The 245-meter-long Indosith Bridge was illuminated by incandescent lights as bright as day. Fortress-like steel chariots and silver knight-like constructs connected this bridge connecting the east and west districts of Renwetting.
The front and rear of the bridge were blocked; airships of winged mobile troops were cruising in the sky, making the sound of propellers from their mouths like huge whales, accompanied by the silent gazes of the death birds; and passing by on the surface of the Tewil River
One steamboat after another, the roaring sound of the steam engine once disturbed the sleeping fish, shrimp and algae at the bottom of the river; further away, from the direction of the estuary to the deep-water dock in Besrod District, everything was shrouded in translucent gloom.
The blue crystal wall blocks out all sight and detection from the outside.
Against such a huge formation, the carriage blocked in the center of the bridge seemed lonely, like a small boat in the storm, which could capsize at any time. Although the two white horses created using alchemy are not living creatures
, but could also understand the subtle atmosphere at this time, and stepped on the bridge deck with his hoof rather uneasily, causing gray-white dust to fly under the light.
Neville stood in front of the carriage, showing no fear in the face of the overwhelming enemies, her eyes calmly staring at a steel city wall in front of her. The night watchmen behind the city wall did not dare to relax in the face of the silver-eyed countess, and they all
She heightened her vigilance and pointed the barrel of the magic weapon in her hand at the carriage, waiting for an order to fire from the commander. Neville even saw the figures of the silver rabid dogs, the dark-haired young man with a gloomy temperament.
Her whole body was stained red with blood, but she still clenched the hilt of the magic sword tightly, looking eager to try, which made the countess couldn't help but take a second look.
These guys are not very strong, but they are capable of chasing from Xiaoliang Palace to here and clinging to the carriage all the time. If they had not been blocked by them, maybe the carriage would have been able to unite with the sect.
He escaped from the Westminster area before the encirclement was closed. It should be said that he was worthy of being a rabid dog of the balance of order. He indeed inherited all the nature of the fear witch: tenacity, resilience, and a little crazy.
But there is no point in talking about it now. The countess doesn't like to imagine what-ifs when the facts are in front of her, so her eyes only stayed on these silver rabid dogs for a moment and then passed over to a more distant place.
The end of the Indosis Bridge.
There were many sounds surrounding her ears at this moment: the sound of the magic armored vehicle's engine still roaring to dissipate heat after it was turned off; the airship's propellers making noise like a windmill as the airship moved slowly; and the boiling steam engine coming from the water.
The sound of burning... Only the mechanized troops using the most advanced magic engines can remain silent, as silent as ghosts in the night.
However, what the Countess was more concerned about was another sound coming from the end of the bridge. Compared with the other sounds that were ringing at the moment, it seemed more soothing and calm, just like the G minor hidden in the passionate Baltz.
It can even make people hear a sense of elegance——
Da, da, da da da.
That was the sound of horse hooves treading on the road. A carriage was slowly approaching from the end of the bridge. In the place passing by, steel chariots and night watchmen gave way to the road one after another, and the white glare released by the headlights also seemed like
It surged to both sides like a tide, and the carriage slowly appeared in the dark night. The two black horses pulling the carriage were tall, with deep black-gold manes, and the iron-wrapped horseshoes stepped lightly.
On the solid stone bridge deck, shallow holes were left like bullets fired from magic guns.
The carriage is also dark, with only some golden lines on the edges and no badges or marks symbolizing status. The driver is a middle-aged man wearing a palace knight uniform, and the sword at his waist has a gorgeous and exquisite cage shape.
The gauntlet was more like a ceremonial tool than a weapon, but Neville knew from the look of his sitting posture and the way he drove that this man was definitely a real knight, and he might even have more experience in driving horses and carriages than she did.
Be rich.
"That is Her Majesty the Queen's car." A voice suddenly came from behind her. Neville tilted her head slightly and realized that it was Ringer and others who came out of the carriage after hearing what she just said. Alice was still holding a cup in her hand.
The game console that was shaped like a silver-white cube was emitting a faint blue light. The speaker was Miss Gloria, who was wearing a dress and had an elegant temperament. She noticed the gaze cast by Neville, and she pursed her lips and smiled,
Even the head of the Valenhild family had to admit that she did have an aristocratic temperament about her, which was completely incompatible with the so-called detective.
After Gloria greeted the Countess, she continued: "The person driving the car is Sir Devine, the Queen's Knight Guard. He does not hold any position in the palace and only obeys the orders of Her Majesty the Queen. However,
A long time ago, he had another name, and people at that time called him: Kasastan, the Son of the Wind."
"Casastan, the Son of the Wind?" Linge suddenly remembered: "You mean the legend who led the cavalry of the Kingdom of Great Brita in the Battle of Dragon's Tooth during the era of King Grissom and defeated the northern barbarians in one fell swoop.
General? But that battle was hundreds of years ago, right?"
After the Battle of Longya, the mainland accelerated into the steam age driven by an invisible force. With the advent of steam engines, muskets, trains and even steel chariots, the cavalry gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Since then, only a few
It was able to play its role under certain circumstances and lost its former glory. Therefore, Kazakhstan, the Son of the Wind, was also called "the last afterglow of classical war" by historians and military scientists. He himself seemed unable to accept this result, so he chose to hide.
He retreated without a trace.
"This is what history has recorded." Gloria glanced at Ringer with a half-smile: "But the truth is often more complicated. Under the strife of various religious organizations and supernatural forces, the Victoria royal family wanted to maintain itself in the world.
In addition to relying on the alliance of religious orders, the rule of the Kingdom of Brita must have its own extraordinary power, right? It is a pity that there are no useful people among the royal children. Fortunately, there are loyal people like Sir Devine in the world.
The ministers exist.”
So, is the legendary general also a legendary magician? The reason for his original retirement may have nothing to do with the transition between the old and the new era, right? And who can let such a heroic figure drive to escort him, who is the person in the carriage?
There is no need to guess anymore.
"So, the person who wants to meet us is Her Majesty the Queen?" Alice didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation, her eyes sparkling: "The Queen of the Kingdom of Great Brita, a commoner like me can actually meet with Her Majesty the Queen
, should I dress up first and then learn some greeting etiquette? How do you think I should greet Her Majesty the Queen, good morning? Good evening? Have you eaten?"
Everyone was a little annoyed with her, mainly because they lost all tension after being messed with by her, so they didn't bother to pay attention. Only Gloria said with a smile: "Don't be so formal. I think, with Her Majesty's character,
You shouldn’t care about such details.”
"Really? Why do you sound like you are very familiar with the Queen?" Alice glanced at her suspiciously.
Gloria thought for a while: "I'm not very familiar with it, I just have a basic understanding. Ah, as a daughter, isn't it inappropriate to evaluate her mother like this?"
"Yeah?" Alice blinked: "What did you just say?"
"I don't know Her Majesty very well..."
"The last sentence!"
"As a daughter?"
"Whaaaahhh!!?"
Alice's screams echoed through the night, frightening the birds closest to the bridge to the point where they almost fell off. Sir Devine, who was driving forward, paused imperceptibly, and was already on high alert.
The Magic Knights thought this was a signal of resistance from the enemy and couldn't help but want to open fire. Fortunately, they had undergone strict training and restrained themselves well without the commander's order, thus avoiding the danger.
A tragedy happened.
There seemed to be a chuckle from inside the carriage, and Sir Devine continued to drive forward, crossing the encirclement and arriving at the front. Alice didn't care at all about the consequences of her voice. She stared at Gerard.
Loria looked at it and her tone was a little incoherent: "You, you said you are Her Majesty the Queen's daughter? So you are the next queen...ah! So the queen is your royal family...ah, bah! So you say that?
Come on, are you the princess of the royal family?"
"Yes." Gloria glanced at Ringer: "Didn't Mr. Ringer tell you?"
"..." Ringer stared straight ahead, pretending not to notice Alice's critical look. He himself only found out about this at the beginning of the party. The escape was exciting and dangerous, so how could he have the spare time to tell them this?
thing?
Seeing Alice so excited, Ovela couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and said quietly: "I am the princess of Bayman."
Then he looked at Rorona who was smiling and said nothing, and added: "Laurona is the princess of Nereides."
"That's it!" Alice suddenly realized, and she didn't know what she understood: "Linge, you are indeed the princess killer. Forget it, this is not important. What is important is that since you are a princess, the person who comes is still a queen.
Then Gloria, can you tell your mother and ask her to be generous and let us go?"
She pointed out seriously: "Speaking of which, you were the first to bring this matter up. We were just implicated by you."
Gloria showed an innocent expression: "I also want to do this, but I'm not sure whether Her Majesty the Queen is still willing to appear in front of me as a mother?"
What does it mean?
Do you want to sever the relationship between mother and daughter?
When Alice was wondering, the carriage had stopped. The guard knight Devine who was driving left the carriage, opened the carriage door for the queen and then stepped aside, acting like a real guard, but Ringer noticed
His eyes briefly rested on Gloria for a while. His eyes did not seem to have the respect that one should have when facing a member of the royal family, but instead contained a touch of hostility and vigilance.
If this kind of look was directed at Ringer and others, then he could understand it, but as the third daughter of the Victorian royal family, what makes Gloria worthy of such vigilance?
Before Ringer could figure out the problem, a graceful blond woman in gorgeous clothes had already stepped out of the carriage. She was holding a cane decorated with gold foil in her left hand. Every time the tail of the cane hit the ground, there was a sound.
It made a crisp sound, but it was more like a knock on everyone's heart, causing everyone to pay attention involuntarily, and easily became the focus and center of the entire battlefield. There were no unnecessary decorations on her body, just like herself
As unpretentious as a car, that is because she does not need to rely on these external objects to set off her solemn posture and noble temperament. As Her Majesty the Queen who rules this country, she is majestic enough in her own right, just standing there.
, giving people a feeling of inviolability.
The small and exquisite cane gently pressed against the concrete bridge deck, and the Queen's footsteps stopped. She looked at these uninvited guests surrounded by the royal family's iconic sea blue eyes. It is said that the Victoria royal family
The blood of the golden people flows in her body, the same nation that Sister Livia came from, but the characteristics she displays are much purer than that of the nun. Her proud but soft pupils are highlighted by the headlights and searchlights.
Under the halo dyeing, it does reflect a somewhat golden color.
The arrival of Her Majesty the Queen caused the whole place to fall into silence. The silence of the outsiders was naturally because they were currently in a passive situation and could only wait for the other party to speak first. But for some reason, the troops belonging to the United Order also seemed to be quite
He respected this queen, so he tacitly handed over the right to speak into her hands. Neither Commander Xin of the Winged Mobile Troops nor Commander Yelena of the 13th Motor Corps had any intention of standing up to steal the limelight.
After Loria discovered this strange phenomenon, she lowered her head and let out an intriguing chuckle.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Her Majesty the Queen's eyes have swept over Ringer, Saint Xalia and others one by one, without staying for too long. At this time, she heard Ge
Loria's laughter naturally turned her gaze to her. For Her Royal Highness, the third princess of the royal family, her youngest daughter, she did not seem to show a trace of the emotion that a mother should have, no matter if she was asked to return
When she came to her side, she still scolded her for being so willful.
Lin Ge looked at it thoughtfully, and vaguely understood why Gloria said such words just now.
But sometimes, the truth is stranger than he imagined.
It only took a few breaths to look at each other. Her Majesty quickly turned her eyes away from her little daughter and fell on Ringer again. I don't know because he was the only male surrounded by a group of beautiful girls.
Juuyan, or with some mysterious intuition, concluded that he was the mastermind of this incident and the backbone of this group of people.
Then, an elegant smile slowly appeared on her face, she nodded slightly to the young man, and said: "It seems that these are the uninvited guests mentioned by the professor. This should be a wonderful party: important
Archaeological discoveries, beautiful dance music, delicious food, and many outstanding people gathered together to talk about the past and future of mankind. I really don’t know what rude behavior the professor made to you to make you
I have disregarded the etiquette of the guests and made such offensive behavior. If so, please allow me to apologize to everyone on behalf of the professor."
Her tone was very gentle and unhurried. It didn't seem like she was questioning, but like she was caring about a friend she hadn't seen for a long time. It made people feel like they were taking a breath of fresh air. It was precisely because of this that Linger became even more vigilant.
Because he knows that this kind of person is the hardest to deal with. If you only regard Her Majesty the Queen in front of you as a gentle and amiable elder, then the dignitaries in the cabinet and the parliamentarians in the Palace of Parliament will laugh at you for being too naive.
The Prime Minister of the Republic and the autocratic monarch of the Empire, who have been fighting openly and covertly with her for decades but have never decided a winner, may not agree either.
"I don't know where you stand when you say this, but as for the reason why this happened tonight, I think it would be better for you to ask Professor Heinrich directly, or ask someone close to you.
So are those people." The young man paused. He probably felt that this kind of attitude was really impolite for the ruler of a country, so he added: "This is my personal opinion. If it offends you,
, please forgive me."
The Queen laughed "ha": "It's normal for young people to speak without scruples, and I won't be angry about it. As for you saying to ask Professor Heinrich directly, I don't think it's necessary, because I actually
You know your position better than you think, Mr. Ringer."
She suddenly called out Ringer's name, which made the young man's heart skip a beat and he realized that he seemed to have overlooked some important detail. The queen saw his reaction in her eyes, and the smile outlined at the corner of her mouth seemed to be a little more...
Very intriguing meaning: "If you stand from the perspective of the royal family, I will not appear here at all tonight. You should understand it now, Mr. Ringer. Also, I think dear Miss Gloria also understands it very well.
.”
She took a deep look at the gray-haired girl in the dress, then let go of her hand, letting the golden cane stand upright on the hard concrete bridge without falling down. She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, bent her knees slightly, and walked towards the front of her eyes.
The guests gave a perfect and elegant greeting ceremony, and at the same time, they softly uttered the belated self-introduction——
"The Philosopher of the Society, codenamed Victoria, is honored to meet you."
