When the battle outside the border becomes more fierce day by day, and the attacks of chaos endlessly wash away the barriers of order, there is still peace and tranquility in the kingdom. The White City is like a splendid treasure embedded in the great plains. When the sun "blacks out"
"Luo" shines on the earth, and the whole city shines. People are awakened by the morning light and come to the avenue inlaid with white stone slabs. They say hello to each other and prepare to go into the day's work. Then the city seems to be a
The machine that was slowly starting up slowly began to rotate with a lazy sound.√
The gate of the Golden Rose Palace opened to both sides with the creaking sound of the mechanism running. Knights and heralds in bright clothes and angry horses rushed out of the palace gate with orders from the king and other high-ranking people. They had
Some ran to the mansion of a certain Duke or Earl, some ran to the mysterious tower of the Royal Warlock Association, and some ran to the halls of scholars and magicians. The information they carried was enough to make many people...
The next long time was busy. Yesterday's night's banquet did not seem to hinder the ruling machine of this ancient kingdom at all, but instead injected more powerful power into it. Now the king has obtained the latest information outside the border of chaos. Scholars want to
Trying to figure out the reason for the mutation of the furnace device, the masters of occult arts began to rummage through the mountains of case files, trying to find signs of the next change in the tide of chaos. The generals and soldiers also got busy when Princess Veronica personally
After the petition, the voices of doubt in the court about General Magus's inability to defend the border suddenly disappeared. It seemed that those powerful ministers just now remembered that it was more important to help the old general than to hold him accountable.
Generals guard their own homes.
News about the "Ancient Guardian" also spread with the actions of these heralds. It first entered the homes of every great noble, and then the spread path was divided into two, and part of it was spread to the knights of the lower level.
In front of smaller nobles, part of it was spread more widely in the chats of ladies and ladies spending time after dinner. When the maid heard the news, she told the cook, and when the cook heard the news, he told the groom, who regarded the news as bragging in the tavern.
Capital, so the whole city seemed to suddenly become witnesses to the "Guardian's appearance". With some kind of tacit approval, these news spread at an alarming rate, and nobles and officials at all levels received detailed and accurate reports.
, there are seven or eight versions of exaggerated statements circulating in the market, and some people even swear that the goddess of creation has decided to come to the Talos Kingdom in person, and that the ancient guardian is just a precursor.
Obviously, this news will soon spread to the powerful church state in the Holy Land and be placed on the Pope's desk.
In the border battle not long ago, the Order State's troops withdrew from the battlefield early, resulting in the kingdom's Western Territory Army being defeated. Although the current corrupt situation in the Western Territory cannot be entirely attributed to the Order State, it is obvious that His Majesty the King of Talos very much hopes to
Hearing the lofty pope give himself an explanation, the appearance of the "ancient guardian" might make those people in the sanctuary who are indifferent to anything have some reaction.
At the very least, they will send a representative with similar status to check on the situation.
His Majesty the King of Talos obviously does not know about the situation of the Sanctuary Investigation Team that came secretly, let alone that this investigation team has now landed in the southern border of the Kingdom and is trudging through the dark jungle of the southern border.
And the "Ancient Guardian" himself, who is almost the core of this series of events, had just broken free from the seal of the soft bed half an hour ago. At this time, he was standing on a terrace of the Golden Rose Palace with a sleepy look on his face.
.
Veronica, who had changed back into her military uniform, stood in front of Hao Ren with a heroic appearance: "Lord Guardian, it seems that you did not have a good rest yesterday? Could it be that you are not adapting to the living environment of the Golden Rose Palace? Or is it that the attendants are not taking good care of you?
week?"
"No, the attendants are quite responsible," Hao Ren waved his hand, "It's just that I'm not used to having people standing outside the house to say goodbye to the body when I'm sleeping."
Veronica laughed: "It's very much your style."
"By the way, I saw several groups of people running out of the gate below today." Hao Ren glanced at the Rose Avenue under the terrace. Several more knights were escorting a herald running across the stone road. "It's quite busy.
"
Veronica glanced helplessly at this person who seemed to be unconscious: "Half of them are going to report the situation about the 'Ancient Guardian'. There will probably be scholars and the Tower of Mysteries soon."
The representative is here to find you."
Hao Ren patted his forehead. He had actually thought of this happening for a long time, but it still gave him a headache when he actually mentioned it. In order not to continue thinking about these troublesome things, he decided to change the topic: "By the way, you are so early in the morning.
Why did you come to see me?"
"My younger brothers and sisters hope to meet the legendary 'Ancient Guardian'," Veronica laughed. "They were seriously ill before and missed the welcoming ceremony. They didn't even show up at yesterday's banquet. Today.
Aniya's spirits have improved a lot, and she was clamoring to come see you early in the morning, but I'm worried about her health..."
"Oh, of course that's no problem," Hao Ren reacted immediately, "I'll go see her. I happen to be quite curious too."
Veronica was stunned: "Curious? What are you curious about?"
Hao Ren coughed twice and said, "Well, it's nothing. I'm just curious about what your younger siblings look like. I've heard you mention them several times, but I haven't seen them yet."
"You will like them," Veronica smiled without any doubt, turning sideways and motioning for Hao Ren to get on the carriage, "Ania is a smart and lovely girl, and Andrew is also very well-behaved."
Within a moment, Hao Ren was carried by Veronica's carriage to the east side of the Golden Rose Palace, where the princess and the prince, who had not recovered yet, were resting. The carriage stopped in front of a small garden of an independent building, and a gravel road passed through it.
Passing through shrubs and flower beds, leading to a winding white spire house not far away, Veronica stepped out of the carriage first: "Lord Guardian, please wait here for a moment, I'll go see if they are ready."
Royal members have many rules, and receiving guests often requires extremely tedious preparations. Once the preparations are complete, they need to be confirmed internally and externally. Usually, the notifications in this area are completed by the attendants, but Veronica obviously prefers to confirm the actions in person.
Hao Ren understood this. After Her Royal Highness disappeared along the gravel road and into the gate at the end, he got off the carriage and strolled around the flower bed: with the magnificent Golden Rose Palace everywhere.
Differently, this "side hall" located on the side of the palace is more approachable. It lacks some gorgeous decorations, but has a lot more warm and approachable atmosphere. There are all kinds of plants in the garden in front of the door. Compared with the one in front of the main hall,
Those huge stone statues and reliefs are much cuter.
While Hao Ren was strolling, the sound of skirt sweeping across the grass suddenly came from the side, and then a young girl's slightly surprised voice sounded: "Huh?"
When Hao Ren heard this, he looked up and saw a girl wearing a white princess dress with lavender hair and holding a brass kettle in both hands standing in the flower garden next to him. He was stunned for a moment: "Wei
Ronika? Why did you change your clothes at the same time? It’s not like you’re not used to wearing them..."
The girl in the flower bed was a little confused and took a half step back in fear: "Huh?"
"Wait a minute, you are not Veronica," Hao Ren suddenly realized at this time, "When she stepped back, she was like a tiger falling to the ground. Are you Veronica's sister?"
Ania looked Hao Ren up and down before smiling. Her face was a little pale and her voice was soft and thin: "You must be the 'ancient guardian' that my sister mentioned.
My name is Anya. Belluni Anza. You can just call me Anya."
Anza is the surname of the Talos royal family. The person in front of him is indeed Veronica's twin sister as Hao Ren thought. After figuring this out, Hao Ren finally noticed more about the relationship between the princess in front of him and Veronica.
Difference: She looks thinner, probably because she is recovering from a serious illness, her face is also very pale, her eyes seem to be bigger, and she exudes a gentle and quiet temperament all over her body. Even if her health is not good, she is still dignified and elegant.
And Veronica has never shown a similar aura. The biggest impression that the knight princess gave Hao Ren was that she was wielding a knight's broadsword weighing more than thirty kilograms, chopping melons and vegetables among the monsters and kicking her.
Kick all kinds of enemies into the ground...
After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, Hao Ren had an idea: How could they develop into such two extremes if they were born to the same parents? These two sisters were just like a trumpet created by a max-level veteran to experience life.
, one has almost reached full intelligence, and the other has more than 200 points of strength...
And just when he and Aniya were looking at each other a little awkwardly, the door not far away was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and Veronica rushed out with a dancing little boy under her arm: "
Something's wrong, Lord Guardian! My sister is missing!"
Hao Ren and Ania stared at the Knight Princess in stunned silence.
After a while, Hao Ren pointed at Aniya: "Your sister was watering the flowers outside, didn't you notice just now?" (To be continued.) 8
