Chapter 774 Canonization Ceremony (2)
Some people squinted their eyes to appreciate the autumn sun on the other side of the maple leaves. Some people shook their goblets lightly, causing the mellow wine to make waves of red, squeezing the rich fragrance out of the wine glasses and sending them to the sky, mixed with flowers. The fragrance and the sweetness of fruit trees attract many elegant butterflies and bees of Meng Lang, adding some agility and freshness to this world surrounded by noise.
The water channel leading into the palace from the Harlem River turns a corner at the foot of the palace wall, passing through the front and back of the central square, injecting clear running water into the fountains and ponds dotted around the four corners of the atrium.
Many celebrities and noble ladies wander around the well-manicured flower ponds, sometimes bending down and sniffing the smell of flowers, sometimes naughty branches will pick up their top hats, and sometimes rude bees will scare them into pale faces, and then explode There was a burst of laughter like silver bells, which attracted the attention of the surrounding male guests.
There are also some women sitting on the benches by the edge of the pond, teasing the fish in the water, talking to their best girlfriends, sometimes nodding to those handsome men, smiling with their mouths covered, and talking in their ears for a while Thought-provoking whispers.
Tang Fang is also one of the people in the spotlight, but very few girls report their admiration for him, mostly life gossip and gossip. Of course, there is also fear and hostility.
Elena was not amazed by the magnificent scenery, nor did she talk to Kylinia, but just quietly looked at the scenery in front of her, everything around her, and recalled what Tang Fang said to her.
Remembering, thinking, silently reading, reading, shocking, moving...
Her complicated and intense emotions were interrupted by the minister in charge of ceremonies. It turned out that the officials in charge of the ceremony came to pick her up for preparations before being enshrined.
This is the first link of the celebration, and it can also be said to be the prologue.
The minister of ceremonies, Swift, wore a robe embellished with grass leaves and nebula patterns, and led several handsome knights, as well as young maids, to stand in front of the red carpet leading to the Ibrahimovic Palace.
At the end of the line stood an old man in a red robe. Holding a magic weapon in his hand, the cross is embroidered on the surface of his robe---a very famous figure, Norwood. Archbishop of the "Chanos" region.
Interestingly, he has another identity. The vice president of the Court Etiquette Association of the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the president is Swift, the minister of ceremonies in front of the team.
At the same time, Norwood is still a nobleman, directly responsible to His Majesty the King.
This is also one of the important reasons why the Sauron Empire looked down on the United Kingdom of Turanx, because the clergy in this country were not named Christ, but Olipod, spreading the glory of God from the beginning. The preacher who established the correct faith of mankind,
Completely turned into a dog under the royal power, reduced to a vassal of the royal family, a face project.
Just like when Hymn Will inherits the throne, he does not need to be crowned by a bishop, nor does he need to respect the Bible and swear to the cross, nor does he need to have a heart of piety and reverence for God. All he needed was for Norwood to stand there, say a few occasional words, and show his face for the cameras. That's enough.
The Olipold family represents the power of the country, and Hymn Will is the lord of a country, in this country. God is far less useful than the surname Olipold. It cannot shelter anyone, and it cannot redeem anyone. It is just a jade in the palm of the giant kingship, which is glamorous on the surface, but has no practical significance.
Sincerity, understanding, faith, repentance, kindness, kindness...
These things are not something that the Olipold family cares about. As long as people fear the kingship and nobles, that's enough.
The brilliance of divinity will never illuminate this country, just like Norwood can only stand behind the minister of ceremonies forever. Like a cold and stiff gargoyle.
Even in today's canonization ceremony, he is just a dispensable soy sauce role.
Even more interesting. The battleship classification of the United Kingdom of Turanx has a very distinctive religious and cultural color, such as. Missionary-class frigate, Preacher-class frigate, Holy Knight-class light cruiser, Archbishop-class heavy cruiser, Oracle-class battleship, Holy Spirit-class aircraft carrier...
This kind of thing that promotes positive energy and spreads the good side of human nature is endowed with a cruel nature by the Olipold family, which is used to kill, suppress, and conquer. It's ironic, I have to say.
The "Heisenberg" planet in the Duma star system of the Star Alliance has a local church inherited from the Star Alliance period. As the orthodox religious and cultural inheritors, they do not recognize the legitimacy of the church in the United Kingdom of Turanx at all.
From this point of view, the Kingdom Church organization surnamed Olipold is more like a foolish trick for self-entertainment, which is despised and cast aside by people with correct beliefs.
Of course, Tang Fang didn't care about who was the leader of Norwood and Swift, and he didn't have the energy to laugh at the deceitful behavior of the Olipold family. He chose to stop at the place where the red carpet started, and walked to the dining table with refreshments on the edge of the atrium with Sembart and others.
Since waking up in the morning, until now, he has only drank a cup of coffee and a few sips of wine. He always feels empty in his stomach and a little uncomfortable. It's better to have some snacks to comfort the temple of five internal organs.
Henrietta, Gilcott and the others were led by Drizzt, walked to the side hall of the Ibrahimovic Palace by another road, took a rest, and waited for the canonization ceremony to begin.
Surrounded by Swift, Kyrenia, and several maids, Elena walked onto the red carpet that stretched from the central square to the main hall of the Ibrahimovic Palace. Behind them were knights with long swords and officials from the Ministry of Rites. Norwood was still at the end, walking alone, in desperation, and with difficulty.
The well-dressed palace orchestra on the left and right of the red carpet played ritual music, and the guests stood with bowed heads, watching Eileen and the minister of ceremonies step by step towards the Ibrahimovic Palace, to meet the hymns Will and Elizabeth.
Some old people reported dissatisfaction and displeasure towards Kyrenia. As the heir of the Duchy of Kenar, Eileen should be accompanied by family members, and no matter how bad it is, she should be the top figure in the Dukedom of Kenar, not the female executive of "Morning Star Casting".
Especially the two ambassadors of the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, their faces were extremely ugly.
Who is Kyrenia? For the Monya Empire, it was the daughter of the generals under Kirkcraft's political enemy Butterfly, who was rebellious to the empire, but now she accompanied Elena to attend such an important canonization ceremony.
For the Sulu Empire, it was the official media propaganda that used beauty to seduce Harrington Harris. The female spy who has been lurking in the Mubarak star system for many years, flirting with the Star Alliance, the Garcia Rebels, and the "Morning Star Forge" has now entered Hal's palace in a grandiose manner. Be the guest of Hymn Will.
There is no doubt that this is a naked slap in the face of the two countries.
They originally thought that the person accompanying Elena would be Governor Bafir of "Adia". Didn't expect it to be her at all.
In fact, the two ambassadors also understood the difficulties of Psalmwell, and it could also be said that Tang Fang was powerful. Heloise had already met them in advance, and even Elizabeth had sent someone to inform the two of them.
The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Kirclough Stewart and Zaire Abdul do not want to become enemies with the United Kingdom of Turanx when internal and external troubles are becoming more and more serious. Therefore, even though their faces were dull, they still accepted the fact with a hard scalp.
Some members of the old school forces and people who sit on the fence. And some people who dare to speak out are talking about it below.
"If I were Elena, I would choose Kelenia instead of those from the Kenar family. God knows what they are thinking."
"Isn't that right? Even her status as the heir was won by Tang Fang with force. Of course, she must stand in the right position at such an important moment."
"Lord Lal, what you said is wrong. At any rate, Elena and Tang Fang are engaged, so how can you use words like 'position' to describe it? It's not about interests everywhere. Political principles are required everywhere. of."
"The expressions of the Ambassadors of the Monya Empire and the Ambassadors of the Sulu Empire are so wonderful. How I wish those reporters could take a close-up shot of them and put them on TV programs and online media."
"Is it just that their faces are ugly? Look. Marquis Li Yun and Marquis Serves are drinking under the statue of Ares. And Princess Heloise, she looks so bad, did she not sleep well last night? Woolen cloth?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Turamon and Tyron are here."
The discussions on both sides of the red carpet were quieted down, and indeed a few people walked on the corridor on the west side of the main building, they were the brothers of Psalmwell, and Tyron and Turamon walked in the front, followed by Ankatri, Pisiu et al.
The sunlight casts a golden layer on the corridor, and the stone railing on the right casts shadows. Jumping on the faces of several princes.
No one laughs, either at the sight of an old friend. Whether it's an enemy or not, they all have the same expression. Serious and dignified.
Star Alliance ambassador Li Fan said with a smile: "The grandnephew and nephew are separated by a generation, and it is true that the emotional investment is deep or shallow."
Cologne Powell, Ambassador of the Charles Federation, said: "You are wrong to think this way. The expressions of the two sides are different, not because of the different degrees of affection for Jasper and Linova, but because they belong to different political forces."
Obviously, the content of the conversation between the two ambassadors was based on the different behaviors of the old-school princes headed by Henrietta and Gilcott and the new-school princes headed by Tyrone and Turamon in dealing with the accident three days ago.
Tang Fang said: "Mr. Cologne, you are really a real person." These white people couldn't understand Li Fan's high-level black. As a descendant of China, he naturally knew what the Star Alliance ambassador wanted to express.
Talking around the corner is a specialty of the descendants of the Chinese nation. Even after more than 200 years of collision and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, it still has not lost its original color, and it is still so friendly.
The ambassador of the Republic of Dolanx, Di Maurier, did not participate in the three people's teasing of Prince Tyrone and his party, but looked at the two tall guys not far away and frowned and said: "This guy, Vanio, what's the matter?" Fighting for drinks with Alisher."
The Vanio in his mouth is the ambassador of the Silver Eagles stationed in the United Kingdom of Turanx, and Alisher is the envoy of the Phoenix Empire. The borders of various countries are also tit-for-tat, especially in some large-scale celebrations, eager to see each other's jokes, and competing for wine is the most common behavior.
Although the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, the Republic of Dorrancus, and the Silver Eagle Group had a lot of support for Tang Fang on the issue of the "Aradelle" coup and the "Georgia" massacre, but when he came to "Khanos" Afterwards, these ambassadors did not pay a visit or send a letter to invite him to a gathering. Firstly, they were afraid of causing trouble for him, and secondly, they did not want to intensify the relationship between the United Kingdom of Turanx and the motherland.
Until now, at such a highly anticipated celebration, there was an excuse and opportunity to chat with him and drink a glass of wine.
Obviously, this is a kind of etiquette, and no one can gossip - such as colluding with foreign forces. Conspiring against the law, trying to overthrow the United Kingdom of Turanx and so on.
There were many people standing near the dining table, but few of them dared to make friends with Tang Fang. Just kidding.
The high-status aristocrats couldn't see clearly the future political trend of the country, nor could they see through his character. Not daring to place bets easily, so they waited and watched the changes, and it became their code of conduct to follow the wind. On the surface, they looked respectful and far away, and they were always paying attention to the every move of Tang Fang, Henrietta, and Praisewell behind their backs.
It seems that Small was also involved in the Bavaria space station incident, and now with the addition of a Grand Duke Rules who has been having an affair with the Sauron Empire, the current situation has become more turbulent, making it difficult to figure out the context. Naturally, there is no way to prescribe the right medicine.
For the minor nobles and local officials with lower status, no matter if it is an old school or a new school, even if it is an old school that has been disintegrated, it is easier for those big men to punish them than to crush an ant to death. Therefore, many people dare not approach him at all for their own benefit.
Ever since, Captain Tang, who had never had anything to do with the word "aura", brought a very delicate atmosphere to the entire atrium.
He is not the protagonist today. But it is the core of the storm.
Putting a piece of mousse into the entrance, Tang Lin walked to his side and pointed to the north of the central square. A woman next to a fountain near the seating area said, "That's Heloise?"
Tang Fang looked at him curiously: "Byron mentioned her to you?"
Tang Lin nodded: "When you went to 'Na Sai Luo', he drank too much and said a lot of nonsense."
He remembered that at that time, the worker bees were refining the 7,500 tons of zero elements stored in the energy warehouse of the battleship wharf where the "Angel" was located. Tang Lin and Byron were in charge of guarding the periphery to prevent outsiders from discovering their secrets. He said something that touched the emotions of the head of the one-eyed dragon, so there was a scene of "speaking the truth after drinking", which made Tang Lin listen.
"Yes." Tang Fang nodded. But in the next breath, he shook his head vigorously: "No."
Tang Lin was a little confused, thinking to himself. Yes it is, no it is not. He said "yes... and no". What's the matter?
He sighed, without explaining, turned to look at Bai Hao and said, "Come with me to the toilet."
The boy was being disturbed by the two little tails behind his buttocks. Hearing what he said, he quickly agreed, and put the banana he was using to threaten the black warrior on the plate of a waiter. , followed Tang Fang to a two-story red building on the left side of the atrium.
Bai Hao didn't know why he had to be accompanied when he went to the bathroom. He was wondering if Big Brother Tang wanted to do something fun, when he suddenly felt a fiery gaze from behind him. Turning around, I saw those two little tails sticking up again, almost stickier than the dog-skin plaster in the countryside. He was furious and scolded: "I want to go to the bathroom, what are you doing with me? Eating shit?"
The boy's voice was very loud, which woke up the guests around the table for a moment, especially the sentence "eat shit", it was very embarrassing for the person holding the food to eat or throw it away.
Many people looked at the young man with hatred, especially those elegant and noble ladies. They felt that Tang Fangtu and his younger brothers were not polite to the extreme. Vulgar words are really a sign of disrespect.
There are also some people who express their understanding. If it were anyone, there would be two big, thick, and hostile strong men behind their buttocks. They would even follow them to the toilet. They would feel angry, let alone Bai Hao, who was so high-spirited. young people.
The scene was chaotic and out of control for a while.
Bai Hao himself had no intention of apologizing at all, and continued to follow Tang Fang. "Khanos", who had just exposed half of his body, passed through the spiers of the red building and the battlements on the distant palace wall, and warmed him. The light painted his face.
Because of love, so indulge, because of hate, so indifferent.
No matter how beautiful those aristocratic ladies are, he has no interest in admiring them, and no matter how elegant those gentlemen are, he has no desire to make friends with them. The boy is such a person, even if he is a cockroach that is not on the table in the eyes of others, he will be a proud cockroach.
Some people say that because of low self-esteem, they become more noble, and because they are not strong enough inside, they are sensitive and irritable.
Bai Hao knows better than anyone else that he has the heart of darkness and the power of a black knight. But he doesn't have the heart of a strong man.
He doesn't want the heart of a strong man, that kind of thing, Brother Tang has it, and Aros has it. It is enough for Zhou Ai to have... He stubbornly wants to remain childish. You don't need to be mature, you don't need to grow up, just think about those complicated life principles and decide your future path.
This is very good, you can simply hate, and love happily.
Hate those nobles, hate the enemies of "Morning Star Casting", and regard them as objects to be defeated. Fight for it, sweat and bleed for it, and do your best for it.
Love those partners, love the friends of "Morning Star Casting", treat them as objects to be protected, pay for them, undertake for them, and dedicate to them.
He felt very happy, very happy, being able to be a simple person... It's great.
Although the gentlemen and ladies present are noble, elegant, and of extraordinary birth. But they lack trust and friendliness between people, even though they smile brightly on the surface. There is a turbid heart in the chest.
They laughed at him, laughed at him as a poor fellow with low self-esteem, a cockroach without connotation.
Why doesn't he feel that they are pitiful, they can swing knives at their relatives for the sake of vanity and power, and bow to the devil for money and women.
He is not Roy, and he will not put the so-called beauty in the world, the brilliance of humanity... and such things in his heart. Try to find the bright fire under the darkness, and water it with your heart and blood. Moisturize it with sweat and tears and let it grow. Then it blooms and dispels the darkness of the world.
He is Bai Hao. He hates the injustice in this world, hates the small group of people on the pyramid of power, believes in the violence of blood for blood and tooth for tooth, uses fear to make deals with the devil, and uses death to weave the wicked's body bags. For this reason, I would rather walk on the boundary between the world and hell, and be a lonely and gloomy witcher.
If it wasn't for Tang Fang and Elena's face, those two black warriors would have already turned into bloody corpses on the ground. "Eating shit" is not civilized enough? Sorry, there is no civilization in the land of death.
The sun is warm, and the sun is also bright. They can illuminate his face, but they can't melt the cold back, or the hostility that enveloped him, the murderous intent that lingers in his heart. The soul that lingers in vain.
Disturbed by the sudden chill, the two black warriors froze in place for a while, but soon came back to their senses, looked at each other, ignored Bai Hao's reprimand, and prepared to continue to follow.
They are His Majesty's most loyal personal guards, with physique and will that ordinary people can't match, so it is impossible to be intimidated by a mere word, even if Bai Hao has already tried to kill them.
Fearless and loyal are the motto of every Darth Vader.
But when the two stepped forward, two hands were pressed on their shoulders.
Tang Lin smiled and said, "Trust me, they really just go to the bathroom."
He was not as tall or as strong as the two black warriors, but his hands were like tongs made of refined steel, firmly imprisoning the bodies of the two men, unable to move half a step forward.
Bai Hao's back stretched longer and longer on the grass, and finally became thinner and narrower, before disappearing.
Someone reported this scene to the security personnel in charge of maintaining law and order at the site. After a short while, an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs led several agents and stepped forward to defuse the tension among the three.
All the guests watched with cold eyes, Tang Lin and the two black warriors became the focus for a while.
Only Servis, Li Yun and a few other people looked dignified, and their sharp sword-like gazes were fixed on the young man's face.
They have all experienced how strong the black warrior's physical fitness is, but the notorious Tang Lin can stop the two black warriors with both hands. shock.
Drizzt ordered two black warriors to monitor Bai Hao, isn't it too rash? We should send a few more people.
Of course, they also understand that it is very impolite to send people to follow them on such occasions. If they add more people, they are afraid that the foreigners in the venue will laugh out loud.
The domestic media are under the strict control of the government, so there is no need to care about them. Those foreign media are not fuel-efficient lamps. If something goes wrong, it will cause little commotion and lose the country's face, but His Majesty's face will matter more.
Tang Fang even dared to murder Jasper and Linova, is there anything he can't do? (To be continued.)
ps: completely drunk, no, drunk stupid~~~~~~~~~~~~~
