Chapter 99
"It seems that both the West French army and the Sacilians have quieted down these days."
That evening, Char and the others sat at the dining table and had dinner as usual, and the dinner was still made by Char.
Because their beef is basically bought from Huangdu these days, the beef in Huangdu is really the same as the beef in Saxili.
The cooking method like the past is obviously not suitable. If you use the Chinese cooking method, even the beef with not so good quality can still be cooked deliciously.
But to be honest, Xia wanted to eat pork a little bit.
Britannia's pork is basically sold as other things, such as ham and sausage and bacon.
There are very few shops that sell raw pork directly, and even if there is a smell, it is very strong.
They haven't been out of Saxili much these days.
The national sentiment in Sasili grew stronger day by day, almost to the point of attacking all foreigners they saw.
Like them, even if you go out, you will not be able to be attacked.
"The West French army in town is waiting," Char said.
Alicia seemed to have thought of something, "Are they waiting for the big troops?"
"Almost." Xia nodded and said, "When the big troops arrive, everything can be resolved, and they don't need to bother with the Sacilians."
Isabel wiped her paws and face with the tablecloth, and said, "If the large army from West France really arrives, then Sasily will basically have no chance."
"So the Sacilians are also preparing for a decisive battle." Shaar's eyes flashed with brilliance, "This will be the calm before the storm, and there may be results tonight."
"It's war again." Calcifer swayed in the hearth, "It's really annoying, wouldn't it be more peaceful?"
Shaar shrugged, "It's something that can't be helped. This is the case in this era, and we will meet again in the future."
"teacher."
Arthur at the dining table suddenly said.
"Can I help?"
Xia raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, and said patiently, "I know you are eager to participate in this wave and change something, but you can't do it right now."
"I think I'm very strong now!" Arthur said not convinced.
Shaar nodded irresistibly, "I don't deny this point. However, the strength of your body does not mean the strength of your heart."
He stared at Arthur, "In the few nights when you just moved, you couldn't sleep well, you said, you could recall everything that happened in Eagle Point Town as soon as you closed your eyes.
Relying on my magic potion to make you sleep peacefully.
So, if you were allowed to appear again on the night when Eagle Point Town was bombed, and let you see that scene again, would you still be able to sleep peacefully? "
Arthur didn't speak, but Xia's words continued.
"Remember that cannon fire?
Remember that sound of bones breaking?
Remember the smell of burnt flesh?
Or have you seen with your own eyes those kind-hearted people buried alive in collapsed houses, with pieces of flesh smeared all over the walls? "
Arthur's face gradually paled with Shaar's words, he seemed to recall something, trembling, closed his eyes, covered his ears, shook his head and shouted.
"say no more!"
Sonny, who was sitting by the stove warming himself, seemed to sense Arthur's emotions, and gritted his teeth slightly at Shaar, making a warning gesture.
Shaar didn't care about this, he leaned on the armchair and said softly.
"Sleep potion is in the second drawer of my tool table, you can get it anytime."
Arthur jumped off the chair and ran up the stairs without looking back, the sound of hurried footsteps came out on the stairs.
"He's only in his teens." Alicia said helplessly, "You don't need to be so anxious."
"I'm not in a hurry." Xia Ya said quietly, "He was in a hurry."
After a pause, he said, "However, war never waits for people to get used to it."
Char slowly got up from his seat, "I'm going to take a bath."
He looked at Alicia, "Do you want to be together?"
"Cough cough!"
Alicia coughed twice unexpectedly, she subconsciously looked at Isabel, her creamy white face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She looked at Shaar and said angrily.
"what are you talking about!"
Shaar said innocently, "I just asked if you want to go to the hot spring pool together. There are two pools separated there, aren't there?"
Isabel looked at Shaar, then at Alicia, she had never been to the hot spring pool, because the pool there was too deep for her.
But this did not prevent her from teasing Alicia.
"Where did you think of going?"
"I think so too."
Alicia said sternly, she got up from her seat, trying to be as natural as possible, "I just want to take a dip, wait for me."
She walked towards the door leading to the bathroom, and then walked out with a small tub in her arms.
"Let's go."
They opened the door to Sasili, walked through the garden accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, walked through the peach grove by stepping on the petals on the ground, walked up to the hot spring pool, and entered the hot spring pool separately as before.
Compared to the first time they soaked in this pool together, Alicia's mood has eased a lot now, and she no longer feels uncomfortable as before, but sometimes some images of that night will inevitably flash in her mind.
The room was very dark at the time, and Alicia didn't actually see anything, it was more of a feeling.
It does not originate from the body, but from the soul. It is the ultimate joy of blooming in life in the communion of soul and body with the loved one. It seems that this journey is just to wait for that moment to come.
That was also the first time Alicia knew that there were such beautiful things in this world.
But since then, they haven't had one.
She was actually lucky, after all, it was an impulsive act out of ignorance at the time, and she was not used to being honest with people, but she was a little annoyed, was she really so unattractive?
Today's weather is fine, cloudless, the starry sky is like a piece of yarn, the stars are inlaid with diamonds, sprinkled with diamond powder, and spread in the air.
The moon hung on the treetops, and the quiet moonlight swayed on the earth. From here, the outline of the town in the distance can be seen.
Alicia turned her head and looked at the wooden board that separated her vision, as if she wanted to see the people behind through the wooden board.
But at this moment, Shaar's voice came.
"Alicia, didn't you go to the library to look up Sacily's information a few days ago, did you find anything?"
Alicia thought for a while, and then said: "For more detailed information, it is estimated that only Sacily has it."
After a pause, she said, "However, I found something from the records of the empire's oceans.
This small town was first discovered by the British Duke. At that time, there were already Kateites living here. They lived on farming and herding, and cooperated with each other. However, due to the limited farming area, the patriarch needed to allocate resources uniformly.
At that time, the people here were very simple, and the British Duke received a very warm hospitality. Later, it became a temporary stronghold for the British Duke to colonize the New World.
Later, after the death of the British Duke, the emperors of all dynasties did not care about this humble town.
But they still relied on their own strength to conduct commercial trade with Europe.
However, there were a lot of pirates in the Mediterranean at that time, and merchant ships were often robbed. For a while, the town was directly occupied by pirates and used as a pirate stronghold.
The people here are oppressed to do coolie labor and live a life without dignity.
But later, the people here united together and drove those pirates out again. "
Xia said with a smile, "So there is a precedent, since then, the people here have started to fight against those robbers, and this spirit of resistance also started from that time.
In other words, they awakened the martial spirit of their ancestors who were not afraid of death. "
"It's all about staying alive," Alicia said.
Shaar nodded, looking at the town in the distance, his eyes flickered, "Do you think, this time, can they drive the robbers out again?"
Alicia seemed to realize something, she tried hard to open her eyes and looked at the distant town.
If it is daytime, it may be clearer. The light pollution in this era is not so serious. Except for some faint fires, you can't see anything.
"Have they started to move?"
There was the sound of water in her ears, and Alicia felt a figure appearing behind her under the flowing water.
Alicia turned her head in a panic, and saw Shaar standing there, the hot spring had not passed his navel, but the inverted triangle upper body was still impacting Alicia's sight.
I don't know if it was because of the steam from the hot spring, her complexion was a little red.
"Why did you come here?"
"Don't be nervous." Xiaya grabbed Alicia's hand, took her to the hot spring, and looked at the small town in the distance.
"You should see it now."
Alicia quickly eased her emotions, because she found that her sight was different, or in other words, Shaar shared the sight of his eyes with her.
The towns in the distance became clearer. It was an incomparably peculiar perspective, which could bring the entire town into view, but it could clearly see what was happening in every corner.
In the darkness, one after another Sacilians came out of their homes by the moonlight and joined together. There were men and women. They all carried weapons, guns, or crossbows. If they didn’t have any, they brought pitchforks. .
They divided into two groups, one part went to the mayor's mansion, while the other part went to both sides of the fjord.
In the direction of the mayor's mansion, the soldiers of West France are waiting seriously. They have transformed the mayor's mansion into a temporary fortress. It seems that they have long guessed that the Sacilians will riot tonight.
A war is imminent.
