Chapter 252: Tiran Shadow Guard
My name is Ulysses, and I am a knight of the Guards of the Kingdom of Tiran.
But that's just a superficial identity, my real identity is a member of the Tiran Shadow Guard!
The Shadow Guard of Tiran is an organization that is completely loyal to His Majesty the King and completely hidden in the shadows, and is the key to the stability and strength of the Kingdom of Tiran!
It was not an accident that I was able to become a Tiran Shadow Guard, because I was raised and educated by the Tiran Shadow Guard since I was sensible, and it was my destiny to become a Tiran Shadow Guard.
And I, very happy about it!
After years of study and training, I became an official shadow guard, and at the same time gained the appearance of the knight of the guard, and my main job is to make sure that if there is any bad tendencies within the knight, His Majesty will know about it as soon as possible!
This task is very boring, I feel that I have studied and practiced for many years, and I have no chance to play it, but I still work hard to complete the task assigned to me by my superiors until I receive a more important task!
On that day, I reported as usual: everything is fine with the Guards Knights!
This time, what awaited me was not the usual simple response, but a new task.
That's great! The important task I've been waiting for for so many years is finally here!
I'm looking forward to it, and I can't wait to get the mission content and related information that I put in the secret place in advance according to the password I have, and then I can't wait to rush home.
During this time, I had to find an excuse to turn down the invitation of my colleagues in the Knights of the Guard, as well as the warm greetings of the neighbors, and after taking precautions, I entered the secret room and opened the information on the enchantment protection.
After reading the content of the mission first, I found that this mission didn't seem to be too difficult, just to use my identity as a knight of the guard to join the mission led by Earl Sutton Stewart.
Earl Sutton-Stewart, of course, I know that this is a very famous figure in the royal capital, and the beautiful woman he slept with is said to be an enviable fellow who can be lined up from the royal capital of Tiran all the way to the shores of the Sodurunma Empire.
However, as the younger brother of the current Queen Highness, as long as Earl Stewart does not do anything harmful to the Kingdom of Tiran, and just sleeps with ordinary women, he will not have any trouble finding him.
My mission is not to investigate the Earl, but to follow the mission to Winterfell, located in the Northern Plains, to investigate all the information in Winterfell in detail.
Winterfell, Baron Glamorgan...... Oh, now it's the Count!
He was a super lucky guy, and some even called him the luckiest man since the birth of the Kingdom of Tiran.
Now, this lucky Earl, who has been favored by Lady Luck again, is actually ready to marry the beautiful Princess Sophia to that guy.
Damn it! It's so jealous!
For a moment, I wished I was the Earl of Glamorgan! But I'll take a look at the rest of the information first!
Along with the mission requirements, I was given information from the Kingdom and the Tyran Shadow Guard through various sources to give me a basic understanding of Winterfell.
Trained in the field, I knew that the information came to me with another task: to verify!
Is the actual situation in Winterfell as documented? How accurate is it? What's the difference? How big is the gap? It's all up to me to investigate!
It seemed like a challenging task, but I started looking forward to it......
Joining the mission was not a hassle for me, my superiors had already prepared for me, and I didn't need to be very special in the mission, as long as I did the work of the knight of the guard - to serve as a guard next to the princess or the count.
There was nothing to worry about along the way, but as we gradually approached the northern plains, the weather was getting colder and colder, and even if I put on a heavy battle robe and cape, this knife-like cold wind still made people uncomfortable...... I also want the kind of warm jewelry that Her Royal Highness wears......
When I arrived in the Northern Plains, what the hell is this place, and the wind here is even more unbearable than before
Except for the knife cut, these winds seem to be pervasive from all directions, and even though I have plugged all the gaps in my armor with cotton cloth, I still feel the wind blowing into the armor......
Is this Snowy Castle? It's really a rudimentary fortress, and the orcs can't even take down such a fortress, and it doesn't seem to deserve too much attention......
I was wrong! The inside of Snowy Fort is so beautiful? So clean? I feel that the main road of Snowfield Fort is cleaner than the royal palace in Tyran, could it be that in order to welcome Her Royal Highness, the Earl of Glamorgan specially asked people to clean it?
The heavily armored Winter Knights, and the giant metal golems, the Winter Knights, which they thought were just a joke, didn't seem to be what everyone imagined, just the product of the country lords entertaining themselves......
Anyway, the house in Snowfield Fort is very warm, and it is said that because of the heating, I feel as if I have come back to life, and it is so comfortable that I have had a rare good night's sleep since joining the mission......
This vehicle, called a truck, is not very comfortable to sit on, but it is really fast.
Looking at the other guards knights in the car, everyone was amazed by the speed of this car, and everyone felt that if the soldiers could ride this kind of vehicle when they went out to fight, they could reach the battlefield faster and easier, and they could leave more strength to deal with the enemy.
I agreed, and realized that Winterfell would be able to control a larger area of land with fewer troops with such a vehicle......
Arriving at Winterfell, I finally met the so-called Winterfell.
Recalling what I saw in the sources, Winter Town was just a small town under construction, the infrastructure was not perfect, only a few wooden houses, although Baron Glamorgan was building his own town, but it was difficult to build Winter Town in a few years.
Looking at the city in front of me with countless beautiful houses, I think I should fire the Shadow Guard who is in charge of investigating Winterfell!
Could it be that all the beautiful houses in front of you were built in this year? Winterfell doesn't have so many craftsmen to be able to complete such a large project in such a short time!
Just as I pondered how to report my colleague's negligence, the team had arrived at the accommodation that Winterfell had arranged for us.
Winter Hotel?
It sounds like a cliché name, but it's a nice place, and Earl Glamorgan of Winterfell has even arranged comfortable rooms for all my entourage, including me.
Even an ordinary Guard Knight like me only lives in a double room with another Knight of the Guard, rather than a large crowd of people crammed into the barracks - to be honest, if the barracks in Winterfell had a similar environment to the barracks in Snowborne, I think living in the barracks would be a good hospitality, and I didn't expect to be treated so well.
Count Glamorgan is such a generous and friendly lord, and only such a good lord is worthy of marrying Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!
I sat on the comfortable bed for a while, and it was the first time I sat on such a comfortable bed, and I felt as if I was about to sink into it.
After sitting quietly for a while, I got up and looked at the "bathroom".
When the waiter introduced me to what these things are useful and how to use them, I was a little difficult to accept when I knew that the toilet was actually in the room, but now I ......
Kick Mike out, this guy has been in the bathroom for a long time, and I don't know what's there to see about it?
After solving some necessary problems, I quietly observed for a while, and the filth was really washed away by the water, and there was no smell coming out.
It's amazing, and that sink, where does all this water come from?
And that glowing thing called "electric light", it's so convenient, I wonder if I can buy some electric light and put it in the secret room?
After a good night's rest, the comfortable bed made me a little reluctant to get up, but there was still a lot of work to be done today, and I sat up with super will.
Glancing at the bed next to him, Mike also woke up, staring and lying there, a little bit of a sense of getting up
None of them.
Tut! What a shame for the Guards Knights!
I got up and washed, I have to say, the bathroom is really convenient, I don't even have to go out of the door, I can solve all kinds of problems.
And those filthy things have also been cleaned up, I don't know where they were "sent"? Is it underground? Won't it be piled up? Maybe someone specializes in cleaning up this stuff?
After arranging my gear and grooming, I dragged Mike out of bed, and rode my equally well-rested horse closely behind the cart carrying Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Earl, and I took a serious look at everything in Winterfell.
Winterfell, really clean!
Even when I came to the farmland where the common people lived, I didn't see garbage, let alone muddy roads, and I found that even some inconspicuous alleys were paved with beautiful stone pavement.
It's unbelievable, even if Winterfell is just a small town, laying stone pavements throughout the town is not a small project, not to mention that Winterfell actually covers a lot of land.
Especially those main roads, which are wide and scary!
With this in mind, continue to follow the party on a "tour" of Winterfell.
Because I was right next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I was lucky enough to hear a lot of information, including how much farmland Winterfell currently has, and how much food it can produce each year.
What is the purpose of a garbage and wastewater treatment plant? What's going on with the water system? What is a power plant used for?
These introductions have solved the doubts in my heart, and it seems that there are more and more things that need to be reported!
I also learned that Winterfell was so clean because of the request of the lord, Count Glamorgan, who even formed a security team to catch the residents who littered and defecated.
It's an exaggeration, those guys who were caught were really unlucky, and they actually ran into a lord with a habit of cleanliness.
And after visiting the Winter Barracks, I realized that staying at Irontree Fort was the worst!
