Chapter 503: Two or Three Things About the Female Marshal

In the church square outside the royal capital, there is a group of urban sculptures that have just been opened, and the sculptures are about the heroes who died in the Longji Mountains two months ago.

In order to stabilize people's hearts and strengthen the cohesion of the goddess's faith, the Huiyao Sect described the incident in the Dragonspine Mountains as a miracle, and in order to make this miracle have a stronger public opinion push, the priests and soldiers who died or disappeared in the "Holy One-Day War" were listed as martyred saints and publicized it, including of course, the patriarch of Gerton who turned himself into a divine power, and a group of northern mercenaries who shone in the incident, Hao Ren, and a group of them were very active in organizing the evacuation. Especially when Lily's big guy appeared, I really wanted people not to know, and the people who escaped from the Beinz area remembered this group of "mercenaries", so the upper echelons of the church discussed it after learning about the situation from Ovra, and decided to make a martyr a martyr......

So Hao Ren followed the carriage window and saw a group statue standing in the square outside, on which Gerton and he were fighting the tentacle monster......

However, the person who designed the sculpture also seems to have taken into account the particularity of Hao Ren and his few, and the characters on it have been somewhat modified, except for Gerton and a few archbishops who are lifelike, Hao Ren and several of them have been changed, and they are basically beautiful and not like themselves.

I said...... Can't you get my consent to do this? Hao Ren looked at Ovra with a smile, "Even if you forget about the sculpture, why do you have to have a name for a glorious death?" ”

"I built it," Ovra explained with a smile, "do you want to be haunted as a well-known hero?" ”

Hao Ren: "Uh......"

"It doesn't matter who it is. Anyone who can come back alive from that 'holy war' will inevitably be in the spotlight, and the image of you leading the refugees to fight their way through the tentacles of the evil gods has become widely known. If the official news says you're still alive, do you know how many people are looking for you? Ofrah smiled and shook her head, "And at that time, you 'ascended', where can the church find a few people to show your face in your place?" So I can only say that you died in honor. ”

Nangong May stuck out her tongue: "That's the truth...... But it sounds weird. ”

Hao Ren waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't have any opinion when I say this." And to be honest, this is not the first time, Erim Elf got me a sculpture that is ruthless, it looks like he is about to block the gun's eye, you at least leave me a standing position......"

Although it felt a little subtle to know that he was being advertised as a dead man, Ovrah's explanation made Hao Ren deeply convinced. He's here to get things done, and avoiding trouble is the number one priority. But Becky was a little frustrated: this girl was very realistic. Her biggest wish in this life is two, one to get rich and the other to become famous, and now the Holy See is indeed famous to promote her as a martyr, but the problem is that she is "dead" - even the opportunity to go to the tavern to find someone to scream, what is the point of not being able to enjoy the fame? So Betsy discussed with Ovra with a shy face: "Lord Ofrah, I would like to discuss something with you...... You ask the Pope to change his tune, and say that the legendary mercenary Betsy came back alive from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, but in fact, he didn't die ......"

Ophora looked at Betsy with a puzzled expression: "What's the point of this?" ”

Betsy slapped her thigh: "Do you know how cool it is to brag in the first person!" ”

Hao Ren pushed Betsy hard: "Just say it, what are you doing with my leg?" ”

"Oh. Sitting too close and taking a wrong shot - I said, why don't you feel it. ”

Ovra stared blankly at the group of saviors in front of her, who had lived for hundreds of years, and had seen all kinds of great people, and the relics of heroes and tyrants could hang a wall in her trophy pantry. But she's never seen anything like it. But after being stunned for a while, she smiled comfortably: "Okay, I'll go and discuss with the Pope and the King." You're so interesting. ”

"Don't bother, this guy is a bit crazy. This time he calmed down, "Hao Ren hurriedly persuaded. "Your ...... of all things this day"

"No trouble," Opra said with a smile as she looked at Betsy. The momentum of the whole person seemed to change suddenly, from the previous steely and stern state to become very close all of a sudden, "Really, you guys are so interestingβ€”I remember when I was an adventurer hundreds of years ago, and it seems that I am similar to this girl." Ha, after so many years, I seem to have forgotten the stinky problems of mercenaries and adventurers with a strained face all day long, and now I can recall it. ”

At this time, the carriage suddenly shook, and Hao Ren noticed that the noise from the street outside was far away, and it was obvious that the carriage had come to a more secluded place. After a while, the coachman in front gently knocked on the partition of the carriage: "My lord, it's here." ”

Hao Ren and his entourage pushed the door and got out of the car and found that the car was parked in front of a large villa. A considerable area around it was quiet, and there were many high-end dwellings of the same size, with curtains embroidered with family crest on the side walls of each house, apparently belonging to a large and illustrious family. There is no doubt that this is the aristocratic district of the royal capital, and it is the domain of the great nobility: the ability to hang the family crest on the outer wall in huge silk is a privilege only granted to the old nobles who have royal blood or have been hereditary for more than six generations.

High-ranking nobles have their own estates in various places, and even castle realms, and the places where their families live are basically outside the royal capital, but the royal family of Holletta has a rule that the current heads of these nobles and the heirs of the next generation must live in the aristocratic districts of the royal capital for a period of time every year, these noble districts are luxurious and high-end and close to the royal palace, on the surface it is an honor to live here, but in fact this is a kind of monitoring and deterrence of the royal family to the nobles- Several large-scale rebellions and repressions since the founding of Horleta have contributed to the establishment and consolidation of this system.

The only exception to the exception is Ofrah, who lives here: there is no nobleman in the entire kingdom who is older and more prestigious, and her status in Holletta has gone beyond the concept of "nobility" to almost a symbol. There is no need for the royal family to monitor this veteran who has almost single-handedly created the current situation, and in fact, there is no way to monitor it: from the king and the pope to the princes and ministers, who has not been beaten by Ovra since he was a child......

The only reason Ofra lives here is because it's close to the palace and easy to get to work.

Of course, Hao Ren didn't know these intriguing details, he just thought that the houses in this place were quite magnificent: better than his own house anyway......

A servant stepped forward to greet him, and Ophra nodded to one of the middle-aged men who looked like a butler: "These are my honored guests, prepare the best guest room for them to rest." In addition, he arranged for Posham to go to the cathedral and tell Cardinal John that the foreign guests had come to visit, and that the two adults should prepare the banquet they had booked. ”

Hao Ren followed Ofhra into the marshal's residence, an opulent building typical of the upper floors of Holletta, with an expansive vestibule garden and a stone path that stretched from the main building to the main entrance, and a long rain-sheltered corridor from the stone pavement. On both sides of the corridor, you can see the well-groomed flower beds, but the flower patterns in the flower beds are very simple, except for a simple lilac flower.

"I heard that Lord Obrah likes the Purple Cross Star Flower the most," Betsy never thought that she would one day actually walk down the corridor of Obla's mansion, and at this time, every step was taken with a pilgrimage expression, muttering as she walked, "It turns out to be true." ”

"The Purple Cross is the best flower in the world," Ophra laughs, "hardy, drought-resistant, not afraid of wind and rain, and unless someone cuts it off, it blooms punctually for thirty full days every year, like a soldier." What's more, this flower is not only edible, but also pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory, and hundreds of years ago mercenaries and adventurers regarded it as a lucky flower, this thing grows in the wilderness and near ruins, and I don't know how many lives have been saved. ”

The servant stepped forward and pushed open the door, and Ophra led the group into the hall on the first floor of the villa: "Feel free to sit down, I will have refreshments prepared, but don't eat too much, it is not common to go to the king and the pope for dinner." ”

Hao Ren looked curiously at the magnificent but not luxurious furnishings in the hall, and suddenly saw a row of portraits hanging on the wall not far away: "Who are they?" ”

"The kings of Horletta," Ofra painted Nunuzui, "from Gatun III to the father of the current king." ”

Hearing the name "Gatun III", Betsy suddenly realized that she finally had a chance to solve a mystery that had been tangled in the mercenary gossip circle for a long time, and the truth of the story that had been talked about by countless playwrights and single mercenaries was laid out in front of her, and the person concerned stood in front of her!

Betsy's eyes lit up: "Lord Oprah! How did you and Prince Gatun meet? Why did you promise to help him defend the kingdom for more than 400 years? ”

Ofra was silent for a moment, and her face suddenly softened: "Because of Holletta's high salary, ......" (to be continued......)
