After chatting for a while, Hao Ren got up and left with the excuse of leaving.
"Master Guardian has an appointment with someone?" Veronica looked over curiously, "Have you already found someone you know?"
"No, one of your nobles invited me," Hao Ren explained, "He said that he came from a family in Chongshan, called Willy, and he said that his family had connections with many ancient hermits and knew many It’s a secret for generations, I’m going to try my luck with him. Sorry, I’m really not familiar with your aristocratic system, and I didn’t worry about these things even back then, so I don’t quite remember his title.”
Veronica widened her eyes in surprise: "It's Earl Willie of the Kant family in the Chongshan Territory? Willy? Tyrian Kant, ah, that's a very famous person, the famous young nobleman of Talos, I'm afraid he is also The youngest earl in the kingdom's history—although it is only a relatively vain title at present, when he inherits all his properties and accumulates a little more meritorious service, he will definitely be a noble model that can be left in history."
"So powerful?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, "I really didn't see it... I just saw that he is quite handsome."
"I didn't expect Sanctuary people to look at people's appearance," Ania laughed, "The young Earl is indeed very famous. In fact, the two young people of the Kant family this time are not simple. A talented female knight who won the title of gold at a young age, Earl Willie is even more prosperous in the political arena. His experience in leading troops to suppress seven barbarian rebels in the northern wilderness made many military nobles older than him feel ashamed It’s impressive. To achieve this kind of achievement before the age of thirty, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for the Kingdom to meet such a talented young man again within a hundred years.”
"Heroes come out of troubled times," said Hao Ren, a common saying on Earth. "The situation in the world is precarious, and geniuses can only emerge at such times. However, compared to the two young men of the Kant family, the two princesses of Talos It seems to be more famous—at least in terms of military achievements, that Earl Willy only quelled the rebellion of several hill tribes in the kingdom, but Veronica has been fighting on the border of chaos for many years."
Veronica looked embarrassed after hearing this praise, and she smiled reservedly: "Well, I am indeed better than him."
... Well, it seems that this straight-hearted princess is not too reserved...
After exchanging pleasantries, the two princesses got up and took Hao Ren outside in person. Just as they reached the end of the gravel road in the small garden, a black carriage decorated with rose branches and a dagger emblem suddenly turned from the main road. : It seems that there are guests visiting.
The carriage stopped slowly beside the gravel road. A servant in black uniform jumped out of the carriage and opened the door on one side of the carriage. Hao Ren happened to pass by at the moment. When he saw the figure coming out of the carriage, his The footsteps could not help but pause.
A tall and thin man stepped out of the carriage. His face was thin and gloomy, and he seemed to be forever shrouded in a layer of frost. Under a pair of light gray eyebrows were a pair of sharp eyes like falcons. These eyes Hao Ren is very familiar with it.
When he first arrived in Baicheng, he had been stared at by these eyes full of hostility.
At this time, Anya who was standing aside suddenly interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts: "Uncle Luen, why are you here?"
Rune? This is the Grand Duke of Rune? Was it the alchemist recommended by him who cured the prince and princess of the "cursed sudden illness" with potions
Hao Ren was a little surprised, and subconsciously said, "You are Grand Duke Luen?"
Grand Duke Lu En didn't show any strange emotions when he saw Hao Ren this time. He just kept a straight face as usual, his expression remained unchanged as if frozen. First, he slightly bowed to the two princesses and Prince Andrew who was hiding in the back. Paying respects, he finally looked at Hao Ren, "Guardian, it's nice to meet you, we should have met at the banquet yesterday, right?"
"We met when the airship landed on the first day." Hao Ren also hid his emotions, just smiling, "It's just that I can't remember people's names very well, please forgive me."
"I heard that Your Excellency is a powerful ancient warrior, and is also the high-ranking bishop of the temple. In such a position, and there is still a gap of a thousand years, it is normal to pay little attention to us mortals," said Grand Duke Luen. He said lightly, "I came here to check on the recovery of His Highness Ania and His Highness Andrew. I wonder if your visit is..."
"Oh, I'm also here to visit, and Veronica brought me here."
After hearing this, Grand Duke Lu En gave Hao Ren a suspicious look. This time, he barely concealed his expression.
"Is there any problem, Uncle Luen?" Ania immediately saw the change in the atmosphere, and her address to Grand Duke Luen showed that she seemed to have a good private relationship with the important minister of the kingdom. Of course, it is also possible that they really There is a certain kind of kinship relationship. After all, in the kingdom's intertwined upper-class noble circle, the blood relationship has become an intricate network structure. It can even be said that the entire Taros Kingdom's upper-class nobles are composed of two or three big bloodlines. Yes, it is normal for some princes and nobles to be related by kinship in a private environment, "Master Guardian is very concerned about Andrew and me."
"That's right, the guardian of Duo Lao is bothering, pay attention to us juniors who will be a thousand years later," Grand Duke Rune said with a wooden face, and then suddenly changed the subject, "Since we met suddenly at this moment, it is an opportunity, I have some questions and I just want to ask the Guardian for confirmation."
Hao Ren was a little curious: "Question?"
"Although I am not a scholar, I am very interested in a lot of ancient knowledge." Grand Duke Luen raised his eyelids, as if he was really talking about his field of interest. "It's just that history is full of incomplete and fictional shadows. A layman like me It's hard to get real valuable knowledge—I want to ask you, the guardian of a thousand years ago, how the three "Holy Spirit Warriors" in the sanctuary divided the Hanging River into two parts ten centuries ago. Two? Then how did the Hanging River return to its original state?"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment.
Then the cold sweat started to flow on the back of the foot...
But the expression on his face still remained unchanged. After some ultra-high-speed thinking, he forcefully choked out some words: "Ahem, I have been stationed in the Kasuan Temple all those years ago. During the battle you mentioned Before that happened, the Casuan Temple fell, and then I fell into a long sleep, and of course I didn't know anything about the subsequent things you mentioned. Although I am sorry, I can't help you in this regard .”
"That's right... The feat of the Holy Spirit warriors separating the Hanging River was indeed at the end of the Millennium War," Grand Duke Luen nodded, but the next question came immediately, "Then you know that in the battle where the 'Pale Knight' Wagner fell , Who destroyed the Frost Queen's scepter? As we all know, it was the damage of the scepter that caused the Allied forces of Eternal Winter to fail to reach the battlefield in time, but there are different opinions on the truth of the destruction of the scepter. I'm afraid it's just you Only those who lived through that era can tell us the truth."
Veronica couldn't help but interjected at this moment: "Uncle Luen, isn't that..."
Grand Duke Rune immediately raised his hand to interrupt Veronica: "I hope to get the guardian's guidance. Your Highness Veronica, you have slept through every history lesson, so it's better to listen to it at this time. "
Veronica: "…"
Hao Ren could see it. Although he didn't know where he was showing his flaws, the Grand Duke of Rune obviously had doubts about his identity as the "Ancient Guardian". He didn't ask for advice at all, but questioned him.
"I know," he spread his hands on the spot, "but I don't have time to tell you now."
Grand Duke Rune was taken aback for a moment—this didn't follow the routine.
He has intrigued with many people, but it seems that he is not so shameless!
"Because I have an appointment with someone," Hao Ren continued panting at this time, "The Kant family is also inviting me, and it is also to discuss the issue of ancient knowledge. Before this appointment, I can't tell you more."
In the first two sentences, he changed the concept secretly, causing the two princesses beside him to whisper: "Ania, is there such a commandment in the sanctuary?" "I haven't heard of it..."
Hao Ren said with a straight face, "It happened a thousand years ago."
Grand Duke Luen was stunned, and then his face remained unchanged: "In that case, I was being abrupt. Please, Lord Guardian, go to the appointment first, and I will wait for your advice."
The implication is that he will have to come back later for research and research. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, and his piece of old ginger is probably already spicy...
Hao Ren is one head and two big, but at least he has passed the current hurdle. He kept his expression unchanged and nodded to Grand Duke Luen while maintaining his demeanor: "No problem, teach the world. It is my vocation to wait for the clergy, and I am very pleased with your hardworking and studious spirit, little guy. Go back and wait, when I sort out my thoughts, I will definitely guide? Guide? Guide? Guide you when I come back.”
After saying this, he turned his head and left without waiting for the other party's answer.
Grand Duke Luen's expression turned petrified in the back, and he muttered to himself after a while: "Little... little guy?"
Veronica and Anya felt that there was no problem with this title! (to be continued~^~)
