Chapter 20(1/3)

Flowers cover the most prosperous avenues in Monach. The colorful petals are the best decorations of this season, and the fragrance that permeates the air is also refreshing.

Whether it is the Town Hall Square or the Cathedral, a curtain of red silk can be seen everywhere. On the main road, an arched fly bridge is drawn up every few meters, and the fly bridge is decorated with shiny satin and golden tassels.

Wind chimes of different colors can be seen on the eaves of each building. These wind chimes make crisp and pleasant sounds under the breeze.

The sound of the wind chime mixed in the majestic march made people feel an extremely strange feeling.

The avenue decorated with flowers and silk extends to the bank of the river several kilometers away from Monach. At this moment, a gorgeous ship covered with exquisite carvings and covered with gold paint was docked on the pier.

An extremely tall elder was standing on the side of the ship, waiting for the guard to lay the long red felt blanket under his feet.

The long red felt carpet was connected along the gangway to the dock. At this moment, the entire dock was covered with red felt carpets, and the felt carpets were filled with all the nobles from all counties and provinces in the southern part of the Kingdom.

The aristocrats who are usually ambitious here seem humble and cautious, because compared with the people around them, their identities may no longer be noble.

At this moment, all the Counts who could stand on the dock had important positions. Ordinary Counts could only stand on the periphery, while those viscounts and barons could only stand on both sides to welcome them. They kept shaking the colorful flags in their hands, which should have been the job of servants and servants.

The group of great dukes stood closest to the ship, and the prince was the first to be the prince. Prince Henride was the only person who did not need to show respect.

Standing behind Prince Henride was Grand Duke Foss. Although Grand Duke Foss may not be more noble than the other grand dukes, he is the master of this place after all.

Suddenly the band played a majestic march, and the tall imperial envoy walked down the gangway with majestic steps. Looking at his majestic pose, Ruibo in the distance could not put the tall old man and the rumored Mr. Haohao together.

Behind the old man, another old man also looked quite tall, but not as tall as the old man in front of him. He had a cold and handsome face and almost no smile. This old man made Ruibo feel that he deserved his name. He looked like a rock, and his stubbornness was also conceivable.

There were only these two old men on the long gangway. At the end of the gangway, the servants had already been waiting there, but no one among them dared to snatch the glory of the two adults. Obviously, the level of the Deli Kingdom was also reflected in the order of disembarking.

Almost subconsciously, Rebow glanced at the water under the gangway. The skills he learned from Kelle made him find the most suitable hiding place in an instant. If one day he had to kill a great man from Deli to the Kingdom, he would definitely choose the time for them to get off the boat.

As the march became a welcome song, the ceremony to welcome the imperial envoy officially began. At this moment, the attendants walked down the gangway one by one, while Ruibo focused his attention on a young man.

The young man was wearing a clerk's clothes, a blue slut shirt on the upper body, a pair of high-knee leggings on the lower body, and a clerk's hat on his head. The only thing that proved that he was different from an ordinary waiter was the green belt cross-body on his shoulder.

What he expected was that the boy looked extremely shy, and his handsome face was a little flushed, which even caused a misunderstanding that he was a girl.

Just like most Deli, he looked a little taller than Ribo, which made Ribo feel a little jealous, and in fact he has always envied the figure of His Highness the prince.

Compared with those big men, these servants were obviously not so reserved and serious. They quickly mingled into the crowd, and the young man also squeezed into a group of noble teenagers. Obviously, the same age was exactly what attracted him.

It was also this reason that Ruibo dispelled the idea of ​​approaching the boy at this moment, because he knew very well that his appearance would make the boys disperse like chickens seeing a harrier eagle.

Ruibo stood on the distant hillside, quietly waiting for the opportunity. His mind was recalling information about the boy over and over again. These information came from the hands of the Earl of Cormilan, and he also made him know the stubborn old man's view of the alliance.

At this moment, Ribo is becoming more and more grateful that he has such an ally. Perhaps he is a complete scum, but this guy who is like a chameleon undoubtedly has incomparable value.

There was a busy and noisy over the pier, while Ruibo was alone and quietly waiting on this lonely hillside.

Today, everyone has their own responsibilities, and his responsibilities are to approach and guide the young man.

Looking at the intimate and warm welcome ceremony on the dock, Ruibo was slightly surprised. The prince was a very outstanding actor, which was known to him, but the Grand Duke Fosse was also so calm that he felt a little incredible.

A gap was revealed in the crowded crowd, and the big figures surrounded each other through the narrow gap of the crowd and walked outside. There had already been a series of exquisitely decorated and luxurious carriages, and servants in straight costumes guarded the carriages.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have lost the target he had originally stared in the crowded crowd, but under the training of the king of killers, Ruibo had a pair of keen eyes that could rival the harrier eagle. The young man in the crowd was always under his close attention, and he did not even miss any of the young man's subtle movements.

Seeing that the boy gradually left his peers and watching him return to his queue, Ruibo walked down the mountain. This was when he and the boy were alone.

At the foot of the mountain there was a row of unspecified carriages, but the shiny dark brown paint color made people look quite comfortable.

The carriages were prepared for the entourage of the imperial envoy, but they could also be allowed to be taken by Monach's municipal officials. At this moment, Ribo was sitting on one of the carriages, and his clothes made him look like a child brought to watch the fun by some municipal officials.

Ribo sat at the window as if he was enjoying the view outside, but he was actually waiting for the boy to open the car door. This was the guidance given to him by Master Og just a moment ago with his eyes that could see through the future. The boy was also covered with powerful magic, which seemed to confirm the extraordinary identity of the boy.

"Ah! I didn't expect that there was already someone here." A tender voice suddenly came from behind.

Ruibo turned his head unexpectedly, and he glanced at the boy, smiled and said, "There are no one here. If you want, we might as well take the same carriage."

The boy was obviously hesitant, but Ruibo's age finally gave up his concerns. Carrying a heavy suitcase, the boy got on the carriage. Ruiboxin took the suitcase and stuffed it into the partition on the top of the seat.

"Thank you very much for your help. Are you here to watch the welcoming ceremony?" The young man thanked politely. The upbringing he had made Rebau feel a little favorable. In this military-style country, even the young man could always see high-spirited people. The only one who had given him good feelings before was Mark, the son of Grand Duke Foss.

"Yes." Ruibo replied with a smile, and he showed a relaxed smile that had been forgotten.

"Are you just here alone and there are no adults around you?" the young man asked.

These words made Ruibo feel more affection for him. The boy was a bit like himself. Suddenly, Ruibo felt a strong sense of irony in his heart. He felt that he was doing the work of the little thief who completely changed his destiny back then.

"So that's it." Ruibo gave an ambiguous answer.

"Then why don't you stay with the adults? Why are you sitting alone in the carriage?" the young man asked again, which made Ruibo look more and more like himself.

"I can't show up on their carriages if others leave in other carriages." Ruibo said calmly. This is not a complete lie.

"I'm glad to be on the same carriage with you. Everyone calls me New, you can call me that too, what about you?" the young man said with a friendly smile.

"Call me Ribo," Ribo said.

At this moment, the car door was opened again. A tall young man stood at the door, carrying two huge suitcases in his hand. He looked at Ruibo and said to the boy next to him: "New, help me, these documents are too heavy."

The boy quickly took a suitcase handed over, and he stuffed it under the table.

"This is Furunk." The young man pointed at the tall young man and said, "This is Ribo."

Throwing another suitcase over the seat opposite, the tall boy smiled and said, "Hello, Ribo, are you a Monach?"

Hearing this sentence, Ruibo didn't know whether he should say that the young man's observation ability was too bad, or that he had become more and more accustomed to the subtle expression and language, so he was hard to be noticed as a foreigner.

"Ah! No, my hometown is a small town further south." Ruibo said in a word, and this time he did not lie either.

"What are the jars on you for?" the young man asked suddenly. From his eyes, he had been curious about this for a long time.

"There are some medicine powders here, which are very useful but extremely dangerous. Using a little bit is a good medicine to save lives and treat injuries, but as long as the portion is slightly controlled, it will be fatal." Ruibo said, still he did not lie.

"So why do you carry this kind of potion that I have never heard of before? Do you often get hurt?" the young man asked again.

"Okay, New, it's offensive to you when you're always like this." The tall young man said, fiddling with the boy's head hard, "Don't take it to heart, this guy is always like this."

"It's okay, I used to be like this." Ribo said with a smile, and this time he did tell the truth.

This sentence obviously brought him closer to the boy's mind.

At this moment, the car door was opened again, but the person at the door saw Ruibo among the people sitting on the carriage, and immediately became a little panicked. He quickly closed the car door and walked straight towards another carriage.

"What's wrong with this guy? He was shocked." Furrenk asked in confusion.

"It seems that he is not on our ship." The boy New said

The carriage drove towards the city along the flat road, and the gorgeous and fragrant flowers on both sides of the road were amazed by the two passengers.

"I heard that Monach has the best weapon craftsman, but I really hope to customize a long sword." The tall young man said excitedly.

"Folenk is a very outstanding swordsman, and his teacher is Lord Shi Wode, the master of court swordsmanship." New quickly explained.

"I know a pretty good weapon maker, I can introduce him to you." Ruibo said in a word.

"Oh-thank you for your kindness, my friend, but Grand Duke Fosse's eldest son Xiuen has recommended another gentleman to me." Furrenk said with a smile.

"With your intention to be an officer with superb swordsmanship?" asked Ribo, because he knew that officers were a very glorious and promising profession for Deli.

"No, Furunk's father is the deputy commander of the Knights of the Third Corps. He is now a knight intern. This time he is on patrol, and his identity is a member of the guard." New said.

Hearing this identity, Ribo could only pray for this cheerful man secretly, hoping that he would not lose his life in the upcoming "accident".

At this moment, he finally understood why both Eckert and Kelle warned him that the most important thing in this business was to be ruthless and ruthless. Ribo had no way to guess whether he would have feelings for these two people six months ago, and whether it would imply that danger might come.

"Being a knight does have a bright future. Congratulations, my friend." Ribo said, but his tone did not show the surprise he deserved.

"It seems that you are not a simple person either." Furrenk said with a smile without any concern: "No one on the boat, except New York, is not envious of me."

"Then New York's identity is quite superb," ​​Ribo said calmly.

"Oh - his mother's Grand Duke Kane's favorite sister, you should imagine how great he would be, and his father is also a famous family of Palin, and his family is famous for its wealth." Furrenk said.

"No, I don't want to be mentioned by people all the time, nor do I want to rely on my family to gain recognition from others, and in my opinion all this just makes me lonely." Ng said obviously a little displeased.

"I believe Ribo will never be alienated from you because of this, and I didn't even see how much he reacted to it." Furrenk said quickly.

"I am indeed full of envy and jealousy for New York, and in fact, the same is true for you, but what I am jealous of is not your bright future, but that you all have the care of your parents." Rebbo said calmly: "Like New York, loneliness always comes with me. I have almost no friends of the same age. The one who is closest to me is my respectable guardian, my tutor and bodyguard."

"My family also has endless wealth, but these wealth has brought bad luck to my family as if they were cast by a vicious curse. Grandpa and two uncles died one after another. My parents also died in plague and disease. I have to carry these terrible potions at any time. They have saved my life in extreme danger countless times."

"Oh-I'm very sorry to let you recall these unpleasant pasts. It can be seen that all this has irreversible harm to you. In fact, I have been wondering that you seem to be too emotional, and you are not even surprised by my identity and New York." Furrenk said solemnly.

"This may be a reason, but more of the factors come from the teachings of my respectable guardian, who told me that a person's status is not important, what really matters is where he is and how much he has made and can contribute."

Speaking of this, Ruibo looked at the shy boy beside him with a concentrating look. This was also what Mr. Hyde had done before.

"Of course, the higher the status of a person, the more positions he can choose, and the greater the contribution he is willing to make, and wealth and praise are the best rewards."

It was obviously not easy for the other two to understand. The two of them stared at Ribo blankly. After a while, Furrenk suddenly laughed and said, "You really surprised me. You look like an old man, even speaking."

Ribo did not try to refute, he just smiled calmly.

At this time, the carriage had already driven on the ramp leading straight to the Town Hall Square. The two kilometers from here to the Town Hall Square were covered with bright red carpets, and on both sides were tall and tall soldiers wearing shiny breastplates. They held beautifully decorated long swords of ceremonial tribute in their hands, and there seemed to be a layer of sunshine flowing on the silver-plated sword bodies.

Behind the soldiers were the people waving colorful flags, which was the only time they did not need to bow respectfully, so they seemed quite excited to wave the flag.

Driving on this long bright red carpet, the long string of carriages didn't sound much. Looking at the crushed red carpet under his feet, Ruibo didn't know whether he should regard this as a proof that Delizzie was more extravagant than Francs.

The carriages in the front of the queue drove straight towards the Town Hall Square surrounded by a group of cavalry, while the carriages that Ruibo was riding in turned into the street several hundred meters away from the square.

The street was also whitewashed, but it was not decorated as magnificent as the Town Hall Square.

The first person to walk out of the carriage was Furenke, who was close to the car door. He was still carrying the two heavy suitcases, and he looked no different from those ordinary servants.
To be continued...
