Chapter 63: The Queen's Daughter in a Cage I
"Going now?" Ling Tian looked at Sistina who was elegantly holding morning tea with some surprise. "Well, there's still something to do. Nodding, Sistina still maintained that cold look, "Well, have you advanced?" Sistina said with some surprise.
Thinking of this speechless promotion, Ling Tian suddenly felt a burst of weakness, "Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on, it's just that I slept on the grass last night, and accidentally fell into the pool in the morning, so I was so inexplicably promoted" nodded, Sistina didn't say anything.
Airis on the side was secretly snickering, Ling Tian couldn't figure out why he woke up in the water, but Airis knew this very well, don't forget that she was the 'murderer'!
"Sister, are you going out in a while?" Currotia, who was yawning in her wide pajamas, walked down the stairs lazily, and when she just woke up, she clearly heard the conversation between Sistina and Ling Tian. "Good morning, Kurotia. Sistina and I are going to go to the palace first, do you want to go together?"
"Ah~ Forget it, I might as well go sleep for a while if I have this time. Stretching again, Currodia rubbed her eyes and walked to the dining table, "Okay, but remember not to sleep, the palace will meet at six o'clock in the afternoon." Ling Tian reminded again. Kurotia nodded indifferently, not knowing if she had listened to Ling Tian's words.
......
"Is this the palace, it's really extravagant enough" Ling Tian sighed while also saying the words that were most in line with the palace in front of him. The palace as a whole is golden, and the walls are inlaid with various spars, which actually have magical powers, and are usually responsible for the vigilance and lighting of the palace, and even display ...... But at some critical moments, the palace can become an impenetrable fortress in an instant.
"Does Ling Tian remember what I ordered?" As she was about to enter the royal city, Sistina suddenly said to Ling Tian on the side. Thinking carefully about Sistina's advice on the road, Ling Tian nodded and confirmed, "Try not to speak, not to turn around, not to do meaningless things, if anyone asks, say it's your cousin." It's all up to you, and if it doesn't work, I'll improvise. Is that so?" Sistina breathed a sigh of relief and added again, "Try not to use spiritual power in the palace, and salute when you see the king, the main thing is this, is your etiquette really okay?"
Ling Tian scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I think I can." Looking at Ling Tian's unreliable appearance, Sistina couldn't help but feel a headache.
Soon, after the guards confirmed their identities, Ling Tian and Sistina entered the palace without any barriers. What was displayed in front of him was not a mess of various streets that made people headaches, to Ling Tian's surprise, this was actually a very large courtyard!
The flowers and plants that have been carefully trimmed shine in the morning sun. The gardeners who built the plants, the servants who walked by with large frames, and the nobles who talked and laughed on the road, it was hard to imagine that this place in front of them, which looked a little like the street, was actually the royal palace of the Blood Alliance City!
At this time, Sistina's explanation also reached Ling Tian's ears, "The royal palace of the Blood Alliance City was originally a city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city. Ling Tian nodded, and subconsciously asked, "How many people are here?" "Most of the members of the Knights of the Guards are stationed here, and with a large number of servants like us, if the nobles come in at night, I guess there will be quite a large number of them. It was a servant on the side of the road who answered Ling Tian.
Smiling kindly, Ling Tian didn't say anything more. At this time, Sistina said uncharacteristically, "Although the appearance is beautiful, but the inside is different, especially those nobles, you must be more wary of them, their ears and eyes are quite well-informed"
Following the red thread carpet, the two came to a hall, where several retinues of combat power saw the arrival of Sistina and Ling Tian, and although they were secretly puzzled, they still came to provide services. "I'm going to meet someone, you can take my brother for a casual tour. Sistina casually pulled a servant's head and left without looking back, leaving only the helpless Ling Tian and the somewhat frightened servant.
Seeing the servant's appearance, Ling Tian was also very understanding and said, "Forget it, you go and get busy with yours, I'll just go around by myself." Glancing at Ling Tian gratefully, the servant thanked him and continued the work at hand. If the work is not done, he will be punished.
If you are not familiar with the terrain, it will be difficult to respond to an emergency. I still have to get familiar with the structure of the royal city as quickly as possible. Thinking like this, Ling Tian walked aimlessly in the endless corridor, seemingly admiring the neatly arranged stone statues and jade pots painted with delicate patterns on the walls, but in fact he was secretly paying attention.
After walking down the hallway for a while, a guard came from the opposite side. Unlike the guards on the streets, the armor he was wearing was very elegant, and after their eyes met, the guards stopped Ling Tian. "Sorry, please state your identity, otherwise you will be considered a suspicious person and I will have the right to arrest you" "Oh, I'm Sistina's cousin and want to visit the palace. Ling Tian calmly replied according to the script.
"Sistina, is there any nobleman in the palace with this name?" The guards were puzzled for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly looked at Ling Tian with a shocked gaze, "I'm sorry, my lord. Just in case, I need to confirm the identity of the face I met for the first time, so please forgive me for my inability just now. Ling Tian waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's okay, it's my first time here, if you know me, then you're undercover." ”
"Haha, you really like to laugh and laugh. Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, can you tell me some information about the royal city?" the guard replied respectfully, "As long as it is within the scope of my knowledge, I will say everything." ”
"There are so many rooms here, what are they used for?" Ling Tian asked. "This is the government office used by the nobles, and inside is the kitchen and the servant's room, and at the top of the stairs, ahem, it is forbidden to the general public. "For some reason, the guards seemed very evasive in the room above the staircase, deliberately hiding something.
"Oh, why, is there anything in there?" At this moment, Ling Tian finally found some useful information, but considering the issue of identity, he couldn't be too eager, and asked seemingly casually. "My lord, this is not something that a villain can answer, in short, I advise you not to approach there easily. ”
Knowing that his words to ask any more would arouse suspicion, Ling Tian changed his words and asked a seemingly inconsequential question, "I heard that His Majesty is seriously ill, will he attend tonight's banquet, and what is His Majesty's physical condition?" "That ......" The guard hesitated. At this time, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Hey, where are you stealing, what are you lazy about?" ”
The guards saluted the visitor in a proper posture when he heard this voice, this must have been his commander. With short brown hair, brown eyes, heroic armor, a resolute face, and an old-fashioned atmosphere exuding from his body, the person in front of him belongs to that kind of rigid person in every way.
As Ling Tian expected, he saw the person who came and said with a serious face, "Our duty is to protect the stability of the palace, not to chat with people, right? The guards straightened and respectfully responded. The man glanced at Ling Tian, but said nothing, turned around and left.
"Who was the person just now?" Ling Tian asked in a low voice as he looked at the person's back. "Captain of the Knights of the Guard, Master Don Meisner. The guard's serious voice came, and those eyes were not only respectful, but also incomprehensible fanatic. "You're going to be criticized later...... Sorry, it's all my fault. Ling Tian said apologetically. To Ling Tian's surprise, the guards said righteously, "No, it's my responsibility. I'm sorry to let you see such an unseemly place, so I'll take my leave. The guards saluted and walked forward.
Disciplined rather than wise, it seems that the guards were fairly well educated.
After walking out of the corridor, Ling Tian came to the courtyard he had just walked through, in the flower bed full of plants, beautiful flowers swayed gently with the wind, and the breeze blew on his cheeks, making people feel physically comfortable. Speaking of which, I really should be grateful to the mysterious master, otherwise I wouldn't be walking around as leisurely as I am now, and I might be as tired as those servants.
A hint of mockery rose at the corner of his mouth, as long as he was born as the heir of a nobleman, his status would be guaranteed. Breathe in the clear air without hesitation, live a luxurious life, laugh to your heart's content in the courtyard, have the best mentor guidance when cultivating, and have a large number of retinues to protect you when you go out, no matter what resources you want, you will try your best to meet them. Without any effort, you can live a life that is many times better than those hard-working ascetics. That's pretty enviable.
Suddenly, my eyes were covered by shadows, and when I looked up, a white sheet had fallen. Before the sheet fell to the ground, Ling Tian caught it with his arm. "Hey~!" someone on the roof was waving his hand, and judging from his clothes, he looked like a servant. She looked at Ling Tian, first pointed at Ling Tian, and then pointed at it, sending a signal to Ling Tian. Ling Tian also understood what she meant, it seemed that she wanted to ask Ling Tian to take the sheets before the end of the work.
It just so happened that Ling Tian also had something to ask her.
