[You have actually noticed this a long time ago. ]
[Because along the way, you found that Artolis's eyes were always watching it. ]
[I brought it up now, but it seems that he has been quite restrained. ]
[This time, you didn't ask any more questions, but answered directly. ]
"Okay, if you want to go, then go ahead."
Ian took what Artolis was holding into his arms.
"Let's go."
"Good!"
[Your prestige in the city is already very high. ]
[So even taking one person up the city wall is not a big problem. ]
[Artolis is very happy. ]
[He kept running in front of you along the way, and the two of you came to the city wall one after another. ]
"So...is this what it feels like to stand up here?"
Artolis, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the scene in front of him and exclaimed.
"You seem to like this feeling?"
Ian walked up to him and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Ian." Artolis nodded in confirmation, "When I was outside the city, I was thinking about whether there was a way to come here!"
"Now it's finally come true."
"Thank you, Mr. Ian."
"Thank you."
Ian, like Artolis, looked ahead, illuminated by the British sun.
What caught his eyes was the lush land near the royal capital, and the continuous large green forests.
"I'd rather know why you want to come up here so much."
"Because this is a place where you can have a bird's eye view of the whole of Britain, right?!" Artolis showed a completely different liveliness from before.
"This is my ideal place with the widest view!"
Not really.
No matter how big or high the royal capital is, it is impossible to have a bird's eye view of the entire Britain.
After all, if that were the case, it would be impossible to cover up the defeat on the front line.
but--
These words made Ian stare at Artolis in front of him.
He could feel that the young man in front of him seemed to be carrying some unspeakable responsibility.
"By the way, Artolis, you said you have an older brother, right?"
"Yes." Artolis turned around and nodded.
"I do have an older brother."
"Then -" Ian showed a hypocritical smile, "Why are you here to sell the apples and not your brother?"
"Because my father wanted to train me."
Artolis replied without thinking.
"It was a very good experience to hike here pushing a wooden cart full of apples like this. I learned a lot along the way."
"You mean hungry?"
"This is an accident." Artolis scratched his face in embarrassment, "I didn't expect to meet so many people who didn't have enough to eat along the way."
"Apples are absolutely not allowed to be given to them, so I can only share my rations with them."
Ian was about to ask what was going on with the underfed people, but he completely realized it the moment before the sound happened.
As Vortigern said, the land of Britain is undergoing great changes as the age of gods recedes.
The yields of the land are steadily decreasing.
In addition, the front line where the two armies were facing each other also required a large amount of supplies, which made the already unsatisfactory output even worse.
Now even the richest royal capital has been affected.
This is what Artolis saw along the way.
"..." Ian smiled awkwardly.
"Artolis, you are such a kind man."
"Well..." Artolis curled his lips, "Rather than being praised for my kindness, I want to know how to solve this problem."
"Hunger is everyone's eternal enemy, right?"
"Hmm...probably so."
[ Sensing that you seemed reluctant to mention this matter, Artolis changed the subject. ]
[He asks you if you can go a little further. ]
[He wishes he could see more broadly in this way. ]
[Because you didn't reject him just now. ]
[Artolis is even more happy to have your permission. ]
[He leaned on the twin peaks of the city wall and looked at the scenery in the distance. ]
[You looked at his back and suddenly had a terrible thought. ]
Although Artolis fits Ian's knowledge in every sense.
After all, he still might have seen something he shouldn't have seen.
Although this possibility has been declining rapidly during this period of time together.
But for the safest reasons, Ian knew that he should kill Artolis.
He couldn't allow any dangerous cracks in Morgan's future.
And now, there was an excellent opportunity in front of him.
It is not a battle time now, so there are no other soldiers stationed on the city wall, only Ian and Artolis are here.
And Artolis obviously had no defense against Ian - he even stood on tiptoes in front of him.
If you push him off the city wall at this time, it is basically impossible for you to be considered as the one who actually did it.
The reason is simple:
He and Artolis had no grievances on the surface, and the two had been hanging out in the city in a fairly close relationship for so long.
How could you possibly push him down when you deliberately brought him to the city wall, knowing that you were alone?
In addition, Morgan will definitely protect himself.
Even if his brother and father came later, they could still excuse him by saying he had made a mistake.
This is much easier to deal with than letting him die on a trail.
Suffice it to say, this is a foolproof method.
But--
Ian looked at Artolis's excited back, but felt that his hand could not pull the sword blade out of the scabbard.
He knew that killing Artolis was the safest and foolproof way for Morgan.
[You hesitated rarely. ]
[Although only a few seconds have passed, you feel like centuries have passed. ]
[You feel that your confidence has been shaken. ]
[You realize that this is not okay and is disloyal to Morgan. ]
[You wake up and get ready to take action. ]
[But what you didn't expect was that something unexpected happened at this time. ]
[You saw that the two city bricks used by Artolis to support his body were slightly loosened, and then they broke like pieces. ]
[You realize that something happened to the city wall due to its disrepair. ]
[Artolis really fell from the city wall as you expected, and it was a perfect accident. ]
[You now have two choices: rush over and save Artolis immediately, or sit back and wait for the results you need. ]
