Chapter 161
Aunt Lef took Ruth away, and the tranquility of the night was restored to the scene.
But the look she looked at herself before leaving made Charles feel very uneasy.
A gust of evening breeze blew, and the soulless daube and the lifeless daube swayed in the wind.
Aunt Alto looked at the real person in front of her, and the expression on her face was extremely awkward.
Artoria gave her a knightly salute, "Thank you for your care for Charles and Mordred during this time."
"You'd better call me my name. My name is Marcy." Aunt Marcy scratched her head a little embarrassedly, but she didn't know what to say next.
Just like in many works, the police always come late after finishing their work.
At this time, the loud and loud horn sounds in Mason City resounded through the sky.
Charles had heard his neighbors talk about the difference between the horns of the army in the Kingdom of Biberach. Now it sounds like the one who blows the horns is the imperial guards belonging to the kingdom.
"It's lively now." Charles said in the direction of the port.
Different lengths and short sounds in the army form a horn sound that expresses different meanings. For a time, the horn sounds representing "receive the enemy", "fight" and "end of battle" came from various places in the city.
The horn sound of "receiving the enemy" sounded almost at the same time in the city, and soon after, the horn sound of "the battle ended" sounded one after another. It can be heard from the intervals of the horn sound that the battle time that occurred during the period was very short, and the sound of "reinforcement needed" never sounded.
"It seems that the Imperial Guards are prepared?" Charles said strangely.
"Of course." Artoria replied.
"Huh?" Charles looked at Artoria curiously, but she just smiled without saying a word, and did not answer Charles's words.
Soon, Tonio and the others also arrived. Charles' call for help was so loud that they could hear it from afar.
When they arrived, they greeted Charles, and then watched Artoria and Marcy who were chatting.
Three human-shaped dragons wearing purple and black armor were also here.
They walked to Nesalio's side, saluted him and reported the results of the action tonight.
Soon, a series of horns rang out from the house where Charles and theirs lived during this period, and then Charles walked to Marcy.
"Aunt Marcy," Charles said to her, "and someone asks you later, and you say you are Artoria's sister, Marcy Polkronskaya, and you acted as my instructions this time."
"Ah?" Marcy said at a loss, "Master..."
"It's okay," said Artoria, "Just listen to him, this will save a lot of trouble, otherwise it will cause him trouble."
Seeing Marcy still standing there, Charles said, "Do you want to be her mother?"
Then he pulled Modred, pointed at Marcy and said, "Call me quickly."
Artoria nodded to Modred from the side.
With Modred's "aunt", Artoria, who is over 300 years old, has an older sister who is three hundred years younger than her.
Then Modred pulled Artoria's clothes, and Artoria squatted down and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Are you sure?" Artoria asked Mordred.
Modred nodded affirmatively.
Then a silver sword appeared in Artoria's hand, which was given to Mordred by the great fairy.
Modred took the long sword and handed it to Marcy, "Auntie, this is for you."
At this time, Marcy was holding the long sword bought at the auction, but this sword was covered in bruises by Ruth in the battle just now, not far from being scrapped. If it weren't for the powerful sword, Marcy would have been cold now.
Just as Marcy refused, a sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and a team of cavalry from the Imperial Guard surrounded the people here.
However, everyone didn't care about this. After Nasalio simply said to Artoria, "I'll come to play with you later", he took the other three dragons to transform into dragon form at the same time and flew away directly.
The Imperial Guards were stunned for a while, and their commander rode forward a few steps, pointed at the crowd and shouted: "Who is pretending to be Earl McGarden, stand up quickly, or I will do it!"
?Baga?Baga?????
A crow, who was frightened by the dragons, was about to fly away from this place, flew over the heads of everyone.
These people look at me, look at you, and then shake their heads at the same time to indicate that there is no such person you are talking about.
Finally, Charles came out to resolve the silence. He waved to the officer of the Imperial Guard who looked similar to the bear on the horse, "Xiong Da, why are you here?"
The officer who Charles called "Big Big Bear" was stunned for a moment, and he asked in disbelief: "Why are you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Charles asked back.
It was easy to do when you met an acquaintance. Along the way, Charles roughly explained what happened to him during this period, and Marcy also took the opportunity to fool him.
Now that Mason City is martial law, there are troops transporting ships in the port area, and then these imperial guards occupy all the key points of Mason City as planned.
A gorgeous and huge tent was set up on the original cargo yard in the port area, and the knights of the Knights of the Wang Family Order were stationed around it.
On the way toward the tent, Charles saw teams of guard soldiers escorting prisoners into and out of the huge tent.
Except for Charles taking Artoria to the tent to report, everyone else went to rest first.
After entering the tent, Charles was surprised to find that Rose, the second princess of the Biberach Kingdom, had actually come. She was sitting behind a table, with Elizabeth drinking tea and an elderly priest wearing a blue robe who was closing her eyes and resting.
Rose's face was full of fatigue, and she asked Charles to sit down in the empty seat in front of the table, with a stack of parchment paper and quills in front of the seat.
She said to Charles: "Charles, although you are very tired, you can't rest. Now you need to write down what has happened in the past few days."
Then she snorted coldly, "These people are so bold that they dare to find someone to pretend to be nobles."
After hearing Rose circle the key points, Charles began to write his own confession with understanding.
It is not a sin to hype crystals at all, and things like colluding with demons should not be mentioned on the table. Therefore, the real crime of the dealers this time is to find someone to pretend to be aristocrats.
In class society, this crime is not overwhelmed. Judging from the history of the nobles around Mason City for many years, this time the royal family did not remove these counts and marquises, and their minds were replaced by Slime.
Charles spent a lot of time writing down his experiences these days, focusing on the beginning of Lorenzo's attempt to pretend to be a nobleman.
He asked while writing, "Your Highness, why are you here in person?"
"Hmph..." Rose snorted again, "Do you think Bud really needs me to accompany him in marrying Susie?"
Charles paused and then quickly figured it out.
It seems that the royal family has discovered that something is wrong with Mason City. After all, hype crystals requires a lot of pre-contact and preparation, and the dealers are obviously showing their mistakes, and then the royal family makes a series of preparations.
Charles naturally didn't know about the open and secret struggles and intrigues behind this, and Elizabeth was obviously deeply involved in this matter.
Judging from the current situation, the two princesses have clearly reached some kind of agreement.
But this kind of thing is only mentioned in history books, and real details will only appear in the internal textbooks of the royal family.
If Charles wanted to know, he could only find an opportunity to ask Elizabeth for advice.
After writing the "confession" as Rose asked, Charles pressed a wax seal on each piece of parchment paper with his own right ring.
The old priest opened his eyes, took the parchment paper he had written by Charles, and then stamped a seal with his magic technique.
At this time Elizabeth said goodbye to Rose and the old priest, and she took Charles out of the tent.
She said to Charles, "Let's go, let's move the gold coins."
