I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 259

The old man talked to the young man for a while, but Shaar didn't speak, just stood outside quietly waiting, listening and waiting.

After a while, the door of the wooden house slowly opened, and an old man walked in from inside. He was wearing a gray robe, messy, unkempt gray hair and beard scattered randomly, his face was full of years of scars. The traces under it seem to be at least 80 to [-] years old.

But his eyes were still radiant, he saw Shaar standing at the door, and their eyes met for a while at that moment.

After a while, there was a sound from inside the cabin.

"Teacher, is there anyone outside?"

A young man came out of the wooden house and stood beside the old man. The young man was very handsome with dark hair, somewhat similar to the young Arthur.

He looked at Shaar curiously, and Xiaar also looked at him quietly.

"He is the teacher's friend." The old man patted the boy's head and said.

He took out some coins from his body and threw them to the boy, "Go to the town and buy two bottles of rum, go to the one I often go to, and leave the rest of the money to yourself."

"Yes!" The boy replied excitedly, took the money and ran out along the mountain path.

Naturally, the old man didn't really want to drink, but just found an excuse to distract him.

"This kid has good energy." Xia Ya said, watching the boy's back as he left.

"His name is Mordred," said the old man.

Shaar nodded, "It's just that the name is not very auspicious."

The old man smiled, and saw that his appearance changed under Shaar's gaze, his hair became more shiny, and his wrinkles gradually disappeared, turning into Arthur's appearance.

Arthur looked at Cici who was being held by Xia.

"What's the child's name?"

"You can call her Sissy." Shaar said.

Arthur squatted down, looked at Sissy's eyes, and then smiled softly.

"May I give you a present?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a scabbard appeared in his hand, which was Avalon's scabbard.

"Come on, take it."

Sissy was a little at a loss, she raised her head and glanced at Shaar.

"Take it." Xia Ya said softly.

So Sissy reached out and took the scabbard, and the moment her hands touched the scabbard, the scabbard disintegrated into countless light spots, and then poured directly into her body.

"It's gone." Sissy looked at herself in a panic.

"No, it's not missing." Arthur whispered, "It's just that it belongs to you."

"This gift you gave is too precious." Xia whispered softly.

"This is what you gave me, isn't it?" Arthur stood up slowly and said, "I don't need this thing anymore."

Xiaya stared at it quietly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Come in and sit down," Arthur said.

He led Shaar into this wooden house. The wooden house is not big. There is only a living room on the first floor, with several dining tables, bookshelves, and a workbench. The stove on one side is burning to provide some warmth for the place. .

There is an attic here, and the small attic should be where they usually sleep. This is very similar to the layout of Shaar's original castle.

Arthur led them to sit down at the dining table on one side, and poured a glass of water for himself and Shaar.

He didn't answer Shaar's question, but began to explain the child's life experience.

"That child is the son of Vivian Britannia, Victor's daughter."

"He is very similar to you." Shaar said.

"It can be regarded as a part of my blood." Arthur said, "She collected my blood to create a life, and used some ancient witchcraft.

Want him to avenge her father and kill me.

I approached her with another identity, the identity of an ancient magician, and successfully gained Vivienne's trust and became the child's teacher. "

"This is a child with a rough fate." Arthur murmured softly, "He was born of hatred, without any motherly or fatherly love.

I may not be able to be his father, but at least I can lead him on the right path. "

"But your purpose should be more than that." Xiaya said.

Arthur was silent for a while, and then said, "You should have listened to the whole process outside just now, and you should have guessed something."

"Are you sure you want to make this choice?" Xia Ya said calmly, "You have many other options."

"I know." Arthur's eyes were calm, but without any hesitation or hesitation.

"I can choose to send troops to deal with those nobles, take back their fields for redistribution, and ease the current conflicts in Britannia.

When I pass away, I can enter the grave with the good name of a generation of Mingjun, and even live forever. "

He looked up at Shaar with burning eyes, "But this is not what I want."

"And as I said to the kid, nothing is going to change, it's just being delayed.

I will never be the person who sweeps the dirty things under the bed and thinks that the dirty things don't exist, nor will I leave the problem to future generations to solve.

A top-down revolution can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Only a bottom-up revolution can completely change the country. "

He pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"Three years ago, I went to the south for inspection, where a new nobleman rose up and annexed a large amount of land.

I went to the towns within his sphere of influence, and the people in the towns warmly welcomed me, and the noble also welcomed me.

I received countless cheers and jumps there. "

"But do you know what's going on in that town?

Because of the loss of land, many people can only become laborers in factories and farm laborers in noble farms, receiving meager wages.

This is not bad. If you live a tighter life, you can support yourself and your family.

There are still many who can only go to black factories to work as workers. They have no minimum wage and no time limit. They can only work hard with their health to find a way out.

Seriously ill or disabled that day because of the dangers of pollution and irregular work.

What's more, he can only become a homeless man, living on the street, and no one cares if he dies on a cold winter night one day.

Although Britannia is now rich, in fact, in places where the power of the imperial power has not reached, there are still many places that have not changed, or even worsened.

Even the stability of the environment, they have no direction of resistance.

But even so, they didn't show any anger towards me, the emperor. Their eyes were full of anticipation, excited that they could see me with their own eyes.

The local aristocrats and officials arranged a great show for me, with guards in formal dresses and luxurious carriages inlaid with gold.
The cost of a welcome ceremony is the cost of thousands of families for a year.

And the people who welcomed me on both sides of the street included disheveled homeless men, as well as those working illegally and dirty workers.

Can you imagine how ironic that scene was? "

Arthur stared at Char.

"I saw in them the imprint of the centuries of Britannia's absolute monarchy upon their hearts.

In your words, I saw slavishness in them.

The Britannia I want, not this Britannia.

They need to understand one thing.

Even a high-ranking monarch is still a human being, not a god.

He'll still bleed, he'll still die"
