Chapter 1250: Undercurrent
In the light and shadow of the fireworks and magic, the height of the airship slowly descended. When there was still some distance from the ground, Hao Ren heard the grand cheer coming from below. He looked at it like a colored ocean. The crowd that was constantly surging, couldn’t help but scream with Sir Morian next to him: "It seems that Veronica is very popular among the civilians."
"People don't necessarily know what the greatness of the Princess is doing outside," Morian shrugged. "But they all get a sweet pastry."
Hao Ren: "..."
After a slight sway, the airship finally docked steadily on the edge of the rectangular platform built with white stones. The powerful mountain warriors pushed the heavy springboard from the platform to the side of the airship and used it. The locks were fastened, and then the Royal Honor squad played 22 salutes on both sides of the red carpet, and Veronica and Morian appeared in front of everyone.
Hao Ren stood on the other side of Veronica, and even faintly half a position before Morian.
Twenty of the knights who were born and died with the princess and eventually returned to the triumph were lined up behind the three of them. The knights did not change their costumes on the battlefield. They were still wearing the scarred, blood-stained armor and waist. The long sword was full of scars after the fierce battle. Twenty knights walked down the pedals with the momentum of thousands of people. They immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the onlookers, and the grand cheers rang out. The name of the rose on the battlefield that began to shout the kingdom was deafening.
Veronica waved to the crowd below the platform, her eyes staying at certain points in the crowd, and nodded slightly with a slight invisible degree: it seems that it is not too late to come back.
Hao Ren sees everything in his eyes. Of course he can see that there are several points in the cheers around him, and it is natural to assume that the Princess of the Princess will need some means to maintain her prestige in the king city and shock herself. The aristocratic faction that is controlled, these things will not make him feel disgusted or whisper to Veronica, he is only interested in all this, just like any other qualified examiner, these "passed by The scenery is just a spectator attitude.
As he watched, he followed the princess and walked forward. At the end of the red carpet, he saw a majestic middle-aged man in gorgeous costumes and a group of aristocrats standing behind the middle-aged.
This should be the king of Talos, he guessed.
Sure enough, Veronica came to the middle of the middle-aged man and immediately went to salute, ready to pay tribute to his father in accordance with the Royal Courtesy, but before that the majestic king had taken a step forward. For the first time in his life, Rudolf III took the initiative to throw the cumbersome rules aside. He gave his daughter a hug: "Welcome home, my child."
"Father," Veronica seems to have noticed this hug. She just smiled after she retired. "It is better to see you in good health. I am back, and it is very important." intelligence."
"You crossed the border of order?" Rudolf III looked at Veronica and the knights behind her, and eventually stayed on Hao Ren. Of course he can see that this is a stranger, but this stranger is standing in such a conspicuous and important place, even looks more honorable than Veronica's royal swordsman, he can not help but start to guess that this strange man is Where come, "And you bring a guest."
Veronica immediately leaned over and solemnly introduced: "Father, this is the ancient guardian we brought from the holy mountain of Kasuan, he helped us to cross the chaotic field and take us all the feats along the way. He is Hao Ren, from the last millennium."
The expression of Rudolph III was a bit wrong.
Probably in all the speculations of the King, this is the one that made him most incredible.
And several of the close ministers standing behind Rudolph III naturally heard Veronica's words, and their expressions were also wonderful. These high-powered big men will naturally not be ignorant villagers. Although they have never seen the ancient books about the sacred mountains of Kasuan, they have heard similar stories, so naturally What does it mean to understand an ancient guardian who has been awakened from the ancient holy places? This not only means that a powerful warrior has returned to the order world, but also means that some ancient techniques and lost historical pieces have been filled.
However, such things basically only happen in the stories of bards and lame playwrights.
No one would have thought that they could really encounter such a thing in their lifetime, but there were a few old ministers who were relieved after seeing the team of the savage knights behind Veronica: if it is the famous knight princess It seems that it is not too strange to encounter such an adventure.
Hao Ren always looked at the scene of the reunion and the triumph of the knight in front of this scene. For this strange kingdom, he did not intend to take the initiative, but at this moment, he felt a strange look. On myself.
In fact, at this moment, a lot of eyes are focused on his "ancient guardian" who suddenly emerged. If his own ability to perceive is beyond mortal, I am afraid that he can't distinguish one or two special gaze from it.
With the instigation of the heart, Hao Ren raised his eyelids slightly and found the source of his sight: behind Rudolph III, a middle-aged man with a thin body and pale face is looking at himself. This middle-aged man is dressed in a lavender The robe, only a few steps away from His Majesty the King, is obviously a very high-ranking person. The eyes hidden under the high cheekbones are long and gloomy. The inside is like a cold water without waves and lacks emotion, although he is aware. Immediately after Hao Ren’s reaction, he shifted his gaze and concealed his expression well, but Hao Ren was 100% sure that the eyes of those eyes had just fallen on him.
That gaze is not only ordinary curiosity and exploration, but more of a kind of vigilance and even hostility, hostility without any reason.
But apart from the parties, the people around them did not notice this "small episode."
The welcoming ceremony was soon over. When the routines necessary to welcome the triumphant knights were over, the gorgeous gold-plated carriages slowly came from the other end of the platform, and the king and his close ministers took the few of them. The car is ready to return to the Golden Rose Palace. But when riding the first carriage, Veronica proposed to let Hao Ren walk with her.
The first carriage was for the royal family. Except for the royal family members, only the king's chartered dukes and generals could take the ride, and that must be done under very special circumstances.
Therefore, this request made Rudolf III some accidents. He thought of Hao Ren’s “Ancient Guardian” identity, and he also knew that this identity was different, but he still did not expect Veronica to pay such attention to this guardian. He used his eyes to consult his daughter again and got a more positive answer.
"Father," Veronica nodded hard. "The guardian led us to complete all the battles in the chaotic land and repelled the army of monsters in front of the fortress in the West. His selfless behavior deserves our highest respect. Some visions about the land that occurs in Chaos... I think we need to discuss it with the guardians."
Rudolf III heard a particularly serious attitude from Veronica's tone. He looked at Hao Ren, who was naturally an indifferent expression. After a moment of consideration, the king nodded and nodded: "It should be."
Therefore, the occupants of the first carriage, in addition to His Majesty the King and Veronica, have more such "ancient guardians" than Hao Ren, which is naturally not in line with the rules, but in this case, naturally no one will question The king's decision.
Just before getting on the bus, Hao Ren felt the cold gaze again.
He looked up, but only saw a tall and thin back, the king of the country wearing a Chinese costume has already taken another carriage.
"Inexplicable..." Hao Ren shook his head. "I recruited him to provoke him..."
Although he did not know where he had offended a kingdom minister who had never met before, he still silently remembered the appearance of the tall and thin man and prepared to go back and look for an opportunity to investigate. I am afraid that the other side still feels that hiding his sight is very good, but he probably can't think of Hao Ren's perception ability to be such an incredible degree.
When the carriage left the white platform, the noisy vocals outside were gradually drifting away, and the cabin seemed quiet. Sitting opposite Veronica and Rudolf III, Hao Ren was not curious to look around, nor was he restrained. He only slightly narrowed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes and keeping his eyes: he had done a "ancient guardian".
And across from him, Veronica finally couldn't help but hold the king's hand: "Father, why didn't Arnia and Andrew come?"
"They are ill," Rudolph III frowned when he said this. Obviously, the sudden illness of a pair of children made the day worth celebrating today a "shadow," especially Ania, who was originally determined. Come to meet you, but I am really worried about her physical condition."
"Is the younger brother and sister sick?" Veronica suddenly got nervous. "Is it serious?"
"Don't worry," Rudolph III smiled with relief. "It's getting better now. The Royal Pharmacist gave them special medicine. Now Andrew has been able to move around. Ania only needs to stay for a few days."
Hao Ren’s ear, which is “closing his eyes and keeping his eyes”, suddenly moved.
He heard some unusual repression from the tone of Rudolph III, the situation of the prince and the princess... I am afraid it is not just as simple as illness. (To be continued.)
