Sitting in the tent, Boudica repeated in a low voice with a complex expression: "The sword of common people, the sword of princes, the sword of kings..."
After a long time, she raised her head and asked, "Did he really say that?"
Turner bowed and nodded: "Yes, word for word."
"Then what did Ania choose?" Boudica asked.
Turner hesitated for a moment: "The sword of the princes."
Boudica was startled, and asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"The princess said that she doesn't want to fight fiercely with others, nor do she want to be violent to others, nor does she want to replace the queen and rule a country,
Compared to those, she just wants to simply share your worries..." Turner said.
Boudica was in a daze for a long time, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, only felt that there were countless threads passing through his mind, and all kinds of emotions overflowed in one go.
She lowered her head, covered her brows and eyes with her hands, and couldn't help chuckling, her tone trembling slightly.
"This...fool."
......
In the princess tent.
A brazier was lit next to the couch, and Anya knelt on the bearskin rug, her calf was slightly numb, but she dared not move.
Nios sat across from her, with a serene expression on his face: "From now on, every morning and every night, I will set aside a time to teach you. Don't be late, don't leave early, and don't miss class."
Anya gently lifted her buttocks, moved her toes, nodded her head in a respectful manner.
"very good."
Nios nodded, and continued: "Before each class, the face must be cleansed, the hair must be cut, the clothes must be adjusted, and the knots must be tied; during the class, the head must be upright, the shoulders should be flat, and the back should be straight."
"Yes." Anya's face was bitter.
"Weather, don't be arrogant, violent, or slack; colors should be harmonious, quiet, and grand." Neos said in a voice like water, "You understand."
Anya took a deep breath, tried to straighten her back as he said, and nodded seriously: "Understood."
Nios nodded and smiled, and opened his eyes: "Then, let's start the first lesson of the king... the sword of princes."
Huh?
The girl blinked, suspecting that she had heard wrong.
But she didn't dare to ask any questions, she just bowed down imitatively: "Thank you, Master."
Nios slowly raised the copper cup in his hand, drank the hot water, and said, "The first lesson I teach is the world."
"The world..."
Aniya read it carefully, frowned and pondered, and asked, "What is the world?"
"Good question."
With a smile on his face, Neos slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be looking at the stars through the roof.
"The so-called world..."
"It is a place that no human eye can see, no matter how far away it is, and a territory that no human imagination can understand."
His voice suddenly became low, like a quaint yellow bell ringing, taking people back thousands of years ago.
Anya was shocked all of a sudden.
Originally, there was only a small piece of land in that small brain, but following Neos' words, the thoughts in her brain expanded rapidly.
That long-buried curiosity seeped out.
Nios raised a finger, pointed to the sky, and then pointed to the ground: "Heaven and earth!"
"Wherever the light of the sun, moon and stars can shine, wherever rivers and rivers flow, they can cover the four seas vertically, conquer the eight wildernesses horizontally, and control the heaven and earth with sweeping!
All mountains and rivers are exotic!Thousands of countries and nations!Limin people!The grass and trees of the common people! "
Anya froze.
Her heart seemed to be beating violently, and the voice deep in her heart was asking questions over and over again.
world!What is the world?
Seeing Neos standing up suddenly, the girl raised her head in confusion and blinked.
Nios wiped his body and took out the scroll from behind, hung it on the pole in the center of the tent, and loosened his hand.
The pale yellow and simple picture scroll is exposed to the firelight,
This is a map drawn by the Romans. The huge inland in the middle is the legendary Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by three continents. Britannia is quietly placed in the lower left corner, inconspicuous.
Nios looked at the picture and said lightly, "This is the world."
The moment her eyes touched the painting, Anya felt that all the imaginations in her mind came alive instantly.
It seems that everything around her has disappeared. Under the magnificent starry sky, she stands on the sky, overlooking all the oceans and mountains in this picture, all birds are flying together, and all beasts are running.
She even seemed to see time flowing like a long river, and human beings have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes and struggled endlessly.
It was a picture her short life could not comprehend, a mystery her ordinary mind could not grasp.
This moment is so alive.
"This is the world!"
This is the world.
Aniya repeated this sentence in her mind, and a vivid picture unfolded in her mind.
After a long time, she forgot the numbness of her legs and feet, and deeply admired: "Master, please teach me."
"of course."
Nios nodded in relief, still hung the map on the tent, turned and said. "Then continue with our first lesson, The World, Geography."
Anya was sitting upright, forgetting about the pain in her legs and feet.
Nios drank water with a tactic and put down the copper cup: "It has been a hundred years since the Roman Civil War, Caesar laid the foundation, and Augustus established the monarchy. During this century, the empire has grown and the hearts of the people have returned.
Today, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed on the frontier of Rome, well-trained and honed, so they cannot compete with them for the time being. "
Anya nodded slightly, concentrating.
Neos talked eloquently, with his right hand pointing backwards, and his fingertips sliding on the map. Even though his back was facing the map, he was pointing exactly the same.
The tone is even more calm, as if pointing the country.
"But the larger the territory, the more armor is needed, and the farther away the place, the weaker the control." Neos changed the subject and pointed to the location of the Rhine River.
"Fifty years ago, the Germans attacked the Roman army in a forest here. Due to the distance, it was difficult for the army to help, and the three Roman legions were wiped out.
The heavy losses directly led to the fact that the Romans never took the step of conquest across the Rhine. "
Anya's breathing became heavy.Imagine those ghostly Roman soldiers howling in the forest.
Although she kept telling herself not to think about the pain that day, when the dawn of revenge appeared, she couldn't help but have evil thoughts.
"So, far away in the frontier, the terrain is rugged, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains are densely covered with forests. Britain also has these conditions.
And compared to the Rhine River to Germany, the English Channel to Britain is like a godsend.
So we can also learn from the barbarians next door and use the same method to seek independence. "
With a calm voice, Neos pointed to the island in the lower right corner of the map and the narrow strait that separates the island from the mainland.
"And the English Channel is the key to the natural defense of the British Isles. When we learn from the Germans and successfully drive the Romans out, we can intervene in the mainland and avoid disputes when we retreat."
"Why do you want to intervene in the mainland?" Anya asked.
"Why are you asking?"
Nios smiled: "Because the world is more than just the island of Britain, and if you want to seek a real world, a unified continent is definitely not in the interests of the island country."
Anya was dumbfounded.
Seeing her expression, Neos paused, and pondered for a moment: "Maybe what I said is a bit difficult to understand, but you just need to remember one thing."
Anya held her breath.
Neos looked at her deeply, raised his index finger, and said slowly: "That is to use all methods to create a divided European continent."
"The so-called exhaustion of all methods refers to relying on coaxing, relying on deceit, relying on secret investment, relying on forming alliances, relying on the army to exert influence, relying on fighting to stir up shit..."
"In short, we must record the splitting of the Continent in the family tree and in the law of the country.
Because this will be Britain's diplomatic strategy and goal for thousands of years. "

After Boudica had breakfast, it was already daylight. After going out for morning exercises with the warriors, he returned to his tent, and Neos was already waiting at the door.
The two looked at each other and nodded, entered the account together, followed by routine reports and summaries.
In the small tent, Boudica can get information about the outside world without going out.
"The expenses in the camp have decreased. According to this trend, our food is enough to last for two months. A samurai was injured while hunting. I ordered people to collect some herbs. Although I saved my life, if I continue, I may still die. .”
"The swords and shields of the samurai need to be repaired. I asked them to go to the city to find a blacksmith. There are businessmen passing through the city these days, and they seem to come to inquire about news. I try to communicate with them to see if I can buy food."
"Paulinus's army seems to be gathering. The warriors have found scouts and spies. The Second Legion is still standing still."
"Yesterday, there was a conflict between the aborigines in London and members of the Epos tribe. Epos led his warriors to suppress it forcibly."
Boudica nodded while listening, a little distracted.
She didn't react until Neos finished speaking, and raised her head: "It's over?"
"It's over," Neos said.
"What do you think I should do?" Boudica asked.
