On the day Gray arrived in the Lion King's capital, it was snowing and white, and the whole city was immersed in white.

Nothing can stop the enthusiasm for paladins, though.

The teammates were stunned.

The melodious bells of the church spread to every corner of the Lion King's Capital.

In snowy weather, there were more people on the streets than usual. That scene, really......

Welcoming residents lined the streets, welcoming them.

Large numbers of soldiers had to be mobilized to maintain order.

Whether it is a girl, an old man, or a child, they are all cheering for Gray. Countless hands stretched out towards Gray, crowding and shoving, exhausting the soldiers who maintained order. On the contrary, Irene, who was supposed to be the protagonist, was left out in the cold. Of course, Ireen didn't mind.

What's more, there are people scattering flowers on the rooftops along the way.

It's scary.

It's winter and it's still snowing. This means that these flowers are harvested in spring and summer and preserved as dried flowers until now. This treatment is generally only available when the king himself is victorious.

Looking at the petals falling from his palm, Count Grugrew was stunned.

"How much does it cost?"

"Shouldn't it be spontaneous to the residents?" asked Paz.

"Who would have nothing to do with hoarding a bunch of petals at home? The petals of the lion king's capital are all hoarded by merchants, and the main customer is the royal family. In my early years, I invested a little money and did this kind of business. Although it is profitable, most of the years are losses. With that, Count Grugru threw away the petals in his hand, accelerated slightly, and caught up with Irene's horse.

"The royal family?" Paz was stunned for a moment.

Coming to Irene's side, Count Grugru lowered his voice and said, "I thought the royal family was going to cause us trouble, after all, we just pulled the king off his horse. But now it seems to be the opposite. But be careful. I think this invitation is definitely not as simple as canonization. The new king must have some other intentions, and you must be aware of it. It's best to discuss everything with me. ”

"Got it, Uncle Gruglu. Irene whispered.

Gray, who was at the forefront, was already dizzying.

After the White City, the Lion King became the largest city Gray had ever visited. Of course, Bai Cheng definitely can't be compared to the Lion King. It is said that the population is ten times worse, and the size is naturally ten times worse.

The roads here are wider than those of the White City, the floors are higher, the buildings are older, and the sculptures are more elaborate. Even people's clothes seem to be more colorful and gorgeous.

"Be careful, the opponent could be anyone. Catherine reminded Gray in her ear.

"People?"

"Yes, people. According to the contract, neither angels nor demons can intervene directly in the affairs of human beings. In fact, not only humans, but also elves, dwarves, and orcs are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of our affairs. So, if the other party wants to make a move on you, then it must be through the magic messenger. The Emissary is a human. You won't feel any darkness in him, because he doesn't have any magic in his own right. ”

"I see!" Gray nodded heavily, raising his watch.

At the end of the long street is the Lion King's Palace. It was a large-scale, blue-and-white palace. Yes, palaces, not castles. Even the exterior walls are palaces made up of four-storey buildings. The rows of windows and columns looked from afar like the neat scales of a soldier's body. In the middle is a majestic and imposing white gate, staircase. Through the towering gatehouse, you can also see the towering spire inside.

The entire Lion King's Palace really looks like a lion in the Lion King's capital. Except for this behemoth, everything else is sheep.

As a royal family, the Sharp family, the strength gap between the Sharp family and the Belsil family is obviously greater than what can be seen from the strength of the army.

In the distance, they could already see the greeting procession lined up at the entrance of the Lion King's Palace.

Irene and Gray froze almost at the same time, for different reasons, of course.

Irene froze because of this specification...... This is simply not something that a duke can enjoy.

At a glance, she saw the king standing in the center.

Tall figure, bright red fur-collared cape with white spots, white gold-trimmed undershirt, black pointed boots with spurs. Even if she didn't wear a crown, Irene could instantly recognize the unique attire of the king of Isaac's kingdom. Not to mention that he also has curly blond hair that bears a striking resemblance to that of Baird VI.

There is also a characteristic goatee, in his forties. Undoubtedly, this is Benedict II - Benedict. Sharp up.

Standing to the left of the king, dressed in a white robe and a gold-trimmed top hat, was the Bishop Anthony III, whom Ireen and Gray had met during the Battle of the White City.

On the right-hand side, the woman in her thirties, dressed in the same cloak as the king, and looking extremely dignified, is undoubtedly the new queen of the country.

Behind these three men was a large group of richly dressed aristocrats.

Further out, lined up on the right are majestic knights wearing heavy armor and leading horses. Such knights, at least all barons, have their own fiefdoms, their own estates. Here, however, they are just backdrops.

On the left, there is a large area of white robes and a large number of people from the Holy See.

There were hundreds of flags flying in the wind. This means that hundreds of families have sent messengers to meet them here......

The king, bishop, and queen greeted the ...... at the same time This battle, Irene couldn't imagine it. Probably only when the Pope comes. Although the Pope has not been to the kingdom of Isaac for hundreds of years. The last time I came, it was because the Kingdom of Isaac and the Kingdom of Allen next door had a violent quarrel, and the Holy See had to intervene.

At this scene, Ireen was stunned.

Gray was also stunned, but he had just never seen such a grand scene. I don't know the meaning behind this scene.

"Irene ......" Count Grugru couldn't help but sigh in a whisper beside Irene "I suspect that the nobles of the entire Lion King Capital are here. No, maybe even the surrounding ones. I've never seen a welcome ceremony of this size. ”

Irene said dumbfoundedly, "I haven't seen it either." ”

"Could it be that what they were going to use for Baird VI's triumph didn't work, and just happened to be used for us?" asked Gray in a whisper.

Irene couldn't help but give him a blank look.

The team continued to move slowly.

The cheers of the people were in their ears, the petals of flowers fluttering overhead, the hands outstretched towards them, and the soldiers desperately trying to stop the people.

When I walked out of the street to the main square in front of the Lion King's Palace, the snow stopped. The sky seemed to open up in an instant, and the sun shone down on Irene and Gray, as well as the rest of the group.

The horn sounded, and a large field of white doves flew into the sky.

King Benedict II opened his arms, smiled, and walked down the steps towards them. The bishops, queens, and nobles followed.

The teammates, including Gray and Irene, quickly dismounted, and then fell to their knees.

"Duke of Beshir, Irene. Bebela. Besil and his men meet His Majesty the King!"

"Get up, all of you!" said the king kindly, "not yet the king, but in a few days before he is canonized." You see, I don't have a crown, and the Bishop hasn't given it to me yet. Hahahaha. ”

So saying, the king looked over to the bishop. The bishop smiled approvingly.

Turning his face sideways, the king's gaze fell on Gray, and said, "This one, it must be the paladin Count Gray, right?"

Irene said softly, "In fact, Gray has already given himself the surname Grugru, so he should be called Count Grugrew now." He is the second Count of Gruglu in our Duchy of Beshir. ”

"Oh, is it?" said the king, meaningfully, "but, with two Counts of Grugru, will you not easily be confused? Moreover, the name Gray is much better than the awkward surname of Gruglu. Of course, I'm just talking about it. Count Gruglu won't mind, will he?"

When he said this, the dynasty was looking to Earl Grugru and Shelley, who were walking behind.

"Of course, Gray is a really good name. Count Grugrew said with a smile.

"Well, yes, it seems that old Count Grugru has the same aesthetic as me. Smiling, the king had already turned sideways to invite Irene to go back, and deliberately smiled back at Gray.

The nobles behind them quickly moved out of the way.

As soon as the king turned around, the faces of Earl Grugrew and Shelley, who were standing behind, were a little unpleasant.

Gray whispered, "Is my name that good?"

"Stupid, he's expressing his displeasure with your engagement to Shelley. The black cat whispered.

"Why? My engagement to Shelley is our own business. Why should he be dissatisfied?"

"How do I know that? Anyway, the attitude couldn't be more obvious. I think the new king is trying to do something. ”

"Is he the Devil's Messenger? Why don't I take him down now?"

"Ahem!" Before Gray could act, Catherine quickly coughed twice and said, "Gray, the messenger must be a bad person, but a bad person is not necessarily a messenger." In addition to the envoys, there are many, many bad people in this world. In fact, most bad people don't need the devil to tempt them, and that's where we get the most headache. Also, from now on you have to learn to recognize the identity of the other person. ”

"Why?"

"Because you are a paladin, your actions represent the attitude of the Holy See. Catherine said helplessly: "If you have just taken any rude actions against the king, then the people of the whole country will guess the intentions of the Holy See." This, in turn, can lead to incalculable consequences. Not just for the king, but for the duke, for the count, for everyone, you have to be careful. Even if the other party is really a magic envoy, you can't take action without evidence. After all, this is not the White City, and the people here are not familiar with you. ”

"Oh, I see. Gray had to shrink back.

The black cat slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. With Catherine here, at least she can control Gray. If it's the only one, at this time, there may be a big problem.

Standing on the high platform, the king turned around, took Irene's wrist in one hand and Gray's wrist in the other, and said in a loud voice, "My subjects, we are here today to welcome our heroes. My father, Baird VI, was once a wise monarch, however, in his old age, he was unfortunately bewitched by the dark Ones. Doing things that are contrary to chivalry, against religious rules, and against morality. This makes me very sad. ”

"Fortunately, at the most critical moment, our hero appeared. Our Duke of Beshir, and our paladin, Lord Grey, were the ones who stopped my father in time, saved the country, contained the dark forces, and prevented each of us from sinking in the darkness. Allow me, on behalf of everyone in Isaac's Kingdom, to thank them!"

As he spoke, the king held up Irene and Gray's hands.

In an instant, the people gathered in the square cheered, and the sound was like an explosion, resounding throughout the entire Lion King Capital.

"Gray, Gray, Gray, Gray!"

Yes, only Gray.

The King smiled awkwardly and nodded at Irene and Gray, respectively.

The black cat lying on Gray's belly whispered: "I thought he was just ignoring his previous suspicions, but I didn't expect him to recognize his father's mistakes so thoroughly." That sounds ...... It's even more wrong!"
