Chapter 778 Pendragon

The next day, it rained lightly in the middle of winter.

Bai Yu had actually been to London twice in his previous life, but if you look closely, the two cities have different styles.

The first time he went to London was when he was a child with his family. At that time, London was shrouded in white fog, people were in a hurry, wearing masks, and the air quality was not very good, which also fits the stereotype of "fog city".

In fact, due to the environmental pollution caused by the Industrial Revolution, London's environment has been quite bad for more than a century, and air pollution is particularly serious. It was only after the gradual decline of industry and the migration of capital to become a pure offshore financial center that the air quality improved.

The second time he went to London was when he was 25 years old... Because of the time difference, work efficiency, daily strikes in the UK, holidays, etc., a document that was signed in a hurry would take a full week, so he had to fly to London with his boss.

The London he saw at that time was another scene, different from the stereotype, which made him wonder if he had entered India.

The number of pickpockets is staggering. The boss's mobile phone disappeared in less than ten minutes after being placed in his outer pocket. The subway ticket price is ridiculously expensive, and the seats are dirty. There are at least three locks on bicycles on the street. There are also people robbing down jackets on the road. The most outrageous thing is that some public notices directly remind the general public that the police station will not take care of cases such as petty theft. Walking on the road, I encountered three strike teams from different unions.

It makes people's scalps numb.

It was also the second trip to London, which completely shattered the filter of foreign countries that Bai Yu had built up since childhood from "Yilin" and "Reader".

Even after traveling through time, the view of these Western countries in my heart is always a bit of the past stereotype.

The business in midwinter is not as prosperous as Rome, but relatively speaking, the living standard is also acceptable.

As long as people work for the nobles, most of them can get a decent income to support their families.

And the real lower-class people are not seen here. They usually stay in towns and rural areas all their lives.

The citizens of the capital city of Longdong who live in the city are rich.

"It's probably the level of the early 19th century..."

Bai Yu muttered to himself. It was an era when the old imperialists were encircling the world, and the atmosphere was full of gunpowder.

"What are you talking about?"

On the rainy and foggy streets, Melusina followed closely under the umbrella. The two of them were strolling under the same umbrella.

After coming to Longdong, there was actually nothing important to do. There was no need to rush to visit the royal family. You could only wait for the royal family to take the initiative to meet you.

For Melusina, this was a leisurely vacation. It was not bad to be able to hold the hand of her favorite brother and walk all the way to the end of the world.

Just...

There happened to be an extra light bulb around her.

Peggy naturally followed, and she changed into her school clothes, looking young and beautiful.

The two were engaged, and Melusina couldn't drive them away even if she was unhappy. She could only talk to attract Bai Yu's attention, mentioning some famous street scenes in Longdong's capital, and some famous old shops. She actually wanted to customize a suit for Bai Yu in Longdong's old suit shop, but the other party's appointment was scheduled for half a year later.

"The craftsmanship of this shop is really good..." As she was talking, she saw Peggy running back in the rain at the other end of the street.

No one noticed when she left.

Peggy took out something hidden under her shawl and took it out like a treasure: "Just baked croissant, try it?"

Bai Yu was not polite, took a loaf of bread, thought about it, and handed it to Melusina.

Sister Shirley just took it and saw Peggy take out a loaf of bread, tear it in half, and handed one half to Bai Yu.

"How is it?"

"It tastes good, I want to take some back."

"That's right, it's a treasure shop I discovered myself."

The two hid under the umbrella, holding the steaming bread, each eating half, with smiles on their faces.

They looked very well matched, like a couple.

Melusina also took a bite of the bread, with mixed feelings.

I have to admit that in terms of pleasing people, she, the female president, is not as good as the eldest lady of Laurennin.

The original itinerary was to take a boat to see the scenery of the Tay River, and then go to the famous opera house to enjoy the latest opera Roman Holiday, a one-day love drama between a poor boy and a princess.

But Melusina thought about it and decided to forget about the reservation and just take a walk in the city, go wherever you go, go to some places in the streets and alleys, see free museums, and visit handicrafts.

The three of them were young people with plenty of energy. They walked from the south of the city to the north of the city in seven or eight hours, and then from the north of the city to the river.

For dinner, I bought fried chicken at a street corner at a reasonable price… Although Britain is a food desert, at least there are fried chicken, French fries, cakes and desserts to satisfy your hunger.

I was in a good mood all the way until the evening, when the rain got heavier and heavier, and it was not convenient to stroll around anymore, so I had to return to the city.

I met many vehicles on the road, and even saw horse-drawn carriages.

From this, we can see the conservativeness of midwinter. Horse-drawn carriages need horses and drivers, and these two things alone cost much more money than a luxury car.

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the road, accompanied by the sound of wheels rolling.

"Get out of the way... Don't block the road."

The driver rang the bell and blew the whistle.

Bai Yu grabbed the wrists of the two women and retreated to the side of the road.

But the carriage was moving so fast that when the wheels passed by, a lot of water splashed.

The turbid water waves surged, and Bai Yu silently released his aura to shield it. The water splashed on the invisible barrier and bounced back and splashed on the wall of the carriage.

The sound was quite loud.

Someone in the carriage turned his eyes through the glass and looked out the window.

They glanced at each other and their eyes met for a moment.

Then the wheels rolled and the carriage went away.

"What was that just now?" Bai Yu asked.

"The carriage has the family crest of Pendragon."

"Pendragon?" A figure of a certain fool popped up in Bai Yu's mind: "King Arthur?"

"Whether King Arthur really existed in history is a mystery. After all, there is a break in the history of Midwinter, and only fairy tales and legends are circulated." Melusina commented: "Pendragon is not a direct descendant of King Arthur."

"After all, King Arthur died together with his descendant Mordred?"

"So they did not inherit the title of King Arthur, but the blood of the red dragon."

Peggy hugged Bai Yu's arms, looked at the direction where the carriage left and said: "It is rumored that King Arthur in history inherited the blood of the British red dragon, and the Pendragon family was also confirmed to have inherited the blood of the red dragon, so they regarded King Arthur as their ancestor and called themselves Pendragon."

Bai Yu said curiously: "Can you still recognize your ancestors like this?"

According to this statement, let's kowtow to Wu Anjun directly?

"As long as there are enough achievements, even if you claim to be your ancestor randomly, it will be taken seriously." Peggy said, "At least now, Pendragon is one of the most powerful knight families in midwinter."

Red dragon bloodline?

Bai Yu really wanted to x-on:the Dragon Mother to ask if the red dragon here is her familiar dragon.

"In the Pendragon family, there is also a unique rule..."

"The best knights of each generation of Pendragon will challenge other Knights of the Round Table."

"If you can win more than half of the Knights of the Round Table and get their recognition, you will be eligible to inherit the title of Arthur bestowed by the family, and you will add Arthur to your name."

Hearing this, Bai Yu asked directly: "So this Arthur Pendragon is the Knight King of this generation."

"That's right, although the royal family has no recognition of this, it is more like an honor circulated in the knight world."

"Who is the Knight King of this generation?" Melusina asked the key question directly: "Is it canonization?"

"It's not canonization." Peggy paused: "Who is the Knight King of this generation..."

...

In the moving carriage, there were a total of two people sitting face to face.

"Lei Zan, you should be happier."

A noble man in gorgeous clothes said with a smile: "This time, the duel agent must be you."

The man of Pendragon raised his eyes and reached out to touch the red dragon pattern on his cuffs.

"Marquis George, I don't want to get involved in such a complicated struggle for noble power."

"I know you are a pure knight, but the world of nobles has always been close to each other." George shook his head and sighed: "I have been your godfather for so many years, and I naturally know your temper, but this opportunity is really not to be missed. You will never be wrong if you listen to me."

"Soon all the nobles in Midwinter will know about this duel, and it will start under the attention of the public."

"Why do countless knights and duel agents participate in duels? Honor and prestige!"

"As long as you win this duel, you will defend the glory of the nobles in Midwinter. This will greatly enhance your reputation and make up for your ten years of hard work!"

Rezan Arthur Pendragon was not interested: "I am now a formal Knight of the Round Table and have received the blessing of the Holy Grail. Isn't that enough?"

Marquis George said without even taking a breath Said: "Your opponent this time is the Donghuang Group... No matter who the other party plans to let fight on their behalf, it is a big deal."

"In the past, the Longdong nobles suffered a lot at the hands of that Roman barbarian, and they are holding a grudge in their hearts."

"To this point today, how could the great nobles not have contributed to the situation? They are just reluctant to bleed themselves."

"As long as you win, your personal prestige will be greatly improved."

"And the Queen's birthday is approaching, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself."

"Many knights are scrambling to try this stage, it is a heaven-sent wealth."

"As a bastard, it is not easy for you to get to this point, but if you want to move up next, you must get rid of this shackle on your body and cover it with reputation."

"Only then will you have the opportunity to marry the princess and reach the peak of your life."

Marquis George also tried his best to plan the future for his godson, and persuaded him to accept it with earnest words.

Lei Zan was silent for a long time and then replied: "I will listen to the Godfather."

"Okay, okay." Marquis George was very satisfied: "I know your strength. As long as you take it seriously after entering the arena, no matter who your opponent is, you will definitely not lose!"

Lei Zan held the cuffs, as if to strangle the Red Dragon's neck: "I am not interested in the reputation of the nobility, but as long as I am on the duel field, I will naturally go all out. I just hope that the opponent is strong enough and will not let me down too much."
