Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

The next day, it started to rain lightly in the middle of winter.

Bai Yu has actually been to London, England twice in his last life, but in detail, the styles of the two cities are still different.

The first time I went to London was when I was a kid and I went with my family. At that time, London was shrouded in white fog. People were walking around in a hurry and wearing masks. The air quality was really not that good. It was in line with the "Fog City" moment. Stereotype.

In fact, due to the environmental pollution caused by the industrial revolution, London's environment was quite bad for more than a century, and the air pollution was particularly serious. Later, the industry gradually receded and capital migrated out, turning it into pure offshore finance. After moving to the center, the air quality got better.

The second time he went to London was when he was twenty-five years old... Due to time difference, work efficiency, daily strikes in the UK, holidays, etc., an urgent signing document would have taken a full week, and he had to negotiate with My boss flew to London.

The London he saw at that time was a different scene. It was different from the stereotype. It once made him wonder if he had entered India.

The number of pickpockets is staggering. The boss’s mobile phone disappears within less than ten minutes after being left in his outer pocket; subway fares are ridiculously expensive, and the seats are stained; there are at least three locks on bicycles on the streets; There are people robbing down jackets on the road; the most outrageous thing is that some public notices directly remind the general public that the police station will not pay attention to cases of petty theft; while walking on the road, I encountered three strike teams, each from different places. union.

Those who watch it will feel numb.

It was also the second trip to London, which completely shattered the filter of rounder foreign moons that Bai Yu had built up from childhood in "Yilin" and "Reader".

Even after traveling through time, the way I look at these Western countries always carries some stereotypes from the past.

Business in midwinter is not as prosperous as in Rome, but relatively speaking, the standard of living is passable.

As long as they work for the nobles, most people can get a decent income to support their families.

The real lower class people are also invisible here. They usually stay in urban and rural areas throughout their lives.

It can be seen that the citizens of the capital who live in the urban area in the middle of winter are quite wealthy.

"It's probably at the level of the early 19th century..."

Bai Yu muttered to himself, it was an era when old-style imperialism was encircling the world, and it was full of gunpowder.

"what are you saying?"

On the rainy and foggy street, Melusina was followed closely under the umbrella. The two of them were strolling around holding an umbrella.

In the middle of winter, there is actually nothing important to do. There is no need to rush to visit the royal family. You can only wait for the royal family to take the initiative to receive you.

For Melusina, this was a leisurely vacation. It was not bad to be able to hold the hand of her favorite brother and stroll all the way to the end of the world.

only……

There happened to be an extra light bulb next to me.

Naturally, Peggy followed. She put on her student-era clothes and looked young and beautiful.

The two were an unmarried couple, and Melusina couldn't drive them away if she wasn't happy. She could only talk to attract Bai Yu's attention, mentioning some famous street scenes in the capital in mid-winter, and talking about some famous old shops. , she actually wanted to customize a suit for Bai Yu in the old suit shop in the middle of winter, but the appointment was already scheduled for half a year.

"This store's handicraft shop is really good..." As she was talking, she caught a glimpse of Peggy running back at the other end of the street despite the rain.

Didn't even notice when she left.

Peggy took out something hidden under her shawl and took it out as if it was a treasure: "How about a taste of the croissant that was just baked?"

Bai Yu was not polite, took a piece of bread, thought about it and handed it to Melusina.

As soon as Sister Shirley caught it, she saw Paige take out a piece of bread, tear it in half, and hand one half to Bai Yu.

"How about it?"

"It tastes good. I want to take some back."

"No, it's a treasure shop I discovered myself."

The two of them were hiding under umbrellas, holding steaming bread, each of them eating half of it, with smiles on their faces.

They look very well matched, like a couple.

Melusina also took a bite of the bread, feeling mixed.

I have to admit that in terms of pleasing people, she, the female CEO, cannot compare to Laurence's eldest lady.

The original planned tour route was to take a boat ride to see the scenery of the Tay River, and then go to the famous opera house to watch the latest opera Roman Holiday, a one-day love drama between a poor boy and a princess.

But Melusina thought about it and decided to forget all about reservations and simply take a walk in the city, wherever she goes, go to some street corners, see free museums, and visit The crafts are pretty good.

The three of them were young people with strong physical strength. They walked from the south of the city to the north of the city, and then from the north to the river in seven or eight hours.

For dinner, I also bought a piece of fried chicken at a public price on the roadside... Although Britain is a food desert, at least it has enough fried chicken, French fries, cakes and desserts.

I was in a good mood along the way, until at night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was no longer convenient to wander around, so I had to turn back to the city.

We encountered many vehicles on the road and even horse-drawn carriages.

From here, you can see the old-fashioned way in the middle of winter. A carriage requires a horse and a driver. These two things alone consume far more money than a luxury car.

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the road, along with the rutting sound of rolling wheels.

"Get out of the way...and stay out of the way."

The coachman rang the bell and whistle.

Bai Yu took the two women's wrists and retreated to the side of the road.

But the carriage was traveling so fast that the wheels splashed quite a bit of water as they passed by.

The turbid water surged up, and Bai Yu silently released his aura as a shield. The water splash seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and then bounced back and splashed on the wall of the carriage.

The sound is quite loud.

Someone in the carriage rolled his eyes through the glass and looked out the window.

They glanced at each other, and their eyes met for a moment.

Then the wheels rolled and the carriage moved away.

"What was that just now?" Bai Yu asked.

"On the carriage is Pendragon's family crest."

"Pendragon?" A figure of a stupid king popped up in Bai Yu's mind: "King Arthur?"

"Whether King Arthur really existed in history is a mystery. After all, there was a rupture in history in Midwinter, and only fairy tales and legends were circulated." Melusina commented: "Pendragon is not a direct descendant of King Arthur."

"After all, King Arthur died with his descendant Mordred?"

"So they did not inherit the name of King Arthur, but the bloodline of the red dragon."

Peggy held Bai Yu's arms, looked at the direction the carriage was leaving and said, "It is rumored that King Arthur in history inherited the blood of the red dragon in Britain, and the Pendragon family was also confirmed to have inherited the blood of the red dragon, so He regards King Arthur as his ancestor and calls himself Pendragon.”

Bai Yu asked curiously: "Can you still recognize your ancestors and return to your clan like this?"

According to this statement, should we directly kowtow to Mr. Wu An?

"As long as you have enough merit, even misidentifying your ancestors will be taken seriously." Peggy said: "At least now, Pendragon is one of the most powerful knight families in Midwinter."

Red dragon bloodline?

Bai Yu really wanted to @ask the Dragon Mother if the red dragon here was her familiar dragon.

"There is another unique rule in the Pendragon family..."

"The best knights of Pendragon in each generation will challenge other Knights of the Round Table."

"If you can win over half of the Knights of the Round Table and gain their recognition, you will be qualified to inherit the name of Arthur given by your family, and you will add Arthur to your name."

Hearing this, Bai Yu asked directly: "So this Arthur Pendragon is the King of Knights of this generation."

"That's right. Although the royal family does not have any recognition of it, it is more like an honor spread among the knights."

"Who is the King of Knights of this generation?" Melusina directly asked the key question: "Is he canonized?"

"It's not canonization." Paige paused: "Who is the King of Knights of this generation..."

…

In the moving carriage, there were two people sitting facing each other.

"Lezan, you should act happier."

A richly dressed aristocratic man said with a smile: "The duel agent this time is none other than you."

Pendragon's direct lineage man raised his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to touch the red dragon pattern on his sleeves.

"Marquis George, I don't want to get involved in such a complicated struggle for aristocratic rights."

"I know you are a pure knight, but the world of aristocrats has always been a mess." George shook his head and sighed: "I have been your godfather for so many years, so I naturally know your temper, but this opportunity is really real. Don’t miss it, you won’t go wrong listening to me.”

"Soon the Midwinter nobles will know about this duel, and it will begin under the eyes of everyone."

"Why do countless knights and duel agents participate in duels? Honor and prestige!"

"As long as you win this duel, you will be defending the honor of the Midwinter nobles. This will greatly enhance your reputation and be worth ten years of hard work!"

Rezan Arthur Pendragon was not interested: "I am now an official Knight of the Round Table and have received the blessing of the Holy Grail. Isn't this enough?"

Marquis George said without breathing: "Your opponent this time is the Donghuang Group... No matter who the other party plans to let fight on their behalf, it is a big deal."

"In the past, the nobles suffered a lot at the hands of that Roman barbarian in Midwinter, and they felt a bad breath in their hearts."

"How could it be that the great nobles didn't add fuel to the flames when we got to this point? They were just unwilling to bleed themselves."

"As long as you win, your personal prestige will be greatly improved."

"And with the Queen's birthday coming up, this is a great opportunity to make a name for herself."

"Many knights are desperate to try this stage. It's the wealth that comes from heaven."

"As an illegitimate child, it's not easy for you to reach this point, but if you want to move up, you must get rid of this shackles and cover it with your reputation."

"After that, I will have the opportunity to marry the princess and reach the pinnacle of life."

Marquis George also tried his best to plan his godson's future and persuaded him to accept it.

Lei Zan was silent for a long time and then replied: "I listen to my godfather."

"Okay, okay." Marquis George was very satisfied: "I know your strength. As long as you take it seriously after playing, no matter who your opponent is, you will definitely not lose!"

Lei Zan held his cuffs as if to strangle the red dragon's neck: "I'm not interested in the reputation of the nobles, but as long as I go to the duel field, I will naturally go all out. I just hope that the opponent is strong enough and does not let me lose. I'm so disappointed."
