Chapter 183: Evening Talk
Grace House. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Judging by the name, it is easy to mistake this temple for either a place where an altar is placed to pray for divine grace, or a place where miracles have been performed in the past. But in fact, both conjectures are wrong, and if there is one colloquial word to describe the real purpose of this rather imposing house, it should be - office.
That's right, the House of Charity is actually the office of the Holy See in the city of Ridmar. Compared with the quiet of the past, today's people in the Divine Grace Temple shouted and neighed, and the two carriages and dozens of knights' mounts filled the place, and it was very lively. Even because the stables could not accommodate so many horses, many knights simply tied their horses to the entrance courtyard of the Divine Grace Courtyard to feed, making this small courtyard, which originally looked quite delicate and elegant, dark and smoky for a while, and the smell of horse feces and urine was everywhere, which made the person in charge of the Divine Grace Courtyard miserable.
However, the leader of these knights, Viscount Juan, the lord of Varna City, was too lazy to care about these things, and the Viscount, who had just had a full meal, sat on a chaise longue on the balcony on the second floor of the small building, while holding the small twig pulled out of the potted plant that he didn't know leisurely picking his teeth, while cocking Erlang's legs and squinting his eyes to let the light of the sunset shine on him, the whole person looked leisurely and quite comfortable.
"Hiccup!" A loud burp suddenly sounded behind Viscount Juan. The Viscount's ears moved slightly, and the expression on his face suddenly showed a hint of a smile, obviously recognizing the voice. But he showed no sign of getting up, and said lazily, "Bishop Leo, perhaps you should comfort that princess and apprentice, instead of coming to talk to a bloody-blooded old man like me." ”
Obviously, Viscount Juan was a little dissatisfied with Leo's behavior of not listening to his painstaking advice, and still choosing to hang out with Princess Bella every day. Of course, Leo also heard the resentment in Viscount Juan's words, but Leo knew that the Viscount was indeed for his own good in this matter, so he didn't refute it, but laughed twice, and sat down on another chaise longue next to Viscount Juan: "Don't make trouble, have you forgotten that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been taken into the palace?" By the way, what happened to your men's casualties, Lord Viscount. ”
"Twenty-four people, good luck, not more than half." Although this topic made Viscount Juan's face a little uncomfortable, but what Lord Viscount said was indeed the truth, if it weren't for the containment of the hundred white-armored knights, Viscount Juan's personal superior combat power, and Leo's timely support throughout the field, these fifty Varna knights from a small border town may not be enough to charge the hundred battle-hardened elite blood knights of the empire under Emmanuel, so after this battle, half of the Varna City knights would still survive. It's a blessing in disguise.
Leo sighed, patted Viscount Juan's shoulder, and said very sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Viscount Juan threw aside the small sprig used as a toothpick in his hand, sat up from the chaise longue, and looked at Leo with the same seriousness: "You're welcome." The lord of Varna then shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Besides, did I have any other choice at that time?" ”
"I assure you that the knights who died today will be compensated as they deserve." Leo's eyes were very determined.
For some reason, Viscount Juan, who heard this, suddenly felt a slight warmth in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and patted Leo on the shoulder: "Those are my soldiers, and I will be responsible for the care of their families." Besides, don't forget that in addition to my men, the knights of His Highness Emmanuel and Julian have also died a lot, do you want to compensate them too? ”
"Of course it can't be, because they're not fighting for me." Leo shook his head, and then asked, "By the way, I already know that the knights under Emmanuel are from the Scarlet Knights, but what about the knights under His Highness Julian?" In the noon battle, in addition to the already strong Scarlet Knight, the group of white-armored knights under Julian also impressed Leo enough, after all, not all cats and dogs can fight with the Scarlet Knights, only a few points inferior.
Viscount Juan quickly replied: "It is a silver-white knight from the second prince's mother family, and its strength can be regarded as first-class among the many knights in the empire." By the way, what happened to Darwin? "In Viscount Juan's memory, Darwin never seemed to have risen again after being knocked away by Emmanuel in the daytime battle.
"Seriously injured, but the doctor said that as long as you recuperate for two or three months, there should be no big problem." Leo sighed, then said, "You just said that those white-armored knights are from Julian's maternal family?" It seems that the strength of the mother family of this second prince must be quite amazing. ”
"You don't know?" Viscount Juan gave Leo a strange look.
"What do I know?" It was clear that Leo was a little baffled by the question.
"It seems that you really don't know, haven't you ever cared about the current affairs of the empire?" Viscount Juan shook his head and said, "The mother of the second prince is Her Majesty the current Empress of our Spany Empire. ”
"I see." Leo suddenly realized: "It is normal for a family to have a queen as its backing, and its strength is extraordinary." ”
This answer made Viscount Juan can't help but roll his eyes, and said a little depressed: "Leo, I found that you are simply a political idiot. The mother family of the second prince did not get to his current status because of the queen. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the strength of their family that the mother of the second prince was able to ascend to the throne of the queen, do you understand? ”
Leo was about to say something, but a servant abruptly interrupted their conversation: "Lord Bishop, Bishop Gavin is calling you. ”
"Okay." Leo got up from his chair and asked Viscount Juan before leaving, "When are you returning?" ”
Viscount Juan obviously had the answer in his mind: "Since Princess Bella has been admitted to the palace, then my escort mission this time has naturally been completed, and there are still many things in the Varna Territory that need my decision, so I must return tomorrow." What about you? When are you and Lord Gavin going to the Holy See? ”
"I don't know the answer, but it should be tomorrow." Leo replied that since the Holy See was still west of the city of Ridmar, Leo was actually passing through the capital of the Sbonney Empire.
Viscount Juan nodded, and instead of continuing to speak, he lay back in his chair. Leo followed the servant into the hallway behind the balcony, and behind him, the blood-red sun slowly sank into the horizon.
