Chapter 1258 An Unexpected Encounter

After chatting for a while, Hao Ren stood up and left on the pretext of attending an appointment.

"Master Guardian has an appointment with someone?" Veronica looked over curiously, "Have you already found an acquaintance?"

"No, it was one of your nobles who invited me," Hao Ren explained. "He said he came from a family in Chongshan Territory called Willy. He said that his family had connections with many ancient hermits and knew many ancient hermits. I'm going to try my luck with him. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your aristocratic system, and I didn't worry about these things even back then, so I don't remember his title clearly."

Veronica opened her eyes in surprise: "Is it Count Willy of the Kant family in Chongshan? Willy Tilian Kant, ah, that's a very famous person. I'm afraid the famous young nobleman of Talos is also He is the youngest earl in the history of the kingdom - although it is only a relatively fictitious title at the moment, once he inherits all his properties and accumulates some merits, he will definitely be a noble model who can leave his name in history."

"So powerful?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, "I didn't even notice it... I just saw that he is quite handsome."

"I didn't expect people from the Sanctuary to look at people's appearance," Aniya laughed, "That young Earl is indeed very famous. In fact, the two young men of the Kande family this time are not simple. Not only did they have a Count Willie, a talented female knight who won the title of gold at a young age, is even more prosperous in the political arena. His experience of leading troops to quell seven barbarian rebels in the northern wilderness has impressed many military nobles who are more senior than him. It’s impressive. To be able to achieve such an achievement before the age of thirty, I’m afraid it will be difficult for the kingdom to meet such a talented young man again in a hundred years.”

"Heroes emerge from troubled times," Hao Ren said as a common saying on earth. "The world is in a precarious situation, and geniuses can only emerge at such times. But compared to the two young people from the Kant family, the two princesses of Talos The reputation seems to be greater - at least in terms of military achievements, Count Willy only quelled the rebellion of a few hilltop tribes in the kingdom, but Veronica has been fighting on the border of Chaos for many years."

Veronica looked embarrassed after hearing this praise. She smiled reservedly: "Well, I am indeed better than him."

...Well, it seems that this straight-faced princess is no longer reserved at all...

After a few words of greeting, the two princesses got up and personally escorted Hao Ren outside. Just as they reached the end of the gravel road in the small garden, a black carriage decorated with rose branches and dagger emblems suddenly turned from the main road. : It seems that a visitor is coming.

The carriage slowly stopped beside the gravel road. An attendant in black uniform jumped out of the carriage and opened the door on the side of the carriage. Hao Ren happened to be walking by at the moment. When he saw the figure coming out of the carriage, his eyes His steps couldn't help but pause.

A tall and thin man stepped out of the carriage. His face was thin and his expression was gloomy. He seemed to be forever shrouded in a layer of frost. Under a pair of light gray eyebrows was a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. These eyes Hao Ren is very familiar with it.

When he first arrived in White City, he was stared at with hostility by these eyes.

At this time, Aniya standing aside suddenly interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts: "Uncle Lu En, why are you here?"

Rune? Is this the Grand Duke Luen? Was it the alchemist he recommended that cured the prince and princess' "cursed illness" with magic potion?

Hao Ren was a little surprised and subconsciously said: "Are you the Grand Duke Lu En?"

Grand Duke Lu En did not show any strange emotions when he saw Hao Ren this time. He just had a straight face as always, as if his expression was frozen. He first bowed slightly to the two princesses and Prince Andrew who was hiding at the back. He bowed his head in greeting and finally looked at Hao Ren, "Guardian, it's nice to see you. We should have met at the banquet yesterday, right?"

"We met when the airship landed on the first day," Hao Ren also hid his emotions and just smiled, "It's just that I can't remember other people's names clearly. Please forgive me."

"I heard that your Excellency is a powerful ancient warrior, and is also the high-ranking bishop of the temple. In such a position, and there is still a gap of a thousand years between now and now, it is normal for you not to pay much attention to us mortals," Grand Duke Lu En He said calmly, "I came here to see the recovery status of His Highness Aniya and His Highness Andrew. I don't know why Your Excellency's visit is..."

"Oh, I'm here to visit the doctor too. Veronica brought me here."

After hearing this, Grand Duke Lu En glanced at Hao Ren with some suspicion. This time, he barely concealed his expression.

"Is there any problem, Uncle Luen?" Ania immediately saw the change in the atmosphere, and her title to Grand Duke Luen showed that she seemed to have a good private relationship with this important minister of the kingdom. Of course, it is possible that they really There is some kind of kinship relationship. After all, in the intricate upper-class noble circle of the kingdom, the blood relationship has become an intricate network structure. It can even be said that the entire upper-class nobles of the Talos Kingdom are composed of two or three major bloodlines. Yes, it is normal for some princes and nobles to treat each other by kinship in a private environment, "The Guardian is very concerned about Andrew and I."

"Really, why don't the guardians bother to pay attention to us juniors a thousand years from now," Grand Duke Lu En said with a dull face, and then suddenly changed the topic, "Since we suddenly met at this moment, it is an opportunity. I have some questions that I just want to ask the guardian for clarification."

Hao Ren was a little curious: "Question?"

"Although I am not a scholar, I am very interested in a lot of ancient knowledge." Grand Duke Lu En raised his eyelids, as if he was really talking about his field of interest. "It's just that history is full of incomplete and fictional shadows. For a layman like me, It's hard to come across truly valuable knowledge - I want to ask you, the guardian of a thousand years ago, how the three Holy Spirit Warriors of the Holy Domain divided the Hanging River ten centuries ago. Two? How did the Xuankong River recover as before?"

Hao Ren was stunned.

Then cold sweat began to flow on the insteps...

But the expression on his face remained unchanged. After some super-speed thinking, he choked out some words: "Ahem, I had been stationed at the Cassuan Temple back then. During the battle you mentioned, Before this happened, the Temple of Casuain fell, and then I fell into a long sleep. Of course, I knew nothing about the subsequent events you mentioned. Although I am sorry, I can't help you in this regard. ."

"Is that so... the feat of the Holy Spirit Warriors to separate the Hanging River was indeed at the end of the Thousand Years War," Archduke Luen nodded, but then came the next question, "Then do you know the battle in which the 'Pale Knight' Wagner fell? Who destroyed the Frost Queen's scepter? As we all know, it was the damage to the scepter that prevented the Everwinter Alliance from arriving on the battlefield in time. However, there are different opinions on the truth behind the destruction of the scepter. I'm afraid you are the only one. Only those who have personally experienced that era can tell us the truth."

Veronica couldn't help but interjected at this time: "Uncle Lu En, that's not..."

Grand Duke Luen immediately raised his hand to interrupt Veronica: "I hope to get guidance from the guardian. Your Highness Veronica, you have slept through every history class, so it is better to listen at this time. "

Veronica: "..."

Hao Ren could tell. Although he didn't know where he had exposed himself, the Grand Duke Luen was obviously suspicious of his identity as an "ancient guardian". He didn't ask for advice at all, but came to question.

"I know," he spread his hands on the spot, "but I don't have time to tell you now."

Grand Duke Lu En was stunned - this was not going according to the routine.

He has scheming with many people, but never seems so shameless!

"Because I have an appointment with someone," Hao Ren continued panting at this time. "The Kande family is also inviting me, and they are also discussing the issue of ancient knowledge. As a Holy Land person who values ​​commitment and fairness, after completing I can’t tell you more before this appointment.”

He secretly changed the concept in the first two sentences, causing the two princesses beside him to whisper: "Aniya, is there such a commandment in the sanctuary?" "I've never heard of it..."

Hao Ren said with a straight face: "It was a thousand years ago."

Grand Duke Lu En was startled, and then his expression remained unchanged: "In this case, it's because I was rude. Please go to the appointment first, Lord Guardian. I will wait for your advice."

The implication is that he will have to come back to verify it again. Sure enough, the old ginger is still spicy, and his old ginger must have become spicy...

Hao Ren was two heads taller than the other, but at least he passed the test. He kept his expression unchanged, and while maintaining the demeanor of an outsider, he nodded to Grand Duke Lu En: "No problem, teach the world." It is the bounden duty of clergymen like us. Little guy, your diligent and studious spirit makes me very happy. Go back and wait. When I have sorted out my thoughts, I will definitely enlighten you when I come back. "

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the other party to answer.

Grand Duke Lu En's expression turned petrified from behind, and he murmured to himself after a while: "Little... little guy?"

Veronica and Aniya think this title is perfectly fine!
