Verse 147

Annan guessed that Kylbelos had deliberately landed here, trying to shock the unseen northern hillbilly - and he did. Annan was indeed briefly immersed in that magnificent and fantastic earthly kingdom of God. Compared with the royal capital, the thriving Xingyue Bay is like a small fishing village.

But Annan firmly believes that the royal capital has the present, and Xingyue Bay has the future.

After entering the royal capital, the traces and defects of the knife and axe carvings on the city walls, the potholed gravel roads of the streets, and the old houses on both sides confirmed Annan's idea...... In other words, the walls, streets, and buildings of the royal capital are full of traces of time.

Mel, the Knight of the Holy Grail, was recognized by the city guards as he entered the city, "Your Excellency! "The officer sees the Knight of the Holy Grail like the guards of Starmoon Bay see Annan.

"Tell the garden that Annan Reeves, King of the North, has come to visit."

"Yes, sir!"

The city guard hurried to the inner city on horseback, and Annan asked a little strangely: "Faro Barros, the king of the northern realm of the royal capital, said that the nezumi were blocked out of the city, why is there no trace of war here?" ”

This was said by the eldest prince at the Temple Council, but Annan did not reveal that he was also a member of the Temple Council.

"Because the royal capital is very large."

Mel said that the size of the royal capital was comparable to that of a county. The nezumi are just approaching the border, not the imaginary soldiers.

The crowds of people passing through showed that the royal city was still thriving, and that the people were unaffected by the war—if it weren't for the rat tide that swept through the mountains and fields from the portal, Annam would have believed it.

It wasn't long before the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the depths of the street, and the city guard came to the city gate with a welcoming knight and a carriage.

The Knights dismounted and stroked their breasts, and the Knight of the Grail said to them as if they were their own children, "The King of the North is in your hands." ”

"Aren't you with me?" Annan said in surprise.

In the envy of the knights, Mel stretched out his hand and pressed it on Annan's head, blessed him, and the golden light that flowed did not go away from Annan, and he said, "The golden soul will make it impossible for anyone to hurt you." I still have some things to do. But divine magic can only block physical, soul, and spiritual attacks, and verbal attacks......"

"I know how to do it. If someone hits me on the left cheek, reach over to him on the right cheek! ”

"Young King, you don't have to be like this."

"It's necessary." Annan said seriously.

Who knows what happened to the royal capital, whether it was a human or a rat man in the garden of that palace...... So don't offend anyone, it's better to collude with the rat people - when disaster strikes, Annan has time to shout "I'm my own rat!" ”

Mel began to wonder if it was right to bring this good king to the king.

Annan looked at Kyle Belos again. "I have something to do, don't you have my scroll? If you don't want to stay, just leave. The legendary mage said impatiently.

Why are legendary spellcasters so bad-tempered? It's okay, stay friendly, start with Kyle Bellos.

"Where do you live? I'm going to visit you. ”

"You ......" Kyrbelos turned into the distorted shadow of the first sight, dissolving into the sunlight.

The legendary mage ran away, and Annan looked at the Knight of the Holy Grail.

"You can meet me on the island." Mel said kindly.

"Where's Kyle Belos?"

"The little bat is the contract mage of the Grand Duke of Barbatod, you can meet him at the Grand Duke's manor."

"Little bats?"

"Because when he was younger, he liked to wear a cape, which looked like a little bat from behind." The Knight of the Grail said.

Bidding farewell to Mr. Mel, Annan got into the messenger's carriage and walked down the bustling streets to his lodgings.

The attitude of the welcoming knights was somewhat subtle. They kept quiet as they went, treating Annan as a guest, but with a hint of rejection.

The outer city was the residence of the common people, and the inner city at the foot of the high ground was where the nobles and rich lived. Passing another wall, the welcoming knight escorted the carriage to a secluded spot in the northern part of the city, where some elderly maids were trimming shrubs and grasses in the garden.

The captain of the knights said that it was once the residence of Princess Sayles......

"You're letting me live with the princess?" Annan suspected that the royal family's intentions were not pure.

"It was the Chancellor's idea, and His Highness Sayles had been away from the royal capital for almost twenty years," the Knight Captain hesitated...... The king's placement of the King of the North in the woman's place apparently wanted to humiliate him, and the introduction of the Knight of the Grail meant that the King of the North was half of his own......

"I'm fine."

Annan dispelled the problem of the knight captain and took the initiative to step out of the carriage.

The servants here are all old, and an old maid led Annan to the bedroom on the third floor: "This is His Highness's previous room, and the bedding is brand new. ”

The terrace faces the palace garden around the mountain, and the mage tower of the royal capital can be seen from the window.

Annan was satisfied with this temporary accommodation. Walked around the garden and came out into the street. The exquisite, extravagant buildings that even Xingyue Bay could not boast of, and the number of professionals was much smaller than that of the outer city, replacing them with frequent patrolling soldiers.

To Annan's surprise, he actually saw Susan's spinning machine—or a spinning machine from Starmoon Bay with the genuine logo printed in the lower right corner.

It was placed in the middle of the clothes store, where the clerk had just finished wiping the spinning machine and then knelt in front of the machine in prayer. Annan couldn't help but ask him what he was doing,

The clerk replied that it was said that the spinning machine always broke down inexplicably, but later the spinners found that after cleaning and appeasing them on time, the spinning machine was no longer so easy to break, and the cotton yarn produced was better, so it was handed down.

Annan gushed out some emotion and pressed it again.

Forget it, it's the wizarding world.

A pile of soil, a puddle of water, a fire, and a wind can all become elemental life, why can't a spinning machine become a spinneror or a cotton element?

Annan continued to wander around, casually stepping into a restaurant when he was a little hungry. Sitting by the window of the elegantly furnished hall, Annan asked for lamb soup and white bread, and looked at the people on the street.

The kingdom of Rikanr has not yet eroded, and as a royal capital with a population of millions, she is still alive and prosperous.

So Annan couldn't understand it even more, how could Wang Du not even react when the rat people hit the Far North County outside the three counties? If it weren't for the nezumi who wanted to use Faro Barros to catch themselves and declare that the royal capital would have become the nezumi's nest.

So what exactly are the nezumi plotting?

The current royal capital is like a large breeze city. He searched for traces of the nezumi in Breeze City a year ago, and searched for clues of the nezumi in the royal capital a year later. And coincidentally, the scavengers in both places did not come in handy.

Annan, who was waiting for the meal, couldn't help but mutter: "Eliminate the countless nezumi and uncover the conspiracy of the nezumi, this centurion should be me the one." ”

"Centurion isn't that easy to be."

A figure sat across from Annan.
