Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 80 The Royal Palace

After Russell quietly joined the ranks of the church, Bishop Vain, who was suddenly riding at the front of the group, glanced back.

Seeing this, Russell nodded slightly at him, indicating that he had obtained the invisibility cloak.

Bishop Vane silently turned back and gave the order to the team: "Go!"

The whole team began to move slowly, heading towards the palace of the Heka Kingdom, which was located on the other side of Dina City.

Since Russell arrived in Dina City, this was the first time he had visited the palace of the Heka Kingdom.

In the past, when Russell only accompanied Buna into the city, he stood at the gate and had a glimpse of the magnificent palace complex from a distance, and did not have the opportunity to come up close to see the whole palace in its entirety.

Now, Russell followed the church to the entrance of the palace, and a strong wall was erected around the palace, and a large number of guards were guarded at the entrance to the wall.

However, the uniforms they wore were somewhat different from those of the guards guarding the city gates.

The lily coat of arms of these guards was tattooed on their collars and chests, symbolizing the royal family, and ordinary Kingdom guards had no right to wear the glory bestowed by the royal family.

Russell stared at the familiar lines and immediately recognized their identities.

The coat of arms in front of him was exactly the same as the rag pattern seen in Bishop Vane's office, and in that case, they must be the guards in charge of keeping the royal family safe.

Moreover, these guards were also dressed in fine iron armor, and even their mental outlook was completely different from that of ordinary guards.

Everyone was in good spirits and stood straight on both sides of the road, and the strict discipline of this army was on full display.

Because of today's important meeting, the guards here are particularly strong, almost a few steps away, and there are guards patrolling all corners of the neighborhood.

No wonder Bishop Vane arranged for himself to accompany him to the meeting, because it was only in the meeting place that Russell had more possibilities to infiltrate the Marquis de Red's office.

Russell didn't have time to pay attention to too many details, the number of people on the church side who attended the meeting this time was not too large, only a few high-ranking people of the church, along with a few of his own knights of the cathar, guarded their safety.

After all, the number of Wizards Guild missions this time was not large, and the purpose of their return to Dina City this time was only to question the reason for Francis's sudden disappearance.

When entering the palace, everyone except for the high-ranking church leaders had to be inspected by the guards, and this meeting was full of risks, and if something suddenly happened, the subsequent development of events would be irreversible.

Of course, the knights of the cathar had to hand over their weapons for the time being, and when they left the palace, they would return them to each other.

Therefore, Russell simply left Yingjie's legacy in his residence and did not bring it over.

Bishop Vane was tasked with infiltrating Marquis Red's office and searching for clues, so Russell hid only a dagger inside the cloak of invisibility just in case.

By this time, Bishop Vane and several bishop's assistants had already passed the inspection and slowly entered the meeting place, their noble status, and the guards only took a formality, and let the bishop and several people enter the building.

It's just that the few people left at the back of the team are all knights of the Knights of the Cathars, and in the face of these people, the guards don't dare to relax in the slightest.

Although the Guards are known as the royal shield, who in the kingdom of Heka does not know the prestige of the Guardian Knights.

Just joining the rigorous assessment of joining the Knights of the Cathar is not something that ordinary people can pass.

Moreover, the Knights of the Protector were all battle-hardened warriors, and their exploits spread to all parts of the world, which was not comparable to the glamorous Guards who had not actually experienced many battles.

At this time, the captain of the guard, who was in charge of checking the security, walked over, smiled at these knights and said, "Please also ask the knights to entrust your weapons to me, and after the meeting, the guards can guarantee that all the weapons of the knights will be returned to you intact!"

Earlier, before the party departed, Bishop Vane had instructed them to heed the Guard's pleas and not to be too troubled.

Therefore, the Guardian Knights did not hesitate too much, and directly put their weapons in the prescribed positions.

The Captain of the Guards gave Russell a strange look, it was rare for an aphar knight not to carry a weapon with him.

However, the commander of the Guards saw that Russell was dressed lightly and there was no place to hide his weapons on his body, so he ignored this strange situation.

"Knights, please enter the palace, there are special attendants in it to arrange for you to rest!"

Russell led the knights into the palace, and when Russell entered the palace, he found that the inside of the walls was the real appearance of the whole palace.

Outside the walls, Russell could only vaguely see the top of the palace peeking out of the wall, and could not get a full view of the building.

Today, it is a majestic and tall square building, supported by four huge round pillars carved with various reliefs symbolizing the exploits of the royal family of the Heka Kingdom.

The pale white surface of the building, although it looks a little plain, but the pilasters raised at all corners, which are hollowed out in the center, indicate that the diplomatic building must have been built by skilled craftsmen and at great expense.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the palaces of the Heka Kingdom, as there are many royal palaces and gardens in the distance, where the decorations and architecture are even more ornate and almost all of them can be considered a small city.

Russell only marveled for a moment, and then retracted his thoughts, now is not the time to enjoy the beauty of the palace, and it will not be long before he has a difficult task to complete, which is the most important thing now.

Then, led by their attendants, the knights entered the heavily guarded diplomatic building.

The interior of the building is very spacious, and the meeting place is set up in the conference hall on the first floor, but this meeting involves secrecy, and the knights of the cathars, who protect the safety of the bishop, can only stay outside the conference hall, so they cannot enter the hall at will.

This is exactly what Russell wants, as long as this meeting starts, Russell can take advantage of this to sneak into the office of Marquis of Red!

At this moment, there was a commotion from outside the building, and all the attendants who were standing in place were busy.

Russell looked back and saw a group of strangers dressed in various colored robes with serious expressions striding into the building.

Russell's heart suddenly tensed, this group of people is very dangerous, even if Russell is still some distance away from them, but Russell can still sense a trace of danger from them.

If Russell is not mistaken, this group must be an envoy of the Wizards' Guild!
