Odd Containment Specialist

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and replied, "I am here by order to find the secret of immortality and bring it back to the emperor."

"You can't take it back! Because you will die soon!" Charlie squinted his eyes and laughed with gritted teeth, the laughter suppressed in his throat with a strong sense of mockery.

Xia Shou's hair exploded, the hair on his body stood up, and every inch of skin on his body became extremely sensitive. The extraordinary power of the scorpion spine along the invisible meridians formed by the spell power allowed him to enter a state of flow that mortals could hardly imagine. He even seemed to be able to see the scene behind him.

Will he be attacked?

No, not!

The audience around was still cheering. The human in the gladiatorial maze had just had his belly torn by a blood slave, and his internal organs were thrown all over the floor while screaming.

The head in King Charlie's hand was still blinking and smiling, and the duke behind Charlie was still silently lowering his head.

It seemed that no one wanted to attack him, but Su Weiyu had already placed the silver sword on Charlie's neck.

But even Charles I only stared at him mockingly, without any intention of attacking him.

"Why?" Xia Shou asked hoarsely.

Charles I blinked, threw his head back to Duke George, and then glanced at Xia Shou.

"Follow me."

Xia Shou hurriedly followed, he had a hunch that this time he was really going to get to the point.

Xia Shou followed behind Charles, who walked so fast that he had to jog to keep up.

This time, none of the ministers who followed him followed, only he and Charles walked quickly in the dead silent palace corridor.

Su Weiyu held the silver sword tightly in one hand and the pages of the Bible in the other hand, ready to take action at any time, but did not dare to get too close. He followed them ten steps away, and secretly swore in his heart that he must practice idealistic martial arts well after returning, so as not to be so passive next time he encountered such a situation.

Then, Charlie pushed open a huge and extremely heavy metal door with one hand. The sound of the door hinges rubbing proved that this door weighed at least several tons, but Charlie pushed it open as easily as pushing open a wooden door.

When he pushed the door, his palm touched the door, making a hissing sound, and the smell of burning spread in the air.

Xia Shou then noticed that this might be a door made of pure silver, and it was engraved with a cross that was specially used to restrain vampires!

Why would there be such a door in the palace? How could Charles I allow such a door to exist?

Charlie walked in through the one-meter-wide gap in the door and said on the other side: "Come in."

Xia Shou walked into the room, and as Charlie snapped his fingers, hundreds of white candles on a dozen hanging lamps automatically lit up, and the soft light filled the huge collection hall... Xia Shou regarded this as a collection hall, because there were many exquisite-looking utensils here.

"Look, look." Charlie pointed to a huge painting on the wall for Xia Shou to see.

Xia Shou looked up at the painting with confusion. In the painting, there was a very majestic man, facing the outside of the painting, and a woman was kneeling in front of him. Because there was only the back of the woman kneeling, the specific appearance of the woman in the painting could not be seen.

But just from the back, one could feel that the woman was very beautiful.

Xia Shou looked at the painting carefully, but still did not see anything special.

Until his eyes fell on the corner of the painting, that is, the position behind the veil behind the man sitting on the golden throne. Behind the floating veil were a group of servants who were slightly bent over. Because of the veil, only shadows were reflected on the veil, but one person appeared in the gap of the veil blown by the wind, revealing the lower half of his face and one eye.

Xia Shou's pupils dilated, and he looked at that area in shock, holding his breath.

A bit like...

No, actually very similar!

Isn't that Alice? !

How could Alice appear in this 16th century painting?

"Haha, haha... did you see it?"

Charlie raised his eyebrows, his expression was very intriguing, and he seemed to be very pitiful to Xia Shou: "Master Xia, you don't seem to know who the spirit behind you is."

Xia Shou frowned and quickly calmed down: "What's going on?"

"I don't know if you know the myths and legends of our country about King Arthur. The man in the painting is King Arthur."

"I know a little bit."

"Then I'll just talk about it briefly." Charlie took out a golden wine bowl from his shawl, and then he took out a bottle of wine.

He put the bowl on the table, looked at the huge painting, poured wine into it, and narrated:

"The name of this painting is "The Judgment of King Arthur", and the kneeling woman is King Arthur's queen, Guinevere.

It is said that Queen Guinevere has amazing beauty, enough to make all men's hearts beat, but she betrayed King Arthur and had an affair with Lancelot.

However, although the two had an affair, it was not adultery, but a simple platonic spiritual love, not involving physical desire.

And the final outcome of the two was that when they were having a tryst in the palace, Gawain and Mordred, who knew all the inside story and had ulterior motives, secretly led 13 knights to catch them.

During the arrest, Lancelot fought hard to escape, and Guinevere was brought to King Arthur. Although King Arthur wanted to forgive Guinevere, under the condemnation of the knights and under the majesty of the king, he had no choice but to burn Guinevere at the stake.

And this is the scene shown in the painting now, where King Arthur is announcing the final punishment to his queen. "

"That's not what I want to know, it's -"

"I know." Charlie chuckled, then shrugged, "But I don't know who she is."

"Since she appears above, it proves that King Arthur really existed. Arthur was the king of ancient Britain, and you are the current king, and then you tell me you don't know?"

"King...King...I am not the king of this country." Charles I laughed.

Xia Shou responded in silence, his mind running rapidly.

"I am not a real royal family. The royal family of Britain has always been divided into two sides." Charles I opened his arms, as if he deliberately wanted to show his figure to Xia Shou, raised his chin slightly, and declared self-deprecatingly, "I am Britain. The King of Surfaces.”

It seems that the British royal family in history was not as simple as it seemed.

Xia Shou thought to himself.

"Now that we've talked about it, let's not beat around the bush. What do you want to do when you come to me?" Xia Shou said straight to the point.

"You are about to die because of this female ghost behind you." Charlie said sternly, "Tell me what this ghost is capable of."
