The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 365: I don’t think so
"Just send it here."
Following Eugene around to the south gate, Annan stopped, turned around and politely smiled and nodded at the ordinary-looking young man who gave people a sense of credibility: "I'm just strolling around...Zhiji They should come to you."
"Is it okay? You're still getting paid. Is it possible that it's not safe here alone? After all, Paper Princess won't come to you right away."
Eugene Geraint looked at Annan with some worry: "I remember you have never been to the royal capital, right? There are many secrets and taboos here... let alone a winter person, even if you are from Noah Even outsiders may not understand.
“For example, the reason why our Geraint family’s mansion is so large and so luxuriously decorated is because our home is directly connected to the palace.”
"Directly connected?"
"Yes."
The ordinary-looking young man replied.
"Do you remember that fountain?"
"The one with the many statues?"
"Yes," Eugene nodded, "You have also noticed that many of them are not from Geraint's family. Because this is not the back garden of Geraint's family in the first place...
"If you bypass the fountain and continue walking north, you will reach the back garden of the palace."
Eugene replied: "Did you notice those guards?
"That's not the guard of the Earl's Palace...or rather, it's not just that. It's a garrison of Noah's guards and secret troops."
...No wonder.
Annan suddenly realized.
He was a little strange at first, why was there so many people crowded inside a mere Earl's Mansion... The walls could even be regarded as city walls, and there were several layers of guards on the stairs. Not to mention the patrols on watchtowers and rooftops.
Even the king’s palace is nothing more than this——
Annan was still a little hesitant at that time.
After seeing the mirror corridor inside the Earl's Mansion, he even had the feeling "My lord, are you trying to rebel?"
...Now it seems that this is not an over-decoration by Old Crow.
And look at the gorgeous mirror gallery, the huge fountain, and the corridor of stone statues of Noah's great men...
I'm afraid the Earl's Palace was originally part of the royal palace.
It seems that the political status of the Crow family may be different from what Annan originally thought...
...They don't seem to need Kafni as a weight to increase their influence.
Annan glanced at Eugene.
Although his appearance is not outstanding at all, and even by the standards of aristocrats, he is extremely ordinary, to the extent that he will disappear immediately if he falls into the crowd... but his brain is really good.
Annan didn't say anything, and Eugene immediately realized what Annan was afraid of - their deal was clear, and Annan didn't want the Crow family to use his face to increase their influence and increase their weight in front of the king.
So Eugene quickly told Annan in a roundabout way that the political status of the Geraint family was very special... and they did not lack his influence.
He is indeed Lao Crow’s most trusted son.
I am afraid that the Geraint family and the secret intelligence agency "One-Eyed Crow" will also be handed over to him in the future...
So Annan immediately changed the topic and did not continue talking about the previous incident:
"The back garden of the palace? Is it the one blessed by Sir Silver's Pope?"
"Do you still have any impression of...?"
Eugene was a little surprised.
Annan smiled and replied ambiguously: "I must not have forgotten everything..."
——Although I really forgot all about it.
"But I don't know if what I remember is the one you mentioned. I remember that the flower is from the Rosaceae family. The petals are almost transparent, jade-like pure white, while the branches and leaves are all violet in color. .It’s really beautiful.”
"Ah, you are talking about the Holy Silver Flower Field. The blessing of this generation of Popes."
Eugene answered quickly.
"This generation?"
Annan noticed his choice of words.
Eugene nodded: "Actually, every generation of popes will bless something in the palace. This is also tradition... In fact, almost all flower fields have been blessed by the pope, but because It’s a different pope, so the effects are different. There are many flower fields that are not ornamental, but used as curse materials.”
"But the Holy Silver Flower Field is not the closest to us, it is the closest to the palace... The closest to here is the Crystal Lake Flower Field. I can take you to see it next time."
"Then next time."
Annan smiled.
The so-called "next time" is a polite way of saying "I won't take it if you don't tell me."
Eugene then asked again: "If you are really worried, how about I disguise myself before taking you out?
"It's rare for you to come to the capital. I have many places I want to take you to... I'm afraid you won't be able to come back again when you return."
Annan realized that Eugene was asking himself...if he would ascend the throne immediately after returning to China.
So he smiled and said: "Not necessarily.
"But even if I want to come, my sister may not want to. She is already very annoyed just by allowing me to stay here temporarily."
He was reminding Eugene - I have a crush on Noah, and my sister Maria knows I'm here.
Eugene also noticed the hidden meaning in Annan's words.
He smiled and said nothing more.
It is really comfortable to talk to smart people.
"There's no need to disguise yourself."
Annan joked: "You were not conspicuous originally, but maybe you became more conspicuous after you disguised yourself.
"But I'm still a child, please don't take me to some places. My sister will be angry."
"Your Highness Kafni will be angry too, right?"
Eugene said with a smile: "Before Paper Princess arrives, let me take you for a walk."
He continued walking forward, Annan following behind him.
He did not mention Annan's previous refusal to follow him, and Annan did not say anything about it again.
Save each other some face - this is also a tacit understanding between smart people.
And the existence of Eugene did save Annan a lot of trouble.
Eugene did not restrain his presence. As long as he followed Annan, no Xiaoxiao would dare to approach them. Based on the security of the royal capital of Noah, although it is unlikely that there are any thieves or beggars near the palace, there may be more troublesome guys.
Annan's perception is very keen.
At this distance, the moment he is targeted, Annan can tell the danger and hostility of the other party.
But those guys who had ulterior motives towards them, the moment they saw Eugene, their eyes overflowed with unconcealable fear and awe.
This also made Annan realize that... this young man who was particularly warm and friendly to him did not seem to be a kind person.
"Speaking of which, are you satisfied with the remuneration?"
Eugene walked in front and asked.
Annan shrugged and was about to answer.
But he suddenly felt that his eyes were white - as if there were countless filling lights, flooding and destroying the entire world. The whole world was left with only a vast expanse of white.
He immediately realized it was an illusion.
But before Annan could do anything...he felt his left shoulder being tapped gently from behind.
Annan was shocked——
At this distance, his perception should be able to see the person behind him.
But even though he was photographed, he still didn't sense anyone behind him.
"Can I excuse you for a moment?"
It was a surprisingly gentle, slow voice.
Annan turned around. Try to observe the identity of the person with the naked eye.
The man looked to be about 26 or 27 years old ~IndoMTL.com~ much younger than Annan expected. He was wearing a brown jacket with many pockets and a small pocket watch about three to four centimeters in diameter around his neck. The pocket watch was placed in his breast pocket.
He has a gentle and lonely expression on his face, with white silk gloves on his hands, and complex magic circles painted on the backs of his hands - the black part is a magic circle if you look at it alone, and if you count the red lines, it is a magic circle. It's another magic circle, and the blue lines will change, and the red and purple lines will be a new magic circle...
"Before you ask this, you have already disturbed me, sir."
Annan responded politely.
"It's okay."
The young man has neither malice nor kindness. He smiles calmly like a god. He spreads his hands and white thread-like light lingers between his fingers: "I am not asking for your opinion.
"Can you please come with me?"
“—I don’t think it’s possible.”
A cold female voice sounded in the white world.
