Chapter 25 Journey to the Royal Capital 2

Although there were only twelve soldiers, although the surname Cecil was far away from the political center of the kingdom, and although the last part of the family's property in the capital had been taken over to the royal family a hundred years ago, Gao Wen still entered the city in the most eye-catching way and cast the flag seven hundred years ago.

The flag was only allowed to be used when Gauvin Cecil was still alive. It is better to sing this flag to convey a signal to the current Ansu royal family-

"It was not the seventeen-year-old Viscount Cecil who entered the city, but the Grand Duke of the South."

Upon hearing the news of the attendant's return, Francis II immediately understood the meaning conveyed to him by the "ancient man". The already old king walked to the terrace of Silver Fort and looked at the direction of the Cecil family entering the city.

At this distance, he could not see anything - the city was much larger than that, even so big that it could not see the limit when standing at the highest point of the Silver Fort. I wonder if the ancient man who had been sleeping seven hundred years ago was surprised when he stepped into this city?

Will he realize that seven hundred years have passed and everything is no longer what it used to be?

The attendant was still waiting for his orders beside him. Francis II withdrew his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man who looked ordinary: "Receive him according to the standard of receiving the duke, and then tell him that I will meet him at noon tomorrow and ask the Grand Duke of the South to rest in the Silver Fort to relieve the fatigue of the journey."

The attendant received the order, but before he was about to retreat, Francis II called him again: "In addition, except for the meeting arrangements, all the requests made by Grand Duke Cecil are as good as possible - there is no loss in terms of etiquette."

The attendant stepped down, and a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes, with short light golden hair and a handsome face walked up from the side - he had been standing next to the nearby pillar: "Father, do you think the 'resurrection' grand duke is true or false?"

"This is not important," Francis II looked at his heirs. "Although Andrew sent that letter and we have received a lot of evidence, the specific fact of the ancient grand duke is true depends on the future development. As for now, I can only say... it is indeed not a farce. The resurrected ancient man gave us a big 'surprise'."

The young man lowered his eyelids and looked humbly asking for advice: "What do you think he is going to do?"

"Before meeting, all the intentions can only be guessed. Judging his style of conduct based on the momentum he created along the way and those rumors that were obviously promoted by someone, he would definitely not express his intentions clearly in advance," the old king shook his head, "You can find an opportunity to contact him and see his attitude, but to grasp the degree, we are facing an unprecedented situation, don't anger him."

The young man promised and turned around and left the room.

Francis II turned around and continued to look in the direction of the city, but sighed slightly in his heart.

He was still too young, and his heir was not very good at hiding true thoughts. He was too concerned about the ancient man who fell from the sky - or crawled out of the ground, so that he could see his urgency at a glance.

But anyway, it’s not a big deal. Instead of letting him contact him secretly in private, it’s better to give this opportunity.

After seeing the attendant riding a horse out of the palace, Francis II nodded and said to the air beside him: "Crave, go monitor Gauven Cecil and his party, and you will get any revenge if you have any situation."

As soon as the old king finished speaking, a veil under the nearby corridor swayed gently, but no figure appeared.

"In addition, don't get too close. If that is really a legend from seven hundred years ago, you will definitely be discovered when you get close to it rashly." The old king added.

The veil under the columns remained motionless.

...

Gao Wen and his party entered from the main entrance of the city of San Sunil and rode all the way through the city's avenue. Almost half of the people in the city knew the news. Before arriving at Silver Fort, the party met the team sent by the king to greet him.

The welcome team was luxurious and the show was very grand. The red carpet was paved from the depths of the Silver Fort to Gao Wen's feet. The dressed waiters and maids were scattering petals along the way, and the trumpeter and drummer played music in two rows. All this means that the king's Majesty might have been prepared for more than a day - but Gao Wen could still be sure that if his way of entering the city changed, or if the day of entering the city was earlier, the welcome shape would be different at this moment.

God knows how many plans that His Majesty the King has arranged to deal with this moment.

Although Gowen himself did not have a life experience of dealing with aristocrats or royal families, there was a lot of relevant knowledge and experience in his memory. Although Gowen Cecil was a man from the barbaric era when Ansu was founded, he also experienced the glorious era of the Gondor Empire - he could not see what Ansu was like seven hundred years later, but he knew what the Gondor Empire was seven hundred years ago.

The most prosperous human empire seven hundred years ago is so complex that no other country on the mainland dares to imagine.

"Please follow me to the Silver Fort. His Majesty the King has ordered the most luxurious room and the best meals, and hot spring water to relieve the fatigue of all the guests. The meeting will be arranged at noon tomorrow, so please have a good rest tonight."

A receptionist with a calm temperament - an inner court noble of unknown surname - stood in front of Gao Wen and said politely. Gao Wen turned his head to look at Rebecca next to him, but found that the silly girl was staring curiously wide at her eyes and looking around.

Although she tried hard to remain steady along the way, in front of the Silver Fort, during the grand welcome ceremony, the lord lady from the country was decisively stunned. Her eyes were no longer enough. She didn't even know whether to look at the neat and gorgeous guard of honor first, or to look at the majestic palace in the distance, with the entire exterior wall covered with silver foil.

"I thought the king wouldn't wait to see me," Gao Wen shrugged, instead of dismounting, but looked down at the reception officer. "A man who popped out of the coffin is not so easy to see."

The reception officer was a little stunned. He probably didn't expect the legendary grand duke to speak like this, but he quickly adjusted: "Your Majesty considers that you are tired of carriages, so the meeting time will be scheduled tomorrow."

"Is that right..." Gao Wen deliberately paused for a long time, and continued when the reception officer was about to sweat in a cold sweat, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. But since I don't meet today, there is no need for me to enter his castle - I can't live in Silver Fort."

The reception officer's face changed slightly: "Then you..."

"It's better to live in your own home," Gao Wen smiled. "I just don't know if No. 4 Crown Street has been demolished by you seven hundred years?"

Hearing the words No. 4 Crown Street, the reception officials and several nearby inner court officials changed slightly involuntarily: Although Francis II reminded them, they really didn't expect that the request made by Gao Wen would be in this direction!

That was the residence of Gowan Cecil in the capital seven hundred years ago.

Although Gauven Cecil was the Duke of the South and lived most of his time on fiefs in the south, just like other pioneers of the same period, he also had his own residence in the capital, which was the mansion built by the founding king Charles I for every first generation of pioneer knights, and these mansions were located in Crown Street, the closest neighborhood to Silver Castle.

Whenever the pioneers go from their fiefdom to the royal capital to discuss the love, they will live in their own mansions. This is the rule of that year.

Now seven hundred years have passed, and all the pioneers (except for someone who just cheated the zombie) have died, but every house on Crown Street still remains the same as they were before, and the royal family is still investing in the continuous renovation and repair work over the past seven hundred years to ensure that they can exist permanently.

They have actually become living fossils, but these living fossils are still alive: the descendants of various pioneers were still alive and all inherited the legacy of their ancestors.

Except for Cecil's family - since the talented Grumman Cecil was released that year, No. 4 Crown Street has been taken over to the royal family for a hundred years...

"No. 4 Crown Street..." the reception officer said hesitantly, "It is indeed still there, but it has been completely renovated many times..."

"Oh, that's for sure. After all, it's just a house, not as strong as a castle," Gao Wen laughed. "But since there is renovation, it means that it's well preserved now? It should be fine if I move in, right?"

"Of course..." The receptionist originally planned to say that he had to ask the king to make a decision, but after seeing Gao Wen's smile-like expression, he couldn't speak, "But..."

"I know, it has been taken over to the royal family, right?" Gao Wen did not intend to make a person who was just running errands too embarrassed, so he took the initiative to say, "But I heard that there are no one living there now-in fact no one has lived in this century, right?"

"Yes, after all, the ancestor left behind... many things that no one dared to take away, and no one is qualified to inherit them to this day, so No. 4 Crown Street is still vacant."

Gao Wen continued to smile: "Since no one inherits it, I should be fine if I stay home for one night, right?"

"Of course," the reception officer remembered the order sent to him by the king's servant, and had to nod, "Then please wait, I will lead the way..."

"No need, I still remember the way of my home." Gao Wen waved his hand, "Just go back and talk to the king and tell him that I will come to visit him on time at noon tomorrow."

Then he turned his horse's head and patted Rebecca's head before leaving: "Silly kid, go."

Rebecca then shuddered: "Hey? Master, we won't live in the palace today?"

"What's the best in the palace? When I built it back then, I told Charlie that the land he chose was not good, but the roof broke into a big hole in the third year of the construction. Let's take you to where I lived back then, and that's what it looks like."
