Chapter 1255 Three Siblings
When the battle outside the border becomes more fierce day by day, and the attacks of chaos endlessly wash away the barriers of order, the interior of the kingdom is still peaceful and peaceful. The White City is like a gorgeous treasure inlaid on the great plain. 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, greeting each other and getting ready to go into the day's work - so the city It was like a machine that was slowly starting up, gradually turning 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. The banquet last night did not seem to hinder the ruling machine of this ancient kingdom at all. Instead, it injected more powerful power into it. Now that the king has obtained the latest information from outside the border of chaos, scholars must try to figure out the reason for the mutation of the furnace device. , the occult masters 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 were also busy - after Princess Veronica personally made a petition, the court heard about Ma General Gus's questioning voice about the unfavorable defense of the border suddenly disappeared, as if those powerful ministers just now remembered that instead of holding an old general accountable, it was more important to help the old general guard their own home.
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. When the cook heard the news, he told the groom. The groom used the news as bragging rights in the tavern, so the whole city seemed to suddenly become witnesses of the "Guardian's appearance" - in With some tacit approval, these news spread at an alarming speed. Nobles and officials at all levels received detailed and accurate reports. Seven or eight versions of exaggerated statements were circulated in the market. Some even swore that the goddess of creation was the goddess of creation. It has been decided to come to the Kingdom of Talos in person, and 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 severely 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 high-ranking Pope give himself an explanation, the appearance of the "Ancient Guardian" might make those people in the Sanctuary who are indifferent to anything react.
At the very least, they would send a representative with similar status to check on the situation.
His Majesty the King of Talos obviously did not know about the situation of the Holy Land investigation team that came secretly - let alone that this investigation team had now landed in the southern border of the kingdom and was trudging through the dark jungle in the southern border.
The "Ancient Guardian" himself, who was almost at 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? Is it because you are not used to the living environment of the Golden Rose Palace? Or is it because 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 so many people standing outside the house when I'm sleeping - like saying goodbye to the body."
Veronica laughed: "It's very much your style."
"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 was quite busy. "
Veronica glanced helplessly at the client 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." Representatives are here to find you.”
Hao Ren patted his forehead. He had actually thought of this happening for a long time, but he still felt a headache when he actually mentioned it. In order not to continue thinking about these troublesome things, he decided to change the subject: "By the way, you came to see me this early in the morning - what's the matter?"
"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: "Well, it's nothing, I'm just curious about what your younger brothers and sisters look like. I've heard you mention them a few times, but I haven't seen them yet."
"You will like them," Veronica smiled without any doubt, turning sideways to signal 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 prince, who had not recovered yet, rested here. The carriage stopped in front of a small garden of an independent building. A gravel road passed through shrubs and flower beds, winding to a large white spire house not far away. Veronica got out of the carriage first: "Lord Guardian, you Wait here for a moment while I 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 regard are completed by the attendants, but Veronica obviously prefers to confirm the actions in person. Hao Ren understood this. After Her Royal Highness the Princess disappeared into the gate at the end along the gravel road, he got off the carriage and strolled around the flower beds: unlike the Golden Rose Palace, which was brilliant and magnificent everywhere, this "off-the-beaten-path" one located on the side of the palace The "Palace" appears more approachable. It lacks some gorgeous decorations, but has a lot more warm and amiable atmosphere. The various plants in the garden in front of the door are dazzling, which is much cuter than the huge stone statues and reliefs in front of the main hall.
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 rang out: "Huh?"
When Hao Ren heard this, he looked up and saw a girl wearing a white princess dress, with long lavender hair, and holding a brass kettle in both hands standing in the flower garden next to him. He was stunned for a moment: " Veronica? 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 landing on 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 Ansa, just call me Anya."
Anza is the surname of the Talos royal family. As Hao Ren thought, the person in front of him was Veronica's twin sister. 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 in her body. The biggest impression that the knight princess gave Hao Ren was that she was wielding a knight's broadsword weighing more than thirty kilograms while chopping melons and vegetables among the monsters. 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 small account built 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 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 moment, Hao Ren pointed at Aniya: "Your sister is watering the flowers outside - were you just stunned and didn't see her?"
