[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

Chapter 294: Horse Monkey Shochu 010

King Uther died in the spring of the second year.

The earth began to recover just after the first rain, and Shelley watched a light yellow green emerge from the bare branches.She flew to the tree and looked at it for a long time. She smiled and felt that she had become more energetic.

Everyone was having lunch when they received the news. Eckert was taken aback when he heard it, and put down the knife in his hand.

"Camelot is going to be messed up." He looked at Shelley, "Merlin, you..."

"Wait," said Shelley, "it's not the time yet."

Eckert looked at Shelley and nodded.

This news has no effect on Kai and Arthur, or the turmoil in the situation is nothing to the two little devils.The only feeling is that the knight uncles in the nearby territories have become more domineering,? Some people ran nearby to beg for a new place to live.

Eckert is very embarrassed, because rashly accepting residents of other territories is likely to lead to conflicts.The flow of residents is not only the flow of people, but also related to the food that can be harvested in the territory.

He had received word that neighboring lords had increased their taxation and seemed to want to establish themselves as kings.

It's so easy to be king in this day and age.

As long as one has a lot of land and money, one can claim to have created a nation by building a decent castle.Although it is relatively simple to declare, it is difficult to hold the land, plus a series of things such as taxation and diplomacy. Only a country that can operate for more than 10 years can be called a wise king.

There is a lot of land and money in this world,? But Mingjun doesn't often have it.

Shelley was very disdainful of these guys who were ready to move after Uther's death, because even if these people claimed to be kings on one side of the separatist regime, they would still return what they took from others in the end.

And you have to pay a lot of interest.

"I don't think they're good at all."

Arthur ran to Shelley one day when he was playing, and sat down: "They said they would be loyal to the king, but now they have disobedience when the king just passed away. They don't have the code of chivalry in their hearts, only themselves desires."

Shelley took him into her arms and comforted him.

"So, external constraints can only be temporary,? Self-restraint is more important." The silver-haired girl talked about the lord next door who has declared himself a king: "And you must have a brain."

Arthur thought about it, a little confused.

"You see, the person who wants to do this is not the first." Shelley simply drew a few squares to represent different territories: "Here are us, here are neighbors, and here are neighbors of neighbors. If neighbors and neighbors of neighbors They all want to be kings, but the neighbors who live there take no action because they care about their own reputation, and at this time the neighbors announce that they want to establish a state, so what will happen?"

"Neighbors of neighbors will attack neighbors," Arthur said, "but even if they win the battle and gain fame, they still...are not kings?"

"But he got a large new piece of land, as well as the people on the land." Shelley merged the two pieces of land: "He will have double the money and a good reputation. Although he still hasn't established himself However, his strength has been improved, and the benefits he got can temporarily slow down his idea of ​​​​building a country—after all, if he gets the land and immediately builds a country, then his good reputation is gone, and Eckert can Go and attack him. Your father is a brave knight, and his soldiers are also brave and good at fighting. It's not that he can't fight, but he doesn't like to fight all the time. Besides, Eckert is a knight loyal to King Uther. Once he moves Come to think of it, it must be a famous teacher."

"So... the neighbor's neighbor suffers everywhere."

Xuelai laughed and kissed him.

"Arthur is so clever."

That's the truth.

Although after the death of King Uther, there were some short-sighted guys who declared themselves kings, but they were annexed by other nobles almost immediately.For a few years Camelot operated in a kind of vacuum at the top, but with an eerily balanced sub-level.

Iglein still lived in the castle in the royal city without worrying about food and clothing, and married his youngest daughter, and then lived a life of daily prayer.

Shelley felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that, and sighed.

"Is the teacher sympathizing with the queen?"

Arthur, who had already grown a lot, began to have the style of a knight, but at the moment he leaned on the railing in a very inconspicuous manner, and picked up a small biscuit to eat: "I also think that after the death of the king, the queen lives alone in the castle. It’s really pitiful that I can’t remarry and can’t live with my children for a long time.”

"Don't let your father hear this sentence."

Shelley glanced at him, stretched out his hand to straighten his front: "You didn't eat like this when you were young."

"I didn't have so many things when I was young."

The young Arthur stretched his waist: "Father asked me to go to the border with my brother, because Sundred has recently started to suffer from famine again-why do they suffer from famine every year? Did they offend some fairy?"

"It's not that Kanan refused to accept our kindness and insisted on planting corn." Shelley sighed in the palm of his hand: "I told him that this year's severe cold should be a variety of cold-resistant grains. It's hard to die by yourself." It's still the people under my hand."

"Father said that many people have fled from the famine, almost from one village to another." Arthur leaned over and said, "Some people fled from Kanan's territory to the other lords of Sundred and were sent away." When they came back, they were executed by Kanan in public. So now, all those fleeing from famine came to Camelot——according to reports, many people froze to death on the mountain, and almost all those who escaped were young and middle-aged.”

This weather is indeed the case.

It had just snowed two days ago, and when Shelley looked at it from the height of the castle, he couldn't see any other colors, it was all white.She is extremely cold now, and she must hold the heater in her hand at all times, otherwise she feels that her paws will freeze.

"A group of worthless guys, they left the women in the village and crawled over." Shelley was very contemptuous: "As a result, there will be another group of unstable guys on the border."

Arthur couldn't listen to this sentence: "It's cruel. It's hard to find a way out, so it's not like the teacher said that, although it's true to leave women and children behind."

Shelley gave him a sideways look, and the blond boy begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, sir. I will deal with this group of people, and I am also very worried whether there will be any spies who will support Kanan."

"Don't let Kai know, this guy can't take it."

Shelley shivered, "Why is it so cold?"

"The snow has melted."

Saying so, Arthur put the cloak that Iglein had given Shelley on her body from the room, and hugged her from behind by the way.

"How is it, is it warmer, teacher?"

"It's okay, but I can't breathe."

Arthur let go of her and hung on to her.

"It will take about half a month to go this time, and I feel irritable when I think of leaving the teacher."

"I solemnly warn you, you are no longer a 5-year-old kid." Shelley saw Kai coming back on a horse, and waved to him: "Enough is enough to act like a baby. Speaking of which, why does Kai always run out recently? "

"He fell in love with a lady from the next door." Arthur said: "Miss Staci, the blonde and blue-eyed, often went out to see the scenery with him recently, and then the two of them stood around the fire with snot and tears." Build a fire and talk about life."

"..." Shelley couldn't help laughing: "Look at him, and then at you. Although Kai is a little simple, he is really likable."

"That depends on who you recruit." Arthur rolled his eyes when he heard the tone: "Miss Staci, who likes to indulge in romantic affairs every day, forget it, and her father is very annoying."

Sir George Starkey was originally a neighbor's neighbor, and after annexing the neighbor, he began to subtly become arrogant.Every year at the gathering, he would arrogantly boast how prosperous his territory was, and except for Eckert, a good-tempered guy, other jazz were unwilling to pay attention to him.

"Don't put the emotion of disliking her father on her, it's not good."

Arthur stuck out his tongue: "When you buy a pig, you also need to look at the pigsty. Isn't that what the teacher said?"

Shelley turned around and slapped him: "Maybe Kay will propose to her in the future, so you talk about your future sister-in-law's family?"

"Is it possible to make a difference?"

The young man stroked his hair: "Father went to the east today, and he should have come back by now, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Father sent a letter saying that he was left by the farmer for dinner, and that he would bring back the mutton and pork sent by others in the evening." Kai took off his hat: "I just met them at the gate of the city, so I sent them back. It's over. Arthur, you're clinging to Merlin again."

"The teacher didn't say anything, but brother, you complained a lot."

Arthur said, "How about today's date?"

Kai was caught off guard, with a dazed look on his face, and then Lian blushed suddenly: "Wh, what a date! No date!"

"How's Miss Starkey?"

Shelley rubbed her hands, gossiping: "The last time I saw her was two years ago, is she more beautiful?"

"Uh……"

Kai took two steps back: "Yeah, that's it, nothing special."

The short-haired little knight turned around and ran away: "Arthur, I'm not finished with you, let's see how I deal with you after I go to the border!"

The little golden retriever hanging on Shelley stuck out his tongue again, with a look of "what will you do to me".

Shelley pulled him down and patted his face.

"You have to pay attention to your safety this time. I think Kanan is going to make a big deal this year." She became serious: "Otherwise I will be with you this time..."

"The archmage is not in the castle, so it's going to make people panic."

The young knight laughed: "I can deal with that guy even if he wants to do something bad. After all, I have been thinking about how to kill him for almost ten years, teacher."

"You haven't actually fought yet."

Shelley was still worried.

"But I have gone from being chased and beaten by the teacher to crying, and now I don't cry." Arthur blinked playfully: "Don't worry, teacher."

Shelley pursed her lips, still feeling uncertain.But Arthur picked up his clothes and left without any explanation, and sighed before leaving.

"Dolly's fur is really warm."

"..."

Dolly had died a few years ago, and Arthur was weeping and stroking its fur, and after crying he asked Shelley if he could give him Dolly's fur for the lining of his coat.Shelley felt that something was wrong at the time, and later thought that this brat had been playing Dolly's idea all the time, and he wanted to squeeze the last bit of value from him even after he died.

This is King Arthur, this is obviously a vampire capitalist.

And through this incident, the wool weaving business was developed in the territory.

Shelley was a little uncertain about this early-emerging industry, but the system said it should be fine, so she let it go.

"Speaking of which, Dolly has a lamb raised on the border, and it seems to have given birth to quite a few." Arthur put on his helmet: "How about I bring one back?"

"Just bring yourself back."

Shelley put it this way: "Be safe."

Arthur nodded again and again, and finally kissed Shelley on the cheek as usual.

"I'm leaving."

The author has something to say: I found that no one left me any more messages, crying
