Trafford’s Trading Club

The matter of Her Majesty's Theatre was sent to both the Government and the Cavalier Institution at the first moment.

Both sides were angry at the same time.

In particular, the Knightly Institution thought that at least the danger of the 'myth of the end of the day' had been temporarily lifted. It was not expected that the other party would draw wages at the bottom of the cauldron, and that Hardson had been taken from the theater by Her Majesty the Queen.

The news was also blocked by the Government for the first time - at present, so the audience in the theatre is temporarily housed in the theatre lounge and lobby, while demanding that any means of communication be cut off.

The police arrived first, and then the MI came - and finally Gareth, who had just completed his mission on the Eurostar Train orbit, actually brought a team to the scene himself.

“Who are they? ”

One policeman couldn't help but ask his own companion, very surprised - just 10 minutes ago, they gave way directly to people from MI... but now it's the turn of these MI guys to give way to these guys.

“How do I know?” The companion shook his head, and there were some incredible people on his face who seemed rather disgusted to be ‘invited' out by the group.

The theater was sealed off by this group.

At this time, in the theater.

Mr. Gareth stood in the room used for the Queen's performance - he had already found signs of a struggle here, except that after the tree had been cut off, the struggle in the room was not heavy.

The battle didn't seem to last long… or was it a one-sided battle?

But Lancelot is next to the queen... who can easily suppress Lancelot? Gareth became more and more puzzled - even if he was injured last night in the face of Farrell, Lancelot and England couldn't help it.

He and Joker Dagonit were actually less injured than Lancelot... his and Joker's armor was interrupted by Farrell before it unfolded, so the armor wasn't damaged much.

But Lancelot was hard-boiled by Farrell after wearing the holy armor.

A knight, calling from under the stage at this time, seemed to have found something… Mr. Gareth jumped straight off the stands.

The knight came with a middle-aged man.

“Mr. Snay.” Gareth shouted quite nicely at the middle-aged man.

He is a magician hired by the Knights, and although he is a member of the Magician's Association, he has been British for generations and has remained in Britain since the success of the Magician's Association certification.

“Mr. Gareth.” Mr. Snow nodded, "I found residues of some secret drugs on the scene, and samples taken from which audiences have been tested, the same substance. It's an instantly comatose poison, but harmless. ”

“Secret pharmacist...” Gareth frowned, "According to what we have, there is indeed a senior cadre in ‘Myth of the End’ who is a secret pharmacist, called... ”

“Tipp.” Moreover, he is not really a secret pharmacist, as he was permanently disqualified by the Magician's Association from certifying a secret pharmacist on suspicion of cheating and poisoning the examiner, "Mr. Sney said softly. ”

At this point, another knight walked quickly, “Mr. Gareth, we've investigated everything. Apart from the disappearance of the Queen and Lord Lancelot, there are only two actors in the troupe. ”

“Actor?” Gareth frowned.

“'Caesar,' said the knight, 'is the actor of the male lead, and Judas, an important character in the play...”

“Caesar…” Gareth was conscious of the name.

“Sir, what do you have in mind? ”

Gareth shook his head, “No... no idea. By the way, Mr. Snow, can you use tracking magic? ”

“No,” Mr. Snay shook his head: "No useful media was found here, the tracking technique could not be used... Sorry. ”

“Never mind.” Gallus patted him on the shoulder… but his heart was stunned.

At this point, the phone rings.

Phone call from the cavalry.

When Gareston answered, his face changed slightly, “Really?!! ”

……

“What! A day's time... before dawn tomorrow?!” 10 Downing Street, angry first pressed the urge to almost drop the phone, “Pupkins, I hope you're just kidding me! ”

“I think I wish I was in the mood to make such a bad joke with you. But that is not the case… Prime Minister.” Mr. Pupkins' voice seems somewhat helpless.

Just a minute ago, the knighthood received a teaser from the ‘Myth of the End' leader.

It reads as follows:

Number one: Unconditional release of all members of the 'Myth of the End' is required.

Secondly: the demand for ceding the Northern Ireland region by tomorrow's sunrise, otherwise by tomorrow's sunrise they will publicly execute Her Majesty.

……

“This is a joke. Can't the whole British Empire handle a few thugs in the district?! ”

The prime minister growled: "Mr. Pupkins, I wonder if the funds that have been allocated to your knighthood every year for so many years have been spent on Japanese pigs! ”

In the knighthood, Mr. Pupkins took the phone away from his ear... he was getting bored there in the mood to hear this man roar at 10 Downing Street.

The Prime Minister was anxious only to see Her Majesty threatened - and Mr. Copkins was also worried about Farrell's escape.

“I won't trust you anymore, Pupkins!” The phone was hung up after a sudden cold statement.

This leaves Mr. Pupkins with a bad feeling… He looks at the pendulum clock on the wall in silence, about 14 hours from tomorrow's sunrise.

He sighed, stood up, turned around... the hanging painting on the wall behind him automatically moved away, revealing a huge screen as well.

The screen opens and there are seven faces on top of the screen… these are the heads of the knighthood agencies everywhere.

“Ladies and gentlemen, that is the case… we need to know immediately the whereabouts of the Queen. It would be the scariest and most ridiculous joke in the history of my country if the enemy were to publicly execute the queen this time. ”

“Go ahead, Pupkins. Your call? ”

Mr. Pupkins took a deep breath and said positively: "Start the Holy Grail. ”

On the screen, the crowd instantly silenced down… a strange smell, even across the screen, seemed to diffuse slowly in a place that gave itself away because of the dialogue between the eight people at the head of the screen.

Finally, on the screen, an old man slowly said: "Pupkins… you should know that the Holy Grail was a trophy captured in the Great War a hundred years ago. But it's forbidden to be used... use the Holy Grail, need sacrifices, you, don't you see? ”

“Tomorrow we may see a country in disarray. ”

Mr. Pupkins sighed, "So… I, Pupkins Pandragon, descendant of the great Queen Arthur, will use an absolute command to ask the knighthood to obey one of my orders. ”

“Pupkins, are you serious?” Everyone on the screen was shocked, "Pupkins, the absolute command is an honor given to Queen Arthur's descendants by the knighthood… you can only use it twice in your life! ”

Mr. Pupkins did not speak, but slowly unscrewed the silver sculpture on his hand… after the silver sculpture was unscrewed, there was an organ inside.

In a small gap below the sculpture, a gem slipped down. Mr. Pupkins held this stone high… The heads of the knighthood agencies on the screen stood up at this point.

“Yes, I've decided.” Mr. Pupkins said slowly, "As proof of the kingdom… I will use an absolute command. ”

“Yes, your-majesty. ”

……

……

This is probably something like a cell… and it's still stone built, and it seems to be some time old.

Her Majesty does not know where she was last sent, and she was already there when she opened her black cloth bag.

At the same time, Lancelot was locked up in the same place.

“I'm sorry I didn't do my job well.” Lancelot lowered his head slightly, "leaving you in this vicious environment. ”

Instead of the panic Lancelot had imagined, Her Majesty measured the environment of the stone chamber - the only thing that could be illuminated was an oil lamp put down by the hijackers.

This is a stone room, probably the size of a bungalow.

“It's actually pretty good, at least not even a place to sit... but they took my pet away, which I can't agree with. ”

Her Majesty smiled and sat down —— the chair was made of wood, obviously uncomfortable.

Lancelot frowned and the queen's calm was somewhat unexpected, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid? ”

“Afraid, but afraid of the future, not the present cage," the queen laughed. ”

“You are a great man.” Lancelot said suddenly after silence.

Her Majesty shook her head slightly… and she could still stand it.

She was confined to a narrower place than this stone chamber, not only hungry, cold, without light, but almost insane for three days and three nights at a time - under the punishment of that venerable and terrible tutor.

Punishment for not being able to meet the teacher's requirements when young… this stone room is really nothing.

On the frozen grass, barefoot with a thick dictionary, the lady stands.

Forced to master French within a month, spent almost half of every day copying… while maintaining a gentle smile.

It's really nothing... this stone market.

“It's you, Lancelot. Are you scared?” The queen came back from her memories and looked at the young woman and asked softly.

Lancelot shook his head very directly, "Becoming a knight first has to overcome the fear of danger. ”

“Oh.” The Queen shook her head, "Son, listen to me, now you are just like me, a normal person imprisoned here with no power... I am not a queen here, and you cannot use any power here. It is not shameful to acknowledge one's fears. ”

Lancelot frowned: “I'm worried about what they're going to do next... you've been hijacked and if this thing comes to light, the outside world will panic..."

And the queen suddenly interrupted Lancelot's words, "Lancelot, when did you become a knight? ”

“I?”

She opened her mouth… Her Majesty does not seem to be worried about her situation at all.

The queen's hands were stacked on her legs… at this time, she still looked elegant, as if she were sitting on a noble throne instead of some inferior wooden stool.

“We, for the time being, cannot change the situation.” Her Majesty smiles softly: “Generally speaking, what we need to do at this time is change our bad mood… Chatting is obviously a good way to go. My lady knight. ”

“I… look at the environment here. ”

She obviously couldn't agree, and after a quick response, she began to look at the stone room wall… knocking her fingers over it inches by inches.

Her Majesty looked and shook her head gently, then slowly closed her eyes.

……

“Did they say yes? ”

In the room, a dry, skinny man with eyes... Tipp stood up hastily - because at this point, Judas had just returned from the outside.

And the job of Judas this time out is to give the chief's announcement to the knighthood.

Judas looked at Tippe in a bad mood and turned his eyes: “I'm going to pinch you to death right now. Would you like to think about it? ”

Shaking his head, ignoring Tipp, Jodas quickly walked to the chief Caesar, “Receiving news from Dobas, the heads of the seven main knighthood agencies from all over the country came to the fog almost at the same time… The current round table knight, estimated to have the most complete assembly in an hour. ”

“Isn't that unexpected? ”

It was Catherine who was dealing with the wound for Caesar… the wound didn't know what was going on, and although the blood stopped, it couldn't heal.

This is an incredible thing… both Catherine and Judas know very well how powerful Caesar's body is.

“That's it, Catherine.” Caesar pulled his palm back from Catherine's hand at this point, “as long as it didn't bleed, this wound wouldn't stand in the way. ”

He stood up and started wearing his jacket, and he said, "Dobbs, haven't you heard from the witch yet? ”

“That bitch!” Catherine snorted coldly, "She hasn't shown up since the accident... she wasn't on our way. ”

Caesar shook his head and said casually: "If it wasn't all the way, most of the 'myths of the end’ and we weren't all the way... they were just free members. If you can't find it, forget it... all we need to do is wait for the sunrise tomorrow. ”

“They won't find this place, don't worry.” Judas nodded, "As long as they can't find it here before dawn...”
