Chapter 165: Prelude

In the library, Richard and Messiah sat together again.

Richard could clearly see that Messiah had put on a little light makeup, and her hair had been carefully groomed.

Originally, although the Messiah was born with natural beauty, it was obviously a little raunchy.

The shoulder-length blonde hair is occasionally a little fluffy, but today it is neatly worn on the shoulder, which makes it even more ladylike.

This is a good sign.

"Richard, what do you mean?"

"The architecture of the royal capital has been greatly influenced by His Majesty Aragon, and you have just not felt it in the royal capital by birth.

Recently, I have looked through ancient books and seen from myself, that before His Majesty Aragon, there was no such style of architecture for the Terrans. ”

As he spoke, Richard pointed to a tall building outside the window,

The overall structure of the building has a bit of a Greek flavor.

But there is a typical Chinese-style cornice-carved shape,

After the two of them researched in the past few days, they found that all such buildings appeared after Aragorn established the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Messiah nodded, as if she understood what Richard meant.

"You mean, His Majesty Aragon is still a master builder?"

He's a king, he's a ghost builder, and I wonder if this is a certain senior, or if it's a senior from the same country as me.

Richard complained frantically at this time, but he couldn't explain the problem directly to the Messiah, although he liked the Messiah, but this matter was a bit outrageous, and it was related to his own biggest secret.

"Well, I think that in order to study the history of the kingdom, we should study it from many aspects, and His Majesty Aragon himself can be the most important aspect of it."

Richard could only forcibly explain one wave, but fortunately, the scholars of the kingdom were not low in curiosity about Aragon, and it was not taboo to study the deeds of the founding kings.

"There are still relics left by the previous king in the palace, I will bring them out tomorrow to see?"

Messiah and Richard didn't get along with each other in a very childish way to hide their identities from each other, and what kind of identity was simple for a young man who could sit in this aristocratic library all day long?

Messiah knew that Richard was the upstart who was about to be crowned a marquis, and Richard also knew the identity of Princess Messiah, and there was no status barrier between the two.

"Bring it out, okay?"

Faced with such a sudden question from the Messiah, Richard was actually a little moved, wanting to explore this former king who was suspected of being a fellow countryman.

There's a good chance of finding some clues if you can get your hands on their belongings.

But this kind of thing, I know that it should be quite precious when I think about it with my ass, it's good that Messiah failed to take it out, if it is really a treasure that the royal family particularly cherishes, and Messiah secretly takes it out, he will become an instigator.

"It's okay, it's just some accessories, leftovers, these things, important items like long swords and armor are all guarded, I can't take them out."

After speaking, he also stuck out his tongue with Richard playfully, obviously the Messiah was already familiar with Richard, and he had lost his initial restraint.

"Then let's talk about it in two days, tomorrow I will go to the palace to attend the knighthood ceremony, so I can't come to the library."

After waiting for many days, it was finally time, thinking that tomorrow when I went to the palace and could not come to the library to meet the Messiah, I still had to say hello to the Messiah first.

The Messiah on the other side stared at Richard and winked.

"Then, see you at my house tomorrow."

Only then did Richard realize that the Messiah himself lived in the palace, and although the ceremony did not have to be attended by the princess, no one would stop them if they wanted to.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Messiah smiled and waved her hand to Richard, her eyes narrowing into a line, obviously in a very good mood.

……

In a secluded courtyard in the palace of the Marquis de Pagat.

"Your Excellency, everything has been arranged, according to the plan, tomorrow's knighthood ceremony, we will enter the royal city as spectators, and when the time comes, you and Lord Hussein will enter the city with me disguised as attendants

The person on duty at the gate that day was one of the lord's men, and he could help us go in directly. ”

The Marquis de Pagat was respectfully reporting to the young Pope about his plans and preparations for the next day.

"How do we bring our weapons in?"

Hussein, who was on the side, opened his mouth and asked the key place,

A good player of their level, there is actually not much difference between having armor or not, ordinary armor doesn't even mean much to them, and the fighting spirit can directly swing the arrow, unless Thor can still influence the battle of this level with dragon scale armor.

But whether there is a weapon or not is a qualitative difference, it cannot be said that you can't fight without a weapon, at least for Hussein,

If you don't have the weapons you have in hand, your combat effectiveness will drop by at least half.

"When the time comes, your blades will go in with the lord's carriage, which is specially made to hide the blades, and the officers at the city gate will not scrutinize them."

"Well, make sure you're safe."

"Rest assured, Lord Hussein, for this operation, we have activated most of the important secrets buried by the Church in the royal capital,

This time, with the personal participation of His Majesty the Pope, the goddess of the rising sun will protect us, and there will be only success and no failure. ”

As he spoke, a hint of frenzy began to appear on the Marquis de Pagat's face.

At this moment, the Pope, who had been sitting upright with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"You afternoon, take a good rest tonight, and act early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although the Marquis of Pagat was still a little excited about tomorrow's actions, he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart under the Pope's order and withdrew from the courtyard.

The camp of the Praetorian Guard of the royal capital

All 5,000 men and horses of the First Banner Regiment were in the battalion

Of course, it is impossible for all the 200,000 Praetorian Guards to be stationed in the palace.

Most of them were scattered in several large camps around the royal capital,

The First Banner Regiment was temporarily stationed in the royal capital under the pretext of undertaking ceremonial tasks.

It's just strange that this army is not wearing ceremonial armor full of hollow patterns, but is all equipped with real iron armor.

There are not a few ceremonial swords, all of them are blades used on the battlefield,

Except for not carrying a large number of bows and crossbows, the posture of the entire army was more like going to war than acting as a façade.

As the first banner regiment of the Imperial Guard, it is not that it has not served in ceremonial tasks, and ordinary soldiers feel a little strange that the equipment has not been replaced.

But as strange as it is, it doesn't raise much doubt, and who knows what the big guys think, in case they want to get closer to a more real war.

The top level of the flag regiment was secretly ordered, and the entire camp was only allowed to enter and leave at this time, just wait for the order.

"Captain Qi, what is tomorrow's mission, why do I feel a little wrong?"

Although it was dark, several high-level members of the First Banner Regiment were still sitting together discussing something.

"Don't ask about this, get ready, and just act tomorrow."

"Yes."

Tonight is a sleepless night for the high-level executives who know about it or feel that something is wrong.

It's Richard, who is half the protagonist, with a smile, sleeping soundly, with a string of crystal liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth, as if he dreamed of something happy...
