Sage's Queen's Cultivation Diary

Cavel came to a town, a dying town.

He didn't pay much attention to the name of the town, because even if he asked, no one would answer him. There were many people on the street. They wore thick clothes that didn't keep warm, and their hair was messy on their heads. , wandering around like a walking dead.

Lily, Lucy, Cavel, and the "charged" Nana, the arrival of the four did not have any impact on the residents of this small town. After looking at them in surprise, most of the residents would Choose to leave silently and continue their wandering for the purpose of wandering.

Lucy and Nana volunteered to find a place for the four of them to rest. After these months of hard work, the two girls had grown a lot, so Caville didn't worry too much. After telling them to come back early, He and Lily found a random place to sit down.

"Teacher, what happened to them?"

Such a small town inevitably makes people feel depressing, and the living conditions of the residents are even more concerning. As the future king of this country, Lily naturally cannot ignore this situation, so she asked a question, asking herself what she had never done before. The teacher who didn't say a word when he entered the town.

"They're broken." Caville's answer was quite short, too short to be intelligible.

"Broken?" Lily frowned and looked at the passers-by on the street. The appearance of losing her mind was indeed broken.

"That's right, it's broken." Caville nodded affirmatively, "Some people lost their hearts, some lost their souls, and some lost everything, because they lost too much, so they broke .”

Lily was still frowning, obviously not understanding the meaning of Caville's words, so the latter pointed in a direction.

"Look there."

There is a man in his 30s at the point. He is wearing clothes that are thicker than others, so thick that even walking becomes a problem. Even so, he still has no intention of taking off his clothes.

"That person has a lot of family members," Caville said, "at least a dozen or so."

"Teacher, how do you know?"

Cavel didn't answer Lily's question. He looked around and patted the girl's head: "Lily, do you find anything strange about the people around you?"

Lily nodded: "Of course, they are all weird."

"...No, that's not what I meant." Realizing that his words were not clear enough, Cavel reorganized his language, "Apart from them themselves, have you found anything strange, such as their clothes What."

"Clothes?" Hearing Cavell's words, Lily turned her attention to the pedestrians again, but this time her focus was on their clothes.

"Indeed." Lily frowned at the clothes that the passers-by obviously put on indiscriminately. "This doesn't look like winter clothes at all. No matter how you look at it, these are..."

"They were all taken off from other people." Caville took over the conversation, "That's right, they were all taken off from other people's bodies, no matter whether they fit or not, no matter whether they can keep out the cold or not, these clothes are all messed up by them Wearing it on the body, but judging from the completeness of the clothes, it doesn't look like it was stolen, so you understand, the origin of these clothes."

"It was taken from their relatives, relatives who died without enduring the severe cold." Having said so much, Lily had already guessed the reason for this strange scene, and understood who Caville was referring to. Why don't you want to take off a few clothes, because those are the last relics left by his relatives for him.

"Well, so he has many relatives, and he bears much more pain than others." Cavel continued to point to another person. His face was rosy, and he didn't seem to have experienced the double torture of cold and hunger at all. However, he was more silent and withdrawn than the people around him, and his unfocused eyes made no doubt that he would cut his heart with a knife in the next second.

"He eats people." Caville told the incredible fact again. This time, even the girl who had always trusted him unconditionally showed an expression of disbelief.

"how come……"

"But that's the truth."

As if he had noticed the gaze of Cavel and the others, the guy who was silently staring at his feet raised his head, then slowly got up and walked away.

"Under the survival instinct, the bottom line of human beings will be infinitely magnified, and many things that were unimaginable before will naturally appear in the brain, such as betrayal, deceit, and cannibalism. This is not their fault, because death is true. It's something very frightening."

"..."

Lily stopped talking, and began to carefully observe the pedestrians on the street. They were still lifeless, as if giving up thinking, yes, giving up thinking, and only thinking about how to keep themselves alive, how? In order not to become a corpse on the street.

"British, why did it become like this?"

This is the question Cavel asked yesterday, but there was a hint of sadness in the girl's mouth.

"Britain, it's always been like this." Cavel grabbed a handful of snow. The snow is very white, but it is infinitely beautiful, but it hides the breath of death. After touching the body temperature, it becomes nothingness.

"It's just that the peace and beauty of ordinary days make you ignore these dark places. Not every town is as rich as Ulu Village, and not every town is as far away from war as it is. You have lived in your foster father since you were a child. Hector’s territory, and later came to the peaceful Uru village, so in your eyes, Britain is so beautiful, and the people can live happily, but what about these peaceful places?”

With a firm grip, the snow in Caville's hand shattered into dross.

"There are many places like this small town in Britain. Without the garrison of knights, without the support of the state, when disaster strikes, you can only find a little hope in the gap between life and death. For this reason, it is inevitable to lose something, no matter what. Is it dignity or humanity."

Lily stared straight ahead, as if thinking about something, so Caville couldn't help but sighed.

"Yes, this is Britain, this is the Avalon you wanted to create, and it's just a mess right now because of Uther's naive idea of ​​taking it all on his own."

Caville's words were a little too much, but Lily couldn't think of rebuttal words, so she asked, "Teacher, is father a failed king?"

"It can't be said that he failed. He has a very wise heart, but unfortunately this heart is dominated by a headstrong brain, so he can use his own efforts to keep this country alive, but he can't let it go further. The power of one person After all, it is limited, he is not strong enough to be able to bear the rise and fall of the entire country by himself."

"And Lily." Caville looked at the sky, which was as dark and depressing as ever.

"You too."

"..."

"I'm not strong enough." After getting the answer from her teacher, the girl murmured, "Even if I reach my father's level, I still can't change Britain?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it can't change a country without the support of the people. The king's indifference will make the people indifferent. The consequence is that they don't care about the survival of the country. To them, it's just a change of identity. Britons Or the sons of Saxon, it doesn't matter, as long as they live."

"But shouldn't the king be responsible for this?" Lily met Cavel's eyes, "Do you want the people to take up arms to fight and use their dead bodies to win?"

"Even this is much better than what Uther is doing now." Cavel pointed to the people on the street, "You see, even if it has reached the point where you have to eat the flesh of your relatives to survive, the people here are not at all Want to rely on the country's plan, they, like Uther, always think about how to survive on their own, instead of finding a chance to survive through mutual help with others. Not a part of Britain, they already have the Classify yourself as a homeless wretch."

Lily stopped talking again. From the very beginning, she knew that she could not win over her teacher, but she still wanted to give it a try, and wanted to make Caville recognize her way of being a king through hard work.

"teacher……"

"Hello! Uncle." Lily wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lucy who appeared in sight.

Lucy's face was ruddy, apparently she had trotted all the way here, and the cotton padded coat that Cavel had exchanged for her to keep out the cold was casually torn apart by her, and a puff of heat came out of the clothes.

"Front...Front..."

The girl was out of breath, unable to speak a word stuck in her throat. Nana, who was beside her, patted Lucy on the back, and said what she wanted to express on behalf of her unsatisfied older sister. out.

"Dad, many knights in armor appeared at the entrance of the town. They gathered everyone in the town, as if they had something to announce."

"Knights?" Caville frowned, "Why do knights appear in this remote town? Could it be that Uther sent them to rescue the disaster?"

Caville was still thinking, but Lily had already stood up and ran towards the entrance of the town. The girl looked quite anxious.After all, this is her country, and the people here are also her people. Seeing her people fall into panic, the girl with chivalry is also in pain. It is reasonable to hear that the knights of the kingdom are excited.

"Lily..." Seeing the back of the girl leaving alone, Cavel could only give a wry smile, and then followed with Lucy and Nana.

……

"King Uther has retreated to the background, but his successor has been chosen, and this character is the next king!"

When Caville came to the entrance of the town, Lily was concentrating on raising her head. In front of her, several knights in thick armor rode on their horses and shouted something. Caville stepped forward to take a picture. He patted the girl on the shoulder and listened with her.

"Britain will never perish. Lord Mei Lin has already said that as long as he can pull out the sword of King's Choice located in Londinium, then he will be the next king of Britain. He will bring Britain into a world never seen before. In the midst of the power and prosperity of China, the Saxon bastards will be completely expelled from our territory!"

What the Cavaliers brought was exciting and good news, but according to Kavel, no one would cheer for it, but he was wrong.

"Britain shall never perish!" cried the knight.

"Britain shall never perish!" cried the people.

"Long live King Uther, long live the new king!"

"Long live King Uther, long live the new king!"

After the inspiring slogans were chanted, everyone had a happy smile on their faces. Just when Caville thought he was wrong, something happened that made his pupils shrink.

"Okay! Everyone did a good job!" A knight waved his hand, and then one by one stiff bread was delivered to people's hands through the hands of the knights. The smiles on their faces became brighter, and Lily suddenly grabbed it tightly. Own hand, tightly.

"Long live Britain!!!"

This time, the cheers were especially harsh.
