From then on, Caspian and his teacher secretly talked about similar topics many times from the top of the tower, and each conversation gave Caspian a deeper understanding of ancient Narnia, so much so that his mind was filled with a beautiful vision of that wonderful world, and he longed strongly for those good times to be recreated in Narnia.However, he did not have the time and space to think about these things now, because by this time he had already begun to receive a formal education.He learned swordsmanship, horseback riding, swimming, and diving, as well as how to use the bow and arrow, how to hunt, as well as spatial structure, rhetoric, poetic prosody, and, of course, history, law, physics, smelting, and astronomy; In astrology, he only learned some basic theoretical knowledge, and the doctor's statement about this was that the specific operation was not suitable for the prince to learn."
As for myself," he emphasized, "I am only a second-rate astrologer, and I can only do the simplest experiments." ”Caspian did not learn about navigation."
It's a very masterful and heroic science."
That's what the doctor said.This was because King Miruz forbade the mention of ships and the sea.Caspian learned a lot of other things through his clever and careful observation.When he was a young child, he disliked his aunt, Queen Pruna Prismere, until now he did not know that the reason was that she did not like him.At the same time, he begins to discover that Narnia is an unfortunate country, full of misery, with all kinds of harsh taxes and ruthless laws, and that Miroz is a tyrant with extremely cruel methods.With the passage of time, in the blink of an eye, years have passed.For a time the queen seemed to be seriously ill, and the whole palace was toiling and anxious for her, and the physicians were coming and going, and the whole kingdom was talking.Now, summer had arrived, and in the middle of the night, Caspian had just slept for a few hours when he was unexpectedly woken up by Dr.
Kniels."
Doctor, are we going to talk about astronomy tonight?"
asked Caspian."
ShhThe doctor lowered his voice and said to him, "You have to trust me and do what I tell you."
Hurry up and get dressed, you'll be ready for a long journey. ”Caspian was surprised, but because of his complete trust in the Doctor, he immediately did as he was told.After Caspian got dressed, the doctor handed him a bag of things."
This is a travel bag I have for you, and we will go to the next room at once, and go to the table to get some food to fill this bag.""
My servants are there, and they have always been with me."
Caspian said."
Don't worry, they're all asleep."
The Doctor said, "Don't look at me as a third-rate magician, but it's not hard to make people fall asleep. ”The two of them went next door together, and unsurprisingly, both servants fell asleep on their backs in their chairs, snoring loudly.Dr.
Knearles quickly picked up the rest of the cold chicken, plus a few pieces of venison, bread, apples, and a few other foods, along with a small bottle of fine wine, and stuffed it all into the duffel bag, which the prince carried on his back."
Do you have your sword with you?"
the doctor asked."
I'll take it."
Caspian replied."
Then quickly drape this cloak over your body, so that you can cover both your travel bag and your sword.Well, that's fine.Now let's go to the top of the tower first, and I have a few words to explain to you. ”It was already late at night, and it was pitch black and cold at the top of the tower, as if it was enveloped by an ominous and terrible aura, and it was completely different from the night they had watched the meeting of Watta and Arambiel at the top of the tower.Dr.
Knairs said to him, "Your Dear Prince, now you must leave this castle at once and go out into the vastness of the outer world to pursue your happiness, and continue to live here, and you will be in danger of death at any time." ”"Why do you say that?"
Caspian was shocked."
Because you are the true king of the Kingdom of Narnia, Caspian X, you are the biological son and heir to the throne of Caspian IX."
At this point, the dwarf suddenly got down on one knee, and "Long live His Majesty" immediately afterward, he kissed Caspian on the hand, a move that surprised Caspian greatly."
Doctor, you've confused me.What the hell is going on?"
asked Caspen."
It's like you've never thought about it."
The Doctor said to him, "As the biological son and legal heir of the king of Narnia, why did you not become the king of Narnia Everyone in the kingdom knows that Miroz is a traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne.He did not use the name of the king when he first ruled Narnia, and he claimed to be the king's guardian.Later, your mother, a very virtuous and virtuous queen, and the only Terma who has been very kind to me to this day, died.Immediately after that, all the people who had been loyal to your father, as well as the righteous ministers, died one by one, and some suddenly disappeared.And those people died in a weird way, and none of them died normally.There is no doubt that he was assassinated by the vicious Miruoz.For example, Borisa and Euvelas were killed by a bow and arrow during a hunt, reportedly by mistake.Miruz also sent all of the noble families of Bosaried to fight the giants on the battlefields of the north, until they were all killed in battle; Elken, Edmund, and a dozen others were all executed on a trumped-up treason charge.The two brothers at the Beaver Dam were also called crazy and imprisoned.Eventually, he selected seven nobles of the Terma who had never been afraid of the sea, and persuaded them to set sail for new land across the East China Sea, only to be seen as he had hoped.Eventually, all those who could stand on your side were eliminated one by one, and under his control, the flattering villains jumped out and asked him to be king, and of course, he gladly accepted the request and became the king of Narnia from then on. ”"You mean, he's going to get rid of me now," Caspian shuddered at the thought of this."
There's no doubt about it."
Dr.
Knells replied."
But, why is he going to do this now, if he really wanted to get rid of me, he should have done it a long time ago, did I do something that threatened his position" "Two hours ago, something happened that completely changed your fate, and the queen gave birth to a son. ”The doctor replied."
But I don't know what it has to do with me."
Caspian was puzzled by this."
Why don't you understand," the doctor couldn't help but exclaim, "Have you learned all the history and politics lessons I taught you in vain, haven't you become any smarter, listen, when he didn't have his own son, he had to choose you to inherit the throne."
He doesn't like you, but he'd rather pass the throne to you than to anyone else.But now, he has a son of his own, and naturally wants his own son to inherit the throne, and that's when you're a stumbling block, right, so he's going to have to get rid of you to be at ease. ”"Is he such a vicious man?"
Caspian could not believe it, "is he really going to put me to death?"
"He has murdered your father." ”Dr.
Knells replied.Caspian was so sad that he was silent for a long time, unable to utter a word."
I can tell you the whole truth," the doctor said to him, "but not now, it's getting too late, and you need to get out of here." ”"Will you come with me?"
asked Casper."
No, two people are much more obvious than one, and that would put you in a more dangerous position.My dear Prince, dear King Caspian, be brave and you must leave alone, and leave now.Find a way to cross the southern border and find Nain, the king of the kingdom of Achinland, who will receive you lovingly. ”"Then I will never see you again," Caspian said in a trembling voice."
My dear king, I also hope that we will have a chance to meet again."
The Doctor also looked like he was about to cry, "In this vast land, I have no friends other than You, Your Majesty, and I will use some small spells, but for now, speed is the most important thing.Before you leave, please accept these two gifts from me.It's a small bag of gold, and oh, all the treasures in this castle should be your property.In addition, there is a gift for you that is a thousand times more precious than gold. ”As he spoke, he placed something solemnly in Caspian's hand.Caspian couldn't see what it was, but by touch he knew it was a horn."
This is one of the most precious and sacred objects in the Kingdom of Narnia.I was very young at the time, and in order to find it, I went through all kinds of horrors and recited countless incantations.This god name belonged to Queen Susan, and was left here before she disappeared into Narnia.According to legend, whoever blew it, the trumpet would bring him the help of the gods, but no one knows exactly what kind of help, perhaps it could summon back the Supreme King Peter, the gentle queen Susan, the just king Edmund, and the valiant queen Lucy.Take it with you, King Caspian, but you must remember not to blow it until the most critical moment.Let's go, hurry up and the little door on the ground floor of the tower leading to the garden is unlocked, get you there, and we'll have to separate. ”"Can I ride my horse Dietrell" Caspian was at a loss, not knowing what to do next."

It's ready, it's waiting for you on the edge of the orchard."
The doctor said that he was indeed very thoughtful.Dr.
Knairs had been giving him guidance and advice in a low voice as he walked down the long staircase, and Caspian was in a state of panic, but he did his best to take them to heart.In a few moments they were breathing in the fresh air of the garden, when the sound of Estrel's horses' hooves and affectionate neighing could be heard on the path, and the master and apprentice had to say goodbye at last.Immediately afterwards, Caspian X left his father's castle, and when he turned to look back on the way, he saw countless splendid ceremonial flowers blooming over the castle, which was celebrating the birth of a new prince.Caspen galloped through the familiar land, fleeing south all night.At first, he only dared to take those hidden paths and horse paths, until later, when he was sure that there was no ambush ahead, he rode his horse and whipped up the road.Desteller was also passionate about this extraordinary journey, and Caspian, although he had tears in his eyes when he said goodbye to Dr.
Cnells, was now full of courage and even a sense of joy that he was truly free.In the days to come, he will be like the legendary knights and knights, riding the wind and waves in the journey of adventure and moving forward bravely.As soon as it was dawn and a drizzle began, Caspenn took the reins and looked around, surrounded by unfamiliar forests, full of wild chrysanthemums and green hills.When he felt that the world was so vast and vast, he also realized his own insignificance and insignificance, and he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.After daybreak, Caspian avoided the main road and entered the forest, where he stopped in a meadow where he prepared to rest.So he took off the saddle from Dietrell and let it graze on the side, while he sat down on the floor, took out the cold chicken, ate some of it, drank a few sips of wine, and then lay down comfortably on the grass.He was so tired that it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.When he awoke, twilight was approaching, and he hurried to eat something, and continued on his way south.He passed through the barren fields, and soon came to a mountainous area, where the road was very rough and difficult, sometimes uphill and sometimes downhill, and he felt as if there were many more ways up the mountain than down the mountain.As he ascended a ridge, he noticed that the peaks in front of him were getting closer and closer, and the color of the peaks was slowly darkening, and by the time night was approaching, he had ridden to the slopes of the high mountain.Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, followed by a downpour of thunder and thunder, and Dustrell began to be a little restless in the lightning and thunder.Soon after, they entered a dark pine forest that seemed to be endless, which reminded Caspian of the stories he had heard before, in which the forest and humans had always been hostile.Years ago, his ancestors destroyed forests, cut down trees, and even waged war against the creatures in the forests.Even if he was completely different from the Tyrmars of the same race, it was impossible for the trees to tell who was good and who was bad.The wind grew stronger, and the trees of the entire forest howled in the wind, constantly shaking and crunching around them.Suddenly, Caspian heard a crash and a large tree fell on the road behind them, and they were nearly hit."
Be quiet, Dietrear, be quiet," Caspian patted his horse on the neck, but he shuddered himself, knowing that he had picked up a life on his way back to death.Immediately afterward, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and then a loud thunder sounded overhead, as if it was about to split the sky in half.Startled, Dustrell burst into action.Caspian was a good rider, but he couldn't hold the reins of his horse at this point.Caspian clung to his horse, but he knew that running wild in such a situation would be a life-threatening matter for him at any moment.In the darkness, trees greeted him and brushed past him.Immediately after, as if suddenly struck something, of course, he was also injured, and Caspian received a blow to the forehead, and then he lost consciousness.When he awoke, he found himself lying by a warm fire, covered in scars and with a terrible headache.Beside him, someone was whispering something about something."
Now, then," said one of them, "we must decide what to do with him before he wakes up." ”"Kill him," said another, "we can't keep his life, he'll betray us." ”"We should have killed him at once, or left him to fend for himself there," the third voice said, "but to say that we were going to kill him now, after we had brought him back and bandaged his wounds on his head and body, would be tantamount to murdering our guest." ”"Honorable gentlemen," said Caspian weakly, "you can do with me as you please, but I beg you to spare my poor horse. ”"Before we found you, your horse ran away."
The first voice said.It was then that Caspian noticed that the voice was a little peculiar, very hoarse, and very deep."
Now, don't let the pretty things that come out of his mouth sway your mind," the second voice shouted, "I'm going to say it anyway," "It's a shame to do that, Nick Blake. ”A third voice interrupted him in a loud voice, "We must not kill him."
What do you say, what should we do with Trufkhant?"
"Let's get him something to drink first." ”The first voice said, maybe he was the Trufkhant.A black shadow walked over to the bed.Immediately after, Caspian felt an arm slip under his shoulder, if it was indeed an arm.There seemed to be something wrong with the shadow, and the face looking down on him seemed a little unusual.He appears to have a hairy face and a large long nose with strange white patches on either cheek."
He must have been wearing a mask," Caspian thought to himself, "or I would have had a fever that was hallucinating unrealistically." ”A cup of sweet, hot was brought to his lips, and he drank it with one mouthful.At this time, one of them was fiddling with the fire, and the fire was burning even brighter.By the sudden brightness of the fire, Kesbin could see the face facing him, and he almost exclaimed, this was not a human face at all, but a badger, larger than all the badgers Kesbin had ever seen before, and looked kinder and smarter.And, to be sure, he had just been talking, and he found himself lying in the cave on a bed made of heather.Sitting next to the fire were two men with long beards, who looked wilder, shorter, and thicker-haired than Dr.
Kniels.He could immediately conclude that they were true purebred dwarfs, not half-dwarfs mixed with human blood.Caspian understood that he had finally witnessed the existence of ancient Narnia, a discovery that once again made him feel dizzy.Within a few days, Caspian had already known their names, and the badger, Trufhant, was the oldest of the three, and the kindest.The dwarf who wanted to kill Caspian was a grumpy black dwarf, his hair and beard were black, thick and hard like a horse's mane, and his name was Nick Blake.The other is a red dwarf with fox-like fiery red hair, and his name is Durupkin."
Now, then," said Nick Blake, the first night that Caspian was able to sit up and speak, "we still have to decide what to do with the man in front of you, you two think you have done a very merciful thing to stop me from killing him, but I suspect that the end result is that we will have to imprison this man for life, and I will certainly not let him go back alive, for once he is with his group, he will betray all of us." ”"Don't say that, Nick Brick."
Durupkin said disapprovingly, "Is it necessary for you to say such rude things He hit his head on the tree outside our cave, and it is not his fault, and I don't think he looks like a spy." ”"Allow me to say that," interjected Caspian, "before you decide whether or not to let me go, find out if I intend to go back."
In fact, I'm not ready to leave.I would like to live with you, if you will allow me, and I have spent my life looking for you and your companions. ”"It's like telling a story."
Nick Blake snarled under his breath, "You're a human, and you're still a Tama man, isn't it natural that you'd want to go back to your own side" "It's just that even if you want to go back, I can't go back." ”Caspian said sadly, "I'm here because I'm running for my life."
My king wants to kill me, and if you kill me, you will do a good thing for him. ”"It's all right now," Trufkhant whispered, "you don't have to say anything like that again. ”"Oh," said Durupkin in great surprise, "what's the matter, human, what have you done, that at your age you are regarded as a sworn enemy by Miroz" "He's my uncle." ”As soon as Caspian's words came out, one of Nick Brink's hands was already gripping his sword and jumped straight up."
It's you," he cried, "not just a Tyrma, but the nephew and heir of our enemy number one.Do you still want to be obsessed with and insist on keeping this man alive?"
If it weren't for the badger and Durupkin blocking the way, and then pushing him back into his seat and sitting down, he might have raised his sword and slashed at Casbin on the spot."
Attention, Nick Brink, I warn you one last time," Durupkin said angrily, "if you don't restrain your emotions well, Trufkhant and I will teach you a lesson." ”After Nick Breck was very unhappy and promised that he would follow the rules, the other two began to ask Caspian to tell them everything that had happened.When Caspian finished, they fell silent."
It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard."
Durupkin spoke."
I don't like that kind of thing," said Nick Blake, "and I didn't expect there to be legends about us among humans."
You know, the less they know about our business, the better.As for the old nanny, she'd better keep her tongue in check, and that Dr.
Something mixed it all up, hateful bastard dwarfs, I hate them, I hate them even more than humans.You remember what I say, they will never do us any good. ”"Nick Brink, don't always make random comments about things you don't understand."
Trufkhant impatiently stopped him from continuing, "You dwarfs are as forgetful and fickle as those humans, I am an animal, I am a badger, we will never change what we insist on, I think things will end well."
Now there is a real king of Narnia standing before us, a real king, and he is back to the real Narnia.You dwarfs may not remember anymore, but we animals always remember that Narnia will only be truly settled if Adam's son becomes king of Narnia. ”"Hey, I'm talking about Trufhat," Durupkin cried out, "you're not going to give this country into human hands," "I have nothing to do with that," replied the badger, "it's not a human country.Does anyone know this better than I do, but this country needs a human king, and we badgers have a long enough memory to understand this clearly.Why do you say that, God bless us, isn't the Supreme King Peter also a human being?"
"Do you believe in those ancient legends?"
asked Durupkin."
I tell you, we firmly believe that we are animals," Truforhant's eyes showed firmness, "and we will never forget that I believe that the Supreme King Peter and the other kings once ruled and ruled well in Kyle Palavier, just as I firmly believe in Aslan, steadfastly." ”"Steadfast like that.I dare ask," sneered Durupkin, "who still believes in the existence of Aslan these days?"
"I believe," said Caspen sternly, "if I was not entirely convinced of its existence before, now I believe that the humans who laughed at Aslan were also laughing at the story about the existence of talking animals and dwarfs."
Sometimes, I wondered if there was Aslan in this world, and likewise, sometimes I wondered if there were creatures like you in the world, but now you're here" "That's right," Truforkhant said approvingly, "You're right, King Caspian is my king as long as you're loyal to the ancient kingdom of Narnia, no matter what they say."
Long live Your Majesty" "Badger, what you say disgusts me. ”Nick Blake roared, "Maybe the Supreme King and the other kings are human, but they are a completely different race, but this one in front of you is the evil Tama man, who used to shoot animals as a pastime and entertainment.Don't you dare to say it?"
he snapped, turning to look at Caspian abruptly."
Yes, to tell you the truth, I've done this too," replied Casbyan, "but those are non-talking animals." ”"That's all the same thing," Nick Blake sneered."
No, no, no," Trufkhant shook his head, "you know it's not the same thing.You know very well that the animals that live in Narnia today are completely different from us, they are poor, non-talking, mindless creatures that can be found everywhere in Calmen and Tyrma, and they are much smaller, much more different from me than the half-dwarves and you. ”They argued for a long time, but eventually agreed that Caspin should be allowed to stay, and even promised that they would take him to meet the people of their own who Truupkin called "the other" as soon as he was healthy and free to move around.It is evident that the inhabitants of ancient Narnia still live in seclusion in this deep mountain wilderness.t1706231537:
