Chapter 125 Eight Years (2)

Li Wei looked up and down at the eight tall horses driving in front of him, and was a little surprised that such a large carriage could barely install the huge round table.

"Is this what we are going to ship this time? But it's big! But it's packed so tightly that it won't do anything to see what it looks like." Latrus said carefully as he pondered the large package that was densely wrapped in sheepskin, and said with curious eyes.

Kai shrugged and said helplessly: "Who knows what it looks like! But, as a gift, its decoration should be very luxurious! By the way, Latrus, you should not touch it casually. Look at your clumsy appearance, be careful to break it. At that time, Uncle Kabu will not miss the opportunity to repair you like this."

As if he was shocked by electric shock, Latrus immediately retracted his hand on the huge package and said with some fear: "It's right. I'd better not be casual. Who knows if this thing will break if you touch it... But it's really strange, why did Commander Yuser give the round table to the Scots? I think if you give the silver, the Scottish lord would be happier. But if you give the table, even if it's made of pear blossom trees, what's the appeal?"

Li Wei glanced at the huge round table in front of him, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this Latrust. This round table has great knowledge. You think that the news about Commander Yuser's determination to be king in Britain is groundless? Once Commander Yuser becomes king, the first person who refuses to accept will be the people in the south. Haha, at that time, if the Scots cross the Great Wall of Hadrian, then we will be attacked from both sides. There are some special things to give gifts at this time."

"If you give money, of course the Scots will be happy, but we will have a lot of burden. Moreover, it is unknown whether they will be satisfied with such a little money. It is better to give some more obscure things to warn them." Li Wei said with a shaking head at the round table. That way, he would be short of a white feather fan. He could wear Zhuge Liang in this foreign country.

Latrus and the others are no longer surprised by this, because in the past 8 years, they already know that Li Wei has predictive ability. In every Knight training match, Li Wei can predict the enemy's lead every time. Li Wei's magical performance made Latrus and the others wonder if he had learned Merlin's predictive ability. However, every time Li Wei would say helplessly: "Please, if you really have that ability, I've gone to fortune telling long ago. Why are you still here? I'm calculating, calculating."

"So, why do you want to give a table?" Latrus asked with interest. Obviously, he was also very interested in Li Wei's words. Although the others also had their own answers in their hearts, they also wanted to verify it through Li Wei.

Li Wei touched his chin and said proudly: "Hehe, I think this should be a signal. As long as the Scots accept this table, it means that they are with us. Hehe, then they will have a symbol of the south. As long as Commander Yuser becomes king, they will not be able to turn against him. At that time, even if they want to rely on the southern faction, there will be no share. Moreover, in Scotland, they are not one-on-one. They also have resistanceists. As long as the Scots who are intimate with us accept the gifts, those resistances are enough to worry about them. At that time, we don't have to worry about them."

Bedwell frowned and said with some uncertainty: "Is that the case? If it is really like you said, why should I give a round table? The round table is a heretic for those Scottish people. I think if I really send a signal, I can give a square table..."

"Of course, that's just a guess from me, and I may not be true." Li Wei scratched his head and said indifferently, "I think the reason for sending the round table is because the round table symbolizes unity and equality. Commander Yuser should want those people to unite around us in Britain and become our close allies. And as reward, we give them equal status?" Afterwards, Li Wei was a little unconfident. After all, he had not had a deep contact with Yuser and the others, and did not understand what their plans were.

"That's great!" Alstori smiled and said excitedly, "In that case, our mission is still a very important task. I thought it was a difficult task. Nah, Li Wei, do you think the Scots would refuse to accept it?"

When Li Wei saw Alstori excited, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He turned his eyes and pretended to be careless, "I think it's not possible. How could the gift recipients push the gift givers out? What's more, although everyone in Britain now knows that Yuser is about to be king and Governor Constantine III is going to rebel, but that hasn't really happened after all. So, the Scottish people should not refuse. Because if they refuse, the cavalry brigade south of Hadrian's Wall is not a vegetarian."

"Ah? That's it..." After hearing a long sentence from Li Wei, Alstori said in disappointment, "I thought they would refuse to accept it... Then we can have a good fight with him at that time... directly beat them into pig's heads and let them accept the gift."

Speaking of it, Alstori's voice became fainter. It seemed that she knew that such a thing was not good. However, Li Wei still heard Alstori's violent declaration based on his keen hearing.

Li Wei swallowed, wiped the cold sweat that was unnaturally flowing from his forehead, and thought with fear: Why has Alstori's personality become more and more violent over the years? I clearly taught it according to the training method of the good loli, but the results did not seem to be significant. Moreover, in this way, it seems that my Light Genji cultivation plan failed.

Li Wei looked at Alstori's charming face and sighed silently, as if he was lamenting that his ability was not enough and he failed to let a loli go on the right path, and turned into a stubborn and violent otome.

"Li Wei, when will the war really break out?" At this time, Betina, who had been looking at Li Wei and the others, asked in a gentle voice, but with a strong sense of sorrow.

But when the other people who were already noisy heard this question, they were as if they were pressed by someone at the same time. They all stopped in an instant. They looked at Li Wei with some hope and some sorrow, as if they were looking forward to Li Wei's answer.

Li Wei was asked this by Betina and immediately calmed down. After all, he knew that his companions had been bothering about this matter for a long time. On the one hand, they hoped that the war would happen sooner so that they could achieve military merits for promotion. On the other hand, they were afraid that the war would bring them irreconcilable harm. Such ambivalence made them feel scared of the upcoming war.

Yes, everyone in the British knew that the war was about to happen. And it would be a war within Britain. The traces of the war began to be displayed eight years ago.

From the year when Li Wei and his friends entered the Knights' training camp, the entire sky over Britain was shrouded in the mist of war. First, it was the war with the Celtics in Wales. Originally, there were three powerful corpses in the Roman Empire stationed in Britain, but because of the seizure of power by Constantine III, two Roman legions stationed at the junction of the border between Britain and Wales were transferred to London. The original border guards were gone.

The Welsh people who had been suppressed by the Roman Corps took this opportunity to fight out of the mountains and forests of Wales and flock to the wealthy plains. However, the Governor of Constantine III in the south was indifferent to this and allowed the cruel Welsh people to rage in the south.

The nobles in the south originally tried to persuade Governor Constantine, but were bribed by his amnesty order. Constantine III allowed those nobles with huge wealth to recruit troops to deal with the invading Welsh people for some reason.

The nobles who had originally wanted to have further power accepted this suggestion, not only recruiting soldiers in their own territory, but also recruiting mercenaries from France. Soon, the Welsh attack was blocked. However, the private troops formed by this did not disperse, but were saved one by one.

However, the nominal Governor of Britain, Constantine III, ignored this. Instead, he won over those who had huge armies and agreed on their generous conditions.

At first, everyone didn't know why Governor Constantine III turned a blind eye to such separatist situations, but soon a saying spread. Governor Constantine III wanted to rebel! He wanted to gather more troops through this method to carry out major rebellion.

Although Constantine III denied this, he proved this statement with facts: from those years, he had been constantly detaining the food and grass of the Roman legions that were originally transported to France, and constantly increasing taxes in his territory to accumulate wealth.

Soon, everyone knew what he was thinking. Although the British nobles knew that Constantine III coveted the army in their hands and his rebellious intentions, they chose to remain silent on this. Not only did they not disband the army in their hands, but no one went to Rome to reflect Constantine III's rebellion plan. It seemed that all British nobles acquiesced to Constantine's plan.

Since those years, people with a little knowledge have known that war is about sooner or later, but no one knows what the war will be like at that time.

Although warlords had already occurred in southern Britain, they had not cut off the pawns of the Roman Empire, so the south was still the territory of the Roman Empire. However, because there were conflicts between the nobles, the war in the south often occurred.

However, the north maintained its previous stability because of a powerful figure like Yuser. Yuser was in charge of a Roman legion and a cavalry troop. Compared with the soldiers of the southern nobles who were of varying quality, Yuser's military strength was more professional and regular. Moreover, because he was close to Hadrian's Great Wall, he often dealt with the unruly Scots and Irish people, and Yuser's army was said to be elite soldiers of all wars.

Therefore, for a time, the nobles in the south were extremely concerned about Yuse. When a rumor appeared, the nobles in the south were even more jealous of Yuse. That is, the rumor that Constantine III would restore Yuse's throne to Britain. The reason why it was said was a rumor is that this statement had not been confirmed by the parties involved.

Although such rumors arose when Li Wei and his friends entered the knight training camp, because Constantine III's rebellion plan was not known by the southern nobles at that time, the southern nobles thought that even if Yu Se was restored to the throne, they would be a puppet king and could not be considered true.

But when Constantine III's intention to rebel was known, everyone instantly jealous of the throne that Yuser was about to obtain. Because it would be a king with real power. With the army, name and power in his hands, all the nobles of Britain would be ruled by Yuser.

The nobles in the south obviously did not want a person who was originally on par with them. They could do it for a moment. Moreover, when they had the army, they had already tasted the taste of power, and then they would not do it if they were nobles with only wealth.

If it weren't for the elite soldiers in Yuse's hands and the children who stayed in the Knights' training camp, the nobles in the south would have long since rushed to the north. However, because of the constraints of Constantine III, and because Yuse had only a daughter, and Yuse had not really been king, they still had the patience to wait.

However, no one knows when the patience of those nobles will disappear, nor whether the descendants of the southern nobles will remain in their current state after graduation. Therefore, everyone knows that war will come, but they don’t know when it will actually come.

However, Li Wei knew that others didn't know when the war would come. Because he had been calculating the time of that year, and he knew that such a time would not be wrong. Because it was calculated based on Alstori's age. Li Wei clearly remembered that in Alstori's 16 years old, it was when she drew out the sword in the stone and became king.

And Alstori's 16th birthday is still one and a half years away. Thinking of this, Li Wei also sighed, as if he felt the burden on his shoulders heavier.

"How is it? Li Wei. Can you tell us the exact answer?" Bettina said with some hope, "After all, they are going to graduate soon."

When Li Wei heard Betina talk about them, he knew that what she was talking about was Jika and the others. Although Jika and they were all descendants of southern nobles, they came to the Knight Training Camp at a wrong time. In the training camp, they became a group of people who were excluded. Even if the instructors were asked by Merlin to treat every child fairly and not to treat them differently because of their birth, they did not change Jika and their treatment.

In the Knights training camp, their meals were the worst among all Li Wei and others, while their chores were the most common among Li Wei and others. Even the teachers who taught them were the least experienced, and their tools for teaching were the most ragged among Li Wei and others.

There were several times when Li Wei and the others met Ji Ka and the others, but they almost couldn't recognize their appearance, because they were all tortured by those chores. And when they saw Li Wei and the northerners, their eyes always reflected hatred, as if everything was caused by Li Wei and the others.

And such a group of southern children who are unique and rejected are descendants of nobles with huge wealth. Whenever Li Wei thinks of this, he wishes that the instructors treat the children equally. Because he understands Meilin's meaning, the humiliation imposed on the northern children will one day be retaliated by them ten times.

However, even what a great magician like Merlin said was violated by Yang Fengyin, a soldier in the Knight Training Camp. Li Wei knew that even he would not have any effect on it. So he had to watch the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the children from the south continued to sprout.

"Maybe they go back, and they may immediately encourage their fathers to attack the north!" Li Wei said sadly, "Maybe our opponent, the campmates we train here,"

Latrus and the others were silent when they heard Li Wei's words. After all, they also knew the sufferings that the southern children suffered in the Knights Training Camp. If it were them, they would probably do that too!

"In other words, when they go back, it will be the beginning of the war?" Betina looked at Li Wei and said seriously.

Li Wei nodded, but shook his head again, "If they go back, it will definitely change the situation, but will it immediately prompt the war to happen? Only God knows. By the way, Betina, why are you doing so much about these things?"

Betina said a little sad, but helplessly: "Because my father is in Nottingham, which is the transition zone between the south and the north. If a war breaks out, I think my father and the others will be affected..."

Li Wei was silent after hearing this. After all, he didn't know how to comfort Betina. After all, such a thing was far away from him. Apart from reading the cruelty of war in the book, he didn't know what impact the war would have.

Bedwell looked at Betina who was frowning and sighed, "Although my father also mentioned such a question in his letter to the family, he just told us not to worry about this matter and said that he would handle it well. But..."

After hearing this, Betina bit her lower lip and frowned, as if she was thinking about something important. After a good news, she said to Li Wei quietly: "Li Wei. Can you promise me something?"

"Ah? What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." Li Wei looked at Betina strangely and said.

Betina secretly glanced at Li Wei and said carefully: "I think if there is war in my family, can you go back with us and help us solve the problem?"

"Uh? This... you look down on me too much. Do you really think I can do anything?" Li Wei was startled by Betina's request. After all, he was not so arrogant. He thought that he could become a qualified commander after staying in the Knights Training Camp for 8 years.

But seeing Betina's hopeful look, Li Wei still didn't want to say the words of rejection, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "If I could go then, I would definitely go." But if I help you too much, I won't blame me...

Betina, who didn't know Li Wei's little nine, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Li Wei agreeing. She secretly looked at Alstori and found that there was nothing unusual about her. She couldn't help but smile a victoriously.

Bedivir looked at Li Wei, then looked at the strange smile on his sister's face. He seemed to understand something, but he didn't say much, but just walked to Li Wei, silently patted Li Wei's shoulder, and said concisely: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Wei looked at Bedevier for no reason, as if he didn't understand why he said such a thing. Could it be hard to make a promise? Li Wei felt inexplicably and was about to ask something, but Bedevier did not give him this opportunity. He quickly rode his beloved horse and soon jogged forward.

Seeing Bedwell's handsome appearance, Li Wei couldn't help but wipe his nose and said to everyone who was thinking about it: "Okay, let's talk about it here. Let's set off now! Complete the task early, graduate early, go home early, and find your own mother, bah... bah, the last sentence is just pretending that I have never said anything." After accidentally, Li Wei let it go and said everything he shouldn't have said.

However, such a slip of tongue caused everyone to chuckle. After all, Li Wei was not wrong. They have been in the Knight Training Camp for so many years, and they have never been home once, and they have only contacted each other by letter. They also hope to go home and see those long-lost figures.

With a chuckle, everyone swept away their previous uneasiness about the future, returned to their relaxed and happy mood, and stepped onto their mounts and drove the carriage north of Hadrian's Great Wall.

Soon, they met other figures who also performed graduation tasks together, and after greeting Li Wei and the others politely, they continued to move forward. After all, Li Wei and the others were very popular in the Knight Training Camp, especially Li Wei. When others knew that he was Meilin's disciple, they became more deliberately friendly with him, while Li Wei refused everyone and established good relationships with others, because he knew that good popularity would help him, the rootless duckweed, gaining a foothold in this world.

"Well, this is already the third batch." Latrus said counting his fingers, "I wonder if we will meet other people we wouldn't meet in Knights' Training Camp?"

"Yeah? People you don't meet in the Knights Training Camp?" Kai asked in confusion, "This is unlikely! Although we usually have different classes, we usually encounter them when we eat and fight. It can be said that even if we always hide in the dormitory and don't come out, we will encounter them."

"That's right. Over the past few years, we have met all the people in the same class as us." Alstori took the conversation and said, "I have personally tried them one by one! Is there anyone I haven't competed with?"

After hearing Alstori's words, Li Wei couldn't help but remember the scene where Alstori held the wooden sword and went to find someone to fight. That was when they just entered the camp. Everyone in the team was troubled by Alstori's daily sword training, while Li Wei thought of a way, which was to ask Alstori to challenge others.

The silly Alstori also felt that training with Li Wei and others was a bit boring, so he accepted the proposal and happily went to fight with the same trainees. Soon, the title of "Golden Lion" was circulated among Li Wei and others' trainees, and Alstori was also elected as one of the people he was least willing to face.

However, because of this, Alstori also fought with all the people in the Knights training camp. She was born with a ability to make friends with others. Therefore, except for the group of people in the south, Alstori was the only person in Li Wei's team who was better than Li Wei's popularity.

Latrus shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "Although you have a good reputation and know many people from Knight Training Camp, you must have never seen that person."

"Impossible." Alstorie said angrily, "I have seen everyone. There are no people I don't know in the Knights training camp."

"Hehe, I don't believe it anymore." Latrus smiled, "Have you seen Miss Mones?"

When Alstori heard this, his tone was stuttering, and he seemed to not know how to answer this question. Li Wei, who was beside him, was also surprised by the name.

Indeed, no one had seen that person. Li Wei thought of it secretly and began to think of Monis in his mind. The person who was said to be Yuser's adopted daughter had never appeared in the eyes of Li Wei and others in the past eight years. Because she was eating and teaching, she was special. The place where she lived and taught was also far away from Li Wei and others, and she was guarded very strictly.

Moreover, except for some specially selected people, who can occasionally go to Monis to attend classes together, no one is allowed to get close to her place.

Sometimes, when Li Wei saw Mones' guarding place, he felt that Yuser was too partial, because he had never seen Yuser send someone to protect Alstori, and he even sometimes wondered whether Alstori was his biological child.

It is precisely because of such mysterious protection that Monis, who lives in the Knight Training Camp, has become one of the "seven unverifiable secrets" of the Knight Training Camp.

Will you meet her this time? Yuse's adopted daughter? Li Wei squinted his eyes and thought.
