#773 Canonization Ceremony (1)
Tang Fang looked at his own reflection on the window, picked up the cup of coffee on the table, and sipped lightly.
The Hal Palace under the mist has a kind of intoxicating hazy beauty, without the embellishment of bright lights at night, it has more tranquility and dust, like a woman's hand.
The palace wall reflects the morning light, the vegetation is swaying under the sunlight, the silver carp in the pond is frightened away by the popularity, and rushes into the bottom of the lotus leaf with a whoosh, leaving a clear and shallow ripple.
The shuttle slowed down and landed slowly on the tarmac near the square in front of Hal's Palace. Henrietta, Mellor, Gilcott, Tang Fang, Elena and others left the cabin one by one and set foot in this country again heart.
Kyrenia covered her eyes, looked at the dazzling rising sun in the sky, and followed a few people towards the gate of the palace.
Bai Hao and Tang Lin were at the end, secretly protecting the people in front of them.
Paladin m5 was lying on the table in the passenger compartment of the shuttle, reflecting the light from the cabin roof, making it quiet and cold.
Different from the last reception, there are more people present today. After all, it is a duke’s canonization ceremony. Almost all the nobles and nobles in “Khanos” came to the scene, and even officials from some important departments also received the king’s According to His Majesty's order, he arrived at Hal Palace by different means of transportation.
Parked in the front square are the cars of leading figures from all over the "Cabretto". They are not luxurious or ostentatious, but they are all unique customized versions.
Perhaps their appearance is not outstanding, but from the most important avionics equipment, magnetic levitation unit, drive system, to interior decoration, seats, audio, etc., they are all the top luxury goods in this country.
Of course, no matter how connotative these vehicles were, and no matter how high-spirited those officials were, they all bowed their heads in front of Henrietta and the others, and stepped aside politely.
Tang Fang saw Turamon's son in the crowd in a daze. Lord Kehanalu's face, a little curious why this "Nasero" Governor came here by car instead of taking the special car from Dongfang Airport.
Today's protagonist is not the Regent. It was Elena, so many eyes gathered on the girl's face.
The white dress is lit by the morning sun. Those beautiful little flowers bloomed on her chest, and the long skirt flowed behind her, like a quiet spring bubbling in a stream.
Her face was a little red, because those eyes were very hot, stronger than "Khanorton" in the sky.
A lot of gazes gathered on Tang Fang's face, which was much more complicated than the gazes that Elena received. There were various emotions, but the most.
Still terrified.
There used to be a lot of hatred, but now there is a lot of horror.
Because just 3 days ago, he played Jasper and Linova to death. Although there was no direct evidence that the murderer was him, everyone knew that this matter was inseparable from Captain Tang.
What's more, Anthem Will relented.
The son was killed, and the choice of being a father was ignored.
No one doubted His Majesty's ability, but he was capable and decisive. The scheming person chose to take a step back and compromise with him.
Hymn Will and Henrietta have been fighting for so many years. No such concessions were ever made.
What does this mean? His strength, even a figure like His Majesty the King, feels fear and trembles.
His stories are circulating outside, and his waves are surging inward.
It was not the first time for many people to see his face, but it was the first time they saw him. Surrounded by the three most prestigious princes of the old school, they walked towards the main building of the palace, which represented power and status.
He made a legend and created an era. Perhaps it is too exaggerated to describe the era, but many scholars who are proficient in history are stubborn. To be precise, the word is used very subjectively.
When the good side of human nature is suppressed to the minimum, when a group of demons dance in the court. When evil breeds in the corners of the times, there are always some human beings called heroes who come to end an old era and create a new one.
This is the recurrence of history and the revival of the vitality of a civilization.
There were some who believed he was that kind of man, like old Marion who fought alone in Monya.
Some people would like to believe he was that kind of guy, like a dying old man under a Greenwich sky.
Of course, some people don't believe that he is that kind of person, such as Miss Nut Robot.
There are even people who do everything possible to prevent him from becoming that kind of person, such as the one from the Monya Empire, the one from the Sulu Empire, the one from the Phoenix Empire, and the one on the throne made of swords and gems in Hal Palace.
Henrietta leaned sideways on the magnetic levitation chair, her eyelids drooped, seemingly drowsy, but she caught the eyes of many people, and even the thoughts in their hearts.
He sighed again.
This was the second time he sighed since setting off.
Tang Lin followed behind blankly, as bored as a gourd. However, Bai Hao felt it was very fresh, because it was the first time he came to Hal Palace, the first time he saw this kind of pilgrimage scene, and it was also the first time he was surrounded by many eyes.
If it was Roy, it might be awkward, if it was Yingluo, it might panic, if it was Linglong, it might pretend to be calm, but when it came to him, it was an unceremonious and icy stare.
If Tang Fang gently said to do it, he would kill everyone here without hesitation.
Wealth obtained with hardworking hands can only be respected, and money plundered with power stinks like dung. Just judging from the maglev cars parked on the square, these people have already been branded "damn" by him Label.
It's a pity that Tang Fang didn't say "do it". There are too many corrupt officials in this country, there are hundreds of millions of them, and he alone cannot kill him.
A reinforced platoon of black warriors was stationed at the gate of the palace. The specially modified crusader-grade power armor integrated multiple sensing devices such as infrared detectors, X-ray machines, and metal detectors to prevent possible special situations.
Tang Fang, Tang Lin, and Bai Hao were regarded as key care objects. The rays passed through them frequently, and two black warriors even wanted to strip Bai Hao's clothes for a more detailed inspection.
It wasn't until Henrietta snorted coldly and said, "Let Drizzt come to see me", that she persuaded the team leader and let a few people enter the arena.
When they walked into the gate of the palace, climbed up the steps, and walked towards the main building, two black warriors who had removed their power armor caught up and used the excuse to lead the way for them. But he was at the end of the line, keeping a close eye on Bai Hao.
The boy showed extraordinary strength during the ambush in the salt field, and Psalmwell was wary of him. It was a completely reasonable thing, and Tang Fang didn't care about it. Seeing this, Henrietta didn't say much, but frowned, a little displeased.
However, Bai Hao sneered again and again until he entered the main building and continued walking along the side corridors to the depths of the palace. When he saw ladies and ladies wearing various dresses, he couldn't help blowing his whistle, acting like a vagabond.
He didn't think about playing tricks. He was just provoking the 2 Darth Vaders behind him.
The black knight or the black warrior, which one is darker... no, stronger?
Leaving the main building from the side corridor and entering the atrium, several people suddenly surrounded him. Tang Fang took a closer look and saw that they were the descendants of the wall-riding lords that Senbat Doyle and the Bavaria space station met.
They did not wander around the atrium like other people, greeting nobles or officials with familiar faces, but stood under the corridor of the main building. They talked in a low voice until Tang Fang appeared before following his footsteps. Go to the Ibrahimovic Palace behind the atrium.
Sunbat approached Tang Fang on purpose, betting his ideals and future on him. Those descendants of the Fence Lords were different. They were completely forced to do nothing, or they had no choice, so they could only make mistakes and go on.
To be precise, Sunbat knew what Tang Fang wanted and what kind of political ambitions Tang Fang had, but the others did not. They were completely tempted by Senbat, and they were eager to find a backer on behalf of the lord behind him. Only then did he join Tang Fang's camp. Later, something like that happened on the Bavaria space station. Jasper and Linova died tragically on the spot. As a few people who were close to Tang Fang before the opening of the Stone of Horus anniversary celebration, the old and new aristocrats naturally believed that the power they represented had signed an alliance with "Morning Star Foundry". Share adversity, advance and retreat together.
Ever since, even though they were very dissatisfied with Tang Fang's crazy act of killing the two princes, they were already overwhelmed and had no choice but to follow behind Sunbat's ass and continue to be Captain Tang's soy sauce younger brother, shouting for him, collecting heads, and showing off .
"Lord Sunbart, Lord Ireland...you guys are really early." Tang Fang purposely stepped back a few steps and talked to them.
The few people hurriedly said that it was not too early, not too early, and they had just arrived not long ago. Only Senbat took a deep look at him and said, "I am very curious, what is the concern of His Majesty the King, who can suppress even the murder of his son?" Down."
Ireland, Desperon and the others all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Tang Fang would explain it. Even Mellor looked back at him with a bit of curiosity on his face. Only Henrietta and Gilcott's expressions remained unchanged. Facing the respectful, calm, or complicated eyes and greetings of nobles and nobles, they continued to move forward.
"Have you heard of the story of 'Taste the Bravery'?" He didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions on the faces of Sembart and the others, and said to himself: "Goujian has Wen Zhong, Fan Li, and Hymn Will has Mr. J and Athena. It's just... ...I am not the king of Wu."
It just so happened that De Peilun was proficient in Chinese, so he knew what to say, but he still didn't understand what his last sentence meant, so he asked, "How do you say it?"
Tang Fang looked at Servis and Li Yun, who had gloomy faces under the statue of God of War Ares, and said with a smile: "Because I am a commoner, from dandruff to the cracks on the soles of my feet, there is a strong local flavor, where is it? What royal family?"
Debellen really wanted to raise his middle finger and say "*" to him, but considering that there were so many people and it was a public place, doing so would demean his identity, so he could only respond with silence.
Ireland knew what dandruff was, but not cracked soles of the feet, so he politely asked Desperon for advice.
Half a minute later, he looked at Captain Tang's back with a sullen face, thinking, why is this person so disgusting?
Although ceremonies such as the canonization ceremony can be complicated or simplified, the nobles of the United Kingdom of Turanx are not as fancy as the nobles of the Sauron Empire, but the hymn Will has given Elena enough face, and she is even older than before. When the king consecrated her father Congreve, the standard was higher. More than half of the nobles in the entire kingdom participated in the ceremony, and even the local lords watched the ceremony through remote projection.
Tang Fang also saw the uncle of Hymn Will, uncle of Henrietta, Prince Arnasi.
He was looking at Arnaci, and Arnaci was looking at him.
The strange thing is that he didn't catch any hostility from the old guy's eyes, the other's eyes were very calm, calm like a pool of stagnant water, until Henrietta bowed her head slightly to show her respect. Arnaci withdrew his gaze from Tang Fang's face, and numbly glanced at Henrietta without saying a word. Still not moving, like a patient with a severe stroke. Only the instinct of survival remains.
But the more this happened, the more Tang Fang found the old guy interesting, as interesting as Henrietta.
Because there are a lot of people present this time, from small officials with no real power and titles, to elites and celebrities from all walks of life, to ladies and sons of aristocratic families, to ministers and lords, even the largest hall of Hal Palace cannot accommodate them. so many people. Therefore, the main venue of the entire celebration stretches from the welcome hall of the Ibrahimovic Palace to the atrium. The corridors and the central square were full of people, and there were also groups of people on the nearby lawns and sidewalks, whispering about Tang Fang and Elena's deeds.
They didn't dare to talk about what happened at the Bavaria space station in the palace openly, but they dared to gossip about Small and Tang Fang.
Of course, the sound of pushing glasses and changing glasses was indispensable at the scene. Although it was only about 9 o'clock, there was still more than an hour before the ceremony. In order to avoid the boredom of waiting, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already begun to serve drinks and snacks.
Again. Compared with the canonization and award ceremonies of the Sauron Empire, the United Kingdom of Turanx is much simpler, without such complicated etiquette rules. There are not too strict requirements on clothing, music, ritual utensils, etc., and the participants are relatively free, appearing relaxed and informal.
Even the Marquis of Serves, Marquis of Li Yun, Duke of Finney, etc., only wore decent suits to participate in this celebration, instead of wearing velvet capes and The epaulets and hats that symbolize status, and the ribbons and medals hung on the chest. A long sword is worn on the waist, and different lace and ornaments are used to show their status and honor.
Only members of the Olipold family wear a short sky-blue cloak over their right shoulder. Attach the silver ring to the side of the sword at the belt, and wear white gloves. And small sword-shaped ribbons of different colors representing identity and status are attached to the wrists and shoulders of the dress.
Henrietta was still wearing the loose silk gown that was slightly deformed after many washings due to physical reasons. Gilcott and Mellor did not wear those gowns either. Neither listened, because the other party was the most loyal lackey of Praise Will.
Their identities are there. After all, they are big shots of the older generation, and they are at odds with the new faction ruled by His Majesty the King. No one will laugh at these old princes for their lack of etiquette... Except for Arnaci, they don't need to treat anyone present People know etiquette.
Unlike Tang Fang's teasing about Ireland and Debellen, Mellor has been on the phone since he left the main building and entered the atrium. It can be seen that he is very unhappy and a little helpless, and he keeps muttering Chatting, chattering, talking about things that others don't understand.
For example, "Smelly girl, if you have the ability, you will stay on the 'Ye Liuli' forever." --- This is a gesture of complaint.
For example, "Drop what you're doing and come over to the celebration, right away, right away..." --- This is a tough gesture.
For example, "God, for the sake of your long-dead mother, I beg you, just come and join us for a while?"—this is a gesture of weakness.
Gilcott shook his head when he heard it. As Melore's brother, he knew very well what the old man meant, and he also knew that he wanted to force Kudelia to marry him off.
Gilcott also understood that that niece was a well-known thorn, she looked exactly like Mellor when she was young, she was a master who didn't like oil and salt, couldn't tell good from bad, and spoke harsh words. The father dislikes social gatherings, and the daughter avoids them, a trait entirely inherited from him.
Generally speaking, parents prefer children who are more like their own in character or appearance, and Melore is no exception. As his youngest daughter, Kudelia is also the daughter who is most like him, and naturally won the pity of the old guy.
For a woman, the biggest things in life are nothing more than two things, getting married and having children. Kudelia is 33 years old, but she has never even talked about her boyfriend, just like the lofty "Ye Liuli", who is used to standing in front of the battle and standing on the top of the clouds, looking down at those colors.
But she is still a sharp-tongued master, just like her father back then, she never cared about other people's feelings when she said and did things, as long as she felt right, she would do it even at the risk of her life, not to mention those of the 23rd Ranger Regiment The staff officer, even Henrietta, has been contradicted by her many times, not to mention Mellor himself.
Ever since, how to marry this problem child has become Melore's biggest concern.
Many times, Gilcott took a schadenfreude attitude because he remembered a sentence --- retribution is sometimes late, but never absent. Mellor's current situation is exactly paying for his willfulness when he was young.
In the same way, he was still curious about Kudelia's life trajectory, which unlucky person would marry a tigress home as his wife? Who will tame her into a harmless little tabby cat?
A group of people were thinking about their own things, and when they were troubled by this or that, they approached the small square in the atrium.
The mist that shrouded the palace of Hal dissipated quickly under the sound of people and the smell of alcohol. The sunshine in late autumn was not only warm, but also gentle, and even more bright and unique. Passing through the turrets and clock towers, Biwa And the silver wall, fell in the gaps between the branches and leaves of the maple tree, igniting the red, like the flowing fire gently swaying in the breeze.
