On Wednesday morning, Rand went to the palace to participate in the rehearsal of the canonization ceremony, and this morning's rehearsal lasted very long, Rand had to follow behind Fernando Manewolf, who had just arrived in the morning, for a whole rehearsal first, and then the nobles who had been ordained had a separate ceremonial rehearsal.

"My brother Derek didn't interfere with your caravan's business, did he?" On their way to the palace, Fernando Maned Wolf asks Rand about the situation.

"Not at all" After all, Derek was not there at all, and there was certainly no interference.

"Oh, that's it" Fernando had a plan in his heart, Derek's money fan actually didn't blackmail Rand's caravan, that can only mean that he is not there at all, but Fernando can't understand why his second brother dares to leave the caravan.

The two of them followed the many nobles of the court along the road inside the palace to the golden dragon hall, and after the vassals lined up, Fernando watched as Rand was invited away by the court's attendants for the next step in the rehearsal.

"Such a country baron's fourth son, actually took such luck" Fernando looked at Rant's back jealously, Rand could not have appeared in Fernando's sight half a year ago, and only a few months later, even his own earl father had to give him three points, and now he has become a guest of honor in the royal capital.

"I hope you always have such good luck," thought the eldest son of the maned wolf.

In the side hall of the palace, during the rehearsal of the canonization of the nobles of the court, Rand met the doorman of the eldest prince Li Qi again, this time it was the knight captain of the duke's guard on behalf of the prince, the grand knight Crilius Lanyuan.

"Mr. Viscount, I don't know if you have any plans for the next few days." Crilius asked in a whisper as Rand stepped forward.

"Is there anything wrong with the chief knight of Crilius?" Rand had already prepared in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be puzzled and asked.

"How dare I bother the Viscount," said Crilius with a smile at Rand, and suddenly said solemnly, "it is Prince Li Qi who wishes to meet you." ”

Rand didn't want to see the eldest prince at all, because meeting meant breaking the bank, either the soldiers, or the money, anyway, the cost of this side was too high for Rand.

"Then it depends on the prince's time" But Rand didn't think that if he rejected Li Qi now, he would be fine, so he had to agree hard.

"Great, I'll report to the prince," said Crilius, who was very pleased that the invitation had gone so smoothly.

It took Rand two hours to enter the Hall of Dragons from the palace gates all morning, and then another two hours to complete the rehearsal and etiquette training.

The palace didn't care about lunch, and Rand still needed to return to the city for dinner, and return to Longtai Mountain in the afternoon to meet his boss.

The Red Dragon Family Shrine on Longtai Mountain commemorates the first monarch of the Dragon Kingdom, a demigod dating back 3,000 years, who is said to have signed an agreement with the Red Dragon God Deathwing, with the Red Dragon Family as the representative of the Deathwing family.

Although the rand has not yet been officially sealed, Yiying's documents and the certificate to enter and exit Longtai Mountain were obtained as early as Monday.

From the bottom of the mountain to the altar on the peak, you need to go through at least 4 levels, the first is the entry level set up by the knights of Dragon's Tooth City at the foot of the mountain, because there are some big nobles' stations halfway up the mountain, so this level can be passed as long as it is a nobleman.

After going up the mountain, you will pass through the enclaves of the great nobles, and there is also a checkpoint set up by the palace garrison, which can only be passed by members of the royal family, court nobles, demons in the palace, and those with the corresponding credentials.

The palace and the shrine also share a path up the mountain, and as he approaches the palace, there is a third checkpoint set up by the palace guards, and Rand passes this checkpoint and continues up the hill to the shrine, where he does not see the security measures that should be taken at the fourth entrance to the shrine.

The summit of Longtai Mountain was once the lair of many legendary dragons, and the first generation of the legend of the Red Dragon Family can be regarded as the servants and guardians of the dragon's lair, so the royal palace of the Dragon Kingdom has always been in the upper part of the mountainside of Longtai Mountain.

The palace is on the upper hill, on another slope of the mountain range, the green forest is hidden by a magic dragon platform, the platform is cylindrical, 10 meters in diameter, 70 meters high, according to legend, the ancestors of the red dragon family were taken up by the wings of death under this dragon platform.

Today, 3-4 storey buildings have been built on three sides around the platform, which are used to worship the kings of the Red Dragon family and for priests and garrison knights to rest.

When you walk to the gate of the shrine, you can see two 10-high white stone pillars, which depict various legends of the royal family of the Dragon Kingdom.

The first time Rand came to the shrine, it was not easy to pretend to be a leader to check, so he walked directly inside, until he was almost under the dragon platform, and only then did he hear someone stop him.

"This is the forbidden place of the ancestral shrine of the first king, please leave if you are okay!" A voice abruptly stopped Rand.

Although the other party tried his best to make the urn sound and the urn seemed to be full of breath, it sounded very immature.

Rand followed the sound to look at a large tree on the side, and saw that there was a wooden tree house on the trunk, and a pair of big eyes were looking at him in the door of the tree house.

"How can there be a child in such a place? It can't be that some prince was disobedient and was punished to come over to watch the spirit, right? Rand looked at the child in the hollow of the tree, and his mind kept thinking.

The girl in the tree hole leaned out, and from Rand's point of view, the child was 1.5 or 6 meters tall, with huge eyes, a pointed face, and crystal skin, which looked like a delicate little gong.

When the child saw that Rand had found himself, he said loudly, "Who are you, this is the ancestral shrine of the first king!" ”

"I'm Rand Gallop, and I've just been appointed deputy head here," Rand smiled as much as he could, showing friendliness, "I've come to see Count Corbin Joason. ”

"Oh, he's here to find Corbyn, you can go in there, he's sleeping in there," the girl gestured to the building inside, and retreated into the treehouse.

"Isn't this also on the edge of the palace, and there is no defense at all?" Rand looked at the unguarded shrine gate and wondered.

After a short walk inside, Rand saw a young man, who appeared to be a junior professional, dressed only in coarse cloth clothes, chopping wood with an axe in the clearing.

The young man had a handsome face, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the log in front of him, but his work was not neat, and a simple piece of wood was chopped several times.

The young man sensed someone approaching, turned back to Rand and asked, "You... Is there something wrong? ”

"I am Rand Galloping Horse, who was made a second-class court viscount by His Majesty, and appointed as the deputy head of the knights here, and I have come to see Captain Corbin Joyson today." Rand showed as much friendliness as possible, after all, the opposite side of the height is also junior, and it is estimated that he is a colleague.

"You're here to see my grandfather, so come with me," he said, and the young man put down the guy in his hand and walked in with Rant.

"Why are you here in person, you can just send a subordinate to get a sign and register for such an idle job." The young man said as he led the way, according to him, the position of the vice-captain was nothing but a salary.

"Even if it's just a, you should see the earl." Rand said a little embarrassed, he had just come to this royal capital, and his face was still too thin. "I don't know what the knight is called?"

"I'm Tierney Joyasson, I'm not a knight here, I'm just living here." The young man blushed and spoke a little embarrassed.

"In this way, Tierney, your talent is really good, you broke through to the junior knight at a young age." Rand looked at the baby-faced junior knight, and couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in his heart.

"Well, it's all taught by Liel," Tierney suddenly remembered something, "Vice-captain, don't drive me away, I've lived here since I was a child, and I don't know where to go without the shrine." ”

"And you are the illegitimate son of the royal family, right, I grew up in the imperial tomb." Rand complained silently in his heart, but said, "How can it, this is your home, I receive a salary here, how can I take the lead?" ”

The two of them entered the building next to the Dragon Terrace, and in a dining room on the second floor, Rand met an old man who was at least a silver knight, whom Tierney said was his grandfather, Count Corbin Joasen.

The old man, dressed in a white shirt and dark uniform trousers, was lying barefoot on a huge chaise longue with a novel on top of the huge general's belly, snoring incessantly.

"This?" Rand looked at the old man in front of him, confirmed with Tierney with his eyes, and received a positive response.

"Well, Lord Narrant and his holy daughters, this old man has grandchildren, and he still hasn't forgotten his heart," Rand complained in his heart.

"Grandpa, hurry up, there's a guest coming" Seeing that Grandpa, who was a silver knight, didn't feel the arrival of the guest at all, Tierney could only wake him up.

"Hmmm... Vivien, don't bother me, go play with your sister Shirley. The old earl muttered half-asleep and half-awake, much to the embarrassment of his grandson.

"The subordinate court viscount Rand Benma, appointed by His Majesty as the vice-captain of the shrine guard, has seen Count Corbin Joasen" Rand has no choice but to say his name and let the old man wake up as soon as possible.

"Hmm?。。。 Here it is?。。。 You? ”

Looking at the sleepy-eyed earl, Rand refreshed his perception of the nobility of the empire.
