Chapter 66: Charles Fugue ♴
Charles, dressed in silk costume, rode a snow-white horse through the streets of the city, in stark contrast to the linen civilians on the streets.
When he went out, Ohm told him to go to the palace and turn left and go all the way to the end.
Charles, who was barely ashamed of his equestrian skills, walked slowly down the street on a white horse, thinking of the luxurious house he had appeared, the beautiful maid who was waiting for him, and the breakfast that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Gradually, an idea came to him.
A "bang" sounded in front of the horse, and Charles immediately stopped the horse.
A white-haired old man dressed in shabby linen fell not far in front of Charles's horse, causing Charles to immediately look around for the camera.
The old man who fell to the ground lay motionless on the ground, and Charles also let the horse stop motionless on the road, for fear that as soon as he turned around, a traffic police would come to arrest him for the hit-and-run.
Both sides stood motionless for a few minutes, neither righteous people came out to take responsibility Charles rode the horse to hurt people, after all, the horse was still a meter or two away from the old man on the ground, and there were no kind-hearted people who came out to help the old man, everyone was watching from the sidelines, and no officers and soldiers came, and they did not appear until the routine was over.
There was a stalemate for another ten minutes, and the two sides remained motionless.
Fortunately, it is the morning of the warm season, and there is no incident of Charles being sunburned from heat stroke or the old man on the ground being burned by the ground.
Finally, a young man with a shabby but upright face walked out of the crowd.
"Hurry up and take him to the infirmary or the temple to see what's going on with him. Charles said to the young man.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Charles.
"Why are you still stunned, from now on, if he dies, it's all to blame for your untimely delivery to the hospital. Charles said.
The young man finally went over and picked up the old man, and then he said, "Then that's all about him being injured by you, can you be a nobleman and do whatever you want?"
"If you think he hurt me, go to court and sue me. Charles pointed his horsewhip at the young man and said, "If I didn't hurt him, I'll sue you for falsehood!"
"The law is not yet to protect your nobles. The young man said hatefully.
"If there is a problem with the law, it is also a problem with the law of your country, what does it matter to me?" Charles glanced at him, "If you don't accept it, you will rebel, and then you can make the law as you see fit." ”
As soon as Charles's words fell, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then ran away without a trace, for fear that they would be implicated in the "rebellion".
Even the young man with the old man on his back slipped away.
After saying "hehe" twice, Charles continued to ride his horse towards the palace.
The gate of the palace had been opened, and a middle-aged man in ceremonial light armor stood in the center of the gate.
Charles dismounted not far from the palace and walked towards the middle-aged man.
"It's Lord Charles McCaden. The middle-aged man asked Charles.
"It's me. Charles said to the middle-aged man wearing the marquis's coat of arms, "I have come to meet you at the Queen's summons." ”
The other party looked Charles up and down, and then introduced himself: "I am Hendrik Lorenz, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, please come with me, Her Majesty Queen Maxwell has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Charles followed Lorenz into the palace.
The two didn't say a word along the way, and walked straight towards the palace hall.
Walking into the main hall of the palace, Charles saw that a lot of nobles had gathered here, and the Praetorian Guards were also lined up on the walls of the main hall, as well as the pair of "Chogori Peaks" that attracted him the most.
[REDACTED] "Chogori Peak" on the throne Queen Maxwell stood up, and she looked from the side like an image of y=sinx,x∈[0,2π] function of a plane Cartesian coordinate system with the horizontal axis of the Y axis and the vertical axis of the X axis.
Charles made a courtesy to the king of the great cause of the Creator, "The Earl of Charles McCaden has come to meet the king at the summons of Queen Maxwell. ”
The Queen looked the thirty-year-old version of Charles up and down for a long time, and then said: "Your Excellency, my country is facing a great crisis, and I beg you to help in the sake of justice. If you resolve this calamity, I will reward you. ”
Charles, who already sees himself as the protagonist of an RPG, said to the Queen: "For the sake of justice, it is incumbent. May I ask you, Your Majesty, what is the calamity facing your country?"
The queen sighed, and then said worriedly: "A few months ago, the Kulen Basin, more than ten kilometers west of the royal capital, was suddenly attacked by a large number of demonic beasts, and the farms in the basin were almost slaughtered by demonic beasts, and a large number of our people were forced to leave their homes and be displaced. ”
"It is reported that this is because there is a huge unidentified demonic beast commanding a large number of demonic beasts to attack the entire basin. As long as you kill that demonic beast, the other demonic beasts will scatter and flee for their lives. ”
Charles thought for a moment and said, "Although I have the heart to solve problems for Her Majesty, I am alone, and I really can't do it." ”
Seeing that the other party began to negotiate terms with her, the queen did not care, and she said to Charles: "I will send Princess Fortt to assist you in this great work." ”
Charles only then noticed that there was a heroic blonde "Ma Wenji Feng" standing next to the throne, her face was beautiful, and her age was about 16 years old, compared to the queen who was standing in front of the throne on the side of the queen, who was noble, elegant and heroic, the princess was slightly immature, and only reached the level of sixty percent of the queen.
Then the queen waited for a while, but Charles did not react. When the queen realized that he had only glanced at the princess, her gaze turned back to herself.
Her Majesty then proceeded with the condition, "I will allow you to choose your companions from among the Praetorian Guards, as long as they agree." ”
Charles continued to be unresponsive, still admiring Her Majesty's beauty.
The queen gritted her teeth and decided to throw out all the conditions. She gestured to the people next to her, and someone carried three large wooden boxes into the main hall
"These three boxes of Ole, I'm sure they can help you. ”
"Futh will take you to the treasury of the kingdom and choose the right weapon for you. ”
Charles looked at the three boxes of gold coins in front of him, as well as the queen's promise to him just now, there are people who have money, it should be okay.
Then he asked the queen some small questions such as intelligence support, logistics procurement, and the employment of people, and the queen agreed to them one by one.
Seeing that he had got everything he needed, Charles eventually took on the task.
