The coronation should be a sacred and solemn event, as everyone thinks, and in fact it is prepared and carried out almost according to this standard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, almost.

If it weren't for the influence of various things that Kohler tossed, the word "almost" in this sentence should have been removed, but now because of those things, this sacredness and grandeur have been slightly discounted. Although it's really only a small discount.

Hobbes still didn't find the person they were trying to catch in the city, but the suspicious elements found in the previous search gave Hobbes reason to believe that the initial clue was most likely true, so they had to continue the search. After the coronation, or until all the dangerous elements are apprehended, there is probably no reason to stop these searches.

However, such an aimless investigation is so inefficient that it is unacceptably low, and even a few days ago, until the day of the coronation ceremony, we still can't let down our vigilance, but it can't affect the process of the coronation ceremony itself. The whole search had to be carried out and concealed and low-key, and it was simply an impossible task in front of him.

Most of Hobbes's own guards have returned to their posts, and it is no longer possible to mobilize so many people to carry out this work anyway, and it is necessary to strengthen the relative security protection. As for Angus himself, almost all of the guards and retinues around him are old subordinates who have followed him back from the battlefield, these people are trustworthy in terms of loyalty and combat effectiveness, and they are veterans who have followed him all the way to the present, and it is very suitable to serve as Angus's guards today.

The more critical search work was handed over to Matthew.

If Matthew had chosen for himself, perhaps he would have thought of giving up the coronation surroundings and actively choosing to continue the search, his presence in Scaloa is really delicate. He was temporarily under the orders of Skalloa, but not Scalloa's troops, and he recognized Angus's position but at the same time did not actively support it, or even justifiably not support the new king. Just because he is loyal to Karil. Andris is a personal team, and this allegiance is still recognized and protected by the new king himself. At this level, as long as Matthew doesn't do anything that affects the overall situation, reactionary and anti-social, he can turn a blind eye to Angus and not bird him much.

So his mentality as a citizen of another country is completely undisguised, he admits that Angus and Skalloa are the victors of this war, and recognizes this new overlord country and the new king, but he does not admit that he is its national and so on, he is still obsessed with his former country, even if it no longer exists, and it also leaves him with many very bad memories.

But in his concept, the motherland is an absolute existence that does not need to be reasonable, and the resistance to Scaloa is therefore real. And he can put this sentiment on the surface with little scruples, he is not a loyal Skalloa anyway......

In fact, in the end, as long as he has Elaine by his side and fulfills his oath of allegiance, there is nothing else worth caring about. Coupled with his own resistance to other countries, it makes sense to continue to search and ensure safety rather than participating in any coronation ceremony.

Now Hobbes's safety directly affects Karil and Elaine, and no matter how you look at it, it makes him feel much more practical than the new king's accession to the throne.

In fact, there are many people who are resistant, but the attitude of the small people is not serious, and the big forces cannot compete with the victorious Scaloa, and how to integrate the people in these occupied areas in the future is also a very important matter.

In short, all kinds of things are inevitably moving forward. Heralding the arrival of a new day, the darkness of the night is finally gradually dispelled by the morning sun, and gradually fades, like a prelude that has just begun.

The coronation began as scheduled.

All the guards and attendants had already arrived at their intended positions. Angus himself and the other characters were already in place, and this scene had been rehearsed countless times, but it was not as crowded as it is today.

Crowded, fanatical, huge crowds. They crowded around the road at the beginning of the first reading, watching the new king's every movement, listening to every word, cheering and offering their loyalty as he began to take his first steps.

For Scarloa himself, Angus had unshakable popular support after returning from the war, and these fanatical people were the mainstay of Angus' de facto kingship. The aristocracy, which was directly controlled by Andris and the Bethel family, was the capital to maintain royal power.

If it weren't for those who were ready to attack, Angus would have been intoxicated.

Rights are the sweetest wine in the world, and they are everything that human society ultimately forms.

But the thought of the danger of a threat to everyone around him made Angus feel that the intoxication was mixed with an intolerable impurity.

From here, he was to make a pilgrimage to the entire Hobbesian people along the original route, the most lengthy, but the most important, part of the ceremony before his official coronation. During this phase, he will confront his people, who will be able to see the new king who is about to ascend the throne.

All the dignitaries did not appear at this time, and they would not officially join the ceremony until Angus arrived at the king's castle. The present part of the ceremony belongs to all those present, and it is like a feverish brainwashing exercise, and the atmosphere present can bring everyone to the admiration of the new king.

And Angus, as the new king, also responded to his people with the perfect performance that a new king should have.

Everything looks like it's been planned and rehearsed, everything is going on and on, and it looks like it's going to go on until it's over.

It would have been nice if this had done so, and all the key personnel of the whole ceremony were in a state of absent-mindedness at this important moment. All of them were on the lookout for the unexpected that might happen at any moment, and most of them were excited and uneasy, wary of any attack that could happen anywhere and from any angle.

Except for Matthew and his subordinates who carefully investigated Hobbes, all the important people had their hearts hanging in their throats. Including Carlil, who has always been relatively heartless, is pacing back and forth in Andris Castle, and he is still rolling on the bed without a big grin.

She is, of course, one of the most important people to come out today, and in fact one of the most important people for the new king...... You might even be able to get rid of one of them. It's a bit unreasonable. It's just that it's not yet time for Karil to be there, and she can stay in her own home for the time being.

But it wasn't the coronation that made Carlil nervous today, it wasn't the first time she had attended a similar event. The real reason why she was pacing back and forth alone in the castle hall early this morning was the uneasiness in her heart.

It's not an intuition, but a feeling after experiencing the ups and downs of all kinds of things, a kind of reasoning based on the development of things and various details, with one's own experience, although it is often vague, but often very accurate.

Fear is afraid that it is accurate, bad premonitions are often accurate, and good premonitions often do not happen anything. Karil thought the same thing, she had been irritable since early this morning, and could no longer lie in bed, and she had washed up early and was ready to go, wearing her specially made and luxurious gown, and with a folded folding fan in her hand, and wandering through the castle hall with a frown.

Something should be found, from those burnt pieces of paper a few days ago to now.

That's what Carlil had always felt, and the thought had become more and more certain since this morning, and she had always felt that it was all too uneventful, uneventful, as if everything was still in her opponent's plan. And at the same time, there is no way to break the deadlock.

Therefore, as soon as she saw Honglian push the door into the hall, she eagerly went up and asked, "Is there anything new to discover over there Matthew?" ”

Although the search has been affected, at least it is still searching, and it would be nice if there was something to be gained.

"Unfortunately, the League of Assassins and Matthew's capture turned out to be no threat." Honglian shook her head helplessly. In the face of an anxious Caryl, she also wanted to come up with something that would make people happy, but the reality was not the direction she had hoped.

In the entire hall, there was only the irritable Kaliel, and the still peaceful Qing Qi, Red Lotus naturally joined this strange combination, and after being caught by Karil and asking a lot of detailed questions about the search, he quickly lost interest in Red Lotus.

Carlil kept telling herself that it was just past morning, that Angus's ceremony had just begun, that there was still time, that we still had time. But the feeling that something was going to happen grew stronger. This strong premonition had been hanging over her and making her very uneasy.

"Na, you two" Kahlil finally couldn't help but speak, she got up from her seat in the hall, looked at Qing Xi and Red Lotus on her left and right, and said: "Go and bring a little manpower each, help Matthew quickly search the streets along the Angus road, the more crowded places gather, the more carefully observe!" ”

Kaliel wasn't really good herself, but she did feel she needed to do something to ease her anxiety. And these two guys are now the most reliable helpers for themselves.

"Did you really decide that?" Qing Ci put down the hands in front of him and stared at Kahlil with serious eyes: "If you can't confirm the safety of the environment, as a guard, you shouldn't leave your employer's side." ”

He was a guard, not a soldier of Scalloa, and of course if it was Kalil's decision, it wasn't impossible to complete.

"Of course, now we're facing a more important problem for the time being, aren't we?"

Kahlil replied in a categorical tone. She didn't want anything to go wrong with the coronation, so she tried to do whatever she could.

Qing Xi looked at Karil's appearance and was quiet for a few seconds before nodding and replying, "Then, as you wish, I will set off." With that, he quickly turned and walked out of the hall.

"What about you?" Kaliel turned her head to look at Red Lotus again, but Red Lotus's reluctant look made Karil feel a little helpless.

"Rest for a while......" Red Lotus replied slowly. She ran up and down early in the morning for a while, and it had only been two minutes since she sat down, and she didn't even drink saliva, and she really didn't want to be sent out.

"Dinner with barbecue." Kahlil held out a finger cleanly.

"Deal!" The red lotus jumped up from her seat at once, but it was a pity that the spiritual head lasted less than three seconds and weakened, but it was at least much more decent than just now.

"Come back to me before noon," Karil admonished, slowly sitting back in her chair.

Honglian nodded in reply, then stretched hard, and walked towards the hall door slowly, but as soon as she was halfway there, the heavy wooden door was opened from the outside.

A maid stood outside with a few men in papal robes, and the leading bishop was eager to greet him, and without saying hello, he broke into the hall with three or four low-ranking priests behind him, and hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve as he went, and was about to hand it to Karil.

Something happened!

That was Karil's first reaction, and she sat up abruptly from her seat.

The group passed by Honglian, who was about to go out, and at the moment of rubbing shoulders, Honglian turned her head slightly, and her eyes swept over the few people who entered the house, and a question immediately appeared in her mind.

Who's that......?

Red Lotus's gaze crossed with one of several low-level priests at the moment of rubbing shoulders, and it was at this moment that Red Lotus recognized this somewhat impressed face, and a dangerous thought instantly formed in her mind. She's seen this guy, she's seen this face somewhere, but this face shouldn't be here in this capacity!

Her reflexive eyes were slightly wide, and she wanted to shout a warning to Karil at the moment when her gaze met and passed by, but when she recognized him, the other party also noticed the strangeness of the red lotus.

Time seemed to have been slowed down countless times, and Honglian could even clearly see the vicious smile on the corner of the other party's mouth. (To be continued.) )
