February 20, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
14:41 pm.
The third day when Su Cheng and others went to Kailuoer's hometown.
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Baidi City, Northern Territory General Administration.
Humphrey is a very self-disciplined person with a very regular pace of life.
No matter how busy he is today, he will take a nap on time as soon as 13:30 in the afternoon.
Humphrey's nap usually lasts for one hour, and he gets up on time after sleeping until 14:30.
After waking up at noon, Humphrey used to drink a cup of warm black tea first. After quietly enjoying the cup of black tea, Humphrey would start his afternoon work.
At this time, Humphrey, as usual, lay on a recliner in his office after taking a nap, half-squinting his eyes, sipping the steaming black tea in his hand, and...
He looked like he was enjoying himself very much.
This was a rare break in Humphrey's day.
However, this rare rest time in the day will always be interrupted for a few days.
Just like today.
When there was more than half of the black tea left in Humphrey's cup, there was a slight and urgent knock on the door of the office.
Humphrey, whose break was suddenly interrupted, showed his superb professionalism.
Without showing any impatience or irritation, Humphrey immediately put the black tea in his hand on the table beside him after hearing the urgent knock on the door. A serious look appeared on his face and he said in a deep voice.
Asked outside the door:
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty the Governor! There is an urgent document from the central government!"
"Central?" The expression on Humphrey's face became more solemn, "Please come in."
After receiving Humphrey's permission to enter, a young civil servant entered Humphrey's office holding a black bag.
The black cloth bag in the hands of this young civil servant is about as long as half an adult's forearm and as wide as a palm and a half.
After seeing the black bag in the young civil servant's hand, Humphrey's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a tone that was somewhat out of control due to surprise: "Top secret documents?"
After being briefly surprised, Humphrey quickly adjusted his condition and said to the young civil servant: "Give it to me, and then go and call Yaerin for me."
"yes!"
When the young civil servant ran to call Arlin over, Humphrey looked at the black cloth bag in his hand solemnly.
The documents distributed by the central government of the Britannia Empire to various localities were also hierarchical.
The lowest ones are documents contained in white cloth bags, and most of the contents written inside are not very important.
The second-class items are the documents contained in red cloth bags, and the contents written inside are more important.
The most advanced ones are documents contained in black cloth bags.
These documents contained in black bags are commonly referred to as "top secret documents".
Any document that can be packed in a black bag must contain something of great importance.
Looking at the black bag in his hand, Humphrey couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:
"Not long after the two large-scale enemy offensives of 'Spring Awakening' and 'Summer Wind' ended, the empire is about to make another big move... Is it going to launch another large-scale enemy offensive... This time?
Who to deal with..."
Click, click, click...
As soon as Humphrey finished speaking, there were footsteps approaching outside the door.
subsequently
Knock knock knock!
"Lord Governor! It's me, Arlin!"
"Please come in."
"Yes! Mr. Governor, why are you summoning me in such a hurry... top secret documents?!"
After entering the office, Yaerlin saw the black bag in Humphrey's hand and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"As you can see, it is a top-secret document. Yaerlin, come here."
"yes."
Humphrey's right-hand man, Arlin, looked solemn and walked quickly to Humphrey.
"Yarlin, is this bag sealed? Is there no sign that it has been opened?"
"Yes, the bag was perfectly sealed, the seal was intact, and there was no sign of it being opened."
"Very good. After confirmation by the Governor of the Northern Territory General Administration and the senior civil servant of the Northern Territory General Administration, the bag has no signs of damage or being opened. The bag was opened under the witness of the two of me!"
Humphrey used the knife he had prepared to cut open the bag and took out two documents.
On the first page of one of the documents, it was written in very eye-catching large characters [Military Parade Plan of Three Major Knights].
The first page of another document said [Operation Salomanda].
Compared to the [Three Major Knights Parade Plan], this letter [Operation Salomanda] obviously attracted the attention of Humphrey and Yaerlin more.
After handing the letter [Military Parade Plan of Three Major Knights] to Yaerlin, Humphrey took [Operation Salomanda] and began to browse it quickly.
Yaerlin, who was also extremely curious about the contents of this letter [Operation Salomanda], was anxiously waiting for Humphrey.
After quickly reading the document in his hand, Humphrey frowned, remained silent, and did not make any comments for the time being, and then handed the document in his hand to Arlin beside him.
"……This is……"
Yaerlin quickly read the document and let out a groan of disbelief.
Humphrey expected that Arlin would groan after reading the document.
"A war is about to begin." Humphrey said solemnly, "A full-scale war with the barbarians in the north..."
…
…
Same day.
23:12 pm.
Britannia Empire, somewhere in the north.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The tongue of fire licked the fallen branches and leaves, and occasionally burned some dead branches, making a loud "pop" sound.
Whenever the wind blows, sparks fly, giving the crisp sound of broken branches a magical color.
Su Cheng is now responsible for keeping watch, while Kailuoer, Alyssa and Alan are all fast asleep in the tent.
Su Cheng, who is now in charge of the night watch, is sitting by the bonfire, using the light of the bonfire to translate the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" which has not yet been translated.
Thanks to the current head of the Michael Knights and the top person in charge of the Northern Front, the progress of Su Cheng's translation work has been very slow, almost to the point of stagnation.
Since arriving at Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng is really squeezing in time to translate.
In order not to waste any time on the trip to Kailuoer's hometown, Su Cheng brought over the untranslated part of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
Due to cultural differences, even if the entire "Zizhi Tongjian" is translated into Britannia, Britannia people may not be able to understand it. In order to allow Britannia people to read it without any hindrance
Su Cheng had to spend a lot of time writing various annotations and drawing maps for the translation of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
Compared with translating the contents into Britannia, writing various annotations and drawing maps require more of Su Cheng's brain power, energy and time.
The man in black said that I will meet someone in the future who is worthy of entrusting the translation of this book to me... Who is that person worth entrusting to me? When can I meet him?! That bastard man in black!
Why did you only tell half of the story?
Su Cheng, who was translating with great difficulty with the help of firelight, could not help but complain in his heart about the mysterious man in black whom he had not seen for a long time.
at this time
Su Cheng heard the sound of the tent being opened behind him.
Su Cheng, who stopped writing in his hand, looked back following the sound and saw that Kyler, who had put on his cotton coat, walked out of her and Alyssa's tent.
"Huh? Carol, why did you wake up? It shouldn't be your turn to keep vigil yet, right?"
"I have insomnia."
As Kailuoer spoke, he walked to Su Cheng's side and then sat next to Su Cheng.
Chapter completed!
