[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

Edith has never been a deserter for anything, but this time, faced with an important choice that affects both her personal and national destiny, she flinches.When everyone was still asleep in the early morning of the next day, she packed her luggage and left quietly through the back door of the castle with her blind cane.

Relying on the sound of her blind cane and her superior hearing, she went all the way and successfully reached the Beaver Dam at noon.

"Mr. Erwin, I'm here to thank you." Mr. Squirrel recognized Editia's voice and opened the wooden door for her.He saw the girl constantly groping around the tree hole with her hands, as if she was very afraid of bumping into him, and felt a little strange.

"Long time no see, Miss Archenland.—Is there anything wrong with your legs?"

Edith shook her head and sat on the floor cautiously: "I have some problems with my eyesight...but it's nothing serious." She took out the new medal in her pocket and handed it to the direction where the squirrel was, "This is the medal I gave you. Thank you, you don't know how much you've done me."

The squirrel looked up at the thing for a moment, then quickly pushed her palm back: "This is too precious, enough to buy several mountains of biscuits, I can't accept it."

"I have other things to trouble you," Edith said hastily, "I want to live nearby, and I hope you can help me choose a site."

"Are you alone? Settled in Narnia?" Erwin was obviously taken aback.

Edith nodded seriously: "Yes.... I actually worked in Cair Paravel a while ago, and I had to leave because of eye problems recently. But I have saved a lot of salary, which is enough to support myself for a while."

……

In the end, Erwin did not accept Edith's gold medal.The enthusiastic Mr. Squirrel settled her in the house of Melinda, the peach tree spirit by the stream. Other than that, the two lived together smoothly.

Edith lived in fear every day hiding in the forest-she didn't know how Edmund would react when she found out that she was dating, and she was indeed very guilty.But she would rather be misunderstood and despised by Edmund than the more serious consequences of revealing her identity and causing disputes.

In Cair Paravel Castle, Lamandra is using many harsh methods to force some soft-spoken staff to obey his orders.Different from Taylor's instigated seduction, his method is more direct and bold, but because the men are vicious and deterrent, the results are not much worse than Taylor's.

The Supreme King was still struggling to pick out the terms of trade for greater benefits, and never thought that the signing of the treaty was just a cover used by the Calormenes to cover up their conspiracy; the Gentle Queen was busy thinking about how to escape gracefully under Tyro's stalking, Recently, I have no time to take into account the changes that have taken place inside the castle; as for the most perceptive and suspicious Justice King, he has been overwhelmed by the court affairs accumulated for the settlement of Edith and the voyage a few days ago, and he failed to discover the secret alliance between Ramanzo and Taylor in time; on the contrary. It is Lucy, the heroic queen, who discovers something strange in the castle.

"Miss Water?" Lucy, who was changing clothes before going to bed, called her close partner softly, "You brought me two tops...no pants."

The water spirit girl was distracted from her thoughts, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Queen." She hurried back to the closet to find matching clothes for Lucy again.

"You have been absent-minded for the past two days." The girl said with concern, "Have you encountered any problems? There is no need to hide it from me."

Miss Shui brought out the changed clothes, slapped her long eyelashes a few times and said softly, "I haven't encountered any problems, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

After she finished her daily work and took the door to leave, the queen lowered her head and unfolded the pajamas in her hands to change.But she soon discovered that the new pajamas she brought were the ones she had just asked the other party to eliminate the day before yesterday—she had grown taller this year, and her trouser legs had become shorter and she could no longer wear them.

"What's going on with Miss Shui..." The girl frowned and muttered, so she had no choice but to get up and pull out a new set of clothes.

·

Sure enough, Justice Wang, who had been waiting for Edith for half an hour in the duty room of the Intelligence Bureau in the evening, was let go.At first, he just thought that Edith might be a little embarrassed, so he had to go back to the front hall to do other things; but when he finished all the tasks for the day and went to the soldiers' dormitory, and was about to do ideological work on her again, he ran into her in a hurry. Friel: "Everything in the compass dormitory is gone!"

Edith was an executive on weekdays, and she always followed the wishes of her superiors—she never did anything out of the ordinary (except for the time Lucy instigated her), and she would submit a letter of resignation before leaving.Edmund did not expect that this time she would leave so unexpectedly, leaving him with a lot of trouble.

"She didn't say hello to you?" King Justice frowned thickly.

"I, Qiu Shui, Blood Moon... None of us know about it. I was hoping that maybe you would know..." Furuier was a little desperate, "She can't see anything, where can she go?"

King Justice was almost about to curse again.He barely suppressed the distress in his chest, and said to Furuier: "Leave this matter to me... Rest assured, don't affect your work."

·

"The king's vanguards really deserve their reputation. As a part of Narnia, I, Dorne, must not fall behind. When I go back, I will tell them to train hard..."

On the training ground of the Imperial Guards of the castle, King Justice and Lord Taylor were strolling leisurely.Edmund didn't like the Lord of the Lonely Island who was sticking to the castle so stubbornly, and ignored his praise of the Narnia army.The so-called showcasing the strength of the army is just a formality - not to mention that he has always believed that Taylor has no ambiguity towards Narnia; even if the opponent is the monarch of an independent island country, he will never have the strength to invade Narnia On the big country: After all, the total population of their island is not comparable to the number of marine soldiers in the Cair Paravel Military District.

The captains of the two castle guard squads are exchanging martial arts with spears.The two youths were both tall centaurs, one with black hair and the other with yellow hair, standing vigorously at both ends of the competition track.

"This is a unique Narnia fighting method, Jousting." The Justice King explained professionally, "The lances and armor used in jousting are different from the actual combat styles to ensure the safety of soldiers. The gun head Cup-shaped or crown-shaped, the gun body is made of poplar wood that is hollow or easily broken, and the left breast armor also has a specially strengthened metal plate to resist impact. During the competition, the two sides galloped head-on, and the first to be picked off the horse failed; for special , Soldiers who are united with horses and soldiers, the judgment rule becomes that the one who hits the opponent's vital point first wins."

During the conversation, the two warriors were already running vigorously from the starting point with their spears/spears.As the distance between the two got closer and closer, the onlookers also held their breath, for fear of missing the tenth of a second of the decisive victory.

The yellow-haired warrior was taller, with longer arms and longer hands, so logically speaking, he had an advantage; but the black-haired warrior was nimble and dodged well, constantly adjusting the angle of his gun, and finally successfully shot when the two of them crossed their bodies. The opponent's armored left chest.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden gun heads shattering, heart-pounding cheers resounded from the crowd of soldiers watching the battle.

"Wonderful!" Tai Luo clapped his hands and shouted, "This kind of competition is really rare."

Just as King Justice was about to show some courtesy and humility, the Supreme King and another tall man suddenly appeared from the other side of the runway.

"It's really wonderful!" Prince Ramanjo's rough voice was accompanied by his clear and loud applause, which spread far and wide in the crowd.

"I didn't expect that we would meet at the tournament venue." The Supreme King approached with a smile in his eyes, nodding his head to Lord Tai Luo with dignity and restraint.

Of course, the tactful Tai Luo could also accept the courteous reception from the Supreme King, and bowed gracefully to the monarch: "Your Majesty."

If the royal etiquette on the side of the Supreme King and Tai Luo went smoothly, then the side of the Justice King and La Manzhuo was just the opposite.Edmund has always been unwilling to give the Calormenes a good face, after all, he was the one who personally fought the opponent's navy, and he had also seen Utus's ugly face when he insulted Susan; Apparently, he did not approve of the governing form of the four rulers of Narnia on an equal footing, and believed that the status of the Justice King was actually the same as that of the Prince, so naturally he did not want to lower his figure to salute each other.

"Your Excellency is really dignified and lives up to your reputation." Edmund was too lazy to divide the ranks into the upper and lower ranks like a big brother and a big sister, and took the lead in breaking the deadlock with his best praise technique.As for the praise of Justice King, anyone who has dealt with him knows that there are often some inexplicable irony and jokes, but the proportion varies according to the occasion.

Lamanzhuo has a bold and unruly personality, and when he encounters problems, he is ignorant of the big and the small. He didn't read what the King of Justice said, and laughed: "You are younger than I thought, King Edmund."

Among the four people, except for La Manzhuo and Edmund, who met for the first time, the others had more or less contact with each other.Tai Luo and La Manzhuo looked at each other, and both raised the corners of their mouths deeply.

In the solitude that was a bit cold, Taylor, who had the lowest status, suddenly said: "Since we have come to the arena of Cair Paravel, we can't be disappointed—we might as well try twice together, do you have this kindness? ?”

The Supreme King did not expect him to come this way.The meeting of the four of them was unexpected. If an impromptu contest was suddenly arranged, the hidden choices thrown to each of them would be complicated.But there was no emotion on his face, and he kept a calm smile: "As the hosts, Brother Wang and I will naturally not refuse."

Edmund's soul still remained on the court and Edith, and he had no interest in this kind of contest where it was impossible to truly show his strength.Although he wanted to curse Peter for his excessive generosity, he refrained from doing so because of the overall situation.

La Manzhuo didn't know what tricks his allies were going to perform, but at least he had full confidence in his martial arts, so he agreed.

"If we use the method of fighting on horseback, it will appear to be bullying the foreign guests." Peter led everyone to the weapon rack, "It's better to use the traditional method and skip the horseback riding."

Several attendants brought the four suitably-fitting armors. Except for King Justice who insisted on arming himself, the other three readily accepted the attendant's help.

It was midsummer, and the foreheads of several men who were bored in the heavy iron armor were all sweaty. The Supreme King came to the center of the competition round platform first, and pulled out the Supreme Sword: "The weather is too hot, we have to fight quickly."

La Manzhuo came across from Peter with a double-headed ax in hand: "It's a great honor to compete with His Majesty."

Raman Zhuo was nearly forty years old, but his fighting power remained the same as before. He swung a heavy ax and fought to a draw with the Supreme King who was at the peak of his physical fitness.Not only that, but he also had the leisure to play tricks, which won warm applause from the onlookers.

Peter is always accumulating energy.He retreated to advance, luring the opponent to attack with more energy, intending to consume the opponent's physical strength as much as possible, and win in the protracted battle.

Edmund, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw it clearly, and his thoughts under the armor could not help but fly away again.He really didn't have the energy to find Edith now - he didn't even know where in Narnia she might be.The elite soldiers under him are all used to guard the frontier and face the war. They are not used by the overqualified to alarm many residents in the woods, just to search for a blind girl who fled the castle.

"It's your turn." The outgoing Supreme King slammed the armor on his left shoulder.Edmund hastily drew his sword and stepped onto the arena, and saw that waiting for him with two swords was Tyro, the Lord of Dorne.

"We should give them some rest time." Taylor glanced at the two people who had just left the field, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a standard and false arc.

The two, who had their own concerns, retained their strength and fought fiercely for 8 minutes without pursuing a clear outcome.Edmund deflected the fierce attack from his left wrist, and said in a deep voice, "I don't seem to be the opponent you want."

The dagger in Tai Luo's right hand quickly added, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of His Majesty the Justice King."

Edmund calmly parried, and the sound of metal impacts clanging, making a pleasant crisp sound.The onlookers in the audience couldn't read the doorway between the two, but felt that the moves were gorgeous and eye-catching, and everyone applauded.

"Maybe we should stop in time and prepare for your next invitation."

Taylor understood, and both sides took two steps back at the same time, ending in a friendly draw.

As expected, Tai Luo, who walked off the arena panting slightly, walked up to Ramanjo and bowed deeply to him: "Prince Ramanjo, I have been looking forward to fighting with you for a long time."

Edmund pulled off his helmet aside and looked at the two people who were full of fire/powder.There have long been rumors in the palace that the two are at odds, but only seeing the two of them fighting with their own eyes today can they know whether it is true or not.He saw Peter also take off his helmet, standing at the best viewing point, his blue eyes thoughtful.

Both brothers were looking forward--they wanted to prove that the simultaneous visits of the Lord of Dorne and the Prince of Calormene were just a coincidence.The more fierce the fight between the two, the more at ease they felt.
