consciousness because his legs were crushed, so he could only crawl on the ground with difficulty.
At this time, Roland was already a little delirious due to the long-lasting pain. Coupled with the influence of the scorching heat and layers of heat around him, he couldn't quite understand the situation around him.He felt that someone came to rescue him and pulled him to run outside. He could only crawl a little bit on the ground, and that person was always in front of him.But then suddenly that person disappeared, and Roland couldn't figure out what was going on, but his instinctive will to survive made him continue to climb down faster and faster in the direction just now, and finally encountered a large army outside , People hurriedly carried him away from the scene of the fire.
He wasn't fatally injured, and his legs didn't lose the ability to move. After the initial dizziness and collapse passed, he could basically move like a normal person.Only now did he have time to thank those who rescued him one by one, but everyone he thanked evaded and said, "It's not me, it's you who are very stubborn."Roland was very puzzled, he was sure that someone broke into the flames and saved him, and if it wasn't for that person, he would definitely be dead now.But who is that person?
As the fire was temporarily out of control, Arthur hurriedly commanded his army to withdraw from the city of Rome, and the tossing did not end until midnight.After a sleepless night, the next morning, Arthur came to him with a cold face and asked, "Where's your husband?"
"Ah?" Roland was confused, "Sorry Your Majesty, I don't know, I was trapped in the fire last night..."
However, Arthur's next sentence made his whole blood coagulate: "He rescued you."
"I don't, I don't know..." Roland began to panic.
Arthur closed his eyes repressedly, and then opened them again: "I asked everyone who saw him yesterday, and all those who knew said that he went to you after seeing the fire. But," the golden eyes have nothing Looking at him emotionally, "You said you didn't know."
"I really don't know!" Roland was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, his expression changed as if he had thought of something, and then he made a 360° turn. When he looked at Arthur again, the expression in his eyes Filled with fear. "His Majesty……"
The fire was not fully extinguished until several days later.The imperial palace has long since left a stone shell, and the buildings around it are nothing but black coke.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there is no way for Lu Xiashi and Anferopol who stayed inside to escape, so they became the last two people who were buried for the empire.Because Arthur's troops were in the city at that time, they were seriously damaged, and Lancelot's troops were the worst among them. The part of them that was assigned to guard the palace had almost no survivors.Hilarion's army suffered little damage because it was discovered and withdrawn earlier.
Arthur had to worry about these things, but none of them were his top concerns.What he was most concerned about was where Lancelot had gone, but he hadn't been able to find him in the army for the past few days, and his heart was already half cold; when he returned to the city to search again, he still couldn't find him.After dragging on for almost ten days without seeing anyone alive or dead, Arthur finally had to announce the cessation of the search, believing that Lancelot had died in the flames.
"The chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot Niemove, gave his life to save his subordinates. His love, courage and sacrifice will be forever remembered by the brothers of the Knights. May he rest in peace in heaven."
This is Lancelot's death declaration made by Cavalier Leader Kai on Arthur's behalf.To say this meant that no chair would be reserved for him at the Round Table, and that his attendants had to leave Camelot.
Roland asked Arthur for this. "I believe that Mr. is not dead, Your Majesty, please allow me to stay here and wait, if he can come back—"
"If this is not true anymore." Arthur didn't look at him, and said deadpan, "If he is still alive, he will definitely come back to see me immediately. If not, then it means that he is dead." He announced almost cruelly, Or Roland felt that he was making a judgment, "Roland, you must abide by the rules of the knight order, because it is sacred and inviolable, above everything else. The knight dies, and the servants leave. You have no reason to stay."
Roland was about to cry.He took out the lion medal that Lancelot left him as a temporary certificate, and handed it to Arthur: "I am not his attendant now, sir granted me a seal before attacking Rome, and he used this as a temporary certificate. So, can you—Sire, I beg you—" He broke off.
Arthur showed an unbelievable expression. He took the silver armband from Roland's hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while.In fact, the armband is nothing special, it's just something that everyone in the Knights has.Just when Roland thought he would take back the lion medal, Arthur returned it to him.
"Go away, Roland, take this thing." This time it was he who made the request to Roland.

In September 231 of Camelot, the war in the former empire subsided, and the two victors re-drawn the border.The Visigoths occupied the part of the empire in continental Europe except Gaul, including Iberia, Italy, half of the Mediterranean Sea and its south coast; the newly annexed territory of the Pendragon Kingdom included the entire Gaul, the northern border of the empire until Scandinavia the area south of Navia.
After demarcating the national boundaries, Arthur divided the newly incorporated Gaul region into a dozen regions including Britain, Champagne, Norman, Brittany, and Camelot, and established branches of the Knights in each region. Turn more than 100 Knights of the Round Table into lords, large and small, to consolidate their rule and reward heroes.Several major regions were handed over to his most trusted subordinates for management.After being roughly settled, Arthur stayed in Gaul to deal with various problems in the new territory, making himself extremely busy in order to ignore the fact that "Lancelot is dead".
But sometimes he still thinks unexpectedly that he still has some misunderstandings that he hasn't clarified with him, the relationship between the two of them is still so unembarrassing, and there are still some things that he didn't ask him, but the parting came so suddenly up.
Every time he thinks about it, his heart hurts like hell.
What's worse, when he sleeps at night, he will dream about all kinds of past things. He has opened his eyes in the dark countless times and found himself in tears.Merlin stayed in Camelot and couldn't come. No one put a sleep spell on him, so he could only let the memories hollow him out bit by bit.Later, he couldn't sleep all night long, and when he opened his eyes until dawn, he was miraculously not sleepy the next day, which was also miraculous—he thought that maybe all the human things on his body were burned away in the fire of Rome. .
He returned to Camelot once in this year, and the familiar palace became unbearable to him, because the memories clung to his heart like vines here.He met Guinevere, who has been in charge for several years. This queen has managed everything in the old capital in an orderly manner, and the people respect and love her very much. She is already a fully qualified mistress of the kingdom.Arthur called her and Merlin together and told them to prepare to move the capital.
In the same year, construction began on New Camelot in Gaul.
■
Hilarian took over the most developed area of the original empire as he wished. From the perspective of spoils, he is the biggest winner of this war.But he also had some remaining issues to deal with.
In the second year after the end of the war, Sadan Germanik was allowed to leave his dark prison and return to the surface.When he stood in front of Hilarion again, all the intense emotions a year ago had settled into thick vicissitudes.
He asked: "Why am I still standing before you, Your Majesty Hilarion? I thought you should have ordered my execution long ago."
Hilarion knew what he was talking about.After the Battle of Valencia, he broke through the Roman army and joined his main force, but it was too late.At that time, Mecklen was seriously injured, and Sadan, who should not have appeared here, not only appeared, but also held the sword of Drangel, which he recognized at a glance, and begged himself to die.He still remembered that Sadan said that day, I avenged myself, but I have great guilt for you.
The red-haired Visigoth smiled coldly. "Remember what you said? Guilt. So I changed my mind. I no longer intend to kill you, like I killed Mecklen. I want to save your life, with your guilt-you are not Are you ashamed of me? Don't you suffer from it? Well, just suffer from it for the rest of your life."
"..."
Hilarion moved closer to him, so close that Sadan could feel his breath.His emerald-like glasses were full of bitterness and coldness, but his voice was very gentle: "Sadan, do you know my cousin Krancimera? She likes you very much, even if you are a prisoner, I also insist on marrying you. So I let you out, and I will reinstate you because I can't help but give her a decent marriage. But what about you? Will you be loyal to me for the rest of your life? Will you not Will you hate me for letting you live in pain? Will you make the same mistakes as Salufi?"
Satin felt as if the weight of his body was about to crush his bones. "I won't," he said with difficulty, "you are the only person I am loyal to, past, present, and future." It's just about Geer's business.But he felt that this one time was enough to destroy all of Hilarion's trust in him.
"Very good," Hilarion nodded with satisfaction, her expression still extremely cold, "then you will marry my cousin" and get the same status as the clan relatives. Your descendants will inherit the surname of Krancimera, which is My surname, to inherit my throne after my death."
Sadan raised his head in surprise.Hilarion met his gaze, and he dropped his head again.
"Then it's settled." King Sigoth ended the conversation without emotion.
■
In Camelot 233, General Sadan, who had resumed his position, married the Visigoth princess Clansimera-Ursilia. The wedding was as grand as when Princess Turkma was married.
In the same year, Arthur's new Camelot was completed, the kingdom officially moved its capital, and the center of gravity of the rule shifted from Britain to Gaul.
Due to the increasingly stable life, the scattered barbarians on the European continent have poured into Visigoth, which has a stronger sense of belonging for them.Four years later, the country had become a mixture of many nationalities, so Hilarion announced that the name of the country should be changed to "Germania" to accept all the exiled Germans on the European continent.At the same time he made Christianity the state religion.
Now, the entire European continent is showing a situation of stabilization after the great chaos: an old empire has disintegrated, and two new forces have integrated its fragments to form two new kingdoms.The rulers of the two countries have experienced the years of war at the end of the empire, and neither wants to start a war again. Therefore, under the tacit understanding of the two parties, it seems that there will be no more wars on the European continent for a long, long time.
【End of Gaul】
The author has something to say: The Gaul volume is over, sprinkle flowers XDD
--------------
The following is the author's complaint, which can be skipped:
Obviously the CP set in the outline is Young Master→General An×Su Nan, but because Sunan does not appear for the time being, and because the author loves the Young Master more, the plot is now rushing towards Mega OTZ
In the end, the content that should have been written in three chapters was shortened to one chapter by me, and I was also drunk.
You should be able to guess who started the fire in Rome. www The author thinks that some characters in this chapter are seriously blackened.
--------------
After the Gaul volume, there will be two episodes, one is about the intersection of Gawain and Lancelot in the early years, and the other is about the history of the Holy Grail family. It will be about 4 chapters long, and then enter the main text of the Holy Grail volume.
The Holy Grail volume will be the last volume of the book. Mrs. Megana, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, is coming back. The author is a little excited XDD
Then try to let General Sadan, a professional soy sauce maker, come out to make soy sauce in the holy grail roll hhh
☆、Thirty Crosses and Roses in Intermission
"This glass of wine is a toast to our distinguished guests who have come from afar!" As the words fell, wine glasses were raised on both sides of the long table, and the mellow wine was drunk by the guests amidst joyful echoes.
This is a pleasant and grand reception dinner, the grand reason is that the guests are distinguished.That was the wife of King Lott of Northern England. She and a group of relatives from her natal family came to Gaul for vacation, and they were entertained by local distant relatives.
At this time, the so-called relatives with smiling but unfamiliar faces were sitting on the table with clear distinctions between superiority and inferiority, which made the queen's eldest son Gao Wen feel uninterested.Teenagers are supposed to be active. Even Kowen-Anthiros, who will be able to have a clear mind and a mirror-like mirror like a flat lake in the future, can't bear the seemingly endless politeness and drinking at this time.He urgently needs to go out to get some air now, and looking around quietly, he found that several cousins of the same age on the table also showed similar intentions.
So after the lengthy dinner party, several children of various ages did so tacitly.One of them said that he knew that there was a dark forest not far from the castle, which was very suitable for exploration, and this proposal immediately got everyone's approval.Gao Wen nodded along with them, thinking that as long as he had a place to go, it would be better than suffocating to death in the castle.
"I'm going too, brother," his five-year-old brother Gakhlis swore to him, "I won't hold you back."
You will, Gao Wen said in his heart without hesitation, looking at the short-handed and short-legged Gakhris.But he couldn't stand his younger brother's stalking, and several brothers were afraid of being discovered by adults after a long delay, so they urged him one after another, so he had no choice but to take Gakhris with him first.
The forest soon approached, and it was dark under the night, making people want to find out more and more.Several children polished the lampshade of the wind lamp in their hands, smiled at each other, and strode into the black forest as if they were more daring.Gao Wen originally entered with them, but the complex terrain and dark environment caused a lot of trouble for his tow bottle Gachris. Gao Wen had to wait for his younger brother before chasing his friends, and completely lost the adventure. fun of.
When he found out that the situation was not good, he couldn't find any trace of his friends.A subtle sense of fear crawled into his heart, Gao Wen yelled loudly several times, but they were all submerged in the layers of leaves and branches.For a moment, the two brothers seemed to be a lonely boat in the middle of the sea, with no land on all sides, and no one in the world.
After looking at each other on the spot for a while, Gao Wen decided to stop waiting indefinitely. "I'm going to look for them," he knelt down, trying to imitate the appearance of an adult and said to Gakhris, "you stay here and don't move, wait for me for a while, okay?"
"Well, okay." Gachris nodded obediently, showing no signs of fear at all (but Gao Wen suspected that he had already lost his mind).
In any case, the 10-year-old Kowen kid did the stupidest thing that night - he left his brother where he was, and went into the dark woods to find his lost brother.He didn't succeed, so he planned to turn around and look for Gachris again, but he couldn't find it anyway.The lighting was too dim, the terrain too unfamiliar, the scenery too repetitive, and he lost his way.
Now his pitifully small size was gone.He couldn't imagine what would happen to his younger brother if he got lost, and what kind of punishment he would receive.All kinds of terrifying possibilities rushed into his mind in an instant, and his legs became weak under the pressure of great fear, and his throat constricted for a while. "Gahris," he called in a tentative and suspicious voice, "where are you?"
No one answered, so his voice rose gradually, and his steps began to scatter, walking at first, then slowly running, wandering aimlessly among the trees.His entire body and mind were filled with the fear brought about by the incomparable silence at this moment.
Nervously tightened his stomach and intestines together, Gao Wen stopped and supported the tree trunk to pant, trying his best to restrain the desire to vomit.There was always a "what to do" echoing in his mind, and other than that it was blank, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure at all.Stress and fear made him on the verge of collapse, and he even had hallucinations, feeling that there were faint lights in the dark woods, and even Gachris' voice.
After resting against the tree trunk for a while, the feeling of stomach and intestines being twisted was relieved, and Gao Wen gradually realized that the lights and sounds did not seem to be his hallucinations.He could see clearly now, and he did feel a faint light among the trees.He tried to shout Gachris' name out loud with a somewhat hoarse voice, as before, without hope, but this time he heard the sound of response.He stood up abruptly.
Although he couldn't hear what the other party said, he was sure that someone was in the woods as far as his eyes could see and his voice could reach.
——As long as there are people!
He suddenly felt full of strength all over his body, and all his senses were sharpened, guiding him to trace the source of the light.This tracking is getting easier as the lights get brighter and brighter.When the lamp appeared in front of him, Gao Wen had the illusion that there was a small piece of daylight in the dark woods.
For a moment he thought he had seen a miracle.He saw that the one carrying the lamp was a child about his own age, with blond hair and wearing clean white clothes. He didn't know what was lit in the lamp, and it looked like a little sun in his hand.But that's beside the point.The point is, that girl—Gao Wen guessed it should be a girl—reached out to lead his precious brother Gachris!When Gao Wen saw Gakhris obediently following a strange stranger, he almost didn't collapse again.
"Gahris! You..."
He had just started talking when he was interrupted by "strange strange guy". "Are you his brother?" The voice of the question was very clear, which made Gao Wen more sure that the other party was a little girl.The little blond girl looked back and forth between the two of them twice, and answered her own question on her own: "It seems so, you two really look alike."
Gao Wen felt a little stuffy for some reason. "I'm his brother," he stretched out his hand somewhat unfriendlyly, "Gahris, you're back."
Gakhris gave him face very much, he broke away from the stranger's hand and stuck to his side, allowing Gao Wen to regain a bit of his dignity as an older brother.He pulled Gakhris behind him, and asked with some vigilance, "Who are you?"
The little girl shrugged her shoulders and answered irrelevantly: "Your brother was lost in the woods, and Dolores found him. Now she knows that you are anxious to find him, and sent me to bring him back."
Gao Wen was confused. "Who is Dolores?" he asked.
"My sister," said the little blond girl.
"How does she know everything?" Gao Wen asked again.
The other party was obviously taken aback.Then she replied in a strange way: "Dolores just...knows everything."
Gao Wen felt that he could not communicate with her at all, so he became more vigilant. "Well, I'm not interested in you," he said, staring at the other party hostilely, "I'm going back now, you are not allowed to follow me anymore!" After saying that, he pulled Gakhris up, turned and left.
When he was about to walk out of the small piece of daylight, the voice of the blond child sounded behind him, and there was no sign of anger, just asking in a normal way: "Do you know the way back?"
Govin paused. "You don't have to worry about it." He left the other side with a back of his head and said.
In fact, Gao Wen did not know the way back.He couldn't figure out what kind of state of mind he was in at the time and refused the other party's possible help.However, what was strange was that he and Gachris actually walked out of the woods that night without hindrance, and returned home safe and sound;But Gao Wen doesn't care much about this punishment anymore, compared to the worst outcome he ever imagined in a certain dark moment, being scolded is really insignificant.
A few days later, when reason came back to him again, Gao Wen couldn't help feeling that his attitude that night was really unreasonable.After all, no matter who the blond child and her so-called "sister" were, it was a fact that they helped themselves and Gakhris.At least I should thank them.However, at that time, my heart was completely occupied by fear, and I completely forgot what etiquette is.He felt it was a pity.
He also tried to ask his younger brother, who was calm from beginning to end: "Gahris, where are the two people who helped you that night live?"
Gakhris thought for a while, then announced in a crisp voice, "Avalon, that long-haired sister said it!"
Gao Wen thought he was referring to the child who carried the lantern that day, and she did have long golden hair.But he had never heard of this place, and he asked his elder cousin and his mother, and got no answer.So this matter had to be left alone, although Gao Wen felt that his faux pas was a pity, but he was powerless to make up for it, so he had to try his best to forget it.
■
At the age of 17, he set foot on the land of Gaul again, but he lost his leisurely holiday mood.The heavy armor was on his shoulders, and the fresh air and expression were cut off behind him—this is the battlefield, a place where everyone can truly be equal.
It turned out that two years ago, a king of Gaul was overthrown in a coup by his courtiers and was forced to flee. He used his mother's blood relationship to seek help from Queen Ismatha-Wessland of Scotland.The latter responded quickly, sending the first batch of troops to the battlefield less than a month later, and then sent several rounds of reinforcements one after another.This year, Ismasha united with other countries on the British Isle to form a multinational coalition force. Under her leadership, she crossed the sea to the European continent, preparing to solve the rebellion once and for all and usher in the return of the original dynasty.Gao Wen is in the reinforcements this time, as a soldier.
Ismasha stood tall in front of the chariot in a crimson dress, her upper body was covered with golden light armor, and her long silver hair fluttered like a banner in the wind; when she raised her spear, the gold-plated spearhead As if it could pierce the sun.Gao Wen thought of the Valkyries in pagan mythology. Compared with them, Ismasha had a little more wild fireworks.But her courtiers seemed to be accustomed to this, and Gao Wen couldn't help feeling that Scotland's martial arts complex was a little too dangerous.
In war, however, such a spirit is entirely salutary and harmless.Three months after Ismasha came, the rebellion subsided, the war ended, and the old king was restored.The king who had regained his authority naturally had to thank his cousin and the allies she brought.At the celebration banquet, the king, who was slightly drunk, was in a good mood. He waved his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, how should I thank you? I have priceless wealth and jewels. As long as you tell me, I will definitely do it for you."
Ismasha is also carrying
Camelot In May 231, Arthur's entire army invaded the Apennine Peninsula. At the same time, Hilarion drove the Roman army out of Iberia, which had lost the governor of Gaul, and landed in Sicily by sea. In June, the war has reached the most critical stage, and the speed at which soldiers approach the city of Rome will determine the outcome of the final distribution of results.The obstacles and distances faced by both sides are equal, and it is too early to say who will win.
It wasn't until July that the ending gradually became clear. Arthur entered the Apennine Peninsula three days earlier than Hillary Ryan, and these three days became an insurmountable gap in the final stage.He and his Knights would be the first foreigners to enter Rome.For them who have come from afar, this is the highest feedback they can get.
Before launching the general attack on Rome, Roland came to find his husband with a solemn purpose.
"Do you remember what you said to me when we were surrounded by Servius?" Lancelot's expression revealed that he obviously didn't remember, so Roland kindly recalled for him, "You said that when I thought the time When I am mature, I can come and ask you to grant me a title."
Lancelot showed a look of sudden realization. "Finally feel like I can graduate?" he quipped.In recent days, because of the imminent victory, his mood has become a little better than in previous days.
"Yes," Roland said with some embarrassment and excitement, he handed the sword to Lancelot, "Mr. Lancelot, if you are willing to admit me, please grant me the title of knight yourself Bar."
Lancelot smiled and took his saber: "Of course I have no objection. I have been waiting for this day, but I have been waiting for a long time."
Soon, Roland knelt in front of him, just like he knelt in the open space in front of Merlin seven years ago, waiting to take an oath.
He lightly touched the attendant's right shoulder with Roland's saber: "May the power of the Holy Spirit help you pass all trials. Under the watchful eyes of the Father, you will inherit the eternal oath of the Knights of the Round Table."
Roland said: "May the oath be engraved into my soul and be with me forever."
Lancelot began to recite the oath: "I swear not only to enjoy the glory of knighthood, but also to fulfill the responsibilities of knighthood. My sword should be pointed at the wicked, and women and children should be protected; my spear will defend the truth, and don't let the smoke cloud my sword." eyes..."
Thoughts gradually spread in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of all kinds of things he encountered since he joined the Knights:
At the dinner after the ceremony seven years ago, Arthur said to him, "If you can win in battle, even if it violates the spirit of chivalry, you can only use the rules flexibly";
It was also in that year that Arthur intended to give him the title of "Chief Knight" as a gift;
In the Battle of Edinburgh six years ago, he planned to die for his knightly creed in despair;
Less than a year ago, Arthur ordered Yi Dike to go for the assassination, so he did not hesitate to quarrel with him;
A few months ago, he began to actively distance himself from Arthur, which has continued to this day.
……
Lancelot said: "I will respect all good-hearted people, because the knight's virtue is justice and humility; I should accept the challenge of all equals and defend honor with courage. I will also know sacrifice and mercy. I will use A loyal heart offers courage and faith to the Lord."
He sighed inwardly.He clearly knew that neither he nor Arthur made any mistakes, but the division of labor was different due to different roles.As long as you face up to this difference, accept its existence with a calm mind, and don't demand your own values from the other party, there will be no problems.
He will still abide by his principles and beliefs, and will still dedicate everything he has to Arthur. For him, nothing will change.Only Arthur can perceive the change.
He may feel uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine after a long time.At that time, he no longer needed to worry about offending his chief by saying something wrong, nor did he have to worry about disagreeing with his chief.At that time, he will be the freest and most powerful.
——That's what Lancelot most wanted to see.
After all the oaths have been repeated, the oath ends. "Roland Ysera, from now on you are no longer my squire. You are a respected knight equal to me."
Lancelot took down his knight's lion medal and handed it to Roland. His explanation was: "The lion medal is more expensive, and I can use it to remind myself that I will give you a formal copy after the war is over." Congratulations." Roland had no choice but to accept it temporarily.
Shortly after Roland's enthronement ceremony, the army marched into Rome.The last defenders of the Empire have done their last duty.The Roman emperor Lu Xiashi reached an agreement with Arthur that the army would not plunder after entering the city, and then Kaesong surrendered.Arthur appointed Lancelot to lead his subordinates to take over the palace and the houses of the major nobles, temporarily maintaining the stability of the order in the city of Rome;Under strict requirements, there were no negative reports in the first few days when the army entered the city.
Within a day of their entry, Hilarion's vanguard came in from the other side.When he came to the city, Arthur had already entered, so Hilarion didn't want to attack the city again, and proposed to Lu Xiashi that he also ordered his subordinates not to plunder, and Lu Xiashi opened the city to let him enter.However, neither the emperor nor Amferopol, who was staying with the emperor at this time, did not trust him enough.
Amferopol said: "Hilaryan has too many bad deeds, and Sigoth has always had such a tradition, so people can't trust him. It's better to wait a few more days until the British army completely controls the city before letting him Come in." The emperor didn't even refute, as if he didn't hear the naivety in his point of view.
After Hilarion heard the reply asking him to wait a few more days, he ordered the troops to attack without blinking an eye.The defenders were overwhelmed, and he forcibly opened the city gate.He led the army to file in from outside the city, obviously it was the same shining armor and fluttering banners, but in the eyes of the two people in the palace, the Visigoth army had an inexplicable and frightening aura .
Fortunately, he performed well after entering the city.He did not allow his subordinates to loot the occupied city as he had done countless times before, nor did he confront Lancelot head-on to seize control of the royal palace and noble mansions.The only thing he is obsessed with is the official residence of the Governor of Gaul in Rome. With the help of Amferopol, he obtained control of that residence from Arthur, and the only thing he did afterwards was to tear it down up.Everyone in Rome at that time could not understand what the Visigoth king was going crazy, except Amferopol.After he knew this, he let out a long sigh.
After that, the calm lasted for a while, and then it was completely broken.
One night in midsummer, just after dark, thick smoke rose over the city of Rome.The wooden buildings in the city caught fire and quickly burned into one piece, surrounding the palace.The people in the city were terrified and fled, and no one organized to put out the fire, even though the Tiber was in sight.The fire spread unscrupulously and gradually became uncontrollable.
Lancelot had just finished a day of inspections at that time, and just concluded that all the important places guarded by his subordinates on this day were all safe and sound, when he turned his head and saw the soaring flames rising from the center of the city.His first reaction at the time was "Roland is in charge of guarding the palace!", and when he realized it the next second, he was already galloping on the road leading to the palace.
Still far away from the palace, his horse was forced to be unable to move forward by the rolling heat wave.He grabbed the soldiers who had escaped from the sea of fire, and after asking around, he finally had to accept that Roland was still in the palace surrounded by fire, and his life and death were unknown.He sat on the horse staring at the twisted flames behind the billowing heat, and finally decided to venture in.He dismounted from the horse, and the horse lost the restraint of the rein and hurriedly turned around and ran away, leaving only its owner to go in the opposite direction without fear of death.
Lancelot cut off a relatively clean piece of the cloak with a dagger, soaked it with the water in the water bag, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed in in a direction where the fire was not so fierce.He couldn't shout out in the thick smoke, so he could only search for Roland as quickly as possible with his eyes wide open while avoiding the high temperature.He couldn't let a child who just became a knight die so uselessly, he thought.
When Roland was found, the new knight was being crushed by the fallen house, curled up on the ground and struggling to breathe.Lancelot shook his dizzy head, thinking that it was not bad, he found him before his life was in danger, and he was not dead yet.He removed the thing that was holding Roland away, handed him the water-stained veil to cover his mouth and nose, and then led him to run in the direction he came from.Roland lost consciousness because his legs were crushed, so he could only crawl on the ground with difficulty.
At this time, Roland was already a little delirious due to the long-lasting pain. Coupled with the influence of the scorching heat and layers of heat around him, he couldn't quite understand the situation around him.He felt that someone came to rescue him and pulled him to run outside. He could only crawl a little bit on the ground, and that person was always in front of him.But then suddenly that person disappeared, and Roland couldn't figure out what was going on, but his instinctive will to survive made him continue to climb down faster and faster in the direction just now, and finally encountered a large army outside , People hurriedly carried him away from the scene of the fire.
He wasn't fatally injured, and his legs didn't lose the ability to move. After the initial dizziness and collapse passed, he could basically move like a normal person.Only now did he have time to thank those who rescued him one by one, but everyone he thanked evaded and said, "It's not me, it's you who are very stubborn."Roland was very puzzled, he was sure that someone broke into the flames and saved him, and if it wasn't for that person, he would definitely be dead now.But who is that person?
As the fire was temporarily out of control, Arthur hurriedly commanded his army to withdraw from the city of Rome, and the tossing did not end until midnight.After a sleepless night, the next morning, Arthur came to him with a cold face and asked, "Where's your husband?"
"Ah?" Roland was confused, "Sorry Your Majesty, I don't know, I was trapped in the fire last night..."
However, Arthur's next sentence made his whole blood coagulate: "He rescued you."
"I don't, I don't know..." Roland began to panic.
Arthur closed his eyes repressedly, and then opened them again: "I asked everyone who saw him yesterday, and all those who knew said that he went to you after seeing the fire. But," the golden eyes have nothing Looking at him emotionally, "You said you didn't know."
"I really don't know!" Roland was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, his expression changed as if he had thought of something, and then he made a 360° turn. When he looked at Arthur again, the expression in his eyes Filled with fear. "His Majesty……"
The fire was not fully extinguished until several days later.The imperial palace has long since left a stone shell, and the buildings around it are nothing but black coke.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there is no way for Lu Xiashi and Anferopol who stayed inside to escape, so they became the last two people who were buried for the empire.Because Arthur's troops were in the city at that time, they were seriously damaged, and Lancelot's troops were the worst among them. The part of them that was assigned to guard the palace had almost no survivors.Hilarion's army suffered little damage because it was discovered and withdrawn earlier.
Arthur had to worry about these things, but none of them were his top concerns.What he was most concerned about was where Lancelot had gone, but he hadn't been able to find him in the army for the past few days, and his heart was already half cold; when he returned to the city to search again, he still couldn't find him.After dragging on for almost ten days without seeing anyone alive or dead, Arthur finally had to announce the cessation of the search, believing that Lancelot had died in the flames.
"The chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot Niemove, gave his life to save his subordinates. His love, courage and sacrifice will be forever remembered by the brothers of the Knights. May he rest in peace in heaven."
This is Lancelot's death declaration made by Cavalier Leader Kai on Arthur's behalf.To say this meant that no chair would be reserved for him at the Round Table, and that his attendants had to leave Camelot.
Roland asked Arthur for this. "I believe that Mr. is not dead, Your Majesty, please allow me to stay here and wait, if he can come back—"
"If this is not true anymore." Arthur didn't look at him, and said deadpan, "If he is still alive, he will definitely come back to see me immediately. If not, then it means that he is dead." He announced almost cruelly, Or Roland felt that he was making a judgment, "Roland, you must abide by the rules of the knight order, because it is sacred and inviolable, above everything else. The knight dies, and the servants leave. You have no reason to stay."
Roland was about to cry.He took out the lion medal that Lancelot left him as a temporary certificate, and handed it to Arthur: "I am not his attendant now, sir granted me a seal before attacking Rome, and he used this as a temporary certificate. So, can you—Sire, I beg you—" He broke off.
Arthur showed an unbelievable expression. He took the silver armband from Roland's hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while.In fact, the armband is nothing special, it's just something that everyone in the Knights has.Just when Roland thought he would take back the lion medal, Arthur returned it to him.
"Go away, Roland, take this thing." This time it was he who made the request to Roland.
■
In September 231 of Camelot, the war in the former empire subsided, and the two victors re-drawn the border.The Visigoths occupied the part of the empire in continental Europe except Gaul, including Iberia, Italy, half of the Mediterranean Sea and its south coast; the newly annexed territory of the Pendragon Kingdom included the entire Gaul, the northern border of the empire until Scandinavia the area south of Navia.
After demarcating the national boundaries, Arthur divided the newly incorporated Gaul region into a dozen regions including Britain, Champagne, Norman, Brittany, and Camelot, and established branches of the Knights in each region. Turn more than 100 Knights of the Round Table into lords, large and small, to consolidate their rule and reward heroes.Several major regions were handed over to his most trusted subordinates for management.After being roughly settled, Arthur stayed in Gaul to deal with various problems in the new territory, making himself extremely busy in order to ignore the fact that "Lancelot is dead".
But sometimes he still thinks unexpectedly that he still has some misunderstandings that he hasn't clarified with him, the relationship between the two of them is still so unembarrassing, and there are still some things that he didn't ask him, but the parting came so suddenly up.
Every time he thinks about it, his heart hurts like hell.
What's worse, when he sleeps at night, he will dream about all kinds of past things. He has opened his eyes in the dark countless times and found himself in tears.Merlin stayed in Camelot and couldn't come. No one put a sleep spell on him, so he could only let the memories hollow him out bit by bit.Later, he couldn't sleep all night long, and when he opened his eyes until dawn, he was miraculously not sleepy the next day, which was also miraculous—he thought that maybe all the human things on his body were burned away in the fire of Rome. .
He returned to Camelot once in this year, and the familiar palace became unbearable to him, because the memories clung to his heart like vines here.He met Guinevere, who has been in charge for several years. This queen has managed everything in the old capital in an orderly manner, and the people respect and love her very much. She is already a fully qualified mistress of the kingdom.Arthur called her and Merlin together and told them to prepare to move the capital.
In the same year, construction began on New Camelot in Gaul.
■
Hilarian took over the most developed area of the original empire as he wished. From the perspective of spoils, he is the biggest winner of this war.But he also had some remaining issues to deal with.
In the second year after the end of the war, Sadan Germanik was allowed to leave his dark prison and return to the surface.When he stood in front of Hilarion again, all the intense emotions a year ago had settled into thick vicissitudes.
He asked: "Why am I still standing before you, Your Majesty Hilarion? I thought you should have ordered my execution long ago."
Hilarion knew what he was talking about.After the Battle of Valencia, he broke through the Roman army and joined his main force, but it was too late.At that time, Mecklen was seriously injured, and Sadan, who should not have appeared here, not only appeared, but also held the sword of Drangel, which he recognized at a glance, and begged himself to die.He still remembered that Sadan said that day, I avenged myself, but I have great guilt for you.
The red-haired Visigoth smiled coldly. "Remember what you said? Guilt. So I changed my mind. I no longer intend to kill you, like I killed Mecklen. I want to save your life, with your guilt-you are not Are you ashamed of me? Don't you suffer from it? Well, just suffer from it for the rest of your life."
"..."
Hilarion moved closer to him, so close that Sadan could feel his breath.His emerald-like glasses were full of bitterness and coldness, but his voice was very gentle: "Sadan, do you know my cousin Krancimera? She likes you very much, even if you are a prisoner, I also insist on marrying you. So I let you out, and I will reinstate you because I can't help but give her a decent marriage. But what about you? Will you be loyal to me for the rest of your life? Will you not Will you hate me for letting you live in pain? Will you make the same mistakes as Salufi?"
Satin felt as if the weight of his body was about to crush his bones. "I won't," he said with difficulty, "you are the only person I am loyal to, past, present, and future." It's just about Geer's business.But he felt that this one time was enough to destroy all of Hilarion's trust in him.
"Very good," Hilarion nodded with satisfaction, her expression still extremely cold, "then you will marry my cousin" and get the same status as the clan relatives. Your descendants will inherit the surname of Krancimera, which is My surname, to inherit my throne after my death."
Sadan raised his head in surprise.Hilarion met his gaze, and he dropped his head again.
"Then it's settled." King Sigoth ended the conversation without emotion.
■
In Camelot 233, General Sadan, who had resumed his position, married the Visigoth princess Clansimera-Ursilia. The wedding was as grand as when Princess Turkma was married.
In the same year, Arthur's new Camelot was completed, the kingdom officially moved its capital, and the center of gravity of the rule shifted from Britain to Gaul.
Due to the increasingly stable life, the scattered barbarians on the European continent have poured into Visigoth, which has a stronger sense of belonging for them.Four years later, the country had become a mixture of many nationalities, so Hilarion announced that the name of the country should be changed to "Germania" to accept all the exiled Germans on the European continent.At the same time he made Christianity the state religion.
Now, the entire European continent is showing a situation of stabilization after the great chaos: an old empire has disintegrated, and two new forces have integrated its fragments to form two new kingdoms.The rulers of the two countries have experienced the years of war at the end of the empire, and neither wants to start a war again. Therefore, under the tacit understanding of the two parties, it seems that there will be no more wars on the European continent for a long, long time.
【End of Gaul】
The author has something to say: The Gaul volume is over, sprinkle flowers XDD
--------------
The following is the author's complaint, which can be skipped:
Obviously the CP set in the outline is Young Master→General An×Su Nan, but because Sunan does not appear for the time being, and because the author loves the Young Master more, the plot is now rushing towards Mega OTZ
In the end, the content that should have been written in three chapters was shortened to one chapter by me, and I was also drunk.
You should be able to guess who started the fire in Rome. www The author thinks that some characters in this chapter are seriously blackened.
--------------
After the Gaul volume, there will be two episodes, one is about the intersection of Gawain and Lancelot in the early years, and the other is about the history of the Holy Grail family. It will be about 4 chapters long, and then enter the main text of the Holy Grail volume.
The Holy Grail volume will be the last volume of the book. Mrs. Megana, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, is coming back. The author is a little excited XDD
Then try to let General Sadan, a professional soy sauce maker, come out to make soy sauce in the holy grail roll hhh
☆、Thirty Crosses and Roses in Intermission
"This glass of wine is a toast to our distinguished guests who have come from afar!" As the words fell, wine glasses were raised on both sides of the long table, and the mellow wine was drunk by the guests amidst joyful echoes.
This is a pleasant and grand reception dinner, the grand reason is that the guests are distinguished.That was the wife of King Lott of Northern England. She and a group of relatives from her natal family came to Gaul for vacation, and they were entertained by local distant relatives.
At this time, the so-called relatives with smiling but unfamiliar faces were sitting on the table with clear distinctions between superiority and inferiority, which made the queen's eldest son Gao Wen feel uninterested.Teenagers are supposed to be active. Even Kowen-Anthiros, who will be able to have a clear mind and a mirror-like mirror like a flat lake in the future, can't bear the seemingly endless politeness and drinking at this time.He urgently needs to go out to get some air now, and looking around quietly, he found that several cousins of the same age on the table also showed similar intentions.
So after the lengthy dinner party, several children of various ages did so tacitly.One of them said that he knew that there was a dark forest not far from the castle, which was very suitable for exploration, and this proposal immediately got everyone's approval.Gao Wen nodded along with them, thinking that as long as he had a place to go, it would be better than suffocating to death in the castle.
"I'm going too, brother," his five-year-old brother Gakhlis swore to him, "I won't hold you back."
You will, Gao Wen said in his heart without hesitation, looking at the short-handed and short-legged Gakhris.But he couldn't stand his younger brother's stalking, and several brothers were afraid of being discovered by adults after a long delay, so they urged him one after another, so he had no choice but to take Gakhris with him first.
The forest soon approached, and it was dark under the night, making people want to find out more and more.Several children polished the lampshade of the wind lamp in their hands, smiled at each other, and strode into the black forest as if they were more daring.Gao Wen originally entered with them, but the complex terrain and dark environment caused a lot of trouble for his tow bottle Gachris. Gao Wen had to wait for his younger brother before chasing his friends, and completely lost the adventure. fun of.
When he found out that the situation was not good, he couldn't find any trace of his friends.A subtle sense of fear crawled into his heart, Gao Wen yelled loudly several times, but they were all submerged in the layers of leaves and branches.For a moment, the two brothers seemed to be a lonely boat in the middle of the sea, with no land on all sides, and no one in the world.
After looking at each other on the spot for a while, Gao Wen decided to stop waiting indefinitely. "I'm going to look for them," he knelt down, trying to imitate the appearance of an adult and said to Gakhris, "you stay here and don't move, wait for me for a while, okay?"
"Well, okay." Gachris nodded obediently, showing no signs of fear at all (but Gao Wen suspected that he had already lost his mind).
In any case, the 10-year-old Kowen kid did the stupidest thing that night - he left his brother where he was, and went into the dark woods to find his lost brother.He didn't succeed, so he planned to turn around and look for Gachris again, but he couldn't find it anyway.The lighting was too dim, the terrain too unfamiliar, the scenery too repetitive, and he lost his way.
Now his pitifully small size was gone.He couldn't imagine what would happen to his younger brother if he got lost, and what kind of punishment he would receive.All kinds of terrifying possibilities rushed into his mind in an instant, and his legs became weak under the pressure of great fear, and his throat constricted for a while. "Gahris," he called in a tentative and suspicious voice, "where are you?"
No one answered, so his voice rose gradually, and his steps began to scatter, walking at first, then slowly running, wandering aimlessly among the trees.His entire body and mind were filled with the fear brought about by the incomparable silence at this moment.
Nervously tightened his stomach and intestines together, Gao Wen stopped and supported the tree trunk to pant, trying his best to restrain the desire to vomit.There was always a "what to do" echoing in his mind, and other than that it was blank, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure at all.Stress and fear made him on the verge of collapse, and he even had hallucinations, feeling that there were faint lights in the dark woods, and even Gachris' voice.
After resting against the tree trunk for a while, the feeling of stomach and intestines being twisted was relieved, and Gao Wen gradually realized that the lights and sounds did not seem to be his hallucinations.He could see clearly now, and he did feel a faint light among the trees.He tried to shout Gachris' name out loud with a somewhat hoarse voice, as before, without hope, but this time he heard the sound of response.He stood up abruptly.
Although he couldn't hear what the other party said, he was sure that someone was in the woods as far as his eyes could see and his voice could reach.
——As long as there are people!
He suddenly felt full of strength all over his body, and all his senses were sharpened, guiding him to trace the source of the light.This tracking is getting easier as the lights get brighter and brighter.When the lamp appeared in front of him, Gao Wen had the illusion that there was a small piece of daylight in the dark woods.
For a moment he thought he had seen a miracle.He saw that the one carrying the lamp was a child about his own age, with blond hair and wearing clean white clothes. He didn't know what was lit in the lamp, and it looked like a little sun in his hand.But that's beside the point.The point is, that girl—Gao Wen guessed it should be a girl—reached out to lead his precious brother Gachris!When Gao Wen saw Gakhris obediently following a strange stranger, he almost didn't collapse again.
"Gahris! You..."
He had just started talking when he was interrupted by "strange strange guy". "Are you his brother?" The voice of the question was very clear, which made Gao Wen more sure that the other party was a little girl.The little blond girl looked back and forth between the two of them twice, and answered her own question on her own: "It seems so, you two really look alike."
Gao Wen felt a little stuffy for some reason. "I'm his brother," he stretched out his hand somewhat unfriendlyly, "Gahris, you're back."
Gakhris gave him face very much, he broke away from the stranger's hand and stuck to his side, allowing Gao Wen to regain a bit of his dignity as an older brother.He pulled Gakhris behind him, and asked with some vigilance, "Who are you?"
The little girl shrugged her shoulders and answered irrelevantly: "Your brother was lost in the woods, and Dolores found him. Now she knows that you are anxious to find him, and sent me to bring him back."
Gao Wen was confused. "Who is Dolores?" he asked.
"My sister," said the little blond girl.
"How does she know everything?" Gao Wen asked again.
The other party was obviously taken aback.Then she replied in a strange way: "Dolores just...knows everything."
Gao Wen felt that he could not communicate with her at all, so he became more vigilant. "Well, I'm not interested in you," he said, staring at the other party hostilely, "I'm going back now, you are not allowed to follow me anymore!" After saying that, he pulled Gakhris up, turned and left.
When he was about to walk out of the small piece of daylight, the voice of the blond child sounded behind him, and there was no sign of anger, just asking in a normal way: "Do you know the way back?"
Govin paused. "You don't have to worry about it." He left the other side with a back of his head and said.
In fact, Gao Wen did not know the way back.He couldn't figure out what kind of state of mind he was in at the time and refused the other party's possible help.However, what was strange was that he and Gachris actually walked out of the woods that night without hindrance, and returned home safe and sound;But Gao Wen doesn't care much about this punishment anymore, compared to the worst outcome he ever imagined in a certain dark moment, being scolded is really insignificant.
A few days later, when reason came back to him again, Gao Wen couldn't help feeling that his attitude that night was really unreasonable.After all, no matter who the blond child and her so-called "sister" were, it was a fact that they helped themselves and Gakhris.At least I should thank them.However, at that time, my heart was completely occupied by fear, and I completely forgot what etiquette is.He felt it was a pity.
He also tried to ask his younger brother, who was calm from beginning to end: "Gahris, where are the two people who helped you that night live?"
Gakhris thought for a while, then announced in a crisp voice, "Avalon, that long-haired sister said it!"
Gao Wen thought he was referring to the child who carried the lantern that day, and she did have long golden hair.But he had never heard of this place, and he asked his elder cousin and his mother, and got no answer.So this matter had to be left alone, although Gao Wen felt that his faux pas was a pity, but he was powerless to make up for it, so he had to try his best to forget it.
■
At the age of 17, he set foot on the land of Gaul again, but he lost his leisurely holiday mood.The heavy armor was on his shoulders, and the fresh air and expression were cut off behind him—this is the battlefield, a place where everyone can truly be equal.
It turned out that two years ago, a king of Gaul was overthrown in a coup by his courtiers and was forced to flee. He used his mother's blood relationship to seek help from Queen Ismatha-Wessland of Scotland.The latter responded quickly, sending the first batch of troops to the battlefield less than a month later, and then sent several rounds of reinforcements one after another.This year, Ismasha united with other countries on the British Isle to form a multinational coalition force. Under her leadership, she crossed the sea to the European continent, preparing to solve the rebellion once and for all and usher in the return of the original dynasty.Gao Wen is in the reinforcements this time, as a soldier.
Ismasha stood tall in front of the chariot in a crimson dress, her upper body was covered with golden light armor, and her long silver hair fluttered like a banner in the wind; when she raised her spear, the gold-plated spearhead As if it could pierce the sun.Gao Wen thought of the Valkyries in pagan mythology. Compared with them, Ismasha had a little more wild fireworks.But her courtiers seemed to be accustomed to this, and Gao Wen couldn't help feeling that Scotland's martial arts complex was a little too dangerous.
In war, however, such a spirit is entirely salutary and harmless.Three months after Ismasha came, the rebellion subsided, the war ended, and the old king was restored.The king who had regained his authority naturally had to thank his cousin and the allies she brought.At the celebration banquet, the king, who was slightly drunk, was in a good mood. He waved his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, how should I thank you? I have priceless wealth and jewels. As long as you tell me, I will definitely do it for you."
Ismasha is also carrying
