To Four Thousand Years Later

It's a **** of a weather. Wearing a cashmere robe yesterday, I could feel the chilly spring. But even if he only wore a shirt today, Oliver felt that the heat was too much.

The boy sat in the shadows on the edge of the window sill, listening to the clash of swords below. Looking up at the blue sky, I was a little worried. If the temperature suddenly drops later, those idiots are probably going to catch a cold.

"Why, are you hot, little Oliver?"

A gentle voice full of laughter sounded behind him: "You were still too cold yesterday.

"One moment and another. Winter is going to pass after all.

Oliver turned his head and bowed his head respectfully to say hello: "Good morning, Mr. Turpin. May the wisdom of King Solomon be with you.

"May he bless you too. Polite little fellow.

Tupin chuckled, raised his robe and sat beside Oliver.

Oliver moved his body slightly to make room for the great court mage.

Tuping is an intellectual leader from the Holy See, that is, a wise man sent by the Holy See in the name of a court mage to teach the royal children and assist in the management of government affairs. Noble families can invite ordinary intellectuals, while the royal family is generally sent by the Holy See to a famous great intellectual. The old man—if he could be called an old man—had been at Fark for more than ten years. Neither Prince Charles nor Carloman, however. This old man with white beard and white hair is not only good at fencing and unarmed combat, but also proficient in riding and archery. He even has the same drinking capacity as the Goths, and he is in better health than His Majesty Pepin.

The only thing that can prove that he is an old man is the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead.

It is said that Tupin was the Archbishop of the Frankish Diocese before he became an Inspector. If it were not for His Majesty Pepin and the Holy See's friendship in the past, the Pope would not have sent the only supervisor to Frank.

Only an archbishop who voluntarily renounces the Pope's succession can become an intellectual leader. In the last hundred years, this is the only leader of the Solomon Church.

His Excellency Tuping's name alone caused the small border countries that had good relations with the Frankish Kingdom to send their heirs to Frankish one after another.

On the one hand, it is to let His Excellency Turpin teach them the great wisdom of governing the country and being a man, and on the other hand. There is also the idea of ​​allowing the future kings of several countries to get along with each other in a friendly and intimate way, and at the same time bring valuable peace to the future.

and

Oliver sighed softly. When will real peace come? .

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about that kind of thing. No matter when complete peace will come, I will never see it in my life. Solomon once said, "Whoever sees far away instead of near things will be hindered." Oliver believes deeply.

"Good morning, Mr. Tupin!"

"May King Solomon's wisdom and evil be with you!"

"May the righteous and good Bodhisattva protect you!" Seeing Mr. Tuping sitting on the edge of the window sill, the teenagers fencing below saluted him one after another.

"Qinghao, please continue to practice your skills. I'm watching. Old Tuping greeted everyone with a smile. Encouraged by him, the clang of young people's swords clashing also became louder up.

"Aren't you going to go down and compete with them, little Oliver?" Zhe Tuping glanced at Oliver, and said pointedly: "Look at how fierce Roland and Charles are fighting.

"At least I think so. Oliver shook his head subconsciously, and then worried that Turpin would think he was timid. He quickly added: "I mean between us. There is no need to compare who is the strongest. The prince won't look down on me just because I lost the sword competition, will he?

"What's more, compared with Roland and the others, my background is really low. Swords have no eyes. If they hurt them, even if they don't care, I will care.

Oliver said seriously: "There is a difference between honor and inferiority. Even if it's just swordsmanship practice, only noble children can hurt the prince.

"That's right, you're too cautious and calm.

The gentle smile on Tupin's face slightly retracted, and he sighed: "I'm not blaming you. But you are still young and you can still be a carefree child.

"I don't have to."

Oliver smiled and replied: "Someone should grow up first.

"Actually, you don't have to think of Charles too weakly. Bi oh, yo!" Tupin was about to say something when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and greeted Oliver behind him with a strange smile.

Oliver realized something, and before he could turn around, he was hugged from behind.

"Guess who I am

The joyful and melodious voice dragged a long tone of happy people.

But under the sudden hug of the man, Oliver, who was sitting on the edge of the window sill, suddenly fell forward, and he was about to fall from the second floor.

Astolfo! You stupid! "

Oliver, who fell from the building, was out of breath and yelled loudly.

Tu Ping, on the other hand, laughed heartily, while raising the wooden stick in his hand. A hallucinatory pool appeared out of nowhere in the air. The two young boys who fell fell into the pool, making a plopping sound as if they really fell into the water, and the water splashed up. The falling speed of the two slowed down rapidly, and they slowly sank to the ground. And the two of them struggled in the water in a panic as if they were really drowning. until they touch the ground. He suddenly woke up from the hallucination. Astolfo happily waved upstairs, without any panic.

"Hey, are you an idiot!? It's dangerous! And Oliver blushed. Grabbing the hem of Jo Astolfo's clothes and yelling loudly. Beside them, ah!"

"Hey, Roland! Tell me about Astolfo!

"I don't think there is any problem. Lord Turpin is watching, you will be safe." The young man in the white tight short-sleeved shirt shrugged.

Oliver felt a little out of strength, and sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, "But," Charles swung the sword in his hand into a sword flower, inserted it back into the sheath around his waist, and reprimanded Astolfo seriously: "But , Remember not to engage in such dangerous actions next time. Especially don't try to put your brothers in danger. Even if it is a building, it is possible to fall.

"Yes! Yes, Your Highness! I remember!" The pretty and lovely long-haired boy saluted Prince Charles with a smile: "But I brought Oliver down. Is there any reward?" Reward You can copy Proverbs ten times with less penalty.

Charles glared at Astolfo: "There are still thirteen times, remember that I will check after copying this week.

"Eleven times, you remember wrongly.

Astolfo corrected: "Grandpa Turpin said he would cut me two articles!"

"you

Charles sighed helplessly and shook his head. Just as he was about to reprimand the naughty boy, suddenly a huge thunderbolt fell in the clear sky, startling almost everyone. Except Turpin and Oh Stolford.

Charles, on the other hand, froze in place as if he had been shocked by lightning.

"Your Highness?

Roland was keenly aware of something wrong: "Are you tired?"

No. fine. Charles said slowly, shaking his head. Roland noticed that Charles raised his eyes and looked around, glanced at the top of everyone's head, and then said calmly: "I have something to say to Lord Turpin. Before you continue, Roland, help me look." Down.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Although he felt a little puzzled, Roland still nodded respectfully to Charles.
