Chapter 403 We Can’t Go...

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Su Cheng's home.

It is already time for dinner. Kailuoer is preparing dinner for everyone in the kitchen, while Alan and Deng Jiaer, who have nothing to do, are sitting on the sofa in the hall, waiting for dinner to be cooked. At the same time, we chatted together for a while.

"I wonder when this roundtable meeting will be held?" Alan asked.

"Generally speaking, the round table conference will be held for several days in a row, usually 3 to 5 days." Deng Jiale replied, "The longest round table conference in the history of our Britannia Empire has been held. A full 8 days.”

"It's going to take several days..." Alan's face suddenly collapsed, "That means the Merit and Reward Conference will have to wait for a few more days... Forget it, it's only a few days anyway, wait until it starts After the merit-discussion and reward meeting, we can go to the south to play."

Speaking of this, Alan's face burst into joy again: "I have long wanted to see what an elephant looks like! When I followed my brother to the southern front line, I thought I could see an elephant. What happened? I haven’t seen any…”

"Elephants...compared to elephants, I want to taste the taste of those fruits that are only available in the south."

As Deng Jiaer said this, he wiped the corner of his mouth where saliva was dripping.

"Deng Jiaer, didn't you say that your hometown is in the southeast of the empire? If your hometown is in the southeast, you should have seen elephants and eaten southern fruits, right?"

"You have completely misremembered it!" Deng Jiaer said angrily, "My hometown - the Duke of North Munster is in the northwest of the empire! Like Kailuo Er, I am both a northerner! How could I have seen a big Have you ever eaten southern fruits?”

"So your hometown is in the northwest." Alan rubbed his little head, "It seems that I remembered it wrong. I remembered it as the southeast."

"I really don't know how you remembered it, you remembered it completely backwards..."

"I don't care about such small things!" Alan waved his hand, "Let's have a good discussion about going to the south! This time I go to the south, I plan to buy a lot of unique local handicrafts!"

"Do you have so much money?" Deng Jiaer looked at Alan suspiciously.

"Just ask my brother for it." Alan said in a casual tone, "I have contributed so much to this 'Xia Feng' offensive, so it is reasonable to ask my brother for some money as a reward, right?"

"I don't think sir will care about you...handicrafts...compared to handicrafts, I want to taste all the delicacies in the south."

"You really like to eat. Haven't you noticed that you seem to have a little more meat on your body?"

"Hey, that's long! What's wrong with liking delicious food? Besides, I haven't gained more meat! You just saw it wrong!"

As soon as Deng Jiaer finished speaking, Kailuoer's voice came from the kitchen:

"Dinner is ready! It's time to eat!"

As Kyler said this, he walked out of the kitchen carrying a large plate filled with noodles.

"It's time to eat~~" Alan cheered and walked quickly towards the dining table.

And Deng Jiaer, who has always been greedy, naturally followed closely behind.

"When I was in the kitchen just now, I heard you guys chatting intensely." Kailuoer asked Alan, "What were you talking about?"

"We didn't talk about anything." Alan replied, "We were just discussing what to do after going to the south. I said that I wanted to buy a lot of unique handicrafts from the south. Deng Jiaer said that I wanted to taste all the delicacies in the south."

Speaking of this, Alan paused, and then asked Kailuoer:

"Kaylor, is there anything you want to do after you go to the south?"

"Is there anything you want to do..."

Kailuoer raised his head slightly and thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"There are so many things I want to do and eat that I can't even name. But as long as I can play with you, I'll be happy."

After saying this,

Kyler turned his head and shouted in the direction of the stairs:

"Cheng! Dinner is ready! You can come down and eat!"

…

quiet……

No answer came.

"Cheng——!" Kailuo's voice was louder this time than before, "Dinner is ready!"

quiet……

Still no answer came.

After seeing that Su Cheng, who was in his room, still didn't respond after calling him twice, Kai Luoer couldn't help but frowned slightly.

In the past, Su Cheng would respond to her quickly and then go downstairs immediately.

Like now, it is rare for Kailuoer to shout twice without responding.

"It seems that since that weirdo came to our house just now and sent a letter to my brother, my brother has never left the door or gone downstairs." Alan frowned.

Just now, a man wrapped in a large robe and a large hood knocked on their door.

The person who opened the door was Kyler who happened to be on the first floor.

After Kai Luoer opened the door, the weirdo told Kai Luoer bluntly that he was looking for Su Cheng.

After Kailuoer found Su Cheng who was in his room at the time, the weirdo handed a letter to Su Cheng. After giving the letter to Su Cheng, the weirdo left.

After Su Cheng took the letter from this weirdo, he immediately returned to his room.

Until now, Su Cheng has not come out of the room.

"I'm going to ask my brother to come down. Really, what are you doing in the room..." After that, Alan, who was already sitting at the dining table, was about to get up.

——But he was quickly pushed back by Kailuoer.

"Alan, Deng Jiaer, you two should eat first. I'll ask Cheng to come down."

After saying that, Kyler walked quickly towards the stairs.

Su Cheng's room, like Kailuo's room, is located on the highest floor of the house, which is the third floor.

Quickly climbing up to the third floor and arriving at Su Cheng's door, Kailuo knocked on Su Cheng's door: "Cheng, come down for dinner. Dinner is ready."

quiet……

Still no response.

"Did you really fall asleep..." Kai Luoer muttered, "It's still early now... Cheng can't possibly sleep so early... Then - I'll be rude first."

After muttering a few words like this, Carol raised his hand and grabbed the doorknob of Su Cheng's door, and opened the wooden door that was not locked.

If there was one thing that had the most in Su Cheng's room, it would undoubtedly be books.

Su Cheng had so many books that he had nowhere to put them, and they were piled up in various places in the room.

After entering Su Cheng's room, Kai Luoer smelled a faint "book smell".

"Cheng? You didn't sleep."

After entering Su Cheng's room, Kai Luoer immediately began to move his eyes to search for Su Cheng's figure.

Soon, Kailuol found Su Cheng.

Su Cheng was standing in front of his desk.

He was lowering his head and seemed to be looking at something.

"Really..." Kailuoer said angrily, "Cheng, since you haven't slept, why don't you respond to me properly——"

"Kaylor..."

Before Kai Luo Er finished speaking, Su Cheng interrupted in a low voice.

His tone was full of exhaustion and helplessness.

"We...may not be able to go to the south to play..."

"Huh?" Kailuoer looked at Su Cheng with confusion and astonishment, "Cheng, what happened?"

"...I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet. This is considered a state secret after all. I can't tell it to others until it's time to tell it..." Su Cheng said as he put the letter in his hand into a bag next to him. Inside the oil lamp, let the flames in the lamp burn the letter to ashes.

After throwing the letter into the oil lamp, Su Cheng raised his head and looked through the window next to the desk in front of him to the sky outside the house.

"Oh...please spare me..."

Looking at the sky outside the house, Su Cheng sighed.

The tone was full of exhaustion and helplessness.

At the same time, there is also a bit more...painful color...

…

…

This roundtable meeting did not last for many days.

On October 25, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire, this, the 26th Round Table Conference of the Empire, lasted for 5 days and finally ended successfully.

The meeting was not sabotaged or interfered by any enemy spies, and it can be regarded as a rare and very smooth meeting in history.

This roundtable meeting discussed a lot of things, and most of the issues discussed were related to how to enhance the imperial military power.

In addition to rebuilding the Knights of Michael and forming the fourth Knights, many reforms in the military system were also discussed.

The end of the round table meeting also announced that those participants who came from afar can leave Pendragon...

…

"Jacob, are you here to see me off?" Humphrey, standing by the carriage door, smiled at Jacob who was standing in front of him.

"Yes. I came to see you off." Jacob replied with a smile, "But this is just one of the reasons why I came to you. Another purpose of coming to you is to ask you. Are you really not going to meet him? Aren’t you going to meet the new leader of the Knights of Michael and your future partner?”

"No need." Humphrey waved his hand, "There's nothing to see. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the north. It doesn't matter if it takes just a minute. I want to return to the north as soon as possible."

"And—I'll meet him in the North soon, won't I?"

With that, Humphrey climbed into the carriage.

"Thank you, Jacob, thank you for coming to see me off. I don't know if I have time to attend this year's year-end dinner. If I have time to attend, then we will see you at this year's year-end dinner!"

"Well, Humphrey, have a nice trip!"

"Take care, Jacob, and take some rest. Driver, let's start."

The experienced coachman waved the reins, and the carriage immediately began to move slowly.

The hundreds of elite cavalry responsible for protecting Humphrey immediately got on their horses, guarded tightly around Humphrey's carriage, and set off with Humphrey's carriage toward the outside of Pendragon and toward the north.

…

Humphrey lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out of the carriage.

The group of them had already sailed out of Pendragon.

Outside the window was the scenery on the outskirts of the imperial capital that Humphrey was very familiar with.

Looking at the mountain flowers and trees slowly falling backwards outside the window, Humphrey murmured: "Did you choose him to be the new leader of the Michael Knights in the end..."

"Really... I really don't know if my choice is right..."

After saying that, Humphrey sighed softly, then closed the curtains and began to close his eyes and rest.

The carriage continued to move forward, heading towards the north.
