Cheng Yan feels like someone is calling him.
“Your Highness, wake up …”
He didn’t even think about it, but his voice didn’t disappear, but it grew louder. He felt someone reach out and gently pull his sleeves.
“His Royal Highness, His Highness the Prince!”
Cheng Yan opened his eyes sharply, the familiar screen was gone, the desk was gone, and the paper-filled walls were gone. It was replaced by a weird view of — low masonry houses, crowded The circular square, and the gallows erected in the center of the square. He was sitting on a high platform across the square, not a soft swivel chair under his butt, but a cold, hard iron chair. There was a circle of people around him, watching him intently. Several of them were dressed as ghosts and medieval ladies, covering their mouths and laughing.
What the **** is this place? Shouldn’t I be in a hurry for drawings? Cheng Yan‘s mind was completely blank. For three consecutive days of overtime work, he had reached the limit of his spirit and body. Just remember that he couldn’t hold it in the end. His heartbeat became slower and slower. I wanted to rest on my desk for a while …
“Your Highness, please declare the verdict.”
The speaker is the guy who secretly pulled his sleeve. He is old, about 50 or 60 years old, wearing a white robe, and at first looks a bit like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings.
Am I dreaming? Cheng Yan licked her dry lips, verdict, what verdict?
But he soon learned that people in the square looked at the gallows, waved their fists, and occasionally one or two stones flew towards the gallows.
Cheng Yan has only seen such an ancient torture — in the movie. The pillars on both sides are about four meters high. A wooden beam is mounted on the top of the pillar, and a rusty iron ring is inlaid in the middle. The yellow thick hemp ropes passes through the iron ring. One end is fixed under the gallows, and the other end is placed around the prisoner’s neck.
In this weird dream, he found that his eyesight became amazing and easy to use. He could not see the characters on the display screen without glasses, but now every detail on the scaffold 50 meters away can See it clearly.
The prisoner wore a hood and both hands was tied back behind him. The rough gray shirt was as dirty as a rag. The body was thin, and the exposed ankle seemed to be able to be pinched. The chest slightly bulged, and it appeared to be a woman. She shivered in the wind, but still tried to stand upright.
Well, what crime has this guy committed, so many people are waiting for her to be hanged in indignation?
As soon as I thought about it, memory in Cheng Yan‘s brain seemed to be turned on suddenly, and the answer came to our eyes almost at the same time.
She is an “witch“.
Trapped by Devil and fallen, the incarnation of the unclean.
“His Royal Highness?” Gandalf urged cautiously.
He glanced at the other side. Alas, he wasn’t called Gandalf. Barov was his real name. Minister of Finance‘s assistant was sent to handle government affairs for himself.
I am Fourth Prince and Roland of Kingdom of Greycastle. Border Town’s residents caught witch and were immediately transferred to the police station —. It was wrongly transferred to the court. The warrant for the execution of witch is generally issued by the local feudal lord or the bishop. Since he is in power here, it is also a matter of issuing a warrant.
memory presents the questions one by one that he needs to answer most. No screening or reading is needed, as if it was his own experience. Cheng Yan was confused for a moment, and absolutely no dream can achieve such details. So, this is not a dream? He traveled to the dark ages of medieval Europe and became Roland? From a drawing dog rushing to work overnight into a dignified Fourth Prince?
Although this kingdom territory looks so barren and backward, the name Kingdom of Greycastle has never been seen in history books.
So what should we do next?
How exactly this unscientific thing can happen can be studied later, but this farce must be terminated — The disaster is unfortunately attributed to some poor ghosts is the normal state of uncivilized civilization, but therefore It is necessary to hang people to satisfy the dark mentality of the onlookers, this foolish Cheng Yan is really unacceptable.
He grabbed the warrant that Barov was holding and threw it to the ground, and stretched out, “Sleepy, I’ll sentence it another day, let’s loose today!”
Cheng Yan does not act recklessly, but carefully reflects on the prince’s behavior style in memory, and reproduces the spirit of his own behavior. That’s right, Fourth Prince itself is so **** and has a bad personality. Having said that, one can count on how good a prince in his early twenties and no one can control.
The noble sitting on the high platform looked strange, but a tall man wearing an armor stood up, “His Royal Highness, this is not a joke! Once the identity of witch is confirmed, it should be executed immediately, otherwise it will attract other witch What should I do to take her away? Church knows that she won’t sit idly by. “
Carter Lannis, this decent man is actually his Chief Knight. Cheng Yan frowned, “Why, are you afraid?” The naked ridicule in his words was not completely acting. robust man, whose arm was thicker than others’ body, was actually worried about being robbed by the other party, and really used witch as the spokesperson for Devil? “Isn’t it better to have a few more games?”
Seeing that he no longer speaks, Cheng Yan waved his hand and greeted the guard to take himself away. Carter hesitated, or kept up with the team and walked beside Fourth Prince. The other nobles stood up and bowed to greet them, but Yu Guang of Cheng Yan could see the unconcealed contempt in the eyes of this group of people.
Returning to the palace —, which is located in the castle south of Border Town, ordered the guard to stop the anxious Assistant Minister outside the hall door, and he was slightly relieved.
As a person who deals with computers 90% of the time, being able to perform such a show in front of everyone is beyond the standard. Cheng Yan found his bedroom according to the position in memory, and sat down on the bed for a while before suppressing the violent heartbeat. The most important thing right now is to figure out situation. As a prince, don’t stay well in Kingdom Capital. What to do in this wasteland?
I don’t want to be okay. As soon as the thought came out, he was startled by the answer.
Roland Wimbledon came for the throne.
The origin of everything comes from King of Greycastle Wimbledon III’s decree: To inherit this kingdom, it is not the prince who was born first that has the highest priority, but the person who has the best ability to govern the country. He sent the five children of adulthood to various territories under management, and five years later decided who would be Crown Prince based on the level of governance.
It is a very advanced concept that the capable person, plus the equality of men and women, sounds like a problem. The problem is that the actual implementation is completely different. Who can guarantee that all five start conditions are the same? This is not a real-time strategy game. As far as he knows, Second Prince gets much better territory than Border Town. —, uh, so there seems to be no worse place than Border Town among the five people.
In addition, how to evaluate the level of governance and population? military? economic? Wimbledon III did not mention any standards and did not place any restrictions on competition. What if someone plays the assassination in private? Queen Watching his son kill each other? Wait … He thought back carefully, good thing, and another bad news, Queen passed away five years ago.
Cheng Yan sighed, it is clear that this is a brutal and dark feudal era. You can see one or two from wanton hunting of witch. Dressing as a prince is a very high starting point. Besides, even if he didn’t get the throne, he is still the blood of King of Greycastle. As long as he can survive, the title is considered to be a feudal lord.
And … what if you do King? Without the Internet and the modern civilization‘s moisturization, he has to be like this group of indigenous people. He has nothing to do with burning witch, living in a city where the feces are dumped at random, and finally dying from the predatory of the Black Death?
Cheng Yan suppressed the thoughts of chaos in his heart and walked to the floor-standing mirror in the bedroom. The person in the mirror had a light gray curly hair, which is the most distinctive feature of the Greycastle royal family. The facial features are still upright, that is, his face is not straight, and his temperament is completely absent. She is pale and lacks exercise. As for whether he was addicted to wine, he recalled that it seemed okay. There were several lovers in Kingdom Capital, all of which were voluntary and had not done anything to force others.
And for the reason of crossing, Cheng Yan also guessed that — should be the promotion of the inhumanity of Party A. The boss arranged a sudden death caused by overtime work overnight. The protagonist of this type of case is likely to be with the farmer. Mechanical dog, engineering lion.
Both, no matter what you think, this is at least one extra life, and you shouldn’t complain too much. In the days to come, he may be able to slowly reverse this life, but the primary task at present is to play Fourth Prince well, not to let others discover the horse’s feet, and directly attach it to the torture post as an attachment of Devil.
“In this case, live well,” he take a deep breath whispered into the mirror, “from now on, I am Roland.”
