Chapter 157: Victoria III
Buckingham Palace
In front of the marble gate at the junction of the north and south courtyards, in front of the triumphal arch, a gorgeously dressed, elegant and dignified middle-aged beautiful woman is standing in the center waiting for a meeting with Mu Guang.
Fortunately, there was no blood, and most of the remaining traces of the battle were washed away by the torrential rain.
Within five minutes, with the busyness of nearly a hundred people, the dark palace was brilliant again, and the lights flickered.
All corners of the courtyard are covered with a thick bright red carpet, while the main road is covered with a dark red straight carpet to distinguish the road.
Attendants and guards lined up in ornate court dresses to form a small ceremony that greeted the dignitaries in a hurry, but still decent.
The torrential rain also seems to be gradually weakening, leaving only a light raindrop, which finally slowly stops.
Rejecting the umbrella held up by the guard, this beautiful woman who had just taken over her father's throne for less than ten years and was only 38 years old waited until Muguang's car had just stopped, and with a warm smile, she rushed out of the door to Muguang who had just gotten out of the car and stretched out her hand and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome, Mr. Muguang! It's an honor to meet you, and it's a blessing that, even though some bad things have happened before, it doesn't seem to spoil my joy and excitement today. ”
"My friend, please accept my sincere thanks, your heroic and fearless shadow is deeply imprinted in my heart, and you will become a distinguished guest and friend of the royal family..."
This kind of authentic and somewhat classical, very formal London accent is played by the British.
With a curly tongue of all kinds of subject-verb honorifics, to be honest, half of Mu Guang's mastery of American English didn't understand what the queen was muttering.
The sound of the Chinese dialect is similar, which means that even if you don't know how to pronounce some sounds, you can roughly feel the meaning by looking at the shape and the attitude of talking to others, without delaying understanding.
But English is different, this thing is purely composed of letters, the pronunciation is simple, but the meaning, as long as you don't know, you don't know, how to look at it, how to pronounce it is not to understand what is said.
Therefore, Mu Guang could only smile politely and awkwardly, while following the queen's guidance and moving towards the reception hall together.
You can't go too fast, you can't go too slow, it's like meeting the head of state, she will lose face when she walks in front, and she will be embarrassed after her...
In addition to admiring the celebrity portraits of the eighteenth generation of the queen's ancestors next to him, the eyes also have to look at the queen, because this girl is looking at him, and she doesn't look at the road, and she is not afraid of falling damn... If Mu Guang didn't look at it, wouldn't it seem a little unsightly.
As a result, Mu Guang's gaze always moved down unconsciously.
However, Mu Guang also learned, and simply kept the dark power leaning over, of course, it was not activated, but the temperament of the whole person was colder.
And successfully achieved that the mood is invisible, nonsense, and there is no expression on a straight face, and it is definitely invisible.
...
After about five minutes of walking
The group came to the Queen's Ballroom on the west side of the palace, which is the largest room in the entire Han Platinum Palace.
Giant crystal chandeliers hang in the hall. The blue living room is considered the most elegant room in the palace, with a command table made for Napoleon I.
The combination of white and gold is solemn and gorgeous, and it is the most elegant room in the entire palace.
After sitting down and serving tea, and then chasing each other after a meaningless conversation.
Queen Victoria III ordered the guards to fetch a sword in a crystal velvet padded transparent case.
You can still see a flowing halo of light, but it is so faint that it is impossible to tell whether it is because of the sword or the light.
...
Princess Anne's matter is very important, on the one hand, it affects the lives of the people of London and the royal family, and on the other hand, the arrogance of the mastermind behind the attack can also be seen from tonight's attack.
The collision between the transcendent and the mundane has caused nearly 1,000 casualties, but there has been no progress in the investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes.
It is only known that the other party is an ancient supernatural force that can be traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and has always controlled the British transcendent realm, and with the expansion of Britain at that time, it has infiltrated Europe and the world.
..
"The Spiders, the High Hats, that's what the outside world calls them, and their organization claims to be the 'True Eye'."
Sitting on the throne in the middle, Queen Victoria III had an uncontrollable anger on her face, after all, as a king, it was really disgraceful to be humiliated like this.
The queen pulled her slightly drooping hair, showing the charm of a mature woman, and less of the emperor's deterrence.
Maybe it's because of the rush.
Originally, her delicate outfit was forced to be disrupted due to the sudden attack, and then she only had a few minutes to see Muguang, causing her hair and temples to be a little messy.
...
Since they have set their sights on the string of 'Merlin Gems' that may be the main cause of Princess Anne's unconscious, there is no possibility of giving up!
"So, what exactly is the Merlin Gem, with all due respect, Your Majesty, are you sure it's the Merlin Gem?"
After listening to the queen's careful narration, Mu Guang thought about it carefully, picked up the delicate teacup decorated with gold-edged hexagonal patterns and took a sip.
His eyes lingered slightly when he passed the "Sword of Victory and Oath" placed next to him, but for some reason, when he saw this sword, the urge in his heart weakened and was no longer so strong.
Queen Victoria hesitated for a moment, and took the lead in getting up and inviting Mu Guang to come: "If it is convenient for you, you can come to my study." ”
In this world, many legends and myths have been manipulated, but many of them have actually existed.
After checking most of the information, the queen finally found a book about the record of the 'Merlin Jewel' in the mezzanine dark room of her study.
It was from this book that they understood why the "True Eye", a behemoth that had been buried underground in Europe for centuries, would choose to attack Princess Anne after getting the news!
After the complicated staircase, compared with this, Mu Guang still prefers the atmosphere of the Forbidden City, in this small room and a small room, although it is gorgeous but less domineering.
There were also a few warriors wearing gorgeous armor on the side, Mu Guang also noticed their battle just now, the specific strength is not judged for the time being, according to Mu Guang's judgment, most of the extraordinary strength they use should come from the armor on their bodies.
How many other silent priests, or monks? Anyway, the hood he was wearing was mysterious, and although Mu Guang disdained it in his heart, he didn't reveal it on the surface.
Finally, I turned left and right, and finally came to the last room on the third floor of the annex building on the south side!
"That's it, Mr. Muguang."
Recently, I've been fishing too hard at work, and I feel that life is wooden, and I want to go out on a trip
