After Blaste escaped with Lu Xi with a spatial array, the group traveled day and night, and it took less than two days to arrive at the imperial capital. However, they found that at this time, the entire city was already under a state of military martial law day and night.

There were a total of eight gates on the land of the imperial capital, but only the middle one in the south was open for an hour every day in the afternoon, and only officials and military officers on official business, plus some high-ranking people were allowed to enter and exit. As for the two water gates that straddle the east and west, they will only be opened for a while when cargo ships carrying supplies arrive

Lu Xi understood and agreed with Emperor Iken's approach. It should be known that if the millions of refugees gathered outside the city poured into the imperial capital, the security situation in the entire city would completely collapse, and the provisions would be difficult to maintain. Not to mention that the nobles who are still in the city spend their lives drinking and drinking, if the supplies of the soldiers cannot be delivered, then the problem will be in the eyes.

Of course, more importantly, if there are formed enemies infiltrating the city, disguised as refugees and ambushing, when Her Royal Highness the world's first princess leads the main force of the "rebel army" to the city, and then there is a center of internal and external cooperation, then everything will be in the clouds.

Tyrrell had suggested that the officer guarding the water gate to the east was a member of the Lancaster family, and that it was through that he had escaped from the imperial capital. Mr. Sir thought it would be better for him to take everyone into the city from the old place again, and then find a way to inform his lord Tommen, and they would get together to discuss what to do next. He was so excited that he was directly bombarded by Lu Xi with a look at the mentally handicapped child, so that he couldn't even raise his head.

"That Assassin named Sumoa has been waiting for you in the water for so long, which means that you have been exposed. It's hard to say whether His Highness Kalman, who is only 5 years old, has been discovered, but your Lord Thoman, will certainly not be able to escape, and your people who guard the gates are unlikely to be spared. His Majesty Iken may not seem like a man who can kill his son ruthlessly, but at least he will put him under house arrest, and he will also monitor every move of the Duke of Lancaster with all his might. Tempest kindly explained to the other party, "They'll definitely come." In fact, the other party is very clear about this. ”

"But we also know that the other side knows that we will come. Lu Xi raised his head and added proudly.

"That's, that's ...... Ah no, His Highness Somans won't be dangerous?" Ser Tyrrell began to get anxious.

"The danger is not yet there. At most, they are restricted from their freedom. As I said just now, if the new emperor is really a ruthless man who is decisive enough to kill his son, he will not let the situation fall to the point where it is out of control today. Lu Xi looked at this knight who was loyal and brave, but obviously not particularly useful. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: The 'little giant' who was obviously a father was a big black-bellied villain with a great reputation and made the entire Falling Star Sea tremble, how could this son be such a brave and unscrupulous pure and reckless man? Uncle Iken sent such an attendant knight to his stupid son Tommanjun, who was bullied every day by his herbivorous natural red eyes, could he also claim to be his own father?

In short, Knight Tyrrell is such a person. has a bit of courage, a bit of sincerity, and can be regarded as a qualified knight officer born in the nobility, but that's all. If it weren't for the fact that he was the main owner who brought the news, and the loyalty of the protector was also a lot of respect, Lu Xi wouldn't even want to come over with this burden.

On the other hand, the Federal Embassy had already left the Imperial Capital in order to avoid getting involved in the war—and even then, Lu Xi didn't expect them to help in this situation—so his only choice was the Great Holy Hall.

"Based on the position of the Great Church. It is impossible for Anthony to intervene in the struggle for the throne in Auckland. Hurricane thought Lu Xi's idea was a bit naïve.

"I didn't need him to intervene, I just needed a little bit of advice. Remember, it's just advice. ”

Just as Lu Xi guessed, His Majesty the Cardinal really didn't pretend for too long, and he quickly made a decision just after listening to Lu Xi's words. He didn't even seriously interrogate the source of the information, as if he had maintained a hundred percent trust in the latter.

"You kid wouldn't lie to me about such a big thing. Anyway, even if it was a mistake, the Great Sanctuary wouldn't have anything to lose. None of us were involved in the battle, and we didn't have to spend any money. The old bishop said solemnly: "Besides, if you are discovered, we will definitely clean ourselves up." This. Kids, you can understand, right?"

Of course, that's understandable. If you want to cooperate with the Great Holy Church, you have to fully accept your hypocrisy.

It's normal to be hypocritical, and it's normal to make a look like I'm just not on the side and I'm neutral. It's certainly more normal to put on the cold pretense that I'm a holy clergyman who serves God and just don't want to get involved in the power struggle between you mortals. In fact, this is indeed a reflection of the attitude of the Great Holy Church towards these powerful human nations most of the time.

In many cases, the reason why the divine power can exist and pass on healthily is also because they have made limited compromises or even complete submissions to the imperial power, such as the ancient Celestial Empire. And when the divine power can suppress the imperial power. That's not a good thing for religion or the world. If you don't know, you can take a look at the black history of the cross religion of the Lu Xi family, when the religious leader said that he could accept his fate to teach the secular king as a junior or even a servant, it was the most destructive, destructive, anti-intellectual, and anti-human religion in human history, and there was absolutely no one......

And when their theocratic dignity was impacted into scum by the glory of the industrial age, they hurriedly confessed that they actually raised the banner of human rights and humanity in the era when science and people and wisdom had been opened, and Guangwei was in a mess. not only seriously fooled more and more petty bourgeois and fresh believers, but also threw the pot of the most anti-civilized religion to the green religion, a good friend who has loved and killed each other for more than a thousand years, in fact, they are obviously born by the same mother.

It was precisely because he was accustomed to seeing all kinds of pretensions and manipulations of his world religion that Lu Xi fully understood the practices of the Great Holy Church, and not only understood, but also appreciated and respected them a little.

The goddesses of the Holy Spirit enshrined in the Great Sanctuary are a fact, and because they do exist, although they are "immortal", they are not "immortal", and the truly transcendent powers and educated nobles will never regard them as the all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good supreme of "Ya What" and "An-what", but as a concept of savior, guide, and protector. In this way, religious institutions, which completely dominate people's thoughts, have no soil for their own existence. Naturally, there is no reason to interfere in the regime.

As a result, the Great Church simply positioned itself as a transnational "non-governmental organization" to help the poor and support the far and wide. They are engaged in basic education, and by the way, they are also engaged in transnational wanted and encircled and suppressed international crimes. This is clearly a combination of the Red Cross and Interpol, and it is indeed Guangwei who is in a mess.

The biggest reason why this kind of organization has been able to survive so many major historical periods of imperial changes and world events since its establishment, and still enjoys the support and respect of all countries and dynasties and generations, is, of course, because of its neutrality.

"Yes. So I didn't give up any of my neutrality. The old bishop explained in this way: "My paladins and armed priests have not participated in any civil war, but have been following the teachings of the goddess and doing their best to help the poor victims. Well, I just gave you a little advice, very small advice. And after you leave this tent, I will tell anyone that I have never seen you before. ”

"Yes, I'm just bringing my newly recruited teaching assistants into the palace. As for what you did when you went in, it has nothing to do with me. Miss Priest with a knife said.

It's strange that it has nothing to do with it, after all, you brought people in? uh, you continue to be tsundere. Anyway, the Great Holy Church, which had to compromise and neutrality because of practical reasons, has always been very arrogant. Up to the cardinal, down to the priest with the sword......

Although the priestess with a knife named "Ether" looked to be only in her early twenties, she actually had a very young baby face, and because of her long time of martial arts and magic training, her body appeared very vigorous and energetic. In fact, as an assistant to the affairs of His Majesty the Cardinal, she is thirty-five years old this year, and her rank in the Great Church is not low, and the bishop of the region. and the same knights of the Templars. He is also an armed priest whose strength has reached the 4th rank of gold, so he is naturally a master.

Of course, like her superiors and colleagues, she has been busy helping and treating the victims during this time. It's already exhausted, and there's also a "fatigue" debuff on his head, which isn't as serious as Old Bishop Anthony's "depletion of mana", but it still greatly affects the efficiency of spellcasting.

"I'm really tired right now, and I need to chant a spell to cast an ordinary healing aura and holy shield, but you don't have to worry about me. The priestess with the knife smiled and patted the war hammer that had been hanging from her waist: "Even if you don't use magic skills." I still have some confidence in my brute strength and fists, and even a dozen or so elite soldiers in full armor don't want to get close to me. ”

"But we're going to enter the palace, are we allowed to bring weapons?"

"Naturally, it is not allowed, unless you have such an honorary privilege. So I'm talking about fists. The goddess smiled, "Besides, it would be too suspicious for so many of you to go in with me." Since it is a teaching assistant, at most one or two people will be in the sky. The rest of the companions should be on standby in the Great Chapel in the city, ready for support. Anyway, there are only two cleaners left there to watch the house, and there is space for everyone to rest. ”

The Great Church is indeed in the north of the imperial capital, but it is separated from the palace by two streets and a huge square, plus thousands of palace guards. can listen to the priest's sister's words, as if everyone is next door, and they can hear the name of the cup and immediately rush out to cut people.

"Well, with your and Miss Wind's fame and ability, you should be able to solve this problem, right?"

Lu Xi nodded and looked at the wind: "It's still the old way, a semi-stable space road marker, right?"

"It's only me who can maintain enough stability. Hurricane's words were very natural, obviously looking down on Lu Xi's spatial magic ability, and after thinking about it, he said: "In addition, that one named Baltoli should also be a very powerful spellcaster, and it is possible to find spatial fluctuations, so try not to get too far away from him." Also, you must not be hit by an enemy with a dimensional anchor. ”

"So, we could only go in one of the two. Lu Xi said: "When encountering a situation, another person will open the space door and let the companions on call go in together." ”

"So, me and you, who will go in? We can only pretend to be Miss Atheel's assistant, then it should be a nun, shouldn't it be better for a girl to play it......?" Belch. I'm sorry. I'm talking nonsense. ”

"If you don't apologize for it, no one will think about it. Lu Xi said angrily: "It's better for me and Lim to go in, after all, if you want to talk about acting, hum." I've only been in the advanced training class for two years, and I'm a level 10 actor with a dignified 'star'! Besides, I've been to the Eichen Palace after all, so it's more convenient for me to explore something or escape. ”

Although the wind wanted to know how Lu Xihede, who had never performed on stage, how could he dare to call himself a "star". But there was no opposition at this time. Obviously, in terms of acting skills and appearance, the professional wind still does not have the confidence to beat Lu Xi, who is "wild road".

"In addition, Nicole is an elf, and there are many differences in appearance and characteristics from humans. Although it is not impossible to force the Transfiguration to change, it will increase the likelihood of being detected by enemies with strong psychic senses. As for Lim's words, haven't you noticed that she is such a cute girl, but once she doesn't speak or speak, she can make anyone ignore her, this is the ultimate master of stealth action!"

"Huh. Lu Lu is right, Miss Lim does have such a ability. The elf girl sneered and nodded, "People have always thought that if we taught her the light body skills of our Norda Hunter, or some stealth methods of the Dark Brotherhood, she would definitely become a master ranger warrior in an instant." ”

I can't guarantee whether she is a master ranger or not, but the master Akarin does have it, and this absolute force is a more reliable ability than her swordsmanship and strange power.

So, the operatives were assigned.

Although Lu Xi had always wondered if Emperor Iken was the father of poor red-eyed little Tomman, at least when it came to treating his daughters, he was at least above the average of all qualified fathers in the world.

Her Royal Highnesses are named Yoanna, Eleani, Dareel, and Eleanor. This year, they are 16, 15, 12 and 10. According to the education method of the Auckland royal family itself, the young children of the royal family, in addition to receiving the basic education of a tutor at a young age, at the age of twelve or thirteen. They should also go to secondary schools specially established for the children of the great nobles, which is also the aristocratic education system created from the time of the Sun King.

The Sun King, Guy the Great, didn't want to raise a group of royals who were "born in the deep palace, grown up in the hands of women", and finally "why not eat minced meat". Allowing the princes and princesses to study with the children of the nobility when they were young not only allowed them to get in touch with the classes that the empire needed the most, but also allowed them to begin to cultivate their own team. On the other hand. Allowing the heirs of the princes and lords in various places to receive a unified education in the imperial capital can also instill a little bit of "loyalty and patriotism" as early as possible, and at the necessary moment, it can even become a means to restrain the princes.

Originally, Yuna and Eranny, the two slightly older princesses, were supposed to study at Santa Mara Girls' College in the imperial capital with a group of daughters born in the great aristocracy. However, since the outbreak of the Auckland Civil War, most of the noble lords have taken their children who are studying in the imperial capital. Not only Santa Mara Girls' College, but also the Auckland National University, which specializes in training administrative bureaucrats, and the Saint Laurent Military Academy, which trains modern officers, have also closed classes. As a result, the two princesses could only wave goodbye to their "best friends" and followers, and returned to the palace.

The academy is closed, but the education of Her Royal Highness the princess cannot be stopped. The "Emperor" hired a splendid line-up of excellent tutors, including many well-known artists and scholars, and the curriculum was much more intensive than in the school. Perhaps he was worried that the princesses would be lonely in the deep palace, so he simply put the four of them together. This responsible father may not have realized that there was anything wrong with putting elementary, middle and high school students in the same classroom.

Mademoiselle Ethel was not only an assistant to the cardinal, chief priest with a knife in the diocese of the Grand Church, Sereditir, but also a well-known archaeologist – and it is not surprising that in addition to charity, poverty alleviation, and international police, the Church was also responsible for the excavation and preservation of historical monuments, and the famous high-ranking clergy were also excellent historians. She is responsible for teaching the history and theology of Her Royal Highnesses the Princesses, which are held every Tuesday morning and Thursday evening. Of course, in the opinion of the "Emperor" of Icon, the most suitable person to teach these two courses is, of course, Cardinal Anthony Saint-Delave. However, he no longer had the nerves, and he didn't dare to ask this old legend, who had been a cardinal for more than 30 years, to be his daughter's papal teacher, so he had to settle for the next best.

Miss Arther didn't have much interest in serving the four princesses, so she was ready to decline. But when Archbishop Anthony heard that His Majesty the Emperor was willing to pay a very large sum of money for tuition, he pondered it for a moment. I found that my little assistant could give at least a few days of warmth to more than 100 victims after teaching once, so I strongly recommended him to participate.

It was Wednesday when Lu Xi and his friends arrived in the imperial capital and found His Majesty the Cardinal in the refugee camp. They changed their clothes. In the evening he went into the city with the priestess. Since they were all wearing church uniforms, and there were "celebrities" like Miss Ether with them, the soldiers defending the city naturally did not dare to ask more, but just casually glanced at them and let them go.

The city of Serokhia was peaceful, at least not as close to purgatory as it was outside. Refugee camps littered with the smell of hunger, sickness, and death, perhaps Emperor Iken's lockdown policy was doing a good job.

However, compared to the last time Lu Xi came, the streets of the imperial capital were naturally much deserted, most of the streets were patrolling and guarding, and the passers-by they occasionally saw were also in a hurry, as if someone was chasing them, as if they could no longer see the confidence and hope of the year. A good historical city that blends prosperity, elegance, antiquity and vitality has been made into such a panicked ghost, and the style of the city's ruler can be seen.

Lu Xi can only look forward to it. After Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess becomes the owner of this city, you can quickly restore this place to its original appearance.

Everyone rested in the sanctuary in the north of the city for a night, and by the way, discussed the details of the operation again. And when the sun was already setting, Miss Ethel changed into a clean and decent bishop's robe, and also asked Lucy and Lim to change into ordinary nun clothes.

The friends originally thought that Lu Xi would be twisted for a long time because of wearing women's clothes, but his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he looked like he was willing to fight a hundred battles. As a result, even the wind showed a slightly surprised expression, and then changed to a very subtle smile.

"Don't think that if I don't speak, I won't feel your malice. Lu Xi sneered and said, "You must be thinking, Lu Xi actually put on women's clothes so easily, does he already have experience, does he have interest in this." Something like that, right?"

"No, I just think it's a little emotionally subtle. Originally, I was still a little confident in my appearance, and when I was studying at the Drama Academy before, I was directly favored by the Haitian Theater Troupe because of this face. He also said that he wanted to use me as a pillar to cultivate or something. Hurricane said in a calm tone. A beautiful girl like her expresses her confidence in her appearance so dignifiedly. And there is no pretentiousness at all, this is actually a very heart-wrenching temperament.

Then, she suddenly changed her words, and her tone seemed a little helpless: "However, seeing that my boyfriend is more radiant than herself after changing into women's clothes, there is always a kind of indescribable." But there is no way to vent the frustration!"

"Then you must adapt to it in the future, Miss Wind, people have already adapted to it. Nicole giggled: "After Lu Lu puts on women's clothes, even if she puts on Norda, she is also a big beauty." Many elf girls were so beaten by him that they didn't look like they were wearing makeup, and they simply wore oil paint on their faces and ran away to be war dancers and jungle hunters. ”

In fact, Nivea's appearance is a top beauty even by the standards of elves, but it's a pity that she has always been like a heartless child, compared with her sister's femininity that looks forward to smiling and smiling, it is really the rhythm of being killed in seconds.

Lu Xi thought to himself whether to say that I never look at my looks when looking for a girlfriend at this time, because I am not as beautiful as me, but if I think about it carefully, this is really too bad, maybe I can destroy myself on the spot The women's army, who accounted for the vast majority of the people present, could destroy themselves.

"It's a little too conspicuous, really. Miss Ace looked at Lu Xi and had to admit that although she was a woman, she also felt obvious amazement in her heart...... Well, it seems that there is something wrong with this statement.

"After all, we are going to do something unseemly, and it is really not good to attract attention like that. It would be best if I could be like Miss Lim. ”

"Would you like to smear some soot or something...... "Vita said excitedly. If everyone agrees, it is estimated that this giant hammer Lori, who has always looked at Lu Xi not very pleasing to the eye, will definitely act immediately without hesitation.

"This will be more conspicuous, okay?" Lu Xi couldn't help but spit out viciously.

Miss Priest took out a bucket that looked very conservative to cover Lu Xi's hair, looked at it for a long time, and then nodded: "Try to keep your head down when walking, and don't look up into other people's eyes when you don't have to." That's right, that's what it feels like. Most ordinary priests and nuns who have just decided to enter the Great Sanctuary to serve the gods also walk in this way, also in order to cultivate their pious and humble star spirits. ”

…… Wouldn't it be possible to cultivate a group of low-eyed and pleasing little daughters-in-law and noodle melons? Lu Xi thought secretly.

In short, since the disguise has been completed, Miss Ethel took the two little "nuns" and set off to meet the sunset.

Let's hope nothing goes wrong. The wind looked at the backs of the group, and there was still some nervousness in his heart. However, she also has to admit that from the professional perspective of her studied studies in the Drama Academy, Lu Xi's acting skills are indeed superb. The posture and form of walking, as well as the expression of low eyebrows and eyes, and even some subtle movements, fully show the image of a little nun who has just joined the Great Sanctuary for a short time, has a simple heart of kindness and godliness, but is somewhat curious about the world.

"Tsk...... Why is it always frustrating me in such subtle places? Well, at least he can't beat me now. Tempest comforted himself like this, and suddenly felt a little better in his mood, and then he opened the Book of Night and Heaven, and summoned a total of four demons, namely the little angel Lin, the wind elf, the mini phoenix Felix, and the mini golden dragon Eve.

"Eve and Felix, you are responsible for conducting all-round wide-area surveillance of the city from high altitudes, be careful not to attract the attention of the patrolling griffins, and evacuate outside the city if there is danger. Lynn, you should go to the Duke of Lancaster or the Prince of Calgary's palace to see if they have really set up an ambush, well, it would be best if you could find the location of the magical advisor, Mr. Baltoli. You, you are responsible for following Lu Xi, and after sneaking into Yongchen Palace, report to me at any time if there is any situation. (To be continued.) )

PS: Although it's a change, it's a 7,000-word chapter, so I've always been very worthy of everyone
