Chapter 47: The Beginning of Change
The next day, the thirtieth day of the harvest month.
The last day of the month –
When the rising sun of a new day rises from the end of the east, the warm sunlight drives away the darkness of the previous night, illuminates the snowy city in the north of the Golden Wing Empire, and awakens the guards in the city to open their eyes one after another, get up and change into a standard equipment, bring a sword and a halberd and start patrolling.
The bell tower in the city sounded the signal for work, the citizens and workers gradually took to the streets, the shopkeepers were planning to open their doors for the next month's rent, and several paladin guards of the Cathedral of St. Antonios came out of the main entrance of the cathedral in two columns, ready to greet the visiting attendees today, as the old priest McCarron had instructed yesterday.
They all already knew about the church council that the cardinal priest Sirudelt had advocated for the meeting.
In the same way, the streets and alleys of the City of Helmet are not destined to be quiet today.
As the first sound of horses' hooves from the castle broke through the peace near the castle gates, the citizens of Helmet City told the word that many soon learned that Lady Alice and the Governor of Scambed were going to the cathedral early in the morning to attend to a very important business.
The townspeople were divided in their opinions as to what it was, and there was no unanimous conclusion, but almost all knew of the arrival of the cardinal priest of Sirudelt, and when they heard that the cardinal of the Church was going to meet in the cathedral, the idlers spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, and watched with great talk as the private guards who came out of the castle escorted the noble officials in the direction of the city where the cathedral was located.
The noble officials of the Northland court this time naturally included Alice and Scambed.
Alice and Scambed sat in two carriages, the latter at the front of the line of the private guards, and the former in the middle, with several horseback guards on either side of the wheels, and anyone present could tell that the man in the car must be the most extraordinary in the group.
Not to mention the most extraordinary status, as Kevin Stun's current de jure heir, Alice's identity is indeed extremely special in the Northland Earldom.
She sat in the carriage of the carriage, lifted the fingers of her left arm and lifted the baffle slightly, glancing sideways at the street view outside the window.
Thea, as her attendant on this trip, sat with her in the carriage of the carriage, the seat facing her, but she seemed a little nervous, and since she had changed into a delicately decorated court dress and sat in the carriage, she had been putting her hands together on her laps, wearing a knitted cotton hat covering two fluffy white wolf ears, and her amber eyes were in her sockets as if she didn't know where to look.
After waiting for a while, the silver-haired priest girl probably couldn't help but worry, then pinched her fingers, looked up at Alice across the seat and asked softly, "Lady Alice......"
"What's wrong?"
"I ...... Urs and I, just go to church with you, is it really okay? ”
"No problem, because you are now not a priest of Thea, who has been slandered as a traitorous criminal, but my lady-in-waiting." Alice looked back from the car window, her face calm, "Again, the role of Knight of Urs is my bodyguard, isn't it?" ”
"Hmm... You're right, ma'am. Thea pursed her lips and nodded, knowing that Alice had indeed planned this morning's itinerary last night.
In today's church meeting, she and Urs will disguise themselves as different characters, playing the roles of maids and guards who follow Alice's side, respectively, in case there is an unseen conspiracy that threatens the personal safety of those involved during the meeting.
Urs was now holding the reins and riding on a war horse outside the carriage window.
Because of the need for cross-dressing in this escort mission, and as a reward for a night of action on Hyena Street, the young man finally changed into the metal full-body armor he had always dreamed of in his preparations for today's trip.
That set of metal full-body armor adopts the most common design style in the Imperial Standing Army, the outermost armor and the closed helmet reflect the bright silver luster all over the surface of the body, and several joints have been adjusted to facilitate movement.
What's more, Urs can clearly feel that this suit of armor fits his body type very well.
A full-body armor of unconventional size, perfect for the size of a large man......
Who pre-ordered it for themselves in the past?
You know, high-quality full-body armor is not something that ordinary adventurers or mercenaries can easily possess. It has to be custom-made, and the money is given to a craftsman whose craftsmanship and character you trust, and the other party is required to spend time and time to cast it according to your physical characteristics, especially for some noble knights who have special needs for this.
The young man rode on the horse for a moment, suddenly realized this detail, and suddenly recalled all kinds of memories of his past life, and secretly said in his heart Could it be that person?
Kevin Stun ......
Paladin lord of the Northland Earldom.
But he had already been killed, and if Alice hadn't deceived herself, she would have died in a very strange way, but one night on her way back to the territory she was accidentally killed in a landslide, after which the red-clothed priest Sirudelt took time to visit the Cathedral of San Antonios and demanded that the title of lord of the Northland County be taken back on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.
Thinking about it for a while, he believed that Alice and Scambed must have also thought that if there was no one behind the scenes, then the hearts of the imperial nobles would really be called ice and jade.
But who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Duke Regent Frommael Ducatlet?
Just him? Or is it a group of aristocratic interests with him at its core?
Or is there someone else who took advantage of the reputation of Lord Regent to plan all this while passing on the suspicion?
"Damn, the Earl of the Northland has been killed, and the red-clothed priest has come to take back the title of lord...... This plot is an event that I have not experienced in my memory, as if it had changed the world line. The expression on his face was hidden in the knight's helmet, which only showed a peep slit in his eye, and the young man gritted his teeth and took a breath, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the experience advantage of his previous life was now under his eyes, but it seemed to be becoming more and more unreliable.
The butterfly flapped its wings......
Yes, he remembered, the Grey Court Sage Yustina had warned himself in the Grey Courtyard - and he himself had understood this truth from the beginning, that a breeze with the flapping of a butterfly's wings could cause a storm on the distant side.
Is that flapping butterfly me?
Urs speculated in his heart, but naturally he didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to think too highly of himself.
He had a hunch, or hunch, that this meeting of the Basilica of San Antonios would be the beginning of a change that might affect the Northland War, which was really at stake. ()
