Chapter 623: Sorry, no
On the streets, there are crowds of people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Half of the shops on Queen's Road are open and the remaining half are being restored.
Although they did not need to be repaired and barely opened, the scholars decided to rebuild the dilapidated houses with cracks in the load-bearing walls and foundations.
The heaviest work can be left to the variation musicians, and most of the problems can be solved with a single recast. The rest of the finishing touches can be left to the workers.
So, the scaffolding was densely erected, and the lime and dust fell from the heights, as if seeping into the blazing afternoon sun.
It's starting to get hot.
But the messenger in gray clothes still shrouded his whole body in his uniform, revealing only his hands and face, as if he couldn't feel the temperature, and his face was still serious.
The carriage stopped outside the Royal Academy of Music, and after passing through that gate, only the royal family was allowed to walk.
This is a rule left over from the previous principal.
The new principal who had just taken office clearly had no intention of changing it, but instead ordered it to be maintained and strictly enforced.
The messengers who led the way were members of the former Fifth Division, and in the old days, these elite members who excelled in assassination and special operations were known as organists. And after the new head took office, they received a new badge, and because of the golden beast on the badge, they were called 'royal hounds'.
"According to the official diplomatic regulations, the diplomats of the Holy City need to send an announcement to our diplomatic department three days in advance, and after our confirmation is confirmed, we will agree on a time to formally hold the talks.
However, since you submitted your application a day in advance, this informal private meeting can only be arranged for you at the Royal Academy of Music, and I hope that the Order will abide by the etiquette of diplomacy between the two sides, and that this kind of oolong will not occur again. ”
The man who called himself 'Richard' led the way, while holding a notebook full of precautions in his hand, emphasizing to them the important things:
"Your Highness's schedule is urgent, and you only have half an hour. Be straightforward and don't beat around the bush, Your Highness hates people wasting time. ”
"During the talks, His Highness will not express his views on state affairs and diplomacy between the two sides, nor will he interfere in the official relations between our country and Al-Quds. ”
"In order to ensure the safety of both parties, please do not bring iron tools, and if you want to take out alchemy equipment, please take it out, and we will keep it on your behalf. ”
......
"As for etiquette, His Highness doesn't care about this, and he doesn't receive him as an official Anglo. The two sides will hold talks as members of the Order, and it is sufficient to perform religious rites. ”
After passing through the plaza and corridors, over the shade and lawn, there was a roar in the distance, a loud sound of mechanical ramming earth and pounding foundations.
Richard's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he looked at the silent Raymond behind him and Norman, whose face became more and more nervous: "It's here, Your Highness is waiting for you in front."
I'll be here in half an hour. ”
Raymond just bowed slightly:
"There is labor. ”
As we move forward, the loud roar becomes clearer and clearer.
On the flat land, large construction machinery is roaring, and this is a large construction site.
The original wall at the rear has been demolished, and the academy extends outwards to encompass most of the royal gardens. The rockery was shoveled, the lake was filled in, and the greenery was gone. The dust of the loess wafted in the air, and everyone wore masks. Workers with naked bodies carried building materials and expanded the academy under the direction of the engineer.
The foundations of several buildings have already been laid.
However, the new building is different from the classical style of the college, maximizing the use of any area, and the whole outline is square.
Compared with other buildings, it is simply too utilitarian, and any architect with artistic cells will frown when he sees it.
Then Norman saw the hand of God who had a 'one-sided relationship' yesterday. But it was completely different from what he expected.
It's not majestic, it's not indifferent, it's not even serious, it's ...... Bullying people with disabilities?
From afar, he could be seen pointing at the young man in the wheelchair and scolding.
-
"All dead?"
The white-haired young man jumped to his feet in anger: "I'll just tell you to clean up, why did you kill all of them for me? Anyway, more than 200 people! All of them had myocardial infarctions? You lied to the ghost!"
"Calm down, it's all the ministers of the seals, why are you still yelling. ”
The man in the wheelchair casually picked his ears and blew his nails lightly: "If you want to blame it, it's also because you didn't say it clearly, okay? You left it to me to clean up, what else can I do? Keep it for next year's winter twilight? How can eating, drinking, and Lazar also be a lot of money." ”
"It can't all be myocardial infarction!"
The white-haired young man glared, "Can't you bother to find some other excuses?"
"I'm not a forensic doctor, do I have to buy a dictionary and come back to find out the cause of death?"
The man in the wheelchair 'cut', "Anyway, my mouth has been pried open, and all the information that should be given to you has been given." It also made you recover a large amount of state-owned assets, how good is it? Kill 200 of them, and the rest are so obedient. Now in the House of Lords, there are a group of people praising your farts for your fart, don't you feel happy?"
"And what about my reputation? It's already stinky to the gutter, and you're still pouring dirty water on me?"
"Hey, it's like you're having a better reputation. ”
The man in the wheelchair pouted, looked back, looked at the two Sect members who were walking in the distance, and retracted his gaze: "Okay, don't talk about it." Anyway, I'm not the one who is behind the blame? I'll flash first, you're in trouble here. ”
The new principal waved helplessly.
The man in the wheelchair pushed the wheels at his hand and walked away slowly, passing by Norman with his iron-gray eyes. With a hint of playful smile, those eyes seemed to skim over, which made people feel a little hairy.
But soon, that feeling disappeared again.
It's like a hallucination.
Norman took a deep breath and looked up ahead.
The young man who greeted him with a smile.
Either way, it was difficult to associate this seemingly unshady young man with his terrifying reputation.
The youngest ever dean of the Royal Academy of Music, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, the powerful man who killed Leviathan and the Lord of the Darkness with his own hands.
The Sword Bearer of Anglo, Prince of Avalon, Lord of the Seals, Protector of the Nation, Shadow Emperor, Marquis of the Dragon Vein, Lord of the Ye Family, Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, Guardian of Justice and Justice, Bearer of Authority, Hand of God...... Each title comes from a near-miraculous achievement.
In addition to this, it is also recognized as the most outstanding genius of hundreds of years ago, the youngest master, and the strongest.
If you don't take into account the elements, creating legends and achieving scepters is just a matter of hand.
And just in contemplation, Ye Qingxuan was already close at hand.
Norman had come so close to him for the first time, but all he could see was dust and sweat on his face.
"Sorry to meet in such a chaotic place. ”
Ye Qingxuan grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean, "It's a little light, please don't care." ”
"Your Excellency is busy with school affairs, and it is only us who are abrupt. ”
With a warm smile, Raymond shook hands with him, "With your guidance, the Royal Academy of Music will definitely be able to achieve greater glory." ”
Ye Qingxuan shrugged: "Being driven out of the duck and being the headmaster, to be honest, I don't have much experience."
At present, there is a shortage of musicians in various places, and the annual graduates of the Royal Academy of Music have no way to fill the gap, so they can only build new branches and expand the staff.
I only hope that after the establishment of the foreign school, the situation will be alleviated in the future. ”
Norman couldn't help but pout, disapproving.
For hundreds of years, there has been no shortage of musicians in the world.
But the most critical reason is that there are too few people with musician qualifications, and they are destined to be born and can only be promoted by increasing the population. If building a few more classrooms would solve the problem, countries would have forced the construction of academies in every town a long time ago.
Raymond looked back and looked at him with a serious look in his eyes, which made him quickly put away his contemptuous attitude.
Sensing his expression, Ye Qingxuan didn't care, just smiled, no longer polite, and asked directly: "Bishop Raymond, there must be an important reason why you want to see me so urgently.
I still hold the false title of archbishop in the Order, and I will not refuse to help if I can. ”
Raymond was silent for a moment, and bowed slightly: "Since Your Excellency is so honest, then we won't pretend to be a matter of course." To tell you the truth, the two of us are on a mission to the Holy City, and we hope that you can cooperate. ”
Ye Qingxuan listened, just nodded, as if he didn't have any awareness or thoughts, just asked:
"And then?"
Raymond raised his old pupils and looked at him, his expression becoming serious: "We are here on behalf of the Sacramental Department and the Holy Depository, hoping that Your Excellency will return Master Haydn's inheritance to the Holy City. ”
"It's easy to do. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Haydn is a respectable elder, treat me like a personal disciple, and I can't sit back and watch the master's inheritance be cut off."
Later, I will have a copy of Maestro Haydn's movement and core music theory to be taken back to the Holy City, so that Mr. Haydn's music theory can be passed on for a long time. ”
Raymond was silent.
Behind him, Norman couldn't help but frown.
"You know what I'm referring to, Your Excellency. ”
Raymond said in a solemn voice, "We hope that you will think about the big picture and return the Book of Genesis to the Holy City." ”
Ye Qingxuan smiled, shook his head, and replied without thinking:
"Sorry, no. ”
“......”
In a long silence, Raymond and the smiling young man looked at each other.
Without hesitation, after categorically rejecting the Holy City's request, this guy did not have any weakness in his heart, nor did he avoid his gaze, but put on a frank posture and let them look at him.
Norman also stood nervously behind Raymond.
The worst happened--Ye Qingxuan refused to hand over the inheritance of the Book of Genesis, and was not even willing to listen to any conditions.
After a long time, Raymond spoke: "You should know, Your Excellency, that the Book of Genesis is of great significance to the Holy City, and it is impossible to let it go unpunished. ”
"I understand. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded: "But isn't the inheritance of Saint Tchaikovsky still in exile? As far as I know, it has even fallen into the hands of the revolutionary army."
And didn't the Holy City say that it would make sure that every nation had a saint in its place?
Rest assured, Anglo will properly inherit this holy name to protect the kingdom and ensure the stability of the seven seas in the north, isn't this also the duty of Saint Haydn?"
"But that's not in accordance with the rules. ”
"What's not in order?"
Ye Qingxuan asked rhetorically: "I have crusaded against the natural calamity Leviathan for the Holy City and rebuilt the Inquisition, am I not qualified to accept a copy of the saint's inheritance?"
"This is something that only the Red King can decide. ”
"Then, please give me the order of the Red King. ”
Ye Qingxuan stretched out his hand and looked at Raymond's stiff expression.
