Needless to say, no matter what time or space it is, time is the most magical and effective potion in the world.

On the one hand, it can dilute the memory, so that people can forget the pain that has been extremely painful, or the hurdles that they thought they could not overcome, until they gradually healed. But at the same time, it can also catalyze love, making people more deeply remember the blood and hatred of the past, warm kindness, and even pray all the time that one day they can return a tooth for a tooth, or a spring of retribution......

And when another five days passed, the effect of the Time Plate Potion on the vast majority of the nobles in the capital and the people in the temple at the moment was the former!

This really can't be blamed for their eagerness and neglect in advance, because it has been a full eight days since Don made cruel words to assassinate the Pope. In the past eight days, the empire and the temple have been tracking and searching continuously, and they have never slackened, but the Don has completely disappeared from everyone's sight like snow after the sun rises in the east, and there is no trace to follow.

No one would be stupid enough to doubt the terrifying energy exerted by the cooperation of the two behemoths of the Empire and the Temple. Therefore, if you can't find Tang En's trace, you will naturally not press on the empire and the temple. Then, excluding the possibility that the empire and the temple are unfavorable, the result will be obvious......

Donn is unleashing a cannon?

Or was it that after the Grey Space member was killed, and after learning that the greatest purpose of his trip had been revealed, he took the opportunity to stay away from the surroundings of the capital and the temple association?

This is the easiest possibility to conjure, and it is also the most reasonable move that is most in line with Donn's identity as an assassin who misses the blow and is instantly away.

And with this idea. The nobles in the capital and most of the people in the temple were immediately relieved. Chang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, even if they have confidence in the defense forces on their side. But after thinking about Don's fierce record, it is inevitable that he will kick and feel uneasy in his heart. Fortunately, now it seems that the other party has retreated, and their personal safety is sufficiently guaranteed.

Of course, not everyone thinks so. At least the Grand Princes, who are at the top of the Empire and the Temple power pyramid, as well as the Grand Masters of the Temple, still have some doubts in their hearts. They knew all the inside story, and they knew better why Don had come, and now that Charvien and her unborn child were still under house arrest in the temple. No matter how you look at it, Don En shouldn't give up lightly......

However, as time goes by, even if these people's doubts are not dispelled, they can't think about it anymore for now. Because, the coronation and enthronement ceremony of the new king of the empire is coming.

......

A tavern.

"Coming to be crowned so soon?

"The situation is special, everyone knows the shape of the empire now, and it is very tense, of course, it is necessary to urgently appoint a new king to stabilize the situation. ”

"Yes. Reasonable. I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Great Prince is strong and mighty, especially focusing on military strength. It is hoped that his accession to the throne will revive the morale of the army. Lead the Imperial soldiers to regain their territory and fight back to the north. ”

"Let's hope so, it's better to end this battle sooner rather than later. It's still us ordinary people who are unlucky...... By the way, isn't there another His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Where has he gone?"

"Haven't you heard?"

"What?"

"As early as a month ago, when His Royal Highness the Second Prince went to the north to negotiate, he died at the hands of the gray-clothed army. ”

"Uh, no. I heard from a distant relative that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is now on the south bank of the Lenau River, and he is alive and well......"

"Hey, what's the matter with His Royal Highness the Great Prince...... Ahem, don't say it, don't say it, drink, drink ......"

......

It has to be said that no matter what world they are in, the people who live in the center of power and at the foot of the capital are extremely sensitive to the royal regime, and they are also willing to talk about it and express their own opinions and comments. Of course, they also know what to say and what not to say......

Ordinary people are like this, and the nobles who have more or less vital interests naturally have more reasons to pay attention. The difference is only in the different places, the former are used to the streets, alleys, taverns and street stalls, the latter like to meet at court banquets, and talk to each other in private...... Of course, in addition to the location of the distraction, the focus of the two types of people is also very different.

There is no doubt that the coronation ceremony of the great prince is definitely a huge ceremony that has rarely been seen in the empire for many years. And under the table, it is actually the beginning of the competition between various forces.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the Grand Prince to go to the Temple General Assembly alone to accept the coronation ceremony of the Pope's crown. That can't support this grand scene, and it's a shame. So to sum up, the clapping and sycophancy who accompanied the eldest prince on this trip is absolutely indispensable.

Don't be in a hurry,

You must know that from another point of view, this so-called clapping and sycophancy party is an important historical witness to the coronation of the great prince and becoming the new king of the thousand-year-old empire of Bran - this is a rich qualification that is hard to find once in a lifetime, and it is also synonymous with a promising future!

To be clear, this kind of easy work, which seems to just clap your hands, applaud, send a few words of congratulations, and mix up your face, is now an absolute sought-after job!

There are many large and small nobles in the capital, and if you count the royal relatives, etc., you don't know how many you have. With so many people, it is naturally impossible for them all to go to the temple with the great prince. Moreover, the situation is special now, and Donn, the assassin, is hiding in the shadows. Even if the temple has confidence in itself, it will not take the initiative to mess up the scene and give the other party a chance to fish in troubled waters, which is no longer obvious.

Therefore, the corresponding request put forward by the temple general assembly has long been - the entourage must be reduced, and the net worth must be absolutely innocent!

As a result, the aristocratic groups that smelled the fishy smell at the moment were naturally restless and ran around the camp.

However, there are exceptions......

In the area of the aristocratic manor in the capital, "What? Invite me to watch the coronation ceremony?" Don't go, don't go to ......" Philip, who was dressed in a messy color robe and showed two hairy thighs, half-squatted in front of the easel without any image, and turned his head to look at the gilded invitation in the hand of the old man dressed as a standard butler next to him. It's like seeing the most terrifying poison in the world. Didn't think about it. waved his hand and retreated, letting the paintbrush paint in his hand splash on the easel, on the robe, and on his face, but he didn't care, just kept refusing,

"What are you kidding, you won't go! By the way, did my father promise to go? Let him not go either, for ...... reason No reason. Just say I said it, I don't want to give him flowers tomorrow next year......"

There is no doubt that the reason for this refusal is bizarre and unjustified. You must know that the gilded red invitation, there are some big nobles who beg for one, but it is not visible, let alone available. However, the housekeeper was obviously not surprised by this, calmly put down the invitation, and said, "Master, you don't need a reason, but how should the eldest prince reply to refuse?"

"Need an answer?"

"It's needed, especially at this time. Nodding his head, the butler replied with a clear look.

The Philip family's contribution to the empire is needless to say, only the sword god Wooding. It is enough to ensure that the family will survive for hundreds of years. However, the world is like this, and everything must be paid attention to. The forces on the eldest prince's side can ignore the Philip family's previous position of leaning towards the second prince, but at the moment, it seems that the winner has been decided, and the olive branch is taken to run, if the Philip family does not give some face, it will be a bit too much......

Of course, just a little. So Philip thought about it and gave a powerful reason. Stretched out his hand and turned the drawing board in front of him, pointed to the beautiful woman with a noble temperament in the portrait, and said confidently: "I don't have time, I promised my Polly baby that I would paint for her and date her." ”

"But this is Countess Olenna, young master. ”

After a pause, Philip spread his hands, "...... It doesn't matter who it is, and that's not the point. The point is that I promised her, understand?"

"Okay, I see. Bowing down and saluting in a standard posture, the butler simply turned around and left the studio.

As soon as the door was closed, Philip immediately threw away his paintbrush, supported his chin with one hand, and looked distressed: "It doesn't make sense, it's been so many days, why hasn't there been any movement at all?" Could it really be that he sneaked away first...... That guy dares to break into the Imperial City of the Northern Wilderness, His Royal Highness the tribe dares to soak, the Flower of the Knight has also surrendered, and even now that the children have made it, this little scene will be withdrawn? Well, no!"

"But if you don't slip away, you haven't found the right opportunity...... It's possible, after all, it's a temple, or someone else's home field, so it's better to be cautious...... But then again, if I were an Assassin, this would be a great opportunity right now......"

Picking up the gilded red invitation left by the housekeeper on the side, Philip looked thoughtful, and then nodded firmly: "Don't go! Resolutely don't go! That guy has never taken a heavy shot, the scene can't be so small, look at the excitement, you can't put yourself in it......"

It has to be said that Philip's speculation is infinitely close to the truth, but this is really not an unpredictable prophet.

Because including the eldest prince and the high-level bigwigs of the temple, they all suspected that Tang En could not give up so easily, and he must be hiding in a corner and waiting for an opportunity to make a move. It's just that they are different from Philip, a heartless outsider, the date of the important moment of coronation and enthronement has long been set, not to mention that it is impossible to change it temporarily, and even if it can be changed, the empire and the temple cannot afford to lose this person......

So for them, today's shape shì is already on the bow and has to be sent!

Pondering, "Young Master." The studio door was pushed open again, and the butler walked in again.

Philip couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and subconsciously asked, "What's the ......matter?" Why don't you go get this invitation for me? This thing should be in demand right now, and you can spend it for a little money. ”

After a pause, "No problem, young master, you can just be happy." Not that, though. The profession of housekeeper seems to be full of psychological skills, and when he heard this, he calmly accepted Philip's extremely unreliable advice, and then said calmly, "There is news from the Royal Court Sanatorium, let you come over with the things you took down from the mountain after dinner, and the Sword God Lord wants to see you." ”

When the words fell, Philip's body shook suddenly, and he looked up at the butler with a stunned expression......
