Chapter 0336 - Arrival in St. Rome City
The ship of the Red Bull Mission, after sailing at sea for another two days, finally saw the presence of land.
In the past two days, Bill, who was refused to continue by Nock, was a little disappointed, but after seeing the land,
Depressed, he was also excited like a child.
Unlike Nock, who went on the boat halfway, he started to get on the boat from the Red Bull Country,
It's been almost a month now.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them came on board later, he would have a playmate and could train and play at the same time.
I guess I'm going crazy.
The guards and sailors didn't dare mess with him.
Only Mr. Lane, who doesn't care about his identity, and the fearless Rasti, dare to treat him casually.
He also once almost got bitten by Rasti for teasing her by pretending to steal her food.
Fortunately, Mr. Ryan saw the opportunity quickly and gave the two of them a brain collapse to avoid the bloody disaster.
Originally, I thought that Uncle Miru would be angry with Mr. Ryan and Lust when he found out about this.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Miru just said: You deserve it.
There is no more to follow.
This makes Bill wonder if Uncle Miru's love for him has disappeared.
It's still sullen for this.
Especially after Nock made it clear that the rest of the journey was only to play and no longer teach Bill,
Bill's mood was lower than ever.
Fortunately, the land has been seen today, and they can go ashore!
However, although I saw the land.
But the ship sailed south for half a day along the edge of the land.
It wasn't until noon that a pier was seen in the distance.
Just when Bill thought he could finally get off the ship, he learned that he had to continue south.
This is not the closest port to St. Rome.
I have to sail south for half a day, probably in the afternoon or evening.
to reach the port west of the city of St. Rome, the port of Mitchino.
Disappointed, Bill, under Rasti's ridicule, leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the scenery from the shore.
It's frustrating not to be able to get off the boat, but at least it doesn't have to be like being at sea, except for the sea water or the sea.
Soon, Bill, who had adjusted his mood, hugged Rasti and exclaimed as they looked at the animals that suddenly appeared on the shore.
Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages and caravans heading south can be seen.
Finally, they arrived at the port of Mitchino in the afternoon.
However, it was much earlier than expected.
Nock estimated that it should be around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, the Church does not accept greedy goblins to set foot in.
So much so that the clock made by the goblins did not appear in the territory of the Holy Court.
People want to know the time, and most of them look at the position of the sun, or go to church to see the corona.
Of course, the church's bell tower also chimes the time.
However, the bell tower of the church is not a bell tower with a mechanical clock, but a bell tower with a heavy bronze bell.
The time is also ringing the bell.
The clock is usually struck on the hour between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
After getting off the ship, Nock left the Red Bull delegation directly.
This time, however, Nock personally resigned to Miru Sausaslot.
It can be regarded as an official meeting between the two.
Rejecting the money bag offered by Miru, Nock took Lusty and waved goodbye to Bill.
Got into the crowd of people who were busy at the docks and disappeared.
Miru didn't care, nor did he comfort the sad Bill, but instructed his subordinates,
Quickly bring down the gifts and tributes to be carried on the ship, as well as their accompanying belongings,
Then send someone to the port to rent a carriage and go directly to the city of St. Rome.
It is afternoon, and the city of St. Rome is fifty miles away from the harbor,
Hurry up and you should be able to reach the city of St. Rome before dark.
Perhaps, I can visit a few old bosses in the evening to find out the content of this campaign.
After all, on the way here, he heard a lot of rumors.
For example, this election is said to have been selected by the big names of the Holy Court.
These candidates, they are just here to put on a show.
Miru is desperate to know the answer to this rumor.
lest you offend the top without knowing it, and the failure of the election is a small matter,
It's a big thing to be hated by the big guy.
The Red Bull Country has been defeated over the years, and the territory has been annexed by the shameless Black Bull Country under the pretext of making a lot of excuses.
But the royal family still stupidly thinks that this is the Black Bull Kingdom helping.
Who has made the Black Bull Country and the Red Bull Country friendly for hundreds of years,
The royal family has always been married.
The current queen of the Red Bull Country is the sister of the King of the Black Bull Country.
But this queen's heart is not towards the Red Bull Country at all, but towards the Black Bull Country.
But the queen of the Black Bull Country, the sister of the king of the Red Bull Country, is bent on betraying the interests of the Red Bull Country.
Help the Black Bull Country become stronger.
Because, her two sons are themselves the heirs to the throne of the Black Bull.
In order to prevent her two sons from fighting among themselves, the queen of the Black Bull King, who was born in the Red Bull Country,
But he is eyeing the throne of his own brother, to be precise, the throne of his nephew.
Over the years, the prince of Red Bull has been inexplicably assassinated and persecuted.
But the stupid king still trusts his sister and sends his eldest son to the Black Bull Country to "protect" his sister!
Fortunately, the ministers and nobles of the Red Bull Country blocked and finally left the little prince in the country.
And it was handed over to the first queen to raise, so that their black-hearted queen would not interfere.
When it comes to the queen of their Red Bull Country, everyone thinks that this person is not a fool.
actually helped his nephew to seize his son's throne.
It can be seen that it is stupid.
But she was able to coax the king around, and cure the other women in the palace to death.
There is no one who can compete with her for favor at all.
Even if the aristocratic ministers sacrifice their daughters to compete for favor with the queen,
In the end, the queen found an excuse to kill her.
It can be said that this election of cardinals, for them in the Red Bull State,
And even the top priority.
Only when Miru becomes the cardinal of the Kingdom of Fran will he have a chance to make an alliance between the Kingdom of Fran and the Kingdom of Red Bull.
Otherwise, the King of Fran, who has a marriage with the Black Bull Country, may not be able to look down on the small Red Bull Country.
After all, if you carve up the Red Bull Country with the Black Bull Country, then the Kingdom of Fran will be able to border the Black Bull Country.
Although this kind of thing, the ministers of the Kingdom of France are trying their best to prevent it.
But who knows what the soon-to-be-enthroned King Louis of France thought.
His queen is now the princess of the Black Bull Kingdom!
A woman with the bloodlines of the Black Bull Country, the Red Bull Country, the Lionheart Kingdom, the Fran Kingdom, and the Four Kingdoms!
In these four countries, they are all heirs in line with the qualifications for the throne!
Of course, the order is very backward, but it can't hide her noble identity!
Isn't the king of the unicorn kingdom in the north of the Lionheart Kingdom the son of the former queen of the Lionheart Kingdom!
In line to the throne, he is also the first in line to the throne after the current Queen of the Lionheart Kingdom!
And this heir is a mortal enemy with Elizabeth, the current queen of the Lionheart Kingdom!
It is conceivable that if the Kingdom of Fran, which has the princess of the Black Bull Kingdom as the queen, and the Black Bull Kingdom are allied,
And then there is the Black Bull Princess, the princess of the Red Bull Kingdom, what will happen to the Red Bull Congress!
Two demagogic women can definitely play and applaud these two countries,
Let the two countries become the stepping stone to the rise of the Black Bull Country!
If the two countries are annexed, it will not be far before the Black Bull Kingdom wants to become an empire!
Miru is shouldering the expectations of the nobles of the Red Bull Country and wants to get the cardinal position this time.
Reversing the decline of Red Bull Nation.
After all, with a cardinal backing him, the King of France has to be afraid of three points!
What's more, the Black Bull Kingdom has been faintly rejected by the church and is ready to be requisitioned.
If he can become a cardinal, the Black Bull Country may take care of this and leave the Red Bull Country as a buffer.
in order to stop the army of the church.
Compared with the hurried Sausa Slot, the two of them were much more relaxed.
None of Nock's important belongings were missing.
So he bought a few new clothes and shoes for Rusty in the commercial street of the port.
I also bought a change of clothes myself.
Freshen up at the hotel in the harbor.
Stayed at the port for one night, just after dawn the next day,
Nock took Rasti and rode a fast horse he bought yesterday,
Pilgrimage to the city of Rome.
With the blessing of Nock's magic, it only took an hour for the horse to take Nok and the two of them outside the city of St. Rome.
In the faint light of dawn, the two Nock rode horses, standing on a hill not far from the city of Rome.
Look up in that direction.
The city of St. Rome, an ancient and historic city,
It looks even more mysterious and solemn in the early morning mist.
In the distance, the sky still has the deep blue of the night, and the glimmer of the morning sun quietly blooms on the horizon.
The sun rises slowly from the east, a gentle glow over the fields, rivers and ancient walls.
The outline of St. Rome gradually became clear in the morning light,
The old buildings seem to emerge from the long river of history.
Nock's perspective can faintly see the Papal Palace on the Holy Mountain,
Even though you look at it from a distance, you can still feel the glory of the past.
The nearby Colosseum is also faintly visible, a scar of history that bears witness to the glory and decline of ancient holy Rome.
Looking along the river towards the heart of the city, the meandering Tiber River is like a ribbon through the ancient city.
The river is shining with golden light as the rising sun shines.
The intricate streets and houses on both sides of the riverbank seem to tell the city's rich history.
Looking farther away, the dome of the Great Basilica of the Holy See shone in the sun, the heart of the city of St. Rome,
Beating an ancient and deep rhythm.
The ancient buildings next to the Holy Court are like rows of historical stone monuments, recording the vicissitudes and changes of the city.
Retract your gaze and look around, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields,
It's like an idyllic picture.
In the distance, the sun rises and the morning glow stains the sky, and a new day begins in the bustle and silence of St. Rome.
Nock stood there, gazing at the ancient city that had awakened from its slumber,
My heart is filled with reverence for history and anticipation for the future.
Endless streams of carriages and crowds of people rushing to the Holy City,
All show the prosperity of this ancient city.
Of course, with the general election of cardinals imminent, excitement is inevitable.
The process of entering the city is a little complicated.
Nok originally thought that he would be able to enter the Holy City with the adventurer's identity card.
But he found out he was wrong.
The identity of the adventurer is not recognized in the Holy City.
Although the arrival of adventurers is not denied, it is necessary to present a pass issued by the Holy See, which allows entry and exit from the Papal States.
Fortunately, Nock has this certificate, but he didn't want to reveal his identity so soon.
Instead, he wanted to go into the city to find out where Richelieu was staying, and inquire about the real reason why the Holy Court had summoned him before making a decision.
Because he had already instructed Rhodes to find a way to inquire about the news as soon as he arrived at the Holy Court.
If necessary, ask Richelieu to help.
But now, he had to identify himself and take out the pass issued by the Holy Court.
He knew that someone must have taken care of the guards guarding the door, and his appearance could not hide from the well-intentioned people of the Holy Court.
But the city must be entered, and it cannot be turned around for fear of trouble.
Still, there was a little hiccup in between.
It's because of Rasti's identity.
Originally, to enter the Holy City, it was enough to have a proof of Nok.
But these two days are critical days for the general election.
Today, it will be the Holy Tribunal announcing the selection aspects of the general election.
The selection lasts about a week, and the best ones are selected to serve as cardinals.
As a result, the scrutiny, which was not too harsh in the past, is particularly harsh today.
Rusty didn't have identification, making it difficult for the guards.
But this person in front of him is the person who the Holy Court wants to see by name, and the guards can't stop him from entering.
In the end, it was the leader on duty who came forward and personally took the two of Nock into the city.
and accompanied Nock to report to the inn arranged by the Holy Court.
