Chapter 566: Ilsa and the Man in Black

At the same time.

Somewhere in the west of the Britannia Empire, outside the base camp of the Anti-Bandit Corps.

"Hum~hum~hum~"

Ilsa hummed a tune and strolled comfortably around the base camp of the Anti-Bandit Corps.

The Anti-Bandit Corps is now on the way to attack the next bandit group and is now setting up camp to rest.

Children of Ilsa's age are often full of energy. Even though it is the rest time of the army, Ilsa is unwilling to rest obediently, but walks around the base camp with interest.

Behind Ilsa are two maids responsible for protecting Ilsa.

After all, Ilsa is the only granddaughter of Gozewen. Gozewen has no offspring except Gail, and Gail has no offspring except Ilsa. In other words, it is only a matter of time before Ilsa becomes the emperor of the Britannia Empire.

For such a noble and important person, it is impossible not to send a personal guard to protect him.

The two maids following behind Elsa are the elite guards sent by Gozewen to protect Elsa.

Although these two maids look weak, they are actually elite soldiers of the Royal Guards, the elite among the elite. As long as they are given weapons, long swords or long spears are fine. Anyway, as long as they are given a weapon that suits them, one person can beat ten people without any problem.

Since these two maids followed Elsa to the Anti-Bandit Corps, they have been like conjoined twins with Elsa. Wherever Elsa goes, they follow.

Even in this ordinary walk, these two maids are inseparable from Elsa.

Just as Elsa was humming a tune and walking aimlessly around the periphery of the Anti-Bandit Corps camp, her eyes suddenly lit up: at the end of a thousand miles of lush green fertile land, there was a large area of ​​gorgeous and beautiful flowers.

After seeing this beautiful scenery, Elsa immediately quickened her pace and ran there.

When she got closer, Elsa saw that it was a sea of ​​white, light pink and crimson flowers blooming, forming a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

"So beautiful..." Looking at the sea of ​​flowers in front of her, Elsa couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect there was such a beautiful sea of ​​flowers near here. This time I followed the anti-bandit army to the west, and it was right. I didn't have the opportunity to see such a beautiful sea of ​​flowers in Baiyang Palace."

Elsa walked quickly to the stream not far away, scooped up a handful of cool river water and swallowed it in one breath.

"It's so sweet."

"Oh? I didn't expect there would be a child here, and it's a very beautiful little girl." Just as Elsa finished praising the sweet river water, a pleasant young female voice suddenly came from her side.

Elsa turned her head quickly, but found a young woman in a tattered black robe sitting cross-legged not far away, looking at her with a smile.

The woman was wearing a tattered, dirty black robe.

She did not wear the hood of the black robe, so Ilsa could see the face of the young woman clearly.

From her face, the woman was not very old, probably about 16 years old. What was very strange was that although her clothes were very dirty, her face, hair, hands... in short, all the parts that Ilsa could see were very clean.

With fair skin, smooth silver-white long hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a beautiful face, she was one of the most beautiful women Ilsa had ever seen in her life.

"Ah, hello!"

Ilsa quickly stood up, saluted the black-robed man very politely, and then introduced herself:

"My name is Iris. I came here to play with my friends and happened to walk here and found this beautiful sea of ​​flowers."

Ilsa naturally could not reveal her real name and true identity to strangers.

The fake name and identity were thought of as early as when Ilsa set out on the westward expedition with the anti-bandit army.

If she met a stranger while walking outside the military camp, she would claim to be the granddaughter of a cloth merchant in the imperial capital - Iris.

After listening to Ilsa's self-introduction, the black-robed man nodded with a smile: "Hello, Miss Iris, my name is..."

When he should have given his name, the black-robed man was silent for a while.

"...Avalon." After a moment of silence, the black-robed man burst out a name that anyone who has learned a little about the history of the Britannians should know, "Just call me Avalon. If it's too troublesome, you can just call me the black-robed man, or you can call me the sage."

"Avalon?" Ilsa cast a curious look at the black-robed man, "What a coincidence! Your name is exactly the same as the name of a great general of our Britannians a thousand years ago."

"Yeah, that's right."

The black-robed man nodded, then raised his head slightly and looked at the blue sky in the distance.

"It's the name of one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table under the command of 'Knight King' Arthur Pendragon."

"She is also one of the only four female Knights of the Round Table."

"She is best at defensive battles and is Arthur's favorite. Unfortunately, her development is a bit unbalanced. She is good at defense but not good at offense. Therefore, when Arthur attacked the four directions, Avalon was either thrown to consolidate the defense line or thrown to guard the strategic stronghold."

"For example, in offensive operations and plans such as the strategic decisive battle with the Western Barbarians - the 'Northern Cross Blitzkrieg'."

"Avalon and Arthur quarreled many times because of this."

"Huh?" Ilsa looked at the man in black robes with some surprise, "Did Avalon also have a quarrel with the 'King of Knights'?"

"Of course we have quarreled. Every one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table has quarreled with the 'King of Knights', from trivial military affairs to daily trivial matters. Avalon has the closest relationship with the 'King of Knights', so The two of them are also the noisiest and most violent.”

"However, although the two of them quarreled the most and were the most fierce, Arthur still regarded Avalon as his trusted general, and he always used Avalon in high regard from the beginning to the end."

Having said this, the man in black robe paused, as if he remembered something, and then said to Ilsa:

"Little sister, let me tell you one more thing that few people may know. Although today's bards and third-rate novels placed in bookstores all like to describe the relationship between the Twelve Knights of the Round Table and Arthur. The description is so good and the relationship between them is so harmonious, but in fact, the relationship between them is not very happy and harmonious. "

"The relationship between Arthur and most of the Knights of the Round Table was not very good."

"Arthur even got along very unpleasantly with several Knights of the Round Table. If it weren't for the outstanding abilities of these Knights of the Round Table, coupled with their hard work and great contributions to the rise of the Suyingland Empire, Arthur would have been reluctant to deal with them, otherwise Arthur really might destroy them all. Anyway, there are many generals who can fight, and there is no shortage of these Knights of the Round Table. "

"Eh? Really?!" Ilsa's face was filled with disbelief. "I always thought that the relationship between the Knights of the Round Table and the 'King of Knights' was very harmonious..."

"If you study history books carefully, you can also discover this from various detailed records in history books."

The man in black robe continued to smile and said:

"Actually, there are many people who know that the relationship between Arthur and most of the Knights of the Round Table is not very good, such as those historians who study the history of the Suinland Empire."

"It's just that the idea that Arthur has a harmonious relationship with the Knights of the Round Table and that the monarch and his ministers are harmonious is really widespread and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"This rumor has almost replaced the official history. If you tell others now that the relationship between Arthur and most of the Knights of the Round Table is not very harmonious, they will probably call you crazy and say that you have not read the history books."

"Then..." Ilsa hesitated, "Why does the 'King of Knights' have a bad relationship with most of the Knights of the Round Table... Shouldn't they be good comrades and good friends who fight side by side..."

"Why..." The man in black robe murmured, then lowered his eyes, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"There are many reasons, but the main reason is definitely due to different political opinions..."
